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

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) 06:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Over 1.5m apply for British Live 8 tickets

June 6, 2005 The 'text lottery' for tickets to the London Live 8 concert began this morning. The concert, which is part of an international music bonanza taking place across North America and Europe, is planned to coincide with this summers G8 summit in Edinburgh.

Organised by Bob Geldof, the series of concerts are being held to raise awareness about Africa among young people. This is in contrast to the original Live Aid concerts which were more focused on raising money for Africa.

This evening a spokesperson for Live 8 revealed to the media that by 17:00UTC this afternoon, over 1.5m text entries had been received. Those hoping to win one of the coveted 150,000 tickets, are asked to text the answer to a simple question to 84599. The question is ''Which city is nearest to the G8 summit in July? A) Berlin, B) Moscow, C) Edinburgh. Texts cost £1.50 each and winners will be randomly selected on the 12th June by a computer. The first £1.6m of proceeds from the competition will be donated to the The Prince's Trust''.

The lineup for the London concert is as follows:

 * U2
 * The Rolling Stones
 * Paul McCartney
 * Coldplay
 * Madonna
 * Sting
 * Robbie Williams
 * Dido
 * Elton John
 * Keane
 * Annie Lennox
 * Mariah Carey
 * Muse
 * Scissor Sisters
 * Joss Stone
 * Stereophonics
 * REM
 * Velvet Revolver
 * Bob Geldof
 * The Killers
 * The Cure
 * Snow Patrol

United Kingdom, Czech Republic suspend referendums on EU constitution

June 7, 2005

Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary for the United Kingdom, said on Monday that the UK will not vote as planned on the new constitution for the European Union. "Until the consequences of France and the Netherlands being unable to ratify the treaty are clarified it would not in our judgment now be sensible to set a date," said Straw.

A British poll indicates 56% would vote "no" at this point if given a chance, while only 22% would vote "yes".

Following the UK's decision, the Czech Republic also suspended its referendum. Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek said that for his country it is "impossible at this moment [to have its referendum]. At this moment it is necessary to start with discussions about future of the European constitution, about the future of this process in the Czech Republic," said Paroubek, citing "strong opposition" to the treaty.

Other remaining countries such as Denmark, Ireland, and Poland could also suspend their referendums. French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder are pushing for the ratification process to continue.

The draft of the new EU constitution was approved in 9 other countries, before being rejected in referendums held in France on May 29 and in the Netherlands on June 1. The constitution requires the unanimous approval of all 25 EU countries by November 1, 2006 to take effect, a prospect that seems increasingly remote.

Rossi won't continue with legal appeals over failed bid for Washington State Governorship

June 7, 2005

Republican Dino Rossi, Washington State Gubernatorial Candidate in the 2004 election, said that he will not appeal the decision made today in Chelan County Superior Court by John Bridges after he ruled that the Republicans failed to prove Rossi would have won the election if illegitimate votes were not counted. “Unless an election is clearly invalid, when the people have spoken their verdict should not be disturbed by the courts,” said Bridges in his verdict. With the appeals over the closest gubernatorial race in U.S. history has finally ended.

“It’s an emotional day, it’s an emotional moment,” said Washington Governor Christine Gregoire. “I’m ready to move on. I want the state of Washington to be served by a full-time governor who is not being distracted by anything other than serving the citizens.” Bridges said he believed that 1,678 illegal votes were cast in the election, but Republicans didn’t prove those votes changed the outcome of the election, and that the only vote that was proved to be illegally cast for the governor’s race was one cast for Libertarian Ruth Bennett and four more cast for Rossi, ultimately still giving Gregoire a 133-vote margin.

Any registered voter of Washington State could still file paperwork to recall the election; however, they would have to prove Gregoire got in office illegally and get several signatures for it to appear on a ballot.

John Kerry's Military records and Yale transcript released

June 7, 2005

John Kerry's Yale transcript was released as a part of his naval records late last month.

A number of American news sources have drawn attention to the fact it shows that Kerry's grades were slightly lower than George W. Bush's. This is contrary to popular perception, which portrays Kerry as an "intellectual" and Bush as a "regular guy". Bush's transcript was published in 1999 by The New Yorker. Kerry earned a 76 percent cumulative average during his four years at Yale, while Bush earned a 77 percent his first three years and a similar average his fourth year under a non-numerical grading system. Both Bush and Kerry began their memberships in Skull and Bones while at Yale.

Getting sick of people posting the welcome message on my talk pages.

Hi, Please get more involved on wiki-news; we need more gutsy contibutors. Neutralizer 19:41, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And thanks for the supporting words on Talk:RAF officer refusing to serve in Iraq. I first replied when it was late and I was tired. When I saw the same guy had replied with his anonymous (and unsigned) non-sequitor, I thought I don't want to get into a shouting match with some anonymous punk. So I left it at that.
 * I see User:Mrmiscellanious didn't hold to his threat of leaving WikiNews. Damn. Can't wait for the next anti-Bush article to be watered down just like he did to President Bush may veto amendment that bans detainee mistreatment. Imroy 13:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Australian Portal
Hi Imroy.... Just letting you know that I've comletely redone the Australian Portal - it now displays articles grouped into days, the same as on the main page, and has a lead article. We can set our own standards on the Aussie portal - for example, we could ditch the whole "develop" and "publish" stages if we wanted to, or we could create an "australia-publish" stage, that would cause the article to appear as published on the Australian Portal, but not on the Main Page. Articles are still in the main namespace, however, and still have to be NPOV. Anyway, let me know what you think on the Australian discussion page. - Borofkin 23:41, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for re-englishing of the article about Vladivostok. -Svobo 23:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, can you let me know how to improve the article or how to rewrite it? This is my first news article on en WikiNews. Thanks for your help. --H.T. Chien / 眼鏡虎 (Discuss|Contributions) 12:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your opinion. Now in both Mac world or PC world, there is still not other video/DVD softwares can burn HD DVDs, the next generation DVD format, but Ulead VideoStudio can. I know Apple FinalCut Pro can edit high-definition video. Yes, that's true but it cannot burn HD DVDs. Is that qualified for newsworthy on this news? Thanks and best regards. --H.T. Chien / 眼鏡虎 (Discuss|Contributions) 16:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * After reading the talk page of the article, I decide to let it be deleted. I will check the content guide when I post another article next time. Thanks for your help. --H.T. Chien / 眼鏡虎 (Discuss|Contributions) 18:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Dont be a Dick?-Official Warning.
If you would read the definition of the "Don't Be A Dick" policy, you would notice that accusing someone of being a "dick", as you have done here, is a an "assumption of bad-faith" in itself and is a pretty clear example of a personal attack against me. It would be in your best interest to take this as a formal warning and change your behaviour, because I will be monitoring your edits and if I come across any more offensive language, I will resort to taking Administrative action against you.

Welcome!
Hi there,

glad to see that you've came from Wikipedia to work here too. I'd like to point out to you that WikiNews is under a different licence than Pedia, i.e. cc-by-sa-2.5 instead of GFDL. As you might know, the GFDL licence that wikipedia uses demands that content under that licence remains under the same conditions eternally: therefore, as unfortunate as it might be, we cannot simple copy text from Wikipedia! It came as a surprise for me too the first time I heard from it, but the decision to change the licence was taken by the Board already some time ago... So please do the same with Pedia as you do with news sources: rephrase the content into your own words!

Hope to see you around, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that information. I might have been aware of the license difference (in the back of my mind), but I wouldn't have thought about it for text. Certainly not for such a short piece of text! Wouldn't that come under fair-use rules or something similar? I'll remember to watch out for that in future. --Imroy 13:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Report finds over $1 trillion per year is spent on arms worldwide

June 7, 2005

According to a new report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), total world military spending was $1.35 trillion in 2004. The institute says that this is just 6% off the all time record, set in 1987 at the end of the Cold War. However this record could soon be shattered as spending jumped 5% last year alone.

In a stark example of the huge amount spent on the military by the United States, SIPRI revealed that almost half of all spending is by the US, $455bn or 47% to be exact. This figure is greater than the combined spending of the next 32 heaviest spenders. US spending on its armed forces now stands at 3.9% of its GDP, less than the 6% during the Cold War, but more than the 3% reported the previous year.

The top five spenders in 2004 were as follows:

 * 1) United States of America
 * 2) United Kingdom
 * 3) France
 * 4) Japan
 * 5) China

Ireland will hold EU referendum

June 7, 2005

Despite the strong 'no' votes in both France and the Netherlands, the Irish foreign minister Dermot Ahern has confirmed that Ireland will still hold a referendum on the proposed European Union constitution. This comes following the Irish rejection of the Nice Treaty in 2002.

Speaking to BBC radio Mr. Ahern said "We've made a decision based on the commitment that we gave when we put the constitution together in draft form." He went on to say "Over 50 percent of the population of Europe have already ratified the convention. What do you say to those people: 'Your votes mean nothing'?" (note that the only country where the constitution was directly ratified by the population and not by the parliament so far is Spain). Unlike in most European countries, in Ireland by law any change to the core treaties of the EU must be put to a referendum.

The constitution was agreed upon by EU heads of state earlier this year under Ireland's European presidency. It is backed by all major Irish political parties including the main opposition, Fine Gael.

Talk:John Kerry's Military records and Yale transcript released

Is this recent news? If so can we get the article expanded upon with some more sources? The two currently in use are making me think it is POV.
 * Especailly the "Kerry not as smart as you thought" one... --ORBIT 23:36, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll see if I can contact the JK team to send me some documents via email. It'll be hard to find a NPOV source on this, as those who are in support of Kerry are trying to cover it up, while those against are trying to push it up to front-page news.  Politics are screwy.  --Mrmiscellanious 01:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

At present, the article is over-emphasising a small part of the picture. As an examination of the "CVs" of the two, the article should probably mention military service  as well as all other aspects of their pasts. Also covering the "CVs" of other members of the administration and the opposition would help give a bit of perspective. Mentioning which of the news sources chose to use the unflattering picture released would be indicative, too. Mentioning that JK was considered to have beaten GWB in the debate earlier in the year is also significant. Finally collecting together some of the sources that suggested that JK is clever or that Bush is stupid would be informative. Mr. Jones 07:12, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) p.s. One other thing: mention that GWB commonly makes slips and JK doesn't, that this re-inforces the prejudices, but that the slips make some people view GWB as a regular guy.

Stowaway killed by aircraft landing gear; leg lands in homeowner's backyard

June 8, 2005

An airline stowaway, possibly of Senegalese origin was found dead this morning by U.S. customs and NY Port Authority personnel, his body badly mangled by the landing gear of a South African Airways aircraft.

A Nassau County woman returned home from work to find part of the man's leg lying on her lawn.

The identity and nationality of the man are not yet known. The flight on which he stowed away originated in Johannesburg, South Africa and made one stopover in Dakar, Senegal.

Britain's deadly bug possibly imported from U.S. or Canada

June 8, 2005

A hardy new strain of a deadly bacteria that has killed 12 elderly patients and infected 300 others in a British hospital may have been imported from either the United States or Canada.

The new variant of clostridium difficile, which causes severe diarrhea, broke out 18 months ago at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, and it's speculated that the bacteria might have been brought in by either an American or Canadian patient to the hospital's famed spinal-injuries unit.

Initial investigation by Britain's Health Protection Agency indicates that the new strain is similar to one circulating in the United States and Canada.

The spore-forming bacteria thrives in the intestines when the normal balance of bacteria shifts --- something that can happen after a dose of antibiotics --- and toxins are then produced, which can cause extreme diarrhea.

This new strain of clostridium is particularly resilient and has even shown resistance to certain disinfectants. It spreads by contact and can survive up to 70 days, living on hospital floors and toilet seats.

President Lula opens U.N. forum to combat corruption

The Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva opened on Tuesday the 4th Global Forum to Combat Corruption in Brasilia, Brazil. The encounter is expected to last from June 7 to 10.

Lula inaugurated the event in company of the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Undersecretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Maria Costa, and the Brazilian Federal Comptroller-General, Waldir Pires.

According to the organizers, the "Global Forum is the result of a worldwide policy to battle against corruption and money-laundering. In short, against those crimes that prevent the money collected by nations from being applied decently on behalf of the population".

The forum, is sponsored by the Brazilian government and the United Nations. Around one hundred delegations from around the world are expected to debate improvements in anti-corruption methods and international cooperation.

Pelé cries as his son admits to marijuana addiction

Edson Cholbi Nascimento, also known as Edinho, son of the Brazilian former soccer player Pelé was arrested by Brazilian police. He is accused of involvement with drug traffic. He and another 17 persons according to local newspapers and O Estado de São Paulo were arrested on Monday during a operation of Denarc, the anti-drugs police department.

Pelé contacted the son at the police station. Very sad, with tears in his eyes Pele said that he got surprised when he received the news that his son was arrested because of drugs. During a press conference on Tuesday he said that he doesn't understand why some people use drugs. "This must not be used as an excuse but you who accompanied my life since the beginning know of my fight against drugs, and you know my effort in making clear that this thing [drug] is not good for no human being", he said.

Edinho admitted that he is addicted to marijuana, but denied any involvement in drug traffic or other criminal activities.

Edinho wrote a note and released it through his lawyer today. In the note Edinho said that he "had no disposition or control of his thoughts, everything in search of satisfaction in drug, marijuana".

The note ends saying: "I realize how wrong and harmful is the way to drugs and I humbly recognize my situation as addicted and I ask help to everyone who loves me, my family, fans and forgive me because at some moment I became a not good example. Thank you, Edinho."

According to the authorities Edinho is being indicted by association to drug traffic.

The police operation conducted by Denarc arrested until now 52 persons in São Paulo and Santos. The main suspect is Ronaldo Duarte Barsotti de Freitas, known as Naldinho. He is accused of drug traffic and according to police is involved in a dispute with another two criminal organizations: the Comando Vermelho (Red Command) from Rio de Janeiro and the PCC (Fist Command from Capital) from São Paulo. Nadinho and the enterpriser Clóvis Ribeiro who was also arrested are considered by Denarc director the biggest drug dealers from the state. Clovis is suspected of being involved with the FARC.

Talk:Pelé cries as his son admits to marijuana addiction

delete my prior (oblivious) comments. Edbrown05 12:41, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that the common reflection of most recent studies is that there is no physical addiction associated with marijuana, and that most experts would deny a possibility that any sort of marijuana-related habit Pelé's son had probably wasn't the only thing that clouded his judgement. Utopianfiat 00:47, 9 Jun 2005 (CST)

Yea, I don't think getting addicted to marijuana is even possible. At least not physically addicted, only psychologically addicted. But one can get psychologically addicted to anything, food, gambling, sex. Didn't the minister of culture in Brazil recently admit to using marijuana?

I guess you can get psychologically addicted, but I have never met a marijuana user, who was psychologically addicted, and I know a quite a few heavy (who smoke marijuana once or twice a day) users of marijuana well, of whom one quit for a few days to calm down from a bad experience and another quit for two weeks to pass a drug test. The former seemed only to become slightly more irritable due to not having smoked marijuana. Tomservo 9:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

The UNHCR have said that 8000 refugees fled to Burundi, fearing reprisals during the Gacaca trial process (link to related story) but the Ministry of Local Government now claims that the figure is 2204. The minister, Protais Musoni, criticised UNHCR, saying that exageration would deter people from returning, saying it 'caused fear and made more others to flee the country.'

I'm in Kigali now and the conference is shaping up to be very exciting with participants from Burundi, the Congo and excellent speakers. I'm hoping to be able to submit reports as it goes along and perhaps they could have an 'exclusive' tag as i don't think anyone else will have them?

Background info for articles - prepared paragraphs
This section contains paragraphs that you may reuse in your articles as background information. They come from Wikinews articles and so are public domain. Feel free to add anything that you think will be useful.

Remember that if you reuse text from here, you are responsible for ensuring that it is still current, and that your entire article is NPOV with the included text.

Gacaca courts
The courts were set up three years ago, however so far their time has been taken up with trial runs. There are 10,000 courts across the country, and they are expected to take eight years to process all accused. Regular courts would have taken up to 100 years. The judges are untrained citizens elected by their peers, and questions have been raised about the fairness of the courts.

1994 Genocide
The 1994 Rwandan genocide was an eruption of ethnic conflict where Hutu militia, supported by the Hutu dominated government and encouraged by 'hate radio', attempted to ethnically cleanse the minority Tutsi. Despite numerous warnings the international community did not take serious action to prevent the atrocities, which included hacking people to death with machetes, and forcing people into buildings that were then destroyed with bulldozers. Estimates place the number killed at up to one million.

Background of Rwanda Newshut
Next week members of a network called Never Again will be meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, for a youth conference on genocide. I'll be there along with 15 journalism students from the University of Butare, other young people from around the world and experts on the genocide of 1994. We will be exploring history and the future.

One of the ideas for the conference was to have some sort of media project with students from the University of Butare as well as others involved in journalism, all of whom will hopefully be joining this page in due course. Thanks to the help and support of other Wikinewsies, the project has now crystalised into Rwanda being Country of the Week until 19 June. Which is very exciting indeed as it means we will have the whole world reporting on Rwanda as well as us at the conference (hopefully). More background is at my page.

I've set up this page so that there is a central place for all the newbies to play without making a fool of ourselves... All help is very much appreciated. I am also channelling contributions from the media group via email at the moment. When the week is over I should be able to draw some useful lessons for the Wikinews community on a project like this.

We have a Yahoo group, called Never Again Media, where we discuss issues relating to journalism and genocide. The group has arisen particularly out of concern about the involvement of the media in the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, where local media was directly involved in inciting genocide and the international media had a role in ignoring it (with some exceptions). More positively, we also recognise the role the media has in building society and giving a voice to the voiceless and through international networks we now have an opportunity to build new ideas about journalism. If you are interested in being involved leave me a message. ClareWhite 17:38, 9 Jun 2005 (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 Crestu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Crestu~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 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Atari Melbourne Project revealed

Australia's oldest video game development studio is working on a PlayStation®2 port of Eden Games' Test Drive: Unlimited, the latest in the Test Drive series.

Atari Melbourne House has been at the centre of recent speculation after head of studio Andrew Carter took charge earlier this year, and details about their current project have been limited.

A source inside the studio has confirmed that the title in development is a PS2 port of Eden's next-generation Xbox 360 game.

Although Melbourne House established a strong reputation for driving games with the acclaimed Test Drive: Le Mans (Sega Dreamcast), recent ventures away from the genre such as Men In Black II: Alien Escape and Transformers: Armada (targeted at the high end of the market) have failed to make an impact.

However, speculation about the studio's long term future took another turn this week when Atari CEO James Caparro resigned. Although the ambitious natural disaster themed The Big One was cancelled when former CEO Bruno Bonnell took a back seat in November last year, the project - known inside the studio as Bonnell's "pet" - might be revived now Bonnell has been appointed interim CEO in the wake of Caparro's resignation.

"Who knows, it might be [The Big One], it might be another port," the source said.

Two senior game designers have resigned from the studio in the past month.

Wikinews:Cite sources

Due to the time-limited nature of news articles, every piece of information in a Wikinews article must be referenced and verifiable. This is to ensure that everything we run is true, and that we have a trust-worthy reputation. The only exceptions are the obvious, e.g. France is in Europe, the Pope is a Catholic.

There are two central tenets to this policy:
 * You must cite your sources
 * Your sources must be verifiable

Citing sources
At the bottom of any article there must be a 'Sources' section, with every source used to write the article listed using the following format:

To format your text in the style demonstrated above, use this template:

To be clear, the fields are url, title, author, pub(lisher), and date.

If your source is missing one or more of these fields, leave a blank space after the "=". The title should be the original title, even if the source language is not English. Note dates are , per the style guide. Multiple independent sources are usually required and they should be listed newest → oldest with no spaces between the source templates.

In the case of original reporting, notes must be reproduced on the article's discussion (Talk) page.

Please do not use the Wikipedia style of inline references, as this is not at all appropriate for a news article, which you are — usually — expected to read in its entirety rather than scan for a fact and its reference. However, do feel free to provide hidden notes to assist reviewers in establish which facts came from where; this is especially helpful with longer articles.

Published sources must be verifiable
Only published sources that someone else could reasonably be able to check can be used. It is acceptable to link to sites that require free registration, but never those that request payment to view content on the site. The Research Desk may be useful if you're trying to make sure you have more than one source, or a generally accepted source for a story.

Previously published Wikinews articles may be used, provided they are recent enough that they have themselves passed through the system of independent peer review (roughly, since 2009). It is strongly recommended you mention the use of such articles on the talk page as they should be placed within the related news section (see the style guide for details) and so reviewers may not realise facts have been sourced from them.

Use the sources
Only cite sources used for information — do not add sources if you did not include any information from them.

Considering the review process
In the process of an article moving towards publication, it will be tagged with the review template to request independent review by a Wikinews editor. Due to this, it is essential that unused sources are not added to the article; this significantly increases the time to review.

Where long, numerous, or complex sources are used, it may be helpful to leave advice for reviewers on the article's talk page and/or within the article to guide them on what information is sourced from where. This significantly speeds up review and is deeply appreciated by reviewers.

An additional concern is non-English-language sources. These severely restrict the pool of potential reviewing editors. Non-English sources should be restricted to those absolutely essential, such as where there is only a single English source and the non-English source is required to corroborate the story and avoid potential copyright issues. It is strongly recommended you provide some guidance toward translation, or where such may be reliably and readily obtained, on the talk page. Human understanding is needed because automatic translation is not nearly good enough.

Non-English sources must clearly identify the language using the lang parameter of the source template. Example:

Danish Integration Minister's car burned

June 8, 2005

Copenhagen, Denmark - The Danish Integration Minister Rikke Hvilshøj's car was set ablaze outside her family-home on the morning of Wednesday 8 June. From there, the fire spread to the family's garage, and further on to the side of the house, damaging the roof above the kitchen and children's room.

At the same time, an e-mail was sent to several media agencies, where a group calling themselves "Action Group Beate" claimed responsibility, saying it is a "protest against the racist immigrational laws of Denmark". The police found the computer used for sending the mail within a few hours, and closed down the cybercafé whilst removing the computer.

Throughout the Danish political system politicians from both the ruling party and the opposition have expressed their outrage over the terrorism.

The insurance company is currently assessing the amount of damage done to the home, but so far they have made an estimate of £27.000, just for the house damages.

Michael Jackson fate in hands of jurors

June 8, 2005

A statement issued by Michael Jackson's defense attorney Tom Meserau will not delay deliberations in the Michael Jackson case. At 2200 UTC time on Wednesday, a judge in the case announced a statement that would be released an hour later. The statement was apparently from Jackson's defense attorney, which according to CNN states the following:

''I have not authorized anyone to speak or hold press conferences on behalf of Michael Jackson or his family. A gag order is in effect which the defense team will continue to honor.''

The statement follows the comment made by Jackson's spokeswoman Raymone Bain, who stated that she was forced to appear at the courthouse where Jackson's trial was being held. The statement came after a reporter accused Bain of appearing at a courthouse press conference when on unfavorable terms with Meserau.

Thursday will begin day five of jury deliberations in the trial which the pop star is accused of sexually molesting a thirteen-year-old boy back in 2003.

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

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

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) 06:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Google now worth over $80 billion

June 8, 2005

Internet search engine, Google, saw its valuation top the $80bn mark this week, making it the world's most valuable media company - ahead of Time Warner, Walt Disney and Viacom. Since its flotation on the NASDAQ in August 2004, it has seen its share price increase dramatically from $85 to over $280 today.

Despite being more valuable than Time Warner, which is worth $78bn, Google's annual sales amount to less than a 13th of the far more diversified and traditional media giant. Google's revenues are $3.2bn a year versus the $42bn a year that Time Warner generates. The gap in valuations is partly justified by investors based upon Google's much higher growth rate.

For comparison the top media companies in the world are, by market capitalization (as of June 6, 2005):

 * 1) Google; $80bn
 * 2) Time Warner; $78bn
 * 3) Disney; $55bn
 * 4) Viacom; $54bn
 * 5) Yahoo; $51bn
 * 6) News Corporation; $49bn
