Thunderhead

Well, since it seems there's so much debate going on about WN:IP, and since I've been really inactive as of late, I'd like to put myself up for reconfirmation. One of the main reasons that I am doing this is that I intend to become more active in the Wikinews community in the very near future, and I'd rather not retain rights that the community feels I should not have. I'm more than willing to answer any questions. For those of you who've known me since my first edit, I've certainly matured (some) in the time frame that I've been away, so hopefully, you'll see fit to keep me onboard. Regardless, I'm looking forward to working with all of you again. I can't wait to hear from you. (By the way, does anyone get on #wikinews or #wikinews-en anymore?) --Thunderhead 06:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Questions / Comments

• Comment #wikinews is indeed full of Wikinewsies most of the time. The main issue for any newbies since you were last active is being up-to-date on policy changes and the flagged revisions implementation. Some comment on your part about that would probably satisfy most people; including things like enabling some of the new gadgets and re-checking the applicable policies when carrying out a review. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:36, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Perhaps we should mass message all admins/users who haven't edited since FlaggedRevs came in, with a quick explanation of the changes and links to more info. Then if they do come back, they'll be up to speed. the wub "?!" 14:00, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

  That sounds like a good idea to me. Might be something to bring up at the water cooler? Tempodivalse [talk] 14:20, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

  I'm all for it - I'll drop in to IRC sometime and maybe someone can give me a crash course? --Thunderhead 20:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

  Done Just now in IRC. :) Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 21:04, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Votes

• very strong support. Welcome back. People are still on IRC. I'm on it quite regularly, Amgine, Brianmc and ShakataGaNai are on almost constantly. Several other people are on quite regularly as well. (However #wikinews-en has more or less died. We all party in #wikinews now a days). Bawolff ☺☻ 07:30, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
• Support Assuming you still know what's what with the policies - bearing in mind we have new things like FlaggedRevs - I see no reason you shouldn't keep the tools. Yeah, there's people in #wikinews and I never went in #wikinews-en anyway. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 13:16, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
• Support as I disagree with WN:IP. You're fully trusted as far as I'm concerned, no reason to remove privs. Tempodivalse [talk] 14:05, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
