Wikinews:Accreditation requests/Asheiou

I will close this but I am not sure how to get you access to the WN-Reporters website. I will ask User:Acagastya to help. [₂₄Cr][talk] 23:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I have a wn-reporters email already, acagastya got it set up. A.S. Thawley (talk) (calendar) 23:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Back

Not sure if anyone watches my talkpage, but just putting this here to say I'm back. I spent all of August in France unexpectedly so I've been very busy. I have an article in the works! A.S. Thawley (talk) (calendar) 19:06, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Welcome back. Were you at paralympics? Gryllida (talk) 11:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd intended to be, but unfortunately my health is so unpredictable so I couldn't manage to go. I just sat in a Parisian flat eating expensive pastries, although I also managed to see a lot of museums and I watched the Paralympics opening ceremony on TV, which was something. Hopefully I'll be able to attend the next time the Olympics return to Europe! A.S. Thawley (talk) (calendar) 12:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Hey. I added {{non-free use rationale}} to this, since it's required for all non-free files. If you could please look over the rationale and make sure everything jives with your intentions for using it (I'm guessing you didn't reduce the resolution — which I don't think is necessary for a GoL image — or you would've said you did), that'd be great. Heavy Water (talk) 21:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Hiya, that's all right. Didn't reduce the resolution as yeah, it's not required for a GoL image. I'm not currently able to go and take a free-use image to replace it, although I should be able to at the end of the week which I can put on the w:Hednesford Park page. A.S.

Oops, I'll get that fixed tonight, thanks for the info. I knew that page was important for something hahaha Ash Thawley (talk) (calendar) 09:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Re: revitalising Wikinews

Hi, I'm reaching out to you as you indicated support for revitalising Wikinews. Here are a few ways to help out, in no particular order:

1. write new articles by style guide and content guide
2. find news which happened today and share it on live chat or a news tip page
3. read drafts in Newsroom, especially those submitted for review, and edit them to make them more comprehensive or more current
4. read drafts in Newsroom, especially those that failed review recently, and address reviewer's comments quickly and re-submit for review
5. chat with new authors (of articles in Newsroom) and help them understand the key concepts
6. subscribe at Wikinews:Water cooler (there are 5 subforums, open each and click 'Subscribe' link at top - then keep a close eye on your Echo notifications) to help newcomers and help with editing articles when someone requests assistance
7. chat on live chat and help newcomers and reviewers with their review process
8. help with software development for authoring or reviewing articles, perhaps for the mobile platforms
9. chat with other contributors on audio or video chat
10. present notes about how Wikinews works at various conferences via audio and video communucations [as we don't have funds for travel at present] this can be linux, programming, journalistical, or wikimedia themed conferences
11. figure out how to get someone to do any of the above through a grant, sometimes google summer of code
12. find high school and university educators who would like to teach their class journalism by asking them to write articles for Wikinews (was done with in the past, and we have extension installed for marking students)
13. collaborate with Pharos on getting more news coverage of the New York City and adjacent areas
14. proofread, or read, Wikinews articles out loud for Audio Wikinews
15. make English Wikinews accounts on various social media like twitter, facebook, blue sky app (sp?), others [in consultation with someone on-wiki first] ensuring you're posting new news articles there with appropriate tags, moderate comments, and setup multiple moderators if possible and document which contributor is in charge of which social network account for Wikinews and how articles are being posted there

Please let me know which of these points you're most comfortable with, and/or would like to learn.

Which points would you like to contribute? Please name up to 3-5 points, if you like. Or suggest your own. :-)

I'm happy to connect with you and guide you in any of the above areas.
