Hi. Wikinews has a review process for publication. I've left a cleanup tag on the article identifying some points that clearly need to be addressed; if those are addressed, then we'll see where we can go from there. --Pi zero (talk) 18:02, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Another page I'm working on, that might possibly be of interest, is WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing. --Pi zero (talk) 18:52, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Your edits
Your recent edits look like some sort of flim-flam game. What they are is beside the point; that's what they look like. There's no justification for switching back and forth between different accounts like this; if you've got alternative accounts, it would take at most two very straightforward edits on each account to have cleared it all up, rather than all this complex shifting around. Settle down, please. Otherwise, I'll consider preventative blocking against the likelihood of something obscurely underhanded. --Pi zero (talk) 19:10, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

I have a number of old Wikimedia accounts on multiple projects. I merged the userpages and talkpages all onto Nicole Sharp so as to keep my old edits and discussions under one username for better consistency. Sorry if the edits seemed unusual. Nicole Sharp (talk) 20:47, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There are multiple concerns around the mishmash of redirects, and page 'ownership'. I'd hope you'd be able to point to renames elsewhere to resolve the issue of appearing to have a collection of socks. And, I'd expect old accounts to point to the one you're currently editing with &mdash; . Actually merging contribution histories of multiple accounts just isn't possible. Whilst there's no need to provide a real name, or 'committed identity', the problem is lack of evidence that whoever has edited as Nicole Sharp is currently editing as Vegaserrana. There is no history of contributions here on Wikinews for any accounts other than Vegaserrana, and I'm not going to dig into rename requests on Wikipedia (which, if you don't register - and validate - an email address for an account are impossible to get processed if you also forget the password).
 * That's certainly far, far, less-visible if you just register accounts for Wikipedia on an almost-throwaway basis, but that's where the confusion should stay. Renames et-al as a technical process have gone cross-wiki, making the assertion you are w:User:Nicole Sharp, and all the variants thereof, someone else's problem. That claim would be on the basis of access to accounts originally created on Wikipedia; not on creating user pages for accounts which have never edited on Wikinews.
 * Put another way: "How do we know you are who you wish us to infer you are?" --Brian McNeil / talk 00:30, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

I've only edited on Wikinews a handful of times, and last time I was active was back in 2012 :-p. Yes, the username issue is cross-wiki, primarily from Wikipedia/Wiktionary, where I am most active. The full list of my old accounts going back years from all wikiprojects that I've merged into  are there. Regarding whether user really is , you can check my website or any number of social media platforms to confirm my true-name identity. Vega serrana is actually part of my real-life full name (Lee & Serrano) translated to Spanish (Nicole Lee Sharp Ruiz Frey Serrano). Nicole Sharp (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * To a critical observer, you are . Nothing more, nothing less. This user &mdash;, whose talk page we're editing &mdash; effectivelydoes not exist on this wiki. Neither of those accounts is the one you appear to have bumped up against copyright concerns with back in 2012.
 * Introducing the same confusion here as on Wikipedia is, even if unintentional, really unhelpful. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:27, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
