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 04:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Creative / pun type names are generally discouraged in favor of more descriptive titles. As nice as they are, Wikinews is more interested in maintaining a historical record of news than it is entertaining people. However, if you're interested in using a creative title, you could create an article with a creative title then move the article to a more descriptive title. "Limbo in limbo" is a good example (and my personal favorite) of this.
 * Categories: When creating articles, be sure to put in appropriate geographical and topical categories. For example, I put Category:United States, Category:North America, and Category:Science and technology on the article you wrote.
