Welcome

Iamsam227, 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!--MarkTalk to me 21:53, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Accreditiation

It just might be that no one has noticed yet. You can always ask on the Water cooler :) DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 04:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

You passed the accreditation, so drop me an email with details to go on the wikinewsie website and how you want your wikinewsie email address set up. I'll then set up and send you details of the email account password, add you to the online calendar, and if you create an account on The Editors' blog I'll upgrade its status. Contact MessedRocker for press pass details. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 10:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
