Hi! Please refer to my userpage on Wikinews in Spanish, where I'm sysop and bureaucrat, and an active contributor; maybe I'll write an article here every now and then, but they need me more there.

Little piece of criticism: Despite all the valid reasons for WN:REV, this policy has hurt English Wikinews more than what it has helped (IMHO), reason why when the time came to vote for this policy in French and Spanish Wikinews, it was decided to trust their editors and allow them to publish without a peer review by an uninvolved editor.
