Hey, I wanted to welcome you to the Wikinews!

I saw you are following the swine flu story, (of course thats the hot topic now :P). If I am not mistaken you wanted to do some reporting on the first death outside of America - but I am afraid we cant publish stories that are copied directly from a news page (unless the news page explisitly allows it, eg Voice of America). For an example of how you can write a story, you could look at Malaysian_opposition_gains_in_elections,_conquers_four_new_state_legislatures, which I wrote (the "history" tab at the top is well worth while checking out - you can see the article evolve step by step (you can go here and keep clicking "newer revision") . If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my Talk page]!.
