For the next The Wikinewsie Group newsletter, we want to have a few essays on why people contribute to Wikinews (in any language) or why you love the project or why you support the project. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Newsletter/2 is where you should link your essay.  It is a nice way of understanding why people contribute and participate.

I encourage everyone to encourage others to participate.  If you can post to water coolers on Wikinews in non-English projects in the projects own language to ask people to assist us by writing an essay, that would be appreciated.  Non-English language essays are highly encouraged. :)

Sincerely,

Laura Hale
