Cargo plane crashes in Kyrgyzstan, killing over 30
Published. Congrats! The first article or few are generally the most difficult, as one is learning everything at once, trying to clamber up our initial learning curve; it's not at all uncommon for the first article (or more) to be a major learning experience but not make it to publication. Well done. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 01:22, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I came out of the experience feeling like my efforts would be better focused on contributions to Wikipedia.  Wikinews isn't quite what I thought it was, and I'm a little irked at how non-English-language sources are treated (though I do understand the reason).  I'll try to keep an open mind about contributing in the future but it probably won't happen again soon.
 * No problem. Some folks try several projects to work out where they feel is right for them; Wikinews is most right for me, I've met folks for whom Wiktionary or Wikisource is home, and presumably every project has its natives.  And some people have secondary projects, too (case in point, I'm also an admin on Wikibooks).  If you know more now about Wikinews, and can make more informed decisions about when it's the right tool for the job, so much the better.  Cheers.  --Pi zero (talk) 04:38, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
