User talk:Pm5~enwikinews

Welcome
Pm5, 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! --Deprifry|+T+ 08:54, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Category:Muhammad carricatures
I am removing this category from the site because it is not a news type category. It is a very reasonable encyclopedic category, but Wikinews is not an encyclopedia. Please desist in creating this category, or adding it to articles.

Be aware that Wikinews has an extension, DynamicPageList, which allows us to create and track combinations of categories, such Category:Islam and Category:Politics and conflicts. It works like this:

 category=Published category=Islam category=Politics and conflicts count=5 

It is tools like this which make very precise categories not useful on Wikinews. I appreciate your efforts on this story, but this is not the best way to do so. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the DynamicPageList tip. But the page list would update after some time, and there's still need for readers interested in this particular event to keep a static list of related news. Categories like Category:2005-07-07_London_bombings or Category:30A_Protest serve this purpose. If making a new category isn't the best way to do this, where could I put this content? Pomin Wu 04:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I would suggest you create a project page. A project page is a page where all related stories are brought together, similar to 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. This page linked to the major stories and at one point included regular summaries of what information was known about the topic.


 * The development of long-term collections of information and analysis is not the purpose of Wikinews, however. Our archives of historic articles is easily searched via google and other search engines. We leave the in-depth articles and analysis to Wikipedia which is better equipped to maintain such articles. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:43, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll add a box in related articles suggesting readers want further information go to wikipedia. Hope this will work for now. Pomin Wu 05:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * We use quite a lote. We also go to wikipedia articles and link to wikinews using  too. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 05:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * This looks good. Thank you for the help. Pomin Wu 05:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

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 Pm5. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pm5~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 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
