Welcome[edit]
Kim Bruning, 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! → CGorman (Talk) 7 July 2005 12:01 (UTC)
About our referencing style[edit]
Hi, and welcome to Wikinews! It's great to see your contributions.
I wanted to let you know that we typically don't use the referencing style that you've used on Student arrested over "art" shirt with exposed wiring at Boston Airport. The <ref> tags are very useful on Wikipedia, but generally aren't used here. I'm not sure why that is (possibly stylistic) but generally, we simply list sources at the bottom of an article.
Feel free to check out the edits I made to the article to see how I used our existing system.
Thanks, and I hope you stay! irid t i e 18:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I moved Kim Bruning to User:Kim Bruning/Kim Bruning. Just remember next time to put all your "fun" pages in your userspace. Happy editing, —FellowWiki Newsie 18:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- I was harmonizing my user pages, and noticed I'd made a mistake on wikinews. But when I went to move the page, it was already gone! The speed at which that kind of thing happens on a healthy wiki still amazes me after so much time. :-) Than you very much! --Kim Bruning 19:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- A lot of people from Wikipedia tend to say that about Wikinews :) —FellowWiki Newsie 19:32, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
