draft for future news contest
News contest?
The purpose of this contest is to give the regular editors (non-adminstrators) a chance to compete in a contest to add news items for the "In the news" section of the Main page. In the past we have had regular contests where the focus is on creating or improving exisiting articles. This contest will see who is the best at creating news articles appropriate for Conservapedia.
==News criteria==
All news items need to link to these type of articles:
*Conservative
*Anti-liberal
These type of news articles are <u>not wanted</u> and ''will be rejected outright'':
*Liberal
*Atheistic
*Parody
*Entertainment related
*Graphic language - remember the CP audience includes minors
==Points awarded==
(criteria + example):
*3 pts for the suggestion, link and wiki links to CP articles (simple, 1 liner)
:The [[United States Constitution|American Constitution]] [http://slayingthegoliath.blogspot.com/2008/03/american-constitution.html]
*5 pts for the suggestion, link and wiki links to CP articles (advanced, several lines, multiple links)
:Families are "fleeing [[Germany]] and taking up residence in the [[United Kingdom]] 'to escape a law introduced by [[Hitler]]'": [[Germany]]'s law against [[homeschooling]]. "In school in [[Germany]] they expect you to be like everybody else; you cannot be different. If you don't have the correct clothes, like Nike and Adidas, or if you wear the wrong color, other children will not accept you." [http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=57384]
*7 pts for the suggestion, link, wiki links to CP articles, and pertinent photo from CP

:[[Doctor]]s declared Haleigh "[[brain]] dead" and in a permanent vegetative state but that's when Poutre began responding.
*3 additional pts if the article is added to the Main page by an administrator. It is up to an admin to decide if the article is appropriate for the Main Page. Any admin can post articles to the Main Page.
*5 additional pts for each NEW CP article that is created to use in the news link. These pts will be added even if the article is not added to the Main page. The reason is because the new article will benefit Conservapedia.
:[[United Nations|U.N.]] goodwill ambassador and part-time [[Tomb Raider]] [[Angelina Jolie]] states the [[Operation_Iraqi_Freedom#The_Surge_And_Progress_In_Iraq|surge in Iraq]] is working: [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,333730,00.html]
:If you create a new article like [[Goodwill ambassador|goodwill ambassador]] to use in the news item and you wikilink it to the news article, this qualifies for the additional 5 points.
==Judges==
Crocoite and ? are the judges.
