May I have a section called "The Static Editors" which lists really active editors who clog up Recent CHanges? [FRSign Here 19:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this may offend the users concerned don't you? Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 19:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How? [FRSign Here 19:29, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What good does that do? Publically pinpointing users? Kennedy (talk) 19:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, New Idea. I do a secion called "Good Article report" and tell the editors about what articles have become GA and VGA? [FRSign Here 19:32, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We already announce them. Yotcmdr =talk to the commander=19:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We do? [FRSign Here 19:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We do. Please find another idea :D! Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 19:56, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about "The Admins Issues" were we go and find out about the issues going on at WP:AN? TurboGolf 08:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think it's a good idea. Please feel free to write up discussions and then add it here for the next issue. BG7even 12:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about a Quotes of the weeksection, which would have a few funny things editors said on wiki or IRC? It would add a bit of fun to SN. (or maybe something else fun if not this) Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 21:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, we can't use IRC quotes. ѕwirlвoy  02:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, such a section would be perfectly acceptable provided that all parties were happy with it being published. Goblin 16:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to write editorials for Simple News as well as bring in news of successful DYK nominations and news about which articles are up for DYK currently. What do you guys think? Cheers, Razorflame 18:12, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, why not! See what BG7 thinks too!! Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 18:28, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with the part about DYK nominations but i'm a bit worried about editorials. There isn't one editor of Simple News and it could promote ownership. I think me and Kennedy discussed it when it was first started. If, however, you mean an article like that that me, Kennedy and Yotcmdr write, then you are more than welcome to! Cheers, Goblin 16:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know when you want me to write the submissions, as I am currently in limbo. Cheers, Razorflame Public (talk) 20:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Whenever you like! It's been a bit dead recently ;) Goblin 12:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've written a new article on the GFDL to CC licence vote here: Wikipedia:Simple News/EhJJ/1. I tried to write it in Simple English, and left it rather short with links for those that are interested. Feel free to leave comments or make changes. Please let me know if it will be included by responding here or on my talk. Thanks! EhJJTALK 14:46, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EhJJ, it looks fine. I've added a header to it and will add it in for next issue. It could be a good idea to sign the page too? Thanks for that! Kennedy (talk) 15:11, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. Thanks! EhJJTALK 15:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
