Selective secure access link
editprotected I suggest that the recently added "secure access" link be wrapped in code that will suppress it when the page is already being viewed from the secure server. The wrapping code would be

so that — including a tricky no-break space — the code of that entire line of the template would look like

 * This looks like as good a place as any to bring this up: correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this "secure access" link is now unnecessary, since I believe that Wikimedia has made all sites secure. It also goes right back to the same main page. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 06:53, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Print edition

Pumpkin in the main page
Wrong place, we're supposed to be a serious news site, and imo, that just doesn't fit. Also, half way through halloween is too late to do that, it should have been put there earlier if it's going there at all. Put it somewhere a little less prominent next time please. BarkingFish (talk) 21:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Note this isn't the first time we've done. Shakataganai did this for several other holidays last year. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:15, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't fit in with the objectives and aims of the site in my opinion, and it was put there halfway through the damn day. It needs to go up so its there all day, or not at all (and preferably, the last one should apply.) BarkingFish (talk) 22:39, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi could you replace

Print edition and Audio Wikinews (2017)
Print edition is revived this year. Therefore, it should be seen in the main page. I don't know what to do with Audio Wikinews. It's no longer active at the moment since 2013. If it can't be replaced, so be it. Meanwhile, the Print Edition should be shown. --George Ho (talk) 02:02, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Ah... found the diff of the removal. --George Ho (talk) 02:03, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

And also found old discussion. --George Ho (talk) 02:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * THough print edition is revived, only three were published till now. I think we should not hurry to add the link. Besides, there is no uniformity in the design. I forgot to justify the text alignment in the first two. I would really appreciate feedback by other editors about it. Till then, we should not hurry. Last year, I started making quiz, but it did not work in the long run. Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  04:41, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Removed the request banner for now. --George Ho (talk) 04:46, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Modernizing the header
edit protected The layout of the header has not been changed since 2009, even with link changes. It looks more like 2009, if not 2005. The header needs to be more visible and more attractive for desktop users. --George Ho (talk) 17:26, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The header is supposed to be small; to take up little space. It's neat and simple and takes up little space, though it looks fairly prominent to me.  Making it "more visible" sounds undesirable, but it's hard to be sure because it's not clear what you mean.  You haven't made any specific suggestion for how to change it, so there is no edit to make and also no way to form a definite opinion on whether what you want to do would be a good idea.  --Pi zero (talk) 20:09, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * All right, Pi zero. I'll be more specific. The horizontal outlook of the right side looks unorganized and almost passable. How about vertical layout and dividing the links into columns? Also, when at the Wikinews Main Page, the left side is bolded, while the template at the template page is mostly un-bolded. Also, the background looks... bland(?) or dull, though the right side of the background looks cool. How about trimming out the left side of the background and make the left side white or grey or something? --George Ho (talk) 23:28, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, it looks as if the background is done with CSS, so that would be somewhere else. We could work on figuring out where.  Experimenting with changing the size of my browser window, the background appears to be an image (is that part of the Wikinews logo?) that takes up less than the entire width of my laptop screen, and is right-justified.  As I reduce the window width, the background pattern moves left, shrinking the uniform space on the left, until the left side of the actual background image hits the left margin, then the image stops shifting left and, making the window still narrower, the right side of the image starts to disappear.  Using the Wikinews logo for that, if I'm right that it's doing so, seems kind of clever and I wonder if some small tweak in how it's done might have a good effect.  We'd need to start by finding the right CSS; it can probably be located by a string search for the appropriate labels in MediaWiki: space. Since this header needs to take up as little horizontal space as possible, I don't really picture what you have in mind when you speak of columns.  Can you provide some sort of mock-up to illustrate it (ASCII art, maybe?)  --Pi zero (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm... can you extend the height, Pi zero? That makes the banner taller. As for columns, here you go:

 * Example 1
 * Example 2
 * Example 3
 * Example 4
 * Example 5
 * Example 6
 * Example 7
 * Example 8
 * Example 9
 * }
 * Thoughts? --George Ho (talk) 03:03, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * What I'm wondering is, just what information goes where. It seems to me the header needs to be as short, vertically, as can be arranged; the actual content is the important thing above the fold on the main page, and the header provides just a few things without keeping us from getting very quickly to the substance. As it is, there are three lines of text on the right; the first is the date and time, the second has five items separated by bullets, the third has four items separated by bullets.  Tbh, I like the compactness, hence my difficulty.  If something hasn't changed in years, that may be partly because it's hard to improve on.  Which doesn't mean there mightn't be a way, of course; but, just saying, no surprise if it's not easy. Just brainstorming, on my laptop screen there would be room to put the time and date in the middle of the header, leaving three lines over at the right.  It might feel crowded, whereas the existing header is, now that I think of it, possibly deliberately designed to have open space.  --Pi zero (talk) 04:14, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Here's my proposal, though it's a working draft:

A) we should not remove Audio Wikinews, b) we can use FOSS like MaryTTS if recording your own voice is not possible C) if we have to redesign the Main Page, first, we need to see how it looks like.I wanted to modify the design, but I did not want to do that in hurry. If you have any idea, use the sandbox, and show us.

Besides, I think we should have at least two designs, one which shows articles in the form of "pins" on Pinterest (something similar to Wikidata) when many articles are published on Wikinews (~ > 2 each day, perhaps) and other when output is less. acagastya 08:31, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not a compulsion to change the design just because it was not updates for a cery long time. By the way, that comment was for entire main page redesign. And, we should work on make the main page load faster. (And about the header, I think Spanish Wikinews' header is pretty good.) acagastya 09:00, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I made the comment at Talk:Main Page. --George Ho (talk) 12:55, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess the header is not the only item that needs redesigning. To make the header more efficient, the Wikinews Main Page must be first redesigned. Let's do the header later after redesigning the Main Page, i.e. the Main Page the more important priority and the header secondary. --George Ho (talk) 13:15, 13 May 2017 (UTC); see below. 18:36, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * For perspective, I mention that, every few years, one or another Wikinewsie has gotten interested in redesigning the main page. However, during my time here none of these have gotten all the way to the stage of being implemented.  I don't mean to suggest that things can't be improved, but there isn't a major problem and one must suspect the existing arrangement may have some advantages that could be easily overlooked, so it makes sense one would proceed cautiously.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:43, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I must say, mobile site looks good. But at times when many articles are published, we can slightly improve it. But it is really good at the moment. acagastya 13:52, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redesigning the Main Page is harder than I thought, especially when the mobile version would be affected. Therefore, we can revisit it later. Let's get back to the header instead. If the background is not to be changed, maybe we can revisit it later. However, the horizontal alignments look... Well, I didn't notice "Newsroom" at the banner. Rather I ignored the banner very much and went to the left panel instead. I often go to "Newsroom" to see drafts, including ones ready for review. If we can't do the vertical or column, how about rearranging the links from most important to least important instead? Like this:
 * Newsroom • Best of Wikinews • Mission statement • Report breaking news
 * Donate • Copy us • Social networking • Chat • Audio Wikinews
 * I decided to retain the Audio Wikinews for now if it can't be removed. If doing columns is still possible, here is another set of my proposed columns:

 * Newsroom
 * Best of Wikinews
 * Report breaking news
 * Mission statement
 * Donate
 * Copy us
 * Social networking
 * Chat
 * Audio Wikinews
 * }
 * --George Ho (talk) 18:36, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * These are interesting thoughts. I hope to try my hand at a mock-up of some such thing (perhaps later today?  we'll see). You're quite right that the Newsroom is meant to be one of the central pages of the project; one of the pages that one might plausibly use as a default page for Wikinews activity, though I generally use Special:RecentChanges for that purpose.  (The overhaul of the Archives splash page is meant to make that suitable as another central page, so that once deployed one might well want to add it too to the header.)  --Pi zero (talk) 19:38, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Hockey player Georges Laraque joins Green Party of Canada

February 17, 2010

Former Montreal Canadiens hockey player Georges Laraque has joined the Green Party of Canada, according to the party and The Canadian Press. The player will be filling an undefined role for the time being, but Laraque isn't ruling out running in the next federal elections.

"I'm ready to do whatever I can to help," Laraque said Saturday in Montreal.

"We're destroying the environment now and we have to make a change. To make a change you need public personalities to talk about it, to educate people. And I'm going to be one of them."

"The Green Party has been active in Parliament in Europe and Australia for many years, and it has been to their benefit. It is high time for Canada to build a strong Green Party and to elect MPs who will speak out for a modern, sustainable and just vision of our development and choices," said Jacques Rivard, Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Canada.

Laraque has been a long time vegan, meaning he eats no meat or other products derived from animals, like milk and cheese; and an animal rights activist. Last month he was released by the Canadiens, popularly known as the Habs, after scoring only one goal.

Twelve-year-old schoolboy stabbed, dies in Brisbane, Australia

February 15, 2010

A twelve-year-old pupil at a private all boy's school on Brisbane's north side has died in the Royal Children's Hospital this morning after being stabbed in the chest with a knife by a thirteen-year-old fellow student.

St Patrick's College, a Catholic school with around 1,100 students, by The Christian Brothers in the bayside suburb of Shorncliffe, Queensland, went into lockdown at around 8.15am AEST for three hours; they have since assured parents their sons are safe to remain at the school until the usual time. In a prepared statement the school headmaster, Dr Michael Carroll, said, "I have informed students and staff of this tragedy and counselling services are available to all students and staff. While I'm unable to discuss the details of how the injury was sustained, I can confirm that it did involve another student from the college and that other student is now assisting police with their inquiries."

The accused student was found near the school with a minor self-inflicted neck wound. There were no other people injured. Subsequent reports indicate he has been charged with murder.

User talk:Ou42467~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 Ou42467. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ou42467~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)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Train collision kills at least eighteen near Brussels, Belgium

February 15, 2010

Belgian authorities have confirmed that at least eighteen people died in a head-on collision between two passenger trains in the suburbs of Brussels. Other reports suggest that the death toll could be as high as 25. More than 125 passengers are reported injured, 11 of them "very seriously". Rescuers were still trying to free bodies from the wreckage of the trains more than eight hours after the crash, which occurred in snowy conditions at 08:28 local time (0728 UTC) near the station of Buizingen in the municipality of Halle, about 15 kilometres southwest of the Belgian capital.

One of the trains involved was travelling from Quiévrain to Liège, while the other was travelling from Leuven to Braine-le-Comte. The collision saw the first two carriages of one train being forced upwards into the air over the first carriage of the second train. Eyewitnesses described the collision as "brutal", with passengers being thrown "violently" around the carriages. Television footage showed the two smashed locomotives forced up in the air, with passenger cars strewn over a wide area and dazed survivors wandering at the crash site. Train speed at the time of the crash was not immediately known. There are reports that one of the trains ran a stop signal.

Initial reports suggest that the Leuven–Braine-le-Comte train was on the wrong line. It is not known if the train went through a red signal or if there was a problem with the signalling. A "well informed source" quoted by French-language daily Le Soir suggested that there might have been an electrical failure in the signalling system.

The collision occurred on one of the main access lines to Brussels-South station, about 14 kilometres (9 miles) from the Belgian capital. It caused "major damage" to overhead power cables, especially on the Brussels–Mons and Brussels–Tournai lines, and high speed rail services between Brussels and France and the UK have been suspended. Thalys services were temporarily halted due to the accident, with four of its trains in the region being diverted to alternative stations. Thalys services between Brussels and Cologne have now resumed, but services to Amsterdam and Paris are still suspended.

One passenger on board, Christian Wampach, described conditions on board the train, "It was a nightmare. We were thrown about for about 15 seconds. There were a number of people injured in my car but I think all the dead were in the first car." Wampach was in the third car.

Another passenger, Patricia Lallemand, said, "When we came out we saw dead bodies lying next to the tracks, some mutilated."

Search for child abductor continues in Australia

February 16, 2010

New South Wales Police are continuing the search for the man who abducted a six year old girl for a short period of time from the front yard of her Mount Austin home in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia on Sunday morning.

The girl was playing in her front yard, when abducted by a man at approximately 11:30am (AEDT) on Sunday. She tried to cling to a tree but the man overpowered her, placing her under his arm and then into the rear of his cab. The girl's screams alerted her mother and neighbours, with her mother getting a hold of the rear tray of the Toyota Hilux and being dragged along the road before losing her grip.

It is believed a witness followed the vehicle for a short distance until losing sight of it.

The abductor returned the girl to a nearby street approximately 90 minutes after the abduction.

Superintendent Rod Smith told the media that the girl was "physically unharmed" but undergoing a "medical examination" with the family of the girl "suffering severe shock".

The man is described to be in his 40s with a solid build and receding light hair, driving a late model Toyota Hilux, white in colour with silver standard wheels and a yellow barrel in the tray. The car is believed to have plates starting with BD or DB.

Death toll
The death toll is incorrect if one goes by official figures. as of 14:51 CET (1351 UTC) the official figure is 12 (although expected to rise in the next few hours). Physchim62 (talk) 14:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The Brussels public prosecutor, Jos Colpin, has put the number of dead at "between ten and twenty", according to Le Soir. Physchim62 (talk) 14:42, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Only 10 confirmed per Reuters updated 5 minutes ago. "At least 20" is very misleading! --65.51.209.124 (talk) 14:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

There are lots of amateur photos of the collision on Flickr, but none of them (as far as I found) have been released cc-by. We ought to talk to these people and get them to release them. --SVTCobra 02:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I have made a request to have a detailed computer-generated image drawn up to go with my ongoing Lockerbie investigation, when it finally arrives. The guy I have asked is very talented; I've seen people here comment they only realised it wasn't a real plane when they read the caption that went with the image. It's a difficult and complicated job, so don't hold your breath, but I hope to be able to really demonstrate the violence with which these lives were taken. Everyone knows about the burning wreckage hitting buildings but few folk realise that the 259 on board were mostly not killed instantly, and that the breakup sequence itself was rather horrific. See here. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 00:06, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * ooooh! Want! Want! Want! Does he do video too? --Brian McNeil / talk 00:13, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Unfortunatly, I don't think so. Not that I have seen, anyway. I will, of course, call upon the crash report to call public attention to exactly how the aircraft broke apart and I hope that the image will help people to be able to picture it in their heads. I have some idea how to make people not just look at it but see things they never thought about there. Also, I should point out that this is something other news media seem not to have. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 00:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

 * To see some examples of what kind of results you can expect, see Cyprus to charge five over 2005 plane crash that killed 121 and Final report blames instrument failure for Adam Air Flight 574 disaster. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 01:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * He has agreed to do it. File:Chinaair006.png shows what he has achieved with a complex sequence before, it transpires; he went through it bit by bit and chose the best picture. Of course, Lockerbie is different as it broke apart/shredded real quick, but he seems confident enough. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:26, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks great, i want more. :-b Tempodivalse [talk]  03:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Heads-up: I was asked about having people in the image, or if that was too offensive. Per all my arguments in the recent censorship debate, I've opted for people. No gore, but still not pleasant. Be ready for some upset when this comes out. Also, we don't have a bright explosion; Anyeverybody and I have been researching and have come to the conclusion Semtex is pretty much instantaneous and then gone - no fire bursting out the side. Instead, however, we will bring image two forward a bit to show the nearest engine flaming as debris enters instead of the moment of detonation. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:54, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If I'm going to animate these as a GIF then I'll need as accurate an interval between images as possible. I've done GIFs before a long time ago and only recall fixed intervals between all frames; this means I might need to repeat an image as a "filler" frame if frame1-frame2 is 1 second and fraim2-frame3 is 2 seconds, and so on. Does anyone know what a Free, Commons and widely-browser supported file format would be to use in preference to GIF? --Brian McNeil / talk 03:55, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Theora is really the only other option. apng is not widely enough supported as of yet. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:57, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

 * There really isn't much hope of animating these together in that fashion. The first three frames are quite close together, but then there are long gaps between frames 3 & 4 and 4 & 5. From explosion to impact was around forty seconds; we end seventeen seconds before the wing section impacts. However, I know Anyeverybody made it by roughly animating the whole sequence then finishing a selection of frames to a higher standard, so you could always seek more frames. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikimania 2010 - Gdansk
It is, to put it bluntly, time to get our shit together on this.

Who is within reasonable travelling distance, and has a credible record of contributions?

What would be a good topic for a speech/presentation on Wikinews, at Wikimania?

How can we cooperate with other language editions - such as Polish Wikinews (which will have attendees)?

Who could, realistically, make full use of press credentials for Wikimania?

I did it in 2008, and got a scholarship to do so. I am less-sure of being able to wangle a scholarship again, or of actually being able to get the time off work. If I can get there, I will do so, but I want a substantial Wikinews presence; not just Craig Spurrier who's probably less than a dozen edits in the last year.

So, what are we going to do about "invading Poland"? --Brian McNeil / talk 19:36, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, south-west England is a bit far from Poland to justify; if only Oxford had won! Would be more than happy to help sort out presentations etc., will think of some topics now.  Agree with Brian that we want to get at least one proper person there.     Tris   20:03, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Check flights from a reasonably convenient airport. If you qualify for a scholarship you can expect about £300 in funding; the accommodation will be cheap as hell (and commensurately basic). That's *without* mentioning that the beer in Poland will be much, much better than I got in Alexandria. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:11, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * If I can get ahold of a scholarship this may be a possibility; assuming my long-running Lockerbie investigation was completed that might be something a presentation could be hung off: Wikinews at the centre of real, hard journalism. The key word is may. I'm quite capable of getting information in for WN coverage, but should point out much of what's going on will be technical and much would likely sail over my head. I also have the advantage of having visited Gdansk previously, and spent several weeks in Poland. I know how to order a beer in the local language.

 * The key issue for me is transport. I'd be going from Scotland; Edinburgh is close. That's a long way for Wikimania. Previously we flew from Glasgow with Wizz (think Easyjet with pink planes) - I don't much fancy trying to get there for the cheap Polish airline, so it'd have to be Edinburgh.

 * Collaboration might be hard. I speak some very poor conversational German (plus some less polite expressions); this will get me by with Poles, but is no use for meaningful discussion with people who aren't good with English. While I suspect 'most anyone seriously interested in Wikimania will be English fluent, it may still be a stumbling block generally trying to get the various editions to communicate with each other.

 * Topic-wise, one interesting thing might be to look at how well FlaggedRevs has served WN, to the point that, along with setting some high standards of ourselves, we have turned into a reliable, reputable source. Try and get other wikis thinking on that with the semi-subliminal message of 'look what WN has achieved'. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 20:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Edit after Brian caused a conflict: I can confirm that the accomodation costs nothing in Poland - I already know where I'd stay if I went - and the beer is equally cheap and very good. Pick local beers; that also gains you street-cred with the locals, and they're pretty damn nice. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 20:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

From attending Alexandria, the Wikimedians in attendance will all have a mid-to-high school level of English as minimum. That's not something to worry about.Outwith the conference you may have a few difficulties, just make sure you're clued on any local legal risks (this can be trivial things like risking arrest for jaywalking).

For presentations I've three possible topics that could be done, I believe, quite well.
 * 1) Original Reporting
 * Earliest OR
 * Interviews
 * Investigative journalism
 * Ultra-local reporting
 * 1) The 2010 writing contest
 * Likely over-ambitious setup
 * More widely promoted than prior competitions
 * Hit record number of articles on first day
 * 1) Flagged Revisions, for Google News and credibility
 * Google's editorial requirements
 * Listed as a news source, not a blog
 * The technical wizardry to simplify reviewing
 * Integrated RSS, Facebook, and twitter publication
 * The future - Google News Site Map
 * General points on English Wikinews being a technical testing ground

Has anyone else any good suggestions, or feedback on the above? At the moment the contest one is up-in-the air. Original Reporting would tie in brilliantly with BloodRedSandman's efforts on Lockerbie. Flagged Revisions has, on the whole, improved quality of output at some expense to quantity. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:01, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I will probably be at Gdansk. I have no plans to present on anything this year, though I will be glad to assist with a presentation or general coverage of Wikimania. As Brian notes, I am largely inactive (though I made quite a few more then a dozen edits last year :)) I graduate from my MA program in May, so I expect to become active again after that. --Cspurrier (talk) 22:29, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * CSpurrier: congrats on your MA. Brianmc: where is this integrated RSS you speak of? Some of the google news stuff might be interesting, especially if French gets into google news before wikimania + considering all the stuff at wikipedia with flagged protection (is that what they're calling it now?), flagged revisions might be a general topic of interest.

Wikinews v. Wikipedia
See. Actually a bit interesting. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  04:15, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Very interesting, food for thought.    Tris   08:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia, again
See another attempt at getting appropriate template changes through. I've left a note for Jimmy Wales on his Facebook page; he's indicated off-wiki he's generally in favour of these changes but would not impose them on Wikipedia.

Hopefully, he'll give an affirmative comment and help move this closer to actually happening. --Brian McNeil / talk 03:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Ehh, I doubt anything will happen (but I'm a pessimist :-b). Last time, IIRC, the proposal (and all similar proposals to highlight the w:WP:NOTNEWS policy and direct people to Wikinews) went down in flames. Jimbo's opinion doesn't seem to carry a lot of weight anymore at WP, I've noticed. Still worth a shot though ... *crosses fingers* Tempodivalse [talk]  03:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You may be thinking of when I first tried, and got Wikinewsies who're admins "in the other place" to implement the changes. They went a bit nuts when it got slapped on Ted Kennedy's article. I took the Wikinews logo out all the template proposals and really tried to make it discreet; if that's not enough, I don't know. Tactical nukes maybe? --Brian McNeil / talk 04:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've commented on the WP water cooler, for what it's worth, with a few suggestions; otherwise, I think this should be implemented and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten shot down ... yet. Does Jimbo have anything to say on this? Tempodivalse [talk]  14:52, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well jimbo's opinion is influential, in the end it is the Wikipedia community's project. If their community wants it (or at least doesn't disagree with it) it'll happen, if they don't like the idea, it won't happen. There's nothing we can really do beyond making the suggestion. Its not our decision. Bawolff ☺☻ 15:08, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I would note that one of the nay-sayers In The Other Place has taken it upon themselves to highlight this particular discussion and use such as a justification to imply that votes from those active on Wikinews, or Wikimedians with a wider interest in Foundation projects, be discounted due to their policy on canvassing.
 * As a consequence of this I would stress to any Wikinewsies contemplating adding their voice to the discussion on Wikipedia, have some edit history on Wikipedia and give considered and thought-out reasons should you choose to support this proposal.
 * Wikinews was set up to be a complementary project to Wikipedia and the seemingly selfish nature of some of the oppose votes concerns me. It is quite unlikely that what is generally referred to as Wikipedia's position in the list of most popular websites would in any way be jeopardised by the proposed changes to templates. The reality is that the ranking, as given by ComScore, is based on all Wikimedia Foundation websites – not just Wikipedia. To move from fifth to fourth place in ranking is far more achievable through increasing the visibility and readership of sisterprojects – not by considering Wikipedia the only Internet resource anyone will ever need.
 * As an example of where the difference between the projects sees Wikinews as a considerably more informative resource than Wikipedia I would point to my own not-inconsiderable contributions mentioning former, and fugitive, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. This is where Wikinews has the potential to excel; in the face of more conventional news organisations such as the New York Times and Washington Post locking their archives away behind paywalls, a Freely licensed news resource that archives all published articles becomes a more valuable and useful resource. This is in stark contrast to constant revision on Wikipedia where historical details may, in ten or more years, only be locatable via WikiArcheology into edit histories that may by that time be many thousands of revisions long. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Licenses
Reading a recent change Brian made on the Wikinews for Wikipedians; what is the difference between our license and Wikipedia's license? What is it that makes transfer only allowed one way?   Tris   15:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ours is CC-BY, theirs is CC-BY-SA. That means that their content has to be licensed as CC-BY-SA, while ours can be re-licensed however you like as long as you attribute us. Therefore, they can use our content but we can't use theirs (unless we add some kind of message saying that the content is CC-BY-SA and link to the relevant Wikipedia page). Δεν δοδγε  τ\c 16:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Aha, I can see why we wouldn't want to change, even if it was useful. Shame. Thanks Dendodge.      Tris   16:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * See Wikinews/License for some background on the choice. At the time we choose the license, wikipedia use using the GFDL, which was more restrictive and "inapropriate" in many people's (or at least my) mind for wikinews. Bawolff ☺☻ 18:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * So the only difference is that people who use our news can relicense it under whatever license they want? What would the objections be to switching to the pedia's way?      Tris   18:08, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * We're more Free. Our mission is to be provide Free content. The fact that someone else screwed it up for their project should be of no consequence to our efforts to reach our own decision. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 18:20, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That really depends on your definition of Free. We're Free in a BSD-type-of-freedom. Wikipedia is free in a GPL-type-of-freedom. There are large debates over which is more free. I think cc-by-sa is totally apropriate for a project like wikipedia with long lived content that gets changed with time. I think for our content where we want to be a "Free associated press" type thing, cc-by is more apropriate. 18:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Call for proposals for Wikimedia UK initiatives
Hi all. The Wikimedia UK board has been putting together a budget for the next year (You can see this, and help with its development, here) and we have some money left over. We are looking for proposals for projects/iniatives with budget requirements in the range of £100-£3000 (GBP). These projects can be either online or offline, but they should be primarily focused on the UK and they must further the objects of Wikimedia UK (broadly, to collate/develop/spread freely licensed material).

The deadline for proposals is the end of this month (i.e. 0:00 UTC on 1 March 2010). You can find more details of the requirements, and how to submit proposals, on our blog. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 23:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Mark Thomas on BBC Radio 4
This should be available globally.

I think it would be extremely good if as many Wikinewsies as possible listened in the next week while it is still available. That's just for the section on self regulation and Mark's comments on the UK's Press Complaints Commission. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Fundraiser
Guess what? Everyone's fave subject is on the agenda again. A small discussion has begun at Wikipedia, which should really be taken elsewhere as being of cross-project interest. For now, please go to w:Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:22, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh great. The fundraiser is *still* being flogged several months after it was officially ended. :-b I didn't donate, so I haven't received anything, but isn't very good from the looks of it. Rand's remark wasn't really convincing either ... Tempodivalse [talk]  23:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Print edition puzzles
I worked it out with yoogi.com so that we can get daily syndicated puzzles for the print edition. If you see File:22February2010.pdf, the you'll notice a sudoku puzzle on it. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  00:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...I'm not that keen on the idea to be honest. We're not trying to copy newspapers and it definitely should not be the first thing on the whole PE.     Tris   16:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for restarting the print edition. I know how much work it can be to maintain it, so its great to have someone new doing it. While I like the idea of including puzzles, I am not very happy with the terms these are under. The Print Edition should be free content (or at-least as free as Wikinews with fairuse), deals like this for nonfree content create messy problems for the distribution of the print edition. I also would rather it not be on the front page, since the print edition is designed to showcase our work, this is giving up a valuable space that could be better used to show off Wikinews. --Cspurrier (talk) 22:11, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree with Craig; no puzzle on the front page, and if you must have one do something like a GPL-software-generated sudoku. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:31, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I trying to work things out for now until I can find a decent sudoku software. I have a crossword software (not freely licensed, but lets me license it freely as I wish, and again until I find a GPL-licensed one). I have already decide to stick puzzle in the back of the Print Ed., after the articles and before the Picture of the Day. I scrapped Wikipedia's featured article and current event. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  23:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

And out of curiosity, does anyone know of freely licensed Sudoku software of a source to obtain Sudoku/Crossword puzzles freely. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  05:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * http://freshmeat.net/search?q=sudoku&submit=Search there is several there. It should be noted, I am told that computer-generated cross words are of inferior quality to hand crafted one . (but computer generated is better then no crossword). Great work with the print edition btw. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:04, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I see this. I can't really try it until I get to my own computer. It seems to fit my purposes well. Thanks, Mike  moral  ♪♫  20:32, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Mike, that looks interesting. Right now I'm battling with how to make a live USB stick booting Ubuntu. Shouldn't, once I crack that, be a problem to have a how-to on doing it yourself and adding this tool. I'll add Microsoft Coffee to the how-to as well – if someone points me at a genuine and non-trojaned version ;-) --Brian McNeil / talk 21:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, WRT to Tris' comment up a ways, I don't see what's wrong with trying to mimic newspapers in a few areas, as long as we keep strictly to our policies. We already do the same with quizzes; why not extend it to other puzzles? I like them; imho they make a nice/interesting addition to the print edition. I'm actually thinking perhaps we should make an online puzzle version (updated weekly?) for people to print out or something. IIRC, a couple years back we actually did make some puzzles, especially mini-crosswords, but that never really got off the ground ... Tempodivalse [talk]  22:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you're referring to Crossword poll + Crosswords/. We stopped doing crosswords as the main contributor doing them left. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:59, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, CGorman retired a few years back ... should we perhaps consider reinstating crosswords or something similar? Tempodivalse [talk]  23:03, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I was more referring to user:Dysprosia. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

My crossword program, EclipseCrossword, allows export in the Windows meta file and EPS formats and Java and JavaScript. WMF is annoying file type to work with tho. I an always upload my crosswords to Commons or locally. I need to check to see if I'm allowed to remove the mini logo on the generated puzzles. Now I need to work with the PythonSudoku for a bit untill I feel comfortable enough to add them to the print ed. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  23:48, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * WMF and EPF are both supposed to be very easy to convert to svg. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * WMF seems to hate me a lot. :p. I will probably upload png or svg depending on which is easiest. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  00:06, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles are on sale as printed books for 50 dollars in Amazon.com with no prior warning
This is the kind of worst case scenario for wikipedia, where people are deprived from their hard earned money with false advertising.
 * Wikipedia articles are on sale as printed books for 50 dollars in Amazon.com with no warning in amazon yet as printed in 4th page of the "book" after you  buy it
 * We require a huge task force that can put a warning to thousands of similar titles in Amazon.com as customer review so that people might be warned about this issue. Read Publishing  House for details.
 * Not sure right place to post, but feel free to move or duplicate the thread elsewhere. Kasaalan (talk) 04:45, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This is not the right place. I don't even understand what you are talking about to direct you to the right place. Whats the issue. People are allowed to sell printed wikipedia articles ($50 seems a bit high though, but if they can sell it for that, thats their right). Bawolff ☺☻ 04:57, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant per WN:NOT, and the fact that the WP license allows what you're whingeing about. --Brian McNeil / talk 06:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Earthquakes
I was looking at Category:Weather and I noticed earthquake articles. Earthquakes aren't weather but rather a geological occurrence caused by tectonic plate or whatever the technical definition is. Since most of the articles are archived I was wondering if a admin would be willing to remove the cat and if necessary replace it with Category:Earthquakes. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  23:07, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

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

I had no idea that the PIN was in the chip. Talk about broken security. That should always have been verified on the bank's servers and nowhere else.

User talk:Bill777~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 Bill777. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bill777~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 23:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Joint US-Pakistan operation captures top Taliban commander

February 18, 2010 According to reports, a joint covert operation by United States and Pakistan forces have captured the Taliban's top military commander,. Baradar was captured seven to nine days ago according to officials.

Officials describe Baradar as second in influence only to the Taliban's founder, Mullah. They say he is the most important Taliban figure detained since the war in Afghanistan started in late 2001.

The Taliban in Afghanistan deny Baradar has been captured, calling the report a rumor and a diversion. A spokeperson for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid said, "This is just rumor spread by foreigners to divert attention from the Marja offensive." Adding, "They are facing big problems in . In reality there is nothing regarding Baradar’s arrest. He is safe and free and he is in Afghanistan."

Pakistani (ISI) and American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents say they are interrogating Baradar, who was in charge of the Taliban's day-to-day military operations and its governing political council.

Speaking in Islamabad, Pakistani Interior Minister would not confirm the report of Baradar's arrest.

But he said that since the U.S.-led coalition in southern Afghanistan several days ago, Pakistan has arrested suspected militants who have fled across the border.

"There are a number of arrests of people who were running away from Afghanistan and coming to Pakistan. And we are very much alert. The day we get any information [of] who are they, we will tell the people of Pakistan," said Malik.

He also said that it is true the United States and Pakistan share intelligence information. However, he stressed that Pakistan is a sovereign nation and does not allow foreign forces to take part in anti-militancy raids within its borders.

Officials say his capture suggests a new level of cooperation between Pakistani and American intelligence agencies. In the past, U.S. officials have accused Pakistan's intelligence agencies of maintaining ties with the Afghan Taliban leadership and being reluctant to pursue them in sanctuaries in Pakistan. Pakistani officials have denied the claim.

The New York Times first reported Baradar's capture late Monday. The paper says it learned of the operation last week, but delayed reporting it at the request of White House officials, who argued that making it public would compromise the effort to gather intelligence.

UK inflation rate increases to 3.5%

February 17, 2010

According to an announcement made by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Tuesday, the inflation rate of the United Kingdom measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 3.5% in January 2010, an increase of 0.6% from December 2009. For the UK, this is the second largest month-on-month inflation rate increase on record. The inflation rate for the country has also now reached its highest level since November 2008.

The causes of this inflation rise include a 70% rise in oil prices, and value added tax recently being increased to 17.5%. The headline inflation rate of the Retail Prices Index (RPI) also increased from 2.4% for the month of December 2009 to 3.7% for the month of January 2010. Meanwhile, the underlying rate of RPI increased from 3.8% to 4.6% over the same period.

The British Government has an inflation target of 2%, which was surpassed by more than 1%. For this reason, Mervyn King, who is the Governor of the Bank of England has written a required explanatory letter to Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling. In the letter, King wrote: "Although it is likely to remain high over the next few months, inflation is more likely than not to fall back to the target in the second half of this year."

Alistair Darling then wrote a letter in response, which said that the future expectations of the inflation was "subject to some uncertainty" as countries around the world continue to recover from what he called the "deepest downturn in modern times".
