Pisanje vesti

Da bi napisali članak, prvo morate da naučite kako da izmenite stranice na Vikiju. Slobodno eksperimenišite po malo - veoma je teško uništiti Viki, a lako je da se popravi ukoliko nešto zabrljate. Verovatno će vam koristiti da držite ovu stranicu otvorenu u drugom prozoru ili tabu dok budete pisali svoj članak.

Osnovni koraci

Ovo su koraci kroz koji članak mora da prođe da bi bio objavljen. Međutim, jedan pisac ne mora da završi sve ove korake sam! Možete da uradite koliko god želite - a drugi će Vam pomoći.

Nađite vest

Možda već imate nešto na pameti, a ako nemate, pogledajte listu izvora za linkove do nekih proverenih medija. Možete i da probate da saznate šta se dešava u vašem mestu, lokalnim organizacijama, sa političarima, biznismenima, obrazovnim ustanovama, zabavljačima, itd. Svi oni često izdaju izjave za štampu i možda će biti voljni da pričaju s Vama.

Pogledajte Vikinovosti:Izveštavanje s lica mesta za uputstvo ako se odlučite da izveštavate s lica mesta. Trenutno se najviše članaka piše koristeći druge izvore s Interneta.

Da li je vaš članak vest?

Pogledajte Wikinews wants News articles u content guide da bi videli kakve članke ovde želimo.

Napravite članak

Prvo proverite glavnu stranu (najnovije vesti i vesti u razvoju) da bi se uverili da neko već nije pisao na istu temu.

Ako Vašu vest neko već nije objavio, dodajte naslov članka među vesti u razvoju. To će služiti drugima kao obaveštenje da radite na tom članku i moći će da Vam pomognu. Dodajte link ka Vašim vestima u formatu:

*28 decembar: [[Наслов чланка]]

Onda kliknite na Sačuvaj stranicu ispod teksta. Dalje, kliknite na crveni link da napišete sam članak.

Takođe pogledajte i novinarske alatke, set teksta koji možete dirketno da prekopirate da bi Vam ubrzao rad.

Stavite datum na vest

Obavezno stavite datum na vrh članka dodajući sledeći tekst:

ili

{{dateline|date=decembar 28, 2005|location=Insert YOUR location here}} - NB Only use this if you are doing original reporting and were present personally at the news event.

i onda započnite nov paragraf.

Ovo će automatski dodati članak u kategoriju za određeni dan.

Napišite članak u stilu "vesti"

Some degree of uniformity in writing style has, through common sense, tradition, evolution and research, developed in the majority of the English speaking news media. For tips on attaining an effective news style, see the Wikinews:Style guide.

For a number of reasons, content of stories should comply with the Wikinews:Content guide. Please refer to the guide to find out why.

More guidance on working responsibly as a journalist is in the Wikinews:Code of Ethics. Although this is wider in scope, some of it may be influence how new stories should be written.

List your sources

When you have finished writing your article, you need to list your sources, so others can check your work and help improve the story.

As all information is required to be referenced, anything you write that is not backed up by your sources may be removed!

The method to use appears below, all under a heading of ==Sources==:

Ravi Nessman "Barghouti to Run for Palestinian Leader". Guardian, 13 November, 2004

To format your text in the style demonstrated above, use this template:

*{{Извор|адреса=овде унесите адресу

|наслов=овде унесите наслов

|аутор=овде унесите име аутора

|пуб=овде унесите име публикације

|датум=28. decembar 2024.}}

To be clear, the fields are url, title, author, pub(lisher), and date.

It doesn't matter what order your references appear in. If your source is missing one or more of these fields, leave a blank space after the "=".

References vs Sources

Some people make a distinction between different types of sources, and use different headings for them. To learn about the differences between sources and references, as well as perhaps other types of source reference heading in use, see the style guide.

Add your article to the right categories

Every article needs to be listed under one or more categories, so it can be found once it has dropped off the Latest news pages. See the Main Page index to find out which categories are appropriate. Add them using this syntax: [[Категорија:<insert category name>]]. You can only add one category at a time - use a new [[Категорија: ... ]] for each category you want to add.

List your article for others to read!

Finally, you need to add a link to your story on the "today's articles" page. If you're happy with your finished article, then follow this link and remove your story from the developing stories template. If you think it needs more work, leave it there.

Optional steps

While you are working on a story

To avoid edit conflicts you might first want to insert the {{editing}} tag and then save your story. Remove the tag when you're finished.

Add images

You may wish to add images to your story. Even if none are available from the actual event, it can be helpful to the reader if you add a graphic of some sort, perhaps a map, or some icon representative of event features.

You may upload public domain images, and locate existing images to link to, at the Wikimedia Commons image library. If you can't find an image, you could check these sites.

Also try using Flickr — a reasonable percentage of images posted at this photo-sharing community site are licensed under Creative Commons "Attribution" (cc-by) and "Attribution-ShareAlike" (cc-by-sa) licenses which are compatible with the Wikimedia Commons. You can use the Flickr License Search utility to help you find properly-licensed images, or you can just leave messages on Flickr for people, asking them to relicense one or more photos for use on Wikinews.

Is your story about an on-going issue?

If so, you might find a suitable template to add to your story on Template:Issues. These will automatically put appropriate graphics on your story and place it in the right categories.
