Flott greinaskrif hjá þér almennt, gætir hinsvegar feitletrað titla, bætt við tengil á ensku wikipedia (þeir koma ekki þegar þú afritar tenglana af ensku, þar sem enskan tengir ekki í sig sjálf.) eins og ég gerði hér, og einnig að bæta við tengil í íslenskuna á ensku greinni. --  Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason   10:39, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Já takk fyrir að minna mig á þetta. Takk fyrir hrósið. - Svavar L 10:44, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[[:meta:The Wikinewsie Group/Newsletter/1|The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter]] - Edition 1, June 1, 2013

Since mid-April, supporters of The Wikinewsie Group have been quite active, doing a number of activities in support of the organization.  These include selecting a provisional board, engaging in research projects, working to support original reporting, discussing setting up off-line events, and promoting our efforts and the broader work being done by Wikinews reporters.
* On May 4, a meeting was held to select the provisional board. It was decided that the board would be composed of the following people:  LauraHale (Chair), Pi zero, Brian McNeil, Bjarki, ProtoplasmaKid. The total number of people and roles was based on the draft bylaws. 18 people, a little under half of all people who were listed as supporters, attended the meeting. aff-comm has been advised of this, and that we are ready to discuss the group's bylaws with them.  They have responded back to indicate their review will start shortly.
* Tentative steps are being taken to have a Wikimedia conference in Iceland with a Wikinews workshop as a component of it. This would likely be in December to coincide with the 10th birthday of Icelandic Wikipedia.  Having some discussions about the possibility of having a small Wikinews conference somewhere in Europe sometime in the next year.
* Wikinews:GLAM was created after writing about previous experiences with GLAM projects on English Wikinews and content related to GLAMs across all projects.  Hopefully, with groundwork underway, there should be two announcements about Wikinews and GLAM projects by the end of June that will build upon previous success.
* It does not look like there is a single presentation about Wikinews at Wikimania in Hong Kong has been approved. Given that, plans are to have some sort of Wikinews meetup while there independent of the official tracks.
* Efforts are underway to do a better job at translating articles from one language to another, and successfully guide them through any local review processes. This is not a one way street of material from English Wikinews to other languages: We have successfully had two articles start on Spanish Wikinews that were translated to English Wikinews, where they passed the local review process and were successfully published.  Comments on this effort are welcome at The Wikinewsie Group/Project planning and User talk:LauraHale: WORTNET.
* Efforts are underway to develop a matrix to understand key policy, community and content requirement differences between different Wikinews projects.  Once complete, this should ease cross Wikinews collaboration by having a starting point to discuss content related issues when translating for review, and trying to standardize any policies across projects.
* Four pieces of research have been completed.  They include Blocks on English Wikinews, Wikinews:GLAM/Coverage,  Research:Wikinews Review Analysis and English Wikinews and the Gender Gap.  If you are doing any research, formally or informally, about any language Wikinews project, please share it with The Wikinewsie Group as it will help better inform our decisions.
* The development of a reviewing tool for English Wikinews continues.  There are some concerns that the future roll out of Lua may hinder this.  Once complete, this tool should make it easier for reviewers to leave feedback and check articles against all criteria.
* Migration of the wikinewsie.org server to Iceland should be complete by the end of June.  Once funding is secure, one of the first upgrades to the server will be to create a secure server and a dedicated host in order to encourage more investigative reporting and reporting of embargoed news stories.  The server could also be used for development of bots, and mobile reporting tools. The planning is being done to give The Wikinewsie Group cloud space to host reporting notes, video and audio to support journalism efforts.
*  Icelandic Wikinews and Malayalam Wikinews are both hosted on incubator.  The Icelandic Wikimedia mailing list and Indian editors have been contacted to encourage local editors to get the projects viable to move to the main space.
* On social media, a few The Wikinewsie Group supporters are answering questions about Wikinews on quora.  This is part of an effort to expand awareness about the Wikinews in general.
* Follow @wikinewsie, The Wikinewsie Group on Twitter.  Please tweet us any original reporting you are aware of on any project so we can tweet about it.

This list is May 1 to May 15.

Blessaður
Ég er nýr hér á Wikipediu en skrifaði nýverið um einstakling. Stuttu eftir það fékk ég bæði hreingerningarviðvörun og um að beiðni hefði komið um að eyða síðunni vegna þess að ég hafði engar heimildir. Ég er einstaklingurinn sem ég skrifaði um en ekki eru til heimildir fyrir öllu því sem ég skrifaði en þó einhverjar. Ég fór að fikta mig áfram hvernig ætti að setja heimildir inn en fann ekkert út úr því þangað til mér tókst að setja link af heimasíðunni minni inn sem heimild (eða ætlaði að nota hana sem heimild). Þegar hún var komin inn var ég kominn með heimild fyrir einhverju af því sem ég sagði og því eyddi ég út viðvörununum (en þá hafði mér tekist það einu sinni áður að taka þær út). Nú er búið að loka á mig (kannski alla, ég skil þetta ekki alveg) til þess að breyta þessari síðu. Hvað á ég að gera?
Með bestu kveðju,
Einar

Sæll, ég leyfi mér að blanda mér í umræðuna af því að ég færði greinina (og fjarlægði um leið hreingerningar- og eyðingarsniðin). Þú segir að þú sért sá sem skrifað er um. Þar með ættirðu að hætta öllum afskiptum af greininni og láta aðra alfarið um að skrifa/breyta/eyða o.s.frv. Staðreyndin er sú að það er nánast ómögulegt að vera óhlutdrægur um sjálfan sig og þess vegna eru greinar um mann sjálfan — svonefndar hégómagreinar — taldar afar óæskilegar. Í öðru lagi nægir ekki að þú sem skrifar vitir heilmargt um viðfangsefnið (hvort sem viðfangsefnið er þú sjálfur eða eitthvað annað) af því að það þurfa að vera til heimildir aðgengilegar öðrum notendum svo hægt sé að fletta í þeim og sannreyna að það sem fram kemur sé satt. Þetta er ófrávíkjanleg krafa á Wikipediu (sjá Wikipedia:Sannreynanleikareglan og Wikipedia:Engar frumrannsóknir). Ég færði greinina á notandi:Einareinstaki og þér er að sjálfsögðu frjálst að skrifa um sjálfan þig á notandasíðu þinni. --Cessator (spjall) 3. júlí 2013 kl. 11:23 (UTC)

: Ég er ekki eins strangur á hégómagreinum (sem ég ætti mögulega að vera) og merkti hana til hreingerningar svo einhver í framtíðinni gæti notað efni hennar til þess að gera fína grein í framtíðinni. Það gerði ég af þeirri ástæðu að ég sá ekkert sem var sérstaklega hégómagjarnt og ég taldi að hún uppfyllti regluna um markverði, enda er búið að fjalla um þig í fjölmiðlum og þú hefur gert markverða hluti. Síðan kom eyðingartillaga frá öðrum notanda sem nefndi skort á heimildum og efaðist um markverði greinarinnar.

: Þegar eyðingartillagan kom fyrst fórstu rétt að með því að rita á spjallsíðuna mótmæli þín. En síðan fórstu þá leið að eyða tillögunni og jafnframt mótmælunum þínum þannig að leit út eins og þú værir að hylma yfir að slík tillaga hefði nokkurn tímann borist, sem þú áttir alls ekki að gera. Eftir að hafa séð þrjár tilraunir af þinni hálfu til að fjarlægja merkingarnar ákvað ég að vernda greinina, sbr. viðmiðið um þrjár breytingar.

: Við viljum mörg hafa grein um okkur á íslenska Wikipedia, þar á meðal ég, en einnig þurfum við að hafa í heiðri hlutleysisregluna eins og Cessator minntist á. Því er það ekki við hæfi að ég, þú eða aðrir notendur fari að skrifa um sjálfa sig í almenna greinarrýminu. Hins vegar er í fínasta lagi að rita um sjálfan sig á notendarýminu, sbr. tillögu Cessator.

: -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 3. júlí 2013 kl. 13:13 (UTC)

Hæ,tek eftir að þú ferð í gegnum greinar hjá mér og bætir við rauðum tenglum. Fínt en það er allt of margt sem þú gerir af tenglum. Það er vinnureglan að það á að gera tengla við það sem verður eða er líklegt að verði grein á wikipedia. Sumt er þess eðlis sem þú hefur sett í tengla hjá mér að það er ekki líklegt að það verði nokkurn tíma grein. Sumt er ekki einu sinni grein á ensku wikipedia.Það gerir grein ólæsilegri ef þar er mikið af slíku sem aldrei verður skrifað  --Salvor (spjall) 4. júlí 2013 kl. 15:51 (UTC)

Takk fyrir þá ábendingu. Datt í hug að fólk myndi í kjölfarið sjá að þar sé grein sem vantar og myndi vonandi bæta úr því. Auk þess sem það býr til eftirspurn eftir greininni, sem gæti birst á kerfissíðunni ‚eftirsóttar síður‘ (þegar/ef hún verður loksins uppfærð) eða með tólum þriðju aðila. En skal samt reyna að takmarka tenglaviðbætur mínar í nánustu framtíð með tilliti til ásjón greinanna. -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 4. júlí 2013 kl. 16:00 (UTC)

Hi! Where do I put article requests? I found :en:Icelandic Airlines Flight 001 does not yet have an article in Icelandic, and I want to know how to alert editors that it should have an article in Icelandic?
Thanks
WhisperToMe (spjall) 9. júlí 2013 kl. 17:21 (UTC)

Hi! You can put forth any article requests on Wikipedia:Beiðnir um greinar. Also note that the article request page is very inactive so there's no guarantee that any articles you'll put on the list will be written any time soon. Some of these items have been on the list for many years. The best method currently available is to use the Village Pump but you've already done that. -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 9. júlí 2013 kl. 17:36 (UTC)

:Thank you! I put it in the article request list. Alternatively, do you know editors who edit about aviation topics? All I need is a small stub. WhisperToMe (spjall) 10. júlí 2013 kl. 00:10 (UTC)

::Can't say that I know any but I don't think you need to target such an editor to make a small generic stub. Any editor would do. -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 10. júlí 2013 kl. 01:12 (UTC)

:::In that case, are you interested in starting this stub? It's fine as long as someone starts a stub :) WhisperToMe (spjall) 10. júlí 2013 kl. 01:52 (UTC)

::::Done. -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 10. júlí 2013 kl. 14:38 (UTC)

:::::Thank you :) WhisperToMe (spjall) 10. júlí 2013 kl. 22:20 (UTC)

Texti sem þú skrifaðir um "Fósturbarn" er rangur og gefur villandi upplýsingar. Fósturbarn er ekki það sama og kjörbarn. Fósturbörn eru ekki ættleidd nema í undantekningartilfellum. Vinsamlegast leiðréttu þetta. Textinn sem þú skrifaðir á við um Kjörbörn, ekki fósturbörn.

Fyrir utan smá lagfæringar er það eina sem ég gerði að snúa aftur breytingum. Málið er að greinar á Wikipediu eiga að vera alþjóðavæddar nema hjá því verði alls ekki komist og því var vísun í íslensku barnaverndarlögin alls ekki fullnægjandi. Þar sem ég vissi ekki muninn á fósturbarni og kjörbarni og hélt að þetta væri hið sama, þá áleit ég þetta vera upplýsingatap og tók því breytingarnar þínar út. Til að leiðrétta þetta færði ég greinina yfir á kjörbarn og því er fósturbarn laust. Gætir þú ritað stuttan bút þar sem fjallað er um hugtakið fósturbarn? -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 4. ágúst 2013 kl. 18:22 (UTC)

; The Wikinewsie Group News
There is less to report, as the group spent time focusing on behind-the-scenes aspects of obtaining thematic organization recognition.
; Aff-Comm application status updates
* The Wikinewsie Group answered several questions from the Affiliations Committee at Talk:The Wikinewsie Group/Bylaws.
; Education and GLAM
* Members are working to create educational materials to use at training workshops in English and Spanish.   Current print training materials include a one page guide to original sport reporting on English English Wikinews, a one page guide to conducting multilingual interviews, a guide to getting photo essays published and a guide to writing for English Wikinews.
* The University of Wollongong class participation on English Wikinews wound up as the semester ended, and a new class has started with the new semester.  The instructor has created a presentation about the class on Wikinews that can be found at StudentsInWikinews.
* A member of The Wikinewsie Group met with a GLAM partner about the value of English Wikinews and Wikinoticias for freely sharing knowledge about culture.
; Technical updates
* Pi zero has moved to a new phase in the development of an improved reviewing tool for English Wikinews.
* Gryllida is working on the development of a tool to make translating material from one project to another easier. The new beta wmtrans translation tool here, which you can use to translate Wikipedia and Wikinews articles from one language to another. Its difference from the Meta translation tools is include the the ability to translate an article as a whole, per-paragraph, and add new paragraphs if desired; a dictionary box for you to look up geographical names without loading entire Wikipedia pages; and whole-page translation philosophy instead of translating by parts. The tool also features a multilingual interface; you can add new sections to data.ini to add your own. You are encouraged to send them, and bug reports, to Gryllida.
* Discussions have been going on behind the scenes about the potential for The Wikinewsie Group to support the technical aspects for Wikinews project development following suggestions on Wikimedia-l that this would be a place chapters could demonstrate leadership potential and work with the Foundation.  There are currently a number of developers active in the Wikinews community.
; Research
* Given feedback by a member of the Wikimedia Foundation Board (Samuel Klien) that the English language project should consider content import from other free news sources as a way of increasing community participation, content output and traffic, research was done inside the community using another language project as a baseline to determine the potential impact in terms of achieving those goals.  A copy of this research can be found at Research:Wikinews Content Import Analysis.  In a nutshell, the findings are: content import did not result in increased community output or increased community size.  Content import also resulted in fewer page views per published article.  Content import was not successful at achieving a positive community or traffic related impact.
* A tiny piece of research done examining relative article popularity by year on English Wikinews can found at Article rank and article date. More in-depth research along these lines may produce interesting results.
; Across the languages
* Over on Italian Wikinews on July 25, they hit 30,000 total pages.
* English Wikinews completed elections for their Arbitration Committee. Brian McNeil, Pi zero, Mikemoral, LauraHale, RockerballAustralia, and William S. Saturn were elected to the one year position.
; Content work
* Laura Hale wrote a report : A report on the coverage of Spanish athletes at the 2013 IPC Athletic World Championship.  The chance to interview athletes came about because of successfully covering the IPC Alpine Skiing World Championship earlier in the year.
* Brian McNeil — currently at the Edinburgh Fringe — is sharing a variety of video clips via English Wikinews' Facebook page. Copyright restrictions prevent most of these  media files being uploaded to Commons; fair-use on Wikinews itself requires legal advice beforehand.

Clips:

* Georgina Gordon at The Pear Tree

* Georgina Gordon at The Pear Tree

* Roy Henderson at The Pear Tree

* Roy Henderson at The Pear Tree

* Australian street artist, playing with fire, in Edinburgh's Grassmarket (Could go on Commons — if not for the fact that the 720p theora version of the clip exceeds the upload limit by 50%).
; Other news
* Two members of the The Wikinewsie Group provisional board attend the IRC meeting on July 26 for the Program Evaluation and Design as the board begins to think about and conducts its own evaluation of efforts to increase content and increase community participation. They observed the August 1 metrics meeting.

; 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.
* 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.
* 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.

; The Wikinewsie Group News : Edition 4, October  1, 2013
; Aff-Comm
* The Bylaws review by aff-comm started in early September.
; Wikimedia Foundation
* There has been some talk about reviving the Sister Projects Committee.  Wikinewsies are encouraged to become involved.
; 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.  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 and build on the success of the 2012 Summer Paralympics.  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.  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.
* 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.
* 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.  Please get in touch with Laura Hale or pi zero if you would like more information.

All original reporting done across Wikinews between September 1 and October 1, 2013.  If this list is incomplete, please report that to Gryllida.  Thank you to all Wikinews reporters and translators who have done original reporting.  Please continue your good work.

; 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.
* 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.
; Training materials
* 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
* Copyright's Role in a Free Press is an article by  Terry Hart of the copyright alliance on the issue of funding important investigative journalism.
; Education
* 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 installed successfully on English Wikinews, a portal was started at WN:EDU 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.

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.
; 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.

The Wikinewsie Group News : Edition 6, December 2, 2013

Dear Svavar Kjarrval,
My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help.
I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.
As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.
Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.
The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.
Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.
In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.
Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.
Thank you for your time.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

Spjall:Beinagrind mannsins

Tillaga mín er að fyrirsögn verði Beinagrind manns. --Moi 13:45, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Styð það, Beinagrind manna eða manns. Altént þá særir núverandi nafn greinarinnar í mér augun. --Biekko 13:48, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Ég sé að það er búið að fjarlægja þá fullyrðingu að hnéskeljarnar séu stærstu sesambein líkamans en skv. mínum heimildum eru þær það. Moi, hvaðan hefurðu þetta?
