[edit] Welcome

Leila Monaghan, 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:

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

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! --SVTCobra 02:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to discourage you, but Wyoming's changing weather cannot be published "as is". Please check out some of the links above or ask for help. --SVTCobra 02:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Questions for Cobra

Have looked over various of the hints but still have questions.

Rename for style--Do you have a suggestion for a different name? Does the current title imply some thing that this blurb is not, like global warming? ) Edit for style--How? It is perhaps a bit colloquial, but I always like news that has a distinctive voice to it. Expand to include more information/Refocus on a news event. WHAT!!! Three lines aren't enough!! if I have time, I will try to connect this in with general global warming and how the specifics of climate change are affecting weather day to day. Add categories--How do I add categories? add original reporting notes--hmm, like "I went outside my door and took a picture and have seen the snow melt over the last couple of weeks." Where do these go?

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikinews pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four w:tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the w:Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

[edit] NASA: Old Arctic sea ice continues to melt

I was the one who published it. Most of it came from NASA. I am generally the science, environment and weather etc person. I am in Buffalo, NY. I would love to start a series and what not...where should we begin? DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 17:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
