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! --Brian McNeil / talk 19:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

PCR story
I don't see why you are editing this story further: it needs to be cleaned up in the form of a news story. It has to change radically in order to get published.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 23:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate stories
If you don't feel you can make a story work you can nominate it for deletion by putting on it and filling out the appropriate entry on deletion requests. Otherwise the story will just be deleted as abandoned. The alternative is you try and make it into a story by finding more than one source and chopping it back to 2-3 paragraphs that assume no knowledge by the reader, this point is probably where you've gone wrong in your initial effort. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to see us lose a story, but I'm much happier to see a contributor who has some sympathy for the editorial process. Hopefully you can bring news to the site in the future. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: PREXEL-Q
Dear Jack,

I'm leaving for the Easter Holidays, so unfortunately I won't have the time right now... I'll post it on the Requested Interviews section.
