Welcome

SlimVirgin, 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 14:49, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationales

Hello, Thanks for kindly transwiki-ing the two PETA images that were deleted from Commons for the lack of free license. I expect that fair use rationales can be written to allow them to be kept at Wikinews for use in Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder of PETA, on animal rights and the film about her life.

1. Could you have a stab at drafting the rationales, please?
2. Do you think the poster should be lower resolution, or is it 'fair' at that resolution?
