Welcome
132.159.147.78, 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! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), 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!

You could probably get away with changing to  now, I fixed the sources section for you, I believe there's a javascript widget for adding that on the new page template, but I've memorised it. I see you noticed the need for the w: prefix to use Wikipedia stuff, so I guess you're not a Wikinewbie. :-) I hope the links above in the boilerplate welcome are useful, we're not quite the same as Wikipedia, time pressures and the fact that you are confronting people with new information all the time make being a Wikinews contributor a little different, but I think in a fun way.
