Copyrighted photos
Hi,

photos used in Wikinews articles must be free content (freely licensed for derivatives and commercial use), with very few exceptions enumerated on Fair use. Photos from competing news organizations are taboo, so I had to delete the "Fathers for justice" photo.--Eloquence 01:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

BBC News is good for you ;-)
No problem on the "Fathers for Justice" is coming to an end article, you'll pick up the little technical details as you go along. The really good thing about the article was that even before anyone did any copyedit/spelling changes you were pretty much following the core policy of Neutral Point of View. Which isn't that different from the BBC's Guidelines. Would I be guessing wrong that you've been a BBC viewer for some time. :-) --Brian McNeil / talk 17:33, 19 January 2006 (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 TGoldsmith. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TGoldsmith~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 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

"Fathers for Justice" is coming to an end

January 18, 2006

Pressure group and fathers rights campaigners Fathers for Justice are to suspend their operations. The campaign leader Matt O'Connor has said last night that the group were looking into claims by the Sun newspaper that members of the group had been planning to abduct the 5 year old son of Tony Blair.

However, O'Connor told channel 4 television that the group could no longer continue after the negative publicity that this accusation will cause.

The group have been recently famed for their headline grabbing stunts including; throwing flour in the House of Commons at the Prime Minister and the trespassing incident at Buckingham Palace. These actions have stirred up public support for their campaign.

O'Connor said 'After peacefully campaigning for three years to ensure children get to see their fathers, we condemn any individual who planned this appalling outrage which is anathema to our campaign.' O'Connor then added 'I have three young boys myself and couldn't think of anything more traumatic for Mr Blair, his family and his son than what is reported in this morning's Sun newspaper, however we should approach the story with caution as it carries very little information in it.'

A Downing Street spokesperson has said that there will be no official response.

Mr O'Connor has now publicly stated that he wants to distance himself from the group. 'I don't want to be associated with an organisation getting headlines like this'.

Fathers for Justice had been working towards removing the radical elements of its membership with an expulsion of 30 of its most extreme members.

The Police have claimed that they were aware of the plan but knew it to have not got past the talking stage.

This event has left the group in turmoil; they now appear to have no leader and their future is uncertain.

Talk:Al Qaeda bomb maker reportedly killed in U.S. airstrike in Pakistan

Much better
I like it...thank you. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 15:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Dispute or publish
I think this article should be published International 12:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This does not beling: "However, the Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao has stated that the government does not know the identities of the foreigners believed killed in the missile attack." It needs to say HE did not know the names or it needs to be taken out,...because Pakistani Offilcials say...and last time I checked, Pakistani Officials worked for the government. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 12:58, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As I can see it different officials say different things. It is importent that this artcle dont claim anything like 'confirmed' killings of anybody before it is confirmed. Thats why this article use a careful language. When good sources tell about confermed killings then we can report it. International 13:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That sentence I mentioned does not fit in. As long as the article states reports say...or ABC news is reporting...then its news...and CAN be published. However, that statement I mentioned needs to be removed or it needs to be changed to HE said... DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 13:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The CBS source states that this comment was directed to the Associated Press. So how about properly attributing it and saying "Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao told the AP that his government does not know....." --Deprifry|+T+ 13:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Because Pakistani intelligence officials work for the gov. And if they were not believed or suspected to be dead, then why would 2 OFFICIALS say that?? DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 13:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem is that nobody, exept first hand eyewitnes, know for sure if killed terrorists and their identity for now. There is a lot of speculation and vague sources. International 13:35, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the Interior minister is the government so I think his words have some merits too. Look, IMHO there a two possibilties. 1.: The anonymous officials wanted to make themself important and thus made things up. The Interior minister is telling the truth. OR 2.: The Interior minister e.g. the government for some reason tries to cover things up and thus lies to the press. The officials couldn't stand that and went to the press themselfs.
 * These are the alternatives I'm able to see. Wikinews can't decide who's right which is why I think it is important that we present both sides. --Deprifry|+T+ 13:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I stated my side. In my opinion if that comment is left in there in its current form...then the whol article needs a major edit. It should say HE says...not the government. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 13:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I will publish if no better argumentation is presented International 13:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * You have done this before. I will not allow it. Deprifry has stated we need an agreement. You cannot remove tags when under dispute. I have made my suggestions which are actionable. We need to agree on this. You are not collaberating as we should DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 13:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Deprifry suggested that wikinews cant take stand so we present both sides. Thats what the article do now.International 14:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

"However, Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao told AP the government does not know the identities of the foreigners believed killed in the missile strike Friday [...]"
 * Let's examine the quote that is the source of all this dispute. From the CBS artice cited as source:

The problem is that they are paraphrasing him (same on other websites which syndicate AP content ) so we aren't exactly sure what the precise wording of his comments are. However to me, it seems apparent that Sherpao is talking for the Pakistani government (of which he is a very high-ranking part) and is not merely expressing a personal assessment. --Deprifry|+T+ 14:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I would agree, except, sourses in the article and sources not in it state that at leeast 3 reported killed and cited that to be by pakistani officials...which is what is stated in the article whioch is also staing that ABC reports...Until we can see that that guy said what he said, then I think the sentence should be removed...we need to report on the facts...not speculate on what he MIGHT have said or put it into context. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 14:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * facts are not drowning this article, It is no need for one pakistani official voice. But Sherapo is interior minisrer still. Thath talk for publishing in current state International 14:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * and if you whant fakts wait for the bodys examined or something.International 14:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Deprifry does not agree and neither do I...the statement is in context and is not accurate as Dep. said. I agree. We do not know what he really said and we cannot scramble arounf quottes or statements. That is MISLEADING. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 14:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Then de-publish and continue to fuch things up ~(exuse my bad frenc)International 14:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * But we have the same problems with the statements by the anonymous officials, we don't have exact quote there aswell. We have to rely on ABC there. So I don't see why we couldn't say "The AP is reporting that the Pakistani Interior minister said this..." along with "ABC reports Pakistani officials said that..." --Deprifry|+T+ 14:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I will publish once this is settled. If you want me to i will remove the statement and until we can get more from that guy then the statement (which is in context and misleading) should not exist...unless modified to NON context. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 14:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * My dispute is actionable...but I cannot go abouve an administrator. That statement added IS misleading. I still dispute but will not add the tag...because I will likely get blocked DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 14:58, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can! I am no more of an editor than you are.  I do disagree that it is an actionable objection to keep this article from publish, however.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 15:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * This is all covered in the article, nothing really needs to be "added". We have ABC taking the responsibility (although it should be shared with other news outlets as well), the quotes are sourced, this article is now published and therefore should not be continued to be updated (except for spelling/grammatical errors).  This is factual as of the date of its publish.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 14:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Quote
this: However, the Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao has stated that the government does not know the identities of the foreigners believed killed in the missile attack. DOES NOT BELONG...its contridictory to the fact that the names are stated...if they did not believe they were dead, the article would not be started.

women and children
There is no proof that innocent women and children were killed. I propose to add "allegedly" to that statement. Also, I wonder if the next time our enemies strike us, you liberal idiots will mention that women and children were killed??? gee. I wonder.

factual errors
None of the sources listed state the information that Midhat Mursi has been killed as a fact. Moreover, the sources seem not to agree on whether he was "believed to be among the vitcims" or "believed to hgave been at the dinner", which are two different things. Given the lack of information who the sources are, the speculative nature of the information given in the articles and the disagreement between the news sources, this article is a gross overstatement of what is known. Please correct. (Title and first two paragraphs!) --vonbergm 00:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Same day news (more or less) that fit, I would say you can still expand this article. Especially Breaking News articles usually develop quite a bit even after they are published.

Higly POW, no sources talk about confirmation
this is POW and not good journalism. se som cuts from the source below:

ABC News has learned that Pakistani officials now believe that al Qaeda's master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan.

Among the senior al Qaeda operators believed to have been in the village near the Afghanistan border where an airstrike hit last week is notorious Egyptian scientist Abu Khabab

WASHINGTON, Jan 18 (Reuters) - ABC News reported on Wednesday that al Qaeda's master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan. The network did not say in the report on its Web site why it believed he had been killed but it reported that Midhat Mursi,

 * Sources say he is dead...you guys need to read them. And add more...READ SOURCES!!! PAKISTANI OFFICIALS CONFIRM DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 00:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * You are mistaken. One source says he is dead, quoting unnamed Pakastani officials. You have a quote I cannot find in the sources which are public. I have removed the paid subscription source as it is not public. If this is the only source for some of the factual statements in the article you will need to locate a publically available source to support those statements, or remove them. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 01:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 01:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

But I will gladly take your offer and again become more active in the editing of articles that you also participate in. So any preference on titles before I make the changes? --vonbergm 01:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

ABC sourse is not clear. Look at theese two statemente in the same article:

" ABC News has learned that Pakistani officials now believe that al Qaeda's master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan."

"akistani officials also said that Khalid Habib, the al Qaeda operations chief for Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Abdul Rehman al Magrabi, a senior operations commander for al Qaeda, were killed in the Damadola attack. Authorities tell ABC News that the terror summit was called to funnel new money into attacks against U.S. forces in Afghanistan." International 01:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * There is your confirmation...what is the problem here? Cannot find somewhere where I am wrong? DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 01:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Please! International 01:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * There are no current actionable objections for this article, therefore I am removing the two flags on the article's page, and publishing it. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 14:52, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Title suggestion
Looks like the only thing that still needs fixing is the title. Here are two suggestions:
 * "Al Qaeda bomb maker reportedly killed in U.S. airstrike in Pakistan"
 * "Al Qaeda bomb maker allegedly killed in U.S. airstrike in Pakistan"

I am not sure if "reportedly" is a word and I am not a big fan of MrM's "allegedly". Either one should settle any NPOV concerns, but maybe someone has a better idea? --vonbergm 01:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

at least not confirmed! International 01:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Sure I will go with that the first title suggestion. and there is NO npov concernes. you guys are the ones who tagged the article...like you did all the others on this subject...take your political agendas somewhere else.

"earlier"
The article is (deliberately) formulated in a way to suggest that claims that named terrorists have been killed take precedence over claims that there is not enough information to make such claims. This has been done by formatting and formulations, like inserting words like "earlier" suggesting that there is a teporal sequence. These assertions are not backed by the sources, on the contrary, the sorces (e.g. the BBC sources) suggest that the temporal sequence of the reports is the other way around. While these NPOV concerns don't seem big enough to tag, I am quite alarmed at the persistence with which editors have repeatedly changed the language from more accurate accounts to versions that try to cater to a certain POV. Editing the article to make appropraite changes seems silly as one could just revert to previous versions to fix. --vonbergm 19:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Last edit having been by an Admin doesn't "lock" the content of the article, their opinion on the appropriate state for an article carries no more weight than anyone else, but they might have more experience of judging when to go with what we have. I think vonbergm's point might be that, to a Pakistani audience our article might appear insulting, whereas the BBC one would not be.  --Brian McNeil / talk 19:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * All I would like to point out here is that the only difference between the current version and the version that was previously published, and then got flaged with NPOV concerns and underwent a serious of edits, is that the paragraph citing the interior minister has been moved to the bottom of the article, away from the statement of "unnamed sources" that it contradicted. Moreover, the text was changed to suggest that the interior ministers statement had been made "earlier" than the one by the unnamed sources. This temporal qualification is not backed by any of the sources (some sources actually imply the opposite order). This inaccuracy, combined with the choice to move the interior ministers quote to the bottom can only be interpreted as POV pushing. The earlier published version was factually more correct and in its conception more coherent and balanced as it had the two conflicting statements side by side. Another example of editors putting POV over news. --vonbergm 22:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Stardust comet samples "visible to the naked eye"

January 19, 2006

Stardust, a NASA space probe, returned with more than scientists bargained for.

"I didn't see anything," said University of Washington astronomer, Don Brownlee, from NASA's Johnson Space Center Tuesday.

But then, technicians flipped over the collection grid and scientists all around let out a huge gasp of excitement.

"It's better than we could have possibly hoped for," Brownlee said. "It exceeds all expectations. We have a huge number of impacts, and some are quite big and visible to the naked eye. It's a huge success."

In a memo from NASA, scientists said "hundreds of particles" could be seen in the collection tray. "There were two particularly large comet particles that had 'exploded' inside," said the memo.

A lot of the largest particles shattered into little bits of black debris when they landed on the collecter. But many other visible particles left tracks as they landed at 13,000 MPH and stopped fully intact. "I remember warning people not to be disappointed if these tracks were very hard to see, but they are absolutely stunning," Brownlee said.

Before they opened the collector, Brownlee admitted that no one really knew whether or not the device had actually caught any particles. "You just don't know if nature is going to cooperate or not. It has been a magic mission."

"The capsule tumbled several times when it landed by parachute in the Utah desert, but the impact didn't crack the aerogel," said Brownlee. NASA researcher Scott Sandford said the collection effort "succeeded well beyond our wildest hopes. I am not sure if it is good clean-room protocol to hug each other, but there was a lot of it going on for the first 10 minutes or so," he added.

Stardust traveled nearly 3 billion miles and went around the Sun 3 times. Stardust's mission in space lasted 7 years.

Scientists also hope to use Distributed Computing to help with looking over the samples. They will use a VM (Virtual Microscope) which will be developed by the University of California at Berkeley. The developers, computer scientist David Anderson, director of the SETI@home project and physics graduate student, Joshua Von Korff, are expected to design the program which is expected to go public in March.

CNN hires three conservative commentators

January 19, 2006

American cable news network CNN has began to implement more personalities into its lineup, with the hirings of three prominent conservative commentators as contributors.

On January 5, the weblog TVNewser reported that Bill Bennett had been hired by the network as a political analyst. Bennett, a Republican activist, was appointed by Ronald Reagan as the Secretary of Education, and currently hosts a talk radio show, Morning in America. Bennet came under fire in late 2005 for controversial statements made following the landfall of Hurricane Katrina, in which he said on his radio program: "if you wanted to reduce crime, you could—if that were your sole purpose—you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down."

On January 17, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that CNN Headline News was hiring radio host Glenn Beck to host a new primetime show, and just a day later, CNN announced that former Republican congressman J.C. Watts was joining the network as a political analyst. Beck is quoted by the group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting as saying that "Every night I get down on my knees and pray that Dennis Kucinich will burst into flames."

In an article in Variety, CNN executive vice president Ken Jautz touted Beck, saying "Glenn’s style is self-deprecating, cordial; he says he'd like to be able to disagree with guests and part as friends. It's conversational, not confrontational." In response, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann named Jautz the "Worst Person in the World" on his show, saying "That's cordial? Compared to who? Bill O'Reilly? Nancy Grace? Michael Savage?"

Liberal media watch group Media Matters sent out two emails to members, saying, "These three actions [hirings] raise serious questions about whether CNN has made a high-level decision to support and promote right-wing individuals, even those who have a history of promoting conservative misinformation and offensive rhetoric," commented Media Matters' David Grossman.

The media watch group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting also criticized the move in an action alert, saying "The strategy of out-Foxing Fox by signing up incendiary right-wing talk show hosts is a dangerous one, as MSNBC found when it gave a show to hate-radio star Michael Savage and had to let him go when it turned out that his TV persona spouted the same vitriol featured on his radio show," referring to an incident during a live broadcast that led to Savage's dismissal.

CNN has been in a fierce ratings competition with the FOX News Channel, which has steadily begun gaining market share against the network, featuring several of the most-watched primetime shows.

Talk:CNN hires three conservative commentators

January 2006
Note from the author: This is my first real article on Wikinews, so please be patient with me and explain exactly what your problems are. Thanks. AaronSw 02:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the article, AaronSw, I enjoyed reading it and found it to be useful news.

This article does NOT cite sources properly....who are the critics? Also, the title is totally POV. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 02:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * What's wrong with its source citing? The instructions say to put links at the bottom of the page using the source template; I provide links for every assertion in the article. What's POV about the title? I considered "Critics charge ..." but that seemed like an inappropriate dodge; it's not the real topic. AaronSw 02:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Whats wrong

 * 1. The title is POV. I really do not have to explain it other than it sould say: "So-and-so accuse CNN of being Right-wing" or something like that. This title, the way it is now suggests YOU think that its right-wing.
 * The title ends in a question mark, it discusses a question. I don't see how pointing out the question is POV.
 * Does not matter. It still looks and sounds like YOU are saying they are right wing.

 * 2. Who are the critics? What are they critics of? You cannot quote critics. There needs to be a name.
 * The only place critics are referred to is in the first (summary) paragraph, from then on specific critics are named, quoted, and cited.
 * You say Critics all over. Who are they? ex: "Critics are suggesting..." What critic? Who?
 * That's not all over, that's the first paragraph -- exactly the one I just referred to! AaronSw 03:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * 3. This is not really news in its current form. At least in my opinion. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 02:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not? AaronSw 02:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Because I still think its your opinion. You have very minimal info for the quotes you suggest.
 * What exactly do you mean? What info should be provided for quotes? AaronSw 03:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 02:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * You need to quote who from fox news....what critics? who? and the title still suggests you are saying CNN is right wing. I am NOT going to keep repeating myself. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 03:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for not seeing what you think is so obvious, but can you explain at least one specific problem with my CNN story. I know it doesn't have any quotes from right-wing media watch groups but I haven't found any yet. AaronSw 02:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, we do not allow editorials, which is sort of plain and simple. We have a NPOV policy that is worth a read, and the article as it stands really does heavily bounce on the border of it. Assertions of Fox News like so: "FOX News Channel claims to be "fair and balanced" by featuring right-wing perspectives they feel are unfairly kept off of other networks." aren't allowed under the policy. This isn't factually correct all the time, so it can be claimed as a POV statement. Also, speculating on a matter of three occurances isn't really "proof" (even if it was, we can't assert anything). I suggest a title change for the article to "Concerns raised against new CNN personalities" (or similar), and a focus of the article to be changed from an editorial to an article about the groups concerned about CNN's hirings, as well as responses from CNN (if avail.) and people from the right. This way, it maintains balance, and an article isn't wasted. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 02:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Why isn't that statement allowed? It's totally NPOV -- it describes what FOX claims. The only part that seems objectionable is the characterization "right-wing", but these terms are frequently used in political discourse. The article doesn't speculate -- it provides facts and quote charges from two prominent nonprofits. AaronSw 02:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * FNC claims that it is "Fair and balanced", Ailes was the one who made the statement about the right not being represented enough. Therefore, it cannot be asserted that they attempt to be "fair and balanced" by adding "right-wing"s into their programs.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 02:52, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * WHO from Fox News claims that? WHO are the critics? DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 02:53, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Article lead
Looks to me, after the first paragraph the article is fine. -Edbrown05 03:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The major edit helped a lot. It looks great. It was not just the first paragraph...the whole thing was a mess. Good wotk Wikinewsies...after recent dispoutes I am happy to see this one resolved VERY QUICK. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 03:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ugh. This better be a lead now :P!  But before, title suggestions!  Please!  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 03:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * "CNN accused of right-wing agenda" that sounds good..almost spooky DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 03:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Spooky indeed, but could be seen in the wrong fashion. How about "CNN hires three prominent conservative commentators"?  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 03:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Its ok but not "catchy" enough...but why not the 1 I mentioned? The watychdogs DO accuse CNN of it going in that direction... DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 03:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I see the last quote as ok...but The first one should be backed up by what he said. I have to go to work. ttyl. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 03:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Two-day bird flu conference draws $1.9 billion in pledges

January 19, 2006 In Beijing, China, 1.9 billion US dollars in pledges came from 33 countries and a host of multilateral institutions at the end of a meet co-ordinated by the World Bank. The amount exceeded the organization's estimate of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in funds required to contain the avian flu over the next three years. In addition to aiding research efforts, the money is expected to help strengthen surveillance and increase the stockpiling of surgical masks and other equipment.

The United States was the largest donor, pledging $334 million in grants. Japan pledged $159 million while the European Union pledged $120 million. The EU member nations promised an additional $138 million.

China which is home to a third of the entire world's population of birds pledged $10 million to help other countries with the effort. Jia Youling, China's chief veterinary official defended the relatively small pledge claiming that China was still a developing country and faced a serious challenge from bird flu within its borders. Premier Wen Jiabao personally attended the conference and announced that the country would share more information on outbreaks in the country, including samples that will assist in tracing genetic changes.

Dr. Lee Jong-wook, the director general of the World Health Organization, believes that the Chinese government was fully committed to sharing information openly and freely about bird flu cases. But he cautions that it would be difficult to stay fully informed about every health development in a country as populous as China.

Dr. Lee also expressed his concern about reports that children in Turkey have now become infected with the A(H5N1) avian influenza virus without becoming ill. Some studies suggest that the disease must become less lethal before it can cause a global epidemic, he noted. There is concern that patients may continue to infect more people by going through their daily routines if the flu symptoms remain mild.

Some scientists note that the avian flu has been known to occur among poultry in southern China since at least 1996. They are encouraged that the avian flu virus has failed to evolved into a form that is transmittable by people in all this time. This could be an indication that this would never happen. But others including officials from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization disagree claiming that increased contact between infected poultry and people raises the odds that the virus may eventually adapt better for transmission among humans.

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

Indian city of Bangalore to be renamed Bengaluru

January 23, 2006 Marking the growing trend in the rise of Indian nationalism, the Chief Minister of the Indian state of Karnataka,, has announced that the state government will rename Bangalore to its pre-colonial name, Bengaluru, taking effect from November 1, 2006. The change was suggested by, best known for winning the.

Many industrial leaders in Bangalore have declared opposition to this name change. "I am absolutely opposed to the name change. The Karnataka government should concentrate on spending money to bring about constructive change rather than wasting a huge amount of money in funding a petty, parochial political initiative," said, chairperson and managing director and India's richest woman, and also made a statement of possible explanation with the comment "The truth is that whenever a government considers itself weak in certain regions and thinks it is falling down, it whips up parochial sentiments.” She described the basis of her objection with the comment "Bangalore has a global brand name worth billions of dollars," and further stated that "As it is the Karnataka government says it is short of funds. Why waste it on meaningless things?"

Bangalore has a reputation as "India's Silicon Valley."

Other cities to be renamed recently were Chennai (formerly Madras), Mumbai (formerly Bombay), and Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).

The move follows other cities in India being reverted to their traditional Indian names, following independence from the United Kingdom.

Brokerage executive linked to Livedoor deals found dead

January 19, 2006

Hideaki Noguchi, 38, a close aide to Livedoor president Takafumi Horie was found bleeding in a hotel bed with cuts to his wrists on Wednesday in Naha, the capital of the southern prefecture of Okinawa. He was later confirmed dead and the police suspect that he committed suicide. Hideo Sawada, the president of HS Securities, told reporters in Tokyo that Noguchi's family had identified the body.

Noguchi was a board member at Japan M&A Management Co., a unit of H.S. Securities Co. The firm was raided by prosecutors earlier this week in connection with fraudulent practices at Livedoor, according to the Kyodo News agency. He was a graduate of Tokyo's Meiji University, and joined Livedoor in 2000. He had previously worked at Kokusai Securities Co. as an adviser in financing. Livedoor was publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in April 2000. Noguchi then set up the investment unit Capitalista Co., which merged with HS Securities.

News of the suicide is being featured in the Japanese media in connection with what is being termed the "Livedoor Shock". The problems at Livedoor have led to the loss of a third of its $6.3-billion value in the stock market. Livedoor maintains that its own investigation reveal that it did not violate any securities laws.

Some view the affair as an outcome of the larger struggle between competing business cultures in Japan. Takafumi Horie is part of a new generation of Japanese entrepreneurs with little patience for the customs of a traditionally cautious business culture. Horie has shown an appetite for publicity through his internet blogs and appearances on TV shows while living a rock star lifestyle that includes private jets and actress girlfriends.

Horie is also credited with popularizing stock trading among individual investors. The practice of day trading is relatively new in Japan. The Nikkei index was up about 40% last year, its best performance since 1986.

Six vehicle pileup disrupts traffic on highway in British Columbia

March 7, 2009 A six vehicle pile up occurred on the John Hart Highway (British Columbia Highway 97), north of the John Hart Bridge in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada which disrupted traffic during the morning rush hour of March 5, 2009.

No serious injuries arose as a result of the accident, however traffic was reduced to a single lane. Traffic control was conducted by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who was at the scene at the time of the accident (7:45 a.m.). The RCMP cruiser was not one of the vehicles involved in the pile up. The crash was put under investigation by a traffic analyst.

The John Hart Highway connects Prince George,a city of 70,981 according to the 2006 census, with Dawson Creek over a length of approximately 250 miles (400 km). The Northwest Corridor Association saw a C$30 million twinning upgrade to the John Hart bridge which spans the Nechako River, a tributary of the Fraser River. The bridge is located 5.4 kilometres (3.4 miles) north of Prince George. In March there is a traffic volume of between 11,000 to 12,000 vehicles per day at the north end of the John Hart bridge according to the the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation Average Annual Daily Traffic AADT reports between 1994 and 2000.

Corby's 20 year sentence reinstated

January 19, 2006

Schappelle Corby has been told by an Indonesian court that her 20 year sentence for allegedly smuggling drugs into Indonesia would be reinstated following an appeal attempt. Her lawyers had previously been successful in reducing her sentence to 15 years.

Indonesian police allege that Corby smuggled 4.1Kg of marajuana hidden in a body board bag into Bali. Corby has maintained that the drugs did not belong to her and must have been placed in her bag between Brisbane, Sydney and Bali.

Australian baggage handlers had been caught using passenger's luggage to distribute illegal drugs.

Judges rejected her appeal last week, reinstating her original sentence at the same time.

The Indonesian supreme court has ordered that the drugs be destroyed, signalling that it is the end of any possible future appeal attempts.

Another twist has emerged in the Corby story with her 18 year old half brother arrested yesterday on charges of producing and possessing a dangerous drug, deprivation of liberty and assault occasioning bodily harm.

Corby's lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea said that the development had "totally ruined his case". Speaking before discovering Corby's original sentence had been reinstated said he feared the development involving Corby's half brother, James Kisina, would ruin his attempts to free Schapelle.

Corby's Balinese lawyer, Erwin Siregar, disagrees with Mr Paris claiming the arrest could provide evidence to reopen her case if there is any proof or statements that the marijuana she was caught with belonged to her half-brother.

In court today, Kisina claimed that he was seeking to obtain information from known drug dealers in Brisbane which could assist in Corby's appeal.

Iraq asks United States to release 6 Iraqi female prisoners

January 19, 2006

The Iraqi government has asked the United States to release 6 of the 8 Iraqi women that are currently prisoners, which Iraq claims is not a bid to get American journalist Jill Carroll freed. A commission reviewing detainee cases has recommended Monday that at least six of them be released.

A Human Rights Ministry official said the call "to free the women was not made in response to demands from Carroll's kidnappers." He then went on to say, "There was no outside pressure on the commission" to recommend releasing the women. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisal from insurgents.

Abductors holding the journalist have made demands that all female Iraqi prisoners be released or they will kill her.

The U.S. said that they currently have 8 women in security detention. But as of Wednesday night, refused to comment on whether or not the women had been released.

Carroll was kidnapped in January when insurgents ambushed her car and killed her translator. She is 28 years old. The abductors gave a 72 hour dead line and are expected to kill her tomorrow if their demands are not met.

Insurgents in Iraq have recently kidnapped more than 240 foreigners and killed at least 39 of them since the beginning of the war. Some estimates of the number of Iraqis kidnapped place it in the hundreds and possibly even thousands.

Breaking News?
Is this really breaking news? Is the article ready for publishing? Is it a lead article? Its not bad but maybe you hurry little...International 11:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * yes it is breaking, she dies today if women are not released. Indeed it is ready to publish. It can be updated bedcause its breaking and its todays news. So if there is MISSING info then put it in. Thats why breaking is on there. It is a lead article. The U.S. releasing prisoners is news. DragonFire1024 is Jason Safoutin 11:53, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

women prisoners
Shouldn't it be "six female Iraqi prisoners?" I can't imagine someone writing "six Iraqi men prisoners."

 * Yes, it should either be "to release 6 Iraqi women" or "to release 6 Iraqi female prisoners" to be grammatically correct. Aaron Winborn 23:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Al Jazeera airs new Osama Bin Laden tape

January 19, 2006

The Qatar-based Arabic news channel, Al Jazeera, announced receipt of the audio tape purportedly from Osama Bin Laden. Portions were broadcast in which Bin Laden offers a "a long-term truce" to allow rebuilding of Afghanistan and Iraq while also making threats of "new attacks" against the United States. Following are several excerpts from the tape.

 * "Heightened security measures in the United States are not the reason there have been no attacks there since the Sept. 11, 2001, suicide hijackings, because there are operations that need preparations, and you will see them. Based on what I have said, it is better not to fight the Muslims on their land. We do not mind offering you a truce that is fair and long-term. ... So we can build Iraq and Afghanistan ... there is no shame in this solution because it prevents wasting of billions of dollars ... to merchants of war. I would also like to say that the war against America and its allies will not be confined to Iraq. Iraq has become a magnet for attracting and training talented fighters. As for similar operations taking place in America, it's only a matter of time. They are in the planning stages and you will see them in the heart of your land as soon as the planning is complete."

 * "This message is about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and how to end those wars. It was not my intention to talk to you about this, because those wars are definitely going our way. But what triggered my desire to talk to you is the continuous deliberate misinformation given by your president [George W.] Bush, when it comes to polls made in your home country which reveal that the majority of your people are willing to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq."

 * "If your desire for peace, stability and reconciliation was true, here we have given you the answer to your call. I would like to tell you that everything is going to our advantage and the number of your dead is increasing, according to Pentagon figures. The new operations of al-Qaeda has not happened not because we could not penetrate the security measures. It is being prepared and you'll see it in your homeland very soon. We do not mind establishing a long-term truce between us and you."

In a White House press conference today, Press Secretary Scott McClellan showed no fear: "We are taking the fight to the enemy and we will find them where ever they are. Terrorists view democracy as a threat. We will not let up or stop until the job is done. We will win this war on terrorism. We do not negotiate with terrorists, we put them out of business. We're working to advance freedom and democracy. We will pursue those who seek to do harm."

The CIA ran voice analyzer tests on the tape against previous tapes and confirmed that the tape is authentic and that of Bin Laden's voice.

This tape, says Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit, "proves two things...he's not dead. And despite all the things we say about him being isolated and alone, he can clearly dominate the international media when he wants to."

Judith Yaphe, a former CIA Middle East analyst now at the National Defense University in Washington says, "He's saying that whatever measures we've taken, they have not affected him. He's got to reassure people that he's alive and well."

No conditions of the truce offering were present in the portion of the tape broadcast.

Al Jazeera also says that the tape was made during the Muslim holy month of December, in 2005.

U.S. officials also say the terror alert level will not be raised as of yet.

The Associated Press is also reporting that there is no unusual amounts of "chatter", which is what U.S. officials term as terrorist talk.

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 Beza. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Beza~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 23:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

UK R&B singer Ms Dynamite sentenced for assault

January 19, 2006

The UK musician, Niomi McLean-Daley popularly known as 'Ms Dynamite' has been sentenced to carry out 60 hours of community service after admitting to assaulting a policewoman.

The rap star has been fined £750 in compensation.

Sky News reports that "she had hit the officer in the face at a London police station on January 6."

According to Sky News, District Judge Timothy Workman said: "The injury sustained by that one blow were obviously more considerable than first thought.

"I accept that it was one blow and in the circumstances bearing in mind your good character, you have never been in court before, you are entitled to a discount on sentence."

According to her solicitor the catalyst for the row was the racial abuse of her sister Annabell, 18.

The BBC reports that Ms Dynamite's solicitor Anthony Burton said: "My client has absolutely no excuse for her conduct. She makes no bones about that.

She apologises profoundly for her conduct to the officer involved, Pc Marles. "She is deeply ashamed."
