Request for reviewing and other assistance [edit]
Hi. Next week is the start of the IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships and two Wikinewies will be attending to cover the para-alpine skiing ahead of the 2014 Winter Paralympics . This is part of an effort outlined at Wikinews:IPC Alpine Ski World Championships. Immediately following this event, there will be a Meetup in Barcelona where Wikinews, the Paralympics and efforts to similar sport coverage will be discussed. At the moment, there are only two active reviewers on a daily basis. Demonstrating an ability to get reviews for these types of events done quickly is important for Wikinews credibility and gaining access to these types of events. I would really appreciate it if you could sign up on the IPC World Championship page to review, promote articles published during this period, assist in translating these articles into another language or attend the meetup in Barcelona. Thanks. --LauraHale (talk) 09:31, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Police charge man over fatal hit and run in Birmingham, UK [edit]
Managed to publish, but had to rip out a lot from the last paragraph because by the time I finally got to it, the fourth source was no longer available. There may be a moral there about that type of alert. --Pi zero (talk) 23:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Apologies [edit]
I apologize for my overly critical reviews. Yesterday was a bit stressful reviewing wise, and I did not quite put it away when I was working on your articles. (At the same time, I am trying to do original reporting, and experiencing my own frustrations with that, which make it probably even more wise to stay away from reviewing unless an article is an obvious not ready instead of could be made ready if the reviewer spent an hour or so working on it. pi zero spends a lot of time with mine fixing those little issues that take time and I can appreciate how well he does that. The lack of time and lack of reviewers occasionally leads to misplaced crankiness.) Again, I am sincerely sorry for the overly critical reviews where I took out other frustrations on your articles. --LauraHale (talk) 16:44, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Semi-retirement [edit]
Was surprised to see you'd semi-retired. I hope it hasn't been caused by something bad that's happened in your life. We'll all miss you here. --Pi zero (talk) 02:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
