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! Doldrums 15:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article original reporting?[edit]

Thanks for creating Fatal Crash on New Jersey Route 17. However it does not seem to have any sources. I assumed it was original reporting and added {{original}} accordingly. If it was not first-hand journalism, please add sources. Also, if possible expand it a bit. PVJ (Talk) 16:04, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating Fatal Crash on New Jersey Route 17, we appreciate articles like this. This article appears to be what Wikinews calls original reporting. Wikinews articles must cite sources for all assertions they make. In the case of original reporting, you are the source. The way we usually deal with this is for you to place a comment on the article talk page, stating who you are, what your relationship is to the story you are covering, and describing the nature of the reporting (i.e. interviewing, taking notes, observing events, etc). You should also read Wikinews:Original reporting.

If you are intimately involved in the event being reported, it may be more appropriate for you to request an interview, rather than write an article.

Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Keep at it and try to get this article published, which can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort. - Borofkin 00:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed some categories on your user page, as they're for articles only . perhaps try Category:Live in United States. Bawolff 01:18, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
