Although we can't take a Wikipedia-style article, you may want to consider whether there's a news story in the material you've got. Some things to keep in mind: --Pi zero (talk) 15:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A Wikinews article is about (is focused on) a specific event/phenomenon that just happened (is fresh) &mdash; if we're to publish something, it has to be published within at most 2–3 days after the focal event happens.
 * The format of a news article is very different from that of an encyclopedia article. If you create an article page using one of the article-creation forms scattered about the site &mdash;there's one on the Howdy template at the top of this page, for instance&mdash; it sets up some of the basic formatting markup for you.  The content of the article itself is arranged with a lede, succinctly answering as many as reasonably possible of the basic questions about the news event, followed by further paragraphs proceeding in inverted pyramid style.
 * There's lots of useful information and links about how to write a Wikinews article on the Howdy template at the top of this page.
 * BTW (just mentioning this), the Wikinews license is more permissive than the Wikipedia license, so material from Wikipedia can't be imported to Wikinews except with the permission of all the authors &mdash; otherwise it'd be a copyvio.
