Welcome

Mg22, 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! → CGorman (Talk) 20:43, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I welcome all new users everyday - its my job. Don't worry about poor English - I contribute at the French Wikinews - and my French is very bad! Ich hoffe, daß Sie wikinews-en mögen! → CGorman (Talk) 20:55, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ich bin auf diesem Werkzeug sehr vertrauensvoll - [1]. Es ist sehr gut. However, I did study German in school for 3 years - but I was very bad at it! → CGorman (Talk) 21:35, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Babel templates

Hi! I noticed you put language templates up for speedy. I don't think we have a problem with copyright. They are just templates used on user pages, and I am not even sure if user pages are by default public domain. In case we ever have a problem with those, we can just ask the original author(s) to release them under public domain. --Dčabrilo 10:42, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello Dčabrilo! Thank you for giving me your opinion about the subject!
