Request

Hey, you reviewed a few of my articles from a few years ago. Could you review Wikinews interviews Jim Hedges, U.S. Prohibition Party presidential candidate, I've been waiting for this for a while now. Thanks.--William S. Saturn (talk) 04:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I am not very active anymore ... but I am glad to see your interview has been published. Cheers, --SVTCobra 23:26, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

China plans to ban smoking in indoor public places

"Also banned is smoking in outdoor public areas where pedestrians pass." I thought long and hard how to phrase that first para. I guess I gave you the wrong impressions. Mattisse (talk) 23:09, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

I did see that ... but it the title was a little too inclusive. Thanks for the comment. Cheers and happy editing. --SVTCobra 23:39, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Request for reviewing and other assistance

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) 09:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikinews Writing contest 2013 is here. :) Please sign up to participate?

We've created the Wikinews:Writing contest 2013, which will start on April 1 and end on June 1. It is modeled on the successful 2010 contest. Unlike the previous version, points are available for people who conduct reviews. (With a University of Wollongong class currently contributing articles, extra assistance is appreciated at this time.) It presents a great incentive for you to renew your reviewing chops, contribute some original reporting not being done by the main stream media, and write some synthesis articles on topics that could use more attention. People should be around to review to prevent a backlog if you just want to write, and several reviewers have access to scoop to make it easier to review any original reporting you do. If you are interested in signing up, please do so on Wikinews:Writing contest 2013/entrants. There is at least one prize on offer for the winner along with the opportunity to earn some barn stars as a way of thanking you for your participation. :D --LauraHale (talk) 10:37, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
