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! &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 06:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Civility

Re:Israel Existence Map
Thanks for your feedback. I have always maintained that the views expressed by the Muslim world about the existence of Israel must be brought out alongside the views of countries which do not doubt Israel's existence or its right to exist. I am aware that my views about Israel will anger some users, but those views are my own, and I will not enforce them on articles. In this particular article, the map is relevant since the Israeli existence issue is mentioned in the article. Zeest(Talk)(Newpages) 11:18, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Consecutive redirects
Hello Shaoken. When renaming a story, please remember to check incoming links for consecutive redirects. These are recognizable in the list of incoming links (a link is provided on the post-rename page) as nested lists of redirects:
 * Israel accused plans for strike on Iranian nuclear facillities (redirect page)
 * Israel accused of planning for strike on Iranian nuclear facillities (redirect page)

A redirect to a redirect does not work, and leaves the reader on the redirect page (see [ example]). These can be fixed by replacing the link after "#redirect" on all redirect pages with the current story title. There were several double redirects to that story, and even a triple redirect (I've fixed them). :) —Pathoschild 18:22, 8 January 2007 (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 Shaoken. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shaoken~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 23:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
