Parents aid jailbreak of 18 year old Swede convicted of rape

July 20, 2005

An 18 year old Swedish man guilty of rape escaped from the court of appeal in today, in a way described as chaotic.

According to the news agency, the man tried to escape from the custody of the staff of the treatment of offenders. His parents and some friends attacked the staff, and the 18-year-old and an additional 17-year-old managed to escape.

The parents have been arrested, but the young men are reported to be free as of this evening. Both men had been sentenced in the Sundsvall district court, the 18-year-old for rape.

Wikinews:Correction policy

Wikinews observes an ethical imperative of independence, neutrality, truth, and accountability in its news reporting. Central to this ethical imperative is the process of maintaining accurate and relevant information throughout the lifespan of a news story.

While each story is meant to be a snapshot in time, not all information may be available at the time of publication. Some information may change entirely while new information may come to light, materially changing the nature and context of the story. Wikinews should inform readers when a news story significantly changes due to new developments.

Errors in reporting can be made. When they are recognized, Wikinews is obligated to acknowledge and correct these errors in a timely and transparent manner.

Our corrections policy details how we correct mistakes and underscores our commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical journalism.

What is a reporting error?
Reporting errors deal with inaccuracies in factual data, whether minor or major. A minor error could run the gamut from a typo or misspelling to misattributions. They are usually easy to fix and require minimal re-writing of the story. Major errors could be facts taken out of context, reliance on flawed source materials or incomplete reporting (error of omission) which affects the accuracy of the entire article. With a major error, the entire article may need to be scrapped and re-written from the start.

Reporting errors are not the same as bias
Reporting errors concern facts which are inaccurate regardless of the point-of-view of the reader or writer. Errors resulting from slanted reporting or biased selection of sources should be handled with the Neutral point of view policy.

Reporting errors are not the same as wiki errors
Errors in wiki code should be handled by consulting the Style guide.

Fixing minor errors
Minor, non-content errors such as spelling mistakes, typographical errors, and punctuation issues, should be corrected promptly within the first 24 hours after publication.

Once the article is archived, any modifications to address these minor issues must adhere to the guidelines outlined in Section 'Post-archival edits' of the 'Archive conventions' policy.

Fixing major errors
Major errors are substantive issues, including factual inaccuracies, statistical discrepancies, or breaches of policies and guidelines.

Major errors found within the first 24 hours of publication should be promptly corrected.

After an article has been published for 24 hours, specific issues detailing the errors should be cited and discussed in the article's talk page. Resolving these issues will involve collaborative input from a reviewer to determine the appropriate course of action.

Once an article has been archived, corrections must be considered within the context of Archive conventions.

Justification for policy
A corrections policy is fundamental in a journalism organization to uphold the integrity and accuracy of its reporting. This policy ensures accountability to the public and reinforces the organization’s commitment to truth and transparency. By promptly addressing any inaccuracies or errors in published content, Wikinews maintains trust with its audience, adheres to ethical standards, and fosters access to reliable information. Additionally, such a policy encourages meticulous verification processes and ongoing editorial rigor, which are crucial for maintaining journalistic credibility and fostering a responsible information environment.

Talk:New U.S. immigration bill proposes time-limit and employer scrutiny

The headline of this article was "'National ID Cards': the world wonders". Whose nation? Does the world care (I can answer this one - no)? What's the article actually about? So I changed it to something that at least vaguely makes sense... Dan100 (Talk) 21:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't be too quick to assume the bill will go either way. While there is good background, one could state that it is a matter of opinion.  Maybe if the title reflected something like "Many doubt new immigration bill to pass" would better suit the article.  --Mrmiscellanious 21:24, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Low morale reported among U.S. soldiers in Iraq

July 20, 2005

A U.S. Army report finds stress is weighing heavily on Iraq War-era troops with 54 percent of soldiers rating their units' morale as low or very low. This is better than the comparable figure in a year-earlier Army survey. Reportedly, most bothersome to the soldiers was the length of their required stay in Iraq, which was at least 1 year.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said that the Army's 12-month requirement is linked to reorganization. "I've tried to get the Army to look at the length of tours and I think at some point down the road they will," Rumsfeld said.

Canada becomes 4th nation to allow same-sex marriage

July 20, 2005

With a stroke of the pen, Canadian Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin signed into law Canada's controversial C-38 bill, which legalized same-sex marriage in the country. In doing so, Canada became the fourth nation in the world to grant full legal marriage rights to same-sex couples.

The signature came one day after Canada's Senate voted to adopt the bill Tuesday. The parliament's lower house voted to pass C-38 earlier this year. The law makes national same sex marriage rights that are already legalized in eight of the country's 10 provinces.

The other three countries that have similar laws are The Netherlands, Belgium and Spain.

UEFA CL: First qualifying round winners are now known

July 20, 2005

Winners of the first round of qualifications for the Champions League are now known. There are two more qualifying rounds before the competition is taken into group leagues.

One of two games taken into overtime was between Zrinjski and Dudelange (0 - 4, aggregate 1 - 4). In an exciting finish of game in Mostar, Dudelange managed to make up for 0 - 1 loss in Luxembourg when Thomas Gruszczynski scored the first goal of the game in 92', securing extra time. Joris Di Gregorio scored for Dudelange in 6' of extra time, and Gruszczynski sealed the fate of Zrinjski minutes later when he scored once again for 3 - 0. Gaël Hug scored the finishing goal when it was already all over.

Another surprise was Tirana's win at home over Slovenian Gorica. Gorica got into the second game with 2 - 0 advantage at home, but managed to make a complete turnaround and win 3 - 0 in Albania.

All results
* Second leg home team shown first

It will be held on the Wikinews IRC channel #wikinews For more information please see the page on meta The main topics will be audio Wikinews, WNN and portals/neighborhoods It would be great if you will be able to attend. --Cspurrier 15:42, 30 July 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 Gabriel Beecham. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gabriel Beecham~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 23:17, 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) 06:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Wikinews talk:Correction policy

Deletion of Proved-Wrong Articles?
Relates to: Deletion_requests

Do we want to delete articles that have been proved wrong but published at some point?

Some things to consider: Suggested Solution: Creation of a new tag to the effect of "Warning: Since publication of this article, other facts have come to light revealing some or all of the information in this article to be false."
 * 1) We often send articles back to that are POV, factually inaccurate, or insufficiently comprehensive.
 * 2) Future researchers might stumble onto one of our factually inaccurate articles and take it as fact, including it in their papers, articles, etc.
 * 3) We might look better if we delete false stories, because taking those stories off the record would make them unavailable to news analysts who might be forming judgements of WikiNews.
 * 4) We might inadvertantly be contributing to someone's misinformation campaign by extending the effects of the misinformation by holding onto it.
 * 5) We might look bad if someone brought up point #3. (Think "Scandal: WikiNews Coverup!")
 * 6) We might look bad anyways if we keep factually inaccurate articles.
 * 7) Intentionally reporting false news is irresponsible.
 * 8) A date can get put on an article way before its published. It's conceivable to imagine a timeline such as this:
 * Day 1: Article created, wrong, biased, etc. 'ed.
 * Day 1: tag added.
 * Day 3: Information comes out that proves article wrong.
 * Day 2-8: Article is revised, expanded, pictures added etc - ending up in a very nice looking article...except it's still all wrong and was proved wrong days ago.
 * Day 16: Someone comes around and reviews the deletion request, and seeing the date as "Day 1", says that at the time of "Day 1" the information was thought to be true - but the information was written after Day 3. So the Date tag is not necessarily when the information was written down.

-- Ross Koepke Talk 02:45, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Retraction
I suggest that retractions like this one: http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Kanchi_Shankaracharya_Jayendra_Saraswathi_in_custody&diff=156044&oldid=103309 (for more information on this see Jayendra_Saraswathi: informal mediation on sources to be in/excluded) should follow a well-defined format, e.g. have their own section with the header Retraction.

It might be useful to have a Category:Policy Violation to mark articles (even non-editable articles) that appear to be in violation of a policy by adding their talk page to the category. --Fasten 18:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Several of the article tags which might be applied an article, such as (article does not meet Neutral point of view policy) or  (article does not have or may misuse sources), add the article to the Category:Disputed. The use of a disputed category is because "policy violation" is a matter of interpretation.

 * When an article might be tagged with several different Article flags, the usual practice is to put a single tag on the article, and additional issues on the talk page when the article tagger explains why the article has been tagged.

 * Your idea for a retraction template is interesting to me. We also had an article - I believe in August - in which Wikinews (and many other news sources) were hoaxed into the belief Mr. Bush jr. would be attending a convention in Sydney, Australia. I believe a retraction was added to that article; perhaps we could model a template on that. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:20, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I have looked at that "addition" the article, and removed it. Wikinews articles can, and likely will, be incorrect on occasion. Unlike Encyclopedias, news articles reflect what was known or believed about a news event at the time the article was written. When that information is proved to be incorrect, a retraction article (such as you suggest) should be written. Retractions (or updates, depending on how you views news article archives) are news in and of themselves; new information is available about a news event which refutes what was previously known.

 * The Archive conventions are the guidelines concerning archiving articles. After an article has been (or should have been, in this case) archived no further content edits should be made to the article. A link to a retraction article might be added as it is not a content edit. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Correction is apparently used for cases like this, see George H. W. Bush to attend Sydney CEO conference. --Fasten 10:46, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Correction of archived and other long published stories
Reminder for me to fill in something here tomorrow. --Chiacomo (talk) 06:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Reminder for me to fill in something here after I graduate college. —     18:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

We need a formal policy
I believe it is becoming a priority to formalize a correction policy. Increasingly there is consideration for promoting new reviewers., An increase in new reviewers will increase the likelihood of needing corrections. It is neither adequate nor nimble to solely depend on experienced reviewers, especially when the number of active reviewers is low (our perennial problem).

One key issue we've run into recently is how a correction policy interacts with the archive policy. As of this writing, that discussion is on-going for a specific article. However, the problem I think needs to be resolved more generally and permanently, within both the correction policy as well as the archive policy.

Once that issue is addressed, I think we should move forward with formalizing the proposed correction policy. I have, hopefully not too boldly made some changes to the proposed policy. These changes include defining minor and major errors, as well as mentioning the first 24 hour grace-period post-publication. I also removed the recommendation to un-publish the article, as only reviewers can do that on a sighted article.

I would like to do more work on the policy, but I'll wait to see what reception these changes have and how the conversations go here and elsewhere. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 18:10, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I replied to some of the points in the first paragraph when they were raised on the talk page of the Crocus City Hall attack article. Depending on reviewers' experience is exactly how en.wn has long operated.
 * To clarify, since the adoption of the modern review system, no one's been permitted to unpublish articles. An error can be addressed with, for example, a correction, a retraction, or by fixing it. What you're seeing is again that this page was written well before the era of modern review; at the time (July 2005), FlaggedRevs wasn't in place, and any one could publish or unpublish an article at will, just by removing publish. Heavy Water (talk) 18:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Last summer, actually, I was myself thinking about overhauling this and proposing it be made a policy, but I decided we didn't need a correction policy. I can't remember why, but I think it may have been that such a policy may end up largely duplicating WN:ARCHIVE. Heavy Water (talk) 18:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you still think we could largely achieve what we need through only the Archive conventions? If not, what was your main goal when you considered overhauling it? Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 22:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I still think so. I'm open to being shown wrong. I didn't consider the issue with any further depth than "we should have a policy specifying when we issue corrections, why (for ethics, for reputation, to keep ourselves accountable) and how". Heavy Water (talk) 00:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think we need at least a formal and updated guideline for issuing corrections and retractions. I don't think relying on institutional knowledge is effective when we have so few active reviewers. That is especially so when there is only a 24 hour grace period after publication.
 * The guideline would be much more valuable if you were to record your institutional knowledge by heavily contributing to it. We could shift Correction_policy to a guideline and continue that work if it's the quicker/easier route. And then work on updating WN:ARCHIVE so the two complement and agree with each other. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 13:49, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Stores drop game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" after given 'Adults Only' rating

July 21, 2005

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) changed its content rating of the controversial Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game from "Mature" to "Adults Only" on Wednesday. The ESRB change came after a investigation proved that sexual content in the game could be unlocked by anyone with the Windows version or with a modified console.

Graphic sex scenes in the game can be revealed if a user downloads a patch from the internet of the "Hot Coffee modification" or enters codes into a 3rd party modifier such as the game shark. This opens up a locked mini-game that depicts characters as having sex. The secret code as well as the patch is widely available on the Internet such as gamer sites, MoFunZone.com and Gamespot.

In response to this, Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two Interactive stopped making the version of the game with the sexual content and plan to release a "Mature"-rated title in the fall with the "Hot Coffee" content removed.

Game maker Take-Two says the 'game mod' is third-party software that violates the end-user license agreement of the company's intellectual property rights. Citing what the company calls standard industry practice to create content that never makes it into the final version of a game, the sex scenes included in the software, "were never intended to be found."

After the rating change, stores such as Wal-Mart and Target pulled the game off their shelves under their policies not to sell "Adults Only"-rated games.

This controversy has lead to major debate between execs and politicians whether the video game industry should continue to judge itself or not. Many of the watchdog groups were unaware that content like this is usually "locked away" instead of being deleted.

No evidence against London Bombing suspects says cleric

July 21, 2005

Oma Bakri Mohammed, a controversial Muslim cleric living in Britain under political asylum since 1985, has said he does not believe the July 7th London bombers were Muslims.

He told BBC News that there was no evidence the four young Muslim men filmed at a station prior to the attacks were responsible for the bombs. He also condemned "any killing of innocent people here and abroad"

However he said he would not co-operate with police in the search for the bombers and other Muslim extremists, or even when he knew of an imminent terrorist attack.

"I believe co-operation with the British police would never ever prevent any action like this." He said.

Adding, "The youth will leave us. The youth will see us, at that time, the voice, the eyes and the ears of the British government."

"The way to earn the heart of the British youth is by the divine text, to say 'God say it and ... Mohammed say it, Do not attack the people you live among.' Not to tell them, 'Tony Blair say it, the law say it, don't do so.'"

Oma Bakri Mohammed is facing deportation after partly blaming Britain itself for the attacks on London. He also blamed the UK government's "evil foreign policy and the war on terror" for pushing Muslims in "the wrong direction". He has lived in Britain for 20 years, and said he would not resist if he were to be imprisoned or deported.

The cleric also believes Islam does not allow Muslims to fight the people they lived side by side with. "To live among them, and sell with them and deal with them and trade with them and then fight them, that is completely not Islamic."

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo clarifies 'nuke Mecca' comments

July 22, 2005

Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has clarified his earlier statement that "you could take out their holy sites," in the event of a nuclear attack upon the U.S. by terrorists. Rep. Tancredo has refused to make any apologies, saying "When we bombed Hiroshima, when we bombed Dresden, we punished a lot of people who were not necessarily (guilty). Not every German was a member of the Nazi Party. You do things in war that are ugly." However, Tancredo emphasized that he was speaking hypothetically and not necessarily suggesting policy.

The remarks, made in a July 15th radio interview, hosted by Pat Campbell of WFLA in Orlando, Florida, have drawn support from conservatives groups such as and, and have offended the American Muslim community. In the interview, Tancredo discussed his request for information from the Justice Department regarding the claim of evangelical Christian journalist that al-Qaida has smuggled multiple nuclear weapons into the U.S.

Talk:U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo clarifies 'nuke Mecca' comments

How do I clean up the title? -- Nyarlathotep 10:50, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The title mispelling (responces should be responses) can be fixed using ´rename´ but I not sure if that affects the main news page placement.

if he didn't say "nuke mecca" then why is it in the title? if he did, it should be in the article.

Tancredo did not himself actually say "nuke Mecca", but he did in so many words make threats to that effect to galvanize the issue of a US response. The Northeast Intelligence Network focused the news issue around the sound bite. And I believe the double quotation marks usage is a perfect application of it in this particular headline. -Edbrown05 12:45, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Based on my reading of the transcript, it doesn't appear Tancredo advocates nuking anything... He simply said "bombing"... Would a headline such as U.S. Rep Tom Tancredo clarifies statement on bombing of Muslim holy sites work? --Chiacomo (talk) 18:16, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You absolutely correct Chiacomo, I missed that--> was focusing on the Northeast Intelligence Network coverage. -Edbrown05 18:30, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * He said "take out their holy sites" and affirmed that a holy site in question was a city. His later comments have clarified that he was thinking allong the lines of Cold War style M.A.D., which is why he has not appologized.  But your obviously correct that the article should quote the M.A.D. comments to justify it title, I'll do it tonight if no one gets to it first.  Alternatively, using 'bomb Mecca' would allow us to avoid improving the article without creating ambiguity.  I prefer 'nuke Mecca' since it was the subtext all the right wing groups lached onto, and they are a big part of the story.  Anyway, the article is quite fair to Tancredo since it mentions that the comment was made in the limited context of Ferah's christian rapture dreamword.

This title is clearly misleading, it should be "destroy mecca" not NUKE. Funny how you people dont complain about Ted Kennedy's ramblings, only those of conservatives. Wikinews has far to many young liberals, and it makes me sick

Crusades?
President Bush referred to our invasion as a "crusade" years ago. I always said he is a brilliant man with great analytical foresight; plus he majored in history. He is a great and powerful Oz and only now is the direction of his leadership beginning to come into focus(with this story). Paulrevere2005 14:14, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Uh, Paul, George W. Bush failed out of college with a C- average, and can't even pronounce the word "nuclear". -- NGerda 04:17, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Uhh, he did not fail out of college, he graduated, with a slightly higher GPA than John Kerry. And his job is not to be a public speaking professional, its to be a professional manager. By looking at your picture I assume you are a young liberal fool with no understanding of politics, and probably voted for Ralph Nader?

Paulrevere2005 12:03, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Karl Rove & co.'s intentional packaging of W as being dumb is just another lie,pretense, Nick.[]. People forgive "mistakes" (WMD); and by pretending to be dumb, he gets away with premeditated crimes that people would not forgive if they thought he actually knew in advance how the dominoes would fall (Iraq invasion). Bush graduated from Yale with a 77 average ( a B+ by Yale standards)and an 88 in anthropology and philosophy.[], plus he even went on to get an MBA at Harvard[]. He's one smart cookie. His English language garble(in public) is just part of the disguise; plus, it gives him more appeal to the redneck voting block... a "down home" regular kind of fella' package.

Nuke them now
Why wait? The wahabbist in Saudi Arabia have done so much already, that we are justified in turning that entire country into a sheet of glass. Most of you have no understanding of Islam, or you would realize that it is NOT a tolerant religion. How many of you know anything about prophet mohhamed? He was a violent mudering raping illiterate tyrant. -- Anonymous
 * If you use those standards, Christianity is NOT a tolerant religion. Just read the Bible!  A third of the Bible is about God telling the Israelite to slaughter whole civilizations in his name.  -- NGerda 03:19, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * P.S. "Nuke them now" is not very tolerant. -- NGerda 03:21, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

I never claimed to be a fan of Christianity either. Personally I despise most religions. I am also not a very tolerant person when it comes to dealing with those who wish to kill me, because they think god says they should. In those situations, I want to kill them first, because I think I should.

 * "War supporting Christians" is an oxymoron..since Jesus taught "love your enemy", "turn the other cheek" and "violence begets violence". So these folks who call themselves Christian and want to go to war or stay in a war..you know..the "finish the mission" types.. are about as Christian as Judas was. Paulrevere2005 12:19, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Just as militant Muslims are a minority. So punishing all Muslims for any attacks on the USA (or wherever) by other Muslims isn't fair to put it mildly. Remember when Muhammed Ali was asked at the ruins of the WTC how it felt to have the same religion as those who did that, his reply was "How does it feel to have the same religion as Hitler?" Was WW II a reason to bomb the Vatican? Let me refrase that. NUKE THE VATICAN! How does that sound? DirkvdM 13:33:56, 2005-07-25 (UTC)

 * Well, your nuke the vatican comment is quite dumb considering that they don't preach hatred the way Saudi Arabai does, and Roman Catholics are not terrorists. Saudi Arabia is a wahhabist only fundamental islamic state, they export hatred. Since we won't be nukeing them anytime soon, the least we can do is declare wahhabist islam a terrorist orgaization, then destroy all the madrasas in many countries. We should hunt down and kill all those Islamic "preachers" who preach hatred to us. Why not plant bombs in their mosques and give them a taste of their own medicine? Ultimately if it comes down to us vs. them, we can wipe them out. Of course, we need to hurry up and become much less dependent on oil first, so SUPPORT FUSION RESEARCH, SO WE CAN LATER NUKE SAUDI ARABIA!! (by the way DirkvdM, be sure to go there beforehand to be a human shield)

Separate user with suggestion of banning all children from editing this article (those who have chosen to only contribute pejoratives and partisanship over the stated functions of of wiki media in their abuse of this talk page as a message board to spread vitriol and to ensure that the article is not then defaced in retaliation. -NO ACCOUNT

"Christianity is NOT a tolerant religion. Just read the Bible!  A third of the Bible is about God telling the Israelite to slaughter whole civilizations in his name." Yes, the Israelites, namely the Jews. Old Testament = Judaism. New Testament = Christianity (unless you are one of those so-called "fundamentalist Christians" from America or Northern Ireland who find that an intellectually challenging distinction).

As for Hitler being a Catholic...True but then most Nazis were lower middle class Protestants and the Nazis' main conservative opposition from the start was the Catholic Centre Party, so again a little bit of truth thrown into an argument is being used to draw a false conclusion.

The Catholic church does indeed have a great many faults. I don't think that one can really say though that Hitler reflects it's doctrines on social justice. Nor can one compare the "do good to those that hate you" of Jesus to the psychopathic rantings of the Arabian desert preacher. Nor is Christianity confined to one ethnic group. There's no Law of Return to "Christian" states.

Four small explosions strike London's transport system

July 21, 2005

London Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair has confirmed that there have been three small explosions on tube trains at Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush stations, and another small explosion on a No. 26 bus on Hackney Road in Bethnal Green.

The London Ambulance Service has not found any injured people, but one person has reported themselves to a local hospital. It is not yet known if this is connected with the blasts.

All the devices were "conventional" but possibly faulty, and contained no chemical or biological agents. Not all the bombs exploded fully; Bomb Squad officers are working on making them safe. There are no reports of the deaths of suspects who attempted to set the explosives off.

Incidents
A spokesman for Stagecoach said the driver of the number 26 bus travelling through Shoreditch had heard a bang on upper deck, gone upstairs and seen the windows were blown out. The bus driver was very shaken but is said to be fine. Reports of the windows having been blown out have been denied by a police officer on the scene. "I have seen the bus. There were no windows blown out," the officer told Reuters.

One injury sustained at Warren Street tube station has been confirmed by authorities. There have been no other reports of injuries, and authorities are reporting no casualties.

At around 15:25, a man was arrested by armed police in Whitehall, which is cordoned off. A second man was arrested in the Whitehall area around 16:15, but Police have confirmed that this arrest is unconnected with the explosions.

Armed police were deployed at UCL Hospital, near Warren Street tube station, after reports of a suspect entering the hospital. There was speculation that one of the bombers may have been injured and sought treatment at the hospital. A Scotland Yard spokesman had said "We are dealing with an incident at University College Hospital and we have armed officers deployed there. We cannot go in any further detail at this stage." A UCL spokeswoman confirmed that an email had been sent to staff asking them to be on the lookout for the suspect. At 16:00 a spokesman for the Metropolitan police confirmed that the incident was over, but armed police returned to the hospital 30 minutes later to search the premises. Police have now also confirmed this is unrelated to the explosions.

Responses

Prime Minister Tony Blair has cancelled a visit to an east London school and a photocall with visiting Prime Minister John Howard of Australia, instead heading to a COBRA committee emergency meeting. Australian Prime Minister John Howard is in London and is involved in discussions with Tony Blair as this unfolds.

In a public press conference, Blair said that "there appear to have been no casualties", and that he wanted people to "React calmly, and continue with our lives". John Howard also stated that Australia stood by Britain and that people should "beware the minds of terrorists."

Police initially advised against unnecessary travel in London, asking Londoners to keep travel to a minimum and avoid the public transport system. At 15:52 Sir Ian Blair of the Metropolitan Police has asked Londoners to return to their normal activities, including travel. He also stated that some public transport services are not yet functioning.

A release from Scotland Yard stated that there was no chemical agents found after checking the Oval. Investigations at Shepherd's Bush station also confirmed no chemical agents.

Closures
The Northern line, the Hammersmith and City Line, the Piccadilly Line, and the Bakerloo Line have been suspended. Victoria Line and the Waterloo and City Line were suspended but reopened shortly after. Whitehall had been sealed off but reopened shortly after, only to be closed again after armed police surrounded and arrested a man outside the Ministry of Defence, however at a press conference at 17:45 Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said that this arrest was unconnected with the explosions.

Unconfirmed reports
Various news sites are reporting a minor explosion in a passenger's backpack. A BBC correspondent, claiming to have sources working in the London Underground, suggested the explosions were only detonators and that the bombs contained no explosives. It is also believed that reports of gunshots being heard at the stations are mistaken, passengers simply mistaking the sound of the detonators for the sound of gunshots.

A spokesman for London Underground has stated the nature of the incidents is unknown.

Eyewitness reports from Warren Street say that something happened towards the front of the train. The passengers all headed towards the back of the train. As the train pulled into the station somebody pulled the emergency alarm and all the passengers got off the train. There are reports of a 'burning rubber' smell from eyewitnesses.

25% of Shepherd's Bush / Uxbridge Road and all of Shepherd's Bush Green is sealed off.

Eyewitness report of "bang" in a carriage at Oval station. No injuries. After being spotted the suspect fled the station, leaving the suspect package unexploded in a carriage. (BBC News 24)

London Police are not regarding this as a major incident yet. (BBC News 24)

British Transport Police report there has been one injury at Warren Street Station. No details as to the cause and nature of this injury are available, although BBC News are speculating that the injury is to the person who set off the device.

There are reports of problems sending text messages or making calls from mobiles phones on some networks. (O2 confirmed, Orange is fine, occasional text service but no calls on Vodafone) O2 provide communications services for emergency teams across the UK and have previously prioritized their network usage for this use.

Emergency Numbers
''Note: Please don't call these numbers just because you can't get through - some of the mobile networks are temporarily down or disrupted. At the moment the services are saying there are no mass casualties from these incidents (see below).''

 * Central emergency number: 0870 156 6344 (Metropolitan Police)
 * Metropolitan Police: 020 7766 6020 (UK)  +44 20 7766 6020 (International)

Talk:Four small explosions strike London's transport system

Possible Problem with July 7 infobox
I wonder if the July 7th infobox which has been place in the 'unconfirmed reports' section needs some sort of qualification. It, at first glance, could easily be misconstrued as giving information about the events of the 21st as well. - Any way it can be clarified?

Relevance of US Embassy closure?
Not sure how relevant the US Embassy closure is to this story; a good number of institutions in London have closed early for the day. Is there a particular reason to include this one?
 * That's a good point; I'm taking it out. Paulrevere2005 01:19, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Reports of Nail bomb

 * Sky News report suggests nail bomb in Warren St - a relatively minor explosion of a rucksack carried by a man who then "looked dismayed".
 * This could possibly be added in that there is a 'fact' that Sky News reported this.

Mobile Phones
Mobile phone texts blocked?? I suspect its just overload, again.
 * Could be overload but would be a reasonable action if mobile phones are used the same way as in the Madrid bombing.
 * No. The Madrid bombing phones were used as timers, using the Alarm function of the phone. So if mobile phones are used the same was as in the Madrid bombing, shutting down the network would not prevent detonation signals getting through as the device is entirely self-contained -- it would only stop people contacting emergency services.
 * Shepherds Bush (Hammersmith & City) is above ground. Mobiles can get signals. The situation is therefore slightly different and could involve a remotely triggered device to catch police personal checking a supposedly botched attempt.
 * Moreover it is right outside the BBC.

Is there any evedence that phones have been blocks against the lines just being jamed?--80.5.160.6 14:43, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Network providers sometimes make more bandwidth available to the emergency services, limiting public calls (I was told after 7/7). Dan100 (Talk) 17:10, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Small bang
BBC news has just had an intiview with an eyewitness, who says that there was a small bang from a rucksack but it didn't even hurt the guy with it on who ran off the tube and out of the station. And London Police are not traeting this as a majour incient yet.--JK the Unwise 12:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Live report on BBC World Service Radio. --Ómar Kjartan Yasin 12:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

A correspondant on BBC News has reported that sourses who work for the London Undergrond are getting the message that the bombs were fake, with deternators but no explosives. --JK the Unwise 13:17, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I was listening to the same report and it seemed rather more like the correspondant was speculating on the bombs being fake. Certainly no mention of 'fake' devices from the Met.

Bush told
What has the fact that  United States President Bush has been informed of the incidents, according to the White House. got to do with anything?--JK the Unwise 13:54, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a damned good point. I'm going to take it out. Dan100 (Talk) 16:42, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Hospital
Reports of police at ?Warren St following a man into a hospital.
 * Yes I've added it to the rumors. 'Armed police' wearing 'flak jackets' - although the reports do not allow to guess what unit they refer to. I've also read a few things about incident regarding police chasing a man, and/or shooting at a man. 217.206.58.72 14:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Emergency numbers
Should these emergency numbers be added?

HOTLINE NUMBERS:
 * Central emergency number: 0870 156 6344 (Metropolitan Police)
 * Metropolitan Police: 020 7766 6020 (UK) +44 20 7766 6020 (International
 * British Transport Police: 020 8358 0101 (UK) +44 20 8358 0101 (International)
 * Those outside the UK should see the list of Foreign Ministry contact details.

(Not sure there correct they are From the wikipedia article)	--JK the Unwise 13:32, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

They are correct, and I attempted to add them (but failed) Shen 13:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

White powder
I heard reports that the detonated material was a white powder. I can see two possibilities with that; Anybody hear anything either way on this yet? I do not think we should add our own speculation, but should stay alert in this regard. --Maveric149 14:01, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Badly made explosive material that failed to fully explode
 * 2) Some type of biological/chemical material with the smaller explosion aimed at spreading it.

I'm sure that if this was a possibility, the police would not have evacuated anyone who could have been in contact with said powder... Shen 14:12, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Shen is right - people who could be contaminated are contained then de-comm'd on-scene. Dan100 (Talk)

Totenham Court Road
Stand on Totenham Court road long enough and you will see a man being chased by police on any given day! Line deleted.

Breaking News tag
Dan, the Breaking News tag belongs on the article, it's what the tag's for. -- NGerda 16:23, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nick, this is a news service, if we doing our job all news is "breaking". If you want to use this, propose it and get consensus. Dan100 (Talk) 16:28, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

It has existed since the beginning of Wikinews. It is a disclaimer, which we need for an event like this. -- NGerda 16:30, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * The tag is for while the event is still going on, the attacks are over, as are the bulk of the reactions. The story is no longer needs the tag. Even when it was active I do not believe we needed the tag, no other news organization uses  anything like.   --Cspurrier 16:29, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I think I originally made that tag. My original intent was for when all you have is one line of content ("Bomb explosion in London. More to come.") and you want to publish the article. Once there are enough details to make the article longer than a line or two, the tag would be taken off. -- IlyaHaykinson 18:28, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, many news organisations use a Breaking News tag. BBC News (amongst others) use it on both their televised broadcasts, and their web site. Agree that it is no longer required for this article though.--Leigh 08:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Leigh and Ilya are right - the BBC does use a Breaking news thing on their website, but only for the first few minutes when (as Ilya says) there's only a line or so of text and "more to come". So we can use it for that, but take it off as soon as possible afterward. Dan100 (Talk) 09:11, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Original notes
I have just watched the press conference with Ken Livingstone and a police chief. Here are my notes:

Oval lu Warrington lu Shepards bush on surface on no 26 hackney

small explosive devices

investigation changing every few minutes, must keep in mind trial at end of all this

London back in business but several LU lines closed but buses running in both directions

UXBs! some devices are

not all detonated properly - bomb squad working

Q:manhunt? A:not clear,

Q:timing? A:unclear

Q:nail bombs? A:cant confirm nor deny

Q:Other incidents - arrest at 10, UCL A:Absolutely unconnected

Q:Al-qa'da? A:too early. Similar pattern to 7/7 attacks though

Q:Casualties? Bombers among them? A:LAS took no casualty. One possible self-reporter at a hospital, connection not confirmed

Q:Working with foreign intel services? A:Too early

Q:Description of would-be bombers? A:Not yet, 2mw morning

Q:When LU back to normal? A:Nearly. Check TfL website for info. Buses replacing tubes. Bus service normal

Q:bomb in rucsac on persons back? A:Can't get into that level of detail. Lots of speculation around. Met Police only deal and report absolute truths (yay! like us! - Dan100)

Updating article accordingly. Dan100 (Talk) 17:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

homemade explosive
Simultaneous explosions but no effect = A dud batch of homemade explosive. AQ don't have a track record of faking it.
 * At the moment that is pure conjecture. It may well be the case that this is the work of sympathisers or just copy-cats but with no facts adding this to the article would be pure editorial.

Absolutely. It's interesting info, for sure, but on wikinews we must have sources for everything we put in our articles. Dan100 (Talk) 17:57, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia gets CNN broadcast mention
In televised coverage by CNN, a blog coverage report by that news organization talked of the recent 'attempted' London bombings. The report noted the live and on-going coverage by Wikipedia. I think it bows to the more in depth coverage given at Wikis and blogs. -Edbrown05 20:35, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * What I find of particular interest, is that Wikipedia to some extent uses Wikinews as raw material for their own reporting. -Edbrown05 20:40, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * News is first vetted here, then if it makes sense, it gets more rounded coverage at Wikipedia. Is this a bad thing....<--nope. To me it means all people who have an opinion or comment on the news should express it here in this forum, Wikinews. -Edbrown05 20:49, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikinews must be wide open and unafraid of all truthful, bogus, and opinionated reports of persons who express themselves. -Edbrown05 20:59, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You almost make Wikinews sound like a journalistic 'washing-machine'. I suppose thats no bad idea - perhaps one many of us here aspire to.

If you have something new, start a new article
This article should not be changed further - if you have new info start a new article. We're a news service, not an encyclopaedia, so rather than changing existing articles we start new ones. Dan100 (Talk) 08:21, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Crossrail set to only compensate £50 for land rights, London, UK

July 22, 2005

The British Parliament approved the first stage of the new Crossrail underground railroad through London as a £15 billion construction project earlier this month. Crossrail is the first major new train line to be built in London in decades.

The rail line being implemented as a hybrid bill in Parliament. After a second reading in Parliament, it was voted upon and decided that the government will commit to the project so that the line will be built.

The next issue before Parliament of to ensure that the implementation of the bill so it is consistent with private interests of neighborhoods to be affected by Crossrail. This is when residents can petition Parliament to change the way the line is constructed.

As a result of construction of the Crossrail line, hundreds of homes will have new tunnels excavated beneath them.

On contacting Crossrail, they have indicated approximately £50 will be offered to each landowner to buy all the land rights-of-way to build the train tunnel more than 9 meters below the residential buildings. The average value for properties in the affected areas is £350,000.

Under UK compulsory purchase laws to be used in this bill, the residents are entitled to the difference in the value of the whole property with and without a tunnel under it. If the offer given by Crossrail is not accepted by any of the residents, the residents can take the case to the Land Tribunal, where the fair value will be established.

This however, could be cost prohibitive. Crossrail does not indicate that it will attempt to assign a fair value in the original offer and instead is only going to offer around £50 per property in the hope that not many people take the matter to the Land Tribunal.

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

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 Roxeteer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Roxeteer~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 23:26, 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) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
