How do you edit this place?
Hello. I was just wondering why almost every single article I've come across is protected? How do you write/ edit anything without being an admin? KMRscreamer (talk) 21:40, 13 August 2015 (UTC)


 * By writing a new article. Because a news article is a snapshot in time, it doesn't keep changing indefinitely; twenty-four hours after publication, our archive policy kicks in and no further substantive changes are allowed.  A week or more after publication, it's fully protected.


 * There's a good compact overview of how the project works at WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing. Then, a good resource for writing a first article is WN:Writing an article.  If you're familiar with Wikipedia, there's For Wikipedians.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:28, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
