Wikinews:Contribute!

Hello!

At some point in the past, all the folks around here were new to the site — just like you are now. We had to learn the ropes, the technical details like templates, and the rules for sourcing. So...Do not be discouraged! If you try for an article, and it is tagged or not-ready'd, ask about it. Do NOT take it personally as criticism. As a news site, we are all pressed for time in getting our articles up to standards. We appreciate your efforts here, which must meet policies.
