Ayya Vaikunda Avataram declared as a holiday for Tirunelveli district

March 3, 2006

The Ayya Vaikunda Avatharam is a festival celebrated in a grand scale in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu. People from almost all the districts of Tamil Nadu visit Swamithoppe Pathi, the religious headquarters of Ayyavazhi. And for the comfort of the devotees, for a long time the religious leader of Ayyavazhi Bala Prajapathi Adikalar and some other Ayyavazhi Movements demanded from the government, a leave of absence for the districts of Tirunelveli, Chennai, Madurai, Thoothukudi and Virudunagar.

Taking into consideration, the government of Tamil Nadu have announced the day of Vaikunda Avatharam (March 4) as a holiday for the districts of Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi, the districts in which the Ayyavazhi followers was populated mostly, from this year.

Still, they request for a leave for the districts for Chennai, Madurai and Virudunagar.

Talk:Ayya Vaikunda Avataram declared as a holiday for Tirunelveli district

This article was created over a month post article date, and does not contain the proper tag to denote its stage. In addition, I do not believe this is a publish-quality article as of now, as there is no specific event it centers on, and is quite short in length. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 21:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I already started this (Ayyavazhi) few months before and was deleted fro the reason that there is no proper reference. And I was searching for the reference and now I found out. So I started it now. And the news related to this is not an event finish in a day or two. It was a leave announcement and it will benefit and will be in practice for every year. And you also told that it was a not a notable event. But in the History of Ayyavazhi it was a long time demand for a leave for those districts. And now was granded. So regarding Ayyavazhi it was really specific and resonable. - Vaikunda Raja 21:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I've also sourced it by the site of a News Paper (The Hindu) report. -Vaikunda Raja 21:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * As a note, I didn't say that the event itself wasn't notable; I just said how the article represents it is not notable, due to the lack of content and context. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 21:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the article making it more informative. -Vaikunda Raja 22:15, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Some questions
What day of the year will the holiday be celebrated annually, or how is the date of the holiday determined annually?

What does a government holiday indicate? Will banking and government offices be closed?

If you please, could you provide some background regarding both what the holiday means, and how it is celebrated? -  Amgine | talk en.WN 06:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Is this publishable? It looks pretty good to me. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 05:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I too think its okay. But you asked and so I'am telling,

 * The holiday is celebrated on 20th of the tamil month of Masi which falls on march 4th. during leap years it falls on march 3rd.
 * During the day (local holiday) I think the banks remain open. But I am not sure about the government offices. - Vaikunda Raja 21:25, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

How this article is considered incomplete? - Vaikunda Raja

Amber Alert canceled in Toronto

April 14, 2006

Nevaeh Gough is back with her family, and police in Toronto have cancelled the Amber Alert issued earlier today when she was driven away by her father, Daniel James David, after an alleged domestic altercation between the 10-month old's parents.

Police were called to a home on Warden Avenue at 1:35 p.m. EDT (1735 UTC) regarding a domestic dispute. Police allege Mr David arrived at a motel where the mother and child were staying and assaulted the infant's mother, then drove away with the child. When he returned to the hotel, they allege he forced the mother into the car and drove her to the home on Warden Avenue, from which he later fled.

Police issued the alert, along with descriptions of Mr David and his vehicle, and the warning that he may have a gun.

The alert was canceled off after approximately an hour when the baby's grandfather brought her to the police, about 7 p.m. local time.

Mr David was described as 5’10”, black, with black, short hair and brown eyes and has a cheek scar under his right eye. His vehicle is a silver, four-door, 2006 Mazda M6, with Ontario license plate AYFZ 177.

Anyone with information to his whereabouts is asked to contact police at 416-808-4300, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or online at www.222tips.com.

Canada tests cow for mad cow disease

April 14, 2006

Initial tests done on a six-year-old dairy cow in Fraser Valley, a farming community near Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada, are inconclusive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or "mad cow disease," said Canada's Food Inspection Agency.

Further tests are being conducted at Winnipeg's National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease and results are expected on Sunday. Officials also say the cow did not enter the human food chain.

"Canada has a suite of internationally recognized safeguards that work together to provide high levels of human and animal health protection," officials for the agency said in a statement.

If the results are positive, this will be Canada's fifth case of the disease since 2003.

Australian PM faces inquiry into Iraqi kickbacks

April 14, 2006

Australian Prime Minister, John Howard appeared before the Cole inquiry on Thursday, the first time an Australian Prime Minister has appeared before an inquiry with royal commission powers since 1983.

Unlike his foreign minister Alexander Downer who gave evidence before the inquiry on Tuesday, Mr Howard entered through the front door where he gave a brief address. He told the press that his government is being open about the Iraqi kickback affair. " just want to make one point and that is that the appearance by me, earlier this week by the Foreign Minister and also by the Trade Minister, demonstrates absolutely how open and transparent and accountable the Government is being in relation to this matter" Mr Howard said to reporters.

Mr Howard was questioned by John Agius, counsel assisting the inquiry. Counsel for AWB, the company at the centre of the scandal did not apply to cross-examine the prime minister.

Terrence Cole, the inquiry's commissioner received an application from Peter Geary and Micheal Long's counsel to cross-examine the prime minister but refused it on the grounds that the proposed line of questioning was similar to that of Mr Aguis' and that there was no evidence that Mr Howard had "ever met with Mr Geary or Mr Long".

Mr Agius questioned the prime minister about a series of diplomatic cables sent to his office, which raised concerns about AWB's contracts in Iraq.

Mr Howard told the inquiry that he doesn't recall reading or being briefed about any of the cables referred to by the inquiry. The inquiry also heard that prior to 2003 there was no system in place to identify which cables had been bought to the prime minister's attention.

In his statement to the inquiry, Mr Howard said that his office had not received four of the cables mentioned by the inquiry. Under questioning, Mr Howard confirmed this but conceded that it was likely that his staff had read the other 17.

When asked whether there were any guidelines which guided his advisors in deciding which cables should be bought to the prime minister's attention, Mr Howard replied "No, there weren't".

The inquiry heard that the only discussions about which cables which should be bought to Mr Howard's attention occurred when an advisor changed in very generic terms. Mr Howard told the inquiry that he would tell a new advisor "Well, you've got to exercise your own judgment, I can't possibly read everything, and clearly I want things brought to my attention which are, in your judgment, important and are relevant to issues in front of the government at the time".

Mr Howard admitted that the government had an interest in Iraq using the United Nations oil for food program for its own financial benefit, but said he did not expect cables dealing with alleged breach of UN sanctions to have been bought to his attention.

The questioning then turned to a statement Mr Howard made to the National Press Club on March 13, 2003, one week prior to the US-led Iraqi occupation. Speaking about Saddam Hussein Mr Howard said "He has cruelly and cynically manipulated the United Nations oil-for-food programme. He's rorted it to buy weapons to support his designs at the expense of the wellbeing of his people".

Mr Agius asked Mr Howard if his statement was based upon briefngs he had received. Mr Howard told the inquiry that the information was based upon "open source" intelligence stated at addresses by British foreign secretary Jack Straw and the United States state department. Mr Howard said one of his advisors "checked with some cables to confirm that those cables supported the open-source claims and was satisfied that they did".

Mr Howard denied seeing the cables used by the advisor to support the claims, but believed he would have told her to be sure that everything they were saying can be supported by fact. Mr Howard told the inquiry that he never knew about cables which referred to Hussein rorting the UN Oil for Food program. Mr Howard admitted that at the time his "general knowledge" was that Hussein had breached UN sanctions and was rorting the Oil for Food program.

"My general knowledge at the time and belief was that the program had been rorted, and it was not seriously in dispute. Nobody was arguing it hadn't been rorted" Mr Howard said.

The prime minister was questioned about an unassessed intelligence report which mentioned a Jordanian trucking company known as "Alia" paying kickbacks to Hussein. In response to this Mr Howard told the inquiry that he could not recall the information being bought to his attention, which was not unusual.

I'm a Japanese conservative web essayist. (Emmanuel is a name of men with meaning "the God is with us". EmmanuELLE is a female form of it.)

I get my accounts of Wikipedia for refuting anti-Japanese fabrications. But I haven't argued or edited the ones about political issues here. Seeing the news Chikungunya in Réunion, 77 are dead on 2ch, because a chat friend of mine lives there, I got interested in it. And I registered this account for writing the translation of the same news article in French: 186.000 cas de chikungunya à La Réunion.

Explosion rocks Jama Masjid in India

April 14, 2006

Twin blasts have rocked the historic Jama Masjid in Old Delhi (India), killing at least five people and injuring thirteen. The explosions were not strong enough to damage the 17th century mosque.

The first explosion occurred around 1730 hrs local time (IST) and the second at 1740 hrs. The explosives were reportedly carried in plastic bags. There were around 1000 people in the mosque at the time of blasts as the day happened to be Friday, considered holy by the Muslims as well as because of the fact that it was the first Friday after Milad un Nabi, Prophet Muhammad's birthday. The blasts took place just before the Azaan. Some sources claim that the mosque was almost empty with only 100-150 people in the premises when the blast took place. The first blast occurred near Gate No. 1, a place where people wash their hands before offering prayers.

The injured have been admitted to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital. Alert have been sounded in major mosques in India, especially in Mumbai. Fire trucks, ambulances and bomb disposal squads reached the site and have cordoned off the area for their operations. The nearby shops have been asked to suspend operations. The Delhi State Government has requested the people to maintain calm and announced an ex-gratia compensation of Rs. 50,000 for the seriously injured and Rs. 25,000 for those with minor injuries. It is being speculated that these blasts might be linked with coincidental six grenade attacks in Srinagar, that took place the same day. As of 15th April, no terrorist group has claimed the responsibility of the blasts. The Delhi police have arrested four people and are questioning them for the blasts. However, the police have ruled out involvement of any major terrorist group because of the crude nature of explosives.

Type of explosive
It has been established that the explosives used in the blast were very crude in nature and consisted of Potassium chlorate and Sulphuric acid. These two were separated by a rubber wall. When the acid corroded the rubber to make contact with the Potassuim chlorate on the other side, the explosion was triggered.

Flight 93 cockpit recorder played in Moussaoui trial

April 15, 2006

The Los Angeles Times reports that the transcript of the voice recorder on United Airlines Flight 93 was read during the on-going trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the self-proclaimed Al-Qaeda member being charged with terrorism in connection with the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The transcript is the first recording of the hijacked airplane's voice recorders to be released to the general public. In 2004, when the 9/11 Commission Report was finished, some details of the recording were published, however the full transcript was not included in the publication.

The transcript, which has been viewed by the 9/11 Commission Report, references to people trying to get in the cockpit at 9:58 a.m. EST. The transcript at timestamp 09:58:57 records a voice in Arabic saying, "(They want to get in here. Hold, hold from the inside. Hold from the inside. Hold)." Minutes later, a voice in English is recorded, stating, "In the cockpit. If we don't, we'll die."

The reading of the United Airlines Flight 93 voice recorder transcript during the on-going trial of Zacarias Moussaoui confirms what has already been stated in the findings of the 9/11 Commission — there is nothing to show any passenger ever got into cockpit or fought the terrorists before the plane crashed at 10:03 a.m. EST.

The transcript does not record anyone saying, "Let's roll" as stated in previous media reports, but has one person saying "roll it." The phrase "Let's roll" has become a popular catchphrase, said to be stated by Todd Beamer, in reference to the attempt of passengers of Flight 93 to stop the hijackers. President Bush used the phrase in his 2002 State of the Union Address.

Talk:Flight 93 cockpit recorder played in Moussaoui trial

maybe plane crash because hijackman could not fly plane? maybe crash has nothing to do with passengers? could "let's roll" be wrong for "roll it"? maybe tring to roll cockpit door open? don't know from transcript. Yrtsihpos 14:02, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Not news
All of this was described in the 9/11 Commission Report, and therefore is not newsworthy on its own. The tape being played at the trial, however, would be noteworthy. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 17:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * sorry, I don't undrstand? the sources are abut the tape being played at the trial. 64.229.66.38 20:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Miscelanos must not noticed story is about the tape played at trial and LATimes interpratation is real new too; so remove tag as tag just a mistake for sure. Yrtsihpos 20:12, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * What? No, this article is exactly what the title says: an opinion about calling the passengers not heroic.  That is what is described in the WIKINEWS article.  That is not newsworthy.  The 9/11 Commission Report, which came out a long time ago, contains all the information about the struggle in the cockpit.  It's old news.  This article does not contain any other information that could be used in a current news article.  Not only is this an editorial, but it's old news.  Yrtsihpos, I know you're new here, so I'm going to tell you that removing tags when you feel there is a "consensus" is a bad thing to do.  That shows that you are not keen to accepting opinions of others in the community.  Also, "consensus" is only achieved through community-conducted polls, so you cannot claim your actions on it if it does not exist.  Please do not continue to do these things on this wiki.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 20:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Must be my bad english,sorry, but miscelanos says "struggle in the cockpit" and the way this is new is the transcript does not show the passengermen ever got into cockpit at all. shows they did not because only arabs heard at end of transcript. that is new to me that beemer and other americans never got into cockpit and also new to me that Times says all hero rumor and books now looks like lies or urbyn myths. Yrtsihpos 20:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I like the current headline and think this is newsworthy. I read the 9/11 Commission Report which did not quote the voice recorder in such detail. The Los Angeles Times treats this subject in a balanced way; this new information is good to keep in mind now that a motion picture is being released featuring this same subject. It's nice to be able to know the differences between history and Hollywood's version of it. Karen 04:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Be it as it may, if there is a movie, it should be mentioned. However, the commission's report makes this information quite old, other than the mentioning of the recorder being played in the trial.  It has been contradicted already, which was highly publicized, so it is not necessarily newsworthy in that sense.  Now, this doesn't mean the recording's content shouldn't be in the article, it just shouldn't be the focus (nor in the title), especially if we go into sensationalist statements such as calling the battle "heroic" (or not, for that matter).  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 04:28, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Karen 18:31, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) There is a movie. It's not important for this story, but would be a related story if you want to write it.
 * 2) If there was a story with a highly publicized contradiction concerning these quotes, that fact makes its presentation in this court case even more newsworthy.
 * 3) The headline statement:
 * 4) isn't calling the actions (battle) heroic. If you think the headline is sensational, change battle to struggle.
 * 5) is the focus of the story. That's a great reason to summarize it in the headline.
 * That's called sensationalizing. We do not do that here.  Yes, it is calling the battle heroic.  It does not need to be summarized in the headline, because the focus of this article is outdated.  It is not new news to restate what was stated in the past; the highly-publicized findings of the 9/11 commission already provided details of the cockpit recorder, and already came to a conclusion that the passengers did not make it into the cockpit.  That's old news.  This article simply cannot go on a focus of old information.  That is not newsworthy to do so.  -- (talk) – 19:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

MrMiscellanious, you seem to have a lot of bias about this story - stating the struggle was not heroic isn't the same as saying it was - you're confusing the two. You say that the confusion you're experiencing is called sensationalizing, and you're the only one who's suffering from it in this case as far as I can tell. Then you say "We do not do that here" which gives me the impression that you have multiple personality disorder. If you're talking about a specific policy defining a sensationalized headline, you'll need to first show that this headline meets that definition. A story updating or confirming something known should rely on older information being updated - changes in known information is news.

But I'm repeating my responses to yours as you're repeating your objections which address my responses to them. Nothing new is being said here - you're just ranting more.

However, I'll state something new - after reading your objections and expressions, I'm tending to think you've got more issues than what can be expressed in policy, and will now give less weight to your opinions when no additional or coherent reasons are provided with your complaints. Karen 21:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I do not welcome your comments, Karen, especially when you cannot take into consideration any statements that I profess. Therefore, until you can, I shall not take any of your comments into consideration.  What I have seen of you is nothing short of blatant bias, if you are willing to publish half-written articles that do not conform to Wikinews' policies.  I wish that you read them, study them, and abandon any personal feelings you have attached to articles.  The articles you have pushed for publishing were atrocious - they simply cannot be here on this wiki.  Our credibility as a neutral news source has been declining daily; and it's because of the half-truthed articles that get spewed out here.  Pushing for them to be published certainly does not help the wiki at all.  A little advice on the future, as well - if you wish to make comments, back them up with proof.  If you wish to criticize me, do it without attacks.  If you can't meet up to those qualities, then it's going to be a bumpy ride here.  Your little statement above makes me wary.  If you can't engage in a conversation, and realize that others have different thoughts, without calling them insane, then you are the one with issues.  I advise you to take care of those off-site.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 02:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I've no attached feelings to this story, but you need not take that into consideration - just realise this story's development was only the stage for my opinions of your actions, MrMiscellanious. What I'm trying to get from you is some rational reasoning, just so I know you're not wholly a raving lunitic who persists in using the royal "We". It would help me to better understand you if you'd list atrocious stories I've voted to publish, along side them list the ones that aren't. Briefly state in a few words why each falls into either category; educate me. "Back them up with proof," as you stated to me. I'd like to be very critical of you when you act the way you do, when dealing with people as if they can read your mind and know your reasons. I'd like to know how you interpret written policy against the judgements you frequently make without listing reasons. I'd like to know what bias you've seen in me - bias towards getting to the truth? If I am making comments without proof, I'm not alone. If I am being critical of people (instead of their statements or actions), I'm not alone. I view you as doing what you're telling me I shouldn't. The critical issues you profess I have can't be solved off-site - unless you're going to inform me about them some other way. You're going to need to engage in this conversation after you realize that I have different thoughts than you, MrMiscellanious - thoughts that I'm expressing while asking you to do the same with a minimal of personal bias of your own. Unlike you, I welcome others' comments. Karen 06:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Every judgement I have made is based on policy here. That is how I operate - I don't give a crap what I think personally.  You are acting like a troll now, and I suggest you stop.  I will not stand here and listen to your slanderous filth; if you ever so much as make another sludging remark such as that again, I will make sure you are recommended to be blocked under the personal attacks provision for as long as policy states.  If you want some place to put them, put them here: User talk:Mrmiscellanious/Sludge.  But as of now, I'm going to state that you cannot welcome anyone else's comments; you feel that your word is the final decision, and there is no way that any others will have any input.  That is not how a wiki works, and you should not call yourself a member of this community if you continue to act in those ways.  Not only is it detrimental, it gives others a sense that this wiki only allows a certain group of people here.  Step off your high horse; you're stepping on actual contributors.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 23:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

MrMiscellanious, you're Not news. You have not provided reasons for your objections, only excuses. Please recommend that I am blocked - then finally I'll see your reasons. What you've said I've done is exactly what you've been doing - name-calling, disruption of the community you claim to be defending, exaggeration for drama, and objections without reasons to name a few. I've asked for your constructive comments to your criticism of my work here, and instead I get your personal attacks. Shame on you. Karen 04:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * You've called me insane. You've stated that I am biased without providing proof.  I don't think that is very constructive, and if you do, then I'm dumbfounded.  You've never asked for constructive comments, and have instead resorted to attacks and unilateral decision making.  That is not constructive.  I'd suggest you read our policies again.  Until you have something mature to discuss, I will continue to ignore your comments.  This user will only treat you the way you treat me.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 13:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

MrMiscellanious, my references to multiple personality disorder and the royal "We" were guesses as to why you'd refer to yourself in plural. It's seems more likely now that you were speaking for Wikinews as a whole ("I'd suggest you read our policies again"). You're correct, has little to do with the story, but it doesn't help your credibility. You never met my request for constructive comments on my "blatant bias" and "atrocious" choice of stories. More to the point of this story, I was asking for reasons behind your positions; you'd only go as far as to say it was covered in policy. Your bias about this story was that according to you, it was not news. The biggest failure on your part was in providing reason for that. Here's my bias: Although I personally have read much more than I want to about terrorist plane attacks, more of these stories will be news as the event continues to have effect, even if I don't want to read them. The consensus was that this story is news, and it was published. Your arguments about the headline were addressed, and the story turned more towards the trial - but as you can see, it kept returning to the point of when the "Let's roll!" phrase was uttered. The last sentence in the story was added not by me, but by Yrtsihpos who stated, "Please stop preventing addressing the urban myth. This is good background." Yes, that's old news - but he considers it background. Please make a bit of an effort to keep contribution discussions from being as hostile as they have been here, and I’ll do my best, as well. If you had been more positive in your actions and persuasive in your arguments, then I might have sided with you on some of your points. I hope this met your criteria for "something mature to discuss" as you consider these comments. Karen 19:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * You never once asked for positions behind here; you instead chose to diagnose me online with a personality disorder, accuse me of bias without even mentioning a single item of proof, and failing to even consider my statement. If you had, you would have noticed that I gave proof for my objections - the 9/11 Commission Report, which was highly publicized - provided the information that met my objections of this not being newsworthy.  I then stated what items were newsworthy - the fact that this transcript was read at the trial.  However, you and other users chose to ignore this.  Then, you made your statement about me having a personality disorder.  I saw no "consensus".  Consensus comes by polls, and no one voted here.  The bit about "Let's roll!" was not my doing, either.  In the future, I hope you do not take sides - collaboration is broken there.  And, even if you are qualified to diagnose people with diseases or disorders, please don't do it on a wiki in a discussion.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 19:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Although I feel that the situation is pretty clear, I want to comment on one particular aspect. MrM, please read Karen's comments a little more carefully. I have to admit that Karen's comment on "multiple personality disorder" is quite subtle, but she did explain it for you in more detail above in case you did not get it the first time around. Your claims about being "diagnosed with personality disorder" really seem quite ridiculous at this point. --vonbergm 20:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

The impact of the reading affected the status of the "Let's roll!" phrase in this event a bit. Maybe it's given more attention that it deserves in this story, but I feel justified in leaving the story as-is for completeness.

As for consensus and polls, I voted. (See below) I'm the only one, and seem to have won by default. But Polls are evil, according to the Wikimedia entry. Consensus can occur with discussion. I voted because I thought it would be good to see where everyone stood on the issue, not just to decide the issue. If you're the only one with a specific opinion, then a poll wouldn't be to your advantage. Your best option is discussion, where anyone reading could respond to your objections if they thought your reasons made sense to them. Karen 22:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Strange wiki?
Tagman's comments make no sense at all. He seems to think the article is about struggle in cockpit but article is about how there was NOT a struggle in the cockpit. Tagman then disappear and not help at all. What is here? I am so coinfused. Yrtsihpos 03:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
I reverted, and readded the cleanup tag, there must be consences for it to be removed Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 05:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it too much to ask that people that tag an article give some idea on what needs to be done to remove the tag? Nothing wrong with being constructive, or has this virtue become frowned upon lately? --vonbergm 19:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Consensus about what?
What is the issue? Miscelanos seems to think the article is about struggle in cockpit but article is about how there was NOT a struggle in the cockpit. What is the issue you see? Yrtsihpos 13:45, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Publish — I've made edits on the issues I saw (two spelling, one punctuation). I consider this story ready for publishing. Karen 18:21, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

redundand information
MrM, could you explain why you insist on having the fact that the 9/11 commission viewed the transcript mentioned in two consecutive sentences. --vonbergm 20:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Because it was highly publicized as an outcome of the report. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 20:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm. You have to mention that the commission has viewed the transcript twice, in two consecutive sentences, because it was highly publicized? Do you really believe that readers can not remember this bit of information from one sentence to the next? --vonbergm 20:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

If it was highly publicized, then wouldn't it go without saying? I'm beginning to think there's other motives, either rational or hidden, for his actions. Karen 21:55, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

my two cents on Let's roll
Why does the article get stuck on the point about "Let's roll!"? I don't think "previous media reports" claimed that this was said in the cockpit. I thought it was said by Todd Beamer on the cellphone in which case we should not expect to hear it on the flight recorder!? See evidence from wikipedia article:

From Let's roll!
 * Beamer spoke his last known words to the group, overheard via the phone connection. The 9/11 commission determined that his final recorded words were actually "roll it" (in reference to a steward's trolley the passengers were using as a battering ram), but it was "Let's roll" that entered the popular consciousness.

To be honest, that final paragraph makes me feel weird. What does it add to the story if we have no reason to expect "Let's roll" to be heard in the flight recorder in the first place? It adds a subtle "bush lied about something in a speech" subtext, doesn't it? Dto1138 01:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I suggest you look at the edit history and above discussion before you venture out on wild speculations about why certain things were included. The "Bush reference" was included much later than the "let's roll" quote, after more background on its importance was requested. --vonbergm 02:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The WP article has a couple of contradictions and does not really serve as a valid source for this. Taking a look around recent news articles I noticed that there are very different versions of the "let's roll" story out there, with CNN writing
 * One of the more storied calls comes from passenger Todd Beamer of New Jersey, who has a long conversation with a GTE Airphone operator, Lisa Jefferson. The call was not taped.
 * "Are you ready?" a fellow passenger asks Beamer toward the end of the call. "Let's roll," Beamer replies, according to Jefferson's previous account.
 * which contradicts the wikipedia as it claims that the call was recorded. This issue definitely needs more attention, maybe someone can try to figure it out. For now I agree that taking it out is the right thing to do. --vonbergm 02:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not certain Wikipedia claims that the call was recorded. "The 9/11 commission determined that his final recorded words were actually "roll it" doesn't imply to me that the phone call was recorded, despite perhaps that the call happened before the voice recorder recorded "roll it." I interpret "final" as in the last thing that was said by him which was recorded - that doesn't need to imply that there were earlier recordings of his voice.  Yes, the original headline tended to make the story about the phrase, but the current headline brings the story back to the trial, even though there's a lot of redundant mentioning of the 9/11 commission. Karen 06:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I just addressed my concern about the mentioning of the 9/11 commission in an expansion of the story's last single-sentence paragraph. If anyone bothers to change or revert that particular edit, please let me know why - so I'll have better judgement next time. Karen 07:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Karen, the inconsistencies in wikipedia I was referring to are within articles around "Let's roll", like e.g. "and his last words "Let's roll" became a widespread catch phrase following the attacks." and "Todd's last words were, according to the 9/11 Commission, "roll it"" in the same article. I like your changes.

--vonbergm 18:23, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Many people still beleve the "let's roll" led to a real fight in the cockpit. It is censor to keep mith going; let the truth come please. Yrtsihpos 01:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * There's going to be more about this subject - a movie has been produced, titled United 93 which you can read about in this story: |A Dark Day Revisited - Five years later, Hollywood is betting that America is ready for films about what happened on 9/11. Are we? It will be interesting to see how historically accurate it is, especally with regard to the voice recorder. While we can only hear what happened inside the cockpit and are told what happened on the phone, nobody knows for sure what exactly happened on the plane.  Karen 04:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Egyptian official states Al-Qaeda explosives expert killed in airstrike

April 14, 2006

Mohsin Musa Matawalli Atwah, 45, who is accused of being an Al-Qaeda explosive expert, was killed in a missile attack on Wednesday night in Pakistan, said Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Pakistan's information minister. At least eight other alleged terrorists, both foreign and of Pakistani descent, were also believed to have been killed in the strike. However, the body of Atwah has not yet been found and the identities of the others killed are not yet known. It is believed that at least two children were also killed.

"We can confirm the identities of the foreigners killed once we have carried out a thorough ground check," said Pakistani military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan.

Atwah, also known as Abdul Rahman Al-Muhajir, Muhammad K.A. and Abdel Rahman, is accused of being responsible for the bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7, 1998 which killed 20 Americans and at least 200 Africans. Atwah is on the FBI's list of most wanted terrorists with a bounty of five million dollars.

"His death has been confirmed. The confirmation is based upon multiple intelligence sources," said Ahmed.

"I confirm the death of this Egyptian terrorist," said an Egyptian minister.

Pakistani forces used missile fire and explosives launched from assault helicopters to kill the expert in the North Waziristan village of Naghar Kalai, which lies near the border of Afghanistan.

Atwah "had been living here for quite some time," said one security official.

However, it is believed that associates of the alleged terrorists killed removed the bodies and buried them in an unidentified location, but at least four tribesmen that were killed were buried in the town's cemetery.

So far, neither the United States FBI nor U.S. officials in Egypt have confirmed the death of Atwah.

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

Bear in Tennessee kills six-year-old girl

April 14, 2006 A six-year-old girl was killed after a black bear attacked her. Her mother and two-year-old brother, also attacked, were critically injured.

The nearly 400-pound bear attacked the family when they were staying at Chilwoee Campground located within the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee. The family was visiting a nearby waterfall when they were attacked.

According to rescuers, the girl managed to escape from the bear, but was found only an hour later by a rescuer who fired shots that scared the bear away.

"Allegedly, after the rescue squad found the little girl, one of the squad members fired a shot from a small-caliber handgun. We don't know whether the bear was hit or not. There was no blood, but it chased off," said Dan Hicks, a spokesman for the states Wildlife Resources Agency.

The mother and the brother both remain in critical condition at a hospital in Chattanooga. The boy's skull was punctured by a bite to the head, before the bear attacked his mother. The mother was trying to scare the bear away with rocks and sticks before being attacked. According to doctors, she had several puncture wounds to her neck, but had too many other claw and teeth marks for them to count. Both are expected to recover.

Investigators have not yet been able to speak to the mother because of the severity of her injuries.

"She may not remember the attack at all," said Hicks, who also said that it was only Tennessee's second documented attack involving a bear.

"There is a chance that the same bear would attack someone else, so I hope they do catch him," said Lynn Rogers of the North American Bear Center.

Officials have baited traps with honey buns and doughnuts to try and catch the bear.

Authorities have not yet released the names of the victims. The campground has been closed.

Salon: Rumsfeld allowed Guantanamo abuse

April 14, 2006 According to the online magazine Salon on Friday, United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld let an "abusive and degrading" interrogation happen in 2002, citing an Army document obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request as its source. The magazine quoted a December 2005 Army inspector general's report where officers told of Rumsfeld's direct contact with the overseeing general at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

According to the article, the victim, Mohammed al-Kahtani, was made to stand naked in front of a female American interrogator and accused of being a homosexual, forced to wear women's underwear and to perform "dog tricks" on a leash and went though 18-20 hours of interrogation per day during 48 of 54 days.

Salon reports that "on Dec. 2, 2002, Rumsfeld approved 16 harsher interrogation strategies for use against Kahtani, including the use of forced nudity, stress positions and the removal of religious items." According to the report, Rumsfeld revoked these harsher interrogation techniques in mid-January 2003 and they were not approved again.

Salon cites Army investigator Lt. Gen. Randall Schmidt's statement, which was made under oath, that he concluded that although Rumsfeld did not specifically order the interrogation methods used on Kahtani, the open-ended policies approved by Rumsfeld paired with lack of supervision of day-to-day interrogations permitted the abusive conduct to take place.

Pentagon spokesman Jeffery Gordon told Reuters that "We've gone over this countless times and yet some still choose to print fiction versus facts," and added that "Twelve major reviews, to include one done by an independent panel, all confirm the Department of Defense did not have a policy that encouraged or condoned abuse. To suggest otherwise is simply false."

New Apple software lets Microsoft Windows boot on Macs

April 14, 2006

Last week, Apple Computer released a program for their Mac OS operating system called Boot Camp Assistant, which will allow Macs to boot Microsoft Windows. The software was released as a beta version for Apple computers powered on the Intel architecture, which is also used by Windows. Assistant works by creating a hard drive partition to contain the Windows operating system. Unlike the current method of reformatting, the software will arrange files so that the new partition will not erase existing files. After the partition is created, the user must load a Microsoft Windows install disc.

While Macs will support booting competitors' operating systems with Boot Camp Assistant, Apple will not offer support for them. Infinite Loop reports that this has led to people accidentally permanently installing Windows on their computers. Another concerned party is Microsoft, who claims that their commitment to the Macintosh operating system "has not changed."

One group seen to benefit is gamers, who will no longer be left waiting for delayed releases of Macintosh versions of games. Peter Cohen of Macworld notes that he has been able to play certain games with a moderate level of quality. However, he considers this to be a disadvantage for Mac developers, who are responsible for bringing software already available for Windows to the Macintosh operating system.
