Thanks![edit]
Thank you for your productive and helpful edits on Wikinews. We really appreciate what you've done. Wikinews needs more good editors like yourself; please consider getting an account! We'd be very happy to have you. Δενδοδγε t\c 18:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note. What does it involve? What do I get for getting an account? 99.190.81.234 (talk) 18:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- You get a personal username, so you can be credited for your contributions without exposing your IP address, and can be granted more user rights (such as the ability to review or even delete pages) as you gain the community's trust.

- What additional identity/security protection is there? What does "credited" mean, does it have value beyond tracking? What does the "User Right" of reviewing an page mean? Is there a list of other potential "User Rights"? 99.190.81.234 (talk) 19:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Now looking at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Why_create_an_account%3F , so maybe I'll 'talk' later.
- It simply means that your chosen username will appear in the page history, instead of your IP address. Pages have to be reviewed before appearing on the main page, and on our various feeds (including Google News). The most common user rights are reviewer (which allows you to review a page), administrator (which grants a user the power to delete pages, block users, etc.), and bureaucrats (who can grant rights to other users based on community consensus). Other rights, such as CheckUser and oversighter, are less common and more bureaucratic, so I won't go into those now. If you take a look at our policy pages, you will soon familiarise yourself with all our workings. Δενδοδγε t\c 19:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
