There are always things to do on Wikinews:

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! And thank you so much for saving our main page :) TheFearow 08:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A pleasure, Matt :) Riana 08:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pavarotti Image[edit]

Thanks for sorting a local upload for us on this one! The deletion broke our main page, so I'm sure you can understand there were a few unhappy people. I thought there were tools to check where an image was in use off-commons, and that something like a sister project's main page using an image would slow down the process of deletion - even when incompatibly copywritten. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No trouble, Brian. There is indeed a CheckUsage tool but some feel that copyvios trump any other concerns, and I guess that image came under inspection today. Anyway, hope it's OK now :) Riana 12:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
