I flew from Zanzibar to Nairobi with Fly540. In the end Ting Chen...

English · Norsk (bokmål). So it begins…. So it begins…. Okay, so I've started a blog. Hooray. I've never been to thrilled about this entire blog thing. It seems to me to be a waste of time, time that I could spend on doing more creative things. But I'll try it anyways, but won't exactly promise to be very active here. Perhaps blogs are a good way of keeping one's mind focused, and to get your views across? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

English · Norsk (bokmål). Getting journalist students to Wikinews. Getting journalist students to Wikinews. On Wikimedia projects, author credit is only given in the history tab. For most of the projects that makes perfect sense, because pages have lots and lots of different authors coming in at different times. However, for Wikinews. It does not have to be obtrusive; a mockup of what it could look like can be found here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

English · Norsk (bokmål). I must say that I admire Britannica editor Jorge Cauz' courage. In the same press release they both announce that they will start plagiarizing. That they are a lat better than Wikipedia (paraphrased). But if that was the case, why bump up the competition in the first case? It is obvious that they are afraid of us, and rightly so. Luckily the editor-in-chief of Store norske leksikon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

English · Norsk (bokmål). The goal of Wikinews. The goal of Wikinews. I’ve been thinking a bit about Wikinews lately, and about what it should aim for – what its goal should be. Mainstream news is just not what makes Wikinews great – news on the Beijing Olympics. And the upcoming US election. I can get elsewhere, more complete and more updated. Or the U2 fan who was ordered to destroy his CDs. I believe stories like those are the most important ones for Wikinews. Of course, Wikinews should not stop focus...
