Welcome!

75.46.13.226, 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! &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 05:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, that's what I meant. Publishing is not against the law, lol. — F e  llow  Wiki  News   (W)  22:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If you want to get all technical about it, the act of publishing someone else's work as your own is copyright infringement. So publishing something you don't have permission to do so with from the author is against the law.  However, in most parts of the world it is a civil offense, not a criminal one.  So let people clean up behind you and read the guidelines on what you can publish here. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
