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!irid:t 14:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know
I'd love to reformat your stories and work with you. I just have to let you know that I'm at work right at the moment and I can't dedicate a whole lot of time here. I'll get it punched though sporadically during the day. Just keep making articles! :) irid:t 14:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I will thank you Iron --Cigarlover 14:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

What do you need help on?
I need a bit more information to "help", and I'm only about for the next half-hour or so - gotta go food shopping. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:48, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

From Shane.Bell on your User Page
Hello Cigarlover, I don't really know anything about the Community of Christ... I only add links to Wikinews articles and correct grammar and wording to try and make things a bit more readable. Basically I help where I can :) Goodluck though. shane bell my grammer is horible wording is bad to please help iron sort things out if you have time? --Cigarlover 15:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

short articles
hi, thanks for contributing to Wikinews. i would suggest that instead of creating several short articles, it might be better to create a single page compiling several news briefs, we call them Wikinews Shorts. you can create one by following a link from the Start an article box at the top of the main page. also, all articles need sources. –Doldrums(talk) 15:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Um...
Cigarlover, what is this? Instead of creating several articles that are very short, and very vague, articles with several sentences and at least one source are much better and much more preferable. When I said "keep making articles", I didn't mean to create article that are nearly indecipherable... irid:t 15:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cigarlover. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cigarlover~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
