Welcome
Htchien, 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! Jacques Divol 17:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

The Ulead news
Hi, can you let me know how to improve the article or how to rewrite it? This is my first news article on en WikiNews. Thanks for your help. --H.T. Chien / 眼鏡虎 (Discuss|Contributions) 12:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I recommend you read WN:NOT.

What Wikinews articles are not 1. Wikinews articles are not press releases. ...and attempt to present newsworthy articles...


 * You could try to rewrite the article so it wasn't like a press release. But I think it would still not be newsworthy. How is this release important? Reading the article, none of the new features sound particularly new or ground-breaking. I mean, look at the price - it's consumer software. Home users can use this software to edit their home videos and burn DVDs. And now they can do it in high definition. Doesn't Apple already ship software with their Mac's that does this? Nothing newsworthy that I can see. Sorry. Imroy 15:44, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
