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! terinjokes | Talk 07:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jason 32, thanks for this contribution. Please don't use cut-and-paste to "mix up" another source's story to get it on Wikinews. That is still a violation of copyright laws. Read more than one source and write in your own words. Use cut-and-paste only for direct quotes. Don't be over-eager to publish right away. Read the above links for help in styling your articles. Until you are 100% competent in Wikinews formatting, I suggest you use instead of , so that someone else can give it a look first. Good luck and happy editing. --SVTCobra 23:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
