White farmer who beat Mugabe in court over land seizures, dies

April 9, 2011

The Zimbabwean farmer who took Robert Mugabe to court over the seisure of land from white farmers,, has died at the age of 78. It is claimed by his family that Mr. Campbell never fully recovered after being kidnapped and severely beaten by Zimbabwean militants.

The Southern Africa correspondent for the BBC, Karen Allen, said that Mr. Campbell became "one of the most well known names in the white farming community in Zimbabwe."

His struggle through the courts was captured in an award winning documentary, , although his win in the regional courts was subsequently ignored by Mugabe, whose policy of land removal continued, along with the intimidation of residents and workers on white owned farms.

Campbell and some members of his family were kidnapped in mid 2008, and taken to a military camp where they were severely beaten, before being made to sign legal documents stating that they would drop the case against Mugabe. However, the case went ahead, and in November of the same year, the regional tribunal ruled that the land seizures were against the law, and directed the Zimbabwean government to protect the rights of the landowners in Zimbabwe.

Mugabe refused however, and stated that he and militants would continue to take land from white farmers, since the policy of land reform was a core policy and "could not be reversed."

Even today, out of an estimated 4,000 white owned farms, only 300 still remain and the evictions continue.

Mr. Campbell suffered health issues after being attacked, losing certain mental functions including calculation. After the seizure of his property, he went to, and it is here that he died on Wednesday, homeless. His own home on the land he'd owned, burned to the ground in front of him by supporters of the Zanu-PF party.

Thread:Comments:U.S. budget crisis will cause personal budget crisis for U.S. troops/Concerns over not paying soldiers/reply

Well they've passed bills in the past to fund the military during a government shut down, but not this time. I can tell you as a military spouse that half a paycheck sucks, especially when we found out after 12 noon on friday. While back pay while happen, that doesn't pay for my twin's food and diapers now (which I already have plenty of). My wife was in plenty of meetings today to discuss the situation. Her proposal is half pay should equal half work. I say we see how that works in Afghanistan and Korea. I'm pretty sure the South Koreans wouldn't be happy. Oh and I have one friend in the military who is not only getting half pay, but having to work 12 hour shifts instead of his standard 8 due to an exercise, now that's B.S.

Gbagbo forces reported to have gained ground in Ivorian city of Abidjan

April 9, 2011 According to the United Nations, forces loyal to disputed Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo have resumed fighting in the city of Abidjan. According to reports, the troops regained control of parts of the city.

After a brief lull in fighting, while it was reported that Gbagbo officials were negotiating a surrender, violence resumed. A U.N. official said that Gbagbo forces "clearly used the lull of Tuesday as a trick to reinforce their position," and now control the Plateau and Cocody regions of Abidjan.

Gbagbo forces are reportedly using heavy weaponry, including and grenade launchers, as well as tanks and armored troop transports. The French ambassador's house was reportedly attacked, resulting in counter-strikes by French helicopters. Gbagbo forces deny being involved in the attack.

Toussaint Alain, an advisor to Gbagbo, has denied reports that Gbagbo forces are in possession of heavy weapons, claiming that previous French attacks had destroyed their weaponry. He said that "France is just looking for a pretext to get rid of President Laurent Gbagbo."

US government shutdown averted in last-minute deal

April 9, 2011

US lawmakers have reached a last-minute deal to avoid a, which would have begun at 12:00 (04:00 ) Saturday. The agreement, announced just one hour before the shutdown was to occur, includes 38.5 billion in budget reductions.

"Behind me through the window you can see the Washington Monument. [...] Tomorrow, I'm pleased to announce the Washington Monument as well as the entire federal government will be open for business," said Barack Obama of the deal, which was reached only after several days of discussion. Earlier on Friday, US legislators deflected claims that a midnight deal was being worked out, but Republican Party sources later reported that a deal was likely to be reached.

John Boehner (Republican-Ohio) announced late Friday night that he was glad that both political parties were able to "come to an agreement that will in fact cut spending and keep [the US] government open." The deal was apparently reached after disputes over government funding for organizations such as were resolved. Boehner said both sides decided on a six-day extension, or "bridge," of government funding, which would allow Congress to work out a final solution to last the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year, which ends in September. Voting for the resulting agreement will take place some time next week, according to Boehner.

The last complete US government shutdown occurred in 1995, during the administration of Bill Clinton, lasting five days; it was proceeded by a 21-day partial shutdown. In the event of a government shutdown, essential federal employees are still required to work, but nonessential personnel are placed on unpaid. Essential staff include military personnel, air traffic controllers, emergency officials, and intelligence officials.

Nitrite poisoned milk kills three babies, sickens 35 in China

April 9, 2011

At least 35 people, mostly young children, have become ill and three babies died in city in Northwest China, after consuming contaminated milk.

Preliminary investigations have shown that the victims died from poisoning after drinking milk supplied from a local dairy farm. According to a local government statement, two dairy farms have been shut down and are currently being investigated. Nitrite is usually used in dyes and to cure meats. In an effort to clean up the dairy industry, the government shut down nearly 1,200 dairy farms last week.

According to, local police detained a suspect in his 40s who is believed to have produced and supplied the tainted milk. The suspect is an independent dairy farmer who has sold homemade dairy products for many years, said a public official from the local government who requested to remain anonymous.

"The man thought that he had been wronged and insisted that he was unaware of what had happened to his farm and milk," the official said to China Daily. It remains unclear whether the poisoning was a crime or an accident, resulting from improperly storing the milk.

According to a Friday press release from the city government and local health bureau, the 35 people who fell ill by consuming the milk are being treated in two hospitals in Pingliang. Most patients are children under fourteen years of age. One patient is in a critical condition, but the conditions of the other patients are reported to be stable.

This is the second food contamination incident to occur in within a month. In March, China's largest meat processor apologized after the illegal additive was found in some of their pork products. In 2008, at least six infants died and nearly 300,000 others were sickened after consuming powdered infant milk laced with the chemical.

Shiites protest against discrimination in Bahrain

April 11, 2011

This week state run newspapers in Bahrain officially declared that the nation was ‘back on track’ after weeks of political and sectarian unrest in the nation. However these headlines have been disputed by protestors in Bahrain. security forces have been raiding Shiite protestors' homes, knocking their doors down, spraying graffiti on walls and arresting them in an effort to keep Shiite activists off the street.

has been accused by the United States of human rights abuses including arbitrary detention and discrimination against Shiites in the country; Shiites make up between 60% and 70% of the population of Bahrain. One activist told The Associated Press that he was brutally beaten by security forces, threatened with rape, and told to return to Iran — a major Shiite power in the region.

"We cannot stop," said another Shiite protestor, Ali Mohammed, "we might go quite for a bit to mourn the dead and treat the injured and see those in jail, but then we will rise up again." He lost his teaching job because of his involvement in the protests.

It was also revealed by a report that the Bahrain government had requested from various media outlets and journalists that they no longer report on sectarianism, national security or stories that degraded the Royal Saudi family. The report also claimed that "according to some members of the media, government officials contacted editors directly and asked them to stop writing about certain subjects or asked them not to publish a press release or a story."

Shiites have voiced their opinions about continuous discrimination in the country, with the Muslim opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman requesting that the Saudi military leave the region and stop intervening with protesters.

The official body count states that at least 20 people have been killed since the political protests began in early February 2011.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Machete. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Machete~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Seven dead after gunman opens fire in Netherlands shopping centre

April 9, 2011 Seven people have been shot dead after a gunman opened fire in a busy shopping mall in the town of, in the Netherlands. Tristan van der Vlis, believed to be a Dutch national who had a criminal record, killed six people and injured numerous others before turning the weapon on himself.

Officials have said van der Vlis, 24, who was local to the area and was known to police, used weapons he was legally permitted to own to carry out the attack. Police confirmed he was licensed to own five firearms, and used three in the attack. Unconfirmed reports say he left behind a final letter addressed to his mother. Officers this afternoon searched his house, and confirmed he almost certainly acted alone.

The was evacuated and cordoned off after the shooting, amid mass panic. Witnesses described van der Vlis as looking "agitated and distressed" before he opened fire. One witness said: "I saw a woman I know walking at the other side. She wanted to enter a shop when a tall young man approached and shot her in cold blood. He walked calmly and shot through the windows of the shop where I was hiding." Police allegedly arrived before the gunman killed himself.

The mayor of Alphen aan den Rijn,, said children may have been among the victims, although it is not clear if any were killed. "It's too terrible for words, a shock for us all," he said. "Under these circumstances, with many people shopping at the Ridderhof today, including parents with children, it's an almost incomprehensible situation." , the prime minister, said he was "horrified" by the shootings.

User:Kayau/Hundreds protest against new Hong Kong residence

Hundreds of protesters participated in a 'lie-down' demonstration followed by a protest march in Mei Foo, Hong Kong to protest against the construction of a 20-storey residence near, a 99-block which used to be the largest in the world. The Police claimed around 300 participated in the lie-down protest and 500 in the march; the organisers claimed 1000 took part in the entire event.

Developer Cheung Tat earlier purchased the site of the new block, which used to house a petroleum storage tank, from New World Development, plus surrounding roads from Broadway-Nassau Investments, the estate's management company. Construction has been delayed since residents blocked it early last month.

Protestors claim that the new block of flats will obscure the view and obstruct the air flow in the estate, as the designated site will block the estate's wind corridor. They also plan to request a judicial review on the matter as they claim the developer have used incorrect plot ratio data. They also want the government to enter a land swap with Cheung Tat to force the developer to abandon their plans.

The government has refused to do so because the project satisfies legal requirements and land swaps are reserved for 'very special circumstances'. Yip Siu-chau, convener of the concern group, stated that he was not surprised as a land swap would mean the government acknowledging the mistake.

Politicians from the, , and  (LSD) have all supported the residents. of the Democratic Party and of the LSD have both attended the protests.

Cheung Tat condemned the protests on the grounds that they delayed the construction, violating their legal rights. They stated that they have already responded to the resident's request by reducing the floor area of the building by half.

Thread:Comments:US government shutdown averted in last-minute deal/Not surprised

I am not surprised they "avoided" a shutdown. I am willing to bet that this was all just a game to them and that they all knew it wouldn't shut down. The way I see it is: Shut it down and get these people out of office. Our tax dollars pay for the government to operate and pays their salaries. With that said, there should have been no reason to shut it down. These people get away with money laundering and extortion on a daily basis. If this were me or any other John doing this, we would all be in prison for years. I am ashamed of my government.

Baseball player Manny Ramirez retires after testing positive for performance-enhancing drug

April 10, 2011 Champion baseball player, 38, notified the MLB on Friday that he would retire   after being notified that he had  tested positive for a. It was his second offense and he was facing a 100-game suspension. In 2009 as a, he served a 50-game suspension for violating the MLB's.

"His numbers, he was unreal," said Red Sox infielder, who was Ramirez's teammate with the. "He was one of the most feared guys with runners in scoring position. ... If there is a guy you really want at the plate in a tough situation, it would have been Manny."

Ramirez's retirement coincides with the trial of another of baseball's great hitters, Barry Bonds, charged with falsely denying to a grand jury that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

"Until the past couple of years, I thought [Ramirez] was on his way to the ," said manager. "I don't think many guys got as many big hits in their careers as he has. There weren't many guys who had as big an effect on a game as he had. You hate to see greatness all of a sudden just fade."

That was my initial thought, however, let's remember that he has already spent two years dealing with the grief of this horrific loss and the daily knowledge that his children cannot be retrieved (until just recently) None of us (most definitely me) can really appreciate the space he is in.

Guatemalan president and first lady granted divorce

April 10, 2011

President of Guatemala and first lady  have been granted a divorce by a family court. The couple applied for a divorce so that Torres could stand for president when her husband steps down. The couple would have to divorce because of the Guatemalan constitution which states that close relatives of the president can not stand to be their successor.

Judge Mildred Roca said that she reached her decision to grant the couple a divorce last week, but had to delay making it official until other motions were ruled upon challenging the divorce. According to a spokesman from the, the judge was able to dismiss all objections as ill-advised or "frivolous".

The divorce has been meet with criticism from the public and opposition politicians. The couple has been accused of "legal fraud" and Otto Perez Molina, the main opposition candidate, still believes that if Torres runs for office it would still violate the constitution. Perez is the current front runner in the opinion polls with 47.2% while Torres is believed to have 13.7%.

Nigeria votes in parliamentary elections

April 10, 2011

Voting in parliamentary elections that took place on Saturday in Nigeria has concluded and votes are being counted after the first part of a three-round election.

The day of voting passed fairly peacefully, with only two instances of violence. In, at least three people were killed after a bomb went off, and a hotel in the city was set on fire. Elsewhere, a policeman was shot and killed in. On Friday, a bombing in killed between eight and ten people.

The elections were postponed for a week after many ballots and other voting materials were missing or incomplete in some regions. The difficulties were not apparent until voting had begun, and the country's Electoral Commission chose to push the date of the parliamentary elections back a week.

Saturday's elections were for 360 seats in the and 109 seats in the. Next Saturday, presidential elections will take place, and a week from then are elections for state governors.

Current president Goodluck Jonathan is expected to win the presidential election, though his appears likely to suffer a reduction of its majority in the, which is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

According to the Electoral Commission, the elections are a "test of honour [that]is inescapably a collective one for all Nigerians. "It is our national honour at stake, and our relevance in the affairs of the modern world being redefined."

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Slowhand. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Slowhand~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

This shouldn't have been published in the form it was. Besides the fact that it's clearly an advertisement —and I'm therefore very dubious that it was newsworthy at all— the lede was in non-news style (advert style, in fact) and didn't answer the basic questions, one of the paragraphs was verbatim from one of the sources, and there were no categories on it. --Pi zero (talk) 21:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, I may be overplaying the advert thing... although I don't think the sources are reliable for the qualitative claims ("front page news" sounds like pure hyperbole to me, e.g.). All the facts I specifically chased down do seem to be in the sources —the most esoteric one I checked was the name "James Bullock"— and the sum of money involved does seem likely to make it newsworthy, although I don't really know that since I'm not involved in coin collecting at that level (so if I were reviewing it I'd do some checking around about the significance of 345k).

 * The other problems bother me, though. Before publishing, I'd have either eliminated the hyperbolic phrases or failed it on neutrality; either fixed the lede to answer the basic questions or failed it on style; fixed the verbatim-copied paragraph; and added at least one geocat and a major topic category.

 * Then, last thing before publishing, I always check WN:Tips on reviewing articles to see what I've forgotten. --Pi zero (talk) 21:56, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Duly noted. Obviously, I wouldn't have closed it if it weren't unanimously opposed with no discussion in several days. I assumed it worked something like non admin closures of RFA's at en.wp.

 * When IRC actually affects things on-wiki, you absolutely should go into details. Go over to the water cooler thread right now and give details and name names.  Right now you're in deep shit, for betraying the trust invested in you with the reviewer bit; pressure from someone else that induced your behavior is something that needs to come out in the open, for the good of the project.

noindex on WC
Why would we want the water cooler unindexed. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * It's only there while the notice about the investigation into Google is present. Someone on IRC pointed out that all our pages may be indexed by search engines, and if I'm carrying out an investigative report into Google, Chrome and YouTube, the last thing I want is for their robot to crawl by, index the page and they get wind that they're being investigated. As soon as the notice is archived, I'll take the noindex off. BarkingFish (talk) 23:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That is being a bit paranoid, but as long as its only temporary, that sounds fine to me. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Reviewer bit
I truly do not wish to push you to do anything you aren't comfortable with. I said in the discussion on your removal request that you might want time to find your balance again. Brian McNeil's phrasing was "time to reflect", and xe mentioned speedy re-grant thereafter. Observing time passed and your behavior during that time, including informal reviews, I do wish to express my own opinion that the remaining question is whether you feel ready for the bit back. Of course you should take any additional time you want, to find your balance, to reflect — but I will support re-grant whenever you judge yourself ready and request it. (I know, about the worst thing one can do to a person is trust xyr better judgment. Sorry about that. :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your understanding
I am taking you up on your offer to discuss this problem. Right now I am very discouraged about writing for Wikinews, which is depressing after my initial excitement. Writing news articles is something I do for a living. Here at Wikinews there appears to be very little opportunity for a more sophisticated article, other than the usual several paragraphs with two or three repetitious sources that are obviously using the same news source, such as AP, and containing the same information that anyone with a radio, TV, and/or Internet access has already heard over and over. For example, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to be extradited to Sweden has superficial information and three sources that are virtually carbon copies of each other. This seems to be the level of news writing that Wikinews supports. Is there any room for something a little more ambitious? Or will the reviewer resent that more than two or three sources are used, as happened in my case, and refuse to consult them before reviewing and labeling text POV based on his personal opinion?

Am I wrong in thinking that the reviewer should consult the sources before calling information such terms as "poetic POV" and saying certain information "worried" him without specifying why?

Please tell me the true situation. Is it possible to write a sophisticated article than does more than repeat three carbon copy sources? Or is this the wrong place for me to use my article writing skills? (I am a professional writer, accustomed to dealing with editors in my daily work, so I was taken aback by the reviewer's approach to my article.) Regards, Mattisse (talk) 02:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Looking around, I see that you are beholden to the reviewer of my article and so may not be able to address my concerns above. I will remove my comments if you desire. Is there some other editor I can discuss these concerns with who can be candid with me? Thanks, Mattisse (talk) 02:58, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Regarding mentorship
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner.

I'm uncomfortable with the image of myself as a mentor.
 * I don't believe I'm sufficiently competent. I do suffer from impostor syndrome generally, but I specifically don't consider peer review a strong suit of mine.  Some aspects of it I'm good with, and when I review at all, I choose articles I feel comfortable are within my ability.
 * The time commitment isn't something I should do.

This brings up something I've had on my mind lately. I've hesitated to bring it up on the water cooler because it's not well enough formed. But I see a serious design defect in the mechanism of peer review. We expect one person to do everything, with no safety net against mistakes and a reasonable chance that mistakes won't even be detected promptly. Not only is that error-prone in itself, but as site activity increases the proportion of publication mistakes increases, that raises tensions, and the project turns into a powder keg. Recalling the way the site exploded last year, I'd say this design defect really needs fixing. --Pi zero (talk) 06:40, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Unblock requests
Hi BarkingFish, in my experience admins who perform blocks should not be the ones to review unblock requests. Rather, an uninvolved sysop should look at them. You may wish to reconsider your handling of Geoffreybard. Regards, Tempodivalse [talk]  00:21, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I spoke to other admins present on IRC about the unblock request, none offered to handle it. BarkingFish (talk) 00:23, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * IRC is independent from the wiki and should not be used as a basis for something as important as a block. If nobody was available immediately to handle the request, you could have waited a while; eventually someone would have volunteered. Tempodivalse [talk]  00:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments. BarkingFish (talk) 00:35, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * "Not stepping into this" could have been more easily done by simply leaving the unblock request for someone else to handle. I don't like to argue, but I also don't like to see people being treated unfairly. There should have been at least a warning; and barring that, at least a link to the offensive edit in question. I'm currently unsure which of his comments you felt crossed the line. Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  00:41, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * He was pratically attacking every reviewer on here with every edit he made. I was watching it in the recent changes. -- Nascar <font color=" #1234aa">1996  (talk • contribs) 00:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Tempodivalse, while I appreciate your input, this is the edit which was dealt with - the comment was this: "In the meantime, I suggest you interview some Hiroshima survivors or get a good whiff of radiation yourself before you belittle the heroism of the Fukushima rescue workers." - I consider it a personal attack, 2 wrongs don't make a right. Brian's comments to him may have been harsh, they're not what I was dealing with.  His attacking Brian with remarks like that is what I was dealing with. With extreme prejudice, I refuse to discuss this any further. He's blocked, it stays. BarkingFish (talk) 00:47, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That's peanuts next to the stuff users say about each other here sometimes. Why aren't we slamming them with blocks too? Because Geoffreybard's not an admin? I'm saddened that you don't wish to even reconsider in the face of opposition. unblock exists for the purpose of allowing someone supposedly less biased to make a second decision. If you're sure the block is correct, why not prove it by letting someone else refuse the unblock request? I'm not going to pursue this any further, I have better things to do than argue; others may take it up if they wish. Best regards. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  00:55, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I deal with what I see, Tempodivalse. I spend most of my day at work, and don't get to contribute much at night. There are other admins here, they do what they wish. I do what I see fit. If I don't see the attack in question, I can't deal with it. I'm not psychic and don't intend to take classes to assist in it. BarkingFish (talk) 00:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Note about:"polite" comment you claim you made after your block threat on User talk:TUFKAAP
Here it is: [http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mattisse&diff=1184986&oldid=1184985 Thank you for your consideration, Mattisse. I understand your frustration, but there are better ways of talking things over. You're welcome to speak with any of us, and we will try and help you in any way possible.]

I believed you and the result was pretty meaningless for a newbie. I took you up on your offer here: I thanked you for your offer of help and asked a few questions.

Your response: resolution]] Gee, thanks! Very welcoming to a newbie. But looking around I see that you are beholden to Pi zero so you are unlikely to offer me helpful advice. So that is your "polite response" you tout on User talk:TUFKAAP. Thanks for such personal help. Mattisse (talk) 10:50, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * You barely gave me 23 minutes to answer your "questions" before stating that I appeared to be beholden to Pi Zero (which at that time, was only because of a Previous issue in which Pi had quite a big say, and nothing more) - before telling me that you'd remove those comments if I wanted. The comment I made was polite. Certainly a lot more polite than what I initially said to you.  You could have asked any other editor here and they'd have helped you, if you considered that because of my involvement with Pi Zero, that I was not in a position to do so.  My response clearly stated that. "You're welcome to speak with any of us" - By the way - Just so you know, I wasn't the one who referred you to dispute resolution - look at the signature, it's an IP address, and it's not mine :) BarkingFish (talk) 12:34, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Recommended reading
Recommend that you get beyond the "nutshell" and read the actual policy of Wikipedia:No personal attacks. I think you will find that you have not been following it. Regards, Mattisse (talk) 01:46, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Gosh. Wikilawyering with Wikipedia policies. Those are not cross-wiki. Thanks. Diego Grez return fire 01:51, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sarcasm is your defense for BarkingFish? It is not a way to be convincing. Rather, it makes it seem that you have no defense for him. And it takes the discussion to a new low. He said at the Water Cooler he follows Wikipedia's policies on personal attacks. Perhaps you were unaware of that. In BarkingFish's defense, he seems to be attempting to make helpful suggestions at the Water Cooler. You are not his friend to post meaninless sarcasm on his page. for BarkingFish: {from the Wikipedia policy you purport to follow: Personal attacks do not include civil language used to describe an editor's actions, and when made without involving their personal character, should not be construed as personal attacks, for instance, stating "Your statement is a personal attack..." is not itself a personal attack. Mattisse (talk) 01:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Diego, please. I was the one who quoted a wikipolicy from WP, which I follow here. I'd appreciate a bit of leeway for a moment, could I ask you to stay out of this for a bit? :) Thanks! BarkingFish (talk) 02:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, Mattisse. I didn't ask him to do that.  I am well aware of the policy there, and used two of their terms of personal attack to adjudge what you said as one.  "Racial, sexist, homophobic, ageist, religious, political, ethnic, sexual or other epithets (such as against people with disabilities) directed against another contributor." - Your comment made it clear that you thought Pi Zero was at a disadvantage because he was probably much younger than you - "Perhaps you are much younger than I am. I have been rigorously trained to relay on sources and not my personal opinion." - and the second one I applied was "Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence." - Your comment made it clear that you thought Pi Zero relied on his own prejudices, worries and his own idea of what is "true" - "I think you do not appreciate the more complex aspects of article writing and seem to rely on your own preconceptions of what is true, your own prejudices, your own "worries."
 * In my opinion, therefore, justifying what I saw, I agree that I should not have threatened you with a block, but in the circumstances, I was right to state that this was a personal attack, by the definition I already follow. I hope that clarifies things for you. BarkingFish (talk) 02:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you BarkingFish. I truly appreciate your sincere attempts to resolve this. Could you explain what part of what I said to Pi zero was a personal attack as defined by Wikipedia? As far as I can tell, the entire conversation was on . All I see is two editors trying to work out problems, albeit somewhat emotionally. That is not a personal attack. I say to him I realize he is acting in good faith and never assumed otherwise. It is critical that I understand exactly what I said was a personal attack and by what standards. How else can I learn to avoid doing so again? How can problems be worked out if all conversation must be vague and bland? Please help me understand. Mattisse (talk) 13:26, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Having further reviewed the entire conversation, I actually note on a re-read that you did make it clear that you didn't intend to be nasty. In respect of this, therefore, I give you a full public apology for the way I behaved towards you.

 * I've taken a couple of days to mull over our discussions and the attempts to repair the damage I caused to your opinion of myself, and more importantly, the project as a whole.  My conclusion is that I behaved in a less than rational way, and against the standards of civility expected and indeed required by myself as an administrator to the project.

 * I ask that we bury the hatchet (not literally of course, although I have a feeling several people here would like to do that to me, probably in my head), and I call an end to my mood swings here. They clearly help nobody. I hope you accept my apology, and will understand entirely if you don't. Best wishes, BarkingFish (talk) 11:20, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I gratefully accept your apology and have already changed my opinion of you based on the web chat. My desire is to have a good working relationship with you. Thanks for taking the time to reevaluate the situation. Regards, Mattisse (talk) 13:16, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Infosoqte. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Infosoqte~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I noticed you created the article, Shooting at Auburn Hindu Temple, which is now an old news event. Thanks for taking an active role in improving the content on this site. People like you who take an active role make Wikinews better for all of us — readers and writers alike.

One thing to note, though, is that Wikinews articles report about current news events. Articles are considered historical documents reflecting the knowledge and understanding of the event at the time of publishing. Once there are no more developments and it is past two days, it's too late for Wikinews to report on it.

If there are new developments on the story, you can create a new article instead of just creating an old and out-of-date one. That way your work will be current (and if so, edited by more people) since readers tend not to read old news.

Your article has been deleted or submitted at the deletion requests page according to the deletion requests guidelines.

Don't be discouraged if your article has been deleted, you will find plenty of more current events to report about which help make Wikinews a better news source.

Again, thanks for helping improve this site. theMONO 00:58, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Template:Topic cat/doc

Usage
For a typical topic category, cut and paste the following sample code, and customize it as explained below.

Customizations: Additional, less frequent customizations:
 * 1) Put categories below the template.  People get , and at least one descendant of Category:People by occupation; countries get.
 * 2) Optionally, provide an  ; it completes the descriptive sentence,
 * This is the category for,.
 * 1) Optionally, provide an image, and perhaps a caption for the image; additional smaller images can also be included (see below).
 * 2) Check all the sister links, and adjust or remove them as appropriate.
 * 3) * When looking for an alternative on any project, don't forget to check namespaces that aren't on the default search. (E.g., Wikisource default search only checks main and author.)
 * 4) *  overrides the default Commons link,  .    suppresses the Commons link entirely.
 * 5) *  overrides the default Wikipedia link,  .    suppresses the Wikipedia link entirely.
 * 6) * If a sister doesn't have a suitable page in the English project but does in some other language, the latter may be linked by attaching the language prefix to the target; for example, if Andrés Manuel López Obrador has no page at English Wikiquote, but does have one at Spanish Wikiquote, one might specify.
 * An additional parameter  can be used to specify a supplementary note on how to use the category, beyond what is implied by the introductory sentence.  The note is displayed as a separate paragraph after the introductory sentence.
 * An additional parameter  can be set to non-blank, to insert the word "the" before the topic name in the descriptive sentence.
 * An additional parameter  can be set to non-blank, to suppress the comma between topic and non-blank   in the descriptive sentence.
 * An additional parameter  can be used to specify a different name for the topic in the descriptive sentence, instead of.
 * An additional parameter  can be used to specify a different target for the primary link in the descriptive sentence; if used, this replaces the entire wikipedia target, including the " ", so it can link to a page on any sister project, or to a page on Wikinews.
 * An additional parameter  can be used to specify an external URL.  (Use with discretion, please.)
 * An additional parameter  can be used to override the default size of the main image (default is 250px).
 * An additional parameter  can be used to override the default alt text for the main image (default is   with the file extension stripped off).
 * Any of additional parameters,  ,  ,  ,  ,   can be used to provide additional smaller images.  When using  , consider suffixing the file name with.
 * An additional parameter  can be used to specify a sister link to that project.
 * An additional parameter  can be set either to , suppressing the portal link even if the portal exists; or to a different portal-space page name to use instead of   (so the page checked for, and linked if it exists, is  ).
 * An additional parameter  can be set to non-blank, to suppress the list of latest news.
 * Parameter  can be set to , or omitted, to omit the sister links section altogether.
 * An additional parameter  can be used to specify what to list under Latest stories; this should be used if the category name contains any of certain special characters, such as apostrophe, that prevent  from generating a correct article-list due to a known bug in the wiki software.
 * Removing parameter  prevents the latest-article list from offering a scroll-down button.

 * Good morning and welcome to live updates of the royal wedding of and . Wikinews will be following the events throughout the day and you can contact us with your opinions as the wedding progresses either on our website, or on Twitter or Facebook. The wedding service will begin later this morning, and William and Kate's family will be in attendance at the Abbey. After the service the royal couple will travel to Buckingham Palace for the, and the bride, groom, and both their families including , will appear on the balcony.

 * 600,000 people are expected to be in London today to celebrate the marriage, and it is thought many millions will watch it around the world on television. Several hundred people have been camping along the route the couple will take for several days in a hope of seeing the newlyweds. 1,900 people have been invited to attend the ceremony inside the Abbey, including 50 foreign state heads. Kate yesterday took part in a final rehearsal with the, , and the pageboys and bridesmaids, yesterday, which William did not attend. William and Kate last night said in a message in the that they had been "incredibly moved" by the support for their marriage. The message said,

 * "We are both so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives. The affection shown to us by so many people during our engagement has been incredibly moving, and has touched us both deeply. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone most sincerely for their kindness."

 * Rail companies have said they expect 400,000 people to travel to the capital by train this morning, but insist they will be able to handle the significantly increased passenger numbers. Thousands of international journalists have also come to London, and will be reporting from specially constructed news studios around the capital. Police officials at raided numerous properties—occupied, it was reported, by —yesterday because of the wedding, but  seized on the raids as "disproportionate". The weather in London is expected to begin as cloudy and dry, brightening throughout the morning. Forecasters have warned of a 30 percent risk of rain at the time when William and Kate leave the Abbey after the ceremony, and an even greater risk of heavy showers towards the end of the day.

 * For a bit of background, here's the story so far. William was educated at, and Kate at , during which time —William's mother—was killed in a car crash in Paris, while William was aged 15. The couple met at , and moved in with each other in a flat on a quiet street. In 2004, the pair were pictured in Switzerland, before their first kiss in public two years later. But in 2007, the couple split—William began training as an  officer and it was thought the pressures of royal life began to strain the pair. "It's a surprise, because it had seemed very stable and very steady," BBC journalist  reported at the time. But several months later, they were back together again.

 * Last year, William was posted as a helicopter pilot in, Wales, and Kate joined him on the island, before their engagement was announced in November. "We are both very, very happy," William said, and Middleton said marriage into the Royal Family was a "daunting prospect," but, she added, "hopefully I'll take it in my stride." And today, they are to be married. The preparations have been continuing for weeks, and the  have been practicing maneuvers they will be performing on London's streets this morning, as is shown in the images below.

Mubarak summoned by Egyptian prosecutors to face allegations of killings and corruption

April 10, 2011

Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president in February after massive demonstrations, has been summoned by officials in the country to face questions about corruption within his administration and allegations he ordered his forces to kill activists protesting against him.

The news came hours after Mubarak announced he would cooperate with the investigation into corruption within his regime, and said he would robustly defend himself against what he termed an "unjust" campaign of "distortions, lies and incitement" against him. He made the comments in his first appearance since he was ousted from office.

His two sons have also been summoned by Egyptian prosecutors to answer to allegations of of public funds during Mubarak's rule. This afternoon, the former prime minister of Egypt,, was taken into custody for 15 days as part of the corruption investigation, the Egyptian public prosecutor said in a statement.

Mubarak said he would not be returning to politics and he had left office in "the interest of the country". He said he would write to Egyptian officials to say he would cooperate with their investigation, and added the inquest would find his assets were "far from any allegations of corruption," following which he would "legally pursue those who engaged in lies and distortions against me."

In an audio message which aired today on , Mubarak said he would not "stay silent regarding the incitement campaign against me." He said: "I have been in great pain because of the unjust campaigns and untrue allegations targeting myself and my family. They aim to tarnish my reputation and discredit my integrity, my stance, my political and military history during which I worked hard for Egypt and its people in peace and war."

On Friday, dozens were injured and at least one person killed as the Egyptian army moved into in Cairo to clear protesters calling for Mubarak to stand trial for corruption. The army has denied using, but several people suffered gunshot wounds.

Three people within Mubarak's administration have been charged with corruption by Egyptian authorities in the wake of Mubarak stepping down from his position as president two months ago after widespread protests in Egypt. Officials have denied reports he is unwell, and he is thought to be residing at his home in, on the coast of the. He has been barred from leaving the country.
