Welcome

Elatanatari~enwikinews, 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 your intreasted in audio recordings, Audio Wikinews could always 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) 04:38, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Shrinking Cities.gif

Image:Shrinking Cities.gif Needs to have source (url), or it might be deleted. Please write the url for where you got the image on the image description page. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC) I found the source myself. In future, please include the source for all images always. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Please use more then one source in stories.

Some sources dissapear after a while, and its better from a prevent bias perspective to have more then one source for stories. see template:single-source for full reasons. Bawolff ☺☻ 11:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Lead article

it would be nice if the Obama article is expanded to be more than a short briefs, now that it is the lead article. — Doldrums(talk) 17:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

accrreditation

I wanted to apologize for saying incorrect information about the number of edits you had at other projects. I misread the contributions pages. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

No need. I should be thanking you for spuring me to figure out how that worked. Thanks--Elatanatari 02:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, if you want a better edit counter, try http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/count_edits (gives you a bit extra info, for example here's mine) (slightly outdated (about a month) for the english wikipedia, everything else is about a day and a half behind).

more images

I'm having trouble verifying Image:Romney Announcement.jpg. Could you please confirm that that is the correct url? Bawolff ☺☻ 01:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The above image is from the Associated Press. Images from other news sources are not allowed on Wikinews. Your image will be listed at WN:DR as per our image policy. See WN:FU for more information. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 23:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Elatanatari. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Elatanatari~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
