Hi,
I'm not really sure what's going on. I haven't been on Wikinews in several days, and my family and I have been out of the country for most of last week and this, so if there has been any recent vandalism or other activity associated with my account please notify Wikipedia and Commons, or meta or something, because it is not me and I have unified login and use the same account password, and I am also an admin at WP.
I will have to deal with it all when I get back to America but I'm not coming home til Saturday, and even then might not get online til I go back to work Monday.
I don't have any access to the internet right now; nomally I could use my cellphone but I don't want to pay international roaming data charges, and my mother doesn't own a computer. I will try to get to an internet cafe, but I have other things I.R.L. that I must deal with first that are more important.
Thanks for letting me know, and I'll also see if I have any WP admins in my email contacts to tell them to block my account.
Regards, Matthew Edwards

This is madness. I have been watching debate on ALERT, and I would like to express my displeasure at the way this has been handled. Without commentating on the individual merits of the case - there has been a massive overreaction. We may not be wikipedia, but I would expect we at least remain CIVIL in matters such as this. Community civil wars are never helpful.
I note that we tend to have a civil war like this, every so often throughout our history. In addition, every time, people are driven away. It is something, that I feel, needs to be worked on to ensure, this never happens again.
Anyway, I have an exam to sit :S

Good luck with that.
Wikinews! Now with added "fluffy bunnies".
