Ed to wed: UK Labour leader Miliband announces engagement to Justine Thornton

March 31, 2011

The couple, who have been in a relationship for five years, currently have two children — Daniel, aged twenty-one months, and Samuel, who was born in November 2010. Until now, they had been "too busy" to perform the act of marriage, due to various occurrences; according to, this includes Ed's work in the , the birth of their son Daniel, and Ed's appearance at the.

41-year-old Miliband proposed to 40-year-old Thornton at, a short distance from their residence in the northern area of London, in 2010. Marion Miliband, the mother of Ed, was the first individual to be notified of this news. , his brother and a fellow UK politician, was "the person I told after my mother", Ed stated; he "is delighted for me and he will obviously be there".

According to Miliband, of all the guests at the wedding, "family and close friends" will be amongst the approximately fifty individuals receiving invitations to "something that has been on our minds for some time", describing the upcoming day as "fun". He has stated there will be no present at the ceremony, contrary to speculation that the role would be given to David. After the wedding, Ed and Justine are intending to have a in a secret location.

"This is going to be a fantastic day for us both and I feel incredibly privileged to be marrying someone so beautiful and who is such a special person," Ed commented, speaking to English newspaper the. Miliband continued by explaining that "[i]t's the right time for us to do this and I'm really looking forward to a lovely day. We're going to have a party in Doncaster when we get back from honeymoon — which will be in an undisclosed location" and that "[a]t the end of the day we're in our 40s and we've got two kids — so it wasn't a case of me suddenly popping the question. This is just something we think is right for us."

Justine Thornton, Ed's fianceé noted: "Ed wasn't even an MP when I met him and at the end of the day I am marrying him because of who he is and not because of what he's doing now. We're planning on a small ceremony, all at the hotel with everything at the same place and we're looking forward to it very much."

Miliband was asked if he thought it was important to be married in case he becomes the next. He replied: "I think people are pretty relaxed about this. I don't think people care one way or the other about what other people do in their lives as long as they show responsibility to each other."

User talk:Tempodivalse/User interaction policy

Do you think that mentioning possible cultural, generational, or experiential differences in an attempt to understand differing opinions between editors can be considered a personal attack? Mattisse (talk) 14:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Not if it is directly relevant to the issue at hand and is phrased in a respectful manner. I was trying to work this facet into the policy some way so we don't have people (incorrectly) warning people like you. Tempodivalse [talk]  15:24, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

 * All editors are strongly encouraged to comply with the above guidelines. Nobody, from newbies to established editors, should be exempted from respecting others. I certainly agree, but it takes some sophistication and experience to understand what a "personal attack" is; even with Wikipedia's policy, there is intense disagreement and debate over what constitutes a personal attack, and the issue is often brought to ANI.  To be informed on your talk page by a terse post that you have make a "personal attack" is pretty much meaningless to a newbie, IMO. "Personal attack" as used on wiki is  wiki jargon.  I suggest that the message to the newbie (and sometimes to other editors) should include the wording of the personal attack made by the editor and an explanation of why it is considered an attack. Educate rather than intimidate or punish should be the first few steps, with the obvious exceptions listed in the Wikipedia policy. These are my views.  Mattisse (talk) 15:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, after rereading my draft, I don't think the comments you aimed at Pi zero (I assume that's what you're talking about?) would necessarily fall into the category of "personal attacks" under this definition. The text specifically states "negative/derogatory" remarks "irrelevant" to the issue. You were by no means off-topic or disrespectful. The problem is that the policy needs to be broad enough to encompass clear violations, yet specific enough so that people don't accuse others personal attacks falsely. If you have any suggestions for better phrasing, I'm open to them. Tempodivalse [talk]  15:52, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think a helpful way to explain what is a personal attack is to give many, short examples, along the lines of "a picture is worth a thousand words". I acknowledge this is hard to do. Wikipedia gives a general list.  Also, I think there should be frequent links to the NPA and civility policies. These issues don't seem to be mentioned at all in the information given to newbies. I had to look and look to find Etiquette. As far as I can tell, a link for it is found in only one place: at the bottom of the . Mattisse (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Whilst I like the 'irrelevant' idea, I fear we may then get into arguments about whether it was relevant or not :/. Can we have a nutshell at the top incorporating BarkingFish's comment on the Water Cooler - 'This policy in a nutshell: Criticise content, not contributors.'?

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 Solidpilot. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Solidpilot~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 23:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

All change for Nottingham, England trams as new operator announced

March 31, 2011

In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, it emerged on Monday that Arrow Light Rail — the existing operators of, England's (NET) system — were to have their contract ripped up, after the preferred bidder for the construction of Phase 2 was announced. The change means that the entire network will be able to be integrated throughout, rather than having two operators effectively running two separate systems.

have selected Tramlink Nottingham as their preferred bidder to construct and operate the NET Phase Two lines to and, and will now enter talks with the consortium, made up of , , , , OFI Infravia and Meridiam Infrastructure, to finalise the exact details of the contract. It is expected that the concessionary contract will be awarded during the coming summer, with construction starting before the end of the year. The contract will run for 23 years.

Tramlink Nottingham chairman Roger Harrison said: "Building on Arrow's successful legacy, we are excited to be taking forward the next chapter in Nottingham's tram story.

"Our focus now will be on working with Nottingham City Council to ensure NET Phase Two can be introduced at the earliest opportunity."

The reshuffle of operating consortium means that (NCT) — the main provider of bus services within Nottingham — will have no part to play in the extended network, despite the numerous awards and high satisfaction levels NET has had since its opening; it is the only one of Britain's five light rail networks to be an instant success.

"We're obviously very disappointed not to be part of the selected preferred consortium. Nottingham's tram has won numerous awards and after seven years passengers continue to praise its operation. We would have relished the opportunity to have been part of this continuing success," said NCT's Managing Director Mark Fowles.

But the council stresses that they are still committed to the future of the company.

"This decision in no way reflects the excellent job Arrow Light Rail Limited has done operating the tram since its launch. Annual customer satisfaction figures remain very high and this is testament to this operation," added Jane Todd. "The decision to appoint a new consortium to build and operate the extended tram network was made on the basis of selecting the best proposal to meet the council's objectives for the future of the tram system. The overall offer from the Tramlink Nottingham consortium was stronger. Although disappointing for NCT it is nonetheless good news for the integration of public transport services that the city's other major bus operator, Trent Barton, is part of the preferred bidder. I am certain NCT will continue to provide award winning bus services for the people of Nottingham."

Staff currently employed by Arrow Light Rail are expected to be transferred over to Tramlink Nottingham around August, when further details of the contract will become clear. Other changes that are proposed for the network include 'smart card' ticketing — similar to the highly successful scheme that is in use across 's service — and the phasing out of tram conductors in favour of on-platform ticketing machines. Current conductors will be offered new roles within the company, though talks are still on-going about how to combat any potential fare-dodgers.

Furthermore, an additional 22 tram vehicles will be built by consortium member Alstom for the extended network, though these will be of a different design to the 15 existing vehicles, which were built by to their  design for the system's opening. The new trams will be part of Alstom's family, and will bring the total tram fleet to 37. This will also allow for service frequencies to be increased and for overcrowding to be eased at peak times.

Ticketing arrangements for the network will also change when the new consortium takes over. Currently, combined tickets, cards and passes can be used for the tram and NCT buses, but these are due to be phased out and replaced with the new smart cards in time for the opening of the extensions. Prior to that, passengers will be able to use combined tickets, cards and passes for the tram and Trent Barton buses, in a similar arrangement to that which is already offered for NCT.

Pat Armstrong, director for NET, said: "The move is very much towards more sophisticated smart ticketing, like the Oyster card in London. You use the same card but the money goes back to the company you are travelling with."

The extended network, new trams and numerous other changes should be fully operational by the end of 2014, but NET users and tramway enthusiasts had mixed views on the matter:

"I think it's a bad idea to phase out the conductors," said Andrew Blood, assistant editor of the Tramways Monthly e-magazine, "Not only do they help with revenue protection, but they are also responsible for the high passenger satisfaction levels on the system. In short, they keep tram users feeling safe."

Greg Smith, from Hucknall, was pleased that service levels were going to increase: "The fact that the trams will be running more frequently is a massive bonus in my eyes. The service we get at [the Hucknall] end of the line is great already, but if [the trams] are running more frequently it's just another advantage of the system over the bus." But he was also wary of on-platform ticketing being brought into place: "I'm not sure that losing the conductors in favour of ticket machines is the way to go, though."

Japanese nuclear officials race to avoid disaster as radiation levels in sea rocket

March 31, 2011 Radiation levels have rocketed in the sea near the in, Japan, as government officials  admitted on Wednesday they are fighting a constant battle to halt the growing  which began after the devastating earthquake and tsunami which struck the country earlier this month. The news comes after the chief executive of plant operator, , was hospitalized with on Tuesday.

Levels of off the coast of the plant were recorded to be almost 3,400 times the legal limit, the Japanese nuclear safety authority,  (Nisa), said. The levels of radiation are the highest recorded since the crisis began. Officials are now struggling to find how radiation is leaking from the plant, and have prohibited fishing in the area. A spokesperson for Nisa insisted there was no immediate threat to humans from the leakage into the sea. "We will find out how it happened and do our utmost to prevent [the levels of radiation] from rising," he said.

The situation at the nuclear plant is considered dire after the Japanese government accepted an offer of assistance from the United States and France. An experienced nuclear engineer has warned the at No. 2 reactor at the plant may have melted. Workers at the plant are battling to cool the reactors and stop further radiation leakage.

If the crisis continues to escalate, the could sustain serious damage as fisherman are banned from working in the area of contaminated water. "The worst-case scenario is that this drags on not one month or two months or six months, but for two years, or indefinitely," an analyst, based in Tokyo, said. "Japan will be bypassed. That is the real nightmare scenario." A spokesperson for the Japanese government warned officials "are not yet in a situation" to say when the race to avert the crisis from escalating will end.

Masataka Shimizu, the chief executive of Tepco, was transported to hospital with and  as criticism of the company continues to build. Last week, three workers stepped into contaminated cooling water as they tried to replace cables at one of the reactors of the plant and two were hospitalized. The workers have now been released from the hospital.

Tepco has apologized to those affected by the nuclear emergency in a statement released March 18. "We sincerely apologize to all the people living in the surrounding area of the power station and people in Fukushima Prefecture, as well as to the people of society for causing such great concern and nuisance," the company said in the statement. The sale of numerous vegetables grown near the plant has been banned by authorities after they tested positive for radiation. Officials have also warned parents not to give to infants after it emerged that it may have become contaminated. A large area around the plant has been evacuated.

 * Two workers were hospitalized according the The Los Angeles Times source for Situation at damaged nuclear power plant remains 'very grave', says Japanese Prime Minister. The statement of apology quoted in this article was given March 18 and was reported in The Los Angeles Times source to Situation at damaged nuclear power plant remains 'very grave', says Japanese Prime Minister. I added  the the TNT magazine source dated March 30 to this article because it  gives the actual quote used in the article, which the LA Times article only summarizes.

First images received from orbit around Mercury

March 30, 2011

The first images of Mercury taken from orbit around the planet have been received from NASA's. The images come after the spacecraft entered an orbit around the closest planet to the sun on March 17.

After various system examinations, the first images from the spacecraft were sent at 0520 (0920 ).

Before arriving in orbit around Mercury, the MESSENGER spacecraft was launched in 2004, passed by Mercury twice in 2008 and once more in 2009. MESSENGER is the first artificial satellite to be placed in orbit around Mercury. Because Mercury is the innermost planet in the, the sun's gravitational attraction altered the spacecraft's approach to the planet. Because of this, a series of several maneuvers over three years was required to put the probe in orbit.

Although MESSENGER is the first probe to enter orbit around Mercury, it is not the first to fly by. was the first to do this when it made three passes during the 1970s.

NASA is continuing to release images taken by the spacecraft as they arrive at Earth. MESSENGER is scheduled to begin it's primary mission on April 4, consisting of various scientific and visual observations of the planet. Some of the scientific goals the probe is to accomplish are: determination of the geologic composition of Mercury, study of the planet's magnetic field and internal composition, and transmission of more than 75,000 images back to Earth.

Libyan foreign minister defects to the UK

March 31, 2011 Libyan foreign minister has fled to the United Kingdom and has announced that he is no longer willing to work for Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

A spokesman for the UK government said Kussa "arrived at on 30 March from Tunisia. He travelled here under his own free will." He added: "Moussa Kussa is one of the most senior figures in Gaddafi's government and his role was to represent the regime internationally—something that he is no longer willing to do. We encourage those around Gaddafi to abandon him and embrace a better future for Libya that allows political transition and real reform that meets the aspirations of the Libyan people."

Kussa is the highest ranking government official of Libya to defect as of late, and is a blow to Gaddaffi, as his government in recent weeks has been trying to crush rebellions that have sprung-up after a series of protests and revolutions occurred throughout the Middle East, demanding their leaders step down from power.

Before the defection, it was reported government forces have recently taken back the port-town of and the nearby town of.

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 Niros. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Niros~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 23:19, 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)

local links
Hi. I notice you've been writing articles with all of the links in the text going to Wikipedia. That actually violates the Wikinews style guide. If there's a local mainspace redirect, use a local link. For example, there are local links for every country in the world.

The simple way to do this is to use template w, which automatically checks for a local link, and uses that if it exists, otherwise links to Wikipedia. --Pi zero (talk) 14:39, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

ok
you might want to update the article layout in a nutshell page then and make it a bit clearer.

Your article Australia article
Hi Ls735 (that's hard to type, btw;)). Unfortunately your article about Australian smoking laws was deleted, due to the fact that we already had an article about that exact subject. Australian opposition may oppose plain packaging on cigarettes. Please don't let this discourage you from writing more articles, as this is a very rare reason for article deletion. We hardly ever get duplicate articles. Gopher65talk 00:10, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

UoW
Hi,

If your article (Lower house passes Australia's carbon tax legislation) is part of the UoW classwork, can you let me know. Based on its age, it now qualifies as stale. Apologies for it not having been reviewed; the only feedback I can offer is to keep sources to a minimum - the reviewer has to read all you cite. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:23, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi,

Yes it's part of UoW classwork. I've had similar problems with the last 3 articles I've submitted. Thanks for the feedback- I've been listing reports and government documents and websites because I've been getting significant information from them, but should I be leaving these out of my sources for the purpose of getting my articles reviewed? Mag883 (talk) 01:24, 17 October 2011 (UTC)Mag883

 * List all that you use; that's what the Sources section is for: to record what was actually used. --Pi zero (talk) 01:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes I understand that, that's why I'm confused about being advised to limit my sources so I can actually get my articles reviewed. I'm accessing a number of sources to try to make my articles balanced and informed, but if apparently this is deterring reviewers and causing my articles to sit untouched until they go stale I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Wikimedians to the Games
Hi. :) As you're an Australian contributor, I thought you might be interested in Wikimedians to the Games, which is an opportunity to cover the Paralympic Games as a member of the press. As you've experience writing Wikinews articles, this should give you a leg up. :)  LauraHale (talk) 08:39, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
