Welcome

ComputerGuy890100, 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!

Accredited reporter

Please do not add your user page to Category:Accredited reporter. In order to qualify for accredation, you would have to follow Wikinews:Accreditation policy and earn a consensus vote from the community. Furthermore, there is Wikinews:Credential verification that has to take place. Also, do not use the {{Accredited reporter}} template until the previous steps have been completed. --SVTCobra 01:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Big Dig in Washington almost complete

You've been asked many times to add your original reporting notes to the article's talk page yet you ignore us. This is your last warning: this article will be deleted if you do not add your OR notes and edit it so it is NPOV. Thanks. —FellowWiki Newsie 22:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
