4 days t'll the 14th!
Hi I'm Bawolff. I read Wikinews a lot and it is now my hompage (now an admin). You can also find me on wikipedia at w:user:bawolff and pretty much every other wikimedia project [this is my global username]. My first (non-registered) edit I can remember is on Template talk:Ping. Or actually, on second though I don't think it is. (Well its me, but I'm not sure if its my first edit). Umm, what else. I hang out on #wikinews and #wikinews-en sometimes. I tend to do stuff in the background instead of writing articles. I'm also fairly good with templates, as well as javascript/css, and maintain some of the gadgets, and some other js used on the site. If theres anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask.
My picture of the week
This is just some picture I found, which I thought was cool (note: these are other people's pictures. trust me, i'm not that good). Full list
Oh look, I got lazy and stopped picking pictures. See other picts I like.

Random articles written by other people I like
Really cool articles from an old featured list (that all got demoted, but i felt the list should be saved somewhere so i put it on my userpage. Again, please note none of these articles are mine, I just think they're mostly well written):
Major explosions at UK oil depot

To do list
Things to do if i run out of things to do (If you're looking for something to do, don't hesitate to do something on this list)
- Make the help namespace not suck (I think we can learn from the wikipedia usability survey, as we suffer from many of the same problems, if not more so than 'pedia)
- Change the meta template {{Country Infobox}} so it accepts an orientatiion paramater (so that a whole host of infoboxes could easily become horizontal). Prefereably intergrate with the tab box
- Try and make the whole overlapping tab thing work.
- Finish MediaWiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js
- Import Twinkle to wikinews
- Investigate the possibility of polls
- take advice from this insightful wc post
Wikinews news
- meta:Global sysops. Proposal to have people who are sysops (Admins) on all small wikis to help out if local admins overburdened. (we are not a small wiki, so doesn't overly affect us). Go vote on meta.
- No google redirect? Don't panic, we now use googlehack instead. Easy Peer review will no longer generate redirects, and thats ok.
- Wikinews is holding a writing contest starting on January 25. Sign up! Newbies welcomed and encouraged.
- Too lazy to replace {{developing}} with {{review}}? Now we have a button to magically do it for you on {{develop}}.
- Google news now indexes us sort of. Please do a hard refresh before reviewing your next article.
- {{topicon}} should now make icons that go by the title bar (like on FA articles), that work with vector/all skins.
- We're now using vector, and the enhanced edit toolbar!
- Users who come directly to Wikinews from Wikipedia, and edit something immediately (That is not old), get {{Editintro from wikipedia}} while editing. Users who edit an old article get {{Editintro notcurrent}}.
- The number of articles on the main rss feed has been shortened. If you don't like this change, please raise a fuss.
- If you are using {{Latest news}} in a main page re-design, you have to switch to using {{latest news/old}} as {{latest news}} has changed significantly.
- [edit lead] links on main page is now invisible to anons.
- Easy Peer review gadget now bumps {{date}} automatically
- Bugs (affecting Wikinews): useful categories, old request to switch to dpl2, RSS feed extension, DEFAULTSORTKET: causes articles to go to top of DPLs, Blanking page causes article to be most recently published
- Things needing doing:
