Electric vehicle category
Hi,

I noticed your comment on the transport category talk about a sub-category for electric vehicles. I thought I'd give you a little info that might make that happen.

Wikinews policy dictates that a category can be created if it can be populated with five or more published articles. So, if you can find that many main namespace articles that clearly justify being in the category, request it.

Yes, you'll find we fully protect news stories once they're several days old; the solution is to put a list of links to relevant articles on Category talk:Transport and add the editprotected template to bring it to administrator attention. Someone will review your list, create and sight the category, and put relevant articles in it. Do try and tie this to a relevant Wikipedia category; because, there are bots and enWP templates to put on portals over there listing recent news on a subject, and encouraging people to contribute relevant news stories here.

So, hope this helps, and thanks for your interest in making Wikinews more useful. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
