Welcome

MartinGugino, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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: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
• 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 ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

This place is so cool

Nice to be here :-) MartinGugino 18:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

==Image:2006-0327-LongBeach1.jpg== Template:OwnWorkBoilerPlate --MartinGugino 20:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC) I am seeing what this "OwnWorkBoilerPlate" expands to. Hmmm. It didn't work. Oh -- I need to add this to my talk page in WikiCommons, not WikiNews.

Bumper sticker!

I got a good smile and a chortle over the bumper sticker you added to my UserPage. I finally noticed the addition when I checked my 'Watch List' tool button. It would be remiss of me if I didn't advise you, that your User Page is generally considered your space to post whatever strikes your fancy, and the discussion is used by others to address you with a message. I happen to like your bumper sticker very much, and will keep it! Best regards. -Edbrown05 04:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
