About your story: we need sources, or you need to follow the guidelines for Wikinews:Original reporting.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 00:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Please read WN:NPOV and turn this story around into a more neutral version. Removing cleanup notices without actually adressing concerns of other editors is bad behaviour and could result in blocking per WN:3RR (just warning you). I think the story needs more background.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Welcome[edit]
BeauWorsham, 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: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
- If you're interested in audio recordings, Audio Wikinews could always use more contributers
- 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!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 00:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
