Hi, I'm one of the administrators and accredited reported on Wikinews. We've just unearthed a problem with one of our stories being plagiarized from another source. Unfortunately, you've mirrored it. Your version is at http://www.ecanadanow.com/us/2007/04/18/candle-light-vigil-for-victims-of-vi rginia-tech-shootings/ Our version at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Candlelight_vigil_for_victims_of_Virginia_Tech_s hootings will be deleted. And for comparison, http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=6385852 the original. Regrettably, this is one of the risks when allowing editing by anyone. The contributor responsible is new, and the problems he has caused will be explained to him. My apologies we didn't catch this before you copied our story, we appreciate having mirrors that expose our material in Google News. Regards, Brian McNeil

Planet Wikimedia reminder :)
by Erik Moeller 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

I would like to remind those of you who are bloggers to consider joining Planet Wikimedia, which has grown nicely in recent weeks: http://en.planet.wikimedia.org/ (Polish also active, German about to go live) It shows recent wiki-tagged posts from Wikimedians on one page. You can add your blog by putting a request for inclusion on: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia Included blogs should tag their wiki-related posts, or be exclusively about the topic. This policy has made Planet Wikimedia, in my opinion, highly on topic and useful, and I would love to see it scale to hundreds of blogs eventually. Hence, no exceptions. ;-) For those of you from smaller projects: Think of this as an excellent opportunity to promote the best work your project is doing, to get new people excited about it. As an example of this principle, take a look what some English Wikinewsies are doing in the "Original Reporting" group blog: http://wikinewsreports.blogspot.com/ If you don't have a blog yet, you can set one up easily, e.g. at: http://wordpress.com/ or http://blogger.com -- Peace & Love, Erik DISCLAIMER: This message does not represent an official position of the Wikimedia Foundation or its Board of Trustees.

Re: [Wikinews-l] Wikinews: Video Wikinews 2.0 produces first promo video.

From: Jimmy Wales <jwales(a)wikia.com> >What is the license on the music? I have permission to use extracts from the Track "When You're Down" under CC-BY Jason has fallen foul of "easier to ask forgiveness than permission", mainly because I was not clear enough in IRC. Anything uploaded to Commons should be deleted until I've got approved bits to go up and be used. Then people can go back to cutting songs in mid-bar. Brian McNeil.

The music was recorded in Hart Street Studios, Edinburgh and the credits are as follows: *Ciaran Bradley: Bass guitar. *William Cambell: Backing/lead guitar. *Andy Dunnigan: Lead/backing guitar. *Gordon Findlay: Drums/percussion. *Engineer: Roy Aitken *Produced by: The Dynamos, Roy Aitken, Brian McNeil. *English Wikinews Username: Brianmc *Name: Brian McNeil I want to thank Brian for enabling us to get this set of music. There are many tracks we are able to work from. This is currently our fsecond, but full Promo video.

English Wikinews Video 2.0 now On Commons and YouTube
by jason safoutin 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Video Wikinews 2.0 Promo now on Commons and YouTube I spent the past 3-5 hours making the initial video, only to screw it up in the end. But it was not a total loss as a user on the English Wikinews.org site User:Zachary, fixed my mess and went ahead and got it on commons. He also got it on YouTube. So...its not the best...but its fun and its a good promo IMO...What do you think...not bad for my first time scripting the animation? Jason --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding?
