NHL: Penguins defeat Thrashers, catch Devils

March 24, 2007

After chasing the New Jersey Devils the entire season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have finally caught up. With only 15 games remaining between the two clubs, the Penguins have arrived at 94 points, to pull into a virtual tie with New Jersey. New Jersey holds the tiebreaker, with 43 wins against the Penguins' 42. The two points that the Penguins received today wouldn't prove to be easy, though, as they would have to defeat the Southeast division leading Atlanta Thrashers.

Michel Ouellet, assisted by Gary Roberts and Evgeni Malkin, gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead at 7:55 when he beat Thrashers goalie Kari Lehtonen to score his 17th goal of the season. Jocelyn Thibault would hold Atlanta scoreless through the first two periods until Scott Mellanby finally broke through to score at 6:18 into the final period. With the score tied 1-1, Jordan Staal would score what would prove to be the game winner on a fluke shot from behind the goal line at 10:19. Assists were credited to Ryan Malone and Josef Melichar. Despite desperate play and a pulled goalie in the final minutes, Atlanta couldn't find the net, and the Penguins would hold on for the win. Thibault was spectacular for the Penguins, stopping 25 of 26 shots. Thrashers goaltender Kari Lethonen was almost as good as Thibault, stopping 26 of 28 shots faced.

The Penguins return to the ice tommrow when they will host the Boston Bruins at Mellon Arena. Atlanta does not play again until Wednesday, when they will travel to Florida to take on the Panthers.

Three Stars of the Game

 * #1 - Jocelyn Thibault, G, PIT - 25 saves, .962 save pct.
 * #2 - Kari Lehtonen, G, ATL - 26 saves, .929 save pct.
 * #3 - Michel Ouellet, RW, PIT - 1 goal

Harper: "The Red Ensign of 1917 will fly over Vimy"

March 25, 2007 Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has requested the Canadian Red Ensign flag fly at Vimy Ridge ceremonies next month, Harper told his cabinet ministers that he wanted both the Red Ensign and the Maple Leaf hoisted in Vimy, France, at the 90th anniversary of the First World War battle, sources close to the Prime Minister said.

"He said, 'The Red Ensign of 1917 will fly over Vimy,' " one source told The Globe and Mail last week.

The Honourable Jason Kenney the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism, and Canadian Identity, all but confirmed this week that both flags would be raised. "Canadian Red Ensign of 1917 will fly in France next month to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the re-dedication of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial."

The decision was hailed as a victory by veterans' groups and advocates, who have been lobbying Ottawa to have the historical ensign displayed over the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Veterans Affairs cited a governmental protocol that allows no other flag than the Maple Leaf to fly on federal property. The land on which the Vimy Memorial was built was donated to Canada by France. "We know where the veterans are coming from . . . but we have to follow protocol," said Janice Summerby, a spokeswoman for Veterans Affairs.

Meanwhile a new poll has indicated that a majority of Canadians want their two national flags to fly at Vimy ridge next month.

The Ipsos Reid survey finds 79 per cent of respondents support the idea of flying both the current flag and the old Canadian 'Red Ensign' during a ceremony marking the 90th anniversary in April. At the time of the famous WWI battle at Vimy Ridge, the Canadian flag was the Red Ensign, which includes the Royal Union.

In 1965, the flag was changed to today's Maple Leaf design after heated debate across the country.

Large earthquake off Japan, tsunami warning issued

March 25, 2007

Japan has issued a tsunami warning after experiencing a magnitude 7.1 earthquake off the west coast island of Honshu. The US Geological Survey reported a magnitude 6.7 earthquake on March 25, 2007 at 9:41 a.m. local time near the west coast of Honshu and a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in the Southern Pacific off Vanuatu at 11:40 a.m. local time. The tremor did not trigger a tsunami.

The USGS has reported subsequent smaller tremors in the regions of Honshu, on March 25, 2007 at 6:11 p.m. local time and Vanuatu, at 9:37 p.m., with magnitudes of 5.5 and 5.2, respectively.

Japan's Meteorological Agency lifted the tsunami advisory for Ishikawa prefecture at 11:30 a.m. JST.

ABC news says that 21 people died in the quake. The death occurred after a woman was struck, reportedly, by a stone lantern in her garden. NHK also states that South Korea's meteorological agency broadcast a tsunami advisory for the eastern and southeastern coast areas. A 50 cm tsunami was expected to reach the Busan area at 12:02 pm local time.

NHK also reported that the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata prefecture was operating normally. Hokuriku Electric Power Co. reported no effects from the earthquake and that the Number 1 and 2 reactors at its Shika nuclear power plant were shut down. It is reported that some 9400 homes in the region are without water and approximately 100 without electricity. Some roads have been damaged, railway service interrupted in the affected areas, and the Noto Airport in Ishikawa prefecture remains closed.

The Japanese government has set up a task force at the risk management center in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's official residence. It is collecting information to confirm damage.

NCAA Basketball: UCLA defeats Kansas, Ohio State holds off Memphis

March 24, 2007

National Semi-Final Round of the 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament

Ohio State Buckeyes 92, Memphis Tigers 76
The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Memphis Tigers to advance to the Final Four for the first time since 1999 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Ron Lewis led the Buckeyes in scoring with 22 points, and freshman Greg Oden added 17. Jeremy Hunt led the Tigers in scoring with 26 points, 17 of which came in the first half. Memphis hung around through the first half by converting 7 of 10 three-point shots. However, they could not keep the same consistency through the second, scoring on only 3 of their 12 shots from behind the arch.

Memphis failed to advance to the Final Four after advancing to the Elite Eight for the second strait year. The Buckeyes, along with ending the Tigers season, snapped a 25 game winning streak for Memphis. Ohio State hopes to win their first championship since 1960, but will have to defeat either North Carolina or Georgetown, depending on the outcome of that game for a chance to advance to the National Championship game in Atlanta.

The North Carolina Tarheels will play the Georgetown Hoyas tommrow at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

UCLA Bruins 68, Kansas Jayhawks 55
Aaron Afflalo turned in the biggest game of his career, scoring 24 points, to lead the UCLA Bruins to their second-strait trip to the Final Four at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. Kansas was the first #1 seed to be elimanated from the tournament, with Florida and North Carolina still to play, and Ohio State advancing earlier in the evening. Brandon Rush led the Jayhawks in scoring with 18 points off the bench. UCLA had a 54% field goal percentage while Kansas only managed 41%.

UCLA may be in for a rematch if the Florida Gators can defeat the Oregon Ducks tommrow at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri.

British sailors detained by Iran "to be tried for espionage"

March 25, 2007

The Australian has reported that an internet website "run by associates of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" states that the 15 British sailors who were arrested by Iranian Revolutionary Guards could face charges of espionage. The source website for this claim remains unknown; however, Rajanews.com, a news website run by some of supporters of Ahmadinejad said on their website: "If the charges of espionage is brought against them the result would be heavy punishment by current law."

"If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offenses," said the news report which also called the sailors "insurgents." Individuals who are tried and found guilty of espionage or spying would be penalized by death, according to Iranian law. The Iranian government initially gave the position of the incident as being outside Iranian territorial waters. General Alireza Afshar, Iran's top military general, then stated that the sailors were engaged "in illegal and suspicious activities" inside Iranian waterways at the time of their detention and that the sailors "have admitted to violating the territorial waters of the Islamic republic". After the UK queried the statement by General Alireza Afshar, the Iranian government gave a revised position for the incident, now placing it inside Iranian territorial waters.

Reports also say that the sailors are being held until five Iranian guards, detained in Iraq by the United States early in 2007, are released to the Iranian government.

"As soon as the corps’s five members are released, the Britons can go home," an unnamed source close to the command of Qods Force, who also said that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei approved of the trade off.

The sailors and marines, from the frigate, had been inspecting, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1723, a ship that was believed to be smuggling cars into Iraq, though it was subsequently cleared after inspection when Iranian gunboats surrounded the sailors and arrested them at gunpoint.

Reports also say that the sailors were taken to the Iranian capital of Tehran where they are allegedly going to appear before a court. It is not known when they will appear before the court in Iran or when the hearing will be held.

As a result of the detention of the sailors, the United Kingdom has activated their "", which is Britain's crisis management team as the U.K. denies that the sailors were in Iranian waters. Tony Blair, the U.K.'s Prime Minister, calls the situation "unjustified and wrong."

"This is a very serious situation and there is no doubt at all that these people were taken from a boat in Iraqi waters. I hope the Iranian government understands how fundamental an issue this is for us. They should not be under any doubt at all about how seriously we regard this act, which was unjustified and wrong. It is simply not true that they went into Iranian territorial waters," Blair claimed during a news conference today who also stated that the situation could be resolved within the next couple of days.

"The quicker it is resolved, the easier it will be for all of us," added Blair.

In a press release March 25, Minister  stated, "We've been insisting that [the sailors] should be released immediately - there is no reason to hold them - that they should be released unharmed and that we should be in a position to assure their families that they are in good health and that they're safe."

Triesman indicated that meetings have taken place with Iranian officials over the release of the seized British sailors, and that "they're delicate discussions."

Talk:British sailors detained by Iran "to be tried for espionage"

Quotations?
Following Wikinews' neutral POV policy, shouldn't the quotation marks around espionage be removed? To put espionage in quotations implies that these are false charges, or that the soldiers are being wrongly accused. Both of those are taking a stance, an opinion on the matter. Unless evidence surfaces that would prove those things of course, and even then that would be an entirely new Wikinews article, not a retroactive change on this one. Wrc wolfbrother 05:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No...the quotes are quotes of government officials from Iran. DragonFire1024 05:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

But "had been inspecting, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1723" does not contain quotation marks and  is stated as fact. If they strayed within Iranian waters - and the area is disputed - they would not be in accordance with the resolution. So why is this not stated as a quote by a British official to bring it into line with the Iranian comments?--Steerpikenz 09:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The UK says they were not in Iranian waters. DragonFire1024 09:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there a need for quotation marks in the title or in text around espionage. If its correct use it should be more used, not just from sources not in favour of those accepting Anglo-American-centric point of view when something is contradicted by different sources. And the quotation (") is often mistaken for situation marks(') and used around a single word like this put the statement in scruple. international 19:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Changing the title
If I'm not mistaken Wikinews has guidelines about changing the title of an article. If possible, start off with a title that's a bit more general, so you don't have to change it at all.

I'm just posting this because I now have this article in my RSS reader 5 times. And I don't think any of the changes to the title were really worth it. :)

Just my two cents.

British sailors detained by Iran to be tried for espionage
Why wikinews has remained an unreliable reference: A totally false title British sailors detained by Iran "to be tried for espionage" has remained here for almost 2 days, although I did try to change it. Nevertheless I personally hope this "news" becomes a reality to prove Stephen Colbert's hypothesis.Gerash77

Rajanews.com
The article or editorial linked to at [www.rajanews.com/News/?7609] is hard to verify since it is in Farsi. Also, the footnote is working in it present form, but is it right to move it to sources? Unknown date, unknown author, unknown title, Farsi content. --SVTCobra 20:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Why was this page used by 20 or so western newspapers to say that "associates of Ahmadinejad" want to execute the Brits, remains unclear to me. Expansion of this rumor would have resulted in an attempt to pressure the Iranian government to stop the website, one of only few in Iran standing up to the Rafsanjani tribe. This is why I attempted to stop the rumor at source. You can do whatever you want with the article, the danger seems to be gone. Gerash77 21:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Iran has to follow the Geneva Conventions, the capured men have to be handled at worst as POWs. At this point it, makes no different, wether they invaded Iran or were capured somewhere else. --Histio 13:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

What to do?
Talk about an impasse...

This situation is a mess, and let me tell you -- right now I don't feel any envy for Tony Blair. If Iran refuses to return the troops because they were in Iranian waters, then he's either got to rescue them, do nothing, or level Iran into dust (theoretically, he could impose sanctions at the UN, but in the past few days we've seen how effective that is). The latter option, of course, will be met by an increase of violence to an extreme point, and probably all-out-war. Doing nothing will met by an increase of violence and kidnappings, I'm sure. It'll also make anti-war supporters and war-spouses go after his head. Rescuing them will give the IRGC just another chance to have a bunch of military hostages, albeit these ones with the logo of the SAS on their shirts.

I'm saddened to see what I thought was a fairly decent leader - a leader with charisma, intelligence, and what I felt was an honest benevolent attitude -- have so much pressure tossed upon him. Despite all the things that have plagued his career, I liked the guy, and as a fellow human, I certainly feel sorry for an event that could break his back occurred over something like this. I can't say for sure; he definitely has more information than I do, and I'm sure if there's a possible solution, he'll take it. I think the time has come where global war is imminent, and will be so, until we solve this 'pesky problem' of conflicting religion and have our Restoration.

POW
Think the sailors have to be handeld as prisenor of war.--Histio 13:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

BRITISH SAILORS SHOULD BE PARDONED...
Despite many differences between the U.K,IRAN,U.S and IRAQ,the british sailors should be released and the iraqis detained by the U.S troops also be released to avoid this imminent danger and war that may ensue among many nations of the world. Though the british sailors had admitted to have trespassed on iranian's territorial water of the islamic republic. It is an understatement for the british prime minister,Tony Blair,to have regarded the iranian government's acts as unjustified and wrong,rather he should hold peace talks with the U.N to resolve amicably these conflicting crisis so as to get those detained britons out of this helpless situations.

Lane Cove Tunnel opens in Sydney

March 25, 2007

The last piece of Sydney's orbital motorway system - the Lane Cove Tunnel opened to traffic at 2PM AEST today. The 3.6 km long tunnel took three years, 9,000 workers and AUD1.1 billion to complete.

The tunnel was opened by four people who built it as well as the NSW Roads Minister Eric Roozendaal. Premier Iemma did not attend, opting to stay at home with his family after yesterday's election win.

Over the next month, motorists will be able to use the tunnel toll-free before a toll of $2.55 per car is introduced. It is expected around 80,000 vehicles per day will use the tunnel during it's toll-free period.

Designers of the tunnel claim it will reduce travel times by as much as 17 minutes.

The NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) has warned motorists that delays may be encountered as drivers get used to the new tunnel and associated changes. Last month the RTA launched a $1.1 million advertising campaign to advise motorists of the changes associated with the Lane Cove Tunnel including a virtual test drive on its website.

The tunnel completes Sydney's orbital motorway system, a 110 kilometre stretch of motorways circling the city. The Lane Cove Tunnel connects the Hills Motorway (M2) to the Gore Hill Freeway bypassing Epping Road.

Associated with the tunnel are changes to Epping Road (reducing lanes and providing bus lanes), widening of the Gore Hill Freeway and the Falcon Street Gateway.

The Falcon Street Gateway is a pair of north facing on/off ramps onto the Warringah Freeway which are tolled at $1.27 for cars.

Both the Lane Cove Tunnel and Falcon Street Gateway feature fully electronic tolling and have no cash toll booths.

Evgeni Malkin, Gary Roberts, and  Ryan Malone also scored for the Penguins. The Penguins were strong on special teams, scoring 3 power play goals and 1 shorthanded goal, while also killing five Bruins penalties. Marc-Andre Fleury saved all 29 shots he faced. It was his 5th shutout this season and 7th of his career.

The Penguins moved into a tie with the New Jersey Devils with the win. The Penguins had tied them yesterday afternoon, but New Jersey's win that night put them ahead by 2 points once more. New Jersey holds the tiebreaker, with 44 wins against the Penguins' 43. They also sit 2 points behind the Ottawa Senators for 4th place in the East.

Meanwhile, Boston has lost the last 4 games and 7 of the past 9. They are virtually eliminated from the playoffs, sitting 13th in the Eastern Conference with 74 points. With 8 games remaining, they sit 10 points out of the playoffs.

The Penguins return to the ice Tuesday when they will travel to Washington to face the Capitals. The Bruins also play Tuesday, when they visit Ottawa.

Newfoundland government launches seal hunt website

March 26, 2007

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced, March 23, 2007, the launch of a new website to counter "misinformation about the sealing industry that is put in the public domain by international animal rights organizations."

Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture Tom Rideout, stated, "The sealing industry Web site is a key part of government’s plan to correct the misinformation on this all important industry. It will provide easy access to factual information on the Newfoundland and Labrador sealing industry to Internet users all over the world."

The annual seal hunt in Canada is a source of controversy and ignites protest worldwide. Opponents of the harvest attempt to observe the hunt each year and stage protests in cities throughout the world. Boycotts of Canadian seal products and seafood have been called for.

"It is critical the public has easy access to factual information on the sealing industry," said Rideout. "There is a lot of misinformation in the public domain and the groups that are spreading the misinformation have a strong Web presence. In order to effectively counter this information, it is important that government has a strong presence as well."

The website contains information on the history of the sealing industry, its economic importance, and utilization of the animal, once harvested.

In addition to the website, the government will send a delegation of individuals to Europe on March 25 to meet with European parliamentarians and media regarding the seal hunt. The delegation will travel to Brussels, London, Berlin and The Hague.

Rain in Greater Vancouver area, increased turbidity in drinking water

March 26, 2007

The rain has stopped in the Lower Mainland in British Columbia, but the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) says the region's water worries are not over.

Some residents in the area had to leave their homes after a mud slide came down Friday evening. About 21 consecutive days were without sunshine but rain in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.

The heavy rainfall above the steep hills above the region's water supply lakes mean that there may be increased turbidity in the drinking water, officials warn.

Officials say that this should not be a problem for most people, but people with bad immune systems should take extra precautions, like boiling their water. However, this is not a boil-water advisory. One was issued last November after a big storm in the Greater Vancouver area, affecting about a million people.

Comments:Newfoundland government launches seal hunt website

Is this the industry that supposedly clubs baby seals?--67.72.98.104 04:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC) (Viridis on Wikipedia)

Her an email from Holland. I just saw the news. It was about the sealhunters on tour to try to convince us why there is nothing wrong with killing seals.

I wil tell you what my opinion is:

Don't be such a hypocrite that it's neccessary to kill them to regulate the population.

We human people were the ones to disturb nature in the first place and what fore? You tell me, you just tell the world and be man enough to face the consequences and stand for what you say.

Truth is, you won't, because you could not tell us, that it's all about money, status, power and economics And you Goverment and captain of industries know that and tha't's why you would never tell us.

Because, why couldn't you just shoot the seal and give the animal some respect for being part of real nature, so that the animal does'not have to suffer for the way they get tortured, just to keep the fur as much as possible. But why would you want to have as much fur as you can get of the seal when the only reason you say is to regulate the population. You can make very strict rules about the hunting and the way they have to do it. And I seriously wonder if the amount you say have to be killed are true numbers.....

You tell me, why you just won't do that!

And if you won't you must be the worst kind of animal existing, too busy distroying this place we live on, just for some money to buy that sealfurcoat?

UN sanctions prompt Iran to limit cooperation with IAEA

March 26, 2007

The government of Iran will be limiting its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) a government spokesperson said, just a day after the United Nations voted to impose sanctions on Iran.

"It is not a new issue for the Iranian nation. Enemies of the Iranian nation have made a mistake this time too. [Sanctions] will not halt Iran's peaceful nuclear program even for a second. The Iranian nation will not forget those who backed and those who rejected (the resolution), while adjusting its international relations," said the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Gholam Hossein Elham, a spokesman for the Iranian government said that the country would be halting all "code 1-3 of minor arrangements of the safeguards" with the IAEA and will "continue until Iran's nuclear case is referred back to the IAEA from the U.N Security Council."

Elham also said that the sanctions imposed on the country are "illegal" and also said that the U.N. is "bullying" the nation.

, the acting United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that the sanctions "sent a clear and unambiguous message to Iran" that continuing to build a nuclear program "will only further isolate Iran and make it less, not more, secure."

Talk:UN sanctions prompt Iran to limit cooperation with IAEA

Misleading Title and content
The article title and content are misleading - in particular, the Houston Chronicle article stated Iran was "partially suspending cooperation" and that "It was not immediately clear what the suspension of cooperation would entail." -v 24.222.117.35 17:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I hope my edits addressed your concerns. I removed your tag. --SVTCobra 22:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Internal Links
If i click on the president of Iran I want to know him...who he is what he ahs done etc...not a news article about him especially if I don't know who he is. I do not like the internal links in this case...or most cases. DragonFire1024 09:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The solution there is to source a short biography from the Wikipedia article and put it on the linked to page alongside the wikipedia link. I'd prefer we use brief profiles on people pages rather than linking to wikipedia and hiding our content.  We should give news content, and the encyclopedia should stay 2 clicks away from the article.  One to our local cat, then a wikipedia link. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That would work for me. just so long as there is something that can direct them to learn about the person place or thing in general. DragonFire1024 09:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This is water cooler stuff but I agree with Brianmc 100%. Wikinews is about news. If you want to look up on somebody go to WikiCommons, hmm I wondering if I present this properly. -Edbrown05 09:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ed and I agree... The world must be about to end. :-P --Brian McNeil / talk 09:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Some people may not know what commons is. I am speaking of a reader coming across the article and wanting to know more. Wikinews is about news we write the news...not the history of a leader etc. DragonFire1024 10:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * As you'd see I went and added a template to the page.  What's there now is what I'd consider the minimum we should have, a sentence (preferably more) plus a link to Wikipedia.  And now I'm off to edit the guy's page on Wikipedia to link back to us. :) --Brian McNeil / talk 10:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Need more details
Now that Iranian officials have declared April 9th as national "nuclear achievement" day, are there any additional details that can be collected as a follow-up article? There are many aspects to this debate. Firstly, has the Atom Stroi company of Russia agreed yet to deliver nuclear fuel to the Bushehr plant? Is Bushehr really a civilian nuclear facility? Is Natanz really a civilian nuclear facility? Does Iran maintain still that its civilian nuclear facilities are exempt from UN sanctions?

US officials have uttered responses that are rather vague, but the US Navy action has been rather specific. With two aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, and two more on their way, the build-up of military readiness near Iran is astounding. The specifics and the logically-related topics would make a great series of articles, with timelines, quotes, etc.... Don't forget that the USS Nimitz left San Diego on April 2nd and will be in the Persian Gulf by April 12th. No one seems to be "connecting the dots" on the Iran issue.

Russia's stance, the Russian staff at Bushehr, discussions with the UN, and the US Navy build-up are all related. The US already has invested a great deal of effort in getting the Kurds a place to live. Many nations have a stake in limiting Iran's nuclear potential....why not fully explore all the facets of this issue?

Comments:UN sanctions prompt Iran to limit cooperation with IAEA

"espionage"
Why do people keep quoting espionage? This is silly. The accusation may well have been made by a less-than-credible source, the Iranian government. It may well just be political maneuvering, but it is a criminal charge, there is no point in quoting it because if the Iranians decide they're going to have a show trial they will.

It's funny, you could probably do a story from the BBC's "Have Your Say" section. The vocal recommended comments suggest turning Iran into a glass parking lot, or decomissioning Trident over Tehran. :-) --Brian McNeil / talk 09:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

"Late" edits
Wikinews is not like Wikipedia, articles are not works in progress and there should be no notable changes after 24-36 hours. I have rolled back a recent edit of yours as a result of this rule. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:22, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The issue is that by the time something is three days old most people will have read it when it was in the main part of the front page. If they come back to it there should be no significant changes. Fixing spelling and grammar errors like "it's" versus "its" are fine, but my judgement was that this was a somewhat bigger change than that.
 * Anyway, don't worry, you'll get the hang of things round here. :) --Brian McNeil / talk 08:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Power sharing to return to Northern Ireland

Following an historic meeting between Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams, the leaders of the DUP and Sinn Fein respectively, devolved government is to return to Northern Ireland. A delay has been agreed by those involved and a new target date of the 8th of May has been set for the restoration of power sharing in Northern Ireland.

The governments of Britain and Ireland had warned that the Stormont assembly would be shut down if an executive had not been agreed by today.

Time to get more infoboxes
Just a note, but most of these are really out of date, relating to events over a few years ago. Maybe get a world cup one? NickyJ101 (talk) 20:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Election infobox
Can we have an infobox on US elections, or any elections in general? That'd be a nice complement to Category:Elections. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :|  08:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Wish list of Infoboxes

 * World Cup
 * Nature

Just my two little bits! --Bddpaux (talk) 19:19, 27 July 2021 (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 Savannah. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Savannah~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 23:28, 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)

Talk:LTTE carry out airstrike on air force base in Sri Lanka

any information on the type of aircraft used? apparently the tigers have published pictures of the aircraft and pilots so I would assume that someone can identify it. 82.13.83.244 17:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * My brother, a pilot and aviation nut, looked in to this for me, and from the pictures available and some research online believes it is most likely a ZLIN 242 or one of the similar ZLIN models. (Pic at http://www.airvipservice.com/ZLIN%20ENG.jpg ). The manufacturers of website is at http://www.moravan.cz/ :Vindice 21:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
