[edit] Welcome

KTo288, 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!

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

[edit] Le Tour

Thanks for giving us that article, the regulars will - hopefully - beat it into shape and show you where you need to pick up on the style for here. All new contributors are welcome, and if you want to cover the entire tour then you'll likely get help here. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

If you poke into our history you'll find quite a few sporting events covered. Alongside that you'll find a rag-tag collection of other sporting events that Wikinews has managed to have articles on, but not totally do the business. We need people to cover sporting events "on faith". --Brian McNeil / talk 22:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MS Explorer

Thanks for correcting the article to the right ship, and beating the article into shape. Its not really important but the Zodiac mention can be found here, Zodiacs in this case I presume to mean RIBs which are used on this kind of cruise to put passengers ashore where tenders cannot. Thanks again and regards. KTo288 16:12, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah, it's a French brand-name for RIBs. Perhaps we can reinsert as RIBs not as Zodiacs. --SVTCobra 16:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Either that or wikilink the Zodiac mention so that readers who want to can find out in what context it is being used. According to this blog RIBs played a fairly major role in the rescue, being used to ferry and transfer passengers from the wooden lifeboats to the rescue ships. (I guess the Zodiacs were more maneuvrable and posed less of a hazard than trying to bring the lifeboats alongside the cruise ships.KTo288 13:10, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Santander

I had initially thought Santander excludes UK shareholders was ready for review, but was demoted back to develop over major style issues. I've fixed it as far as I'm able, need help in either getting it into shape for review, or pointers as to where it need to be fixed. Thanks.KTo288 (talk) 02:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Micheal Jackson

I have taken the liberty of Micheal Jackson's speculation, help required in Michael Jackson speculated to have converted to Islam with Thanks Azamishaque (talk) 06:08, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Speculated is better, there's nothing about the story in the mainstream news today. The more I think about it the more it seems like someone at the Sun came up with a good title and wrote a story around it. Probably the real story is how the other respectable news media picked up on the story. Still there may be a kernal of truth in it, as Michael Jackson has just made a deal out of court with the Bahraini prince who was sueing him. Some of the speculation about Michael Jackson's conversion is that he did so to curry favour with the prince.KTo288 (talk) 13:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Hi,

I redirected it as your story was significantly better, I really should have looked at recent changes before starting the article.

If you want, feel free to add any information from my article, but at the moment I am reviewing your article instead of concentrating on adding info, as I think it is important to get an article out on the subject.

Thanks,

[edit] Bombing of Peshawar Pearl Continental Hotel in Pakistan kills 18

Hello, see you made a c/e to this article. Can you confirm if the hotel is in the "high season". Cannot find a direct reference to it in the citations. With a change in wording, or if you can show me where in the cites, this can be found, the article should be good to go, and pass review. Thanks for the other update. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 18:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Removed possibly speculative material, hope it passes review now. Too important an article to lose because of such a minor thing. KTo288 (talk) 21:25, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide sur l'article des travailleurs de JLG. ;) user:Tonneins 19:55, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

No need for thanks, the pleasure was mine, apologies for not getting it done in a timely fashion, but something unexpected came up during the weekend. (Sorry but I read French better then I can write it.)KTo288 (talk) 21:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Nigerian victory marred by deaths in custody

Hi, this is a good article but unfortunately as the newest news is now 4 days old it's unpublishable as stale. If you'd moved it to review on August 1 it would have been fine. Could you add any more recent development? --Killing Vector (talk) 16:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Added two new sources and latest new which is from today.KTo288 (talk) 17:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Yipee. Thanks my first barnstar ever, on any wiki project. Truth be told, I've always wanted one.KTo288 (talk) 21:14, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A note on citing sources

Though it is perhaps not explicitly stated in policy, we have a long tradition of just listing the author's name. There is no need to organize them in a surname, forename fashion. Thanks for your contributions, they've been great. Cheers, --SVTCobra 00:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for putting me right on that, and the encouragement and scrutinising by everybody. Thanks to you all.KTo288 (talk) 10:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
