Template:Main Page/Headlines

About

• This particular feed is intended to showcase the best micronational journalism, reporting on major issues.
• General content should be added to Template:Main Page/Internet newsfeed.
• Original entertainment content should be added to MicroWiki:Media/Entertainment.
• Analytical content and opinion pieces should be added to MicroWiki:Media/Other.
• Eight headlines only - when adding new links, delete the one at the BOTTOM OF THE LIST.
• If an addition to this feed is considered unsuitable by an administrator (e.g. should it not be from an approved publication (see below) or if the event reported on is not considered headline-tier), it will be moved to the appropriate newsfeed.

When adding headlines

• A truly well-written article's first sentence or two should be good preview text.
• Finish all previews with ellipses ("..."), even if the preview already finishes at the end of a sentence.
• Do not include bylines, datelines, or similar pre-article matter (e.g. "MINSK —" or "John Citizen —") in previews.
• Do not add "BREAKING". It is totally unnecessary.
• Instead of using the hyphen character, please consider using the dash character (–).

APPROVED PUBLICATIONS

As of 23 April 2015, the administration has decided to put in place a policy to the effect that only approved publications may post news to the headlines newsfeed. We have in recent months seen numerous articles posted which were not of a quality deemed suitable for the headlines. The list of approved publications is below - if your publication is not on the list, then please do not add an article to this newsfeed, but to "Other news". Approved publications have been chosen for their acceptable standard of writing and journalism. ONLY AN ADMINISTRATOR may add (or subtract) from this list, but users are welcome to request that their publications be considered for inclusion.
