US military commander in Afghanistan dismissed by President Obama

June 24, 2010 🇺🇸General, the top military commander for the US army in Afghanistan, was dismissed by president Barack Obama Wednesday, over controversial comments he made in an interview with a magazine.

McChrystal will be replaced by General. The move was made after McChrystal and the president held a thirty-minute meeting Wednesday to discuss McChrystal's comments to the  magazine, in which he was portrayed as dismissive about the administration's handling of the Afghanistan war.

In one comment, when asked about vice-president Joe Biden, the general replied with "Are you asking about Vice-President Biden? Who's that?"; in another remark, he mentions an email from the US' special Afghanistan and Pakistan representative, Richard Holbrook, saying: "Oh, not another e-mail from Holbrooke [...] I don't even want to open it." One of the McChrystal's aides also described national security adviser James Jones as being a "clown... stuck in 1985".

Obama commented that the move was "a change in personnel but not a change in policy". "I believe it is the right decision for our national security. I don't make this decision based on any difference in policy with General McChrystal [...] nor do I make this decision out of any sense of personal insult," he said, commenting also: "The conduct represented in the recently published article does not meet the standard that should be set by a commanding general. It undermines the civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system."

McChrystal, meanwhile, released a statement regarding the incident: "I strongly support the president's strategy in Afghanistan and am deeply committed to our coalition forces, our partner nations, and the Afghan people. It was out of respect for this commitment — and a desire to see the mission succeed — that I tendered my resignation."

The general's assistant who organised the Rolling Stone interview, Duncan Boothby, also resigned over the article.

Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, meanwhile responded to Obama's move, saying he believed McChrystal was the best commander in the nine years since the US began operations in his country.

"General McChrystal was an important and trusted partner for the Afghan government and Afghan people and we hoped this wouldn't happen," said, a spokesman for Karzai. "However, this is an internal matter for the US government and we respect the decision of President Obama. We are looking forward to working with General Petraeus, a very experienced soldier, who President Karzai knows well."

Australian Labor Party caucus vote to change prime minister

June 24, 2010 The (ALP) caucus has changed their leader and prime minister. The ALP is currently in government holding a majority in the House of Representatives. Julia Gillard will replace Kevin Rudd. It is believed that party instability and a drop in Rudd's popularity was the cause for change.

"The new leader elected unopposed is Julia Gillard and the deputy will be Wayne Swan," Senator Michael Forshaw told media after the caucus. The "leadership spill", as it is known, occurred at 9:00am Australian Eastern Standard Time this morning (11:00 pm last night ). According to reports, there was no ballot after Rudd pulled out.

Gillard becomes Australia's first female prime minister in the country's 109 year history and has been sworn in as such by Australia's first female Governor-General, Quentin Bryce.

Channel Nine editorialised prior to the spill that Gillard had the votes to become prime minister.

That's funny, Osama bin Laden would have done the same thing. Oh well. I guess he'd rather lose a war than be revealed to the world as a preening, empty-skulled lightweight. 206.74.5.136 (talk) 03:54, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

President Obama accepted the resignation Wednesday of Gen. Stanley McChrystal. period, the head line for this article is misleading. Consider revising your headline instead of misinforming people.

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.

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

Journalist accuses Algerian footballer of assault after World Cup exit

June 25, 2010

Witnesses say Algerian footballer slapped Asma Halifi, a woman journalist from his home country with whom he has had a year-long feud, after Algeria's defeat by the United States on Wednesday evening. Halifi filed a complaint with FIFA regarding the assault.

The incident was witnessed by fellow journalist Richard Connelly of the BBC World Service. He said that "Rafik Saifi slapped the face of journalist Asma Halifi. She hit him back as a reflex. He then threw a bottle of sports drink which missed and had to be restrained from attacking her again."

Speaking about the attack, Halifi said that she intends to make a complaint to the police and to FIFA, the world governing board of football. She also spoke about the on-going dispute between herself and Saifi. The footballer objected to an interview she had translated for Competition, an Algerian newspaper, she told the BBC.

The had no comment to make about the incident. FIFA confirmed that it had received Halifi's complaint and would investigate.

Algeria were making their third and final appearance at the FIFA World Cup. They drew in Group C along with England, Slovenia and the United States but failed to make it past the group stage.

 * Oddly enough I can't find that quote in any of the sources. BBC has that info, but not as a direct quote from her. Probably should be rephrased. Tempodivalse [talk]  19:38, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Journalistic style
The lede of this article is particularly weak, and does not meet the Wikinews styleguide. If possible the lede should cover briefly all the major points of the article in the active voice, and the rest of the article should expand and provide support for all statements in the leading paragraph. -  Amgine | t 15:06, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

2010 FIFA World Cup: arrivederci Italia!

June 27, 2010 Slovakia eliminated defending champions Italy from the World Cup. First round groups E and F were decided on Thursday: Japan, Paraguay and the Netherlands progress alongside Slovakia.

When a team finishes third or fourth in a group, they are on their way home. After the elimination of France, runners-up in 2006, it was the turn of the reigning champions. Slovakia met Italy in their first World Cup finals as an independent country.

After 81 minutes, the Azzuri (Italy) were down by two goals, both struck by, when they got one back. They were denied a chance to equalize by a rebound from a Slovak knee on the goal line.

Their next goal was disallowed as. The Slovaks strengthened their lead when a gross positioning error by Italy led to a goal from a. Italy scored their second goal in the closing moments of the game, but it wasn't enough, and the Azzuri were out of the tournament.

For the fourth time in history, the reigning world champion was eliminated in the first round. The previous occasions were Italy in 1950, Brazil in 1966 and France in 2002.

Also on Thursday, Japan achieved a surprise 3 – 1 defeat of Denmark. This, along with their victory over Cameroon on June 14, secured their qualification. Paraguay stamped their ticket for the round of sixteen in a nil–nil draw with New Zealand's All Whites. The draw gave New Zealand a point to take them ahead of Italy, finishing Group F in third place. The All Whites leave the tournament undefeated, recalling Cameroon's elimination in 1982 after three draws, pipped by Italy on goals scored. The Netherlands beat Cameroon, securing Group E's first place.

Talk:2010 FIFA World Cup: arrivederci Italia!

Translation
I am going off line: so I hope someone finishes before I return. --InfantGorilla (talk) 05:40, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I have made a rough translation, fact checked, and added a lead paragraph.

Feel free to make any final tweaks and slap a review tag on the article: I am going off line again.

--InfantGorilla (talk) 12:50, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Review of revision 1050175 [Failed]
Interesting comments, Caleb. --InfantGorilla (talk) 09:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I added six sources (2 in the sources table, plus 4 detailed match reports in the results section, all in English.)  If you count Grondin's report in French as reporters notes, that is seven sources in total.  I didn't watch the match, but I was able to verify most of Grondin's facts against English match reports, so I think it more than meets our verifiability standards.
 * 2) Please suggest a new headline.  I liked the choice of the original author to use Italian.
 * 3) The original French was in quite a literary style.  I simplified it a good deal, and rewrote sentences from passive to active voice, as well as adding a lead to approximate pyramid style.  On re-reading after a night's sleep, a couple of sentences sound a little clumsy, and I will tweak them, but I hope I have left a little of the spirit of Grondin's original.
 * 4) Could others chip in and improve the style, please?

User talk:Alanhunter~enwikinews

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

Fiji joins the Non-Aligned Movement

June 26, 2010 Fijian Commodore  announced Wednesday night that Fiji had joined the.

Bainimarama described this decision as way to refocus Fiji's relationships away from its traditional trading partners of Australia and New Zealand, towards countries outside of the South Pacific. Joining the Non-Aligned Movement would support the “Look North policy which involves developing relationships with countries outside the southern Pacific sphere,” he said. The Fijian had agreed to start the process of becoming a member of the Non-Aligned Movement in late February.

The Non-Aligned Movement is an organisation of states that consider themselves to be in a position of neutrality towards the major powers and the associated power blocs. The stated purpose of the organisation according to the is to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries" in their "struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, and all forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics."

Ratu Inoke Kubuabola, Fiji's, stated that today's Non-Aligned Movement "has adopted the broader principles of multilateralism, equality and mutual non-aggression and has morphed into a tool for strengthening leverage when negotiating with the developed world." As of the 2009 conference, there were 118 member countries and 17 observer countries representing almost two-third of the United Nations member nations and over half of the world population. This decision came shortly after a meeting with Mohammed Omar Abdulla the undersecretary of the Department of Economic Development for Abu Dhabi. Bainimarama was in Abu Dhabi along with the leaders of several other small pacific island states for a summit with the Arab League entitled "Prospects for Cooperation between the Arab world and the Pacific Islands."

Fiji has been looking for trade partnerships with non-traditional partners such as China and India, due to trade sanctions imposed by Fiji's traditional trading partners Australian and New Zealand following the.

 * The wikilink in the body of the article is fine. I just have an issue with using "wins pole" as a title. I pointed to Wiktionary to show the relevant definitions. --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 19:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I think anyone who didnt't get what "driver... wins pole" meant wouldn't be helped by the change. They would merely go from thinking he won an actual pole to thinking he won someplace to put a pole. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 19:13, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikinews!
Welcome to the Wikinews tour for newcomers! This page is intended to help new users get a jump-start contributing to the project. It may seem overwhelming at first, but it's not difficult to learn the ropes with a little practice - and it can be quite satisfying to see an article you've written yourself listed on our front page and Google News' index.

Like our mission statement says, we're a collaborative citizen-journalist news source that creates free, high-quality and unbiased news material that can be freely reused, as an alternative to mainstream sources such as BBC, the Associated Press, etc.

For the purposes of this tour, we'll assume that you've registered an account and are logged in. While you can still write articles and do most other basic editing activities without an account, having one gives you additional tools and options, such as the ability to enable useful editing widgets or change the interface's look in your preferences. Plus, it'll hide your IP address from public view.

Don't have an account? Create one now. Or, if you have one, log in with it, if you haven't already done so.

So, where do I start?

So, where do I start?
There are plenty of tasks that you can do on Wikinews, but by far the most important one is writing articles. New stories are the lifeblood of Wikinews; without a constant supply of them, the project would simply not function. So, while there are other ways to help out, we strongly encourage, firstly and foremostly, writing.

Just like in a real, physical news workplace, the newsroom is the centre of activity. There, you'll see a list of all articles that are in development, as well as those that are ready for publication. But more on that later.

This tour assumes that you know at least the basics about editing a wiki. If you're completely new to the Wiki model, you may want to read this useful guide to editing and this navigation help page. You don't need to read everything in those pages to know how to edit; just skim through to get a general feel for things.

In any case, all basic editing controls are self-explanatory, and you should find your way around without difficulty. Whatever you do, don't be afraid - there's nothing you can do that can't be undone or that will hurt the wiki.

Quick-start to writing your first article
So, you've decided to jump in and contribute. That's great, but there are a few things you should know first, so you can get your story published without problems.

First you have to find an event to report on that has occurred within the past 2-3 days - if you wanted to report on something that happened before that, you're out of luck. This might seem like a tight deadline at first, remember that most news organisations work this way. An event will only remain news if it's current. Facts don't cease to be facts, but news ceases to be news.

Check the list of published articles on our front page and the newsroom to make sure your story hasn't already been reported on by someone else.

Not sure what you want to write about? Try browsing through a news aggregator's listings for the top headlines and see if something interests you (we recommend Google News).

Once you've found a story, the next step is to create the page. Type in a title into the following box and hit "create page". All words in your headline should be in lower case, except for the first one and any proper nouns. (For instance, instead of "Obama Inaugurated as New US President", write "Obama inaugurated as new US president").

We're writing for an international audience, so make sure your title will make sense to someone not necessarily familiar with the topic being discussed, by including a country or other easily recognisable location/person into the title. Example: instead of "Tsvangirai fires ministers", use "Zimbabwean PM Tsvangirai fires ministers".

So, what do I write in the actual article? >>>

First things first: sources
Now that you've hit the "create page" button, you'll face an edit window box with some odd-looking syntax on it. Don't edit or remove any of it for now; after you save the page, all of it will magically be transformed into nice-looking templates.

The first thing to do is cite the sources you'll use. At the bottom of the preloaded page, find the following:

Copy/paste this template several times so that there's one for each source you're using. Copy the URL of each source into the "url" tag, its headline into "title", and insert the story's publisher into the "pub" parameter. If the web page indicates the person who wrote the story, add it under the "author" parameter. Also include the date when the source published its story under "date=".

Make sure to only cite the sources necessary to back up all information. Don't link to sources with info that isn't found in your article - that's just an unnecessary workload for the reviewer who will go over your article (more on that later).

Once you're done with sources, hit "Save page" at the bottom of the edit box to save your work. Then, click "edit" at the top of the page to return to the edit window. You're going to write the actual content of your story. You should write the text between the date and haveyoursay templates near the top of the page.

The actual prose
When writing, use "reverse pyramid structure" - that is, most important information at the beginning, with details being provided later on. Keep your paragraphs fairly short, splitting them once every few sentences to make it easier to read/digest. Your story should have at least three paragraphs, ideally more than that if extra information is available.

Use a formal, journalistic tone when writing; avoid colloquialisms and don't be sensationalist - we're not a tabloid. Keep in mind that all stories must be neutral; don't promote one point of view over another and present all sides of an argument as fairly as you can. Avoid inserting your personal opinion; just state everything factually.

Try not to copy or paraphrase things too closely from the sources you use (aside from direct quotes from people); write things in your own words. We don't want to infringe copyright.

The style guide lists all the ins and outs of proper writing style. It's very long, and you don't need to know every detail of it to write well, but skim through the more important points if you have time, to get a feel for what style we use.

Once you've finished writing, simply replace the develop tag at the top of the page with review and someone should be around to look over it. If it gets approved and published, great! The story will appear on the front page, as well as Google News, our Twitter feed, and multiple RSS feeds.

If it doesn't meet publishing standards for some reason, the article will be bumped back to developing status, with a comment on the corresponding talk page saying what's wrong. When you feel you've addressed the listed concerns, feel free to add review once again.

What else can I do here? Where do I go for help? >>>

User talk:Mr.ちゅらさん

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

What else?
While writing is the most important task on Wikinews, there are other ways you can help:

 * Take a look at our community discussion page, called the Water Cooler. There are usually some threads open there that need extra input, such as new proposals or questions. Your input is always of value.
 * Look through articles in the newsroom. There might be an article with problems that you can copyedit or fix, or maybe you can help expand a story someone else has already started.
 * Consider creating a userpage for yourself - it's entirely optional, but can be used to tell others a little bit about yourself or information that might be useful to other users. For instance, if you know other languages, we encourage using babel boxes so that we know who can understand what language news sources if an international story breaks.

I'm stuck. Help!
If you ever need help with something, there should be someone around able to reply in a timely manner. Try posting a question at the assistance section of the Water Cooler or, if you want help in real-time, join our chat room. (You might not get a response immediately if you choose the latter; just stick around a bit and someone should reply.)

That's it! Thanks for reading. If you have any comments or suggestions for how we can improve this newcomers' tour, please make a comment here.

Fuel leak prompts 17,000-vehicle recall by Toyota

June 27, 2010 Toyota announced on Friday that it will recall around 17,000 vehicles in response to risks of the fuel tank in the cars leaking after a collision.

The model was subjected to the recall following a US  (NHTSA) investigation. Despite previously passing Toyota safety inspections, the conclusions of an NHTSA sub-contracted investigator were that; when the vehicles in question collided with an object at more than fifty-miles-per hour, more than 142 grams of fuel, the maximum allowed by US law, leaked from the crashed car.

According to Toyota, further tests did not show any additional failure of the fuel tank. In response to the findings, Toyota issued a recall of all affected vehicles, since the company had no solution immediately available. The recall includes 13,000 cars already sold, as well as another 4,000 still at dealerships.

Toyota says it plans to conduct further tests to determine the cause of the leak. A Toyota spokesman, Brian Lyons, said that the company was "still working to determine what the root cause of the condition is." It's still unclear when exactly the recall will take place, or when dealerships will be allowed to sell this model again. Lyons said that Toyota is "working feverishly to get this resolved as soon as possible."

Toyota isn't aware of any accidents stemming from the leaking fuel tank in the affected vehicles, first introduced in the summer of 2009.

Australian rules football: 2010 Gippsland Football League round 11 - Wonthaggi v Traralgon

June 28, 2010

defeated by five goals at the Wonthaggi Recreation Reserve as they kept in touch with Maffra at the top of the Gippsland Football League in Australia's state of Victoria. Wonthaggi now sit a game out of the top five.

Maffra (nine wins one loss) are on top a game clear of Traralgon, with Moe a further game back. Morwell (five wins five losses) are two games behind Moe in fourth. Drouin (four wins five losses) sit in fifth ahead of Sale (four wins five losses) and Leongatha (four wins six losses) on percentage. Warragul have not won a game this season. (Sale and Drouin have had one extra bye then the rest of the competition)

The Gippsland League, comprising nine clubs, is the major Australian rules football competition in the rural region between Melbourne and the boundary with New South Wales.

Scores are quoted as goals-behinds (total). Goals are worth six points, behinds one.

The opening quarter was a goal for goal affair with both teams kicking two each. However, Traralgon lead by three points going into the first break.

Traralgon kicked seven goals to one in the second quarter to take a 38 point lead into the third quarter. At half time Traralgon lead 9-6 (60) to 3-4 (22).

Wikinews asked Traralgon statistician Andy Thissling about Wonthaggi's second half fight back. "Yea[h] kick[ed] 4 goal[s] to 3 in 3[rd] quarter," Thissling said.

The teams kicked a goal each in the last quarter with the visitors winning 13-13 (91) to 8-13 (61).

Around the grounds, Morwell 14-16 (100) defeated Leongatha 7-10 (52), Sale 12-20 (92) defeated Warragul 2-6 (18) and Maffra 13-15 (93) defeated Moe 6-6 (42). Drouin had the bye.

Personally, I don't like the title. I'm not going to start changing it, but I have taken the liberty of correcting the spelling from arriverderci to the correct arrivederci. If our reviewers would bother to check the spelling of an article's title before applying the rubber stamp, it would probably help the project's credibility.

Kyrgyzstan votes on referendum for new constitution

June 27, 2010Kyrgyzstani citizens on Sunday voted on a referendum concerning a proposed constitution ahead of the country's elections this September.

Polls are open from between 0800 and 2000 local time (0200 and 1400 UTC) today, with results of the poll expected to be made public on Monday. According to Kyrgyzstan officials, around 55% of the eligible population had participated in the poll, which was announced in April.

Under the proposed constitution, Kyrgyzstan would move towards becoming a parliamentary republic, with elections for the parliament held every five years, and presidential elections every six years. The president would serve only one term. The current interim government would stay in power until late 2011.

The current president of the country,, said as she voted that "the people of Kyrgyzstan are proving that the country is united, standing on its feet and going forward. As a people, we want to heal the wounds we have sustained in recent times."

The referendum, which was backed by both the United States and Russia, has been criticized for coming too soon after recent violence in the country by both various human rights groups and opposition political parties within Kyrgyzstan.

The violence was triggered by the overthrow of the former president,, leading to riots in the southern part of the country, which both the government and ethnic leaders blamed the other for.

Hi Rockerball, i've returned your editor status per consensus at WN:FRRFP. You probably are familiar enough with the tool so that you don't need to be given editor message a second time. :-) Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  14:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Administrator
Hi Rockerball! I've promoted you to an administrator after unanimous support to do so at your request for adminship. If you need any help with your new tools, please don't hesitate to ask me at my talk page, or Water cooler/assistance. Cheers and have fun. Tempodivalse [talk]  13:56, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Hi Rockerball, maybe you could consider removing the Youtube link from your signature? It's generally frowned upon to place external links in your sig - imho it kinda disrupts the flow of conversations a bit to have the same EL popping up all the time. (More rationale about this is available at the wikipedia page for this; although it's not our policies, it brings up some good points.) Thanks and cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  13:44, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

5.9 magnitude aftershock in Chile revives fears of a new tragedy
I've just copyedited this article for grammar, and not to put down either you or the article creator, but could you be sure to check a bit more closely when reviewing articles? It's a bit unprofessional to have articles with grammatical errors on the main page. Just something to keep in mind. Thanks, and congrats on your recent RfA. – Juliancolton  | Talk 14:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree with Juliancolton; also, this had lots of grammatical errors and odd sentence constructions when it was published, and is still somewhat choppy after I rephrased things. Rather disappointed it went on lead one, tbh. Please do some copyedit next time you see an article with poor grammar. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  15:12, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Review backlog
Thank you for having a go at the backlog on unreviewed articles. But, I'm always a little concerned when I don't see some copyedit on articles prior to publication.

I'm biting my tongue on being critical as you seem to have managed to read at over 250 words-per-minute between two reviews, and carried out grammar, and fact-checking. But, I'll get back to reviewer status and review requirements another time.

Please review the rather verbose musings on my talk page; you've left me with no "real work" to do, I may even be forced to write an article! :-P --Brian McNeil / talk 09:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

 * You're welcome. Some articles don't really need copyedits (a letter or so maybe) IMHO. With that many reviews, I'm bound to miss somthing. In some cases I had actually reviewed an article and didn't fill in the PR form, so when I came back I filled it in (after a quick rereveiw to be sure nothing had changed). As I said I was bound to miss something with all of those reviews.--RockerballAustralia c 09:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Skenmy's oversight request
Just to note, I struck my oppose to the above. Since you're reason to oppose was simply 'per BRS' I thought I'd drop by. I'm not trying to pressure you to do the same; I just thought you should know as it may affect your views on the matter. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:14, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Having read through the subsequent discussion, I pretty much came to the same conclusion --RockerballAustralia c 02:18, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Please take more care when reviewing articles
Whether or not the title of 2010 FIFA World Cup: arriverderci Italia! is appropriate, could you at least ensure that it is spelt correctly? The correct spelling is arrivederci (minus an R). Correctly-spelt titles would probably help the project's credibility. Please take more care in future—reviewing is not supposed to be just a simple rubber stamp.

Quick bit of help requested before you Wikibreak...
Hi Rockerball. I just came across an interesting article on Radio Australia's Tok Pisin news service, saying that the High Court has ruled that if you aren't registered to vote in the Federal Elections on the 21st of August, you can still vote in them. I was wondering since you're sort of "on the floor", whether you could point me in the right directions of who to speak to or whether you could try and get an interview or quotes about it? It seems kind of a backfire to let people vote who aren't registered to vote...they could be anyone :) Your help welcomed if possible. BarkingFish (talk) 20:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

COI?
I'm not able to review the article, but it seems you may have a serious conflict of interest in writing it. -  Amgine | t 06:09, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * True that I have that COI. How serious that COI, I don't know. I think that'd be right at the edge of acceptable. --RockerballAustralia c 06:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I think that knowing the subjects of the (school) article is not a particularly serious COI, though it should be declared, which is why I passed your first article on the school controversy. If, however, you were to become involved in the campaign for the teachers, that would be a different matter. If you do decide to post on Facebook or otherwise participate in the matter, leave your (virtual) notebook and tape recorder behind (or write on that topic for another website.) --InfantGorilla (talk) 13:59, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * If I did become involved, the (possible) protest for example, I'd provide my side of the story, video's and what ever else I produce in the form of a press kit. I'd leave it to some one else to write in those cases. -RockerballAustralia c 01:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

2010 AFL Grand Final
Hey, just wondering if you want to collabrate on this again, like we have the last two years? I'm not on a bus trip this year, nor can I be called into work prior to 4:00pm, so half each, I'll do Q1 and Q3 (like 2008)? -- DizzyStar (talk) 21:05, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

GF 2010
See my notes at Wikinews talk:Story preparation/Collingwood and St. Kilda play in 2010 AFL Grand Final. What quarters do you want this year? Being a Collingwood supporter (I'm not as bad to be a conflict of interest) I'd rather take Q1 and Q3 so I can go nuts at 5 :P. But if you can't do Q1, I'll do 2 and 4. -- DizzyStar (talk) 05:42, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, everythings set for tomorrow. IRC channel is all set (link is on the collabration page). So yeah, everythings right. I'll be on IRC well before 2:30pm hopefully (proberly before 2 even), ready for the first bounce. -- DizzyStar (talk) 12:18, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfourtantly, I've been rostered on at work Saturday afternoon, so I won't be able to cover the replay. Sorry :( -- DizzyStar (talk) 20:41, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Leaked cables cause Australian concern
EPR not only didn't sight, it didn't even edit the article. It did put the passing template on the talk page, and I noticed when YT followed the (misleading!) instructions on the template by replacing review with publish. I've manually done what EPR should have done to the article. --Pi zero (talk) 16:20, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, it looks like I may have screwed up on this. Some of the edits included in my "fix" look like they post-dated your review.  --Pi zero (talk) 17:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I've UNSIGHTED it, because I ROYALLY SCREWED UP. I should never have touched this article. Please take a look and figure out which version of it should be published. --Pi zero (talk) 17:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Braidwood Inquiry finds Dziekanski tasering in British Columbia unjustified

June 30, 2010

Five deployments of the and the physical struggle with the four Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers contributed substantially to the death of Robert Dziekanski is the chief finding of the inquiry led by retired British Columbia Appeal Court Justice.

Speaking at a June 18 media conference following the release of the report on the second phase of the inquiry into the events at on October 14, 2007  Mr. Braidwood concluded "that the constable was not justified in deploying the weapon, and that neither that constable nor the corporal honestly perceived that Mr. Dziekanski was intending to attack any of the officers. I also concluded that the two other constables, during their testimony before me, offered patently unbelievable after-the-fact rationalizations of their police notes and their statements to the [RCMP Integrated Homicide Investigation Team] investigators.”

RCMP Commissioner responded to Mr.Braidwood's report in a press release saying "The RCMP acknowledges that its handling of this incident failed at many levels and we agree that events that took place at the Vancouver International Airport on October 14, 2007, should have unfolded differently. It is clear that our policies and training in place at the time were deficient. We acknowledge that the actions of our members who dealt with Mr. Dziekanski also fell short, including the fact that our officers did not take enough time to try to de-escalate the situation and did not provide an appropriate level of care to Mr. Dziekanski."

This tragic case is, at its heart, the story of shameful conduct by a few officers. It ought not to reflect unfairly on the many thousands of RCMP and other police officers who have, through years of public service, protected our communities and earned a well-deserved reputation in doing so.The mandate of the Braidwood commissions of inquiry, launched by the government of British Columbia (BC) in February 2008, included reporting on and making recommendations about the appropriate use of conducted energy weapons. Sworn evidence was received from 91 witnesses over 61 days. The second phase was "to provide the Dziekanski family and the public with a complete record of the circumstances of Mr. Robert Dziekanski’s death and to make recommendations the Commissioner considers necessary and appropriate" as per the commission's web site.

The government of BC has already moved to "severely [restrict] the use of Tasers by all police, sheriff’s and corrections officers, and developing standardized police training for Taser use, crisis intervention, and responding to emotionally disturbed people" according to a June 18, 2010 press release. The province also plans to create "a new civilian-led unit to investigate all independent municipal police- and RCMP-related deaths and serious incidents" within the next 12 months.

Mr. Braidwood criticised the whose changes in response to the incident were "minor and few" but had high praise for Vancouver International Airport's "exceptional steps in the aftermath of Mr. Dziekanski’s death to identify inadequacies in its policies, practices, and procedures, and to remedy them."
