I enjoyed reading this article and learning about Disappearance of Mario Segura. The information within the article was clear and professionally written regarding the important facts and issues concerning Segura. The information within the article was a great depiction of Mario Segura’s life and, in this case, afterlife. It was reassuring knowing the research that went behind this article and the information that was brought to light. SCNAGY —Preceding undated comment added 21:35, 15 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have added some more references that I have found into the reference area by using the templates tab. I have also used the Reflinks tool the way you described on the Blackboard Assignment. I have done this multiple times following your instructions word for word, or so I thought. Every time I open the Reflinks tool in a different tab on my browser, it doesn't seem to struggle and I'm not sure what to do afterwards. It does say at the bottom that there are no necessary changes. I worry that I'm missing an obvious step because there is never anything for me to copy and paste over into my article that is described in the assignment on Blackboard. --Lllauderda (talk) 12:04, 28 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

At this point, the page is looking good to start. Crtew (talk) 03:37, 3 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have added information that I have been able to find into the info box and have also written my notability statement. I tried to keep it short and simple like the examples you have on blackboard but I feel that I may go back and edit it depending on what else I may come across. As far as I know, I believe the two tasks that are due for Tuesday are completed though I still want to add an image of my journalist for the info box. I feel like I am finally getting the hang of this. --Lllauderda (talk) 04:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter

Sharing news about the group's activities
and things taking place on local Wikinews projects.

Key resources

The Wikinewsie Group News
Edition 3, September 1, 2013
Education and Research
  • On English Wikinews, there is work to make some educational videos to assist users in understanding how the review process works, and how to write an article using screencast. Videos created so far include: A review of an English Wikinews article to let people see how that looks. , A walk through of an article being written for English Wikinews to let people see how one person writes an article., A walk through of creating an article on English Wikinews with a Doctor Who related news story as an example.
  • A few of the provisional board members had intense discussions about the preferred research practices to inform key decision making in regards to developing the most effective programming with the goals of 1) working with educators to instill core journalistic values, 2) engage in quality original reporting that can be shared across projects, and 3) improve the diversity and quantity of the current contributor base to Wikinews projects. The ideal research often depends on context, but that in doing on project related work, action research is probably the ideal as it is an outcome improvement driven approach.
  • In further regards to research methodologies, three of the provisional board members read The art, science and mystery of nonprofit news assessment by the Investigative Reporting Workshop. This document discusses some of the challenges non-profit related journalism sites have in assessment as it pertains to their own reporting. A discussion was also held regarding the issue of information anonymization when it comes to any research being conducted by The Wikinewsie Group using on Wikinews publicly accessible information, content and data. Sources looked at and discussed included Researching the public web and Forum Guide to Data Ethics. There is a feeling by some of the provisional board members that the WMF, through the Grants programs and the Program Evaluation and Design group need to provide greater guidance regarding what sort of information collection and analysis is expected, what privacy guidelines will be expected, what will be publicly expected, what will be privately expected, if these match and how to handle any discrepancy between these guidelines. At the same time, documentation for the WMF as it pertains to outcomes needs to be clear as to the audience and objectives in conducting the research. These issues become vitally important as increasing contributor output research differs from research focused on providing an environment to encourage best practices for journalists, with a goal of bringing more educators to the project to assist in accomplishing this goal.
  • Brian Keegan talked about newswork on Wikipedia from a Wikipedia perspective (that ignores definitions of news) and failed to acknowledge the importance of original reporting and citizen driven journalism in his negative critique of Wikinews. At the same time, he failed to acknowledge the lack of investment by the Wikimedia Foundation in supporting Wikinews and other sister projects in strategically growing and supporting the Foundation's mission.
Technology
  • Given the issues with spying on government listening to communications, Scoop will be 'deprecated', and the recipients list trimmed back progressively have the membership list culled to make sure only reviewers and accredited reports have access to reporter notes for story verification. A new mailbox will be set up for incoming material that needs the attention of reviewers. [1]
  • On English Wikinews, a draft has been started at Wikinews:Visual Editor to let the Visual Editor team know some of the issues involved in working on bringing VE live to the project. This is vitally important to be done right and that VE works with the only main entrance point to writing new articles, because if done without considering the gateway, it would create massive technical problems that would like make it impossible for article review for publication to be completed.
  • On English Wikinews, efforts are underway to see about using DPL to sort images by date and to better highlight featured articles that appear in a category by calling them out seperately. This is likely to be a long term, wikignome type activity. [2]
  • A bug was fixed in wmtran, the translation helper tool, to correct URLs of preview wiki-links. Relevant contact information is now also available at the tool page header.
Reporting
  • On English Wikinews, there has been a substantial amount of original reporting done in the past 18 months that involved the uploading both local multimedia and multimedia to Commons. An effort is underway to categorize these images locally better highlight the original reporting of the multimedia including type. It will also provide easier access for reporter to file photos for re-use in other articles. The major category work was done on 2012 Summer Paralympics.
  • Following Jimmy Wales's speech at Wikimania, The Wikinewsie Group reached out to him via e-mail to see how we could work with to accomplish his stated aims in the context of our proposed organization. There are a number of shared goals, including making it possible for Wikinews contributors to do original reporting full time on the project. Susequently, he has been engaging in dialog with several English Wikinews reporter on his Wikinews talk page.
  • A survey has been created to better understand the existing original reporting costs associated with current Wikinews production. Reporters across all languages who have contributed to original reporting on any language Wikinews project reported on in our newsletter have been pinged on their talk pages asking them to complete the survey. Three different language projects have been notified of the survey on Facebook. The survey has also been linked to on Twitter. The goal of the survey is to be able to understand the value of original reporting, where money is currently being spent and by whom, and to have data that will better enable The Wikinewsie Group and project volunteer reporters to apply for grants related to conducting more original reporting. Survey results are currently being processed with a plan of having some research published for reference in the next newsletter.

Your request for help

I'm very sorry Sir that I will not be able to help you at the present time. This is due to the fact that I'm also a member of the military and I have service obligations that are preventing me from help at this point and time. I just wouldn't be able to give you the time that would be required. I'm so sorry.TucsonDavidU.S.A. 14:45, 7 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Regarding your WP:U1 request for deleting this page, wouldn't it make more sense to move it back to the userspace it was moved from? Singularity42 (talk) 23:23, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

The content for that article is now part of User:Crtew/Ivory_Coast_press_incidents_2010-2011!

For attribution reasons, that page cannot now be deleted. Multiple editors edited the source page. Therefore, the work of multiple editors was copied into the destination page, and attribution is required for legal reasons. The source's revision history has to be noted in the destination's revision history so that people know to check the source's revision history for attribution. Therefore, I cannot delete the source without losing attribution. Sorry. Singularity42 (talk) 23:42, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I'll merge the info into the past source article. Sorry for the confusion, but the article topic developed naturally out of a bio into a broader event. Crtew (talk) 23:53, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's understandable. You don't really have to do anything with the source draft article if you don't want. We just can't delete it. See User talk:Crtew/Marcel Legré. Singularity42 (talk) 23:54, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
But how would I clean up my pages so that i only have one page? For project management reasons, I would like to keep it as simple as possible and remove as much clutter as possible! Crtew (talk) 23:59, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Not sure what you mean by cluttering. No one needs to know. It's just an internal page. You don't have to have any links to it on your user page, etc. We just can't delete it at this time. Singularity42 (talk) 00:02, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ok, for my own sanity ;D, I've copied everything from User:Crtew/Ivory_Coast_press_incidents_2010-2011 into Marcel Legre! Now I've made a request to delete the Ivory Coast article, which I can do because I'm the only editor other than your move. I'm already dealing with 40 to 50 students and so I can't have very much clutter in my internal files. I don't mind carrying around the baggage (history of edits from all authors, mostly mine) from the Legre article as it belongs to the same topic. Later we can move it to where we want it and carry all the histories. Sorry for creating a hassle but I do appreciate your attention to detail. Crtew (talk) 00:08, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm so thoroughly confused that I don't know where give my student her assignment. Where can she edit the material? Crtew (talk) 00:28, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

What is the link that I give my student so that she can edit the page? I keep getting into a loop now. I don't understand how these pages are connected. But all I need is an editable page with the past histories contained in that article but with the new material. Crtew (talk) 00:38, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Done Okay, I have just finished fixing everything for you. User:Crtew/Ivory Coast press incidents 2010-2011 contains all the new material with all of the original attribution history preserved. Singularity42 (talk) 00:44, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Quick question

edit

After watching the tutorials and spending hours of guessing and clicking, I have finally figured out how to format citations (I think). I have successfully formatted one whole citation properly (I think). I was so proud of myself. It was the landmark that eased my frustration and gave me the strength to say to myself, " Kyle James Dischinger you magnificent being, you can do this." Unfortunately, within my success was a mistake. A mistake I am unsure how to fix. Among my hastened clicking I must have accidentally deleted the edit button next to the reference header. I know that this can't be permanent, and I'm sure its just a matter of clicking another button to retrieve it. I am sorry I have to ask such silly questions, but can you tell me how to get the edit button back?

Sincerely, Kyle Dischinger / kjdisching (talk) 23:33, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to refer you to User talk:LadyofShalott! Crtew (talk) 15:37, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ah, that was no big deal at all. What happened is that you accidentally had what should be the references header in the same line as something else - so the software no longer recognized it as being a section header. I've fixed it for you here. (Click the link, and you will see exactly what edit I made - this can be a good technique for learning how people do things on Wikipedia.)

The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter

Sharing news about the group's activities
and things taking place on local Wikinews projects.

Key resources

The Wikinewsie Group News
Edition 4, October 1, 2013
Aff-Comm
  • The Bylaws review by aff-comm started in early September.[3][4]
Wikimedia Foundation
Research
  • Wikinews original reporting value as a measure of news events was published. This is the first in a series of research pieces looking at the cost of original reporting done by Wikinews journalists.
  • The second piece of research about Wikinews reporting was published, Itemizing the cost of Wikinews reporting. It was not published on the research namespace on meta because it has little application for chapters and thematic organizations as a whole, except possibly in trying to determine how to evaluate budgets submitted by Wikinews reporters for the purposes of grant making.
Education
  • On English Wikinews, supporters of The Wikinewsie Group requested the installation of the Education Program extension. This will facilitate having university courses participate on the project and make it easier for TWG to work with other groups like the Wiki Education Foundation.[6][7] The extension was installed and as an example and way to engage new contributors,a course for new reporters was created. Feedback on the course or anyone interested in running a high school or university course on Wikinews is encouraged to get in touch with The Wikinewsie Group.
Original reporting
  • Media accreditation has been attained for the 2014 Winter Paralympics. Planning is underway to insure the success of the original reporting event[8] and build on the success of the 2012 Summer Paralympics.[9] Success at the 2014 Winter Paralympics will go a long way towards helping The Wikinewsie Group secure accreditation for the 2016 Summer Olympics. If any individuals, chapters or thematic organizations are interested in assisting us with this and integrating it into existing outreach efforts to people with disabilities, please get in touch Laura Hale.
Outreach
  • A discussion took place on IRC about how Wikinews's definitions of journalism are very much tied into the workflow for Wikinews. [10] Thus, for many Wikinewsies, it is difficult to discuss the concept of what journalism is in a project context without it being seen as a fundamental discussion on project workflow. When people come in from the outside and offer advice, they are often seen as fundamentally criticizing the project's workflow without having any conceptualization they are doing that while fundamentally acting in good faith. In working with outsiders who are offering assistance, there needs to be a better method of articulating that the two, definition or journalism and Wikinews workflow, are one and the same. This could theoretically assist in less hostility, and enabling greater shared understanding that will allow participants to talk with each other instead of past each other.
  • Wikimetrics may be useful for assisting people in measuring education program impact, GLAM related programming and other outreach endeavors. For projects with flagged revisions or where articles are deleted/userified if they do not get published, the only really useable current available metric is pages created. Any analysis using this tool should wait until all content has been delete/userified because of too many false positives that suggest content was published when it was not. Additional information can be found at Programs:Resources.
  • Several language Wikinews projects which tweet out links other than to their news archives have started tagging their articles with the local language word for Wikinews. This makes it easier to find their reporting content, and for others to retweet their content. The Wikinewsie Group Twitter account made this request to better promote the work being done by local projects.


Technical
  • Wikinewsie.org e-mail is being cleaned up. All e-mail boxes which are 100% full have been deleted. Users who have set their accounts to forward to "untrustworthy" sites have been cautioned against doing so or those rules have been modified and reset with random values by the server administrator for them. People are reminded they should not be forwarding their e-mails to Google or Yahoo accounts. A strong possibility exists that this implementation may have been overly zealous so if a user is experiencing difficulties, please get in touch.[11]
  • Three potential technical projects for Wikinews were listed on the possible projects for mentorship programs on Mediawiki. They include a request for a mobile reporting tool, a mobile Wikinews application, and a machine assisted translation tool. [12]
  • Server upgrades and fixes continue for the Wikinewsie server. Details available here.
  • The wmtran tool has a new interface translation, to German, thanks to Huon.
For reporters
  • Reporters are encouraged to get an orcid, which can be displayed on their userpage. (Example) This could be useful in improving chances of getting grants, getting recognition for your reporting and promoting your work.
  • The Wikinewsie Group is looking for New York City based Wikimedia contributors who would be interested in getting published on Wikinews with the goal of getting media accreditation to the United Nations.[13] Please get in touch with Laura Hale or pi zero if you would like more information.

Questions about citations

edit

Student,

Good question: What is an inline citation and how do I do it?

The good news is that you have been doing inline citations for years now since you've been writing research papers for school. You just probably never called it that!

Inline citations means that you cite sources within the text at the place where you have used information from specific references and you're backing the fact up. You do this all the time in academic papers. Styles, however, vary greatly. For example, MLA Handbook, the style most students have used, refers to inline citation as "parenthetical documentation" and uses the familiar looking "(Author Time)" structure to cite and point to the full citation in the reference section. Wikipedia is not so different in principle but it is visually a noticeable difference. What you see in Wikipedia is a number and that number points to the full citation in the reference section. There are more styles than these two and you'll probably learn about more as you take subject specific classes where a research paper in the field is required.

Wikipedia offers guidance about "inline ciations" here: Wikipedia:Inline_citations.

The Wikipedia tutorial that you took when you were editing your user page had a section on citations that you should review: Wikipedia:Training/For_students/Citing_sources. You can play the video, "Editing basics: Citing sources (part one)" there to see how its done.

If you want an example of an article that uses inline citation, see Murder of Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.

You will have to use inline citations throughout your college career. If you write a report at work in the future, your boss will want to see the citations. So it's best just to learn how to do it and know that you have to adapt to different styles.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ahmed Omaid Khpalwak.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Ahmed Omaid Khpalwak.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter

Sharing news about the group's activities
and things taking place on local Wikinews projects.

Key resources

The Wikinewsie Group News
Edition 5, November 8, 2013
Project news
  • The Wikinewsie Group/Local Wikinews policies is the start of a guide that explains local Wikinews project policies with the goal of making it easier to recognise credentials across project, build on accumulated reputation from one project to another and facilitate translation work.
  • Historical Czech Wikinews experiment is a blog entry by Okino that looks at the community impact of allowing writers to write Wikinews articles from a past perspective, IE writing a story about a historical battle as if you were a journalist writing that article the day after it happened. The purpose was to attempt to make Wikinews more collaborative in nature and avoid the time constraints of the immediacy of news reporting. Okino shows that while the reaction to the idea was positive, the true interest in writing the articles of this type was small as the vast majority of them were written by him.
  • A conversation is taking place on Wikinoticias about allowing CC-BY-NC images to be locally uploaded.[15]
  • A conversation is taking place on English Wikinews with a WMF staff member about the future of search and potential special search features for Wikinews projects.[16]
Training materials
A video for new reporters who lost their first article on English Wikinews
  • A one page guide and a screencast were created that explain how to avoid plagiarism on Wikinews. Available data suggests this is somewhat of an issue for new and student reporters on English Wikinews, with roughly 10 to 20% of all submitted articles having some sort of copyright issue.
  • Training materials were created to better support new reporters wanting to produce photo essays. They can be found at Photo Essays for Wikinews, Photojournalist worksheet, and Wikinews Photo Essay Formatting. Assistance is requested in translating these to other languages and localizing them to local project requirements. This would be very helpful ahead of the Sochi Paralympic Games, where there are expected to be a number of photo essays produced.
  • Given the difficulty of new reporters being unable to get their first article published on Wikinews, a video was created to encourage these writers to stick with it. It can be found at The first time writing for Wikinews good.ogv. It is somewhat tongue in cheek, and tries to address the emotional implications of a not ready review. The problem of getting new reporters who are unsuccessful at getting their article published has been identified as a major area for work. It has a large impact on reporter retention.
Of interest for journalists
Education
 
EduWiki 2013 presentation
  • Provisional Chairperson LauraHale is made a presentation at the EduWiki Conference 2013 in Cardiff, Wales about educational efforts on English Wikinews. Findings she included that changes in reviewing practices between semester 1 and semester 2 for one university course saw similar improvements for new reporters. What is good for students is good for the whole community.
  • With the Education Extension[17] installed successfully on English Wikinews, a portal was started at WN:EDU[18] to encourage and provide training for educators to use Wikinews in their coursework. This is something The Wikinewsie Group is hoping to expand upon in the future, and plans to try to get translated into other languages. Plans are also underway to create a student portal to provide training for students. Many things to Sage Ross for his assistance in setting up the educator portal.
GLAM
 
  • The major GLAM work being done by a Wikinewsie at the moment is a Wikimedian in Residency with the Comité Paralímpico Español. A report was created this month for CPE based on interviews done in August. It can be found here.
  • Paralympic work being done with the US Olympic Committee is progressing.
Original reporting - summary

Between May 1 and October 31, when The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter first began tracking original reporting taking place across all projects, 227 stories have been published by 78 reporters 14 different language Wikinews projects. The projects with the greatest number of reporters engaged in original reporting were English with 15, Russian with 14, Polish with 13 and French with 10. Beyond these, original there were one or more journalists engaging in original reporting on Catalan, Chinese, Esperanto, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish and Ukrainian. The peak month for reporting across all projects was May with 52 articles. It was followed by June with 49, August with 44, September with 43 and July with 39.

 

In the past four months, Spanish, Polish, French, Ukrainian, Russian and English have all produced over 20 total pieces of original reporting, with Russian Wikinews publishing 41 stories and English Wikinews publishing 60 stories.

LauraHale, RockerballAustralia, Antanana, Agamitsudo, Dmitry Rozhkov, Plogi, Krassotkin, Schekinov Alexey Victorovich, and MadriCR have each produced 5 or more pieces of original reporting in the past four months. Another group of users, Joan301009, Bddpaux, Computron, Laslovarga, Fed4ev and Yakudza, have produced four articles each.

For September, only three pieces of 43 original reports produced were translated from one language to another. They were Wikinews interviews specialists on China, Iran, Russia support for al-Assad, Wikinews interviews Dr Thomas Scotto and Dr Steve Hewitt about potential US military intervention in Syria, Atlético de Madrid defeats Real Madrid 1-0 in 2013 derby and Tokio gana la sede de los Juegos Olímpicos 2020. Original reporting is a major strength of Wikinews. It is one we should be playing to. The Wikinewsie Group would like to encourage everyone to assist translating Wikinews work into another language, or finding a local reporter to assist with translating a work from where it was originally published into that language. This will benefit all languages, promote more cooperation between projects, and expand news reach for our reporting which we can leverage to provide more opportunities for reporters.

The Wikinewsie Group News
Edition 6, December 2, 2013

If you know anyone interested in Wikinews, journalism on Wikimedia projects or The Wikinewsie Group, please encourage them to subscribe to the newsletter by adding their name to the list.

The Group
  • Aff-comm recommended to the Wikimedia Foundation Board that The Wikinewsie Group be recognised as a thematic organization in early November.[19]
Education
  • Wikinews Education Program blog post was published on Wikimedia's official blog.
  • Discussions were had on IRC and Skype about the possibility of installing the education extension on Ukrainian, Czech and Korean Wikinews. While these could be used to potentially re-invigorate the local communities and provide a cohort of new contributors, the limited contributor base at the moment makes it difficult to implement. Greater partnerships would need to be done with chapters to provide people to assist local projects in running any education initiative.
  • What is news? handout was created to supplement existing training materials as this is an area where new contributors sometimes have issues on English Wikinews.
  • Documenting your original sport reporting was created to supplement Wikinews Original Sport Reporting. Assistance is requested in translating these documents into Spanish and Ukrainian.
Outreach
  • LauraHale attended Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2013 in Slovakia representing The Wikinewsie Group. She had conversations with people from several chapters about the potential to do things with TWG including the Polish, Estonian, Serbian, Czech and Ukrainian chapters.
Original reporting projects
  • The paperwork was submitted at the end of the month to send five Wikinews reporters to the Sochi Paralympic Games.
  • Attempts were made to secure media accreditation for the Commonwealth Games. The application was unsuccessful.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Assassination of Vietnamese-American journalists in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arlington (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
