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 returned to Wikinews after a prolonged absence. I'm an Editor here, which means I review articles and changes before they are published.
Useful Wikinews links for my reference:
