Welcome edit

Welcome!

124.104.157.99, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions 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!

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

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information (not even an e-mail address), and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages (the "collaboration" tab at the top of the page), or the comments pages (tab "opinions"), please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the 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! --SVTCobra 23:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Keep trying edit

We all make mistakes, but using predecessor as opposed to successor is a kinda big one. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

A few pointers edit

Hi, thanks for your many contributions. I just want to share a few suggestions with you.

  • Please don't publish on your first edit. Even the best contributors have mistakes in their first drafts.
  • Don't wikilink dates. This is per WN:SG.
  • The date format for sources should be "June 26, 2008" not "26 June 2008". This is per WN:SG.
  • Use local links instead of Wikipedia links whenever possible. We have local links for all countries and for many politicians who are frequently in the news.

Again, thanks for you recent contributions and I hope you join us on a permanent basis. Cheers, --SVTCobra 22:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply


Comment
This is the contributions page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account and/or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
