User:JehLay

Blessings always be!

JehLay is a combination of Jeh from Gerald and Lay the family name. JehLay is the nickname of Gerald Lay. JehLay also known as Gerald Lay a Filipino was born on the 16 October 1958, Manila, Philippines. JehLay most favorite quotation: Blessings always be!

JehLay as an individual traveler travelling the world river of time today believes in respect begets respect; karma, law of cause and effect; that's why JehLay only passes through this world but once, JehLay will do the best!

JehLay a student of Life and student for Life knows that experiences are the best teachers guiding and giving references for the possible solutions in life. Since Life is short, that's why JehLay is determined to make most out of it in Life. Since Life is what we make of it, we should know how we go about it, and most importantly is how to survive it!

JehLay have such fascinations of soul searching leading to soul travelling with the goal of reaching the Golden Temple of Wisdom to discover and explore the quest for infinite wisdom but with Divine Guidance from the Supreme Great Architect of the Universe.

As an ordinary individual JehLay is still learning to subdue the destructive passions in life such as anger, greed, lust, vanity and attachment. Because destiny is not a matter of chance but a choice; a choice, the path to follow with the will to survive and achieve the destination. Destiny is a thing to be achieved!

JehLay discovered that Love is the formula to success; because with Love, one learns humility. The real purpose of Love is not getting what we want; its main principle is the unconditional unselfishly giving of what we have. Cannot put a price or tag on the Love we give or share. Do not expect any return of investment of Love. Giving Love unconditionally eases as it releases the heavy feeling of the other destructive passions which burden within!

Blessings always be!

YouTube allows users to share videos under Creative Commons license

June 3, 2011

YouTube on Thursday announced that a new section of its free online video editor is now hosting content released under Creative Commons licenses.

Videos licensed under Creative Commons may be reused by anyone, including for commercial purposes, so long as the reusers credit the original creators of those videos. A software engineer at the video sharing company said that their video editor would hold 10,000 Creative Commons videos, and that they would be working with organizations like, , Voice of America, and Al Jazeera.

Individual users may also choose to release their own videos under (CC BY), making it easier for others to edit their content. According to Creative Commons, the CC BY license is "the most accommodating of licenses offered", allowing users to "distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation". YouTube videos that reuse Creative Commons content will link back to the original videos.

, such as Nick Bilton from The New York Times, expect this action to help alleviate recent debates regarding copyright on YouTube; strict guidelines are already in place to protect companies who want to post videos onto the site. As Natasha Willhite from  explained "YouTube has a copyright policy that is understandably strict; yet some people still experienced confusion after it started cracking down on infringements, so it added a 'copyright school' for the violators to help them understand where they could have violated copyrights and what other ways they could possibly violate the laws if they do not pay close attention to the content that they add."

YouTube users will now have more room for creativity in creating content, while protecting everyone's copyright at the same time. "Instead of spending time in running through all parts that make up a video such as music, cartoons/art, or anything else, more time is put towards the development of new ideas using other people's contents plus the user's contents," said Willhite.

Talk:YouTube allows users to share videos under Creative Commons license

What exactly creative commons license?
There are many Creative Commons licenses, with different stances on derivative, commercial and share-alike works. Some of them are not free licenses. Please specify due to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#which-cc
 * It's not clear from the news sources. The article says that users will have the option of licensing their self-made videos under a CC BY license, but it's unclear to me what licenses the C-SPAN, Al Jazeera, et al videos will be released under. My guess is that, similar to Flickr and Wikimedia Commons, YouTube videos will be released under different kinds of CC licenses, depending on the wishes of the uploader. Public domain might also be an option, given that Voice of America, as a US federal government agency, cannot claim copyright. Ragettho (talk) 06:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

This is the absolute best way to actively bring about change in social attitudes to take place. All the graduates of that year will remember how their prom king & queen were two gay guys. It's an amazing thing these kids did. Congrats!

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 Muralip. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Muralip~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Cool idea
Cool idea Pi zero:). Gopher65talk 23:43, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Problems
Breaks ssl linking. Mediawiki will modify all WMF local and interwikis to the secure server(s) when parsing pages. This template hard-codes links to the insecure servers. -  Amgine | t 04:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * interwikis don't stay on the secure server. There's a bug in bugzilla somewhere about it. There is a gadget that re-writes links to wikipedia to use the secure server you might be using (this template shouldn't affect that). This template could be modifed to use external links if we were really desperate that auto-adjusted based on, but i think interwikis are in general better. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:28, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm certainly *not* using a gadget, but I am using https everywhere which will force me to secure server. But the interwikis on en.WN *do* show up for secure server, while those for the template do not, which is why I noticed this at all. -  Amgine | t 04:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That is interesting, because the template uses interwikis internally. The html produced should essentially be the same, with perhaps a span wrapping it. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC) (p.s. I should say until recently, now it uses external links when you're visiting secure). Bawolff ☺☻ 02:30, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Not working with Main Page
I just noticed that articles which have the new linked content are not displaying correctly on the Main Page. The linked content doesn't display, so instead of a line such as "Hendrick Motorsports driver Jeff Gordon, who qualified 20th, won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 held on Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, United States." now appears as "driver, who qualified 20th, won the held on Sunday at in Arizona, United States." (see article Jeff_Gordon_wins_the_2011_Subway_Fresh_Fit_500) -- kamnet (talk) 09:55, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 * The problem can be approached in at least two ways:
 * Make people aware that they shouldn't use the template on the lede early in the life of the article. Clearly the warning banner isn't working, and I doubt making it more prominent would do the trick either; this approach seems like trying to change human nature.  People don't even notice that the text by Make lead is coming out garbled; it's akin to the way people put Wikipedia links on a page as if Wikipedia were a do-what-I-mean device, not checking the links to notice that the page doesn't exist, or is a disambig page, or is the wrong page.  (A few days ago I found an archived article in which Tripoli, Lebanon was linked to Tripoli.)
 * Modify Make lead so it handles w correctly. Sigh.  I didn't mean to cause such a fuss; originally I'd devised w as a way of gradually turning the hopeless task of categorizing/local-linking our archives into a merely staggering task.
 * --Pi zero (talk) 11:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Why is w being used anyway? Per above, it breaks secure interwiki as-provided by a Gadget. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Per above, it no longer does so. — μ 11:45, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It now provides better security than raw w: links (akin to w:Template:Sec link auto). --Pi zero (talk) 12:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I've added a notice to WN:ML to remind people about this, as an interim measure. I don't think we should stop using this template — I was mistaken in adding w to the NASCAR article (it had been published for a couple of hours, I assumed it wasn't going on the Main Page, or that it already was). — μ 12:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree, now that I'm aware of the template, we shouldn't stop using it. ML just needs to be made aware of it, is all. -- kamnet (talk) 20:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ WN:ML fixed. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:58, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Mars Opportunity rover passes distance milestone

June 4, 2011 The  has passed the 30-kilometer (18.64-mile) milestone in its travels over the Martian surface. Opportunity has been on Mars since 2004.

It was during a small recent drive of 146.8 meters (482 feet) that the rover passed the distance milestone. According to NASA, the distance traveled by Opportunity is 50 times that originally planned for the rover.

Opportunity has passed several craters since landing on Mars in 2004, including one of the youngest craters yet investigated by the rover, named "Skylab" after the. The rover's ultimate destination is a large crater approximately in diameter; Opportunity is now within about  of this crater.

Opportunity's sister rover,, traveled about across the Martian surface before it lost communication with Earth in March 2010; last month, NASA ceased attempts to regain contact with the rover.

Both the Opportunity and Spirit rovers have greatly surpassed their intended operational lifespan—which ended in April 2004—and have helped researchers make discoveries about the history of Mars, as well as the possibility that microbial life could have once been supported on the fourth planet from the sun.

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 Helloworld. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Helloworld~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I hope you are not being serious. Firstly the 'everything natural is good' type ideal is simply a marketing ploy so products can claim 'no artificial ingredients' and to be in tune with mother nature to make fools buy stuff. secondly; how are homosexuals not natural? are they genertically engineered in a test tube by some mad scientist? They're not doing it just to annoy people with archaic and hipocritial (cannot spell) christian ideals. These guys showed balls!

So you support illegal activity? Hacking into a private network without the authorisation of the network owner or operator is a federal offence, if I remember my US Law correctly. Whilst they had every right to tell the public something was up, they should have had the balls to TELL SONY FIRST, instead of being the assholes they are and doing it illegally. I hope the members of lulzsec get caught and filed under "RIP", Rot in prison.

That they may, have balls this is true.

May i welcome you to my home city of Portland, Oregon. Where men and men walk down the street hand in hand wearing leather chaps exposing their bare ass to the public. Where yearly we have a naked bicycle run across town. In this town the idea of being green is a unquestionable god. All the gays, liberals and some of the conservatives are in this group of hard core greenies. If its marketing it is better then Christianity.

If I remember correctly males and females exist to make babies so therefore, any other form of sex and or intimacy is unnatural, unless I'm mistaken about life on this planet. Also before you argue the love side of things think about this, love is something we can feel for anything so why stop at the same sex? Why not marry animals or cars or computers or cell phones? I mean who does not love their cell phone these days? If It was me I would marry each bottle of beer because I “love it”

Simply put gays = unnatural or, are missing something in their DNA which normally would be removed by natural selection, a mutation.

Not much to say to that my friend i don't think we are animals and I'm pretty sure sex is for reproduction so a race can live on but what do i know. I guess purpose can be far from use.

But we are animals. To deny that we are animals is to disregard the evolutionary history of our species, and to ignore our place in the natural world.

And "natural" human action—or animal action, for that matter—is not limited to whatever we need to do to survive. Kissing and hugging, for example, aren't essential to the survival of the human species, yet we do it all the time anyway. Would you call that unnatural?

Talk:Assisted-suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian dies at age 83

Could a clarification be made to the article?
The article states: The concept of a doctor assisting suicide was controversial within the US at the time and he was known as "Dr Death". This leaves the impression that it no longer is controversial now. However, it remains controversial; only three states out of fifty allow any kind of assisted suicide, and those states closely restrict its practice. Mattisse (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Suggestion for alternative wording: The concept of a doctor assisting suicide is  at the time and he was known as "Dr Death".
 * I will try to change it myself, as I have been criticised in the past for doing so. So this is a risk for me! Forgive me if I do wrong. Mattisse (talk) 15:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The limit is 24 hours; I don't tend to time it to an exact hour and prefer to interpet it as 'roughly one day'. As such, after checking the new info you added, I sighted the change. Adding something to show ongoing controversy would be good, too. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 16:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Wow, How dumb and ignorant. . . . . . . Very SAD !! ! Facebook did not revolutionize Egypt, Facebook did not act as a main change in the Middle East, All Facebook did was absolutley NOTHING ! It was the will and honour of the Egyptian people who brought their government down, through social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Just like the Media helped in getting the message out, BBC, CNN, Local as well as International news.... The whole world came together and brought down a government, and it was the power of the Egyptian's beleif and determination that they were able to take advantage of the technological advances around us and do what they did,

Thank you to the people, not to any social networking site,

The real name of the girl should be Egyptianaaa, could be Tahrir Square , could be Cleopatra !! Good luck to all, With Respect

Thread:Comments:Mars Opportunity rover passes distance milestone/Mars probes and the way to go.

They asked whether I have an opinion on the Mars rovers; well, I have been a space enthusiast since my childhood (years before Sputnik!) and I really approve the probes and robot vehicles wherever they send them. The Mars jobs are proud examples of just how great the things are that can be done on shoestrings when they deserve really serious support instead of the pittances that pinheads, parasites, and politicians dribble their way when it is convenient. People could run a halfway decent space programme just on what they could save by doing something rational about scrapping the war on drugs (not that I am a drug liberal, just that the current idea never could have worked for anyone but the crooks and parasites.) You and I are paying, big time!

Another thing about the Mars programme; the idea of manned Mars missions is not the stupidest idea that I have ever run across, but that is just because the competition is so formidable; the only places for human space programmes are :

In space (a few, not very many at this time; Spacelab, in spite of its wrong-headed, wasteful, humiliating record, is to my mind justified after a fashion because we need the engineering skills we no doubt are learning from it, and we will have to get out there sometime, somehow, and those skills will not arise Athena-like from hangover headaches.)

Secondly we should be exploring our options to colonise Mercury and Venus, but those are a long way down the line, even though they are vital to our species in the long run. Maybe asteroids, comets and wandering rocks would offer rewards too, but that is something we would have to learn from robot probes.

Mars? Mars??? What does Mars (or Luna FTM) have to offer for manned missions? Nothing; less than nothing, a dead loss, a ginormous red negative on the bottom line. Huge expenditure with no hope of significant payback. The same expenditure on robot craft including probes, telescopes, monitors etc would yield huge, huge rewards throughout the Solar system and beyond the heliopause, and prepare us to go where the real rewards await us; nearer the sun and towards the rewards of the resources offered by the solar wind and the inner planets.

But meanwhile, those Mars probes done good! Think about them and what they have to tell us.

Scottish singer Jai McDowall wins fifth Britain's Got Talent series

June 7, 2011

, a Scottish man who works as an and performs a singing act, has been declared as the winner of the  of televised talent competition , broadcast on ITV1 in the United Kingdom. The final took place on Saturday night. As the winner of the show, McDowall will receive a prize of 100,000 (164,270, 112,252), as well being able to participate at the - which will be attended by  senior members - later this year.

In the final, McDowall - who lives in the village of  - had sung , which was originally performed by. McDowall's victory was calculated via a public telephone voting system. The number of votes he received was a margin of under three per cent greater than the act who achieved second place: a 12-year-old male singer named Ronan Parke. According to , Parke had been considered the most likely act to win this series by bookmakers. A short time after his victory was announced, McDowall commented that he was feeling "absolutely amazing, fantastic...it's so much more, absolutely so much more". When interviewed afterwards, Parke said he "loved it, thank you to everyone who voted. Congratulations, Jai." Simon Cowell acknowledged "there was going to be a shock result" and that McDowall "wasn't one of the favourites coming in but tonight we could feel he nailed the song. He came in believing that he could win and I think he's a worthy winner." Meanwhile, on-air, judge admitted that she "really, really wanted Ronan to win."

The finale consisted of one programme featuring the finalists performing, which was broadcast from 1900 - 2100 (1800 - 2000 ) and a second programme, announcing the positions of the finalists; the latter was broadcast later in the night, from 2130 - 2200 BST (2030 - 2100 UTC). The programme also featured performances from two guests. , who achieved second place in the of ', performed ' on the first programme. US singer-songwriter, scheduled to appear as a judge on ', appeared in the second show and performed ', the latest single to be released from her.

In the run-up to the final, five semi-finals were broadcast live on ITV1 each night from Monday to Friday. A total of 41 acts appeared between them. British stand-up comedian and American actor  made their debut appearances on the show's panel, alongside British actress Amanda Holden, who has judged for all the series so far, and British music executive, who only judged for the semi-finals and the final.

Earlier in the week, an unidentified Internet blogger, who stated that they were an employee of music corporation, claimed that the programme had been unfairly pre-arranged due to Parke allegedly being familiar with Cowell and for two years, already having a record contract, as well as prior arrangements being made for his appearance, including his clothing, hairstyle and behaviour. Parke achieved the largest number of public votes in the semi-final he appeared in on Monday, allowing him to earn his place in Saturday's final.

On the fifth Britain's Got Talent semi-final on Friday, Cowell addressed these allegations and publicly denied them, stating: "There has been an allegation made in the papers - not in the papers actually, on the internet by somebody - that Ronan Parke had a previous recording contract with my record label, that I'd met him beforehand, both of which are complete and utter lies. The first time I met Ronan was the first time he appeared on this show. He entered the show of his own accord. He's 12 years old. This is a deliberate smear campaign."

In a statement, Syco - a British entertainment company which Cowell is the of - responded by claiming that "[t]here is no truth in this story whatsoever. Ronan first came to Syco/Sony's attention when he entered this year's competition. Syco/Sony Music will not hesitate to take whatever legal action is appropriate to prevent further publication of these unfounded allegations." The Metropolitan Police Service have also reported that "[a]n allegation of malicious communications was made to Kensington and Chelsea police on Thursday 2 June" and that "[t]he allegation is being considered." In an interview with , Maggie Parke - Ronan's mother - called the allegations "laughable" as there "couldn't be further from the truth". "There's no foundation in it whatsoever," said Maggie.

In the final, Parke performed a cover of the song  and placed second in the contest, behind McDowall. However, British tabloid newspaper  has reported the intentions of Sony Music Entertainment to provide a record contract for the 12-year-old singer, allegedly valued at £1,000,000 (US$1,641,681, €1,123,711). Speaking to the paper, a source familiar with Cowell commented: "We are not going to let malicious claims about Ronan impact his entire career. That would not be fair. The fact is, he is a little star. He’s like our . He launched his career on the internet. He is self-made." Musical manager claimed that Parke "will be the most successful BGT winner ever, bigger than Bieber. I'd take him to, straight to ." A source related to Britain's Got Talent cited the aforementioned fix allegations for Parke's failure to win the series, mentioning: "Sadly, the result had nothing to do with Ronan’s talent. A lot of people believed the completely false smears on the internet and wanted to punish Simon as a result. The public are against him at the moment. This was their revenge."

A London-based act named New Bounce achieved third place in the competition. Their act consists of four male singers: Mitchell, aged 16, 12-year-old MJ, Kuan, aged 13 and James, aged 12. In the final, the group performed a cover of the song . Simon Cowell subsequently compared their potential to that of, who have achieved number 1 on music charts, claiming that "[t]his is a group that would work in the real world".

Other acts who appeared in the final included Michael Collings, who is also a singer and plays a guitar for his act. Razy Gogonea performed a form of breakdancing known as. James Hobley was also an act who danced, performing contemporary dance routines. Steven Hall was another dancer, albeit one who performed for comedic effect, dancing to the sounds of various famous pop music tracks and lip-syncing the lyrics. Les Gibson performed a comedy act involving him, with Cowell, McIntyre and Hasselhoff amongst them, as well as , who host the programme. Paul Gbegbaje and Jean Martyn were both musical acts, with the former playing the piano and the latter using an organ to make music. Gbegbaje played piano music which he had composed himself, while Martyn performed a medley of songs, amongst which was the John Travolta and song . Martyn sang along to the song but was not clearly audible due to the absence of a microphone during her performance. She later explained that her performance had been previously rehearsed without the singing included.

Below is a table addressing the rank the finalists of the fifth series of Britain's Got Talent achieved in Saturday's final.

Well, they set a "prime" high priority mission for the rover to accomplish, with the optimistic intention to carry out further exploration beyond the designated lifespan. It's more technical than anything and most spacecraft function past their lifespan, such as the probes, which continue to function after their launch in the 70's.

French broadcasters barred from saying "Facebook" or "Twitter" on air

June 5, 2011

The French institution of regulation of broadcasting media has recently prohibited the use of the words "Facebook" and "Twitter" on television or radio broadcasts; except where these social networks are a central part of a news report.

The regulation, issued by the (CSA), cites a 1992 statute governing the relationship between journalists and advertising, sponsorship, and "teleshopping". Mentioning the words "Facebook" or "Twitter" on air, in the eyes of the CSA, constitutes "clandestine advertising". CSA spokesperson Christine Kelly explained her organization's desire to set a level playing field when it comes to social networking: "Why give preference to Facebook, which is worth billions of dollars, when there are many other social networks that are struggling for recognition," she said. "This would be a distortion of competition. If we allow Facebook and Twitter to be cited on air, it's opening a Pandora’s Box — other social networks will complain to us saying, 'why not us?'"

Broadcasters now may not tell their listeners to "find us on Facebook", but rather "find us on social networks". However, they would still be allowed to name the social networking sites when either is involved in a news story.

contributor Matthew Fraser sees this action as a form of animosity towards US culture: "Facebook and Twitter are, of course, American social networks. In France, they are regarded — at least implicitly — as symbols of Anglo-Saxon global dominance — along with Apple, MTV, McDonald’s, Hollywood, Disneyland, and other cultural juggernauts. That there is a deeply-rooted animosity in the French psyche towards Anglo-Saxon cultural domination cannot be disputed; indeed, it has been documented and analysed for decades. Sometimes this cultural resentment finds expression in French regulations and laws, frequently described, and often denounced, by foreigners as protectionism."

's Chris Matyszczyk, on the other hand, suspects that Frenchmen will hardly miss the explicit references to social networks tacked onto the end of broadcasts. "I am confident that not one single French citizen will miss the now standard cliche at the end of each broadcast entreating every viewer to please keep in contact with the news station on one or other of the American social networks."

EF-3 tornado strikes western Massachusetts

June 5, 2011

Three tornadoes struck western Massachusetts on Wednesday according to the 's (NWS), Massachusetts office, the biggest and longest being an EF-3 on the according to meteorologists at the agency.

The EF-3 tornado was described by the NWS in a statement as a "very significant tornado" which "will be noted not only for its intensity, but also for the length of the continuous damage path". A tornado is considered an EF-3 when its winds exceed 135 mph (218 km/h).

The tornado which began in the community of, Massachusetts tore a path of destruction on its 39 mile (63 km) course through western Massachusetts, killing four and injuring 200. After passing through Westfield, the twister continued into, Massachusetts ripping roofs from buildings and causing a few structures to collapse.

It then crossed the into, Massachusetts, the state's third largest city, where it caused extensive damage in the south side of the downtown area damaging commercial brick buildings and destroying many homes throughout the city.

From Springfield, the tornado passed into the towns of, Massachusetts and , Massachusetts where wide deforestation was caused by the tornado, including tree bark being stripped from remaining trunks. Furthermore, the center of Monson suffered widespread damage with many homes completely destroyed. The twister continued into where it caused more deforestation and continued from many miles when it reached the  where numerous aircraft "were lifted off the ground and into the woods east of the airport."

The tornado continued until it reached the southwest part of, Massachusetts where the tornado dissipated. Overall, over 19 communities reported damage. Massachusetts Governor declared a state of emergency and ordered 1,000  soldiers to respond to the area to help with relief efforts. Looting has been reported in the areas affected by the tornado.

Two smaller EF-1 tornadoes touched down in Wilbraham and North Brimfield mostly in wooded areas. The North Brimfield tornado traveled 1.3 miles before dissipating and the Wilbraham one traveled 3.6 miles before dissipating.

Tornadoes are uncommon for the New England area and Massachusetts, however, they have happened before. One of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history occurred in, Massachusetts, the state's second largest city, in 1953 where an F-4 tornado tore through the city for 80 minutes, killing over 90 people.

Thread:Comments:Gay couple elected prom king and queen in Maine's Sanford High School/Shame

Although I do not live there anymore, I am proud to say that I was born and raised in Sanford/Springvale. When I read this article, my heart sank. I've travelled around this country and all around this world and have come to expect to see this sort of thing in Europe or California, but not in my own hometown. Two Primary Critiques: 1) The only religious "authority" quoted was from the UCC, which is a famously far left-wing denomination. Last time I checked, Sanford/Springvale is still mostly Roman Catholic.  Did this reporter from the Sanford News bother to ask a priest what he thought of all of this?  I think you would have gotten a very different response.  The quote from the UCC "minister" is completely distortive of the values of my hometown. 2) This was a vote of the kids. And kids are heavily influenced by the media. This sad event in my hometown should be a warning to parents there and everywhere to monitor carefully what kinds of messages their kids are receiving on television, from popular music and the Internet. The fact that the kids voted as they did is an indictment of the wider society, who has taught them, under the cloak of the term "tolerance" that every kind of behavior is acceptable, when it is not.

Talk:French broadcasters barred from saying "Facebook" or "Twitter" on air

Type of rocket hit a U.S. installation
Rockets hit a U.S. installation. All media seems to be barred from saying the type of rocket. Can Wikinews create an article on the type of rocket? For example if an aircraft carrier shows up at a town near you, the media usually report on the type of aircraft carrier. The public has a right to know.

 * While wikinews can create an original report, its not likely that your request will be fulfilled. Because if the primary sources cannot get the information, neither will we. It is also not certain if the type of rocket is even newsworthy, warranting an article. Also, this has nothing to do with the article, I think you lost your way to the Nato story.

NATO deploys helicopters in Libya

June 7, 2011

The United Kingdom and France have begun helicopter attacks against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's military forces in Libya, as part of the NATO campaign to protect civilians. The helicopters were launched from the British ship HMS Ocean and the French assault ship Tonnerre, and attacked a radar installation and a military checkpoint near. Whilst in a separate mission, helicopters destroyed two ammunition bunkers in central Libya.

"The use of attack helicopters provides the NATO operation with additional flexibility to track and engage pro-Gadhafi forces who deliberately target civilians and attempt to hide in populated areas," NATO said in a statement. "NATO's operation is being conducted under the, which calls for an immediate end to all attacks against civilians and authorized all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in Libya."

The Libyan government has been under international pressure to step down after it had been accused of killing civilians indiscriminately with mortars, snipers, and bombings of suspected rebels in areas like Tripoli and. The government was also accused last month of using Red Cross Helicopters to evade the no-fly zone enforcement to bomb targets in Misrata.

What on earth are you wittering on about stats? This isn't Wikipedia, those are the stats as-at date of publication.

Do you make a habit of revising history, or demanding others do such?

Thread:Comments:University of Chicago's Mansueto Library suffers power outage/Comments from feedback form - "Is this article really newswor..."/reply (3)

I admit that it has an element of "Small-earthquake-in-China-no-one-hurt" and I probably would not have passed it if I had been the editor. In fact the only reason I did read it was that I was curious to see what it contained that justified its inclusion. Answer: nothing really -- it is reminiscent of much of the news on TV, where not only is everything that any celeb does covered as news, but so is the sight of the gate where an associated vehicle might or might not appear some time soonish, that might or might not be carrying the celeb.

So who are we to be picky?

OK, I suggest that we work a bit on the yawn factor, but OTOH, an aspect of this story does give me cold chills; I am increasingly worried about how infrastructurally dependent we have become. It not only shows how helpless we are every time a lift (elevator for the trans-Atlantics) gets stuck, or a train loses signal power, but every time a nuclear power station loses coolant. The things we take for granted are hair raising. A correspondent told of how a girl colleague when Titanic was located on the sea floor, asked why people hadn't sent out Boeings to rescue the passengers and crew (well, just the technical aspects of that one are a bit gob-smacking, but...) He pointed out to her that this had happened in 1912. She says: "So?"

Now, that was an apparently expensively-educated first-world young adult. What sort of news items was she equipped to understand at all? I wonder how many people in that library had a clue about what was going on, how power could fail, or why, or how many aspects of the library's operation were designed to deal with such minor factors.

Which amounts to how much more than nothing, in terms of newsworthiness? That is arguable, but it is a pretty poor news consumer who cannot take the trouble to get something out of whatever he has invested reading time in. Such as this comment for example.

'Unfounded and unsubstantiated': London policemen cleared of beating Muslim

June 6, 2011

A jury last week cleared four officers from London's Metropolitan Police of assaulting a Muslim arrested on suspicion of al-Qaeda involvement. After trial their lawyer described the charge as "unfounded and unsubstantiated" – but in 2009 the police said Babar Ahmed, 34, had suffered "a serious, gratuitous and prolonged" assault.

Ahmed has been previously paid £60,000 in a civil case, which the jury was unaware of. After one hour of deliberations, they acquited Pc Roderick James-Bowen, 40; Pc Mark Jones, 43; Pc Nigel Cowley, 34; and Detective Constable John Donohue, 37, of assault occasioning.

The four officers claimed at trial that Ahmed's wounds were either self-inflicted or caused during legal restraint during his December 2003 capture. They said he had fought hard against arrest. The prosecutor contended the four officers, from the specialist, "punched and [beat Ahmed] on the floor," calling him a "fucking bastard" and a "fucking cunt."

"On the floor the assault continued as his wife called out for the police to stop," Jonathan Laidlaw, prosecuting, told the jury. This was followed, he claimed, by a visit to Ahmed's prayer room, where he was positioned as if praying and asked "Where is your god now? Pray to him."

The prosecution alleged further abuse against Ahmed in a police van en route to the police station, with Ahmed saying at police station he was attacked again in an area not covered by  surveillance. He was left, in the words of Laidlaw, with "areas of bruising, reddening and grazes to [his] head and neck, bruising to the chest, areas of bruising to [his] back, extensive bruising and grazing of the arms. In effect, there were injuries all over the victim's body."

The defence noted that MI5 bugged Ahmed's house and a recording of the arrest failed to show elements of the alleged attack. James-Bowen told the court of a "ferocious" fight with Ahmed, who used "significant force." Jones told the jury his superiors had informed him Ahmed had been trained in both armed and unarmed fighting.

Less than a year earlier, a similar operation in Manchester resulted in an officer stabbed to death by a suspect now serving life in prison. The four officers dealing with Ahmed had been warned their suspect posed a similar threat.

Speaking outside court, their solicitor, Colin Reynolds said the men were now able to "[get] on with their professional lives" following the dismissal by the jury of "unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations." Local media had been barred during trial from reporting that, between the two of them, Jones and James-Bowen had been accused of a total 40 assaults from 1993 to 2007, all of which have been rejected. Jones was previously tried for assaulting two teens in the back of a police van and yelling racist abuse at them, but was cleared.

Fiona Murphy, who represents Ahmed, was critical of the Independent Police Complaints Commission. "We now call upon the IPCC to put its abject failures in relation to this case to one side and to give proper consideration to the misconduct aspects." Ahmed released a statement, saying, "Today's verdict means that no police officer has been held to account for this abuse. Therefore I urge the Metropolitan police to bring disciplinary proceedings against all officers who were personally involved in the assault – and those who turned a blind eye." His father read it out at a post-trial press conference.

Ahmed was never charged, but was re-arrested in 2004 and has spent the last seven years in custody facing extradition to the US. The US seeks to try him for fundraising for militancy amid claims he is a member of al-Qaeda; though initially a ruling in favour of extradition was reached an appeal is pending.

Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC, who oversaw the trial, expressed support for Ahmed's position detained without trial: "I express the hope that his ordeal as a man in detention in this country for a number of years without trial is brought to an end as soon as possible, either by his extradition or by his release. It is no concern of this court as to which, but it is a matter of concern and I would have thought should be a matter of concern to the public at large, quite apart from Mr Ahmed, that here is a man who has been in custody for literally years without knowing what his fate is to be."

Talk:'Unfounded and unsubstantiated': London policemen cleared of beating Muslim

As you might expect when reviewing, much of the background information has been lifted from the previously-reviewed prior article. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:20, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Confusing sentence
"Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC, who oversaw the trial, expressed support for Ahmed's position detained without trial: [ quote....]" (emphasis added)

I'm not sure what this is trying to say. Does this mean that Rivlin supports Ahmed's detention? The quote itself seems to indicate otherwise. It seems as though there's at least a preposition missing from the italicized part. "expressed support for Ahmed's release from detention without trial", perhaps?

Casey Stoner wins 2011 Catalunya MotoGP

June 6, 2011

Australian rider has won the 2011 Catalunya MotoGP, marking his third win of the season. The victory moves him closer to championship leader, who placed second in the race. American came in third, while —who had the pole position—suffered a bad start and finished in sixth.

Stoner, who led for the majority of the race, said, "Jorge got off to a good start and I had to wait until the end of the first lap to overtake him and then he couldn't stay with me, fortunately." Catalunya is the fifth race of the 2011 season; current standings have Lorenzo leading with 98 points and Stoner only seven points behind.

Lorenzo commented on the result, saying, "It was really tough to fight with Casey—I tried to live with him as many laps as possible, but my rear tyre was sliding, so second place is good for us."

Fifteen riders started the race but this was brought down to only thirteen after Japanese rider collided with  during the competition, taking down both riders. Neither of the men were injured in the accident and Aoyama apologised to de Puniet after the race.

Vanuatu denies announcing recognition of Abkhazia

June 5, 2011

Vanuatu, a small island nation in the Pacific, has denied recognizing Abkhazia as an independent nation. The announcement comes only days after it was reported that Vanuatu had signed an agreement to recognise Abkhazia.

Abkhazia has been fighting to break away and gain independence from Georgia. So far only Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and another tiny island state, Nauru, have announced the recognition of Abkhazia.

The permanent representative to the United Nations for Vanuatu,, released a statement saying "I have asked my capital whether this is true and they have denied it emphatically. We don't know who is responsible for declaring that this is true. As far as we are concerned we are dealing with Georgia, not Abkhazia," and "It is defamation for our country. This is disrespect".

Officals from Abkhazia maintain Vanuatu recognized the nation, saying Kalpokas may have not heard the news. , Abkhazian foreign minister, said negotiations started with the Premier of Vanuatu three months ago and on May 23rd the Prime Ministers of each nation signed a document that was transported via air freight between the two nations.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Georgia has also denied seeing any document relating to the recognition. He said "The only way we can check to see if it is correct is to ask the representatives of Vanuatu if it is correct or not. For us that contact is the ambassador of Vanautu to the United Nations."

Thankfully, the article is locked to prevent people like you trying to rewrite history. History is uneditable, though many politicians and corporations doubtless wish it weren't.

I also find it amusing you can come in screaming demands with umpteen exclamation marks, and then act offended when someone dares to be almost as rude as you.

Remember that the BBC has rules about this too, although they aren't always strictly followed. Blue Peter famously had to refer to Sellotape as "sticky backed plastic", and there's the stock phrase "other brands are available".

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