Mobile editing
Hello,

It is difficult to edit from mobile, particularly as the mobile frontend is confusing. It may be recommended (by me personally) to visit Special:Preferences and switch the skin to Timeless as it is more informative than the mobile frontend used by default.

I would also recommend using a laptop or a desktop to get started with Wikinews. The documentation is easier to read on a large screen.

The links in the welcome template above may be worth checking to get started.

Re: wording
Thanks for adjusting the wording based on the feedback on the article talk page.

There is one more thought from reviewer that is important. Like stated before this does not have any news that is 2-3 days old at maximum. This edit does not address this review concern. It is important so I will say it again:


 * Like stated before this does not have any news that is 2-3 days old at maximum. This edit does not address this review concern.

Please do not re-submit until this is addressed. Newsworthiness has more detail on this area.

If you re-submit without addressing the review concerns, reviewers will need to spend time reading the changes. Reviewer time is valuable and is the key resource at this site. Reviewers are volunteers and their efficient work is key to publishing stories on time. Please understand this and ONLY re-submit when the review concerns have been addressed.

Thank you.

Holdeman Mennonite general conference
Yes, you are right. A legitimate article could be written about the conference, if there are legitimate and reliable sources reporting on it. The self-published agenda and the Wikipedia page on the group do not suffice. I have deleted the article as it was, but feel free to create a new one when you find sources. I suggest waiting for the conference to actually happen. You might want to read our pillars of writing before you get started. Cheers, SVTCobra 23:42, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I think I have a link to the agenda hosted on the church's website. Would that be more credible than the pdf hosted elsewhere? I uploaded the schedule doc to a pdf host because I think it is likely they will take down the file if this goes public. Userdk (talk) 23:52, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Here are the resources you listed (so you don't lose the links). However, they don't look like acceptable sources except the meeting announcement which can be included as a press release and Bible Doctrine and Practice (assuming it is necessary and relevant; needs to be properly reference though, a link to a scanned page will not be enough). Good luck, --SVTCobra 23:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
