From User:Raccoon Fox to User:Ringtailedfox
I wish to have my account name changed from User:Raccoon Fox to User:RingtailedFox, to prevent hacking and vandalism (as was the case on wiktionary, EN Wikipedia, FR Wikipedia, and the Wikipedia Commons...), and it will bring my wikinews account in line with my English Wikipedia, English Wiktionary, and Wikipedia Commons account names. It was suggested by User:FellowWikiNews and User:Thunderhead. Raccoon Fox 23:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Justen to J
I'm w:User:J on Wikipedia (previously w:User:Justen, as well). Although User:J is taken here, it has never made any edits. Seems like the policy on some other wikiprojects is to allow usurps, so I hope it's the same here. Thank you, in advance! user:justen   talk   07:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal

User:TheFearow to User:Matt
I'd like to have my name changed to Matt, which is available. It's my first name, and i'd prefer to use it. TheFearow | userpage|contribs 01:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Just a note so I can use a new summary as I stuffed up the old one. TheFearow | userpage|contribs 01:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Brian per IRC request. Matt | userpage|contribs 08:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Edmundkh to EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa
Please change my username as above. I've done such username change is other wikis, so I'd like to do the same here. Please leave me a message in Wikipedia. Thanks a lot! --Edmundkh 17:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC) ✅ Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 00:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

User:vishwin60 to User:O
Please change my username as I've stated in the heading, as it is needed to prevent conflicts if and when SUL happens, as I've got accounts named vishwin60 and O on various Wikimedia wikis. I know I've only made four edits here, but clean registering a new account would actually be more confusing, as evident here. Thanks, --vishwin (talk) 20:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Done--Cspurrier 21:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Rick to digx
Please change my username as above (or Digx to conform with the Wiki standard). Thanks! Rick 21:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * done --Cspurrier 21:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Matt to User:TheFearow
In preperation for SUL, I need to be renamed back. I did not realise at the time that I could not merge Matt back into TheFearow, so I would be stuck with two accounts. Sorry about the renaming back, hopefully its not too much strain. Matt/TheFearow | userpage|contribs 23:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikihermit to CO

 * Reason: Unifying username across wikimedias. ~  Wi ki her mit  02:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * ping.... ~  Wi ki her mit  02:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done --Cspurrier 16:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Nathannoblet to Spiderpig0001

 * Reason: Get in line with Simple Wikipedia username. -- Nathannoblet 20:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is no w:User:Spiderpig0001. w:User:Nathannoblet redirects to w:User:Punk Boi 8. This user is serving a one year ban from Wikipedia and it has been established that this blocked user is the puppet master of one or more abusive or block-/ban-evading sock puppets. --SVTCobra 20:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * See HERE, and those were not my socks. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY! -- Nathannoblet 20:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Then why did you create your userpage with a link to the "Nathannoblet" account on Wikipedia, which has blocked notices? And why didn't you create a new account on Wikipedia called "Spiderpig0001"? Why didn't you add a link to your "Spiderpig0001" account on Simple Wikipedia instead of the blocked account?  —Fellow Wiki  Newsie 22:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done --Cspurrier 16:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Picaroon9288 to Picaroon
Changing username on all Wikimedia projects. Link for bureaucrat's convenience. Picaroon (t) 04:09, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done --Cspurrier 16:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikisoup to Wikidsoup
I've been using Wikisoup on wikinews. I tried to make an account with the same username on wikipedia, but someone already had it (with only 1 edit from 2006!). Anyway, I created Wikidsoup on wikipedia, and would like my Wikisoup in wikinews renamed to Wikidsoup to match, please. Thanks! Wikisoup 18:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Done--Cspurrier 20:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Cspurrier! That was fast Wikidsoup 21:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

user:Gangleri → לערי ריינהארט

 * Current name: Gangleri ( talk · contribs · [ logs ] · [ block log ] )
 * Requested name: [ special:Listusers ] ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: יידישע וויקיפעדיע
 * The link יידישע וויקיפעדיע links to a project of the Wikimedia Foundation the Yiddish Wikipedia.
 * The section points to « » ; the transcription is «  » ; That's me.
 * Thanks in advance! Best regards Gangleri
 * ·לערי ריינהארט·T·m:Th·T·email me· 07:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Personally I am unhappy with non-latin character usernames on the English Wikinews and believe this should be discouraged. I appreciate this will be more of an issue when SUL is implemented but I believe it is too easy for someone to create a similar-looking username that will confuse people not familiar with the details of the characters. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

 * ✅ I note Brianmc comments, however have renamed the user. Sorry for the delay, have been away Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 02:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

=== Wilhelm → Cirt ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Uniformity w/ English Wikipedia, see DIFF. Wilhelm 22:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * done --Cspurrier 15:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

=== Brunoy Anastasiya Seyozhenko → Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: When I create this account some days ago, I forgot the letter r in Seryozhenko, and how I use this username in all Wikimedia projects who I participe, here isn't different. Brunoy Anastasiya Seyozhenko Messengers 02:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * done--Cspurrier 03:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

=== Humberto 2 → Humberto ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I'd like to change my usermame to use SUL, I'm sysop at es.wiki. Also I have accounts in commons, some wikis and meta. Thanks Humberto 2 - (talk) 00:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As the requested name already exists, it requires an usurpation. I have sent the user an e-mail. If within 7 days they have not objected, you can be renamed. --Cspurrier - (talk) 17:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * done--Cspurrier - (talk) 21:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

=== Erwin → Erwin (Usurp) ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I'd like to use the name Erwin with my global account. I'm m:User:Erwin and created the global account called Erwin, as can be seen from m:User:Erwin/Matrix. Erwin85 - (talk) 21:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * E-mail sent, now we just have to wait a week. --Cspurrier - (talk) 17:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Did he reply or can the current Erwin be renamed? --Erwin85 - (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It says "Cannot rename user Erwin as this username is reserved for a global account." See Steward_requests/SUL_requests.
 * Thanks, I can use my global account now. --Erwin - (talk) 20:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

=== Anonymous101 → Smallbig ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I don't want to be linked with the organization anonymous, which I am in no way affiliated with. I think a signature different to my user name would be confusing and my long signature is annoying and doesn't affect the page history anyway. Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) (Note I have no link with the organization anonymous) 17:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, can not be done. This username has been mirgrated to the unified login system. Please see bug 13507 for more details.--Cspurrier - (talk) 17:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. Thanks for responding to my request --Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) (Note I have no link with the organization anonymous) 18:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

=== RealHeron → Heron ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I own the username Heron on en:, where I'm a sysop, and on other WM projects, so I'd like to use it here too. The only problem is, the account already exists here, although it has never been used. Is it possible to usurp it, please? RealHeron - (talk) 18:03, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done--Cspurrier - (talk) 19:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Heron - (talk) 17:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

=== Ashibaka → Shii ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Renaming all my accounts so I can create a global account. Ashibaka (talk) 00:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅--Cspurrier (talk) 01:45, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

=== TempAccount → MER-C ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I'm MER-C on Wikipedia and I'd like to be renamed for SUL purposes. The existing account was created by an impersonator (unfortunately variations of my real username are on the username blacklist) and needs to be usurped. Confirmation edit. Thanks. TempAccount (talk) 06:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 08:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

=== Funpika → FunPika ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: The p in my username needs to be capitalized so SUL will work right for me. Funpika confirmation (talk) 01:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅--Cspurrier (talk) 03:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

=== Xyrael → Sean Whitton ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Getting my accounts renamed to go for SUL at long last. Thanks. Xyrael (talk) 09:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 12:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

=== The thing → TheThingy ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Changing on all wikis to go with my YouTube account. The thing (talk) 22:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Chiacomo (talk) 22:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

=== Jorgepeixoto → JorgePeixoto === I have the username JorgePeixoto in most wikis, such as the English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:JorgePeixoto&diff=next&oldid=221508822 Jorge Peixoto (talk) 19:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I want to have the same username as in other wikis so I can use SUL
 * I see it has been done. Thank you. -- Jorge Peixoto (talk) 00:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Mohamed0 → Mohamed
This is my account on other projects. please rename user:Mohamed to user:Mohamed something else and then rename Mohamed0 to Mohamed. Please don't just rename "user:mohamed", Please rename mohamed0 to mohamed, because my global account isn't active now because I still have to make requests like this one on another projects. Thanks. proof.--Mohamed0 (talk) 16:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 17:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Jaxl2 → Jaxl

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I am a sysop on the English Wikipedia and the English Wikiquote and would like to usurp the username Jaxl (created by an impostor) here for SUL purposes. Jaxl2 (talk) 03:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC) confirmation edit on WQ account
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 15:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Mephiles → Mephiles602

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: To use the unified login system in the future and to have the same username as the one in wikipedia. Mephiles (talk) 09:52, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- IlyaHaykinson (talk) 07:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

LaraLove → Jennavecia

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Global name change. Already changed on en, meta, and simple. LaraLove (talk) 13:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC) Looking at Amerique's request, considering this name was automatically created, it seems as if it may be necessary to make an edit with this account. Lara aka Jennavecia (talk) 13:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Not done. Pulling up the rename page gives a bright read, and dire warning, "User LaraLove has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one." --Brian McNeil / talk 14:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am aware. But considering I've changed my name on the other projects, this is currently detached from the system. In order to unify, I need my name changed, hence the request. Jennavecia (talk) 15:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This has been done, but - to be blunt - it was a bloody mess. You'd unified two accounts, and completely misunderstood the comment on the above request. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:28, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Jonjonbt → Jonathan
=== Lee-SUL → Lee ===
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Hi, I've been unifying my account and would like to link my account to Wikinews. Jonjonbt (talk) 23:29, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 20:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: SUL.I'm Lee from Sinhala wikipedia. I need the ownership of account Lee to complete my SUL setup. Current user Lee does not have any edits other than Spams at Special:Contributions/Lee and his personal pages. Lee-SUL (talk) 14:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 20:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

NL-Romaine → Romaine

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: For SUL/global login, thanks! NL-Romaine (talk) 23:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ by on 13 June 2008. Cirt (talk) 23:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Brassratgirl → Phoebe

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: SUL'ing myself. Phoebe here has no contribs. See wikimatrix for my accounts. Thanks! Brassratgirl (talk) 03:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 13:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Beano1 → Beano

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Would like to usurp the Vandalism-only account Beano and be able to use it as my SUL. I am originally from the English Wikipedia, and have already added a page in my userspace with an edit to prove that this account is controlled by Beano and not an impersonator. This edit is here. Thank you! Beano1 (talk) 09:07, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Brian McNeil / talk 09:19, 18 November 2008 (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 Sirnickdon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sirnickdon~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 23:30, 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) 06:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:UK Police evacuate Birmingham city centre

I renamed this article to avoid possible confusion since another Birmingham, Birmingham, Alamaba, is in the path of Hurricane Dennis and is also subject to pending evacuation. -- Davodd | Talk 21:32, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks! -- NGerda 21:33, July 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Good work, but as a rambiling side note Birmingham AL has never and probally will never be evacuated for a hurricane as it is 200 miles inland. (Although Hurricane Frances ,as a tropical storm/depression, did cause some damage there in the 2004 season) More commonly, people from Florida and the Moblie AL reagion evacuate to Birmingham AL. --Mitrebox 05:27, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

A few linked arms around a sidewalk structure to avoid being hauled away by police.

Chanting “Blankenship, Blankenship, Blankenship,” and waving bed sheets for flags, the demonstrators demanded to be seen and heard by the Massey Chairman and CEO, Don Blankenship. Arrests for were avoided when two security guards were sent by the company to retrieve a list of their demands.

The demonstration, timed to coincide with Scotland's G8 conference, was organized by a group called “Mountain Justice Summer” and environmentalists to protest mountain top removal mining techniques. The company’s mining operations are located in the in the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. Massey is the United States' fourth-largest coal mining operation.

Newspaper refuses to utilize leaked documents in article

July 10, 2005

On Saturday, Doug Clifton, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, said that the newspaper is trying to find a way to publish two "profoundly important" news stories, without the use of documents he states were illegally leaked to staff reporters. On legal advice, the newspaper was withholding the stories out of fear that reporters might be jailed. Clifton did not further characterize the subject of the investigative stories.

"Basically, we have come by material leaked to us that would be problematical for the person who leaked it," Mr. Clifton said in a New York Times telephone interview. "The material was under seal or something along those lines."

A newspaper industry trade journal quoted Mr. Clifton saying, "The reporters say, 'Well, we're willing to go to jail, and I'm willing to go to jail if it gets laid on me,'" he said, "but the newspaper isn't willing to go to jail. That's what the lawyers have told us. So this is a TIME Inc. sort of situation," according to Editor & Publisher.

The TIME Inc. reporter Matt Cooper, who along with New York Times correspondent Judith Miller, both long held out against a contempt of court order to name their sources in the outing of Valerie Plame. Cooper agreed Wednesday to testify, but it is unclear if he has the consent of his source, and Miller was sentenced to jail for refusing to cooperate.

Although Time Inc. was not specifically pursued by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald in the case, they agreed to release Cooper's reporting notes.

The Plain Dealer has the highest circulation in Ohio and was listed last year as the nation's 21st largest daily paper.

North Korea to rejoin six-nation talks

July 10, 2005 Last night, North Korea agreed to rejoin a six-nation talk on disarming its nuclear weapons after more than a year of dissent. The agreement was reached at a dinner meeting hosted by the Chinese which included Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill. At the same time Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Beijing.

North Korea's Korean Central News Agency issued a statement saying the talks would resume because the preconditions for negotiations were met: "The U.S. side clarified its official stand to recognize the DPRK as a sovereign state, not to invade it and hold bilateral talks within the framework of the six-party talks."

North Korea would allow talks if the United States would treat the country with respect, referring to earlier comments by Condoleezza Rice, who had called North Korea an "outpost of tyranny." According to the statement, the North Korean government views the meeting with Hill as a "retraction" of these earlier comments.

The Chinese government has offered to host the talks once again. China has hosted three prior talks without substantial results.

User:Eloquence/Survey

These are questions I intend to ask Wikinews users from all language editions, perhaps by e-mail, perhaps through a web interface. I do think that questions should not be publicly answered, because I want people to not be afraid to express an honest opinion -- answers can be anonymized on request. This is part of the research for my next state of the wiki. Please do add questions which you think would be useful.

Questions in parentheses will only be asked for editions where I can't easily determine the answer myself.

Are you satisfied or not satisfied with the current level of activity on your edition?

What are in your opinion the most impressive examples of original reporting on your wiki so far, if any?

What are in your opinion the most impressive articles not containing original reporting?

Were you satisfied with the quality of coverage of the London terrorist attacks on your wiki?

Did you feel that it was superior or inferior to the quality of the summary provided by Wikipedia?

(Has there been a sustained increase in activity after the London terrorist attacks?)

If wiki uses it: Could you describe your experience with the DynamicPageList extension, and what changes you would like to make?

If wiki doesn't use it: Are you aware of the DynamicPageList extension? Is there a particular reason you are not using it?

If wiki uses it: Could you describe your experience with the inputbox extension, and what changes you would like to make?

If wiki doesn't use it: Are you aware of the inputbox extension? Is there a particular reason you are not using it?

Do you feel that there is hostility from other Wikimedia projects? If so, can you cite specific examples?

Do you feel that the Wikimedia organization is supporting Wikinews as much as it should? If not, what do you think should be changed?

Are you aware of WORTNET? Do you think it is a good idea? How could it be improved?

Do you feel that Wikinews should cover highly local stories (e.g. from a small city)? If so, can you think of ways to encourage that?

Have there been significant POV, copyright or legal issues? If so, could you describe them?

Have there been other conflicts in your edition? If so, could you describe what the causes were?

What software changes would be the most important to make Wikinews work better?

Do you think Wikinews should allow commentaries and editorials? (Does your Wikinews edition allow them?)

(Is your edition experimenting with audio, print, or video?)

Do you think live audio reports should be a part of Wikinews?

Mixed reactions to G8 summit

July 10, 2005

On Friday, the annual meeting of the leaders of the world's eight most powerful countries, the Group of Eight (G8), ended ahead of schedule with few resolutions to the disappointment of many. The G8 meeting ended early Friday to accommodate Tony Blair, who requested to return to London in response to Thursday's bombings in London. At the conclusion of the meeting, the leaders pledged to increase humanitarian aid to Africa by $50 billion, however $30 billion had already been pledged previously.

The group was unable to make significant progress regarding global warming, but made several key decisions relating to combating poverty in Africa. The eight leaders pledged to double the previously proposed aid of $25 billion to $50 billion a year by 2010. The group also confirmed an earlier announcement that they would cancel the debt of 18 countries, mostly in Africa, selected from among the 38 heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs).

Additionally, $2 billion was earmarked for aid to the Palestine Nation. In addition to the increase in aid for Africa, the group announced universal access to AIDS treatment, committed to a peacekeeping force in Africa, and heard African leaders' promises to move toward democracies that follow the rule of law.

Disappointment from anti-poverty activists
Adriano Campolina Soares, head of ActionAid's Americas office, stated her disappointment with the resolutions. "The G8 have completely failed to deliver trade justice. President George W. Bush and the European Union have played a cynical game of bluff. The US has no intention of giving up or lowering the massive subsidies it gives its cotton farmers, that are forcing 10 million farmers in West Africa out of business. Poor countries should take this as a warning that they will have a hard fight in the upcoming trade talks at the World Trade Organization."

Jennifer Morgan, climate-change director for the World Wildlife Fund expressed frustration with the United States' effort. "There's been no movement from the Bush administration, even the very noble efforts of Prime Minister Blair to get President Bush to change his position have failed."

Others happy with resolution
U2 singer Bono sees it in a different perspective. "It's worth stopping for a second and looking back down the valley of where we've come from, we jumped up and down when Live 8 raised $200 million, and now, to stop for a second, we are talking about $25 billion in new money."

Live 8 organizer Bob Geldof described the summit as a "qualified triumph."

Gordon Brown, British Chancellor of the Exchequer: "It makes you angry because there's nothing in science or technology or medicine that should prevent us from tackling poverty. It's a lack of political will and if Gleneagles is about anything it's bringing together all the countries of the world - rich and poor - agreeing that we've got to take the action that's necessary. That's why I hope by the time Gleneagles is finished we can say that the timetable for action and poverty is one that will lead to great improvements by 2015."

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 Mitrebox. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mitrebox~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 23:22, 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)

Birmingham UK threat was 'real and very credible'

July 10, 2005

Birmingham police have re-opened the British city's centre after evacuating 20,000 people from it last night.

The cordon had been largely lifted at 6am BST after the centre was sealed off for most of the night.

Police Chief Constable Paul Scott said on Sunday that "a real and very credible threat" had faced Birmingham, but he declined to be specific about its nature.

However he stressed that the intelligence he had received indicated that the threat had been genuine.

Scott said that the evacuation had been "a proportionate response to the information. We haven't had this level of threat before, the people of Birmingham were in danger last night."

But the Chief Constable also explained that "I do not believe that the incident that we are dealing with this evening is connected with the events of July 7 in London."

Four controlled explosions were carried out on a bus to destroy suspected explosive devices after a call by a member of the public, but later investigations showed that they had been safe.

A further suspicious package at the Travelodge hotel on Broad Street was also declared safe.

Luxembourg votes Yes to the EU treaty

July 10, 2005

The people of Luxembourg voted a slight yes today on a referendum on the EU Constitution, which was the first national referendum since 1937. A large turnout was expected considering that there is a legal obligation to vote in Luxembourg, overall 220 000 people voted out of 223 000 voters. A close vote was expected as the last opinion poll a month ago indicated a small advantage for the "yes", but a substantial 16% of non-decided.

The results were 56.52% voted "Jo" (Yes) and 43.48% voted "Nee" (No).

Traditionally, Luxembourgers are pro-European, and all the major parties backed the approval. However globalisation, rising unemployment, immigration & the new Eastern members made some of them feel uneasy, same as in neighbouring France and in the Netherlands where a majority of people rejected the treaty.

Hurricane Dennis makes landfall on Gulf Coast near Pensacola

July 11, 2005

regained strength during its north-westerly crossing of the Gulf of Mexico to surge into Florida's western near, Alabama with  force that packed sustained winds of 120.

, and  were the first Florida counties hit by the  of the hurricane at 3:25  Sunday afternoon. The small storm eye of the powerful hurricane spared the region more major destruction.

The compact storm picked up travel speed from 14 to 18 mph as it came to within 3 hours of landfall, where the storm's eye made for the Pensacola Bay. Its strength suddenly dropped from Category 4 before it struck land and moved swiftly inland. It continued to gain speed, traveling at 21 mph, while its strength sapped to Category 2 on a track into the Ohio Valley.

Residents of and  who remained in the region, were told hours before the storm's arrival that storm shelters were full, and they were urged to stay home or find other shelter. In Escambia County Florida, officials announced at 2pm they were no longer able to respond to calls for help due to the high winds.

The storm came 10 months after, which struck the panhandle and region last year. Dennis landed just 50 miles east of Ivan's, where recovery efforts from that storm were still ongoing. The Dennis landfall matched Ivan's Category 3 wind speeds.

Power outages were reported in Mobile and across the panhandle. Florida governor Jeb Bush promised in a televised press conference that all efforts to restore power would be done as quickly as possible so that, "people can help themselves" recover from the storm. A hospital administrator at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola said it lost power at 2:30pm, and can operate 60 hours using back-up power generators.

Sunday evening, President Bush declared that Florida has major disaster areas, making the state eligible for FEMA assistance.

In Alabama, interstate highway I-65 was re-routed for northbound traffic only when an evacuation order was issued on Friday, by, for and  counties. Northern parts of the state, up into the southern part of Tennessee, were booked full with those who evacuated. A curfew lifted Sunday at 6pm in the city of Mobile.

The Mississippi region was victim of the Category 5 storm,, in 1969.

Baugur Group withdraws from Somerfield bid

July 9, 2005

The Icelandic investment firm Baugur has decided to withdraw from the Somerfield bid because of legal action against some of it's core employees including its CEO, Jón Ásgeir Jónsson, and chief of board, Haukur Loftsson. Baugur Group will also sell each share it owns in Somerfield.

Baugur Group had previously made EUR1.5 billion bid as had been covered on Wikinews.

Baugur makes a US$1,8 billion bid for Somerfield

Baugur used to own 5.5% of Somerfield's shares, but they will be sold to the Iranian businessman Roberts Tchenguiz for 190 pence per share, in total about 55 million pounds. Baugur will probably earn 30 million pounds by selling them.

Baugur has also reached agreement with it's partner companies that if they will be able too buy Somerfield they will repay Baugur what it has spent on research.

Baugur decided to withdraw from the bid so that the legal actions would not harm it's partner companies.

Tildes and Burundi
If you create an account, the tildes will even sign your name for you! I don't know what they are either, and I'm still learning the code too :) We often have stuff that nobody else is reporting, it's a really important part of what Wikinews does. I have an interest in the Great Lakes: was in Rwanda last month and met several Burundians, I'm also working on a media project with journalism students in Rwanda though I haven't quite been able to lure them onto the Wiki yet! Leave me a message on my Talk page if you need any help with anything - hope you keep writing :) ClareWhite 14:12, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Natovr1~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)
