[edit] Welcome
AdamM, 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!
- 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:Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
- Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.
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
- Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
- 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! --Brian McNeil / talk 07:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Glasgow East
Maybe not. But I think it's better to have new news than old. At least it gives the impression that Wikinews is keeping up to date. (The story I overwrote as lead article 2 was a day old). But, hey, if an article catches your eye that you think should be there instead of the by-election, feel free to update Template:Lead article 2! Yours, Harris Morgan (talk) 23:12, 8 July 2008 (UTC).
[edit] Editor Promotion
I have promoted you to the Wikinews:Editor class, as I feel you can be trusted to mark revisions of articles as sighted (review). Please take a moment to read:
- Wikinews:Flagged revisions
- Wikinews:Reviewing articles
- {{Peer review}}
- {{Review}}
- Reviewed article version
- Flagged Revisions extension information, on MediaWiki
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask for help on my talk page, and thank you for contributing to Wikinews!

[edit] Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs dies aged 56
Policy prohibits self-sighting of substantive edits to published articles, and prohibits them altogether more than 24 hours after publication. I'm inclined not to quibble strongly over the stylistic edits you made, although they were more intrusive than we usually engage in past 24 hours (and if I'd made them within 24 hours I certainly wouldn't have self-sighted); but your removal of the word "yesterday" is clearly substantive and should not have been self-sighted. --Pi zero (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
