First articles
Hi. The first articles submitted to en.wn are the hardest. It takes a little practice to learn how to write for this project; it's common for a new contributor's first article &mdash;sometimes their first several articles&mdash; to not make it to publication. Hopefully those first few articles are great learning experiences, and once past our initial learning curve, things get lots easier. --Pi zero (talk) 14:53, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Local government elections held in Balochistan
Hi. Please see my new review comments, and. --Pi zero (talk) 18:06, 8 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I wasn't able to verify a bunch of facts in the article, see my review comments.


 * The new lede you provided, after the second review, needed work; take a look at the for what I did to fix it up.  Reviewers have to be "independent" of an article in order to publish; basically, the reviewer has to not be a coauthor.  So I tried to mostly limit myself to using existing material (though one sentence was actually restored from an earlier version of the article) and removing some parts that were problematic.


 * Hopefully, this is all an opportunity for you to learn a lot; as I remarked earlier, it all gets a lot easier once you're past our basic principles (many of which are described at WN:PILLARS). --Pi zero (talk) 15:21, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid the details cited for this aren't adequate to ascertain if Wikinews can assert Fair Use for it. Firstly, you've given a direct link to the image &mdash; hosted on Amazon's cloud service, which makes it extremely difficult to establish where the image was lifted from. Secondly, you're asserting a Breaking News exemption when the news doesn't qualify under Wikinews' rules for such. Those are only for situations where an article is likely to have significant updates in the initial 24 hours post-publication. A sporting match/tournament which is finished doesn't fit those criteria.

Lastly, the angle/position of the photograph is clearly from within the ground, where only credentialled press photographers and ICC officials would be able to take a camera. Only in the latter case, where an ICC official has taken the photo, and used it on their personal website, would it be acceptable to reuse the image under Fair Use provisions. If they've used it on an official site, as part of a report on the tournament outcome, then they're acting as a "competing news agency" which Wikinews' Fair Use policy explicitly prohibits. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:45, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
