State of emergency declared in Kingston, Jamaica

May 24, 2010 A state of emergency has been declared in, the capital of Jamaica, after gunmen besieged and fired at police stations, injuring at least two police officers and a civilian, killing another man. Rioters have erected barricades in the city and one police station was set on fire when it was abandoned after officers ran out of ammunition.

The violence comes after the Jamaican authorities announced that they would extradite, an alleged drug lord, to the United States on drugs and firearms charges. However Coke is seen by members of the impoverished neighbourhood as a "godfather" like figure, who fulfils roles that the government does not, and his supporters have vowed to protect him, one demonstrator stating "we are willing to die for Dudus".

The Jamaican police accuse the alliance of gunmen from communities across the island state of a desire to "launch coordinated attacks on the security forces" and urged citizens to evacuate the Tivoli Gardens and areas of the city.

Jamaican Prime Minister called the attacks "a calculated assault on the authority of the state" and promised that "[t]he criminal element who have placed the society under siege will not be allowed to triumph".

Thanks for the info and advise much appreciated - should I re word this news article under a different title if that is the main problem??

Regarding your article
I tagged it with advertising because it seemed rather promotional and not adhering to our WN:NPOV policy, reading more like a press release than an objective, serious news article. We generally don't like using colloquialisms like "set to take on the world", as they don't sound professional and frequently are subjective based on personal opinion. Take a look at the style guide for more info about how we write here. Thanks for your understanding, Tempodivalse [talk]  16:23, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi. Did hover your mouse over the little arrow at the top of the page and click "Move"? That should bring up the move window. Just type in a new title for your article, a reason in the box below, and submit - don't worry about the warnings, if you ever make a mistake it can easily be undone. That's the beauty with wikis :) Tempodivalse [talk]  14:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Your article is not to be published, because it faults our neutral point of view policy, which your article clearly fails, and we do not publish stories 2-3 days old, and they are considered . Please consider your actions. --Diego Grez return fire 03:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Irish Melkite~enwikinews

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

The article carries several, possibly related, stories. The discovery of bodies would constitute a single report, the addition of other unrelated stuff detracts from the issue and leaves me wondering is their a connection I cannot see.

US and South Korea to conduct naval exercises in response to warship sinking

May 24, 2010Following a report blaming North Korea for the sinking of a South Korean in March, the United States and South Korea plan to hold joint naval exercises "in the near future."

The exercises are planned to focus on anti-submarine patrols, as well as improving both country's ability to detect shipments of nuclear material, which are currently banned. According to analysts, the patrols are not intended to serve to intimidate North Korea; rather, they are considered a gesture of support towards the South. The announcement marks the first response from the US military to the incident, although economic measures were announced earlier today.

Several hours before the announcement of military patrols, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak announced economic measures against North Korea in response to the attack. The measures, endorsed by the US government, include the following:
 * Ending trade between the two Koreas;
 * Preventing North Korean vessels from entering South Korean ports or waterways;
 * The resumption of a Cold War tactic known as "psychological warfare," including propaganda broadcast at the border and the dropping of leaflets from balloons;
 * Requesting the intervention of the United Nations

The moves are considered the most aggressive steps South Korea could take short of war. In a statement, President Lee said that "[w]e have always tolerated North Korea’s brutality, time and again. But now things are different. North Korea will pay a price corresponding to its provocative acts. Trade and exchanges between South and North Korea will be suspended."

The United States has not said what measures it will take in response to the incident beyond the announced naval patrols. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to meet with President Lee on Wednesday, after which she will announce the US response.

Clinton did say, however, that "[t]he Republic of Korea can continue to count on the full support of the United States. Our support for South Korea’s defense is unequivocal." She is currently in China, for talks between the US and Chinese governments.

North Korea has continually denied its involvement in the warship's sinking, and the country's military released a statement warning that "[i]f [South Korea] sets up new tools for psychological warfare such as loudspeakers and leaves slogans for psychological warfare intact, ignoring our demands, we will directly aim and open fire to destroy them."

A North Korean military commander told the state newspaper that "[m]ore powerful physical strikes will be taken to eradicate the root of provocation if [South Korea] challenges to our fair response."

A South Korean 1,200 tonne  of the  (ROKN), the, sank March 26, 2010 near the disputed  with North Korea. Of the 104 aboard, 46 seamen went down. The multi-national Joint Civilian-Military Investigation Group (JIG) investigation determined that a shockwave and bubble effect from a non-contact underwater horning North Korean torpedo explosion caused the naval vessel to split apart and sink.

He was tremendously well-liked in the business and has been in the entertainment business his whole life".

Alan spoke to the BBC in 2006 speaking about his puppet. He said "I'm not one of those ventriloquists who thinks he's real. When I finish my work I put it back in the tool box and I don't take it out again until the next job."

Talk:US and South Korea to conduct naval exercises in response to warship sinking

Review of revision 1027494 [Passed]
Should it not be "Alleged sinking"? 95.34.175.206 (talk) 07:33, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Not really, since only North Korea is denying the sinking took place. --118.210.213.223 (talk) 07:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

No. Even North Korea agrees there was a sinking - they just deny they were the ones who sank it. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 10:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Better picture than US flag? Not a US-orientated story. --92.27.19.189 (talk) 20:12, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

6.5 magnitude earthquake hits Acre, Brazil

May 25, 2010 A 6.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in, a Brazilian state, at 16:18:29 UTC (11:18 local time), United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported. It had a depth of 565.3 kilometers.

The epicenter was located 125 kilometers east-southeast of, Brazil, 330 kilometers east of , Peru, 460 kilometers south-southwest of , Brazil, and 2700 kilometers west-northwest of Brasilia, Brazil.

A civil defence service spokesman in Cruziero do Sul reported to Times Live that the quake was unnoticed. "This zone suffers a lot of earthquakes, but the last one we really felt was 20 days ago. We didn't register any disorder or damage on the surface," he said.

"Generally speaking, quakes more than 500 kilometres deep don't leave signals in the surface, they are only detected by instruments," said an official of Brazil's Seismological Observatory to AFP.

New BP oil spill plan

May 25, 2010

The British energy company BP will be attempting a "top kill" on the leaking Deepwater Horizon oil well by firing a mud and cement mixture into the blowout preventer on the sea floor later this week. If successful, the oil well will be closed off with cement. A backup plan in case of failure (there is an estimated 30–40% chance of failure) would be another containment apparatus.

BP has been using the oil dispersant to disperse the oil film into small droplets which mix with the seawater. A riser insertion tube inserted into the largest oil leak site is collecting between 1,360 to 2,000 barrels of oil per day. Two relief oil wells are also currently under construction for what is hoped will be a permanent solution to the oil spill. This pair will take about 90 days to complete. $500 million will be forthcoming from BP for the gulf spill's impact on the environment and damage to regional ecosystems as far as where water currents may spread the oil. BP also put forward a ten-year research plan to study the long-term effects of the oil spill on the environment.

Controlled surface oil burns and skimming have removed some of the oil spill. It is estimated that 5,000 barrels of oil a day are leaking from the ruptured pipe 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below sea level. A Natural Resources Defense Council marine biologist, Lisa Suatoni, said that only about 7 to 10 percent of oil from the spill was cleaned up in 1989.

Louisiana Governor wants an emergency permit for dredges which will contain the pollution. Homeland Security secretary,, is seeking viable options which may be more effective and better for the environment.

“I am angry and I am frustrated that BP has been unable to stop this well from leaking and to stop the pollution from spreading. We are 33 days into this effort, and deadline after deadline has been missed,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior.

"This is a complex operation requiring sophisticated diagnostic work and precise execution. As a result, it involves significant uncertainties and it is not possible to assure its success or to put a definite timescale on its deployment." said BP. "We’re doing things that have never been done before at that kind of depth, so it’s very fluid. We’re not going to do it until we’re completely sure it’s right."

The oil rig Deepwater Horizon suffered a gas explosion and sank April 22, 2010 off the coast of Louisiana resulting in 11 persons missing (and presumed dead) of the 126 on board. BP and its business vendors were completing a new oil well at the time, constructing a layer of cement in the well to reinforce it, which resulted in the.

Wikinews:Briefs/May 24, 2010

Promo
Today on Wikinews : A state of emergency declared in Kingston, Jamaica; the black boxes from the airliner that crashed in India have been recovered; North and South Korean tensions heat up; and a 13 year old summits the highest peak on Earth.

Today is Monday, May 24th, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and this is Wikinews.

State of emergency declared in Kingston, Jamaica (0:30)
A state of emergency has been declared in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, after gunmen besieged and fired at police stations, injuring at least two police officers and a civilian, killing another man. Rioters have erected barricades in the city and one police station was set on fire when it was abandoned after officers ran out of ammunition.

The violence comes after the Jamaican authorities announced that they would extradite Christopher Dudus Coke, an alleged drug lord, to the United States on drugs and firearms charges. However Coke is seen by members of the impoverished Tivoli Gardens neighborhood as a "godfather" like figure, who fulfills roles that the government does not, and his supporters have vowed to protect him, one demonstrator stating "we are willing to die for Dudus,".

The Jamaican police accuse the alliance of gunmen from communities across the island state of a desire to "launch coordinated attacks on the security forces" and urged citizens to evacuate the Tivoli Gardens and Denham Town areas of the city.

Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding called the attacks "a calculated assault on the authority of the state" and promised that "[t]he criminal element who have placed the society under siege will not be allowed to triumph".

"Black boxes" pulled from Air India plane wreckage (1:50)
The black boxes from an Air India flight that crashed into a valley near the southern Indian city of Mangalore Saturday, killing 158 of the 166 on board, have been found by investigators. The flight data recorder was recovered late yesterday and the cockpit voice recorder was located today.

At the end of Sunday, 146 of the 158 bodies have been identified, and all have been recovered.

According to reports, the plane touched down at Mangalore's Bajpe airport, overshooting the touchdown point by several thousand feet with one tire not hitting the runway at all. This was followed by sudden braking occurred, the airliner's wings hitting a neighboring cliff, and the plane careening into a heavily forested ravine where it then burst into flames.

The black boxes record communication data, technical information such as speed and altitude, as well as conversation in the airplane cockpit, which could help investigators determine why the jet crashed. This data is, according to one investigator's statement, "vital in finding information about key details like the last moments of the flight and whether there was any error from the pilot's side. The box will be brought to the accident lab of the Director General of Civil Aviation in the national capital where it will be opened and to find out what exactly went wrong,".

The Air India Express Boeing 737-800, which had departed from Dubai of the United Arab Emirates, was bound for Mangalore in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The Bajpe airport has a "tabletop" runway which means it is set atop a hill surrounded by a deep gorge. The airport, which was constructed in 2006, has seen over 32,000 successful landings since opening.

Tensions between North and South Korea are heating up.

US and South Korea to conduct naval exercises in response to warship sinking (3:43)
Following a report blaming North Korea for the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel in March, the United States and South Korea plan to hold joint naval exercises "in the near future."

The exercises are planned to focus on anti-submarine patrols, as well as improving both country's ability to detect shipments of nuclear material, which are currently banned. According to analysts, the patrols are not intended to serve to intimidate North Korea; rather, they are considered a gesture of support towards the South. The announcement marks the first response from the US military to the incident, although economic measures were announced earlier today.

Several hours before the announcement of military patrols, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak announced economic measures against North Korea in response to the attack. The measures, endorsed by the US government, include the following:

* Ending trade between the two Koreas; * Preventing North Korean vessels from entering South Korean ports or waterways; * The resumption of a Cold War tactic known as "psychological warfare," including propaganda broadcast at the border and the dropping of leaflets from balloons; * Requesting the intervention of the United Nations

The moves are considered the most aggressive steps South Korea could take short of war. In a statement, President Lee said that "[w]e have always tolerated North Korea’s brutality, time and again. But now things are different. North Korea will pay a price corresponding to its provocative acts. Trade and exchanges between South and North Korea will be suspended."

The United States has not said what measures it will take in response to the incident beyond the announced naval patrols. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to meet with President Lee on Wednesday, after which she will announce the US response.

North Korea has continually denied its involvement in the warship's sinking, and the country's military released a statement warning that "[i]f [South Korea] sets up new tools for psychological warfare such as loudspeakers and leaves slogans for psychological warfare intact, ignoring our demands, we will directly aim and open fire to destroy them."

A North Korean military commander told the state newspaper that "[m]ore powerful physical strikes will be taken to eradicate the root of provocation if [South Korea] challenges to our fair response."

Body cemented in barrel found in Toronto harbour (6:13)
In Toronto, Ontario, police are currently investigating human remains which are encapsulated in concrete and found in Lake Ontario. A barrel holding the concrete-encased body was found offshore at the Toronto waterfront.

Detective Justin Vander Heyden stated that the barrel holds "a victim of murder, encased in concrete", and that he has "a good idea of who's in the barrel" but conclusive information should be forthcoming by Tuesday from the coroner's office.

Ontario provincial police (OPP) are also investigating two other bodies. Human remains were found in a construction area near Barrie and a body was found near Huntsville in a roadside ditch.

Ontario security has been increased for the June 26-27 G20 summit at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and the G8 summit in Huntsville in preparation for the ensuing arrival of international leaders and delegations.

Nicolaus Copernicus buried again (7:12)
Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was buried for the second time yesterday, in the Catholic church of Frombork, Poland. Copernicus is considered the founder of modern astronomy, and known for declaring that the Earth revolved around the Sun. In his time, Copernicus was considered a heretic due to his theory, which was published shortly before his death.

His body was discovered and exhumed in 2005 by Polish archaeologists in a nameless tomb in the same church. After the extraction, the body was sent for DNA testing, which confirmed it was Copernicus, who died in 1543.

British ventriloquist Ray Alan dies at age 79 (7:51)
British ventriloquist Ray Alan has died at the age of 79 in his sleep, according to his agent.

Alan was best known for his sketches with his puppet, Lord Charles and he received the majority of his fame in the 1950’s and 60’s appearing on several children's television shows including the serial The Good Old Days. Later in his career he worked as an entertainer on the QE2 Cruise ship and he stopped work in 2008 due to ill health.

Peter Pritchard, Alan’s agent for 30 years, released a statement saying that “Technically he was regarded as Britain’s top ventriloquist."

In 2006, Alan spoke to the BBC about his puppet stating that “I'm not one of those ventriloquists who thinks he's real. When I finish my work I put it back in the tool box and I don't take it out again until the next job.”

California teen becomes youngest to conquer Everest (8:44)
Jordan Romero, a thirteen-year-old alpinist from Big Bear Lake, California, is the youngest person to have summited Mount Everest, according to reports circulated by the Associated Press quoting a spokesman based in the United States. The expedition included the boy's father, stepmother, and three Sherpa guides.

Romero ascended 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) breaking the record for the youngest climber on Everest previously set by a 16 year old from Nepal.

"It's something I've always wanted to do before I die — I just happen to be doing it at this age. I happen to be going for a world record. But I just want to climb it," Jordan told AFP reporters before embarking on the trek. On the same day, mountaineer Apa Sherpa, from Nepal, scaled Everest for the 20th time breaking a personal record.

It is anticipated that additional information will become available once the summit team returns to camp on the Tibet side of the mountain.

Finally, in sports and continuing our coverage of Australian Rules Football,

Australian rules football: 2010 VCFL Country Championship - Bendigo vs. Gippsland (9:41)
the Gippsland Football League's representative team traveled to Bendigo to play the hosts as part of the Victorian Country Football League Country Championships over the weekend. The match was part of a double header with Murray Football League playing Bellarine Football League in the curtain raiser.

The VCFL's Country Championships is an inter-league competition where each of the sixteen major leagues as well as the Mallee, Horsham & District, Geelong & District and Heathcote-District leagues are ranked from one to twenty. A league is promoted if they win, demoted if they lose.

Kane Fraser (Sale), Kal Killoran (Maffra) and Tim Aitken (Traralgon) were called into the Gippsland team after injuries and illness to Sale forward Brenton Martin, Morwell coach Adrian Cox and Traralgon's Micheal Geary.

Scores are quoted as goals-behinds (total). Goals are worth six points, behinds are worth one.

Inaccurate goal kicking from Gippsland cost the visitors the match as Bendigo won 15–11 (101) to Gippsland's 12–20 (92). Had three of Gippsland's behinds gone through the goals, they would have won by one goal (six points).

Dwayne Holt with five goals and Chris Dunne with two goals were the only multiple goal kickers for the visitors. For Bendigo, Justin Maddern with four goals and Grant Weeks and Steven Stroobants with two goals each were the multiple goal kickers.

On this day in history (11:17)
In 1930, Amy Johnson lands in Darwin, becoming the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia after beginning her journey on May 5th for the 11,000 mile flight.

Washington politician Dino Rossi to announce US Senate bid

May 25, 2010

Former Washington Republican state legislator is to announce on Wednesday that he is running for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democratic Senator. The story broke Tuesday morning with reports that Rossi had begun hiring senior campaign staffers including Pat Shortidge, who most recently worked on Marco Rubio's Senate campaign in Florida.

While Rossi failed twice at winning the Washington State governor's office in 2004 and 2008, a poll by the University of Washington in early May 2010 showed that a Senate race between Patty Murray and Dino Rossi would be close. Meanwhile, several other Republicans in Washington State have already declared their intentions to run against Murray. A Rossi announcement this Wednesday could cause some turmoil within the Washington State Republican party, as other candidates have already gathered key endorsements and are moving forward with their campaigns.

On August 17, 2010 Washington State will have a primary election where the two candidates who get the most votes will advance to the general election in November.

Slipknot bassist Paul Gray found dead in hotel room at age 38

May 25, 2010

, American and  of the heavy metal band, has been found dead in his hotel room in Iowa. His body was found at around 10:50 Monday morning by a hotel employee. Police investigating the death said that no foul play was suspected.

Chris Diebel, the spokesman for the hotel where Gray was found, released a statement. He said “Gray checked into the extended-stay hotel on Saturday and was scheduled to check out today”. He added that Gray had “stayed at the hotel before and was remembered as being a quiet and respectful guest.”

Gray started with Slipknot when it formed in 1995. They released, in 1996, their first album, which sold over a million copies worldwide. The group has received seven nominations and won one in 2006 for “Best Metal Performance” with "". Slipknot became very popular and famous for its artistic live performances and the iconic masks that all band members wore in public. Gray was known by his fans by either his band number #2 or his nickname “The Pig”. Along with drummers and, Gray was one of only three original members of Slipknot that still remained in the band.

Fellow musicians paid tribute to Gray, with many of them releasing statements after his death. , from the band, said: "everybody seemed to think he was in good health again, so it came as a big shock that this had to happen. It's pretty surreal. He had the biggest heart of anyone I knew and would give anyone the shirt off his back."

An autopsy, including toxicology reports, is due later today.

FU BP!

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

Plane crashes into Toronto office building

May 26, 2010

A  aircraft crashed into an office building in, a town near Toronto, at 12:30 p.m. local time yesterday. Both people on board were killed.

The aircraft, which crashed into the roof of the two-storey building at Woodbine and Hooper streets, was engulfed in flames. Witnesses say that it looked as if the pilot was trying to find somewhere to land and that the aircraft was trailing smoke and rolled before it crashed.

First reports state that the pilot and passenger were killed on impact, and the 14 employees at Thinkway Toys manufacturing all escaped the two-storey building and explosions from the crash.

The crash site is near where many  and flight training flights occur.

Musician David Byrne sues Florida governor over campaign song

May 25, 2010 , the former lead singer of 1980s band, is suing Florida governor  over the latter's use of the Talking Heads song "" in an election commercial. Byrne alleges that Crist made use of the song in a campaign commercial without the artist's permission, and that if permission had been asked Byrne would have declined it.

Byrne told the BBC that the lawsuit, in which the musician is claiming $1 million in damages, is "not about politics, it's about copyright". In his personal, though, Byrne commented: "Besides being theft, use of the song and my voice in a campaign ad implies that I, as writer and singer of the song, might have granted Crist permission to use it, and that I therefore endorse him and/or the , of which he was a member until very, very recently." Governor Crist is running for election to the as an.

The lawsuit was filed early Monday afternoon in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida in and has been assigned Case Number 8:10-CV1187-T26 (MAP). Byrne is represented by, the attorney who represented when Browne successfully sued  in a similar lawsuit in 2008.

The advertisement, which premiered on January 12, 2010 and has since been withdrawn from use, attacked politician Marco Rubio over reversals in Rubio's public positions. The video has been blocked on video hosting site "due to a copyright claim by ."

Governor Crist's campaign had no comment on the lawsuit.

Talk:Musician David Byrne sues Florida governor over campaign song

Original research
Laziest OR ever: I clicked on the web link from the Crist campaign to the video and found it had been blocked over copyright. --Killing Vector (talk) 17:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

 * OR? Where? Griffinofwales (talk) 22:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

 * It's not radio, TV or live webcast. Anyone can go to a street and look at a car crash there, but a report on it is still OR. It may be weak OR, it possibly shouldn't be OR, but the way we currently have ourselves set up it is OR. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 22:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

BOT-Superzerocool's usefulness
Hi. After looking at:
 * 1)
 * 2)
 * 3)
 * 4)

I don't think is useful for our purposes. No one really cares about the Market status right now, and that can be seen on these links. De-bot? Block? Open to thoughts. --Diego Grez return fire 01:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If those pages haven't been receiving any hits, it's because the business portals aren't being publicised at all. I personally like the stock market updates it provides, and wish we could integrate it back into the main page. I'd prefer keeping the bot running. At the very least, it's not doing any harm. Tempodivalse [talk]  01:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Ehhh... by request Diego, I will stop updating the market share data. Please, remove bot status for BOT-Superzerocool. Thanks everyone for this 2 years. --Superzerocool (talk) 03:01, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Superzerocool, I don't meant that. It was my fault that I looked the wrong links ;) The portals are seen/watched and the bot can stay. --Diego Grez return fire 03:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Superzerocool doesn't wants his bot there anymore. /me slaps himself. I should have checked first the link to the portal of Economy... --Diego Grez return fire 03:11, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * What? No! Superzerocool, don't get discouraged by Diego's comment, I personally consider it quite useful and would like to see it keep running. Please consider restarting it. :( Tempodivalse [talk]  03:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It was my fault! I posted a wrong link ... /me slaps himself again. --Diego Grez return fire 03:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Over 890 images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are fighting to impress the highest number of voters. From professional animal and plants shots, over breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying world's best architecture, maps, emblems and diagrams created with the most modern technology and impressing human portrays, Commons features pictures for all flavours.

Check your eligibility now and if you're allowed to vote, you may use one of your accounts for the voting. The vote page is located at: Commons:Picture of the Year/2009/Voting.

Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. In the final round, when only 20 images are left, you must decide for one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Wikimedia Commons is looking forward for your decision in determinating the ultimate featured picture of 2009.

Thanks, Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2009 --The Evil IP address (talk) 17:28, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Interview with Creative Commons Japan

Template from feedback form?
Why does the feedback form not put a template such as Commentary at the top of opinion pages that it creates? Is it for technical or editorial reasons? --InfantGorilla (talk) 14:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It assumes that the page already exists, and already has the template. (which in most cases is true, since the comment page is created during publish). It probably could be changed to check for the existence of comment page if it is an issue. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thought so. It is a problem when a user uses the feedback form on an article that was created before the current "Publish" scripts came into use.  I don't know how widespread this is, but I have added the template manually to a few — a task which has already become annoying.  --InfantGorilla (talk) 10:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I thought you said, the lead. Well. --Diego Grez return fire 15:06, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * FYI, I have updated the lead of the portal with the new news article. --Diego Grez return fire 15:09, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Please see discussion elsewhere! The general consensus is that portals are not to be used because they end up with stale leads. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:24, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If just people could care more with portals. Especially the continents ones. --Diego Grez return fire 15:26, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There simply aren't enough Wikinewsies to do a good job with Portals; hence they're generally considered deprecated and should not be used. In the past ones such as the New Zealand or Australia ones were very regularly updated, but those contributors have gone on to college or full-time work that severely limits the level of contributions they can make. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:08, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Alternate accounts

Somebody has suppressed the edit links beside section headings over at the front page of the WC. Somebody please revert; it locks out people like me who see no reason to wait for their connection to load the entire page every single time they edit.

Editing window scrolling itself like crazy (monobook, IE8)
Is there a way I can stop that? (apart from changing the skin or browser) Kayau (talk) 04:17, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Umm, I think that will be fixed in next software update (19334). In the mean time add the following to special:mypage/monobook.css (for momobook. change skin name as apropriate):

height: 390px; width: 500px; min-width: 100%; max-width: 100%; }
 * 1) wpTextbox1 {

Bawolff ☺☻ 05:04, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I disabled that on the Appeareance/Skin tab in My preferences. It's the last option. --Diego Grez return fire 14:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

British Museum back stage pass
I've signed up for the British Museum back stage pass event, and hopefully will be writing an article on the event for Wikinews, any suggestions for questions about Wikipedia-British Museum co-operation.--KTo288 (talk) 22:25, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not all that familar. But i do know that there is some serious work going on in that direction. You could try maybe asking someone from commons. Bawolff ☺☻ 15:42, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Portal namespace edits and Extension:FlaggedRevs
en.WN uses Flagged Revisions as one of the technologies to ensure our articles are not susceptible to vandalism, and of course this also includes the Portal namespace. What that means is, until your changes are 'sighted' by a reviewer, the change will not actually show up for most readers. Let me take a look at this and I will see what can be done. -  Amgine | t 23:43, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Oil spilled after ships collide in Singapore

May 25, 2010Around 2500 tonnes of oil were spilled into the today after two ships collided.

The two ships involved in the collision were the oil tanker MT Bunga Kelana 3 and the bulk ship MV Wally, which collided around thirteen kilometers south of Singapore. The tanker received an estimated ten meter gash on its left side, while the bulk ship sustained only minor damage. After the incident, both ships moved away from the spill and are now anchored.

The oil slick has moved north, and is now now encompassing an estimated four square kilometers around six kilometers south of Singapore. Emergency teams from both Singapore and Malaysia have been mobilized, and around twenty vessels are taking part in the clean-up operations. Both containment booms and chemical dispersants are being used to clean up the oil.

The spill is not expected to have any major effects on shipping; Victor Shum, an official from a consulting firm in Singapore, said that "[i]f it is contained within an oil retaining booms, it may not disrupt shipping traffic. There is no comparison. That one has really no limit at this stage." Shum also expressed environmental concerns, saying that "certainly the concerns are there. Even if it is contained, it will take some time to clean up."

No crew members from either of the ships involved were reported to be injured.

I'd far rather they petered out gradually and died at least a decade away. If Cyrus died tonight, we'd have to suffer days of news coverage followed by a heavily publicised tribute week. She'd still be going fuck knows how many years away.

Sudden deaths are better spent on politicians.

Well it'll only be about a couple of months of coverage if they did. Michael Jackson was a few months before everyone realised they didn't listen to his music before he died and just because he died it didn't make his music any beter. -Carnifex
