Welcome

MGodwin, 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 ☺☻ 01:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Are you by any chance the Mike Godwin as in the wmf legal person? Bawolff ☺☻ 01:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, this is me. MGodwin - (talk) 02:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I have confirmed by private email with Mike's Wikimedia email address that this is foundation:User:Mikegodwin/w:User:Mikegodwin. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 04:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Is MikeGodwin (talk · contribs) also you? Bawolff ☺☻ 23:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

It is me too, but I have since tried to standardize on using MGodwin across all non-Wikipedia projects. (My Wikipedia User ID will remain "Mikegodwin".] So you can delete the "Mikegodwin" account on Wikinews.MGodwin (talk) 23:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
