Welcome[edit]
CocoaZen, 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: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!
Also, I just got your message on my talk page. I've explained the links more fully on the article talk page while you were writing that (as you've probably noticed and read while I'm writing this...). Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 21:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, he sure looks notable enough to me. I've left it for you to get when you get time, since you're obviously quite interested in his story. I hope you really enjoy working on Wikinews! Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 22:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
