Hello,

Thanks for adding stories to Wikinews! However, some parts of articles you've posted appear to be copyright violations. At Wikinews, we write news stories based on multiple sources, but not by copying them.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask me, or read the Wikinews:Introduction.

Welcome

Colsser, 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
• If you're interested in audio recordings, Audio Wikinews could always use more contributers
• 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!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 15:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

{{Office}} tag

Hello,

Thank you for editing Wikinews! You recently added {{Office}} to a story. Using this tag implies that the Wikimedia Foundation has protected a story due to legal reasons. It also implies that editors cannot edit the page, since it has been protected. This was not the case in the article you added this tag to. Please refrain from tagging articles with this tag, unless the Wikimedia Foundation has directly asked you to. Thanks,  Thunderhead  ►  16:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
