Brickipedia:News reporters/Requests

From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki

This page is for any requests to become a member of the News reporters.

To prevent excessive nominations, there is an edit and time requirement for the user to be eligible to make a request. The user must have made at least 100 mainspace edits, and have been on the wiki for at least two months. A user should have shown a past in reporting news, such as in user blogs or in the wiki forums. If the request is unsuccessful, the user will be unable to lodge a request until two months after the date the request concluded. For a request to pass, there must be at least a +3 vote count and a 60 percent positive vote percentage.

A requester may withdraw their request at any time throughout the process, but will be unable to lodge a request until two months after the date of withdrawal if the overall vote score is less than zero.

How to make a request

To make a request, use the following syntax:

=={{u|(your username)}}, Requested ~~~~~==
'''Request comments:''' (any comments here)
===Support===
===Oppose===
===Comments===

When requesting membership onto the news reporter team, it is best to link to some examples of your past experience in reporting news. Such examples can include any news stories you have made on other websites, a news web blog of yours or that you have contributed to if any, or any on-wiki news reports you have made in user blogs or forums, if any.

After one week, an admin who is also a news reporter will close the request and notify you of the result. An archive of past requests can be seen here.

Please note, only members of the News Reporters are permitted to vote.
