Wikinews Trophy

I, Anonymous101^talk, hereby award James Pain the Wikinews Trophy for your excellent audio recordings.

Sony recalls 440,000 laptops due to wiring faults Audio

Just as an FYI. You had a double of the first sentence of the article, in the audio. I've clipped it out and uploaded a new version. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 06:15, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

Ha, like your userpage! Dotty••|☎ 14:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Hehe, I've mentioned you at the bottom left. I almost had the ability to be creative but then I saw your page and thought feck it and just copyed and pasted. --James Pain (talk) 15:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Lol, it said you awesomified it & then I saw it! Anyways, it's not my original design, so all good. The beauties of copyleft. :,) See you around. Dotty••|☎ 16:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar!

I award you the Voice Barnstar for your great voice and the fact you let the whole world hear it by contributing it to many articles :D Irunongames play 18:44, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Yup, really good work on the audio. I'll have to do another Thailand story to give you some tongue-twister names. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:27, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Uhm hi Queen Thando (talk) 21:06, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

news brief pages

Great work with the audio stuff. I was just wondering if you could add <noinclude>[[Category:Brief|<whatever the date is>]]</noinclude> To the bottom of each News Brief: date page you make. That way they aren't mis-identified as developing stories in Wikinews:Newsroom. Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

p.s. I made some changes to the date category code, so that the categories recognize news briefs with names of [[News briefs:<date>]] (lowercase b and no space after the colon) as well as [[News Briefs: <date>]] (upercase B and space after colon). Hopefully that will make the categories work more like they should. Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Nice one, thank you very much. Edit the code in the news briefs as much as you want, what I do each day is just copy and paste it into the next days page, replace the script text and changing the dates. Again thanks --James Pain (talk) 22:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Hows it going?

Hi James, Just wondering whether you think you're going to be able to keep up with the audio?    Tris  

I will, I've just cleared up college and I was planning on restarting any time from tonight and friday. Down side is that I'll be away for a week (next week) so there'll be another gap in audio. --James Pain (talk) 20:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem, just wondering! I would help if I had a microphone-maybe one day!    Tris   20:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Audio News

I can help while you are away (I did this before) but I never found out how you can make it so when you post a new audio file the previous file will show in the archive list. How do you do this? Do you do it manually or what? Thanks. 14:20, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Andimahony —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andimahony (talk • contribs)

Recent articles with dual audio templates

Hi James Pain. Some articles that you have recently edited for audio have both the {{Article-audiobrief}} and {{Audio box 2}} templates. I believe they should have one or the other, not both. Cheers, --SVTCobra 01:34, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Here are some examples: Workers at England wind turbine plant stage occupation and Black spot on Jupiter is impact site, says NASA. Cheers, --SVTCobra 01:37, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

New news reader

Hi James, I would really love to be part of the audio news, reading that is, how can I get involved? Please email at ajwatson82@hotmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ajwatson82 (talk • contribs)

Your support for my RFA

I would like to thank you for supporting my successful RFA and for your confidence in me. I look forward to serving further the English Wikinews community in this new capacity. I shall take the new tasks required of an administrator on board step by step and will make the utmost effort to fulfil the role to the best of my abilities. Kind regards Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 12:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding IRC

While I was eating, and when I came back, everyone but me was kicked out. Is this just me or did it happen to you? ConCompS (talk) 01:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

How to start Wikinews audio in another language

Hai James Pain, I want to ask you, how do I start this audio to Wikinews in Malay?

Replied to on your talk page. --James Pain (talk) 14:41, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikivoices

Have you had any progess on the Wikivoices episode from just before Christmas? No worries if not, just interested to listen!    Tris   20:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh crap, I didn't realise people were still waiting on that. I'll upload it somewhere this week. --James Pain (talk) 21:01, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Awesome. Can you ping me when you do in case I don't notice. Thanks!    Tris   12:27, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Canadian track and field coach Charlie Francis dies at age 61

Thank you for reviewing the article. Just to let you know that i have edited the article about the athletes trained and the first source (The Guardian) does mention the cause of death being announced by his family.

Regards, Chandlerjoeyross (talk) 14:00, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

That Guardian fact must have slipped by me. Put it up for review again and I'll give it another look through. --James Pain (talk) 14:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Five hundred Euro note withdrawn from sale in UK

Hey, thanks for your review. If you have a moment, I wonder if you'd take a look at my comments and share your thoughts. Much obliged, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Done--James Pain (talk) 17:11, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your help! It's much appreciated. Now... back to those pesky vandals! :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Heh, no problem. Keep up the good work --James Pain (talk) 18:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Copyvios

Hey, just wondering what the practice is here with copyright violations. I'm still getting used to a lot of things here- on WP I would have zapped "Internationally recognized educational journals restricted in Russia" on sight. Thanks in advance, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:56, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Just add {{copyvio|1=}} :) --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 19:58, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

What he said ^^^. There are numerous pages on how we handle stuff, if you dig around enough, you'll find what you need to know. --James Pain (talk) 11:03, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

We do also have the option to zap copyvios straight off. I did it yesterday because the story in question (Air India disaster) was obviously likely to get a ful write-up without any need to keep the copyvio hanging around. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 11:18, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Busy elsewhere? We understand, but this is a notice of privilege expiry!

Note! Your privileges on English Wikinews have been reduced.

Under the Privilege expiry policy (enacted October 13, 2012) the rights held by your user account have been reduced due to inactivity, or lack of privilege use. You can view your user rights log here.

Point 4 of the Privilege expiry policy provides for fast-tracking reacquisition of privileges. We all understand that real-life commitments can severely curtail the level of commitment you can give to Wikinews; the privilege reduction is in no way intended as a reflection on your past work, or to imply you are unwelcome. The aim in curtailing privileges is to address security risks, and concern that a long period of inactivity means you may not be up-to-date with current policy and practices.

Welcome back, James Pain :-)

Seeing you back is unbelievably encouraging. Thanks!

I've added a couple notes to the talk page, including link to a page with heaps of photos about it at Commons. --Gryllida (talk) 22:35, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
