Rumor of world leading around
Hi. The particular article is missing a lot of features that a Wikinews article needs. You need to start with a newsworthy focus, then two or more mutually independent sources verifying the event. The article should be created using one of the article creation forms scattered about the site &mdash; there's one on the Howdy template, at the top of this user talk page &mdash; as these creation forms automatically provide basic formatting elements that are needed for all articles. The article should start with a lede, which briefly summarizes the focal news event by succinctly answering as many as reasonably possible of the basic questions about it, an then at least two more paragraphs. Everything has to be verified somewhere in the declared sources, except really obvious stuff like "Paris is in France."

You can get a feel for some really important aspects of Wikinews writing at WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing.

A very short set of instructions for writing an article is on the first page of the Howdy template, at the top of this user talk page. A more detailed set of instructions/explanation is our under-construction article wizard. And there's also a page WN:Writing an article. --Pi zero (talk) 15:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
