Chinese premier Wen Jiabao visits Shakespeare's birthplace

June 27, 2011 Chinese  paid a visit to the birthplace of English playwright and poet  on Sunday. The visit to was included in his three-day tour of various industries in Britain. The UK is one of China's biggest trading partners, second only to the EU.

The 68-year-old Wen, reportedly a fan of Shakespeare, was met upon his arrival at Stratford-upon-Avon by dozens of flag-waving individuals from the. He visited Shakespeare's birthplace, which is now a museum and then attended a scene from  Shakespeare's "", his favourite play, while sitting in the "sun-drenched" garden. He toured the collection of treasures at the town's. On his tour at the Trust, lasting half an hour longer than planned, he looked through a 17th-century folio of Shakespeare's famous plays. Trust director Diana Owen, who talked with Wen during his informal tour, said Wen described Shakespeare as "the greatest writer of all time."

Wen told that his  love of Shakespeare began as a child.

"The local people here have every reason to take pride that this place has produced a figure who belongs not only to the UK but to the world," Mr Wen said to Sky News. "A great man who belongs not just to his era but to entire history."

The Chinese leader's arrival in England came days after the announcement of activist and dissident sculptor 's release by Beijing last Wednesday, after a global call for his release. The announcement, made before Wen's meeting today with David Cameron, was likely discussed along with the issue of  and trade deals. There were several protesters outside, who held a banner that read "Cameron and Wen: human rights before trade".

The goal of the visit, part of a three-nation tour of Europe, is the strengthening of economic ties between the two countries. China is increasingly outsourcing its own manufacturing to less costly labour markets and wants to increase its investments in established European brands. Today, China and Britain announced contracts worth over one billion pounds. , whose wife is Chinese, was hopeful that Wen's visit would have a positive effect on the country's tourism industry. He told, "I am hoping that a billion Chinese might see some pictures on their TV of their premier coming and visiting the birthplace of Shakespeare, and thinking: 'Well, I'd like to go there as well.' " Hunt noted that 150,000 Chinese visit the UK yearly and thinks that is "the tip of the iceberg".

Hunt stressed that Wen's visit is not only about jobs. It is also about developing broader cultural ties "which is the best possible way to make sure we understand each other and avoid the kind of misunderstanding that so can bedevil relationships, as has happened in the past," he told the BBC.

The Chinese are interested in British happenings. About 30 million Chinese watched.

Thread:Comments:New York legalizes same-sex marriage/We need more/reply

Unfortunately that's not very likely to happen, there are more states out there currently that would vote against it than there are that would vote for it. What we really need is a court case taken to the supreme court from say a couple that got married in a state where it was legal and then moved to a state that it wasn't, and where said state refuses marriage benefits to said couple.

Trump criticizes media bias towards Obama, especially during UK state visit
One of the sources was a YouTube page containing MSNBC footage, evidently captured live (no ads), evidently not an official MSNBC source. The immediate action I took was to summarily remove that "source" and one large paragraph of the article that itself claimed to be describing "footage". --Pi zero (talk) 11:44, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Subsequently, I have also hidden the text of the revisions containing that source and the text that I understand to be based on it. (I also re-verified the remaining text from the remaining sources.) --Pi zero (talk) 12:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Copy edit disallowed?
Today I made the following copy edit after the article had already been published for 24 hours. The edit does not add any new information to the article, it just clarifies what is being said. Should the copy edit be disallowed? --William S. Saturn (talk) 21:30, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

 * In my opinion, yes, it should be. 24 hours after the article is published, effectively the only things you're allowed to do are typo correction, and retraction of the story should it be warranted. Anything other than that is pretty much a no-no. BarkingFish (talk) 21:37, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Then why are the articles not archived after 24 hours?--William S. Saturn (talk) 21:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Archiving an article removes it from the main page, and imho it should remove it from the main page, because it'd be just unfriendly, in an anti-wiki way, to have articles on the main page that are actually fully protected. Limited in what edits will be accepted is one thing; fully protected is another.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I see a couple of changes to the information; however, I've only looked at the bit in the diff so maybe I'm missing stuff covered further down in the article: your edit adds 'former' (Note: that could indicate the present version is in error, which might warrant a minor correction), and you remove the detail the initial run was unopposed. That, to me, tips the balance in favour of rejecting the edit. I just might have sighted the edit but for that, although I also rather agree with PiZ's interpretation of the rules; c/e should be exceptionally minimal if at all, but perhaps a wider discussion on that wouldn't go amiss. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:41, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I just corrected the factual error as minimally as I could. Perhaps that will solve this issue, though the larger issue of copy-editing still remains. --William S. Saturn (talk) 22:30, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * For a factual error past 24 hours, we'd issue a correction notice. I'm afraid I'm not entirely clear on the nature of the error.  Could you explain it?  Then we can work out wording for a minor correction notice.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:57, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just forget it. I'm getting really tired of this nonsense. This is unprofessional, unnecessary and ignorant. In what way does one word constitute a "substantial" change?--William S. Saturn (talk) 23:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Any changing of facts is substantial on a project where facts as-known at the time are the focus. Further, unlike an encyclopedia - by its nature, always a work in progress - simply 'fixing' factual errors is somewhat unfair to our readers, who deserve us to admit to mistakes being made. Wrongness should be dealt with by correction template, as-mentioned above; I suggest This article mistakenly identifies as 's current tax assessor; in fact, he is a former holder of the role. It's a fairly minor error, so I daresay readers will be forgiving. :) Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 23:14, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, so put a big ugly red thing at the top of the page because the word 'former' is missing.--William S. Saturn (talk) 23:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * So, the core issue is that Hedges is a former tax assessor, rather than a tax assessor? --Pi zero (talk) 23:35, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. It's not incorrect to label him as a tax assessor, but it certainly would be better to add former in front. However, I'm against adding a big red banner to the top of the article to show this. I also removed the word "after" since it was unnecessary. These edits are as minor as it gets and the article is not archived so I see no need to make a big deal about this.--William S. Saturn (talk) 23:51, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * On the "former" issue: I wholeheartedly agree it doesn't warrant a big ugly banner at the top. I can think of two possible approaches.  One is to just leave it, since as you say it isn't actually incorrect per se.  The other is something I recall Brian McNeil suggesting for some small issue with an article a while back: a correction notice at the bottom of the article.  --Pi zero (talk) 00:17, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * For "former" I guess it's best to just leave it as it is. But what about the unnecessary word "after"?--William S. Saturn (talk) 00:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * A careful re-read of this conversation shows me commenting an issue may be an error, it being described in the next post as a factual error, and then a reversal of opinion to it not being an error. I'm left somewhat confused as to what is accurate, what is inaccurate and what is grey. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 00:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I mischaracterized the situation at 22:30. I stand by my initial post here. The edit was a clarification.--William S. Saturn (talk) 00:30, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. :) I won't attempt to think further on this, since it's getting late in my timezone and I'm liable to make a mess of things. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 00:41, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I've given this a casual look-over. My opinion? Diego is being slightly dickish. The policy he's applying is sound, and a cornerstone of enWN, but should not have been applied in that last diff I looked at. I'm going to add a new WC section to cover this in a more general manner; I also not William and Diego have clashed on US vs American - that should probably be covered in the SG. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Clarification on edits to published articles
It would (from above, and elsewhere) seem that edits to published articles are again becoming a bone of contention. They shouldn't be, mainly because we should all have the same philosophy and outlook when it comes to a news article.

We have, as a hard rule, the point that sources published later than an article should not be added and drawn from. This can simply be described as "not stepping on Wikipedia's toes"; our coverage is a "snapshot", what is known at a specific point in time, and easily subject to "Fog of War" issues. That's actually a good thing – even if it makes us look somewhat foolish later on. Leave playing "Ministry of Truth" to Wikipedia. If general perception surrounding an issue or item of news is wrong, our coverage may be so too - but preserving such is important as a historical record.

Some of the above concerns me because I feel there should be more give-'n'-take between well-established contributors. William and Diego both qualify as such; I'll take Diego's side on the US vs American argument (I've linked to the wikt definition); we must remember, and respect, our international audience; Diego is an American, but he's most certainly not in the United States.

However, per the above section, I'm on William's side. The one-word insertion of "former" is non-controversial.

So, can I ask reviewers to start considering who has carried out c/e work on an already-published article? (/me stares hard at Diego). If you're dealing with changes by someone with a dozen-plus articles - who has done OR - then, if you're unhappy at a change, try to avoid reverting; instead challenge them on the talk page of the article to justify what is acceptable. The litmus test for me is: "If a MSM did the change, would you be feeling cheated?" --Brian McNeil / talk 07:54, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I should point out that, although Diego has certainly taken the hard-line position, I am the one who rejected William's original edit, and I've taken the hard line in the specific positions I've expressed thereafter. I took the hard line last night on the word "former", maintaining we should either leave it be (since William says it's not technically incorrect), or add a correction note at the bottom of the article (since it's clearly not worth a big ugly note at the top).  I hadn't yet taken a position on the removal of unnecessary word "after", deciding instead to let everything cool and gel over night, but after sleeping on it I'm honestly inclined to a hard line on that — we had a troll a while back who was endlessly fiddling with details of phrasing on a several-day-old article, and we maintained then that you don't keep fiddling after the 24-hour horizon.  I wouldn't hesitate to fix a "the the" -> "the", or noun-verb agreement, or perhaps some other, slightly more intrusive straightforward grammatical errors, but I would not consider stylistic phrasing preferences to be within bounds.

 * Also note, BTW, all this started on my talk page, and after some back-and-forth I suggested it should come here for a larger sampling of perspectives. --Pi zero (talk) 11:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * And having said that myself, I'm truthfully thinking unnecessary words —I mean truly unnecessary ones, that add nothing, like the excess thats we all love to hate— might reasonably be classified as borderline "grammar", so deleting them would be within archive policy. --Pi zero (talk) 13:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * A very minor copyedit can be said to leave things effectively unchanged. The key question is if the substance of what is said has been changed. I do seem to recall pushing the policy to its most permissive limit to play slightly with wording of some of Diego's Spanish-to-English translations; I left these unsighted seeking second opinion, if I recall correctly. As such, I'd lean towards allowing small copyedits after sleeping on it. However, such should be done sparingly. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:22, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I think maybe I sighted at least one such late copyedit (i.e., one pushing the policy that you'd made to Diego's translation).

 * I'm struggling to understand and articulate the simple heuristic that I sense should underlie this. When does a mechanical "fix" to improve clarity become an error warranting a correction?  And when does it become mere tampering with stylistic choices in the article?  (I just  from an article from 2006, and I don't feel I was in any danger of crossing the line.  But I'd like to be able to explain why I felt safe in doing it.)  --Pi zero (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't a computer program; it's the messy, gloriously ugly, English language. There is no "simple heuristic". I'm all for "that is a four-letter-word" being applied, even to archived articles. But, on other items, there is no clear dividing line, only shades of grey. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Sounds like we have different understandings of the word heuristic; indeed, I see my usage is not particularly consistent with Wiktionary's entry either (which in theory could mean I'm using it wrong, but I'll assume it means Wiktionary's entry is incomplete at least until I've had time to chase it down in, say, three of the hardcopy dictionaries we keep on our bookshelves :-). FWIW, I'd consider stunningly obvious a somewhat weak description of "this isn't a computer program".  --Pi zero (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * So can the initial copy edit be restored since the substance was effectively unchanged?--William S. Saturn (talk) 22:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd object to that. It still seems to me that the initial copyedit did change substance, and on top of that, there was gratuitous stylistic fiddling, which shouldn't be allowed.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Comment Space
I feel this now adequately represents feeling on the issue. Opening it up to the floor, as it were. In particular: Can we now make this policy? I think it fairly reflects all the discssions and conventions that have surrounded this, and we currently lack any sort of policy on this. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:58, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Suggestion: make it a guideline, rather than a policy. Feels less bureaucratic that way, and less an invitation to wikilawyering.  --Pi zero (talk) 14:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree it should be a guideline as-opposed to a policy. As you'd see, I wikilinked to the Nazi interview, and comments namespace. I'd suggest perhaps another short paragraph linking to what's likely to be the limits most admins will tolerate. That might require wider input. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * A collapsed list of examples and which side of the line they fall might give more flexibility. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 20:36, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:New York legalizes same-sex marriage/We need more/reply (2)

Interestingly, one of my colleagues at work married her partner in New York state when same-sex marriage was, previously, legal.

When they revoked the law, her marriage was no longer recognised; she was deemed to have overstayed her visa by years and, was arrested by immigration and spent nine months in jail. Yes, they went to the house where she lived with her partner and took her out, hands handcuffed behind her back, between two officers making sure her feet didn't touch the ground.

That's the ugly face of people who're against gay marriage.

Scientists discover 300 new species on island of Luzon in the Philippines

June 26, 2011 Scientists have identified more than 300 previously unknown species of land and sea creatures, according to a news release from the. They were discovered on a six-week-long expedition that ended in early June, and focused on the Philippine island of Luzon.

The California Academy of Sciences, together with over two dozen Philippine colleagues, conducted the expedition that recorded the new terrestrial and marine life forms. Academy scientists who work in exotic places frequently discover new species, commonly only a few at one time. Finding 300 species that may be unknown on a single expedition is considered to be extraordinary, according to SF Gate.

The findings will be confirmed using microscopes and. The identification, scientific description and classification of each specimen as new or old, could take many months or even years.

The expedition leader, Terry Gosliner, an who is also  Dean of Science at the California academy, said, "The Philippines is one of the hottest of the  for diverse and threatened life on Earth. Despite this designation, however, the biodiversity here is still relatively unknown, and we found new species during nearly every dive and hike as we surveyed the country's s, s, and the . The species lists and distribution maps that we created during this expedition will help to inform future conservation decisions and ensure that this remarkable  is afforded the best possible chance of survival." He emphasized the need for scientists to gather in-depth information about the rare life forms there so they can be given a chance to survive.

On the 42-day expedition, academy officials said in the news release that the creatures found include "dozens of new insects and spiders, deep-sea armored, ornate s, bizarre new s and s, a shrimp-eating , and over 50 colorful new s."

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 Clb. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Clb~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Chinese political dissident Hu Jia freed as Chinese Premier Wen visits Britain

June 28, 2011

The Chinese government released human rights activist from prison on Sunday after he had served over three years for subversion. His release, which had been scheduled in advance, occurred just days after controversial artist was unexpectedly released on bail after three months of detention.

Hu was released on the same day that Chinese Premier  began his visit to Britain, the first country  on his three-nation Europe trade tour.

Described by the as a "mild-mannered, slight figure who suffers from liver ailments", the 37-year-old Hu is  a prominent Chinese dissident who had  spent years campaigning for, , and on behalf of suffers of  before his imprisonment. He was imprisoned in April 2008 for "inciting to subvert state power" by writing articles about human rights in the period before the 2008 Olympic Games. He had also given many interviews to foreign news media and government embassies. He was first detained in December 2007 and his arrest came after he had spent more than 200 days under. In 2008 while in prison, he won the for freedom of thought,  awarded by the European Parliament.

Hu's wife Zeng Jinyuan said via Twitter that her husband lost his political rights upon his release and cannot speak to the media for a period of one year.

Hu was briefly interviewed on Sunday via telephone by, and indicated that despite the danger, he would not give up his work. "(My parents) have told me to just be a normal citizen and don't confront the system because this system is very cruel, using the country's absolute power to violate people's dignity without restraint. But I can only tell my parents I will be careful", he said.

Although recent releases of high-profile dissidents such as Hu and Ai may seem to some that China is loosening its repressive policies against dissidents, activists and academics said yesterday that the determination of the Chinese government to silence dissent has not lessened and those speaking up continue to be rounded up and detained.

Huang Qi, a dissident released this month from prison and interviewed by telephone, said, "We closely follow dozens of rights' defense cases, and I've found that that at the  and lowest levels of society in China, the rights defense environment has not seen any fundamental improvements." He warned, "One cannot count how many ordinary people are being locked up or taken away every day."

However, Wan Yanhau who is a Chinese activist living in the US said  there might be a short term diminishing of the crackdowns on human rights activists. He suggested the government could be realizing that the harsh treatment of dissidents has not stopped recent episodes of unrest. The riots by migrant workers in the  province and protests by ethnic  are recent examples. Further, China is receiving harsh criticism from European countries with which it wants to increase trade.

But illegal detentions are increasing, according to Nicholas Bequelin of Human Rights Watch, and are signs that China is not moving toward compliance with international norms.

Funeral held for former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba

June 27, 2011

, former President of Zambia, has been laid to rest in the capital,. Chiluba is credited with introducing democracy to the nation.

Chiluba led protests that caused then-President to agree to an election, which Chiluba won in 1991. During his two terms in office he allowed foreigners to invest in the nation. He relinquished his post in 2001 after attempts to modify the constitution to allow a third term saw his turn to face protests.

Chiluba was a figure of some controversy, being implicated in various corruption allegations. Charged locally in 2002, a six-year trial produced an acquittal but a separate trial in London saw a fraud conviction in 2007. The British court ordered a repayment of 36 million, but the Zambians never enforced the ruling. Chiluba also faced accusations of heavy-handed approaches to his opposition; outspoken journalists were imprisoned, and politicians were dismissed for critical remarks.

Public opinion has remained sympathetic to the former ruler, whose funeral was attended by hundreds. It was projected on large screens and broadcast on state TV. Current President, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo , Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, and numerous provincial chiefs were among those present.

Mozambique's President,, sent condolences; both Mozambican Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Co-operation Eduardo Bacio Koloma and Ambassador to Zambia Maria Leocadia attended the funeral at Belvedere Lodge. Chiluba's widow Regina and ex-wife Vera Tembo both attended.

Chiluba was buried beside his successor, who died in 2008. Only former Presidents are buried at the cemetery. Chiluba's final years were spent at home on the grounds of ill-health; he was already unable to leave the country owing to the confiscation of his passport.

Koloma said the leader would be remembered beyond Zambia for his championing of democracy. Mwaba Mushota, a friend of Chiluba, praised the man's representation of workers.

No cause of death has been released for Chiluba, who died at his Lusaka home more than a week ago.

So lets cheat the system because you, being the minority, knows what is right/best for the majority?

Thread:Comments:Prohibition Party holds convention; nominates Jack Fellure for U.S. President/Florida ballot in 2012/reply (4)

It's ironic that you say that on the same day that former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was convicted of corruption. (worse, he was convicted of trying to sell Obama's former Senate seat!) And the really sad part is that Illinois politics really hasn't seemed to change that much! :(

As much as we try to prevent it, the modern politician simply does not have the incentive to put his or her constituents before anything else! To extend my comments to a more nationwide perspective, take a look at Obama as an example. Despite all of his campaign promises, much of what he does now is political theater. The "beer summit" he held with that Harvard professor and the Cambridge cop was purely a PR stunt. The health care "debate" he held with congressmen from both parties was hardly a debate at all. Political debates, especially debates in Congress, have degenerated into prepared speeches. By the time the congressmen show up for "debate", they made up their minds on how they're going to vote already, and there really is no effort by anyone to persuade the other side about the merits of their own position.

All of this, however, is not a sign that democracy is dead, per se. Rather, it is a reminder to all of us about its harmful side effects. If you take a look at California's political system, you would see that direct democracies really aren't that great. Sure, the people get to vote on their own laws, and they do so only after vigorous debate throughout the state. But the resulting set of laws is one that not that many people are happy with, and the government is now stuck with a huge budget crisis.

So while it would be nice to give the electorate more choices in the ballot, I think we should be wary of any efforts to hand large, unrestricted powers to the people. That would be too far of a step beyond where we need to be.

Yes, that's what happened in the 2008 presidential elections. But I'm wondering why people are voting for third party candidates.

I've heard that most people who are dissatisfied with the Democratic and Republican candidates just don't vote at all. I wonder what would happen if all voters were required to vote, similar to what is done in Australia.

Then perhaps the third party candidates would become more important in elections and the campaigning would accomplish something. Maybe I'm just being hopeful.

Thread:Comments:Scientists discover 300 new species on island of Luzon in the Philippines/glad that new species are being discovered!

At the Field Museum in Chicago, there's this exhibit explaining that fact that we're in a mass-extinction right now. Due to human activity (urbanization, construction, logging, etc), tens of thousands of species go extinct every year. There was even this digital display that showed the number of species that had gone extinct since 8 am that morning — approximately four species went extinct every hour. It was really depressing to see, especially when you watched that "extinct species" count go up every so often.

Having said that, I'm glad to hear that new species have been discovered! Hopefully this news will help to educate others about the world we live in, and the importance of respecting the livelihoods of our fellow species.

Thread:Comments:Libyan rebels in Misrata restrict press freedoms/So finally the rebel facist imperial terrorists true colors are showing

-According to Mohammed Durat, an official in charge of the Misrata media center, the changes have come about because authorities "are afraid of spies from Gaddafi." He also said that the new restrictions are intended to benefit reporters, saying that "[w]e are caring about you, we don't want you to get any bad thing" and that "[y]ou should be happy about this."-

Yeah Right - This was expected from the rebels who are nothing but imperial terrorists. Have you noticed how a number of them wear the headgear of the saudis, their loyalties are to the wahabis saudis not to Libya, not to its people, and not even to ALLAH. They are fascistic loony fundamentalists who want to re-institute the monarchy of the pro american pedophile king idris and use religion as a way to justify that rule like the saudis are doing.

Workers in Greece have gone on strike in protest against the government's second round of austerity packages. Greek prime minister announced €28 billion in cuts Monday; loans worth up to €155 billion from the European Union and International Monetary Fund depend on the measures passing.

Tens of thousands of workers are planning to march through Athens and five thousand police officers have been brought into the capital to supervise the strike. Most public services in Greece are affected, including hospitals, ambulances, trains, buses, ferries and even air traffic control. The Athens metro will remain open "so as to allow Athenians to join the planned protests in the capital." Thanassis Pafilis, an MP with the Greek Communist Party, said that the budgetary measures "are a massacre for workers' rights," adding, "It will truly be hell for the working man. The strike must bring everything to a standstill."

With a sixteen percent unemployment rate in Greece, between 70 and 80 percent of Greek citizens oppose the cuts. The measures are "tough and in many respects unfair," said Greek finance minister Evangelos Venizelos, but the government continues to push for austerity measures, as failure to secure credit may force the government and banks of Greece to default as early as July on the €380 billion in debt owed to France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and Spain.

Wall collapse kills twelve in Chhattisgarh, India

June 28, 2011

Twelve people have died and twenty more were wounded following the collapse of a wall in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. At the time of the collapse Tuesday, the wall was supporting a shed under which residents were seeking shelter from heavy rain.

"I have been told that a shed of my bungalow collapsed where daily wagers gather every day seeking work," said police superintendent OP Pal. He is away from his house in, where the incident occurred, taking leave in Uttar Pradesh. Chhattisgarh authorities have promised to compensate each death, and  for those injured.

The shed was used as a bus shelter. The victims had been hoping to travel out of town.

Ambikapur mayor Prabodh Minj said the 10-foot (3.05-metre)-tall outer wall &nbdash; built for security &nbdash; had been unmaintained for years. However, he attributes the cause of its collapse to the rainfall.

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 Gideon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gideon~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)

Philippine Foreign Secretary Del Rosario to visit China amid South China Sea territorial dispute

July 3, 2011

Philippines Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario is scheduled to visit China from July 7 to 9, raising hopes that a territorial dispute between the two countries may be resolved.

A six-nation dispute has escalated in the sea concerning to several islands including the. The area is thought to be rich in natural gas and oil. Both the Philippines and China wish to have a peaceful resolution to this conflict. "I’ve been invited to Beijing and we’re looking for peaceful means to settle the challenges facing us," said Del Rosario.

The news comes after the United States and the Philippines began a series of naval exercises last week in the, scheduled to last for 11 days. A Philippine military commander stated that the drills are part of an annual series of activities taking place under a defense agreement between the two countries and have nothing to do with the territorial dispute.

The Philippines maintains a close relation with the U.S. as a former territory of the nation.

The drills come at a time when several competing disputes in the South China Sea have begun to intensify. "Since February 25th, we actually have noted as many as nine intrusions of different varieties, but clearly becoming more aggressive and more frequent," said Del Rosario. Several countries in Asia, including China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, and Taiwan, have territorial claims in the area spanning the Spratly and. The region may be rich in oil and gas reserves. The US and Philippines have urged the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to address the conflict.

Hillary Clinton has argued that the United States would remain neutral regarding the disputes. She has also said that the United States has a "national interest" in, respect for international law, and unimpeded, lawful commerce in the South China Sea." Both countries are bound by a 1951.

On June 27, the US Senate unanimously passed a motion condemning "the use of force by naval and maritime security vessels from China in the South China Sea." China, on the other hand, has stated that it will not use force to resolve disputes in the South China Sea.

US Supreme Court rules video games are protected speech

June 29, 2011 In a 7-2 decision handed down on Monday, the US Supreme Court struck down California's violent video game law and ruled that are protected speech covered by the. The California law banned the sale and rental of violent video games to.

The underlying question was whether the violence in video games has the ability to affect children more than violence in other media, such as books, movies, plays and other forms of entertainment.

Justice, writing for the majority, said that depictions of violence have never been regulated by the US government. Thus violent videos are not to fall under government control as does  but is to be accorded the same First Amendment protections as other forms of entertainment. The sale of violent video games is not to be criminalized and California's attempt to do so was "unprecedented and mistaken." Scalia noted, referring to, that "the books we give children to read—or read to them when they are younger—contain no shortage of gore."

The beginning of the decision states, "Video games qualify for First Amendment protection. Like protected books, plays, and movies, they communicate ideas through familiar  and features distinctive to the medium. And 'the basic principles of ...do not vary' with a new and different communication medium."

"The most basic principle—that government lacks the power to restrict expression because of its message, ideas, subject matter, or content,, 535 U. S. 564, 573—is subject to a few limited exceptions for historically unprotected speech, such as , , and . But a legislature cannot create new categories of unprotected speech simply by weighing the value of a particular category against its social costs and then punishing it if it fails the test."

The justices were not convinced by the existing research that the pose a greater risk to society because of their interactive nature. None of the results of the existing research put before the court showed that violent games cause violent behavior. "Psychological studies purporting to show a connection between exposure to violent video games and harmful effects on children do not prove that such exposure causes minors to act aggressively. Any demonstrated effects are both small and indistinguishable from effects produced by other media. Since California has declined to restrict those other media, e.g., Saturday morning cartoons, its video-game regulation is wildly under-inclusive, raising serious doubts about whether the State is pursuing the interest it invokes or is instead disfavoring a particular speaker or viewpoint."

According to Nadine Kaslow, professor and chief psychologist at and, the   evidence regarding the. While there is evidence to suggest that exposure of children to violence results in more aggressive and less pro-social behavior, some studies show there is no negative effect, she said. She point out that toy guns were popular and parents monitored whether toy guns were allowed in the home.

This ruling does not prevent private retailers from placing restrictions on their sale of  video games. The video game industry currently has its own, much like that used for movies, and educates retailers in using the rating system to prevent minors from buying mature-rated games. According to the industry's compliance is better than that of other entertainment industries. Further, parental controls have been added to game consoles.

The view of the that a better strategy is the education of parents rather than court battles.

Debris narrowly misses International Space Station

June 29, 2011

passed within a short distance of the International Space Station (ISS) Tuesday, forcing the crew to enter their to be ready to depart in case of a collision. The debris ultimately missed the orbital outpost and passed within of the station at 12:08  (8:08 ).

Approximately half an hour after the closest approach of the debris, the crew were given the all-clear to reenter the space station from their escape capsules.

Under normal circumstances and had mission controllers known about the collision threat sooner, the crew would have used the station's thrusters to maneuver out of the path of the oncoming debris.

The size of the debris that threatened the station and its crew in this instance was not immediately known; however, even small fragments can become a major concern due to their high speed.

Had the debris struck the ISS, the crew would have sealed their Soyuz spacecraft and departed the station.

There are six people aboard the ISS and two Soyuz spacecrafts docked to the station. Each Soyuz contains accommodations for three people.

This is not the first time that debris threatened the ISS and its crew. A similar incident occurred in March 2009. Estimations show that there are more than 300,000 pieces of debris in over  in length, which travel several thousands of kilometers per hour.

Talk:US Supreme Court rules video games are protected speech

Title
I think the title should be "Supreme Court rules that California Violent Video Game law is unconstitutional". I cannot change the title, presumably because I am not autoconfirmed. Ryan Vesey (talk) 22:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * My opinion is the "unconstitutional" is too vague, as it doesn't say why it is unconstitutional and doesn't imply that such rules would violate the First Amendment in any state, not just California. The overriding point of the ruling is that video games fall under the protection of the First Amendment, like other works of art, as it expresses ideas and therefore cannot be regulated. This is in contrast to pornography which can be regulated and is not protected. Perhaps another headline like "US Supreme Court rules video games are protected under the First Amendment"? I know from experience that US has to be in the title, else the country is not identified in the headline.  Mattisse (talk) 20:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I hope you weren't trying to change the title as I was writing it, as I would have lost all my edits if you had. Then I would have to rewrite the whole article from scratch. Mattisse (talk) 20:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

 * A tip to prevent - or at least reduce - edit conflicts: Use Editing. I also tend to copy all my text each time before hitting save. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:18, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. It has happened several times that someone has redirected the article and I have lost all my careful edits! But don't you think that the article's editor should be at least informed before a redirect takes place while the article is still in development? For one thing, sometimes the focus of the article changes while the editor is writing and learns more. What is the hurry about redirecting before an article is finished? Mattisse (talk) 21:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess people tend to see the title more than anything else since it's in recent changes etc. So, if they decide it would be better if it were something else, it irks them when they see it... But I'm only speculating. I tend to leave articles until people haven't edited them for a little while, or have added the review template.

Thread:Comments:UK animal welfare group prosecutes woman who threw cat into bin/Disgusting/reply (2)

i agree that it is totally disgusting and that no one in their right mind should want to throw a cat in a bin.... but a few years? the cat was unharmed. a fine and jail time should it ever happen again would be more suitable.

Google introduces the '+1' button

June 29, 2011

On Monday, Google added the "+1" button to its search results. It works similarly to the Facebook "Like" button. Today, Google began planning to add it to text ads, globally known as "".

Google Product Manager Nick Radicevic commented at Google's AdSense blog: "Today, +1's will start appearing on Google search pages globally. .... We'll be starting off with sites like google.co.uk, google.de, google.jp and google.fr, then expanding quickly to most other Google search sites soon after."

Individual websites also can use this feature. People with a Google account can add a "+1" button to their personal websites. If a large number of readers click the button, the site will move closer to the top in Google search results.

Google also plans to eventually add the "+1" button to its text advertisements, globally known as "". A user would be able to add rank to an ad and optionally make it available at their Google profile.

Google expects the experiment to be useful to improve search results and to combat poor websites and.

Thread:Comments:Debris narrowly misses International Space Station/where does all this debris come from?/reply

Doesn't say, but there's a lot of junk up in orbit, paint chips from things put up there, bolts, micrometeorites, things like that. Some is man made and some probably is not.
