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!--Anonymous101  16:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Russian mob taken down by Spanish police
Thanks for creating an article on Wikinews. Please note that I have added a few tasks to Russian mob taken down by Spanish police which need to be completed before publication. Please ask on my talk page if you have any questions. Anonymous101  16:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

The number of articles that get developed from one sentence stub are rather low (probably around 30%) with most getting deleted after three days. If you have three paragraphs, however, there will probably be several contributers willing to copyedit and publish the article. Anonymous101  17:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

If you write the brief at Wikinews Shorts it will probably get published. Anonymous101  17:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
