Italy and France draw 1-1; Italy wins FIFA World Cup on penalties

July 9, 2006

Italy converted five immaculate penalties to win the 2006 FIFA World Cup after a drawn game and thirty minutes of extra-time in the spectacular arena of the Olympiastadion Berlin, Sunday.

French captain Zinedine Zidane did not help his team when, 20 minutes into extra time, he lost control of his emotions and got a red card after ramming his head into the chest of Italian player Marco Materazzi.

The game was closely contested with the play makers on both sides - Andrea Pirlo and Zidane, on his last game before retirement - not getting much space with which to dominate the play. For Italy and France Gennaro Gattuso and Claude Makelele tackled hard.

However; both creative midfield stars made important contributions to the only goals of the game. Zidane converted a chipped penalty after five minutes while Pirlo's magnificent corner, a quarter of an hour later, thundered into the net off Marco Materazzi's head.

Materazzi had previously conceded the penalty when he tapped Florent Malouda on his ankle as he ran past him in the penalty area.

In the first half Italy's left and right defensive backs Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Grosso penetrated down the French flanks. But after the break France came out the strongest. The flow of the game was disrupted when Patrick Viera pulled-up injured and Marcello Lippi made two substitutions on the hour. A deadlock resulted as teams tired and individuals battled for every ball without thinking too hard about constructing team attacks.

Materazzi was never far from the action in the final and though Italy had 55 percent of ball possession was one of the busier players on the pitch. France were slightly more potent offensively with 13 shots - out-shooting the Azzurri by eight attempts.

In Extra Time France came closest to a goal - Zidane, unmarked, headed to goal from 12 yards but was tipped over one-handed by Gianluigi Buffon.

Zidane's next contribution to the game was not so graceful and appeared to be sparked by the close marking of the ubiquitous Materazzi. After a verbal altercation the 34-year-old turned around and drove his head violently into the Italian's upper chest.

Materazzi was knocked backwards on the floor but the incident occurred off the ball and was not immediately noticed by the referee or his assistants. Buffon soon ran out of his penalty area to an assistant referee and the game was stopped.

Horacio Elizondo ran to the touchline to consult with officials and returned waving a red card for the violent conduct of Zidane. It is likely FIFA used information from fourth and fifth official to confirm the decision. However FIFA denied video evidence claims alleged by France team's coach Raymond Domenech.

The headbutt and red card was Zidane's last action in football as he had said he would retire after the tournament.

A penalty shootout was necessary to decide the winner. Eight shots went in; David Trezeguet missed the one that mattered. His shot hit the crossbar and unlike Zidane's penalty in the first half, bounced down inches the wrong side of the goal line.

While Zidane was hanging his boots up Marco Materazzi scored Italy's third. Grosso, who in the second round had won a last minute penalty against Australia, powered in the fifth to give Italy the cup.

The only goal Marcello Lippi's Italy conceded during free play in the tournament proved to be an own goal from Cristian Zaccardo against the United States of America.

Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro, on the occasion of his 100th cap, was instrumental in their defensive achievement. Amid wild scenes of joy on the pitch he jumped onto the podium and lifted the trophy, the fourth of Italy's history.

Post match celebrations

Following the match the streets and plazas of Italy were filled with celebrating fans, with flags waving from thousands of cars and motorbikes.

Talk:Italy and France draw 1-1; Italy wins FIFA World Cup on penalties

Great content
Keep all the images on page and see how many we can fit around the content. If it looks messy we might have to shuffle around. Ealturner 21:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, and IIRC that refs were all Argentine xcpt for the 4th and 5th. ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 21:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC) Refs taken care of. ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 21:55, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Image gallery
Sorry, I didn't think properly about this. Sounds a good idea. How do you set one up? Ealturner 22:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Animated GIF
I'm not sure that the animated GIF fits in as it detracts from the article (you end up looking at that rather than the main purpose of the page). Also its quite large for those still on slower speed internet... Anyone else have an opinion? R2b2 21:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Let's wait to the end. I like it. I also have a gif of Zidane's headbutt. This could be a large article, might take a couple of hours. Don't rush it. Ealturner 21:47, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Good point about those with low speed connections. Certainly if we have one we can't have more than one animation displayed. Maybe we can link them. Ealturner 21:58, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Let's set up an image gallery - They're great shots. But I wonder, can we use MPEG or some codec other than anim GIFs? ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 21:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Put the images and gifts here. Ealturner 22:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think animated .gifs got anything to do in a Wikinews article. It's just annoying (and of course bandwidth consuming). Jimbo would kill a kitten if he saw an animation in a Wikimedia article ;-p --Jambalaya 22:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * This is not a style issue. What "Jimbo" thinks of an animation or a video has nothing to do with how we provide this video -- that's what's at issue, IMO.
 * We have the footage. Let's put it to use.  ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 23:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Formations/Cards
Shouldn't the minute of the goals scored be included in the Formations section? We list the minute of the cards given, why not goals? ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 22:15, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The minutes aren't there because the time of goal information is in the match box. It would make the graphic look messy if we duplicated it in formations sections Ealturner 22:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I hadn't thought of that. Sounds reasonable. ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 23:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Zidane video
I presume this cannot be used? I think it's a short clip taken with a digicam of a tv transmission. Or maybe it can be used? I'm just being hopeful.

 * If you can find out who uploaded it and what the original copryright info is, then maybe it can be used. Link to it in the meantime.  ▪ NeoAmsterdam TalkEdits 23:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I've published. I don't like my writing very much, I need some time away and a clear head. Publishing might give it more attention too. Facts of the article seem to be in place. Ealturner 00:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Zidane video is a bit short, it does just show his fault not what appends before, Jacques Divol 08:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Gifs next to Ref's name
What? The ref got a yellow card and a red card? I know what this is trying to say (I think), but it looks odd IMO when compared to the convention for indicating if a player was carded. --24.91.124.228 20:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Passenger airplane crashes in Siberia

Check the numbers
The numbers don't add up quite right for this article. It says "150 are feared dead", but it also says "There were 192 passengers and 8 crew onboard the aircraft. So far, 68 passengers have emerged injured and 124 bodies have been recovered." 68 plus 124 is 192 plus 8 crew is an even 200, so if there truly are possibly 150 people dead, the total number of passengers should be re-checked. -Robby Prather

Not "the breaks"
Aircrafts don't use wheelbrakes on landing. They use flaps and reversed engines. Also, the RWY is more than 3000m long. It is not credible that "break failure" is the cause.

Queensland cabinet commits to dams

July 10, 2006

Opposition parties in Queensland have taken exception to the state cabinet's decision to dam Teviot Brook and the Mary River. Cabinet, the executive branch of the Australian state's government, made the decision on July 3 after months of discussion and planning.

The Labor government claimed the dams are necessary to maintain supply to Brisbane, the state's capital. Declining rainfall has left the city's 1.5 million people short of water, and the population is growing rapidly. The Nationals, the main opposition party, have criticised the cost of the new dam, and propose raising an existing one instead.

Argentina qualify for Rugby World Cup in France next year

July 10, 2006

The Argentina national rugby union team has qualified for the 2007 Rugby World Cup to take place in France next year, during October and November. Argentina join Pool D with hosts France as well as Ireland and two nations that will come through as Europe 3 and Africa.

The Pumas, as Argentina are known, defeated Uruguay 26 points to nil at home at the San Isidro Athletic Club in Buenos Aires to take the first Americas spot. Miguel Avramovic scored two tries, with Federico Todeschini converting both, as well as kicking two penalty goals for Argentina. Following the Uruguay win, Argentina finished at the top of Round 3a of Americas qualifying. In their first match of Round 3a, Argentina defeated Chile 60 points to 12 in Santiago. Chile are currently in second place behind Argentina, however, there is still one fixture remaining, between Chile and Uruguay, so both nations have the chance to continue to the next round.

In the other group - Round 3b, the USA are leading the table, though they and Canada have both won one game - having defeated Barbados, who are now out of the running for a place. The USA and Canada are meeting in St. John's in Canada, on August 12th, 2006, which will determine who goes through to the World Cup as Americas 2, and who enters the Round 4 play-off against Chile to fight it out for Americas 3.

Auckland Zoo otter Jin has been found alive

July 10, 2006

Jin, the short-clawed Asiatic otter who escaped from the Auckland Zoo almost a month ago, has been found alive.

Jin escaped from the zoo by digging through two walls and scaling a 1.8 metre high barrier around her enclosure.

She successfully evaded capture despite numerous sightings around Auckland's inner harbours.

The New Zealand Department of Conservation says a tip-off from a yachtie helped bring an escaped zoo otter's days of freedom to an end this morning, the yachtie spotted her at Islington Bay, at the causeway between Rangitoto and Motutapu island.

Auckland Zoo senior vet Dr Richard Jakob-Hoff said Jin has “…got to take her time and relax in her own time. She is in quite good condition and is well hydrated... She's lost a lot of weight but given that she is really in very good condition."

She has abrasions on her head, another under her tail and on her back paws.

When Jin first left the enclosure she weighed 3.6-kilograms (kg) and when she was caught she weighed 2.5 kg.

She is currently in quarantine for 30 days to make sure she is free of any infections that she could have caught from the outside world. The infection she would most likely get would be salmonella from the raw food she has been eating.

"The most common thing in these types of animals is that toxoplasmosis can cause blindness and can get into the brain and cause fits... She has been very stressed and that is what I am concerned about." said Dr Richard Jakob-Hoff.

45 feared dead in Pakistan air crash

July 10, 2006

A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) passenger plane crashed shortly after take-off in the eastern Pakistani city of Multan. The police chief present at the location told Reuters that all 41 passengers and 4 crew members on board died in the crash. "Everyone is dead. I am standing at the site," Iftikhar Babar, the police chief, told Reuters.

Airport officials said PIA Flight PK 688 left Multan heading for Lahore and Islamabad. It crashed 10 minutes after take-off,

"Bodies are badly charred. The debris has caught fire," an eyewitness told Reuters. He said rescue workers from the privately run relief foundation Edhi, the Civil Aviation Authority, and the army were taking part in the rescue operation.

Pakistan's private Geo Television station also stated the aircraft to be in flames. They describe it as having gone down in a wheat field near a mango orchard, two miles from the airport. Several trees were burning from the impact of the crash and a perimeter wall was damaged. It also appeared to have hit an electric power line while crashing in the field. Police have cordoned off the area and are keeping people away from the scene.

It is still unclear if anyone on the ground has been killed or injured.

A PIA spokesman said: "The plane lost contact with the control tower about two minutes after take-off. We don't know what happened to it."

Mohammed Iqbal, an airline security official, confirmed that there were 41 passengers and four crew members on board the Fokker aircraft.

 * please use clear and direct headlines, without unduly sensationalising the event.
 * be conservative in reporting deaths, relying only on trustworthy sources and attributing and citing that source fully.
 * try and report who said what when, so as to let readers know whose information is the latest or reliable. (i know, this is not easy, but it is our job.)

Reuters?
When its says Reuters, is it trying to say reporters?

Reuters is a world-wide news service, they are cited at the bottom of the article.

"Feared" dead?
How can they be "feared" dead when they are already confirmed to be dead? ~ clearthought 02:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * they were feared dead when it ws written. as commented above, it's important to not state that they are "confirmed" dead, until someone authoritative makes a formal announcement that they are. while a/the "police chief" made a statement, i didn't think it served the purpose, as the rank and other datails of this chief were not available (so far as i knew), and it had the look of a drive-by quote to the media. also, the airline authorities (presumably the ones qualified to make a casualities announcement) had stated that they had no info. in short; this article needs to be updated.

Searchers of pig farm for pig digested human remains receive counseling

July 11, 2006 The Vancouver Sun obtained two reports relating to the search of a British Columbia pig farm believed to be the location of 26 murders where the women's bodies were fed to the pigs which later went to market.

Police have said the investigation was "unprecedented in Canadian history" for its investigative and forensic aspects. The Canadian RCMP said that over 600 people waded through piles of animal waste, and uncovered the gruesome evidence.

The documents show that about 500 police and civilians, as well as 102 anthropology students were involved and received counselling throughout the search for forensic human remains.

"Water and soil analysis had to be done on a regular basis to check for contaminates that may cause health concerns for on-site personnel." the health services report said. "The investigators had to go through a lot of bird waste and animal waste, and infections from this was always a concern.... Gloves and masks (were) worn by all working on the site."

Building collapses in Manhattan

A four-story building on 62nd Street in Manhattan collapsed after an explosion Monday. Both the White House and New York Fire Department have said the explosion was not caused by a terrorist attack. The New York Fire Department said that the owner of the building, Dr. Nicholas Bartha, might have deliberately caused the explosion in a suicide attempt after a difficult divorce.

According to the latest reports, five people were injured by the blast, one of whom was hospitalised in critical condition. An additional ten firefighters were injured in the following rescue operation. No deaths have been reported.

Most sources give the cause as a natural gas leak that ignited; a ConEd spokesperson said that someone had reported a gas leak to them about one and a half hours before the explosion took place. The resulting fire, which began in the basement, burned strongly for some time, but was later brought under control by firefighters.

Numerous people described the shockwave from the blast as being similar to an earthquake.

Talk:Building collapses in Manhattan

The Blitz
Include quotes as quotes and do not interpret. There was no mentioning of "The Blitz" in the sources. Moreover, from the quote "It sounded like a bombing would sound, like the bombing of London in World War Two." it is clear that the person talking does not know what "The Blitz" would sound like. Why inlcude such a BS statement anyway? --vonbergm 22:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

The Blitz remark was made by CNN's Larry King : "There was one huge boom. ... It sounded like a bombing would sound, like the bombing of London in World War Two." --Jambalaya 22:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Title
I think the title needs some work. Central-ish - is is central or not? Collapes/explodes - which is it? Also the probably not terroism - there's nothing in the article that suggests it is (in fact all the information in the article is saying it isn't).

I suggest something like New York City building collapses in explosion; Gas leak suspected. R2b2 22:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope I didn't break any rules here, but I renamed it to a very consise "Building collapses in Manhattan" --Jambalaya 22:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I have not seen any rules broken. It is best for titles to be short, sweet, and too the point. The detail is for the article. Be bold ~ clearthought 23:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Coincidence?
Likely; but with USGOV's spin&censorship machine; we'll never know for sure. Some media are reporting them together. Neutralizer 04:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I suspect gas leakes aren't all that uncommon, given how much gas is used and how much piping there must be (Especially the old stuff), two explosions close to each other aren't that surprising. I suspect at least two others happened that didn't get reported outside police blotters. 68.39.174.238 17:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I think you're right. Neutralizer 18:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

India successfully test-fires Agni-III missile

July 9, 2006

India's most sophisticated (IRBM) to date, the  was test-fired off the Orissa coast earlier today. The missile took off from a fixed platform at the Integrated Test Range at at 11:05 IST (05:35 GMT) in the presence of Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his scientific advisor M. Natarajan.

The missile took off vertically into space before re-entering the atmosphere and splashing down near in the Bay of Bengal. Three sophisticated radars, six electro-optical tracking systems and three telemetric data stations on the mainland at Dhamra, Chandipur and the Andamans, together with a ship anchored near the splash-down point monitored the missile's trajectory. According to eyewitnesses, the missile blasted off into the sky leaving behind a trail of thick yellow smoke and disappeared out of sight into the clouds within seconds.

The Agni-III, which has a range of 3,500 km and can carry up to 1000 kg of payload, has been described as the most powerful missile developed by India's. The missile, which is 16 metres long and has a diametre of 1.8 metres, has solid fuel boosters and is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. The Agni-I and Agni-II, which were the earlier versions of the Agni series developed under the (IGMDP), have already been inducted into the Indian Army. Boosters for the earlier two missiles had been provided by the, however, the Agni-III uses an entirely new booster vehicle.

25 more NZ police head off to East Timor

July 11, 2006 25 New Zealand police officers have left today, July 11, for three months in East Timor. The force will carry pepper spray and pistols.

The police force will assist the 160 New Zealand Defence Force armed personnel that are already in East Timor as well as other country's personnel.

Grant O'Fee, contingent commander, said "attempts will be made to establish good relations with village chiefs."

The police teams will try to prosecute those who are responsible for arson and assault following the recent violence in East Timor.

The recent two weeks of violence has died down since the former Prime Minister (PM) of East Timor resigned giving his post to the former foreign and defence minister, Jose Ramos Horta. This appointment has been congratulated by the United Nations (UN) Secretary General, Kofi Annan. Horta said the main priority for his government will be "restoring security and moving 150,000 people in refugee camps back home."

You're now a sysop!
Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban users except in cases of obvious vandalism or excessive edit warring (24-hour "cool down" ban). What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban vandals, remove pages that have been listed on Deletion requests for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few protected pages there are up to date.

Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be too worried about making mistakes. You will find more information on Administrators, please take a look before experimenting with your new powers. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). You might also have a look at WN:BP. Please also keep an eye on WN:ALERT.

Changes to Wikinews:Browse
Essentially, I like the changes — while they allow things to be branched out in subpages, it allows basic categories to appear on the main page. With this new design, people will have to travel through less pages. However, I'd prefer if all the text on the page was centered, as well as slightly larger. Other than that, I vouch my support. —     20:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Apollo and the SSTV
Hi, I'm a Spanish editor of Wikipedia and, more recently, of Wikinews. I'm very interested in astronomy and the history of the Apollo missions to the Moon, and I've been following the controversy about the note published here on August 5 about the SSTV tapes.

I've added a notice above the Spanish version of the article, alerting about misleading content. But the editor who started the article, Tequendamia, who is a moon-hoax believer, keeps reverting my edit, even though I gave the reasons in the talk page. He deletes the notice every time I add it, and he even thought I had made up Wood's letter! I think he should be banned, but no other editor seems to be there to control his edits.

Also, I could ask for protection of the article, but I don't know if any other Spanish editor would take the time to read all the discussion - and then he could even decide to leave the article unprotected!

Could you please keep an eye on him, so that no one retires the alert notice about misleading content in the Spanish version? Of course, I could keep watch myself, but I fear I cannot do so in the next few days - I will surely be out of my city. ThinMan 15:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Please excuse my late reply, I must have promptly logged off yesterday after posting to PVJ59, and so I have now just read it. I think the link you sent me is interesting, and its implementation has precedent with the conditions for eligibility now placed on social welfare benefit recipients. Whether the 3 states that have so far begun adopting this approach is proper treatment for folks who are both poor, and less than healthy, is news.

I do better with writing news that has a specific event... this appears to be a U.S. bureaucratic<?> process that is unfolding. I would be amiss how to even write a lede for an article like that. Perhaps you already have, I'll check, regards. -Edbrown05 06:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, when I first read your sugestion I misread it. I'm not opposed to that, but theres a little problem in implementation of it.

 * 1) background color:
 * 1) content {background: #EEF} //or #DDF for a stronger tinge

Microsoft ends support for Windows 98 and Me

July 11, 2006 As Microsoft had previously announced, they will stop supporting three older versions of their flagship Windows operating system software, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Millennium Edition (Me).

On July 11, 2006 technical and public support and critical security updates for these products will end, as part of the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy. In their customer notification about the change, the software giant says they are ending support "because [these products] are outdated and these older operating systems can expose customers to security risks", and that customers are advised to upgrade to the company's newer Windows XP.

IDC analysts say that seventy million will be affected by the change. Because of the lack of security updates for Windows 98, it is possible that any still-existing security problems can be exploited.

Support questions on the Microsoft website relating to the software products can still be accessed and will remain for at least another year. Microsoft ended free support for these products in 2003. The end date of Extended Support for Windows 98 was originally January 16, 2004.

Several blasts rock Mumbai commuter trains

July 11, 2006 Seven bombs exploded Tuesday at various local railway stations in the city of Mumbai, India between 6:24 pm and 6:35 pm IST (GMT+5:30).

The first blast ripped through the first-class compartment of a local train from Churchgate to Borivali, near the Khar station. Subsequent blasts occurred at Bhayandar station near Mira Road, Mahim station, Matunga, Jogeshwari and Borivali. A seventh blast has occurred in the Khar-Santacruz subway. Local phone lines in Mumbai have been jammed. The Press Trust of India, quoting railway officials, said all seven explosions had targeted first-class cars. An eighth bomb was later defused at the Borivali station.

According to official report at least 183 people have died and over 714 were injured in the blasts, although the figures could rise given the fact that Western Railway trains are very crowded during the evening rush hour. Police are reportedly conducting raids throughout India in response to the bombings. Officials in Mumbai claim the explosions were a deliberate attack. India's Home Minister Shivraj Patil said authorities had "some" information that an attack was coming "but place and time was not known". Heavy monsoon downpours have hampered the rescue efforts of the emergency services.

The Indian capital New Delhi has reportedly been put on high alert after the blasts. Airports across the country are also on high alert as are sensitive installations in Mumbai. Mumbai's train system has been suspended and calls are made to keep the public away from the city's train stations.

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh called a emergency cabinet meeting and then released a statement saying that the bombings which have hit India lately are "shocking and cowardly attempts to spread a feeling of fear and terror among our citizens". The country's leading opposition party, BJP, claimed that the current policies of the government put the country in danger for terrorism.

There has been no claim of responsibility, but the attack has the trademarks of Kashmiri Islamic terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba. The group is known to have has set off bombs in quick succession in Indian cities before. India's domestic intelligence agency, the Intelligence Bureau, claims that this attack, as also the grenade attacks in Jammu and Kashmir earlier today were aimed at diverting attention from the elections being held in Pakistani Kashmir.

A terrorist and key supplier of explosives were arrested in Jangpura area of Central Delhi on Monday after a tip-off. The police recovered 2 kg of RDX, an explosive widely used by the military, in his possession. The police are interrogating him to find out if he had anything to do with the recent bombings.

Illustration photo
Does anyone know of a free-to-use photo of a train in Mumbai we could use? --Jambalaya 15:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we can use some of the photos found here in flickr. These images are cc-by-nc-nd licensed. -59.92.58.61 16:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Some good photos here on Flickr too. Not CC licenced, but may be worth asking the guy whether we can use the photos... Frankie Roberto 22:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

TV cap
And we're back to plain text. Why was the tv capture removed without any discussion or reason? Why does Wikipedia's tv captures from CNN IBN qualify as fair use and not the one that was in Wikinews's article? --Jambalaya 21:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * i think its to do with the fact that wikinews is a direct "competitor" to other news services, whereas wikipedia is not. if WP uses some material from them, it does not cause the news service any "harm" (by driving its customers to WP for news), whereas if we used their pictures, the news service can claim that our use is harming them by driving their customers towards us, a rival service. showing "harm" is one of the considerations in fair-use licensing Doldrums 04:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

 * On the other hand, WN is nonprofit, noncommercial and idealistic. It doesn't not take any sale/revenue/profit away from the other newsorganization, thus it doesn't compete with anyone for a market share. In this case, I think it's a bit ambitious to say that WN is a competitor to an Indian news channel :-) --Jambalaya 15:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Reminder: follow-up stories
Just a quick reminder that with big news stories like this, any new developments or subsequent events can and should be covered in a new story, rather than substantially updating this one. Eg an article covering international reaction to the event, any arrests or claims of responsibility... Frankie Roberto 22:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Rock
I think 'rock' is stretching it too far into the realms of bad journalism as practised elsewhere.

Contextually, when you 'rock' something you disturb or distress it.

Now, Several blasts disturb Mumbai commuter trains is probably too weak.

Several blasts distress Mumbai commuter trains unfortunately creates the picture that the trains became upset at the blasts.

Perhaps more accurate would have been Commuters killed in Mumbai train explosions

I'd hate to think that wikipedia need sink to the level of tabloid headlines when there are no serious space constraints on the title (unlike a physical tabloid)
 * i'll rename it to Atleast 174 dead in serial bomb blasts on Mumbai commuter trains, unless somebody has any other suggestions to make. Doldrums 04:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd keep as-is, or change to something like 'Several blasts rock Mumbai commuter trains'. The headline shouldn't include the fatality count IMO, especially as that's now retrospective information...Frankie Roberto 22:28, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Top German FIFA World Cup official Juergen Kiessling was found in his Reinickendorf, Germany (a borough of Berlin) home after a neighbor heard a gunshot. He was rushed to the hospital shortly after midnight with what seems to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Two suicide notes were found, one addressed to his daughter, and one addressed to the remainder of his family. The motive for the apparent suicide attempt is not yet clear.

The 65-year-old is listed in serious condition at Virchow Clinical Center in Berlin.

Islamists win battle for Mogadishu

July 11, 2006

Two days of vicious fighting in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, has finally subsided with the surrender of troops loyal to the last remaining warlord in the city, Abdi Qeybdid.

Around 500 soldiers loyal to Qeybdid handed themselves over to the Union Of Islamic Courts (UIC) on Tuesday, giving the UIC control of around 99% of the capital. It was not without cost however. Estimates suggest that at least 70 people have been killed since fighting broke out on Sunday, although Reuters news agency puts the figure as high as 140.

One doctor at Medina hospital in Mogadishu told IRIN: "We confirmed 43 yesterday [Monday] and 54 Sunday, a total of 97 deaths," although he admitted that more were being buried on the battlefield.

Abdi Qeybdid is thought have been injured and still hiding inside the city. He is one of the last of the United States backed secular warlords who took control of the capital with the collapse of the government in 1991. The government itself is too weak to maintain the capital and so has been based in the southern town of Baidoa. It is now divided over whether to continue negotiations with the Islamists, who it accuses of breaking an agreed ceasefire; talks between the two sides were supposed take place on Sunday in Khartoum.

The U.S. has accused the Courts of links with Al-Qaeda, which is strongly denied by one of the UIC leaders, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys.

Relative calm has returned to Mogadishu, with people back on the streets and traffic returning to normal. In parts of the city already controlled by the Islamic Courts, road blocks have been lifted and the cost of food has dropped considerably. Many however are wary of the extremist elements within the Courts, which have so far seen the banning of the World Cup coverage and public floggings.

Now many in Mogadishu wish peace for a city that had taken damage as the site of many bloody fights over the past 16 years.

Portion of ceiling collapses in Boston tunnel

July 11, 2006

Massive concrete ceiling panels came crashing down in the I-90 Connector Tunnel of the Ted Williams Tunnel in Boston killing a 38-year old woman.

The woman, Milena M. Delvalle, 38, of Jamica Plain was traveling with her husband, Angel Delvalle, 46 to Logan Airport just after 11:00 pm. At least four 3-ton ceiling panels fell on their car, partially crushing it. Milena Delvalle died on the spot while her husband managed to crawl out of the car window, sustaining only minor injuries.

The panels are designed to be held in position by metal rods and an epoxy "glue", which appear to have failed, causing the collapse. The investigation into the collapse is focusing on the epoxy, reports CBS 4.

The tunnel, which was opened in 2003, is part of the Big Dig project.

With the connector tunnel remaining closed, The collapse has caused substantial traffic delays.

White House reverses Geneva Conventions stance

July 11, 2006

After the Supreme Court ruling from June 29, 2006, the White House has announced that from now on all U.S. detainees are entitled to the protection Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, including the detainees at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court ruled that the system of military tribunals set up by the U.S. at Guantanamo was illegal. The announcement came just hours before Congress debates how to change the military tribunals to comply with the court ruling.

After September 11, 2001 the Bush administration argued that those captured by the U.S. in the global 'war on terror' are "illegal enemy combatants" rather than prisoners of war.

United States attorney general Alberto Gonzalez argued in 2002 that fighting the war on terror requires new techniques and that the Geneva Conventions are "obsolete".

White House press secretary Tony Snow denied that the announcement constitutes a major shift in policy. "It is not really a reversal of policy. Humane treatment has always been the standard," he said.

Talk:Microsoft ends support for Windows 98 and Me

...supported?
In the previous version, this sentence was there:

 * Because of the lack of security updates for Windows 98, it is possible that any still-existing security problems can be supported.

It doesn't make any sense to me, but maybe that's because I'm not a native English speaker.

Anyway, I changed the last word 'supportes' to 'exploited'. Is that what it was meant to be?

Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett dies at age 60

July 11, 2006

Today, it was announced that Syd Barrett, the founding member of British rock band Pink Floyd died from a complication with diabetes. According to a Pink Floyd spokeswoman, he died days earlier (July 7) but the announcement was withheld. "He died peacefully at home. There will be a private family funeral in the next few days," said his brother Alan Barrett. "The band are naturally very upset and sad to learn of Syd Barrett’s death. Syd was the guiding light of the early band line-up and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire," noted a statement issued by Pink Floyd.

During 1967-1968, Syd Barrett was considered to be the main member and songwriter of Pink Floyd. However, due to mental illness, he was forced to leave the band after recording only one album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Barrett had since been a recluse. Pink Floyd recorded Wish You Were Here as a tribute following Barrett's leave. The album features Shine On You Crazy Diamond, with lyrics explicitly about Barrett's rise to fame and subsequent dissolution.

Canadian boy, sucked into water pump, loses feet

July 11, 2006

A seven-year-old boy's feet were severed after he was sucked into a water pump at a swimming pool. He is in intensive care as police investigate the water-park accident.

He was seriously injured yesterday when his feet became stuck in a pump that circulates water in one of the pools at Le Camping des Glissades d'eau St-Pie, in Sainte-Pie, Québec, 55 km (35 miles) east of Montréal.

Doctors amputated the boy's legs below the knee. The boy will be given prosthetic feet.

"He should be able to walk by the end of the summer and to be back to school," said, doctors. "He will have to learn to walk again."

Park spokesman Denis Arcand said, "the pump did not have a protective grill over it at the time of the accident".

The park is now closed and will stay closed while police are investigating.

Talk:Portion of ceiling collapses in Boston tunnel

Interesting to compare our story from last year: US Highway Administration releases interim report on Boston's Big Dig: press release claims tunnel safe, but report does not. Amorello, who is quoted in that story, is now being compared to FEMA's Michael Brown. A good example why Wikinews matters, and why original reporting is critical to its success.--Eloquence 00:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
