Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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! Jason Safoutin 13:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your article
Hey there. Welcome to Wikinews! I just needed to let you know that we can't accept articles from other websites copied directly. In other words, you need to type the article yourself, in order to avoid copyright violation. We appreciate your contributions, however, and we hope you stay. Thanks! irid:t 15:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your new article
Hey there. I see you added another article. You copied it from the BBC without modification and unfortunately we don't allow that here. As you can see, it was deleted quickly.

Please, in the future, add articles that you wrote yourself. We can't copy from other news sources. irid:t 19:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
