User talk:Joanne~enwikinews

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!
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site

 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes

 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing

 * If you're interested in audio recordings, Audio Wikinews could always use more contributers
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Suicidal Wikipedian
I noted your comment on DragonFire1024's talk, and ended up reading the entire discussion on WP:AN/I. I have no opinion if there is or is not a story in a threatened suicide, but for anyone who doesn't like the Foundation there is a story in an actual suicide. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I realise that. But I'm trying to get the point across that if Wikinews runs a story before something has actually happened (as I understood DF's intentions were), just in case, could do more harm than good, and thus his question's on Danny talk page struck me as premature. --Joanne 12:41, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If anything, something would go up on the preparation section. It may seem kinda gruesome to do prepared obituaries, but it is the case that doing news on a wiki people can see your preparatory work.  Personally I hope it blows over and the user gets a grip on reality. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:50, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Joanne. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Joanne~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
