Cited by a major news paper as a source: "Whatever Councillor Joe Mihevc's flaws, false modesty is not among them. The Ward 21, St. Paul's councillor, facing a strong challenge from veteran politicians John Sewell and John Adams, answered a survey from Internet site Wikinews that asked, in part, what city council decisions of the past term were the least desirable. His answer? "Ward 21 was well served by City Council, " he replied. "No adverse decisions were made.""

 * Tip nr. 8: Keep Wikipedia sister sites like Wikinews on your radar. For one, Wikipedia's sister sites form part of the internal link network, unlike regular external links. Second, these sites get traffic, search engine visibility, and links too. You might even want to incorporate into your PR strategy getting coverage on Wikinews. Just like your PR firm or PR department would approach journalists with story pitches in the mainstream media, they can approach Wikinews correspondents as well.

 * Wikinews is a wiki in which users write news articles collaboratively. The project, established in 2004, is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that also supports Wikipedia.

Wikinews talk:Polls

Not a good method of developing policy
Polls are inherently divisive, and control the topic of discussion. They are not appropriate methods of developing consensus. - Amgine 02:04, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Totally disputed results
None of the polls resulted in a clear consensus. The only consensus I have seen is that the polls should end. - Amgine 22:09, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * While I'd rather see consensus via discussion, using a poll for exploring acceptable general guidelines seems reasonable as a later resort. The poll I'm submitting isn't to exclude options, but to include them. Karen 19:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

UN 'optimistic' on tsunami aid effort

January 3, 2005

The United Nations (UN) emergency relief coordinator has said that he is increasingly optimistic about the relief efforts under way in tsunami-stricken countries. However, he cautions that there are still major problems getting aid to the Indonesian province of. The BBC's Rachel Harvey, stationed in provincial capital, reports that the area has been completely cut off for a week. He also said that logistical bottle necks that hampered speedy delivery of aid were improving, with new coordination centers set up in Aceh, near the epicenter of the earthquake, and Jakarta. Regional officials warn that despite improvements, some places may not receive aid for up to two weeks.

United States helicopters, based on a US aircraft carrier stationed off the coast of western Aceh, have begun dropping food and supplies into isolated parts of Aceh province. About 12 helicopters are involved in the operation. "We are relying on the helicopter system because that is the only way we can reach the most remote areas," said Michael Elmquist, head of the UN disaster relief operation in Indonesia. According to the World Food Programme, some helicopters are unable to touch down because mobs of people run towards them for help. Supplies are often thrown out of the helicopters to the crowd below.
