Talk:Ian Thorpe starts to recover from chest pains

As always, this story was originally published on Swim-Sites, now i'm giving it to Wikinews. → →  CGorman (Talk) 16:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violation?
Uh, are you the author of this article on your other site? If so, there should really be a notice on the article or its talk page that you are licensing the article under the CC Attribution 2.5 license in both places. And, as such, the article would require attribution to your website (or you, or whatever) to comply. What's the rule on this? ironiridis 18:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I should clarify what I mean: I can't find any evidence of your usage of a CC license on your website. Therefore, I don't believe it's possible to use your article verbatim on Wikinews, even if it's yours to begin with. On your website, you need to specify that you release the article under the same or a compatible license (I don't know of any other than public domain) on the article that you're reusing. Putting a link here in the talk page is fine, but I almost feel like there should be some template or something that this article came directly from your site, unmodified, and include the required attribution. ironiridis 19:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Ironiridis, I don't really know what you want me to do, as one of the first Wikinewsies and one of it's top contributors I happily release my news articles regularly into the public domain through Wikinews. Once I publish them here you are free to modify them as you want. I've added a small notice regarding this here: Swim-Sites News. Finally... i've been absent from the project for quite a while, so I'd like to welcome you here! → CGorman (Talk) 19:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to add sources to this article, but Wikinews keeps stalling and won't display the CAPCHA image to let me post a link. Ugh. ironiridis 16:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

The BBC just posted this story about the blogs being blocked. Their take is that it had more to do with bloggers debating the Danish cartoons of Muhammad rather than the Bush visit. andycarvin 19:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

It says 'a a' in a quote. This is either a fault in the quote and thus should be one 'a', or the quote is correct in which case is should say 'a a [sic]'. Van der Hoorn (talk) 19:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Band sticker causes bomb scare at Ohio University

March 3, 2006

A sticker for the Pensacola, Florida folk-punk band This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb was found on a bike near the Ohio University's Oasis restaurant by a university police officer.

The university police, who were unaware of the band's existence, summoned the Columbus police bomb squad, who destroyed the bike to ensure that there was no bomb inside. The university later discovered their error.

The bike's owner, a graduate student, has been charged with "inducing panic," a misdemeanor. He has been released and is due to appear in court March 13 on the charge.

The band's label, Plan-It-X Records, has not yet commented on the incident. The font and style of the sticker are common among such humorous stickers.

Emergency at JDS Uniphase in San Jose, CA

March 3, 2006 The San Jose, California fire department and Hazardous Materials crews today responded to a chemical emergency at a JDS Uniphase manufacturing facility. The incident, at 80 Rose Orchard Drive, off North First St., sent between 15 and 17 people, including two firefighters, to the hospital with symptoms and for observation.

Those exposed to the hazard reported a smell of "burnt rubber", along with symptoms of eye and throat irritation.

Over 48 others were held in a nearby building while the incident was assessed. Rose Orchard Way was closed for much of the day while emergency crews responded. Estimates put the incident at about 10 a.m. (1800 UTC).

As of 6 p.m. television news reports, authorities still had not determined the source or nature of the chemical, but said neighboring buildings were not in danger.

JDS Uniphase manufactures fiber optic communications and test equipment, and was formed from a merger of JDS FITEL and Uniphase Corporation in 1999.

Inciting a Riot!
Just to show how nothing has changed at all in the land of "Freedom" within the past 44 years; in 1962 I was arrested in Macon Georgia and charged with "inciting to riot" for going into a segregated area of the Macon Auditorium to say hello to some "colored" car hops I knew who worked at the "Pig and Whistle"....you guys in western Europe have absolutely no idea how much freedom you have been enjoying...keep swallowing up our culture and you'll soon see exactly what I mean; "you don't know what you've got 'til its gone".

No hotel previously on site of proposed Buffalo, N.Y. hotel location

The Common Council requested on Tuesday that a picture be found on what many thought was the site of a previous hotel.

The Proposed Elmwood Village Hotel would be placed on the intersection of Elmwood and Forest. It was suspected by residents and business owners in the area that hotel once stood in the same spot.

The Elmwood Village hotel is a proposed development by Savarino Construction Services Corp. In order for the project to proceed, at least five buildings (1119-1121 Elmwood) would need to be demolished. All five houses are currently occupied by businesses and residents.

After some research, a freelance journalist writing for Wikinews was able to determine that there was never a hotel on the proposed Elmwood Village Hotel site. However; there was a temporary hotel located on the northeast corner of Elmwood and Forest.

Buffalo was the host of the Pan-American Exposition from May 1 until November 2, 1901. It was a fair designed to feature the latest in technology, including electricity. There was a midway, athletic events, and had African, Eskimo, and Mexican villages. However; what is likely the most famous event that took place at the exposition was the assassination of then President William McKinley on September 6, 1901. He was shot by Leon Czolgosz just outside the Temple of Music and died eight days later while in the home of John Milburn on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. Just a short time later, Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated on September 14, 1901 at the Wilcox House on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. Nearly eight million people attended the exposition.

During that time several hotels and rooming houses were built around the exposition including The Elmwood at 717 Elmwood, the Hotel Elmhurst at Forest and Lincoln Parkway, Hotel Gibbs 1005-1021 Elmwood, the R. Palmerton Merritt at 441 Forest and The Norman at 422 Forest. None of these hotels or rooming houses exist today.

Probably the most famous hotel that was built during the exposition was the Statler's Pan-American Hotel built by Ellsworth Milton Statler A freelance journalist writing for Wikinews has obtained the only known reproduction photo of the hotel [pictured at the top]. The hotel stood on the northeast corner of Elmwood and Forest Avenues in Buffalo, had 2,100 sleeping rooms and accommodations for 5,000. At the time, the Statler was the largest hotel [based on the number of rooms] ever constructed. It was also the largest temporary hotel. It was three stories high, plastered on the inside, made mostly of wood and was covered with ornamental staff on the outside, which made it semi-fireproof. Every room was an outside room and was well lighted and ventilated. It was located within one block of the exposition's main entrance.

The Statler was built for only one thing, the exposition. Work began in 1900 and finished just before the beginning of the exposition. When the exposition ended in November, the hotel was taken down.

Maps from 1894 show that there was no hotel, let alone any buildings or houses on the intersection. However; research did show that the homes 1119-1121 Elmwood, the buildings that would be demolished to build the Elmwood Village Hotel, were built sometime before 1915 but were not on the intersection prior to 1902.

Based on research conducted at the Buffalo Historical Society, it was concluded that between the years of 1890 and 1902, no other major hotel existed in the area. In fact, research had shown that almost every hotel built in the area, existed only during the time of the exposition.

Research also indicated a hotel or a rooming house at 1089 Elmwood around 1901-1903. The only known name of the hotel was the John C. Hill Hotel. The hotel was in the house now called the Atwater House. The house was the first house to be built on the east side of the block. The Atwater House is currently vacant and owner Pano Georgiadis wants to demolish it to expand his restaurant. The house was built by 1894 and the original owner and builder of the house is currently unknown. Its earliest known occupant was Edward Atwater who in 1862 founded the oil refinery company of Atwater & Hawes in Buffalo. The site of this company was recently uncovered in the Canal District during an archeological dig.

At the moment, current research does not show any connection between the two men.

Statler's Pan-American Hotel was financially unsuccessful
The exposition was a commercial failure and what profit Statler did make on the hotel, went to build another temporary hotel for the 1904 St. Louis Exhibition. That hotel was successful and the profit made from it was used to build the first permanent Statler Hotel at 107 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. The hotel is no longer in operation, but small offices are currently operating in parts of the building.

Hotel Image
An e-mail was sent to me from the source of the image requesting that the image be "used with permission." After research with people from the Commons, we could not determine where the image was published thus not allowing for it to be Public domain. The image was changed to link to Wikinews for that reason. If you would like to see the e-mails from the source, please contact me through my e-mail address on my user page. Jason Safoutin 21:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

OR
Ok this is just a DRAFT. It is not a final piece. But since most of what I typed was all at the Buffalo historical Society, I could not get most of it home. For one, the maps I saw from 1894 were the size of a dining room table, so i could not get copies. I did get one map highlighting the hotels in the area during the Pan Am exposition. Also got a picture of the statler. Jason Safoutin 00:05, 4 March 2006 (UTC) :Also, I know there is POV in here and such but I typoed it fast so I could not forget :) Jason Safoutin 00:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok...any reference to a map not linked in the article can be found ON LOCATION at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. I was NOT allowed to take photos and the maps were the size of a small dining room table and no information that cannot be copied can be removed from the facility. The only map I got is pictured in the article. I snapped a picture of it from the copy I have. not a great one but its as good as I could get. The Statler Hotel image is the 2nd of only one other known image, and thats the source. At this moment, the Historical Society does NOT have a copy of this image and has only one image which i had previously in the article: . As far as I know, that image (Statler.jpg) is the only image at the society and the only other known image of the hotel. Most of the other information is sources. The information on the amount of rooms and the claim of largest constructed ar from a phamphlit copy I have. As Soon as I take a picture of it I will upload it. Jason Safoutin 15:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Reference to the Hotel John C Hill can also be found in a large book from 1900 or 1901-02. There is only a name and the hotel name. Nothing more nothing less. So far, I have not been able to track any other records of that name. But the house is still at 1089 Elmwood and is the Atwater House. No known connection between the 2 men as of yet. No mention in ANY documents of a John C. Hill in relation to the atwater house other than he had a hotel in that house at 1089 Elmwood in 1900-01 or 1902. Will get a copy of that reference on Monday if I can. Jason Safoutin 15:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Well done!
Very well done and complete article. (ack, I never remember to sign) ironiridis 18:53, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Context for Article
Good job on the reporting. It would be interesting to readers to have a sentence or two of background context on this issue, for example whether this was done to satisfy your own interest, at the request of the historical society or because it had zoning or ownership implications for current land use. Currently, a development project overlapping the site of the historical hotel is mentioned but is not tied to the rest of the article (unless I missed it). In short, more 'why' in the who/what/when/where/why would be helpful and maybe some way of indicating that the news is 'original research' (for example something like a 'Wikinews Scoop' tag).

Howard's 10 year party gatecrashed

March 5, 2006 62 Clendon Rd Toorak, Victoria was the address of John Howard's 10 year celebration as scores of Invited guests ranging from fellow Liberal Party members to the business elite. Yet scores of onlookers without a $10,000 per table invitation had something different to say about Prime Minister as they staged a counter party.

Unionists and members of the local Melbourne community chanted at the arriving Prime Minister and other politicians in attendance about the lack of access Australians have to the political process in Australia. John Howard's white ambassadorial sedan headed a convoy that was egged and surrounded before entering the Myer Family's estate. A tarpaulin was laid on the road in-front of the entrance which read "Raise funds for the needy, not the greedy" and "Howard: unforgivable, lies".

The media watched on as a congregating crowd shared pizza and engaged in a game of cricket, as a parody of John Howard's bowling attempts in a mid-2005 game with troops deployed overseas. A couple of people arrived suited up in black after messages had been circulating asking people to attend the counter-party in formal attire.

Police cordoned off a path leading up as guests arrived at which point most people left. One police officer was targeted and heckled by protestors and the media as he was not wearing identification after being involved in man-handling one middle-aged man away from the scene.

No injuries occurred and no arrests were made.

It's no problem at all, just that according to the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License, Indymedia must attribute the article to Wikinews. See here for an example.

Copyvio
Goldiemicky states that s/he "wrote the article directly into the wikipedia window". I assume s/he meant "Wikinews window". If this is the case, then the content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5, and it is not a copyvio for it to appear on Wikinews. Rather, Melbourne Indymedia has reused our content without attribution. I'm removing the copyvio tag. - Borofkin 03:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Mmm, according to the Indymedia timestamp, it was written there first. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 03:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I see the Wikinews article created at March 4, 15:00, and the Indymedia article created on March 4, 15:08, so the Indymedia article was created 8 minutes after the Wikinews article. I think this may be a timezone issue. - Borofkin 03:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh dear, I hadn't changed my preferences for Daylight savings. You think I'd have noticed that by now. I wonder if the Indymedia website is also wrong.... that 8 minute time difference is quite a co-incidence. - Borofkin 03:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

U.S. Pentagon releases Guantanamo detainees' names

March 7, 2006

The United States Pentagon, under court orders, has released the names of hundreds of Guantánamo detainees.

An Associated Press request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) brought about the release of the information, but the U.S. military is not being cooperative in doing so. The Pentagon has released 6,000 pages of documents on a website.

The documents are the transcripts of Combatant Status Review Tribunals of 500 detainees. The transcripts were released in June 2005 in response to an Associated Press FOIA request, but with the names blacked out.

Talk:U.S. Pentagon releases Guantanamo detainees' names

External link
does wiknews do "external links" sections? this can be added to it (or to sources):

url = http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt/index.html

title = Reprocessed Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT) and Administrative Review Board (ARB) Documents Released March 3, 2006

pub = US Department of Defence

date = March 3, 2006

Doldrums 07:54, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Cooperative
How so U.S. military not cooperative? -Edbrown05 08:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 'coz
 * the release was forced by federal judge rejecting DoD arguments against release, the DoD fought this all along.
 * list of detainees have not been released, what is released is a large number of documents from which the detainees have to be identified. it is unclear whether all detainees can be identified from the documents. from the AP story[italics mine]:
 * The names are scattered throughout the transcripts of hearings, and it was unclear how many names the documents contained. In most of the transcripts, the person speaking is identified only as "detainee." Names appear only when court officials or detainees refer to people by name.

 * sidenote (from the AP story)
 * A Pentagon lawyer delivered the documents - 60 files on a CD-ROM - about 20 minutes after the deadline at the close of business Friday. But within minutes, an officer returned and took back the CD-ROM, which contained letters from relatives of some of the prisoners that were not intended for release. A new version was provided over an hour later.

 * Doldrums 09:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Taken individually, there may be some quotable stuff in the PDF documents. A larger context to this overall story, I think, would need to be developed in order to support any narrow and 'damning' quotes from the .PDF files released by the DoD. -Edbrown05 09:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Black Box Voting finds anomalies in electronic voting logs of 2004 U.S. election

March 4, 2006

Last June, Black Box Voting successfully sued Palm Beach county, Florida for their audit record of the 2004 presidential election. The organization, which opposes most current electronic voting initiatives, examined the machines logs and recently released a report of their findings.

Black Box Voting claims that "The internal logs of at least 40 Sequoia touch-screen voting machines reveal that votes were time and date-stamped as cast two weeks before the election, sometimes in the middle of the night [after the Logic & Accuracy tests but before the election]."

Such access, they claim, requires "a high degree of inside access", but represents a "hasty or clumsy" intrusion. The Hursti experiments have demonstrated that such access need not leave any trace if done carefully.

The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, Arthur Anderson, has responded that his staff investigated the problem and found the votes to be normal, but that "the dates somehow changed." Jeff Darter, an IT official for Palm Beach County, has declined a request, by a member of the Palm Beach County electronic voting technical committee, for the identities of the individuals who had access to the machines.

Black Box Voting also claims that the logs provide support for claims by some voters that the wrong candidate was selected when they tried to vote. In addition, there appear to be numerous operator errors resulting in date, or other, inconsistencies.

Diebold "whistleblower" faces criminal charges in California

March 4, 2006

prosecutors have brought three felony charges against Stephen Heller for stealing documents from his employer, the law firm.

The legal documents discussed the legal ramifications of activist allegations that had used uncertified voting systems in  elections beginning in 2002. Jones Day represented the controversial electronic voting machine manufacturer at the time. The firm's lawyers concluded that if such uncertified systems were used, then Diebold could be sued by Alameda County for millions of dollars. The memos also discussed whether the California's secretary of state had the authority to investigate Diebold.

Mr. Heller has been charged with felony access to computer data, commercial burglary and receiving stolen property. He has pled not guilty.

Blair Berk, Heller's attorney said, "It's a devastating allegation for a whistle-blower. Certainly, someone who saw those documents could have reasonably believed that thousands of voters were going to be potentially disenfranchised in upcoming elections."

Minnesota GOP's CD raises privacy concerns

March 5, 2006

The Minnesota Republican Party is distributing a CD as part of a lobbying effort seeking a definition of marriage amendment, which would outlaw gay marriage.

Along with its pitch for the definition of marriage amendment, the CD asks people their views on various controversial issues, including abortion, gun control, and illegal immigration.

The CD has raised privacy concerns after it was discovered that the information is reported back to the Minnesota Republican Party along with the name of the person filling out the questionnaire, while the CD does not reveal that the data is being sent.

Governor Tim Pawlenty has said that the CD "should make clear that [it] is mining information."

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 Ramandu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ramandu~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 23:21, 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 Claregoslant. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Claregoslant~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * That information is true if you look it up, you will see this. I don't edit Wikinews that often.  I am on Wikipedia more often.  --Kalmia 03:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

 * My apoligies, I made a mistake. I thought it was vandalism, which it evidently wasn't, and shouldn't of reverted/gave you the test template. Sorry about that. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Dispute resolution
MrM, as you have probably noticed, I have added a section to the dispute resultion page outlining issues that I have with your behaviour on this wiki. While these issues were mostly already mentioned on article talk pages, I do not feel that they have been cleared up in any satisfactory way. There is only a certain subset of your behaviour that I actually take issue with, and I value your contributions to writing articles and constructively improving the quality of articles that I have seen from you. Especially lately I have discovered that I am having an increasingly difficult time to assume good faith on cerain edits you made and found acting more agressively than I would like (and probably should). Maybe we can use this dispute resulution process to strenghten our mutual respect and smooth our interaction in the future. To this end I welcome you to comment on my statement and lay out issues you see with my behaviour. --vonbergm 22:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You are fascist
It was not vandalism.

Copyright owner
Hi,

I am the author of the articles two articles submitted. I am also the sole owner/editor of the content published on the website (http://www.motorsporttoday.com). What is the problem with the articles? MT 02:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

"speculation" in Bush told before war ...
reg. Bush told before war 'Saddam unlikely to attack US', please point to the statements which you believe are speculative. Doldrums 04:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * please point out statements in the article that u believe are non-neutral & any actionable objections. going by the edit summary, if the neutrality concerns are the same ones listed under "speculation", these have been responded to. pls read the responses and comment. Doldrums 18:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Please remove your custom user templates
Yes, I understand they are not templates but elements from your user space. Their purpose is to mimic user templates, something which has proven to be highly divisive elsewhere. Please remove them. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Fixed
I fixed your template on this page. Just FYI. ironiridis 07:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Alleged disruption by Neutralizer
I have looked at the issue of date pushing and find only one incidence of this in the article BBC global poll finds majority feel the US led Iraq invasion increased likelihood of terrorist attacks. The others you have cited were changed when the article was published, something which is common on WN.

As for your objections with BBC global poll finds majority feel the US led Iraq invasion increased likelihood of terrorist attacks Neutralizer asked on the article talk page for you to clarify your objections yet you failed to do so. From my POV, your cleanup tag was an attempt to delay the publication of the article with no solid basis (much like my NSW cannabis article a few weeks ago).

With Bush told before war 'Saddam unlikely to attack US' your argument seems to be valid except that you originally applied a cleanup tag where npov should have been used. Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 21:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately bumping the dateline to the date which is published is common contrary to your belief. I dont see you complaining about others when they do it. As with the cleanup tag, I understand you do not have to put your reasons on the talk page, but it is polite and best-practice that if someone can not understand the problem and asks for clarification to reply. You placed the tag you should help them understand why and help to fix the problem. Where did I say it was policy to comment on the talk page with a cleanup?
 * As for your vote against my administratorship, I have no problem with that, despite your very reasoning being flawed (as your claim that I said it is policy to comment on cleanup).
 * I am not defending Neutralizer's actions, there seems to be issues between the two of you which are going to have to be sorted out - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 23:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Dispute resolution - apology
Hi Mrmiscellanious. I owe you an apology. I assumed at the time that this edit was sufficient notification of the dispute resolution process, but in hindsight that is obviously not the case. I've never been involved in such a process before, and have never paid much attention to them. I hope that the lack of notification has not annoyed you. I started Dispute resolution/Users Borofkin, Mrmiscellanious, and others thinking of myself more as mediator than dispute participant, but that also obviously isn't the case, so I have confined my contribution to a single statement, and attempted only to encourage other participants to be constructive, rather than to "gang up" on you. I hope that you can acknowledge that there is a problem (not necessarily a problem with you), and I hope that we can work towards some kind of a consensus as to how we can prevent further problems. You are welcome to discuss this further on my talk page if you like, however I think that considering four people have now made statements on the dispute resolution page, partitpation there will also be important. - Borofkin 23:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

dispute resolution
I have made a statment here and are among others waiting in good faith for your participation to solve this dispute. International 18:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Dispute resolution - joint statement
Hi Mrmiscellanious ... I've started a draft joint statement as part of the dispute resolution process. You are welcome to participate. - Borofkin 23:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

RfAr
You were notified a week ago that I had listed some objections with your actions at Dispute resolution/Users Borofkin, Mrmiscellanious, and others. Seeing as you have ignored the informal process I have listed them at WN:RfAr - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 07:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I notice you claim that there have been personal attacks made against you during the two processes above. Can you provide evidence of this? I think the community has been fair in attempting to resolve their differences with you directly, but you fail to even acknowledge this. - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 08:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I fail to see these personal attacks being levied at you. There certainly hae been none on my behalf. What is being claimed are statements of fact, backed up by evidence. I would also urge you to take a look at w:WP:HAR and think about that in relation to some of your comments towards Neutralizer - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 21:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Looking at WN:DISPUTE all steps except maybe WN:TEA have been followed. You decided not to participate in them. Your failure to participate has not negated any actions on my behalf. Your failure to co-operate with processes which have been establised on Wikinews only further reinforces my point - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 21:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I do not think there is any favourtism on my behalf. You will notice that I have on occasion actually agreed with you where Neutralizer is concerned but at the same time some of your actions serve to damage your own arguments. I am well aware of Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal)

I think it is time for this

Disclosure of US troop field locations in stub
I was startled to see what appeared to be current US troops in the field locations and US military vehicle signage info on a stub U.S. Forces Bases. Chiacomo speedy deleted this for me but now I am wondering about the author of the stub and what our protocol should be. I'll leave it in your hands but please have a look and see what you think because it did not look like a hoax to me and I am pretty sure public disclosure of current US troop locations is a major crime. The contributor should definitely be watched or blocked, I think. I can't imagine Wikinews would be a place for sending "insurgent" intel messaging? I imagine a chat room would be better; but it sure looked strange to me. I alerted Amgine but he did not respond, but I am sure you will not ignore this if you have a look at the article.

Recent edit on Condi article
Hi MrM. I wanted to talk to you about This edit. The sentence "The only people who make that claim are those who are too lazy to even attempt to achieve neutrality" is quite clearly a personal attack against Elliot. The likely result will be for him to become angry, and lash out at you in response. The point you were trying to make could have been made without getting personal (i.e. calling other contributors "lazy").

Lazy? Approx 100 articles contributed by me since October? Please don't attack me for putting forward an argument in justification of a title. Or label me as "too lazy". Get a grip mate. I was merely explaining my actions. To use Ad Hominem is to resort to the lowest form of argument. I feel you are attacking me. --elliot_k 02:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * How MrM, could you make such an allegation as lazy? -Edbrown05 08:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Recent edit on Condi talk page
Hi MrM... I am very dissapointed by this edit, where you refuse to apologise to Elliot for a personal attack. Etiquette tells us that we should "Be prepared to apologize." This doesn't mean you should admit that you are wrong, it means that we are all part of a community, and communities function through politeness and small gestures of goodwill. An apology could show that you care about his feelings, without compromising your position in the discussion. I would be happy to discuss this with you further, so feel free to respond on my talk page. - Borofkin 03:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. The attacks on me are insulting and disrespectful. I am very angry about this. --elliot_k 04:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, Mrmiscellanious. It seems to me that if Elliot misunderstands some aspect of policy, the best approach would be to engage him in a discussion about that policy, rather than throwing up a brick wall. The thing about approaching a disagreement in an aggressive way is that the effect is often opposite to that which was intended. In other words, it causes people to "get their back up", and reinforce their position, even if they were originally unsure about it. A little bit of non-confrontational discussion and explanation can achieve a lot. - Borofkin 23:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Bush attempts to give reason for Iraq war
Please explain how an article consisting entirely of two quotes is an editorial. --vonbergm 21:49, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you have issues with the title, you can try and resolve these on the talk page. If you don't like long quotes, you can do the same. As none of your concerns justify your actions to remove the article from the main namespace, please revert your move of the article. --vonbergm 22:02, 21 March 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 Madmike133. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Madmike133~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)
