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!–Doldrums(talk) 06:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Updates
Hi, per WN:ARCHIVE only non-content edits are allowed after 24 hours or so. Instead, should an update occur you should start a new article about it. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 18:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, it takes some getting used to. The challenge of keeping up to date does create a slight buzz and more satisfaction, though, or at least I think so. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 19:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
