User talk:Kinnerc

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 17:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

anti-spam capchas
hi richard, the only account verification that i'm aware of, is to provide an e-mail address (to be set in your preferences). in any case, i think u'll be rid of it after 4 days or 50 edits. so do try and bear with us till then :). some more info abt these features is available at Anti-spam Features. &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 15:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

PVJ's pages
nothing's wrong at all. u reverted the user page, i reverted the talk page, both of which were vandalised. and don't worry too much about making the odd mistake. this is a wiki, and everything can be fixed just fine :). &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 16:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Awesome

 * Thank you, Jim. I'm having a lot of fun, really. Because of the environment and the pace there seems to be a greater sense of being able to make a difference on this project if you want. Hopefully I'll continue to live up to the award. Thanks again! -Richard &#39;Doc&#39; Kinne 17:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I Second That Nomination

 * Thank you so much, Thunderhead. I've been having fun, and hopefully I've been useful at the same time. :-)  -Richard &#39;Doc&#39; Kinne 16:05, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Reconsider Accred. Request
Thanks Richard. I will most certinaly be applying again soon - it just seems that people were either too reluctant to post any vote at all (didn't know which way to swing and influence the vote) or just didn't see it. I'll try and get out there and do some photojournalism and get some of it under my belt before I reapply. Hopefully that will help the balance tip. --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 21:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Article publication
No worries. I forget sometimes too - you just end up getting used to what categories are there and what isn't. --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 21:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Please see WN:NOT. The articles are not considered to be appropriate for Wikinews - as they have no news sources that can be cited for the data included. Also, with these types of articles we have to be *extremely* careful about NPOV. I can see a lot of NPOV in those articles you have commented on. The content may be good, however the way it is written is not. They do not adhere to our style guidelines for published articles, they attribute the text to a single author, and could also be considered to be editorials - which are not accepted for publication on Wikinews. --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 18:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
