Comments

• Each and every source on this is mis-dated.
• I have my doubts that the map will pass as PD on commons.

I fixed the dates of the sources. Read below about the map. --SVTCobra 23:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Map removed

I removed the map due to Windows Live's "Code of Conduct" which can be read here. In it they say:

“

We’d be delighted for you to use our Microsoft Virtual Earth API to create your own mashups—please take a look at the "Developers" section later on this page.

”

Here's the Developers section they refer to:

“

”

I think it is safe to say that Wikinews is in the business of distributing and/or transmitting (I highlighted those words in the above quote (not highlighted in original). --SVTCobra 23:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

needs cleanup

• "bird related activities" needs to be more specific.
• "Many commercial poultry owners ... prevent the disease from spreading further through Europe". does this refer to commercial poultry owners in the area? throughout Europe? is it "many" or "all"? if not all, then it is useful to say which ones.
• "has raised the bird flu risk assessment level" who has raised the threat level? for what region - Europe? Germany? France? the area where the dead birds were found
