User talk:Irishpunktom~enwikinews

Welcome

Irishpunktom, 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! --Mrmiscellanious 14:58, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi

I'm removing the article Hundreds of people gather in support of Mikhail Khodorkovsky from publication because you disputed it for NPOV. Could you please explain on the talk page how the article is NPOV? that would help us get it ready for publication. - Amgine/^talk 17:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

About article creation

Thanks very much for some great article starts!

I've removed them from the archive because only completed articles are published to the archive date. Articles which are still developing are on the main page in the Developing stories, so other editors can concentrate on expanding them and getting them ready for publication. You can add new articles to the Developing stories list either from the main page or from the article workspace as well. Thanks again for the contributions! - Amgine/^talk 17:41, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Liam Lawlor is a dead man

Hiya! I've made substantial changes to the above article. Please review our Neutral point of view policy, as well as our other policies and guidelines. Thanks! --Mrmiscellanious 14:58, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Editing long published articles

Perhaps we're wrong... I'm not even looking at the article, just the date. Published articles should not be edited... --Chiacomo ^(talk) 06:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm having serious problems reconcling our policy to archive (and not change) published articles with the fact that the article is inaccurate. We have published inaccurate or incorrect news before -- but we're trying to create an archival record of Wikinews publications as well... even when we goof. I will add a correction to the top of the article. --Chiacomo ^(talk) 06:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

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 Irishpunktom. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Irishpunktom~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
