NHL: Detroit burns Calgary in first playoff matchup

April 12, 2007

''Red Wings lead series 1-0. (Best of Seven)''

Calgary never knew what hit them Thursday night, as the Detroit Red Wings, which came into the playoffs as the first seed in the West, cruised to victory. By 8:36 in the first period, the Red Wings had opened up a 2-0 lead on the Flames, with Valtteri Filppula and Nicklas Lidstrom scoring on Calgary netminder Miikka Kiprusoff, who was bombarded by shots the entire game. Dominik Hasek was spectacular in goal, as he has been so many times this season, stopping 19 of 20 shots faced. Calgary's only consolation came at 14:55 in the third, when Alex Tanguay scored a power play goal.

Despite the Red Wings victory, the Flames will have a chance to tie up the series, which is just getting started, when they will do battle again against Detroit on Sunday. Opening face off is scheduled for 1:00 EDT.

Three Stars of the Game

 * #1 = Nicklas Lidstrom, D, Detroit Red Wings - 1 Goal, 1 Assist
 * #2 = Pavel Datsyuk, C, Detroit Red Wings - 1 Goal, 1 Assist
 * #3 = Mathieu Schneider, D, Detroit Red Wings - 1 Goal, 1 Assist

Nintendo releases final version of Opera internet browser for Wii

April 13, 2007

Nintendo of America Inc. (Nintendo) announced on Thursday the release of a full version of the Wii gaming system's Internet Channel. Powered by a customized Opera Internet browser, the service will allow gamers with high-speed connections to surf the Internet on their television.

According to the Nintendo news release, the Channel's final version is available as a free download until June 30, after which it will cost 500 Wii Points, or approximately five US dollars. Once downloaded, the Internet Channel would be free for the lifetime of the system.

The Opera browser had been available in a beta format with limitations on the functionality. The final version boasts improvements such as a manual zoom, improved scrolling, as well as collapsible toolbars and multiple on-screen cursors. In addition, users are given the choice of presetting either Google or Yahoo! as a search engine to power the built-in search button.

Some enthusiasts have complained that using the Wii's controllers rather than a keyboard to enter text, can be awkward. "Opening the address bar does not open it with the current URL. That would have been nice." wrote Slashdot member LBt1st. "It would also be nice if it would make plain text URL's into links. Manual entry is hell without a keyboard."

Others lamented the lack of availability of the Wii system in stores and were concerned that the free download offer might expire before being able to obtain a system. "Great! Now all I need is a Wii! Still searching for one in Toronto," complained Slashdot member, CokeBear.

The full version of the Internet Channel, with the Opera browser, is available for download in North America only at this stage.

NHL: Rangers slip past Thrashers in Playoff opener

April 12, 2007

''Rangers lead series 1-0. (Best of Seven)''

The New York Rangers scored the first two goals and never looked back, defeating the Thrashers before 18,857 at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The game was the first in the best-of-seven series. Never since their inception into the NHL in 1997, have the Thrashers advanced to the playoffs until this season, and will have to wait for their first ever playoff victory. Despite a desperate last minute power play, Atlanta couldn't manage to beat Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who has shined this season. Lundqvist was solid again tonight, stopping 21 of 24 shots faced.

Pascal Dupuis of the Atlanta Thrashers was sent into the boards in the first period, and had to come off the ice for some time before returning to score the game's final goal. Kari Lehtonen, goaltender for the Thrashers entered the game with a 2.79 goals-against average. Lehtonen allowed four goals, while stopping 34 shots.

Three Stars of the Game

 * #1 = Jaromir Jagr, C, New York Rangers - 1 Goal, 1 Assist
 * #2 = Pascal Dupuis, LW, Atlanta Thrashers - 1 Goal, 1 Assist
 * #3 = Michael Nylander, C, New York Rangers - 1 Goal, 2 Assists

NHL: Buffalo overwhelms Islanders in Playoff opener

April 12, 2007

''Sabres lead series 1-0. (Best of Seven)''

Brian Campbell and Chris Drury scored two goals each, and the top-seeded Sabres opened the playoffs with an solid 4-1 victory over the New York Islanders before 18,690 at HSBC Arena, in Buffalo, New York. Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller was very efficient, allowing only one goal in 21 shots. The Islanders backup netminder Wade Dubielewicz filled in for starter Rick DiPietro, who has been bothered by injuries throughout the season.

The game was very defensive for the first half of the game, as both teams were only able to notch a goal a piece. Buffalo scored its first goal 9:30 into regulation, and the Islanders had to wait until 6:58 of the second period, when they evened it up. But the game was pretty much a full onslaught of domination by Buffalo as it dominated the shots category.

The Sabres scored the game-winner shortly after the midway point of the second period, and dealt another quick blow immediately after they returned to the ice for the third period. The Islanders, no doubt, have their problems to work with in terms of injuries, and the frustration could be felt as they drew a penalty late, which would ultimately seal the deal as Brian Campbell would score his second goal with only 3:25 remaining in regulation.

The Eastern Conference series continues at HSBC Arena in Buffalo on Saturday at 7:30 pm EDT, when the Sabres will try to take a 2-0 series lead on the Islanders.

Three Stars of the Game

 * #1 = Brian Campbell, D, Buffalo Sabres - 2 Goals, 1 Assist
 * #2 = Chris Drury, C, Buffalo Sabres - 2 Goals
 * #3 = Dainius Zubrus, RW, Buffalo Sabres - 3 Assists

UEFA Cup: quarter-final second leg roundup

April 12, 2007

The second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-final's occurred Thursday, with three Spanish teams looking to progress to the semi-finals. Osasuna was in the best position to advance after their 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg in Germany. Sevilla and Espanyol also held the upper hand going into their matches, as Sevilla defeated Tottenham 2-1 and Espanyol beat out Benfica 3-2 in the first legs. The final match was still completely up in the air after the 0-0 draw in the first leg between Werder Bremen and AZ Alkmaar.

Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 2 Sevilla
After loosing the first leg 2-1 in Spain, the second leg moved to White Hart Lane in London. Sevilla put the homeside on the backfoot early however, with a Steed Malbranque own-goal giving the visitors the lead. Some good play by former Tottenham striker Freddie Kanoute then doubled Sevilla's lead. Tottenham would score twice through Defoe and Lennon, but it would be too little too late as Sevilla progressed 4-3 on aggregate.

For a full recap of the match see: UEFA Cup: Tottenham out after 2-2 draw with Sevilla

Werder Bremen 4 - 1 AZ Alkmaar
After a scintillating 0-0 draw in the first leg, Dutch side AZ Alkmaar travelled to Germany to take on Bundesliga title hopefuls Werder Bremen. With Bremen having scored only one goal in their past three games, Alkmaar was in with a chance as a draw would see them advance. Bremen took control of the game quickly, however, and Tim Borowski put the home side up after sixteen minutes when he slipped in all alone and slid the ball past Boy Waterman. On 32 minutes, Alkmaar equalized through Moussa Dembele as his unstopable left footed shot flew past Tim Wiese. Five minutes later, Miroslav Klose restored Bremens lead as he tapped home Aaron Hunt's cross. The home side increased their lead after the break, and their top goal scorer Klose was again on the scoresheet. A well put in cross by Diego found Klose in the middle of the box, and his controlled diving head was powered past the helpless Waterman. Diego then secured the win for Bremen with some wonderful individual play. As Diego played a one-two, he spun away from the defender leaving him wide open for the receive pass, and he then proceeded to finish cleanly past Waterman.

Osasuna 1 - 0 Bayer Leverkusen
With the end result of the two legs never in doubt after the 3-0 drubbing of Bayer in the first leg, the second leg was play out at the Estadio Reyno de Navarra in Spain. Bayer needed to score early for any hope of advancing, and they pushed hard. A solid Osasuna defence and some great goalkeeping by Ricardo combined to shut Leverkusen out though. Osasuna eventually scored in the 62nd minute through Gomez Juanlu after keeper Rene Adler parried Roberto Solado's long range effort. Osasuna comfortably held on, and advanced to the semi-finals of the competition.

Benfica 0 - 0 Espanyol
Benfica and Espanyol battled to a 0-0 draw at the Estadio de Luz in Portugal. The Spanish side went into the match with a slight edge after winning the first leg 3-2, but the two away goals for Benfica gave them a good chance to progress. Benfica battled hard for the win, hitting the woodwork twice and missing several clean chances, but the eventual draw saw them knocked out of the competition.

Television New Zealand announces job losses; news worst hit

April 13, 2007

New Zealand's state-owned broadcaster, TVNZ (Television New Zealand) announced yesterday its proposed redundancy cuts that will see jobs go from various sectors, the most going from their news and current affairs sector.

At least 140 people will be told that they will be set to lose their job in the next six months, at least 50 of those are from the news sector.

Seven general reporting journalists will be leaving, which only leaves six left from the Auckland newsroom. Two sports reporting journalists will also be leaving from the Auckland newsroom, leaving six. Accredited parliament reporters also look to face redundancy cuts, as well as reporters from the Christchurch newsroom. As well as people losing their jobs, the Queenstown, Wanganui and Rotorua newsrooms will be closed, as well as the news reference library, and the current affairs show, Sunday looks set to close its Wellington office. Head of journalism at the University of Canterbury, Jim Tully says that the closing of the Queenstown newsroom is a big mistake. Current affairs show, Close Up will also lose two journalists and a Christchurch producer, but will gain a producer in Auckland. Fair Go, consumer affairs show, will lose three senior producers. Breakfast will lose a weather and sports presenter, and a producer.

The final decision of the exact numbers will be disclosed in the next few weeks, following consultation with the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union, which represents, altogether, 5,000 employees.

Some of the job losses include experienced journalists, and Bill Ralston, former head of news and current affairs for TVNZ, said that they will be replaced by cheaper, inexperienced journalists. "If you do that your audience will reduce even further . . . this move makes no commercial sense whatsoever," he said.

The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union has described the job losses as an attack on democracy, and have launched a campaign titled, 'Our Media' to bring these issues to light. The National Secretary, Andrew Little has said that an essential function of communities is good quality regional news reporting, which will be reduced because of the job cuts.

Steve Maharey, broadcasting minister, has refused to comment regarding TVNZ.

Mr Ralston has said that this move will destroy TVNZ's 30-year reputation being "...a good quality public broadcaster who gives you a news and current affairs service that you can believe and trust."

He also questioned why they were cutting the news sector heavily when there are other sectors that are unnecessary, such as human resources. "Last time I looked at TVNZ it had 25 people in its human resources division – TV3 has none." One TVNZ staff member has said that the job cuts were run by the human resources decision, and that they are very "anti-journalist".

TVNZ plan to launch a new continuous news channel next year on New Zealand's new digital platform, FreeView.

The New Zealand Herald is currently also looking at reducing staff numbers by outsourcing their sub-editors/copy editors.

Conclusion
In all circumstances, the bot performed its functions as expected, and without any problems.

The only functionality that remains untested on Wikinews is the ability to protect these categories older than a certain threshold (currently programmed as one month prior to today's date, but can easily be changed), which has been successfully tested on my test wiki, but was disabled when run here due to the lack of a sysop flag. If there is a consensus to protect the categories older than a certain threshold, and a consensus to allow this bot to do this, then this could be enabled, and, pending a second test to include this functionality, will be how this bot operates. Otherwise, the unprotection prior to run, and the reprotection after, would have to be done manually (unfortunately, it seems as though AWB does not support this).

New Jersey Governor hospitalized after car crash

April 13, 2007 The Governor of New Jersey Jon S. Corzine was hospitalized Thursday after the vehicle he was riding in crashed into a guardrail on Garden State Parkway. The Governor was on his way to a meeting between the Rutgers University basketball team and radio personality Don Imus.

Corzine was riding in the front passenger seat when a red pickup truck drifted onto the shoulder. As the truck corrected itself, a white pickup swerved to avoid it, hitting the motorcade SUV he was riding. Corzine suffered six broken ribs, a broken collarbone, broken sternum, fracture of his lower vertebrae, a broken leg, and a head gash. He is in stable condition following surgery at Cooper University Hospital, but will require more surgery to repair a broken femur that broke through the skin. The trooper driving the vehicle suffered minor injuries.

Senate President Richard Codey will serve as governor while Corzine is in the hospital. An aide to Corzine said he was not wearing a seat belt.

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

MLB: Travis Hafner wins it for Indians

April 13, 2007

The Cleveland Indians pulled off a stunning win late in the game at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Thursday, defeating the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Travis Hafner, in the bottom of the eighth, hit a three run homer to erase the one score lead of the Angels. Orlando Cabrera was the only angel for the Angels as he had three hits on four at bats with two runs scored.

Pitching for Cleveland was pretty solid as Jeremy Sowers pitched seven innings, with one run on six hits with 27 at bats, one error, and three strikeouts. No home runs were give up by any of the four pitchers(Jeremy Sowers, Roberto Hernandez, Aaron Fultz and Joe Borowski) for Cleveland.

The same couldn't be said for the Angels pitchers squad, though. Dustin Moseley started for the LA Angels pitching six innings, allowing one run on five hits with 24 at bats, one error, three strikeouts, and one home run given up. It was not Dustin Moseley who gave up the game winning three run homer, but Scot Shields, the relief pitcher who let the game slide.

Aaron Fultz was the winning pitcher for the game, his second win of the young season. Scot Shields was saddled with his first loss of the season. The save was credited to closer Joe Borowski.

The game was played in Milwaukee due to the snow storm in Cleveland the previous weekend.

Cleveland's next game will be a home game (this time in Cleveland) against the Chicago White Sox at 7:05 tonight, the first of a three game series. As the Angels well face the Boston Red Sox at 4:05 tonight, the first of a four game series.

Box score
W: Fultz (2-0) L: Shields (0-1) S: Borowski, 3

Football: Cristiano Ronaldo extends stay at United

April 13, 2007 Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new five-year deal with Manchester United. He will now stay in the club until at least 2012.

Spanish clubs FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have been showing interest in the Portuguese midfielder for months, and the deal is sure to quiet transfer rumours for the time being.

Sir Alex Ferguson said to Manchester United's website that it is fantastic news. He also said that Ronaldo has a good relationship with the club, the staff and the fans.

Ronaldo says that he is happy in club and he wants to win more trophies with them.

Christiano has scored twenty goals for United so far this season, and has added five for Portugal in Euro 2008 qualifiers. He is a candidate for the PFA and the Ballon d'Or (European Footballer of the Year), and is hoping to lead United to three trophies this season.

Wikinews:Video Wikinews/2.0/Yap/Archive 4

 * Is there any way that we could create a Wikinews channel on Youtube for the purpose of broadcasting Wikinews Video segments? Wikinews editors could subscribe to the channel.  Thunderhead  ►  22:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The account should be "Director" and in the "News" category.  Thunderhead  ►  22:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm on it! Also you may want to see the latest graphics stickeylabel has designed and I've animated.... they are looking really good! They're located at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Video_2.0/The_Wow_Starts_Now
 * The links only show script...no images or animation... DragonFire1024 03:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed! --Symode09 03:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Publicity? Promoting what exactly? We have an opening sequence if I am reading this right. And why is ther a direct link to YouTube at the top of my page? --SVTCobra 03:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Publicity...you never know...its not to say in the future we may not need that person. It is to youtube cuz thats where the video can be seen at. DragonFire1024 04:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Symode09 Great graphics!! I love them DragonFire1024 04:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It was actually stickeylabel who did all the work. I merely animated it --Symode09 06:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I know but, the video is available on the blog, thus we can have all the videos on the same page --Symode09 06:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * UWell they are :) But we need to advertise to as many people as possible...so wherever the videos are makes it that much more better that we will have viewers or contributers :) Some already signed up just because of tthis project :) DragonFire1024 06:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Huh? Please explain--Symode09 06:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * We need to advertise the fact that Wikinews is going video...so the more places that people can go to view the video (the 1 on YouTube) the better...If I could I would put the 2 on TV :) DragonFire1024 06:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ooooh, ok, I've gotcha! srry. Could you add a link to the blog? --Symode09 06:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Videos on Wikinews pages
Is it possible to apply to have a page set up on wikinews which we can embedd videos on from external sites (ie. soapbox or youtube)?--Symode09 06:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No... at least in the form of external links. We don't want to promote an outside source more than we have to and thats why we should upload to commons more often. But YES there is a way we can embed videos onto pages on Wikinews...just not sure how to do that. DragonFire1024 06:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I will create a video player for the site... then can we embedd it? --Symode09 11:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, embedding. It is possible as there is a code available but its not installed on foundation wikis yet.  Not sure if foudation have yet got a code for commons videos and if they have whether they plan on installing it.  Also the code that does exist is for youtube so i severly doubt this will ever be installed.  I will have a dig around though.--Mark Talk 11:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia has their own player...see the link at the top of the page where the Promo video is uploaded to commons. DragonFire1024 11:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes but this can currently only be embeded in an html page. To embed it in a wikipage they would need to from some new code. --Mark Talk 11:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah yes...hhhmmm...DragonFire1024 11:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * on wikia (wikicities) wikis you can embed youtube videos. You can not do that in wikimedia wikis (Flash is unfree or something). The java player is free (I belive) but you can't embed it (I think) because no one has worked on making it embedable (again I think that's the reason, I do not know). We should probably ask someone what the chances of that becoming embeddable are, as it'd be a great help I think. So for know its only links to the image page, a direct lnk (media:) or something like commons:template:video. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Note from a technical point of view, we could embed it with js, but thats a really bad idea for a number of reasons. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikinews:Poll: Allow an embedded Player?

This is a poll to vote on whether to allow an embedded video player on Wikinews, made especially for Wkinews by Symode09. Embedded videos will not be used for every article (or at least not in the near future) but, will be used as a way to publish video wikinews which is not almost in shooting. The format is popular, fast loading (the preview is on a sluggish server and, is stoll fast loading. The quality is low because I stretched the video. (vidoe owned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The security would not be a problem - It would be hosted within wikinews. A mock up of what it could possibly look like is located here.

If the video player is set up within wikinews (the mock up of what it could look like is set up and has no external sections. only a safe core and, then you simply need to upload the video... no linking etc like youtube. It would be extremely safe.

UPDATE If we allow an embeddable player, there willbe two made (to cater for the wider community), the video will play in a java and a flash flayer. Please reassess your vote. --Symode09 01:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I would like to point out that Brion said no, so a flash player is not happening regardless of this vote as far as I understand. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:12, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Support Votes

 * Support DragonFire1024 17:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Symode09 17:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Votes

 * Oppose Flash is evil (IMHO), would support for ogg theora (with the java thingy). Bawolff ☺☻ 17:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose I dislike both Flash and Java. Let people worry about their own method of playing it (or use the Java player). When I want to see a video I like to open up a video player that I like (such as VLC) rather then have a flash one that never works as well forced on me. --Cspurrier 20:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose this player. Although that's moot with Brion's comment. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose this player.  Thunderhead  ►  01:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose I would only support an open source format for an embedded video player. Stickeylabel 11:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Comment What video codec? Not all machines can support theora, and most un-free codecs have licensing restrictions..
 * This email I found as I was going through some lists seems to indicate flash isn't free. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Since when was flash more mainstreme then java? I wopuld like to also point out, java is a media player, not a format. Its still playing the ogg file. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * How many sites use flash? How many use java? Java permenantley need updates. --Symode09 17:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Flash is free in the same way, you can use a picture you drew in paint. Are png images unfree (png a format, flash a format, both Adobe)) --Symode09 17:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * PNG is created by the w3c I thought (the png standard). Flash from a technical point of view was created by Macromedia, and owned by adobe. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Point is we need a player...flash or not. DragonFire1024 17:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Flash is proprietary, it is not the same as paint which outputs a standard format. I can email a mac user a copy of a .bmp file, they'll have a selection of tools to open it with, likely none of them paint.  with a .swf file you are at the mercy of Adobe.  They define the standard and need not divulge it freely, all those author of Flash books that you see have likely paid for a copy of the specification and will have to pay again when it changes.  Open standards such as Ogg and Theora have a published standard (as well as usually a reference implementation).  This information is available freely, so anyone can build a player or encoder. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Intreasteing: ''Embed Media Bawolff ☺☻ 20:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Flash video will not be accepted on the site at this time given the current licensing and patent issues. (There is some lanning for conversion to Theora on upload if there isn't a legal issue there, and we are going to go ahead and finish integrating the Java player as well.) --brion 20:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the look of the first embeded video here. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm also interested in the audio player, that would be so much better than how we currently present audio reports. We could even have a latest headlines on the main page.  Thanks for linking to that Bawolff, looks really good and gets round the proprietary nature of Flash. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * There are actually some free flash editors which the public can use which, are not owned by Adobe. Also. we would have alternative downloadable versions. If you buy a program similar to Fireworks or Flash, you can use it's output in the way it was intended to be used as much as you want. Why does it have to be free? --Symode09 01:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)--
 * Well theres a geat many arguments for that. Before I start my rant i would like to mention that no one is opposeing it also being avalible on youtube in flash. Just the main official version should be free. Okay rant start time: Say you want to write a book. You want everyone to read it, learn from it, make additions to its betterment, etc, so you write it in english (which for this metaphor is a free format since that lang is pd). But your publisher makes a lock on the book, and only gives people the key you agree to never ever discuss the book, talk about the book, admit the books existence. Wouldn't that be conterproductive? (Okay, that's not a really that good a metaphor, but you get the point.). Bawolff ☺☻ 01:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well at least you have a sence of humour! Two big points I've thought of, firstly, Java is owned by Sun in the same way Flash is owned by adobe (I am willing to admit, licences may be different) Also, who says we can't have more then one format? Have both flash and java! Then most people are happy! --Symode09 01:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC) Oh, it is not free to distribute flash software however, the output, if free. --Symode09 01:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, the more formats the merrier. but I'm hesitant about allowing the official project to advertise its videos in flash, because of the slippery slope. Once it starts happening, then somebody forgets to make it in both formats, or the less popular one gets shoved to some back page that no one sees, etc. As far as flash and Java goes, theres a huge difference. According to the wikipedia article, your not allowed to look at the flash standard if you plan on developing free software which uses it, Java has free implementations that work, and is more liberally licensed (I think anyways. the last two statements were gathered from associated wikipedia articles). I've been trying to find some well written reason why non-free formats are bad, somewhere on the web, but haven't really found anything (closest is this but that doesn't say too much why). Bawolff ☺☻ 02:10, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If we give an undertaking that both of the formats will be given equal tratment, then would you mind? --Symode09 02:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I would prefer it the other way, but I wouldn't object. However I'm not the person in the end you have to convince, Brion said above no, and he has the ultimate say (well technically the board does, but I believe he's just stating the boards position.). Bawolff ☺☻ 02:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Is Brion on the board? Has the board gave a position on this? Last I checked no. I support a java player and would prefer it is the material is already available...but point is we should have one, and if its run by MediaWiki or whatever, then security is not an issue...so exactly why would a player not be allowed? Simply "flash is evil" or whatever is not a valid argument IMO. DragonFire1024 04:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * [this is refering to the flash player, not the java one. Note I got confused ealier on what we were talking about, so if this comment doesn't make sense, that's why] no, but he is the cto, and I assume he wouldn't say no unless the board said no, or there was technical reasons not to do it. Since there are no technical reasons (that I'm aware of. Especially considering this is happening in wikia), I would assume it was the board. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well for one, then the board can tell us...if they have an issue with what we are trying to do they can tell us. One...this is ridiculous that its not allowed when its already there and in place. So far no one has yet to give a logical reason as to why not...The material is there and so is the player...what else would need to be done? Why have it if no one or any Wiki does not use it...ridiculous. DragonFire1024 04:29, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Trying to second-guess Brion and the Board I would say the reason Flash is unacceptable is .swf. This isn't a supported format on Commons, and because they can't share copies of the format specification it is extremely unlikely to end up supported.  So, that'd leave you having to host elsewhere, and external content must be marked as such, not embedded.
 * The license on Java is GPL, anyone can distribute copies of the specification or write their own implementation. The formats supported on commons are similarly licensed.
 * Hopefully you can see where I'm going with this, in a hundred years time you might can get your hands on some books on Flash that tell you how to create .swf files using whatever tool won't run on current hardware. You're also not going to get hold of a player that is usable, and are there good odds of you getting hold of the program specifications which Adobe will never have released?
 * With the open formats, you have all the information you need. You could re-implement the Java player or, using whatever the current favourite language of the time, implement codecs for ogg and theora.
 * I hope this clarifies the idealistic position the Foundation takes. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:21, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Lets stop worrying about this now
This is really of secondary importance. we have the java player on the toolserver, the content will be cc-by, so they can also go on other sites as well (officialy or non-officialy is a discussion we can have later), seeing as we don't actually __have__ content as of yet, perhaps we should concentrate on that first. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Most agreeable...before we have content, we need an opening scene/theme and a pilot...and so far we don't even have part of an opening theme or a pilot. DragonFire1024 04:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell your project has enough technical know-how to deal with this, stick to the pieces here or let me know what other song you'd like stuff from and I'll give you an edit (give me an approximate length you need). I can also help you set up your own private web space on the same server as I'm one of the administrators there.  You'd need to use FileZilla to upload, but it is probably easier than using YouTube once you've got it installed.  You'll need to stick to a widely playable format, .AVI? .MPEG?, whichever is smaller.
 * My reasoning for keeping this private is that there is less chance of upsetting anyone as the circulation of the beta material is in a restricted circle of people.
 * Incidentally, I'm expecting a DVD of music from one of the band members, mainly of his own stuff - which makes getting licensing done easier. He's made money (not a living) off some of his music, and a DVD holds a lot.  So, this may give other options for use on a trailer.
 * In the meantime, you could work on opening/closing credits using the edits I've done.

 * Now, there 'are' uses we could put the embedded player to right now. First off is audio wikinews.  Second, articles where instead of using a quote template as decoration we could have an excerpt from CPAN.  That would differentiate us from many other news sources that don't do video.  If we can compile a list of sources where appropriately licensed video such as parliamentary sessions may be obtained this gives another avenue for doing original reporting. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Brianmc's idea. That sounds like a great idea actually. DragonFire1024 11:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

On Flash and free formats
The board has always been very clear about the requirement that our materials be accessible with free software. Proprietary-only formats and formats which cannot be worked with legally without a patent license have always been explicitly forbidden.

If you would prefer to ask the board to restate that instead of taking the CTO's word for it, feel free.

There are free software, non-Sun implementations of Java which can run the Cortado applet (itself open source); Sun is also in the process of open sourcing their own Java implementation. The patents covering the Theora codec were opened when it was made free (from its predecessor codec VP3), so Theora sidesteps the patent issues in MPEG-4, H.263, etc.

Hence the preference for Theora with a Java player.

As far as I know, the Flash player only supports patent-encumbered video formats at this time (eg H.263). If someone can point out otherwise, and if free software alternatives (eg the GNASH free software Flash player plugin) as well as Adobe's proprietary Flash plugin can play it, then that would be good to know about. :) --brion 13:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * On the basis that we have already content that would benefit from an embedded player, what is involved in getting the sample Java one posted earlier on this page on here? --Brian McNeil / talk 14:05, 16 April 2007 (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 Themanwhocanfly. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Themanwhocanfly~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.

Liberal Party of Canada makes deal with Green Party leader

April 13, 2007

After Green Party leader Elizabeth May announced her plans for running against Conservative MP Peter MacKay in his riding of Central Nova in the next federal election, the Liberal Party of Canada have decided to not have a candidate in the riding. In return, the Greens have agreed not run a candidate against Liberal leader Stéphane Dion in his riding of Saint-Laurent—Cartierville in Quebec.

Both Stéphane Dion and Elizabeth May held a joint news conference today in Central Nova to talk about their plans.

The riding has a long history of Conservative MPs which finds it a tough race to fight for May with the Liberals backing her.

The decision earned some criticism from NDP leader Jack Layton. "It's incredible that this matter of such importance is being decided by two leaders in secret," Layton told reporters. "That's not what democracy is about. It is the citizens that ought to make choices about who is going to be representing them..."I'm surprised to see Ms. May support the member of Parliament [Stéphane Dion] who was at the Liberal cabinet table during the decade that greenhouse gases went up by more than 30 per cent."

Stéphane Dion held the Minister of Environment portfolio under former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin. At the end of his Liberal leadership campaign he changed his campaign colour to green to represent his interest for environmental issues in Canada. May is an environmentalist and is largely noted as founder of the Sierra Club of Canada.

The Green Party of Canada has run a full slate of candidates in the last two elections, but has yet to win a seat in Parliament. If May wins the riding in the next federal election, she would be the first one ever.

wow. Bawolff ☺☻ 18:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I saw someone had suggested May change the name of her party to the Red-Greens! lol Jcart1534 22:31, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * nah, that would promote cutting down trees for Christmas. Bawolff ☺☻

This weakens the image of the liberal leader at a bad time. I think he is getting bad advice.
 * Not that much in my opinion. I think everyones going to forget about it soon enough. Its not likely that liberals would of won that riding anyways. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Google buys DoubleClick for $3.1 billion

April 13, 2007

Google has announced its intention of taking over the Internet advertising agency DoubleClick in a deal worth $3.1 billion. DoubleClick has also confirmed the deal and hopes it will be completed before the end of 2007.

Rumours of a takeover offer for DoubleClick had been circulating, with Microsoft, Time Warner and Yahoo! all reportedly interested in making an offer for the company.

Six months ago, Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion. The current takeover is the largest in Google's history. In a press release, Google says the acquisition "will enable Google to extend our ad network and develop deeper relationships with our partners. This new partnership represents a tremendous opportunity for us at Google to broaden and deepen our inventory of available ads and to better serve both our publishers and users."

DoubleClick provides software for Internet advertising and brings together advertisers, advertisement agencies and website developers. DoubleClick is currently owned by the majority share-holders Hellman & Friedman, a private equity firm, with JMI Management also having a large stake in the company.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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