Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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! --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 01:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyrighted material
Hi there, we don't allow copyrighted material (or cut-and-pastes from other websites) without permission from the owner of the content. For this, both articles you created have been tagged with the copyvio template so that you and other users can rewrite them into Wikinews articles (or, obtain permission from the original author/publisher to have them mirrored here). Please also note that all articles are also subject to the policies (which are linked to above) Sorry for the confusion, thanks for contributing to Wikinews! --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 01:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, that's fine then. Thanks for your contributions, I'll remove the copyright notices.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 02:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Your site, motorsports today, lists this article as copyright by motorsports, but does not give a licensure by which Wikinews may use this article. If you could clarify that your website's copyright licensure is compatible with the CC-by licensure then we can verify that the article may be used on Wikinews. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 02:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, we agree that the article is copyright by Motorsports Today. In order for the article to be published on Wikinews, however, you must have a copyright licensure which says Wikinews may publish your article on the wiki. There are many ways to do this, but before you do you must realize that Wikinews articles may be edited by anyone. By licensing it so we may use it your article would also be available to be expanded, or shortened, to have new information related to the story included, and so on.


 * To license your article so Wikinews could use it you would need to have a page somewhere on your site which states that your articles are released under license allowing them to be republished. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * An exact phrasing for your copyright page might be "Articles published and copyrighted by Motorsports Today. Articles are licensed for re-use so long as a link returning to Motorsports Today is included." This would allow Wikinews to use your articles. Another option would be to use a free license such as the Creative Commons Attribution] license (CC-by), which says the same thing much more precisely. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 16:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I was afraid that might be the case. I will make sure your articles are listed for deletion, and that any copyright issues are taken care of. But thank you for thinking about Wikinews! I like your articles. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 17:30, 5 March 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 MT. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name MT~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)
