Welcome[edit]

Bhig3~enwikinews, 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:

Wikinews:Introduction - overview of the site
Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
Wikinews:Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
Wikinews:Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
The front page lead articles often need updating
Developing stories need finishing and publishing
Discussions need your input
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!Cirt - (talk) 09:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Did you take this photo Image:Austinmarch15.png yourself? If so, you should put a license tag on it, or else it will get deleted. Cirt - (talk) 09:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information, I did not know that. I am trying to change it, but I can't find how to edit that aspect of the picture, I'm just going to re-upload it under a different name and give it the proper information.

Why don't you upload it instead to Wikimedia Commons? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page - for now you could temporarily just put it into this category: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2008-03_%22Anonymous%22_anti-Scientology_protests Cirt - (talk) 18:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scientology article[edit]

Hi there Bhig3,
Thanks for your contributions to Scientology protest group celebrates founder's birthday worldwide. You may or may not be aware that the majority of contributions made after 48 hours of publication will be reverted as Wikinews wants to show the news as it has happened at the time, to allow it to build an archive showing peoples knowledge of the event at the time. Unfortunately, you added to Scientology protest group celebrates founder's birthday worldwide over 48 hours after the articles creation, so those edits have now been reverted. For more information on this policy please ask me at my talk page. Thanks,
Anonymous101.

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bhig3. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bhig3~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
