Welcome
editDemiquave, 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!—FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 17:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
You need to get permission to copy stuff from wikipedia. For the template, you need to ask everyone who edited that template on wikipedia to release their edits to the specific template under the cc-by 2.5 license (not including vandals and interwiki links and stuff like that, just content edits). See wikinews:Copyright for (a little bit) more information. Thanks for your understanding, and happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
