A thought
Thanks for your help on Talk:Works valued at €100 million stolen from the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Ever thought of requesting the WN:Reviewer right? I'd support you, even more so now that I see you're trusted on other WMF projects. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts?   00:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really, but I'll probably request it. I can fail more articles this way :). Griffinofwales (talk) 00:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Diego got to it. You're officially invited to support. :) Griffinofwales (talk) 00:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Damn that Diego! I get him off an indef block and this is how he repays me? Most displeasing! I've supported you, though! :) HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts?   01:07, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Linking and category stuff
Just wanted to remind you that we discourage overlinking to Wikipedia; local links are preferred. We wouldn't want people to go to the Other Place, would we? We want to keep our readers trapped interested in Wikinews! :) Benny the mascot (talk) 14:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't realise we had all those cats. I'll check more thoroughly next time. Thanks :) Griffinofwales (talk) 22:33, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Statement doesn't interfere with NPOV
For Chicago mayor proposes new strict gun regulation, most leading researchers and analysts agree that the United States Supreme court is indeed conservative. So that statement doesn't conflict with the NPOV policy.

Reason on speedy delete
Please don't taunt the folks who create these pages, regardless of whether they're trolls, vandals, or... whatever. In the suite of principles I've been slowly developing (off-line, because I'm a perfectionist) to replace AGI, one of my items lately has been "Don't make it personal", with sub-items "Don't be the first to make it personal" and "Don't be the second (or n&thinsp;th) to make it personal". If they're really trolls, you've given them what they want, and if they aren't you may have unnecessarily hurt someone's feelings. --Pi zero (talk) 07:00, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

privs
'''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.


 * 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.
