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!

Userboxes
Per my understanding, user boxes are generally frowned upon on Wikinews. Also, if you feel like putting personal opinions on your user page, make sure there is a disclaimer there, saying they are your opinions and not those of Wikinews. MyName 00:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * But a user named Divol sed userboxes and i did not see a disclaimer.-Cute 1 4 u 01:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Go here. F  e  llow  Wiki  News   (W)  01:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Userbox are limited to language for neutrality and calm down some problems. There's no need of disclaimer for language. The same for where you live. Wikinews is not a weblog. Jacques Divol 15:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!
Congratulations on you first published article, Box office breakouts for August 8, 2006! Would you be interested in writing one of these articles every week? —     19:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There is perhaps a "project" here, we have a portal where all the "Culture and entertainment" articles are collected together (yes, it isn't being kept up to date). A once-a-week or once-a-month list of top box office takings could be included in that page.  Might remind people to go to the cinema a bit more often too.
 * I'd also suggest you reword your user page a bit, referencing what level of school you're at might be more appropriate than the term "pre-teen" - even if you are using it to inflate the age people believe you are. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

News articles
I noticed that you wrote Lamont Bentley Dies eight months after the event happened. This is discouraged on Wikinews, as news articles are supposed to be written about recent events, and not things in the past (I put the threshold at about 5 days). Please continue to contribute to Wikinews, but only write new articles if they're on recent events. —     03:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violations
I noticed that two of the articles you've submitted to Wikinews are copied from other websites. You shouldn't copy news articles from other websites, since it's their writing and only they are allowed to use it. You're allowed to write articles based on other articles (in fact, you should), but copying them word-for-word isn't allowed. If you have any questions about any of this, ask me on my talk page. —     04:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Bad Breath
Hi! I like what you've done on Bad Breath Could Indicate Medical Problems. I'm concerned though that the FOX news article you based it on was rather misleading. The actual recent study done (and thus the newsworthy part of it) was a study showing that flossing in addition to brushing could strengthen kid's gums. FOX sort of took this and made an article on something entirely different. I found a more relevant source for you to take a look at. . Hope this helps! Also, if you're really interested, you can probably email the researcher of the study (Walter Bretz) and have him send you a copy of the study to do your own original reporting article on. Much love, -- Ross Koepke Talk 05:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks and improper comments
Note that comements such as these are not permitted on Wikinews. Don't personally attack users or groups. --Chiacomo (talk) 04:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Personal attacks are inexcusable -- no matter who started what. --Chiacomo (talk) 05:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

box office breakouts
I think u got something there, liked messes said, if you choose to pursue it. -Edbrown05 06:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Regarding US Box Office Breaks Out for August 23, 2006, I was hugely curious how Oliver Stones' World Trade Center would stack up to the competition, so thank you for answering that. I am a little concerned over the headline of the article so closely duplicating the sole source listed for the article's creation. I think a new snappy headline of your creation would be good to go along with this if it is to be reported with regularity, along with providing at least one more source. Best regards -Edbrown05 01:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Article Spam
Could you please refrain from putting articles that read like advertisments on Wikinews? Thanks, Thunderhead - (talk) Congrajulations to Kat! 22:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No personal attacks please. I have listed you on WN:AAA. Thunderhead - (talk) Congrajulations to Kat! 23:12, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Final warning: personal attacks
I've noticed you've been making personal attacks to some users. Everyone (including you) has to be polite no matter what happened. Please review Wikinews:ettiquite. Consider this your final warning as Chiacomo has already given you a warning previously. You will be blocked on your next offesnse. Bawolff ☺☻ 00:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Would like to see you around more
Hi there, you have contributed some good work to the site. I would like to see more of you around the site and notice you have been having issues with some other users. I wish to offer some assistance if you need it. Feel free to hit me back on my talk page or email me using the supplied address on my page. Cheers, Nathan - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 03:43, 21 December 2006 (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 Cute 1 4 u. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cute 1 4 u~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)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
