The boy goes by "EpicNoseGuy" both at Enturbulation.org and in an appearance in a YouTube video. Cirt (talk) 07:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

N.B. even if someone publishes the boy's name, we likely should not. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Charges[edit]

Being issued a summons/citation is hardly the same thing as facing charges. --SVTCobra 09:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is wording per multiple secondary news/media sources. Cirt (talk) 10:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is UK law. He faces charges. Whether or not he'll end up in court is depending on how the CPS views it. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:29, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

I don't think that the image is fair-use. There doesn't seem to be any reason why a free version could not have been taken. Perhaps it is possible to get the owner of the image to release under a free license so that it could be uploaded to Commons. --SVTCobra 16:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That may be difficult to arrange but in the meantime I think that a newsworthy fair use rationale can be asserted for this image. Cirt (talk) 18:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Cirt (talk) 20:13, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cited in The Guardian[edit]

This story has gone around the world beneath such edifying headlines as "UK minor faces charges for calling Scientology 'cult' at protest"; and when you've finished wondering why we're such a pathetic country sometimes, we should endeavour to divine precisely what it is he was meant to have done wrong.

The exact title of this article was cited in this piece, and I think that this Wikinews article's title is unique and hasn't been used anywhere else. Cirt (talk) 05:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Featured Article[edit]

Since this was voted a featured article (It's been more than a week), somebody should add the "FA" tag to it. --WNewsReporter (talk) 07:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
