I just don't like interfering in peoples pet projects. live in Ireland? → CGorman ( Talk) 16:50, (UTC) I must say I love this Idea, its great can I make sub cats to each region - eg. people are welcome to join, or ignore it if they like. In sum, i think this easier and more versatile. one could even put links to the user groups wherever they like, such as putting a "sports editors" link on the sports news page, that links to the "interest in sports" category.

and they're easy to get to and see who's in them. i noticed wikinewsies, but this is less work for the user - they dont have to search cats to be in and join them one by one - and for display page - it can be changed/customized however, simply by moving/changing dpls. details are on the page if anyone's interested. Because of the responsibility, and their impact on all the Wikimedia projects, we should all be over there voting! - / 06:18, (UTC) new user directory based on categories and dpls Stewards are entrusted by the larger Wikimedia community with the responsibility of being able to work on all the projects. This kind of clean-up work, and more, is handled by stewards. Before they get to a stage with the necessary admins, however, they are often vulnerable to issues such as vandalism, or may need help establishing policy, and the all-important appointing of admins. Each language in each project develops administrators and bureaucrats to meet their needs as the community grows. Wikimedia Foundation supports many projects, including Wikipedia of course, but also Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquotes, Wikicommons, Wikispecies, and Meta, in all the various languages. Please vote ! Yann 14:40, (UTC) Reply Many Wikinewsies are not really aware of the larger organization of which Wikinews is a part. Stewards can give sysop right on projects where there are no local bureaucrate. Anyone can vote provided that he has a valid account on meta with a link to at least one user page, on a project where the editor is a participant, with at least 3 months participation to the project. The stewards election has started on m:Stewards/elections 2005.
