Wikinews talk:Requests for arbitration/Brian New Zealand vs. Amgine/Evidence

Recuse responsibility; CSpurrier
I feel that in keeping with a high standard of appearance of unbiased jurisprudence that CSpurrier should recuse himself from this particular arbitration because;

CSpurrier previously felt Amgine was not even subject to an Rfda Neutralizer 13:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Moved from Evidence page as this is not actually evidence by --Chiacomo (talk) 14:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I voted oppose because the vote was for a nonsensical reason to be deadmined, not because I think Amgine should be exempt to rfdas. All of the people who voted except for you voted oppose. The only members of the arbcom who did not vote were Deprifry and Edbrown05. It is silly for a third party such as your self to ask for arbcom members to recuse, especially for this reason. If a party to the dispute would ask me to recuse myself and had a better reason, I would certainly consider it. --Cspurrier 15:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Is the record of your edit wrong? What it says is;"We have no policy for deadmining, user who have "left" the project". --Cspurrier 23:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)..Your edit said nothing about nonsensical reason; please clarify whether the history of your edit is accurate or not, if you would please. Neutralizer 23:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * its non-sensical because its not a valid reason, we have no policy for de-admining people who left (unlike or ). Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 23:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Recuse responsibility; Chiacomo
I feel that in keeping with a high standard of appearance of unbiased jurisprudence that Chiacomo should recuse himself from this particular arbitration because;

Chiacomo acknowledged that he is a friend of Amgine's before accepting the role of mediator on one of Amgine's mediations. If it was important enough to state then, perhaps it doesn't hurt to also state now; at least it would seem to me.This process should be seen to be unbiased as well as actually being unbiased,at least in my opinion. Neutralizer 13:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Moved from Evidence page as this is not actually evidence by --Chiacomo (talk) 14:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Removal of evidence from the evidence page
I was advised to put the recuse evidence on the evidence page and my submission above should not have been moved to the talk page, especially by one of the 2 admins. my comments addressed. If the majority of the arbitrators don't think the recuse evidence should be on the evidence page then that's fine, but I think it is recuse evidence relative to this particular case. Neutralizer 18:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The evidence does not directly relate to the case before the arbitration committee. If you wish to become an involved party, you are more than welcome, of course. Please submit evidence that is germane to the issue, namely the out-of-process/policy deletion of material from Wikinews by an administrator. The recusal of arbitrators is not relevant to whether or not an administrator deleted something improperly. --Chiacomo (talk) 18:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It is so ridiculously inappropriate for Chiacomo to be pushing this evidence off of the evidence page with Amgine pushing/reassuring via my talk page since this information relates to them directly. If other arbitrators want to move this recuse evidence that would be so much less inappropriate.
 * In addition; the evidence page is exactly where this evidence should be because it is directly related to the case and is invited by the words of the first sentence of the evidence page itself. As with any hearing, all evidence relating to the complaint or any possible appearance of bias in any member of the court is presented in open court (not off to the side where it may be missed). I have no idea why the parties which are addressed by this recuse info feel it must be they themselves who determine that it should be taken off the evidence page; just let someone else do it if it is determined to be there inappropriately,please. Neutralizer 20:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your concern. I do not intend to recuse myself. I will have no trouble fairly making a decision in this matter. Please explain to me how this "evidence" is related to Amgine's deletion of Wikinews content out of process. How is it directly related to the case? I can understand how it might relate to bias, but arbitrator bias had nothing to do with Amgine's actions. Because an arbitrator might be biased toward (or against) Amgine or BNZ is not relevant to the action of the involved parties as presented on the /Evidence page. --Chiacomo (talk) 21:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Chiacomo, under what authority do you claim to have sole and personal authority over whether or not you are recused? Certainly that is a quite abnormal claim;  Neutralizer 23:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

What happened to ", whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page"
I was under the impression that, anyone now could submit a statement, now the request had been Okayed, has this changed? (quote ''"Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name") Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 21:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry did not read the above talk Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 21:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, to add another voice to this - what was added was not evidence relevant to the case. The people who should be raising objections about possible conflicts of interest or bias are the involved parties.  --Brian McNeil / talk 21:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I must admit I did not read that sentence as well as I should have, so my edit summary ended up being a bit off. While I disagree with that part of the rules, if it was actual evidence relating to the content of the case under the current rules he does have the right to post it. However it has nothing to do with the case. An arbitrators decision to recuse themselves is a personal decision  and is no concern of other arbitrators.   --Cspurrier 21:57, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Cspurrier's opinion is wrong,imo, and a disclosure of possible recusement evidence definitely relates to the case. Neutralizer 23:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Cspurrier, please read this short paragraph of the Wikipedia:Arbitration policywhich shows;

A;"Users who believe Arbitrators have a conflict of interest should post an appropriate statement during the Arbitration process." and

B; The use of the word "required" "required to recuse themselves". It was not right for you to remove the very polite statement I put on the evidence page which concerned you directly and it was wrong of you to say "An arbitrators decision to recuse themselves is a personal decision  and is no concern of other arbitrators" in both fact and wiki-spirit, at least I think so. Neutralizer 00:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

CSpurriers removal of evidence related to himself was inappropriate
Cspurrier, under what authority do you claim to have sole and personal authority over whether or not you are recused? That is a very abnormal power for an arbitrator to possess; please provide a policy reference substantiating your claim that it "is a personal decision".
 * In addition, It is so ridiculously inappropriate for Cspurrier to be pushing this evidence off of the evidence page since this information relates to them directly. If other arbitrators want to move this recuse evidence that would be so much less inappropriate. Neutralizer 23:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Likelyhood of babel boxes getting zapped via DR
I have randomly looked at some of the deletions BNZ has highlighted as disruptive behaviour on the part of Amgine, all were for babel boxes that do not use the wiki's accepted language. My, albeit blunt, opinion is that these could possibly be qualified under speedy as they are not in English. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * hmm, thats an intreasting point of view, I never thought about it that way. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 23:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

An Arbitrator is not the sole recuse decision maker
Recuse reference specific to Arbitrators Source;

"What disclosures should an arbitrator make to the parties before commencing the arbitration? Avoiding not only bias, but also the appearance of bias, is of vital importance to the success of an arbitration. In general, the Committee recommends that full disclosure of all knowledge and relationships to parties and their counsel be made by arbitrators in writing in advance of the hearing. Arbitrators must disclose to the parties in advance of the arbitration hearing any dealings that might create an impression of possible bias. Britz, Inc. v. Alfa-Lavel Food & Dairy Co. (1995) 34 Cal. App. 4th 1085, 1102.

Code of Civil Procedure section 1282(e) requires that an arbitrator disqualify himself or herself, upon the demand of any party," ....see source. Neutralizer 23:36, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Please see the Wikipedia policy on recusals. The accompanying talk page indicates that the individual arbitrator is the sole decision maker on his own recusal. I should note that our procedures are not defined by any policy -- except that which we make ourselves. The ArbCom will develop it's own policies and procedures as we move along. I feel somewhat slandered, actually, that you should presume that Wikinews arbitrators would be anything less than fair. I would hope that all arbitrators would make the same promise. The moment I feel that I cannot fairly arbitrate this (or any) matter, please, rest assured that I will recuse myself. Please assume good faith until proven otherwise. --Chiacomo (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you,Chiacomo, as you may have noticed the wikipedia policy allows for anyone to post a concern;"Users who believe Arbitrators have a conflict of interest should post an appropriate statement during the Arbitration process." and also leaves open the door to "required" recusement; so the assumption here by yourself and CSpurrier that it is a "personal" decision is incorrect,it seems obvious to me. It is quite difficult when one is trying to act in accordance with well established decorum and we are met with such an immediate and determined push to just be quiet and we are fed false assumptions as if they are policy such as "its up to the participants" and its a "personal decision". In your particular case, the question remains, why was it reasonable for you to make a disclosure of your relationship with Amgine for consideration at the mediation between Amgine and Cartman02au and not here? Why would exactly the same disclosure here be interpreted as "slander"? It makes no sense to me at all, I'm sorry, it just doesn't. The most distrubing thing is that the 2 people I mentioned as having a possible conflict are the two people who removed my very polite and "appropriate statement" from evidence and are now becoming combative by using words like "slander"....this is simply deflective of a possibly valid recuse issue, I fear. Neutralizer 00:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * To comment as a Wikipedia arbitrator (and occasional WN typo-fixer), and apologies if I'm bringing in anything inapplicable here, the evidence page isn't really the place for a request for a recusal; it's not evidence. It'd be better placed on the main request page as an outside party statement or the talk page of the request page, and so it's perfectly appropriate to remove it from the evidence page. That said, on WP, simply being friendly with a party is not enough to necessitate recusal, particularly if neither side requests it. If the arbitrator, the rest of the committee, and the parties all believe that he can remain fair and impartial, I don't see a problem with him hearing the case (though any reasonable request should at least be considered, and it appears this has been). In a community this size I'd be shocked if most of the more active participants—those most likely to get into disputes requiring arbitration—were not generally friends to some extent. I'd hope the arbitrators here were chosen because they could be expected to make judgment calls (such as to their own impartiality) fairly. Blathering on uninvited, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 01:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the "Blathering"; it is extremely helpful. It is good that; "If the arbitrator, the rest of the committee, and the parties all believe that he can remain fair and impartial, I don't see a problem with him hearing the case" is the correct procedure as opposed to the other procedure put forth on this talk page; "An arbitrators decision to recuse themselves is a personal decision and is no concern of other arbitrators". Hopefully our format designers will also create a way to put an "outside party statement" on the main request page for this or future Arbcoms at Wikinews. Neutralizer 02:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Glad to have helped some. To clarify further, it's not written in policy anywhere that another arbitrator can demand you recuse, but if one suggests it, it's probably for a pretty good reason and it would be unwise not to consider it. It hasn't been a problem for en.wp yet; at least, not that I've seen on my term. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Participant
As a participant in this case, and as far as I’m concerned, I believe that the Arbcom members can be impartial, and will not be asking for any members of the Arbcom to recluse him/her self Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 23:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

As a party to this case, I have trust in the ability of the ArbCom to manage itself as to impartiality, and will not ask members to recuse. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Efrat/New Hamas website targets children

Hamas targeting kids, recruiting youngsters for suicide missions March 5, 2006 A new, attractive website for children was recently launched on the net. The site features animated figures and stories that young children could easily relate to.

However, unlike ordinary sites catering for children, this particular one is operated by Hamas and its main objective is to advocate suicide and self sacrifice on behalf of Allah.

According to Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the site, whose name means "The Victor," glorifies death and suicide for God.

In one instance, a caption that appears next to a picture of an animated girl throwing stones at IDF soldiers, reads: "Death for Allah is victory, the victory of the glorified heroes whose names will forever remain in the hearts of millions of Muslims across the world." The animated figure calls on children surfing the web to enter the site and learn about the lives of "shahids" (martyrs) who "died a hero's death," after massacring Jews. WHERE IS THIS WEBSITE, [CITE]

Police release photographs of those of interest in connection with Cronulla riots

March 8, 2006

In Australia, New South Wales police have released photographs of up to 20 men who are of interest in connection with the race riots in the Sydney suburb of in December, 2005.

Strike Force Enoggera detectives have been vigourously investigating the riots over the past few months. Police have reportedly shown photographs at schools, pubs and clubs in an attempt to identify those who they are looking for.

Detective Superintendent Ken McKay told the media on February 23, 2006 that they wanted "people who were involved in assaults, throwing missiles and damaging vehicles at Cronulla on December 11 to come forward and hand themselves into police". He warned them that they would have around 10 days before the photos would be released publicly.

According to a statement on NSW Police's website, police have exhausted all other investigative angles and have released the photos "of excellent quality and predominantly from news organisations" in an attempt to gain information from the general public.

In addition to the photographs, police will release a video showing "a large number of Middle Eastern males and vehicles that police wish to identify in relation to their behaviour on the night of December 12." according to NSW Police. The videos have been supplied to police by witnesses. One was filmed at a service station in Cronulla and the other was filmed on the corner of The Kingsway in Cronulla. The vehicle was a hatchback with a rear P-plate.

Of late, two further arrests have been made in relation to the Cronulla riots. A 27-year-old man handed himself into police at Penrith, yesterday and was subsequently charged with two counts of riot and affray.

On February 27, 2006, police arrested a 23-year-old man at his home in Cronulla. He was charged with hinder police and police allege that he tried to prevent police from arresting another man during the Cronulla riots.

So far, 66 people have been arrested in connection with the riots. Police say "anyone who can assist the strikeforce in identifying these people or if they have any other information in regards to riots and revenge attacks at Cronulla, Maroubra and Brighton is urged to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000..."

Eighteen found dead in a bus in Iraq

March 8, 2006

Eighteen men, ranging in ages from young to elderly, whose bodies were found bound and blindfolded in a minibus in Baghdad, were hanged. "The medical report shows that all of them were hanged," a source at Baghdad's Yarmuk hospital said. "We found a rope round the neck of one of the victims."

A security patrol discovered the minibus just before midnight on the road between the and Khadra districts. The victims, all men, had been handcuffed, blindfolded and either hanged or shot to death, police Lt. Maitham Abdul-Razzaq said.

Police say they have no clues to the victims' identities. The bodies were found near the Amriya district of western Baghdad — one of the city's most dangerous sections, Abdul-Razzaq said.

Official figures suggest an increase in such killings since the destruction of a major shrine in  two weeks ago sparked reprisal attacks. Local people have accused the Shiite-led, US-backed government's police and other security forces of abducting and killing Sunni civilians.

The dumping of bodies bearing signs of torture and killed execution-style has become a feature of Iraq's violence between armed factions.

Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq warned that the country is  vulnerable to rebels’ attempts to exploit the political situation caused by the shrine attack. "There is a concerted effort to provoke civil war," he said.

Iraq's parliament is expected to sit on Sunday for the first time since the December elections.

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 Anushaanand. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Anushaanand~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.

Bonobo chimp threatened in Congo

March 8, 2006

The Congo's population of Bonobo, or Pygmy, Chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) is dwindling, according to researchers.

Dr. Ino Guabini, a primatologist with the World Wildlife Fund reports that only about 5,000 remain in Congo. In 1984, their numbers were estimated at 100,000.

It is illegal to hunt Bonobos, but their meat is considered tasty; and is a traditional food in the Congo. The meat is often sent to expensive & secretive restaurants in Congolese cities.

The Bonobo is best-known for resolving squabbles through sex rather than violence. Rivals are greeted with genital handshakes and sensual body rubs. Fights are often settled with a "French kiss" and sex, either heterosexual or homosexual. Bonobo's communication is primarily vocal.

DNA evidence suggests that the Bonobo and Common Chimpanzee separated just 500,000 years after they diverged from the last common ancestor with humans, between four to seven million years ago. Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans, and are an important research model in both biology and psychology.

North Korea fires missiles during training exercise

March 8, 2006

On Wednesday March 8, North Korea launched two, during military training exercises near the border with China, according to  which cited two military sources.

The sources, however, dispute where those missiles were launched. An "Asian security source" stated that the missiles may have been launched in the direction of China by mistake, and landed just inside the North Korean border. A "Western military source", however, claimed that they were launched to the east, in the direction of the, but still says they landed in North Korean territory.

North Korea surprised the world when it launched a over northern Japan in 1998. Since then, it has conducted many missile tests, including a dense battery of land-to-ship missile tests in 2003 when tensions rose over its possible possession of. It is believed to be developing a ballistic missile that could reach Alaska, Hawaii, or even the continental United States.

Toronto to have socialized city-wide wi-fi access

March 9, 2006

Toronto's public utility, Toronto Hydro Telecom, will make Canada's largest city into a huge.

"This is both an exciting and very important initiative for the city of Toronto", said Toronto's mayor,. "It puts us on the leading edge of the telecommunications industry nationwide and globally."

Toronto Hydro Telecom will offer customers free access for the first six months. After that, it will begin to charge for services.

"Wi-Fi technology is the new benchmark for urban living", stated Toronto Hydro president David Dobbin. "It's standard equipment in many electronic devices, from laptops to portable entertainment units."

Private telephone companies are questioning why a public utility needs to compete with the private sector.

Mike Lee of questioned why the city of Toronto wanted to enter the internet access business.

"It will not be an easy business", Lee told the . "In this day and age, the focus should be on core operations more than anything. I was surprised to see they are looking to get into this business."

Brian Sharwood, a telecom analyst in Toronto, said the municipality will likely install the wireless transmitters and receivers on its lamp posts as a way to blanket the city, a process known as "".

Wikinews interviews Gary Fung from isoHunt

March 9, 2006

As reported on Wikinews,, a and  search site frequented by a massive number of Internet users everyday, has recently been one of the targets of the 's anti-piracy campaign. Originally starting out as an IRC indexing site in January of 2003, isoHunt added torrent search later that year in July and has been steadily growing since. By December, isoHunt had 16,248 torrents available. Today that amount is around 250,000.

isoHunt has survived while many similar sites around it crumbled, yet was operating long before the others had even been thought of. In April of 2005, isoHunt also gained Torrentbox after its administrator gave it to Gary Fung of isoHunt.

Wikinews interviewed Mr. Fung, the 22 year-old Canadian administrator of the sites.

Why did you start your site? For fun, and to learn web programming (PHP and Mysql). Also a web search engine for P2P networks has not been done, and would be useful.

''I read on your site at the time, news of the MPAA's actions hit the news, that you had not been notified, how did you find out? How did you react?'' I found out first from Mike at Slyck.com, who have received letters of the press release, along with other news outlets like CNET. Within a few hours, all the news sites posted about it.

Do you feel it is appropriate for the MPAA to publicly announce that they have commenced action against your sites and others before you even receive notification? Yes, although not surprising. Factually speaking, industry associations like the MPAA often use the threat of pending lawsuits to intimidate to-be defendants, and it serves their purpose of spreading FUD to the public at large.

Have you ever received a takedown notice from any company in accordance with the DMCA? At least once a day, often many times a day. I've lost count of how many takedown requests we've received now, it would be at least in the hundreds, if not a thousand. We have a thorough copyright policy outlining our stance, compliance and procedures: http://isohunt.com/dmca-copyright.php. Some of them come back and actually thank us with satisfaction for our prompt processing. For others, such as indie content producers for TV shows and movies, we actually talk to them about using BitTorrent to aid their distribution. And such partnerships are in the works.

How do you go about dealing with them? We verify their authenticity, whether identified works are within their copyright, and disable them if found to be aiding in possible copyright infringement.

Do you think the service you provide is any different to that of major search engines such as Google and Yahoo? No. We are all search engines, only designed for different markets. "Torrents" for example are metadata pointers that describe and link to resources on BitTorrent swarms. Google and isoHunt for example are different only in forms of links and types of data they index. Both serve the purpose of organizing information on open networks on the internet (WWW and P2P), making them useful and searchable.

According to the isoHunt website, Gary received official notification of the MPAA's lawsuit on February 28, 2006. Gary admits that he was impressed by the amount of research which was put into the suit. He said: "I have to say I am impressed by the depth of their legal research, evidently their lawyers have been watching us for at least a year, since we exchanged letters last year. However, their core accusation is false. We do NOT operate this search engine and other P2P services for the express object of infringing MPAA's copyrights, there are many other torrents of content we index that are not owned by the MPAA, copyrighted or non-copyrighted. We would comply with DMCA takedown requests, given sufficient identification. Which they did not."

Agriculture's impact on human evolution clarified

March 9, 2006

University of Chicago, Illinois biologists Dr. Benjamin Voight, Dr. Sridhar Kudaravalli, Dr. Xiaoquan Wen and Dr. Jonathan Pritchard have identified regions of human DNA showing the strongest marks of natural selection within the last 5,000 to 15,000 years.

They found that many recent genetic changes are related to the development of agriculture. In particular, the genes for digestion of milk into adulthood occurred only after some level of domestication of animals. Most mammals drink milk only in infancy.

The work may shed light on the genetic factors involved in various human medical conditions, including high blood pressure and alcoholism.

The Chicago finding also contradicts the tacit assumption of much social science that human evolution "ground to a halt" in the distant past. Even evolutionary psychologists have tempered their claims based upon this assumption.

The study is based upon DNA changes found in three populations examined by the HapMap project: Africans, East Asians and Europeans.

The study has been published in PLOS-Biology.

UK vending machines begin selling sex toys

March 9, 2006

Bars and nightclubs in London, Manchester, and Newcastle, UK, now carry vending machines selling sex toys for about £5. These fuchsia-pink Tabooboo machines are usually located near toilets to render deliberating customers a modicum of privacy. However, some hairdressing salons are giving the machines "center stage". Products available from these unconventional vending machines include mini vibrators, "silicone ticklers", "lust fingers", and bottles of "love liquid" (an edible lubricant).

The Alphabet Bar in London's West End, host to the first sex toy vending machine in the U.K., claims many people visit especially for the machine, and describes it as a "great success". Alan Lucas, the managing director of the company behind this enterprise, Tabooboo, suggests that the success of the machines is due to younger people having a more liberal view of sex toys. He stated, "The most popular product is a vibrating rod ring which is something [the man] wears [on his penis]".

The machines are expected to begin appearing in the U.S. and Italy.

 * Ed, just for your info; it now seems that hydro does have a hidden agenda so to speak (good catch by you). These transmitters will also be reading "smart meters" they plan to install in every home to track and maybe even control(in the future) home owners hydro usage..as well as providing customer online access to their hydro usage data.

Buffalo, NY magazine to publish Prophet Muhammad cartoons

March 8, 2006

The magazine Free Inquiry, issued in Buffalo, New York and published by the Center for Inquiry, is to publish some of the Islam's Prophet Muhammad cartoons. These cartoons were originally published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, causing waves of violence and protests among Muslims worldwide.

Tom Flynn, editor of the secular magazine, said that he was only acting alongside several European papers that reprinted the cartoons "demonstrating a commitment to free expression and a free press." He commented further that "no religious teaching, community, or institution should be held immune from criticism simply because of its religious nature."

Three articles will be published alongside the cartoons. In the first, Flynn will trace the controversy and explain the magazine's decision to publish them. A second, by R. Joseph Hoffmann, director of the Council for Secular Humanism's Committee for the Scientific Examination of Religion, will present further commentary; the last will be on the history of the Prophet Muhammad.

Four of the original twelve cartoons are to be published: the image of Muhammad wearing a bomb with its fuse lit as a turban, another claimed to show horns coming out of the Prophet's turban, Muhammad [or an Imam] greeting suicide bombers in heaven, and one showing a male face on a Muslim with Islam's star and crescent. Flynn said this last cartoon "is included as an example of how the collection's less sharply focused entries fell flat."

Arif Desai, Imam of the Islamic Society of Niagara Frontier in Amherst, New York, said that the Muslim community felt sorrow over the magazine's decision to publish the cartoons.

"We feel sorrow, we feel hurt and insulted as these are very disturbing, insulting cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Obviously, we know and believe in freedom of speech, but along with freedom of speech comes responsibility," said Desai.

The cartoons will be published next week on March 15, 2006.

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 Hank el-Bashir. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hank el-Bashir~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.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wikkinikki.

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 Pvoce. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pvoce~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 23:20, 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) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
