Welcome

JzG, 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! Daniel 13:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Large fire on London 2012 Olympics Games site

Hi Guy, nice of you to join us here. A word, if there is any original reporting in the article it should be tagged with {{original reporting}} and a note on the article talk page should explain what original reporting occurred. JoshuaZ 15:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• It was second-hand, relayed from friends at Canada Square, and taken from online reporting on News 24 - I think I attributed most of it. JzG 12:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
