Talk:Colleges offering admission to displaced New Orleans students

 * The discussion pages for all the subpages redirect here.

Adding schools
Here's how to add a school, though it doesn't have to be perfect. It's okay if you're a little off; someone else may come and tidy it up.

On the appropriate page (Alabama–Kentucky, Louisiana–North Dakota, Ohio–Wyoming, International, Faculty, graduate and professional students), follow the "[edit]" link next to the state name of the school(s) you want to add. For schools offering opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate/professional, please add at least the school name to the faculty/graduate/professional list.

Add the following Wiki markup:

* 1 (2) - 3 [4]

Or even just

* 1 (2) - 3 [4]

Replace 1 with the university name, 2 with the City and state (list of two letter abbreviations), 4 with a URL to the pertinent page. For 3, copy or rewrite the pertinent information. For universities offering accomodations for graduate students, professional students, medical students, law students, or faculty, make the relevant parts bold. Do this either by highlighting and clicking the B button above the edit window, or by putting three single-quotes ( ''' ) on either side of the text.

Please try to enter the university name in the edit summary box. Choose "Save page".

I hope these instructions are easy enough to follow. Clarify if you want. --Christopherlin 22:10, 5 September 2005 (UTC), updated 01:00, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

While I realize this may not be typical of news articles, it seemed like important information that needed immediate distribution. Feel free to edit it, but if you feel it is inappropriate for WN, a correction would be preferred over deletion. Deadsalmon 21:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * No it's not what Wikinews would normally consider a "story"... but if we can't make exceptions at times like these, we'd be a bunch of assholes Dan100 (Talk) 22:54, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

With articles such as this I would like to see on the talk page a section titled "Original Reporting notes", or similar, so it is easy to find the information about the original reporting. - Borofkin 00:26, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Undergraduate, Graduatate/Law Schools, and Research
As this list becomes longer should we divide it into various degree types? Ex U of Alabama Law School has a "Visting" program setup so that Law Students don't have to go through the trouble of transfering and transfering back. According to the article they pay no tutition also | Campus News Article --Mitrebox 22:53, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Unless somebody beats me to the punch, I'll try to categorize in the new future. Deadsalmon 01:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we divide it by state? --Aciel 18:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

is this original reporting? The information seems to be gathered from a bunch of sources... so much so I think it's original reporting. I didn't contribute so I won't add the template myself but I think it should be.
 * Sorry, I forgot to add that. I pieced it together from multiple news articles (and an unwieldy WP article), so that probably qualifies as original. I'll add the tag. Deadsalmon 06:45, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Categorized by state. --Christopherlin 00:54, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Page is getting pretty long. We should start to think about how to split it into smaller, bite-sized chunks. My first impulse is to divide it into undergraduate only and undergrad/grad/professional/faculty, because that will definitely make the latter information easier to find-- but it's probably also counterintuitive. Any ideas? --Amvhoward

 * Two questions:
 * 1) Should we include links to other sources that are attempting to accomplish the same task (i.e. finding avaliable colleges to the dislocated students)?
 * 2) (I'm assuming the answer is yes) How shall we go about adding those links? (ex: http://www.elearners.com/Katrina/index.asp) --tyehoward

Displaced students coming to Texas A&M
My husband and I live one mile from Texas A & M and would like to offer free room and board to two (same sex) non-smoking students. We live close to the A & M bus line, have an on-line computer availabe, as well. Our home is walking distance to a grocery store, about 10 restratrunts, Home Depot, shopping center, yet we live on a private road in a very quite neighborhood. We actually don't have extra parking, but arrangements could be made with other neighbors. There are only 32 homes on our road. We've had college students stay in our home before, although it's been many years. We're ready, call and come. If you're staying @ the Astrodomewhen you receive this message, our son Matthew Wood is pastoral counseling. He could finalized and make arrangements to get you to College Station. Hoping to meet some of you soon.

Merge from other lists
LiveJournal user alchemy_gryph is maintaining a list on the Academics Anonymous community, with comments coming in very quickly. A-M and N-Z

Here's alchemy_gryph's format for contributions:
 * 1) The university
 * 2) A link to the page with the university's statement on acceptance of "Katrina students." A link to the uni webpage often doesn't help very much if I'm left searching around for the official policy. Some unis don't yet have formal pages up on how they're planning to deal with things, so if you are acting on information received from an official email, please include that instead. I'd prefer to include links to policies because otherwise each school blurb becomes prohibitively lengthy.
 * 3) If you have the time for it, a copy-pasted blurb summarizing the uni's policy on accepting students. Good information includes how many they're taking, any important stipulations (housing/fees), if they're taking graduate/professional students or faculty, and access to libraries or labs.
 * 4) If you are an alumnus/a of the university, teach at it, or are otherwise affiliated with it or familiar with the area and can assist students looking to move.

I'm going to start on these, as well as put up a guideline/standard format for adding new schools.

A list sorted alphabetically reformatted from the lists linked below is at Colleges offering admission to displaced New Orleans students/Unsorted. Also, at User:Christopherlin/College temp, there are some that need more extensive cleaning up. --Christopherlin 08:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm starting to merge that intensive list on LJ into this post. Would it be appropriate for me to list the contact information of students/alum/staff who have listed their LJs as further contact information/help for navigating university bureaucracy? Or should I just stick to the official contact info? Yueni 19:59, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

comment
This is a remarkable piece of work: the sort of collaborative reporting that gives people the chance to do something useful in response to the news and Wikinews the place to come for new information, the purest sort of news. Well done to all those who've put in the effort. ClareWhite 14:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes. -Edbrown05 21:02, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Just an update to say that as far as merging Livejournal lists goes, I've merged mine, Minervacat's, and poisonwithjest's (http://www.naicu.edu/HEA/KatrinaEfforts.shtml) lists. I will start working on putting in the schools that are at the bottom of this discussion page -- thanks to whoever thought to list the schools alphabetically. Once those are crossed out, I have a few non-Livejournal lists to work off of. Hopefully soon, since a lot of schools are closing the window of time for displaced student applications :p ziasudra 11:20 p.m., EST, September 6, 2005.

== Job listing for student displaced by Hurricane Katrina's ==

I am an international strength and conditioning coach. I am looking for a student, displaced by Hurricane Katrina, to assist me with my current project. The successful candidate must have good research and writing skills and a good working knowledge of physiology and kinesiology. In addition, knowledge of snowboarding is a plus. Naturally, I would be willing to compensate the successful candidate for their time and effort. Please feel free to have any qualified applicants contact me at my e-mail address. If this email was addressed incorrectly please forward to the appropriate person. Thank you for your help. DKFit Dorota Konecky dkoneckyfitness@yahoo.com [[w:|]December 12, 2005

The following list was originally generated 00:19, 7 September 2005 (UTC) and re-checked against the LJ lists at 05:58, 9 September 2005 (UTC).

LJ contacts
Whoa, who started adding in all the LJ contacts from the list? I'm guessing Ziasudra, by sheer number. I imagine nobody will mind terribly. I'm just surprised that I hadn't noticed before now... --Christopherlin 06:39, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I did do a bunch today, but it was someone else who started the list. The instruction was to cross items off as they're added/merged, so I assume anyone can pick up halfway and run with it. If it's one thing I learned from this project, it's that there're a whole lot of colleges and universities in the U.S.! --Ziasudra 18:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, I meant the "Livejournal user ... is ... willing to help" ones. Was this you as well? --Christopherlin 01:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope, those aren't mine. Maybe someone who merged the academics_anon list before I started doing this did a copy and paste from that list? --Ziasudra 03:41, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Splitting the list
List's gotten way too long; time to start splitting. I've started Colleges offering admission to displaced New Orleans graduate students for grad and professional and faculty stuff, because it's the simplest split to make, but it's not going to have much impact. I would recommend that further splits bei either along strictly alphabetical (by state) lines, or else, as I mentioned to Christopherlin by "schools that will take all comers" vs. "schools that will accomodate local students"; the latter being more difficult for us, but more practical from an end-user perspective. --Amvhoward 20:30, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Good idea for splitting the list (to you or whoever did that). I like how the structure of by-state search is still there, but that one doesn't need to wait until the entire list loads up before looking for schools. Seeing how I'm not Web design-savvy at all, I will continue adding schools until I see a new classification system shows up. Sound good? --Ziasudra 23:59, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Graduate students
Amvhoward's comment below was originally posted the discussion for the graduate student article. --Christopherlin 00:55, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I've started splitting up Colleges offering admission to displaced New Orleans students to try and bring it back to a more reasonable size. This first split is the easiest to make, though also the least helpful. --Amvhoward 20:26, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Here's a list of faculty offering research/lab space found at ResCross.net. --Christopherlin 22:16, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Updating Enrollment Status
Can anyone propose a good way of tracking which schools are still accepting students, and which ones aren't? I thought about going through the list to put a Update Sept. ## (date): Application deadline passed. note in front of all the schools that have indicated "registration through" dates earlier than September 13. But that risks shutting out schools that have announced a deadline, but might still be taking applications in response to students' extenuating circumstances. Any ideas? --Ziasudra 04:38, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * A way to accommodate that might be to say something along the lines of: "Originally indicated application deadline has passed. Contact school for further details."
 * Since that's a bit wordy, it could be a general statement listed as a footnote, and the schools to which it applies could be marked with some appropriate symbol. --64.142.80.51 21:35, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Cascading protection
I recommend that this article be cascade protected, to protect the transcluded subpages.

And at the top of the article, the header about adding schools to this list should be removed. —Zachary talk 06:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Did human remains cause mad cow disease?

Looks good to me. Of course, a pic would always make it better. StuRat

 * Anybody got pictures of cows eating people? (You always want a picture...) -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 02:47, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

 * You're right, I do always want a pic. A pic of a cow would work, or a pic of a body being burnt on the Ganges river, or an computer generated image of the prion, perhaps.  Maps of the locations of the Ganges or the human cases in the UK would also work, there are many possibilities. StuRat 20:16, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Woman torches own house, attempting to kill spiders

September 2, 2005

A German woman has destroyed her family's home in an attempt to kill the spiders in its garage.

Zuelpich police report that when spraying them with hairspray failed to kill them, the spiders were then subjected to being burned with a cigarette lighter. However, they were probably still covered with hairspray, which set alight the floor of the garage. The fire then spread to a hedge, and then to the house, which the woman failed to save with a garden hose. It is reported to be uninhabitable, but the neighbouring semi-detached house was spared, suffering only broken windows and exterior charring.

The damage is estimated at around €100,000 (£70,000 or $125,000.)

A policeman stated, "The family have had to look for somewhere else to stay. The spiders are gone though - that problem was solved."

Talk:California's SB 1 Bill Originators' and Supporters Turn Against Bill

NPOV
Statements like "Washington and Oregon have seen the big picture" and "California is so close to following suit but alas, there is a fly in the ointment." are definitely supportive of a single point of view. If this page is intended for publication, it needs to be much more neutral, not to mention cleaned up. That said, it would be the start of a great op-ed piece if only Wikinews were the place for that sort of thing. :-) --Yarvin 22:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Wikinews needs an op-ed section. I would propose the following rules:
 * 1) articles must maintain a minimum length of 600 words at all times (prevents much garbage),
 * 2) articles must clearly identify their POV on their talk page (and via the minimum length),
 * 3) any change to the articles POV should require consensus of all significant contributors (so if you poorly describe your POV and someone changes it within your poorly established guidlines, you have to negotiate what the real guidlines should be, or fork the article).
 * Of course, op-ed pieces would not appear amongs the main news stoories, but it could make an interesting section. - Nyarlathotep 09:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Op Eds, or Editorials must be published under the user namespace (e.g. User:Nyarlathotep/Supporters Turn Against Bill), and use the   tag. -- User:NGerda 17:06, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you!! I din't know you could do that.  Can others edit them?  Do they ever show up on the front page someplace? If not, where? - Nyarlathotep 21:47, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I brought a proposal about this a while ago. Aparrently we can't link to them anywhere, but I might slide through an Editorial page that automatically links to all editorials.  But we need to create them first! ;)  -- User:NGerda 22:09, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I've got plenty of crazy ideas which I'm only half able to develop into stories, although that may be due to them being only halfway sound at times. :)
 * Why not just have a little box for the most recent/popular ones? Or at least a note saying "Check out our editorial pages!" when we get too many.  I think it would get a lot of people to write more stuff for wikinews if they knew they could sometimes write whatever they wanted.
 * What do you mean by not linking? You can presumably link them to a real article, just as you would anything else, no?  - Nyarlathotep 23:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Alright, I rewrote it to be more NPOV. Set it to publish if you concur. - Nyarlathotep 23:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Nice work. I fixed some spelling and grammar errors and revised the text a bit.  I'd publish it, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to (a) use a commentary as the only source (though here I think we have to) and (b) make use of information from the user comments on the article cited (the part about the grandfathering).  --Yarvin 03:08, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Your version looks good, I'll set it to publish. For such (not so) subtle legislative points, one often has only the text of the bill and the press releases of special interest groups.  You can cite the text of the bill if you like, but I'm not going to read it myself.  :)  - Nyarlathotep 03:19, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I would cite the bill, but given that it's been amended since Cinnamon wrote his article (the points he argues against seem to still be there, though I don't plan on reading the whole thing either), I'm not sure which to cite, so I guess I'll let someone better at citing than me do the citing. The bill is at this site.  --Yarvin 03:39, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Original reporting
Just a quick note about this article. It's not original reporting to gather from multiple sources -- we're supposed to do that for every article. Original reporting is when you have first-hand information that other sources don't, when you actually interview someone personally, or if you were there. Incidentally, a lot of people have the wrong notion about this. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 11:35, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Many nations offer material aid to hurricane victims; Bush refuses to accept

September 3, 2005

Over twenty five nations have offered aid in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. In particular, France has offered the use of its resources in the Caribbean sea, including 2 navy ships, 1 navy hospital, 8 planes, 600 tents, 1000 beds, and rescuers. President George W. Bush has refused such material aid to the hurricane's victims, although cash donations will be accepted. He explained his reasons to ABC News:

 * I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn't asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country's going to rise up and take care of it. You know, we would love help, but we're going to take care of our own business as well, and there's no doubt in my mind we'll succeed. And there's no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city.

A few of these nations, such as Venezuela and Cuba, are disliked by the administration, but the majority are considered allies of the United States. Venezuela's Citgo Petroleum Corp. pledged a $1 million donation for hurricane aid. Cuba refused U.S. aid following Hurricane Dennis. In order to reduce the side effects of hurricane Katrina, Japan, Venezuela, and most EU countries offer to provide oil reserves to the U.S.

Rapper Kanye West denounces Bush response, American media at hurricane relief telethon

September 3, 2005

Grammy award-winning rapper/producer Kanye West appeared on a live on-air telethon simulcast on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and PAX for Hurricane Katrina victims. Live on air, West said "George Bush doesn't care about black people," after saying "America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible." He also said "the Red Cross is doing everything they can," and stated that he was going to see what the maximum amount of money he can donate is. West criticized government authorities and stated that "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."

West first deviated from the script he and comedian Mike Myers were using by commenting on the recent uproar over differently captioned photos for black and white people in the aftermath of the hurricane: "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."

Though a several-second delay was in place, the comments were let through uncensored on the EST live broadcast as the person in charge "was instructed to listen for a curse word, and didn't realize he had gone off-script," according to an NBC spokeswoman.

NBC has released a statement after the broadcast: "Tonight's telecast was a live television event wrought with emotion. Kanye West departed from the scripted comments that were prepared for him, and his opinions in no way represent the views of the networks. It would be most unfortunate if the efforts of the artists who participated tonight and the generosity of millions of Americans who are helping those in need are overshadowed by one person's opinion."

The sponsor of the event, the American Red Cross, also issued a statement on the telethon, stating: "During the telecast, a controversial comment was made by one of the celebrities. We would like the American public to know that our support is unwavering, regardless of political circumstances. We are a neutral and impartial organization, and support disaster victims across the country regardless of race, class, color or creed."

Oil spill spotted along Mississippi River

September 4, 2005

In Louisiana, southeast of New Orleans, two storage tanks estimated to be filled with up to 160,000 barrels (6.7 million gallons) of oil are reported to be leaking into the Mississippi River. It was first noticed on September 1, 2005 by an aircraft flying overhead. Officials are not certain whether the tanks are the cause of the leak or how full the tanks are. Inspection of the storage tanks from the ground is impossible due to flooding in the area.

In comparison, the Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska leaked between 11 and 35 million gallons of oil.

Due to massive efforts directed toward search and rescue in New Orleans, the Coast Guard has not been able to look into the matter.

Talk:Oil spill spotted along Mississippi River

Photos from Louisiana DEQ
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality have several high quality aerial photos and a satellite image available on their website. I'm not sure if photos from DEQ would be classified such that they'd be considered public domain or not. I feel posting one image in the news article would probably fall under fair use, but not sure.
 * I can see why you'd believe that it'd be public domain. However, only federal government works (as opposed to state or local government works) are PD. You might be able to use the Mississippi photos, so make sure to check. Messedrocker 23:25, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

College article
Nice work on the College page. I had wanted to categorize them as you had but didn't have the time; you've done a great job keeping it maintained and in order. 65.188.253.141 09:57, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Nice work. I moved the "unsorted" subpage to your user namespace: User:Christopherlin/Colleges_offering_admission_to_displaced_New_Orleans_students/Unsorted, because anything in the main namespace not otherwise categorized shows up in the "developing stories" list.  (this was done to insure against articles getting "orphaned".) Kevin Baastalk 16:38, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the pointers. I've been on Wikipedia for about a year; this is my first foray into Wikinews. Any other advice for collaboration? Perhaps a call for help on the main -pedia namespace? --Christopherlin 20:42, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Splitting the Katrina page
Christopher-

The page is getting a bit overlarge, but I don't want to start splitting it without reaching some consensus on how. This is the scheme I've come up with. It creates a certain amount of redundancy, which will make updates a bit of a pain, but should optimize the accessability of information:

Main page: Splits into pages for undergrads, grad and professional students, and faculty. Of these, the undergraduate catagory is currently the only one large enough to require further splitting; I would suggest splitting it first into schools that will only accept local students, and schools that will take all comers. That way, students are more likely to be able to access information immediately relevant to them. If further splitting is required, then the best I can think of is to just divide the states in half alphabetically.

Any thoughts?

 * 102k... Wow. Originally, the point of this was to make it easier for people to add their own schools or any they come across, without having to go through a single LiveJournal user. That and the LJ size limits. The large list I've been merging in is now in 3 separate posts; I think the post size limit is ~60k. It could be ~30k, I don't know.
 * Merging already means finding the location of almost every school, as it's not included in the list I've been working from.
 * Local only vs. all comers is a good idea, as is undergrad/grad-professional. By state is just a stopgap measure. --Christopherlin 21:26, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I know; I'm on LJ :)
 * I've also been doing an exhaustive state-by-state check of schools to try to accelerate the data collection process. That should be complete by late tonight, if all goes well.  I'm going to propose we put off splitting until then, so we can minimize the amount of new information that has to be added after the split.  So, how do you want to go about coordinating this?--Amvhoward 21:34, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Blizzard Entertainment's victory over bnetd sealed in Appeals Court

September 3, 2005

has won a federal ruling in the U.S. Court of Appeals against the programmers of, a software package that emulates Blizzard's service. The court reaffirmed the original judgement, given in October, that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and click-through 's prohibited the reverse engineering of Blizzard's software in order to improve their playability. This was the first real test of the DMCA's applicability.

Bnetd, released under the, was created to enable users to play multiplayer games, bypassing Blizzard's freely accessible Battle.net servers, which have sometimes been unreliable or slow for gamers. The software also disabled the CD-Key check which is present in Battle.net to prevent users of pirated copies from being able to connect to Blizzard's servers. Offers by bnetd developers to incorporate Blizzard's CD-Check system were declined.

The CD-Check system itself has faced controversy, with some users complaining it borders on breaching privacy in the same way as and other malevolent software. This is not confined to Blizzard: controversy occurred when 's had a similar system which was later disabled due to complaints. Other games designed for network play are also known to have similar systems in place, the most prominent perhaps being 's system developed for.

Blizzard has produced many popular titles such as, and the  series.

Talk:Blizzard Entertainment's victory over bnetd sealed in Appeals Court

Sorry, didn't realise I hadn't logged in before I submitted. --Dorian Gray 10:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Victory sealed?
There is one thing I don't understand here. How is Blizzard's victory "sealed" when there is still the Supreme Court to appeal? --Deprifry 13:13, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * It is unlikely to go to the US Supreme Court unless there is found to be a Constitutional issue. I don't see one here. StuRat 14:00, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Victory?
How can Blizzard be victorous, if the program is already out there? It is like fighting p2p software.

Contest
It looked like a good entry, so I published it with a few fixes:

 * Added location categories.

 * Added authors to the sources, where specified.

 * Changed "cnetd" to "CnetD", the way it was shown in the sources.

 * Shortened title.

Also, be aware that only sources actually used when writing the article belong under the "Sources" section. If you want to list sites for additional info, create a "See also" section and put those there. One last note, the source that misspelled their own title is somewhat suspect for reliability, if they don't catch things like that (loose=not tight, lose = not win).

StuRat 13:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I had bnetd over BnetD because I read more sources with the former than the latter, and the Wikipedia page has the article under bnetd (well, Bnetd, but with the disclaimer). --Dorian Gray 14:16, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The official project name is bnetd. Andrevan 03:28, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Many nations offer material aid to hurricane victims; Bush refuses to accept

I took some stepts to make a viable article out of this, but I'll let someone else work on it for a while. - Nyarlathotep 16:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I've been away from the news. As an outsider on the Gulf States Katrina disaster now looking in here at Wikinews, I am astounded by the Bush response to international aid offers. The message: "Send cash." That's so uncreative. -Edbrown05 23:30, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ed: User:NGerda

Arrogance serves no purpose except to feed ones ego. Perhaps this was another missed opportunity at diplomacy. Accepting help might have been a step toward healing strained relationships. Who would have been the bigger person? tonyneri

 * I don't see anything in the article to substantiate the "Bush refuses to accept" part of the title; it may be true but there is no information, no quote, no factual assertion of any information at all of that claim. - McCart42 (talk) 13:27:37, 2005-09-07 (UTC)

 * that's because someone did an almost complete rewrite of the article today, which originally included some quote from bush about doing it without help. im not much in the know about the wikinews rules, but that seems kinda odd to me. the whole system of keep updating old news with new facts seems rather typical to me, correcting something perhaps. but beyond that i don't think it's needed, start a new article. Boneyard 13:48, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd like to add my voice to the noise. Lack of proof of the "Bush refuses to accept" statement has made this a low quality article.  Also, countries have donated "helos" and "MREs".  Maybe the first are helicopters?  No idea what MREs are. 159.134.79.27 13:59, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * MREs are "Means Ready to Eat". Check on Wikipedia, I know there's a page on them there. Thanx 69.142.2.68 14:11, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've reverted that edit because it completely changes the scope of the article. The story is four days old, the position of the government has obviously changed now. The informations provided in the edit justify a new story IMO. --Deprifry 14:06, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Correction. That edit is actually a 1:1 copy of a State Department press release. While it is not a copyvio since their works are in the public domain it is clearly not what we should be aiming for. --Deprifry 14:29, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:France and Germany offers help to US government

"delete" but rename the other article to this title. This is a better title than the other one, we should delete one article, give the other this title, and talk about Germany. We should also talk about how the aid was initially refused by Washington. Nyarlathotep 13:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
