Hi!

I notice quite a few of you registering accounts all at the same time. Good luck with Wikinews! Has one of your lecturers suggested use of this site for any particular reason? If so, you might want to suggest they get in touch with myself, or some of the other administrators on the project.

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Good!/reply (4)

Yes, it is justified. France is a secular country where religion is to be practiced in privacy. It's the law since 1905. Wearing a burqa or a niqab everywhere is clearly an attempt to express you religious belief in public places.

In addition, this new law does not ban the religious Muslim veil specifically. The ban is on anything which may fully cover one's face making it impossible for them to be identified. Hence, burqa, niqab and military-like full face hoods are banned. People fully covering their faces will not only be brought to the police station for identification, but will also have to pay a 150 €uro fine.

Going back on the article, it should be clearly stated that the arrested people were only arrested because their protestation was not official. In France, you can protest as much as you'd like, but you must "declare" it first at the town hall.

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Comments from feedback form - "this is totally against humani..."/reply

France is a secular country since 1905. The law states that religious is to be practiced in private. Hence, it is illegal to wear any big religious symbols in public (may it be a big bling-bling christian cross over your sweater or religious-specific full body veil).

The French motto is "freedom, equality, fraternity". What people often forget, is that this motto means equality and fraternity for judgments: everyone has the right to have a lawyer, even if they can't pay for one, and everyone is free to choose their own lawyer.

Islam is a religion imposed by force in the first place. If you are not a believer then according to Islam they are to either convert you or kill you, and if you are a believer and decide to renounce your faith, if you are a man you will be killed, and a woman or child you will be imprisoned until you admit that you were wrong in renouncing it. I honestly don't understand how people can say that France is forcing people to not be Muslim when the religion is forced onto them in the first place.

Talk:Barry Bonds guilty of obstruction

Too Small
The News page is too small to be considered newsworthy....

 * It is still news. Phearson (talk) 10:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Article inaccurate
Bonds was found guilty by a jury of one count of obstruction of justice by a jury. The judge declared a mistrial for the other three charges, as the jury could not agree. The words "while three other charges that were levied were dropped after an agreement with the prosecution and Bonds' defense lawyer" are untrue.

There was no agreement between "the prosecution and Bonds' defense lawyer" to drop the charges. In fact the sources state that the prosecution will decide whether it is worth the time and effort to retry Bonds again.

"Federal prosecutors must decide whether it is worth the time and expense to try Bonds for a second time on the deadlocked charges."

"The judge in the case declared a mistrial on three remaining counts."

Please correct the article. Thanks, Mattisse (talk) 13:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I've submitted a change for peer review. Thanks for pointing this out! — which said, it would be very helpful if you would submit a fix to such a thing yourself.  This is a wiki.  The point of flaggedrevs is that anyone can edit the article and thereby propose such a change, and then someone else will peer-review it and accept, reject, accept-with-changes, or even change and leave for yet another to peer-review.  Not submitting an edit slows down the process of fixing the problem by adding extra steps (involving three people including you, rather than you and one independent peer-reviewer), and sometimes it can even result in the problem not being fixed until after the 24-hour horizon, at which point a correction notice is needed (and nobody enjoys that).  --Pi zero (talk) 13:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I am never sure when it is ok to make major changes in an article that is already published. I rewrote an article by the same editor once before but that was before it was published. I have been reprimanded in the past for making a change after publication. I know it is ok to make minor changes, punctuation, slight rewording etc. but in this case the change I would have made would make the article very different. (I still needs fixing, so I guess you are saying that I should go ahead and do it.) Regards, Mattisse (talk) 14:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If it needs fixing, yes, fix it (and someone then does a peer-review of your change). The rule for changing things after publication is that substantive edits can be made for 24 hours after publication.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I have completely rewritten the article. Mattisse (talk) 18:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Good!/reply (6)

I have no problem with Islam as a religion that I do not also have with Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism, et al. And I have no problem with religion per se, just with religion being imposed upon people or used as an "excuse".

What I do have a problem with is people—of any religion—trying to have their religion treated as an exemption to the rules that everybody else much follow.

I believe it is Sikhs whose religion states that they are to carry a sword everywhere, and I would deny them that right. Because something written in a book that is thousands of years old does not imply an inalienable right to ignore the rules and laws of the land in which one resides. The carrying of an offensive weapon is a prime example, and I expect most Sikhs would not expect to be allowed to carry said sword in public.

I simply apply the same logic to the Muslim veil. There are many circumstances in which full-face coverings are deeply inappropriate, and one cannot be expected to be exempted from this on the basis of an outdated system of beliefs, especially by people who do not share those beliefs, or by the government of a secular nation.

Muslims are, of course, as is everyone else, free to believe whatever they like, and free to perform whatever acts of worship or religious expression they wish in the privacy of their own home of place of worship. But expecting to be allowed to do so in public is imposing your religious beliefs on others, and should not be permitted.

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 Shahid. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shahid~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 23:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Mother of slain Army Ranger calls for removal of General McChrystal from committee

April 16, 2011

Mary Tillman, mother of, the former professional football player and who was killed by friendly fire on April 22nd, 2004 outside of the village of  in Afghanistan, has objected to President Barack Obama's recent appointment of General  to chair a commission on military families.

Immediately after Tillman's death, the Army announced that his death was a result of enemy fire. General Stanley McChrystal authorized the to be awarded to Tillman posthumously with the citation supporting the claim.

Reports indicate that McChrystal wrote a memo to President George W. Bush stating "if this becomes public this could be an embarrassment to the administration," referring the the actual details of Tillman's death. Mary Tillman believes there was an effort to cover up the true details of her son's death.

Mary Tillman believes McChrystal's handling of the circumstances surrounding the death of her son, makes him unfit to chair a commission that is intended to handle issues regarding military families.

The commission is a low-level White House advisory panel, created by first lady Michelle Obama and second lady Jill Biden. General McChrystal's appointment to lead the commission comes less than a year after President Obama fired the former special operations commander from his position as the top commander for all forces in Afghanistan. General McChrystal was fired at that time for making comments to reporters critical of the President and civilian leadership.

General McChrystal could not be reached for comment.

In a recent press briefing,  was asked what the White House's response was to critics who say General McChrystal should not be on any sort of advisory committee having to do with military families. Carney responded by saying, "[T]he president feels strongly that General McChrystal is the right person to help lead this advisory committee on this vital issue."

We always seem to think bigger is better. Often it's not, as in airplanes, the national debt (well, any debt), and the world's population. When a thing is big enough to function efficiently, you don't have to make it bigger just to see if you can. Bragging rights aren't everything.

Japanese nuclear plant operators ordered to compensate affected families amid calls for prime minister to resign

April 16, 2011

The operators of the stricken in northeast Japan have been ordered to pay compensation to families affected by the ongoing  at the site, amid calls for the resignation of the  over how he is handling the crisis, which has now been designated on par with the  in 1986.

Japanese officials ordered to pay  to each household affected by the crisis, which the company says will add up to approximately. Earlier this week, officials announced plans to expand the around the plant to include five more communities as radiation continues to leak from the plant. Pressure is now mounting for the resignation of, the Japanese prime minister, for his handling of the nuclear crisis in Fukushima; some of his opponents have called for an independent inquiry into how he reacted to the disaster.

TEPCO has this week announced plans to move equipment to higher ground after a series of strong that have hampered efforts to repair the crippled facility. Officials have warned some of the nuclear rods in the reactors at the plant may have been damaged, but likely remain intact. Workers at the plant are still fighting a desperate battle to stop radiation leaking from the plant, but have been hit by constant setbacks.

Earlier this week officials of, the Japanese government nuclear authority, said officials had upgraded the crisis to a level seven on the —the same applied to the Chernobyl disaster—designating the crisis as a "major accident" with "wider consequences" than previously thought. "We have upgraded the severity level to seven as the impact of radiation leaks has been widespread from the air, vegetables, tap water and the ocean," he said.

, the emperor of Japan, travelled to the northeast of the country on Wednesday to visit survivors of the tsunami which devastated the area last month against a backdrop of mounting anger over the at a nuclear plant, where technicians are continuing to battle to cool the reactors as radiation continues to leak from the site. Akihito and his wife,, met people displaced by the tragedy at two emergency shelters in , near the northeast coast where the tsunami struck. 140,000 people are now living in emergency shelters across Japan after their homes were destroyed in the disaster.

Emergency workers, dressed in protective white suits, gloves and goggles, have began searching for bodies within the exclusion zone around the stricken nuclear plant, much of which was left muddied and destroyed by the tsunami. Officials fear up to 1,000 bodies may be among the wreckage in the area. Search efforts in the area have been put off because of high radiation levels, but authorities want to recover bodies before they deteriorate to the point where they become a health hazard and impossible to identify.

Japanese television reported radiation levels in the ocean off the plant have fallen but remain high. Health officials have found radiation 25 times the legal limit in fish caught south of the nuclear plant, and radioactivity had been detected in 11 different vegetables in Fukushima earlier this week. The death toll from the disaster is continuing to rise; have reported 13,300 people have been confirmed dead and more than 15,000 are still missing.

Another aftershock, with a magnitude of 6.1, struck on Thursday morning, following a more powerful one, measuring magnitude 6.6, on Monday. have rattled northeast Japan in the month since the initial earthquake. Before the aftershock on Monday, people across Japan marked the one month anniversary of the earthquake with a, and Kan paid tribute to countries who had sent aid to the stricken country. However, Kan has been criticised for his handling of the nuclear crisis. An entrepreneur in, Yoshihisa Kato, complained about how he had been left abandoned by the government. "I am physically and mentally worn out by the nuclear crisis," he said. "They have done nothing so far to help us."

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.

Poverty rises as food prices increase

April 17, 2011 The World Bank, an organization that provides loans to developing countries, warned Thursday that rising food prices are driving millions of people deeper into poverty.

, World Bank president, said that food prices have risen 36% over the last year, pushing 44 million more people into poverty since last June. About 1.2 billion people are extremely poor.

He warned that a further increase of 10% in the cost of food would move an additional 10 million persons into extreme poverty, and there was no sign of a near term  reversal  in  the inflation of food prices, which affects the developing world disproportionately.

"We have to put food first and protect the poor and vulnerable, who spend most of their money on food," said Zoellick. “The general trend lines are ones where we are in a danger zone… because prices have already gone up and [food] stocks are relatively low,” he said.

The cost of the, such as  ,  and  are all surging. Only has shown a slight decrease in price.

The steep rise in the cost of food is being driven by a combination of factors, including bad weather in food exporting areas such as Russia, Ukraine, North America and China, rising energy costs that increase the cost of producing and transporting food, and the incentives for  farmers in many countries to produce crops for s  instead of for food.

"The linkage between food and fuel is much tighter than it was ten years ago," said Zoellick.

Additionally, the change in diet of the growing middle class  in developing countries means they  consume more meat and pork products which take increased grain to produce and drives up the price of.

National food investment and export policies of some wealthier countries are affecting poorer nations. For example, China is acquiring large amounts of land in Africa to grow food for the needs of the Chinese; Saudi Arabia has given up wheat production to invest overseas for food, and a in Russia has led it to implement an export ban on wheat.

Zoellick spoke in Washington at the opening of the meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He hopes to discuss food policies with officials of the countries to develop a "code of conduct" on export bans and to encourage these countries to do more to  increase food production and aid developing countries in managing  agricultural problems.

On Saturday, the World Bank and the IMF issued "Global Monitoring Report 2011: Improving the Odds of Achieving the MDGs" which said the world was still on track toward reaching a key goal of reducing the number of the world's people living in extreme poverty and hunger by half, to  883 million, by the target date of 2015. Most of the world's progress is due to fast growth in India and China, while African countries are behind.

Nicely Done!
Impressively done article. Tadpole256 (talk) 21:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Well done!
Very nice article. I would, however, suggest perhaps giving a conversion of the Japanese yen to Euros or USD. Those who aren't familiar with the Japanese yen might perceive this to be an impossibly large amount, when in fact it's only about $12,000 per household. Nevermind. Someone must have read my mind, because it changed as I typed this. Great article! --SweetNightmares (talk) 19:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Use of Press release promotes the antipsychotic drug Loxapine
It should be noted that the information on Loxapine comes from a and therefore the study was probably funded by the makers of Loxapine. The reader wonders why Loxapine, out of all the s is mentioned. This is promoting Loxapine in my opinion. Regards, Mattisse (talk) 23:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Biased article
This article relies primarily on information from a press release and is a primary source that is not peer reviewed by any publisher or editors. It describes a laboratory study that used the skin cells of four human subjects and was carried out in a petri dish and not on living animals. The findings are very, very preliminary and should not be reported, as they are in the article, with such certainty. And mixing the findings with so many generalities about schizophrenia that have nothing to do with this particular study, have the effect of puffing up the findings to seem more meaningful that they are.

It was funded by several private sources. one of them a pharmaceutical company. It singles out loxapine, a specific antipsychotic medication when there are hundreds. The article never should have been written without access to the peer-reviewed version published in Nature. To use so much information derived from a press release is promotional and results in a biased article. No sources are used that can give a more balanced view to the press release statements.

I removed this sentence from the article: Postdoctoral researcher of the Salk Institute Kristen Brennand said Loxapine can achieve a lot more than they previously realised.

This is what the source actually says: "These drugs are doing a lot more than we thought they were doing," explains Brennand.

Also, the name loxapine should not be capitalized, as it is the generic name.

I have made many other changes to try to reduce the bias, but in my opinion this is a promotional and misleading article. Regards, Mattisse (talk) 10:41, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Dear IP editor, Wikinews has a strict archiving policy, and articles should not be substantially edited after 24 hours since its publication. This article was published more than a day ago, and per policy, it shouldn't be edited. See WN:ARCHIVE. Those reasons don't matter much. The only thing we could do is The article has been discovered to have used very poorly neuroscience terms. or something like that. Cheers. --Diego Grez return fire 01:13, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article as written is very confusing and misleading. It is also biased as it relies largely on a press release from the authors of the study that was partly funded by a pharmaceutical company and promotes a particular drug. The sources the IP added show starkly how a more neutral and informative rendition of the information can be presented. They put the information in context of what the major importance of the experiment was and do  not give a sensational twist to the story to give the impression that a "personalized" drug treatment for schizophrenia is at hand.  And they don't promote a particular anti-psychotic drug.  In fact, the do not even mention loxapine, which the original article as published mentioned twice, once even capitalized. The wikinews article was based largely on  statements from a press release on a study partly funded by a pharmaceutical company. The original version as published did not identify the press release as such. The article also demonstrates a muddled understanding of the neurology involved. I don't know what wikinews policy is in a case like this, but there should be, in my opinion, some way of suppressing, or correctly rewriting a sensationalized and misleading article and not present it to the public as it stands. I edited this article considerably after is was published  to try to reduce the bias, but I did not think I was supposed to find superior sources and completely rewrite an article already published. I have rewritten articles already published in the past, but always using the sources already provided. What are the policies here? Can a published article be withdrawn? Mattisse (talk) 13:27, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Untrue statements
This article contains many inaccuracies:

Example:
 * "For many years, mental illness has been thought of as a social or environmental disease, and many thought that if affected people just worked through their problems, they could overcome them," says Gage. "What we are showing are real biological dysfunctions in neurons that are independent of the environment." (quoted from the press release).
 * “Nobody knows how much the environment contributes to the disease,” said Brennand. from Neuroscience News The wikinews article says Brennand is a Postdoctoral researcher of the Salk Institute who worked on the study.
 * It is still not clear how much of schizophrenia is biological and how much is environmentally triggered. To make a flat statement that it is a "real biological dysfunctions in neurons that are independent of the environment" is flatly untrue. Remember, he used the skin cells from four schizophrenics with "hereditary" schizophrenia. In most people with schizophrenia, there is no history of schizophrenia in the family. Mattisse (talk) 00:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Replace with a retraction notice?
* I think the article's issues can't be fixed. I vote for its replacement with a retraction notice and archival. % Gryllida talk 22:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Citizenship classes?/reply (3)

While many of society's laws are created to prevent people from being offended, for example the, very relevant, law against public nudity in general, I know it is impossible to keep everyone from being offended all the time and in trying to do so society often tramples upon a very basic human right: free speech. These women should be able to express themselves by wearing burqas, just as much as someone should be able to use "foul" language without being in serious danger of law enforcement intervening. I think that people take things too personally and then hand the responsibility of change off to the government. If the people of France in general are offended by the wearing of burqas then they should promote a social movement against it and confront those practitioners in a way in which nothing is obligatory. I think people are involving themselves to heavily in other peoples' affairs, forcing their own beliefs upon them. This type of law making is not a staple of progressive society but instead of "backward" countries like Iraq, or a better example would be the acid attacks in Srinagar, India, force women to wear the coverings. Governments should be protective (from things like war, and environmental destruction) and liberative (enforcing people's rights to do certain things, like women's right to vote), not domineering and controlling.

If the woman's family has been living there for, say, three generations, would you still say that she should go back "where she came from"? What if she is an ethnically French, but has converted? Banning burqa is like banning the wearing of crosses. I'm sure some Muslim-majority countries ban that too, but do we really need to go down to their level?

Former Australian athlete jailed for eighteen years for murdering her baby

April 17, 2011

Former Australian water polo champion, 36, received an eighteen year prison term with a non-parole period of thirteen years and five months after being convicted of killing her two-day old daughter, Tegan.

The Sydney woman had been in custody since December when she was found guilty of her infant's 1996 murder, despite the fact the baby’s body was never found. Lane has repeatedly denied any guilt in the murder, maintaining she gave the baby to its biological father, a man she named as either Andrew Morris or Andrew Norris. Although there were extensive police searches, neither man has been located.

The trial took seventeen weeks.

Around 200 people were present in the New South Wales Supreme Court to watch Justice Anthony Whealy sentence Lane. In his two-hour sentencing remarks, Justice Whealy said he accepted the Crown's claim that Lane had deliberately killed her baby, whom he said had been murdered. "She must have found herself in a desperate situation and could see no way out," he said.

Justice Whealey said that Lane did not have a mental illness; rather she had a  that caused her to feel illogically trapped and isolated. He noted that it was not known how the child died, but said the murder was not premeditated but rather "spontaneous". He acknowledged that she was only 21 when the crime occurred and referred to the case as  "the most profound tragedy" on multiple levels.

Noting that Lane had been rehabilitated and was now  a "very different person", he said, "The testimonials demonstrate that Keli has a unique rapport and successful relationship with young children generally." The judge believed Lane posed no further threat to society and was unlikely to re-offend.

210.2.181.244, please use critical thinking. I won't waste time answering all of your questions and correcting your absurd answers. I'll just answer one: one of the moult differences between Iran and France is that in France, the president was actually elected legally with normal elections where everyone is able to participate. And more importantly, the French president doesn't threat the erase Israel and the US of maps at every other public speech.

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/Citizenship classes?/reply (5)

I don't see how covering their faces entirely is free speech. On the contrary, I am convinced that wearing a full face veil is an oppression of such essential liberty.

In France, it is very difficult to talk with religious groups (of any religion). Talks have been organized (even just a couple weeks ago) on the expression of faith to the public. France has been a secular country since 1905. After the horrors of WWII, it was deemed illegal to explicitly be able to identify one's religion in public (because the Nazis obliged Jewish people to wear a yellow Cross of David and people were obliged to be able to prove they were Christan baptized at anytime, even when just walking in the street).

One of the most famous French expressions is the following (translated to English): "One's freedom stops where starts the freedom of others." This expression is meant to teach one to limit their own freedom in a community and to not abuse of power. Banning expression limiting and often male-imposed full face veils enables two important freedoms:
 * The freedom for the woman to choose her own religion without the obligation of a man
 * The freedom for one to choose their own religion without being influenced by their public surroundings (no visible Christian crosses, no visible crosses of David, no visible full face veils)

In addition, it also put everyone and every religion on the same level of tolerance. As DENDODGE very rightly writes in the "Good!" thread, expecting to be allowed to do so in public is imposing your religious beliefs on others, and should not be permitted.

P.S.: If I had to choose between seeing some naked people in the streets and people wearing burqas, I would prefer seeing naked people. Now that would be an expression of liberty!

Collaborative news on quippd
Hey, I noticed that you are an active Wikinews contributer, and I hoped that you could help out on another collaborative community edited project.

I run quippd, a collaboratively edited social news site, which mixes elements of Wikis, social networking, and social news sites. You can get some more information about what we are doing at: http://quippd.com/about/intro

Basically, we want to get good coverage on news stories, collaboratively edited, just like Wikinews. We are trying to take the ideas of WikiFactCheck -- to make news less biased and speedier (unlike something like Wikinews). By combining social elements to the project, we hope to bring the benefits of wiki enabled fact checking and npov ideas to the masses.

I hope you check us out -- and feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. Even if you don't join, I would highly appreciate your feedback as a Wikinews editor, especially if you have any suggestions to improve wikified news sites like wikinews and quippd.

Here is an example article that we have edited on quippd, just so you have an idea of how we are currently different from Wikinews.

Abducted British girl and mother may be in Toronto
<grin> Thanks for the expansion! The article should have been titled in a way to show it was intended to be a news-short, intended for inclusion in Wikinews Shorts: September 2, 2010. The title probably should have been In brief: Abducted British girl and mother may be in Toronto.

I'm trying to build a process to write very quick, very brief news articles of one paragraph, with the sources linked on the talk page so the Wikinews Short page (where it will be transcluded) won't end up with a == Sources == for every brief article.

As you can see, the news brief is now a full-length article, which is one of the other goals - produce a 'lede paragraph' which could be copy/pasted into a new, full-length article (possibly re-using the title sans the "In brief:"). Now that's it's full-length, though, it should probably be removed from the shorts aggregation article.

It's been a great experiment; thanks for showing me one of the weak points of the process! -  Amgine | t 02:09, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Should be careful in using info from Press releases in a medical article, especially one that promotes a medication
Per Scientists create schizophrenic brain cells, much of that info seems to be sources to a Press release which in most settings, that is not considered an unbiased source. Especially a Press release that promotes a specific medication.

Recent article on Photovoltaic Materials
Hi -- The source is a peer reviewed science journal. There aren't any other sources to cite.

I understand that this isn't allowed by official Wikinews policy, but it does seem logical that peer-reviewed science journals already have had their contents reviewed by (usually) three other scientists, plus the editor before they can be published.

 * I assume that's about Promising New Material for Solar Panels. Neutral point of view means that an article should fairly represent all sides in a news story, and not make an article state, imply, or insinuate that any one side is correct. This is why, though the researchers work to check the paper accuracy, a story has to have a few sources other than the paper before it can be published. Please see Cite sources and NPOV articles for more details. Gryllida 09:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * "New design for thin film solar cells that requires significantly less silicon" may be relevant for the article and help you to write it, however it would need some work to get a few sides of the story presented. Gryllida 09:23, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Query regarding Tasmania pulp mill story
Hello,

thank you for taking the time to review my work. I am a little bit confused about one your comments:

- you stated that I need to refocus the story around a news event, however I am not sure why 3000 people protesting about the pulp mill is not considered news.

- also I added the duplicate story because I couldn't figure out how to change the header. The other header related to a much older version in which I lead with a story about a survey. The updated story was focussed on the protests, and so I thought the title should reflect that

Thank you.

 * Thanks for asking - do you want to rename the page to the new title? Then you can mark the new one for deletion (author request). Then, once the new title is free, make use of the 'Move this page' link to change the header - see . Then the article history will be preserved. If you have any issues, just ask in here. Thanks again! --Gryllida (talk) 13:48, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I'e moved Tasmanians protest against pulp mill to User:Dmessie/Draft1 and Tasmanians unsure about pulp mill to Tasmanians protest against pulp mill. You can copy-paste contents from the first page into the second one if you like. To keep all the article history, please move pages like the Wikipedia entry explains in the future. There is nothing in particular I would like you to address at the page after the rename - just submitting it for a re-review after you update the renamed page is fine.

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

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Experts raise serious questions over safety of U.S. oil industry and warn another spill may be 'unavoidable'

April 16, 2011

One year after the Deepwater Horizon disaster which caused the in the history of the petroleum industry and caused huge environmental damage in the, experts have warned there are serious questions over the safety of deep water drilling as the United States government approves more exploration without improving safety measures.

Scientists have raised major concerns over repeated assurances from the industry and the government, who insist lessons have been learned from the environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. , a professor at, said the oil industry "is ill prepared at the least" to deal with another oil spill. "I have seen no evidence that they have marshaled containment efforts that are sufficient to deal with another major spill," he said.

While the government has implemented new regulations, technical systems for stopping oil flowing from a leaking well, and increased oversight from oil officials, Perrow said had become no less dangerous. "I don't think they have found ways to change the corporate culture sufficiently to prevent future accidents," he said. "There are so many opportunities for things to go wrong that major spills are unavoidable."

Last year,, a scientist at the , said the culture of an "addiction to oil" was ultimately responsible for the catastrophe. "How long must we wait for lawmakers to act to prevent future disasters? How many more lives, livelihoods and animals must be claimed by our addiction to oil?" Greenpeace also slammed, who ran Deepwater Horizon, for how they allowed the disaster to happen. "The age of oil is coming to an end and companies like BP will be left behind unless they begin to adapt now," the organization said.

However, under pressure from industry executives the administration of president Barack Obama has resumed issuing drilling permits. It is understood regulators are still allowing oil companies to obtain drilling permits before reviewing new spill response plans. "I'm not an oddsmaker, but I would say in the next five years we should have at least one major blowout," Perrow said. "Even if everybody tries very hard, there is going to be an accident caused by cost-cutting and pressure on workers. These are moneymaking machines and they make money by pushing things to the limit."

BP has insisted it has changed safety procedures. The oil giant came under heavy criticism for how it handled the crisis, and other major oil companies insisted Deepwater Horizon was a result of a culture exclusive to BP. , the director of the (BOEMRE), the U.S. government agency responsible for regulating offshore drilling, said the view was "as disappointing as it is shortsighted," and the issue of deep water safety was "a broad problem."

The warnings came as it emerged BP had attempted to take control of an independent study into the environmental consequences of the Deepwater Horizon spill. Internal emails expose how BP executives attempted to influence the study, which was funded by a 500m grant from the oil company. The study may be part of the final verdict as to what penalties, fines and criminal charges are brought against the company. Greenpeace, who uncovered the emails through a request, attacked the reportedly unsuccessful attempts to influence the supposedly independent study as "outrageous".

Protesters rallied outside BP's annual conference in London this week, where shareholders met for the first time since the disaster off the Gulf coast. Executives faced questions over their competence and large salaries from angry shareholders, many of whom disapproved of the appointment of as chairman and  as the head of BP's safety board.

Some demonstrators purchased shares in BP in an attempt to get inside the meeting; one woman, a fisherwoman who lives on the was arrested after pouring a black substance down herself at the entrance to the conference centre and refusing to move. "I have travelled all the way over from the Gulf Coast and I just wanted to talk those responsible for destroying my community," she said as she was led away by police. "My community is dead. We've worked five generations there and now we've got a dead community. I'm angry, I've been angry a long time."

Thread:Comments:France first to enforce burqa ban/The Ban

One thing I find even more offensive than France squashing religious freedom is the hyperbolic xenophobia I see in this comments section.

"Like it or go back where you came from" indeed - like it's up to you to declare that people must give up their religious identity in order to escape from an oppressive homeland.

UK to ban export of lethal injection drugs to US

April 16, 2011

Britain announced Thursday  that it will ban the export to the US of three pharmaceutical drugs used for  in executions under the death penalty.

The three drugs are, and.

UK Business Secretary Vince Cable said the order will be formalized within the next few days.

Cable issued a statement saying, "We oppose the death penalty in all circumstances and are clear that British drugs should not be used to carry out lethal injections. That is why we introduced a control on last year—the first of its kind in the world. And it is also why we are now controlling the export of the other drugs used in lethal injections in the US."

Cable said he was requesting all  countries  in the EU to do the same in order to effectively control the export of these drugs.

Britain blocked the export of  sodium thiopental in November after the human rights group  sued the government to stop its exportation to the US. Sodium thiopental had been sold to the in two states, Georgia and Arizona, by a small wholesaler in London. The drug is legally used for lethal injections in the US but is in short supply there.

Pentobarbital, a sedative, is used to control continuous, as well as to treat a variety of other medical conditions. After sodium thiopental became scarce in the US late last year, the US began to use pentobarbital as a substitute.

The said in December that executions in the US had declined in  2010 compared to previous years, partly as a result of a sodium thiopental shortage.

The UK government said in a press release: "Having consulted UK suppliers of these drugs and other interested parties, the Government is satisfied that legitimate medical trade will not be hampered by the decision."

Syrian protests met with crackdown

April 17, 2011

Tens of thousands of Syrians took to the streets Friday in cities across the country protesting for freedom. Syria's official news agency (SANA) reported, "scattered groups of citizens came out to the streets in several areas of the provinces after Friday prayers and chanted slogans calling for freedom without the intervention of security forces." However, protests in reportedly turned violent as security forces were said to disperse the crowds with batons and tear gas to prevent protesters reaching the capital's main square.

"I counted 15 mukhabarat [secret police] busloads," a source reported to Reuters news agency. "They went into the alleyways just north of the square chasing protesters and yelling 'you pimps, you infiltrators, you want freedom? we will give it to you'."

Protests in Syria have intensified since mid-March after families of political prisoners held rallies in Damascus and people in protested against the arrests of more than a dozen children for anti-regime graffiti. The protests continued as Syria’s President, failed to lift the emergency law the country has operated under since his Arab Socialist  came to power in 1963. The Assad government has met protests with a mixture of minor concessions and force.

After a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Berlin, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "The Syrian government did not meet the legitimate demands of the Syrian people. It is time for the Syrian government to stop its crack down on these people and begin to meet their aspirations." Assad met with a delegation from yesterday. The delegation asked for a deadline for their demands to be met. Al Jazeera correspondent Rula Amin said, "It seems from the people in Daraa that the government is seriously trying to contain [the situation in] Daraa because that is where it all started. If they manage to calm the situation in Daraa, the government believes it will be able to contain the situation throughout Syria."

Hi!

I notice quite a few of you registering accounts all at the same time. Good luck with Wikinews! Has one of your lecturers suggested use of this site for any particular reason? If so, you might want to suggest they get in touch with myself, or some of the other administrators on the project.

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 Mysterion. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mysterion~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 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Australian carbon tax plans hit road block

April 17, 2011 Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's plans to implement a carbon tax in Australia have hit a roadblock today with the national secretary of the Australian Workers Union Paul Howes demanding that exemptions be made to certain heavy polluting industries including steel production as well as concerns about whether jobs will be lost.

Steel producing companies within Australia including BlueScope Steel and OneSteel have supported the move by the union claiming that a carbon tax would affect Australian Jobs. Paul O'Malley, managing director and Chief Executive of BlueScope, said that "the tax threat is still real for the Australian Steel industry and for our customers."

Paul Howes told The Australian newspaper that "if one job is gone, our support is gone." Mr. Howes is a powerful figure within the Australian Labor Party who is believed to have been instrumental with the removal of PM Gillard's predecessor Kevin Rudd. Support for the Gillard Labor Government has dropped to an all time low earlier this year, with only a 30% approval rating.

The move by the AWU has been supported by other unions in Australia, including the Transport Workers Union as well as Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.

Australian Defence Force faces a mass of sexual abuse lawsuits

April 17, 2011

The could face a class-action lawsuit in light of recent allegations of a male cadet broadcasting himself having sex with a female cadet to six other cadets at the.

This move is in light of similar investigations taking place in other branches of the defence force including the navy where a man told the Vietnam Veterans Association he was beaten repeatedly on the HMAS Leeuwin during the 1970's. The beatings included being sexually abused with a mop handle according to the man. Advocates believe that the recent sex scandal could result in 'hundreds' of other victims coming forward.

Senator Nick Xenophon has called on Foreign Minister to make inquires into the sexual nature of the ADFA a priority of the government. Mr. Xenophon is also considering a class action on behalf of all victims.

Both the VVA and Mr. Xenophon have called on other victims to come forward.
