Clinton meetings fuel speculation over presidential bid

December 5, 2006 United States Hillary Clinton has been holding discussions about and interviewing potential campaign staff for a White House bid in. Clinton met with Governor-elect Sunday about support if she chooses to run.

"She said before the election that after the election she would be considering a presidential run," said senior Clinton advisor Howard Wolfson. "Part of that process is seeking the advice and counsel of her colleagues in New York."

One New York Democrat, who asked to not be named, said he was recently called by a senior Clinton team member. While it was not said that Clinton had chosen to run for president, "it was pretty clear."

New York senior Senator, Clinton's Democratic colleague, told Associated Press (AP) he would be meeting with Clinton in the next week.

"She wants to sit down and talk next week, which we're going to do. It could be about legislation. I have no idea what it's about, and until we sit down and talk that's all I'm going to say about it. I think she'd make a very good president but let's wait and see. Everyone's sort of jumping the gun."

Last week, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack announced he would seek the Democratic nomination. Indiana Democrat Senator Evan Bayh announced Sunday he is considering running for the White House.

Clinton tops every national poll of likely Democratic candidates and had tried to keep private many of her overtures to supporters and new staff. The deliberations have started to become more public in the last week as the field of likely contenders has begun to expand.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama, has attracted tremendous publicity around a possible run without committing himself. He has jumped to second place behind Clinton in many polls.

Obama's emergence as a potential contender has led some observers to suspect Clinton has stepped up her timetable for making a decision about a run. Her aides dismiss that notion, saying she is observing the timetable she has long planned.

Other likely candidates include 2004 nominee Senator John Kerry; his vice presidential running mate, former North Carolina Senator John Edwards; New Mexico Gov. ; and Senators Joe Biden of Delaware and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut.

New Zealand runs low on 20 cent coins

December 5, 2006

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand wrote to retails banks warning them that there will be a shortage on 20 cent coins (NZ$0.20) leading up to Christmas. They have now announced that they have distributed 4.75 million new twenty cent coins in the past week alone "...close to the number issued in a typical year."

Ten million new coins are expected to arrive in the next few days.

The Reserve Bank is wondering where all the new coins went, just five weeks after the new design was first introduced. Brian Lang, currency manager for the Reserve Bank, said: "The pattern of demand for new coins has been markedly different to that for the old coins." He suggests that people are keeping them in jars, like the old design coins.

Some stores are already unable to give out twenty cent coins as they don't have any according to the Newmarket Business Association.

Mr Lang said: "To put this into perspective, by 30 November, the Bank had issued almost as many 20c coins (49.6m) as 10c coins (53.0m). In the past issue of 20 cent coins would normally have been about half the amount of 10 cent coins."

The head of Newmarket Business Association, Cameron Brewer, said: "...the Reserve Bank told us that they'd done a lot of work and that everything was going to be just fine. Well here we are just five weeks into the new coins and only days away from the Christmas rush, and the country's running out of its own currency."

Mr Lang said: "The Bank has sufficient supplies of 10c and 50c coins for several years' normal issues."

"...tens of millions of the old 20 cent pieces sit idle because they are no longer legal tender," Mr Brewer said referring to the old 'silver' coins that were used before the introduction of new coins.

The Reserve Bank still doesn't know why the pattern of demand of twenty cent coins has changed.

"... such a staggering miscalculation by the Reserve Bank should never have happened," Mr Brewer said.

Gallup poll: Islamophobia prevalent in United States

December 9, 2006

Islamophobia seems to be alive and well in America according to recent polls by Gallup. Surveys this summer of more than 1,007 Americans showed that 39 percent were in favour of requiring Muslims in the United States, including American citizens, to carry special identification and about a quarter of those surveyed said they would not want to live next door to a Muslim and a third thought that Muslims in the United States sympathized with al-Qaeda

Huh?

 * tens of millions of the old 20 cent pieces sit idle because they are no longer legal tender

So is this just a problem in switching to a new design or something? The article isn't too clear. Until that quote, the piece read as if the 20 cent coins were disappearing or something. --Imroy 03:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gallup poll: Islamophobia prevalent in United States

ripe??
What, tender and delicious? Are you sure you don't mean rife? 74.134.236.69 22:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've moved it to "Gallup poll: Islamaphobia advanced in United States". I changed "ripe" to "advanced". Hopfully this is a better title. — F e  llow  Wiki  News   (W)  22:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Is that necessary any better? "Advances" implies that anti-Muslim sentiment is on the rise, and this poll alone doesn't imply that: it simply tells us what people thought at the time it was conducted. Probably the best word to use would be something like "prevalent" or "rife", though the latter carries a negative connotation that might consistute a PoV issue. 75.177.11.240 23:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC) AC2012
 * I truly hope that what this poll tells us has negative connotations... Also, prevalent may be better than advanced in the title. Advanced tells us that the sentiment is going up, so the item would need a citation for that (shouldn't be hard to ind, but I just don't have time or desire to search for such citation). Towsonu2003 23:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I made a mistake by changing "ripe" to "advanced". I don't even have any interest in this story so please change the title as many times as you want.

wow..
identification? Isnt this what happened with the jews for centures? And not just in nazi germany, in itally before that too during the renessance (s/p), etc. Blatantly racist.

Problems with this article
Ok, anon making inappropriate comments inside the article aside, apart from Hooper's claim in the cited source, I can't find this gallup poll anywhere, and even the cited source just refers to Hooper. Can someoen else locate this poll? JoshuaZ 04:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Never mind, found it mentioned here which I'll add as a source. JoshuaZ 04:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Hmm, that source puts the poll way back in August. I'm not sure this is news as such. Thoughts? JoshuaZ 04:39, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Even ignoring that, Nothing mentions how the poll was conducted at all, or really very little about the poll. You can get any resualt for a poll if you try hard enough. 24.65.52.20 05:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC) user:Bawolff
 * it's from Dec 9th, so it's too late. sources are trustworthy enough. I perceive bias. let the item alone anyway... :) Towsonu2003 07:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * We can presume that Gallup and USAToday will conduct a fairly unbiased poll without evidence to the contrary. JoshuaZ 16:04, 22 December 2006 (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 Tomertomer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tomertomer~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.

Australia wins dramatic second Ashes Test

December 5, 2006

Australia has clinched a dramatic win in the second 2006-07 Ashes Test match in Adelaide. In a massive swing of dominance and control, England forfeited a huge advantage on the fifth and final day after controlling the Test for the first four. England won the toss and batted first on the Adelaide Oval wicket. After losing a couple of early wickets, they recovered to amass 6-551 dec. spanning the opening two days. Paul Collingwood scored a patient 206, whilst teammate Kevin Pietersen built an innings of 158 in a much more brief fashion.

In response, Australia began their first innings poorly, losing Matthew Hayden before the close of play on day 2. On the morning of day 3, Justin Langer and Damien Martyn also fell cheaply. However, a captain's effort by Ricky Ponting (142) and support by Michael Clarke (124), as well as cameos by Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne, helped the Aussies to just shy of England's massive total. Matthew Hoggard was the shining light for the visitors, taking 7-109.

England resumed the fifth day at 1-59, and the match looked headed for a draw. However, with some magic from Shane Warne, Australia managed to roll England for just 129 in the last over before tea, setting up a thrilling final session run chase. Warne took 4-49, and was backed up well by Glenn McGrath, who took 2-15.

Requiring 168 to win off 35 overs, Australia came out firing, scoring quickly before losing both Hayden and Justin Langer early. Ricky Ponting was joined by Michael Hussey, who was promoted to number four, and built a steady partnership before Ponting was dismissed for 49. Damien Martyn then fell cheaply, and Hussey was joined by Michael Clarke to complete the chase. The pair batted through to the total was reached, with Hussey scoring 61 not out. Australia reached the target with 19 balls to spare, at 6:45pm local time.

No team had lost after declaring on as high a total batting first as England did in more than 125 years of Tests. As a Nine Network commentator described it, "Australia has just won the most extraordinary Test match; however, it was [a Test] that England should never have lost". Prior to the start of play, bookmakers had a draw paying $1.02.

Australia now go into the third test at the WACA ground in Perth, Western Australia knowing one more win will reclaim the Ashes urn which they lost for the first time in over a decade in England during 2005.

Because you all are very stupid, the new article: Helicopter in Afghanistan shot down --Wikiaccount1 15:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * do not insult people, i blocked you 15 minutes. Jacques Divol 15:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The claim that this was "the largest helicopter in the world" was made in the Aljezeera TV programme referred to in the first edition of this report - the reference was excised. It is not my job as a news gatherer to change what people say - only to report it as accurately as possible. So I don't know what this fuss is all about. "Much sound and fury...." Fentonrobb 22:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I corrected the article. But the fuss was created by: Doldrums, Daniel.Bryant Brian McNeil and Divol. By saying the wrong information should be written in the article not the right ones. User:Brianmc wrote above: "start a new article, you can keep that developing until you have more facts." To admins: Don´t be dumb and abuse your admin options. --Wikiaccount1 02:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

My report of what AJE said on TV was entirely accurate. I took notes at the time of the broadcast 12.23 GMT December 3, 2006. You cannot say that you 'corrected' my report by deleting it. What interests me now is not what size of craft this was, but who was on board, what cargo was affected, what the air accident investigators have to say about the cause of the crash and the real news. Even the fact that all seems now silent about it, so far as I can see, is itself interesting in itself - don't you think? Fentonrobb 09:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

No it was not. You were wrong. AJE said it was Russia´s largest helicopter not of the world. And you wrote the note about MI-26. I corrected it. --Wikiaccount1 11:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This and other sources show the 26 to be the largest - do you not agree?

AJE reported that the Taliban had claimed to have shot down the largest in the world. That is what I heard and that is what I reported. But AJE also reported that it was a 25 that had been shot down. I put all that down as reported and I added the note about the 26 to point out that the Taliban just might have been wrong. So what's wrong?

User talk:124.168.12.188

Welcome!

124.168.12.188, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions 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:
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Here are some other hints and tips:

 * I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the 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! — Doldrums(talk) 11:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

name change in Upham article
I noticed you added new content to the article, Charles Upham's medals to stay in New Zealand, which is more than 24 hours old. Thanks for taking an active role in improving the content on this site. People like you who take an active role make Wikinews better for all of us — readers and writers alike.

One thing to note, though, is that Wikinews articles are not works in progress. Articles are considered historical documents reflecting the knowledge and understanding of the event at the time of publishing. Once published for more than a day or so, they should not be continually updated or modified, except to fix minor style issues (eg. spelling mistakes).

To report on new developments in ongoing story, you can create a new article instead of just adding content to an already published, out of date article. That way your work will be seen by more people since readers tend not to revisit old news articles looking for updates.

If a published article contains a factual error, please bring it to our attention at WN:ALERT, so that a Correction notice can be added to the article, which is otherwise left unchanged.

Again, thanks for helping improve this site. — Doldrums(talk) 11:41, 5 December 2006 (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 DaveR. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DaveR~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nintendough. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nintendough~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.

Prime Minister Blair flies to Washington

December 5, 2006

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair flies tomorrow to meet President Bush. High on the agenda will be the situation in Iraq. The No. 10 press office said yesterday that it was a happy coincidence that the report of the Iraq Study Group would be published during his visit, but that he was not likely to meetJames Baker or Lee Hamilton, the joint authors of the report.

Among the issues to be discussed will be relations with Iran and Syria. Blair had set out his position in a speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council August 1, 2006, saying "we need to make clear to Syria and Iran that there is a choice: come in to the international community and play by the same rules as the rest of us; or be confronted"

However a speech by Blair on World Affairs at the London Lord Mayor's Banquet, on November 13, 2006, gave rise to such conflicting reports about his position on Iran, that the White House felt it necessary to issue a “Setting the record straight” press release the next day. It said that whereas the London-based New York Times and Washington Post reported that Blair had "Offered No Dramatic New Policy Proposals"; the Washington-based reporting by the same papers had claimed that “…Blair shifted his position”. The White House press office concluded that Blair’s position was not new and that it was similar to the President’s policy. Both leaders had expressed willingness to open talks with Iran provided it complied with UN resolutions and verifiably suspended uranium enrichment.

NASA unveils plans for moon base

December 5, 2006

NASA has unveiled plans to set up a self-sustaining settlement at the South Pole of the Moon by 2020.

The plan calls for four-person crews to begin the construction on a rotating basis with week-long stays, advancing toward a permanent presence by 2024. Initial infrastructure would be brought to the Moon from Earth; as work progressed, the settlement would provide hydrogen and oxygen mined from the lunar surface to make water and rocket fuel.

While NASA plans to use American astronauts in the construction and maintenance of the base, plans are underway for a multinational effort. Canada has been asked to provide astronauts for assistance, and NASA has since entered talks with the European Space Agency, Australia, China, France, Germany, England, India, Italy, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine to see how those nations and space agencies may be able to contribute to costs, logistics and other efforts. NASA did not release figures on how much the settlement will cost to build and maintain, but have been searching for both public and private funding from around the globe.

NASA says that the base will serve as part of a mission to learn about the Moon and places beyond. It is also seen as part of a long-range plan to send astronauts to Mars.

This will be the first manned mission to the moon since 1972.

Too late for me to do it, but someone should read the guy's wiki page and expand this. His position as world champion isn't 100% clear, he's avoided some tournaments due to arthiritis, and the match results include draws - which isn't clear in our article. All in all, this is an interesting little piece that encourages people to read wikipedia, a would allow us to draw on some of that information to expand this article. --Brian McNeil / talk 23:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Former Senator John Edwards takes major step towards running for U.S. president

December 5, 2006 Former North Carolina Senator and Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate John Edwards took a major step in declaring candidacy for the 2008 U.S. Presidential election by naming former congressman David Bonior his campaign manager. David Bonior has close ties with labor organizations, something Edwards can relate to because he represented many labor unions during his career as a lawyer.

Bonior represented Detroit's northern suburbs for 26 years in the House, rising to be the No. 2 Democrat before stepping down in 2002 for an unsuccessful campaign for Michigan governor.

Since leaving Congress, Bonior has been a professor of labor studies at Detroit's Wayne State University and chairman of American Rights at Work, which promotes employees' rights to unionize.

Bonior is currently the chair of American Rights at Work.

Texas Tech coach may move to University of Miami

December 6, 2006

Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is reportedly interested in taking the vacant head football coaching job at the University of Miami, numerous sources have reported.

As early as Dec. 1, reports were filtering out that Leach was open to discussing the job. Over the weekend, message boards and blogs were openly discussing the possibility that the coach, known for his wide-open offenses while at Tech, will make the jump to the Hurricanes.

Leach, whose Red Red Raiders went 7-5 this season, is slated to coach in the Insight Bowl on Dec. 29.

Apple launches iTunes in New Zealand

December 6, 2006

Apple Computers announced today that it's long awaited iTunes store is available to New Zealanders. They also launched the online Apple Store New Zealand which provides Apple products, such as iPods, Mac minis, etc. New Zealand is number 22 on the number of countries who have the iTunes store and the tenth music download store in New Zealand.

The launch means that New Zealanders can now download music to transfer to their iPods, legally. However the music is only available to iPod's as converting the music to the MP3 standard for other MP3 players is illegal in New Zealand. Some music download sites in New Zealand support MP3 formats, like Digirama which sell their music tracks for $1.75.

The New Zealand iTunes store provides the most digital music tracks in New Zealand at around two million and each song costs NZ$1.79 or a music video costs $3.59 of which there around thousands, an album will usually cost about $17.99 and a game will cost $7.99. The music tracks also include New Zealand artists such as Brooke Fraser, Tim Finn, Fat Freddy's Drop, etc and also includes international exclusive albums such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ben Harper, etc.

Eddy Cue, vice president of Apple, said: "We're thrilled to bring the iTunes Store and the online Apple Store to our customers in New Zealand just in time for the holidays."

There were rumours surrounding the launch of a New Zealand iTunes store this week.

The podcast section on iTunes also covers a wide range of podcasts, equalling over 65,000. The New Zealand podcasts include such companies as TVNZ (Television New Zealand), Radio New Zealand and The Voice Booth.

It is commonly believed that the reason the store was halted until now was because Apple has to make separate contracts with each recording company in each country.

iTunes is likely to become the dominant music download store in New Zealand, following the trend of other countries.

The special edition iPod nano has also been released in New Zealand. The special edition is red in colour instead of the normal white and black colours. The special iPod is available only on the online store at the same price as the normal iPod nanos but some of the profit goes to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Renaissance is New Zealand's distributor of Apple goods and will still keep its contract despite Renaissance not being directly involved in both of the new online stores. Renaissance said: "New Zealand will now come under Apple's worldwide pricing model."

Australian MPs suggest Australia and New Zealand unification

December 6, 2006

A committee of Australian MPs have suggested that Australia and New Zealand become a single nation in the future. The suggestion follows an investigation into harmonising the countries' legal systems.

The two countries are separated by 1900 km (1200 miles) of sea. Australia has a population of 20 million, while New Zealand has a population of 4 million.

Prior to 1901, New Zealand was considered one of the seven British colonies of Australasia, six of which united to form Australia in 1901.

The committee, which had representatives from both sides of Australian politics found that there were close ties between the two countries. People are free to move between the two countries without visas and there is a high-degree of co-operation between governments. The committee's report said "While New Zealand ultimately chose not to join the federation, it is still included in the definition of the states in the Australian constitution.

"This historical context forms a backdrop to the closeness and breadth of the relationship between Australia and New Zealand today.

"While Australia and New Zealand are, of course, two sovereign nations, it seems to the committee that the strong ties between the two countries - the economic, cultural, migration, defence, governmental, and people to people linkages - suggest that an even closer relationship, including the possibility of union, is both desirable and realistic."

Chairman of the committee, Peter Slipper said Australia now wished for another committee to be established to look at integration between the two nations in the future. Such a committee would be poised to look at monetary and national union.

The committee acknowledged that despite legal harmonisation being relatively easy, the merger of the two countries could be difficult. "The committee is also mindful that the harmonisation of laws is very much the art of the possible. Thus the merger of Australia and New Zealand or the progression to a unitary system of government in Australia, however desirable, might not be easy to achieve," the committee's report said.

The suggestion has received a cold reception in New Zealand. New Zealand's citizens have regularly rejected suggestions that their country be part of Australia, a sentiment echoed by Prime Minister Helen Clark. Mrs Clark said she had no intention of placing the proposal on the government's agenda.

"It won't be on our agenda 105 years later", she said.

New Zealand's Foreign Minister, Winston Peters dismissed the proposal calling it a case of "parliamentary adventurism". He said despite the two countries close relationship, the two countries were too geographically separated. "New Zealand is 1200 miles (1900 km) away from Australia and that's 1200 reasons why I don't go along with that committee, nor will New Zealanders," Mr Peters said.

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 PabSungenis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name PabSungenis~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

What? jee I can't foresee that happening. The only thing we share is our Head of State...Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 08:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * /me secretly hopes it remains as is...just kidding :) Daniel.Bryant 09:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Head of state, hope there's no change in that at any time :) Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 09:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I was kind of shocked when I read it - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 10:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Name change
I think Australian MPs suggest Australia and New Zealand unification would be a better title - it feels less clumsy than the current one and is more accurate :) --Errant 16:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed, I had trouble thinking of a good title, but that one is way better - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 20:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Treaty
This would be great. Maybe NZ could then force the recalcitrant Australian government to make a treaty with the traditional owners such as NZ has with the Maoris (the Treaty of Waitangi).

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 Nattyjam. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nattyjam~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) 06:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
