Comments/Questions

 * Accreditation is a mutually beneficial arrangement, in which Wikinews vouches for the reporter's ethical behavior, and the reporter contributes &mdash;ethnically&mdash; to Wikinews. The question of ethical behavior is only partly separable from that of contribution to Wikinews, because a user's accumulated reputation on Wikinews is central to our assessment of them. (See Never assume.) Afaics, you have never contributed to Wikinews.  Do you have any plans to do so? --Pi zero (talk) 21:11, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep! This was requested specifically to assist with a story I'm beginning to research around changes in the availability of public health resources offered by the National Library of Medicine. LFaraone (talk) 04:55, 25 February 2021‎ (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. Would you intend to conduct the interviews by email or by phone? What kind of original reporting activity would you volunteer to undertake? Regards, --Gryllida (talk) 03:35, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * As I understand LFaraone would like to have a press pass, in order to get the details, first. A phone/email-based interview will follow soon.  I am okay granting them a temporary press pass, valid through April.  Depending on how his first article goes, we can then decide about his AR status. •–•  07:39, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have tried reaching out to on IRC and via Special:Email and they seem to be unresponsive.  I will let this sit for a week.  And if I don't hear from him, I will close it as unresponsive, let again some time later. •–•  04:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
