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! Doldrums 21:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to say hi welcome to wikinews. As you may have noticed, many wikinewsies (myself included) have been misreable. Hopefully that will never happen again. I just felt like going arround and saying hi to people so I'll stop being the annoying admin you gets caught up in wheel wars. So welcome and happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Nice to meet you. Just out of curiosity, why did you switch from wikipedia to wikinews. I personnally like wikinews because its smaller, and you know a fair portain of the contributors quite well. (although at times like today that can be troubling) I also found more things I could do at wikinews (I personnally don't like to write stuff, so that kinda narrows it down in all wiki projects. But I found things like pictures and stuff. I should proabally also help out at commons more, but one thing at a time).
