Welcome

68.39.174.238, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these!

• Wikinews:Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
• Wikinews:Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced

Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:

• Wikinews:Introduction - overview of the site
• Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
• Wikinews:Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
• Wikinews:Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
• Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

• Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
• The front page lead articles often need updating
• Developing stories need finishing and publishing
• Discussions need your input
• Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
• And of course, stories need writing!

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! - Borofkin 04:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Do not over-wikify articles. Link only particularly relevant background material. If your article is about a high-speed chase and accident, the make and colour of the vehicle is probably not particularly relevant, but the city or region might be.

also, we usually wikilink a term only once in an article, and at the first occurence. cheers, Doldrums 02:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou

Thanks for the complement. It's my first "good faith" article, as I am a "retired" vandal. MyName 03:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Well to follow my new policy of complete honesty: I formally was The Rappy30/Raptor30 series vandal on Wikipedia and was the Nanook vandal here at Wikinews. MyName 03:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Sandbox

I have just cleared the sandbox. Can a woman still block me? 04:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

I fixed the wikipedia link you mentioned on the admin alerts page. - Amgine | ^{talk en.WN} 15:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Account?

Hay, why don’t you make an account? It would make identifying you a lot easier. MyName 17:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, your choice! BTW are you commonly in Wikipedia? MyName 17:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes I just had a look at it. It appears they bug you too about making an account. But we all have our own ways. MyName 17:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Are you Canadian (or have an interest in Canada)? I see you making edits to Canadian news. Happy editing. FellowWikiNews (W) 17:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

... too funny,

criss-crossing the same story made you do a double-take :P 68.232.153.54 01:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I think you meant Jimbo not Jumbo! [1] LOL. You made a worse mistake than CNN did! [2] —FellowWikiNews (W) 20:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

rewording comments

I reverted you, as you linked to a non-exsistant page (that's a wikipedia policy, not wikinews). Happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
