Hi there, and thanks for having a go at contributing to Wikinews.

Unfortunately, the article you've written is about something reported upon by the mainstream over a week ago. Wikinews has a freshness concept &mdash; summed up as "Facts don't cease to be facts, but news ceases to be news" &mdash; and, this means without a reasonably significant new development, it wouldn't get published. If such a development does crop up, and the article is worked over to meet the project's style guide requirements, one of the reviewers would certainly be happy to try and get it through peer-review and published.

You might be able to get the challenge documented on Wikipedia, although that's a different set of 'rules for notability' to deal with.

In any case, enjoy &lt;insert-whatever-excuse-you-label-partying-at-this-time-of-year-with&gt;. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:29, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi!!


 * Thanks so much, Im not sure if this is the right way to reply, but in response to your concern there are new developments every day! I personally have seen it growing faster & faster and new celebrities joining in that werent covered in the interviews or Fox News. Example being that Gene Simmons from Kiss just publically did the challenge & was followed by Jenny McCarthy, Donnie Wahlberg, Dascha Polanco from Orange is the New Black, and Kristin Taekman & Aviva Drescher from Real Housewives of New York. There's definitely been more I haven't seen, so it's a rising news story that keeps growing & I'm really excited to see it continually grow and change :)


 * Hi. I've put another cleanup tag on the top of the article, in which I've tried to explain some about the difference between an encyclopdic article and a news article.  At the top of this user page, there's a Howdy template, which starts out with simple step-by-step procedure for writing a first Wikinews article.  Then there's lots of additional useful information and links to other pages.  You may find WN:PILLARS useful as an overview of how the project works.  There's also a never-completed draft, but still perhaps useful, "article wizard". --Pi zero (talk) 03:54, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You're also blatantly untrustworthy, Xineo. You've lied to Commons about being the photographer on all of the photos - even the self-shot portraits. BRS  (Talk)   (Contribs) 09:12, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
