One suggestion, maybe link "Wikipedia is > not a news site" to WP:NOTNEWS ? > Nit: If I start bitching about top-posting, please check I've taken my meds ;-) Unfortunately, [[WP:NOTNEWS]] is a link to a sub-section of a very long and somewhat complex project policy page. I'm reluctant to link to that, and instead chose to state "Wikipedia is not a news site." as a blunt fact. As you should see from another message, I originally BCC'd Jimmy Wales, and there was a very prompt response. I think I messed up passing the email through the list approval process - whitelisted the address, but discarded the message (Sorry Jimmy, won't happen again). Mike Peel of WMUK has already posted a "yes!" on my enWP talk page. So, were else do we have Wikinews snuck into Wikipedia? I remember there's something about porting links from DPLs over to Portals; can someone comment on the techie aspects of this? -- Brian McNeil <[email protected]> http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Brian_McNeil Content of this message in no way represents the opinions or official position of the Wikimedia Foundation or any of its projects.
