U.S. preps for setting up Missile Interceptors to curb threat from North Korea by 2017
Before resubmitting U.S. preps for setting up Missile Interceptors to curb threat from North Korea by 2017, please find a second source to address newsworthiness, write a sentence in the lead that establishes newsworthiness by citing events that took place in the last 48 hours, and by getting rid of the inline link in the article. These are the most fundamental things for getting this article to be even considered ready for publication. After that, please review everything on the talk page to see what you can improve before resubmitting and acknowledge you did do on the talk page. This will increase your chances of getting the article published. --LauraHale (talk) 05:09, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Learning curve
Hi! English Wikinews is notorious for its steep initial learning curve. You're on your way up it, I see. :-)  The good news is, once you get past the initial curve, things get a lot easier &mdash; we never stop learning, of course, but after that initial steep bit the slope is much gentler.  --Pi zero (talk) 12:03, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

London: Soldier hacked to death‎
Hi. I have marked the article not ready, and left feedback at Talk:London: Soldier hacked to death‎. The biggest issues with this review involve the lede and style guide compliance. These are mostly surface issues, and once they are addressed, other criteria (like source verification, neutrality, copyright) can be done. That part tends to take longer, which is why the article likely needs some freshness built into it. --LauraHale (talk) 22:11, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called TrueBlue. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TrueBlue~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
