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! --Brian McNeil / talk 07:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Hamilton to appear at Goodwood
Just a heads-up, I wanted to give you the above boilerplate before I check the article. If it was copied from Wikipedia we can't have it without permission from all contributors to dual-license (WP is GFDL, we're CC-BY). --Brian McNeil / talk 07:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the welcome. I wrote most of it myself but did copy-and-paste a bit from the Goodwood article.  I'm happy to rewrite that section if that would resolve any problems. Waggers 07:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Pretty good article
Its on the front page. -- Danger^Mouse (talk) 11:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Re-welcome
I was just glancing at your contributions; it's good to see somebody come back to write for Wikinews again. You don't really need it, you're working fine, but I thought it might be handy to have the updated welcome template:

Even if it isn't useful: Welcome back! Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:23, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it's a great template. Love the tabs! Looks like it will be a useful future reference too. Waggers (talk) 20:32, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
