Re: Templates

Hi! Welcome! Wikinews is a very different project to Wikipedia, and as such we have our own conventions, Templates, and whatnot. I ask what specific template you were looking for? I might be able to point you in the direction of a similar template or otherwise advise you! As for user edit counts, you will be able to find it using this tool. I'll send you a welcome message below, hopefully it will be able to help you out. --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 19:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome

LADodgersAngelsfan, 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! --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 19:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
