User:SoLando

Hey all,

Well, I'm Joel. I regularly contribute to Wikipedia under the same name of SoLando. I'm 18, from Liverpool (as my Wikipedia page states - its like Rome, but with quite a lot of chavs/scallies).

I go to college; however, I have no idea what to do - hopefully like many other students, then :-D Journalism interests me, but I have atrocious writing skills, as is (usually) noticeable. Meh!

I'll probably contribute to most articles on Wikinews though I'll prob' specialise in the following: Liverpool :-), UK stuff, politics and conflicts, and sports.

Wikinews is pretty rad! I'm going to try and do some more original reporting. That probably means alot of e-mail questions as most of the stuff I write about tends to happen far, far away.

If you want to discuss anything, visit the "wonderful" world of the talk page or e-mail me.

Take care all!

Worker's Party leader detained in Sao Paulo's airport with $100,000 hidden in his underpants

On Friday, Brazilian police officers detained a leader of the Workers' Party at Airport of Congonhas in Sao Paulo. He tried to board carrying R$200,000 (83,744.90 USD) and US$100,000 undeclared in cash. The money was hidden in his bag and in his underwear.

The man who was detained is José Adalberto Vieira da Silva, 39, Organization secretary of the Workers' Party from Ceará and the adviser of state deputy José Nobre Guimarães. Guimarães is the brother of José Genoino, President of the Workers' Party, the ruling party in Brazil.

José Adalberto, was detained on Friday, at about 11 a.m. (local time) when he was boarding to Fortaleza. Authorities detected through the airport's X-rays equipment that a great quantity of money was inside Adalberto's bag. After the bag was opened, the officers discovered R$200,000 (83,744.90 USD) in cash. The authorities took José Adalberto to another room in the airport. After searching in his clothing, police officers discovered US$100,000 hidden in Adalberto's underpants. The authorities charged José Adalberto for boarding without notification with more than R$10,000 (4,187.25 USD), which is forbidden by Brazilian laws.

Adalberto is currently being held in São Paulo, awaiting trial. The deputy José Nobre Guimarães denied any involvement in this case and fired José Adalberto Vieira da Silva.

Workers' Party President resigns
José Genoino, the Worker's Party President, resigned on Saturday (9). Mr Tarso Genro, the current Minister of Education, left the ministry and assumed the Worker's Party Presidency.

José Genoino is the third official to resign since the Brazilian deputy Roberto Jefferson began to give details about an alleged huge corruption scheme involving politicians from the government, the Worker's Party, the Brazilian Agency of Intelligence (Abin) and public and private enterprises. On July 5, the party's treasurer Delubio Soares and the general-secretary Silvio Pereira had resigned.

I think the template is missing a. See File:Marianne Heida.jpg as an example. The "Permission" field does not show all info.

UK remembers end of World War II sixty years on

July 10, 2005

A day of national commemoration has taken place across the United Kingdom, with the main events in London, to mark the culmination of a week commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. It is expected to be the last official national commemoration in the United Kingdom to mark the end of WWII.

After consulting veterans groups, the British Government chose to hold the national day of commemorations on 10 July, instead of separate days for VE Day (8 May) and VJ Day (15 August).

The day began with a service at Westminster Abbey at 11:00 BST, led by Queen Elizabeth II and attended by Prime Minister Tony Blair, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and hundreds of World War II veterans. The terrorist attacks in London on 7 July were also mentioned during the service, drawing parallels between the resilience of Londoners during the Blitz in WWII. A lunch was later held by the Queen at Buckingham Palace for WWII veterans of the Armed Forces and Home Front.

The Queen later led the parade down The Mall in a carriage, escorted by the Household Cavalry. A "Reflections of World War II Commemoration Show" began at 15:00 on Horse Guards Parade, attended by the Royal Family, politicians, veterans and others. The show was designed to portray a variety of experiences of World War II, including speeches, such as Prime Minister Winston Churchill's "We shall fight on the beaches...", and popular songs of the time, all of which were performed by current entertainers, including actor Robert Hardy, who portrayed Winston Churchill. The Queen made an address during the show, expressing her admiration for veterans of WWII while also drawing on the recent attacks on London.

The guns of the light cruiser HMS Belfast, which saw service in WWII, signalled the beginning of a two-minute silence at 15:45 pm, which ended again with the firing of Belfast's guns. Buglers of the Indian Army performed the Last Post.

A "Parade of Standards", numbering over a hundred, began to march down The Mall to Buckingham Palace at 16:15, led by the Queen in an open-top car. Large crowds began to converge on the palace, with the Royal Family later appearing on the palace's balcony, evoking memories of the VE Day celebrations on 8 May 1945. A flypast of WWII-era aircraft took place at 17:00, including a Lancaster bomber, flanked by a Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire, which released a million poppies.

In New Zealand, Prince William of Wales, who is visiting New Zealand for his first official royal duties abroad, laid a wreath at the Auckland Cenotaph to commemorate the end of World War II. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and Governor-General Dame Silvia Cartwright also attended.

Fantastic article, thanks for that Dan100 (Talk) 16:50, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Lol, thanks in two days. The troop reductions article was a very interesting read Dan100 (Talk) 20:48, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Fourth bomber
Actually, you were right to start a new article :-). The Content guide says one event=one article. In this instance, the news of the arrest of the fourth bomber is kinda lost as the headline of the raids article doesn't mention it (we could change it, but it's long enough already!). If you don't mind, I'm going to undelete your article and lazily expand it :-) Dan100 (Talk) 17:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Help
Hey SoLando, thanks for the assistance with the Anthony Walker story. I've never created a story on Wikinews before, but there was a VfD for the Anthony Walker article on Wikipedia and several people suggested creating a Wikinews story. It's great to have someone who knows what they're doing (more than me, which isn't saying much), and especially a Liverpudlian to whom the story is relatively local. If you haven't voted in the VfD, you might want to. Cheers! DavidConrad 06:45, 1 August 2005 (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 Claudewurth. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Claudewurth~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 23:13, 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) 06:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

New Enterprise Linux distribution on the horizon

July 10, 2005

Sources close to three distributors of the GNU/Linux operating systems have announced that, and  are working together on a new Enterprise Linux distribution in the hope of competing with 's and Red Hat's products.

The new distribution will be, making it the first Debian-based enterprise Linux distribution. According to , the distribution will support both Debian's native .deb package format (including ) and Red Hat's original system, in order to remain compatible with the many Red Hat-based enterprise distributions such as  (RHEL) and  — according to one vendor, "Basically the objective is to produce a distro that can act like Debian, use the Debian repository, but any Red Hat engineer should be comfortable with it." The distribution will also include a (within Debian) pioneering Web-based service manager for easy system administration, comparable to RHEL's tools of late.

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

 * Hi Keegan; For the record, both accounts are the same person.  I believe I have since taken the necessary steps to prove this is so.  As such, a new account is not required.  Thanks.  -- Abfackeln (talk) 03:02, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Meth use now USA's top drug problem, survey finds

July 11, 2005 Methamphetamine use is now the nation's most serious drug issue, according to a survey recently completed by the National Association of Counties (NaCO). The survey received responses from 500 county law enforcement agencies in 45 states. 58 percent of counties in the survey said that methamphetamine was their largest drug problem followed by cocaine (19%), marijuana (17%) and heroin (3%) as the most problematic drug for each county.

Methamphetamine is a growing problem, nearly double what it was three years ago in many regions. Over the last three years, 88 percent of counties have experienced an increase of meth-related crimes. Regions reporting the largest growth include the Upper Midwest, Southwest, and the Northwest - all reported a 93 percent increase in meth-related arrests. The Lower Midwest came in a close second with arrests increasing by 90 percent.

Meth labs use highly flammable and explosive materials to produce the drug. Due to this, meth labs have been known to explode in spectacularly devastating events. The waste produced in the process of making methamphetamine is disposed of using improper methods, leaving significant amounts of toxic waste in streams, groundwater, and septic systems.

The report contains numerous inaccuracies. Notably it states that "In the past 70 years, a new group of drugs have appeared on the horizon.  These are not drugs like heroin, marijuana, and cocaine,  but rather the synthetic drugs that use amphetamines as a primary  ingredient in their manufacture.  Known collectively as methamphetamine, they have been nicknamed meth, crank, crystal, speed  and many other local or regional variations."

Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887, dating the appearance of amphetamines to almost 120 years ago, not 70 as stated in the report. The drugs themselves are known collectively as "amphetamines" not as "methamphetamine" which is only one specific compound, not a group of compounds. Other amphetamines include Dexedrine, MDMA (Ecstacy), MDA, and MDE. Amphetamine itself has been prescribed to millions of children and adults alike to treat ADD/ADHD. Dexedrine has been used by the Air Force to keep pilots alert during long missions.

In another error of fact the report states that "in 1965 the federal food and drug laws were amended to try to decrease the black market sales of amphetamines" - Amphetamine products were first curbed in 1959 when Benzedrine was removed from store shelves by the FDA. It is possible that the authors thought that the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 was a 1965 bill because its designator was "Bill Number S.1965".

Talk:Meth use now USA's top drug problem, survey finds

Great article. So many questions re; this subject matter. 4 Canadians were killed by a "friendly fire" bombing done by U.S. pilots who had taken the "go pills". the peaceful island of Molokai has an epidemic of "crystal" use among the native kids. then there's the diet pills....just amazing that meth is legal in some forms and marijuana is illegal in all forms...oh yeah; marijuana is a weed..if it were legal, nobody could make any money off of it...I keep forgetting my mantra "follow the money". Paulrevere2005 01:31, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * You're probably also aware that tobacco meets all the requirements of a Schedule I controlled substance.

1) SCHEDULE I. (A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.  (B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.  (C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
 * Sounds like tobacco to me. --RossKoepke 05:04, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * ban tobacco and I strangle the US gov't, ban booze and I maybe do the same, legalize marijianna and make the 3rd strike, yer out! -Edbrown05 05:23, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * booze came about as something potent to drink, I forgive that, tobacco came about to hide the odor of stinky people, I forgive that... pot?

 * I don't use pot but I've got friends who use it everyday with no apparent problems except putting off decision making. I also have friends who began drinking socially for business bonding and now are drunks with lots of problems. I never knew anyone who got tobacco caused cancer; but I hear it's a brutal side - effect. I think pot was used as a natural herbal remedy for lots of stuff (insomnia, anxiety, glacoma,)by numerous peoples all over the world before being banned;[] and I think it is really safe compared to alcohol and tobacco and even the prescription drugs for anxiety and insomnia..... The fact that even the non-intoxicating strain of the hemp plant(which is the best fiber in the world) is still banned in the US tells me its all about money; (they don't want the competition for the cotton and polyester manufacturers). all just my opinion. Paulrevere2005 17:11, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Just as an aside, I have been trying for years,without success, to find out where Purdue Pharma gets all the opium they use in their blockbuster dope drug, Oxycontin. They ain't talking... but I think the road leads to Afghanistan's Taliban; but I can't prove it. Paulrevere2005 17:21, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd check the patent on 'oxycodone' (the drug used in the propreitary Oxycontin delivery system). I would be seriously surprised if the manufacturing process actually used opium. --RossKoepke 20:15, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Heck while you're at it, try Fentanyl, Morphine, Codeine, and other opiates. I don't think the manufacturing process for any of these actually use opium. Most organic chemicals can be synthesized using relatively unrelated chemicals. Ex. methamphetamine isn't produced by attaching a methyl group to amphetamine, it's created by a complicated series of reactions of different phenethylenes. --RossKoepke 20:17, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

"Oxycodone is an opium derivative" and "opiate-based drug"  Paulrevere2005 20:30, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I've found this;
 * Oh, I get it now! If the drug is for personal recreational use, damn that's illegal, but if corporations profit from it, no problem! -- NGerda 20:35, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nail on head!! (and, fwiw, in my understanding there are TONS of ways to synthesize something like methamphetamine, some using more dangerous chems than others. unless Sudafed is flammable.) ;) --CGW 20:46, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Are MDMA, MDA et al amphetamines?
My understanding is that they aren't. Could someone provide a cite of where they are classfied in that way. I'm not talking about street Ecstacy pills, which often are cut with amphetamines.
 * The 'A' in in all of those stand for amphetamine. MDMA is Methylene-dioxy-meth-amphetamine. Meth is Meth-amphetamine (amphetamine with a methyl group attached). Note the similarities between these chemicals. You can identify the Amphetamine structure in each image. [[Image:Amphetamine.png|thumb|left|Amphetamine]] [[Image:Metamphetamine.png|thumb|left|Methamphetamine]] [[Image:MDA.png|thumb|left||MDA]] [[Image:Dexamphetamine.png|thumb|right|Dextroamphetamine]]

The awkward question is "Is the "doping" and "sickening" and "dumbing down" of the masses done(allowed) on purpose?"
Well, Stanford University's Hoover Institute's economics research fellow, Antony Sutton, points out that;

 * A; There's a lot of money to be made by and power to be gained by having a doped up, stupid and sick population under your control(easier to steal from(Enron) and lie to(WMD))

 * B; Doped up, stupid and sick people are easier to control than healthy and smart people.

But..this is all starting to sound a bit "conspiratorial"..sort of like the WMD and "axis of evil" conspiracy theories..so it must not be true; and even if it were, most of us would rather not know or think about it..imo. Paulrevere2005 13:57, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * --> snort and guffle <-- Sure it's true, but Skull n Bones? They ain't that smart if Dubya is one of them! And people ain't dumb, even if they're not formally educated. Uh oh, why'd I say thatEdbrown05 01:33, 13 July 2005 (UTC) searching for save button

Wild storms lash New South Wales South Coast

July 11, 2005

Gale force winds ripped through Sydney and the South Coast of New South Wales late on Saturday night, causing widespread damage and extensive power outages, with up to 30,000 homes going without electricity at one point. The strong winds caused trees to be uprooted, in one instance crashing down upon an unsuspecting motorist, killing a man in his 60's and severely injuring his wife.

The State Emergency Service (SES) has responded to over 800 calls for help to repair damage caused by the storms, however the storms have subsided somewhat and flood warnings around Bega and Moruya have been withdrawn.

Wikinews talk:Image use policy

Non-commercial/Non-derivative image licenses
The Fair use policy clearly delineates what kind of graphics are allowed to be hosted on Wikinews. They are exclusively publicity graphics, corporate logos, and some screenshots. It also clearly states we may not host images which are from any other news source as that might be considered competitive under the Fair Use defense.

On another note: the board very reluctantly allowed Wikinews to host limited images, and only after much argument about the Fair Use policy. - Amgine/talk 03:36, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * So are you arguing that WN may only host Fair Use images and that GFDL, CC-*** or other types of images should not be allowed? I do not believe that is the intent of the policy. The intent was to allow Wikinews to have a image policy to allow it to use images that may not fit into the Wikicommons criteria. The policy *also* limited what could be uploaded under "fair use" for WN (since the concept of "fair use" is very sticky legally). I don't think it meant to disallow WN-hosting to other images that we are given permission to use.
 * The "competitive" restriction is a fair use defense. Since under fair use - we are basically swiping someone else's copyrighted work without their permission, the "no competitor" rule allows us to state that the use of the image we have no permission to use in no way hurt the commercial opportunities of other news sources. But with CC;BY-*** - this does not apply since we DO have permission to use the image. -- Davodd | Talk 05:00, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, that is the intent of the policy. Wikinews should only host Fair Use images which may not be hosted at Commons.

 * The "competitive" is point where Fair use fails. If we are not competitive then the use is tranformative. - Amgine/talk 05:35, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * But this has nothing to do with Fair Use, and instead has to do with the third section on this page: "Grants of license". The policy (that the board approved) authorizes images that have additional restrictions to be used on Wikinews. The fair use argument should not come into this debate at all. -- IlyaHaykinson 04:06, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * Uhm, the fair use would ignore those licenses. That's the point of it. The Fair use defense allows those "limitations" to not be relevant. - Amgine/talk 04:09, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, I think there is some confusion. These non-commercial images that are in question here are not being uploaded with the intent to classify them as fair use. They are being uploaded under the "grant of license" clause of the policy. They are definitely not "fair use" — that's a legal term applied to a specific set of reasons when we as a news organization can use copyrighted images. In this case, we are talking about CC-licensed images that are not Commons-compatible, but are still newsworthy. -- IlyaHaykinson 04:14, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * IN short:
 * Fair use = Copyrighted images we do not have specific permission to use, but use anyway.
 * CC-*** = Copyrighted images we do have specific permission to use.
 * It seems odd to me that there is an argument at all. Why are people speedy deleting images from our site that we have permission to use without first going through the WN:DR process? -- Davodd | Talk 04:45, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The reason why the images have been deleted is we are supposed to only host Fair Use images. All other images are supposed to be hosted through Commons. I understand we may have been given permission to use these specific images, but we can't host them here unless we can convince the board to allow Wikinews a broader image hosting exception.

 * For this specific and singular situation, it might be easier to contact the copyright holder and request the images be re-licensed, until we get a broader permission from the board. - Amgine/talk 05:35, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, the Fair Use policy mentions our ability to use some non-free, non-fair-use photos when it's a Breaking News story (i.e. when the image is really important). I would say the image of a policeman with his head bleeding definitely fits this profile.
 * "This includes screenshots, publicity photos explicitly intended for the media, logos, and images under 'semi-free' licenses which we might get under a fully free license eventually, but where a breaking news situation requires us to make a temporary compromise."
 * The above was Eloquence's statement to foundation-l when approved by the board. I encourage the community to accept these non-free images on a longer-term basis, too. -- IlyaHaykinson 06:23, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Commons, article archives, and free images.
As many of you are aware, especially the admins who have been working through the archives these past weeks, many of our archived articles have been edited via Commons, by deleting or altering images used in archived articles. This has resulted in a couple hundred articles being edited after they were archived.

Wikinews's relationship with Commons has a long history of difficulties, but a lot of use of commons as well. The ongoing relationship issues are being worked on. But to secure the integrity of Wikinews articles I suggest the following changes to this policy:

 * Remove the section regarding free images.
 * The uploading of free images to Wikinews, for the current time, is not harmful to Wikinews' mission.
 * Add section regarding photojournalism as a class of image to upload to Wikinews.
 * This would specifically include the CC-by-nd or CC-by-nc images photo journalists wish to upload here.

-  Amgine | talk en.WN 00:02, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * CC-BY-NC and CC-BY-ND are definitely not acceptable. This is Foundation policy as repeatedly stated on different mailing lists.--Eloquence 21:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Not the case, as you well recall. -NC/-ND are useful on some projects, depending on the use. They're clearly more free than GFDL on the relicensure variable, for example. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 00:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * What am I supposed to recall? The last time the issue of NC/ND came up, it was in the context of Wikisource. The idea of allowing such content was rejected by Jimmy, Anthere and Angela. Angela also pointed out that the Foundation bylaws specifically state that our goal is to provide free content. That the FDL requires reprint of the license text makes it unsuitable for certain documents (e.g. pictures); it was, after all, created for software manuals. That does not make it a non-free license, it makes it a purpose-specific license. If you want me to raise this issue, again, specifically for Wikinews on foundation-l, I will. But the answer is going to always be the same: limited fair use is allowed on each project in line with its policies, everything else has to be free content. Fair use always retains a special status: it is allowed only under limited circumstances, content under such provisions may always be replaced with free versions (even if inferior), and can be speedy deleted under many circumstances. We do not allow a third class of "semi-free" works under licenses like NC or ND. This is the best way to maintain a clear barrier of separation between free and non-free content, and to incentivize the use of free licenses.--Eloquence 23:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Restoring Gol
This section, part of the first version of this policy and the version approved by the WMF Board, was removed unilaterally as "creep". It cannot be creep if it were a part of the original document. -  Amgine | t 18:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Could I ask exactly what version was approved by the Board? This one? Also, is this approval documented anywhere? Thanks. Adambro (talk) 10:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I believe it was the April 19th version, but it was only accepted in conjunction with the WN:FU at the same time, that is, the board members only would agree if we had the very limited whitelist of that time. I don't know if there was a formal resolution; I was lobbying the board members directly by phone and IRC and Angela informed me the board had approved and gave instructions to the Devs to allow uploads for Wikinews (at the time I was under the impression it was over protests from the devs, though that may have been incorrect.) I do remember seeing something about it on wikimediafoundation.org, possibly in old meeting minutes. -  Amgine | t 14:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * So the version of WN:FU, whilst not directly related to this GOL issue, at the time it was apparently accepted by the board stated that "Unacceptable licenses would be: Creative Commons CC-BY-NC (prohibits commercial use), Creative Commons CC-BY-ND (prohibits derivative works)", which makes me wonder how we ever did allow such licenses.

 * Focusing now back on the GOL issue, whilst I accept that the version you suggest was accepted by the board did allow GOL images, this was in April 2005 and things have changed since then. In May 2005, Jimbo Wales sent an email to the WikiEN-l mailing list stating that non-commercial and by permission only images would be deleted. Whilst this comment was made in relation to the situation on Wikipedia, it might be reasonable to consider it relevant to our project also. Then, in March 2007, the board passed its resolution on licensing policy which clearly defined acceptable free licenses and set out the way in which projects can allow non-free content in limited situations. I cannot see how this permits the use of GOL content. For a start it states that an EDP "may not allow material where we can reasonably expect someone to upload a freely licensed file for the same purpose". I would suspect that in many cases with GOL content this may be the case. Adambro (talk) 15:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * First point first: cc-nc/nd/etc. are unacceptable licenses for free use; this does not preclude their use under fair use rationales.

 * Second point: Unlike Wikipedia, a primary element of Wikinews is to serve as a permanent archive. As such, we need to keep perfect archives of our original content as it stood at the time it was published. Deleting or altering images fundamentally harms our value as an historical record. It also suffices to show why later uploads do not meet the "same purpose".

 * To explain that last element is extremely difficult if you do not accept the original premise for Wikinews as a permanent record, which would then make the explanation redundant, so I shan't waste the effort. -  Amgine | t 16:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Regarding your first point, I very much agree however there is a long history for these licenses been used on their own as if they aren't to be considered unfree. They all should have the unfree license tag removed and be replaced by an appropriate fair use tag and rationale. In many cases I doubt that an appropriate tag and rationale could be used.

 * I understand that part of our project's mission is for old news stories to be maintained as an archive and this I agree with. Where I disagree as I have mentioned on a number of occasions now to you is that the archiving policy should prevent us from dealing with image issues. Most of the descriptions of the archiving policy which I have read specifically highlight the article text as to be preserved but don't mention images.

 * It is also impossible for us to use the archiving policy as a defence against accusations of copyright infringement considering that it is perfectly feasible for us to change archived articles as issues are highlighted. It is irresponsible for us to attempt to claim this and ignore the Board's resolution whilst leaving the Foundation more vulnerable to legal proceedings in the process. I don't think I've ever supported the suggestion that we should start changing images on articles where issues emerge, rather simply delete the offending image. Adambro (talk) 17:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It is perfectly possible for us to change an archived article, but if we do so it is no longer accurate as to what we published originally. This includes images. An example is the rather famous Truman US presidential election image - by itself it constitutes a news story. Images are particularly relevant news media, complementing and expanding the content of any news story. It is quite rare to find a news site online in which every story is not accompanied by an image.

 * You are effectively pitting the Board's decision to create Wikinews, with its archive mission, against the Board's decision to limit newly uploaded media content. For Wikinews the answer is clear: it's mission over-rides the later clarification. Ensuring that those legacy images are clearly showing their fair-use rationale would be the mission to improve the Foundation's security within Wikinews.

 * One of the reasons images which are actually free are occasionally hosted on Wikinews is where those images have been edited, altered, replaced, or deleted on Commons. It's one of the very few cases where the Commons community does not fit well with the Wikinews project; they do not maintain their media as archives, nor is it a part of that community's mission to do so. In such cases I do support hosting those images here, only because there has been a history where images have been altered on Commons. (On another hand, if you know of a way to link an image with a specific revision on Commons, that would completely resolve this rare problem.) -  Amgine | t 17:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * In response to your first point, as I've previously noted, there may be a few limited instances where the article relies upon the inclusion of images. I'd also suggest that your comparison with other news websites in an attempt to justify our use of unfree images is flawed. Wikinews isn't just another news website, it has the unique feature of trying to be freely available. Therefore we can't simply copy the format other news websites use without this feature, we've got to appreciate that the restrictions this puts on us means that we won't always be able to include an image.

 * I don't think the archiving policy overrides the requirement to limit our use of unfree content. In fact this surely can't be the case, our website is primary goal is to provide free content, providing historical archived articles is secondary to this. The Board's resolution doesn't apply to "newly uploaded" media as you suggest, it applies to all.

 * I'm not sure how your final point is particularly relevant to a discussion on whether we should (or even can) allow GOL material. Adambro (talk) 18:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * My first point was that images are an element of a news story, not sunderable, any more than a quote or backgrounder sentence, and this appears to be something you are not able to accept. Future stories do take into account the licensing strictures where possible, but the archives cannot. And, since the archives are fundamental to Wikinews and its creation, they take precendence over an essentially forward-focused board resolution.

 * Your second point is in error. If the only purpose was to produce the content we would simply be updating the news templates on Wikipedia. There is no point, none, to Wikinews without the archives. In any logical examination of Wikinews the archives are, in fact, the *primary* purpose to the project; to be a repository of news articles, some of which happen to be current. -  Amgine | t 19:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I would have to strongly disagree with your assertion that archiving should not override use of unfree content. I, to be blunt, think if half the effort was put into creating rationales that is put into deleting images we would not have this conflict continually rearing its ugly head on the project. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * How do we write a rationale for GOL images then, many of which I suspect can't really be claimed to be fair use. Adambro (talk) 19:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I believe Brianmc's comment on DR addresses this specific question. -  Amgine | t 19:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Moved from the page
I moved this from the policy page to the talk page. It should not be on the main policy page yet, which has "official policy" at the top, until it is approved by the community to be added. It is confusing to have both "official policy" and "proposed policy" tags on a page. Cirt (talk) 02:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Image editing
Proposed policy

Images on Wikinews may sometimes be edited. Ideally, this should be done only when:

 * there is a genuine need for the alteration
 * it doesn't alter anything of substance to the news event
 * alterations should be noted and described on the image description page
 * For images on commons, this can be done by adding
 * unaltered images should be available to readers

question on gol
I didn't read the entire thing on GOL above because its long and scary, but as it stands, I do not think we should allow new GOL images, as they are in violation of wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy, and the spirit of our image policy (and just quite confusing when cc-by-nc-nd is essentially a deletion template, but yet we allow unofficial permissions much more restrictive). GOL images, if we are granted GOL licenses, the grant of license should be such that the license is considered free (as in freedom, as in Definition of free cultural works free). Otherwise our other image policies and what we actually do on a day to day basis contradicts the GOL section of this policy. (Note: I'm not proposing anything retroactive, as thats just a can of worms i don't really want to touch). Bawolff ☺☻ 06:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I think it is time to review (in a debate) the way this policy has been used over the years. Then, we may want to tweak its intent or wording, and merge it with Fair use to avoid confusion for readers.  Otherwise we appear to have 2 contradictory policies, when we actually intend them to be complementary.
 * I think I will be able to make a case for a very small number of non-publicity GOL to be used for news, within the spirit of the Board Resolution.

100 participate in Zagreb Pride

July 11, 2005

One hundred people walked in Zagreb Pride parade yesterday in Zagreb, Croatia. Guarded by five hundred policemen, the parade promoting tolerance towards non-heterosexual people went without any major incidents. Helena Štimac Radin, president of the Government's institution for sexual equality, was present at the parade.

Organizers of the parade, the feminist organization Epikriza, said that postponing the event caused low turnout this year. It was not clear for about three weeks if the parade would take place at all, as the initial organization Iskorak, which was supposed to organize the parade this year, decided not to initiate it as they felt another type of event would be more appropriate.

Participants held banners saying "Love always wins", "Homophobia is illness" and "Sexual education into schools".

Several groups of people protested the parade, carrying banners reading "Raise your own children, not mine." They also disseminated flyers with "Croatian women and men, say no to faggoting of Croatia" written on them.

"I am angry because my tax money is spent on this kind of thing. There is money for these sick people, but there isn't for schools and kindergartens. It drives me crazy", one of the protestors said according to the newspaper Novi List. The parade was in part sponsored by the city of Zagreb.

Bypassers shouted insults at the paraders, who replied with "Gay is OK" and "Zagreb is gay". Police checked the identification of several skinheaded young men, but there were no larger incidents.

Abbott labs ends dispute with Brazilian government over AIDS drug

July 11, 2005

Two weeks ago, the government of Brazil threatened to break the patent on the most widely-prescribed AIDS medication, Keletra (produced by Abbott Labs), if the makers would not comply with the government's requests. After holding its ground during the days leading up to the deadline set by Brazilian authorities, Abbot Labs has finally reached an agreement with the Brazilian government and is lowering its prices to levels deemed appropriate by the government of Brazil.

Brazilian law allows Brazil to break patents on medicines when there is a "risk to public health". After determining that the current prices were so exorbitant that they posed a significant risk to public health, the Brazilian government-owned chemical laboratories could begin manufacturing the drug themselves.

Brazil spent $107 million producing the drug this past year, and stated that the new financial deal will save the government $18 million next year, and $259 million over the next six years.

Brazilian citizens receive free AIDS medication, paid for by the government. This bulk purchasing arrangement allows Brazilian citizens to receive the most affordable healthcare in the developed world.

Australian PM promises to assist Corby

July 11, 2005

Australian Prime Minister John Howard has promised that his government will do whatever it can to assist Schapelle Corby's legal team. He said this as part of a three page letter sent in response to a request from Corby herself.

"Let me assure you that the Australian Government will continue to provide every assistance it can under our legal system, consistent with our approach to date," he said.

Corby was recently sentenced by an Indonesian court to 20 years in jail for attempting to smuggle four kilograms of marijuana into the island of Bali. The case has been controversial in Australia, with many people believing she is innocent and that the legal process was unfair. It has been alleged that the drugs were planted in Ms. Corby's luggage by baggage handlers, as part of a smuggling ring internal to Australia, and that they were not collected by the intended "pick up", leaving them in Ms. Corby's possession when she arrived in Bali. The Bali High Court decided during an appeal that new evidence should be heard in the case. During the original case a number of key witnesses were not called.

Corby's lawyers are now collecting new information and preparing for the case. Mr Howard pledged to support them in this process.

"Looking ahead, the Australian government will do what it can to support your legal team as they work to collect further evidence in Australia", he said.

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 Anonymous. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Anonymous~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 23:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 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.

Wikinews:Breaking news

For a list of current breaking news stories, see also Category:Breaking News.

In the event of a major breaking news event, we need to organize ourselves to give the best possible coverage.

Here are guidelines you can follow - if you're the first person to react, follow the First moments advice, and if the story is already on the site, read the As the story unfolds advice section. Finally, the If you are at the scene section gives suggestions in case you ever find yourself at the scene of a major story.

Create an article
It is very important to create an article about the event as soon as possible to prevent multiple articles being created. Go to the Newsroom and start your article. Submit it for breaking review as soon as you can by changing develop to breaking review.

When published, the article will have breaking at its top to advise readers information can change quickly as more details emerge; it should be removed as the story settles down.

List sources
List your sources as soon as you find them. If you're hearing it on a live broadcast, use the broadcast report tag in the Sources section, then explain on the Talk page what you're listening to or watching, and what's being said.

Connect to IRC
During breaking news situations, you may want to join our IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel to help coordinate things. IRC is never required, and is merely used to communicate in real time, share sources, and discuss events. We have the #wikinews channel on the server irc.libera.chat.

Find sources
In the first moments of a major event we need sources as soon as possible. Try searching on Google News (has a 15 minute delay) and Yahoo News (can be quicker for "news wire" articles), and listening to live radio streams. Post your sources in the IRC channel so people can read them, and add them to the article.

Minimizing edit conflicts
As the number of editors working on an article increase, edit conflicts become more frequent. There are several steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of an edit conflict.
 * 1) Divide the article into sections. You can divide the article into sections by adding ==Section title== above a section of text. If you use the visual editor, format the line as heading. To avoid an edit conflict, edit one section at a time. An example of this can be found at Coordinated terrorist attack hits London.
 * 2) Write your additions somewhere else first, then add them to the article.  In many cases, it is easier to make your additions to an article at another location before adding it to the frequently-edited article. The easiest way to do this is to open a blank text document on your computer using a text editor program. You can then copy that text into the article.

For new developments, start new articles
The main article can cover the primary event. However, for new developments - responses from political leaders, updates on casualty tolls, arrests etc - start new articles. Remember we're a news service, not an encyclopedia, and we want to highlight new developments to our readers as soon as they're verified.

If the original article would not get reviewed in due time, you may use the new developments to refocus it, thus saving much of the original content. By that time the original focal point has most likely lost its breaking status.

Renaming articles
Avoid renaming published articles if at all possible since this may affect outside pages and newsfeeds who may be linking to Wikinews. Choose a headline specific to the incident without being too detail-specific because of its breaking nature.

If you are at the scene
category=Breaking News addfirstcategorydate=true suppresserrors=true Purge

If you are online near the scene, add a comment to the story's Talk page saying where you are and adding notes for any original reporting. You may find it easier to add quick reports on the Talk page which other editors can then add to the story, especially as information which may turn out to be rumours on the ground can be checked out by others with access to wider information.

If possible, take photographs using a digital camera (even a camera phone is better than nothing at all), and upload them to Wikimedia Commons.

Remembering Srebrenice massacre

July 11, 2005

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Srebrenica today to remember the massacre of over 8,000 Muslims, mostly men and boys, which happened on 11th July 1995. This is considered the worst atrocity in Europe since the end of World War II.

610 victims of the massacres were buried today after their bodies were recovered from multiple mass graves. 1,300 bodies have been identified with DNA testing but 4,500 body bags of human remain still need to be identified

Serbian president Boris Tadic attended the memorial and paid his tribute to the victims by bowing before their coffins. Tadic's attendance caused outrage among Serbian hardliners but has been applauded by the international community.

French, Dutch and UK ministers were also present, as well as former US Balkan envoy Richard Holbrook. UK foreign secretary Jack Straw apologized on behalf of the world community stating that it is "the shame of the international community that this evil took place under our noses and we did nothing about it". He also called it "sickening" that Radovan Karadzic and General Ratko Mladic, the men accused of overseeing the massacre, have not yet been captured and brought to justice.

Security was tight after two bombs were found in the area last week. More than 1,500 policemen are patrolling the area.

Ryanair launches more Shannon Airport routes

July 11, 2005 Irish low fares airline Ryanair has announced it is to commence service of two new routes from Shannon Airport in County Clare, Ireland. It will now fly to Bristol, England daily and to Nantes, France three times a week. The airline will also increase the frequency of its Shannon-Frankfurt route.

Shannon airport has seen its traffic figures soar in the past year since Ryanair established a new base there. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has said he expects the new routes to bring an additional 200,000 passengers to the airport.

Despite the positive announcement of the new routes on Thursday, Ryanair's share price plunged by 10% on the same day due to the London bombings that morning. However the share price recovered substantially on Friday.

Ryanair is the world's most profitable airline, having reported record profits of €269m earlier this year, and is pursuing an aggressive expansion plan which will see it's total number of passengers jump to 70m over the next few years. At present Ryanair has 91 aircraft and 230 Boeing 737's on order.

This summer has brought a large amount of sunlight to Iceland. Temperatures have been soaring upwards in the eastern and north eastern regions of Iceland over the last few days, with the temperature reaching as much as 25 degrees Celsius (77° Fahrenheit) in Miðjarðarnesi.

At Egilstaðir, near to Landsvirkjun's Kárahnjúkavirkjun dam construction site it's been around 24°C (75°F).

The Icelandic Weather Agency is predicting continuing hot weather in east Iceland. The sun could even start shining in Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland, later this week.
