Welcome!

82.159.136.238, 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 08:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi
I noticed you were mainly editing portals, categories and such. I don't know if it's such a good idea to create pages like Gardening that redirect to categories like that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Some other Wikimedia projects redirect to Gardening. So, a simple redirect can drive the user to the right place (or one can create a portal, but could be the next step). Thank you a lot because of your help. --82.159.136.238 06:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
