Greetings, I'm HJ Mitchell (or just HJ). I'm not the most active contributor here, but I try to do what I can. I'm an administrator over at the [[w:|English Wikipedia]] <small>[[w:User:HJ Mitchell|my userpage over there]]</small> and a lot of my time is spent there, often dealing with current events. It's not terribly often that I a) find a story interesting enough to write about that b) hasn't already been written about so I tend to be limited to interwiki links- adding links here to content on enwiki and adding links there to content here and, since I was granted [[WN:Reviewer|reviewer]] rights, publishing and reviewing articles as well as the odd bit of copyediting. I have written a few articles, though and they're listed below. I'll shut up now, because I'm not the most interesting person in the world, but if I screw up, do let me know! :) [[User:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">'''HJ Mitchell'''</font>]] [[User_Talk:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Navy" face= "Times New Roman">Penny for your thoughts? </font>]]


<center>It is with some regret that I have decided to retire from this project for the time being. Unfortunately, writing news seems to have become a secondary goal to having the last word in the latest drama and the community spirit for which I once admired ''Wikinews'' seems to have fallen apart. Thus, my enthusiasm for the project has reduced to the extent that I'm no longer happy contributing here. For anyone who might wish to contact me, my email is enabled and my [[w:User talk:HJ Mitchell|Wikipedia talk page]] is open to all. I hope the project recovers from the self-destructive cycle it has fallen into and, if it does, I may resume editing here.

It is with some regret that I have decided to retire from this project for the time being. Unfortunately, writing news seems to have become a secondary goal to having the last word in the latest drama and the community spirit for which I once admired Wikinews seems to have fallen apart. Thus, my enthusiasm for the project has reduced to the extent that I'm no longer happy contributing here. For anyone who might wish to contact me, my email is enabled and my Wikipedia talk page is open to all. I hope the project recovers from the self-destructive cycle it has fallen into and, if it does, I may resume editing here. Until then, I owe a debt of gratitude to those editors who have made my overall experience here a pleasant one including, but not limited to, Blood Red Sandmand, Tempo, Mikemoral, Diego and C628.
