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!–Doldrums(talk) 13:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

hi, welcome to wikinews. i noticed the article u created about the Pope's letter to the Iranian President. just wanted to let u know that wikinews articles are datelined the date they are published. so we don't publish "backdated" articles. if the incident is a li'l too old to merit an article with today's date, one option is to look for further developments and report that, using the older info as background. best, –Doldrums(talk) 13:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
