Викиновости:Чем не являются Викиновости

Викиновости — это онлайновый новостной источник и как средство достижения этого также онлайн-сообщество. Поэтому есть определённые вещи, которыми Викиновости не являются.

Чем не являются Викиновости

1. Викиновости не бумага. Thus, Wikinews has no size limits, can include links, can be more timely, etc. It also means that the style and length of writing appropriate for paper may not be appropriate here.
2. Викиновости не трибуна, чат или дискуссионный форум. However we do allow some polite discussion of the topic of the news articles on opinion pages
3. Викиновости не являются «зеркалом», хранилищем ссылок, изображений или медиафайлов. All content added to Wikinews may be edited mercilessly to be included on the site. By submitting any content, you agree to release it into CC-BY 2.5 (however, Wikinews does incorporate many images and some text which is licensed under a more restrictive license into its public domain and CC-BY articles).
4. Викиновости не бесплатный викихостинг или провайдер webspace. You may not host your own website or blog at Wikinews. If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on anything other than writing journalistic news articles, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites (such as SeedWiki or Riters.com) that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can even install wiki software on your server.
5. Викиновости не театр военных действий. Every user is expected to interact with others civilly, calmly, and in a spirit of cooperation. Do not insult, harass or intimidate those with whom you have a disagreement. Rather, approach the matter in an intelligent manner, and engage in polite discussion. Do not create or edit articles just to prove a point. Do not make legal or other threats against Wikinews, Wikinewshounds, or the Wikimedia Foundation. Threats are not tolerated and may result in a ban.
6. Викиновости не энциклопедия; that is, it is not an in-depth collection of non-newsworthy information. Just because something is a true fact doesn’t mean it is suitable for inclusion here. Try Wikipedia instead.
7. Викиновости не подвергаются цензуре для 'защиты несовершеннолетних' (content-rated). First, anyone can edit an article and the results are displayed instantaneously, so we cannot guarantee that a child will see or read nothing objectionable. Second, Wikinews has no organized system for the removal of material that might be thought likely to harm minors. However, articles can be, and are, censored by consensus.
8. Викиновости не свалка для неудавшихся статей Википедии. Just because it got deleted from Wikipedia doesn’t mean it’s likely to be better received here, especially if the original article was not neutrally written, had no sources, and had nothing to do with current affairs.
9. Викиновости не ВикиНовости.

Чем не являются статьи Викиновостей

When you wonder what should or should not be in an article named «whatever», ask yourself what a reader would expect under «whatever» from a trusted news provider. There is consensus that Wikinews articles are not:

1. Статьи Викиновостей не пресс-релизы. There are a variety of press release aggregators online who provide this service; check the Reference desk (or try News sources on wikipedia) for links to some of them. Wikinews articles address the 5 Ws and H where possible, and attempt to present newsworthy articles which are balanced and have multiple sources, which press releases by definition do not.
2. Статьи Викиновостей не источник документов. Our sister project Wikisource is a repository for static documents; articles on Wikinews can and should be edited ruthlessly which would be inappropriate treatment for a source document. Also, many news-related source documents are copyrighted — verbatim copying of a source document could not reasonably be considered «fair use».
3. Статьи Викиновостей не реклама. Especially, they are not political advertisements. Excluding opinion columns, which are curently not allowed, an exclusively one-sided article, either pro- or con- the subject of the article, is a form of advertisement.
4. Статьи Викиновостей не научные работы or critiques of same. Articles might review or synopsize science, but must be written to be read by a wider, lay audience than that of a science journal — use of jargon must be limited and qualified.
5. Статьи Викиновостей не энциклопедические статьи. Each article relates a specific event in time and all further edits should be to provide more information on that specific event in time or correct mistakes in the article. If the information is on a breaking news story it should most likely be included in the article for that story, however if it is a breaking development in even a day-old story, it most likely belongs in a new article. For instance, criminal cases often last months or even years, but events in the case should not be included in one article but articles on each separate event as it happens.
6. Wikinews articles are not editorials. Articles should restrict themselves to reporting news and not commenting on the news or newsmakers.

Possible measures in response to violations of these rules

• Changing the content of an article (normal editing)
• Changing the page into a redirect, preserving the page history
• Deleting the page altogether if it meets grounds for such action after discussion on the Wikinews:Deletion requests page.
• Changing the rules on this page (of course only when a consensus has been reached following appropriate discussion with other Wikinewsies)
