Welcome

GreenReaper, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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! --Brian McNeil / ^talk 20:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

fur story

How does it qualify as an interview? Bawolff ☺☻ 03:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

See this revision - Zanimum was the person who decided to add that to the article. I'm not a regular at Wikinews, so I don't know what qualifies as an interview. It wasn't exactly one-on-one, but there were more board members than people attending the meeting. GreenReaper 04:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Well that's slightly pushing it, but I think its okay. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

p.s. do you want me to revert the crap on this page? Bawolff ☺☻ 03:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

It is history. Let it remain. :-) GreenReaper 04:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

ok. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Gamespy story

I give up, you find the talk page with my comment on it and move it to match the current article. Oh, and you've created a slew of redirects that need fixed too. :-) --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I did! You can delete the redirects if you want, since it's not been published. GreenReaper 22:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I went to recent changes after posting the above comment and saw you were already on the case. We're not as anal as Wikipedia about redirects, so it's more a case of the dreadful ones you list on WN:ALERT, the rest are at the mercy of our merry band of rouge admins. ;-) --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Original Reporting

I hereby award the Original Reporting Barnstar to GreenReaper for his utterly fantastic work on this article --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 20:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

RE Related

Normally we don't add related news to the older articles. Or maybe I misunderstood your question? DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

No, that was my meaning; if that's not what Wikinews does, then fair enough. I figured it made as much sense as having the old stories linked in the new ones, since people are just as likely to start reading the oldest as they are the newest - perhaps more so, as that one is featured.
