Talk:Bomb kills soldier in Afghanistan

Title?
Not sure on the Wikinews titling policy, but wouldn't "Soldier is killed" be a better page name than "Soldier gets killed"? -- w:User:tjstrf 22:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The title is awful, this could be an event that's happening every day. We can't re-use titles so some thought needs to go into making them unique.  Forget including is to improve the grammar, this needs a Glamour assault. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Brazilian passenger jet wreck found in Amazon jungle

September 30, 2006 A Brazilian passenger jet operated by budget airline Gol Transportes Aéreos that was reported missing whilst on route to Rio de Janeiro via Brasilia from Manaus has been located by the Brazilian Air Force. The wreckage of the Boeing 737, Flight 1907, which was carrying 149 passengers and 6 crew was spotted in the rural state of Mato Grosso in the Amazon rainforest. There are no survivors.

At least 20 of the passengers of the flight were employees of Yamaha Corp.

José Carlos Pereira, president of the Brazilian airport authority (Infraero) told journalists, "It would be very difficult for anyone to survive such a crash. Our experience shows that when one cannot find the fuselage relatively intact and when the wreckage is concentrated in a relatively small area, the chances of finding any survivors are practically non-existent"

Gol released a statement saying "The wreckage of the plane was found 30 kilometres north of the Peixoto Azevedo municipality"

Troops are currently attempting to make their way through the dense jungle to the wreckage on foot.

Many relatives and friends desperate for information gathered at airports in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Manaus during the night.

Aviation officials now say that initial reports that the airliner collided with a smaller private plane cannot be confirmed.

Gol, which was founded in 2001, say that the plane was new and had only come into service this month.

A passenger list and further information can be found on the Gol website. Further information for family members can be found by calling 0800 2800749.

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

Talk:2008 GOP convention to be in Minnesota

GOP
What does GOP have to do with the article, I see no refrence to 'GOP' (I am from New Zealand). --Nzgabriel | Talk 11:12, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * GOP is another word for the Republican party. See GOP. F  e  llow  Wiki  News   (W)  17:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Specifically, it is the abbreviation of a nickname. It is not surprising you couldn't decipher it.  I had created the article with the word "Republican" in the headline so as to avoid this problem.  (SEWilco 05:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC))

Mumbai Police investigations indicate Pakistani role in 11/7 serial blasts

October 1, 2006

Mumbai Police Commissioner A N Roy confirmed today that investigations had revealed the involvement of the militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba and the (banned) Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in the 11 July 2006 bombing of the city's commuter rail network. He also stated that the attacks had been masterminded by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and carried out by Pakistani and Indian nationals.

Fifteen people, twelve of whom were directly involved in the execution of the bombings are in custody, eleven of them are Pakistani citizens.

The conspiracy to carry out the attacks, which killed 190 people, was hatched in the vicinity of Mumbai, by militants who were trained in Bahwalpur, Pakistan. The Pakistani bombers entered India in batches, some through the porous Indo-Nepal border, others via Bangladesh and some through Gujarat. They then reached Mumbai around May 25, and were sheltered in Malad and Bandra by Faizal Sheikh. Kamaluddin Ansari and Ehtasham Siddiqui, (General Secretary of SIMI, Maharashtra) were also involved in the conspiracy.

The RDX explosive used in the blasts was brought from Pakistan by a man called Ehsanullah, while the ammonium nitrate was procured locally. The explosives were assembled in Chembur by Mumbai resident Mohammad Ali, between 8 and 10 July. On the day of the attacks, the bombs (each containing 2 - 2.5 kg of RDX and 3.5 – 4 kg of ammonium nitrate) were concealed in eight pressure cookers and transported to the railway stations in taxis.

From there two member teams of bombers placed the explosives on the trains and detonated them using quartz timers. One of the militants, Saleem, a native of Lahore, could not (as was the plan) get off the train before the explosives went off, as a result of which he perished in the blast between Khar and Bandra. Of the seven Indian suspects, four (Faizal Sheikh, Kamaluddin Ansari, Ehtashan Siddiqui and Naved) have been apprehended, while a search is on for the other three.

Mr. Roy described the bombings as a "professional, precise and well-planned". The first clue his department got was a phone call made from Navi Mumbai to a place on the Indo-Nepal border. Based on this information Kamaluddin Ansari was arrested in from Madhubani, Bihar. Narco-analysis of the other suspects revealed that they were trained in Pakistan and also helped tie up other loose ends in the case. Faizal Sheikh also revealed that he had received Rs. 60,00,000 from Pakistan in the last few years. Police also recovered 26,000 Riyals, given to him by Rizwan Devra, an ISI operative living in Dubai, from Faizal's house.

Pakistan's Minister of State for Information, Tariq Azim, denied the role of the ISI in the bombings, saying that his country "rejected" the accusation, and that India should provide Pakistan with "any information if they have it". "Such allegations only give benefit to the real culprits, who escape arrest," he said.

Hurricane Isaac heads toward Atlantic Canada

October 1, 2006

Forecasters are predicting that could hit  as early as next week. The provinces Nova Scotia and Newfoundland have been advised to monitor the progress of Isaac.

Forecasters said Isaac should stay to the east of Bermuda, but the and Newfoundland could feel the outer edges of the storm.

User:Brian McNeil/Israel-Muslim relations coverage

Following what verged on becoming an out of control discussion on the policy section of the Water cooler, MessedRocker proposed in IRC that an open discussion be held in IRC where all agreed to logging of the conversation. This is supposed to be on Monday October 2, 2006 at 15:00 UTC. This may be in a specially set up channel so that the topic can emphasize logging policy for the discussion. .

Google for muslim countries which recognise israel turns up.. Zawahiri pope transcript turns up..

Or if you look a little down the results on the first search..

-
 * To put the above in perspective, we had a user that felt we were not fairly representing the POV of countries that do not recognise Israel. The discussion was pretty much a dud. --Brian McNeil / talk 23:04, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Highway overpass collapses near Montreal

October 1, 2006

An overpass has collapsed in Laval, a suburb of the Montreal area of Quebec, Canada. Three lanes of the Concorde Boulevard overpass collapsed into Highway 19. At least 5 people are dead, 6 others injured, 2 critically and least 3 cars are reported to be trapped underneath the overpass. Authorities have stated that 3 cars and a motorcycle were on the overpass when it collapsed.

Rescue workers and construction engineers have brought in heavy equipment, cranes and drills to break up the overpass into roughly a dozen smaller segments for removal. At the time of the collapse, authorities reported that 2 vehicles were trapped under the debris. Around midnight, the two vehicles were removed from the debris, and the five occupants of both vehicles were pronounced dead on the site.

Transport Quebec and Sûreté du Québec have reported that around 9:30 a.m. local time, people called 911, reporting that small chunks of concrete had fallen from the Boulevard de la Concorde (Concorde Boulevard) overpass over Autoroute 19, and Transport Quebec sent a crew to inspect. At around 11:55 a.m., Transport's Québec patrol arrived at the overpass confirming the facts. The patroller moved the chunks off the highway and produced a report, sent to the Transports Quebec branch responsible for Laval.

The incident happened at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time, local residents described what sounded like "an earthquake". It is not known at this time how the collapse occurred, or when it might be repaired. It is currently assumed that the cement bondings to the steel rods which held the overpass to its approaches gave way, and with nothing to hold the overpass' central span up, it collapsed.

This isn't the first overpass collapse in Laval. In 2000, a section of the Highway 15 overpass collapsed, killing one and injuring two others. It was later determined that the collapse in 2000 was caused by a manufacturing defect.

Former Ontario Premier Bob Rae and Environment minister Stephane Dion are in a neck-in-neck battle for second place with Rae having 341 delegates (19.5%) to Dion's 331 (18.4%). Lagging behind in fourth place is Gerard Kennedy who has the support of 235 delegates (13.4%).

The rest of the candidates are below 10% support, Scott Brison has 4.9% of delegates followed by former hockey great Ken Dryden with 4.7%, Joe Volpe with 3.4% and Martha Hall Findlay with 1.1%. A further 1.9% of delegates were elected as "undeclared" meaning they will be free to vote for whomever they want on the first ballot of the convention being held in December

Press reports had suggested that Ignatieff, a former Harvard professor and current Toronto MP would be in a head to head battle with Rae who recently joined the Liberal Party after leaving the New Democratic Party. However, Rae's tenure leading an unsuccessful NDP government from 1990 to 1995 may have contributed to his worse than expected showing in Ontario where he has come in third place winning 15.1% of the province's delegates thus far.

Almost 200,000 party members are eligible to vote in the "Super Weekend" of delegate selection meetings being held across Canada until tomorrow. 4,300 delegates are being selected by riding associations this weekend. They will join approximately 850 ex-officio delegates and 100 delegates elected by other bodies in the party at the leadership convention being held in Montreal on December 2nd and 3rd.

Letter from 1988 says Iran needed to aquire nuclear weapons to win the war with Iraq

September 30, 2006

A letter that had been written in 1988 by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the 1979 Iranian Revolution and is Iran's former Supreme Leader has been made public by Iran's former president Hashemi Rafsanjani and states that Iran needed to acquire nuclear weapons in an attempt to win the war with Iraq. The letter was reportadly sent to "political leaders" while the Iran-Iraq war was taking place.

BBC News says the letter states what would be needed if Iran was willing to continue any battle with the country of Iraq. Khomeini says that "more aircraft, helicopters, men and weapons" would be needed to continue the fight and that "within five years, need laser-guided and atomic weapons in order to win the war" with Iraq.

BBC News also say that Khomeini states Iran's economy "was operating at a level below zero." He also said that people who were needed to volunteer for battle were "in short supply."

The letter also states that Khomeini was "forced" into a cease-fire of the Iran-Iraq war, which he says is "like drinking poison."

Khomeini died in 1989.

Talk:Highway overpass collapses near Montreal

News name
I believe it should Highway overpass collapses in Laval... --69.196.167.254 23:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

In the English language, the name of the city (or rather metropolitan area) in question is Montreal. It is in the province of Quebec, Canada. Please note the lack of accents. For a city that is 25% English-speaking (more bilingual than all of Canada), I think you could at least use the correct name in the correct language. --65.94.95.158 14:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Well I still believe we should put in Laval, not near Montreal. --69.196.167.254 16:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I was actually just talking about the spelling of Montreal, not abotu putting it as Laval. However I think Montreal should be used in the headline since it must provide the boradest overview of the story and many people wouldn't know where Laval is. Saying Montreal reveals the true importance (near a major city). However the opening line clarifies that it happened in Laval, which is good.--65.94.95.158 23:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 2000 "collapse" in Laval was not a collapse due to manufacturing defect. As far as I can remember, some beams that were stored on a section of the overpass during construction toppled over and fell on the highway. There was no structural problem. The problem was that of failing to securely fasten stored construction elements.

Talk:Mumbai Police investigations indicate Pakistani role in 11/7 serial blasts

This article is relevant to the ISI - therefore, it also needs to be sorted into the Category:ISI. Ali Rana (talk) 05:28, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ — Gopher65talk 00:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Pakistan has denied any ISI role. Doldrums 04:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Indian National Security Advisor has stated that India doesn't have clinching evidence against ISI-

Tahni 03:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
The Indian police have made claims, but there evidence hasn't been independently verified, and their claim is disputed by Pakistan. In it's current form the title and the body of the article state these claims as fact, without balancing the Pakistani denials. The only evidence mentioned in the source is "narco-analysis", i.e. they got it by questioning suspects who they doped up on sedatives. TRWBW 10:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Your unnecessary commentary about the investigative techniques used by the Mumbai Police are not appreciated and are irrelevant to any (suggested) NPOV violations. If you wish to offer your insights as to whether or not narcoanalysis is justifiable, you may contact the Bombay High Court. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) [[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 14:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I think this article can be made NPOV by sticking to undisputed facts. I suggest identifying the claims of the Mumbai police as claims, put their statements in quotes, and include the Pakistani denials on an equal footing. It is also not disputed that Mumbai police give, as the sources of their evidence, statements from suspects drugged with sedatives. How the police got the evidence is relevant. TRWBW 14:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) There is ample evidence to show that the ISI was involved in the blasts. 2) Pakistani denials will be added to the article. 3) Narcoanalysis is a legitimate and commonly used form of interrogation, definitely more so than naked pyramids. 4) How the police conducted their probe is not relevant, this article deals with the findings of the investigation, not the investigation itself. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) [[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 16:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

NDTV link
is this the right one. Doldrums 16:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

narco-analysis
Narco-analysis wasn't the only technique used, but it was the only one that linked the suspects to ISI. Since this article is about that link, I think its relevant enough to be up top. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/how-police-cracked-7-11-case/22900-3.html Narco-analysis is a controversial technique, according to its wikipedia entry "information obtained by publicly-disclosed truth drugs has been shown to be highly unreliable, with subjects apparently freely mixing fact and fantasy". TRWBW 16:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * What does any of this have to do with the actual article? The Mumbai Police have stated that they have linked the ISI with 11/7, and that's what we will report.
 * By the way, Wikipedia also mentions the use of truth-serums (together with ample doses of sleep-deprivation and the occasional "uncomfortable posture") in certain other detainment centres. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) [[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 17:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It goes to the believability of the evidence. From CNN-IBN "Narco-analysis showed the involvement of the Lashkar and the Jaish as well as the ISI." This article is about the involvement of ISI. The accuracy of statements made under narc-analysis is controversial, at the least. This is entirely relevant. The accuracy of statements obtained by other forms of interrogation are controversial as well, and if the Indian police have used them, that should be mentioned as well. TRWBW 17:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * it is not clear from the CNN-IBN article or other news reports i saw whether the narco-analysis provided the initial leads or is part or whole of the evidence. to suggest that the link to ISI is "based on" the narco-analysis, or to highlight its use in the lead paragraph, is therefore inappropriate. it should, and is, mentioned further below. Doldrums 17:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I've read it again and it still seems to me that they aren't giving any evidence for the ISI link except the statements made under drugs. I looked for some more sources, and found in The Boston Globe "He offered no evidence to support the link, but said it was revealed during the questioning of suspects who had been drugged with a ``truth serum" to force them to divulge information." from http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/2006/10/01/indian_police_link_pakistan_to_train_blasts_in_mumbai/ TRWBW 17:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * yep, the Indian authorities have not yet made the evidence public, but have stated they have the evidence, and that they intend to share some(?) of it with Pakistan. Doldrums 17:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Can we put something up front that states this? Something like "The Mumbai police discovered the ISI link during narco-analysis ("truth-serum") interrogations of suspects, and have stated they have further evidence that they intend to share with Pakistan."?

 * Is there a source for their statement that they have further evidence, and will share it? TRWBW 18:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * there're sources for "they intend to share", but we don't know about "further evidence" - we don't know what the evidence consists of, only that some of the leads came from narco-analysis. and it is because we dont really know how significant this narco-analysis is, that we shldn't highlight it in the lead. u can add the "discovered during narco-analysis" later on, and indeed, it's alrady mentioned. if u can improve the wording on that mention, go ahead. Doldrums 18:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * K. P Raguvanshi, head of the Anti-Terror Squad say he has enough evidence to nail the ISI in the 7/11 blasts and the ATS will present the evidence in the court. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) [[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 06:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Evidence Against ISI Not Clinching
According to the Hindustan times, "India has "pretty good" but probably not "clinching" evidence of the involvement of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in the Mumbai train blasts of July 11, National Security Adviser MK Narayanan has said."

Al-Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri appears in new videotape

September 30, 2006

Al-Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri has appeared in a new videotape in which he calls President George W. Bush a "liar" and a "failure" in the war against terrorism. The video, which is 18 minutes long and titled "Bush, the Pope, Darfur and the Crusades" was released by IntelCenter and was produced by the media agency al-Sahab.

"Can't you be honest at least once in your life, and admit that you are a deceitful liar who intentionally deceived your nation when you drove them to war in Iraq?" said Zawahiri.

"Bush, you deceitful charlatan, 3 1/2 years have passed since your capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, so how have you found us during this time? Losing and surrendering? Or are we launching attacks with God's help and becoming martyrs? What you have perpetrated against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other Muslim captives in your prisons and the prisons of your slaves in Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan and elsewhere is not hidden from anyone, and we are a people who do not sleep under oppression and who do not abandon our revenge until our chests have been healed of those who have committed aggression against us," added Zawahiri.

"Your agents in the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan have captured thousands of the youth and soldiers of Islam whom you made to taste at your hands and the hands of your agents various types of punishment and torture. They are countering arguments that individuals have been able to provide useful information and they are continuing to reinforce their intentions for revenge," continued Zawahiri.

In the video, Zawahiri also criticizes the Pope Benedict XVI for comments he made against Muslims in a speech on September 12, 2006 and also calls for the Pope and all Christians to "become Muslims."

"This charlatan Benedict brings back to our memories the speech of his predecessor charlatan Urban II in the 11th century ... in which he instigated Europeans to fight Muslims and launch the Crusades because he (Urban) claimed 'atheist Muslims, the enemies of Christ' are attacking the tomb of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him," said Zawahiri.

"If Benedict attacked us, we will respond to his insults with good things. We will call upon him and all of the Christians to become Muslims who do not recognize the Trinity or the crucifixion," added Zawahiri.

Zawahiri also said that sending any peacekeepers to the Darfur Region of Sudan is a "crusader plan" and that all Muslims in the region "should defend themselves."

"There is a Crusader plan to send Crusaders forces to Darfur that is about to become a new field of the Crusades war. Oh, nation of Islam, rise up to defend your land from the Crusaders aggression who are coming wearing United Nations masks. No one will defend you (Darfur) but a popular holy war," said Zawahiri.

The U.S. intelligence agency, the CIA has confirmed that the tape is authentic and that the person appearing in the video is Zawahiri.

"After conducting a technical analysis of the videotape, the CIA can confirm with confidence that the voice on the tape is that of Ayman al-Zawahri," said spokeswoman for the CIA, Michele Neff.

It is not known exactly when the video was made, but United States officials say that it was written after September 12, the day of the Pope's speech.

This is the 48th video released by al-Qaeda this year. Zawahiri appeared in 14 of those videos.

French teacher in hiding after criticizing Islam

October 11, 2006

Robert Redeker, a French writer and college tutor in Toulouse, is now in hiding after receiving a series of death threats from Islamic fundamentalists by phone, email, and on a radical Islamist internet forum.

One online posting called upon French Muslims to "follow the lead of Muhammad Bouyeri", who murdered the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh after he made a film denouncing the plight of abused Muslim women.

The forum also published photos of him, his home address with directions, the places where he works, and his telephone numbers. Mr. Redeker told i-TV that:
 * "There is a very clear map of how to get to my home, with the words: 'This pig must have his head cut off'."

The French police say they are taking the threats seriously, but did not elaborate on the protection offered to Mr. Redeker.

Mr. Redeker had published an editorial in Le Figaro criticizing Islam. His article stated that the Prophet Mohammed was "a merciless warlord, a looter" and "a mass-murderer of Jews". He also asserted that Islam "exalts violence and hatred" in its sacred text and religious rites.

Le Figaro has defended Mr. Redeker, publishing a front-page open letter, signed by the editor and the publisher, saying "We condemn with the greatest conviction the grave attacks on freedom of thought and freedom of expression which this affair has provoked." But later issues apologies.

Education Minister Gilles de Robien expressed "solidarity" with Mr. Redeker but also criticized him for not showing "prudence and moderation". Two French teachers unions have issued statements defending Mr. Redeker's right to speak freely while also criticizing his statements.

Le Figaro has been banned in several Muslim countries, including Egypt.

Minimum wage in United Kingdom increases to £5.35

October 1, 2006

A minimum wage increase has come into effect in the United Kingdom. Workers of ages over 21 will now receive £5.35, which at current exchange rates is US$10.03. There was also an increase for persons under 21. It is estimated that 170,000 people in the United Kingdom do not receive the minimum payments for their work. £1.3m has been recovered by Revenue and Customs for underpaid workers.

The minimum rate for persons aged 18-21 has increased by 20p to £4.45. Also, for persons aged 16-17, the minimum rate has increased by 30p to £3.30.

The new United Kingdom adult minimum wage is roughly twice the United States' minimum wage of $5.15. The young person minimum wage of £3.30 is equivalent to about US$6.15, the state minumum wage in Florida and other US states.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Policies
Don't worry to much about going through all the policies before making contributions.

 * Agreed. I'm an (new) administrator here, and I probably can't remember one sentence from those policies. Basically, don't call anyone a terrorist, keep your opinions out of stories (Use your Editorials space for that) and don't put anything in that you can't prove.

Thank you for starting/working on Glasgow International Airport begins to reopen; arrests made and houses searched, you obviously "get" that we need to start new stories. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Al-Masri story
Hi, we can't just change yesterday's news. A new article will have to be started. Cheers, --SVTCobra 12:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I think if you review the history of Leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq arrested, the answer should be obvious. The story had been static for over twelve hours. Also by the time you made your edits, which were after 11:00 UTC, it was the next day almost everywhere except Samoa. Cheers, --SVTCobra 18:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tburch. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tburch~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 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
