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! &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 15:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello,

There is new policy on Wikinews about signatures. I am asking that you remove Image:Flag of United States.svg out of your signature as it "pollutes" the file links. Please read w:WP:SIG for more information. I hope that you are willing to follow this policy on my behalf. — F e  llow  Wiki  News   (W)  19:05, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Audio Wikinews
Hi,

I noticed you were willing to work on this project. Welcome! Everything you need to know about the project can be learnt from listening to the latest recordings (ignoring my horrible foreign accent of course). Try Audacity if you don't have it already, it's really easy and allows ogg-exporting if you have the codices... maybe it'll take some time installing but it's all freely downloadable and worthwile! You can copy-paste the intro jingle from one of gumboyaya's works in the archive. I'll post the jingles I used in my last brief on Commons next week if I find the time.
