User talk:Todaydailynews

Welcome
Hello, Todaydailynews, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome!  Them From  Space  16:49, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Because your account was used for promotion of a company, group, product or organization with a username that violated username policy as it promotes (or implies affiliation with) the aforementioned. This includes, but is not limited to: adding spam links, creating promotional pages (this includes user pages), adding advertisements to existing articles, and adding promotional/favorable content about something you are affiliated with.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Use of Wikipedia for promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones) is considered spam and is forbidden. Such actions will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why.

It is published by Today Daily News International in Scarborough.

It is called the Canada Eastern Edition (加東版 Pinyin: jiā dōng bǎn) even though it is the only edition published at the moment.

The paper is published 7 days a week in traditional Chinese in the broadsheet format. News coverage includes headline news, news at the metro and national levels, news from Greater China, Chinese community news, international news, entertainment, financial news, sports, and supplements.

The paper does not own its own printing press; printing is being contracted out to a printer.

Compared with the other three main Chinese newspapers, the reporting style of Today Daily News is relatively sensationalist. The reporting style seems to be approximately comparable to the Toronto Sun, but not as sensationalist as the likes of Apple Daily or the Hong Kong Sun.

Contents [hide] 1 The online version 2 Supplements (magazines) 3 Launch 4 Rivals 5 External References

[edit] The online version Today Daily News is also published online on the world wide web. The online version contains an exact copy of the day’s newspaper; back issues are online for 7 days. Access is free of charge, however, registration of account is required.

The online version of Today Daily News works in a way similar to the “ePaper” version of Oriental Daily News and Apple Daily and is very different from the way most online newspapers work:

When a visitor visits the web site, the visitor is presented with a text menu for selecting the three publications (the paper, and the two supplements) Clicking on one of the three text links gives a GIF thumbnail image of the front page of the paper or supplement. Clicking the image leads to a new page with GIF thumbnail images of each of the major sections. Clicking any of the thumbnails of a section leads to a new page with GIF thumbnail images of each of the pages in that section. Finally, clicking the thumbnail image of any page leads to a new page containing an image of that page, consisting of 9 JPEG sub-images. In other words, the online version of Today Daily News aims to give the visitor an experience comparable to reading a printed newspaper.

The way the online version works presents a number of accessibility problems:

There is no search function; It is not possible to read the paper with text-based browsers (nor with screen readers, but screen readers for Chinese are not known to exist); Search engines will not be able to index the news stories reported by Today Daily News; It would not be understood by people who can only read simplified Chinese (who normally would be able to benefit from third-party utilities like NJStar, which can convert traditional Chinese text into simplified Chinese on the fly). Nevertheless, some users like this format and cites a number of advantages:

It feels like reading a real paper; It is possible to look up advertisements, which is sometimes helpful. Advertisers can also add hyperlink to their website.

[edit] Supplements (magazines) Two weekly magazine are distributed free of charge as supplements:

Saturday—Today BQ Magazine (現代北京青年週刊)is in tabloid size; it is a lifestyle-and-entertainment magazine from Beijing, China which is published in simplified Chinese. It has the Home Guide Magazine contents inside, with information on Greater Toronto's new, resale and rental homes. Its editorial contents of home improvement and renovation originates from the Sun Media. Today BQ serves primarily the Mandarin-speaking Chinese immigrants from Mainland China.

Sunday-701 is the most popular entertainment magazine, with hot gossips on celebrities and stars, fashion and fad from Hong Kong's Oriental Sunday(東方新地). It is printed in art glossy paper. 701 serves primarily the Cantonese-speaking Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong.

[edit] Launch Today Daily News’ and its website http://www.todaydailynews.com

were launched in November, 2005.

{{unblock|This is the first time I used your service. Since there have been a lot of changes since this was last edited, I just wanted to set the record straight: Today Daily News is now in tabloid format, not broadsheet as the photo attached show It publishes from Tuesday to Sunday, not 7-days anymore, The Saturday magazine has changed to Today BQ, not Today Life, and the contents completely different. I will change the username to 'Mandarin reader' instead. I will delete promotional wordings. I will read the instructions more carefully and abide by them. Thank you.Todaydailynews (talk) 18:49, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
