Welcome

Deadsalmon, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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
• 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 ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! Dan100 (Talk) 22:55, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Original reporting

Just a quick note about this article. It's not original reporting to gather from multiple sources -- we're supposed to do that for every article. Original reporting is when you have first-hand information that other sources don't, when you actually interview someone personally, or if you were there. Incidentally, a lot of people have the wrong notion about this. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 11:35, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
