Ari S., 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!
- 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:

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

- Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
- 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! --Chiacomo (talk) 03:09, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Welcome![edit]
Again, welcome to Wikinews! I'm so glad you've decided to join the writing contest. Let me know if I can assist you in any way or answer any question. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:10, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Advice[edit]
Neat to know that you joined for the competition, good to see it can be used for recruitment. Avoid Capitalizing Every Word In A Headline. Only capitalise the first word in a headline, and proper names like Saddam, Microsoft, and Canada. -- user:zanimum
Woah There[edit]
"I think that I'm a pretty skilled writer" - Ari S. After reading Roberts Avoids Tough Issues in Hearing, no offence, but I'm not so sure you're a very skilled reporter. Heard of NPOV yet? This isn't an editorial site. DardanAeneas 01:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
