[edit] Signature deletion warning
Please be aware that I intend to delete the signature template {{ss}} which you use per the deletion request. I'd also note the comments at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414 by one of the WMF developers, Brion Vibber, who says that "templates are disallowed in sigs" in response to the suggestion that not being able to use a template signature is a bug.
I'd therefore ask that you immediately update Special:Preferences to remove the template from your signature. By using this template, you have noted that having long signatures as part of a comment can be a nuisance. I'd therefore suggest that you greatly simplify your signature and carefully consider whether multiple links and different text styles really are appropriate.
I will delete the template after I've run my bot through the pages which it is used and substituted it to maintain the signature as per the template. Adambro - (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

- Editor's note
In the last few months activity on Wikinews has continued to decrease to an incredibly low level. There are hardly any new contributers joining and one of our best users, DragonFire1024 (talk · contribs) has gone on Wikibreak. However, some excellent articles are continuing to be written.

[edit] Re: Olympic highlights: August 9, 2008
Thanks! Feel free to add content whenever you like. I suggest you create a subsection for it first then edit that to avoid edit conflicts. The idea is that we will cover as many events as possible and then publish the article once today's events have finished.Anonymous101talk 09:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Expanding Ticker
Hi Matt, I tried to expand the ticker to my wiki ([1]). To reach this, I copied the part of common.js, common.css, ticker.js and the js for the stylesheet. I also made a source for the ticker like on your page but somehow it doesn't work. Do you have any idea why this could be?
