Talk:Argentina to pay off IMF debt

flag?
why was the flag posted. doesn't seem to be related to the article from what I can see.
 * Well, it's a story about Argentina, this is the flag of Argentina so I thought a little color would help the article. We actually do this quite often when no image is available. --Deprifry|+T+ 21:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Please link me some articles with pictures of the U.S. flag when the article is unrelated to the flag. thanks.  --MateoP 22:05, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * United States helped Kyrgyz pro-democracy programs. Are you suspecting an evil eurocentric agenda at everything now? --Deprifry|+T+ 22:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Might I suggest swapping the flag for a chart of the exchange rate? It's slightly more appropriate, and makes the article look like it came from the business desk.  Check Image:Exchange_rate_Wechselkurs_USDollar_arg_Peso_04_12_2001_bis_27_07_2005.png in the Commons.  If someone can come up with a picture/graph of Argentina's debt (I don't know what "deuda extranjera" would translates into in English) since the Menem/Cavallo-era of the early-to-mid 1990s, that'd be the best.   -- NeoAmsterdam 22:57, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Good idea. And "deuda extranjera" is external debt, learned that in my first Spanish year :). --Deprifry|+T+ 23:02, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps this one. [[Image:Argentina national debt 1994-2004.png|right|thumb|]] --SonicR 23:08, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Or how about this one. It a little longer than since 1990 but still impressive. --Deprifry|+T+ 23:13, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Believe the current one is most appropriate as the longer one shows several periods of the Argentine economy, such as the debt crisis of the early 80s. The current one better relates the article.  --MateoP 23:25, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Having lived in Argentina so long I forgot if it was "external" or "foreign" debt. The chart looks excellent -- NeoAmsterdam 13:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome
Wikizach, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Original reporting
You might want to poke around the site for information on Original reporting, notes go on the talk page (the discussion tab at the top of the page) and the article page should be something publishable, even if it is only three or four sentences with a tag to encourage others to search for news and expand it. Brian McNeil / talk 22:07, 28 December 2005 (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 Wikizach. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wikizach~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 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:40, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Study says poor African American women less likely to receive pap smears

I've sent this back to development because the language used is definitely not NPOV (especially in title). Please clean up. --MrMiscellanious – Happy Hanukkah – 22:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I have the changed the title. Please correct any other small errors you encounter... --Chiacomo (talk) 22:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I just substituted poor for the sanitized wording:) hope that's ok. Neutralizer 23:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

"African" American women
I have a real problem with the term. It's about as accurate as "black".

Is there something better available?? Neutralizer 14:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Not right now, I don't think... And the sources use the term. This article is published... On to the next one. --Chiacomo (talk) 14:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Blocked
Due to repeated posting of a hoax to Wikinews, you are now blocked for 24 hours. --Deprifry|+T+ 01:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I am furious now. I make an account in Wikinews to help it since I'm a reporter, an I get accused of being a hoax BY A USER WHO ISN'T EVEN IN CHILE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS BREAKING NEWS!
 * You are claiming in your article that the Chilean president has already commented saying "I was eating nachos, just like Allende was before the coup, when I saw the news." Aside from being moderately funny, it also would have caused CNN, the BBC and just about any other news channel to jump in screaming, just like you, BREAKING NEWS. They haven't done that. You, sir, are posting hoaxes to Wikinews. --Deprifry|+T+ 01:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

US consumer confidence up

December 29, 2005

Consumer confidence rose in December to levels closer to those before huricane Katrina according to the Conference Board Consumer Research Center's consumer confidence index. The index was at 105.5 before the huricane hit the port of New Orleans disrupting oil production and trade for a large part of the country. The index was at 102.7 in December last year.

The index rose to 103.6 from a revised 98.3 for November. The index was expected to only rise to 102.5.

"Consumer confidence continues to bounce back and is now at its highest level since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast" said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board Consumer Research Center.

Most of the change is attributed to falling gas prices and an improved job outlook.

"The resiliency of the economy, recent declines in prices at the pump, and job growth have consumers feeling more confident at year-end than they felt at the start of 2005," Franco said. "Even though all of the improvement over the past twelve months has been in consumers' assessment of current conditions, and expectations remain below earlier levels, consumers are confident that the economy will continue to expand in 2006."

Former Chilean president Augusto Pinochet fingerprinted

December 29, 2005

Police arrived at Augusto Pinochet's home this morning in the Chilean capital of Santiago to fingerprint the 90 year old man and take a mugshot, in an incident his lawyer called an insult. His lawyer, Pablo Rodriguez, said, "This is insulting but what pains us the most is not that a police record has been made for a former president but that there are no legal grounds to do so," and "this is an arbitrary procedure by the judge."

Judge Victor Montiglio ordered the mugshots and fingerprints to create a file on Pinochet. He has been under house arrest since November 2005.

Pinochet is being charged in relation to Operation Colombo, where 119 political dissidents disappeared during his reign in the mid-1970s. Pinochet's regime claims that they all died in clashes with various opposition groups. A government spokesperson said, "Once more in Chile we can happily affirm that there is equality before the law and that the courts of justice are functioning impeccably."

Pinochet is also in other legal trouble. In November he was indicted for tax fraud and other crimes related to some $27 million in foreign bank accounts, according to Reuters. And also on Monday he was ruled fit to stand trial for the disappearances in Operation Colombo. This comes as a change of court rulings, previously cases have been dismissed because of medical reasons.

Talk:Five U.S. defense contractor lobbying groups block ban on forced prostitution and labor

I've got a few questions concerning this article.

1) How is Dyncorp actualy spelled? (It is spelled Dyncorp and DynCorp in the article)

2) Shouldn't 'pentagon' be capitalized?

3) It end's abruptly.

4) It doesn't say anything about 'why' the defence contractors were opposed to it, just that they thought it was 'unrealistic'.

 * They don't say why cause they have no sound reason and don't have to explain themselves..it's just what they want (or don't want); like why is afghan dope production is up 1,000% since the coaltion took over the country? They never answer "why?" cause they don't have to. Didn't our mothers used to say "cause I told you so!" when we asked why? Now these governments/big companies are our mothers.

South Korea begins sending indictments via SMS

December 29, 2005

South Korean prosecutors plan to begin sending legal notices such as indictments and fines via. The move was prompted by the high percentage of the population carrying mobile phones, as well as the cost and slow delivery of paper notices.

A South Korean official, Lee Young-pyo, said, "Most people in South Korea have mobile phones, and since the notices don't reach them immediately by regular mail, this is a more definite way for the individuals to know they have received a legal notice."

Mr. Lee also emphasized that SMS notices did not replace existing paper notification, and people must apply for the service.

About 70 percent of the South Korean population use mobile phones, according to .

Talk:South Korea begins sending indictments via SMS

Unreal, I'm likely to ignore a "text message". Can they prove the recipient recieved it? Can they prove they read it. -Edbrown05 07:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Can the sender be verified? Prank text messages containing false indictments might become a popular way to annoy… Karen 23:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yup, I can see people sending speedcing violation SMSs as a joke, maybe faking the originating phone number. Nyarlathotep 05:32, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Good work providing a link to "SMS" and "text messaging" for clarification. Since "SMS" can be ambigious (Microsoft has something called "SMS" which isn't "Short Message Service"), normally I edit "SMS" to "text messages". In this case, the headline really means the "Short Message Service" and not any specific text message. Karen 23:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * What do people think of changing the title to South Korea begins sending indictments via SMS (cell-phone text messages) or something similiar? Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 05:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

User talk:-chileno/Augusto Pinochet dies

waiting
waiting for more sources, obviously. Appears to be a hoax. --MateoP 00:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I promise to you that it is truth. Pinochet has died.  I am journalist of La Cuarta, the sold newspaper more in Chile, and am covering history here in Clinica Tabancura.  The story came ten minutes ago arrived to us less, so it will take time so that it appears in newspapers and other informed sources.  I apologize by the English, I know very little and this I am translating it by Google.  My translator, Manuel Perez, are not here now so he cannot translate to me.Chileno 00:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * good to hear. I am watching an online Chile news channel and they aren't reporting it yet.  So let's just leave it in development until we get more sources.  Good to have original reporting though, thanks.--MateoP 00:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm almost certain this is fake. It already includes details on his funeral, something which certainly wouldn't be available if the news just broke. And Pinochet was alive and well just this morning --Deprifry|+T+ 00:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * C'mon, follow the news, the guy was taken to Tabancura at 6:00 local time. Pinochet's old. Old people get sick suddenly. OK, here's my website: http://www.freewebs.com/lasnoticiasdehoy/pinochet.htm. I expect La Quinta to pick up the story soon. I'll appear on TVN at 20:10 local time. They're on they're way. For those in Chile, tune in to TVN. THis is exiting! Chileno 00:55, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The article quotes several Chilean personalities on his allged death, offering condolences and such and you expect us to believe that no news organsation picked it up yet? C'mon! --Deprifry|+T+ 00:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Read my site. I dont have time to translate right now. It'll explain everything. THe Chilevision cameras are here, so CHilean viewers tune in to Chilevision. TVN is expected to arrive shortly. Chileno 01:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I think there's a post on this on the La Cuarta blog. Try it. I seriously will not be able to post much soon, since im a reporter. TVN has arrived.
 * I'll put down US$10 that it's a hoax: La Cuarta, El Mercurio, La Segunda, TVN, and Reuters would've reported in by now.  The  blog at La Cuarta doesn't say anything about Pinochet. -- NeoAmsterdam 19:04, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Make that US$20 - I've finished reading the "obituary" Chato wrote. Chileno took it 100% out of context.  The last paragraph reads (translated on-the-fly, of course) "In truth, it wasn't the plebisicte of 88 that destroyed Pinochet, nor the Rettig Report... nor the Valech Report... it was his [Pinochet's] illicit enrichment in the Bacno Riggs [account].  That's the turth, because by actions he was an assasin, had abused his power to kill and torture, more than half of Chile knew it, but what killed him was his theivery.  Pinochet is dead."  Will flag for deletion by 20:00 UTC. -- NeoAmsterdam
 * Make that 99.9% out of context. The thing's still technically an obituary. -chileno 23:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Still listed as "Category: Disputed"
I thought that once you remove {deletion request} the "Category: Disputed" disappears - How do I un-categorize a no-longer-disputed article? -- NeoAmsterdam 00:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * i say just leave it be. this way if someone stumbles upon it by google or something they don't get the idea it's real.  --MateoP 00:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Like you did for a while... Hey, should this go in one of my subpages? -chileno 23:19, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Australian refugee contractor accused of breaching its duty of care

I doubt if the child were white, he'd be referred as a 'toddler'. Racism is just one consequence of our hierarchy-based societies.
 * To the contributor above; I hope you will stay on Wikinews and contribute more. I think you have clarity of thought. Neutralizer 14:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually in Australia if the child was white he would be referred to as a toddler. A child under the age of three qualifies as a toodler and the term is normally used in Australia as such - Cartman02au 00:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This is certainly the case. I didn't really understand the anon's comment. Does "toddler" mean something negative elsewhere in the world? - Borofkin 00:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Really pisses me off. US prison system is one example. Neutralizer 14:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

POV
Point 1: Headline is POV and misdirected.

Headline: "Privatisation of Australia's refugee program under fire following death of African toddler"

Lede: "A two-and-a-half year old child, Richard Niyonsaba, died less than 24 hours after arriving in Australia."

Most of the article is an account of the child's death. There is not really much meat in the criticism department. Just look at the SMH source as contrast:

Headline: "Critics take aim at refugee service centre"

Lede: "AS ONE of the contractors recently given the job of resettling refugees, the Australian Centre for Languages has borne heavy criticism."

In fact, Ntiranyi doesn't even bear mention in that article! The end result is the wiki-authour(s) is/are using the headline as a way of criticising privatisation without providing any actual criticism, when instead the article is about the child's death. It's a sucker-punch.

Point 2: It is possible to be critical of the contractor ACL without being critical of privatisation. Which is it here? The only specific opinion is towards ACL. Again, the authour(s) are using the headline to interject their own opinion. Reread that SMH intro "AS ONE of the contractors". ACL is only one of the contractors. Of course the authour(s) have little interest in this; capitalism is bad, always.

Point 3: Anonymous organisations: "Orgnaisation's which formerly provided care to refugees have strongly criticised ACL saying that they can not provide the level of care that these people require." This in fact would make a better intro! It's more congruent with the actual headline.

Point 4: No counter-criticism or response from ACL. This from the SMH:
 * The managing director of ACL, Helen Zimmerman:"ACL takes all the claims made against it very seriously and with due respect," she said. "I have commissioned Mr Richard Fiora, partner from Sydney law firm Banki Haddock Fiora, to independently review the claims and make suggestions where ACL may improve its systems.

 * "In the meantime ACL, with its partner Mission Australia, has already held a number of meetings with volunteers in Newcastle who wish to work with us. A training session will take place on January 21."

 * There was no intention of interjecting my POV into the article. If you thought that was the case you should have changed the title. You might be interested to have a look at the critisim surrounding the government after more information has been released - Cartman02au 00:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Marked as develop/editing
I have marked the article as developing and under going a major edit following the fresh claims about ACL. I have also changed the title, hopefully it is clearer and has no POV issues - Cartman02au 00:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * "It's" is a contraction for "it is". Perhaps it should be "its"... --Chiacomo (talk) 00:44, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * For some reason I thought that it's should be used as the duty of care is something that belongs to the company - Cartman02au 01:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I have no problem with the current article title, but remember that the title should reflect the content of the article. If the title is "Australian refugee contractor accused of breaching it's duty of care", then the first paragraph of the article should state what the accusation was, and the overall focus of the article should be the accusation. If the focus of the article is the death of the child, then the title should be something like "Refugee child dies 18 hours after arriving in Australia". - Borofkin 00:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The article is trying to explain both the situation with the child's death and the situation of ACL refusing/failing to provide food for three women in Newcastle. I think the article needs a tidy up now though - Cartman02au 01:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The article has become a wikipedia entry now. There is no need for subsections; that is what paragraphs are for. I suppose my POV concerns are largely met, sigh...

I was the person who originally leaked this story to the media, and am happy to clear up any matters of fact regarding the story. In fact there is a lot more background information here that has not been reported.Sumthingweird 00:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Jose Maria Aznar wants NATO to take in Australia and Israel

Nato is always under US military control
Amazing how few people know that. Neutralizer 14:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * No, MrM, This is a wiki;censorship is unwelcome on the talk pages.

However, I would like to see some reference in the article to the fact that Nato is under US control. Ok, I have found this to expand the article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SACEUR Neutralizer 21:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, Criticisim of NATO and the UN is a double edge thing. Nato is militarily controlled by the US and UK, so Aznar criticism seems to be directed to France, Belgium, Spain and Germany for their refusals to participate in Iraq. Similar situation happens with the UN, that has been criticised by the US who labels the UN useless; however the US has the longest record of vetoing the US resolutions proposed by th rest of the world. So when you criticise these two organisms, who you are criticising really?--Tequendamia 06:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Bolivian President Evo Morales convinces EU to pay for study of coca

"to fight fatigue"?
Is it a stimulant (like caffeine), a tonic (like cod liver oil), or sustenance (unlikely, like a good meal)?

"to fight fatigue" sounds like a very one-sided description, implying it's a magic fix-all. Bill3 16:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I would assume it's a stimulant, since that's what cocaine is. It doesn't imply that it's a "magic fix-all", it implies that it helps fight fatigue.  Which is what the article claims that indigenous people who chew it believe.  Fatigue does not constitute "all".  --MateoP 19:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, but a good sleep will fight fatigue, and so will a big steak dinner, but I don't see how chewing a leaf can be similar to either. I guess (like you guess) that it's a stimulant, probably similar to coffee.  If we are right, then the article should say this ("Coca is a stimulant, not unlike caffeine"), instead of this "fights fatigue" phrase that has left both of us guessing.  Bill3 13:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Man buys his stolen camera on eBay

December 29, 2005 A German businessman who had his camera stolen at a restaurant found and made a purchase for the same camera model on eBay. To his surprise, it was his own stolen camera.

The reason he wanted the same model was because he had matching accessories. The seller was from his hometown, making it even more suspicious. Police on Thursday were questioning a 34-year old vendor. His statement "claims he got the camera at a flea market, but was also offering other cameras on the Internet."

New text message encryption method developed

December 29, 2005

It was reported a month ago on The Prague Post that two Czech programmers, Dr. Marian Kechlibar and Jiří Šatánek, have developed SMS007, which is a program that advertises that no third party would be able to read text messages sent with this method. "We felt that there is too much phone tapping going on in this country," Šatánek said. "Everyone has a right to their privacy."

The two are working on a version, set for release next northern hemisphere summer (June-August 2006), that will encode phone calls made from cell phones as well. Their Prague company, Circle Tech, is offering a 1 million Korona reward ($40,270 U.S.) to anyone who can crack their code.

The program took about a year to develop and uses AES, a symmetric cipher. There are two keys to their code, one on the sender end and one on the recipient end. The keys to the code are not generated until after a person installs the software on his or her mobile phone.

Dr. Kechlibar is a mathematics professor at the Charles University in Prague.

Greek newspaper reports British spy involved in torturing 28 Pakistani citizens

December 27, 2005

The Greek newspaper Proto Thema is reporting a member of the British embassy staff in Athens, Nicholas Langman, was involved in the abduction, interrogation and torture of 28 Pakistani-born immigrants to Greece. The alleged victims were detained in connection with the 7 July bombings in London.

The disclosure of British MI6 agents acting openly in Greece has precipitated an uproar in the Vouli ton Ellinon, with the opposition uniformly calling for the matter to be discussed in the parliament.

"Such a thing never happened, does not happen and won't happen," said Giorgos Voulgarakis, the Greek Minister of Public Order, in early December when the detainees went public with their charges. Jack Straw, British Foreign Minister, has likewise denied the charges.

Melbourne Victory held to draw by Perth Glory

December 29, 2005

Nearly 15,000 people turned up to Olympic Stadium Melbourne to see the home side Melbourne Victory being held to a draw by the visiting Perth Glory in their round 16 A-League match last night.

Victory where without captain Kevin Muscat who was out serving a ban from Victory's previous game against Sydney FC. Archie Thompson wore the captain's armband for the night for Victory.

In the first game under Alan Vest, Perth's Glory came in strong and held long to pull the tie from the Victory.

The lead goal came from Damian Mori for the Glory 5 minutes in, answered by Thompson and Daniel Allsop to give Victory a lead 2-1 at half. Boby Despotovski's equaliser in the second kept the Glory in the top four.

Stroessner
Hola. Suponiendo que sea una inocentada, eso era ayer. La página de Diario Noticias no está cargando -para comprobar- y fuera de eso, en los demás diarios de tu país no mencionan nada acerca de la muerte de ese dictador. Algo parecido ocurrió en la edición en español esta mañana. Nosotros tuvimos nuestra inocentada también, pero eso fue ayer. Un saludo y te aconsejo que no empieces mal. Julián Ortega 21:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Gracias por ser más amable que los otros y por el saludo. Puse dos screenshots en la página de discusión por si no puedes ver el sitio. Como es una noticia exclusiva del diario Noticias, dudo que otros diarios la mencionen hasta que sea confirmada por el gobiernio. Paraguayo 21:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC) (Muy divertido lo de Chávez).

No kidding.

re: Stroessner article
Please do not contact user:NeoAmsterdam further regarding this article.

The article was reported in good faith, based on a news report which turned out to be a hoax. This is not the first article which has happened in this manner, and it is not a problem either to have created the article or to report that it is not true; at Wikinews we do not fault each other for acting in good faith.

However, user:NeoAmsterdam does not wish to communicate further with you regarding this topic, and has asked me to request you not contact him any more. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:14, 31 December 2005 (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 HarryC. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name HarryC~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)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Meetup no. 2?
It’s been suggested that New Zealand have a Meetup No. 2 to “follow up to from the last meetup (and a reminder) how are people for another one? I would guess Wellington would be a natural choice of venue or perhaps elsewhere (Chc?) if enough are interested. Alternatively Auckland could have another one. I'm not sure Dec/Jan is a great time but perhaps it doesn't make a big difference. Thoughts? / Availability / Interest / Timing / Location ?” Check out the New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board if anyone has any comments / ideas. Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 09:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Domains? What domains?
We have lost the domains: www.wikinews.org.nz and www.wikinews.co.nz. --Nzgabriel | Talk 00:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Podcast
A new podcast featuring Australian, New Zealand, and possibly Oceania news: http://www.bitshuffle.org/wikicast/Southern_Star. --Nzgabriel | Talk 08:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Meetup 3
I noticed several other meetups, so I thought I would note: There is an Auckland meetup organised on enwiki happening on the 11th, see the meetup page for info. TheFearow 01:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

How about a review
Could someone review and approve Nine dead after small plane crashes in New Zealand before someone decides to kill it on the grounds that it is too old please. I have added the references that the previous reviewer wanted. Hugo99 (talk) 07:49, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Mario Draghi succeeds Antonio Fazio as Bank of Italy governor

December 30, 2005 Fazio has stepped down after an investigation into his role in a controversial bank takeover. Mario Draghi is to fill his shoes. Draghi's former job was managing director of the investment bank Goldman Sachs. Draghi will serve a six year term under a new law that set term limits for the Central banks governor passed last week.

Draghi, who is 58, has had senior government positions in the past including director general of the Italian treasury. He was born in Rome and earned a doctorate in economics from MIT in 1976. After earning his degree he taught at the University of Florence until 1991. During this time Draghi was an Executive Director of the World Bank. During his tenure as director general of the treasury he carried out extensive privatisation and was appointed chairman of the Italian Committee for Privatisations. Analysts say he has a good reputation but "Draghi has a tough job to restore the Bank of Italy's credibility, but he is appreciated internationally and has done a lot of jobs and done them well," said Luigi Speranza, an economist with BNP Paribas.

Lorenzo Codogno, an economist with Bank of America, looks forward to Draghi's tenure as the governor of the central bank "His appointment should lead to a more open Italian bank market which will, in the end, mean Italians have to pay less for their bank services."

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 KDCRAMTON. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name KDCRAMTON~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 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Distributed computing discovers largest known prime number

December 30, 2005

On December 15, 2005, a computing effort of the Central Missouri State University (CMSU), led by Curtis Cooper and Steven Boone, as part of the distributed computing project known as the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), discovered the largest known prime number, divisible only by the number 1 and itself: 230,402,457-1.

The discovery, which marks the 43rd known Mersenne prime and the 9th discovered by GIMPS, was made by running a free downloadable program called Prime95. The CMSU team is currently the highest-ranked contributor to GIMPS with over 700 computers running Prime95.

Uproar over sexual EU spoof posters in Austria

December 30, 2005 Posters produced and printed by the art project 25peaces, in Austria have caused huge public outcry and debate. The posters depict Britain's Queen Elizabeth, having sexual intercourse with US president George W. Bush, and French President Jacques Chirac. A number of public figures including Wolfgang Schuessel, the Austrian Chancellor, have publicly denounced the posters.

Its creator, artist Carlos Aires, says he had no desire to offend anyone, "I suddenly had this image of three decision makers who are having an orgy while everything around them collapses".

Hello
Shouldn't the places like Portal:United States/Lead 1 be filled completely? -- Nascar 1996  23:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No, actually, since we're trying to eliminate portals in favor of categories, since portals don't update automatically (at least not the leads), and categories do, so it's easy to find a portal with a lead from, say 2007. Somewhat embarrassing. The discussion sort of stalled, as discussions tend to do here, so it's sort of in limbo...but we're trying to move away from portals and to categories. (The relevant discussion is here) Cheers, C628 (talk) 23:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
