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 ALM. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name ALM~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 23:11, 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.

Khamenei visits head of Islamic Iraqi Council

May 26, 2007

Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei visited Sayyed Abdul-Aziz Hakim while the latter was receiving medical treatment in Tehran, Iran.

Earlier this month, Hakim was flown to Texas in the United States where he was diagnosed with lung cancer. According to his staff, he was coughing and had other ailments. Thence, he flew to Iran to receive medical treatment.

Hakim has been close to the heads of state of Iran and the United States which are bitter foes. Reports indicate that he went to Iran because he wanted to be close to his family members.

Hakim is a key player in Iraq's politics because his party, known as Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, holds many seats in Iraq's legislature. It receives guidance from Iran’s Supreme Islamic Jurisprudent Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. After the party changed its name recently from the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, there was speculation that Khamenei would cease to be the source of emulation for the party. Nevertheless, the party confuted such rumors.

Imam Khomeini and Khamenei in Islamic world
Imam Khamenei serves as the source of Islamic jurisprudence to places as far away as Nigeria among other places. This is very much like Imam Khomeini who commanded followers even in Africa and Europe across sectarian lines.

Ivory Coast militia destroys weapons

May 26, 2007

The Ivory Coast's pro-Government Great West Liberation Front (GWLF) militia destroyed their weapons in Guiglo on May 19, as part of an on-going disarmament policy trailing the Ivorian Civil War.

President Laurent Gbagbo, who attended Saturday's ceremonial bonfire of weapons, thanked the militia members. Denis Maho Glofiei, leader of the militia, stated that "We've realised that since the signing of [the Peace Deal], we have no more reason to exist," while handing Gbagbo two rifles.

The GWLF is one of four pro-government militias operating in the country. Rebel forces have long claimed that they refuse to disarm until the militias are disbanded.

While Abou Moussa, head of the UN Operations in Côte d'Ivoire oversaw the ceremony, the ceasefire was actually brought about by President Gbagbo's autonomous negotiations with rebel leader Guillaume Soro who was named as the country's new Prime Minister in April.

McLaren Mercedes drivers will start from top of 2007 Monaco Grand Prix

May 26, 2007

McLaren Mercedes drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton will start from top of FIA Formula-1 2007 Monaco Grand Prix at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo. During the first qualifying session Alonso stayed in the shadow of his young companion, but in second and third he showed his true potential and won the pole for tomorrow.

During the early free practice Adrian Sutil, driving for Spyker-Ferrari, overcameKimi Räikkönen on the wet but drying track by 0.127 s to lead that session. He was unable to compete on that level in qualification though. Kimi himself surprised the spectators by stopping his Ferrari car in the Rascasse corner just like Michael Schumacher did last year. Though he restarted his engine and drove to the pits, he was out prior to the Q3 session. Felipe Massa became the only Red driver to battle for pole, conquering the third position.

Election Date
A comment on the timing of the next election would be helpful. Are there fixed election dates in New Zealand? If so, when is the next scheduled election? If not, when is the next election likely to be called? Just to put some context as to the importance of the latest poll. If the next election doesn't have to be held for a couple of years from now, this latest poll may have less significance. The article isn't clear on this, as written.

Roadside bomb kills Canadian soldier, injures two others

May 26, 2007

The 55th Canadian soldier was killed in Afghanistan, when a large roadside bomb exploded. The blast killed Matthew J. McCully, 25, from, Ontario on Friday at approximately 8:00 a.m. local time.

Another Canadian soldier and an Afghan interpreter are in stable condition after also being wounded in the explosion, which happened in the, 35 kilometres west of , where the Canadians are based.

"The wounds suffered are non-life threatening and he has spoken to his family," said deputy commander of Canadian troops in Afghanistan, Col. Mike Cessford. "The Afghan interpreter was slightly wounded and chose to remain with Canadians doing his duties."

Earlier in the same day, a roadside bomb struck a Canadian tank, but no injuries were incurred. The second bomb killed McCully, who is part of the which teaches Afghan soldiers skills to fight in organized units, from.

They were fighting in located in the Zhari district west of Kandahar, Canada's latest offensive against the Taliban. Portuguese soldiers and British air support are also involved in the operation and the are in the lead.

"As this soldier was moving forward, with other Canadians and other Afghan soldiers, an IED was triggered and he was killed," Cessford said. "We lost a good kid today. We're thinking about him and our thoughts are going out to the family. It's a pretty sad day. He was doing what he needed to do, what he wanted to do, and he was working closely with Afghan soldiers to achieve the right thing for this country."

He is the 55th Canadian to die in Afghanistan. Canadian troops have been stationed in Afghanistan since 2002, and there are approximately 2,500 Canadian troops currently deployed there.

A farewell ceremony is now in the works at. He will then be brought by plane to Canada, where a funeral will take place with his family and friends.

"Matt McCully was a tremendously professional soldier," Maj. Peter Sullivan told  today at Kandahar Airfield. "I found him certainly to be a mature young man, and somebody whose company was enjoyed by all, so he will be greatly missed."

This same week, on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a surprise visit to Afghanistan. He met with Canadian soldiers and had a brief discussion with Afghan President and visited diplomats at the  in Kabul, Afghanistan. Journalists were told last Friday to dress for a warm-climate and if they made Harper's visit public they could be a "Journalist in jail."

"I would say it's very interesting they decided to really promote the fact that we're doing more than just military in Afghanistan," Harper said during his three-day visit.

Talk:Roadside bomb kills Canadian soldier, injures two others

Hey, FWN. Can you double-check the quoted number of Canadian troops originally stationed in Afghanistan. The article states 15,000, but it is unsourced and seems way too high. I'm pretty sure the most we (Canada) would have had were 3,000 to 5,000. Jcart1534 18:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've never thought we had that many troops, but I seen it on the first para of Canada's role in the invasion of Afghanistan and it's been their for a long time if you check page history. — Fellow Wiki  Newsie  18:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see that. But I think it is being misread. It says, "Of the approximately 15,000 Canadian troops who have been stationed in Afghanistan, 2,500 remain as the standard complement." The key words are: have been stationed. This is the total number since 2002, with 2,500 being the maximum number at any one time. I don't think we could muster together 15,000 troops! I went to the Canadian Forces website, looked through news releases and found this from 2002: "The Honourable Art Eggleton, Minister of National Defence, announced today that Canada is sending approximately 750 soldiers to Afghanistan as part of Operation APOLLO, the Canadian contribution to the United States-led coalition campaign against terrorism...The 3 PPCLI Battle Group will join approximately 1,700 CF members already deployed in South West Asia and is expected to operate in the region for up to six months." I am going to rework the sentence. Let me know if you disagree. Jcart1534 20:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Question...
Why is this article illustrated with an obsolete vehicle that I would be very surprised was ever sent to Afghanistan?

Six-wheeled light armored vehicles might have remained in the inventory but I am pretty sure it was only the newer, larger, eight-wheeled variants that were sent to Afghanistan. Geo Swan (talk) 02:20, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikinews talk:WikiBureau United States/Presidental candidate contacts

Some ideas
First of all, more US editors should be recruited here.

Second, wouldn't be an idea to put something on the main page maybe that says: "Do you have any questions for the US presidential candidates? Ask here!" and let readers post questions, so that they (1) become more interactive, and (2) we can say: question from James X from Washington, D.C. : What is you view on... ?

edit to Cutty Sark article
I noticed you added new content to the article, Cutty Sark blaze treated as 'suspicious', which is more than 24 hours old. Thanks for taking an active role in improving the content on this site. People like you who take an active role make Wikinews better for all of us — readers and writers alike.

One thing to note, though, is that Wikinews articles are not works in progress. Articles are considered historical documents reflecting the knowledge and understanding of the event at the time of publishing. Once published for more than a day or so, they should not be continually updated or modified, except to fix minor style issues (eg. spelling mistakes).

To report on new developments in an ongoing story, you can create a new article instead of just adding content to an already published, out of date article. That way your work will be seen by more people since readers tend not to revisit old news articles looking for updates. Remember, new developments that Wikinews did not report on when the story was ongoing and recent should not be added.

If a published article contains a factual error, please bring it to our attention at WN:ALERT, so that a Correction notice can be added to the article, which is otherwise left unchanged.

Again, thanks for helping improve this site.–Doldrums(talk) 20:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Monster Pig killed by eleven-year old boy

I was the author of the wikipedia article Monster Pig I picked up some of the information directly from that article. Would someone add the picture from the Wikipedia article to the Wikinews article, thank you.70.48.52.32 22:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Register an account and check the license on the picture is compatible with us. An example would be wikipedia as an encyclopedia being allowed to "borrow" an image from a news source where we can't as we're in competition.
 * Other than that, the cquote usage needs to go. We have two templates, Template:QuoteLeft and corresponding QuoteRight.
 * I also noticed a broken link in the sources section, I'll take a look at that myself - it may be something that should be under == External links == --Brian McNeil / talk 22:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There are several more of the links should likely be moved to the ext. links section. Only dated news sources should be listed under == Sources ==. I've (probably clumsily - it's late) taken out a couple of the cquote templates but kept the material. Once the rest are gone I'd suggest trying out the above-mentioned template. With those you leave the text in the article and duplicate it in the template. This helps break up the text and gives your quote attention that - hopefully - makes people want to read the entire article. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * The name of the article should be "Monster Pig" not "Monster pig" this is the name of the pig, and should be capitalized. 70.48.52.32 10:07, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

What kind of gun is the kid holding in the picture? Is it the same one he used to shoot it? It seems too low quality for me to see. Kvn8907 15:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikinews:Open Door Day

Original idea
If I look at Protesters demonstrate at US Coast Guard Academy by User:Ragesoss, I think we could promote doing OR on Wikipedia, I don't know what would be the best way but maybe there are more people out there willing to cover the 1 event that happens next to them in a year. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * You know what the solution is? Wikimedia needs an open door day, or rather a week. With a banner on the Wikipedia sitenotice saying: "All projects are holding open door days, check it out", and a link to various cool activities on Wikinews, Commons, Wikiversity, Wiktionary... People could follow a little tutorial and get started, get the taste of the project. We could have public chatting with Erik Möller about Wikinews, 'Write an article with Jimbo', 'interview Florence Devouard for an exclusive Wikinews interview', or 'cover the event near you'. Commons could have photojournalism courses, Wikiversity writing classes... One week that all Wikimedians are invited to broaden their horizon.

 * Anyone agree? Anyone interested to write up a proposal about in on Meta and spread the word?

--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * This sounds like a good idea. Wikipedia has huge visibility and something in the sitenotice there would help sister projects enormously. I'm not so sure how we'd go about proposing this, so I'd suggest starting that here and then transplanting it when we have more feedback.  --Brian McNeil / talk 22:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Canada, U.S. to tighten security between 'cross-border' library

May 27, 2007 The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the United States Border Patrol and local officials from both sides are looking into tightening security at a Quebec library. The library has been deliberately on the border of Canada and the U.S. since it was built in 1904 by American sawmill owner Carlos Haskell and Canadian wife Martha Stewart Haskell for availability to both countries.

At Haskell Free Library and Opera House, in Rock Island, Quebec, a black line diagonally runs across the center of the library to mark the international border. Ironically the line puts the seats in the U.S. and the opera stage in Canada.

Both towns share the same water supply, sewer systems and emergency crews thus they cross the border without going against the law. In total, there are three streets that cross the border and there are cameras on both sides to monitor illegal activity, but that doesn't tighten border security enough officials say.

"There's been an increase in illegal activity, both north and south, in the last little while," said operations officer for the Border Patrol's Swanton sector, Mark Henry."There have been some significant cases. This all fits in to the larger picture of the Border Patrol strategy to gain operational control of our borders."

"I don't think they're aiming at people who go pick up groceries and come back. It's people that want to use this in a bad way," says Cpl. Luc Bessette, a spokesman for the RCMP.

To enter the U.S. at Haskell Free Library and Opera House, in Rock Island, Quebec, all one needs is directions to go to Stanstead, Quebec, directions to the local library and walk through the doors; they have illegally entered Derby Line, Vermont, U.S. If one walks across from Stanstead St. to Derby Line they will be at the checkout in the U.S., go to the library from Derby Line to Stanstead St. and they have officially entered back into Canada. The international border also is on Canusa St., a residential street in Stanstead, Quebec and Beebe Plain, Vermont.

If someone wants to see their neighbour across the street, they would be re-entering the U.S. Anyone who comes from Stanstead St. to Derby Line, to visit their neighbour, must report to Customs or they could be sent to jail for illegally entering. However, residents do not need to notify Customs if they cross the border inside buildings.

Currently, the front door is in Vermont and if Quebecers couldn't enter the front they would have to go through the back way. If Americans wanted to park in the parking lot they couldn't because it is legally in Canada.

A meeting will take place this 19 June at 7 p.m. local time asking whether residents want to prevent people from crossing the border regularly or, in some cases, illegal crossings. During a meeting last Thursday in Stanstead, Quebec, local officials from both countries (towns) said border walls and fences will not be put up due to local residents' concerns. They say there are other alternatives.

There is also a movement to separate Vermont from the U.S. or to make it the 11th province of Canada, with three territories. The website "Vermont Canada" says the state should join Canada due to its remaining liberal policies as opposed to the U.S.

Talk:Canada, U.S. to tighten security between 'cross-border' library

At this point in time, this reads like a press release.  Thunderhead  ►  02:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

And the news is at the bottom of the article, it should be at the top and the background either in not as much depth and/or at the bottom of the article. --Nzgabriel | Talk 09:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Passport to cross into to check out books in Canada?
Hello my name is Kevin Carr from Toledo, Ohio and was wondering if you need a passport to check out books or look at books on the other side? Email me at krrcndy@yahoo.com Thanks. This will save some time for me.66.213.61.138 (talk) 23:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Third paragraph
editprotected

In the third paragraph, "Both towns share the same share water, sewer systems and emergency crews thus they cross the border without going against the law. In total, there are three streets that cross the border and there are cameras on both sides to monitor illegal activity, but that doesn't tighten border security enough officials say."

I believe it might want to say: "Both towns share municipal services such as: water, sewer, and emergency crews; which cross the border without going against the law. CaribDigita (talk) 00:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

✅ and ❌ The changes you asked for are far too extensive for an archived article. I changed it to "Both towns share the same water supply, sewer systems and emergency crews ..." because the repeating use of "share" is an obvious error. Cheers, --SVTCobra 17:23, 7 January 2018 (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 Imperium. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Imperium~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 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Monster Pig killed by eleven-year old boy

May 26, 2007

The mainstream press has recently uncovered the story of a wild pig, nicknamed 'Monster Pig' killed on May 3, 2007, by an eleven year-old boy, Jamison Stone. The location is disclosed as a 2,500-acre commercial hunting preserve called Lost Creek Plantation, outside Anniston, Alabama.

The wild hog weighed 1,051 lbs. and was 9 ft. 4 in. from the tip of its snout to the end of its tail. The hog's head was mounted on an extra-large foam form and measured 54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout. The balance of the hog is being turned into approximately 500 to 700 lbs of sausage. Jerry Cunningham, an Oxford taxidermist, said it was, "[the] Biggest thing I'd ever seen". Wildlife specialist Dr. Jim Armstrong commented on the size said, "You might get a boar that weighs 300 or so, [Monster Pig] that's a big pig".

Stone said he shot the pig eight times using a Smith & Wesson Model 500 with a holographic scope and ported barrel firing 350-grain Hornady cartridges. Stone had to chase the hog for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.

The web host godaddy.com for the official web site monsterpig.com advised Stone that the number of hits totaled 1,246,464 as of Monday, May 21st.

Two previous record holders are Hogzilla a wild hog that was shot and killed in Alapaha, Georgia, on June 17, 2004, by Chris Griffin on Ken Holyoak's farm and hunting reserve. It was alleged to be 12 feet (3.6 meters) long and to weigh 1,000 pounds (450 kg). Its weight was later determined to be closer to 800 lbs. A second involved local news media that reported on January 5, 2007, an 1,100 pound (500 kg) hog was shot in Fayetteville, Georgia. The shooter was William Corsey, who hung the specimen from a tree in his yard. A spokesperson from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said that large boars and feral hogs were common in South Georgia, but that no records are kept on them. The media latched on to the notion that this animal rivals the size of Hogzilla.

QUOTE There is also a movement to separate Vermont from the U.S. or to make it the 11th province of Canada, with three territories. END QUOTE

Does this mean Vermont would have three territories after becoming a province in Canada, or is it merely reminding us that in addition to its ten provinces (or eleven if Vermont were annexed) Canada has three territories? (A proposal in 1778 to make Vermont a Canadian province after it was denied representation in the Continental Congress alongside the thirteen original states fell through.) 2601:2:4D00:27B:30ED:FBDE:48C8:C301 (talk) 18:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Dalai Lama no-show at mass untouchable conversion in India

May 27, 2007

This Sunday it was hoped Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama, would preside over a mass conversion of Indian to Buddhism. According to a report in newspaper he instead sent a message of encouragement to the mass conversion ceremony in Mumbai.

The ceremony, attended by diplomats from a variety of Buddhist countries, was expected to have around 100,000 converts. Those attending the ceremony at the city's racecourse hope that the change of religion will help escape the stigma of being one of the country's untouchables.

Spurs Lose to the Jazz, game 3
Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating Spurs Lose to the Jazz, game 3, we need more articles like this. There are a few issues that must be dealt with before it can be published. The most important is that it currently only contains a bare minimum of information. Wikinews articles should be comprehensive. Try to answer the questions of who, what, where, when, why and how. Remember that your article will be read by people who may not know anything about the topic. You may find the Style guide and Content guide to be helpful.

All Wikinews articles must cite sources for the information they contain. Articles should cite sources by using the source tag at the bottom of the story after or before you write your story. If your article contains original reporting, you should read the information at original reporting. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to start or participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Keep at it and try to get this article published. Getting news stories that interest you published at Wikinews can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort. —Zachary talk 03:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Fernando Alonso wins 2007 Monaco Grand Prix

May 27, 2007 McLaren Mercedes drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton win the FIA Formula-1 2007 Monaco Grand Prix at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo from top two places of the starting grid.

As Ferrari driver Felipe Massa said after the race his car was completely "out of pace" and was not able to compete properly. While in the first half of the race he was trying to stay close to Hamilton, in the second part the gap increased to more than 40 seconds. This was due to the traffic, Anthony Davidson from Super Aguri-Honda team even got a drive-through penalty for ignoring the waving blue flags. Massa ended up on the third place. All the other pilots, starting from Giancarlo Fisichella from Renault lose at least one lap to the podium third.

Kimi Räikkönen, who started 16th because of his error in the second qualifying session, struggled hard and got up to the 8th place scoring one additional point to his championship standings. Scott Speed driving for Toro Rosso-Ferrari also was highly successful, the only American pilot attached himself to the rear wing of Finn and managed to get 9th from his 18th place.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Myanmar prayer rally calls for release of democracy leader Suu Kyi

May 27, 2007 About 200 supporters of detained Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi held a march and prayer rally in Yangon, calling for her release by the military-led government.

Pro-junta counter-protesters and plainclothes police disrupted the march by the members of the National League for Democracy, blocking the way to Shwedagon Pagoda, where Suu Kyi's supporters were intending to go pray. The NLD members retreated to their party's headquarters where they prayed and shouted slogans, "free Aung San Suu Kyi" and "release her now".

Suu Kyi, winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize and the leader of the NLD, has been under house arrest for more than 11 of the past 17 years, continuously since 2003, after her motorcade was attacked by a pro-junta mob. The country's ruling State Peace and Development Council reviews her detainment annually, and on Friday (May 25), the junta extended Suu Kyi's house arrest by another year.

The move by the ruling generals had been widely expected, but still drew condemnation from the United Nations, United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and neighboring member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

On May 27, 1990, Suu Kyi's party won elections by a landslide, but the country's military leadership, which took power in a bloody 1988 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations, never allowed the NLD to take power.

First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases: Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Thanks again! Bawolff ☺☻ 03:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating ABC News Headquarters Fire, articles like this are appreciated. There are a few issues that must be dealt with before it can be published. The most important is that all Wikinews articles must cite sources for the information they contain. Articles should cite sources by using the source tag at the bottom of the story. There are instructions for using the source tag when you click the "source" link on this message. If your article contains original reporting, you should read the information at original reporting. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to start or participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Keep at it and try to get this article published, which can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Fire at American Broadcasting Company's New York studios

May 28, 2007

A fire broke out in the WABC-TV studios at 66th Street and Columbus Avenue in New York, New York. It started at around 11pm EDT Sunday evening, and caused programming to be suspended for over two hours. The New York Fire Department has put out the fire, which is described as minor.

A witness says that a light bulb had set a curtain on fire just before the 11 o'clock news. News anchor Joe Torres said he heard "a light bulb blow with a loud bang". Moments later, the studio was evacuated.There were no injuries reported, but there was significant smoke and water damage to the studio.

Japanese cabinet member commits suicide

May 28, 2007

NHK has reported the death of Toshikatsu Matsuoka (62), the minister of agriculture, forestry and fisheries of Japan and a member of Liberal Democratic Party. According to the police of Tokyo Metropolitan and members of Matsuoku including his secretary he was found hanged in a room of the his apartment in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo at 0:18 p.m local time, say the Japanese media including Mainichi Shimbun.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki confirmed his death but gave no further comment, Asahi Shimbun reports.

Matsuoka has been in disputes and criticized by the opposition parties since March due to unclear descriptions of annual financial reports of one of his support organizations, which all lawmakers and ministers are legally required to publish. Also in May it was exposed he accepted donation from an organization controlled by Japan Green Resources Agency, which itself is a non-profit organisation settled and which should report directly to the government. Inappropriate financial management of JGRA has been recently revealed and two of it's high positioned staff were arrested on May 24. Mainichi says after those arrests, some lawmakers in the ruling party LDP claimed Matsuoka should resign from the minister seat.

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!--Mark Talk 15:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
