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

Eight dead in Goleta California rampage

February 4, 2006 Jennifer San Marco allegedly shot and killed herself, as well as an ex-neighbor and six postal workers at the Santa Barbara Processing and Distribution Center in Goleta, California says Santa Barbara County Sheriffs department. Authorities say that Marco believed that she was threatened by a conspiracy among the workers at the facility.

Sheriff Sergeant Erik Raney has said that Marco apparently left writings in her New Mexico desert home "alluding to a vague plot involving the mail-sorting plant, a local medical facility and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department. She obviously felt that the post office was out to get her in one way or another," he said. "That establishes as good of a motive (for the killings) as we can determine at this point."

Raney said that the writings were described to him as "ramblings," but Raney says, "they alluded to a conspiracy."

In her home, investigators also found a check payable to 'cash' with the notation "will," which could indicate that Marco left a will, "and that may shed more light on what's happened here," said Raney.

Marco has a history of mental illness, but was still able to purchase a firearm and ammunition from Ace Pawn and Antiques, owned by Paul Castillo.

Castillo said, "she (Marco) bought the gun for $325.00 without saying why she needed the weapon. She filled out an application for a background check, which didn't turn up any problems, and picked up the gun two days later."

Virginia takes action against Zebra Mussels in private pond

January 31, 2006 In a first ever effort in the United States to eliminate the presence of Zebra mussels in a large body of water, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) announced on Monday that a private pond in Prince William County, Virginia is undergoing water treatment using a chemical potash of potassium chloride in concentrations high enough to kill invasive and native shellfish species.

The pond at the Millbrook Quarry will undergo treatment for three to four weeks in an effort to eliminate an infestation of zebra mussels, a condition of its waters that was confirmed by state environmental officials in 2002. The treatment is not expected to pose a threat to non-molluscan aquatic wildlife, vegetation, or land-dwelling creatures at the site. Officials expect the one-time treatment process will provide protection from the possibility of future infestation for 33 years.

The entire body of water will be treated with potassium chloride to a level of 90 ppm, well below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) standard of 250 ppm for potable water. There are no expected health risks for humans, or contamination of drinking water wells in the immediate vicinity.

The freshwater Zebra Mussel species is a threat to native mussels of the region because of their high reproduction rate and their ability to attach themselves in clusters to native mussels, which kills them since they are prevented from opening and closing their shells to feed or burrow. Bottom-dwelling marine species are often covered by the Zebra Mussel.

Measures to prevent the spread of zebra mussels vary by region where the species is present. In Maryland, boat owners who launch water craft on reservoirs that serve as sources of drinking water are required to register their boat for use only on those reservoirs, to reduce chances of the mussel being transferred from other waters. Drinking water treatment and power production facilities where the mussels are present must regularly treat their systems to keep them clear of decaying debris that fouls intake pipes.

Zebra mussels were first discovered in North America in 1988, in Lake Saint Clair, a lake between Lake Erie and Lake Huron. By 1990 they appeared in all of the Great Lakes. It is believed that the mussels were accidentally brought over from Europe on the hulls of ships.

Internet Explorer 7 beta released to the public

January 31, 2006

The screen shot above shows several renderings of the Acid 2 CSS test, used to identify web page rendering flaws in web browsers and HTML authoring tools:
 * Green — Optimal (Konqueror)
 * Yellow — Firefox 1.5
 * Red — Internet Explorer 7

The long awaited Internet Explorer 7.0 beta preview was released to the public on January 31.

Large amounts of the architecture, including the security framework, have been completely overhauled. Partly as a result of these security enhancements, the browser will be a stand-alone application, rather than integrated with the Windows shell.

The final Beta 2 is scheduled by Microsoft to be released in April, with the full version scheduled for the Summer of 2006.

According to Microsoft's announcement, the beta will only run on Windows XP Service Pack 2 systems, but the final release version is intended to be able to run on Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and Windows Server 2003 as well.

New features
Version 7 includes a number of new features.

 * Improved rendering engine - Internet Explorer's rendering engine, codenamed Trident has been completely rewritten to compete with the faster rendering engines of Opera and Firefox.
 * Tabbed Browsing - users can now have several web pages in the same window via "tabs".
 * Quick Tabs - enables users to view thumbnail images of all open tabs in one view.
 * Tab Groups - enables users to organize multiple tabs in the same category as a single Tab Group that can be saved as a Favorite and the user can open all the sites in the Tab Group with a single click on the arrow to the right of the folder.
 * Page zoom - enables users to increase or decrease the page size for easier viewing.
 * IDN support
 * RSS Support - Version 7.0 now supports RSS, which allows users to gather "news feeds" from web sites that have RSS support. Microsoft implements RSS in a shared library, known as a DLL, so that third party developers can develop their own RSS-enabled applications.
 * Alpha transparency - Version 7.0 now has native support for PNG alpha transparency. This allows certain image (PNGs) to have opaque areas that can blend in with other images and text.
 * OpenSearch Extensions -  Users of version 7.0 can now use search engines by typing in search terms directly from the browser's toolbar.
 * Administration improvements -  All previous and new features are manageable via Group Policy, including the Phishing Filter and all browser add-ons.
 * Improved CSS support - Version 7.0 has improved CSS support, which means Internet Explorer will now render pages closer to the method defined by the W3C, a standards body for World Wide Web technologies. This means web page designers and developers will have an easier time designing web sites and applications to look the same on all web browsers.
 * Improved AJAX functionality - Applications that use a web development technique called AJAX to make interactive web applications will run more efficiently because Microsoft has included support for its main component, the XMLHttpRequest Object, into the browser. Previous versions of Internet Explorer required a helper application, called an ActiveX Object to implement this functionality (a good example of an AJAX application is Google's popular Google Maps application.
 * Enhanced security - Microsoft has attempted to fix a number of security issues with how Internet Explorer behaves. This includes:
 * Protected Mode - In Protected Mode, Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista is completely unable to modify user or system files and settings.
 * Internet Explorer 7.0 is a stand-alone application, rather than integrated with the Windows shell like version 6.0. This means that you can no longer open a folder, type in a URL and get a web page.
 * URL Handling Protections.
 * Protection Against Cross-Domain Scripting Attacks.
 * Anti-Phishing and Anti-Spoofing filters.
 * Security Status Bar - color-coded visual and icons cues to the safety and trustworthiness of a Web site.

Early Release
The current release is intended for compatibility testing by developers and IT professionals, and is not aimed at the general public.

Don Brash gives third Orewa speech

February 1, 2006 On Tuesday the 31st of January, Dr Don Brash, the leader of the New Zealand National Party gave his third state of the nation speech to the Orewa Rotary Club where he focussed on the economy.

Brash predicted that the New Zealand economy is "...almost certainly headed for a recession." He later said "A recent survey in the Christchurch Press suggested [the] South Island was already teetering on the brink of recession."

Brash said business confidence in New Zealand is at its lowest level in 30 years and almost every day there is another company closing its doors or sharply reducing its staff. He predicted that "many businesses will face very tough times, and that unemployment will rise steeply." Brash said the blame for any recession will lie squarely with the Prime Minister Helen Clark and Labour. "[The] Government is asleep at the wheel." He warned that people will lose their jobs and savings because of its incompetence.

Brash also addressed immigration, health, and infrastructure issues.

Brash said he had hoped to return as Prime Minister to give this speech. He also said that he intends to lead National in the next New Zealand general election (2008) and would be surprised if he is replaced before then.

Finance Minister Michael Cullen called Brash's speech "vastly underwhelming". He also claimed the speech was riddled with inaccuracies, particularly over Government spending.

Brash's first speech at Orewa, delivered by Brash on 27 January 2004, was highly controversial. It addressed the theme of race relations in New Zealand, particularly the special status of Māori, New Zealand's indigenous ethnic group. Some regard the speech as a watershed moment in New Zealand politics.

Nominations announced for 78th Academy Awards

January 31, 2006

Today, the nominees for the 78th Academy Awards were announced in Los Angeles, California.

Best Picture nominees this year are Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck., and Munich. The director of each of these films received director nominations. Nominees include George Clooney (Good Night, and Good Luck.), Paul Haggis (Crash), Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), Bennett Miller (Capote), and Steven Spielberg (Munich). This is the first time since 1981 that every Best Picture nominee also received a nod for Direction.

Brokeback Mountain leads this year's Oscar pack overall, with eight nominations. Brokeback is followed by Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck., and Memoirs of a Geisha, who each earned six. Capote, Munich, and Walk the Line each received five nominations. King Kong, Pride and Prejudice, and The Constant Gardener picked up four nominations, while Cinderella Man, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and War of the Worlds pick up three. A History of Violence, Hustle & Flow, Mrs. Henderson Presents, North Country, Syriana, and Transamerica each received two nods each.

Best Animated Feature Film nominees are Howl's Moving Castle, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. None of these films used primarily CGI-animation, the first year this can be claimed, since the 2001 creation of the award category. Corspe Bride marks both Tim Burton and Mike Johnson's first nominations. Wallace & Gromit's Steve Box is celebrating his first nomination, while co-producer Nick Park has three Oscars for Best Animation Short, a fourth nomination, of which he lost to himself in 1990. Hayao Miyazaki won the Best Animated Feature award in 2002, for Spirited Away.

Uniquely neither animation powerhouse, Disney or DreamWorks, is directly nominated in the category. Disney's Buena Vista Entertainment distributes Miyazaki film Howl's Moving Castle, while DreamWorks distributed Wallace and Gromit, animated by Aardman Animations.

Best Foreign Language Film nominees include Italian film Don't Tell, France's Joyeux Noël, Palestine's Paradise Now, Germany's Sophie Scholl - The Final Days, and South Africa's Tsotsi. Italy has been up for an Oscar 27 times, France 34 times, and Germany has had six nominations. This is only South Africa's second nomination, with the first coming last year, and Palestine's first ever Academy Award nomination.

Nominees for Best Documentary Feature are Darwin's Nightmare, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, March of the Penguins, Murderball, and Street Fight. March of the Penguins, produced in France, actually grossed more than any of the Best Picture nominees, the first time in history such an occurrence has happened.

The top 19 films in box office received a total of only 14 nominations, with a majority of these in the categories of Visual Effects, Sound Mixing and Sound Editing.

Perhaps one of the most interesting stories for Hollywood as a whole, is the tremendous success of Participant Productions in its first year of operation. eBay founder Jeff Skoll's movie house produced nominees Good Night and Good Luck. (6), North Country (2), Syriana (2), and Murderball (1). The company aims to fund feature films and documentaries that promote social values while still being commercially viable.

The 78th Academy Awards presentation will be held on Sunday, March 5.

Talk:Nominations announced for 78th Academy Awards

A change in the Original Song rules for 2005, imposing a minimum required scoring average for nomination, accounts for the nomination of just three songs in the category.

Three pictures, one in each of the three categories for short films, won 2005 Student Academy Awards: 9 in Animated Shorts, Ausreisser (The Runaway) in Live Action Shorts and The Death of Kevin Carter in the Documentary Short Subject category. This is the first time in Academy history that a nominee in the Directing category - George Clooney, for Good Night, and Good Luck. - is also nominated in one of the acting categories for a different film.

John Williams’ two nominations this year in the Original Score category are his 44th and 45th Academy Award nominations, putting him in first place in total nominations in the Music categories, breaking a previous tie with Alfred Newman. He also moves into second place in terms of nominations overall, his total individual nominations now second only to Walt Disney’s 59.

Ang Lee, nominated this year in the Directing category for the English-language Brokeback Mountain, received his first Directing nomination for the foreign language film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

14 of the acting nominees are first-time nominees. Of the other six who previously received nominations, four are Oscar winners: William Hurt, Judi Dench, Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand.

False statements
I removed this item from the 'security' features:

 * Version 7.0 will not run instruction code (called scripts) from web site on another web site. This can prevent a very common exploit known as Cross Site Scripting.

This is demonstrably false: loads the wikibits.js instance off of en.wikipedia.org, executes it, then displays one of the variables set from it in a message box. --Brion VIBBER 00:15, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Indymedia
I've noticed that there are a few Aussie contributors who also contribute to Indymedia - I'm interested to know what people think our relationship is with them? I've been cross-posting some Wikinews articles to Sydney Indymedia, and don't know of any problems.

I think the biggest way that Wikinews and Indymedia can work together is by sharing of pictures. Indymedia can already use any pictures from the Commons, but it is a little more difficult in the other direction, because most Indymedia sites seem to use a non-commercial license. Sydney Indymedia pages have this at the bottom: "All material is free for non-profit reuse unless otherwise noted by the author." I tried to work with them a few months back to change to something like a Creative Commons license, but it didn't seem go to anywhere.

We've got around it on a few occasions by having the individuals who took the photo's to relicense under something compatible with the Commons, but it would be nice to be able to just use pictures, rather than having to seek permission, which can be time consuming.

Does anyone have any suggestions for ways that we can work better with Indymedia? It seems that we both have the same or similar goals (independent-non-corporate/government/specialinterestgroup-controlled-news), so it would be good to be able to collaborate more closely. What does everyone think?

Melbourne Critical Mass 10th anniversary ride
Hello,I'm not real familiar with wikinews so I just thought I'd leave these tidbits with you in case anyone is interesting in writing on it. Today (Friday 25th) was the 10th anniversary of CM in Melbourne. They needed 770 for a new attendance record; I heard one guy shout that there were 1400 there. That figure wouldn't surprise me, it was huge. The Herald Scum was even forced to report that it was peaceful and popular. Two pictures of mine:

Photo's this weekend
According to Moroney there are going to be 1,500 to 2,000 extra police on patrol this weekend, with roadblocks all over the place. It would be great if people could get some photo's - the only photo's we have are from last Sunday at Cronulla, and file photo's of beaches. Even some photo's of cops standing around at checkpoints would be brilliant. - Borofkin 06:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Australian Portal
The Australian Portal has been around for ages, but I don't think it's used much. The biggest problem with it was that the articles would display in semi-random order because of technical reasons. I've changed things so that "Latest news" is now grouped into days, the same as on the main page. There is also a lead article... feel free to change it if you want - we should keep it updated to the biggest story of the day.

We can set our own standards on the Aussie portal - for example, we could ditch the whole "develop" and "publish" stages if we wanted to, or we could create an "australia-publish" stage, that would cause the article to appear as published on the Australian Portal, but not on the Main Page. All articles are still in the main namespace, however, and still have to be NPOV.

The Aussie Portal is linked to from Australia, so the best way to advertise it outside of Wikinews would be to use the url http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Australia. Not very good, I know, but it's all we have at the moment.

Anyway, let me know what you think. - Borofkin 23:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I like it, it makes it much more easier to see Australian events than having to sift through everything else. I personally wish to focus my efforts on Australian news simply because it affects me and because there are plenty of contributors who are focusing on other countries. I aim to contribute an article a day (may or may not happen). As for not putting things on the main page, I am not sure about that at this stage - Cartman02au 00:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's the idea - to allow us to work on Australian articles without having to see stuff from all around the world. All articles currently appear on the main page, and it will probably stay that way until the main page starts to get overwhelmed. - Borofkin 01:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I like it but one suggestion. I recon with the major space under the "Australian articles in development" we could fit like a major australian issue or something that links 2 a wikipedia issue and related wikinews articles(cos their will probably be multiple articles) and has a blurb suming up the current situation.Example focus issues Racism, IR Legislation..... I like the idea of encouageing people to fully understand a situation. --Whywhywhy 15:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

O yer and i like your Australian publish idea. Brilliant--Whywhywhy 01:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep. They've used it on the Quakers portal, which unfortunately seems to be inactive these days. - Borofkin 01:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

can we create our own australian admin?--Whywhywhy 01:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No. Remember, we are still part of Wikinews, and all Wikinews policy still applies. - Borofkin 01:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Australian briefs
Okay, clearly we need to increase the number of articles we are writing. You may have noticed Business Briefs on the main page - I propose that we start writing briefs - articles of only one paragraph in length, with two sources. This has a couple of benefits: 1) Quick to write, 2) Increases the number of headlines that appear, which (hopefully) causes more people to come to the site. You should add the tag to the article, which encourages people to expand it, turning it into a regular article Remember that even though a brief will only be 3-4 sentences long, it still needs to be neutral. So, whaddayareckon? - Borofkin 00:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Great Work with the nu-look portal...
Been an interesting and exciting ride. Look forward to more wikinews reporting throughout 2006...--elliot_k 04:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Great work fellow Wikireporters
I have noticed the number and quality of articles over the past two days and wish to congratulate those of you who have contributed to the site. Great work - Cartman02au 07:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, well done to all - the quality and number of Australian articles is something of which to be proud. Things will probably drop off a little over the Christmas-New year break, but hopefully we'll be able to keep things going. - Borofkin 00:15, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

News.com.au linking to Wikipedia
I was just reading this article on news.com.au and noticed that at the very top there is a link to Wikipedia. I think it's great that the wikimedia foundation's projects are beginning to be accepted in the mainstream media - 202.173.128.90 00:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC) (Unsigned by cartman02au)
 * It's an interesting development. It gives the 'pedia (and by extension Wikinews) some much needed credibility. - Borofkin 00:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It's great that another Wikimedia project is getting some attention, especially when they are trying to raise some money. I only wish they would have a fund drive mid year when I have money to splash around - Cartman02au 00:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * wow i never thought i would ever see that. Ill have 2 check up on it regularly to make sure nobody vandalizes it watched--Whywhywhy 03:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * whoa... somebody is noticing how to create relevant links! -Edbrown05 04:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok i just had a idea maybe when a news source links to a wikipedia the article is locked and a sister article is created for people to edit. Then after 5 days the articles are mereged again.(this would of course not apply to current event articles) thoughts?--Whywhywhy 04:22, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikinews and Google etc
Thats great to see them linking to WPedia. Next thing I'd love to see is Google/Yahoo News services bringing up Wikinews stuff... --elliot_k 05:22, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

In-depth coverage section on Australian portal
At the suggestion of Whywhywhy, I've created an "In-depth coverage" section on the Australian portal. You can edit what it says at this page. It links to a page which summaries the issue and provides links to all relavent Wikinews articles. It can probably stay there for a week or two, or until a better issue comes along - but crucially, if we are going to change the "in-depth coverage" section to a new issue, then a new summary page needs to be written. Everyone should feel free to edit any of these pages. - Borofkin 01:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

yep it kicks arse well done --Whywhywhy 03:54, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Using the portal
The Australian portal is just another page in the Wiki, except that it is in the "Portal" namespace rather than the main namespace, where articles live. It's very similar to the Wikinews main page - a page made of different sections drawn from templates. These are the templates used on the Aussie portal:

 * Template:Latest Australian news - the Latest Australian News section
 * Portal:Australia/Lead article - the first lead article (with picture and short summary)
 * Portal:Australia/Second lead - the second lead article (with picture and short summary)
 * Portal:Australia/in depth - the in depth section

Everyone is welcome to edit the portal page itself, or any of these templates. Keep it up to date! The other important thing to note is that the "Latest Australian News" section needs to have days added manually. When you first look at Wikinews in the morning, you should check to see if today's date appears. If it doesn't, click on "Add/remove days" at the bottom of that section, add today's date, and remove the one at the bottom.

Just like the wider Wiki, the Aussie portal will work best if people take ownership of it: treat it as though it is yours, and be bold in editing it! If people don't like you're changes, they'll change it back, or talk to you about it.

- Borofkin 01:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * i think active portals like ours at the moment should be featured on the front page. along with the portals that need help. what do you tink i might suggest it in the main page discussion--Whywhywhy 04:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Local Chapter
I have begun looking into the creation of an Australian Wikimedia Chapter. Basically, the chapter would be responsible for promotion of Wikimedia projects and free content in general. If you are interested check out Wikimedia Australia - Cartman02au 23:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC).

Australian Open (tennis)
How come this page doesn't have a "+" link to just add a section? :/

Anyway, the Aus Open is coming up and I'm going to go to some of it, yay. Of course I hope that I can take photos for pedias/commons/wikinews. But on their Ticket conditions of sale and entry they say:

''10. Images of the AO taken with a camera, mobile phone or other wireless device, cannot be used for any purpose other than for private and domestic purposes, that is you cannot sell, license, publish or otherwise commercially exploit photographs. [...] ''

11. Making or distribution of broadcasts, commentary, news reports or statistics by any means in any format or media [...] is forbidden.

That seems kinda ridiculous to me. Any thoughts? commons|w:User:pfctdayelise 00:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Due to the overwhelming silence, I won't upload my photos with any urgency, but they will eventually appear in commons:Category:2006 Australian Open. commons:User:pfctdayelise 15:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I know the Sydney Harbour foreshore also has some sort of similar copyright issue but the restriction is for commercial purposes. For events it makes a certain amount of sense and certainly would limit such photos being published here or even on commons or wikipedia I think.--AYArktos 22:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * On what legal basis can they restrict the use of photographs? I've often wondered how it is that photographers take photo's of celebrities naked in their own back yards, without permission, and publish them without any legal hassles, but some company can restrict us from taking photo's of their sporting event. - Borofkin 22:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I brought it up on commons and we tend to think there's no basis for it, and the worst they could do is revoke my ticket (bit hard after the fact), not have any status over the copyright of the images. So I'm willing to take that risk. :) commons:User:pfctdayelise 23:49, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The U.S. has similar restrictions with almost all sporting events. A way to bypass it is to take images before and after the event, of people or of just the arena.  There's not much you can do, even though I doubt they'll ever mind if you used some photos on our site.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 23:56, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

President Bush delivers 2006 State of the Union Address

February 1, 2006 United States President George W. Bush delivered his annual on Tuesday.

Bush's speech
Bush opened the speech to by honoring, wife of civil rights activist , who died on Monday.

Bush emphatically claimed that terrorism was still a serious threat, citing the 2004. Bush also urged what he felt was the need for American troops to continue in Iraq, to ensure what he described as the successful transition of the Iraqi government.

In reference to the victory of in the, Bush urged its leaders to disarm and recognize Israel as a sovereign state.

Talking about foreign policy, Bush said Iran is held hostage by a clerical elite and that. He also alleged that, and said the world "must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons."

 * Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the recently elected President of Iran, responded by saying that; "I am telling those fake superpowers that the Iranian nation became independent 27 years ago and ... on the nuclear case it will resist until fully achieving its rights...Those whose arms are stained up to the elbow with the blood of other nations are now accusing us of violating human rights and freedoms. God willing, we shall drag you to trial." he said.

Bush outlined an economic plan that he claims would cut the budget deficit in half by 2009, if successful. Bush said that by cutting over 140 programs that were "performing poorly or not fulfilling essential priorities", that the government would save over US$14 billion. Bush briefly touched on the upcoming problem of ; with reaching retirement age, Bush urged Congress to bypass partisan differences in order to save the program. In a rare break from the usual preplanned format of the speech, Bush received applause from Democrats when he announced that "Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security". Bush talked about the need for affordable health care. These plans include expanding the, allowing health insurance to be more portable for workers changing jobs. Bush also urged Congress to support medical liability reform, which he said would help doctors forced out of practice by the high price of.

Bush also introduced an energy plan to reduce oil dependency. The Advanced Energy Initiative would allocate federal funds for research in technology,  and  energy, and for research in the use of  and  fuel in vehicles, Bush stated. The President also described his support of funding "additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn, but from wood chips and stalks or switch grass."

On the topic of education and jobs, Bush introduced the American Competitiveness Initiative. This plan would allocate more than $136 billion over the next ten years to increase research in the physical sciences sector, provide job skills training for workers in these areas, and improve the quality of math and science education. He urged Congress to make temporary tax relief permanent. He also mentioned that he would like Congress to pass the power of, which was given briefly to President Bill Clinton in 1996, before being in 1998 by the Supreme Court, six to three.

Bush closed the address emphatically claiming what he called the historic courage of Americans, and saying that in Iraq, "like Americans before us, we will show that courage and we will finish well."

Democratic Rebuttals
The Democratic rebuttal, delivered by Virginia governor, criticized Bush's speech, saying that Bush had failed to uphold his previous promises, and that his administration had caused many of the problems that Bush promised in his address to fix. Kaine also stated that the Democratic Party had previously introduced many policies similar to Bush's, but these policies had not been supported by Republicans.

In addition to Kaine's speech, a second rebuttal, delivered in Spanish, was given by mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

T-shirts prohibited
, who became an anti-war activist after her son was killed serving in Iraq and gained recognition in 2005 for her protests outside in Texas, was arrested in the House gallery by Capitol Police Officer Mike Weight about fifteen minutes before the speech. Initial reports claimed that she had attempted to unfurl an anti-war banner; in fact, Sheehan wore a t-shirt with the words, "2,245 dead. How many more?" Sheehan had been invited to the speech by. In contrast, Beverly Young, the wife of, was ordered to leave the gallery but not arrested during Bush's speech because she was wearing a shirt with the words, "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom." Sheehan is charged with unlawful conduct in violation of D.C. Code §10-503.16(b)(7), a misdemeanor prohibiting demonstrations in the Capitol carrying a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine. Capitol Grounds Regulations defining the prohibited activities allow "wearing Tee shirts, buttons, or other similar articles of apparel that convey a message."

On Wednesday, Capitol Police dropped charges against Sheehan and apologized for ejecting her and Young. "The officers made a good faith, but mistaken effort to enforce an old unwritten interpretation of the prohibitions about demonstrating in the Capitol," Chief Terrance Gainer said in a statement.

Talk:President Bush delivers 2006 State of the Union Address

 * good job. I went to a movie instead and am confident this article tells me everything important that happened. Neutralizer 05:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Good, intresting Article Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 05:44, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikisource shows itself as a valuable resource. -Edbrown05 09:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

NPOVing
A phrase like stressed that pink elephants can fly is POV if there's any fair chance that people might consider pink elephants can fly as a factual statement. This is why i NPOVed it to emphatically claimed that pink elephants can fly. Whether or not pink elephants can fly (or the equivalent that bush claims) is true is an opinion; the fact that bush wants people to believe the statement is an NPOV fact. Maybe it's true, maybe not. Similarly for the other changes. Boud 16:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

nothing really
The Sheehan bit could be its own related news article with a briefer mention here, it does need to be, as its been worked in nicely here, but I thought I'd mention it if anyone feels like this article is too long, or want to take more of the space for dscussion of things which would not be news on their own. CNN Nyarlathotep 17:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Does the very existance of a "unlawful conduct" charge for wearing a t-shirt constitute "news" under our definition? I never knew about it before. I was considering an article on that aspect. Neutralizer 18:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Who are you talknig about? Jason Safoutin 02:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Iran and nuclear weapons
We saw the "Iraq has WMD" drumbeat; so I think it's important to keep the accusation that Iran wants nuclear weapons npov. It's easy to start accepting and using phrases like "the world should not let them have nuclear weapons" which is assumptive that Iran wants them,at least I think so. If it's a quote,it's ok,of course.Neutralizer 04:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Restoring wikipedia links after Amgine removed some of them. i've put in:
 * Talking about foreign policy, Bush said Iran is held hostage by a clerical elite and that it is not a democracy. He also alleged that Iran has nuclear ambitions, and said the world "must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons."

Here is where bush claimed that Iran is not a democracy:
 * At the start of 2006, more than half the people of our world live in democratic nations. And we do not forget the other half – in places like Syria, Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and Iran –

IMHO it is an NPOV fact that bush claimed that Iran is not a democracy. Boud 12:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

hamas - removing unstated POV context
i've removed which has been criticized by the United States and much of Europe for its past attacks upon Israelis.. Amgine does not like adding context - this is context, not part of the speech, not a link to wikipedia NPOV context, but in any case: to a paragraph. Adding context from just one POV in order to support a political leader's POV is IMHO POV. Adding an NPOV summary from a wikipedia article would have a fair chance of being NPOV. (e.g. writing in this style, we should add for example something like the fact that the Republican and Democrat Parties have been criticised for their attacks against Palestinians). Boud 12:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * either we add fully NPOV context
 * or we add no context
 * There is a difference between context, commentary, and background. Allowing readers to comprehend a speaker's remarks by stating what audience xe was addressing at the time is context.  Saying that the speaker had a terrible speaking voice or didn't address a political issue is commentary.  Going into a detailed discussion of the political history behind a speaker's point is background, and on complex issues requires quite a large amount of text in order to adhere to the NPOV. For background, we link to Wikipedia, which is right next door and is almost guaranteed to already have long backgrounders for stories like these.  So we don't need to write neutral backgrounders ourselves within hours (which we simply aren't geared up to do, regardless of the fact that it is a wasteful duplication of effort).  Context we add to articles, adhering to the NPOV.  Commentary is, as a rule, not-neutral.  We thus only report, in a neutral fashion, commentary made by others. Stating that Bush avoided mention of an uncomfortable political topic is non-neutral commentary, and should be sourced and attributed.  Describing the past relationships between the U.S., Europe, and Hamas is background, and is best done as a link to Wikipedia for a backgrounder. Uncle G 13:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Boud on this one. The reference which has been criticized by the United States and much of Europe for its past attacks upon Israelis. seems unnecessary to the story and highly POV to me. Neutralizer 13:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Entire article POV?
This is just for discussion; I am not criticizing the article as I think it is quite good. But it does give a totally one-sided view of world events. We do not report speeches from US/UK adversaries without including some western reactions and comments;e.g.. Should we be including Hamas's or Iran's reaction to the Bush speech in this article? Neutralizer 13:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not? It was part of his speech/event. Jason Safoutin 14:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Should we be including Hamas's or Iran's reaction to the Bush speech in this article? In order to be consistent with how we report speeches of anti-US leaders? Neutralizer 14:15, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I included a small bit of Iran's reaction; hopefully this is acceptable. Neutralizer 14:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

AT&T sued over NSA eavesdropping

February 1, 2006

A class action suit has been filed on Tuesday by the (EFF) against the telecom giant. The suit, filed in San Francisco, alleges that AT&T violated federal laws by collaborating with government to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens.

The Bush Administration and NSA have come under fire over the issue. They defend the program by saying they are only listening in on suspected terrorists.

The EFF claims that AT&T turned over 2 databases consisting of their subscribers' communication and internet usage records.

Attorney Kevin Bankston representing the EFF said the government could not conduct their surveillance without the help of companies like AT&T. He also said their goal is to tell AT&T that it is not in their fiscal best interests, along with not being legal, to cooperate with the President's wiretap program.

According to the class action suit, AT&T granted "access to all or a substantial number of the communications transmitted through its key domestic telecommunications facilities, including direct access to streams of domestic, international and foreign telephone and Internet communications." The lawsuit is seeking damages of $22,000 for each AT&T customer in addition to punitive fines.

AT&T is also facing scrutiny from the and possibly fines for failing to properly certify that customer records were safeguarded.

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

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

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!Jacques Divol 15:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Discussions need your input
 * Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Additionally, thanks for experimenting with Wikinews. Your test worked, and has now been reverted or removed. Please use Sandbox for any other tests you want to do, since testing in articles will be reverted quickly. Jacques Divol 16:51, 1 February 2006 (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 Danny. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Danny~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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