Welcome
, 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! Anonymous101talk 13:27, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 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
 * Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
 * 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
 * Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
 * And of course, stories need writing!

No problem. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Anonymous101talk 13:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, when you've finished working on American tourist killed in Beijing. Tag the article with review to ask other users to check it (or tag it now if you've already finished). Anonymous101talk 13:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've added the tag. Thanks for letting me know about it! Ashanda (talk) 13:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've reviewed the article and published it to the Main Page. Thanks again for your contributions. Anonymous101talk 13:47, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You're welcome and thank you too! Things do move faster here than on Wikipedia, but I guess that would be the nature of the beast... Cheers! Ashanda (talk) 13:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * We need to move fast to stop all the news being old by the time it reaches the Main Page. Anonymous101talk 14:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
