Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?[editja]
I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.
The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.
Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).
However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.
We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we've heard in our discussions with community and team members.
Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.
All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.
You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.
We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:47, 16 Jannar 2014 (UTC)
Photos taken of members of the European Parliament[editja]
From Monday 3 February to Thursday 6 February a group of about 50 Wikimedians were present in the European Parliament in Strasbourg to take photos of members of the European Parliament. From about half of all members (766) of the parliament there have been photos taken during these days. Still a lot of them have to be uploaded to Commons. Also from members from Malta photos have been taken. A part from the pictures already have been added to articles on the various language Wikipedias, but many not. Please help us with that. If you add a photo in one language, it would be recommended to add the photo also to the articles in other languages.
The category with photos can be found on Commons here and includes also the other photos that have been taken by the group members during the project in Strasbourg.
On all the photos there is a special template to mark this project and gives more information about it. We would like to have this template translated into at least all the 24 official languages of the European Union and if possible also in other languages spoken in the EU. Can anyone translate this template from English (or German/French) to Maltese?
- You can do that by copying the contents of Commons:Template:WIKI loves parliaments/European Parliament 2014/en to Commons:Template:WIKI loves parliaments/European Parliament 2014/mt and translate the parts behind the = . Thank you!
In the past weeks on several Wikipedias users started a project to write all missing articles at least from the country a language is mostly spoken in, but certainly also from all other countries of the European Union. All members of the European Parliament have an article on at least one language version of Wikipedia, but on a lot of language versions their articles are missing and still need to be written. This writing project currently happens on for example the Dutch Wikipedia.
The project page for having been at the European Parliament is at Commons at Commons:Wikipedians in European Parliament. The project is part of a larger project to take photos from members of national and regional parliaments. In the past years Wiki loves parliaments was for example active in the state parliaments in Germany. Which parliament shall be next?
Thanks for the help! Greetings - Romaine (d) 15:20, 9 Frar 2014 (UTC)
Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014[editja]
On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.
We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.
You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa
Franco Trappoli[editja]
Bonju from Caselle Landi to all my Maltese Wikifriends!

Amendment to the Terms of Use[editja]
Hello all,
Please join a discussion about a proposed amendment to the Wikimedia Terms of Use regarding undisclosed paid editing and we encourage you to voice your thoughts there. Please translate this statement if you can, and we welcome you to translate the proposed amendment and introduction. Please see the discussion on Meta Wiki for more information. Thank you!

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments[editja]
I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.
Do you have an idea for a project that could improve your community? Individual Engagement Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation help support individuals and small teams to organize experiments for 6 months. You can get funding to try out your idea for online community organizing, outreach, tool-building, or research to help make Wikipedija better. In March, we're looking for new project proposals.
Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:
- Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials)
- Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)
- Coordinating access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for project management, consultants and materials)
- Building community and strategy for Wikisource (€10000 for organizing and travel)
Proposals are due by 31 March 2014. There are a number of ways to get involved!
Hope to have your participation,
--Siko Bouterse, Head of Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimedia Foundation 19:44, 28 Frar 2014 (UTC)

Catalan Culture Challenge[editja]
I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.
The Catalan-speaking world... Want to find out more? From March 16 to April 15 we will organise the Catalan Culture Challenge, a Wikipedia editing contest in which victory will go to those who start and improve the greatest number of articles about 50 key figures of Catalan culture. You can take part by creating or expanding articles on these people in your native language (or any other one you speak). It would be lovely to have you on board. :-)
We look forward to seeing you!

Changes to the default site typography coming soon[editja]
This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:
- April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
- April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live
This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.
For more information:
- Summary of changes and FAQ
- Discussion page for feedback or questions
- Post on blog.wikimedia.org

Request for a new article[editja]
Hi. I'm CharlieTheCabbie, an editor of the English Wikipedia who has popped by to ask if there is any possibility of requesting an article here please? I would like to ask if anyone would be willing to create an article on a Maltese criminal called "l'Imnieħru" (Mario Camilleri, Sr.), who was assassinated on July 17th 2013. I am interested in adapting an article into the English Wikipedia, but there is a lack of English language sources. Most of what I can find come from TVM's Aħbarijiet pages. Your help would be greatly welcomed. Thank you, CharlieTheCabbie (d) 20:31, 1 Mejju 2014 (UTC)
No one needs free knowledge in Esperanto[editja]
There is a current discussion on German Wikipedia on a decision of Asaf Bartov, Head of WMF Grants and Global South Partnerships, Wikimedia Foundation, who rejected a request for funding a proposal from wikipedians from eowiki one year ago with the explanation the existence, cultivation, and growth of the Esperanto Wikipedia does not advance our educational mission. No one needs free knowledge in Esperanto. On meta there has also started a discussion about that decision. --Holder (d) 10:41, 5 Mejju 2014 (UTC)
Media Viewer[editja]
Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.
I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.
Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 21:29, 23 Mejju 2014 (UTC)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads[editja]
Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.
Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have
- local "Tella' fajl" restricted to the "Amministraturi" group (for emergency uploads) and
- the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,
so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.
All this will get done around 2014-07-03.
- If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
- To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki[editja]
Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.
Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.
If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.
We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 21:54, 19 Ġunju 2014 (UTC)

IMPORTANTE: revisione dell'attività dell'amministratore[editja]
Salve. Recentemente la comunità globale ha adottato un nuovo regolamento riguardante la rimozione di "diritti avanzati" (amministratori, burocrati, ecc), della cui discussione la tua comunità aveva ricevuto notizia. Secondo queste regole, gli stewards stanno rivedendo le attività degli amministratori nelle wiki più piccole. Per quello che sappiamo, la tua wiki non ha un procedimento formale per togliere i "diritti avanzati" dagli account inattivi. Questo significa che gli stewards si occuperanno di questo aspetto secondo le nuove regole dell'attività di amministratore che si applicano qui.
Abbiamo determinato che i seguenti utenti rispondono ai criteri di inattività (assenza di contributi e azioni di registro per più di due anni):
- Srl (burocrate, amministratore)
Questi utenti riceveranno presto una notifica, che chiederà loro di iniziare una discussione comunitaria se vogliono conservare i loro diritti o alcuni di essi. Se gli utenti non risponderanno, i loro diritti avanzati saranno rimossi dagli steward.
Tuttavia, se la tua comunità vorrebbe creare un proprio regolamento in materia rimpiazzando quello globale, prendere un'altra decisione riguardo a questi titolari inattivi di diritti o ha già un regolamento di cui non eravamo a conoscenza, per favore informa gli steward su Meta-Wiki e sapremo di non dover procedere con la revisione dei diritti sulla tua wiki. Grazie, Rschen7754 19:15, 16 Awwissu 2014 (UTC)
IMPORTANTI: Reviżjoni tal-attivitajiet tal-amministraturi[editja]
X'hemm. Dan l-aħħar il-komunità globali adottat regolament ġdid rigward it-tneħħija ta' "drittijiet avvanzati" (amministraturi, burokrati, eċċ). Il-komunità tiegħek kienet irċiviet avviż fuq id-diskussjoni dwaru. Skont dan ir-regolament l-istewards qegħdin jagħmlu reviżjoni tal-attivitajiet tal-amministraturi fuq il-wikijiet iż-żgħar. Sa fejn nafu aħna, il-wiki tagħkom m'għandux proċedura formali għat-tneħħija ta' "drittijiet avvanzati" minn kontijiet inattivi. Dan ifisser li l-istewards ħa jieħdu f'idejhom dan l-aspett fuq dan il-wiki skont ir-regoli l-ġodda dwar l-attivitajiet tal-amminstraturi .
Iddeċidejna li dawn l-utenti jissodisfaw il-kriterji ta' inattività (l-ebda modifikazzjoni u azzjoni ta' reġistru għal iżjed minn sentejn)
- Srl (burokrata, admministratur)
Dawn l-utenti ma jdumux ma jirċievu avviż li jitlobhom jibdew diskussjoni fost il-komunità jekk iridu jżommu xi drittijiet jew id-drittijiet kollha li għandhom. Jekk ma jkunx hemm rispons mill-utenti, l-istewards ineħħulhom id-drittijiet avvanzati li kellhom.
Però, jekk intom bħala komunità tixtiequ toħolqu proċedura ta' reviżjoni għalikom minflok il-proċedura globali, tippreferu tieħdu deċiżjoni differenti dwar dawn in-nies li għandhom id-drittijiet imma huma inattivi, jew jekk diġà għandkom proċedura li ma ntbaħniex biha, jekk jogħġobkom għarrfu lill-istewards fuq Meta-Wiki biex inkunu nafu li m'għandniex nipproċedu bir-reviżjoni tad-drittijiet fuq il-wiki tagħkom. Grazzi, (firma)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions[editja]
The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.
If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects? We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups[editja]
There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.
We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.
It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Global AbuseFilter[editja]
AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Skont dan ir-regolament l-istewards qegħdin jagħmlu reviżjoni tal-attivitajiet tal-amministraturi fuq il-wikijiet li m'għandhomx proċedura formali għat-tneħħija ta' "drittijiet avvanzati" minn kontijiet inattivi. Sa fejn nafu il-wiki tagħkom m'għandux din il-proċedura. Dan ifisser li l-istewards ħa jieħdu l-proċedura f'idejhom skont ir-reviżjoni tal-attività tal-amministraturi.
Iddeċidejna li dan l-utent jissodifa l-kriterji ta' inattività (l-ebda modifika jew azzjoni ta' reġistru għal iżjed minn sentejn)
- Roderick Mallia (burokrata, amministratur)
Dan l-utent ħa jiġi avżat dalwaqt, biex jibdew diskussjoni bejn il-membri tal-komunità, jekk irid iżomm id-drittijiet li għandu jew xi wħud minnhom. Jekk ma jwiġibx l-istewards ineħħulu d-drittijiet avvanzati.
Però, jekk intom bħala komunità tixtiequ toħolqu proċedura għalikom għar-reviżjoni tal-inattività li tissossitwixxi dik globali, jew tridu tieħdu deċiżjoni differenti dwar dawn l-utenti inattivi li għandhom xi drittijiet jew diġà għandkom proċedura u aħna ma nafux biha, infurmaw l-istewards fuq Meta-Wiki biex inkunu nafu kif nipproċedu bir-reviżjoni tad-drittijiet fuq il-wiki tagħkom.

Just because someone "creates" a meme doesn't make it any less of a meme. It still spreads the same way. I mean, all memes are created somewhere, from planking to rage faces. It's up to others to take that idea and introduce the memetic quality of it. It's different from when someone tries to create a meme by forcing it down people's throats, and no one latches onto it.
Basically, "created meme" != "forced meme."
It's obviously Derpy. Look at the eyes.

GoDaddy Super Bowl Ad Takes New Direction, Focuses On (Fully Clothed) Female Business Owners
This year's GoDaddy Super Bowl ad is stepping away from the brand's more racy themes of years past, and moving in a new direction. "Our new message is that of the go-getter – valuable, edgy and fun," said GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving in an interview with USA Today, "Two years ago, it was provocative, sexy, crazy, gutsy."
According to a GoDaddy spokesperson, this year's ads feature women who are "smart, successful small business owners."
The web hosting firm says it will have two 30-second spots air during the Super Bowl, one during the first-half and one during the second-half. The ads will promote GoDaddy's Get Found technology and Website Builder products.
GoDaddy released one of the spots on its YouTube channel today. The brand's "Body Builder" ad features a very buff looking Danica Patrick, GoDaddy's longstanding spokesperson, running alongside hundreds of body builders as they find their way to a spray tan shop.
GoDaddy says Patrick was transformed using a special effects "muscle suit" similar to suits that have been created for films like Iron Man 3 and Captain America. This will be Patrick's 13th Super Bowl ad for the brand, giving her the record for the celebrity with the most Super Bowl ad appearances claims GoDaddy.
The ad was created by Deutsch, New York and directed by Bryan Buckley, who, according to Ad Age, has directed more than 40 Super Bowl ads.

AP photo Boston's Daniel Nava reacts as he is called out trying to steal second base against the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park in Boston, Wednesday.
BOSTON — Josh Hamilton broke out of a slump with two hits and three RBIs, Howie Kendrick drove in two runs, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3 to increase their AL West lead on Wednesday night.Hamilton was in a 5-for-41 slump with 18 strikeouts but hit two sacrifice flies and then singled in the Angels' final run in the ninth inning.The Angels' seventh win in eight games put them 1 1-2 games ahead of Oakland but it was costly. Right-handed starter Garrett Richards sustained a patellar injury in his left knee while running to cover first base in the second inning. The extent of the injury wasn't known.Richards, 7-2 in his previous 11 starts, left after 1 2-3 innings with a 2-0 deficit. Boston made it 3-0 on David Ortiz's homer in the third off winning pitcher Cory Rasmus (3-1).That gave Ortiz his eighth 30-homer season with Boston, tying Ted Williams' club record. Ortiz went 4 for 4 and is 8 for 10 in the series with four walks.But the Angels scored a run in the fourth on Kendrick's RBI single and five more in the fifth.
Clay Buchholz (5-8) took a 3-1 lead into the fifth but let the first six batters reach base. That sent Boston toward its fourth straight loss.The Angels loaded the bases on a single by Erick Aybar, a walk to Chris Iannetta and a single by Efren Navarro. A walk to Kole Calhoun drove in a run, and Los Angeles tied it when Mike Trout's popup to short right field dropped in. Calhoun was forced out at second after holding up to see if the ball would be caught.The next three batters all drove in runs: a single by Albert Pujols, a sacrifice fly by Hamilton, and a single by Kendrick.Richards left the field on a stretcher after being hurt on a potential double-play grounder. Brock Holt grounded to first baseman Pujols, who threw to shortstop Aybar for the out at second. Richards fell while running to first for a return throw, but Aybar spun and threw instead to third where Xander Bogaerts, who had run past the base, dove back safely.TRAINER'S ROOMAngels: Hamilton played center field as Trout was switched to designated hitter. Manager Mike Scioscia said nothing was physically bothering Trout, but he wanted to give him some rest.
Red Sox: C David Ross started after being activated following a stint on the disabled with right plantar fasciitis. 3B Will Middlebrooks didn't play after straining his right hamstring while running out an infield single in the fourth inning of the Angels' 4-3 win Tuesday night.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Matt Shoemaker (11-4, 3.84 ERA) pitches Thursday night as the Angels go for a four-game sweep. Shoemaker last faced the Red Sox on Aug. 9 when he shut them out for the last three innings of the Angels' 5-4 win in 19 innings.Red Sox: RHP Rubby De La Rosa (4-4, 3.79) goes for the Red Sox. On Aug. 10, he allowed one run in seven innings in a 3-1 win over the Angels in Los Angeles.

THINGS ARE CHANGING-BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE! by satisfied lady - 03/10/2012
This business is now under new management, apparently, soon to be a new owner. Change is in the works and the old attitudes, apparently, are gone. They are working hard to earn my business and were honest and strait up with price and what I asked for. After reading other reviews, I decided to try it anyway. My oil change was fast, I saved 20$ over the cost at the dealer and they didn't try to sell me anything else. Next time I need something for my car, I'll go back.
Charged $19 for putting in a light bulb by Shell Game - 10/20/2011
I was just at Prime Tune WITH my headlamp bulb to get it replaced. They spent about 10 minutes doing this and charged me $19.00. That is some shop rate. I won't go back.
Unhappy customer by ScrewedbyPTB - 04/27/2011
horrible!!! Came out of shop with MORE problems than went in with, charged double the original estimate, took over two weeks, and now...$1000 later, my car won't even start. Very angry!!
They'll find a way to take your money... by Bronco95 - 08/08/2010
This is a really sad example of a shop exploiting people who trust them to deal honestly and fairly. They really care nothing for the customer, they just want to see how much money they can milk out of you. I took my truck in for a diagnostic (shifting problem) and to get a tailpipe. I don't think they even knew where to hook the code reader and it was pretty unclear what codes came up. They assured me that they had used a code reader and all they could tell me was that it needed a tune up for $398. They couldn't do the tailpipe because it was a special order. The tailpipe itself was over $150 for less than three feet of pipe. I ended up taking it to another shop that correctly diagnosed the problem and fixed it along with the tailpipe for $75 bucks.$550 vs. $75... I know where my truck Won't be going!
Bad Name by Ms Cole - 07/08/2010
I only went to them for an estimate for worksource, they are an approved vendor. Unfortunately they told me that my vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the bearings and calibers provided me with a 700 estimate. The mechanic told me that in order to test the brakes he unfortunately seized 2 components of the brakes, making it no longer safe to drive because if by chance they could release them by process of putting them back together, that at any time they could lock up as I use the brakes. Lucky me that was not even a possibility. all the information they provided me was incorrect. I took my vehicle straight to my mechanic, [who fortunately is in the application process for being an approved vendor for Worksource,] they took my brakes apart, checked every component and tightened everything up.. Thank God for honest mechanics and people who just naturally do what is honorable. Prime Time gives credit to bad ethics and standards of service... Beware
they are the best! by Wally - 04/03/2009
Fair, honest and best of all they know what they are doing!!Brad and team will work on any brand.....My Saab has never been happier!

Forum List » Value Ideas and Strategies Share and discuss value investing ideas and investing strategies. Dell Opposition Grows
Posted by: mdhargrave

How should investors trade the upheaval at Dell (DELL)? And will this upheaval be enough to convince founder Michael Dell and Silver Lake to up their $13.65 per-share offer to take the tech company private? Well the market sure things so — the stock is trading almost 2% above the buyout price. Shareholder opposition to the buyout has been growing, with the two largest outside shareholders, Southeastern Asset Management and T. Rowe Price, publicly voicing their concerns. I can certainly see why longer-term investors are upset. Dell now trades at near multi-year lows, and investors who bought the stock 10 years ago have lost nearly 50% of their investment. Momentum Builds Dell's recent quarterly results showed a drop in both sales and earnings, which does not bode well for investors looking for a boost to valuation. Despite beating expectations, earnings were down 31% from the same quarter a year ago. The decline just further reaffirms the fact that Dell is under serious pressure related to its core PC business. Sterne Agee analysts notes that even with Dell's initiatives to divest beyond the struggling PC market that "65% to 70% of its business is still tied to PCs." This Is Where Things Get Interesting So what makes the Dell buyout rejection even possible when founder Michael Dell is the largest shareholder with 14%? The deal includes a so-called majority-of-the-minority voting rights protection, meaning it must be approved by a majority of shareholders excluding Michael Dell's 14% ownership. With major shareholders, including the top two outside share owners, voicing their opposition for the deal, there is reason to believe that enough support could be garnered to force Michael Dell and Silver Lake to boost their bid. The Growing Opposition Southeastern Asset Management and T. Rowe Price are Dell's two largest outside shareholders, and both have publicly opposed the deal. Southeastern Asset Management and T. Rowe together own more than 10% of the stock and have said that Dell is worth more than its buyers have offered. Although Southeastern is a "low-key" activist, they recently teamed up with billionaire activist Carl Icahn to implement changes at Chesapeake Energy. As for Dell, Southeastern believes that Dell could be worth upwards of $24, which they include in their shareholder letter. Some believe that Southeastern could lose around $1 billion if the $13.65 deal goes through. Sanford Bernstein says the number could be larger. As a result, Southeastern has also put forth an alternative to the buyout, which includes Dell borrowing money to make a major share repurchase or break up the company and sell the units separately. Another reason the opposition is worth looking into is that T. Rowe opposes the deal, where it is rather unique for a mutual fund company to stand against a management-backed deal. T. Rowe isn't an activist fund, but they have a name and reputation that could gather more oppositional support. Pzena Investment Management also plans to oppose the deal, as well as Yacktman Asset Management. Another notable firm opposing the deal is Alpine Capital, stating that they expect the final price to be "meaningfully higher" than the buyout price offered. As mentioned, the deal must be approved by a majority vote not including Michael Dell's shares. The four major funds that have come out against the deal, including Southeastern and T. Rowe, own 17.2% of Dell's shares. How Do the Competitors Stack Up? Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is Dell's biggest competitor and one that has seen similar pressures due to a weak PC market. HP's quarter ending in January confirmed some of these pressures: EPS was $0.82, compared to the $0.92 the company posted for the same quarter last year, and on the back of a 6% sales decline year over year. While we continue to debate whether the Dell buyout is fairly priced or not, HP could be out in the cold, where it's trading at a much deeper discount to intrinsic value versus Dell (read more about why). This includes the potential for HP to spin off certain parts of its business, such as its printer segment, which could unlock value for shareholders. The decline of Dell's stock price is not unlike that of Xerox (XRX) over the last 13 years, which has been in steady decline. The Xerox business model, not unlike that of Dell, has been suffering from serious changes in customer preference. This includes changes in how consumers send and store media. The decline in Xerox's paper-related products and systems is a result of competition from companies such as HP and Canon. Xerox's fourth quarter sales were down 14% and earnings were flat year over year. Last quarter, hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson and billionaire D.E. Shaw were selling off some of their shares. The Variant View on the Dell deal Sanford Bernstein suggest that around 20% of Dell's shares are held by merger-arb investors, which indicates they will in all likelihood vote for the deal. They also add that around 8% of the shares are owned by passive index funds, who will also probably vote 'yes' for the deal. That's roughly 28% that could vote yes. The premium, at $13.65, is 25% to Dell's pre-announcement trading price. So investors should be happy with this, right? Well, as I mentioned above, many are not, and as a result it is worthwhile to consider what might happen if the deal falls apart. Jefferies notes that if the deal falls apart, the stock could fall to $10, but eventually rebound on a leveraged recap deal that could bump the stock back to $12 per share, which is a 13.6% fall from current levels. The Upside There are a couple of scenarios, with one being the buyout happens at a higher price, likely around $15. The high-end of the price target range set by Wall Street analysts for Dell is upwards of $16. Jefferies also believes that the bid could be raised to $15. The deal is already on the table at $13.65, with financing through Microsoft and Silverlake secured, so the likelihood of the deal falling apart lies in the shareholder vote. Assuming, for the sake of arguing, that the two key outcomes are the $13.65 buyout or an increased buyout at $15, and if you assume there is a 50/50 chance between the two, then the probability weighted return is 3.05%, a solid merger-arbitrage opportunity. Don't Be Fooled I still see the buyout as one of Dell shareholders' last hopes for seeing some returns in the interim. Merger-arbitrage is a game played by hedge funds who have the capital to make money on small moves in the stock. However, with the backing of Dell's two largest outside shareholders, Southeastern and T. Rowe, there could be a good chance that the buyout price gets boosted.

- 1 Reply to Michael
Adrian Peterson and Felix Jones. both have good matchups and both can catch passes and make up yardaage.
Should I start dez bryant or brandon lloyd?
Also, in another league, my WR are Antonio brown, dez bryant, miles austin, torrey smith, jeremy maclin and johnny knox. I need to start 2 of them. I've been rolling with brown and bryant, but with austin returning and big ben's health in question, im really confused as to which two receivers I should go with here.- 1 Reply to adgds a
start dez, good matchup against the bucs. i like lloyd but its hard to bank on him as the offense is horrible.
as for the other question, i would go Brown (if ben plays) and Austin. theyre the 2 best WR's you have, Austin should be better this week as he's getting back into his groove.
Start Big Ben and Antonio Brown vs. SF or Christian Ponder and Percy Harvin vs. NO?
- 1 Reply to Peter B
I'd go with Big Ben and A. Brown. They have a good connection and can put up big fantasy points if they click.
Seahawks or Giants Defense?
- 1 Reply to Devin
i'd go with SEA, they've been so good and Chicago is so depleted now, no Cutler, no Forte just Hanie and Barber

Action taken to improve Internet safety for children
The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP is taking an active role in educating parents and teachers about the important resources necessary for keeping children safe from online sexual exploitation.
Tuesday was deemed global Internet Safety Day, but practices must be followed on a regular basis, according to police.
Distributing iSmart material, an Internet and social media resource toolkit, is a big step in the right direction.
"The North Cowichan/Duncan detachment has already been in the schools this year talking about Internet safety,'' noted Cpl. Jon Stuart. "We hope that providing youth with the right decision-making tools, it will help them to make smart choices.
"The iSmart program helps youth to make the right decisions by giving them tips to watch out for suspicious activity. It shows them that people can pretend to be someone they are not, and you never truly know who you are in contact with online.''
Police have more material available for those who'd like more detailed information.
"We also have pamphlets available that talk about Internet safety, including the iSmart program,'' added Stuart. "These and others are available at the detachment and at the community police stations.''
The Canadian Centre for Child Protection realizes educators play a critical role in teaching children personal safety strategy to help reduce online victimization. With that in mind, more than a million Internet safety materials will be distributed to schools across Canada free of charge.

Coin counterfeiting of valuable antique coins is common; modern high-value coins are also counterfeited and circulated.[1] Counterfeit antique coins are generally made to a very high standard so that they can deceive experts; this is not easy and many coins still stand out.
Circulating coins[edit]
Counterfeits of higher-value coins in circulation, designed for general circulation at face value, have been made by criminals for thousands of years. For modern coins in general circulation the most common method of protection from forgeries is the use of bi-metallic coins, made of two metals of different colour, which are difficult to counterfeit at low cost. The most common way of forging these coins is to change the area that should be a different colour by painting it, however the paint is often easy to scratch off and the coins soon look very crude once worn. An increasing number of coins are cast from the same composition alloy as the real coin, but have poor reproduction of details such as the milling on the side of the coin and the stamped lettering. When the euro was introduced into Europe there were initially very few counterfeits, however the number increased massively as time went by.[2] The high and increasing number of fake euro coins in circulation in 2004 led to the creation of a Technical and Scientific Center for the coordination of technical actions to protect euro coins against counterfeiting.[3] It was estimated that 3.04% of all UK £1 coins in circulation are counterfeit.[4] Between 2002 and 2006 approximately 400,000 counterfeit euro coins were removed from circulation, however "the overall number is very small by historical standards and by comparison to the 69 billion circulating (genuine) euro coins"[5]

Among the examples of counterfeits of high-value collectible coins are the "Omega" coins produced in the early 1970s by an unknown counterfeiter who signed his creations with a miniature Greek letter omega. He is believed to have made over 20,000 fake 1907 high-relief nominally US$20 gold Double Eagle coins with the signature omega in the claw of the eagle, worth hundreds of millions of dollars at today's prices. His counterfeits are of such high quality that collectors will pay upwards of $1,000 for one; although a genuine coin sells for about $50,000 to $100,000. The same counterfeiter also counterfeited other US gold coins, including a large quantity of $3 gold pieces, dated 1874, 1878 and 1882, with the 1882 being the most prevalent. Two of the counterfeit $10 gold pieces, the 1913-P and 1926-P, have the omega placed upside down within the upper loop of the "R" of "LIBERTY" in the Native American's headdress.[6][7]
