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) 01:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Korea article
Nice work – reviewed, published and (at the time of writing) one of the five lead stories on the front page. Have you considered joining in the Writing contest 2010? Regards, Bencherlite (talk) 11:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Contest entrant template
This template should be given to all participants in the writing contest, since you added your name after the official start, the bot didn't send it to you so i'm adding it here manually. :-) Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  18:59, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, I took the liberty of adding your Korea article to the log and adding your name to the standings table. Hope you don't mind. Tempodivalse [talk]  19:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Smart Quotes
What are they? And I do edit offline,but I do not copy-paste.Thanks for the review!! --Adi4094 (talk) 09:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Smart quotes probably have a more technical name, but they are the quotation marks that look like "66" and "99" -- “This is in smart quotes” but "this is in normal quotes". The problem with them is that they cannot be easily typed on a keyboard, and look strange when both are used on the same page. It's a feature that can be turned off using Microsoft Word, but you may find it easier to use Notepad. — μ 09:41, February 4 2010 (UTC)

Metropolis News
First of all thank you for reviewing :). but could you please edit the text according to the "style" part? I mentioned that English is not my native language, so a native speaker should do that. I added the missing time zone according your review, and what's arte is allready mentioned and wiki-linked inside. and like you labeled it, it's old news right now, so almost all of your review-reactions are fulfilled. and the first review hasn't reacted in any way, so what shall I do now? best regards, --Andreas -horn- Hornig (talk) 20:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Get uninvolved
In regards to this. Get uninvolved. It really doesn't help an antagonistic situation to pop in and vote sides. Really, everyone just needs to chill. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 02:58, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I initially did not notice this edit. Not cool man, not cool.  Chill out, and don't antagonize people, they do notice hidden comments. -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 03:03, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
