Welcome
Franksmathers, 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!

Your edit to Dance party broken up by police in Utah, USA
Please refrain from adding that particular link -- see the article's discussion page for the ongoing discussion concerning that particular addition. I have very little patience with this particular dispute. --Chiacomo (talk) 02:57, 25 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Again, I ask that you please refrain from adding that particular link to the article. Perhaps you would consider discussing the addition of the link on the article's talk page. If you do not refrain, you will be blocked. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:04, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
