Talk:Satanism: An interview with Church of Satan High Priest Peter Gilmore

Original Reporting notes
In person interview conducted October 12, 2007 in New York City. --David Shankbone 23:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Great interview
You probably already knew it, but this is once again a fantastic interview David. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 23:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Steven :-) --David Shankbone 23:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions
DS: In a lot of religious history and doctrine was developed by people who were oppressed as a way to explain their lot, and that their oppressors were going to “get theirs in the end.” -> should be "In a lot of religious history doctrine was developed ... "? Wikisoup 19:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

right quote boxes
First off great interview as always. I noticed you added quote boxes, which I think is great, but I found I never read them as there text they were smaller then the text of the article, so it was less work for my eye to read just the article (thats also because of the formating of an interview versus a general article). Maybe we should make them bigger or something. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree something more stylized would look better. I have them there for people who just scan the article and might trip across something they find interesting, and then decide to read.  --David Shankbone 14:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

The article says 'in awhile'. Either this quote is correct and [sic] should be added; or the quote is incorrect and it should be changed to 'in a while'. Van der Hoorn (talk) 16:14, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

The article says "The Satanic Ritual is more for a formal setting", but the text is called "The Satanic Rituals" (see the link to which it leads). Self-ref (talk)
 * [[Image:Yes_check.svg|16px]] Done — Gopher65talk 19:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

The article has a link to the page of the 1993 Long Island Rail Road shooting perpetrator: Colin Ferguson. However the link points to Colin Ferguson, Canadian actor, instead of Colin Ferguson, criminal.

Paula Radcliffe makes comeback and wins New York City marathon

November 4, 2007

In a comeback after two years of inactivity due to stress fractures and becoming a mother, world record holder Paula Radcliffe from the United Kingdom has won the New York City marathon today. After leading the women's race almost all the way, she managed to shake off Ethiopian Gete Wami, who challenged her in the last mile. Third finished winner of previous two New York City marathons Jelena Prokopcuka from Latvia. The men's race was also a duel, but Martin Lel from Kenya managed to repeat his victory over Abderrahim Goumri from Morocco from the London marathon last April.

Radcliffe, 33, said that she had to think of her baby to keep up her pace: "I just kept repeating to myself 'I love you Isla' to keep my rhythm going." The elite runner has now won all seven marathons she has competed in, and has qualified for the upcoming Beijing Olympics of 2008, where she will try to rectify the forfeit from the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens.

Wami, who had just successfully defended her title in the Berlin marathon five weeks ago, still managed to take home the US$500,000 prize for winning the World Marathon Majors, a contest that spanned major races over the last two years (New York City, Boston, Chicago, London and Berlin).

In an interview just after finishing, Radcliffe expressed her grief over Ryan Shay, who died yesterday during the U.S. men's marathon trials in Central Park, by calling it "a tragedy, and it puts everything into perspective." Apparently Shay had a preexistent large heart, and died from a massive heart attack.

Wikinews talk:Comment Space

Maybe is Comments space and Neutral Point of View section we should add something like, we'd prefer comments are logically based, and rational to promote a more useful discussion. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

 * That might be helpful, but since pretty much everyone thinks that their comments are rational I'm not sure that will help much. I've no strong opinion on the matter. JoshuaZ 23:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

wmf
Should we ask the wmf for their opinion on this policy since it potentially deals with legal issues. (Seccondary question, does the wmf even officially recognize/approve/know about the comment ns). Bawolff ☺☻ 23:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

 * It may make sense to ask the foundation. I am not a lawyer, but the legal language as written was based off of what Jimbo has said and what the policies that have been adopted by the English Wikipedia. I have no idea if the Foundation is aware that we've added comments space since I wasn't involved in the discussions about comments space. It may be a good idea to see what the wmf thinks of it, and also talk to some of the other wikinews projects who may want to consider adding comments spaces as well. JoshuaZ 23:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Spanish has already enabled comment space. If I remember, Eloquence once said long ago that such a comment space would need to be approved by board, due to its relation with npov, and that never happened (to my knowladge), however I assume they know about it as its been discussed on wikinews a lot, wikinews-l, wikizine, and we've made bug requests relating to it. I assume word that it happened must have eventually drifted to them.Bawolff ☺☻ 00:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, in that case we may want to ask someone on .es how they handle comments space (it might be good advice). My spanish isn't good enough to be the go between for that. If it's ok with people here I'll send Cary a note and see what he has to say (I doubt the foundation is going to say no). JoshuaZ 00:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I have taken the issue of comments page policy on foundation-l, as well as asking for Mike Godwin's input. We already have one edit from an infrequent Wikimedian who has put the whole thing succinctly in bold, Don't be a jerk. Works for me. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Consensus
So how close is this policy to achieving consensus? I haven't seen any objections but there hasn't been activity the last few days. JoshuaZ 02:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think if nothing negative in a week, we could call it an official policy. As it stands, it is definitely aggred upon enough for proposed policy. Bawolff ☺☻ 04:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The only remaining issue then would appear to be how to rewrite the comments template to include this policy. There's a draft version at Template:Commentnew which could replace the old version of Template:Commentary. JoshuaZ 18:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks fine. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with the policy itself (though the "don't be a jerk" might be ambiguous especially across a wide range of cultures), but I do worry about our ability to enforce/maintain the policy. Who is going to be the "police"? Do I, as an admin, now have the responsibility to remove personal attacks and block the offender? What if the attack is not levied against another editor (or commenter) but rather against a person/group/company mentioned in the article? What happens if we miss a comment that violates the policy (people do comment on surprisingly old articles)? I guess we can move forward and if it becomes a real mess, we can remove the comments space altogether, like Yahoo! did with its discussion pages on news articles. --SVTCobra 01:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Like many discussions on Wikinews this seems to have died off with no real conclusion - other than people accept how the Comments space has worked so far. There have been a handful of cases where comments have been removed or comments on something unrelated have been deleted - but most comments have been allowed to stand. So, I've removed the flag template - if anyone wants to make a significant addition or input on the discussion feel free to re-add it. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite
The position on the ground has changed considerably with practice. I'm gonna have a stab at a total rework to highlight the current highly permissive view to comments: namespace. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:38, 26 June 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 EasywaySQ. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name EasywaySQ~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 23:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

University of Maine may file lawsuit against My Chemical Romance

November 4, 2007 According to a University of Maine student government representative, the university may file a lawsuit against rock band My Chemical Romance due to a cancelled show.

The band cited health concerns for drummer Bob Bryar in the cancellation notification on Thursday, but played a show on the proceeding Friday. The cancellation reason is considered an 'Act of God', and relieves both parties from any obligations.

"Unless it is truly due to sickness or injury of the band, we intend to seek full damages for breach of contract. When they played Friday night, I think that kind of voids an 'Act of God' claim," Derek Mitchell, the vice president of student entertainment said.

The lawsuit, if agreed upon by the General Student Senate, would seek US$20,500 for advertising, ticket sales, contractor fees, and cancellation fees.

Businessman Álvaro Colom wins Guatemalan Presidency

November 5, 2007

Álvaro Colom Caballeros of the National Unity of Hope has assumed the title of President-Elect following the run off phase of the 2007 Guatemalan General Election, the second election since the end of the country's violent 36 year civil war. Colom, runner up in the previous election, won the Presidency with 52.23% of the second round vote after having come in first with 28.23% in the first round, defeating runner up former General Otto Perez Molina of the Patriotic Partywho claimed 23.51% in the first round and 47.24 in the second.

The election came on the heels of a sometimes violent campaign season; over 50 candidates and activists lost their lives in the time leading up to the elections, just a handful of the 5,000 to 6,000 murders estimated to take place in the country each year.

The country, listed last among Latin American nations on the UN human development index, faces issues of growing textile jobs, corruption, and a tax base inadequate to maintain basic social services.

Your first article
Just about to read fully, looks not to bad for starting. Only thing (which is nitpicking) is both your sources are from the BBC, it'd be nice to have a source from another agency or site. Also, (a really minor nit) Use "BBC News Online". In the source template the text for the publisher name is linked to Wikipedia. BBC works, but BBC News Online goes direct to the article about their news website. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:45, 5 November 2007 (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 Betterliving. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Betterliving~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 23:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Teachers union says Melbourne Cup may be educational opportunity

November 5, 2007

A leading Queensland union says that the Melbourne Cup due to be run tomorrow at 3:00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time could be used as a valuable educational tool in the classroom.

The Queensland Teachers Union president Steve Ryan said that he supported staff making their own decisions on whether to watch the race but statistics principles could be taught in conjunction with showing the race.

Mr Ryan said that incorporating the Cup into the curriculum would make statistics 'real' to work with, rather than using textbook material. "It's about making subjects real and certainly that's a good example of how you can use a particular situation."

Many religious schools in Brisbane have chosen not to show the race due to gambling concerns.

Australia Votes 2007: Howard and Rudd take 'me-tooism' to new heights

November 5, 2007

John Howard visited a shopping centre on New South Wales' Central Coast today an hour before Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd canvassed the same spot.

Kevin Rudd certainly fell into the 'me-too' trap today after he visited the Gosford shopping centre Erina Fair this morning one hour after the Prime Minister visited the same place. When Mr Howard entered the shopping centre he was confronted by a worker who asked him who he would 'turn gay' for. The same question was asked by Network Ten show host Rove McManus the previous night.

When Howard left the shopping centre a Labor van had pulled up in the carpark. After announcing two campaign promises, Rudd entered the shopping centre and answered some journalists' questions. The Opposition Leader then went on to say to the journalists 'zob zob zob', which is a 'vernacular for a man's genitalia', according to News.com.au.

Reserve Bank of Australia considers interest rate rise

November 5, 2007

The Australian Prime Minister John Howard is bracing himself for the probable interest rate rise on Wednesday. Experts are saying that a rise is almost certain and that as many as three could occur within the next three months. Interest rates have never risen so close to a federal election (this year's election on November 24) but the Prime Minister says that some interest rate rise is unavoidable in a good economy.

"Now is not the time to replace an experienced government on economic issues with an inexperienced government," Howard warned today. Labor leader Kevin Rudd recalls the Prime Minister's promise at the 2004 election to keep interest rates low - labelled the 'big interest rate con' by the opposition leader.

Treasurer Peter Costello reaffirms the Coalition's policy on the workplace relations laws, saying that a reversal of the laws by a Labor government would push up inflation and interest rates.

Italy arrests reputed Mafia boss Lo Piccolo

November 5, 2007

Sicilian Mafia boss Salvatore Lo Piccolo, considered to be one of the successors of the former "boss of bosses" Bernardo Provenzano (arrested in April 2006), was arrested at 9:30 a.m. CET (UTC+1) in a villa in Giardinello, between Cinisi and Terrasini on Sicily. He had been on the run since 1983. His son Sandro Lo Piccolo and two other top mafiosi, Gaspare Pulizzi and Andrea Adamo, were arrested as well. All four men were among Italy's top 30 most wanted Mafia suspects, according to police officials.

Police fired several warning shots in the air as they moved in against the mafiosi, who were all armed but apparently did not put a fight. Sandro Lo Piccolo, in tears, shouted "I love you dad!" several times as he was being handcuffed. The four were put into a police helicopter and flown towards Palermo's main police station. At the police station there were scenes of jubilant disorder. As the convoy of police vehicles hurtled towards the entrance, officers wearing face masks gave "V for victory" signs to applause from a crowd outside.

The arrests came on the day that Palermo held a day of memory for all victims of the Mafia. Outside the Palermo police-station a crowd of dozens of curious onlookers began to gather as well as anti-Mafia activists.

Pax mafiosa
After the arrest of Corleonesi boss Provenzano, Salvatore Lo Piccolo and Matteo Messina Denaro were thought to be the new leaders of Cosa Nostra. Pizzini (small slips of paper used to communicate with other mafiosi to avoid phone conversations) found at Provenzano's hide-out indicated that Provenzano’s joint deputies in Palermo were Salvatore Lo Piccolo and Antonio Rotolo.

A 'pax mafiosa' initially settled in after Provenzano's arrest because neither Lo Piccolo nor Messina Denaro appeared to have sufficient forces to seek control of Cosa Nostra, according to the Italian news agency ANSA. Subsequent investigation revealed that Lo Piccolo and Messina Denaro had reached an accommodation and that the real threat to Lo Piccolo came from Rotolo who was arrested in June last year.

According to Ansa, "police were concerned by a couple of top-level hits they feared might spark a full-blown war of succession. Police said Lo Piccolo had the upper hand because he had been Provenzano's right-hand man in Palermo and his greater experience won him the respect of the older generation of bosses as they pursued Provenzano's policy of keeping as low as possible while strengthening their power network. These bosses had been reined in by Provenzano when he put an end to the Riina-driven war against the state that claimed the lives of Mafia crusaders Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992."

Strengthened links with the American Mafia
Lo Piccolo is believed to have strengthened the links between the Sicilian and American mafia. Sicilian families, who were forced to flee the island in the 1980s after losing the power struggle with the Corleonesi, were being brought back from the US to fill the void left by the arrests of Provenzano and many of his lieutenants.

In August, police arrested 14 people in an operation which uncovered close ties between local Cosa Nostra families and the US-based Mafia. According to investigators, the trans-Atlantic alliance uncovered in August involved drug trafficking and money laundering.

Lo Piccolo was reportedly betrayed by one of his closest lieutenants, Francesco Franzese, who was arrested in August. He started to collaborate with the authorities and members of Franzese's family were taken to an undisclosed location for their protection.

Founder of Alibaba Group Jack Ma talks about e-commerce in Taiwan

November 6, 2007 Following the success of "Chinatrust Global Leaders Forum" in 2005, Chinatrust Commercial Bank (CTCB), the forum organizer, invited Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group, to give the main address on the subject of "Cross-Strait e-Commerce Development" yesterday.

"We (CTCB) held this forum originally with a speech-style type, and hoped participants absorb good experiences from some world-class notabilities. At the first holding, we invited Dr. Edward Prescott forecasting the future of global economics and this invitation was finally respected by financial people in Taiwan. With trendy transformations and global popularization of the Internet in the presence, we finally decided to invite Jack Ma to share experiences from his successful management theory." Jeffery Koo (Chairman of CTCB) remarked at the opening. With Alibaba Group now entered into the Hong Kong market, Ma sees a bright future with partners' cooperation. He said: "A successful company is decided by flexible wisdoms more than its scale." Those words echoed some of the quotes he used in his speech at the forum: "Rich is a sum by team collaborations and accumulating several experiences but not money. Several valuable things can't buy with money. A company should have a long-term consideration and planning to meet success with creative, better, and different products and services."

He not only taught some strategies but also cited Chinese stories on Three Kingdoms and Tang Dynasty to point out key factors (visions, ambitions, bosoms, and actual strengths) which determine the success or failure of a company leader.

In pictures: UK celebrates Bonfire night

November 5, 2007

Every year around November 5th, people in Great Britain and some parts of the celebrate  to commemorate the dissident from  and his  conspirators who failed to blow up the houses of  on November 5, 1605. This so-called Gunpowder Plot is celebrated with firework displays and sparklers, bonfires and Guy Fawkes effigies.

Fire experts, always busy around this time of year, have called for the use of safe and legal firework displays and have urged citizens to attend organised public displays. Every year dozens of people sustain injuries due to careless handling of fireworks or fires. Notably, the city of York is not having a public firework display this year, as health and safety measures would raise costs excessively.

Events in Lewes, East Sussex (noted for Bonfire events and processions) were for the most part peacful, with only 16 arrests, mainly for public order offences. There had however been calls for certain tradtions of the Lewes events to be banned prior to the event on safety grounds.

Critics say that bonfires and fireworks are not environmentally friendly. Piles of wood prepared beforehand are attractive nests for hibernating creatures like hedgehogs, who might burn in the bonfires. Some even suggest that Fawkes' failed attack is not something to commemorate at all.

Belgium still without government, new record set

November 6, 2007 After federal elections on June 10, 2007, coalition talks in Belgium have still failed to result in compromises on the main electoral issue. The previous record from 1988 was broken today after 149 days without a new government.

Christian Democrat Yves Leterme won the elections in Flanders together with his nationalistic coalition partner, and they promised more powers for the Dutch-speaking majority. Wallonian parties however remain reluctant to give in to unilateral demands and are asking for symbolic gestures and compromises in symbolic debates over the electoral district of Brussels and Halle-Vilvoorde.

Flemish politicians argue that the time is high to split the district now, because a high court ruling from 2003 found the district unconstitutional. But their counterparts believe that everything works in two directions in Belgium, and unilateral demands have no place in a federal state.

Some progress has been made in such areas as economical reforms, but the key debate of the elections lingers on. More than ever, the future of Belgium as a federal state is at stake, although immediate independence of the economically flourishing Flemish region is not currently being discussed by the negotiators.

On Wednesday, a commission of the Flemish parliament will vote on the topic of voting rights in Brussels, and it is expected that this will again stress Flanders' call for progress on autonomy for the region. Walloon Christian-Democrat Joelle Milquet, already dubbed Madame Non (Madame No) in Flanders because of her refusal to set aside her electoral promises to her constituency, warned during the weekend that such a move would be perceived as hostile, and that she would leave the negotiations table.

Candidate Prime Minister Yves Leterme has called for unity last Friday: "It's time for government negotiators to assume their responsibility in the national interest. It's time to stop mutual provocations." Many Walloons perceive Leterme as a defender of Flemish rather than Belgian values, as a notorious quote marking the Wallonians as intellectually incapable of learning Dutch, haunts him. Belgium is a federal state made up of some 6 million Dutch-speaking citizens in the north and some 4.5 million French-speaking inhabitants south of the language border. Brussels is bilangual, and there is a minuscule German-speaking community.

With no new coalition to follow them, the previous ruling parties continue to meet under former Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt on a regular basis to make a few straightforward but necessary decisions, to avoid too many complications of the enduring political vacuum.

National Church of Scientology recognized in Spain

November 5, 2007 On 31 October 2007 the National Court in Madrid issued a decision recognizing that the National Church of Scientology of Spain should be entered in the Registry of Religious Entities.

The administrative tribunal of Madrid's High Court ruled that a 2005 justice ministry decision to scrap the church from the register was "against the law." Responding to a petition filed by the church, the ruling said that no documents had been presented in court to demonstrate it was anything other than a religious entity.

"This recognition marks the end of an era in which Spanish Scientologists were forced to fight for their rights to religious freedom. It vindicates the Church of Scientology and is a new beginning for all Spanish Scientologists," said Ivan Arjona, spokesperson for the National Church of Scientology in Spain.

The National Court examined the Church's formative documents and aims and purposes to determine that the National Church of Scientology of Spain has the right to be registered as a religion under Spanish law.

Last April, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia had blocked Scientology from registering as a church in Moscow and ordered payment of 10,000 euros (13,000 dollars) in damages. In September, Belgium federal prosecutors announced that they had finished an investigation which would likely lead to charges against the Church of Scientology including blackmail, breaking privacy laws, unlawful practice of medicine, and formation of a criminal organisation.

Bush pledges support for Turkey after meeting with PM

November 6, 2007 On Monday, the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan paid an official state visit to the United States. During his visit, he met with President George W. Bush in the White House for talks that centered on the Turkey-PKK conflict and the Iraq War.

Turkey is concerned about attacks by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) that originate from within the borders of Iraq. There have been cross-border clashes between Turkey and the PKK. Turkey has threatened a major incursion, something the US seeks to avoid, as it could upset the relative calm in northern Iraq. The PKK has been listed as a terrorist organization by a number of countries and organizations. The PKK's goal has been to create an independent socialist Kurdish state in a territory which it claims as Kurdistan, an area that comprises parts of south-eastern Turkey, north-eastern Iraq, north-eastern Syria and north-western Iran.

After the meeting, Bush said of the PKK that "they are an enemy of Turkey, they are an enemy of Iraq, and they are an enemy of the United States." He pledged additional intelligence to help Turkey, an offer that was also made by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week, during her Middle East tour.

We talked about the need to have better intelligence-sharing. In order to chase down people who murder people you need good intelligence. And we talked about the need for our military to stay in constant contact. To this end, the Prime Minister and I have set up a tripartite arrangement, for his number two man in the military to stay in touch with our number man and General Petraeus.

Bush further offered mutual military assistance with both Turkey and Iraq to fight the PKK. "We want to work in a close way to deal with this problem," he said.

Erdogan mentioned during the post-meeting news conference that the Grand National Assembly of Turkey has already authorized military action in Iraq. He did not, however, say whether such action would be imminent.

There is a lot of difficulty in the region in general. And I believe that it falls to us, it's a responsibility for us as strategic partners to work to ensure that we overcome these difficulties and solve them. I have also seen that the President and I agree on these points, and I'm very happy to see that.

Neither leader indicated to what level, if any, that direct military cooperation would exist.

Ali Babacan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Turkey, was last week not so impressed by Rice's offers. "We are at the point where words have been exhausted and where there is need for action," he said on Friday.

"The Bush administration would like to just kick this can down the road," said Bulent Aliriza, a political observer for the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The problem is, the can has been kicked down the road to the point where now it can't be kicked anymore."

Comments:National Church of Scientology recognized in Spain

Nuts... Wing Nuts... Here they're trying to sue the organisation into oblivion for being criminal and in Spain they say "you're welcome". Get a grip! --Brian McNeil / talk 23:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Where is "here" for you? "Here" for me means Scientology is charitable and tax-exempt, also all sub-organizations. Misou 23:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Brian is referring to Belgium, where the public prosecutor is sueing Scientology (see related article). --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 23:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * IT sucks, because even tho Scientology is quite an evil anti-free speech organization, it's not right to stop idiots following the religion ( any Scientologist reading don't worry im one of those evil people you should be ignoring, just like your family etc)! i think the Belgian approach is right because they're only attacking individuals who commit crimes and not the whole religion!14:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

 * In Belgium there is no "suing" happening, just phony announcements since 10 years and longer. No substance, no case. Just PR shit. Misou 22:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The wheels of justice grind slowly, I'm hoping they grind Scientology into itty bitty little pieces. The celebrities who are a front for this cult do not comport themselves as normal, rational beings. The ramblings of L. Ron Hoover should be buried in soft peat and recycled as firelighters. Instead a so-called "Church" will charge you thousands of dollars to get your hands on them. Criminal organisation? You bet your ass! --Brian McNeil / talk 22:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep, wheels of justice grind slowly and so on, that's why it took a couple of years for Spain to recognize Scientology as a religion. Any reason why you are so personally p***ed about Scientology? Misou 20:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Where to start? deceptive recruitment practices? Lisa McPherson? --Brian McNeil / talk 10:12, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't give me this brainwashed BS. What makes you swallow this trash propaganda? Having no personal clue? Misou 22:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me get this straight, you believe Lisa McPherson is a misleading Wikipedia article? Do you believe L. Ron Hubbard didn't say starting your own religion was a great way to get rich? I have access to the U.S. PACER system, so I can likely find the court documents on Lisa's case - two felony charges against the FSO. It isn't just Scientology I'm no fan of, I pretty much get unhappy at anyone who goes out of their way to try and evangelise their belief system and gain converts. However the big difference I see between Christian evangelists and Scientologists is the attitude to "sacred texts". CoS treats their documents like trade secrets and has a reputation for being extremely litigious. Christian evangelists will hand you leaflets and give away their texts because they believe they will enlighten/convert you. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know Lisa McPherson is a misleading article. Why? Because it talk about a group of millions of people all over the world and uses ONE case of wrong treatment to slander them all. Yes, Lisa M. was no treated right and should have been sent to a hospital. Yes, possible that there are a handful more cases of failed help in a 60 year history in about 150 countries. But no, this is not what Scientology is about. I read this morning that a County Sheriff in California was indicted for federal corruption charges. With your logic now it's a fact that all sheriffs are corrupt and criminals. I don't think any sane person would agree to that, no matter if the guy actually did it or not. You read the Scientology-articles on Wikipedia and you know shit about what's happening in real life. "Information" about Scientology online is going in circles, old crap and disinformation from decades ago repeated over and over. nicely kept alive by a handful of paid people. What else? You say "CoS treats their documents like trade secrets". Where did you get this nonsense from? Wikipedia again? You know, listening to people who only read "internet" about Scientology is what it must be talking to a brainwashed cult member. One-sided, fanatic, focused on "The Truth(tm)" and blind to anything else. Don't fall for it. You are better than that. Misou 17:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So where can I find out about Scientology's beliefs without paying anything? Why has the organisation earned a reputation for litigiousness? --Brian McNeil / talk 11:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Scientology Beliefs at Scientology Org, but there are many web pages that say nearly the same thing in different languages. Recently, the Church has placed several of its basic texts online, while beliefs and practices has been online for some while.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terryeo (talk • contribs) 07:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Scientology fights back. There is no humble "beat me, I am undeserving" in Scientology doctrine. Maybe this is overdone, but counting litigation I heard of, well, that's not much compared to other organizations. Maybe there are more media reports about a couple of cases and that looks "many" but is just one. Online there is a lot of rah-rah about one or two legal actions of 10 or so years ago. Sure, the same story repeated every week looks bigger than it is. Scientology texts? Do you get paid for your job? Me at least wants money for my work. And I think Scientology staff deserve that too. Most money goes in facilities and expansion (and "defense funds" or whatever it's called internally). But Scientology runs hundreds of websites, books are in libraries (donation drives every month), some books are online as PDF or HTML. Easy to find. Do you have a filter on your computer or something? Misou 07:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay Misou, you have done your job now, so please do not use this page as advertisement for Scientology stuff, thanks a lot. Jacques Divol 08:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Mister, no intent to advertise here as you can easily see without prejudice. Ads include for example the posting of URLs, brand names, articles, book titles, phone numbers or at least an address, right? I will be happy to welcome you at my side when I next see Wikinews abused for POV pushing and wikilinking to false information. Misou 19:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * no kidding please, we are intelligent people. Jacques Divol 19:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Your behavior does not indicate so. Sorry to say but I am sure you can take it, you starting the insult round. Misou 03:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Space Shuttle Discovery to return to Earth

November 5, 2007 The space shuttle Discovery is coming back to Earth after 11 days in orbit. The a scan of the Shuttle's heat shield (now routine since the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster) showed no cause for concern and Discovery was cleared for the voyage home.

The current mission, STS-120 was launched on October 23. The mission's primary purposes were to deliver the Harmony module to the International Space Station and to help reposition and extend solar power arrays.

The mission gained wide attention for including a space walk to repair damage in the solar power array. The space walk had not been planned until the mission was already underway when the damage was then detected. However, additional problems with a rotary joint were not repaired and if they are not repaired they could interfere with further station construction.

The return will also bring back Clay Anderson who is being replaced on the International Space Station by Dan Tani.

Discovery is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center at 1:02 PM EST (UTC-5) on November 7.

Comments:Bush pledges support for Turkey after meeting with PM

They are terrorists
Some news sources avoid to say that "PKK" is a terrorist organisation.These sources tell about PKK terrorists like "Kurdish rebels".But it is NOT ! They aren't giving the right information.So people suppose that "PKK is right and innocent but Turkey is wrong and oppressor".But it is not! PKK is a terrorist foundation.They killed lots of people in Turkey.Not only Turkish people also they killed originally Kurdish people like themselves because of they were Turkish citizen.PKK is a terrorist foundation like everybody knows IRA (from North Ireland) or ETA (from Spain) or like Al-Qaide.

Body language
Look at the picture and see how the two are sitting. Unlike the Turkish PM Bush has his legs crossed away from the other person and is also leaning away from them. I very much doubt this is a case of halitosis, more like Bush is doing his duty and would prefer not to. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Nice thanks for keeping this article safe, due to some issue and recent events, I'll make other interviews especially in exhibition industry in Taiwan. Currently, I can't make any interview to governmental people due to "foreign press policy" by GIO Taiwan, Did anyone have good suggestion for me? Brock contact... 07:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Interview and OR info

 * Even though temporarily suspended translating before Nov. 9 with critical issue, but this OR will be fully translated from Chinese Version.
 * This interview is finished with some help by Ogilvy PR Taiwan because of some interests. The interview photo is taken by them due to my camera accidentally experienced system and battery error, but finally agreed that photo licensing with free license, many thanks for the cooperations by Ogilvy PR Taiwan.

That's all above. Brock contact... 17:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Translation Complete
With some opposes, I still finish this translation, even though I won't translate the last 2 paragraphs from Chinese due to THIS STRONG STATEMENT. Originally, I don't want to reply with Chinese language in this site, but I should do this strong statement because in Taiwan, there's lots of difficulties to report something because of this foreign press policy by GIO in Taiwan. I think many users don't know the serious issue of this. Brock contact... 16:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Ron Paul receives US$4 million in donations in 24 hours

November 6, 2007 In late October, supporters of United States Republican candidate-for-President Ron Paul set up a website soliciting a "money bomb" of campaign donations to coincide with November 5th, the anniversary of Guy Fawkes Day, at ThisNovember5th.com.

The fund-raising campaign fell short of its original goal of 100,000 donors each donating US$100 to generate $10 million for Paul's campaign. However, the final amount raised by over 35,000 Ron Paul donors was over $4 million. This is the largest fundraising day in primary history since John Kerry's 2004 acceptance of the Democratic nomination. It was originally reported that on June 30, 2007 Hillary Clinton raised $6.5 million. According to the Paul campaign, though Clinton reported all that money on June 30th, it was in fact raised over the course of a week, not in a single day.

Paul is running for the Republican nomination but self-identifies as a libertarian. Although Paul has been successful online, in straw polls, in debate polls, in fundraising, and in turnouts at rallies, his national polling has remained in the single digits.

Caribou plays the Bowery Ballroom

November 6, 2007 Daniel Snaith, better known as Caribou, formerly known as Manitoba until a lawsuit by musician Richard "Handsome Dick" Manitoba, recently played New York City's Bowery Ballroom. Below is Wikinews reporter David Shankbone's conversation with the electronica pioneer.

'''David Shankbone: How is the tour going?
 * Caribou: It’s been really good so far.  We started with a few festivals in Europe and then  did a month around the UK, Germany and France.  Over here we just did Canada and this is the start of a big tour for us around the States.  Then Europe for another month.  It’s pretty full on, but I love playing shows.

'''DS: How do European and American audiences compare to each other?
 * Caribou: I get asked that all the time and I feel people are expecting some kind of an answer like we are better received in Europe, and I don’t know if people expect that of an electronic musician.

'''DS: But they are more electronic in Europe than they are here, right?
 * Caribou: Maybe, but my experience is that people are more similar than different in all the shows, and the reaction is more similar than different.

'''DS: You reach the same fans in each place?
 * Caribou: Yeah people are so connected to the interests that they share with other people around the world.  It’s not like one place is completely different from another anymore.

'''DS: Do you play to larger audiences over there or here?
 * Caribou: It’s about the same, again.  When we play in London we play about same size venue and size crowd as we do here.

'''DS: Do you have a favorite venue?
 * Caribou: A few, actually.  Bowery Ballroom is one of my favorites.  It's always awesome.  The sound is so good here, which is really important.  It sounds good on stage, which is important for getting into the show.  We always have really amazing crowds in this place called Richards on Richards in Vancouver.  This venue in Slovenia we played that is this old commune squat that has lots of gigs and art going over there called the Metalkova.  The best ones are the surprises we'll play in a tiny little town in some venue that is like whatever.

'''DS: What would be a dream venue to play?
 * Caribou: Something along the lines of this place we played in the south of France that was this 1920s arts patron villa where Cocteau and all these people lived and worked, and we played just outside there overlooking the French Riviera during this tiny little festival, so those ones are always fun when you just end up at some idyllic spot where they have put together a little festival with great bands.  Those tend to be in Europe, to be honest.  The surprise is part of the enjoyment when you arrive and it's like, this is an insane place to play.

'''DS: Is there a continent you haven't played where you would like to?
 * Caribou: We have never been to South America.  Brazil.

'''DS: Rio or São Paulo?
 * Caribou: I can't remember, I think people—I'd love to go to Rio, but friends who have played in Brazil have said that shows are amazing everywhere.

'''DS: How has the Iraq War affected you as an artist?
 * Caribou: Not too much, directly, to be honest.  The process of recording music, for me, is very insular.  I'm just recording at home and it's very much headspace music.  I'm escaping and I'm not a social commentarian or anything.  It's more about escaping into this world of sound in my head.  I don't think it's affected the business of us touring or anything at all.

'''DS: Has it affected you as a person?
 * Caribou: I'm an opponent of the war and I live in the UK where I live under a government that has taken troops to the war or whatever.  It hasn't changed my perspective that much where I feel there have been lots of terrible situations like this in the past and you just have to do whatever is in your power.  I was at the big march in London.  Use your vote and protest in whatever ways you can, but I haven't dropped everything in my life and drastically changed my life.

'''DS: Do you find you're more inspired by manmade things or things in nature?
 * Caribou: I think manmade things, but specifically ideas.  I'm not interested in things in the real world as much as I am interested in mental ideas and mental contexts.  That's why I did a PhD in Pure Maths, this elegance of pure ideas and things that are somewhat intangible and about ideas.   Music is very much like that, playing around with ideas and creating this aesthetic of sound.

'''DS: What sort of ideas inspire you?
 * Caribou: In mathematics at the PhD level when I was studying was about constructing these elaborate systems and concepts, playing around with them, and fitting them together.  More than ideas is playing around with the ideas, constructing them, and creating something out of them.  For example, in music I will have an idea to put some different sounds together or a melody that meshes with a chord sequence or a sonic mood, or whatever.  I'm not the type of person who takes physical things apart and plays around with them, but I like taking mental ideas apart and playing around with them.  That's what appeals to me about what I've spent my life doing.

'''DS: Would you consider your music to be mathematical?
 * Caribou: No, not at all.  It's completely aesthetic almost.  It's about tinkering around with ideas in my head and seeing what kind of sound that actually produces.

'''DS: Do you have a favorite mathematician or unsolved mathematical problem?
 * Caribou: I'm not that kind of person.  I liked doing mathematics and learning about it, but I was never into mathematical history beyond what I was working on.

'''DS: What's a trait you deplore in other people?
 * Caribou: Apathy or laziness.  I'm the kind of person who is always doing something and get excited about something, and I find it frustrating when people get good ideas that are interesting and don't make the most of that.  Anything I want to do, I'm all about doing it as much as possible.  Meanness, selfishness, obviously.

'''DS: What’s a trait you deplore in yourself?
 * Caribou: It’s probably twined with my possessiveness and being too controlling of the things I’m doing, which is probably related to the fact I’m so excited to do things.  That’s the flip side of it, I suppose.  Even more so, my self-centeredness.  I spend all my time making this music, and I’m really proud of it and happy with it, but I kind of feel it is indulging my interests.

'''DS: You think that might be a negative?
 * Caribou: I do, because there are better things I could be doing in this world.  I don’t know, I could be more helpful to humanity than just sitting in my room making music, but I enjoy doing it so much that I make the decision to do it.

'''DS: That's a challenge for any human of whether or not to pursue something you think is a greater good or indulge yourself. How do you wrestle with that question?
 * Caribou: I guess like most people I avoid it to a certain degree.  I hopefully strike some kind of compromise, but very heavy on doing what I’m excited about.

'''DS: Well, we need music in this world and if people are responding to it, you’re giving something to them.
 * Caribou: Yeah, I hope so, or maybe you are just trying to make me feel good.

'''DS: Maybe. [Laughs] Hillary or Barack?
 * Caribou: My gut reaction would be Barack, but I’m not really on top of American politics to endorse either.

'''DS: What do you think of Gordon Brown?
 * Caribou: He's a funny one to pin down.  I can’t figure him out.  The effect of having him in government is probably going to be pretty close to the effect of having Tony Blair in government, which is a shame.  I’d like to see someone more old Labour and Socialist, I guess.  There's always a hint that he is that, but I don’t think it will be reflected in his policies.

'''DS: What would be a bigger turn-off for you in bed, someone who was overly flatulent, or someone who spoke in a baby voice?
 * Caribou: I could get over the baby voice, but the flatulence is a tough one to stomach.

'''DS: Do you have a favorite curse word?
 * Caribou: Nothing is springing to mind.

'''DS: Favorite euphemism for breasts?
 * Caribou: Nope.

'''DS: If you had to choose between the destruction of the entire continent of Africa or the entire continent of Asia, which would you choose?
 * Caribou: Oh, God.  So, population-wise.  It’s tempting…I think that is the only way to choose.  Killing a greater number of people has to be a greater evil.  That’s maybe the bottom line.  I would hate to make that decision.

'''DS: What are traits you respect in a woman?
 * Caribou: The same traits I look for in anybody else in the world: kindness, thoughtfulness.

'''DS: It doesn’t differ in men?
 * Caribou: No.  Being a nice human being is what I look for in anybody.

'''DS: What’s your most treasured possession?
 * Caribou: I have a massive record collection I obsess over, and it would be hard to let that go.

'''DS: Any favorite films?
 * Caribou: I haven't been able to see any in the last couple of months, but in the last year I went through a complete Herzog obsession.  I watched all of his films, I read Herzog on Herzog and even read Kinsky’s biography.  Almost all of his films are incredible.

'''DS: What difficult question in an interview do you anticipate but are never asked?
 * Caribou: I actually don’t anticipate the difficult ones, which is why when you asked me to destroy one continent I didn’t see that one coming.

'''DS: What question are you tired of answering?
 * Caribou: The ones I get asked the most, and I don’t mind answering them, but I don’t relish answering them: I had to change my name from Manitoba to Caribou a couple years back due a law suit.   I don't mind this one anymore, but at first I got asked that in every interview.  And also, the connection between mathematics and music, which you asked me in a form.  That’s a valid question, though, because it’s a point of interest about the way that I work.  The lawsuit is like reciting a history of facts I’d rather forget.

'''DS: In the last year, where have you drawn most of your influence, and you can’t have been listening to them beyond a year ago.
 * Caribou: The big thing for me in the last year that is reflected in this album more than in previous ones is songwriting.  I never wrote songs I just built tracks out of loops.  There were melodies in them, but there wasn’t any structure to the songs.  One artist I didn’t’ listen to before a year ago was Ariel Pink who is a lo-fi indie songwriter and producer.  His production is amazing, but it turns people off because it’s so lo-fi; but also, his song-writing is amazing.
