Talk:New al-Qaeda video shows Osama bin Laden meeting with 9/11 hijackers

Title should be changed to "alleged 9/11 hijackers" or "men accused of hijacking" -- at least one of these men has been found alive, so even calling him an alleged hijacker seems a bit ridiculous.
 * according to the BBC and Reuters source, there's no meeting between Bin LAden and the hijackers, there's a video of the hijackers speaking "suicide" messages. Doldrums 03:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * ABC says otherwise, but qualifies it with "which the tape said were Sept. 11 hijackers", something that we've not done. also, has the FBI accused Atef and wassisname of being hijackers? or being planners? Doldrums 03:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Is this video available for download somewhere? I know CNN and others have a few clips, but I'd be interested in seeing the entire thing or atleast as much as was broadcast by Al Jazeera.

Remember to read the article after writing it
After reading the article twice, I didn't know if the video was of recent events or if it was a newly publicised old video. It sounds like the latter, but I'm still not completely clear. Since the rest of the article is unclear, it's risky for me to trust the clarity of the one sentence that makes a definite statement, but I have done so. Please fix it if my fix was wrong. Thanks. Bill3 14:13, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I read it and alleged is not the case...where are the sources saying the "alleged" terrorists? The BBC says it BUT they do not say what officials confirm this. Did the US confirm BBC's findings? To me this article now looks messed up and nothing but speculation. The highjackers are dead. Planes burned them. Jason Safoutin 21:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Some of your countrymen argue that there were no hijackers in the first place. However I agree with you that the mujahideen were matyred on that day. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 08:12, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Motor sport legend Peter Brock dies in rally

September 8, 2006

Organisers of the Targa West Tarmac Rally have confirmed the death of Australian motor sport legend Peter Brock, 61, as reported on Australian Media.

Brock died after his Daytona Coupe left the road and stuck a tree, shortly after 11:50AM today near the small town of Gidgengannup in Western Australia. His co-driver, Mick Hone was injured and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Brock had admitted earlier in the day that he was "still coming to grips with the car" on radio. Spectators report seeing the rear of Brock's car sliding out as he negotiated a corner. They say he was going no faster than anyone else.

Race organisers and the Confederation of Australian Motorsport will conduct an investigation into the accident once the civil authorities have completed their investigation.

Brock was one of Australian motorsport's most significant figures, having won the Bathurst 1000 nine times. His death comes only days after the death of fellow Australian celebrity Steve Irwin.

Inauguration of the 71st Thessaloniki International Fair in Greece

September 8, 2006 Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and the whole of Cabinet is already in Greece's second-largest city Thessaloniki, in order to take part to the inauguration of the, organized by Helexpo, 71st International Fair, which will take place later today. The Greek Premier will address a speech - as it traditionally happens every year - at the Vellidion Conference Centre where he is going to speak about the upcoming governmental policies in Economy. Earlier today, Karamanlis visited the sites of two upcoming public works in the city; the Thessaloniki Metro construction site and the expansion of Makedonia International Airport. At 1pm(GTM +2), the Greek Premier will inaugurate the renovated Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki.

According to government officials, Karamanlis is expected to emphasize New Democracy's achievements in two-and-a-half years in government while avoiding promises of handouts, although he is due to announce some changes regarding economical issues, like the tax system.

Prime Minister Karamanlis will address his official speech at 8pm in Vellidion Centre while several demonstrations have been scheduled in the centre of Thessaloniki and around the area of the International Fair. Among those demonstrations, condemning the governmental policies, are the supporters of PAOK FC who demand solution to the their team's administration as well as Greece's largest labour unions, GSEE and ADEDY, which have also organized a protest in the city center at 6pm and demonstrators are due to march to the exhibition center where the Thessaloniki International Fair is being held.

38 dead, over 180 injured as blasts rock Maharashtra town

September 8, 2006

At least 30 people have died and 112 people have been injured, many critically in three explosions in a crowded market in the town of Malegaon, in the state of Maharashtra in India. The explosions appeared to have been caused by crude bombs and occurred between 1:45 PM and 1:49 PM (IST) on Friday afternoon. The blasts took place near the Noorani Mosque, when a Shab-e-Barat procession was passing through the market. Curfew has been imposed in the town, which itself has been cordoned off, to prevent communal tensions from escalating. Mobile networks in the city have been jammed.

Maharashtra DCP P. S Pasricha, however, claimed that only one blast had occurred resulting in 5 fatalities. An MLA from the area later confirmed the occurrence of three explosions. Special Inspector-General of Nashik, P. K Jain, said that two state police companies and ten Rapid Action Force had been sent to Malegaon to control the situation. He also added that prior intelligence had been received about the possibility of such an attack.

An angry mob attacked the Superintendent of Police when his team tried to reach the blast site. Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, R R Patil is headed to the town to assess the situation. The Union Home Secretary has asked the state authorities to speak to local leaders in Malegaon and ask them to help maintain the peace there. A high alert has been declared throughout the state and paramilitary forces are en route to control the situation in communally volatile areas.

Malegaon, in the Nasik district of Maharashtra, is famous for its powerlooms, and one of the biggest cities in Northwest Maharashtra. It has a history of communal tensions between its majority Muslim population and their Hindu neighbours. The town witnessed riots in 1984 and then again in 1992 (in the aftermath of the Babri Masjid demolition) and, most recently, in 2001.

The blasts happened a day after a controversy over India's national song, the Vande Mataram heightened communal tensions.

Suspects
The police are investigating the incident and the Times of India newspaper suggests that either the Hindu Sangh Parivar organisation Bajrang Dal or the Kashmiri separatist group Lashkar eToiba may be responsible. The Bajrang Dal attacked the Mohammadi Masjid in Parbhani and mosques at Pona and Jalna earlier this year following a similar pattern. Lashkar-e-Toiba might want to create a communal divide between Hindus and Muslims.

ABC comes under fire for alleged partisan slant in 9/11 miniseries

September 8, 2006

For ABC, the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks will be marked with a new kind of controversy over alleged political motives in a new miniseries, slated to be aired on prime-time slots this coming Monday and Tuesday.

Titled The Path to 9/11, the 5-hour film is slated to be aired over the course of 2 nights, culminating on Monday with dramatizations of the October 2000 attacks on the US Navy ship, USS Cole, as well as fictionalized portrayals of the attacks on the World Trade Center towers, which killed 2,973. Many officials and watchdogs, however, have criticized the film for allegedly stretching and fabricating the truth. Samuel R. Berger, a national security adviser made a statement denouncing the film claiming the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright called one scene involving her "false and defamatory," and former White House aide Bruce R. Lindsey said "it is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."

A flurry of on-line email campaigns, protesting the film and demanding it be corrected or not aired, has erupted. According to the liberal group Truemajority, "It's not just that ABC's movie is slanted. Big parts of it are simply untrue. The producer himself even admitted to simply improvising a key scene which depicts the Clinton administration letting bin Laden go when they had him in their sights -- a complete fabrication. Last night, the movie's star, Harvey Keitel, said 'It turned out not all the facts were correct.'"

According to ABC's entertainment division, the film is a "dramatization... not a documentary." However, several key scenes, which critics allege distort the September 11 commission's report on which the film is based, are being reworked, reshot, or pulled altogether, and ABC is reportedly "mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether."

For ABC, credibility, along with what is reported to be millions of dollars spent in advertising, is on the line. The film includes many noted actors, including Donnie Wahlberg, Patricia Heaton, and Harvey Keitel, who plays counterterrorism official John O'Neil. However, criticism has come from within as well. Many who worked on the film have spoken out, claiming the film's accuracy and objectivity is questionable. One writer, Cyrus Nowrasteh, in an interview with Los Angeles radio station KRLA-AM, claimed that moments had been improvised, and writer James Bamford claimed on MSNBC that an FBI agent working as a consultant on the film quit due to allegations of fabrication.

Action committees from all across the political spectrum have made statements on the film, including liberal watchdog MoveOn.org, which, in a recent statement to its members, stated that "ABC shouldn't have any role in the political exploitation of 9/11."

"This docudrama is designed to do just that," the statement continued. "It's spreading a false message to millions of viewers across the country."

"No one has seen the final version of the film, because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible," said Disney, the company that owns ABC.

Disneyland pranked overnight by graffiti artist Banksy; ride shut down

September 12, 2006

Internationally acclaimed graffiti kingpin and art-saboteur, Banksy, successfully infiltrated the Disneyland themepark in Anaheim, California.

It is alleged that the graffiti bandit extraordinaire clandestinely entered the park over-night, then proceeded to install a piece depicting a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay at the themepark. Banksy installed a sculpture, a life-size doll dressed in an prison inmate's orange jumpsuit and bound and shackled, behind the bars of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride.

Disneyland closed down the ride and removed the sculpture amid fears over public safety.

Colombian army officials accused of allegedly faking terrorist attacks

September 8, 2006

Based on an ongoing investigation by Colombian prosecutors, Colombian's leading newspaper El Tiempo published a report claiming that some Colombian officers from the Army's 13th Brigade would have fabricated a number of terrorist attacks in the weeks prior to the inauguration of president Alvaro Uribe's second term in office, and that they would have paid for the cooperation of demobilized members of the leftist guerrilla group FARC, in particular that of a woman known as "Jessica".

The allegedly fake attacks, most of which were presented as foiled by the actions of Army, would have had the purpose of allowing the officers involved to show "positive" results in the fight against terrorism before the public and the government. Security measures had been tightened during the days prior to August the 7th, when Uribe initiated his second term in office. Four years before, during the inauguration ceremony of Uribe's first term in office, a number of handmade rockets were launched by FARC from houses in the city's center, causing minor material damage to the presidential palace and killing several people from a nearby neighborhood.

One of the incidents that have come under questioning happened on July 31, 2006 in the north of Bogotá, during which a truck-bomb killed a garbage collector and wounded ten soldiers who were driving past in a military truck. The Army's commander acknowledged on September 7 that two military officers are under investigation: "The recent attack with a car bomb, in which ten soldiers were wounded and a citizen died, and which had been attributed to outlawed groups, as well as the alleged confiscation of several explosives during the last two months, apparently do not to correspond to reality. These deceptions may have been carried out by unscrupulous people, including two army officials".

In addition to the case of the truck-bomb, doubts now surround a number of other related incidents, including the confiscation of several kilos of explosives, the discovery of a house-bomb and of three other car bombs in the latest weeks. In one of these cases, according to El Tiempo, witnesses said that the same man that abandoned a taxi bomb in the south of the capital was the same man who claimed the cash rewards for the tip-off.

Only two military officers are currently under investigation. The Caracol Radio station reported that, according to other military sources, there could be as many as seven members of the institution involved in the events.

Talk:17 terrorism suspects arrested in Belgium

What a coincidence that this 'event' takes place right before the elections. And it's even more astonishing that it took place less than a week after a certain person made a statement that he wanted to ban right parties.

And again, what a coincidence that the news expressivly states that it is a rightist movement.

Yet another cheap stab at VB.

State Police: New York fugitive Ralph 'Bucky' Phillips cornered

September 8, 2006 New York State Police are reporting that fugitive, Ralph 'Bucky' Phillips, 44 may be cornered in a wooded area near the Pennsylvania border with New York and that he attempted to point a gun at an officer resulting in shots fired by the officer and Phillips. It is unknown if Phillips was hit, but the trooper was not injured.

"We believe we have him contained. I won't say that I'm completely convinced that this is going to come to the conclusion we want," said Wayne Bennett, the New York State Police  Superintendent.

Bennett also said that Phillips may be cornered in between Carroll, New York, and Russell, Pennsylvania and that Phillips "made a mistake" in threatening to fire upon an officer. Officers began the search for the fugitive around 2:00 a.m. after a man failed to stop for an officer performing a traffic stop. The man fled into the woods and officers responded with a massive search. Officers then used dogs to track the man down and at 9:00 a.m. was seen by at least two N.Y. troopers.

"I think he's made a mistake. I hope it's a big enough one and we can capitalize on it," added Bennett.

Phillips became one of the FBI's top ten most wanted men yesterday and the reward for his arrest or a tip leading to it jumped from $225,000 to $420,000.

Phillips broke out of an Erie County prison in Alden, New york with a can opener on April 2 and shot a N.Y. state trooper in June. He is also believed to have shot two more troopers on August 31 which resulted in the death of one trooper.

WSEE is reporting that the U.S. military is assisting in the search for Phillips.

Experts: obesity is a bigger threat than AIDS or bird flu

September 8, 2006

From September 3 to 8, experts gathered at the 10th International Congress on Obesity in Sydney, Australia, to discuss what they call the worldwide "obesity epidemic". According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 billion people in the world today are overweight, and 300 million of those are obese. "Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for serious diet-related chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer", a WHO fact sheet states. According to AP, experts at the conference "have warned that obesity is a bigger threat than AIDS or bird flu, and will easily overwhelm the world's health care systems if urgent action is not taken".

Of particular concern is the large number of overweight children. Dr. Stephan Rossner from Sweden's Karolinska University Hospital, a leading obesity expert who was present at the conference, has warned that as a result of the increasing number of overweight children, "we will have, within a decade or two, a number of young people who are on kidney dialysis. There will not be organs for everybody". UK-based International Obesity Task Force has said that junk food manufacturers target children, for example, through Internet advertising, chat rooms, text messages, and "advergames" on websites. Politicians are not doing enough to address the problem of obesity, including childhood obesity, the experts said.

According to Wikipedia, examples of junk food include, but are not limited to: hamburgers, pizza, candy, soda, and salty foods like potato chips and french fries. A well-known piece of junk food is the Big Mac. The US version of just one Big Mac burger contains 48% of calories from fat, 47% US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of fat, 52% RDA of saturated fat, 26% RDA of cholesterol, 42% RDA of sodium, and little nutritional value. It also has 18% of calories from protein. According to WHO, most people need only about 5% calories from protein. Staples such as rice, corn, baked potatoes, pinto beans, as well as fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, oranges, and strawberries, provide more than this required amount of protein without the unhealthy amounts of fats or sodium, without cholesterol, and with plenty of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Both WHO and the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define overweight in adults as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or above, and obese as a BMI of 30 or above. To combat overweight and obesity, WHO recommends that, among other things, people should be taking the following steps

Canadian PM to make televised address for 5th anniversary of Sept 11. attacks

September 8, 2006

Stephen Harper will have a televised address for the 5th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. It will be held in the Hall of Honour in the Parliament Buildings. It will also be in both official languages (English and French). Harper will make the statement of five to eight minutes on national Canadian television.

The PM is expected to address concerns over Canada's role in Afghanistan, where 2,200 Canadian troops are in the midst of battling insurgents.

Carolyn Stewart-Olsen said that Harper wanted to recognize the 24 Canadians who perished in the attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York. Olsen says Harper wants to speak to the "families and victims, and to people who fight terrorism on a daily basis."

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she will travel to Halifax on Monday to mark the anniversary.

The PM will deliver his statement at 6:00 p.m on Monday. There will be no audience for the address in the foyer except journalists. The statement will be available for television and radio broadcast.

Talk:Experts: obesity is a bigger threat than AIDS or bird flu

Numbers correct?
"1 billion people in the world today are overweight, and 300 of those are obese." The articles I've seen turned up: "More than 1.5 billion adults worldwide and 10 per cent of children are now overweight or obese." Eaglevision 22:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * nevermind, simple typeo from ap report, got it. Eaglevision 22:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

How can obesity be a bigger threat then AIDS and Bird Flu when there is a cure for obesity, but no cure for AIDS and Bird Flu.

Massive suicide car bomb in Kabul kills 18, including two U.S. soldiers

September 8, 2006

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the massive suicide bomb which killed 16 citizens, and two US soldiers near the Kabulian US Embassy. Master Sergeant Chris Miller commented, "A coalition convoy was the target of a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device this morning near the U.S. Embassy here."

The convoy was comprised of three armored Humvees. Sixteen Afghans were wounded in the attack, and several were killed.

Gen. James Jones, NATO's supreme allied commander, said on Thursday that the troops have encountered "more resistance than we originally thought."

The fighting is extraordinarily intense. The intensity and ferocity of the fighting is far greater than in Iraq on a daily basis," Brig. Ed Butler, the commander of British Forces in Afghanistan, told ITV news on Friday. He echoed Jones' call for more troops.

In western Afghanistan, four Italian soldiers were wounded Friday in a roadside bomb blast while on patrol, the Italian Defense Ministry said.

The ministry said an improvised explosive device detonated around 9 a.m. near Farah while an Italian military vehicle was on patrol.

Bathurst to host Brock tribute

September 9, 2006 The city of Bathurst, home of the Mount Panorama race circuit in Central Western New South Wales will host a "fitting tribute" to motor sport legend Peter Brock, according to Bathurst Mayor Norm Mann.

Brock, aged 61, died when he crashed his car during the Targa West rally in Western Australia.

Long regarded as "king of the mountain" in recognition of winning a record nine events such as the Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama, Brock was regarded as an icon amongst the Bathurst community.

Bathurst mayor, Norm Mann said despite Brock having never lived in Bathurst, he was an honorary citizen. "Although he is not a local resident and has never lived here, Peter Brock was very much an honorary citizen of Bathurst and has over his career had a significant impact on the lives of many people in this community – our local radio station B-Rock FM is even named after him," said the mayor.

Mr Mann also said that preparations were being carried out at the National Motor Racing Museum at the foot of Mount Panorama for a display honouring the racing legend's life. The museum will also accept tributes to be passed onto the Brock family according to the Mayor.

The mayor promised that his council would host a fitting tribute to Mr Brock. "Council will make plans for a fitting tribute in honour of Peter's life and career in coming days."

Mr Mann's sentiment has been echoed by chairman of V8 Supercars Australia Tony Cochrane. Mr Cochrane said Bathurst would be the most appropriate place for a tribute to the motor racing icon. In a statement, Mr Cochrane said "The most befitting place for a tribute is Bathurst. He forged his name in motor sport on that mountain, I think the fans will come to expect something special and we will provide that. We will obviously give special thought to how we are going to do that and we will take into account the families' wishes."

There is something odd about this story -- no one is picking it up. Except for the posted links, I can't find any mention anywhere.

That is wierd that this isn't a bigger story. Maybe because this happens in other countries and no one wants to believe it? Not saying this happens but imagine if Americans found out this same thing about their military. It would be a huge story.

Talk:ABC comes under fire for alleged partisan slant in 9/11 miniseries

Highly biased - Moveon.org is not notable in its own sense, and where is the reporting on the other side, criticising ABC for folding under pressure? This article violates WMF's NPOV policy. (preceding unsigned comment by 75.21.168.243 03:59, 9 September 2006)

Furthermore, all complaints seem to be coming from people with a vested interest in maintaining their personal reputation. Is there some way we can note this without violating NPOV in the other direction? (preceding unsigned comment by 71.136.90.200 16:32, 9 September 2006)

I totally agree with this. This article is very biased, ABC is only being pressured by the liberal internet blogs and small PSAs put out by Clinton and staff. Bias is everywhere in the media, only when it is against the left does someone say something. I am trying to be neutral here but this is just ridiculous that a miniseries like this gets ridiculed but some reports by say ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN don't? Sorry for my rant, I don't want an article praising or ridiculing the miniseries, I just want some neutrality here. It is a news source after all. (preceding unsigned comment by 68.197.24.221 03:52, 11 September 2006)
 * The article seems to be reporting on the fact that ABC is being criticised by these groups and individuals, not on the content of the miniseries itself, so I think neutrality is being maintained as long as the article keeps from portraying one viewpoint or another as "right." I couldn't find sources reporting on the series with an opposite view so far, apart from the ABC/Disney spokesman already cited, but if any other Wikinewsies find some I'd like to see them added to this article.
 * As for the other reports you mention, they are unrelated to this article, but you or anyone else is more than free to start work on a new article about them.
 * Of course, any reporting on the series itself will have to wait until the thing has aired. Rob T Firefly 14:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

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

Muslims in Gujarat hold anti-Pakistan rally

September 9, 2006

Muslim community members in Ahmedabad, India demonstrated against the alleged involvement of Pakistan in Friday's blasts in Malegaon that killed 38 people and injured hundreds, most of them Muslims. The protestors came out onto the streets, shouting anti-Pakistan slogans and condemning the blasts, which, they say, were orchestrated by the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence to create a rift between Hindus and the minority community. Rauf Bengali, one of the protestors, also pointed out the fact that Hindu temples (most recently the one in Varanasi) were also targeted to cause a communal divide in Indian society. "We urge the Hindus and Muslims to stand united against such terrorist activities, directed to create communal tensions between the two communities," he added.

Indian security agencies have, in the past, found evidence that suggests the involvement of the ISI in anti-India activities such as providing shelter to militants and backing strikes in Indian cities. The situation was tense in Malegaon yesterday, but has since calmed down with no incidents of Hindu-Muslim violence being reported.

Child killer Huntley releases confession tape

September 9, 2006

Sources have claimed that Ian Huntley, currently serving a minimum sentence of 40 years for the murders of two schoolgirls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, has made a videotape confessing his crimes. It is believed that the video was made before a failed suicide attempt in his cell at Wakefield high security prison in West Yorkshire.

Huntley was found unconscious in his cell on Tuesday following a suspected overdose of anti-depressant drugs. It is believed he obtained the drugs from a fellow prisoner in exchange for the videotape. The actions of an alert guard at the prison saved Mr Huntley's life -- he could have been dead before the existence of the tape came to light.

It is understood that managers at the Wakefield prison are transcribing the tape before sending transcripts to Cambridgeshire Police, who led the original investigation into the Soham murders.

hi
nice to have more newsies around. appreciate ur contributions to wikinews. u might find looking thro' Writing an article helpful. also, it would be niec if wikinews articles are based on more than one source. that way, we get some independent confirmation of events, representation from diverse views as well as fewer copyright infringement issues. hoep u enjoy contributing to wikinews. i look forward to more from u. reg, Doldrums 05:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

sure!
Browse/Topic has a list of comonly used categories. A more detailed list and a (difficult to use) full list of categories is also available. A category, say Category India is added to the article by placing in the article, convention is place all the categories together at the bottom of the article.

as for the dateline, if u've created a new article, u can add a date by ... simply doing nothing - leave the line

alone, don't change anything in it. and it'll automatically add the correct date. if something went wrong, or if u want to change the date, then adding September 10, 2006 will add that date to the article. note that an article should have only one line.

hope this helps. Doldrums 05:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

links
there isn't a cut-and-dry rule. normally, people and organisations which have wikipedia articles get links (u'll need to check if the WP articles exist, as interwiki links don't automatically turn red for non-existent articles). also, entities which are either the focus of the article or whose WP article offers relevent background are linked. finally, terms whose meaning is not widely understood (technical/legal terms) can also be linked. excessive wikilinking is not a very terrible thing (They can always be removed, if found excessive). the idea is that the wikilinks should offer a way to get relevant information, but not distract attention too much from the article itself. (incidentally, this is my interpretation of how we do things, Style guide offers some guidelines). Doldrums 06:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

local only stories
actually, the reason i hadn't replied yet was i don't know for sure. adding is meant to do the job, but doesn't, as of now. it doesn't because wikinews currently doesn't run so many stories a day that it should exclude any from the main page. so the category has been been created and kept ready but not actually used.

my suggestion is to spend a little more time on the article to get it ready to be published on the main page itself (it's not all that hard, is it?). u can also ask for assistance at Water cooler/assistance from people who know better than i. hope this helps, Doldrums 05:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:How to breaking news.
After writing an article, to list it as breaking add {{breaking} to it, but make sure you remove the "Breaking" template later. To add "breaking" to the lead article, you will need to edit Template:Lead article and add. We don't generally use Wikipedia as a source though, maybe you can try [www.cnn.com CNN] or some other news-website. Cheers! PVJ(Talk) 09:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

How to insert picture
Hi,

1) You'll need to upload the picture, preferably to http://commons.wikimedia.org, or to wikinews (by clicking Upload fair use media). Images from other non-free news sources can't be used. You can also browse Commons to look for an appropriate image, e.g. a map of the area. See also: Image use policy.

2) You can read Introduction for tips on how to use images: also check some existing articles (by clicking "edit this page") to see how they use images.

3) I don't understand entirely, but if you are referring to edit summaries; you can type a little explanation of how you changed a page in the white space under the edit box. In fact, it's very important to use that as much as possible. See also the Introduction.

If you have more questions, ask at the watercooler or on my talk page. Also, good work! Happy editing,

--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

hungary riots
some of the language in the article needed improving for grammar and usage. the article also needed to be "expanded", with enough information added to ensure that people who read the article without much previous knowledge of Hungary's politics should still be able to make sense of it, and have a reasonably complete picture of the events there. i've tried to fix the problems i saw, and have now removed the cleanup tag. could u take a look at it, and if it looks ok, publish it again. thanks.

Kimi Räikkönen on the pole of 2006 Italian Grand Prix

September 9, 2006

Kimi Räikkönen won the qualification on the FIA Formula-1 Italian Grand Prix on the Autodromo Nazionale Monza racing track. Michael Schumacher, who will declare his future in Formula-1 on Sunday after the race, came second. BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld placed third, one of his best results so far.

Felipe Massa, the second Ferrari driver and the previous Grand Prix winner, was fourth. Fernando Alonso, first Renault pilot, placed fifth, while his teammate Giancarlo Fisicella was tenth. However, due to a penalty incurred by Alonso for blocking Felipe Massa during qualifying, he had his 3 fastest times deleted and will start tenth bumping teammate Fisichella up to ninth

A very good qualification for both Honda drivers. Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello finished 6th and 9th, but due to Alonso's penalty they will start 5th and 8th respectivley

Räikkönen's teammate, McLaren Mercedes driver Pedro de la Rosa will start 8th after Poland Robert Kubica, but due to Alonso's penalty Kubica will start 6th and De la Rosa will start 7th

Successful launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis

September 9, 2006

Space Shuttle Atlantis successfully launched this morning after 4 years of inactivity. Liftoff, from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center occurred at 15:14:55 GMT, with the spacecraft reaching orbit about 8 1/2 minutes later. Television coverage included a live camera on the external fuel tank that remained on after separation.

Early indications suggest that there was no serious damage caused by foam debris, which was responsible for the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia in February 2003.

The mission marks the resumption of the International Space Station assembly program, which began in 1998, but was halted after the Columbia disaster. The Shuttle, which is crewed by six astronauts, will install a truss section and solar panels at the space station.

Pope tells Canada to end gay marriage

September 9, 2006

Pope Benedict XVI told Canada to end gay marriage and instructed Roman Catholic politicians not to vote for gay marriage, urging them not to sacrifice their personal beliefs for the sake of opinion polls and social trends. Benedict met with Ontario bishops at the Vatican in Rome.

"In the name of tolerance, your country has had to endure the folly of the redefinition of spouse," the Pope told the bishops. "In the name of freedom of choice, it is confronted with the daily destruction of unborn children." "When the Creator's divine plan is ignored, the truth of human nature is lost."

Neil McCarthy, director of public relations for the Archdiocese of Toronto, said yesterday that Benedict XVI's latest foray into the gay marriage debate came directly in response to issues the visiting Ontario bishops would have raised.

He said Catholic bishops from Quebec and the Atlantic provinces also made a visit to the Vatican this year, asking a response from the Pope on other matters of concern in Canada, such as unemployment and declining church attendance among young people.

Pope John Paul II, before his death last year, denounced Canada for its drive to legalize same-sex marriage.

Parliament passed legislation in June 2005 that made Canada the fourth country in the world to allow gay marriage.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he will revisit the issue and that members of Parliament will be asked this fall whether they wish to reopen the debate.

Truck crashes through downtown Toronto sink hole

September 9, 2006

A garbage truck in downtown Toronto crashed in a sink hole next to a construction site. The truck sank beneath a roadway Friday morning after the pavement gave way into a large sink hole.

The driver is safe, suffering only from a sudden fright. The truck went down so quickly that the driver was forced to jump out about seven feet as the rear end of his vehicle crashed through at an angle.

"He was very frightened, he was distressed, definitely," said a police officer at the scene shortly after the accident. "He said it sank quite rapidly in the beginning and it is actually continuing to sink."

Engineers had to wait more than 12-hours to give approval to tow the truck out. "From what we can tell there isn't a water main at this location," city engineer Maurizio Barbon said.

Engineers described a hole similar in size to a small backyard swimming pool.

It will take a few more days to find out what caused the sink hole.

New York fugitive Ralph Bucky Phillips caught

September 9, 2006 Ralph Bucky Phillips, a long-time New York fugitive, has been caught. He was arrested on Friday in Warren County, Pennsylvania at about 8:15 pm ET. He was unarmed and unhurt when he surrendered. The police had cornered him in a field just over the Pennsylvania border. The police had moved closer to Phillips. Just before nightfall, 25 SWAT officers and 12 dogs swept through a field where he was suspected to be hiding. He gave up at around 8:00 pm local time. Phillips surrendered, with his hands up in the air.

"A few of my guys had spotted him in an open field, the helicopter zeroed in on him," said Lenny DePaul, commanding officer of the US Marshals Service fugitive task force. "Very good news," he said.

Friday's search started just before 2:00 am.

Phillips looked dirty and exhausted in a photo of him in the back of the police car. He spoke with one-word answers, answering "yes" when asked if he was Ralph Phillips, and also if he had received a copy of the federal complaint charging him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Phillips was taken to a jail in Buffalo. He will appear in court today, facing a charge of attempted murder in connection with the shooting of a state trooper on June 10.

Eight Californians seriously ill after eating live shellfish

September 9, 2006

Eight Californians contracted a rare lung infection after eating live sawagani crabs at several southern California restaurants.

The freshwater crabs, also known as river or regal crabs, were purchased in several restaurants, including Riptide Rockin' Sushi & Teppan Grill in Mission Viejo and Chomp Rockin' Sushi & Teppan Grill in Fullerton. The crabs were infected with a parasite called paragonimus, a flatworm similar to lung fluke.

The parasite travels to the lungs six to ten weeks after ingestion. Symptoms include coughing, diarrhea, breathing problems, chest pain, abdominal pain, fever, and hives. The worm can spread to other organs, including the brain.

According to Wikipedia, about 5,000 Americans die of foodborne illness every year.

Sharapova takes U.S. tennis title

September 10, 2006 19-year old Maria Sharapova won her first US Open title, defeating Belgium's Justine Henin-Hardenne 6-4, 6-4 in the Saturday final. The match lasted over 90-minuites, in which Sharapova used her powerful serve, and forehand to command the entire match.

The day before the final, Sharapova defeated world number one Amelie Mauresmo in the semi-final match. Justine Henin-Hardenne defeated the Serb Jelena Jankovik 4-6, 6-4, 4-0.

Before the final Henin-Hardenne had an impressive 4-1 record against Sharapova, with 4 straight wins.

After her win, Sharapova said that she was excited to be in "...her favorite city in the world." She also commented that "This is an amazing honor."

She continued by crediting tennis great Billie Jean King for "just being an amazing woman."

Henin-Hardenne also reached all four Grand Slam finals in 2006, yet only took the French Open title home.

South Africa defeat Australia in final match of the 2006 Tri Nations rugby series

September 9, 2006

In the final game of the 2006 Tri Nations Series rugby union tournament, South Africa defeated Australia 24 points to 16 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. Despite winning their last two games, South Africa finished third on the table, Australia second, and the All Blacks as winners.

The loss for Australia in Johannesburg extends their poor record in South Africa - their last win there was in 2000, and their last win at Ellis Park was over 40 years ago. Fourie du Preez and Breyton Paulse both scored tries for South Africa with Andre Pretorius kicking one conversion, three penalties goals and one drop goal. Stephen Larkham scored Australia's only try and Stirling Mortlock kicking the one conversion and three penalty goals. International rugby continues throughout the rest of the year, with a number of teams involved in 2007 Rugby World Cup qualifying, and November Tests matches in the northern hemisphere.

Michael Schumacher wins Italian Grand Prix, announces plans to retire

September 10, 2006 Michael Schumacher won the FIA Formula One Italian Grand Prix on the Autodromo Nazionale Monza racing track. The "Red Baron" passed the checkered flag and won the race, the 90th win in his long career. Kimi Räikkönen, the McLaren Mercedes driver started from pole, but was unable to keep up with Schumacher after the first pit-stop and finished second.

As expected, Ferrari's winner spoke of his future in Formula One after the race. He announced that he will retire from Formula One as the man who wins the most than the other drivers - a true champion of this sport. He will surely struggle the last three races and it will be much easier because of a good standings in drivers' and constructors' championship.

His closest competitor Fernando Alonso, the first Renault pilot, held an unbelievable race, but was out due to the engine failure 9 laps to go. He was heading for the third place. This closed his gap from Schumacher to the minimum of 2 points and allowed Ferrari to take the lead from Renault. Second Renault driver Giancarlo Fisichella finished fourth.

A fantastic race for the first Poland Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber driver won his first podium. In the final protocol he placed himself third though started seventh. He replaced on the podium his co-driver Nick Heidfeld who started third, but finished eighth due to the penalty for speeding on the pit-lane and a failed start.

Felipe Massa, who will replace Schumacher in Ferrari next year, had an extra pit-stop due to a tire problem thus allowed Kubica to end the race alone.

Honda drivers managed two good results - Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello finished 5th and 6th, accordingly..

quote needs fixing
this quote needs some language fixing. is there a source for this? "He announced that he will retire from Formula One as the man who wins the most then the other drivers - a true champion of this sport." Doldrums 16:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Jack Layton reaffirmed as Canadian New Democratic leader with 92% support

September 10, 2006

Jack Layton's leadership of the New Democratic Party of Canada has been reaffirmed, this morning, at the party's federal convention in Quebec City where 92% of delegates voted against having a new leadership convention. The vote was the first formal say by party members on Layton's stewardship of the NDP since his election as party leader at the 2003 NDP leadership convention.

Layton, 56, has led the NDP through two federal elections and to its highest level of support since the 1980s. With 29 of 308 seats in the Canadian House of Commons, however, the party is still not a contender for government though it was able to hold the effective balance of power from 2004 to 2006 when the Liberal Party ruled with a minority government.

The resounding endorsement of Layton's leadership will help boost the leader's reputation after it was bruised at the opening of the convention with the news that Carl Hetu, who had been the Quebec co-chair of Layton's 2003 leadership campaign and star candidate Paul Summerville had bolted the party. Hetu criticised Layton for not doing enough to build the party in Quebec while Summerville, a former banker who had been the NDP's economic spokesperson in the last election, denounced the party as being hostile to the idea of a market economy and joined the Liberals.

Earlier in the convention, an estimated 90% of delegates voted for a resolution supporting Layton's call for Canada to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
