First article
I have reviewed and passed the article you requested me to, and I was impressed by your great prose and Wikinews style compliance in the article. I made a minor change by adding an infobox to the side (try to find one on the subject of your next article and put it as a template on the top of the page). Anyways, I hope to see you around, and keep up your good work! R .T . 11:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Another user has fixed it, but don't sweat it. I made my share of mistakes in my first few articles. Just keep doing what you have been and you'll get better. Happy editing! R .T . 20:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

infoboxes
In case you didn't see it on the water cooler - New Jersey infobox and Pennsylvania infobox. Cheers, and welcome to wikinews. Bawolff ☺☻ 07:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh yes, and one other thing: you don't have to wait for your articles to be published in order to add them to the article log, they can be added as soon as they have been marked as ready for review. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 16:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Exceptional Newcomer Award


You're welcome! It's always nice to see new contributors around. Cheers! ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 18:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Editor status suggestion
Would you be interested in obtaining editor status? With that tool, you'll be able to make edits to published articles without a third party having to approve them. Plus, you will be able to review articles then. If you want, you can apply for the tool here. I have no doubt you would pass without any trouble, given your experience here.

infoboxes
On your infoboxes, you might want to clarify the FA's were at wikipedia, as there is also the similarly named WN:FA process. (which isn't quite as popular, but still is there). Bawolff ☺☻ 04:22, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikinews!
Let me join in the welcoming. One tip, however, don't do "Last, First" for author names please. See WN:SG and WN:CS for more. Cheers, --SVTCobra 01:02, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry I never responded to your message about your first article; I just realised I never responded. I've been really busy over the last month or so and (unfortunately) I haven't had much time to edit Wikinews. Anonymous101talk 09:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Not logged in edits
No worries. If you want, I can oversight out hide the edits you made from the IP address, to protect your privacy (a whois of the IP could reveal the city and general vicinity from which you edit).

 * OK, I purged the IP address edits from public view, as requested. You might want to check your user page to make sure everything is there; the purge deleted anything inserted by the IP. <font color="#CC7722" face="Papyrus">♪Tempo <font color="#00008B" face="Papyrus">di <font color="green" face="papyrus">Valse ♪  02:21, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Whoops, I missed your request you made on my talk page a few days ago -- didn't notice it somehow. Sorry. However, it looks as though has deleted the IP edits, so you should be okay.

Wikipedia User boxen
Is there a specific benefit to Wikinews having a Wikipedia community achievement user box? - <span style="font: italic 10pt/12pt cursive;"> Amgine | t 02:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I can think of several harms to Wikinews, the first and most obvious being they appear to value picayune accomplishments on wikipedia over substantive Wikinews accolades. It also strongly suggests, to me, that you have little or no commitment to the Wikinews community, while valuing that of Wikipedia. In short, they seem divisive to the community of this project. But I'm sure they are important to you. - <span style="font: italic 10pt/12pt cursive;"> Amgine | t 04:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I've written 5 articles in the past 2 hours, have something like 10,000 edits on the project, have written, oh, about a third of the current policy content for the project as well as creating or participating in pretty much every major initiative up until a couple years ago, have given up adminship in the project 3 or so times... and I don't think I'm at all committed to the project.


 * I don't think you can beat me in that particular pissing competition.


 * At the same time, I really do appreciate your content efforts at Wikinews. I think you are one of the new generation of wiki-journalists, who have great skills and knowledge and will take the project places we oldbies never thought of. But it isn't wikipedia. It isn't nice and cuddly, and it doesn't need people who need their accomplishments somewhere else to make themselves feel confident. It does need people who have vision and dedication, but doesn't need people who are prickly and quick to offense.


 * Best regards, <span style="font: italic 10pt/12pt cursive;"> Amgine | t 05:44, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

New userboxes
Nice initiative creating the new userboxes, I think they're great!

I made two more that are more type-specific to this project locally as opposed to Wikipedia: User Wikinews FA and User Barnstaraward (for work done on this project). Cheers, Cirt (talk) 20:50, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

3rd place
Congrats, you've won third place in the writing contest, having lasted for 14 days. (The contest isn't over yet, but only two people are left in the race, so third place has already been decided). I hope you'll still continue to contribute your excellent articles. Best, <font face="Georgia"><font color="DarkBlue">Tempodivalse <font color="DimGray">[☎]  00:47, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, you only submitted one article for April 3rd, and the rules say you can be granted up to three non-consecutive "free passes" if you write at least two articles the day before, so technically, that counts as being out. However, if I didn't make that clear in the rules due to phrasing it poorly, and you misunderstood, you're certainly welcome back into the contest. <font color="#CC7722" face="Georgia">♪ Tempo <font color="#00008B" face="Georgia">di <font color="green" face="Georgia">valse ♪  14:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

On second thought, why don't you take second place. The contest is over, and technically I won, but it might seem like a conflict of interest for me to win my own contest, so I decided to upgrade the other two top finishers and disqualify myself. Plus, I have too many barnstars already, and don't really feel right giving one to myself. So, you can take second place instead. So here's the new star:
