• Question Have you read through WN:NPOV and WN:OR? --Pi zero (talk) 14:10, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Yes, I did. Will there be a test later? :) Raystorm (talk) 15:05, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
    • Yes, the scariest kind of test: putting it into practice in real situations. :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 15:17, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

• Comment wikinewsie.org email etc to follow - assuming user has email enabled on account. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:09, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

• Support Biased: She is assisting me in covering the IPC event. It would be a useful credential for her to have. She contributed to articles behind the scenes in ways that edits do not show. (See the Chilean one where she did the transcription but did not post and the Teresa Perales article. She also translated things for me on the fly in person at the Real Madrid games and watching television for the Pope story. --LauraHale (talk) 13:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
• Support When I was in the US, I was stuck on the Jorge Migueles interview due the my poor ability to translate a Spanish accent and she was a huge help in getting it done. She would be a great asset for the project with any events that happens within Spain or any other event where translation from Spanish to English is needed.

• Support Accreditation is the Wikinews community vouching for the reporter. I think Raystorm takes the project seriously and will do fine in the role. --Pi zero (talk) 15:17, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
• Support Don't see any reason to oppose. I'm sure Raystorm will make a good contribution to the project. -- CalF (talk) 23:41, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
