Wikinews
Hi, Elijahandskip. I point out that Wikinews is a separate and very different project from Wikipedia (one of the veterans here used to tell Wikipedians arriving at Wikinews, "you're not in Kansas anymore"). It'd be appreciated if you didn't advertise "in the news" or Wikipedia-based barnstars on your Wikinews user page (but especially, please don't advertise ITN).

For a good compact overview of what Wikinews is about, I recommend reading page Pillars of writing. Then, if you're interested to try your hand here, there's a good tutorial on writing a first Wikinews article at Writing an article.

Cheers. --Pi zero (talk) 18:49, 21 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Bruh. I came to Wikinews to learn how it works.  First few minutes here, I get told not to 'Advertise' barnstars or ITN (In The News) awards I got on Wikipedia.  The editor who said that has barnstars listen on his page.  Legit wow.  Well my response to all that is this is MY userpage and I will put what I want on it.  I put the barnstars to make people not prejudice me as a 'newbie'. Apparently they make me an evil guy.  Just WOW!!! Elijahandskip (talk) 18:56, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Pi zero was awarded the barnstars on enwn, not enwp which are showcased on their userpage. It is best to keep the barnstars on the project you had received them, as the local reputation accumulated on a said project does not transfer to another project.  (And in all fairness, pi had said "it would be appreciated".)  There is no reason to think you were portrayed as the evil guy.  It was a humble request. •–•  19:04, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
