Een het einde van een item kan tussen HTML-commentaartekens een of meerdere URLs als nieuwsbron aangegeven worden. Omdat de meeste items op de In het nieuws-pagina tot de hoofdpunten van die dag behoren en reeds in alle grote media zijn opgenomen, wordt dit op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia niet vaak gedaan.
==Een context aangeven==
Het is op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia niet gebruikelijk om een context bij berichten aan te geven. Wij laten het waar mogelijk bij een geografische aanduiding.
Voor de volledigheid staat de originele tekst van de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia over context hieronder.
:It is customary, if possible, to indicate the context for a story at the start of the line. A good example would be:
:* [[SCO v. IBM Linux lawsuit]]: SCO Group files subpoenas for [[Richard Stallman]] and [[Linus Torvalds]]. [1]
:The ''context'' string, ''SCO v. IBM Linux lawsuit'', links to a story on the relevant topic. This is ideal but not always possible.
:Here is another good example:
:* [[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]]: A hard-hitting [[Verenigde Naties|UN]] report says that Israel will effectively annex large areas of Palestinian territory as a result of the permits it intends to issue to Palestinians near the controversial "security wall" currently being erected in the West Bank. [1]
:===The context is ''not'' the geographical location===
:For example, this is incorrect:
:* [[Saskatchewan]]: The NDP government of Lorne Calvert is returned to power with a majority government in the general election. [1]
:However, this is correct:
:* [[Saskatchewan general election, 2003]]: The NDP government of Lorne Calvert is returned to power with a majority government. [1]
:as is this:
:* [[Politics of the Netherlands]]: The [[first Balkenende cabinet]] resigns. Because of the constant internal fighting in the new party [[Lijst Pim Fortuyn|LPF]], the other two governing parties, [[Christen Democratisch Appèl|CDA]] and [[Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie|VVD]], decided that continuing the [[coalition government|coalition]] was impossible. It seems almost certain that there will be new elections, possibly as early as December. [1]
:This is incorrect:
:* [[Solar system]]: The [[zon|sun]] surprises astronomers by launching another [[solar flare]], this time the largest ever recorded. [1]
:The ''solar system'' is the location, not the context. This is better:
:* The [[zon|sun]] surprises astronomers by launching another [[solar flare]], this time the largest ever recorded. [1]
:===The context is ''not'' the subject===
:This is incorrect context:
:* [[Jessica Lynch]]: A new book reveals details of her capture and captivity. She was treated brutally, as evinced by her physical condition, and, according to medical records, was anally raped. The book says some Iraqi doctors said Lynch was virtually dead. [1]
:Why? Because ''Jessica Lynch'' is the subject of the entry, not the context. It would be better to rewrite it with a context like this:
:* A new book reveals the details of [[Jessica Lynch]]'s capture and captivity. She was treated brutally, as evinced by her physical condition, and, according to medical records, was anally raped. The book says some Iraqi doctors said Lynch was virtually dead. [1]
:Yet another example:
:* [[Space]]: After 26 years, and at a distance from Earth of over 8 billion miles, [[Voyager 1]] exits the solar system. It is expected to keep on transmitting into the 2020s. [1]
:This is better:
:* [[Voyager program]]: After 26 years, and at a distance from [[Earth]] of over 8 billion miles, [[Voyager 1]] exits the [[solar system]]. It is expected to keep on transmitting into the 2020s. [1]
