Welcome

The Mind's Eye, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these!

• Wikinews:Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
• Wikinews:Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced

Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:

• Wikinews:Introduction - overview of the site
• Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
• Wikinews:Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
• Wikinews:Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
• Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

• Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
• The front page lead articles often need updating
• Developing stories need finishing and publishing
• Discussions need your input
• Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
• And of course, stories need writing!

Hello

Reply given here. I apprecaite your concern and the note on my page! 77.127.253.51 19:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Please respond to my concerns about the recent title change here. I apologize in advance if my tone was a bit self-entertaining. 77.127.253.51 20:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

p.s. I changed the template usage some, hope it works for you as it works for me. 77.127.253.51 20:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Please actually take further discussion to the article's talk page, to have a more central place for discussion. Cirt (talk) 20:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I replied on the article's talk.[1] 77.127.253.51 22:49, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Replied again. 77.127.253.51 00:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

And again :D, glad I could persuade you some. 77.127.253.51 04:16, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Lead article change

Sorry didn't check when it was updated, just checked the story date, I'll be more careful. Hello32020 (talk) 16:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Obama speaks in Berlin

You published this when the article said he spoke yesterday, that should have been fixed first. Also, it referred to his Paris visit in future tense when that happened last Friday. I fixed these references and republished. --SVTCobra 22:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Feel Free

As I briefly stated in a round about way on one of the policy talk pages, feel free to disparage, adopt, or modify anything that I say. I don't claim to be right, I just want a discussion to happen, so that we get a halfway decent policy. I'll be busy for the next few days, so I won't be on much. :-) Gopher65_talk 15:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Just replied to your message on the proposals page. Sorry that took so long. Been busy. Still busy;). Gopher65_talk 23:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Heyo

I'm at about "70 percent happy" with the current state of the article I just placed as {{develop}} and I'm thinking that, considering the lack of information on the story, it's probably as close to a publish as they can get minus, possibly, a few categories. I wouldn't mind a review on it and despite our disagreements, I trust that discussion with you on concerns would be done in a calm and productive manner. Anyways, feel free to make mild to medium changes and to publish. I'll give it another look later today and discuss if there's anything that feels like it should be discussed. Cheerio, 77.127.253.51 16:42, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Plesure working with you. Cheerio, 77.127.253.51 00:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Bad timing

Is midnight here, heading to bed very shortly to suffer the excess temperatures. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 21:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Heyo

Left you a note on the Fatah article. Cheerio, 77.127.253.51 00:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Another comment.

p.s. I guess I agree that I neglected to mention that I had a majority part in releasing the previous article. Cheerio, 77.127.253.51 01:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Replied. I appreciate your concerns and think I responded accordingly even if we disagree. If you see my point, feel free to change the title a little. If no, then no hard feelings :) Cheerio, 77.127.253.51 02:45, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, If you have time, would you mind reviewing (and publishing if appropriate) Olympic highlights: August 9, 2008 Anonymous101^talk 15:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Georgia wants ceasefire in Ossetia war

I hope you didn;t mind me adding to Georgia wants ceasefire in Ossetia war. I'm sorry if you had prepared something else to add or me addding to the article caused you prblems. Anonymous101^talk 16:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, great. Anonymous101^talk 16:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

REe: Chad article

Thanks. Anonymous101^talk 06:57, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Award

I, Anonymous101^talk, hereby award The Mind's Eye the Wikinews Trophy for writing loads of articles, being really nice and helping me with lots of articles I have started.

Thank you so much for the award A101. The Mind's Eye (talk) 00:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

GAH!

2008 Olympics - Beijing, China
Flag	Country	G	S	B	TOT	Rank
	Trinidad&Tobago	0	1	0	1	42

• Template:2008 Beijing Olympic medal count

I got confused and reverted you. I accidentally deupdated medal numbers then restored. the WTF was aimed at my own self not you.

As for TT, I do not see what does not work.

-- Cat ^chi? 19:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Trindad/Tobago doesn't work so I had to change to Trinidad and Tobago. The Mind's Eye (talk) 02:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay and why doesn't "Trindad&Tobago" not work? It looks fine to me. -- Cat ^chi? 10:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I have no problem with the way it looks, but when you click the blue link it takes you to a uncreated article whereas Trinidad and Toabago takes you to the actual article. The Mind's Eye (talk) 14:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

A single redirect fixed the issue. Is this enough? I can create another extra optional parameter for this if you like but the template is very complicated as is. -- Cat ^chi? 21:03, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

That works fine for me. The Mind's Eye (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

United States Senator Lieberman to speak at Republican party convention

Done Anonymous101^talk 17:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for merging Bolt's article with the Olympic highlights article. MarkRobbins (talk) 16:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

re

I do mind because its a completely different story.--William Saturn (talk) 03:25, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

okay, thanks for understanding and sorry about the tone I used in the last message. The story is about Chet Edwards and how strange it is that he is actually being considered as a candidate. He's probably not going to be the pick but the fact that he is being considered is very newsworthy.--William Saturn (talk) 03:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

the newsweek article was written without confirmation from edwards himself, that happened today.--William Saturn (talk) 03:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

the title as it is is completely legitimate. it was reported by the associated press that edwards is on obama's shortlist. the quote by edwards is in the article.--William Saturn (talk) 03:42, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

good. it adds to the article. --William Saturn (talk) 03:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand your last edit.--William Saturn (talk) 04:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

privs

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.
