 * (9:11:28 PM) peteforsyth: Also, here are the things that had me hung up and confused the most when I got started -- probably more general than just "wikipedia background", but I would say important in any intro doc:
 * (9:11:58 PM) peteforsyth: (1) what are the different kinds of CONTENT here (synthesis, OR, and interviews)
 * (9:12:20 PM) peteforsyth: (2) what are the different kinds of PRIVILEGES here (accreditation, editor/sighter, and admin)
 * (9:12:45 PM) peteforsyth: and closely related to (2): what are the things a non-privileged newbie is expected and/or allowed to do?


 * Just a note to anyone who is working on this, When this page is ready for prime time, we might want to link it from Editintro from wikipedia which is shown to users who edit something directly after coming from wikipedia. Bawolff ☺☻
 * Do it now, It is already on welcome -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 18:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

WP:PR in Wikipedia
In Wikipedia we also have peer reviews, but we can have one whenever we want to and not right after the creation. Kayau (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The peer review process on wikipedia is significantly different, with different goals then the one on wikinews. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Re-express Fair Use Sentence
editprotected Can someone please replace:
 * However, on Wikinews that would be unacceptable as they are technically a competing news agency.

with:
 * However, using these images on Wikinews is unacceptable, as Wikinews is a competing news agency.

It reads better first time around - the original version is difficult to read - I needed to go back and read a few times to understand what "they" was referring to. Thanks! Twilsonb (talk) 16:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. [[Image:Yes_check.svg|link=|alt=|16px]] Done --InfantGorilla (talk) 10:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
