Welcome

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! DragonFire1024 05:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

images
pls don't use images depicting identifiable women apparently dressed in violation of Iranian law in the article. such images have the potential to get the women depicted in trouble. –Doldrums(talk) 14:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

The pope category Category:Benedict XVI vs Category:Pope Benedict XVI
I've nominated it for deletion as its duplication. Please see WN:DR for more information. Happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Formatting
Please review the formatting changes people have made to your latest stories to get the formatting right from the first time. External links are placed at the bottom. Also, try to use the main categories listed on the main page, e.g. politics and conflicts and Asia, Middle East etc.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 19:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Just another little formatting niggle - and this qualifies as my personal preference rather than a site guideline: I don't like colons in titles. So for Kahmenei: I'd replace with Kahmenei states/asserts/some-other-synonym. Other than that, you're off to a good start on the wiki and I hope you take any "criticism" like this in a constructive manner. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:27, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
