Welcome[edit]

GW Simulations, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; 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
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!

Indian Rocket Orbits Israeli Spy Satellite[edit]

By some sheer coincidence, we both wrote an article on the same story at the same time. I beleived that your article was a bit too technical for those who may not understand some of the finer points of space travel, and did not cover the anticipated use of the satellite, so I "merged" your article with mine at Israeli spy satellite launched by Indian rocket. Feel free to continue to develop it - but just be careful with the technical details - what is appropriate at Wikipedia might not be appropriate here. All the best! --Skenmy^(t•c•w) 18:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've redirected the article that I created to the one which you created. --GW Simulations 22:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Girls influenced more than boys by sexy videoclips[edit]

Hi, thanks for reviewing my contribution. To answer your first question: yes, it is real. For the rest: what can I do to improve the article? Note that English is not my primary language, I hope to improve my English by using this site. Thanks Theo Assen - (talk) 22:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leads[edit]

I reverted your change because I believe the stretch across the screen was what was intended. There was originally (and in the version you changed to) a big gap of white space in the left column, which the revision I changed back to remedied.

c/e[edit]

Hi, I hope I may ask you something: Sometimes I see "c/e" in the summary of an edit, I noticed you have done that. What does that mean? Theo Assen - (talk) 08:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit. A minor cleanup to fix grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 09:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok, thanks! Theo Assen - (talk) 09:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 Taipei International Book Exhibition: A good traffic condition corrupted by a short-term rain[edit]

Still, no one want to C/E my article especially TIBE's, DAMN! (I'm really angey on no one copy-editing!) Even though I request anyone at IRC. This is a damn problem. But before publishing, please don't send it to Delete Request. Brock ^contact... 11:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I still think someone who want to abandon my articles, even though I ever got the TIBE official badge. Brock ^contact... 11:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your concerns, but I'm worried about abandonment of my articles, it caused me postponed my article preparation and schedule, if you linked the IRC channel, please help me because I'm currently in a bad mood and I want to optimize my feelings recent days. Regards. Brock ^contact... 15:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stink spreads across England[edit]

Hi! What is the problem with the title? Harris Morgan - (talk) 22:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Either a reference to the smell in the article, or changing the title to replace "stink" with "stagnant air" would be better. When I saw the title, I thought the article was going to be anti-British vandalism. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 23:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix[edit]

See here [1]. Thought you might be interested. This could be a good article. I am at work on Friday, and we will have to see about Saturday. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 02:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, didn't get your message until it was too late. If you need to contact me urgently, it is probably best to leave me a message at the English Wikipedia (now we have SUL, that should be easier). Please let me know if there is anything like this available again. Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 12:38, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your question[edit]

I answered your question posed to me in the 2008 ArbCom Elections. Thank you for your interest and please let me know if I can elaborate on something further. Cirt (talk) 18:53, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 19:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I am going to change my answer, but was there something about it that you did not like? If so, I'd like to hear it. You can put it on my talk page instead of the election page, if you like. --SVTCobra 01:45, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that community consensus is more important than foundation-set rules, and if consensus prevails, foundation policy should change. For this reason, I disagree with your point about striking down policy. Sorry. Good luck for the election. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 06:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
