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! Cirt (talk) 13:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Hia
Just leaving a quick note to say that we appreciate your work so far:). Unlike Wikipedia Wikinews doesn't have a lot of contributors (yet), so it's always nice to have someone join up and stick with it for a while. Gopher65talk 14:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I wanna jump in and say welcome too. The Mind&#39;s Eye (talk) 18:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

'''Note! Your privileges on English Wikinews have been reduced.'''
 * Under the Privilege expiry policy (enacted October 13, 2012) the rights held by your user account have been reduced due to inactivity, or lack of privilege use.


 * We all understand that real-life commitments can severely curtail the level of commitment you can give to Wikinews; the privilege reduction is in no way intended as a reflection on your past work, or to imply you are unwelcome. The aim in curtailing privileges is to address security risks, and concern that a long period of inactivity means you may not be up-to-date with current policy and practices.
