New Zealand medical student funding to be reviewed

February 20, 2006

The New Zealand government has announced that it will be reviewing funding for medical and dentistry students at Otago and Auckland Universities to certify the institutions' standards and help staff retention.

The dean of Auckland University's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Professor Iain Martin says the review “can’t come soon enough”.

The Medical Students Association welcomes the review. It says that it has been worried about student debt for years "High debt encourages too many graduates overseas, or into high paying areas of practice at the expense of areas like general practice"

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 Tumb. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tumb~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

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

Leader of 1992 pro-democracy uprising joins calls for Thaksin's resignation

February 20, 2006

Major General Chamlong Srimuang, the leader of the 1992 pro-democracy movement that ended Thailand's last military junta, has joined the calls for Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to resign.

Chamlong is expected to join the next anti-Thaksin rally, announced by Sondhi Limthongkul, in Sanam Luang (Royal Plaza) in Bangkok on February 26. Chamlong initially introduced the current PM to the political stage, making his stand against Thaksin all the more embarrassing for the Prime Minister.

The forthcoming rally is expected to have over 100,000 in attendance. The People's Alliance for Democracy is leading the affair with various academic and pressure groups all calling for the displacement of the Prime Minister.

The main thrust of calls for the PM to resign or be impeached are over regulation changes in the telecoms sector that are widely held to have benefitted Thaksin and his family. Changes permitting 49% foreign ownership in the telecoms sector had been implemented for only a few days prior to the Prime Minister's family netting over 70 billion baht from selling their stake in the Shin Corporation.

Washington Post source outed by Slashdot reader

February 19, 2006

The home town of a Washington Post article source about hackers attacking and controlling networks of personal computers to install spyware and send spam advertising was revealed by a Slashdot reader. The reader found meta-data information inside the Washington Post image of the hacker and was able to extract the town entered as the location of the photo. The article in the February 19th Washington Post details 0x80's earnings of around $6,800 a month sending out spam from controlled personal computers

The hacker, calling himself "0x80" agreed to be interviewed for the Post article under the condition that he not be identified by name or home town.

After a link to the article on Slashdot, a reader uses the IPTC information encoded into the image to learn the location entered as part of the picture's metadata: Roland, OK. Posters on Slashdot said that the Washington Post removed the image in an effort to contain the damage.

The Washington Post has not commented on if this will instigate a change in their use of meta information for undisclosed sources.

I hope you can add some content to the India WikiBureau, and help get a team going there! Srinivasasha 15:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-n-paste versions of articles which are published under a restrictive copyright. A copy and paste like that is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase those even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases. Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources.

Thanks again! --Deprifry|+T+ 20:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Just drop me a line if you need help. --Deprifry|+T+ 09:30, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Government of India page
while redirects are cheap, this page doesn't appear to be all that useful to me (it was once deleted for the same reason, if i remember). the chances of someone turning up on wikinews and searching for "Government of India" (pretty much the only reason i can think of, for the page to be created) seems pretty remote, especially given that regional and topical portals are present and prominently placed in the main page. perhaps u can explain why you think creating this page is a good idea. Doldrums 17:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * hi Shyam, if u think the page is needed, i 've no problems with it. it might be useful, though, to leave a note on the page's talk explaining its purpose so that others know what's going on. cheers, Doldrums 14:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

copyright infringement
reg. Mukherjee sends message to neighbouring countries for "tension-free" border, note that slightly rewriting and reordering paragraphs in a copyrighted work is not an acceptable way to write for wikinews, such articles remain copyright infringements. please gather infromation from multiple sources and rewrite them in your own words, ensuring that ur coverage of the event does not closely emulate that of any of other copyrighted news report.

please be careful about this. publishing copyright infringements on Wikinews is a big no-no. — Doldrums(talk) 08:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * note that u can't have a copyright infringement in your user space either. please rewrite this article if u want if around anywhere on wikinews. i suggest u a retain a copy of this article on ur computer for use while rewriting it. i'll be blanking this article or deleting it as a copyright violation soon. — Doldrums(talk) 09:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * where does DD say that it is releasing this article into the public domain? — Doldrums(talk) 09:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * first, this is a PTI report being republishing by DD and PTI reports are copyrighted. secondly, i doubt that the RTI act has released all DD work into the public domain. pls source this, the WP link to RTI act u provided has no mention of this supposed largesse. — Doldrums(talk) 09:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * the slides u point to does not make any reference to licensing of DD's work that i could find. also, much of the article as written now, is copied from a PTI report published on the Hindu, both of which clear copyright notices on their websites. — Doldrums(talk) 09:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

The article u posted to wikinews is almost identical to the Hindu article, which attributes the report to PTI, and the PTI report can be seen here. both of them have copyright notices. end of story. if u believe that both copied the work from DD and DD releases its work into the public domain, then u'll have to show a similar license notice on DD, which says DD reports are released into the public domain. i see no such notice on the DD News website. — Doldrums(talk) 10:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I'm butting in here, but I belive a request has to be made to the Public Information Officer before any government information can be accessed under the RTI Act. Even otherwise, the Act mentions that information including commercial confidence, trade secrets or intellectual property, the disclosure of which would harm the competitive position of a third party, unless the competent authority is satisfied that larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information. So in this case, since we are a "rival" agency to DoorDarshan, we probably can't use their material without compromising their interests, especially since we do not have the permission of a "competent authority"-i.e whichever official is in charge of DD. I look forward to working with you on Portal:India, feel free to drop me a line if necessary. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) [[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 05:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Main Digest
The "Main Digest" section is present on other WikiBureaux too, but none of those that I checked seemed to have expanded it. I assume that it is meant to be a collection of stories, but that is already available at Portal:India. We could probably ask Doldrums, since he is more familiar with these aspects of Wikinews. Thanks for asking DD for permission, it's likely that they'll oblige since we are a non-profit organisation anyway. In the meantime CNN-IBN's online site should be useful as a source. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) 11:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Digests are compilations of news reports for a week/month...etc (depending on how few or how many articles on a topic are usually published). Weekly digests would be great for readers who find Wikinews coverage too sketchy to use as default, but wld like to drop in once a week and see what we're upto, but monthly coverage wld be easier to maintain.

 * with the current implementation of WN:DPL, digests are going to be pretty hard to maintain, i think (the main digests use a bot (Craigsbot) to do some messy stuff). — Doldrums(talk) 04:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * the dpl's have to be written in the form

category=September 1, 2006

category=September 2, 2006

category=September 30, 2006

 * for each month - not impossible, but not "elegant" either.
 * articles are not protected for atleast 10 days after publication, and remain protected from then on. — Doldrums(talk) 08:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 * the section for listing problems with archived articles is Admin action alerts, which is what is linked to, in Template:Archived. — Doldrums(talk) 15:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 * fixed. thanks for spotting this and bringing it to our attention. — Doldrums(talk) 15:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: My points in the contest
Hello there! Unfortunately, since three of the articles you wrote were before the contest, they do not qualify for points. Additionally, since the image of the Bombay stock exchange existed on Commons for over a year, you cannot really be credited for taking the picture. In any case, in the future, just mark your log over at User:Messedrocker/Contest. —     11:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Bombay Sensex article
there are many sentences in the article which are copied verbatim from several sources, not just the E-times. i've listed some of the others on the article's talk page. copying phrases, sentences and paragraphs from other copyrighted sources is a big problem, as has been pointed out a couple of times above. always write the article on ur own, using information from other sources, but not the organisation of the info and the manner of expression used in the sources.

tagging as copyvio is even less done after discussion with the original author than other tags (adding tags themselves is a way to initiate discussion, note!). once an article is suspected of or identified as a copyvio, it must be tagged and deleted quickly, or, i understand, there will be legal problems in store for wikinews. and that's what i've done.

finally, the article really needs to be written afresh, as most of it uses sentences from other sources, which is unacceptable. u can also get a couple of others' opinion on this, if u like. — Doldrums(talk) 20:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Delhi sealing article
the article Sealing in New Delhi put off until Monday reads "The opposition parties opposed the HC notice". can u please point out the source for this statement. i couldn't find it in the five sources and the reference numbered 5, but didn't find it. — Doldrums(talk) 20:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * i don't see anything in the source u pointed to, to support the statement that the opposition BJP opposed/did not agree with the HC notice. The article titled " MCD passes resolutions for deferring demolitions" in the Tribune deals with the BJP's opposition to a resolution passed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, not with opposition to a high court notice. — Doldrums(talk) 21:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

i don't see how the sentence

means "The opposition parties was not agreed with the HC notice".

if this statement can't be sourced, then put a note on the talk page about this and i'll post a correction to the article. — Doldrums(talk) 21:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

 * any progress on this yet? articles which report incorrect or unsourced information need to fixed. and fixed as soon as possible. — Doldrums(talk) 15:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

 * the BJP does not oppose the Master Plan 2021. the source u added does not bear out that statement. please word statements carefully and ensure that they are borne out by the sources. if articles are published for many days and need a correction, then they are corrected using the correction template, not by modifying the published article itself. if u can't find a source that supports the initial statement, that the Opposition opposes the court directive, find a source which  clearly points out the opposition's view of the HC notice and post it on the article talk page. i'll place the correction notice accordingly.  — Doldrums(talk) 16:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * have issued a correction. check if it's ok. — Doldrums(talk) 19:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * it's sourced from the Tribune article (ref #5) already listed in the article. — Doldrums(talk) 19:27, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Mrmiscellanious/Opinions

'''The following are my opinions and beliefs on some controversial issues in the news today. Keep in mind that these are in no way associated with the views held by Wikinews or the Wikimedia Foundation, and I, user MrMiscellanious, take full credit and responsibility for what is posted here.'''

I stole this idea from NGerda (who probably stole it from someone else :P), however I believe it is important for Wikinewsies to express their opinions and beliefs in an open fashion in order for better attempts of reaching NPOV for the community, and as a way for others to get better acquainted with the user.

To request my opinion on an issue not seen below, or to start a discussion on any of the topics, please use this page's talk page.

Religion

 * I am a strong believer in Christian worship, and furthermore a Protestant Lutheran. The only religious book I follow is the Holy Bible, which I follow in whole.

Wikinews

 * I believe that Wikinews is a great concept, however I am disgusted in the lack of neutral point of view articles. While we are the only news source trying to make a difference in this field, it seems as though our progress is lacking.  More attempts need to be made to keep the stories straight and not lean to any side.

Wikinews Community

 * A very wise wiki-Philosopher once stated that "Wikinews is not about articles, but about developing and maintaining an online community" . Although some users have used this as an attack against the user, it brings great credence to the fact that this is a collaborative project, and without a community that understands all of its users, our articles don't mean a thing.  With the absence of a community, there are more disputes abroad, and writing articles will suffer because of it.  In my opinion, we should be viewing these words as guidelines for the whole wiki to view.

Abortion

 * I believe in pro-life causes and movements, and wish that others do not deny the unborn a right to grow and continue their lives.  As soon as the sperm meets the egg, life has began - and anything anyone does to prohibit that life from growing is commiting murder.  I do find a cause to perform an abortion, if the mother's life is in danger of being delivered either naturally or by C-section.

Flag Burning

 * I believe others should have a sense of patriotism of their nation, however if they do not, I wish that those persons would respect the views of those who may see burning of a certain flag as offensive. Freedom of speech pertains to speech, not actions.  As such, I believe offensive acts shouldn't be deliberately performed, and therefore I shall object to the burning of any nations' flag in any territory.

Firearms

 * I believe there is a fundamental reason for the founding fathers of the United States to give us an amendment right to the ownership of firearms. Myself a hunter, I believe guns should be allowed to anyone who hasn't committed a felony or a dangerous misdemeanor.  Furthermore, I find the restrictions set on purchase of handgun ammo in the state of Michigan to be useless to restrict those under 21 from purchasing the ammo.

Legalization of cannabis

 * I do not believe that cannabis should be legal within the United States for recreational use.

Stem-cell research

 * I believe that stem-cell research can be extraordinary to the advancement of medical procedures, however I disagree with the way that many stem-cells are being donated. If a stem-cell operation can be done with the persons' own cells, and not involving any aborted fetuses, I do not oppose any said procedures.

Homosexual relationships

 * I do not believe in the sanctity of homosexual relationships. As stated in Genesis chapter 2 of the Bible, God created woman to be as a companion for man, and to be the only companion for man.  Therefore, I do not approve of homosexuality and do not believe in it to be a chaste way to live life.

Homosexuality and marriage

 * I do not believe that homosexual partners should be granted the right to marriage, as explained in the Bible on Genesis 2:24 (KJV): "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." As marriage is an institution by God in my views, and not a legal issue.

Separation of Church and state

 * There has been a demise in family and values simply because some members like to associate them with a political side. Therefore, a separation of church and state is important - however small items (like the display of the 10 commandments in courts) should be permissible.

Terrorism

 * I do not believe in the passion of killing many to prove a point. Terrorism is an issue that the whole world deals with, however it doesn't have to be that way.

War on Iraq

 * I believe the US should continue to occupy Iraq until the country can be stabilized into governing and protecting itself, and that people shouldn't force the process along.

Extraterrestrial activity

 * I believe there is a highly-secure military base at "Area 51", however I do not believe in the Alien conspiracies about the area. Additionally, I do not believe there was any extraterrestrial activity at Roswell, New Mexico in the 1940's, nor any other "UFO sightings" that have been acclaimed by people.  My explanation is that other human beings that like to pull pranks do so on unsuspecting persons and result in these claims.

Pittsburgh's Bettis to work as NBC studio analyst

February 20, 2006

Jerome Bettis, who announced his retirement from the Pittsburgh Steelers on the night they won the Super Bowl XL in Detroit, has been tapped as a studio analyst at NBC. His first game in the broadcast booth will come September 7th, on the same night the Steelers will receive their Super Bowl rings. "It will be the proudest night of my life," Bettis said. "I will finally get my ring and I will start my new career in television in front of all the Steelers fans."

Bettis, a Notre Dame graduate, began his career in 1993 with the Los Angeles Rams, but was picked up by the Steelers in 1996 and became the NFL's 5th leading rusher in Pittsburgh.

Talk:United States to expand 'information operations' against terror

Editorial by 129.81.185.26
"Many have said", "generally known", "Some think", "The critics", "They cite", "kind of forced" are some examples of vague references to "them". The last paragraph isn't much on information, but instead reads more like an editorial. Would anyone like to re-word some of this? I certainly think the last paragraph needs re-working. Karen 01:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Many have said that this type of operation is generally known as propaganda. Some think that what was said, by Vice President Cheney is a euphemistic way of saying that the US government will be writing the news stories in the countries that they have recently conquered so that their heinous crimes, such as torture in military prisons or bombings of peaceful civilians will go unnoticed by the general public. The critics also say though, that the blame cannot be put totally on the Bush administration, as this type of propaganda is an integral part of all fascist police states, and is already taking place all over the world anyhow. They cite Wikinews versus corporate news and have shown a stark contrast between the information posted on the two sites. In defense of their actions, corporate sources have stated that if they didn't cover up what they were doing, there would most likely be an uprising, so they are kind of forced to do it out of necessity - if they didn't have to lie to people, they most certainly wouldn't.

I've removed it from the story for now. Karen 01:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

propaganda
The "P" word is what this article is about. Carrying the fight in the media. How long will it take (or is it already happening) until lies over-take the truth? -Edbrown05 06:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A famous U.S. politician, Tip O'Neal, once said, "All politics is local." In answer to that, all news is local. I really believe the emergence of the Internet will allow any individual to report on their local news event. In the end, this should keep news honest, if Wikinews is up to it. -Edbrown05 06:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

the fascist empire of the totalitarian states
it has just begun and is yet to decline.

RadioShack CEO resigns

February 22, 2006 CEO of RadioShack Corp., David Edmondson resigned Friday after admitting to lying in the contents of his resume. Claiming to have two college degrees, a theology diploma called a ThG, and four years of education, Mr. Edmondson only attended two semesters at a college known now as Heartland Baptist Bible College (formerly known as Pacific Coast Baptist College). There are no records of any diplomas issued to Mr. Edmondson. These discrepancies caused Edmondson and the board to mutually agree to his resignation as president and CEO of RadioShack. Initially, RadioShack launched an internal investigation of Mr. Edmondson's statements; however, this investigation has since been halted.

The company had recently suffered a drop of 62% of net income in its fourth-quarter, prompting restructuring plans and a closing of up to 10% of stores.

David Edmondson will receive a severance package valued at less than one million dollars in cash from RadioShack.

2006 Algarve Cup Preparations

February 19, 2006

Teams are preparing for the 2006 Algarve Cup international soccer tournament, March 9, 11, 13 and 15. The annual women's invitational, held in the Algarve region of Portugal, features some of the world's top teams and may foreshadow face-offs in the 2007 Women's World Cup. The United States women's national soccer team, champions in four of the last six Algarve Cups and second ranked in the world, will join the number one ranked Germany at this year's competition. The three "groups" of four teams who will play each other at the beginning of the tournament have yet to be finalized. However, it's been reported that the U.S. will be in a group with France, Denmark and China. The U.S. recently beaten China and tied France to win the 2006 Four Nations Tournament.

Teams with the luxury of being full-time players (some women professional athletes must keep regular jobs) will take a break from training before they begin arriving in Algarve next week.

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

Australia sends more troops to Afghanistan

February 21, 2006 The Australian government has confirmed it will send an extra 200 troops to Afghanistan as part of a security and reconstruction team. Prime Minister John Howard says troops will leave from late July and will spend about two years in Afghanistan separate from the Special Forces and commandos already serving there. In a press conference in Canberra today, Mr Howard said the deployment was "further evidence of the government's ongoing commitment to assist the people of Afghanistan in consolidating their embrace of democracy and resisting any attempt on the part of the Taliban to come back."

The Australian Greens oppose the deployment of new troops. In a press release, Senator Bob Brown voiced his opinion on the matter, and said the following about Australia's deployment: "The announcement that Australia will be sending 200 more troops to Afghanistan comes hard on the heels of the Bush administration announcing the withdrawal of 3000 troops from the same theatre," he said. "Without the US withdrawal there would be no Australian deployment. This is John Howard once again using the ADF to meet the Bush administration's political shortcomings. Our troops should be kept at home."

"The ADF contribution will be a mixed security and reconstruction taskforce of approximately 200 personnel and will be deployed over a period of two years," Howard told reporters. The Australian Defence Force (ADF) troops will be deployed from late July and work alongside Dutch soldiers as part of a NATO force. The extra 200 troops will bring the number of ADF personnel to more than 500.

Australia sent 1,550 troops to Afghanistan in 2001, including special forces, to join the U.S.-led strikes against the Taliban regime. Australia's only fatality in Afghanistan came in February 2002 when a soldier was killed after his vehicle hit a land mine. Violence has intensified in Afghanistan in recent months, particularly in the south and east, with a wave of raids, roadside and suicide bombings killing dozens of people.
