Flyers coach also acknowledged Niemi, who collected 14 of his 32 saves in the third period.

"I thought their goaltender played extremely well in the third period. We had more than enough looks to tie up that game," Laviolette said, according to the Associated Press.

After a fairly clean game on Saturday, Game 2 had a decided edge, which resulted in ten penalties. Neither team capitalized on their power play opportunities. At the 17:27 mark of the first period, three players were sent off: Chicago's Game 1 hero for roughing, with Philadelphia's Richards and  going to the box of elbowing and unsportsmanlike conduct, respectively.

Thread:Comments:Nineteen activists killed by Israeli commandos aboard aid convoy bound for Gaza/one video is worth a thousand pictures

The english wikipedia editors found that including links to some of the next videos, in their related article is appropriate.

IMO, this wikinews article ain't complete without the video footages supplied by the activisits and by the IDF. the sources don't mention that the soldiers landed barehanded, which followed using paintball guns while being beaten and only after long moments of being lynched used their handguns. people think the IDF had stormed the ship equipped with machineguns, or shooting from the air. this videos has great importance since it gives the clearest view of the first moments of the takeover, and shows exactly that the soldiers were acting by a self defence (it is important to say that there were no significant events in the other vessels)

the lack of videos regarding the claim of shooting before the boarding doesn't contradict the occurrence seen in the above links, supporting the claims of the attacks on the israeli troops.

Egypt to open Gaza Strip crossing for humanitarian and medical aid

June 1, 2010

Egypt will open a Gaza Strip crossing for humanitarian and medical aid.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak ordered the opening of the Rafah Border Crossing. Food and medical supplies will be allowed, but not concrete or steel. It will be made available for ill and injured Palestinians seeking medical treatment.

Rafah is the only point on the Gaza border not controlled by Israel; a 2005 agreement put Palestine and Israel in charge of the border, with observation from the European Union. United Nations officials had demanded an end to the Gaza blockade.

This comes after there has been of the death of activists when  raided Turkish ships in the international waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The six-ship “Freedom Flotilla” was carrying some 10,000 tonnes of supplies and was planning to breach the Gaza blockade. Details are unknown, with information limited to Israeli military briefings.

Reports from the people on the ship seem to counter your assertion. Check CNN's interview with one of the Americans who was on the ship. Or read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/10208027.stm

It is my understanding that 1) It took many hours for these videos to be released after the incident. 2) The live video feed, onboard the boat, was cut/scrambled after the first two were killed and the white flag was raised. 3) When the journalists and activists, that were aboard, are released we might know more.

Template talk:NewPortal

Per the recent wailing and gnashing of teeth, I hereby present the new design for portal templates.

French Open: Stosur and Schiavone to compete in women's final; Nadal to meet Soderling in men's final

June 4, 2010

Australia's will compete against Italy's  for the women's title in this year's, while 's  will go up against 's.

In the women's semifinals, Stosur easily defeated, once , while Schiavone's opponent decided to withdraw due to a torn  after losing one set to Schiavone. Stosur and Schiavone will face off at the this Saturday for the final round of the French Open. As this is the first final for both players, a victory for either will mean her first major championship title. Schiavone is also the first Italian woman to compete in a Grand Slam semifinal match. However, this is not the first time the two have met: Stosur beat Schiavone in the opening round of last year's French Open, and again in later that year.

This year's championship has been one with several major upsets. None of the top three women in the event, including sisters and, made it to the semifinals. In fact, none of the female semifinalists this year have ever won a Grand Slam title, which has not occurred at the French Open for over 30 years.

In a major upset for the men's title, Robin Soderling defeated Swiss player in a quarterfinal match of the French Open Tuesday, ending Federer's streak of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearances. Federer could also lose his status as number one in the world to rival Rafael Nadal if Nadal wins this year's French Open. However, Soderling is known for being the only person to have defeated Nadal in the French Open. In the men's semifinals earlier today, the 24-year-old Nadal beat Austria's, and Soderling defeated Czech player. If Nadal beats Soderling in this Sunday's final round, it will be his fifth French Open title.

Apple sells two million iPads in two months

June 3, 2010

Apple announced Monday that it has sold over two million, just two months after the device began shipping in the US and only days after its international launch.

Apple shares rose 2.9 percent (US$7.41) to US$264.29 Tuesday afternoon. Market analysts also upped price targets and sales estimates in response to the announcement. Shares for, who provides data plans for the iPad, also rose yesterday.

Prior to the iPad's April 3 launch, many analysts had speculated about the viability and marketability of the device. However, iPad sales have been faster than anticipated. Although it was only expected to sell one million iPads for the whole quarter, Apple announced in early May that it had surpassed the one-million mark in just 28 days. It again surprised industry watchers, who were expecting about 1.6–1.7 million iPads to have been sold when Apple announced that it had passed the two-million mark. iPad sales may make up over ten percent of Apple's revenue this quarter, a feat that took the twice as long to achieve. The iPad has been so popular and supplies of the tablet so low that Apple tried to place limits on the number of iPads a person can purchase earlier.

Apple had postponed sales of the iPad to Europe and Asia until last weekend due to strong demand for the tablet in the US. In addition to the US, it now sells the devices in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K., and will begin shipping iPads to Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Singapore in July.

US Supreme Court relaxes strict interpretation of self incrimination ruling

June 2, 2010

In a 5–4 decision on Tuesday, the US Supreme Court ruled that once a suspect of a criminal investigation is informed of his right to remain silent, he must specifically invoke that right if he does not want his words to be used against him.

The case involved a fatal shooting in 2000 in Michigan committed by Van Chester Thompkins. Before questioning, he was informed of his rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to consult an attorney, but Thompkins did not tell the officer he wished to invoke those rights. During questioning, the suspect gave few, limited responses. After about two hours and forty-five minutes, however, the interrogator asked "Do you pray to God to forgive you for shooting that boy down?" Thompkins replied "yes". Even though he refused to sign a confession, that one-word statement was used against him in trial, and Thompkins was convicted of first-degree murder.

The conviction was upheld by Michigan state courts and a federal district court, but was overturned by the. The Supreme Court disagreed and subsequently reinstated the conviction.

In the case, designated Berghuis v. Thompkins, the high court's conservative majority observed that since he was already informed of his rights, the defendant waived those rights when he voluntarily made an incriminating statement during interrogation. The majority opinion was written by Associate Justice, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and.

The court's decision continues a recent trend of siding with the police and restricting the rights of criminal suspects. In her dissenting opinion, Associate Justice wrote that the decision is a step back from protections against forced self incrimination as provided for in the landmark 1966 case . She was joined by the court's other three liberal associate justices: John Paul Stevens,, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Benjamin Netanyahu decided that Israel will not prosecute or continue to hold the activists it captured. "It was agreed that the detainees would be deported immediately," said a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister, as Israel comes under fire for its actions in the incident.

Although some reports indicated that more had died, it's now believed that nine people were killed in the Israeli attack on the convoy, although one witness put the death toll at as high as sixteen. The details of the raid still remain unclear and repatriated flotilla activists have challenged the Israeli version of the.

Israel's defense minister,, visited troops who had been involved in the incident, saying that [W]e need to always remember that we aren't North America or Western Europe, we live in the Middle East, in a place where there is no mercy for the weak and there aren't second chances for those who don't defend themselves.

Israel officially expelled 48 of the 682 of the activists on Tuesday, after they signed documents saying they entered Israel illegally. The activists who refused to sign the document were detained at the southern Israeli prison of. Some 30 wounded activists were still detained in hospitals, the Red Cross said it was granted access to the detainees.

Jetstar to offer iPads as an in-flight entertainment option

June 2, 2010

, a Qantas owned Australian low-cost airline, has announced plans to trial Apple as an in-flight entertainment option. This trial would make Jetstar one of the first airlines in the world to offer the iPad.

Starting later this month, Jetstar plans to begin a two-week trial, during which passengers will have the option to rent iPads for 10 on domestic flights longer than an hour. Thirty iPads would be available on each test plane. These devices would be preloaded with games, e-books, music and video content. Internet access however will be disabled as per Jetstar's policy on internet connected devices, said spokeswoman Andrea Wait.

The iPads offered by Jetstar, will be specially customized by. Bluebox Avionics, at present, is the only company to offer iPads as part of an in-flight entertainment system. Jetstar will be the first to offer the Bluebox Avionics iPad based systems, though, Bluebox Avionics has said the system will be available to other airlines soon.

Shortly following the initial release of the iPad, Jetstar chief information officer Stephen Tame speculated that the iPad "may lead in the future the end of airline in-flight entertainment systems". Depending on the results of the trial, iPads may replace existing Jetstar in-flight entertainment systems.

Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan said he expected the iPads to be very popular during the trial. If the trial is successful, the airline would “be looking to roll out the devices across our entire domestic and international network later in the year", said Buchanan.

The part about Bluebox providing the services to Jetstar appears to not be sourced, and there are two conflicting prices, both of which don't provide currencies. Please fix. Griffinofwales (talk) 01:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a source that fixes the Bluebox thing, it was implied by the Crave article, but it whould have been clearer. The prices issue is because the AU papers are assuming AUD, while the HI paper is in USD (10AUD is ~= 8.50USD).

the ex governor did not increase income tax. (income tax is unfair.) it taxes people with income, but it does not tax rich people without income(only the interest on their estate). it should be replaced by a state property tax (that includes yearly income.) the basic reason for his trial is his refusal to increase income taxes. If he is found guilty, future historians will point to his trial, as one of the basic reason for the failure of this government.

Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to resign

June 2, 2010

Japanese Yukio Hatoyama resigned today, following a controversial move regarding a US military base.

Hatoyama told a news conference broadcast nationwide that he will step down after a broken campaign promise to move a US base off the southern island of. The decision to resign followed poor poll ratings for Japan's in an upcoming parliamentary election. Members of the party have called for Hatoyama's resignation in order to preserve their chances of victory in the election. He is expected to formally resign before a meeting of party leaders today.

Hatoyama had previously won a landslide election last August, but his approval ratings of late were around 20%. He will likely be succeeded by current Japanese Finance Minister Naoto Kan. Hatoyama also mentioned a series of money scandals that had plagued him in his decision to resign. Democratic Party secretary-general, who was involved in the scandals, also agreed to leave when asked by Hatoyama. He will be the fourth Japanese leader in a row to resign without being in office for a year.

Hatoyama had made a deal Friday with US Barack Obama to retain the Marine base on Okinawa, citing threats to both countries' national security, but the agreement was strongly opposed in Japan. His resignation means that the deal may not go through after all.

Wikinews:Briefs/June 1, 2010

Promo
Today on Wikinews : Egypt allows aid to cross into the Gaza strip; ancient Chinese relics are discovered at The Ruins of St. Paul; Patrick Gillett gives us his account of the latest match in the Gippsland Football League and, in history, Yang Yuhuan, beloved consort to Chinese emperor Xuanzong is born.

Today is Tuesday, June 1st, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and this is Wikinews.

Egypt to open Gaza Strip crossing for humanitarian and medical aid (0:34)
As United Nations officials have demanded an end to the Gaza blockade, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has ordered the opening of the Rafah Border Crossing into the Gaza Strip allowing for humanitarian and medical aid to pass through. Food and medical supplies will be allowed, but not concrete or steel. It will also be made available for ill and injured Palestinians seeking medical treatment.

Rafah is the only point on the Gaza border not controlled by Israel; a 2005 agreement put both the Palestinian's and Israel in charge of the border, with observation from the European Union.

The opening comes after international criticism of the death of activists when Israeli commandos raided Turkish ships in international waters that were carrying some 10,000 tonnes of supplies and were planning to breach the Gaza blockade.

Relics found behind The Ruins of St. Paul, Macau (1:27)
Relics dating back to the Qing Dynasty were found under the civil servants' quarters adjacent to The Ruins of St. Paul, a 17th century Portuguese cathedral, in Macau, China by archaeological teams at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Since St Paul's College is believed to have been located under those quarters, the Macau government will demolish them in order to assist with the experts' findings at the Ruins of St. Paul. A 2 block area around the cite was already demolished in March to make room for the archaeological project.

The relics included Chinese-styled porcelain tiles, eave tiles, potteries and iron artillery shells. Furthermore, part of an ancient wall was found at a nearby construction site.

The walls are confirmed as part of the Ruins of St. Paul, matching maps dating back to 1760, 1886 and 1912. Examinations of the walls have shown they were constructed with at least by 5 layers of stone, on top of them 2 layers of blue bricks, as well as rammed earth each measuring at least 10 centimeters thick.

The remaining 2 buildings in the area will be demolished next week for further investigation.

In our continuing coverage of the Gippsland Football League, we have a special report from Wikinews reporter Patrick Gillett on the latest standings in the league.

Australian rules football: Maffra go a game clear ahead of Traralgon clash (2:38)
Read by Patrick Gillett (transcript not avaiable).

Thank you, Pat.

Now, moving from football to ice hockey,

Ice hockey: Blackhawks score two goals in 28 seconds to gain 2-0 series lead in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals (3:17)
the Chicago Blackhawks scored two goals just 28 seconds apart late in the second period to take a 2–0 series lead over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 2 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals Monday night in Chicago, United States.

Ben Eager scored the game-winner on a wrist shot from 38 feet at the 17:37 mark of the second period.

Unlike the first game, this one was marked by impressive defensive efforts from both sides. Chicago goalkeeper Antti Niemi made 32 saves, earning the Player-of-the-Game honor from the National Hockey League. His counterpart, Michael Leighton, who was pulled in Game 1 after giving up five goals, collected 24 saves.

Chicago and Philadelphia will continue their best-of-seven series on Wednesday night at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center. The Stanley Cup will determine the 2009–10 National Hockey League champion after the top 16 teams earned the right to compete in the postseason. The NHL has 30 teams in the United States and Canada and attracts many international players.

On this day in history (4:24)

In 719, one of the Four Great Beauties of ancient China is born; her name is Consort Yang Yuhuan.

In her era, Yang was known for having a full and fleshy figure, which was a much sought-after quality at the time, but must not be viewed in the modern context of someone who is extremely overweight. Her story too is quite beautiful but as with each of the Four Great Beauties who gained their reputation from the influence they exercised over kings and emperors three of the Four Beauties brought kingdoms to their knees, and the lives of all four ended in tragic or under mysterious circumstances.

Yang Yuhuan was born early in the reign of her future husband Emperor Xuanzong, the seventh and longest reigning emperor of the Tang dynasty in China. Her father served as a census official at Shu Prefecture and appeared to be sonless, but he had four daughters, all known to history and who were also beautiful. Yet her father died when she was still young and so she was raised by her uncle who was a low-level official at Henan Municipality.

In 733, Yang Yuhuan married the son of Emperor Xuanzong and Consort Wu, Li Mao the Prince of Shou when she was 16. She thus carried the title of Princess of Shou but after Consort Wu died in 737, Emperor Xuanzong was greatly saddened by the death of his then-favorite concubine. Though it is unknown how, Princess Yang somehow came into the Emperor's favor and he decided to take her as his own consort.

However, since Princess Yang was already the wife of his son, Emperor Xuanzong stealthily arranged her to become a Taoist nun in order to prevent criticisms that would affect his plan of making her his concubine. Yang then stayed, for a brief time, as a Taoist nun in the palace before Emperor Xuanzong made her an imperial consort after bestowing his son Li Mao a new wife, the daughter of a general. Yang hence became the favorite consort of the emperor like Consort Wu before her.

Yang Yuhuan was held in such high esteem as consort by the emperor that he created a new rank of Guifei, which was even greater than the previously highest rank of Huifei, held by Consort Wu. He also bestowed posthumous honors on her father and gave high offices to the uncle who had raised her. Her three sisters were each made Ladies of Han and it was said that whenever the noble women were summoned to imperial gatherings, even Emperor Xuanzong's highly honored sister, the Princess Yuzhen, did not dare to take a seat more honorable than theirs.

Consort Yang became so favored that whenever she rode a horse, the powerful eunuch Gao Lishi, believed to have been richer than many of the nobility of the era, would personally attend to her. 700 laborers were conscripted to sew fabrics for her and officials and generals flattered her by offering her exquisite tributes.

Apparently, having a strong willed personality, in 746, there was an occasion when she angered the Emperor by being jealous and rude to him, and he had her sent to her cousin's mansion. However, later that day, his mood was such that he could not eat, and the servants were battered by him for minor offenses. Gao Lishi knew that he missed Consort Yang, and Gao requested that the treasures in Consort Yang's palace be sent to her. The Emperor agreed and even added that imperial meals be sent to her. That night, Gao requested that the Emperor welcome Consort Yang back to the palace, a request he easily agreed to. Thereafter, she was even more favored, and no other imperial consort drew more favor from the Emperor.

4 years later, she once again offended the Emperor, who at first sent her away, then regretted the decision, sent her imperial meals once more and as she ate, she cried to the eunuchs delivering the meal, stating:

"My offense deserves death, and it is fortunate that His Imperial Majesty did not kill me, but instead returned me to my household. I will forever leave the palace. My gold, jade, and treasures were all given me by His Imperial Majesty, and it would be inappropriate for me to offer them back to him. Only what my parents gave me I would dare to offer."

She cut off some of her hair and had the hair taken back to Emperor Xuanzong. Emperor Xuanzong had Gao escort her back to the palace, and thereafter loved her even greater.

Her influence and cunning had become so great that in 752, when her powerful cousin Yang Guozhong was requested to defend against an attack in what is now modern day Chengdu, Sichuan, she interceded on his behalf, and the requesting chancellor soon died, allowing Yang Guozhong to become the new chancellor.

Yet her cousin and another powerful military commander, An Lushan, were soon in conflict with each other and when Yang Guozhong provoked his rival into rebelling, the situation became so dire in the region that the Emperor considered abdicating the throne to an enemy of Yang Guozhong but Consort Yang intervened again and the emperor relented.

Unfortunately the situation grew worse and soon An Lushan had the upper hand militarily forcing the emperor to personally escort Yang Guozhong as he fled towards Chengdu. On 15 July, 756, the emperors imperial guards became angry that they had not been fed, and, fearing Yang Guozhong was planning treason, attacked and killed him. The soldiers then surrounded Emperor Xuanzong's pavilion and demanded that Consort Yang also be put to death believing her enormous influence with the emperor had created the situation in the first place. The the emperor initially declined, Gao Lishi, the powerful eunuch, changed the emperor's mind and so Gao Lishi took her to a Buddhist shrine and strangled her.

Consort Yang was buried without a coffin, but instead with masses of fragrances and was wrapped in purple blankets. A year later, the emperor wanted to locate her body and rebury her with honor but was advised against doing so. Yet secretly he sent eunuchs to rebury her with a coffin. When they found the body, it had decomposed, but the fragrance bag buried with her was still fresh. When the eunuchs returned with the fragrance bag and presented it to the emperor, he wept bitterly.

In the following generation, a long poem, "Song of the Everlasting Sorrow" was written by the poet Bai Juyi describing the Emperor's love for her and perpetual grief at her loss. It became an instant classic, known to and memorized by Chinese schoolchildren far into posterity. The poem also became highly popular in Japan and served as sources of inspiration for the classical novel The Tale of Genji which begins with the doomed love between an emperor and a consort who is likened to Consort Yang.

A Japanese rumor states that Lady Yang may have even been rescued, escaping to Japan and lived her remaining life there.

Thread:Comments:Nineteen activists killed by Israeli commandos aboard aid convoy bound for Gaza/Possible contradiction to the Israeli position that it was self-defense/reply (2)

really good reasoning, always give up the fight if things start to get ugly. The only downside is that all things like the american revolution are never going to happen. But hey! At least no accident happened and no one will be paying attention. By the way all this mess happened because Israel fucked up completely on managing the situation, they could have stopped the ships in others ways or sent people who know how to deal with riots without resorting to deadly force. I really have the impression that today Israel leadership don't know how to resolve the extremism on both part.

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 Rose. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rose~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 23:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thirteen die in Cumbria, United Kingdom, after series of shootings

June 2, 2010 Police have found the body of a man they had been hunting in, United Kingdom for a series of shootings. Police later confirmed that twelve people had been killed with a further thirteen injured, three critically. Shots were fired in, and , with a total of thirty different crime scenes. The nuclear reprocessing plant was locked down for the first time in its history.

The prime suspect was named as 52 year old local man Derrick Bird, a taxi driver. The first of Bird's victims was a fellow taxi driver shot in at about 10.30 local time, with the following victims being shot at random as Bird drove down the west coast. Originally driving a Citroën Picasso, he was later said to be on foot when he crashed his vehicle.

Members of the public were advised by police to stay indoors, and for those who saw him not to approach him, but to call them. The manhunt covered the or  area, and at 14:04  (13:04 ) the Deputy Chief Constable of Cumbria reported that a body believed to be Bird was found in a wood near Boot with a firearm, and that he had turned the weapon on himself. The affected area is popular with walkers and hikers, and currently, many schools across England are on half term, meaning the pupils have no classes.

British news network BBC News spoke to several eye-witnesses in relation to the incidents, from each of the areas, including Peter Watson of Whitehaven. "When I first got here it must have just happened. There was a man lying on the ground with police stood over him and a jacket on him," he reported.

Home Secretary Theresa May is due to make a statement on the incident to the House of Commons tomorrow.

User talk:The Rambling Man

Despite wanting to contribute here recently, it's come to my attention that some individuals in this wiki have not a single clue how to treat long-term Wikimedia contributors. I will never contribute to the articles in this wiki again, just in case someone indefinitely blocks me because someone in my family gets taken seriously ill. Disgraceful. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:59, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Question
Are you retired from Wikinews or not?. Also, stop trolling. We don't want more drama. --Diego Grez return fire 21:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless of your retired status or not, I'm going to have to agree with Diego's request and ask you to stop trolling. Edits like this are not helping the situation and I'd like to ask you to refrain from doing so.  Your standing on the topic of BrianMc is noted, and your sarcasm does not help in the least.  -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 21:26, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I said I wasn't editing articles any more. The treatment of established Wikimedia volunteers on this project is a complete joke.  In fact it's worse than that, it's criminal and disgusting.  And the elevation to some kind of Godhead of particular users which then seems to render them immortal is worse still.  This project is doomed, and should be closed down post-haste as a real waste of Wikimedia funding.  Especially as Wikipedia seems to beat this project hands-down on anything newsworthy.  Perhaps this could be renamed "Wikiolds".  You've made your bed, now you have to lie in it I'm afraid, and sniping at, misrepresenting and sullying the name of good editors should be taken seriously, not just "oh, yeah, that, no more dramaz please".  Once more, disgusting joke.  Also interesting to note that you two are both supporters of said Godhead.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Emotions are charged
I appreciate that you are upset and angry with the whole affair surrounding Matthew and you are not alone in this. Emotions have been running high, to say the least, since this started; indeed I would say that what happened on WN:AAA and his talkpage were due to emotions spiralling out of control. I think everyone needs to take a good, hard look at what happened, that apologies should be made where they are due, and that this sort of behaviour never happens again.

I realise that you and Matthew will probably never want to edit on Wikinews again and that is quite understandable. However I still believe in this project and I feel saddened that you would like to throw the baby out with the bathwater. A number of us do our utmost to ensure Wikinews carries on, despite the lack of any real sort of contributor base, and I for one will continue to do so. Regards --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 21:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your calm tones and good faith Alexandr. Unlike many of your colleagues.  I know what it feels like to try to keep a project's head above the water, and I hope you and your like-minded friends do so.  Right now I'm blown away by elements here that I've not witnessed in English Wikipedia in over five years.  I wish you luck, Alexandr, and once again, appreciate your calm approach here.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Alexandr's words. Just a few number of us work on trying to make Wikinews work. We are just a few and even Brian McNeil doesn't writes for long. --Diego Grez return fire 21:59, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand Diego. But this incident has undermined the project, as far as I'm concerned.  You may be few people, but when some experienced Wikipedia editors show up to help, one of them gets treated like total dirt, the chief instigator seems to be getting away scot-free.  Not a good vibe. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:02, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Very well said, Alexandr; I couldn't have phrased myself better. I can totally agree with the anger that you and Matthew are feeling right now; this is the first time I've seen Wikinews' community in such a light, and I don't like it at all. Truth be told, I think that we are taking our policy of "you can be blunt and don't beat around the bush" too far, to the extent that contributors with honest intentions are getting mowed down by people too eager to criticise. I'm already working to counteract this, and have created WN:AGF, which has before been a redlink. Tempodivalse [talk]  22:05, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Glad to see AGF now exists here. It should be a core principle of any Wikimedia project.  And indefinite blocks are usually to "protect" the project, not to "punish" editors.  That needs to be worked out as well. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

 * That's a nice start. I also understand that, Rambling, Wikinews has since become a madhouse. Two admins resigned, and I myself resigned my reviewer rights (I'll eventually ask for them back when all of this passes away), but don't let this make you feel disappointed or anything (this goes for you and Matthew), Wikinews is very friendly when it wants to be, but right now it seems like a whorehouse. --Diego Grez return fire 22:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Understood Diego. I want to see this work out positively, but up until recently, it appeared the community here weren't that bothered about the treatment that Matthew received.  The Rambling Man (talk) 22:14, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Please understand; we do, most of us, care. I will be the first to admit that what happened to him was shameful and unacceptable, but we're trying to make it right. Like Tempo said, we (finally) have assume good faith, and I personally hope that this incident will help the community see that maybe we need to think about the effects our actions have on others. We need to take a good, hard look at what we are and what we want to be, and right now, there's a huge gap between the two. C628 (talk) 22:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, maybe because he didn't said anything (because of the reasons he already said). Now we know his reasons and that makes us feel like idiots. --Diego Grez return fire 22:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * But the failing here is because there was no AGF here. Why would someone be indef blocked for not coming back to Wikinews for a while?  Why couldn't someone have said "Hope he's okay", instead of "he took the piss, so we're collectively banish him".  The Rambling Man (talk) 22:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think one of the issues here is that we try to distance ourselves from Wikipedia. We do share some things in common, but we try to do everything the opposite of what they do. I, and most other active Wikinewsies here, find WP's AGF policy to be at times ridiculously bureaucratic and preventing straightforward discussion; thus, we are much more open and honest with each other here - sometimes too much. (Probably not the best rationale, but the way I sometimes think of it.) Like I said before though, I never thought it was this bad until this Matthew incident. I guess a crisis is the best test of character, as they say. Tempodivalse [talk]  22:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm bemused as to why McNeil believes AGF means is synonymous with assuming sources to be accurate. This is more about how you treat fellow editors, not about how you treat sources.  I'm also bemused as to why an indefinite block was punitively handed out.  Was Matthew vandalising the wiki?  Perhaps your blocking policy is very, very different from all other Wikimedia projects?

Israel to release activists arrested in flotilla raid

June 2, 2010Israel plans to release all of the activists it arrested in its raid on ships traveling to the Gaza Strip in an effort to provide aid sometime today, as it comes under fire for its actions in the incident.

By Wednesday morning, around 120 people had been deported of the 682 that were arrested, with the remainder planned to be expelled from Israel within 24 hours. Although some reports indicated that more had died, it's now believed that only nine people were killed in the Israeli attack on the convoy, although one witness put the death toll at as high as sixteen.

The attack has been widely condemned by the international community, especially Turkey, whose prime minister called the incident a "bloody massacre." A statement from Turkey's Parliament said that "[t]his attack was an open violation of United Nations rules and international law." Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now envoy to a group negotiating for peace in the Middle East, the said that the incident was a "terrible, horrible and tragic incident."

Turkey has already recalled its ambassador to Israel, a move that came on Monday, and according to the Israeli media, families of Israeli diplomats are being evicted from Turkey.

Israel's defense minister,, visited troops who had been involved in the incident, saying that "[w]e need to always remember that we aren't North America or Western Europe, we live in the Middle East, in a place where there is no mercy for the weak and there aren't second chances for those who don't defend themselves."

The origins of the raid are still unclear; Israel says that their troops had opened fire in self-defense after being attacked when they boarded a ship. Other reports from witnesses said that there had been only wooden sticks on board the vessels under the control of activists, however, and an Israeli official said that troops had attacked while still overhead the ships in helicopters.

The P.M.R.C. really was the best thing ever to happen to music over in the States. They really put so many deserving and talented artists firmly on the map in their attempts to destroy them. Thank you Tipper. Harder, Faster!

User talk:Brian McNeil/Tour of California/Attachment 01

                                        Wikinews - “The free news source that you can write.” Brian McNeil. Project Bureaucrat & Accredited Reporter. Email: brian.mcneil@wikinewsie.org Phone: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To Whom It May Concern, The bearer of this letter, Mr Matthew Edwards, has agreed to report on the 2010 Tour of California for Wikinews, the news-based sister project to Wikipedia. This on a freelance basis. It would be greatly appreciated if you can facilitate Mr Edwards' access to competitors, and otherwise-reserved-for-the-press areas, within the Tour's managed facilities. I have every reason to believe that, whilst independent of Wikinews, and the Wikimedia Foundation, Mr Edwards will comport himself professionally and bring neither us, nor yourselves, into disrepute. Mr Edwards has, temporarily, been provided with the email address matthew.edwards@wikinewsie.org for any issues relating to his Tour coverage. I can be contacted via email at brian.mcneil@wikinewsie.org, or phoned on the above number. Please be understanding of the fact that I am UK-based, and may have issues returning calls in a timely fashion. Faithfully, Brian McNeil Wikinews, “Facts don't cease to be facts, but news ceases to be news”.

Thread:Comments:Nineteen activists killed by Israeli commandos aboard aid convoy bound for Gaza/one video is worth a thousand pictures/reply (4)

Its time for the Israeli leadership to wake up and smell the manure they're sitting in. First they must get a grip and realise that there are international laws they must observe, Secondly they should apologize for the IDF's clumsy attempts to rewrite history by fabricating the idea that somehow they were attacked first - which is obviously utter nonsense. The authorities behind this unprovoked act of aggression must be brought to justice. As Israel is not party to the International Criminal Court, they have created a situation in which their nationals can escape prosecution for such atrocities. It is time for The UN to step in and impose serious sanctions against all arms trade to Israel. Meanwhile The UN should redouble its efforts to force Israel to recognize Palestinian rights, including the right of return. The world community should unite and not neglect to use this opportunity to put an end to the occupation and the decades of resulting violence that have marked the region for so long.

User talk:Pmcnally~enwikinews

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 Pmcnally. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pmcnally~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 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 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. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
