Our key policies - if you read anything, read these!

• Wikinews:Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
• Wikinews:Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced

Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:

• Wikinews:Introduction - overview of the site
• Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
• Wikinews:Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
• Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.
• Wikinews:Newsroom - The comunity portal

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

• 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
• And of course, stories need writing!

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), 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! --Chiacomo ^(talk) 05:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Your article and Wikipedia

Howdy! This seems to be an excellent article -- and rightfully belongs on Wikipedia. You can visit wikipedia here. You'll need to register on Wikipedia in order to create a new article. One registered, simply create a new article called "Sam Maestas" -- once registered and logged in, you can follow this link to create the article. Let me know if there's more I can do to help you. Please let me know when you have moved the article so I can delete the article from Wikinews. --Chiacomo ^(talk) 05:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
