User talk:Althani

Welcome
Althani, 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! --Dčabrilo 18:08, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Few things
First of all, thanks for your contributions. I just wanted to let you know about some practices we have here:
 * Please do not sign the articles.
 * We usually don't capitalize article titles.
 * It would be good to leave tag on an article for at least a few minutes before publishing it, for peer review.

I hope you enjoy it here! --Dčabrilo 18:08, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Copyright violations
Hi, I also noticed that you copy/pasted content from other websites in three stories. We are not allowed to do this, as it constitutes copyright violations. Please see the actual articles to find out what you can still do. --Dčabrilo 18:35, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
