First face transplant performed on French woman

December 1, 2005

Surgeons in France have performed a face transplant operation on a French woman who had lost her nose, lips and chin after being savaged by a dog. According to Iain Hutchison, an oral-facial surgeon at Barts and the London Hospital, the transplant is the first one to use skin from another person.

Doctors say the woman's new face will be a "hybrid" between her donor's face and her own face before the attack. In the five hour long operation, the donor's tissues, muscles, arteries and veins were attached to the patient's lower face. It is more favourable to use skin from another person's face instead of skin from another part of the patient's body, as the texture and colour of the skin are more likely to match.

A statement released by the hospital in Amiens said that the 38-year-old patient, who wishes to remain anonymous, has not been able to eat or speak properly since the attack in May this year. The woman was reportedly in "excellent general health" and her graft looked normal.

Ethical concerns, psychological impact, concerns relating to immunosuppression and consequences of technical failure have prevented teams from performing face transplant operations in the past, even though it has been technically possible to carry out such procedures for years.

Mr Hutchison warned of several problems with face transplants, such as blood vessels in the donated tissue clotting and immunosuppressants failing or increasing the patient's risk of cancer. He also pointed out ethical issues with the fact that the procedure requires a "beating heart donor". The transplant is carried out while the donor is brain dead, but still alive by use of a ventilator.

According to Stephen Wigmore, chair of British Transplantation Society's ethics committee, it is unknown to what extent facial expressions will function in the long term. He said that it is not certain whether a patient could be left worse off in the case of a face transplant failing.

Mr Michael Earley, a member of the Royal College of Surgeon's facial transplantation working party, commented that if successful, the transplant would be "a major breakthrough in facial reconstruction" and "a major step forward for the facially disfigured."

Xbox 360 shortages expected on debut day in Europe

November 30, 2005

The Xbox 360 arrives on shelves in Europe on Friday, but many shoppers may likely leave stores empty handed.

It is expected that at least 300,000 consoles are being made available for the European launch later this week, with only 50,000 destined for the UK. Stores are reporting that they may not even have enough stock to fulfill all of their pre-orders.

Launched in the US last Tuesday, the Xbox 360 sold out at many retailers in a matter of hours. The console can be found on eBay however, although most prices are significantly marked up from retail, some as high as $700 USD.

The console launches worldwide in two versions: a standard version, costing £279.99, and a core version at £209.99. The Core version does not include a hard disk which is required to play games created for the original Xbox.

The Xbox 360 will be launched in Japan on December 10. This is the first time a console has been launched in the three major markets (North America, Europe and Japan) in such a short time.

Bush speaks of goals for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, decries calls for timetable

December 1, 2005 U.S. President Bush re-stated his commitment to withdraw troops from Iraq and outlined goals for training Iraqi security forces that will guide such withdrawal. The presidential speech followed from a newly released White House document titled the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq. White House Press Secretary Scott McCellen claimed that the strategy outlined is what the administration has been following since 2003, and said that the released document is simply an unclassified version of the same for the public to review.

This release follows growing public and congressional dissatisfaction over the continuing violence in Iraq, rising US and Iraqi death toll, revelations of corruption and misadministration in the reconstruction program and the administration's handling of the war. A day before the president's address, Sen. Hillary Clinton, in an E-mail to her supporters had said "Given years of assurances that the war was nearly over and that the insurgents were in their 'last throes,' this administration was either not being honest with the American people or did not know what was going on in Iraq."

"As the Iraqi forces gain experience and the political process advances, we will be able to decrease our troop levels in Iraq without losing our capability to defeat the terrorists. These decisions about troop levels will be driven by the conditions on the ground in Iraq and the good judgment of our commanders," stated the President on Nov. 30 while speaking to Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

As was expected, Bush did not set a timeframe for U.S. troop withdrawal, which is in direct opposition to recent calls for such a timetable by congressional leaders. The administration and its supporters label such a timeframe as "artificial". In his speech, Bush characterized those calling for a withdrawal deadline as "sincere, but...sincerely wrong." and said "Setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would vindicate the terrorists' tactics of beheadings and suicide bombings and mass murder -- and invite new attacks on America."

Bush admitted that there had been "some setbacks in training Iraq’s security forces," and that their performance is still “uneven in some areas." Earlier, in a congressional briefing, General Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, had said that so far only one Iraqi battalion out of 120 being trained was capable of mounting operations without support from U.S. forces. The strategy document released also stated that "it's not realistic to expect a fully functioning democracy able to defeat its enemies three years after Saddam is finally removed from power," prompting questions about when the administration made such a determination.

In the White House press briefing Scott McClellan did not directly answer a question about which, if any of the short, medium and long term goals set out in the strategy has been achieved, saying that "I want to say we've made real progress on all three fronts of the strategy for victory." Senate Majority leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn) echoed the same sentiment, saying " ... examining the results on the ground, it's clear that we continue to make progress on the political, security and economic fronts"

Senator John Kerry (D-Mass), felt the President was ignoring what his own generals are telling him.

"The large presence of American forces on the ground feeds the insurgency," stated Kerry.

Democratic politicians generally dismissed the speech as a repeat of old rhetoric.

Harry Reid (D-Nev), Senate minority leader, accused Bush of "recycling his tired rhetoric of 'stay the course'." According to Reid, Bush had "missed an opportunity to lay out a real strategy for success in Iraq that will bring our troops safely home."

Steve Clemons, director of the American Strategy Programme at the New America Foundation, said Bush's war aims failed to address the strains on U.S. armed forces imposed by Iraq. "It's a very expansive commitment and it blows by the structural questions," stated Clemons. He added that those problems could only be resolved by a withdrawal, changing the current rules limiting the frequency of combat tours for individual units, or by moving towards a draft. Clemons said Bush was trying to escape those problems by portraying Iraqi forces as more ready than they actually are.

Washington spends more than $6b a month to keep its forces in Iraq. More than 2,100 Americans and many more thousands of Iraqis have been killed since the March 2003 invasion.

U.S. military covertly pays to run stories in Iraqi press

November 30, 2005

The LA Times reported today that the U.S. is secretly paying Iraqi newspapers to publish stories written by American troops. While these stories are mostly factual, they present only one side of events and blend out parts that don't reflect favourably on U.S. or Iraqi governments.

According to the report, the Pentagon hired the Lincoln Group, a Washington-based firm that translates the stories into Arabic and places them in Baghdad newspapers. When published, many of these articles are not marked as originating from the U.S. military, but presented as unbiased news reports, written by independent Iraqi journalists. The LA times quotes a senior military official, stating that "Absolute truth was not an essential element of these stories."

Earlier this year, the Bush administration came under criticism for distributing videos and news stories in the United States without identifying the federal government as its source, and paying American journalists to promote administration policies. The Government Accountability Office has characterized these practices as "covert propaganda."

U.S. law only prevents the military from planting propaganda through American news outlets. Critics charge, however, that in the modern media environment, stories written for foreign news sources are likely to leak into American news.

The response from the Pentagon was mixed, with Rumsfeld's spokesperson Bryan Whitman saying that he was unaware of such practice, noting that "this article raises some question as to whether or not some of the practices that are described in there are consistent with the principles of this department."

On the other hand, Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, a military spokesman in Iraq, said "This is a military program initiated with the Multi-National Force to help get factual information about ongoing operations into Iraqi news."

"An important part of countering misinformation in the news by insurgents," added Johnson. "I want to emphasize that all information used for marketing these stories is completely factual."

U.S. spokesperson Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch defended the practices.

"We do empower our operational commanders with the ability to inform the Iraqi public but everything we do is based on fact, not based on fiction," said Lynch.

John Schulz, a former executive with Voice of America called the military program scary.

"The Bush administration, and some elements within the Defense Department do not seem to grasp the irony that, in their efforts to create, impose or inspire democratic society in Iraq, they are subverting the very core of what democracy means and are instead, by example, undercutting the very thing they are attempting to install in Iraq," said Schulz.

Talk:Bush speaks of goals for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, decries calls for timetable

This is not news, for one. Bush has stated many times that there won't be a timetable for withdrawal for quite some time now, so to create an article saying that one has been delayed isn't really news. Additionally, not many articles that I saw even hinted there would be a withdrawal from Iraq announced. I hope that this article will be shifted to more of a news-like piece, such as focusing on the President's comments today (and not implying that there was a withdrawal planned in the short future). --MrMiscellanious (talk) (contribs) 00:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I renamed the article to a more accurate description of Bush's speech. -- IlyaHaykinson 04:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Featured story???
This article is very kind to Mr Bush. Remember that he is talking about a illegal war. its close to, if not, POW to bring his statement without unquestiond. Please take it away from frontside.International 13:50, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Its ok now, made it little more npow omho...International 14:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Suggesting in itself that the war is illegal shows your bias. --147.124.49.89 07:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Uhm, no. It may describe the user's point of view, but it also happens to be factual as the invasion was in violation of the USA's ratification of the UN Charter, as verified by the UN. (This also makes it, incidentally, illegal under the US Constitution which declares international treaties as the second basis for law, with legislated law third and the Constitution itself first.) -  Amgine | talk 07:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * And the user's point of view would be his....BIAS! --147.124.49.89 07:52, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * A fact, in and of itself, has no bias. -  Amgine | talk 08:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * btw: thanks for the edits; WN:SG calls for numbers to be spelled out in full, I believe (billion). -  Amgine | talk 08:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd say that's untrue, to my knowledge, at least. The only cause I can find in the Charter are those that have to do with the destruction of sovereignty.  However, one could also claim hypocrisy as there is also full documentation of the former government's various violations of both the UN Charter and the UDHR, and with the absence of sanctions all could imply that the war could be seen either ways.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) (contribs) 02:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Warning: this article as it appears on Dec. 3, 2005, clearly demonstrates a liberal (Democratic Party) bias. The wording is not neutral, or reflective of the American public's opinion as a whole. For example "Bush admitted that there had been..." cleverly slants the argument. Also, quoting the far-left Hillary Clinton in the first paragraph as an objective source clearly shows bias. An equally subjective quote from a Senator on the other side of the aisle would be appropriate. Read with grain of salt...

the word 'admitted' has been used as the administration has previously been giving positive and unqualified views of the state and capability of the iraqi security forces, see sample quotes below. the clinton quote is relevent to the substance of the paragraph it is in.

last time i checked wiki policy, quoting the "far left" was still allowed. further, wikinews edits do not aim to "reflect" the "american public opinion as a whole", they simply report what that is, as far as it can be determined.

would welcome an appropriate quote from a senator on the other side, do remember though, that there are already many quotes in the article from the white house itself, which too is "on the other side of the aisle".

sample quotes:
 * I'm encouraged by the increasing size and capability of the Iraqi security forces. Today they have more than 100 battalions operating throughout the country, and our commanders report that the Iraqi forces are serving with increasing effectiveness. In fact, this week coalition forces were able to turn over security responsibility for one of Iraq's largest cities, Karbala, to Iraqi soldiers. As Iraqi forces show they're capable of fighting the terrorists, they are earning the trust and confidence of the Iraqi people, which will ensure the success of a free and democratic Iraq.
 * The growing size and increasing capability of the Iraqi security forces are helping our coalition address a challenge we have faced since the beginning of the war.
 * Now the increasing number of more capable Iraqi troops has allowed us to keep a better hold on the cities we have taken from the terrorists.

 * Iraqis are taking control of their country, building a free nation that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself.

 * We are focusing our efforts on training the Iraqi security forces. As they become more self-reliant and take on greater security responsibilities, America and its coalition partners will increasingly assume a supporting role.

 * Professionally-trained Iraqi security forces are playing an active role in protecting their country. During the last 48 hours, for example, soldiers in the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps conducted thirteen independent patrols, resulting in the capture of several suspected insurgents. With more and more Iraqis eager to serve, Iraq's security forces now exceed 170,000 -- more than the number of Coalition forces serving in Iraq.

 * Iraqi security forces are actively defending Iraq from insurgents and extremists. Civil defense forces are conducting 25 to 30 percent of current operations inside Fallujah, and police forces are on duty in Baghdad, Karbala, and other cities to maintain order, particularly as Iraqis gather this weekend for the religious observance of Arabeen. These forces represent the vast majority of Iraqis, who favor an end to violence and are eager to continue Iraq's progress toward democracy.

Talk:U.S. military covertly pays to run stories in Iraqi press

This article is an editorial, which means it was written with intent to push or present in a positive view only one point of view of the event. While this may seem like news to some, this is quite frequent for governments to do (at some times, the US government does pay for some articles to be included into prolific news outlets). Of course, the allegations of it being propaganda would have to be backed with evidence, or stressed that only one outlet (LA Times) is reporting them as (additionally, it would have to be proven that the articles are being funded by the US Government as well - or stressed that only the LA Times is the one making the allegations). --MrMiscellanious (talk) (contribs) 00:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I cleaned up the language a little to make sure that claims that have not been verified independently from the LA Times are identified as coming from the LA Times. But by now there are also quotes from a military spokesperson in Iraq indirectly confirming the report.
 * About the US paying to get articles published. That is certainly true, but the articles need to be labeled as such. In recent cases where this did not happen pertaining to the "no child left behind act", the US Government Accountability Office has labeled it as "covert propaganda" (link to the document in question is in the sources). The article does not label the current actions of the US miltary as "propaganda". If there are no further objections, then I will publish. --vonbergm 04:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * mrm, can u please substantiate (with wn policies and guidelines) how the article (as it stood at the time ( ?)) is editorial as you claim above? r u also suggesting the subject is not newsworthy? while the source of the allegations should be reported, why shld it be *stressed* that only one outlet has reported it? as to *proving* that the articles are being funded by the government, wikipedia is not a state gazette, publishing only court verdicts - it is perfectly valid for wiki to report an  allegation (as an allegation), and report facts which appear to back (or refute) the allegation.  thanks, Doldrums 11:23, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

breaking News?
I think this article is hot enough, and still developing.International 03:40, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Not at all. Certainly not "breaking", and definitely not out of the ordinary (see above).  --MrMiscellanious (talk) (contribs) 03:52, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Red Eye
Does anyone have access to Nexis or a February edition of "Red Eye" (Chicago Tribune sub.). Apparently there is an interesting [report] on people working for the Lincoln Group that more than confirms the LA Times article. I would hesitate to report this without having someone look at the original source. --vonbergm 04:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikinews:Video news magazine

''Proposal currently in development. Feel free to critique already, but be aware that I haven't thought out most of the details yet, thus the gaping holes. -- user:zanimum''

The Wikinews Report is a monthly video news magazine project, to be created by members of the Wikimedia community at large. This proposal is an attempt to revive the hopeful vigour of the community had in the early stages of DV's original concept for "The Wikinews Report".

Being produced only monthly, the program is not meant to just cover what news at the moment, but also include how certain news stories have evolved throughout the past month. Essentially, it is like a gradually produced year in review.

Format
In the beginning, episodes will have no particular length. As we establish the amount of contributions to the project, the show will standardize to become a set length.

The show will have one primary host introducing and concluding the broadcasts, and bridging the segments together. Segments themselves will be narrated by individual reporters.

 * Wikinews: A series of 30 sec to 5 minute Wikinews news stories; while field reporting and video footage is encouraged, most segments at the start will be simply a news reader with a series of relevant free-content and fair use "slides".
 * Wikipedia: Featured articles adapted to become interest stories. Instead of the direct narrative of an encyclopedia article, these pieces would have NPOV narratives, and interviews.

US Gross Domestic Product grew during third quarter of 2005

December 1, 2005

The US government released a preliminary report on the US economy today. The report, produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, states that the economy grew by 4.3 percent in the third quarter of 2005. In the second quarter of 2005, real GDP increased 3.3 percent.

The rise is attributed to increases in personal consumption (4.2 percent), equipment and software (10.8 percent), government spending, and residential fixed investment (8.4 percent). Imports, which deduct from the GDP, also increased. Exports, however, increased.

Government consumption expenditures increased 8.1 percent. National defense had an increase of 10.3 percent. Nondefense spending increased 3.6 percent.

Gross national product, which better reflects the economy in from the employee's perspective, increased 4.4 percent in the third quarter.

Orrin Hatch accidentally compares Iraq to Vietnam

December 1, 2005

While discussing his reasons for opposing immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) had a slip of the tongue, accidentally referring to Iraq as Vietnam. "The Democratic Party seems to be taken over by the Michael Moore contingent in their attitude toward Vietnam, and they continually call for a withdrawal of troops at a time when we haven't finished the job." Hatch was speaking on Fox News. His spokesman, Peter Carr, said that Senator Hatch became confused because he had been reading an article earlier in the day comparing the two conflicts.

Hatch has been a Utah Senator since 1976, when he defeated Sen. Frank Moss (D) on a platform of term limits for U.S. Senators. He is currently running against Democrat Pete Ashdown for another term, and is expected to win re-election.

Talk:Orrin Hatch accidentally compares Iraq to Vietnam

Title
The title says that Hatch referred accidentally; however, that's an inference that we shouldn't make. -- IlyaHaykinson 06:57, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree in principle, but no good alternative adverb comes to mind. Maybe "Orrin Hatch refers to Iraq as Vietnam"?  Its pretty bland & boring, but its truthful, and "refers" makes the reader keep an open mind.  Nyarlathotep 13:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Can we mention that Ashdown is challenging Hatch on technology issues, not really Iraq? Nyarlathotep- 13:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Australian drug trafficker to be executed in Singapore tomorrow

December 1, 2005

Convicted Australian drug trafficker Van Nguyen will be executed at Singapore's Changi prison tomorrow at 6:00am SGT (8:00pm tonight UTC, 9:00am AEST). Nguyen was caught with 396.2 grams of heroin, more than 25 times the amount that mandates a death sentence.

Following an appeal to the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong by Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Nguyen was able to hold hands with his mother and brother as he said goodbye for the last time.

Supporters will hold a vigil outside the prison before his death.

On December 2, Nguyen will be handcuffed and taken to the gallows in Singapore's Changi Prison to be hanged for drug trafficking.

You've been very helpful. Thank you. Pomin Wu 06:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Category:Muhammad carricatures
I am removing this category from the site because it is not a news type category. It is a very reasonable encyclopedic category, but Wikinews is not an encyclopedia. Please desist in creating this category, or adding it to articles.

Be aware that Wikinews has an extension, DynamicPageList, which allows us to create and track combinations of categories, such Category:Islam and Category:Politics and conflicts. It works like this:

 category=Published category=Islam category=Politics and conflicts count=5

It is tools like this which make very precise categories not useful on Wikinews. I appreciate your efforts on this story, but this is not the best way to do so. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the DynamicPageList tip. But the page list would update after some time, and there's still need for readers interested in this particular event to keep a static list of related news. Categories like Category:2005-07-07_London_bombings or Category:30A_Protest serve this purpose. If making a new category isn't the best way to do this, where could I put this content? Pomin Wu 04:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I would suggest you create a project page. A project page is a page where all related stories are brought together, similar to 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. This page linked to the major stories and at one point included regular summaries of what information was known about the topic.

 * The development of long-term collections of information and analysis is not the purpose of Wikinews, however. Our archives of historic articles is easily searched via google and other search engines. We leave the in-depth articles and analysis to Wikipedia which is better equipped to maintain such articles. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:43, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll add a box in related articles suggesting readers want further information go to wikipedia. Hope this will work for now. Pomin Wu 05:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * We use quite a lote. We also go to wikipedia articles and link to wikinews using  too. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 05:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * This looks good. Thank you for the help. Pomin Wu 05:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Former UK Law Lord urges de-proscription of Iranian opposition group MEK

December 1, 2005

Former UK Law Lord Slynn of Hadley, along with 1,300 British lawyers, urged Home Secretary Jack Straw in a press conference at the British House of Lords in London to remove the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group, from the EU's list of foreign terrorist organizations.

They voiced their protest in an statement called " A Call for Justice". The statement reads: "… For detailed reasons, which are beyond the realm of this statement, renowned international legal experts have concluded that there is no legal basis for the proscription of the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran - PMOI. Terror tag on the Mujahedin is the by-product of the failed policy of appeasement with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Continuing the MEK proscription is nothing by more concession to the mullahs with serious consequences both for the region and world peace. "

The MEK is militant organisation seeking to overthrow the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Apart from the EU, the United States also consider the MEK to be a Foreign Terrorist Organisation.

Rebels launch assault in Ramadi

December 1, 2005

Reuters reports that around 400 armed men launched an attack on the town of Ramadi, seizing control of various streets in the inner city. They allegedly set up checkpoints and distributed leaflets declaring that Al-Qaeda in Iraq, a group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was taking over the city.

Reuters reports that there were no U.S. forces in the streets and that the U.S. military did not immediately respond to a request for information about the situation.

Ramadi is at the south-west of the so-called Sunni Triangle and its population-size is around 400'000.

No final embrace for condemned man

December 1, 2005

Convicted Australian drug trafficker Van Tuong Nguyen has been denied permission to embrace his mother and twin brother before his execution.

Following a request from Nguyen’s mother, Kim Nguyen, and supported by strong international pressure, Singapore refused a contact visit, but will allow them to hold hands.

In a statement released by Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, government officials said contact visits were too traumatic and destabilising for both prisoners and family members.

In response, Australia’s Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, said, "My view is that a prisoner who is to be executed confronts the greatest of all destabilisation to have his life taken away from him, so I don't really identify with that statement.”

Mr Downer then conceded that "it'll perhaps be very meagre compensation, of course it will be, but it will be nice that they can touch each other…it's better than nothing."

An unnamed Singaporean lawyer claimed contact would be made through a hole in the wall. "I think they will bring him to another room and there will be an aperture through which they can reach,” the lawyer said.

The 25-year-old Australian man was convicted of trafficking 396 grams of heroin, an offence which carries a mandatory death penalty under Singapore law. He received no remissions for a full confession.

He will be executed by hanging at 09:00 AEDT tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Australians attended protest vigils in Sydney and Melbourne tonight. Tim Goodwin from Amnesty International told the Sydney crowd that the death penalty is not an acceptable punishment. "It is ineffective, it is dangerous, it is extreme and it is the most barbaric, brutalising punishment," he said.

December 1, 2005 The Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the University of Innsbruck in Austria has created an entanglement of eight quantum particles, yielding a quantum byte or "qubyte", or eight qubits. This is an important step toward the realization of a practical quantum computer, which would use superposed quantum states to perform complex calculations. A detailed writeup of this work is available in English and German. The formal paper was published in the December 1 issue of Nature.

Contributors to the breakthrough are researchers from IQOQI under the supervision of Rainer Blatt and Hartmut Häffner in coaction with Otfried Gühne and Wolfgang Dür of the Innsbruck research group directed by Hans Jürgen Briegelhave.

With a trap using magnetic fields they captured eight calcium ions, lined them up, and set them up in "W states" using a complicated laser technology. A quantum byte with eight ions provides a computing matrix of 65,536 (0-255 x 0-255) elements that are mostly independent. It is suggested that the method should be scalable so that the number of ions could be increased. This experiment proves that the kind of ion traps used in Innsbruck are the most promising technology for the realization of large computing matrices.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dempseybrowning. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dempseybrowning~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Scott adie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Scott adie~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Welcome
Thanks for experimenting with Wikinews. Your test worked, and has now been reverted or removed. Please use Sandbox for any other tests you want to do, since testing in articles may disrupt the site's working and will be reverted quickly. 67.183.21.96, welcome to Wikinews! Please refrain from using content pages for testing. Here are a few good links for newcomers on how to edit Wikinews:
