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

Hannes Alfvén
The story needs a "news" element. Simply because it was 100 years ago he was born is no reason to publish what amounts to an obituary. --SVTCobra 13:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Abandoned articles
Hi Nakon, when tagging abandoned articles, it is helpful to include a date. This can be most easily be done by adding to the article which automatically adds the date so it can be deleted per WN:PROD. Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I saw the big red "DO NOT USE THE DATE" warning but I guess I didn't notice that it'll work with a subst.  Nakon (talk) 21:48, 3 June 2008 (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 Moofey. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Moofey~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 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Endangered 'Asian unicorn' sighted
Published. Congrats! I did need to do some work on it during review, such as on the attribution. See . --Pi zero (talk) 23:35, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks for your good work in getting this up to speed! The Serbian edition has the story, also.  I especially like the picture they published.  If it quacks like a unicorn ... Fconaway (talk) 07:30, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Sofosbuvir
I'm hoping you'll choose to pick the more-positive suggestions out of the edits/templates I've put on this. You knocked the 'Asian Unicorn' article into shape with a little prompting, and this is obviously something you believe is important to put before the public. It's not intended as a criticism of you that the mainstream have simply said "this drug is wonderful" and, "this drug will cripple you financially"; that 'Doctors without Borders' have "complained" about the price means 'refreshing' the story involves going and asking them about it. Equally, what do the FDA and CDC say about Hep-C?

The news that the FDA have approved a treatment has receded over the 'news event horizon'; it's, now, simply a fact. That makes it, as it stands, unsuitable for Wikinews. However, the experts who can actually provide some insight are no longer being bombarded with dumb questions from mainstream journalists who've skimmed a Wikipedia article. I'm left wondering what the answers to a few questions are, and where that would lead article-wise. For example, "Who has the patent on a treatment that's going to cost up to $186,000?" "Why does this treatment cost up to $186,000?". The missing background in there is "How come Hep-C is a 'silent plague'? Are there no obvious, common, symptoms should prompt screening?"

Decent reporting on medical issues is really thin on the ground. That's where sourcing from stressed journalists who'll buy that a presser says 'this is a scary disease' — but, don't worry — 'we have a very expensive cure', falls down.

Journalism is storytelling, and rescuing this as a news piece will need answers to some of the questions the basic details prompt. "kills more people than AIDS" is almost a 'throwaway' remark in closing, but there is(?) some precedent in the compulsory licensing of hepatitis and HIV drugs. I assume most people are like me, and only vaguely aware of these sometime-legal battles. I'd love to know how the patent-holder breaks down their costs, and justifies their pricing. Without giving hypochondriacs a checklist to take to their doctor: Why is Hep-C so widely undiagnosed? One I always wonder about with many high-price, patented, developments is the "You didn't build that" issue; perhaps best-put as: What basic, publicly funded, research is this built on?

I pulled BRS' 'Fascinating' and 'provocative' piece as an example of where Wikinews' access to Original Reporting (OR) can take a story. That's eleven days after the last mainstream source, but it could just-as-well have been a month later because of what the OR brings to it.

Anyway, merry festiv(whatever), if you want to 'have a go' at rescuing this via OR, let me know. You might-well know a lot of the answers to the questions above; applying NPOV on Wikinews in such situations is going and asking the relevant experts to back you up in their own words. The storytelling is in narrating what you find out, the challenge is in the narrator being 'unimpeachable'. The 'punishment' is defending your approach as being "impartial", having accepted that NPOV is an idealistic, but realistically-unattainable, goal within news-production cycle. A series of compromises, and if you're not upsetting someone it just ain't news. ;)--Brian McNeil / talk 14:39, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Brian, thanks for your kind and encouraging words. Usually, I am a consumer of news reports.  This story, however, seems to have an unfolding character: that is, there's a story within the story.  The specific pharmaceutical news points to a backstory with implications for advances in medical science.  It looks like we may have news before long, so I will continue to investigate the specific areas where news will occur without writing more, for now.  Fortunately, I have no personal interest in the outcome.Fconaway (talk) 21:41, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Good luck with it. I meant "personally interested", as-opposed to a "personal interest" (such as knowing people with Hep-C, for example).
 * We all started out as consumers of news, and writing synthesis pieces starts to give you an insight into where the gaps or holes in a story might be. For this one, I can see a lot of useful background and context that's missing. That's really news, because a large chunk of it is covered by the Orwell quote: "Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations". If you know enough about the subject to ask intelligent questions, I'm suggesting not waiting on mainstream journalists getting around to it.
 * If you need a hand pinpointing who to put questions to — for example, asking the WHO or CDC press office to point us at experts — I'd be glad to help out there.
 * Basically, I agree that there should be further news; you suggest there's more backstory, whereas I'm saying there's a 'politically charged' backdrop. Those are essential ingredients for a news story that will provoke debate and discussion. I just don't want to see it done in the "OMG! Amurikah is evul" sensationalist form that Russia Today might opt for, nor with the "It's a Big Pharma conspiracy!" spin that your average Huffington Post blogger might select. That's going back to being a critical consumer of news; what we've got so-far is the "This development is Good News®™©" spin. Telling the whole story, and giving respect to neutrality, is avoiding the editorialising that it's easy to see in the example sorts of reports.
 * I still question how you can have NPOV in news, but the tradition of "balance" in news isn't working. We end up with crackpots demanding equal airtime, and equal prominence in the news. It is to the benefit of many mainstream news services to perpetuate this, and the 'blogosphere' reaction is often horribly preachy. With the "guidance" of NPOV, Wikipedia made Encyclopædia Britannica obsolete; I don't expect Wikinews to do the same to the NYT, or BBC News, even if we give it a couple of decades. I do hope to see enough intelligent reporting here that those sort of mainstream sources give us some grudging respect. We can't ditch NPOV, we'd get overrun with conspiracy theorists and Truthers; but, you can still find yourself having to defend good, intelligent, reporting against accusations of breaching/ignoring NPOV. You can be left with a hole in a story — if, for example, the pharmaceutical company with the patent declines to talk to you — but, that's their problem, not yours. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:04, 28 December 2013 (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 Ottos-caretaker. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ottos-caretaker~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

About me
My full name is Paul Francis Lammertsma, and I am a 23-year-old computer science student at the Utrecht University in The Netherlands.

I was born in Homewood, AL on 12 August, 1984 and grew up in Hoover, AL. In 1993 my family and I temporarily moved to Vienna, VA for one year where I had the oppertunity to learn more about the U.S. capital, Washington D.C. When I was 11, we moved to Soest, The Netherlands, where I lived throughout high school and the first years of university. Presently, I live in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Comments:Angry driver takes out cyclist pack

I say good on him!!! Cyclist cycle all over the road thinking they own the place and they don't move when you're behind them.

-Whereas I say he ought to be drawn and quartered. Why ever should cars possess sovereignty of the roads, particularly when there are innumerable benefits to cycling (ie, no pollution involved, cheaper road maintenance, increased commuter health)? Besides which, the man was effectively attempting murder, which I understand to be 'frowned upon in most societies'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ytterix (talk • contribs) 02:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Cyclists pay no road usage taxes
Oh, to have an email address to get Jeremy Clarkson to comment on this. :D

I am in Belgium, we have *lots* of cyclists on the road, and, yes, there have been numerous incidents where I have entertained that little fantasy number of mowing them down. They travel at significantly less than half the speed of motorised transport and a disturbingly significant percentage of them have no formal education as to how to be a good road user. Get a group of 20? They think being a courteous road user involves cycling three or four abreast, going 25kph, and taking up more road space than a 40-wheel articulated lorry. Even where there are clearly marked cycle lanes (and Belgium has a lot of them) they will still cycle side-by-side and take up space clearly marked as for other traffic. Then they come up to traffic signals.... It's red! Quick! dodge that pedestrian, mount the pavement, and pretend you're a pedestrian and thus entitled to cross the road. Gimmie a break. If we're talking about a "pack" of 50 cyclists, that is an obstacle that is going to be very difficult to get round. I'd dearly love to see the groups that do this dealt with. No, not by mowing them down, or - as in this case - overtaking them and slamming the brakes on, but by them getting pulled over by the police and charged with causing an obstruction.

All these comments that "cycling is green?" get a grip! how is having a 50 car tailback so you can chat with your mates environmentally friendly? --Brian McNeil / talk 16:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * How is it not environmentally friendly? We should all stick to our foots on our gas pedals and cell phones to our ears right ? 76.100.141.62 19:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if people stopped driving. User:Anonymous101  17:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * With gas prices as high as they are,that might happen.--Ryan524 - (talk) 17:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I think it is quite interesting that if you're a driver and another driver causes a problem you don't suddenly think that all drivers are a problem and should be banned from the road, only that driver. Yet it is frequent that people highlight a few incidents involving cyclists as justification for moaning about them as a group or in Brianmc's case, having fantasies of running cyclists down. Sure there are cyclists that ignore red lights, ride on the pavement whenever and are inconsiderate to motorists who in most circumstances should be allowed to pass easily where possible.

 * I, as both a regular cyclist and driver, do of course get to see both sides of the coin. I don't run red lights on my bike or inconsiderately hold up other motorists although I have been known to use the pavement which is illegal in the UK but the police are meant to exercise a generous amount of discretion. I certainly wouldn't cycle through a pedestrian precinct or whatever but will sometimes consider use of the pavement appropriate on say a fast road with limited opportunities for motorists to pass where it is in an area with very small pavement usage such as more rural areas.

 * One instance where I used the pavement was in the early hours of the morning through a village on the approach to a blind left bend where I could hear traffic approaching behind which would have difficulty passing. It turned out in that instance to be the police! I wasn't stopped however which wouldn't have been too surprising simply due to the time of day, there aren't many people out in the early hours of the morning let alone cyclists. Presumably Brianmc would approve of, shock horror, my use of the pavement in these circumstances.

 * Don't let the bad encounters with cyclists tar the reputation of cyclists as a group. Just as there are many poor drivers, there are many poor cyclists. Adambro - (talk) 20:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * When's the last time a road had to be fixed up due to damage caused by cyclists? oh right never, that's why they dont pay road tax, because the roads dont get damaged by them. ON a similarly stupid no pedestrians also dont pay road tax! get a grip, Clarkson is a complete fool, just watch him sit on QI with noting useful to say outside of his 'expertise' of guns and cars.--82.35.192.193 03:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

KangaRUDE !!
I could see how a guy late for an appointment having a bad day could lose it, when a bunch of cyclists hog the road. They should either make arrangements to close the roads and reroute traffic or travel single file and allow cars to pass.

Besides he didn't hit them, they hit him! PerryO206.24.48.1 —Preceding comment was added at 02:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Price of crude oil reaches new record high

May 9, 2008

The price of oil per barrel has risen to a new all time high. During trading in Asia and in London, England the price of NYMEX Crude oil futures, per barrel, was at US$124.34 (22:07 eastern time) setting a new record high. Brent Crude oil also hit a new record high of US$122.84, but soon retreated to $121.79.

Several factors, including a weaker U.S. dollar and worries on the world supply, have caused the price of oil to skyrocket in the past week.

Despite worries, OPEC states that supply is currently meeting the current demands and there is currently no shortage of oil.

"There is clearly no shortage of oil in the market. OECD commercial oil stocks remain above the five-year average, with days of forward cover at a comfortable level of more than 53 days. US crude inventories, meanwhile, rose by almost six million barrels last week, which is a further indication that oil supplies are plentiful," stated OPEC in a statement on its website.

Comments:Price of crude oil reaches new record high

Rocket on!
The quicker and higher the price rises the sooner the planet moves from a risky fossil fuel based transport system, into a better time and place post-peak oil along with necessary economic contraction, reduced human population and environmental degradation.

The assumption that what follows fossil fuels will be only goodness and light is profoundly glib. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.246.61.1 (talk) 17:57, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you agree that it's fair to say the planet will be better off post-fossil fuels, though probably not humans? Wikidsoup - (talk) 18:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Here is the interesting thing...
Alternatives are STILL more expensive/more difficult to transport/have less energy per unit volume/have much higher upfront cost than Oil.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ethanol is still being subsidized via the federal gas tax (along with many other things). This makes Obama's comments regarding the gas tax even more... well. He's right, the tax brake will have no (direct) impact on me (even though my '94 wagon gets 19 mi/gal and 'recommends' 91 octane), but it will have a huge impact on truckers, many of which have yet to pass on their cost of fuel to their customers.

One must ask (Obama) how roads will be funded when we switch to some magical alternative. In terms of taxes, gasoline is the new tobacco. We can never get rid of it because we are dependent on it for tax revenue. QUINTIX - (talk) 14:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I can't see why you wouldn't want the market to sort this out. To think that government would in any fashion would be able or even competent to solve an energy crisis is rather absurd IMHO. Fephisto - (talk) 21:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I am pretty sure that Clinton, and not Obama favors the gas tax holiday. So your comments are pretty confusing, Quintix. But what were his comments? Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * His comments where that what Clinton and Mccain are proposing (the gas tax holiday) is a political ploy which he opposes. (No citation here again, sorry.) 24.98.235.224 01:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, that's what I knew/thought but Quintix seems so focused on the long-term that I thought Obama might have said something else regarding the future. --SVTCobra 01:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

US denies arrest of al-Masri, al-Qaeda in Iraq leader

May 9, 2008

A day after it was reported by Iraqi military spokesperson, Mohammed al-Askari, that Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri was arrested, the United States says he was not.

Major Peggy Kageleiry, a spokesperson for the US forces in Iraq, said "neither coalition forces nor Iraqi security forces detained or killed Abu Ayyub al-Masri. This guy had a similar name."

When pressed for an answer by Associated Press, al-Askari said, "We called the commander of Ninevah operations 10 times and every time he insisted it was Abu Hamza al-Muhajir because when they caught him, they asked him whether his name was Abu Hamza al-Muhajir and he said yes."

Abu Hamza al-Muhajir is a known alias of Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

Askari added that the commander repeatedly "insisted that it was him, how can we deny him then," in explaining why he told the press yesterday that Al-Masri had been captured.

Myanmar criticised for hampering aid; UN resumes relief efforts

May 9, 2008 The United Nations (UN) is sharply criticising the government of Myanmar for impounding two airplane loads of food aid under the World Food Programme (WFP) and preventing aid workers from entering the country, calling the action "unprecedented."

Paul Risley, a spokesperson for WFP, said that "the food aid and equipment that we managed to get in has been confiscated." The WFP has no choice but to suspend aid, he said. The WFP did, however, announce later today that it would resume aid flights.

"Three flights were scheduled for Saturday but now we have no choice but to suspend food aid until the food in the warehouse is released for WFP to distribute it," Risley told the BBC.

"I emphatically urge the government to live up to the responsibility it has for its people and quickly allow international aid into the entire disaster area," said German chancellor Angela Merkel in an e-mail statement. "Very many people are now dependent on fast aid."

"Myanmar should be more responsive to international assistance but we cannot force Myanmar to do it, we have to respect her own decision," said Noppadon Pattma, the foreign minister of Thailand. "But the Myanmar people should be at the centre of considerations."

"I call once again upon Myanmar's authorities to lift all restrictions preventing the free dispatch of aid by the most efficient channels," said the French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner said in a statement. "The specialized agencies of the United Nations and NGOs must have immediate access to the victims."

Ky Luu, the director of the United States' Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance said, "We urge the regime of Burma [Myanmar] to open up access to all humanitarian actors," at a press conference yesterday.

"The delta region is known as the country's granary and the cyclone has hit before the harvest. If the harvest has been destroyed this will have a devastating impact on food security in Myanmar," said the aid group Action Against Hunger.

Friday afternoon, US National Security Council spokesperson Gordon Johndroe, announced that the US had been given permission to fly in a C-130 Hercules with aid.

"We hope that this is the beginning of a long line of assistance from the United States to Burma," Johndroe told the press. "One flight is much better than no flights," Johndroe said. "They're going to need our help for a long time."
