Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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! Doldrums 16:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

spelling
hi, thanks for ur contribs. i just want to point out that "programme" and "metre" are spelt corectly in Commonwealth English and are not spelling errors. here at wikinews, we follow the convention (from style guide) "Spelling is an issue which often becomes contentious since there are multiple contradictory standards available, for example, American and British English. On Wikinews there is no specific policy other than to use a consistent spelling pattern throughout an article. Follow the spelling patterns of the subject of the article or that of the first author of the article to avoid issues."
