DragonFire1024: re. your cleanup comments for "Indonesian suspected bird flu case dies; symptoms included encephalitis":

"Needs proper Wiki links, sources can probably be shortened, needs proof read"

I've taken out some of the sources. What do you mean by 'needs proper Wiki links'? And what other changes should I make to get the story into a publishable form?

Thanks! Jun

 * Well first start by seeing the welcome message I am going to poste below. That should help. A Wikilink is a link to Wikipedia on a certain word or etc. Example, type this to get a wiki link for: United States, which would look like this: United States.


 * Unless the news situation is a breaking news situation, we want to try and keep sources "tidy" if you will...sometimes too many sources can take too long to verify the contents of an article. Many information is repeated in many cases in news articles in general.


 * There may be a few typos and grammar checks but then you should be set :-)


 * Here are some links to help get you started: DragonFire1024 07:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

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! DragonFire1024 07:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 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
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
 * And of course, stories need writing!


 * p.s., I'd like to point out, that Article name automatically gets changed to Article name on save, which is a little faster to type, happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 07:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, advice and editing DragonFire1024, Bawolff and Doldrums! The article now looks terrific! And that infobox is really cool, Doldrums! :-) I'll definitely be perusing the "how to" pages over the next few days.  And look forward to posting more news soon.  Yay for Wikinews!

 * Glad to hear. If you need any help with the how to pages, (especially the ones starting with help:, they are not that great quality. The help pages starting with wikinews: are generally quite good) don't hesitate to ask. Happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:02, 7 May 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 Jun. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jun~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 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:33, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
