User:Dendodge

From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!

Hello. I am Dendodge, a user from England. My wiki career began over at the English Wikipedia (My userpage there), and I was introduced to Wikinews in late 2008 through my involvement with Wikivoices (though my account was created earlier as a result of unified login).

I am an administrator on this project, since 7 November 2009, and gained accreditation^(verify) on 20 November 2009. My accreditation details can be found below.

I am a published journalist in real life, and editor-in-chief of my school magazine. This means I have official press credentials, making it easier for me to access any events should I ever choose to dabble in original reporting.

I maintain a blog as a soapbox for my political and cultural opinions. While you will probably find it incredibly boring, if you are interested it can be found at dendodge.blogspot.com.
