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!

Audio
Hey,

Thanks for getting involved in Audio Wikinews. I do agree the system is a bit confusing - if you have any ideas for a better way of doing it you can code it or tell me and i'll code it. I think it's something that should be promoted, its a great way of reading articles. Matt | userpage|contribs 10:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

News briefs:October 14, 2007
It would be great if you could re-record the last part today, if you can. Thanks.  —Fellow Wiki  Newsie 17:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Just a note, for your future news brief's, instead of just "and this is licenced under the Creative Commons licence" say "and this is licenced under the the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 licence." You could also say the URL of the website, just like you did on your first brief, which is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/. You are doing a great job btw, I just listened to your intro for David's article.  —Fellow Wiki  Newsie 16:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Audio stuff
First of all, I wanted to say how happy I was to see someone was doing audio stuff on wikinews again. I was just wondering if you could tag all uploads on commons for audio with either or  when uploading. Also it seems like these files have a number of different copyright statements. It is prefered that the audio files from wikinews content be under the CC-By 2.5 license as that is the license news articles use.

I know the upload stuff onto commons for things that are not pictures is a bit complicated and not well documented. If you want I could probably get a special upload page just for wikinews audio made that has all the info for audio files on it. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * side note. I saw the following on someone elses talk page, and since i like to jump in and answer questions not addressed to me, i thought i'd go ahead :)

Booya Matto, wondering whats up with the Audiowiki podcast and how we might be able to get more Wiki sound clips out to the public. Or are there existing podcast radio peeps we're friendly with can snag some airtime? .:*:*:DAVUMAYA:*:*:. 00:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There used to be an internet radio/podcast wiki project called wikicast which we were i geuss you could say friendly with (as a wiki project). As far as i know there project died, but i think a couple of wikinewsies were involved with it (Umm, i think user:Terinjokes (who unfortunately just left wikinews), user:nzgabriel and user:ShakespeareFan00 (not 100% sure on list)). There is a wikinews audio podcast, which last I checked only worked half the time, and when it did work, no one used it because no client supported vorbis. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

News briefs: October 23, 2007
Something seems to have gone awry with Oct 23. I removed references to Oct 24, but Oct 22 persisted, plus there seems to be no audio for Oct 23. Good luck. --SVTCobra 04:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * HELP! The noinclude is not working, The briefs are not being excluded from the main page, whats up with that? Also, the naming convention is whack I mean there should be a space there but when I first made a brief a week ago people renamed it to the whacked up way it was. I don't know why. I honestly would like to go back and rename all files with proper spaces so it looks clean and neat. I'll leave it up to you admin to decide. .:*:*:DAVUMAYA:*:*:. 04:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Umm, yes, I am an admin, but horribly illiterate when it comes to the various multimedia projects that have been attempted here over time. I cannot tell you what the right thing to do is, nor how to avoid the problem in the future. All I could do was to determine that something was wrong. (functionality of noinclude? beats me.) Good luck. --SVTCobra 05:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Considering you are the main (and pretty much only contributor) to the audio project, I think you probably have the right to name them in whatever fashion/change the rules of the project in whatever way you see fit. The only issue with the format is that some (calander) pages expect them to be in a specific format. I can modify the cal stuff to work with another format if you want. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you mean a lack of space between News briefs: and October 23, 2007? That is there because News briefs are supposed to be pseudo-namespace (Compare that with talk:some page or category:October 23, 2007) Of courcse it isn't actually a namespace, so it looks kind of funny. As I said before, since you're the main contributor to audio stuff at the moment, pretty much what you says goes for that side of the project. If you do want to change the formats, just let me know (or some other admin or user who knows what templates need changing) so I can stop the date category (Datecategory) from breaking. (Or you could just redirect News briefs:October whatever, to News briefs: October whatever and everything will keep on working as inclusions follow redirects). Bawolff ☺☻ 05:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Blah lets keep the formatting for now, it doesn't really bother me but if it serves a certain purpose or a future purpose as a pseudo-namespace then let it be easier for us. I don't have anything big to propose changing now other than me cleaning up the project pages and creating a better guide for people. .:*:*:DAVUMAYA:*:*:. 06:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Audio Wikinews and promoting the Wikinews website
For the Wikinews audio briefs, could you add a mention of the Wikinews website? Thanks to the Creative Commons licence, the audiocast may be freely copied to other locations, or potentially even broadcast on radio stations. Therefore not all listeners would be on the Wikinews website, nor would they be aware of how to access Wikinews. This statement could be made at the end of the audiocast and mention something like: "For breaking news, please check the Wikinews website at en.wikinews.org". That said, it's good to see your efforts on re-establishing frequent Audio Wikinews briefs and this is much appreciated. DL+1613 03:20, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Rawktastic, I'll do it. Part of my branding campaign will be to boost popularity of the Wikinews site overall. .:*:*:DAVUMAYA:*:*:. 05:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Audio wikinews
My condolences for the death of your friend, I hope you'll be alright. Don't worry about Audio Wikinews, I just wanted to say you are doing a great and professional job, and once I return from my training in the UK I'll maybe pick it up again so we could work together on this. All the best, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I was wondering about using the guitar intro for Wikinews you used in your latest brief. What license is it under? Could you upload it to Commons separately for other contributors to download and use? --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 02:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)



有關coolpedia系列，跟一些注意的地方
你既然敢用中文說，我就用中文直接回應！

雖然這裡是英文平台，但如果你不高興的話，歡迎提出刪除，我不反對. 但是，我跟您講明，政府線的新聞必須要去行政院新聞局申請駐外記者許可證，才可申請報導台灣政府相關新聞，難道你還不知道？而且因為政治線的事情，被台灣立報蔡主筆說我風格不佳，不建議我去走政治線，否則入聯的事情早就去關切了.

我講真的，我現在只有協會的線索，不要以為記者會人人都能去，上次ING，我還因為被講說「不是商業媒體」就被謝絕，請你搞清楚！我畢竟是體育院校畢業的人，我的主新聞線是體育和資訊，如果你認為其他部分需要我加強的就跟我說，雖然英文這邊只有我拿到授權.

如果你要刪除那篇還在寫的專欄和原新聞，請連中文一起刪掉，我不反對. Brock contact... 12:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 請你看清楚這篇，如果行政院追查到的話，我不是坐牢就是死. Brock contact... 15:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
