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 Facebuddies. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Facebuddies~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 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

New Zealand National Party only wants immigrants of "bedrock values"

July 28, 2006

The leader,, says that they only want immigrants who accept the "bedrock values" of New Zealand society. Brash said to the Association for Migration and Investment: "New Zealand should not welcome those who want to live here but reject core aspects of the country's culture."

Dr. Brash says that the following are the "bedrock values":
 * Acceptance of democracy,
 * The rule of law,
 * Religious and personal freedom,
 * Legal equality of the sexes,
 * Speak English, or learn it quickly.

"If you don't accept these fundamentals then New Zealand isn't the place for you. Many migrants to New Zealand in recent times have come from cultures that do not share the same 'bedrock values'," said Brash.

, Immigration Minister, said: "The National Party leader's comments are pejorative and insulting."

Landis' fate to be announced Monday

July 28, 2006

On Monday, the result of a counter-analysis of Floyd Landis' B-sample, as requested by the Americans, will be announced.

Landis, who came in first on this year’s Tour de France, has previously tested positive for an abnormally high testosterone balance in his blood stream. This led to claims that he was involved with doping, in order to improve performance.

According to Patrick Lefévère, the president of the Association of professional cycling teams, "Our sport's survival is at stake"..."We can no longer afford to have teams or riders who just won't learn still starting races."

Landis continues to deny any wrongdoing.

"I want the result to be made public immediately, I see no reason why not," Landis said. "I'm proud that I won the Tour because I was the strongest guy there"

Nutter article
I've made a start on converting the reference links over to meet what our style guide prefers. Sorry if the tagging came across as a little hostile, it was the refs that made me tag rather than fix (i.e. work - and I'm lazy). I think you got all the grammar/typo stuff (which we all do), I'll see if I can finish off the ref conversion and publish. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:13, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Just here to say the same thing. If you are requesting this deletion, please do so while logged in. --SVTCobra 21:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Original reporting
hope you don't mind a talk page reply. the Wikinews guidelines on OR are here. you can describe what OR you did - "went there, saw this, interviewed so-and-so, person said such" ...etc on the talk page. e-mail correspondence can also be posted. private information can be e-mailed to a trusted user (an accredited user, administrator or other reliable, experienced user), and of course should not be posted on the publicly visible talk page. the point of doing all this is to lend credence to the article and document actions for verification or follow-up. checking out the notes on other original reports may also give you an idea of what is expected. hope this answers your doubts, feel free to ask me or at the water cooler for any further clarifications. hoep to see more such contributions from you. best, –Doldrums(talk) 15:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * also, if you are in anyway associated with people or organisations being reported on, you need to disclose the same on the article talk page at the very least, and make an extra effort to ensure the reporting is wn:npov (describing such an effort is also a good idea) and try to involve other editors in writing the article. it there is a reasonable grounds to believe that there is a conflict of interest between a contributor's  affiliations and her reporting, she can request an interview instead. –Doldrums(talk) 15:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Philadelphia to become largest city in U.S. without Boy Scout building
I noticed you added new content to the article, Philadelphia to become largest city in U.S. without Boy Scout building, 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 an 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. Remember, new developments that Wikinews did not report on when the story was ongoing and recent should not be added.

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. —FellowWiki Newsie 20:37, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

X performs at the TLA in Philadelphia
Evrik, the article looks good. I assume that it contains a good deal of original reporting, so please add some notes at Talk:X performs at the TLA in Philadelphia. Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The first sentence of the fourth paragraph reads: "No material from their last two studio albums was played, with some citing the strong preferences of guitarist Billy Zoom for the earlier work." Who are the "some" referred to? It should be explicitly stated. Cheers, --SVTCobra 22:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * For an article such as this the notes can be pretty simple. You can see my notes at Ben Folds performs .... If you included quotes or statements from other people, you should have detailed notes on who they are etc. For this you can see WN:OR. Don't forget to clarify the Zoom preference claim cited above. Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Category:X (American band)
Are there any other articles which this could be added to? The requirement to justify a category's existence is usually three published articles which can be placed in it. Heavy Water (talk) 21:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of writing another ... but today, no. Evrik (talk) 23:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Kisaac/New Middle East - At Harmony

July 28, 2006 editorial Next to the recent military and cultural attacks on this nation you will find a lot of people are in state of good predominant mood to present all types of visionary, cloudy and screened spins regards this “ancient-new war” crisis in the Middle East. I cannot help it but to say out loud that these spins are toxic, and these people - which in whom this nation’s people put their trust- ought to be acknowledging the Historical facts of this nation and should present them to the World with pure of any political twists and rise them up away from any certain party’s shallow spins models or irrational analysis.

In lieu of this new battlefield in Lebanon there are no more needs to give this crisis another spin, the word has gone out of all closed rusty doors that all the "Redlines" are gone and wiped off. Which gives us the green light to go ahead and dig deep into the ground, open the deep ancient wells of knowledge and wisdom shake the thick coats of dust off all our ancestor's history books for in these books ones who is welling to learn is going to find the true facts and all of the major factors that led to this present ancient-new equation.

Briefly, true peace and democracy are essential requirements for any strong harmony foundation, as these two were for the past many thousands of years a must have, today still are for this new uncommon era. Therefore, how can this "New Middle East" theory be well-founded, if in fact the core of this proposed US foundation still widely unfair to its people?! And, the proposed pillars to this theory are already saggy.

One’s brain cannot help it but to go wander - What consider to be a true motivation to these active anti-occupation parties (Hezbollah Army in this case) to announce it will lay down its arms and press forward with devolution - the political process of obtaining local governing rights within Lebanon. In all literal sense this is one solid goal but is neither a strong enough motivation nor a final projected goal and will never be one.

The theory’s original true goals are not yet crystal clear. However, taking the knowledge everyone has it does represents a clear confirmation that shows the rejection to true deep understanding to this nation’s long ancient history, valuable contributions to human race, ignoring the pyramids of its current challenges and its future wants and needs.

This fake Harmony or the "New Middle East" will never succeed;

1. Not while regional power still unbalanced and wobbling on the top of the US owned needle head.

2. When still having an occupation ruling authority, using a very advanced military striking power with fists, showing no mercy, strongly opposing to all the natural rights of human beings and having the international community watching, scrutinizing its media materials trying to keep it at the low volume so they will not be hold accountable for not jumping the guns, head down the battlefields and prevent this new unmoral tragedy from happening.

3. Religion – has been and still is a master factor and very powerful one cannot be missed - We should not and could not overlook the fact that all sides will give up all their well-beings (if they must) to officially prove that their Holy Book to be the righteous one and their ancestor's ancient secrets of territorial goals are still a live and someday must take place. What some are saying is very true it is a war of survival and all about "life or death" never was or is going to be about kidnapping Israelis.

4. Knowing of the argument that God gave the "Promised Land" to the Jews, its borders are extending from the Nile to the Euphrates - so how could peace not war reveal while still having more than one country or religion with ancient long term goals of expanding in the region and gradually have been trying to bring them out to live. "On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates —".

Frankly, this one long term goal is neither new secret nor is new knowledge to us. Sadly, even though our nation -out of all other stranger new nations – is the inheritors of the scrolls of our ancestor’s ancient knowledge and wisdom, yet still keeping them hidden away in the bottom of deep ancient wells...

5. Having one single standard line of support from the US and most of the present international community providing only Israel with unlimited support - preserver its life in the form of a buoyant vest. And yet have this middle eastern nation buff their shoes for as long as time permits. To be open minded it means we should get out of the box and look from the outside in - At harmony or living in a state of agreement will never be accomplish. Unless, all involved parties build a strong foundation of true common understanding and official international respected agreements to reinforce the basis of fair scales to this nation’s cultural aspects, customs, beliefs and all their wants and needs.

No Harmony - will be accomplished until the modern world come to a literal realization to the importance of all the ramifications of all the middle east crises and its premier challenges which can be summarized in one small tiny frame (This nation of the present proposed “New Middle East” theory can not and will not allow itself to even visualize any outside invading authority to force their ways of living or thinking, let alone to have them determine their future years) – It has been many years since this nation began again its trails to reach self-reliance - granted with major accomplishments and credits and is not willing ready to bring its present civilizations back to a “Zero Point” again with out committing suicide take everyone else with it on its way back.

To conclude, I must say – someday, those deep secrets and original facts to this crisis are going to be forced to float up to the reality surface. Besides, as long as everyone keeps insisting, believing that his book is the only sacred one and his ancestor's ancient secrets of territorial goals are the Divine Map for a guided earthly life; our human race generations will continue to suffer from wide range of paroxysmal attacks, most likely will be enduring heavy loses and afflictions over and over again. So, away from any spins I can say this, in our heavenly Father we must trust - whose with his Holy true light we will be guided and not go astray.

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

Ancient prayer book found in Irish bog

July 28, 2006

An early medieval Christian Psalter (prayer book) was discovered in a bog in the Midland Region of Ireland on July 25, 2006, prompting some to term it the Irish version of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The psalter was found by a worker excavating peat from the bog. The worker immediately covered the book with damp soil, as exposure to dry air after so many centuries of dampness might have destroyed it. He was praised by Dr. Patrick Wallace, director of the National Museum of Ireland, for doing that. The book was found open to the page of Psalm 83.

The Psalter is currently kept under refrigeration at the National Museum while researchers determine how to open the book without damaging the book's pages and possibly destroying it.

Music reality show 'The One' cancelled by ABC a week after its debut

July 28, 2006

Canada: The One: Making a Music Star was cancelled today, just over a week after its debut. Overall it aired only four episodes.

ABC's (American Broadcasting Company) show site for The One says, “There are no plans for additional episodes. Thanks to all who participated in and supported The One!”

According to an interview with the host over the phone from Hollywood on CFRB 1010 Toronto; George Stroumboulopoulos said that "he was not surprised because he thought maybe that the show's message didn't come across making viewers not understanding the show." "He also said that he is happy that he is still hosting CBC News: The Hour." Stroumboulopoulos has said, however, that he was only taking The One as a "summer job," and does not plan to stop hosting The Hour.

CBC is now considering a Canadian version of the show.

"It's too early to tell," said Kirstine Layfield, CBC's executive director of network programming. "We're not under any pressure to make immediate decisions."

Layfield said a decision would be made in a few weeks.

If CBC goes ahead, it would launch its own Canadian version of the show this fall.

"The Canadian version of The One is still in early development," Layfield said, adding that the CBC has learned from the American version. "We'll use that when we take a look at what we're going to be doing with the Canadian version."

The One only got 236,000 Canadians viewers for its debut episode, and pulled in 938,000 total viewers. It drew 3.2 million U.S. viewers and finished fifth in its time slot. According to Nielsen Media Research, 150,000 Canadians tuned in Tuesday nights show.

This is the first and, so far the only version of the Operación Triunfo / Star Academy format to not be completed before the end of the series. Since ABC and Endemol were running a contest with a prize of a recording contract someone will eventually be declared "the One." Just how a winner will be declared is still being discussed.

User:Banalheart

About Me
I'm just an average guy interested in news media. This is my first attempt to use Wiki as a medium to publish news print, so I look at it as a learning experience in using the internet to disseminate information.

Experience
I was an MOS 4341, Combat Corespondent, in the United States Marine Corps assigned to DIVPA MCRD Parris Island where I wrote news print for release over AFN radio and articles for Marine Corps News before my medical discharge at the rank of Lance Corporal. Currently I am a student at the University of South Alabama majoring in Communications continuing what i learned at DINFOS and working towards my BA in Communications.

Goals
My ultimate goal is to hone my writing skills as they pertain to news print in hopes of landing a plush writing job at some big city paper. Knowing that this probably won't happen, I hope that by covering events as a first-hand journalist I can use my original reporting to at least get a passing grade in my classes at school.

Blog about Liverpool city council causes stir

July 28, 2006

A Blog entitled Liverpool Evil Cabal and supposedly written by insiders of the Liverpool City Council, going by the nom de guerre 'Tony Parrish', is causing a stir in the English city of Liverpool.

The Blog is apparently blocked by the council to prevent staff from reading it during office hours. The council has also extended the block to its public access terminals in places such as libraries, affecting the Internet access of residents of Liverpool.

Liverpool City Council has often been described as a Bear pit for its volatile nature and has been anxious to throw off the image generated in the early 1980s by Militant Tendency and Derek Hatton.

Gunman kills one, injures five in Seattle Jewish Federation

July 29, 2006

The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building in Seattle, Washington was the site of a shooting on at around 4 pm on July 28. A gunman who walked into the building shot one person dead and wounded five others.

According to witnesses the man walked up to the building and shot a woman in the leg. He entered the building to go onto the roof and fire one shot before walking back inside and firing several more shots.

Most employees were able to escape through the backdoor.

After a few minutes the gunman surrendered to police through 911.

According to Amy Wasser-Simpson, the federation's vice president, the man shouted, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," before shooting.

An employee who wished not to be identified spoke of the shots fired, “It went 'Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!' and then we heard a woman scream.”

“One of the receptionists told me that he shot her and then demanded that she call 911.”

“I saw one friend –– she had been shot twice in the stomach and was bleeding,”

All of the victims were women between 19 and 43. One of the wounded was 20 weeks pregnant.

"They have sustained wounds to the knee, groin, abdomen and arm. Three of the five have been taken to the operating room," said Pamela Steele, spokeswoman for the Harbourview Medical Center.

The FBI will be working with local authorities on the case.

The building has tight security. It was surrounded by a fence, it has bullet proof windows and all visitors must be buzzed in by reception.

Campaigning ends in landmark Congo elections

July 29, 2006 The month long election campaign in the run up to this weekend's elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo has ended, with a one day break before voting can begin Sunday.

The fiercely fought campaign began on June 29th and involved no less than 9,707 parliamentary candidates and 33 presidential candidates. Canvassing ended yesterday with a mass rally in support of the current president.

Kabila, who became the youngest head of state in Africa in 2001, used his final speech before voting to claim credit for taking the D.R. Congo to its first democratic elections in over 40 years. "I can say to you without false modesty: mission accomplished" he told crowds of around 50,000 on Friday, "We've reunited and pacified the country. It is also a message of hope, and for peace and development and security after the polls."

The international community is taking a keen interest in the elections — the first since 1961. However, the July campaign has been marred by violence and accusations of fraud on all sides.

International observers, such as the, expressed concern that the incumbent President's domination of the media would undermine the campaign. Several hundred people protested at alleged irregularities in the polls on the 18th of July, which ended in 7 people being killed in police clashes. One candidate has also fled to Uganda after violence.

This Thursday, 6 people were killed in election related incidents in the capital,, and yesterday, Kabila's presidential guards killed an opposition candidate's bodyguard in a gunfight.

The U.N. has deployed its largest ever peacekeeping force — 17,000 — to monitor the elections, costing over $460 million. Despite troubles, the deputy U.N. representative in the country, Ross Mountain, said the Democratic Republic is ready for tomorrow's polls.

50,000 polling stations have been set up around the country, for the 25.6 million voters, with over 60,000 Congolese police and 1,700 international observers in place to monitor voting.

All Blacks retain Bledisloe Cup

July 29, 2006

The New Zealand All Blacks have defeated the Australian Wallabies for the second time this year and have retained the Bledisloe Cup, winning 13-9. The win extends New Zealand lead on Tri Nations table, now seven points ahead of Australia, with the All Blacks on 13 and the Wallabies on 6. South Africa are on zero. The match was played at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium and was time the All Blacks had played there, in ten years.

Australia had the early lead, scoring a penalty goal first up through Stirling Mortlock. The All Blacks struck back quickly though, with winger, Joe Rokocoko scoring the only try of the match, beating several defenders on his way to the line. Daniel Carter added the conversion, to give the All Blacks an 7 - 3 lead. Carter and Mortlock each added a penalty before half-time, leaving the score 10 - 6 at the interval.

The second half was very close, as was the first, with only 6 points being scored. A Daniel Carter dropped goal gave New Zealand breathing space, with Stirling Mortlock replying with a penalty. The final 10 minutes of the match saw Australia attempt to break the All Blacks defence, but failing to.

Earlier in the week Australian coach, John Connolly, stated that the new All Blacks haka Kapa O Pango should be banned, causing much controversy, citing that the throat slitting gesture at the end is a bad example.

Australia take on South Africa next week at Sydney's Telstra Stadium. Australia picked up a bonus point from the match from losing within 7 points.

Yes but the US has not recognized Cuba since the 1960s so I suspect that it does not recognize the convention as applying in the instance of material produced by the Cuban state.

 * The first three paragraphs are heavily plagarised from the "Dawn" article, with only a few words changed here and there. The last paragraph is nearly verbatim lifted from the "Tribune", with only ""exploitative" Musharraf regime" substitued with "government". The stuff in the middle is basically just a listing of localities so that part is less problematic.

Australian PM mobbed by anti-Israel protesters

July 30, 2006

Australian Prime Minister John Howard was mobbed by protesters in Perth, Western Australia on Saturday, angry at the stance he has taken on the recent conflicts in the Middle East.

Leaving a Liberal party conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the West Australian capital, Howard was mobbed by 200 protestors angry at his support for Israel and the Australian government's lack of action.

Protestors kicked, punched and threw projectiles at the Prime Minister's vehicle as police struggled to keep the angry mob under control. One protestor managed to break off the Australian flag attached to the front of Mr Howard's vehicle.

Protestors, demanding a cease fire in the Middle East, chanted "we want peace" and handed out flyers proclaiming "Cluster bombs are used by Israel to burn our families in Lebanon. Is this fair?"

Police were taken by surprise at the speed by which the protest escalated into violence. "We were surprised by the approach. It was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration," one officer said. "It had been peaceful up to that point."

Police arrested two men and charged them with disorderly conduct.

Prior to the protest, Mr Howard told his party conference that two things must happen before peace can be realised in the middle east:

"The first is that there must be conditional acceptance throughout the entire Arab world, without exception, of Israel's right to exist in peace and stability behind secure and internationally recognised boundaries."

"The entire Arab world, including Hezbollah, Iran and Syria, must give up forever the idea that the Israelis can be driven from their land."

"The second condition is that there has to be a equally unconditional acceptance, including on behalf of the Israelis, of the need and the justice of an independent Palestinian state."

"There has to be a two-state solution."

Gay teens assaulted and fined by police in Romania

July 30, 2006

Two gay teens were fined and assaulted by police on 27 July at around 23:30 after cuddling, holding hands and kissing in a public park in Bucharest, Romania. According to their report, the two were subject to humiliation and physical assault by the officers and park guardians, who had approached them on the pretext of checking their identification cards. After beating up the two, one of the officers allegedly said that, "I should tie you up with chains and fuck you until you are cured of your sickness". The two teens were each fined 500 lei (approximately €140 or USD179) for "disturbing the public peace", the other alternative being a criminal record for the same offence. They consider this charge to be ungrounded and an act of discrimination against sexual orientation, considering that a heterosexual couple were not prosecuted for engaging in similar acts a few metres away. One of the teens stated that:

 * I will never forget the hypocrisy with which they said they only wanted to see our ID’s, that they were only doing their job, when at 10 metres distance, a girl and a boy were having sex in the bushes.

Additionally, the police officers threatened the teens that they would beat them again, with "no witnesses", when they were off duty.

Homosexuality, including public manifestations of it, was decriminalised in Romania in 2001, when Article 200 of the Penal Code was fully repealed. Since 2000, the country has an anti-discrimination law which explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. However, despite this, social attitudes remain conservative and discrimination remains widespread and rarely reported and investigated, with the 2006 Bucharest GayFest, held in early June, provoking a violent reaction from many passers-by, even if it took place successfully due to heavy police protection. Gay rights organisations have also complained that when the anti-discrimination law is applied, fines are too low (the average fine for an employer discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation is about 300 lei, or less than €100 or $128).

ICRC: 28 bodies, 19 children, pulled from rubble after Israeli airstrike, Qana

July 30, 2006

In the deadliest single incident in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict, an Israeli air strike apparently demolished a three-story building in the village of Qana in southern Lebanon, and according to the Red Cross, killed at least 28 displaced civilians, including 19 children, most of whom handicapped or mentally ill, who were sheltering there. The Lebanese police reported at least 56 fatalities, including 37 children.

One rescue worker said "The victims all seem to be civilians, women and children". Abu Shadi Jradi, a civil defence official, said the bodies of at least 27 children were found in the rubble. A few wounded men had been evacuated to ambulances in the aftermath, as seen on CNN and FoxNews footage.

Villager Mohammed Ismail said "We want this to stop. May God have mercy on the children. They came here to escape the fighting. They are hitting children to bring the fighters to their knees."

Jim Muir, a BBC correspondent, said "The three storey building where families have been sheltering in the basement was crushed sideways into an enormous crater by the Israeli bomb strike". He added "Elsewhere in Qana and along the road up from Tyre, many buildings had been similarly crushed."

About nine out of ten residents are estimated to have left Qana, which has been heavily bombarded by Israeli forces in the current conflict. Those without cars, petrol and other means to leave are left behind. According to Jim Muir who had travelled to Qana along the road from Tyre, the route had been pitted with bomb craters.

Later, Israel agreed to a 48-hour halt in military activities while it investigated the bombing of Qana, while claiming there had been no direct attack on the building at the time of collapse. However, the Israeli military said it would launch counterattacks in Lebanon if Hezbollah fired more rockets at Israel in the 48-hour period.

Lebanese reactions
Anger spread across Lebanon and the Arab world, several thousand Shiite Muslim protesters gathered in front of the United Nations headquarters in Beirut and some smashed their way into the building. The protesters chanted "Death to Israel, Death to America".

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora called it Israel's "heinous crimes against civilians", and called off a scheduled meeting with US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice saying "There is no place on this sad morning for any discussion other than an immediate and unconditional ceasefire as well as an international investigation into the Israeli massacres in Lebanon now."

The Lebanese Defence Minister Elias Murr commented on the Israeli statement on the Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV station, "What do you expect Israel to say? Will it say that it killed 40 children and women?"

Israeli reactions
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert expressed "deep regret" for the air strike, but said Israel would not declare a cease-fire until it had reached the targets it had set at the beginning of the war. Olmert, responding to harsh international criticism on the strike, said that Hezbollah had used Qana as a base for launching hundreds of rockets at Israel.

A senior air force commander said Israel had dropped a bomb on the building in Qana on the assumption it was sheltering Hezbollah crews and was unaware civilians were there. The commander said "Had we known there were that many civilians inside, especially woman and children, we certainly would not have attacked it".

According to the Israeli military, the building collapsed eight hours after the attack. Brigadier General Amir Eshel, Head of the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the Defence Ministry in Tel Aviv "the attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between midnight and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the collapse of the building and the time of the strike on it is unclear".

Eshel and the head of the IDF's Operational Branch, Major General Gadi Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at around 8:00 in the morning.

The Israeli military believes that Hezbollah explosives in the building were behind the explosion that caused the collapse: "It's possible that inside the house, something or other was being stored that caused an explosion - something that we didn't succeed in blowing up in the attack and that perhaps was left over there," Brigadier General Eshel said. "I say this very cautiously, because I currently don't have the faintest idea what the explanation for this gap could be."

Eshel added that Hezbullah rocket launchers were hidden in civilian buildings in the village. He proceeded to show video footage of rocket launchers being driven into the village following launches.

Qana villagers refute IDF claims building fell hours after strike
Witnesses at the scene said that the strikes on the building was carried out around 1:00 A.M. After the first strike, some of the building's residents run out to survey the damage. A few minutes later, IAF planes struck the building once again, causing the walls to collapse on the residents who still remained inside, killing most of them them in the process. The building was located in the Hariva neighborhood of Qana.

Arab world reactions
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said "I think Israeli officials and some American ones should be tried for these sorts of crimes".

Hezbolla leader Hassan Nasrallah said "We will now rig up the fire and retalliate with a venegance. We will send rockets and death to the Zionist enemy, who will pay for this crime. We will hit the US and Britain for supporting this massacre".

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said "The massacre committed by Israel in Qana this morning shows the barbarity of this aggressive entity. It constitutes state terrorism committed in front of the eyes and ears of the world,"

The Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said "The Arab Republic of Egypt is highly disturbed and condemns the irresponsible Israeli attack on the Lebanese village of Qana, which led to the loss of innocent victims, most of which were women and children," a statement from the presidency said.

King Abdullah of Jordan said: "This criminal aggression is an ugly crime that has been committed by the Israeli forces in the city of Qana that is a gross violation of all international statutes."

Reactions from around the World
The French president Jacques Chirac, released a statement "The president learnt with concern about the act of violence which cost the lives of numerous innocent victims, notably women and children in Qana." "France condemns this unjustified action, which demonstrates more than ever the need for an immediate ceasefire without which there will only be other such incidents."

United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair has said the "tragedy" in Qana shows the situation in the Middle East "simply cannot continue". Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, Margaret Beckett, called the strikes "absolutely dreadful" and "quite appalling". She said "We have repeatedly urged Israel to act proportionately,"

Pope Benedict said "In the name of God, I call on all those responsible for this spiral of violence so that weapons are immediately laid down on all sides."

Potent symbol
Qana became a potent symbol of Lebanese civilian deaths by Israeli military bombings after an earlier incident in April 1996, when Israeli shelling killed more than 100 civilians sheltering at the base of U.N. peacekeepers in the village during Israel's "Grapes of Wrath" campaign.

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 Wikipedia, 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 10:12, 30 July 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 Romanoo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Romanoo~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 23:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
