Welcome

Kalspring, 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! Bawolff ☺☻ 12:18, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi I have blocked your bot because it was not approved at WN:BOT and made an unhelpful edit [1]. Please get it approved before running it. Thanks for understanding. Bawolff ☺☻ 12:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

My bot

Sorry about those mistakes. Still ironing out some problems. The bot's intended usage is to flag pages for speedy deletion, or to find copyright violations. It should take about 3 - 4 days to fix it then. Apologies if my comments seem rushed, I'm on a public computer now. --Kalspring (talk) 12:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Thats fine. Please make sure to request approval on WN:BOT. Bawolff ☺☻ 13:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
