Comments:Toads cause traffic jam on British Columbia highway

This reminds me a bit of Alligator Alley in Florida. Fences work much better with Alligators, however.

Familiar
Were I live, Canadian geese lead their chicks through roads all of the time. Contralya 01:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Just how do 'tadpoles' walk on dry land?

Fishy
Tadpoles have no legs and can't breath out of water.

So unless the road was flooded... Sounds fishy to me.

--Quatermass 20:19, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

they said toadlets not tadpoles

tunnels under the road
I dont remember where but they make wildlife tunnels under roads

Tadpoles??
Sorry but the main article quite clearly says 'tadpoles' in several places.

i.e. 'According to the Canadian Press, the recent tadpoles also' and 'so the tadpoles jump' and 'The tadpoles were described as brownish'.

Perhaps you need to read it again?

--Quatermass 09:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Wrong terms
Tadpoles can't exist out of water so the writer of this article is very mistaken or they need to change the word tadpole for toadlet (young toad). --Quatermass 09:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments:Heart specialist suffers heart attack in front of thousands of colleagues

One of the most ironic things in the world, this should get a mention at Guinness World Records, 'Ripley's Believe it or not', or the Darwin awards. I mean, holy smokes! Contralya 01:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * But her heart attack was caused by a congenital defect, so it ain't her fault. MessedRocker (talk) 01:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I know that, but still. Though it would be even more reason if it weren't, it is still pretty ironic and more... A heart specialist with thousands of heart specialists, working on preventing heart attacks, has a heart attack. Though with that many people, the odds aren't TOO low of this happening, it is still really neat. 03:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I think what MessedRocker was getting at is specificaly for the Darwin Awards - would fail the 'self-selection' critereon. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:19, 4 September 2007 (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 Sujay. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sujay~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 23:33, 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) 06:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Belgian justice prosecutes Scientology

September 4, 2007

The federal prosecution in Belgium has finished an investigation into the activities of the Scientology Church in the country, and is planning to file a lawsuit against the Belgian and European sections of the religious movement, and 14 individual members.

The inquiry began in 1999 after some former members accused Scientology of swindling. Now, the prosecutor has finished the inquiry. The accounts against Scientology and some of its members include blackmailing, swindling of its members, breaking trade and privacy laws, unlawfully practicing medicine, and forming a criminal organisation.

If it comes to a trial, it would be the first time the movement is prosecuted on this scale. In some countries Scientology is recognised as an official religion, and Scientology has celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta as followers.

Members follow expensive trainings for their spiritual development, but some accuse Scientology of manipulation and brainwashing. The Church has come under controversy before with a wide variety of accusations, including a variety of criminal charges such as in 1978 when prominent members were caught engaging in wiretapping, and stealing documents from United States Internal Revenue Service. Yesterday, the European bureau could not give a reaction to the Belgian press. In the past however, the movement has repeatedly denied allegations against it.

These people are finally getting what they deserve. They've dug their graves and now they have to lie in them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.251.164 (talk) 07:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Why prosecute
It seems slightly unfair to prosecute scientology. Sure, they have different ideas to us and they are trying to make money but I see nothing wrong with that. I don't think that scientology is a religion, I tiink it is a for profit company, which I happen to disagree with, but, in our society, there is nothing wring with making money. Making money is all scientology are doing. Sure, it may be unethical but what right do we have to intervene.--A101 - (talk) 09:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There are many reasons why one could come to the conclusion that Scientology, or to be more accurate, its official church, should be prosecuted. The first that springs to mind is the "disconnection" policy/practice. CoS members are expected to sever all ties with family members who they cannot convince to also join the church. Sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, even parents; if they're a risk of trying to talk you out of being a Scientologist you should have nothing to do with them - or so the church asserts. Second, and possibly even more worrying, is their stance when it comes to medicine. They actively seek to demonise psychiatry, they regularly attempt to draw parallels with it and the regime of Adolf Hitler, and if you join them and admit to taking something like antipsychotics or antidepressants you'll be offered one choice: flush them and go through cold turkey. This bullshit is why one of the reasons they have been prosecuted in the past is for practicing medicine without a license. I've even heard of cases where ignorant Scientologists have convinced new recruits to stop taking medicines to control their blood pressure and thus put them at risk of dropping dead. When it comes to them making money, look into the backstory behind them getting tax exempt status in the United States. They harassed the IRS, stalked its employees, infiltrated the organisation, and destroyed public records. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Scientologists
Several of my friends are Scientologists and I consider them among my best. They are honest, hard working and have a genuine concern for the well being of those around them. I would be suprised if the Belgium Scientologists are actually acting criminally assuming the Belgian Scientologists are like my friends. I am proud to count Scientologists among my friends even if they act a bit abnormal at times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.58.85 (talk) 05:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not a big deal. We've had horrible flooding this year which has caused bugs to breed in ridiculous numbers.

Hurricane Felix makes landfall in Nicaragua

September 4, 2007

Hurricane Felix made landfall in Nicaragua on Tuesday. It reached shore as a Category 5 hurricane, the strongest level of such storms. Within hours, winds had weakened considerably and Felix became a Category 1 hurricane as it moved inland. There remain concerns of potential mudslides due to the heavy rains which continue. From Nicaragua, the storm system appears headed towards Guatemala and Honduras.

Band manager Daniel Biechele shown parole support by families of victims of the Station nightclub fire

September 4, 2007

Families of victims of the Station nightclub fire, which killed 100 people on Rhode Island in 2003, have expressed their support for the parole of Great White band manager Daniel Biechele, currently 16 months into a four year jail sentence for his role in the disaster.

Biechele admitted to illegally setting off the pyrotechnics that started the fire, and broke down as he told victims' relatives that he couldn't expect their forgiveness. He has been jailed since May 2006.

The pyrotechnics ignited highly flammable soundproofing foam in the nightclub, and the ensuing rapid conflagration trapped people in the building. Many families have expressed their belief that venue owners Jeffrey and Michael Derderian maintained the building in an unsafe state. Michael received another four-year sentence but is not yet eligible for parole, while Jeffrey avoided prison time.

Leland Hoisington, whose 28-year-old daughter Abbie was killed in the fire, told reporters "I think they should not even bother with a hearing _ just let Biechele out... I just don't find him as guilty of anything." The state parole board received approximately 20 letters, the majority of which expressed their sympathy and support for Daniel, some going as far as describing him as a "scapegoat" of limited responsibility.

Board chairwoman Lisa Holley told journalists of her surprise at the forgiving of the families, saying "I think the most overwhelming part of it for me was the depth of forgiveness of many of these families that have sustained such a loss,".

A letter written by Dave Kane and Joanne O'Neill, parents of youngest victim Nicholas O'Neill, released their letter to the board to reporters. "In the period following this tragedy, it was Mr. Biechele, alone, who stood up and admitted responsibility for his part in this horrible event... "He apologized to the families of the victims and made no attempt to mitigate his guilt," it said.

Others pointed out that he sent a handwritten letter to the families of each of the hundred victims and that he has a work release position in a local charity.

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 MikeGreen39. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name MikeGreen39~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 deleted article
Hi there. I see you're upset that your article has been deleted. I'd like to point out that Wikinews has a policy of immediately deleting violations of copyright. The problem is, you're putting text in one of our articles that has been published elsewhere. So we have no indication that you wrote this text originally, or still own the copyright to it, we cannot accept your submission.

If you'd like to write the article again, this time without the copyrighted text, please do so! We'll gladly help you out.

Thanks. irid:t 14:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologize if someone accused you of writing spam. Note, however, that we use "spam" in a couple of different ways on this wiki. For instance, my edit summaries where I reverted your edits to two talk pages included "revert spam". In this instance, I used the word "spam" to mean something that was posted in several places without significant modification.
 * I want to point out that what you're writing borders on harassment of our users. Please keep your talk page edits limited in their scope.
 * If you'd like to work with me on this, please collaborate with me on my talk page. I'll help you get your article published on the English Wikinews. Thank you. irid:t 15:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Feel free to write on either talk page. :) Here's what I would suggest: As long as you're typing in the box, rather than copy-pasting, you're probably fine! You can use all of the same sources as your original article, and even cite your article as a source. Keep in mind, however, that we have a policy of citing multiple sources soas to maintain balance. (We have to assume that a single source article, no matter how well written, cannot be balanced).
 * Also, because this is a wiki, don't be offended if someone sails in and tags your article with cleanup, NPOV, sources, etc. Don't worry about it. The only thing you need to be concerned with right now is avoiding the copyvio. :) I'll help you with anything you need, just drop a note here or on my talk page.
 * (By the way, I can instantly see anything you write on this wiki, so it doesn't matter where you type, I'll see it.) irid:t 15:36, 5 September 2007 (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 Minh tuan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Minh tuan~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Police discover five bodies in Victoria, Canada home

September 4, 2007 Police in, British Columbia, a suburb of the provincial capital , report that five bodies were found in a home after having been summoned there on a 911 emergency call.

The 911 call came in at approximately 3 a.m. local time, but police were not able to enter the home until 9 a.m. as they believed "there was a barricaded suspect in the home and information possibly that there may be a firearm associated [with] the home." Police later revealed that no gunshots were involved in the crime.

Five bodies have been discovered: a six-year-old child and four adults. stated that one of the dead may have been responsible for the deaths. “At this stage we’re not looking for anyone outside the home,” said Sgt. John Price, Saanich Police. In a press release Tuesday, Saanich Police stated they believe that the crime "was not a random attack and that the suspect and the victims were known to each other."

Rose Stanton, Regional Coroner for the area, indicated that other crime scene investigators, including blood spatter experts, had been summoned. Stanton also said that the bodies would not be removed from the house until sometime on Wednesday. Commenting on the question of why blood spatter experts have been called in, Stanton told reporters, "Use your imagination...it's bad, for 30 years of doing this, it's bad."

There was some indication that an was found at the crime scene. "There may have been an attempt to set fire to the residence," said Regional Coroner Stanton. "There was some flammable material involved."

Neighbours in Oak Bay say that the family that lived in the home consisted of a couple in their thirties, two young children, and a mother-in-law who recently arrived from Korea.

Adventurer Steve Fossett missing

September 4, 2007 Adventurer Steve Fossett has gone missing over western Nevada. He took off in a single engine plane Monday morning, planning to return around noon, and has not been seen since. Reports say that Fossett was flying to look for a suitable site for his planned land speed record attempt.

Fossett took off in a single-engine Bellanca Super Decathlon at around 9 a.m. local time Monday (16:00 UTC) and was to return around noon. When he failed to return, his family alerted the authorities, and a search was started about 6 p.m. local time (01:00 UTC Tuesday), involving the Nevada and California Highway Patrols and the Nevada Air National Guard. Fossett only had enough fuel for five hours of flight, at the most, but was also carrying a cellphone and communication equipment in his aircraft.

The search has been impeded by high winds and the fact that rescuers have no idea where Fossett's destination is, since no flight plan was logged prior to takeoff. The search area is estimated to be around 600 square miles (the size of Greater London), which may take up to a week to scour.

Fossett is most famous for gliding around the world in a hot-air balloon in 2002, becoming the first person to fly a balloon solo around the world. He also became the first person to fly around the world without stopping in 2005.

In a statement to the press, his former crewmate and rival, Sir Richard Branson remained confident he will be found: "Steve is a tough old boot. I suspect he is waiting by his plane right now for someone to pick him up."

On Monday, September 4th, the Civil Air Patrol opened a mission base in Nevada to support search and rescue operations for Fossett.

At 5:30 a.m. PDT on September 6th, the Civil Air Patrol opened a second mission base at Bishop, California. Twelve aircrews and numerous base personnel arrived on scene on September 5th to be able to start launching aircraft early on the morning of the 6th.

Base staff spent the evening and night analyzing what little radar and intelligence information is available, to plan the areas to be searched this morning. Crews will be assigned a search area (or grid) upon arrival at the base, receive a briefing, plan the search area coverage and launch. After they complete each grid, the crews return to the base, document the mission, and are debriefed. They then may have a short break, and start the assignment process again.

Bobby Abreu had four hits, including a double and a solo homer (16), Jorge Posada went 4-4 with two solo homers (17, 18) and four runs, and Robinson Cano went 4-4 with 3 RBI.  Chien-Ming Wang pitched 7 1/3 innings, giving up one run and getting the win.  Horacio Ramirez pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up only three of the runs, but receiving the loss.  The Yankees now lead the Mariners in the AL Wild Card race by 2 games.

Other games

Matt Stairs hit a three-run homer in the fifth for the Blue Jays, their only scoring.  Josh Beckett (17-6) pitched eight innings, allowing five hits and three runs.  He becomes the first major leaguer this year to hit 17 wins.  Roy Halladay pitched eight innings as well, allowing nine hits and five runs for the loss.  Jonathan Papelbon picked up his 33rd save.  The Red Sox stay 7 games up on the Yankees in the AL East.
