Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Please see the article tag and format the article properly. See the above message on how to edit wikinews and see Original reporting for requirement for Original Reporting. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 11:58, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Please address the concerns before removing any tags and publishing this story again. Read Original reporting: you need to provide original reporting notes. External links don't belong in the article body. If you keep ignoring our advice, you will get blocked from editing Wikinews. Thank you. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi,


 * I sincerely apologise if you feel bitten by my remarks. You need to provide some notes on your original reporting work: do you have something to prove this story, or that we can verify your claims?

Thai Tourism Minister Applauds The Chiang Mai Charity Calendar
Hi there - Sorry to appear such a complete novice but cannot find a way to resolve the "Bring into compliance with WN:SG" for this as I am not sure where the problem lies - the previous article? Grateful for advice - Best regards Chowringhee 03:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, no, it is not just the previous article link. The sources should be organized and styled as per WN:SG. This section of the Guide is pretty straight-forward and you should easily be able to follow it. Further, if you claim original reporting (WN:OR), you must provide detailed notes on the collaboration page about your journalistic venture. Last, I would say that the article is so complimentary to Dr. Suvit that it may fail neutrality standards. If published, this article should be dated as per publishing time (UTC) and not when you started writing or when the event took place. I wish I had more time to help you with this, as I would likely have made the changes myself so as to illustrate. However, there are lots of other helpful people here at Wikinews. --SVTCobra 01:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I have revised this and added notes. I will be grateful if it can be reviewed, corrected if required and published. As much as I try to follow instructions to the letter, I am still not sure what I am doing and the sources do not format correctly. Please can you help? Thanks-- Chowringhee 02:47, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You had a minor problem with the sources. One of the URLs contained a "]" character that screwed the wikicode parser. This is an obscure technical bug I've never seen before.
 * At the moment I think the article looks fine. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
