I'm having a hard time finding a place to respond to other users that have commented on the article that I have tried to write. One was from a Russian article that was translated into English and it looked pretty bad. That was the one from the Siberian Times. People Magazine will have an article of Sofia tomorrow (Monday). If I'm not successful with this article I may have to pass it on to someone else that will like to do it. I'm not a writer, nor am I good at it. I can only fix the grammar of bad English that has been translated from other languages. So if I continue with this I will need a lot of help with this project.

About me and how I know Sofia, I met her off of Facebook and there are a number of groups mostly Moms trying to find whys to bring her back to where she belongs. Her Russian is not to good since she has been there for only 2 1/2 years. The only way for an anglophone to be able to learn Russian is to take a 5 year extensive course in Russian to speak the language fluently. This is not what Sofia is able to do. So the only option left is to come back home or secondly is to apply for a visa to live in an English speaking country.

I'm trying to get the article started for her, it's very rough, and I don't know how to smooth it out.

Thank you for your time, Lauire

I didn't mean to put a publish tag in the Bangkok article. I seem to have swept it up when I copied the categories from another article. Sorry. :( Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:36, 29 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ah. On the one hand, these things happen. On the other, this particular sort of goof is especially to be avoided. --Pi zero (talk) 13:17, 29 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Wikinewsie Group News

Edition 6, December 2, 2013

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.[1]

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.

Re this: What do you mean by "*transcluding pages* being in the category"? All this edit does is add any pages tagged with the Template:Temp template to the associated category, which I thought should be self-evident; it does not transclude any pages.
