Welcome
, 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! DragonFire1024 02:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

First Somalia President Aden Abdulle Osman Daar dies
I can understand that you want to get this article published. However, WN:SG and WN:CG places some fairly strict guidelines on what we can release. Timeliness is one of these concerns, and while this is certainly newsworthy, time ran out on getting this into apublishable format. However, you should check to see if these events are on our sister-project Wikipedia. As an encyclopedia, information is always welcome there, regardless of timeliness. However, if you want to bring this up again here, the occasion of the state funeral will be the perfect time. If you have trouble following our standard formatting, just raise some attention by posting requests for assistence. --SVTCobra 01:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
