Welcome

Jeepday, 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! Bawolff ☺☻ 01:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

note you can link to wikipedia using an interwiki prefix (w) for example: w:wikipedia:Sandbox or wikipedia:wikipedia:sandbox. see meta:interwiki map for full list of possibilities. (ther's some cool ones like google:foo). Bawolff ☺☻ 01:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I fixed the editcountis link on your userpage. I hope you don't mind. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I keep forgetting how to do that, then I can't remember where to find how to do it. Jeepday 02:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Just pretend the other project is another name space. wikipedia:Main Page leads to the main page of wikipedia and so on. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:29, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
