Welcome
Welcome!

138.210.111.130, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews:
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Here are some other hints and tips:

 * I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information (not even an e-mail address), and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

 * When using talk pages (the "collaboration" tab at the top of the page), or the comments pages (tab "opinions"), please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Anonymous101 (Talk) 10:50, 8 March 2008 (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 Hillary8865. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hillary8865~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)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:32, 21 April 2015 (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 Superpescador. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Superpescador~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.

Malaysian opposition gains in elections, conquers four new state legislatures

March 10, 2008

The elections in Malaysia have resulted in gains by opposition parties. The ruling Barisan National (BN) Coalition's fraction has fallen below two thirds (The requisite supermajority to amend the constitution), while still maintaining an absolute majority to mass its legislation.

The elections, held on the March 8, were for the Parliament of Malaysia and all the state legislatures, except that of Sarawak. Opposition parties defeated the BN in five of the thirteen state legislatures, up from one in the 2004 elections.

A number of commentators noted that the results had been unexpected, including the BBC's Robin Brant, who stated that "no one expected the opposition to do so well across the board."

National Hockey League news: March 8, 2008

March 8, 2008

There were 5 games played in the National Hockey League on March 7, 2008.

Tampa Bay Lightning @ New Jersey Devils
Zach Parise scored the first goal for the Devils at 12:16 into the first period. Michel Ouellet tied the score late in the second period with a power play goal. The game remained tied through the rest of regulation, so it went to overtime. With less than a minute left in the 5 minute 4-on-4, Patrik Elias scored the game winner, giving the Devils their second straight win. The Lightning lost their fourth straight. The Devils outshot the Lightning 33-22. Martin Brodeur made 21 saves, earning his 37th win of the season. Elias had 2 points, assisting on Parise's goal.

Edmonton Oilers @ Columbus Blue Jackets
Edmonton broke a scoreless tie 11:02 into the second period when Fernando Pisani scored on an Oilers power play. With less than a second remaining in regulation, Dan Fritsche put a puck past Mathieu Garon, sending the game to overtime. Andrew Cogliano scored the game winner 1:53 into OT, giving the Oilers their 5th win in 6 games. The Blue Jackets have lost their third straight. Garon made 30 saves for the Oilers. The Blue Jackets outshot the Oilers 31-17.

Minnesota Wild @ Atlanta Thrashers
Brian Rolston scored the first goal of the game for Minnesota on a power play 10:47 through the first period, giving them a 1-0 lead they would hold through the second period. In the third period, Colby Armstrong tied the score for the Thrashers. Minnesota retook a lead with 2:22 left in the third period, but Ilya Kovalchuk pushed in a puck that trickled along the goal line behind Niklas Backstrom, to retie the score and send the game into overtime. In the shootout, Erik Christensen scored the only shootout goal of the night. Johan Hedberg made three stops, giving the Thrashers their first win in franchise history against the Minnesota Wild. The Thrashers also snap an 8 game winless streak. Minnesota has now lost their last three games.

San Jose Sharks @ Chicago Blackhawks
Brent Seabrook scored the first goal for Chicago on their first power play early in the first period. The Sharks tied the score just 17 seconds later when Jonathan Cheechoo scored his 22nd of the season. Kyle McLaren put the Sharks in the lead with his goal at 12:45 in the first period. Jonathan Toews scored his 19th goal of the season with 1:51 left in the first period, to re-tie the score going into the first intermission. Patrick Marleau retook the lead for the Sharks at 14:31 in the second period. Chicago thought they tied it up late in the third period, but the goal was reviewed and nullified because it was deflected in by Rene Bourque's glove instead of his stick. Evgeni Nabokov made 17 saves for the Sharks in his 38th win of the season. Blackhawks goalie Patrick Lalime made 20 saves. Joe Thornton had 3 points, assisting on all 3 San Jose goals.

Nashville Predators @ Calgary Flames
Craig Conroy scored an unassisted goal, breaking a scoreless tie over halfway through the second period. In the third period, Scott Nichol scored at 8:58 to tie the score. About two minutes into the sudden death overtime, J.P. Dumont scored to give the Predators the win. Dan Ellis stopped all but one of the Flames' 30 shots, and improved his record to 18-7-2. Miikka Kiprusoff had 34 saves for Calgary.

Player of the Day
Today's Player of the Day is Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks. Thornton assisted on all three of San Jose's goals in his team's 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. He currently leads the league in assists with 62, and is third in points with 81.

For information on the selection process of the Player of the Day, see this page.

President Bush vetoes CIA waterboarding ban

March 8, 2008 United States President George W. Bush has vetoed a bill that would have banned the Central Intelligence Agency from using harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding, he said in his weekly radio address Saturday.

"Because the danger remains, we need to ensure our intelligence officials have all the tools they need to stop the terrorists," Bush said. "The bill Congress sent me would take away one of the most valuable tools in the war on terror - the CIA program to detain and question key terrorist leaders and operatives."

The bill, which passed the House of Representatives in November and the Senate in February despite warnings that it would be vetoed, established guidelines for intelligence activities. One of these guidelines would limit the CIA to only using interrogation methods allowed in the U.S. Army Field Manual.

The relevant text of the bill reads:

No individual in the custody or under the effective control of an element of the intelligence community or instrumentality thereof, regardless of nationality or physical location, shall be subject to any treatment or technique of interrogation not authorized by the United States Army Field Manual on Human Intelligence Collector Operations.

Among the methods prohibited in the manual are stripping prisoners naked, forcing them to perform sexual acts, beating, electrocuting, or burning them, staging mock executions, withholding food and medical attention, and the controversial technique known as waterboarding.

Waterboarding involves pouring water over a prisoner's cloth-covered face in a simulation of drowning. It is condemned as torture by many nations, human rights groups, and members of Congress.

Although Bush did not specifically mention waterboarding in his address, he did hint to it in some of his statements. "The bill Congress sent me would not simply ban one particular interrogation method, as some have implied," he said. "Instead, it would eliminate all the alternative procedures we've developed to question the world's most dangerous and violent terrorists."

Bush said that the methods used by the military are designed for interrogating "lawful combatants captured on the battlefield", not the "hardened terrorists" normally questioned by the CIA. "If we were to shut down this program and restrict the CIA to methods in the Field Manual, we could lose vital information from senior al Qaida terrorists, and that could cost American lives," Bush said.

Massachusetts senator Edward Kennedy described Bush's veto as "one of the most shameful acts of his presidency". In a statement released Friday, he said, "Unless Congress overrides the veto, it will go down in history as a flagrant insult to the rule of law and a serious stain on the good name of America in the eyes of the world."

Comments:President Bush vetoes CIA waterboarding ban

President Bush actively supports torture. He is a war criminal. If any other government supported torture George Bush would start a war against them but George Bush is clearly superior so no one can even question his actions, all his actions are 'protecting' US citizens  --82.33.114.90 18:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Good
I'm glad he veto it, this "people" don't even believe in basic human rights so why we have to show human rights too them when they want to kills us all and i would do anything to save human lives that means if i have to give the terrorist 30 seconds of hell then send him back to his cell when he get 3 meals a day. --66.229.16.129 19:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The statement "so why we have to show human rights too them [sic]" is indefensible, no matter what the situation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.196.7 (talk) 08:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Is the CIA a terrorist group?

 * In effect the CIA becomes a terrorist organization . Wiktionary describes a terrorist "anyone who uses terror as a weapon in a political struggle." Below are the facts

So in effect George Bush has encouraged, helped and actively supported a terrorist group. -- Anonymous101 (Talk) 20:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Water-boarding uses terror
 * The war on terror is a political struggle

Bush's Legacy
In contrast to the American presidents that we look back on as inspirations, imagine how we will look back at decisions like this. Imagine how we will look back at what Bush made our country. We have become the complete antithesis of a role model. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.196.7 (talk) 08:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

O.K.;
The word "alleged" is used of all things. So people who are not in uniform (and other things the sorta disqualify them from Geneva), don't follow the geneva convetions by any means, are NOT citizens of the U.S. (with a few rare exceptions), must be given the same due process rights as citizens and should be treated as such.

Well at war, when people are shooting at you, there isn't due process. You shoot back, or die. If you want to believe crazy things like giving these pieces of trash equal rights to actual soldiers at war, or worse that of U.S. citizens, you should join the crazies that think we have to wait two weeks for approval to listen to phone calls from known terrorist supsects that just happen to have a U.S. number at the other end becuase they think that Bush himself is personally listening in to their own intranational phone sex.(24.98.235.224 03:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC))

 *  "The main reason this program has been effective is that it allows the CIA to use specialized interrogation procedures to question a small number of the most dangerous terrorists under careful supervision "  -- weekly radio adress from the alleged most idiotic man on earth (24.98.235.224 16:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC))

 * note: it is still good to doubt public officials. Try to find a source contrary or supportive of this alleged claim. --24.98.235.224 16:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

waterboarding
DEAR ALL

WATERBOARDING IS PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED IN THE CONTEXT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND AGAINST THE TERRORISTS. IT IS NOT A PRESIDENTIAL ISSUE BUT WHITE HOUSE CONTROLLED BY ANY PRESIDENT SHOULD DEFEND IT AS A POTENT TOOL AGAINST ANTI-TERROR AND ANTI- NATIONAL ACTIVITIES. PRESENT WHITEHOUSE IS ALSO JUSTIFIED IN DEFENDING ITS USE AGAINST THE TERRORISTS.

Can we get a link of where the act is? (eg, copytext of the final bill, with its number) I want to review it for myself before I call my reps. Also where can we review the voting by our reps on this?

Wikinews:Ignore all rules

Summary
If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikinews, ignore it.

In the main namespace
A number of the policies applied to articles are de-facto non-negotiable. In particular, all articles which are published for indexing by news aggregators, or displayed in RSS feeds, must be subjected to independent peer review.

Regarding common conventions in writing, the introduction to Strunk's The Elements of Style gives a succinct justification for breaking the rules:

title: Wikinews:Ignore all rules


text:
Wikinews talk:Ignore all rules

Policy Proposal
This has long been one of the best rules ever on any Wikimedia project, and it's time it was made written policy here - even though it's been an unwritten rule since forever. Obviously it has to be taken with copious amounts of common sense (you could technically apply IAR to IAR, but that's just recursive logic). This is not a "get out of rules-following free card" - please read the essays and links below to fully understand its' meaning before you vote - I'm initiating this because Adambro is otherwise busy :) --Skenmy(t•c•w) 19:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Further reading:
 * w:Wikipedia:What "Ignore all rules" means
 * Wikipedia:Ignore all rules edit by Jimbo Wales
 * Wikipedia's "Rules to Consider"

Vote for implementation
While one could argue that this policy has always existed, it's time to get something written down.

Please use to support implementation of this policy, or  to oppose implementation.

 * - It's just simple common sense. --Skenmy(t•c•w) 19:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strongly: I refuse to be part of ANYTHING that says throw our policies out the window. If this is implemented, then we may as well delete every policy we have. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Read the essays, please. If you read them you will understand that what you just said is utter rubbish. --Skenmy(t•c•w) 19:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I stand by what I said. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It takes more than two minutes to read the referenced essays. Please do. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

 * IAR can also be written as "Apply Common-sense". --Brian McNeil / talk 20:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * - Like Skenmy put it, “It's just simple common sense.” If this can help make Wikinews even better, then I see no reason why this shouldn't be adopted as official policy. — Lasse Havelund (p) (t) 20:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * , as proposer. - Clearly I would hope that people would already be applying common sense rather than sticking blindly to policies where they go against their efforts to improve Wikinews but it appears that it would be useful to have something written down which says that is okay to do so. Adambro - (talk) 22:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * abstain I would prefer it be re-worded to apply common sense (and/or the wording on some rules be changed to reflect they are guidelines not rules). p.s. We seem to be voting on everything recently.Bawolff ☺☻ 00:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Idea: Make this a proposed policy. Make everything else (except for npov, sources, and any policy needed for leagl reasons) proposed policies as well. Why do we need official policies. The whole idea of an official policy is don't go breaking it (which makes making this an official policy rather contradictory). Bawolff ☺☻ 00:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The whole concept of an official policy is that it is widely accepted. This policy has not yet reached this stage hence it is currently just a proposed policy. However, in this particular case I'd suggest that most editors probably already apply common sense rather than sticking rigidly to policies all the time so there might be a case for saying this is already policy. Adopting this as policy in no way devalues our existing policies. Rather it recognises the limitations of any policy in not being able to cover every possible situation. The idea of this and any policy is not to create yet more rules for people to risk breaking, it is to set down in writing what the community agree is the expected approach to situations. This policy shouldn't change the way in which we work one bit. Policies are still to be followed and respected but editors should be aware, as the already should be, that there can be instances where the policies fail to assist in decision making. Writing something down that says this will hopefully address some editors viewing policies as anything more than a snapshot on community opinion which isn't set in stone. Adambro 12:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * strongly - I think some users will use it as an excuse for edits which clearly break something like NPOV. They could claim it improves Wikinews, i think bawolffs idea is good though. --Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) 18:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Changed to --Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) 15:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a long standing WP policy and I'm not aware of any real issues with it there. Us having this policy is pretty much a necessity to ensure the smooth running of the project. As well thought out or policies, they can't address every situation and IAR is about recognising this and allowing for discretion when ignoring policies is clearly of benefit. IAR can't be used as an excuse for ignoring policies when contributions don't benefit WN, such cases will be treated as an abuse of this and the appropriate policy and the editor dealt with. Adambro - (talk) 18:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * basically focus on our mission and ignore the nonsense. Besides if someone wants to use IAR as a defense for something stupid, you can always ignore the rule that stops you from blocking them :P. --Cspurrier - (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * While standards serve a vital organizational function, the true mission of this site is to get timely and important news out. Some flexibility in aid of common sense and practicality is essential.

BBC Outside Broadcasts to be sold to Satellite Information Services

March 8, 2008 Satellite Information Services Limited (SIS), the racecourse television company part-owned by William Hill (19%) and Ladbrokes (23%), has been named by the BBC as the preferred bidder for its Outside Broadcasts division, one of three active businesses within BBC Resources Ltd. Other SIS shareholders include, Thales (Racal) (23%), United Business Media (19%), Racecourse Association (10%) and the Tote (6% - all figures rounded).

SIS Chief Executive David Holdgate would not comment on the terms of the deal, thought to be between £20m and £50m, but said it would be "an ideal acquisition for SIS" and "a perfect fit with our existing SISLink and sports coverage". The company has long-term contracts with other leading broadcasters, such as Sky and ITV and provides satellite links for live sport and news.

In a statement, the BBC said that it intended to exchange contracts and transfer the Outside Broadcasts business and around 300 staff in the near future, with Andrew Thornton, BBC project director for the sale of the division, saying that "SIS offered the BBC a good deal and best value for licence fee payers". Mark Tugwell, Director, BBC Outside Broadcasts, added "it's time for our business to flourish under new ownership, without the constraints of BBC ownership".

The transfer would mean that SIS will be covering major sporting events including the Beijing Olympics for the BBC in August 2008.

BBC Outside Broadcasts
The division — part of the BBC's commercial subsidiary, BBC Resources Ltd — owns a fleet of 15 television production units plus sound, support and communications vehicles (making a total fleet of over 90) and is based in self-contained premises in Langley, three miles north-west of Heathrow. These units cover events ranging from music festivals and state occasions, to Wimbledon and World Cup football.

BBC Studios
On 7th March 2008 the surprise announcement was made that the studio operation — employing around 350 staff at Television Centre and Elstree — would be "retained by the Corporation as a commercial business" after failing to find a buyer.

BBC Post Production
The fate of this third business has yet to be announced with the BBC continuing negotiations with the preferred bidder "understood to be a company based in west London".

BBC Costume and Wigs
Was not included in the privatisation — in early October 2007 it was announced that the business was to close within six months and the entire stock sold as a complete collection. The sale fell through, and on 14th February 2008 the department ceased trading, with a BBC spokeswoman adding that "the arrangements [the corporation] was pursuing have not worked out and BBC Resources is currently inviting interested parties to consider making an offer to purchase."

BBC Costume and Wigs — which had been trading as part of BBC Studios — was the second largest collection of its kind in the UK, after the leading suppliers Angels The Costumiers.

Background to the Resources sale
The Resources business-to-business unit was formed in 1998 and operates television studios, post-production and outside broadcast facilities for it's parent share-holding company, the BBC. It does not own any studios or premises, its assets being equipment and staff (approximately 960 plus 165 administration staff).

Advertised for sale on 16th August 2007 in the Financial Times, The Times and Broadcast and in 2006-07 making profits of £5.2 million with a revenue of £126 million, the disposal — led by Ernst & Young — invited expressions of interest for the whole division or for each of its three operations separately. The BBC has yet to release the name of the preferred bidder for BBC Post Production.

BBC Resources was the first of the BBC's commercial business-to-business divisions to be set up as a limited company and is the last to be sold, the BBC having previously divested itself of BBC Technology and BBC Broadcast. BBC Enterprises, now known as BBC Worldwide, remained in-house as now does BBC Studios.

It had been intended to float Resources back in 2005, but this was postponed for two years following strike action and ACAS talks in June 2005 — the BBC giving an undertaking that there would be no preparations made to sell the company until January 2007, and no sale allowed before July 2007. It had been hoped to dispose of all three divisions by the end of this month.
