Oxford march supports animal testing

February 25, 2006

Oxford, England - Today saw the first demonstration in support of Oxford University's new animal testing facility on South Parks Road. Around 600 students marched under the banner of PRO-test, an organisation set up several weeks ago in opposition to SPEAK, which campaigns and demonstrates frequently in the city for animal rights.

The demonstration began at 11:30am outside Balliol College on Broad Street, in the historic centre of the city, and (just before midday) marched along Holywell Street and Mansfield Road up towards South Parks Road. Police prevented the PRO-test demonstration from reaching the actual building site because of a SPEAK protest (around 150 people, according to Thames Valley Police) which was occurring there at that time. The crowd was addressed by neurosurgeon Tipu Aziz, Dr Simon Festing (executive director of the Research Defense Society), and Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris, amongst others.

Students demonstrated for different reasons, however. Some were obviously marching in favour of animal testing in order to further medical research, while others wanted to show solidarity with researchers and the university, who have been coming under increasing pressure from organisations such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).

Last year, the ALF claimed responsibility for its arson attack on the Long Bridges boathouse, and recently it put out a communiqué stating that they "must target professors, teachers, heads, students, investors, partners, supporters and ANYONE that dares to deal in any part of the University in any way." SPEAK and the ALF are separate organisations; the former campaigns peacefully, while the latter often uses tactics such as threatening letters, intimidation and criminal damage to further its cause. It should be noted, however, that in an interview for Sky News on the 25th February, a spokeswoman for SPEAK refused to condemn their activities.

The PRO-test march returned back down Mansfield Road and Holywell Street (in order to avoid passing the SPEAK demonstration), and finished outside the Radcliffe Camera. After a few speeches, everyone dispersed, the demonstration having passed off peacefully, though there was an attempt by five SPEAK demonstrators to break through the police line. SPEAK activists continued to leaflet on Cornmarket Street, and marched down from outside the research lab into the centre around 2pm.

User:DragonFire1024/January06Archive

Recent event that led to blocking of Administrators and several users
Once I have been unblocked, I will place this on my user page.

I have a log of events in IRC discussing recent events on the article Pennsylvania man named in alleged terror plot. Although I dispute any FURTHER edits on this article, it has been moved backed to develop and into a protected state based on NO actionable objections.

Several users calim the article is a US POV. I am sorry BUT the event happened in the US, the alleged plot was going to happen in the US, against the US and the alleged plotter is a US citizen. Does someone want Egypt to investigate this? Maybe China? Lets be realistic. What other government could possibly comment on it? Just because a user does NOT like the US or its government, that gives that user NO right to enforce HIS or HER POV on ANY article. Wikinews policy strictly states that ALL articles MUST supports a NPOV and ALL objections bust be actionable. Saying that the US is not a "credible" source is not an actionable objection.

The recent events on the articles talk page byt useres on it have lead to the block of an administrator. Here are the said blocks: Multiple user blocks related to Pennsylvania man named in alleged terror plot.

I was blocked for advice I recieved from an administrator. The advice and the events that occurred from that advice were all done in GOOD faith. In fact, several hours of discussion in IRC lead to said changes. The reverts I made were good faith and were also to UPHOLD policy that was being broken. As far as I know there is nothing anywhere that says only an administrator can uphold policy, and I encourage someone to prove me wrong. Although my block is only for a little less than 8 hours, I still believe it was unjust. Policy is policy and my reverts were tro uphold that policy.

I think the article now need to be published, and protected as I am no longer going to voice concern of it as my concern has been clearly spelled out on the articles talk page, and the other so-called objections by the useres are NOT actionable.

Wikinews, in my opinion, is a major news source. Millions op people visit Wikinews and the other projectrs combined, daily. POV is NOT allowed and thats what makes this agency BETTER than any of the others.

Futhermore, I also believe, with the exceptionof the administrator(s) involved, that the users involved in reverts and editing to suite their POV, have teamed up. They are the same users who disputed this article: U.S. airstrike targeting Ayman al-Zawahiri leaves 18 dead in Pakistani village and this article: Pakistani Official claims 'foreign terrorists' among civilians killed in U.S. airstrike and this one: Al Qaeda bomb maker reportedly killed in U.S. airstrike in Pakistan. It is my belief that because those users do not like the US or show a very high dislike for the US, that the users have INTENTIONALLY delayed publication of those articles including the one that is in question today. Once again, if you do not like the US then thats NOT my problem nor is it Wikinews' problem. The users POV on the US Government cannot and will not influence any article on this site and I will uphold any policy to make sure that any user anywhere will not and cannot voice their POV about a nation's or a country's government. Period. We are reporters and Wikinews is NOT an editorial or a blog. Jason Safoutin 03:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

a little answer to your rantlike (?) text if your interested
here International 12:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Article Protection

 * I have noticed something. There are articles as old as if not older than September of 2005 that are NOT protected. Recent edits show that. I also know that articles that are at LEAST 2 weeks old, SHOULD be protected. Given the fact that the Senate and other government agencies are making unjustified edits on Wikipedia, I think that all articles older than 2 weeks NEED to be protected...ALL OF THEM. Recent edits here: Second night of violence in Belfast, although in good faith, show that IF the Senate or any other agency were to come over to Wikinews and start making UNJUST edits, they can easily edit old articles NOT protected and those edits MIGHT go unnoticed. Although this edit was reverted based on the WN:NOT policy, other edits could go unnoticed and harm articles. We should really get up-to-date on protecting. Comments? feel free to respond. Jason Safoutin 11:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Articles I HIGHLY Dispute

 * 18 killed in U.S. air strike on village in Pakistan
 * I must say I am very disappointed in some individuals who participated in the editing of the article 18 killed in U.S. air strike on village in Pakistan. The article was changed from its original story of Zawahari being a target, to being very very bias and in my opinion, misleading. I do not think I have seen a worse collaberation on news than this. While all the major outlets still report that Zawahiri was in fact the target, We do not even have a headline or a "real" article to support the sources stated in the article. The article was supposed to be based on Zawahiri being a target and was changed into talking about the victims. I think this article should be reverted back into the state of talking about Zawahiri (when the article was created as breaking news, the headline was "Zawahiri possibly dead"...and now it ended up to its current headline: "18 killed in U.S. air strike on village in Pakistan." I hope that everyone will learn from this experience and when other IMPORTANT news comes along, we can all work on it together. I must say I am very disappointed. Shame on you guys/girls. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin

 * Pakistani Official claims 'foreign terrorists' among civilians killed in U.S. airstrike
 * I must say. This is yet another form of BAD reporting/collaberation. I believe this article was changed and altered to fit a POV. I currently dispute the article and it was published under dispute. We are here to report, not force others to see our political beliefs. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin

Deleting and editing comments
It is not really considered good Wiki-ettiquete to remove comments from another user's talk page, if you wish to retract what you say, use <s> and </s> to strike out a comment. Deleting a comment made by another user on your talk page is a big no-no. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As I said in the comment above, deleting a comment made by another user on your talk page is a big no-no. The vast majority of material you have here should perhaps be on your user page.  --Brian McNeil / talk 13:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually removing comments on your own talkpage is permitted, however it is considered extremely rude. Combined with other acts it could become part of a reason for blocking as it shows an extreme lack of wiki etiquette. When you remove comments the polite thing to do is to archive them and/or remove all the comments on the page --Cspurrier 15:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

dragon not to be mean but really man sometimes you can get to people!

 * If you must delete comments, at least put a warning up saying something along the lines of "I delete comments that have been dealt with and are no longer needed" or something. However I highly recomend you archive your talk page as it gets to long (move comments to a subpage like User talk:DragonFire1024/1 or User talk:DragonFire1024/archive/1) as that is generally considered much more polite.

I was wandering...
around some nooks and crannies here, and came across something you may find of interest.

You have excellent writing talent, and so does the major contributor in the article linked to (now a former contributor). The advice given by Davodd on the discussion page was written before I became involved here, back in March FYI, and reports on what you will see was a major news event. Bear in mind that the article was created shortly after the birth of Wikinews in November 2004.

Best regards, and thanks for sharing here with your interest in the news. NO

To give you the context of why I sent this, the well researched and fascinating Distributed computing to get "interstellar project" article comes close to breaching some of the Davodd comments, namely a sense of immediacy.

If you are like me, you are less interested in criticism than you are interested in what some person can do to improve upon what has already been posted. I would ruin that article in trying to change it. So please don't take my message here as criticism, because what I am trying to do is help us be better with less effort, and I also want to be a part of the happenings here. -Edbrown05 05:03, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok...I just got out of work...what are you trying to say? this is not news?. I think it IS news. This is about a project that could possibly change the way we look at oursleves. It could possibly answer some of the questions as to why or how we are here. I do beleive that something that NASA is willing to let the public participate is big news. And for free. So I am sorry when I say this but I think it is news. Its current and its an even thats about to take place. I never marked the story as breaking, so where is this article not news? Its not boring, as you did say the story was "facinating"..it is a little long but not too long. Most articles in a paper on on another news site are much longer. And this article is not meant for as immediacy. It is however news. -DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 13:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes I think it is big news. The "distributed computing" topic from the headline was not reported until I lost count of how many paragraphs into the story. Sorry I wasn't specific before. -Edbrown05 22:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Sharon story
Hi there, I've noticed that you "updated" the Ariel Sharon story. This is contradictory to site guidelines, as per WN:NOT: "5. Wikinews articles are not works in progress. Developing articles are marked with the template. Once written and published they are historical documents; they should not continue to be updated or changed. Especially, they should not be altered to an angle or POV not reflective of the article as it was published. Wikinews is not an encyclopedia."

Additionally, try to avoid putting periods into headlines (titles distinguish start of a story, whereas periods denote the end of a statement). Thanks! --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 20:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Featured/Lead article
The lead/featured articles are a few days old...shouldn't they be updated? (with something more current...or about something that is happening or going to happen? And if so, am I able to do it? if so how? DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 03:20, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, of course! Go to 'Write/edit articles' listed on left column navigation box. There are links there for Top, Second and Feature leads. The template is fairly straight forward to edit (as far as templates go). -Edbrown05 03:32, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If you mess up, don't worry, if you don't get it fixed, somebody will :) Edbrown05 03:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Iran resumes nuclear research
Could you please explain this edit? "Revert, continued vandalism"? You reverted the addition of wikilinks, categories, interwikilinks and spelling fixes. Why? --Deprifry|+T+ 22:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone keeps putting up an image with an iran map with a nuclear symbol (like an atom thing). And so many people made so many edits and some of which were continued vandal, I put it back the the artile revision I thought was best. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 22:32, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but there is not a single incident of vandalism in the entire history of the article. And there was no dispute whatsoever on the image. User:TUFKAAP put it in here and I don't think you can call him a vandal. --Deprifry|+T+ 22:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * My mistake then. I thought I had seen where it had been removed preveiously...i am sorry. They can put it back up if he/she likes. And I am sorry about the wikis. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin

al-Zawahiri article
I appreciate that you are seeing the article the way that it was written. I apologize that you had to go with those mindless discussions with two users who are, IMO, too wrapped up in ideology to even report on what someone states without skewing it to make it look like the US is the devil. The best way to deal with these kinds of editors is to ignore them as much as possible (I know it's hard to on this article, so I'll have to thank you for sticking with it for the good of Wikinews). In time, the article will be picked up by other editors which will determine that the article is about the reports, and that the two users are trying to spin the story off into something against the NPOV policy. Thanks again, --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 01:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * You post on my discussion page to leave the story alone, then you change the headline, inappropriately. -Edbrown05 01:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Only because someone sited it for ANOTHER clean-up. I fixed 2 things and thats that. There is NO MORE REASONS to change the article DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin
 * I must say I am very disappointed in some individuals who participated in the editing of the article 18 killed in U.S. air strike on village in Pakistan. The article was changed from its original story of Zawahari being a target, to being very very bias and in my opinion, misleading. I do not think I have seen a worse collaberation on news than this. While all the major outlets still report that Zawahiri was in fact the target, We do not even have a headline or an artcle to support the reports. The article was and is based on Zawahiri being a target and was changed into talking about the vistims. I move that this artile remain in NPOV until A) everyone can agree on a headline/title and on the wording of the article B) it is reverted back into the state of talking about Zawahiri...or C) request the article be deleted on the grounds of NPOV and misleading information. I hope that everyone will learn from this experience and when more IMPORTANT news comes along, we can all work together. I must say I am very disappointed. Shame on you guys/girls. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin

tags
On articles which have the deletion request tag, you must leave that tag if it has been listed on the WN:DR. On articles which have the minimal tag, but not the deletion request tag, that tag should be left to let admins know the article qualifies for a speedy deletion. Thanks! -  Amgine | talk en.WN 03:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Please don't be discouraged...
Please don't be discouraged by the negative comments of others. Pay attention if comments about you or to you are constructive; discount comments that are hurtful or non-productive. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Not to worry, I am not easily discouraged. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin

 * I'll also extend some form of "don't be discouraged" message as you genuinely seem to be an enthusiastic contributor who just needs a bit more time to settle in. I understand you've had a run-in with a POV warrior, please don't let this encourage you to become one for the other side.  It is very important to become part of the community and seek constructive criticism rather than defend your work against all comers.  --Brian McNeil / talk 21:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Jason, you could start a portal by copying an existing one (example Portal:Middle East and replace Middle East by Iran.... I am not realy kown what the consenses is about the best example as there are many different approaches. HenkvD 22:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Jason or Dragon a major edit is going on for Al Jazeera good job! I'am hopeful to see a lot of good information thanks WM

Airstrike article
I will look at this article momentarily. I strongly encourage you to *work*with* other editors, and stop opposing them. When an issue is disputed, suggest a compromise text on the talk page. Work together to find text which is factually supported by sources. Where there are sources stating a fact, and it is relevant to the news event, do not oppose its inclusion. Likewise, where there are not sources do not attempt include it. This guideline applies to all parties. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 00:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I had to leave earlier -- but the article has been published. Does this mean that you guys found some middle ground? --Chiacomo (talk) 04:28, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

"expand" you ment? dragon...

Re: Articles I HIGHLY dispute
I noticed your comment on this in Recent Changes, and thought maybe me waffling some bullshit on your talk page might help you put the POV of articles in perspective, or at least start taking an interest in this rather difficult aspect of Wikinews. You are a good writer who I'd like to see stick around, but you need to start looking at how the media around the world reports on stories. For example, if you're doing a story on some incident of US military action, at the very least read how Al-jazeera report on it. To you that, as a source, may seem completely unreasonable and laden with Anti-US sentiment. To their readers and viewers it seems a reasonable report, based on their world-view. What you will generally find is that the facts are the same, but the specific facts given prominence in the differing reports will completely alter the "colour" of the story. We want the facts in black and white. Anyway, enough waffling. The basic message is don't become a "POV warrior", contentious articles will take longer to get to, and widen what you read to try and minimise conflict with people who read/watch different media. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Alright, calm
I appreciate your enthusiasm on the CNN article, but perhaps we should just back off for the night. I'll take a jab at it tonight, and if there are still issues, we could take them up later. Sound good? --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 03:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Whats your problem?
The article was untill I changed it Breaking. Go back to the policy and inform yourself. I really hope you calm down. International 09:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It is still unclear who the aledged terrorists are. Dolrums edit is pointing at that. International 09:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

RE: Terrorist article
I don't want to, but a story like that is a little too big to keep in development for that long. Compromising items is a common thing here to avoid wars - if it were a "large issue", I wouldn't support the publishing. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 14:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It is factually correct, although I agree if you made the claim that it needs to be attributed more clearly. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 15:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Published articles
For the record, the not editing published articles rules is (a) more intended at older articles, and (b) not absolute even for very old article (and even less absolute for more recent ones), but the single most important reason is:
 * Long ignored wiki pages are vandal fodder---few people read old news, so admins here protect all old news.

In particular, its not appropriate to apply the rule when the creation of a new article is also not appropriate. For example, we vote to merge stubs with existing publish artciles on WN:DR all the time. In general, the question you should ask yourself is: Are the changes newsworthy on their own? If they are, they deserve their own article. If not, they should be mergd with an existing article, if its not too old. So the case you must make to prevent ongoing modifications is simply: these new changes diserve their own article. Even in that case, the new changes will still mean the addition of related news links, or even extremely brief notes about the future news.

Anyway, I'm sorry your havving such a hard time with some people here, but try to just relax, most changes to published article won't be to egregious. BTW, I've actually written an article, published it, watch it get tagged as NPOV & abandonded based upon content added after I stopped paying attention, and then seen everyone vote for deletion on the ground that it was old news. So their is a problem here, but we can't solve it by locking published stories. A wiki must be relaxing if it is to survive. Nyarlathotep 15:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Portal Blues
If someone makes a POV portal it will generally end up dealt with, although it might take a few days. For a lot of things I think you're a good contributor who pretty much understands the rules that float around Wikinews, but because you've not quite got to grips with it being a community you expect more immediate reactions to things you believe to be outside those rules. We have people from all over the world, which slows down decision making a lot, but things work out well. Be a little more patient, and a little more widely read, and I think you'll fit right in - especially if you follow the development of controversial articles under our current administrators. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Applicable Explanation Demand
A clear demand is made for a specific explanation to be provided for the reversion of the Ayman al-Zawahiri releases new tape article entry made as per referenced WN:NOT; no entry has been made knowingly to the article Al Jazeera airs new Osama Bin Laden tape. On the question of addition of information that was available at the time but not included in the article yet the user Amgine and I had discussion in that article discussion page that reached conclusion that such as done in my former edit that you reverted is permitted. The single potential meaning that is yet possible without further explanation for the meaning of the reversion is that the degree of detail added was excessive, as in the end no further modification was made in the last edit if care was taken to see what had been changed by it. Perhaps the relative location within Pakistan is not as useful, but as it was added by another user and it prompted me to include the village name it was retained. I demand that the information village name of Damadola and its presence in Pakistan be restored in the least to the line as follows in the form otherwise approved with only that addition rather than the edit previously made if the case of excess detail was the meaning intended: "On the tape, Zawahiri makes no mention of the U.S. missile attacks that killed 18 people, including women and children, and is suspected of killing 4 terrorists last week in the village of Damadola in Pakistan." This makes the event referenced obvious when future review of the article is done, as it is also a goal I have been told that the articles serve as records. There is no justifiable objection to this from in WN:NOT policy to any degree as the only change made is to clarify the event referenced. Opalus 20:04, 23 January 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 CJCurrie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name CJCurrie~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.

PRO-test in Oxford
Hiya, you're article has a few problems which can be easily cleared up. You did try to represent both sides of the story by providing links to each side but much of the content is written from the point of view of the PRO-test group, including the title of the article. One way that we try to keep our articles unbiased is to roughly divy up the content to each side. Two ways of doing this are adding more of the SPEAK side to the article or to condensing some of the PRO-test side.

Wikinews, along with most other wikimedia foundation projects, is big on clear and explicit identification of sources. You could create an external headline with the links to those sources such as:

External Resources
PRO-test

SPEAK

The wikicode for the above:

=== External Resources ===

PRO-test

SPEAK

If you have any questions, please ask. You can post on the article's talk page or my userpage. --Sfullenwider 03:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

PRO-test image
You have marked this 'no derivatives', but would you consent to the protesters being made brighter compared to the buildings and sky. It's a good image but would definitiely benefit from such a change. Would you also consider or consent to uploading the image to the commons (I'm not sure if the CC licence prohibits this)? Thanks Spaully 15:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I consent to you editing the photo, Spaully. You can also upload the image to the commons, though I would prefer it was put kept under a no-derivatives license. Please let me know if this isn't possible under Commons and I'll reconsider. Cheers, Mark 21:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Oxford march supports animal testing

I was present at the protest below - so a lot of it is eyewitness reporting. Make of that what you will! --Mark1987 03:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Sfullenwider - I noted your points re NPOV. However, there is naturally going to be a slant towards PRO-test in this article as:

1) there was a much, much bigger turnout. The official police figure is 600, but the organisers claim that no less than 700 people were marching at any time and that total attendance was over 1,000. That's 4x greater. I guess it would be similar (though not to the same level) as giving the pro-Iraq war demonstrators as much space as the anti-Iraq demonstrators on the 15th February 2003.

2) SPEAK demonstrate frequently but never to the same levels here. Further, the demonstration today was absolutely peaceful (at least on the PRO-test side), whereas SPEAK and groups affiliated to them often engage in abusive, insulting or sometimes down-right illegal methods to get their point across.

However, even taking these two points into consideration, the article probably is slightly more slanted towards the PRO-test side. Maybe you could suggest some changes that could help it become more NPOV?

Cheers, Mark --Mark1987 04:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe a good choice for featured article? Nyarlathotep 20:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

nitpicks
A nitpick. The link to the crowd being addressed by Neurosurgeon Tipu Aziz et al is POV as it's from one of the groups. It would be better to include a link from a source neutral to both parties. Also, many of the other links should be placed in the sources section. Other than that the article looks good. I'm glad to have you with us Mark1987 and I hope you write many more articles! --Sfullenwider 02:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

U.S. appeals court to reconsider Hawaiians-only admission policy

February 26, 2006

The United States 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Wednesday voted to reconsider an earlier decision against, an independent school in Honolulu, regarding the legality of its admission policy that favors.

A majority of the 23 eligible judges (one judge from Hawaii recused himself) on the 9th Circuit Court voted to reconsider the August 2, 2005 decision, in which the court ruled 2-1 that the school's admission policy violates federal civil rights law by absolutely barring non-Hawaiians from attending the school.

A date has not been set for the rehearing of the case before a so-called en banc panel of 15 of the 24 judges.

The case was filed in June 2003 on behalf of an anonymous non-Hawaiian student who applied for admission to Kamehameha and was rejected. U.S. District Judge Alan Kay ruled in November 2003 that Kamehameha's admission policy was not in violation of civil rights law, citing the school's unique historical circumstances and its mission in remediating the socioeconomic and educational disadvantages that Native Hawaiians face. Kay's ruling was overturned by the 9th Circuit in its August 2005 ruling.

The student is currently completing his final year at a public high school. The rehearing of the case means that the student will most likely not be able to attend Kamehameha before he graduates in June.

Kamehameha Schools was established in the 1884 will of Hawaiian princess, the last direct descendant of King Kamehameha I. Her will directed that the schools give "preference to Hawaiians of pure or part aboriginal blood."

Kamehameha Schools' admission policy, according to its web site, is to "give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law." In theory, qualified non-Hawaiians may be admitted after all qualified Hawaiian applicants are offered admission, but in practice there are usually fewer spaces than there are qualified Hawaiian applicants.

First Australian convicted under new anti-terrorism laws

February 26, 2006

Former taxi driver Joseph Terrence Thomas has become the first Australian convicted under new new anti-terrorism laws.

Thomas was convicted by a Supreme Court jury of receiving a plane ticket and AU$4,740 (US$3,500) from Al-Qaeda associate Khalid bin Attash. The 32-year-old was also convicted of having a Pakistani visa changed to appear that he had been in the area for two weeks, instead of two-and-a-half years.

The jury acquitted Thomas on further charges of intentionally providing himself as a resource at the Al Farooq terrorist training camp in Afghanistan and of agreeing to become a sleeper agent for Al-Qaeda in Australia.

During the trial, prosecutor Nicolas Robinson alleged that Thomas told Australian Federal Police officers that Al-Qaeda wanted him to conduct surveillance of Australian military installations.

Outside the court, Thomas’s father, Ian Thomas, told reporters he was happy his son had been acquitted of the more serious charges. "The acquittal has been a great victory - I've always supported our son and family and will continue," he said.

Thomas’s wife, Maryati Thomas, said she was relieved Thomas was not convicted of all charges. "It's a big victory for us, the fact that he's here and all the family have been standing right next to us," she said.

Federal Attorney General Philip Ruddock said the convictions show Australia’s new anti-terrorism laws are working. "The importance of not engaging with terrorist organisations and in this case receiving money from such an organisation ought not be underestimated by the broader community,” he said.

Defence barrister Lex Lasry applied for bail, telling the court that Thomas had no previous convictions and had already spent time in custody in Pakistan and three months in the maximum security Acacia Unit at Barwon Prison. Justice Philip Cummins remanded Thomas into custody for a pre-sentencing hearing on March 2, 2006.

Thomas faces a maximum of 25 years imprisonment for receiving funds from Al-Qaeda and a maximum of two years imprisonment for altering his visa.

Talk:Dublin unionist march turns violent

Northern Ireland "Heavily" Protestant?
As a native of Northern Ireland, I know it is not "heavily" Protestant. The official census figures (2001), show that 43.8% of the population are from a "Catholic Community Background" and 53.1% are from a "Protestant and Other Christian (including Christian related) Community Background". Northern Ireland is not "heavily" either religion. There is only a 9.3% difference. Jvlm.123 10:46, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, it's been changed now.

Story title
The title "Dublin unionist march turns violent" seems misleading to me - it suggests that the violence originated from the Unionist marchers rather than republican counter-demonstrators. I haven't edited on WikiNews before so I'm reluctant to move it in case there is a policy against renaming news articles from previous days. Please advise. --Ryano 10:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Anglican Church offers landmark compensation deal

February 26, 2006

The Anglican Church in South Australia has agreed to pay up to AU$4 million to 36 victims of alleged paedophile Robert Brandenberg.

Brandenberg, a priest and former Church of England Boys Society leader, committed suicide in 1999, on the same day he was to face court on child sex offence charges.

Peter Humphries, lawyer for the victims, said the deal was the result of three years of negotiations with the church. "Two thirds of the batch of claims have been assessed and we're satisfied that the church has made sensible offers – we'll be recommending settlement in next day or so," he said.

Humphries said he has recommended most of the victims settle with the church. "For those clients who accept offers that will be it," he said.

24 victims have agreed to accept the church’s offer and have settled their claims. The remaining 12 are expected to be finalised soon.

Eva Hassett, VP of Savarino Construction Services Corp. answers questions on Buffalo, N.Y. hotel redesign

Wikinews was the first to tell you that the Elmwood Village Hotel development in Buffalo, New York was to undergo "significant changes".

The Elmwood Village Hotel is a proposed project that would be placed at Elmwood and Forest Aves. in Buffalo. In order for the development to take place, at least five buildings that house both businesses and residents, must be demolished.

To confirm and to get more information about the changes, Wikinews interviewed Eva Hassett, Vice President of Savarino Construction Services Corporation, the development company in charge of building the hotel.

Wikinews: The hotel proposal is being redesigned. Could you comment on that? What changes are being made? Are they significant?

Eva Hassett: The hotel has been resized as a 72-room, four story building. This is 10% smaller in number of rooms and a full story lower. We are also redesigning the facades in a way that will minimize the mass - more of a vertical feeling than horizontal. Different materials, windows, details. The smaller size of the hotel also makes the number of on-site parking spaces more appropriate and hopefully represents less of a challenge to an already difficult parking situation.

WN: Will you still be going before the city's planning board as scheduled on February 28? Same for the Common Council?

Hassett: We will be on the Planning Board agenda this Tuesday morning but I do not expect that the Board will vote on the item that morning. I think we will be mainly explaining the new design and hearing input/questions.

WN: Will there be anymore public meetings?

Hassett: We would be happy to do one more big public meeting. We will be talking to Forever Elmwood about that on Monday (February 27, 2006). We would like to see if there is support for the new design and we also want to honor the public's request for another meeting. I am hopeful that meeting can take place the week of March 6th.

WN: Is Savarino considering Mr. Rocco Termini's design/proposal? If no, do you (Savarino) support/oppose?

Hassett: We are hopeful that we can build the hotel as redesigned. We think it would be a great addition to the Elmwood Ave. area, a good way for out-of-towners to see what Buffalo offers and a big help to the businesses there.

WN: Are you considering more time for the community to make a judgment?

Hassett: As I mentioned above, we expect to have one more meeting to get public reaction to the new design, and I think the Planning Board may want an additional meeting to make their determination. We do however, have constraints that will limit the amount of extra time. We still think it is a great project for the City and Elmwood; and we still want it to be something that the community wants as well.

So far, the City of Buffalo's City Planning Board is still scheduled to meet at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern) on February 28, 2006 followed by the Common Council meeting at 2:00 p.m. on the same day.

Images of the design are not yet available. "We are working on the renderings this weekend, but I will likely have some early in the week," stated Hassett.

Opposition may boycott Thai election; demonstrators want Thaksin out

February 26, 2006 Having outlined his manifesto in his last pre-election radio broadcast, beleaguered Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has failed to deflect calls for his resignation.

Offering an increased minimum wage, additional debt relief for farmers, and pay rises for civil servants the PM starts the election campaign with his Thai Loves Thais (Phak Thai Rak Thai) party in good shape for the snap election announced last Friday.

Thaksin's dissolution of the lower house of parliament, and move to re-establish his authority through elections has met with criticism from leaders in the troubled southern provinces as well as from political opponents. Zafi-in Jae-loh, the deputy chairman of Narathiwat Islamic Committee said the move would do nothing to help the situation faced by ethnic Malay Muslims in the south. The three southernmost provinces, Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala face near-daily bombings and shootings with a considerable armed forces presence contributing to tensions in the area.

Opposition parties concerned that the three years early election will not resolve the current political situation have announced that they may boycott the April 2 poll. The Democrats (Phak Prachatipat) and the smaller Great People's Party (Phak Mahachon) took over 25% of the vote in the February 2005 elections. Third placed at the last election with 11.4% of the vote, the Thai Nation Party (Phak Chart Thai) have yet to announce their decision, leaving party leader Banharn Silapa-archa to decide.

Despite the upcoming election, and in the face of rumours of violence, a mass protest against the Prime Minister still went ahead. The People’s Alliance for Democracy was reported to be monitoring a crowd they were suspicious of ahead of the rally in Sanam Luang, Bangkok. However the main rally went off peacefully. Noon saw the arrival of former politician Chamlong Srimuang with the Santi Asoke Buddhist sect, including barefoot monks and nuns. Reports indicated that the total number in attendance and supporting the call for the now-caretaker Prime Minister to go were in the tens of thousands. Many protesters vowed to stay overnight. Alluding to past protests that had toppled Thai governments, Chamlong said "We can eat anything, sleep anywhere. Tonight we will sleep here". Anti-Thaksin banners displayed at the open-air rally stated that the he had "No right to rule", while others read "Thaksin=Toxin" below an image aimed at comparing the PM with Adolf Hitler.

Calls for the PM to go have a long history, with his policy of pursuing his opponents through the courts drawing the attention of the King, thus leading to Thaksin dropping cases against media firebrand, Sondhi Limthongkul. A challenge through the country's Constitutional Court was brought by 28 of the country's senators following the PM's family selling their 49% share in Shin Corporation tax-free. The sale, to Temasek Holdings, was widely seen as allowing control of key telecoms infrastructure to pass into foreign hands. Wikipedia describes Temasek as, "the investment arm of the Singapore government."

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 Varmash2807. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Varmash2807~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)

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 Peacedog. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Peacedog~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 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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! --Brian McNeil / talk 19:58, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
