Hello! :-)
Currently I'm focusing on reviewing in the Australia, Oceania, Asia regions and in the topics of science, technology, and weather. If you have a story in one of these areas, get in touch now.
I like proposing new ideas even if they were not previously thoroughly tested, and developing software.
Writing
[edit]I have authored over 50 articles (including original reporting), and also I volunteer with copyediting and peer review.
Software development
[edit]Here are several software projects that I have developed or helped to test for Wikinews:
- The 'welcome a bit' programme to deliver you notifications of new drafts in your favourite topics
- Interactive news writing experiment (lbot), on live chat.
- My notes about original reporting: here and there. It is mostly about how to write an interview request by e-mail.
- Article writing app User:Gryllida/article-writing-v2-1 copy/paste to an .html file and open it in Firefox.
- In my local area there is a "Take three for the sea" principle referring to picking up three pieces of litter every time visiting a beach to reduce waste that enters the ocean. I try to use a similar approach for articles in Wikinews: leave feedback for at least one article (preferably around three) per day, and delete anandoned pages every day to clean up backlog. I try doing a review whenever possible. This is my goal. I also try to copyedit one story a week in detail to get it published -- by another reviewer -- if possible.
I also have other less documented pieces in my user space, including scripts and news article creation wizards; all sub-pages can be found here: Special:PrefixIndex/User:Gryllida.

Nick origin
[edit]The nick 'Gryllida' stands for true cricket, a family of insects, which is related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers. They make nice chirping sounds after the sunset. I use this name as my nick because of my positive attitude towards these insects and their sound.
