Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; 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! —     08:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't copy and paste from other websites
Please don't copy and paste articles you found on other websites; it is illegal for them to be hosted on Wikinews. Feel free to use those articles as a source and write articles yourself. —     08:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi MLubieniecki, welcome to Wikinews! I'm just reminding you again that copyrighted text cannot be put in Wikinews articles. This includes text from any mainstream news site, but also blogs and other sites, unless the text has specifically been released into the public domain. If you add copyrighted text to the article again, your changes will be reverted again. Discussion of the article will occur at Talk:Motor sport legend Peter Brock dies. - Borofkin 08:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Now for the next part of your lecture on copyright... You cannot lift pictures from a news source and represent them as your own work and free of copyright. I have removed the picture, placed a copyright violation tag on the commons copy of the image, and suggest you read the bits around the edit boxes for uploads and article contributions.  They may be boring, but they are quite clear on what you can and cannot take from elsewhere.  --Brian McNeil / talk 12:22, 8 September 2006 (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 MLubieniecki. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name MLubieniecki~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
