Other Additions
Looks good. We should add how contributors can report a news item, and how administrators may handle it in terms of where, if any usage of it on the wiki, to avoid the issue we had with the season 4 rumor from Sackhoff and Olmos, too. --Spencerian 10:11, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
- Agreed. Feel free to add in your additions as you see fit. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 10:17, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
- Done. --Spencerian 11:48, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
"Credit"
"Otherwise, you are encouraged to submit the tip on your own, without mentioning the wiki or your association with it."
- Totally. Unless you're conducting "wiki-business" under the "wiki-name", feel free to leave us out of it. That's not to downplay the value/significance of running across a juicy tidbit of information, just that that's not part of our core mission. There's always plenty of work to do without having to put on Clark Kent glasses (or whatever it is that journalists do). --Steelviper 10:23, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
- I added a section that asks contributors to relay any bits through admins first. We as admins should be conditioned not to make a knee-jerk post, determining whether to relay it to a news partner, make a note on our news topics, both or neither. I expanded the section on submitting news tips, remembering the incident involving Merv and his messages on Sciffy with Mrs. Ron and the fallout there. --Spencerian 11:48, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
