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!--Mark Talk to me 21:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey there.
Just a quick note to let you know that I saw your edit. You should know that the tag doesn't need to be anywhere in particular in the article; top or bottom, it does the same thing.

Thanks for your contributions! irid:t 01:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Sen. Larry Craig Suddenly Decides He's Innocent of Lewd Conduct
Hey,

It is best to get others review before publishing - this article fails several of the criteria in the Style guide. It's nothing major, but they have to be fixed before publishing. I will fix up some of them now, but until then, I have removed the publish tag and replaced it with develop. Thanks! TheFearow 22:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I have fixed the major errors, and will re-publish. You can see what I changed here. Thanks! TheFearow 22:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
