Welcome[edit]
Yzmo, 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!

Thank you for uploading the svg version. You technically uploaded it to the wrong place, but I fixed it so everything should be in its proper place. (our upload system is quite confusing. Basically we have two separate upload systems, Commons: and local. If its at commons all wikimedia projects can use it (like wikipedia (in all languages), wikisource, wikibooks, etc), where as at the local upload, only us (the english wikinews) can use it. We generally use the local one for fair use images (which we can use but not some other projects due to complicated legal things i don't pretend to understand) and commons for general images, as well as images wich the copyright owners were nice and gave us permission to use. [so that everyone can use it]_). Anyways, thankyou for the upload, and happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
