• Wikinews:Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way

Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

• And of course, stories need writing!

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!

Where do I come from?

Thanyou for sourcing that image. Also, Is the image PD or fair use, You have the PD tag, but say fair use in the summary. And one last thing, for File:Cbs5earthqcobb.png, what is it a screenshot of? Thanks Bawolff ☺☻ 21:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

thanks for uploading the WTC image. However, the site you took it from says "all rights reserved". I don't believe this could be fair use, since there are clearly alternatives available. I'm replacing the image, and unless you argue decently why the image you found is used properly, it will be deleted.

And the burrito image: did you really take it yourself?!?

Nonetheless, thank you very much for contributing, enjoy wikinews and if you need anything, I'll be glad to help.

Also, I deleted the screenshot: it is clearly copyrighted by a rivaling news organisation, even if you took a screenshot of it, that's not what the screenshot-clausule is intended for: compare to Image:Google.be with court ruling.png.

Please be careful to upload copyrighted images. I too believe that articles should have images, and the search for a suitable image can be frustrating, certainly in the beginning. Try to browse commons, they usually have a related image that's worthwile.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I have tagged this image for deletion. It is unused and is not PD. --SVTCobra 15:19, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
