User talk:Faruhk~enwikinews

Hello,

thanks for your story. In order to publish an original story you might need to explain on the article's talk page about your original reporting. This is explained in our policy Original reporting.

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

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!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 00:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Newsworthy
I agree, and I believe you misinterpreted me. If you read the link provided, you will read that there are requirements to publish original stories. For example, if you say that the singer thinks introducing Lincoln to any child is the reward in itself, this could mean (a) that you interviewed him (b) that you've read this somewhere (c) ... We need to know what part of the story is original.

Every single piece of information on wikinews needs to be sources, if you want to publish something without mentioning sources in an appended section, people add the original-tag, and explain on the talk page what part is original. So please go to the article's talk page and explain what the nature is of your original reporting, or add sources. Then you can just change back what I've changed, and publish the story which I found very interesting.

Talk:Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission endorses Children's Song
Dear James,

As you can read in our policy Original reporting, we need to have more detailed research notes. Could you provide some more evidence what you claim? For example a transcript of the interview, any related emails... details are explained in the Original reporting, please read it carefully.

I know it can be frustrated for new users on this website to try to get a story published, but as you can understand we need some verification because we cannot have anybody claiming anything.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Faruhk. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Faruhk~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
