Yup, I just checked by logging out - the URLs are working perfectly. No more funny renames required. Just need to get it changed from Wikinews, FL - I've asked for the FL bit to be dropped altogether but we may have to settle for it changing to CA.

Which is awesome, since now all articles should be listed on google news without us doing anything, which has been a goal of wikinews since long before i joined. (lets have a Yipee! for the devs and all wikinewsies who helped make this happen) http://news.google.ca/news?q=source:%22wikinews%22&ie=UTF-8&scoring… -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l

Moving along, I filled in a Yahoo! contact form again to see about getting listed in Yahoo! News. Interesting if you go to http://news.yahoo.com and search for Wikinews, you will see a load of our articles. Apparently, http://thailandnews.net has picked us up as a source for Thai news and lists links to our articles in their RSS feed. So, if Yahoo! runs off RSS, what's the address for our working feed? And - perhaps more importantly - how reliable is it?

Currently the top three articles on google news when you use wikinews as the source are linked using this method. However it hasn't seemed to add anymore articles after those first three. Hopefully it will continue to add them as articles are published. -bawolff On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 11:53 PM, Brian McNeil <brian.mcneil(a)wikinewsie.org> wrote: more to _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l
