Welcome!

70.183.177.102, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions 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:
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Here are some other hints and tips:


 * I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)


 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the 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(talk) 20:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Virginia shootings
hi, i've had to remove ur addition to the article as Wikinews articles are not meant to have editorial comment in them. see the Content guide.–Doldrums(talk) 20:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * A list of what you wrote is here.

QUESTIONS A lot of this information is simply not known yet. The Wikipedia article has some info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shootings Also, check the discussion page. Several people have asked similar questions. Sifaka 20:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Why wasn't the campus shut down after the first shooting?
 * If it was just one shooter, how did he get between buildings? The university has a very large military training contingent. Many people there are familiar with firearms. Virginia is a concealed carry state. Why does the university not allow concealed carry on the campus? Is this somewhat hypocritical?
 * Obvious questions concerning motive, and background of the shooter.
