Summary
Proposal
- Commentaries should be seen at the bottom of an article at first site.
Motivation
At the moment en:Wikinews has 3,239 Commentary pages. I don´t know how many more Wikinews versions do provide the opportunity to comment the news not the article.
The Commentary pages are linked to the articles, but you don´t see them if you just read the article. And for each comment a new section is started. If there are some comments already written, they are not easy to find.
Commenting news could be a first step into writing news and to increase the number of editors.
Key Questions
- How could Wikinews (...) be reworked to provide a compelling way for people to participate in the production and consumption of journalism on a large scale?
Potential Costs
