User talk:SeniorWikiNewsReporter

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; 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!

Username
Howdy! Welcome to Wikinews! Would you consider requesting a username change? Your username might be confusing to other editors. Thanks! --Chiacomo (talk) 00:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do select another username and request a change at the above linked address -- the username policy discourages usernames which may be confusing to other editors. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

It's confusing because your username may confuse other editors into thinking that you have a special or official position in the Wikinews community. You can request a change from a bureaucrat by visiting Changing username. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I don't really understand what you're saying -- that you are a senior reporter somewhere and that this entitles you to a username which notes that? Wikinews has no official special classes of editors -- though active contributors are sometimes recognized with barnstars or trophies. By requesting a username change you will be able to retain your edit history -- which is very handy, I think. Please visit Changing username to request a change to your username. I'll try to poke a bureaucrat to expedite the process for you. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You need to choose a different username. It is in violation of our username policy.. If you do not choose a new one your account will be renamed or blocked.BTW Welcome to Wikinews :) --Cspurrier 04:03, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Inappropriate
This welcome message is entirely inappropriate -- Wikinews welcomes editors from all over the world, even those for whom English is a second (or third or fourth) language. We try to be inclusive and friendly. It is not appropriate to criticise new users in the manner demonstrated by your edit above -- it borders on a personal attack and is certainly not civil. Please be friendly. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

welcome
Thankyou for the thanks. I unfourtanatly feel that I'm going to have to ask you to not comment on new user talk pages. The comments you made on the last two peoples talk page was hostile and inapropriate. In addition I highly recomend you follow chiacocomo's advice of changing usernames as your username is extremly misleading and probally won't be tolerated for much longer.
