Welcome

Kaldari, 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!--Cspurrier 20:04, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Images

Please do not add images to Wikinews unless you plan on using them in an article. --Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) 12:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Doctor diagnoses Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's infertility

Hi. Removing the image from the article isn't allowed under our archive policy (one of the reasons we don't allow the Commons delinker bot to run, even on articles that haven't been published yet). Our extensive archive curation is carefully limited to certain forms allowed under the policy, such as introduction of template {{missing image}} to neatify broken links. --Pi zero (talk) 11:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Pi zero: How is an article with a giant red "Image Not Available" banner on it a better archive of the article? It looks ridiculous. The image should just be removed if it doesn't exist any more. Kaldari (talk) 01:38, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

It's an accurate record of the fact that the image was there. --Pi zero (talk) 01:55, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
