This is a stupid question, but...
Do you know off hand if Google homepage is an online rss reader. I know its online and that it reads RSS feeds but thats not really its exact purpose(I think.) So i'm not sure if it would be classified as an online RSS reader. If it is classified as an online Rss feed reader then the new google article needs to be changed.

policy questions
Hi there Mr. M - glad we got that nasty argument sorted out in the end. For the wider policy questions about sources, I'd very much appreciate your input here: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Policy_discussion:_What_should_be_acceptable_as_a_.22credible_source.22_for_Wikinews.3F

Hi
Just a note to say that I understand things have been difficult recently but I really think that it's worth sticking with this project and trying to hammer things out. I'm sorry to read of your decision and very much hope you reconsider, or at least think it over.

Rcameronw 22:28, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, please don't quit. People should be free to edit Wikinews and if you back out, you're just giving them (whoever they are) satisfaction. --Munchkinguy 23:18, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Your withdrawal...
Please reconsider your withdrawal from Wikinews. You're a valuable editor and an excellent administrator. I understand your frustration with recent events -- I think, as someone said, the community has failed you (and itself) in many ways. I certainly think that your fellow administrators have failed you. It is unacceptable for your to become the primary target of malcontents in our community. Rejoin us and let's commit to reenforcing the sense of community, NPOV, and the wiki philosophy. --Chiacomo (talk) 05:52, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll believe it when I see it
MrMiscellanious threatened 2 months ago to quit after the founder of wikinews, Jimbo Wales, criticized him, as the user above well knows; and that had nothing at all to do with the reasons now being given for quitting.  so I can't take this resignation talk too seriously.

I have to wonder if this is not simply a way to rally support for more administrative controls; e.g.; of the site. After all, you could always change your mind and come back; and even use my words here as a reason not to leave; which is fine with me.

If this is true (resignation), the main beneficiaries will be newcomers to the project; in my opinion.Neutralizer 15:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Hopefully, MrMiscellanious will not choose to hold on to the administrative post
That would not be ethical,imo, to retain those powers while not participating in the project. Neutralizer 15:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I do not believe this person should have admin rights if he reverts edits like he did here, at 3:28pm on Oct 18th. http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Study_finds_marijuana_use_leads_to_brain_development_in_rats&action=history I removed an offtopic comment that was against wikinews policy, by ranting about the prohibition of marijuana, which has nothing to do with the article. Then I commented on something about the article, specifically how the title is misleading, and MrM reverted it.

Welcome back
Welcome back mate, nice to see you keeping the riff-raff in check. ;-) --Wolfrider 19:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Since you never indicated you would give up your admin powers; I'm glad we weren't put in the position where you quit wikinews and still held onto admin. powers. That would have been highly unethical,imo. Neutralizer 20:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Neo-nazi rally
Do not unpublish an article that has been published for several days because of a single problem author. If you had read the talk page you would have known that Gatti was the original NPOV problem and to inform you, I resorted to placing an alert on the admin alerts page because he kept publishing an undeveloped story. Consensus on the article had been reached after alot of editing and fact checking by myself and others. Sending it back to develop was completely inappropriate, especially given the fact that you had absolutely no involvement in the article's construction. For future reference it is not enough to state things like "obviously not ready" and give absolutely no reason as to the problem with the article. --Wolfrider 02:46, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

French government minister harassed by US immigration
I don't quite understand why you tagged this page as "not newsworthy". This topic was discussed by several major news sources (Le Figaro is a major newspaper, for instance).

Perhaps you meant that it was "not neutral"; but this affair opposed the governments of the US and France, and both points of view were represented — they essentially agreed that it was a rather minor incident, but that the US customs officer did a professional mistake. So there's no "POV" problem.

Now, I think I remember discussing with you on IRC (but I may be mixing people up), and my impression is that your support of the current US administration prevents you from being neutral and objective. Please try to abstract away your political leanings when you tag pages on Wikinews.

Thanks Regards, Submarine 22:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Just a few notes: Personally, I think the event is newsworthy because it may be a sign of a wider phenomenon. Begag is the only French minister to have had such problems recently (and I don't think he's the one who travels the most). Coincidentally, he's of Algerian origin. The event may or may not be a sign of racism on the part of US customs officials; certainly, it's anecdotal. However, when you think about it, many news events are anecdotal in essence. Submarine 08:06, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * the event was reported in major newspapers, so it cannot be dismissed easily;
 * the official is question is discreet about the issue, so he's not "complaining";
 * the facts have been acknowledged by two governments.

Template talk:Tropical Storm X forms over Y

May be good to keep this template intact, and copy-and-paste the text when events call for a new storm announcement. RB McLeroy 19:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems like a decent idea. Though technically we aren't supposed to copy-and-paste. While its a great template, each time its used, it would need to be edited per-storm. We can't predict the weather, so filling out blanks won't work (IMHO). Anyways, great idea (I added categories and infobar to keep story in line for Portal:Hurricanes) terinjokes | Talk | Come visit the WikiBistro 23:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Microsoft Office 12 will support PDFs

October 4, 2005

Microsoft announced yesterday that the next version of, currently code-named "", will support format exportation. Microsoft Senior Vice President said Microsoft receives 120,000 requests monthly to save documents created in Office as PDF files.

PDF is a file format created by that ensures files appear similarly on any computer operating system. PDF is an open standard, and programs can read and write PDFs. Adobe distributes software at no cost to read PDF files on many platforms. Many readers are also available.

There are many ways to create PDFs from Office documents. Users can purchase Standard ( US$299.00), and can already export any Microsoft Office document to PDFs using the free Office Suite  software. They can also use one of the many free programs that act as print drivers such as the open source. Adobe also offers a somewhat slower, but free online PDF converter on their website. While such options have long been available, the high cost, moderate difficulty and lack of awareness has discouraged PDF use in most daily exchanges of Office created documents.

Because Microsoft has no plans to create a PDF importer, it will be impossible for the Office PDF export functionality to fulfill Massachusetts' recent requirements for official, state created documents.

The first, or beta version, of Office 12 is expected in November.

Talk:"Junk" foods may affect aggressive behaviour and school performance

There are a number of problems with this article. First, the news is not relevant, as your most recent source is four years old. Can you find something on this topic that has been produced in the last month? Second, an increase in school performance is not necessarily an increase in IQ, that claim should be altered or removed.

I'm going to change the title of this article to make it more accurate. The current title seems like a statement of fact rather than a discussion about correlational/experimental data, although I'm not sure if this even belongs on Wikinews at all. --Wolfrider 02:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There's nothing new in this article. The article by C. Bernard Gesch appeared in a 2002 edition of the British Journal of Psychiatry. What may be new is the fact that "junk" is being "banned" in some schools. It may be interesting to describe why this is happening now, how people are reacting, whether the effect of this is being monitored, etc., but the article as it stands should return to being "under development". Mpulier 22:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps this would be a better addition to Wikipedia? --Wolfrider 23:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Junk Food in Schools
As a high school assistant principal with primary responsibities in dealing with student behavior, I am willing to try anything to eliminate disruptive behavior in our classrooms and hallways creating a safe learning environment for teaching and learning.
 * It might be worth talking to their administrators of the school metioned in the Ode article, or looking for other schools doing such things on google. Hope it help!  :)  - Nyarlathotep 18:18, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Where the hell did those quotation marks come from???? There is absolutely no reason for they to be there; they are dead wrong. It's Junk food, NOT "Junk" food. PLEASE remove this disgustingly incorrect punctuation. 76.248.244.232 16:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Physics Nobel Prize awarded for insights into light

October 4, 2005

Roy J. Glauber (Harvard University) won half of this year's Physics Nobel Prize, and John L. Hall (University of Colorado and National Institute of Standards and Technology) and Theodor W. Hänsch (Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching) each receive a quarter of the prize.

Glauber clarified the quantum nature of light. He showed how light composed of discrete quantum particles (photons) can be reconciled with the wave-like behavior of light. His theoretical work laid the foundations of quantum optics.

Hall and Hänsch developed methods to measure the frequency of light to extreme precisions. Their findings "have made it possible to measure frequencies with an accuracy of 15 digits," for use in highly accurate clocks and new technology for global positioning systems.

The recipients will share a 10,000,000 kronor prize (1.5 Million USD), with Glauber receiving half and Hall and Hänsch each receiving a quarter of the total.

UK cable TV operator NTL acquires Telewest

October 5, 2005 United Kingdom cable TV operator NTL has agreed to buy Telewest Broadband for $6 billion USD (3.4 billion pounds). NTL’s and Telewest’s service territories do currently overlap. The acquisition is expected to save the companies 1.5 billion pounds.

NTL has agreed to pay $23.93 for each Telewest share, in cash and NTL stock. Current Telewest shareholders will own approximately 25 percent of the combined company. While both companies operate exclusively in the UK, they are listed in New York on the U.S. NASDAQ exchange.

Once the acquisition is complete, the combined company will have 5 million customers in the UK. Competitor British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) has almost 8 million. The combined company will also be the second-largest residential telephone company in Britain behind BT Group plc.

If the deal is approved, regulators and both companies shareholders' should close in the first quarter of 2006.

Iraqi insurgents guilty of war crimes, says Human Rights Watch

October 4, 2005

Human Rights Watch yesterday released a detailed study of attacks on civilians by members of the Iraqi insurgency. The 140-page report, "A Face And A Name: Civilian Victims of Insurgent Groups in Iraq" claims to be the most comprehensive account yet produced of abuses by the Iraqi armed opposition. In the report, Human Rights Watch (HRW) also analyses and challenges a number of arguments put forward by insurgent leaders attempting to justify their attacks on civilians. HRW argues that all such attacks are illegal under international law, and violate the Geneva Convention.

"There are no justifications for targeting civilians, in Iraq or anywhere else", said an HRW spokesperson, calling on the insurgents to "respect the laws of war".

While Human Rights Watch has been vocal in condemning abuses by American and British forces in Iraq - they stress that these can never be used to excuse attacks on civilians by the insurgency.

According to Human Rights Watch, people in the Middle East are being increasingly "repulsed" by the abuses of the insurgents, whether or not they support the US-led occupation of Iraq. The organisation is now calling on figures of influence in Iraq - particularly religious leaders, to condemn the abuses publicly.

High tides sweep west Galveston Bay

October 4, 2005

Changing conditions have brought moderate east winds to the Houston/Galveston area, raising tide levels across western shores of Galveston Bay. Wind-inflated tides combined with regular high tides are resulting in maximum waters as much as four and a half feet above normal levels. Erosion due to Hurricane Rita has lowered some areas, especially sand dunes, giving an appearance of even higher tides.

The cold front expected to pass the area on Thursday will bring an end to the east winds and tide levels should return to normal.

Energy companies to raise consumer rates

October 4, 2005

Reliant Energy and CenterPoint Energy–two local utilities in Houston, Texas–plan to increase consumer rates in response to increased demand and recent disasters.

Reliant Energy is expected to raise rates to effect a 14% increase on a 1,000 kilowatt-hour bill. A typical customer could see an increase up to $20 per month. Reliant has reached an agreement with the Texas Public Utilities Commission to raise rates in two steps, once at the end of October, and again on 1 January 2006.

CenterPoint Energy must increase charges for services such as meter-reading and customer service. The Texas Public Utilities Commission prohibits natural gas companies from buying wholesale product, raising rates, and reselling. Wholesale prices of natural gas also continue to rise due to increased demand and declining domestic supply. Natural gas cannot be easily shipped to other regions like oil.

Consumer energy prices are expected to rise across the state, in some cases as much as 20%.

The Texas Public Utilities Commission must approve rate increases before they go into effect, but approval is expected.

US rejects EU proposal to give Internet control to the UN

October 3, 2005

The United States announced it does not agree with the European Union officials' proposal to share more of the control of the Internet with the United Nations. U.S. Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Ambassador David Gross said, "We will not agree to the U.N. taking over the management of the Internet." Mr. Gross is coordinator for international communications and information policy at the U.S. Department of State and said further, "Some countries want that. We think that's unacceptable. No intergovernmental body should control the Internet, whether it's the U.N. or any other."

E.U. spokesman Martin Selmay said, "We are looking for a new cooperation model; a model that allows Internet governance and the laying down of public policy principles in coordination by all countries which are interested in the governance of the Internet, because the Internet is a global resource."

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit organization responsible for the assignment of domain names and Internet Protocol addresses, currently controls the root zone files for the Internet. They are overseen by the U.S. Commerce Department, which granted them the original contract to oversee those tasks.

Many nations have expressed displeasure at the U.S. having sole control of the Internet and suggest such control should be given to an intergovernmental body, such as the U.N. Other proposals include limiting ICANN to a technical role and establishing a new external organization to handle policy issues.

The issue is scheduled to be discussed in November at the U.N. World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis, Tunisia.

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

Welcome
Amolshah, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Mrmiscellanious 00:55, 5 October 2005 (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 Amolshah. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Amolshah~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 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

User: Rcameronw has been blocked for requesting de-admin vote and alleged "trolling"
Just wanted to let people know that, following yesterday's discussion, user rcameronw has been blocked for 24 hours. It was decided that rcameronw's request for a de-admin vote constituted "site disruption". (see article talk page for more info:)

User talk:Bobby~enwikinews

Welcome
Bobby, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Mrmiscellanious 00:56, 5 October 2005 (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 Bobby. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bobby~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 23:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
