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?

Really be cool to get it changed to Wikinews, World. 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.

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.

Just wanted to mention that mediawiki seems to have been updated, so
now dpls play nice with google news!
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)
