Well isn't that just peachy? --Blu Aardvark 21:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

PVJ's blocking of you wasn't justified, since it's common practice to not carry over history from other projects. Just promise me you'll behave. And now, the boilerplate:

Thanks. I intend to behave. --Blu Aardvark 21:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll be watching you. PVJ(Talk) 01:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

Blu Aardvark, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; 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: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
• 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! —this is messedrocker (talk) 21:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
