Opinions are being blogged everywhere and people come to Wikinews for news, not opinion. TalkHard 06:32, (UTC) Reply I think that would be a good dea for the diffrent tabs, because it would be nice to be able to post comments that are not dealing with how the article is written but just comments on the content itself.- Ryan524 14:49, (UTC) I don't see how it would add anything to Wikinews. In fact, with lots of blogs ( Slashdot for example), many people only read and post opinions about an article without reading the article itelf (just the summary) - this shows how popular this feature is. You cannot contribute your opinions about an article as a reader. Currently you can only contibute as an editor. TalkHard 06:32, (UTC) Reply What I'm suggesting is not at all a blog, although most blogs do have this feature (with good reason).

I'm talking about comments and opinions and discussion on the finished article. DouglasGreen 03:34, (UTC) Reply The discussion page is for editors working out the article, and is not of much interest once the article is complete. We are unlike other news organizations in that users can already comment all they want to, in fact they can help shape the articles. It often represents an evolving opinion and argument, whereas the article represents a finished product.

The discussion pages would not work for this because they are on a separate page, and are used for other discussion. ![]() I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but one thing that is sorely missing from Wikinews is the ability to post comments and opinions on the stories. 30.1 News briefs, articles, and shows should be scripted.25 Wikinews Original Reporting Translation Network.24 If "Truth is always the first victim of war" aren't the statements by either side always POV (pov of the side giving the statement/report) ?.20 Batten Awards for Innovations in Journalism.19 Suggested "Review for publication" process.
