Re:Arab as a slur
The tag itself, although not very pleasant, may not be a slur. But, in this case, there is no need to use the word in the title. For example, when reporting the rape-slayings committed by the US military in Mahmoudiya, we did not confirm the race of the rapist soldier (I believe he was Caucasian) in the title. The same logic should apply here. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) 11:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Hugary
I feel honored that you have put a comment of mine near the top of your User Page. However, as it is taken out of context, I feel that other users may be confused about it. I certainly hope that they do not use it to form negative opinions of me. But for the record, I would like to say that the comment, with its deliberate broken English, was an attempt at levity and was followed by a "thanks" after Messedrocker corrected an article title, in which I had mispelled Hungary as Hugary. --SVTCobra 01:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, thank you for the clarification on your user page. You are too kind. I just didn't want to get any Hugarians on my case. --SVTCobra 02:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * After looking at it with you explanation, I realize it is not as funny. If you want to remove the explaination, that's cool. It was just that I saw it for the first time and thought "wow, I look like an idiot." So, basically, I'm indifferent. I haven't received any negative feedback from it, and like you said, it has been there a while. And now, my on-going rambling has surely taken away any fun or humor that was left in it. --SVTCobra 02:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Your thoughts, please.== ==

Have you read the posts in the discussion on the feature-length article ""Jezebel of Jazz," Anita O'Day dead at 87"?

In there, I have presented the case why the original headline (as written above) is correct. The original deadline is concise, exact, compact, creative and sparks intrigue in the readers' imaginations.

The first headline change was made with no discussion.

The change was grammatically and stylistically improper. My request for discussion several times was ignored.

Your thoughts and mediation are welcome. Mink Butler Davenport 00:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Since you're my sole contact over here (I know of too, I guess), and my log-in is currently blocked (corrupt password?

I agree with your changes, the papers in Mumbai seem to be giving it a particularly sinister twist.

Obtaining mugshots
Hello,

I help maintain the following article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom

A photo of the accused murderers was recently removed due to questionable copyright information. Fortunately criminal mug shots are public domain and thus open source and can be readily uploaded to Wikipedia. The only problem is I won't be able to obtain mug shots of the accused murderers' because I lack a reporters credential. Another wiki editor referred me to WikiNews and suggested I ask an accredited member for assistance in obtaining mugshots

The images in question can be found on this commercial news site, though they can't be copied due to copyright laws.

http://www.volunteertv.com/special/headlines/5686076.html

Would you be willing to contact the Knox County Sherriff's office to obtain these mugshots?

Wikinewsie bio
Hi, just seeing about the Wikinewsie website redesign, and noticing the bio part...

Reporting for Wikinews since 2004, Nick Moreau has focused his original reporting on North American entertainment and Canadian politics. His coverage ranges from interviews of Ontario provincial parliament and city council candidates, the latter of which which were quoted the Toronto Star newspaper, and uncovering the internet child-baiting of John Mark Karr, the false confessor in the Jon Benet murder investigations, to odder beats such as regular investigative coverage of the Tigger hit incident, while other news outlets left the story at the first unbalanced report. Moreau regularly gets professional photographers to volunteer their time and take photos at events around the continent, including as award shows, red carpets, and concerts. Moreau was a sports and history reporter for The Brampton Bulletin newspaper for two years.

Something like this, maybe? -- Zanimum 16:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Edbrown05 Request for ArbCom
I've proposed a request for arbcom relating to the recent situation with Ed. If you take issue with being listed as an involved party, please remove your name from that list. Otherwise, I suppose you'll be expected to make a brief statement on that page. irid t i [mailto:ironiridis@gmail.com e] 07:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Press pass pretty pretty please, with cherries on top?
Hey James, could you send me a press pass please? :) I meant to ask for one a while ago but got lazy on it. --TUFKAAP 04:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll upload a new one tomorrow, the one on my user page is outdated. --TUFKAAP 04:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded it. Use that one. --TUFKAAP 04:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

FlaggedRevs
If you have not already seen this, please look, comment, and vote both here and on bugzilla. Further assistance such as contact information for Google would be a very useful detail to share and help in petitioning for a listing in their news index. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Press pass
Hi, I'm supposed to ask you about a press pass? I'd like to do on-the-ground reporting for the G20 protests in London on 2 April. --Killing Vector (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Accreditation Expiration
Greetings, I wanted to let you know that our policy regarding accreditation has recently changed slightly. Specifically we've enacted an automatic expiration of accreditation after 2 years. You can very easily "re-up" your accreditation should you choose to, but at this point in time you're on the Inactive list. As such your accreditation will automatically be revoked on March 15th unless you request otherwise. Currently, posting to the following thread will keep your accreditation. At a later date, all Accredited reporters will be put in for that "re-up", at which time you'll be notified. Thank you, and should you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 20:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Learn the difference between vandalism and blatant incivility. Then, eat shit. harej (talk) 20:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * To be clear, I am referring to your comment "You guys are despicable. Your actions are the assumption of the worst faith possible. Kill all of yourselves." That is a clear personal attack, and could possibly be taken as a threat. Please stick to reasonable and constructive discussion in future.
 * By the way, you just earned yourself a block. Δεν δοδγε  τ\c 20:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Block-happy project, I'm seeing. Killiondude (talk) 22:17, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Conservapedia-like. Heh. This block was made because of the AGF-fail statement he did. --Diego Grez return fire 22:18, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Your project literally put a picture of a hanged man on Matthew's userpage, and is now not sure about whether they want to de-crat and de-sysop the person who led the AGF-FAIL tribe. Gr8 project here, all around. Killiondude (talk) 22:22, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
