Thanks
Please check to see if Jumping Junos! is your article? I moved it there 'cuz you're only supposed to put a link in the Developing articles template. Ask me if I can help more! - Amgine 04:00, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Jumping Junos
On Wikinews we don't sign articles because, before very long, the article will be edited by many people beyond the original contributor. And, take a deep breath, having others mercilessly edit "your" article sometimes isn't much fun. But the article isn't just yours; now that it's published it is in the public domain, and will grow and change over the next hours, days.

By the way, you're doing great! a great article, and you're learning fast! Check out some of the links above, if you have time, and ask specific questions. And welcome to the biz - You're a reporter! - Amgine 04:14, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I've requested an account for the JunoAwards pressroom. If I get it (maybe-maybenot) I'll give it to you (assuming you want it), so we can see what resources they make available to press. - Amgine 04:31, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * There, you see? You're a quick study. Good think if you're in a journalism course.
 * As for getting your article published, well, I did it. You had accidentally over-written a template on the front page; it happens so don't feel bad. I just copied what you did to a new article, and restored the original text. Mediawiki (the software we're using) is not designed to prevent mistakes, but to make them easy to recover from. So go ahead and do things, be bold!, you probably won't hurt anything.
 * To create a local bureau for your province is pretty easy, but keeping it up to date is more difficult. You might want to get into the swing of things first. On the other hand, if you invite your class colleagues here it could make a great project. We'd be glad to host your class's news projects, so long as everyone knows this is a public domain site. In fact, I'd love to talk to your instructor - go ahead and give the prof my name/url and my invitation to check us out. - Amgine 04:46, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * If you look in the tool box on the left in my talk page you can see a link to e-mail me. But, if you're using most browsers you can click on the #wikinews link at the top of all the pages and you will start your IRC client and end up in the wikinews IRC channel. I'll be here a while longer, but it's night here in Vancouver.

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 Cdnjay. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cdnjay~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 23:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
