Wave back

I took a week or two off Wikinews, and that turned into months when other interesting tasks found me.

I still call by now and again to do some wikignoming and janitorial assistance, so the admin bit is kind of useful, and I still recall with affection both the community and what Wikinews taught me about writing.

However, I don't expect Wikinews to become a major occupation of mine again in the near future.

Please keep in touch.

voting

I note you voted on arbcom elections, therefore I am wondering if the world is ending. Voting is evil and all that :P Brian | (Talk) | ^{New Zealand Portal} 02:59, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

DPL thanks and proposals

Dear Amgine, first I would like to thank You very much for the excellent tool of DynamicPageList for Wikimedia. In Czech Wikinews we use it and after we had solved few issues we are very satisfied. I am not a fan of technical tools, anyway I think this is one of the few that are really useful. So thanks a lot.

And now a thing that I write for, but in fact - as I write it now, I believe it is less important than the thanks before: I would propose two small(?) enhancements of the DPL. First is a possibility to select and sort the articles randomly, second is a possibility to add the category sortkey to the list - as can be the date added through addfirstcategorydate. What do You think about such idea? And how should I propose it - through the buglist?

Once again thanks for Your work and also for Your possible answer. Okino (talk) 12:55, 6 January 2012 (UTC) (on cs.wn)

Note! Your privileges on English Wikinews have been reduced.

Under the Privilege expiry policy (enacted October 13, 2012) the rights held by your user account have been reduced due to inactivity, or lack of privilege use. You can view your user rights log here.

Point 4 of the Privilege expiry policy provides for fast-tracking reacquisition of privileges. We all understand that real-life commitments can severely curtail the level of commitment you can give to Wikinews; the privilege reduction is in no way intended as a reflection on your past work, or to imply you are unwelcome. The aim in curtailing privileges is to address security risks, and concern that a long period of inactivity means you may not be up-to-date with current policy and practices.
