User talk:Theshibboleth~enwikinews

Hello!

Theshibboleth~enwikinews, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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

• Wikinews:Neutral point of view
• Wikinews:Cite sources

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: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
• And of course, stories need writing!

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 ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! Dan100 (Talk) 14:05, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hello

Hey Theshibboleth! I'm in Orange County and go to college up north of L.A. in Santa Clarita! How's it going? Great work with your editing today! See you around, NGerda 07:23, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

IRC

I think I may have missed you in the Wikinews Chat. Try typing something in, and that will notify me that you are there.  :) -- NGerda 08:00, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, how's it going? I see you're doing some nice work this morning. :) I'm on IRC if you want to talk. -- NGerda 17:36, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Which side is inverted?

I would have to say.... the left side. :P -- NGerda 02:08, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Indeed. Theshibboleth 02:29, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Mwoohaha! I am brilliant. ;) -- NGerda 02:30, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Taking a short break from Wikinews

I've found out that school comes back into session significantly sooner than I had thought, and so I'm going to have to take a short break from my activities on Wikinews to finish all the summer work I am supposed to. Hopefully I'll be back in full force within a week. Theshibboleth 08:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I have finished the difficult part of my summer work and am going to begin writing new articles today. Theshibboleth 07:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

community service

Hi there, I saw what you wrote on Ngerda's page about working for Wikinews for school credits. At the moment I'm working on a project to help people build up a portfolio to prove what they have done and particularly to demonstrate the sort of skills that they would need as journalists. I wondered if you might like to be a guinea pig? I haven't uploaded anything yet but should be able to by the end of the week. So far I've based it mainly on the sort of skills you need to prove in British journalism training exams but it would also be useful to know what you have to demonstrate to your school?

Hey! I've put up a rough draft of the awards idea here, i'd be really pleased if you could have a look over it and see if it might be helpful, what might be added etc. It might be that the phrasing needs work, if so let me know! ClareWhite 16:20, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

hope you don't mind

I put category:Sandbox on you main page design. I hope you don't mind. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying to put all redesign and variations of things in category:Sandbox to keep them all together. I was refering to User:Theshibboleth/Main Page in the above comment. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

No assassination plot against US presidential candidate Barack Obama

Per WN:ARCHIVE, best not to rename/move an article 2 days after its initial {{publish}} date. Cirt (talk) 08:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Bush fires threaten neighborhoods in Brentwood, Los Angeles

I looked at Bush fires threaten neighborhoods in Brentwood, Los Angeles - sorry, but i don't think its ready to be published yet. see its talk page. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I hope you are doing OK in the area of the fire. I added sources and expanded the article a bit. If you have pictures, they would be good to be added. SriMesh | talk 23:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Theshibboleth. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Theshibboleth~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
