Thank you for attempting to contribute to Wikinews; however, we cannot accept submissions copied from another news site - that is a violation of their copyright.

Wikinews articles must be written in your own words. For that, it is recommended you read at least two sources covering a story, and write based on those sources. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:36, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I note you reverted my labelling this as a copyright violation. Please do not engage in plagiarism, one of my colleagues has now hidden the two revisions which contained a clear cut'n'paste from the CNN article, and reverted back to the article being labelled as a copyright violation. It must be written in your own words, not by copying those from another site. This is why we ask you read two independent sources and create your article without copying at all. --Brian McNeil / talk 00:35, 10 December 2011 (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 Willy2000. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Willy2000~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)
