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 Ejpasseos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ejpasseos~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 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Copyrighted material
Hi there, we don't allow copyrighted material (or cut-and-pastes from other websites) without permission from the owner of the content. For this, both articles you created have been tagged with the copyvio template so that you and other users can rewrite them into Wikinews articles (or, obtain permission from the original author/publisher to have them mirrored here). Please also note that all articles are also subject to the policies (which are linked to above) Sorry for the confusion, thanks for contributing to Wikinews! --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 01:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, that's fine then. Thanks for your contributions, I'll remove the copyright notices.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 02:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Your site, motorsports today, lists this article as copyright by motorsports, but does not give a licensure by which Wikinews may use this article. If you could clarify that your website's copyright licensure is compatible with the CC-by licensure then we can verify that the article may be used on Wikinews. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 02:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, we agree that the article is copyright by Motorsports Today. In order for the article to be published on Wikinews, however, you must have a copyright licensure which says Wikinews may publish your article on the wiki. There are many ways to do this, but before you do you must realize that Wikinews articles may be edited by anyone. By licensing it so we may use it your article would also be available to be expanded, or shortened, to have new information related to the story included, and so on.

 * To license your article so Wikinews could use it you would need to have a page somewhere on your site which states that your articles are released under license allowing them to be republished. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * An exact phrasing for your copyright page might be "Articles published and copyrighted by Motorsports Today. Articles are licensed for re-use so long as a link returning to Motorsports Today is included." This would allow Wikinews to use your articles. Another option would be to use a free license such as the Creative Commons Attribution] license (CC-by), which says the same thing much more precisely. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 16:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I was afraid that might be the case. I will make sure your articles are listed for deletion, and that any copyright issues are taken care of. But thank you for thinking about Wikinews! I like your articles. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 17:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Ayman al-Zawahri releases new video tape

March 5, 2006 , Al-Qaeda's second in command, has released a new videotape.

In the tape Zawahiri says that and the  "are not sacred anymore."

Zawahiri also referred to the Prophet Muhammad cartoons saying, "they did it on purpose and they continue to do it without apologizing, even though no one dares to harm Jews or to challenge Jewish claims about the Holocaust nor even to insult homosexuals. The insults against Prophet Muhammad are not the result of freedom of opinion but because what is sacred has changed in this culture. The Prophet Mohammed, prayers be upon him, and Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, are not sacred anymore, while Semites and the Holocaust and homosexuality have become sacred.".

In the video, Zawahiri also called for Muslims to attack the west. He also said Muslims need to prevent the West from "stealing Muslims' oil.".

"(Muslims have to) inflict losses on the crusader West, especially to its economic infrastructure with strikes that would make it bleed for years. The strikes on New York, Washington, Madrid and London are the best examples. We have to prevent the crusader West from stealing the Muslims' oil which is being drained in the biggest robbery in history. Reaching power is not a goal by itself ... and no Palestinian has the right to give away a grain of the soil. The seculars in the Palestinian Authority have sold out Palestine for crumbs... Giving them legitimacy is against Islam.".

Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras celebrated by 450,000 people

March 4, 2006

Nearly half a million people packed into Sydney's "Golden Mile" on Saturday night to applaud the city's 28th annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade. Parade organisers estimated the crowd at over 450,000. They lined Oxford St - along the parade's route - in Sydney's unofficial gay district, cheering the 6,000 participants and 120 floats.

The Mardi Gras event was the culmination of a month of gay-pride festivities. Many parade participants adopted the theme of the film Brokeback Mountain. The parade was led as usual by the motorcycle group, Dykes on Bikes. Amongst the frivolity and colour, onlookers saw "Kate Moss dancers" snorting 'cocaine', and the gun-wielding - apparently gay-friendly - Dick Cheney. A lampoon of Prime Minister John Howard - a pirate ship carrying "Captain Crook" was also featured.

A Mardi Gras participant, Filipino Fyljoy Volefdico, 25, said: "I think within Australia there is really a lot of culture and it's great when the whole community comes together and celebrates it."

Jay Lynch, who met his partner at the event two years ago, said: "It has become a meeting ground for gays from around the world and as discrimination continues it's important we can connect on this level, and continually redefine what it means to the community."

Chair of the New Mardi Gras board, Marcus Bourget, said the event is about providing a powerful voice for the lesbian and gay community. Describing the parade as "a great Aussie tradition", Bourget said he was proud of the event. "We've run a fairly sophisticated marketing campaign this year, which has led to gradual growth internationally," he said.

Newcastle woman Donna Newella said Mardi Gras had become many things to many people, "It is not just about gays and lesbians," she said. "It's about all different issues that have arisen," she said "freedom of speech, being able to represent one's identity and being able to put a political point across."

The first Mardi Gras took place on June 24, 1978 as a protest against a ban on homosexuality in Australia. It began as an improvised street party following a gay-rights rally. However when a city official interrupted the festivities, things turned ugly. On that night there were 53 arrests and many allegations of police brutality. Homosexuality was later decriminalised in Australia in 1984.

Local businesses realise the economic importance of the event, which is a huge money-spinner, they say. Visitors to Sydney for last year's Mardi Gras contributed an estimated $46 million to the State's economy. Organisers say about 6000 international visitors, the majority from Britain and the USA, attended this year's event. "We came all the way from America to see this," Mrs Phyllis Drucker 67, from Los Angeles, said. "We were told it's the best in the world, and we're going to have a ball."

A float entitled "Love Between the Flags" highlighted the need for racial harmony and cultural acceptance following last year's Cronulla riots. Creative director Graham Browning said the theme of the parade, "I believe", aimed to reflect political and social issues. The NSW Police service, with 45 members also marched in the parade.

Mardi Gras parade chief Deborah Cheetham, an internationally renowned soprano, rejected suggestions the parade was passe. "Maybe we're just in that period of transition. It's not tired," said Cheetham, who led the parade with her partner and 14-year-old daughter. "There will always be a need for Mardi Gras."

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the parade was a celebration of Sydney's diversity. "When you're a child the thing that really excites you is either Christmas or the Royal Easter Show and I think as an adult Mardi Gras is the only equivalent," Ms Moore told reporters.

"I didn't want to miss any of this," said 17-year-old Jennifer Mackay from outer Sydney, who arrived with three friends 10 hours before the start.

"It's like Christmas for the gay and lesbian community," said the parade's creative director, Graeme Browning.

Iranian refugee child granted $400,000 in compensation for "psychological harm"

March 4, 2006 Eleven-year-old Iranian refugee boy, Shayan Badraie, who suffered psychological injuries during his time spent inside Australia's immigration detention centres, will receive a Federal Government payout of AU$400,000 in compensation. The government will also pay his family's legal bill of more than $1 million.

Between 2000 and 2002 the Badraie family were incarcerated behind the razorwire of the (now mothballed) Woomera Detention Facility, a remote desert camp in outback South Australia - and later sent to the Villawood Detention Centre in Sydney. In 2001, video footage of his condition was smuggled out of Villawood, inciting national debate over Prime Minister John Howard's controversial policy of detaining children.

Badraie's family lawyer, Rebecca Gilsenan, said the family are "looking forward to living a normal life in the community. The settlement will enable the treatment he needs to somehow rectify the damage done in the detention centres. The fact the Government has settled the case indicates a serious concern on their part they were going to be found guilty of negligence," Gilsenan told reporters.

Shayan, his father and stepmother arrived in Australia in 2000, and were sent immediately to the notorious Woomera desert camp. During his 17 months incarceration, Shayan stopped drinking, eating and speaking.

"He witnessed a series of incredibly traumatic and violent events, the sort of events no adult or no child should be exposed to," Gilsenan said. "Within a year of being detained at the detention centre... he had developed psychiatric illness to the point of diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and later depression," she said.

The court heard evidence from former senior immigration official Philippa Godwin that detention could damage the mental health of refugees - directly contradicting the Government's claims the centres were safe. Opposition immigration spokesman Tony Burke said: "Children should never have been put in detention and money will never undo the damage and pain."

The Department of Immigration said the agreement was "no admission of guilt". Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone says she does not believe a $400,000 is a backdown. Vanstone said an offer was made to the Badraie family's lawyer some time ago but they turned it down.

Compared with similar countries, Australia has some of the toughest policies in the world against refugee arrivals. Policies include immediate mandatory detention of boat arrivals, the detention of workers and students who overstay their visas are sent to detention camps under harsh conditions. Immigration detainees often languish in limbo with some up to six years while their cases are being heard. These camps have been condemned by many international human rights groups.

Greens senator Kerry Nettle says "hundreds of children have been mentally scarred by their time in immigration detention and further claims are planned." She blames the Federal Government's policy of mandatory detention.

"The Government has accepted the responsibility for the health consequences of their policy of mandatory detention," Senator Nettle said. "There is a raft of children, we are talking hundreds of children, and adults, who have had their mental health significantly impacted by the policy of mandatory detention."

She rejected that the Federal Government deserve congratulations over settlement: "To have gone through these proceedings, and spent the amount of money they have spent, to put Shayan's mother in the witness box for two weeks, is not an indication of a willingness and public accountability by the Government to accept responsibility for their actions," Senator Nettle said.

Lawyer Rebecca Gilsenan says the landmark case may pave the way for more litigation by other refugee families. It is the first time the Department has conceded that a child has been psychologically harmed in its detention.

Gilsenan says the outcome sets a precedent for other detainees. "The problems that Shayan experienced were systemic problems rather than ones that were just specific to him, although the particular treatment that he received was disgraceful," she said. "So it's quite possible that there are other children or even adults out there who lived in a similar environment during that time in immigration detention and possibly have similar problems."

She says she hopes the systemic problems highlighted in the case will now be addressed. "I can only hope that the Government takes notice of this and doesn't continue to spend taxpayer money on having to compensate people for treating them in a disgraceful way in immigration detention."

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 Hugues. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hugues~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Deported Australian granted visa after two years in Serbian limbo

March 5, 2006

An Australian resident, deported to Serbia in 2004, will return home to Sydney this week. The Immigration Department says Robert Jovicic will be given a special purpose visa and his status as a permanent resident will be reinstated.

He became a nationless man, impoverished, battling mental health problems and sleeping on the streets of Belgrade. Mr Jovicic, 39, was born in France and arrived in Australia as a two-year-old with his Serbian-born parents. Like nearly one million Australian residents eligible for Australian citizenship, Jovicic never officially became an Australian citizen.

Ex-Federal Immigration Minister, and now Attorney General, Philip Ruddock ordered Jovicic's deportation on character grounds in June 2004 - after he was jailed for committing crimes in support of a heroin addiction. Mr Jovicic says he had since kicked his drug habit.

The current Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said it was a "very hard decision" to allow Mr. Jovicic to return to Australia. "[the community] expected to be protected from non-citizens who break the law. On balance, after some anguished consideration, I decided to allow him to return," the Minister said. She said Mr Jovicic was not stateless, he had just refused to apply for Serbian citizenship.

His family say Serbia revoked his citizenship after discovering "the paperwork used by Australian authorities to deport him was invalid". They claim he has since been unable to work, access doctors, welfare or even book a hotel. His family also claims that he does not speak Serbian, and has not been permitted to work because of this. He says he is grateful his ordeal is nearing an end.

Robert Jovicic's sister says people have no reason to fear her brother's return to Australia. "People need to be reminded that he's not a drug addict any more. He stopped using a long time ago," Susanna Jovicic said. "If people fear that he's going to re-offend, I think that he's more chance of winning lotto," she said. "All he wants is his life back. I think that's the most paramount thing that people need to understand. Once he'd done his time, I know that in jail he stopped (using heroin). He came out, he started a new life."

Ms Jovicic said the family is yet to pursue compensation. "I can tell you right now, we have not had a conversation about compensation..." she said. "We just want him home." She says the first priority will be to seek medical treatment. Her brother's health problems include scoliosis, an enlarged prostate, mental illness, sand in his kidneys and the need of a catheter to urinate.

She said Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone's decision to allow his return "validates our belief that Robert was wrongly deported," she said. "I think anybody who has been deported has the legal right to return. The family will be there at the airport waiting for him and it will be quite emotional."

Minister Vanstone said in a November 2005 media release: "Mr Jovicic is not an Australian citizen: Mr Jovicic, a convicted criminal, had his Permanent Visa cancelled in October 2002 under Section 501 of the Migration Act by the former Minister for Immigration, Philip Ruddock... As an adult between 1984 and 2002, Mr Jovicic was convicted on charges of burglary, theft, possessing stolen property and possessing prohibited substances. In 1998 Mr Jovicic applied for Australian citizenship but was refused on the grounds that he was not of good character."

Commonwealth Ombudsman John McMillan found Senator Vanstone's department had unfairly deported people with criminal records who had lived in Australia since they were children. However, Vanstone said she supports the changes to the Migration Act which allow the Immigration Minister to "deport non citizens who break the law on character grounds and make the decision unappealable."

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 Crazy18. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Crazy18~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.

Talk:Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras celebrated by 450,000 people

Great Writing
As usual for Elliot; the article really puts the reader into the scene. Neutralizer 16:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. But some bastard has deleted the very excellent CC pic I found.- I'm putting it back. -elliot_k 16:15, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry about the title change; but at least I can put the pic back. Neutralizer 00:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Title
One thing and just wondering; Shouldn't "gay and lesbian" be in the title? Neutralizer 16:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think so; maybe I'll be bold with this..no more closets for anybody. Neutralizer 16:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * NO! But its too late now! As I was about to say before your edit conflict: I'd prefer not to as this implies a dominant cultural POV.--elliot_k 16:13, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Photo's
Jasabella said that she was going to go along and get some photo's - hopefully they'll appear sometime today. - Borofkin 00:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * NOTE: I have just recieved permission from the photographer of the pic I posted yesterday. --elliot_k 03:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (Australia - Centre of the Universe)

 * Craig must've missed Elliot's note; I have replaced image and asked Craig to use this talk page. Neutralizer 17:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The image is about to be deleted on Commons. Commons does not accept non-commercial no-derivatives licensure. Wikinews cannot accept non-commercial licensure. Elliot K, can you ask the photographer to release it under CC-by-nd? -  Amgine | talk en.WN 17:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Sigh... Its cool. And I have asked him about it. Although I'm currently unable to check my emails. Either way the photographer has said already its fine for wiki to use it... So I really don't see the problem with it. --elliot_k 05:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The issue is that we can't use it unless he declares that it is fine for *anybody* to use it, not just us. It needs to be released under a license that has no restrictions at all on reuse. Wikinews content is reused by other sites, and the photographer may not have given explicit permission for those sites to use it. For example, a homophobic site may re-use the image to vilify gay's, and according to our licensing rules, that's okay. If he has said to you that it can be released under such a license (without any restrictions, non-commerical or otherwise), then you should update the description on the commons page, and everything should be fine. - Borofkin 05:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Well yes, I realise all that. And as I already said, I'm waiting for a second response. By the way, the image is from Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/44124447823@N01/107968865/ It irks me the lengths I/we need to go to to put a little bit of colour on this dreary website! I wish the world had a better general understanding of CC licence stuff.--elliot_k 05:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I also wish that CC became more widespread... I've spent many e-mails attempting to convince Sydney Indymedia that they should change their default license to CC-A. - Borofkin 05:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Indymedia sites almost all use the basic "Copleft" notion. Some have CC buttons. I'd like to see wn and imc more compatible. I will discuss with a few others in the collectives and see...--elliot_k 06:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Deported Australian granted visa after two years in Serbian limbo

Italics
There is emphasis on the quote beginning with "Mr Jovicic is not an Australian citizen:". I'm going to remove it, because I don't think it's needed and inserts a little bit of POV (essentially, the point we stress is that he's a criminal, and we don't do the same for the counter-arguments).

 * Thanks. It was an error.--elliot_k 17:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hah, okay, I finally get why you did that. I couldn't understand what RFC 3092 had to do with anything at all. I get it now. Honestly. I do. Woohoo. .... I feel accomplished. --- Check that out! Mediawiki autolinks RFC followed by a number. That's cool, too.

I see your WN:POINT and raise you a WP:POINT ! :)
I've created a CfD on wikipedia to poll their opinions on Category:Terrorism. IMHO, we should undelete if they have convincing arguments for keeping. I'm not currently convinced by your particular arguments, but we shall see what happens on WP. Nyarlathotep 18:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems my CfD has generated remarkably little interest, and it may not be the useful sort of interest anywho. Anyway, I apologize for arguing in favor of the deletion of this category without first further consulting wikipedia's history. I might still have supported it, but I'd have thought about it a lot more Some editors may feel that we need to demonstrate our independance from wikipedia, but I do not. I feel we should exploit the debate they put into a topic whenever possible (see userbox issue). Nyarlathotep 23:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Requests for arbitration
Edbrown05 asked that you provide an example of the user boxes which had caused the dispute.

Here is the babel template that Amgine requested I remove from my userpage.

RfAr accepted
Your request for arbitration has been accepted. Please visit Requests for arbitration/Amgine/Evidence and begin adding evidence. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Please do not use your userpage as a personal website. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 20:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Your question is circular. I can ask exactly the same question of you: "We are here to write news stories, that is our primary goal, why should what one user may have on his userpage, be the end of the world?"

 * A more appropriate question is: "Does what a user places on his/her userpage have specific benefit to the project?" Another is: "Are there costs associated with what a user places on his/her userpage?" And: "In what way do userboxes work toward the goals and missions of the project?" -  Amgine | talk en.WN 21:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

fixing deletion requests
hi, i see u readded some comments removed by neutraliser on deletion requests. just wanted to point out that some of the newlines/indent have got mangled in the Category: Nuclear Proliferation discussion. (not sure what is going on with these edits, so didn't fix it myself). cheers, Doldrums 05:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for correcting it. That was an extreme unintentional screwup.. I don't even know how it was possible? Could it have been an edit conflict? Neutralizer 13:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Could I have edited an out of date revision? Neutralizer 14:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Why are you supporting a temporary injunction on userboxes?
This does not seem reasonable, please explain it to me. StrangerInParadise 08:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm only supporting it (weakly) beacue it pains me to see, the deletion/undeletion/deletion that has gone on. This SHOULD ONLY last untill the arbcom reaches in decision. And I hope that their decision will be that; in current policy userboxes should be keeped. Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 08:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Why not do as I have done, and call for a moritorium on deletions, not on creations? StrangerInParadise 09:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * yes, your right, it should only be on deletions, it was midnight when I supported it- i was half asleep :) Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 18:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Yet, you still have not changed your support on this, why? Also, do you really support Amgine's babel proposal? Consider this. StrangerInParadise 18:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Transit strike affects 100,000 in Helsinki

March 6, 2006

In Helsinki, the Finnish trade union for bus and truck drivers has gone on strike on Sunday evening, mainly over the use of part-time labor. The strike is estimated to affect 100,000 people in the capital area, crowding the remaining transit system on Monday morning. The strike is halting almost half of all bus traffic in and around Helsinki, especially hurting travellers commuting from outlying cities Espoo and Vantaa, where over 60% of bus traffic will be stopped.

The strike also affects 4,000 of Finland's 55,000 delivery trucks, as well as waste management in many areas. The strike is not affecting trains, trams or the underground, but heavy crowding is to be expected. Authorities are also warning of traffic jams during rush-hours as people use personal cars instead of public transportation.

New Zealand's 2006 Census is held tonight

March 7, 2006 Tonight is Census night in New Zealand, when all people in the country are legally required to fill in Census forms. The census of population and dwellings is conducted by the New Zealand government department Statistics New Zealand, which (with two exceptions) has done so every five years since 1881. This year is the first time that New Zealanders can choose whether to fill in the traditional paper forms or fill them out online.

6500 Census collectors were employed this year to deliver the forms and collect them over the days following the Census, along with 400 supervisors.

As in previous years, some people have tried to evade the Census. Libertarianz party members and others gathered at the Wellington Botanical Gardens to incinerate their forms. Another man announced he had been cryogenically frozen overnight and pronounced "legally dead" to avoid filling in the forms.

Data collections manager Dave Martyn said legal action would be taken against people deliberately not taking part in the Census. "The fine is usually $500 per form plus court costs. If the person still doesn't fill out the form, the ongoing cost is $20 a day until they do."

Preliminary Census results are scheduled to be released in May 2006.

Wikipedia's Wales is considering a "stable" version

March 10, 2006

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has said that he's considering a "stable" edition of the community-edited encyclopedia, according to an interview with the. The edition would be "a body of work" that has already "been through the community-review process," he proposed.

"The basic idea is that we're going to do a research project to gather feedback on all the articles on the website from the general public. Just a feedback we're going to use for research purposes, first to determine where our strengths and weaknesses are, and then, based on that, we're going to think about what to do as a next step."

With regard to whether this would hurt the democratic spirit of Wikipedia, Wales responded "No, not really. I mean, obviously, we want to be very careful as we change the social model in any way, to not wreck the magic of what works. I guess in that sense it's a concern, but we don't really have any worries about it."

Plans to create stable versions of articles date back for years, with the most serious of discussion happening from fall 2005 on.

To experiment with Wikipedia, The Star submitted a new article on former East York mayor. None of the errors were corrected until after the Star acknowledged the false information.

2006 Oscars handed out at Kodak Theatre

March 6, 2006

The 78th were hosted by, host of Comedy Central's .

Crash won the Best Picture award, a surprise for many predictors. Co-producer commented "[thank you for] embracing our film, about love and about tolerance, about truth. Thank you to the people all around the world who have been touched by this message. And we are humbled by the other nominees in this category. You have made this year one of the most breathtaking, and stunning, maverick years in American cinema, thank you."

Paul Haggis and also won best original screenplay for Crash.

Directed and co-produced by Canadian Paul Haggis, film distribution rights were purchased for just USD$3 million by Lions Gate Films. Noted film critic called it his favourite picture of 2005, and the picture made many North American "10 best" lists.

Backstage, Best Director winner commented to the press on how  refreshed his will to direct. "Before I get into making this movie, I was very tired from two very ambitious work, ' and '. I almost wanted to retire. I felt I had enough, I hit the bottom, sort of like my mid life crisis or something, and this movie teach me how to look at myself, how to manage myself in movie making again, enjoying making them, and the movie was shot very simple, nothing special, but most important, it taught me again, it's about human emotions, drama and acting."

Foreign Language Film winner Gavin Hood () commented that he felt the Oscar win would "change the way South Africans view their moviemaking... hopefully it means that people will keep investing in our local stories, because this gives investors a little more confidence and what we want more than anything else is that people and human emotion is universal and we're more alike than we think we are around the world... we're actually so similar as human beings inside."

Tsotsi was the People's Choice Award winner at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, while Crash debuted at the fest in 2004. Capote and Brokeback Mountain both played at the festival days after debuting at the Telluride Film Festival. TIFF's winners often go on to win Best Picture or Best Foreign Language Film; ' (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), ', and  are such examples.

Stewart's humor fell short of expectation for most North American film and television critics who commented on the broadcast.

At one point, Stewart jokingly chastised Hollywood for being "out of touch" with mainstream American values. Actor George Clooney later responded to this notion, saying, "We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood. It’s probably a good thing. We’re the ones that talked about AIDS when it was just being whispered. And we talked about civil rights when it wasn’t really popular. We bring up subjects. This group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I’m proud of this Academy, of this community. I’m proud to be out of touch."

"Not as well-received"
I don't know about the line about Jon Stewart's jokes not being well received, as well as Clooney "responding" to the "allegations". This makes it sound like it was a Sean Penn-esque rebuff of Stewart's joke. Clooney knows it was a joke, and took it in stride. He probably had those comments in his mind before the joke. That's my interpretation anyway. --65.27.31.52 02:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Brokeback Mountain
Why did Brokeback Mountain lose to Crash? just because it's a gay themed movie?!!!

Dvdrs.net closes - "can not recover from recent events"

March 6, 2006

Dvdrs.net, a usenet search engine targeted by the (MPAA) in its recent anti-piracy campaign, has closed while the site is restructured. Part of the restructuring will be the deletion of its index.

In a statement posted on dvdrs.net just days before its disappearance, Descds, a site administrator, said, "The site will be closed for restructure. All reference to Usenet will be removed, the logo adapted (its a long time coming anyway) and NZB indexing sections dropped."

Descds reports that he is unhappy about Dvdrs.net being seen as a piracy network, as it has been since news of the MPAA's actions. "Since the PR press release broke we have been seen as an organized pirate network and this is unacceptable. In the first day of the press release we had 100 new members sign up looking for pirated movies. This has continued everyday since and we will not allow DVDRS to be used this way. We have not, will not and never shall host illegal files here," he said.

"We also understand that DVDRS will always be seen, in light of recent press, as a site that dealt in illegal file sharing. We feel there is no way we can recover from this and thus will re-launch Talk DVD with some of DVDRS database and ideas."

Descds also stated that he hoped the MPAA could see that he was happy to work with the MPAA to reach a resolution, maintaining that he had done nothing wrong and that the site was far more than a usenet indexing site.

"Indexing Usenet is still a part of the site granted, but we are now far more than that with in depth articles on DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, DVD+R DL, DVDRAM, BLU-RAY and HD DVD media, software and hardware technology. We also have a healthy movie, game and hardware review section as well as active news. Our forums are also more about technology than Usenet," Descds said in his statement.
