Brian is trying to take a wikibreak and will be back on Wikinews on December 20th. Most likely, however, Brian won't be able to keep away from Wikinews for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every once in a while anyway.

My beliefs and affiliations

Brian (formerly Brian New Zealand), or for short BNZ (yes, like the Bank), is a New Zealand Wikinewsie on Wikinews, and discovered Wikinews during the 2005 New Zealand General Election. In January 2006 I became a accredited reporter. And as of February 2006 I was created an Admin, and in 2007 I became a Bureaucrat -- please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if I can assist you in some way!

I was created an arbitrator on January 31, 2007. Please read about the Wikinews Arbitration Committee for more information about the final step in dispute resolution.

The reason why I work on Wikinews is because I love doing it. I love writing News, I love the community over here, when every I get sick of wikipedia, I can always retreat here. To paraphrase Messedrocker: Wikinews has the ability to be an important project, and I love it very much. Because of how everything is arranged and set up, while the Wikinews brand may not last forever, the fruit of its efforts will.

I advocate freedom of expressing beliefs and affiliations on userpages, only if we know our prejudices and biases can we work towards NPOV.

On Wikinews I am a accredited contributor, Adminstrator, Arbitrator, Checkuser, Oversight and Bureaucrat. Please Contact me if you need any of the actions done. I have accounts in many other Wikinews's.

On En, I'm an Admin. I have accounts in many other Wikipedias. Other than the Maori Wikipedia (where I am a admin), I am not likely to contribute heavily to any of those. However, I normally check many RC feeds daily, to watch for vandels etc.

I am a trusted user on Wikimedia Commons

I have an account at Meta I contribute things to the Wikinews pages, OTRS pages and some minor vandalism control.

I am also a member of the Wikimedia OTRS team
