Hi there! I'm "the wub" (don't tell anyone, but that's not my real name!)
I'm an admin and long time user on the English Wikipedia, but I've recently rediscovered Wikinews after a prolonged absence. I'm now an Editor here, which means I review articles and changes before they are published, and an Administrator, who helps with site maintenance. I also like writing articles, especially on science. Science is interesting! (may contain swearing)
Here's a few useful sources for science news (mainly for my own reference):
