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! --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 14:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Spurs Lose to the Jazz, game 3
Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating Spurs Lose to the Jazz, game 3, we need more articles like this. There are a few issues that must be dealt with before it can be published. The most important is that it currently only contains a bare minimum of information. Wikinews articles should be comprehensive. Try to answer the questions of who, what, where, when, why and how. Remember that your article will be read by people who may not know anything about the topic. You may find the Style guide and Content guide to be helpful.

All Wikinews articles must cite sources for the information they contain. Articles should cite sources by using the source tag at the bottom of the story after or before you write your story. If your article contains original reporting, you should read the information at original reporting. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to start or participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Keep at it and try to get this article published. Getting news stories that interest you published at Wikinews can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort. —Zachary talk 03:22, 28 May 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 Cooger. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cooger~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)
