 * Matthew, nice to see you came back. If you ever want some advice on how to edit here, feel free to ask! :-) --Diego Grez return fire 00:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm just taking baby steps for now :) Matthewedwards (talk) 01:05, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Welcome back, Matthew. I was quite surprised - and pleased - to see your name in the recent changes with a new article symbol next to it. :-) If you ever need something or have questions, please don't hesitate to ping me at my talk page. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  02:05, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you :) There might be something soon, actually, to do with image placement. Matthewedwards (talk) 03:16, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Can someone delete Template:Doc, please? Not sure what the speedy delete policy is here, but I created it by accident and then blanked it. Thanks, 69.78.131.230 (talk) 05:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅. Feel free to stick delete on anything needing speedy. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:04, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If this is baby steps, I would love to see you run at full speed. Welcome back! --InfantGorilla (talk) 16:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, thanks. I just meant I'm gonna stick to writing stories, rather than get involved in any discussions and what-not for now. :) Matthewedwards (talk) 13:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

something for you...
I award you the Resilient Barnstar for your excellent contributions to Wikinews, especially in the field of original reporting, despite our shameful treatment of you a few months ago. Thanks a lot! Benny the mascot (talk) 16:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That means a lot. I suspect that if this wasn't a Wikimedia project I most likely wouldn't have returned. :) Matthewedwards (talk) 16:04, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

If you accidentally sight a revision of a developing article, don't carry the sighting along to later versions; it can only cause later trouble &mdash; e.g., when you accidentally added publish to the article that presumably actually self-published it, i.e., put it up on the main page for the few seconds it took you to fix it.

I unsighted all the revisions for you. Since de-sighting is a trick that, over at Wikibooks, we took many months to figure out, I'll remark that all it takes is going down to the "Review this revision" box at bottom of the page, unchecking "Accuracy", and clicking the "Submit" button. --Pi zero (talk) 16:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh good, so I wasn't the only one who took 6 months to figure out how to de-sight something? I felt pretty dumb when I realized how easy it is;). Gopher65talk 16:39, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks guys. I should have figured out there would be more to it. 208.54.5.77 (talk) 16:50, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Is that your IP? Want if so, sign in & say should you want it revdel'd. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 16:58, 12 October 2010 (UTC) Never mind, seen the edit now that says you're on your phone and know you're logged out.  Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:00, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I don't really care if my IP is shown. Thanks though :). It's just my phone, and it changes each time I reopen the browser. Same with my home outer, really. I use a cellular based usb wifi single, and thats changes each time it connects. 208.54.5.77 (talk) 17:30, 12 October 2010 (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.
