Welcome

Booticon, 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: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!--MarkTalk 18:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Please explain what the image is for or i will delete it soon as it is copyrighted and has no source. Thanks--MarkTalk 18:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

right i deleted the image a few secs before you replied. i (or another admin) will restore it for you once you have created your article. the image will then have to have fair use rational info added that can only be done arfter the article has been created. --MarkTalk 18:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

its a shame that you want to leave now but on the upload page it clearly states that sources must be shown. this is why the image was deleted. --MarkTalk 18:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
