Welcome
Welcome! 72.73.74.205, 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
 * Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
 * 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 (not even an e-mail address), 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 (the "collaboration" tab at the top of the page), or the comments pages (tab "opinions"), 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!Anonymous101  15:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey thank you WikiNews!!! --72.73.74.205 15:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll copyedit them and make them all into shorts unless you want to expand them into full articles. Thanks again for submitting the articles, Anonymous101  15:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

kk sounds good ty again. --72.73.74.205 15:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Shorts
When the shorts you create seem to disappear from the shorts page they have not been deleted, they have just been temporarily hidden for reader while it is copyedited. You can still see the short when you edit the page. Anonymous101  16:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I kind of understand what your talking about but maybe i should just stop making shorts or articles all together lol idk? your talking to a disabled 18 year old here so dont expect to much. --72.73.74.205 16:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
