[edit] Welcome

Jon Harald Søby, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these!

Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Deprifry|+T+ 18:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Deprify! ;-) (BTW, when welcoming people with template messages, you should use {{subst:hello}}. That way total noobs won't be confused when they edit the page.) Jon Harald Søby 18:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, yeah. But we aren't really using subst around here, although you're right it would probably be better. I guess we are just lazy ;). --Deprifry|+T+ 19:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Hehe. But another thing, it screws up section editing… Oh well. Jon Harald Søby 19:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Alright, you've conviced me. Had some problems with an anon who couldn't figure out how to edit his talk page because of it and I guess doing it the WP-way would avoid that. From now on, I shall use subst (All under the condition that I don't forget this by tommorow). --Deprifry|+T+ 19:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Checkuser premature?

Please note ongoing discussion and rescind your premature checkuser designation. Redman 22:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC) Also Wikinews:Water_cooler#Is_ArbCom_growing_in_responsibilities_without_any_discussion_or_voting_from_community.3F --Cspurrier 22:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Seems "wikistalking" is a reality. Redman 23:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Bit paranoid there aren't we :) I along with several other users watch the Wikinews RC IRC (#en.wikinews on irc.wikimedia.org) channel, using it you can see edits in almost real time. I read or at least glance, at almost all edits on Wikinews, as do many other users, especially when the subject line is as interesting as “Checkuser premature?”.--Cspurrier 23:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{delete}}

This template requires a parameter giving a reason, you should also leave the text unless it is libellous so the admin deleting it can check. Most admins probably ignore the template's extra parameter, but if it is not present the instructions say you should remove the tag. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay. My main priority was removing it from the main page, which I achieved by deleting all the other text, but deleting the {{publish}} template would probably suffice, I guess. Jon Harald Søby 13:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback?

I am curious, how did you do this if you are not an admin? I don't particularly mind, but am just curious. Cirt (talk) 23:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

It must have been global rollback, nevermind. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 00:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Oui, you are correct. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 16:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Ah okay thanks, and thank you for your help on the project. Cirt (talk) 19:26, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] wtf

While I'm sure your cry of "what the fuck?" was rhetorical, I'm going to answer it anyways :p. From the article: " "I knew it was wrong, I knew it was unlawful," said Nelson." should reveal all. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 22:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Yup, I understood that there was something like that involved – however, without that context, the title suggested that the detainee was killed illegally, as opposed to doing it the legal way, you know. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 16:42, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
