hi jimmy, i asked on the facebook group wikipeda weekly if joe/ed could publish an upcoming blog post on wikinews. joe sutherland mentioned ".. I simply cannot get my head around its attitude to news coverage". which i find frightening. an editor for 10 years, tens of thousands contributions, thousands of pages created, degree in journalism, dissertation about news on wikipedia, administrator.[1]
jimmy, as wikinews refers an old mail of you from 2003 as the holy grail of NPOV, could you please clarify once and for all that your NPOV statemant you sent to wikien-l was valid for wikipedia. and not for wikisource, wikiquote, wikinews. best on the wikinews talk page concerning NPOV [2][4]. i understand of course that certain publishing standards might apply - but NPOV, and "sourced" in the sense of published somewhere else cannot be amongst them [3]. just as a note, i hate that the blog [5] opens 20 times slower than wikinews on my mobile phone, that it is not in different languages, that i do not have the "usual mediawiki features". i hate that signpost [7] cannot be read on mobiles because of formatting. i hate the glam newsletter [6] for the same reason, despite beeig again on a different wiki, no "read in different languages". which is the main reason i write this mail ... and asked joe why not using wikinews. and i hate that wikinews does not use mediawiki features to properly classify what quality an article has, e.g. "blog", "npov", etc. [1] https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Foxj&project=en.wikipedia.org [2] https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews_talk:Neutral_point_of_view#raphael_honigstein_and_outreach_blog_on_wikinews.3F [3] https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Pillars_of_Wikinews_writing [4] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-November/008096.html [5] blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/04/22/ted-wikimedia-collaboration/ [6] glam newletter: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter [7] signpost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost best, rupert _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
