User talk:85.124.107.143

Welcome
85.124.107.143, 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! --Mrmiscellanious 14:34, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

If I have in anyway abused my admin powers, please direct them to the Administrator page and list me for de-sysop. But don't accuse me of doing something I haven't just because we don't see eye-to-eye on issues. I respect your issues, and you should respect others' opinions as well. And yes, NPOV is a huge problem on Wikinews. The project was made so that there would be no Point of View made, something that many want to change. That is not open journalism - that is satirism. I will not allow others to express favoritism to anyone in articles, nor will I allow articles on WN to be portals for biased materials. Userpages, talk pages are exempt from that. --Mrmiscellanious 14:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, wiki is for everyone, not just people who share your views. --Mrmiscellanious 21:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
