Welcome

Blueline, 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! Thunderhead(talk) 23:20, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

note that

on de-adminship requests, Support means remove adminship and Oppose means he should keep his adminship.  — Doldrums(talk) 16:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe in forgiveness and peace so I hope he is not kicked out; so I do vote oppose. Blueline 16:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

no problem. i couldn't make out from ur comment accompanying the vote which way u leaned, and since this (support/oppose) confusion is quite common on RfDAs, i thought i'd just point it out to you.  — Doldrums(talk) 16:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

banned?

I do not know why. I went to the link to ask someone and I seem to be banned from that link as well; "#wikinews-en You're banned from that channel". I imagine it is a technical problem of some kind? blue 12:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

u r blocked indefinitely as a suspected w:Sockpuppet, after a CheckUser was performed.  — Doldrums(talk) 19:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
