:: Articles aren't just "posted" on ''Wikinews''.  When you first create an article, there should be a template {{tl|develop}} at the top.  From then on, there will always be at least one template on the article saying where it is in our news production process.

:: Writers compose an article, then submit it for review; and if review finds it not-ready for publication, writers may revise and resubmit.  Reviewers rigorously check the article; provide feedback to help writers both forwith the current article and forwith future articles; and, ultimately, judge whether the article as-yet meets all project criteria for publication.  Reviewers cannot make large changes to an article without disqualifying themselves from independent review.  Some articles never achieve publication, while others are published with high quality after multiple non-ready reviews.
