Review of 4 dead after Washington refinery fire
Sorry if I'm a bit anxious, but could you review 4 dead after Washington refinery fire? I just want to know if further writing on behalf of me should be up to that standard. Thanks, and Happy Editing! Buggie111 (talk) 00:42, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Categories, paragraphs. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 00:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

more from WN:AAA
Well, upon insistence from Cirt, I've decided it may be worth a try to approach you here, instead of AAA, with my concerns. I've already outlined over there why I feel the reviewer should have some sort of responsibility for the quality articles he reviews. Please, it takes little to no time to go over and fix a few obvious typos or grammar errors that you see in an article that you're reviewing, or even use Special:Move if needed. Remember, that follows the principle of sofixit too. If something is really choppy, like this, perhaps just fail review altogether. It's absolutely nothing personal and I applaud your work reviewing, I'm just uncomfortable with this general attitude of "not my problem" and feel it needs to be addressed. Apologies if I've been too blunt or unintentionally rude, it's just I get frustrated whenever I see us not trying to do our best. Best regards, Tempodivalse [talk]  20:22, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the first problem is we do need to figure out who is responsible for what. I mean, obviously if something gets past me in review, it is my fault.  That being said, I can't possible take "responsibility" for every article reviewed.  At this point in time there are simply too few people willing to do reviews on a regular basis.
 * My real problem, is this notion of "responsibility". You kept saying on IRC that it was my responsibility to make sure these articles were perfect, my responsibility to fix, etc etc.  Until someone puts it in the policy that reviewers are, in fact, responsibility for every word of every article reviews... I'm gonna continue with the "not my problem" theory simply because I'm angry with being...well.. blamed for everything that is wrong with the articles.
 * Our review process is extensiveness, but no one person is that good, not even me. I'm REALLY good at catching copyvios, we all know that.  I'm fairly good at catching the generic style stuff (though occasionally I forget about cats), I can tell if it newsworthy, I'm fairly good at NPOV (Though some people are super anal about that stuff to a level I can't compete).  But my skill isn't the english portion.  To me, a Copyvio is a million times worse than bad english.  To you, it might be the other way round.  In the end, I rely on the "anyone can edit" wikiness to get those english problems fixed.  -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 21:09, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I can sort-of understand what you're getting at, although I still don't agree with it at all. It doesn't take a brilliant knowledge of English to recognise that this is very difficult reading and clearly against our standards (not spelling out numbers twenty or less, typo in title and inappropriate use of past tense, numerous grammatical errors in main prose, etc.). sofixit. If it's not at least partially a reviewer's responsibility for the quality of the articles one publishes, why do we see so many people getting berated whenever they publish bad stories? Imagine if I published something that was total trash or spam, and I wasn't responsible for the content of the article, no one would contact me about it. At the risk of repeating myself: You publish the article, you make sure the writer did his job correctly. Reviewing is not a rubber-stamp. If reviewers weren't responsible for keeping what they publish to WN:SG standards, then they would all have a careless attitude and let through very shoddy work - and nobody could call them on it. I don't know how else to put this. This seems to me like it should be taken for granted, and is obvious, but whatever.

 * Also, I strongly disagree with the notion we should publish things that are of sub-par quality just to boost production and lower review time - and most of the time, to correct a few minor problems in an article takes less than a minute - if there's a lot to be rewritten, just fail the review altogether. Copyvio, followed by POV, is the worst, of course, but style should be important too - ultimately everything on the checklist is vital. If you publish an article in poor shape and think "oh, someone will fix the problems with it", that's not good. Because chances are, given our small userbase, it won't get fixed for a long time, (especially if you do the review when most of the contributors are asleep you have a rather westwards timezone). And the readers that stumble upon the article in the meantime will not at all be impressed, nor will come back for more later. Anyways, sorry if I rambled too much, but couldn't figure out a shorter way to speak my mind. Cheers. Tempodivalse [talk]  21:53, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I realize we're different than most, but we're still a wiki. We have reviewers and writers and all that... but we still a group think kinda setup. There needs to be some balance somewhere.  Writers get off using it, but the reviewers dont at all?  I mean, you write something bad and "It's a wiki, it isn't one persons article, there is no ownership - several people edited it" but the reviewers get the exact opposite treatment.  How is that fair?  Maybe our review system is broken.  Maybe it shouldn't be one review for each component.  Maybe it should be 5 reviews.  -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 21:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

 * You're still not getting my point. Sure, a writer can create an article under the pretense of "I hope someone comes around and helps edit/improve it". I've nothing against that. But this is inappropriately conflating the reviewing process with the writing process - which are totally different. A reviewer cannot have the luxury of the attitude you describe, because he's our only precaution against a bad article going live and potentially damaging our already brittle reputation. Thus, there should be some additional pressure on him to check everything thoroughly. I've seen it time and again where an article with mistakes was published, and the error not noticed for a long time because: 1) - we don't have a large userbase, and perhaps more importantly, 2) - most editors don't spend time goggling over every published article looking for mistakes. In fact, many errors in live stories have been corrected by casual IP readers - if not for them, they might never have been noticed. I don't know how else to stress that reviewers must feel at least some sense of responsibility to go over things conscientiously if they care at all about the project.

 * Another example: It's bad when someone writes a poor-quality article. It's fivefold worse when that article is published. So it's natural for the reviewer to be more "at fault" when something bad goes live. (Also, if the reviewer is sometimes berated more than the writer, it's because the latter is frequently a newbie, might not know our policies, and thus isn't criticised much. Whereas, the reviewer is an established editor who is expected to know things properly, it's more surprising when he goofs up.) Perhaps the review system is broken, I don't know. I wouldn't object to some clarification in the policies as to a reviewer's duties. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  22:18, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Concerns, continued
(The other thread on this was archived by a bot, so I'll have to start a new thread) Shaka, I'm gravely concerned by your overall behaviour and attitude here. I'm not even talking about this "reviewer responsibility" stuff anymore, but on a larger level. Whenever I approach you with a concern about one of your actions, no matter how gently i try to put it, you almost always either ignore me, or rebuff my comments with things like "bog off" or "not my problem" - not just in IRC, but on-wiki as well. Frankly, I've found this hostile, condescending mindset very offputting; I remember several occasions where users were deterred from writing when you dismissed a problem in their articles as "trash" or "shit". This is completely not the way to to foster a cooperative, community environment and wholly unbefitting for an admin and bureaucrat.

Please. I know everyone must think by now that just I'm pestering you, but this has been of concern to me for some time now and I've become increasingly uncomfortable with it. I'll once again repeat that I have no personal vendetta against you, and much appreciate your contributions to the project in reviewing and article writing, but I feel this has to be addressed somehow. Best regards, Tempodivalse [talk]  17:14, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm ignoring the part about your concerns about my behavior because that's really just you. I mean most of that behavior you notice is me directed at you, because basically every time you ask me something, it's in the form of an accusation.  I don't care if you mean it as such or not, that's how it came across.  And just like this morning, It was bloody obvious I wasn't in a good mood - how do you start off?  Not "Hey Shakata, Whats going on? Why so glum?", it was some accusation about something else.

 * As for the rest of the articles being marked as trash or shit... point them out where I was wrong to speedy them as vandalism/spam/trash - and I'll apologize.

 * I'm glad you're uncomfortable with me, maybe you'll leave me alone. I think it is fairly obvious that we have COMPLETELY GOD DAMN DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE VIEWS on everything.  That's fine, but really... you don't like how I go about things, and I don't like how you go about things.  To my knowledge, every IRC confrontation we've had...has started with you.  Even if asking an "honest" question (it's always an "honest" question... but at least half the times reads like an accusation).  So here's my suggestion on how to resolve this:  You go your way, and I'll go mine.  You pretend you don't see me, and I'll pretend I don't see you.  We'll get along sooo much better. -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 04:24, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Oh, and per that other thread, you never did address what the reviewers responsibilities were on wiki anywhere. I don't mean here, I mean get the community to decide.  Cause... like I said before... we've got opposite view point for everything.  So I don't care what you say, and you disagree with everything I say... neither of us are gonna budge (you because you think you're right and "for the betterment of the project", me because I don't care).  -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 04:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I asked a friend to look over this thread. He indicates that I'm being an ass, but about par for the course for the fact that I'm flipping exhausted.  He also indicated from the way you write that English is not your primary language.  He believes something is being lost in translation and there is a "cultural disconnect".  Makes logical sense me.  After all, every time you say you're being "polite", I feel like you're making an accusation.  Disconnect.  So how about this:  We go our separate ways.  If you've got a specific edit that an issue, put that link on my talk page. No more of this vague "you dismissed a problem in their articles" stuff.  Other than that, I'm gonna pretend you don't exist and I suggest you do the same.  Everyone will be much happier that way.  -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 04:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, I certainly didn't want to sound accusatory (I generally don't like to beat around the bush, and try to be straightforward without coming across as rude). "Shaka, just curious: how long have you been publishing my articles without looking at them?", which is more or less what I said in irc yesterday, seemed to be approaching the matter rather gently. I'm not sure how i can talk to someone about a concern without there being some element of criticism. I'm not accusing you, I'm curious about the reasons why you did what you did. (BTW, English is actually one of my two native languages, maybe I'm just using a more formal style of writing.)

 * If I came across badly, it's because I was disappointed and frustrated that you didn't want (or at least that's how it seems to me) to participate in constructive discussion. Normally, I wouldn't object to just going separate ways during a dispute, but here I'm worried that this attitude (esp. regarding the publishing issue) may adversely affect the project if left unaddressed. But I'll seek third opinion on whether it would be best to just drop this. WRT the reviewer responsibility thing, I'll bring it up at the water cooler too.

 * In any case, I hope there aren't any hard feelings and that we can still be on (somewhat) amicable terms if our paths meet again elsewhere. Best regards, Tempodivalse [talk]  17:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Not particularly bad. Just... tired... you'll notice I've been back to zero reviews and basically no edits.  I'm gonna go take a wikibreak or something.  Anyways... I still think it is safer if we just avoided each other where possible.  Obviously not a big wiki, we'll run into each other... but you catch my drift. -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 20:31, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

User talk:California~enwikinews

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 California. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name California~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 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Heavy earthquake hits Sumatra, Indonesia

April 6, 2010 A heavy earthquake has struck near Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, the US Geological Survey reports. It had a magnitude of 7.7, although its original intensity was measured at 7.6.

According to the USGS, the tremor, which began at 05.15 local time (UTC 22.15 UTC) had a depth of 46 kilometres (28.6 miles) and was 230 kilometres (145 miles) southwest of Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake was originally reported as having a magnitude of 7.6, but was later determined to be 7.8.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said that local tsunami watch was in place for Indonesia.

"A destructive widespread tsunami threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data," although "there is the possibility of a local tsunami that could affect coasts", the centre said. According to the centre, any such tsunami would affect an area no further than 100 kilometers away from the location of the quake.

Geophysicist Gerard Fryer from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre commented that scientists are looking at data from buoys in the ocean to find out whether or not a wave was already generated; however, he said that if there was a tsunami in generated, it wouldn't move a lot of water due to the shallow waters.

There haven't been any reports of casualties or damage as of yet; however, witnesses on the Simeulue island reported that there were power outages, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The BBC also reported power outages in parts of Aceh province, on the northern end of the island of Sumatra.

This temblor is the heaviest to strike the region since March 2008.

Talk:Heavy earthquake hits Sumatra, Indonesia

Review of revision 991334 [Passed]
Passed without categories? I know this is a relatively trivial thing, but categories should have been added before publication. Oh, well...cheers! Benny the mascot (talk) 23:43, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Considering this was very much breaking-news, i think that's okay - quality can be sacrificed somewhat for a speedier publish - as long as it is improved quickly after the story goes live. I actually added categories within two or three minutes after publishing. All fixed now. Tempodivalse [talk]  23:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yea, but still... You risked the possibility that nobody would remember to add the categories post-publish. The situation was less than ideal, is all I'm trying to say. Benny the mascot (talk) 00:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I published the article, not Tempo, and I agree with his reasoning, but if you've got any further questions, I'd be the one to ask them. Cheers, C628 (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The last thing we need is a repeat of this, but I believe that the quality of our articles is a shared responsibility between writer and reviewer. Either of you could have taken the one minute (just one!) required to add 6 categories. Benny the mascot (talk) 00:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I would agree with you in that the quality is a shared responsibility, but I would also say that for breaking news, some small pieces like categories (actually, maybe that's the only piece) can be sacrificed to get the article published sooner, as long as they're fixed quickly, which Tempodivalse did. Also, as the situation has been rectified, I'm not quite sure what this conversation will accomplish, and I expect we both have more important things to do. Cheers, C628 (talk) 00:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * This is more of an opportunity to discuss what should be done in future reviews. As for this particular situation, if Tempodivalse had forgotten to add the categories, there would have been no guarantee that someone else would add them. Benny the mascot (talk) 01:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * (e/c) Actually, I started adding categories within literally seconds of this being published, if you check the history log - only remembered about cats after i pressed "please review this article" and, bit concerned about edit conflicts delaying the review, waited until C628 had finished publishing it (we were collaborating in real-time on IRC, so I was able to time it). In any case, I had no intention of forgetting about them. Tempodivalse [talk]  01:33, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Naperville, Illinois welcomes home Olympic silver medalist Molly Schaus

April 7, 2010

US Olympic ice hockey silver medalist Molly Schaus returned to her hometown of Naperville, Illinois last weekend. Her travels culminated in a visit on Monday to Spring Brook Elementary School, where as a fourth-grader she set the goal of some day being an Olympian. Schaus's dream was fulfilled this year during the Vancouver Winter Olympics, when she played for the US women's ice hockey team and won a silver medal.

As she addressed and answered questions from students and teachers at the grade school, Schaus explained the large amount of work she had to invest to achieve her goals. The Chicago Daily Herald reports that "she has been practicing for three to four hours a day nearly every day for the past year." She told the students to "make a dream and follow it because you never know what can happen and just have fun with it."

The nostalgic visit to her elementary school followed a weekend of other appearances in Naperville, including a celebration last Saturday at Rosebud's Italian Specialties and Pizzeria. Saturday had been declared Molly Schaus Day by Naperville Mayor A. George Pradel, who also gave Schaus a key to the city.

Schaus has not been the only Olympic alumnus to return to the school; figure skater and gold medalist Evan Lysacek returned to his Naperville hometown and spoke to the students at Spring Brook on March 26. "It's amazing we had two Olympians come to our school. It's like 1 million to one that they both get medals," remarked fourth-grader Alexandra Van Cleave.

Schaus lived in Naperville until moving to Massachusetts during her sophomore year in high school, having attended Gregory Middle School for junior high and Benet Academy during her freshman year of high school. After speaking at Spring Brook on Monday, she visited Gregory later that day and then went home to Massachusetts. She is expected to visit the White House with the rest of her team later this year. She will also start preparing for her final season at Boston College.

US announces revised limits on use of nuclear weapons

April 7, 2010

US President Barack Obama today announced a revamp of a policy that dictates the conditions under which nuclear weapons would be used by the United States.

The Nuclear Posture Review, which was published on Tuesday, now completely rules out the use of nuclear weapons by the US in response to an attack using chemical, biological, or conventional weapons. The new document says that the US will use nuclear weapons only in "extreme circumstances," although it did not specify what those circumstances would be. It also commits the US to not develop new nuclear warheads, although the country's arsenal of conventional (non-nuclear) weapons will be maintained.

The document does, however, contain two major caveats. Only countries that comply with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty are subject to the new limitations, meaning that India, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan would be exempt from the limitations, as these countries are non-parties to the treaty, and Iran would be except while in violation of the treaty. Also, the new strategy will maintain the option of reconsidering the pledge not to use nuclear weapons in retaliation to a biological attack, but only if it was judged that such technology had reached a point where the US was vulnerable to such an attack.

The revised strategy is expected to be controversial among both conservatives and liberals, who have, respectively, argued against reducing the power of nuclear weapons and advocated for a pledge to never initiate nuclear warfare. Obama called the new plan one that would enable the US to "move towards less emphasis on nuclear weapons" and that would "make sure that our conventional weapons capability is an effective deterrent in all but the most extreme circumstances."

Obama held an interview at the White House about the new plans, in which he called the new strategy "a series of graded options." He also said that "I’m going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the American people are safe and secure."

German Physical Society demands nuclear disarmament

April 9, 2010

A German newspaper has recently reported on a declaration of the German Physical Society advocating to start negotiations on a Nuclear weapons convention for the elimination of all nuclear weapons before the year 2020.

Encompassing more than 58,000 members and all German laureates of the physics Nobel prize of the recent years, the German Physical Society or Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) represents the largest professional organization of physicists worldwide. Its recent statement advances the forthcoming review conference on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to be held in New York next month. The declaration points out: "Indeed, it is with a certain sense of relief we can state that since the mid-1980s, a large proportion of the more than 70,000 nuclear weapons have been reduced. Yet today’s deployed nuclear weapons are still sufficient to extinguish modern civilization. In addition, nothing has changed about the fundamental inhumanity of nuclear armaments, because their use would affect military targets as well as civilian populations indiscriminately, and thus would be generally contrary to existing international humanitarian law, based on the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice."

The physicists are particularly concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weapons, expecting "that a regional use of nuclear weapons could become more likely if more states or even terror groups obtain access to weapons-grade fissile material". Having a closer look to the continued work of weapon laboratories of the nuclear powers, they state: "We cannot accept that nuclear weapons continue to be developed today." Strengthening the non-proliferation requires the "nuclear powers to meet their responsibility for complete implementation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty", who pledged in its Article VI "to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament".

The DPG addresses in its statement the perspective of a nuclear weapon free world as outlined by US president Barack Obama in his Prague's speech last year and that has been supported by Russia's president, Dmitry Medvedev. Probably, the chances for the physicists have never been better before to achieve a complete abolition of nuclear weapons as it has been negotiated upon in the case of biological und chemical weapons. The continued development of such weapons of mass destruction appears to DPG and its members as "inconsistent with the ethical principles to which we as scientists are committed."

I think earthquakes in itself is regular, but the fact that they're so strong, and that there are so many of them does scare me a little.

Red Shirts cause state of emergency in Thai capital

April 9, 2010

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva declared a state of emergency in Bangkok, Thailand and its surrounding areas today with the intention of combating anti-government protesters. The proclamation was made shortly after a group of Red Shirts, the common name for a political group in Thailand, stormed parliament. Senior officials were airlifted in a Black Hawk helicopter while other ministers were forced to jump over a wall at the back of the compound. The protesters left without violence after meeting opposition from members of parliament in the building.

The declaration of a state of emergency terminated military regulations and suspended certain civil liberties; one of these being the right to public gatherings of more than five people. This is the fourth state of emergency declared in Thailand because of political turmoil. Although the army has used violence in the past, they have been largely reluctant to attack or disperse large mobs. With a disabled military, one soldier carrying an M16 rifle was forced to flee from protesters; his weapon was stolen from him after being wrestled to the ground. Prime Minister Abhisit and army officials understand that a violent clash between authorities and anti-government protesters would worsen the political climate.

The military has been cautious about taking violent action against the people, but these feelings have not been reciprocated by Red Shirts. Two policemen were harmed by a grenade explosion at the central headquarters of the Abhisit's Democrat party in an altercation on Tuesday. These protesters view their prime minister as an "Oxford-trained economist" being controlled by an unelected cabal. The protesters have resolved that if another election went underway they would respect the results and call off further disturbances.

US air carrier Spirit Airlines announces $45 carry-on baggage fee

April 8, 2010

The United States air-carrier Spirit Airlines announced Tuesday that it will begin charging up to US$45 in fees for carry on baggage. The fees target baggage which is stowed in overhead bins, and not under seats. The fees will take effect for travelers who fly on or after August 1.

Spirit will charge US$45 for passengers who pay at the airport, US$30 for those who pay in advance, and US$20 for members of its frequent flyer program. Spirit already charges between US$15–45 for the first checked bag, and up to US$345 for five checked bags.

The move is the latest in an industry trend which is moving to lower upfront fares, and more hidden fees such as baggage fees or the loss of free services such as meals. Even the measure of charging passengers for restroom use as has been proposed by Irish carrier Ryanair. Ryanair also closed all of its check-in desks in 2009, relying more on on-line check ins.

There has been a push among US lawmakers to introduce legislation to make the pricing of airfare more upfront by listing the post ticket fees. The backer of a proposed bill to enforce this, Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, said that it will allow travelers to understand all the charges from when they book the flight to when they check their bag.

Eurozone economy did not grow at all in last quarter of 2009

April 8, 2010 According to revised official figures, the economy of the eurozone, the sixteen European countries using the euro, did not grow at all in the final quarter of last year. Eurostat reports that the number was revised from an initial figure of +0.1%.

Meanwhile, the eurozone's lost more than 2.2% in a year-on year comparison, more than the initial estimate of 2.1%.

According to the numbers, Ireland saw an output drop of 2.3% in the last quarter of 2009, while Greece, the country in the eurozone with the most debt, had its economy contract by 0.8%. Italy was down by 0.3%, Germany saw no gain, but France posted a 0.6% quarterly growth.

The Associated Press reports the stagnation was unexpected by analysts, and will only reinforce expectations that the European Central Bank will keep the key interest rate at one percent for most of 2010.

Qatari diplomat detained on Las Vegas bound flight

April 9, 2010

A man tried to ignite his shoes during a flight from Washington, DC to Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday. Air Marshals subdued the Qatari diplomat on board the airplane before it landed safely at Denver International Airport in Colorado. The airplane was United Airlines Flight 663, a Boeing 757 with 157 passengers and 6 crew members on board.

A search concluded that there were no explosives on the plane. NBC News reports that there was smoke coming from a restroom which led to an air marshal subduing the suspect.

The diplomat was reportedly smoking a cigarette in the plane's lavatory. He also reportedly stated, jokingly, that he wanted to light his shoe on fire. It is unlikely that he will face charges due to his diplomatic immunity.

After the incident was reported by the pilot, military jets scrambled and escorted the airplane safely to Denver. The TSA and law enforcement agencies took the suspect into custody and are currently investigating the incident.

This incident occurs just as many countries are trying to lift their airplane restrictions caused by a Nigerian man who tried to detonate explosives in his underwear.

Comments:US air carrier Spirit Airlines announces $45 carry-on baggage fee

The carriers and the public need to just get over themselves and adjust the ticket pricing for weight.

Yes, I said it. If you weight more, you pay more.

The cost of operating the flight is directly proportional to the weight of the "cargo", which is people. This isn't to say I, or the airlines, don't care about "the value of human life", or anything like that. Everyone has value, as a person. But on a transport system, they are mass times gravity = weight. We don't demand that FDX or UPS carry a box of books at the same price as a box of pillows, but when you fly yourself -- effectively as cargo - the public demands a free ride. Those days must end.

The pricing system obviously wouldn't be completely proportional (e.g., a 15 kilo child wouldn't have a fare 1/5th that of a 75 Kg adult), but there would be a scale of adjustment. Maybe it could even work downward, too, so that if you are below the median weight, you save money.

Because the public and the airlines don't have the sack to own up to this reality we are suffering with all these new and various schemes for charging for baggage, where as the actual goal is to set pricing so that the cost of the flight operation is covered plus a reasonable profit for the airline. The way to do that is to quit fiddling with check bags and carry on bags and charge for the entire weight being carried per ticket, yourself included.

Now please pass the cream cheese.

UK interest rates remain at 0.5%

April 8, 2010

The Bank of England has decided to keep the interest rates for the United Kingdom at 0.5%. A meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), of the Bank of England, was responsible for causing the figure to remain at what are the lowest interest rates for the country on record. They have remained at 0.5% since March 2009. The course of quantitative easing, a form of monetary policy used to stimulate an economy when the interbank interest rate is either at or close to zero, will also be remaining at approximately £200 billion (US$304 billion, €228 billion) in the UK.

Mervyn King, the current Governor of the Bank of England, is also currently the leader of the MPC. He noted that it will take a great amount of time for the economy of the UK to recover. The British Chambers of Commerce, a trade organisation representing British business abroad, have also stated that reconstruction is still currently "fragile".

David Kern, the chief economist of the BCC, commented: "We expected and support the [MPC's] decision to continue with a holding approach. But, it should consider new techniques aimed at improving the effectiveness of the quantitative easing programme." He also commented that "[g]iven the dangers still facing the economy, it is important that the MPC perseveres with an expansionary strategy. Threats of a double-dip recession remain more serious in the near future than risks of higher inflation."

The United Kingdom emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09 in the fourth quarter of 2009. According to the BBC, recent official statistics revealed the country's economy grew by 0.4% in the final three months of last year.

Thread:Comments:US air carrier Spirit Airlines announces a $45 carry-on baggage fee/Bullshit/reply

This is, for all practical purposes, the same thing as raising the price of the ticket, considering most everyone takes on a carryon. Except that it looks better on the online ticket price list, and they can brag about having "lower ticket rates than the competition" - carefully turning a blind eye to the insane carry-on fee. Typical sneaky nickel-and-dime-ing.

Best news I've seen in a long time!! Maybe just maybe now those of us who actually follow the policies will get space to set down our purses and not be crowded out by all the morons who think bringinh their laptop/briefcase, backback or oversized purse and two weeks worth of clothes will be able to get through lines and actually use the space we pay for. I hope Spirit Air sticks to it!

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Figurehead. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Figurehead~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.

Thread:Comments:US air carrier Spirit Airlines announces a $45 carry-on baggage fee/Bullshit/reply (3)

Bah!

I don't fly regularly anymore, but I used to - with one carry-on case, enough for a long weekend, and no need to check anything into the hold.

In the twenty-odd years I've had that battered case, the carry-on allowance has got smaller, and smaller. Yes, it needed to; many people abused it, taking a case, and a bulky laptop bag, and a couple of carrier bags of duty-free.

But $45 for a single item carryon? Get to  ! Just say everything you carry on must fit in a specific sized box or measuring device. If not, must be checked.

Instead, as others say, we're all getting nickled and dimed and conned with bullshit about ultra-cheap fairs tat are going to triple by the time you've sorted getting yourself and your stuff moved.

If you really want to know what crappy service is - scope out how nickle'n'dimed you'd get with Ryanair, they charge you if you want checked in by a human being and have even talked about putting a coin slot on the plane toilets!

This will be the worst decision that spirit will make. Spirit calls themselves an " ultra lost cost airline." This is by far the worst move by Spirit. I travel with them up to 4 times a month if they really do this I will opt to NEVER use spirit again.

I really hope that the Spirit really reconsiders there new plan.

Obama, Medvedev sign treaty cutting nuclear stockpiles

April 9, 2010

U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev have signed a treaty to reduce their countries' nuclear stockpiles by 25 to 30 percent over seven years.

In the Spanish Hall, an ornate chamber within the Czech capital's, the two countries, which own more than 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons, agreed to downsize their arsenals.

Presidents Obama and Medvedev sat in front of U.S. and Russian flags and signed their countries' first major nuclear arms reduction accord in almost two decades.

The new ten-year pact, which is called the "", requires the U.S. and Russia to cut their inventory of nuclear warheads to about 1,500 each in the next seven years. Both countries are estimated to have well over 2,000 warheads now.

The agreement also slashes by more than half the number of missiles, submarines and bombers that carry the weapons.

The pact replaces the 1991 (START I), which was signed by U.S. President  and Soviet President  in the final days of the. START I expired in December of last year. The treaty complements the other two nuclear arms reduction treaties signed by the United States and Russia, which where the 1993 Russia, which where the 1993 treaty and the 2002  also known as SORT.

Obama said the treaty is a big step forward for world security. "Today is an important milestone for nuclear security and nonproliferation and for U.S.-Russia relations," he said.

Medvedev said because of this treaty, the entire world community has won. The Russian leader said the year-long negotiations were tough, but hard work on both sides brought success.

"That enabled us to do something that just a couple of months ago looked like 'mission impossible.' Within a short span of time we prepared a full-fledged treaty and signed it," he said.

Obama says, in addition, that the treaty paves the way for future arms reduction talks with Russia, mainly on short-range nuclear weapons. "This treaty will set the stage for further cuts, and going forward, we hope to pursue further discussions with Russia on reducing both our strategic and tactical weapons, including non-deployed weapons," he said.

Tom Collina, research director at the Arms Control Association, says the new treaty is significant in reducing the threat from U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons, but more significant because it could lead to further cuts.

"We think we can even go to deeper reductions, and we hope they sign a new treaty after this one relatively soon. But this treaty is a great step forward, it is very important, and it puts U.S. and Russian arms control back on a firm footing, and, again, sets us up for deeper cuts," he said.

The signing of the "New START" treaty is one of several arms control developments taking place in several weeks.

Earlier in the week, President Obama announced a major shift in U.S. nuclear policy. He said for the first time that preventing nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism is at the top of the U.S. nuclear agenda. The threat of destruction by Russian warheads is now considered a secondary menace.

Under Obama's nuclear posture review, the U.S. pledges not to use nuclear weapons on non-nuclear countries that abide by their nonproliferation obligations.

, a former arms control adviser to President, says the president's nuclear posture review is based on a false and dangerous premise. "The idea that he can, by reducing America's nuclear arsenal, contribute to the universal abandonment of nuclear weaponry. It will not happen. It will not happen on his watch. It will not happen ever," he said.

Obama also plans to hold a conference on nuclear security next week in Washington, D.C..

In their hour-and-a-half meeting before the ceremony, President Obama urged Medvedev to support new U.N. sanctions against Iran for its refusal to stop enriching uranium. The Russian leader said the issue is not whether to impose sanctions, but what kind of sanctions.

"Smart sanctions should be able to motivate certain parties to behave properly, and I am confident that our teams that will be engaged in consultations will continue discussing this issue," he said.

Obama said, "We are working together at the to pass strong sanctions on Iran and we will not tolerate actions that flout the  (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty)." He added, "My expectation is that we are going to be able to secure strong, tough sanctions on Iran this spring."

The nuclear treaty is almost certain to be approved in the. However, Russian Foreign Minister has said Russia reserves the right to drop out of the pact if it believes U.S. missile defense plans for Europe threaten its security.

Many experts agree passage in the is not as certain, but that its prospects are good. To ratify the treaty, it will require 67 votes, to pass it will require votes. Republicans in the Senate have expressed concerns that too many restrictions have been placed on America's nuclear arsenal.

However, Obama is confident the treaty will be ratified when asked during a press conference following the signing. Obama stated, "And so I'm actually quite confident that Democrats and Republicans in the United States Senate, having reviewed this, will see that the United States has preserved its core national security interests, that it is maintaining a safe and secure and effective nuclear deterrent, but that we are beginning to once again move forward, leaving the Cold War behind, to address new challenges in new ways."

Obama also noted, "[T]hat both in Russia and the United States, it’s going to be posed on the Internet, appropriate to a 21st century treaty. And so people not only within government but also the general public will be able to review, in an open and transparent fashion, what it is that we’ve agreed to." Copies of the treaty and it's protocol have been posted on the State Department's website.

British Airways and Iberia sign merger deal

April 9, 2010

British Airways (BA) and the Spanish airline Iberia have signed a merger deal, which will create one of the largest air carrier groups in the world.

The two announced the merger yesterday, and said that the deal, which has been expected for a long time, is to be implemented by the end of 2010. The move will make a group with a market value of US$8 billion. The deal has been negotiated since July 2008.

Under the plan, both companies keep their own brands and operations, but will be owned by International Airlines Group, a new holding company. It will be listed in London, but taxed in Spain.

The airlines believe the merger will save $530 million annually. In February, BA reported a loss of $102.4 million for the final three quarters of 2009, whilst Iberia posted an operating loss of $629 million.

Meanwhile, investors in BA will receive an IAG share for every BA share they own, and stockholders in Iberia 1.0205 shares for each share in the Spanish airline; thus, BA shareholders will take 55% of IAG.

"The merged company will provide customers with a larger combined network," commented BA chief executive Willie Walsh. "It will also have greater potential for further growth by optimising the dual hubs of London and Madrid and providing continued investment in new products and services."

Meanwhile, Iberia chief executive Antonio Vázquez remarked: "This is an important step in creating one of the world's leading global airlines that will be better equipped to compete with other major airlines and participate in future industry consolidation."

Independent aviation specialist James Halstead said he believed the merger was necessary for BA to remain competitive amongst other European air carriers. "BA's unique position at Heathrow could help it survive for a short while, but in the long run it needs more than just Heathrow. The main point of the Iberia deal is to be able to cut costs and put the combined company in the position that Air France-KLM and Lufthansa are already in," he said, quoted by The Independent.
