Questions and comments edit
Question Accreditation is used for original reporting (OR). It doesn't look like you've ever done OR for Wikinews; our standards for documentation of OR are more careful nowadays than they were in the early years of the project. How would you use accreditation? What sort of original reporting do you want to do? Also, for perspective, how does it happen you're applying now, after last contributing here in 2010?
- and, not to split hairs...accreditation is mostly about OR; but, to not waste time going down that road, LOADS of people (apparently) seem to come here, thinking that accreditation is going to give them the Keys to the Kingdom (and, I suppose, in a small way, it does). But, we generally like to "see" who you are and what you are as a journalist, before rendering accreditation. When we accredit you, we're vouching for you as a reporter. Can you help us see why we should vouch for you? --Bddpaux (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Votes edit
Oppose I've made no less than two attempts to spark more input, with zero response, so I see no other recourse but to vote 'No'. --Bddpaux (talk) 15:28, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
