Syringe robber arrested
Howdy! I have expanded a little your Syringe robber arrested story and added a minimal tag. Unfortunately, what you had put in would have been deleted as it stood as you provided no sources or information to check the minimal content.

If you can, please expand the article, as I guess you're in the Boston area you can probably obtain better information on this high-IQ criminal than I can from here in Europe. Brian McNeil / talk 18:37, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Minimal articles
Please do not create multiple stories on a single topic. Please do not mark minimal articles as breaking news; create at least a stub article before adding the breaking template. If you are not willing to put the work into writing at least minimal information about a subject it will be immediately deleted. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 17:49, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

what can i do to help?? add more? can you help saddam and bush articles??

Please stop editing that article until the merge is completed. Furthermore, you need to read the sources more carefully; you have added misinformation and contradictions to the article. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

thanks i hope you can work things out just trying to make facts about saddam beatings.

Do not edit this article. You are making me redo all the work I am doing. If you continue to edit I cannot help. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

when did you post it?? the expand??


 * Sorry, I'm not going to continue to work on the article. You are making it impossible for anyone to fix it. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

A comment was added to the talk page of the Rose Bowl article suggesting the title be changed. Refer to the create an account guidelines above if you wish to make the change, or go to the article's talk page and leave a suggestion. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Articles
I cannot keep editing your stories if I cannot find sources. Also if you are going to write a news story, please write about something that easy to find sources on. One source is NOT enough. DragonFirew1024 3:06PM (EST) Jan. 12, 2006.

one source is enough trust me you can make something out of nothing!

ok...so if there is only one source, then does that mean you were at the scene? You cannot copy a story from one source. DragonFire1024

W... i dont get that but copy no source yes... try your best thats all that matters

It's not that at all. You do NOT site sources in 90% of your work. I cannot look for a story with no clue as to where it came from. You cannot "make-up" a story. Bush never said those things. I cannot sit here and look for info on 7 different stories you posted. I am requesting deletion only on the ones that require it. You cannot copy and paste articles.

Dragon enough just go on with your news. i give.
 * As DragonFire1024 has tried to point out, you are a disruptive user. You start articles and make no effort to finish them, you harangue regular contributors to complete articles for you, and you're the mad article tagger who seems to think that a few more tags will encourage people to turn the measly two or three sentences you've contributed into a full-fledged article.  Stop it.  I'd like to see you actually finish an article on your own without demanding that others do the research, copyediting, and general cleanup that you demand of them.  That means something with at least two sources, good grammatically correct English, and properly cited sources. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Brian i try but sometimes its not enough to you all at wikinews i got news in my head 24/7 hope to hear from ya and good luck with the articles i will contribute thanks!
