Welcome
203.56.2.254, 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! -- Davodd | Talk 22:30, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi
I'm liking your Kyoto article :) Dan100 (Talk) 09:02, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * First up, a little tip - you can sign messages by typing ~ . This will leave a time stamp just like the one at the end of this (although it will feature your IP address as you haven't registered yet - you only need to chose a name and password).


 * Moving a story to the front page - if you visit Reporter's tools you'll see a link under 'Publish your story' or some such which will take you to today's articles page. There you can add your story as like the others listed there. Put yours at the top of the list. There's also the same link near the bottom of Writing an article.


 * If you have any more questions, fire away :) Dan100 (Talk) 22:01, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
