Re Australia and China enter into Uranium deal

Hi Joann! Welcome to Wikinews.

I just saw your edit to Australia and China enter into Uranium deal, adding the {{npov}} tag. Can you explain why you feel the page violates the NPOV guidelines on the talk page of the article? Thanks! irid:t 01:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't see a justification for your tag, so I went ahead and reverted it. If you feel that the page still violates NPOV guidelines, feel free to let me know, or bring it up on the talk page of the article. Thank you! irid:t 01:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Spiacente per quello, sorry sorry sorry Joann 03:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I understand those sorts of kneejerk reactions to some anonymous guy telling you "how it is". :) Welcome to Wikinews. irid:t 03:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

NPOV tag on Protest outside Cole inquiry

Hi Joann... thanks for taking a look at the article Protest outside Cole inquiry. You've mentioned that you think that the article is unfair to the Australian government. Can you please explain this in some more detail on the article talk page? What do you mean by "unfair"? How is the article "unfair"? What needs to be changed in the article before it is acceptable? Thanks again.... - Borofkin 01:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Your edit

You asked in the IRC channel whether your edit to Template:Wn news was okay. I just looked and it was fine. Thank you for the welcome. :) irid:t 03:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
