• Note- due to lack of active users on the site, all of the below requests were granted, as it was unanimous support for each one. Some supporting votes and comments were lost due to an importing glitch, but all votes were for support.

NovaFlare, Requested 23:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Request comments: I already have this right, but it's just more of a temporary/fill-in role since it was never voted on. Since I made all the templates, I don't think I'll have a problem with using them :P I know my writing isn't the greatest, but I think I usually report things pretty quickly and from a NPOV, and I'm confident my spelling mistakes on news articles are very rare.

Oppose

1. I'm actually supporting, but wanted to put it here for fun. Berrybrick (talk) 00:30, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

   XD (and aren't you making a request?) NovaHawk 00:42, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

ToaMeiko, Requested 23:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Request comments: Meiko already has this right, so I'm assuming he wanted it and filling this out (hope that's ok with everyone involved). NovaHawk 23:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Support

1. As nominator. Meiko obviously knows what he's doing writing news articles, as can be seen on Facebook and the article he's written here already. If Brickset can trust him as a reporter, I think we can :P If he returns, that's great, the right will be sitting there for him, if not, well, it's not like we don't have inactive users on a list of people with certain user rights anywhere else. Besides, he already has the rights, I don't want to take them off him. NovaHawk 23:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Didn't Meiko leave two days prior to this nomination? :s -LFY1547

LK901, Requested 18:18, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Request comments: I'm an active contributor (I do go through phases of inactivity, but oh well), and I think I could help Brickipedia as a News Reporter. I'm not the most current person when it comes to LEGO news, but I usually get wind of it within 12 hours (I actually sleep, unlike some people:P).

Support

1. LK has competent language skills, competent technical skills, competent editing skills... Of course I support. BrickfilmNut (talk) 18:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Sibo2808, Requested 21:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Request comments: As I have recently discovered many news in the morning not being reported until later (for me) I thought that I would make news come out faster (The team we have now is great too!). I have also had a little past with newspapers on this wiki: Weekly Media Rundown & Sibo's News (from 2013). I also have a subject at school called Media and Communication where we learn about journalistics and many media related things, which I think would help a lot. I hope that if I get the rights I will bring the news with pleasure! I was planning to do this earlier, but didn't get to do it. Thank you. Sibo2808 (talk) 21:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

• Because I can't see a reason to oppose :P --LK901 21:22, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

• Seems to know what he's doing. NovaHawk 22:52, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments

• Can you put together a sample report of something new so I can see what I'm supposed to be voting for or against? --ToaMeiko (talk) 21:33, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
  • How am I supposed to do it? Sibo2808 (talk) 21:37, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
    • Make a user subpage like Special:MyPage/News report example and copy the format of any other news articles here (ATTN NovaHawk: having him do this won't interfere with the SMW/RSS stuff for news will it as long as it's in a different namespace or am I wrong?) --ToaMeiko (talk) 21:57, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
      • Nope, there's a safeguard for that built in so it only gets stuff from the news namespace NovaHawk 22:03, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
• Here it is! Sibo2808 (talk) 22:24, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
• How often would you be writing reports? CJC95 (talk) 22:52, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Hopefully more than once a week! Sibo2808 (talk) 22:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I am making a second one too. Sibo2808 (talk) 23:15, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Brikkyy13, Requested 00:11, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Request comments: (per request of CJC95 and Berrybrick) I feel that I could be of value to the news reporter team. I don't really have any experience reporting news, really all I have is what is on the Brickipedia News:Reports page, but I am usually the first person in my social group to spread news and inform people about it. Though it's not really the same, I have submitted over 23 reviews on s@h and am a top 100 contributor, with quite a few of my reviews getting a lot of thumbs ups, so I guess this shows how well I can use words to explain things. Here is an example of how one of my reports would go (more reports available upon request).

1. Eeh, I didn't realize you had put this up. :} Berrybrick (talk) 21:12, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments

• Neutral. Seems to be able to write good news articles, just some very minor concerns over us possibly getting what could be considered some less noteworthy news, which would ideally be just included as a part of a weekly roundup (if we ever got back into those) NovaHawk 05:19, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
  • If I am accepted I will try to stay away from stuff like that, but I will probably do the weekly roundups for you, seeing as some of it is (kind of) newsworthy. BrikkyyTalk Brikkyy13 (talk) 06:35, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
    • Also, do neutral votes count as a yes after one week? If so, I believe I have made it onto the team :D BrikkyyTalk
      • Neutral counts as nothing, so yes, it's +3 :) NovaHawk 09:51, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Soupperson1, Requested 16:58, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Request comments: I've asked other news reporters many times to make reports, it be handy if I could do it myself. I've posted a DUPLO/Juniors report today, before I posted that Scooby Doo rumor and posted the ideas results before a news reporter.

Support

1. I can't see a reason why not :-P Sibo2808 (talk) 17:26, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
2. tbh I though you were already a news reporter up until a few days ago :/. And for the record, users who aren't news reporters can post news here. BrikkyyTalk
