Hey there! Your recent edits have been noticed but some Wikinewsies. I saw two new comers within a week. Your articles have failed the review multiple times. But that is something many new comers face. My first four articles were deleted, my first article to be published was published in the third attempt. But in those twenty days, I tried to understand the policies. At first I thought'What is wrong with my article? Why is style is not acceptable?' But later I discovered that it is not the correct way to write a news article. I advice you to read the style guide and how to write an article. It will tell you what to do and how to do. Consult some archived news. And stop assuming that the community is against you. If you observe, for almost a month, three articles are published everyday. And if I am not wrong, at least four articles are written everyday in the last week. Everyone is a volunteer here. I think publishing the articles per day is pretty impressive rate. Still, the are two stories in the review queue which are on their last day of freshness. You have made some 70 edited in three days, but because of that, Gryllida, Pi zero and RocketballAustralia have spent their valuable time behind you, your submissions and your appeal to remove reviewer status of Pi zero which was, honestly, one of the worst things a newbie could possibly do. For years he has been on Wikinews. All the three editor I mentioned earlier are reviewers as well as administrators. Plus, you have paid zero attention to what they say. You challenge the experienced editors asking for any explanation which was already provided. Important links are provided in the welcome template above. Please use them. There is a lot to write about, pick something that you like (and ensure they it is news), follow the style guide, and write it in your own words maintaining the neutral tone. I tell you, because of your actions, the review process was slowed, and it disturbed me mentally. There was some spirts news I wanted to cover but could not even start. You edits would have probably disturbed other editors as well. Remember that we volunteer here and make sure your edits are helpful. It must not result in wastage of time. Hope you keep that in mind before the next submission. Keithman3 has 73 edits and the if his articles have found place on the Main Page. I am not comparing you with him, but see the difference. When you can write so much on the talk page, I am pretty sure you can write good articles. Good luck. acagastya 08:49, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
