Support While basic formatting and verification needs occasional work, has done a lot of good work and accreditation would be useful to reporter. Works really well in team reporting. --LauraHale (talk) 04:29, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great asset to WikiNews, has shown he can do reporting. Giving him accreditation would be ideal as it would allow him to attend events which require accreditation. Bidgee (talk) 05:38, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
