Do not self-publish
Do not put the publish tag on an article you have written. To do so is attempted self-publication. Self-publication is a serious violation of site policy, and we have measures in place so that it does not work: the article is not published.

On English Wikinews we have a rigorous review process. Use the develop tag on an article you're starting. When you think it's ready for review, use the button on that template to switch it to review. If an authorized reviewer is able to review it, and finds no serious problem they can't fix, they publish it; otherwise, they rate it not ready and explain why. (See WN:Article wizard.)

However, I don't believe we have any active reviewers who can read Chinese. So we can't review based on Chinese sources. Non-English sources are (even if understood) only acceptable under special circumstances, when no English sources are available. There are plenty of English sources available for that story.

Also, because most non-English Wikinews projects do not have review processes analogous to those here, we can't automatically accept their articles &mdash; we'd have to conduct, essentially, our own review. And doing so based on non-English sources would be a serious problem, for the reasons I've explained. --Pi zero (talk) 00:02, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
