Welcome

Welcome to Wikinews!	Getting a head start as a Wikinews contributor Welcome! Thank you for joining Wikinews; we'd love for you to stick around and get more involved. To help you get started we have a short essay that will guide you through the process of writing your first full article. There are many other things you can do on the project, but its lifeblood is new, current, stories written neutrally. As you get more involved you will want to look into the key policies for the project and other discussions you can participate in, so keep this message on your collaboration page and refer to the other links in it if you have problems or want to learn more.

All Wikimedia projects have rules. Here are ours. Listed here are the official policies of the project, you may be referred to some of them if your early attempts at writing articles don't follow them. Don't let this discourage you, we all had to start somewhere. The rules and guides laid out here are intended to keep content to high standards and meet certain rules the Wikimedia Foundation applies to all projects. It may seem like a lot to read, but you do not have to go through it all in one sitting, or know them all before you can start contributing. Remember, you should enjoy contributing to the project. If you're really stuck come chat with the regulars. There's usually someone in chat who will be happy to help, but they may not respond instantly.

Places to go, people to meet Wiki projects work because a sense of community forms around the project. Although writing news is far more individualistic than contributing to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, people often need minor help with things like spelling and copyediting. If a story isn't too old you might be able to expand it, or if it is disputed you may be able to find some more sources and rescue it before it is listed for deletion. There are always discussions going on about how the site could be improved, and your input is of value. Check the links here to see where you can give input to the running of the Wikinews project.

Crimea userpage

restored and moved to your userspace. I have added category Crimea to the articles which were protected. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! -- А.Крымов (talk) 13:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

If there was more, or regular, news on the Crimea we'd have Portal:Crimea but the number of stories don't really justify it. Of course, if you want to have a go at setting it up you are welcome to. Look at some of the other portals, like Portal:Belgium to see how to set it up. You could then edit the main namespace redirect Crimea to point to the portal instead of the category. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't realy know if news about Crimea are interesting for english-spekers... For the time being the category will be enough, IMHO. -- А.Крымов (talk) 14:11, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
