  • Name: Paul Grundman
  • Location: Los Angeles, Ca
  • Areas of interest: Mastering, Aerospace, Recording Engineering, Entertainment, Music, Music Business
  • Reason: Wikinews is more delivering of the facts that are perceived by the reporter/contributer instead of being sponsor controlled or otherwise influenced content. I am interested in contributing and focussing on music, music business, technique , events in hollywood... after all I am here in the "heart" of hollywood at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Also, I have a love of sciences and aerospace. I am interested for example , in covering one of the last shuttle landings that I hope will be at Edwards. Of course, to also attend other events in the entertainment industry locally or abroad.
  • Accomplishments: I have written for EQ magazine, they have not published my work online, only in print. EQ covers artists, recording techniques, and reviews. I've interviewed George Duke, wrote pro tools how to's, philosophy on recording, mic technique styles used by The Doors, and others..I have had about 6 articles published.

  • Thank You for responding... I totally agree actually. I am contributing in the science and space now and will continue to do so with great respect to the WikiWorld. I reached out to Nicholas Gerda whom was very helpful and informative. However, I do ask if you have any tips about what will accelerate my articles in being complete, or if you see I have neglected to submit a certain way that is making the news become stale, to please email me... or yell really loudly at the monitor so I can hear you. The code use is new to me so ... be gentle ;)

Thank you and , can't wait for round 2.

Best

Paul

  • Have you attempted to request an interview without the accreditation? What do you plan on using it for past the cyberbullying event? Are you a photographer? You list yourself as "Technology", have you written or contributed to technology-related stories? Would you consider do live Twitter-streams for unfolding stories? terinjokes | Talk 22:25, 16 April 2010 (UTC)reply
    • Yea, I requested interviews with several congressmen and their press secretaries say I need credentials. At the conference I plan to take notes on what people talk about. I am not a photographer but I can always buy a camera or we could use stock photos as a last resort. Admittedly I have not written any technology articles (at least here) due to news worthiness. Also, I would totally consider doing live twitter streams, it would keep people in the loop and attract more people to wikinews. Irunongames•play 22:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)reply

  • weak oppose. I would like to see other languages formulate accreditation policies, but without a well-established community that has cross-wiki language links to here, there is no way to judge if someone is suitable for accreditation, appropriately trustworthy, or vouched for by someone from the Tamil Wikinews that is well-known to people here. -- Brian McNeil (alt. account) /alt-talk • main talk 19:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)reply
  • oppose. We have discussed this in Tamil Wikimedia community. The Tamil Wikinews project is in its very early stage. This is too early to consider such request for anyone. We would like the community to grow a bit and then draft procedures and qualifications for such requests as a policy decision. User: Mahir has also expressed his willingness to withdraw this request. Thanks--Ravidreams (talk) 11:20, 7 April 2010 (UTC)reply
  • Oppose for the same reason I opposed Ezarate below; we're just not in position to determine whether or not you'd make a good accredited reporter as practically nobody here speaks Tamil. Perhaps the Tamil Wikinews should consider implementing its own accreditation process instead of requesting it here. Tempodivalse [talk] 13:22, 7 April 2010 (UTC)reply

  • Oppose Not involved here in Wikinews (as far as I can see on your contributions). I know you edit on the Spanish one, if you specify it, then I'll support you. --Diego Grez let's talk 21:03, 3 April 2010 (UTC)reply
    Support But please edit here too! Yo edito en ambas :-) --Diego Grez let's talk 21:09, 3 April 2010 (UTC)reply
  • Weak oppose for now. I can't decide whether I think you should be accredited because I'm not familiar with you or your contributions - as you haven't contributed here. If I understand properly, you want the accreditation for work on other another language edition of Wikinews, but we're not really in position to make a proper assessment of your contributions. Please don't think that this is a personal reflection on you, I'm sure you're a very helpful user at Wikinoticas, but I just don't know enough about you to consider supporting. Perhaps es.wikinews should consider coming up with its own accreditation policies instead of coming here to request it? Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 21:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)reply
  • Comment I'm requesting here because on eswiki doesn't exists this policy--Ezarate (talk) 22:08, 3 April 2010 (UTC)reply
    Perhaps you can propose that over on es.wikinews as Temodivalse suggested. --Mikemoral♪♫ 22:25, 3 April 2010 (UTC)reply
  • Support Seems to be a productive contributor at esWikinoticias. Benny the mascot (talk) 16:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)reply
  • Strong oppose the user doesn't write a good news in es.wikinews. His articles doesn't have a good complexity to be an article and he writes many histories about his town (Tandil, Argentina) and don't write about anothers news in anther places on the Earth. The user doesn't have a "community life" and sometimes have a problem with identificate a news from a Wikipedia's article. Sorry for Ezarate, but a news reporter acredited must be a excelent reporter and not only a good writer of news (perhaps this request, shows him that is a good user but doesn't a news writer). To english community, please sorry for my poor english level, because I'm a basic student of english. Any question, please make in my talk@es.wikinews Superzerocool (talk) 16:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)reply

Closed as promoted temporarily, for a week. --Diego Grez return fire 23:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC)reply
  • Name: Matthew Edwards
  • Location: Los Angeles County, California
  • Areas of interest: Entertainment, sport, culture, arts
  • Reason: I understand that this request is likely to be denied, and that is fine, but I didn't want myself or Wikinews to miss the opportunity, so... On Friday of this week (21 May), the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Tour_of_California will be holding its sixth stage in my home town. My father-in-law is working security at the event, and they are holding a press conference at the start and finish of the stage. I have access to the conference. I know also that the procedure takes longer than two days, and if this request cannot be sped up for special circumstances, please archive it on Friday as the opportunity will have obviously passed. Thank you
  • Accomplishments: Heh, none. This would be the first work I carry out for the project.

  • Support per BRS. Drop me an email if you need an "Editor-in-Chief" to send a request for access to the press enclosure. ;-) We don't as-yet have physical credentials. That is, slowly, being schemed towards. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC)reply
