Welcome

KingTut, 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!--Anonymous101 :) 16:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Russian mob taken down by Spanish police

Thanks for creating an article on Wikinews. Please note that I have added a few tasks to Russian mob taken down by Spanish police which need to be completed before publication. Please ask on my talk page if you have any questions. Anonymous101 :) 16:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

The number of articles that get developed from one sentence stub are rather low (probably around 30%) with most getting deleted after three days. If you have three paragraphs, however, there will probably be several contributers willing to copyedit and publish the article. Anonymous101 :) 17:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

If you write the brief at Wikinews Shorts it will probably get published. Anonymous101 :) 17:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
