<br />
This set of pages lists any press coverage of Wikipedia that covers or discusses Wikipedia as a project &ndash; that is, any aspect of Wikipedia overall, such as its structure, success, information, goals, history &ndash; or views on Wikipedia in general, and so on. <br />
<br />
Press sources that reference content of a particular Wikipedia article but do not discuss the project itself should instead be [[WP:Talk page layout|noted on the talk page]] of the referenced Wikipedia article in question using the {{tl|Press}} template. [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia in blogs]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia on TV and radio]] are also kept seperately. <br />
<br />
Awards and other press coverage from articles that enhance the reputation of Wikipedia should be included in the '''[[m:Trophy shelf|trophy shelf]]'''.<br />
<br />
If there are factual errors in a news article, please post the matter to the talk page of Wikimedia's [[m:talk:Communications_committee|Communications Committee]]. This way, the Wikimedia Foundation can send an official letter to the editor, or request for a correction.<br />
<br />
==Searching for discussion of Wikipedia online==<br />
<br />
The easiest way to search is to subscribe to a [http://www.google.com/alerts/ real-time news feed] of articles mentioning Wikipedia through [[Google Alerts]].<br />
<br />
You may also want to perform searches for "Wikipedia" on various search engines, such as:<br />
*[http://news.google.com/news?q=wikipedia Google News]<br />
*[http://search.wn.com/?search_string=wikipedia World news search]<br />
*[https://news.search.yahoo.com/search?p=wikipedia Yahoo News]<br />
<br />
If you find press coverage not previously mentioned in {{Special|PrefixIndex|prefix|3=Press+coverage&namespace=4&hideredirects=1&stripprefix=1|4=the page corresponding to its publication year}}, you are welcome to add it in!<br />
<br />
==Adding entries to a page==<br />
<br />
Due to the amount of listings they have been {{Special|PrefixIndex|prefix|3=Press+coverage&namespace=4&hideredirects=1&stripprefix=1|4=broken up by publication year}}. If the press coverage in question was published in {{CURRENTYEAR}}, see '''[[Wikipedia:Press coverage {{CURRENTYEAR}}]]''' (the same goes for [[Wikipedia:Press coverage {{LASTYEAR}}|{{LASTYEAR}}]], [[Wikipedia:Press coverage {{LASTYEAR|2}}|{{LASTYEAR|2}}]], etc.).<br />
<br />
If you add an article, cite both the title and the source. Note that if you're listing an article from a traditional press wire service that ran in your local newspaper, it may not have the same title everywhere; be cautious about duplicates.<br />
<br />
Add your entry to the end of the page, using {{tl|Cite news}}. You may find a blank template at the bottom of the page to copy and paste. Depending on the publication circumstances, you may want to use different parameters &ndash; for more information and a list of all parameters, see the [[Template:Cite news|template page]].<br />
<br />
Note that all templates varieties have the {{para|quote}} parameter: use this to include a short snippet of the press coverage.<br />
<br />

Additional authors may be listed using {{para|last2}} and {{para|first2}}, then {{para|last3}} and {{para|first3}}, and so on.<br />
<br />
Do '''not''' wikilink the author to their Wikipedia article in the name fields, instead use {{para|author-link}}, {{para|author-link2}}, etc.<br />

In this variation, any other information about authorship may be put in under {{para|author}} (staff writers, etc.). This parameter may be omitted completely if no such information exists.<br />

<br />
In this variation, the original URL would go in {{para|url}}, even if it [[WP:DEADLINK|no longer displays the article]]. {{para|url-status}} can be used to show if a link no longer displays an article ("<code>dead</code>") or if it preemptively archived (still visible under the original URL ("<code>live</code>"). For a list of avaliable web archives, see [[List of Web archiving initiatives]].<br />
<br />

<br />
To cite international coverage, use {{para|trans-title}} to hold an English-language translation to the original title. If the title can be simplified with [[WP:ROMAN|romanization]], use {{para|script-title}} to hold the original title (prefixed with [[Help:Citation_Style_1#&#124;script-&lt;param>= language codes|a language code]]) and {{para|title}} to hold the roman variation. Use {{para|language}} to hold the displayed language. See [[Template:Cite news#Title|the template page]] for further explanation.<br />

<br />
In {{para|url-access}}, three access levels can be used: <code>registration</code>, where a free registration is needed, <code>limited</code>, where there are other constraints (such as a cap on daily views), and <code>subscription</code>, where the source is [[paywall|only accessible via a paid subscription]].<br />
