This is an official policy on English Wikinews. It has wide acceptance and is considered a standard for all users to follow. Changes to this page must reflect consensus. If in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.

Please use this page to request the Flagged Revisions permission, putting new requests at the top. Requests will generally stay open for at least a week (unless fast-tracked), after which an administrator will read the comments made by other users and decide whether or not to add the flag.

I	Before a request Before requesting this permission, you must be familiar with key policies, particularly the style guide and neutral point of view. Prior to review of any article, and its subsequent publication, you will be required to copyedit the article for any style issues. This requires a very good understanding of English grammar to maintain the quality of the project's published works. You should have written many published articles with which no major problems should have arose during review lately. It is best if you have already helped to review articles and gave feedback to the author – either on your own, or together with an established reviewer. If you wish to practice under supervision, subscribe here, and reviewers will try to reach you on IRC before review sessions start.
II	Create the request for permission: Users can submit their own requests (self-nomination), or Other users can nominate a candidate. Add the candidate username in the box below and click the `Add a request` button. Complete the questions on the resulting page and save it. Please highlight if you are nominating someone who has not yet accepted the nomination on-wiki. Transclude the request page at the foot of the section below by adding the title of the request page, enclosed by curly brackets e.g.: `{{Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/YourUsername}}` Then inform the Wikinews community of your request.
III	Questions You may be asked questions by other users so they can review your request. Please try to provide full answers.
IV	Community decision The request must remain open for at least seven days. An administrator will close the request and will also add the flag, if there is consensus. Closed requests are moved to the Archives.
Note	If a request has been open for over a week, please leave a note at the talk page of an administrator.
