What is the "tron issue"? Could someone perhaps interview a representative from Wikimedia DE? Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 10:29, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * They aren't talking to anyone. The statement I just added is the most anybody seems to have at the moment. BTW somebody please look at this, I've no experience editing on en.Wikinews, and I'm neither familiar with formatting/style guides nor with procedures. Plus English is not my native language... &mdash;Dapete 14:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * What I can't work out from this is what is new news that isn't covered in the earlier story, Berlin court issues provisional order against the Wikimedia Foundation. That's interwiki'd to the German version which is dated today.  Has it been updated since the translation work was done? --Brian McNeil / talk 23:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I didnt see that article before, but there is nothing new in this that isnt in the other article - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 00:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
