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
• 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!

Thanks

Thanks for fixing up that weird one on date categories being misplaced, I didn't think of the approach you took and expected various <includeonly> type stuff to fix it. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 21:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Subst and manually removing the cat is the only way I know of to deal with it. Includeonly would still include it because, as far as MediaWiki is concerned there is no difference between this inclusion and any other. A nocat tag would be useful in this case., we should bug the devs to add this :). BTW this ip is sometimes me when I am too lazy to log in and am at school--Cspurrier 21:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
