Hi. For a compact overview of what we do here, see Pillars of writing. Then, if you're interested to try your hand at writing here, there's an excellent tutorial on writing a first article here at Writing an article. Cheers! --Pi zero (talk) 17:03, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Difficulties with two pages
To explain a little: --Pi zero (talk) 19:22, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The first page,, afaict was the text from the source.  We don't republish articles from elsewhere.  The material is also copyrighted &mdash; almost all content of any kind on the web is under some sort of copyright or other, as that is the default under international law (i.e., the author doesn't have to say it's under copyright to make it so, rather they'd have to say it wasn't to keep it from being so).  There were also other stylistic difficulties; for example, we seek to report factually without expressing opinions, we ask for at least two mutually independent sources.  But most fundamental in this case is that we don't republish material from elsewhere (even if it weren't under copyright).
 * The second page was not in English; and the one link it contained was to a commercial web site (in English, as it happens). We only publish English-language articles here.  As for the link: perhaps the nocrime.in site uses advertising sponsorship to fund itself; that's as may be; but Wikinews does not allow advertising.
