I created a wikinews short today, which should be finished by today but since I have work today it would be helpful if anybody would like to expnd it. I would especially appreciate it if somebosy can go get me some references. The article is Wikinews shorts: November 18, 2014. ~~Casey talk with Casey November 18th, 2014, 11:56 AM (EST)

I was looking to create a category for this years situation between Ukraine and Russia, including the annexation of Crimea. Looking at the corresponding Wikipedia pages several names come to mind, but not sure if any really fit. Would be grateful for any input. Possibilities I’ve thought of so far:

Or should the public protests, Crimean annexation, and War in Donbass each be given separate categories linking to each other to give a sense of continuation? –CSJJ104 (talk) 12:25, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Further to my comments above, I’m looking to create ‘Category:Russia’s annexation of Crimea’. My reasoning is that such an article could be linked from Category:War in Donbass, giving readers a fuller history of events. I have identified the following articles from Category:Crimea which would be covered by this, all are archived, and thus needing an admin to edit them, can anyone help?

Not wishing to sound impatient, but would there be any objection to renaming Category:War in Donbass to Category:Donbass Insurgency? –CSJJ104 (talk) 13:13, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I am too chronically ill to do much over here, when I already can’t predict which en.WP edits that I start will be the ones I have to abandon. (If curious, see User:Geekdiva at en.WP for info on my limitations.)

But when working on the External links section of Scientology controversies, I saw that the Template:Wikinewshas/Scientology only had articles from 2012 and prior.

Google News shows there have been stories on Scientology since 2012. So:

Thanks for all your hard work over here and sorry I couldn’t figure this out on my own, though I did look. –Geekdiva (talk) 22:06, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
