Nepal names 6 year old girl a 'living goddess'

October 1, 2008

Nepal's government has named Shreeya Bajracharya, a six year old, as the country's new Kumari or "living goddess", as part of a century old tradition.

In the past, Kumaris have been appointed by the country's monarchy, which was abolished earlier this year and replaced with the recently elected Maoists. "Just because we are now a republic and no longer have a king or royal priest, does not mean we should end our traditions," said Keshab Bahadur Shrestha, one of the officials who selected Shreeya.

The new Maoist government was heavily criticized and protested last week after attempting to cut funds to the "Royal Kumari" festival. Up until last month's court decision ruled it a violation of human rights, the Kumaris were isolated in palaces and kept away from the public.

The girls are revered as reincarnations of the Hindu goddess Taleju and are both tourist and religious attractions until they have their first menstruation, when they are no longer considered goddesses. They are chosen through 32 strict tests of physical attributes, requiring traits like "cow's eyelashes".

Shreeya, a farmer's daughter, said she wants to be a nurse someday. Admirers have praised her for being "pretty and smart".

Her predecessor resigned due to controversy over her break from tradition, when she traveled to the US to promote a film about herself and Kumaris.

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 Usa01gt. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Usa01gt~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 23:23, 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) 06:40, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Nebraska teacher sentenced to 6 years for sex with student

October 4, 2008

Kelsey Peterson, a former Nebraskan teacher has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for transporting a minor across state lines to have sex. She traveled to Mexico with a 13-year-old boy with whom she previously had an affair. Peterson took the boy to Mexico in October 2006 after accusations that she was having an affair with the boy surfaced. She was arrested in Mexico when the boy called his family in the United States.

She was charged with kidnapping and first degree sexual assault. Peterson's attorney claimed that the boy's birth certificate was possibly forged or doctored and that the boy was in fact at least 16. Given time already served and the possibility time-off for of good behavior, Peterson could be released in four years. However, her conviction was on federal charges and she may still be prosecuted on state charges which could lead to additional time in jail.

The child was an illegal immigrant at the time of the affair and kidnapping. The child has been since been put on humanitarian parole which means that he will not be deported for the foreseeable future. The child's attorney wants the boy and his family to obtain visas, and eventually to become United States citizens.

Woman slashed to death, man steals $6 for beer

September 30, 2008 A teenager slashed a woman to death as he attempted to steal $6 off her—to buy beer. The 16-year-old boy, Alan Tanguay, now faces a first degree murder charge over the death of 58-year-old Patricia Kaliszeski from Palm Bay, Florida.

Tanguay told investigators he was approached by Kaliszeski with a knife as he was burgling the house. He took it from her and used it to attack her, before hitting her over the head with a lamp.

Tanguay is currently being held in a juvenile holding area but he could face an adult charge over the incident.

When police accessed his account on a social networking web site, they found statements describing how he enjoys gory violence, "like people getting their neck slit and tounge [sic] pulled out".

One witness told police that the teenager claimed to have killed before and also that "he has a rule—if he finds someone in the house during a burglary, he has to kill them".

It is not known whether Tanguay has already appeared in court or when he is scheduled to appear, according to police.

Hundreds of victims still unidentified three months after Typhoon Frank

September 30, 2008

stormed across the Philippine Sea June 21, 2008 capsizing numerous boats, killing hundreds and leaving an estimated 1,330 missing in total including 820 passengers and crew from the ferry.

Since then Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) teams in, Philippines made up of experts from the (NBI), the  (ICMP). and INTERPOL have painstakingly matched from recovered bodies to that of blood samples donated by relatives of those still missing.

"The 23,000-ton vessel was also carrying tens of thousands of pounds of commercial insecticide and many bodies still remain trapped inside the wreckage" according to a recent press release from the ICMP.

"With fingerprint identification out of the question for most of the victims, and dental records not available, this leaves only DNA as a means of identification, with samples from recovered victims matched to those provided by the missing passengers’ relatives."

An NBI-DVI report explains "DNA matches are made by comparing profiles from victims to a database of profiles from their relatives. A minimum of two close relatives [are] sought for each individual."

NBI-DVI has so far collected 1,916 blood samples from relatives of missing victims representing 809 missing persons. These samples are then matched against the 318 DNA samples from recovered bodies received by the ICMP.

“Almost three months have passed since our country was struck by one of the worst typhoons in memory, with ‘Frank’ causing the sinking of the Princess of the Stars with hundreds of passengers and crew on board," said NBI Director Nestor M. Mantaring in the press release.

"The NBI, through its DVI team, was tasked [with identifying] the victims of this tragedy. With help from INTERPOL and the ICMP, we have reached the 100th DNA-matched result which led to the identification and release of the bodies to their respective families.

"We are committed to doing this until the last possible victim is identified and returned to their family,” he concluded.

Over 100 people die in stampede at Hindu temple near Jodhpur, India

September 30, 2008

Over 100 people died in a massive stampede at the Chamunda Devi temple Jodhpur, in the western state of Rajasthan, India. 168 people were killed, with just as many injured. A temple wall collapsed, causing panic among ten of thousands of gathered Hindu worshippers who then began to run for safety, causing the stampede. Several are still believed to be trapped under the rubble.

According to Malini Agarwal, a Jodhpur police officer, over 10,000 Hindus had gathered at a temple to perform their religious rites. Most of the injured have been transported to the nearest hospital and appeals were being made for the remaining pilgrims to be calm and peaceful.

In August another deadly incident resulting from a stampede occurred in the second day of a nine-day religious festival at the Naina Devi Temple in Himachal Pradesh state; more than 130 people were killed due to panic in Northern India.

Another incident in January 2005 saw more then 250 Hindu worshippers killed in a stampede near a remote temple in the state of Maharashtra.

Talk:Vancouver-Kingsway riding is clash between NDP and Liberals

Original reporting notes
In addition to a couple hours researching every candidate in various resources from Government filings to their ancient online history in archive.org... (this is tongue-in-cheek, implying that most reasonably well-written news articles on Wikinews involve the same level of research as so-called professional or mainstream media) An e-mail from one of the candidates 29 Sept. 2008:

Hello Wayne, Thanks for your email. The main issues in this riding seem to be changing over the course of the campaign. Accountability and representation seem to remain very important local factors for obvious reasons. Early on there was considerable debate about which candidates actually live in the riding (I am one of those who do live here). That seems to be getting less attention now, but the general absence of the Conservative candidate is an issue for people.

The cuts to arts and culture, and the attitude of the Conservative government toward the arts has also been on the minds of people I have been talking to. Overcrowding on public transit and the need for improvements in basic service is also important. Probably the biggest area of concern is economic. Social issues such as poverty, and especially the lack of affordable housing are being raised regularly, and the loss of low cost rental units is having an impact. In the last few days, of course, concern about the strength of the economy as a whole and the effects of the US financial crisis has been on the minds of more and more residents. From the perspective of my own campaign, I am focusing on the economic issues. promoting our National Affordable Housing Program and empahsizing programs to support local business and community economic development. I see the neighbourhoods in and around Kingsway as a great place to build on the natural vibrancy of the small business sector as a backbone for ethnically and economically diverse communities.

George Bush: Rescue plan will get through

September 30, 2008

George W. Bush vowed to get the 700 billion economic rescue plan through congress in a statement to the media made today.

"Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted on a financial rescue plan that had been negotiated by Congressional leaders of both parties and my administration," Bush reminded the audience. "Unfortunately, the measure was defeated by a narrow margin. I'm disappointed by the outcome, but I assure our citizens and citizens around the world that this is not the end of the legislative process."

"Producing legislation is complicated, and it can be contentious. It matters little what a path a bill takes to become law," he continued. "We're at a critical moment for our economy, and we need legislation that decisively address the troubled assets now clogging the financial system, helps lenders resume the flow of credit to consumers and businesses, and allows the American economy to get moving again."  Market Data {{Template:Stock Markets }} "I recognize this is a difficult vote for members of Congress. Many of them don't like the fact that our economy has reached this point, and I understand that. But the reality is that we are in an urgent situation, and the consequences will grow worse each day if we do not act. The dramatic drop in the stock market that we saw yesterday will have a direct impact on the retirement accounts, pension funds, and personal savings of millions of our citizens. And if our nation continues on this course, the economic damage will be painful and lasting." World and US markets today are up after severe declines yesterday. Most have recovered 30% of their previous losses, meaning that the potential government expenditure was similar to the market losses.

Bush then said that he knows "many Americans are especially worried about the cost of the legislation." He then attempted to justify the cost. "The bill the House considered yesterday commits up to 700 billion taxpayer dollars to purchase troubled assets from banks and other financial institutions. That, no question, is a large amount of money. We're also dealing with a large problem. But to put that in perspective, the drop in the stock market yesterday represented more than a trillion dollars in losses."

If passed, the bailout plan would have allowed for the United States government to purchase devalued mortgage backed securities, resulting from the subprime mortgage crisis, from troubled financial institutions. The US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the plan could cost up to $700 billion.

Comments:George Bush: Rescue plan will get through

What Rescue plan?
Does Bush not understand what congress did? There is no bill. There is no rescue plan. The (what was) bill is dead. In order for anything to be passed by the House, it has to be a new bill. Whether it has some or all of the provisions as the last or new stuff, remains to be seen. Regardless the bill, as it was, exists no more. Congress needs a new strategery. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 18:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

George Bush Bailout plan
George Bush seems to be very urgent on pushing through his bailout plan. He was not as urgent on injecting, without the right to court oversight, tax payer money into the bailout while he was hanging Saddam. Yet, this liquidity problem is not from today or yesterday, but from easily 2005 and even earlier, when George Bush was happily spending billions of dollars fighting Iraq's civil war for Iraq. Just look up 'US government debt' or something like it on your favourite search engine. The U.S. government knew for many years they were happily getting themselves into billions of dollars of debt. The euro started at about the same value as the dollar; be welcome to look up for yourself how the dollar differs in value from the euro nowadays. Actually George Bush doesn't want to inject tax payer money, actually he wants more money to be printed out of thin air, which, incidentally, is exactly what Mugabe's reserve bank chairman is doing in Zimbabwe. How many Zim dollar? How many U.S. dollar? Americans used to rest on the laurels of the size of their economy. I am writing this on a MacBook Pro. Flip it over, on the bottom it says 'Assembled in China.'. U.S. economy? Chinese economy? British economy? Whose economy? Up to now, the EU injected more money than the Fed did. Whose economy? The previous depression started in 1928-1932; only in 1975 were Americans allowed to individually own their own gold again. Americans can have their wars, but they must realise they're starting to pay for their wars. Americans should prepare themselves for a half century of financial hardship ahead in exchange for the wars that they are so happily fighting in other people's countries. They could also remember God again by stopping abortion and legal homosexual marriage and see how God heals their land.84.23.102.204 19:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, REPENT, that will solve the problem. Pfft, bury your god. The world has suffered enough at the hands of conviction, the last thing we need is a religious perspective on monetary issues.

Fifteen killed in apartment fire in Osaka, Japan

October 1, 2008 A seven story concrete apartment building in the Naniwanaka Naniwa Ward of Osaka, Japan was set ablaze, killing at least 15 people. The fire started early in the morning on October 1st in the Video DVD Cat sex shop on the first floor.

At least eight people were rescued from the building, four of whom were seriously injured in the fire. Most of the injuries and deaths were caused by smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning. According to authorities, all of the fatalities were in private viewing rooms in a video shop that was located on the first floor of the building.

The sex shop had 32 cubicles for watching videos, all of which were equipped with a bed, television, and video deck. Due to the beds, and a shower, shops like this are often used as cheap hotels. A customer, who fled to safety when the fire started, said to the media that the inside of shop was dark, and that he had difficulty seeing where he was going as he escaped.

Witnesses said that they first noticed a burning smell at 2:30am local time, and that the fire was reported to Osaka Fire Department around 3am. 40 fire trucks and 120 firefighters took part in the efforts to bring the blaze under control. The fire was extinguished at around 4:30am, after burning for about one and a half hours. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Hey, this looks interesting - I am curious what it does and how does it work? Cirt (talk) 12:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This ads a "Inline citation/references" button. I just realized that wikinews doesn't use the same system of inline citations as 'pedia, so that basically renders the tool useless. --Flewis (talk) 18:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Could it be adapted? That would be really useful if so. Cirt (talk) 18:51, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It sure could, I just don't have the time to work on it now. Feel free to try though :) --Flewis (talk) 18:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think they do at the moment, though it would definitely be something worth looking into. I suppose you could ask over at w:Wikipedia talk:Twinkle if that is possible. Cirt (talk) 19:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Copyright Violation
Howdy. Here on Wikinews you cannot copy & paste news from other sources and call it your own. I checked Movie studios sue, hoping to bar a DVD copying program from market, and found that every single sentence in that article was copyied from one source or another. I've yanked the article and marked it with Copyvio. Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to give you a friendly warning since repeated copyright violation is very frowned upon. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 16:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi there, Surely a couple of identical sentences still abide by the 'Fair-use' rationale'? I used multiple snippets of as many different news outlets as possible, so that at most, identical re-transmission of the text on wikinews would be no longer than 2 sentences.
 * Here is the text that 'constitutes' copyvio according to you (the lead sentence):
 * Six major movie studios sued RealNetworks, the Seattle-based digital media company, on Tuesday over its new $30 software program that allows people to make digital copies of their DVDs.
 * -To be blunt, I don't think the NY times have have enough evidence here to file a lawsuit against wikimedia on this alone. I would be willing to paraphrase the article or re-write it if there are any further problems --Flewis (talk) 18:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If you followed news you would realise that major news sources have attempted to sue bloggers for copying their article lede - this is exactly what you did, and potentially put us in the crossfire. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * End result. Fair use images, OK. Fair use text, Not Ok.  Fair use is _only_ acceptable when there is no other alternative.  There is always an alternative for text.  -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 19:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

twinkle
Its come to my attention that twinkle could cause problems if used on wikinews as it is not designed to work on other wiki projects. Well I personally have not looked at the code, so can't really assess any potential damages, the people who left a message on my talk page seem to be pretty well convinced. Anyways this is just a heads up that as a result your monobook.js has been cleared, and we would like to ask that any js imported from 'pedia that deals with automated editing be given a very tough once over before being used (as broken tools that do automated non-readonly thingies can potentially be a very large head ache). Thanks for your understanding. (feel free to ask me any comments/questions/hate-mail etc). Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand, but are there any projects/proposals underway to import javascript functions into wikinews? It would sure make life a hell of a lot easier. --Flewis (talk) 03:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * For whom? JS imports need to be maintained, and everyone has them downloaded whether or not they personally use the system. Wikinews has a relatively limited supply of expert help for things like js maintenance, so we try to take it easy on the number and complexity of things we ask them to do for us. -  Amgine | t 03:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * [edit conflict]Not really [any major js imports], there is simply not a whole lot of demand. There is a couple people who have there own little stash of javascript. I imported some of the more notable things (the syntax highlighter editor box thingy, and Lupin's famous popups) a while back as gadgets. There is probably several tools that would make life easier, but bear in mind that wikinews is operated significantly differently, and has different needs from wikipedia. I think you've already saw how the reference system is different, we don't really receive enough vandalism to make specialized tools all that neccesary (imho - i might be wrong though as i've never really used said specialized tools). Most of our javascript is really stuff to change mediawiki interface slightly (Look for opinion pages [although personally i think the opinion pages javascript could have been much better done, or really should be done in php...], and ticker for prime examples where javascript is used).

Talk:CanadaVOTES: Animal Alliance (AAEVPC) party leader Liz White running in Toronto Centre

RAW TEXT
Why are you running for political office, why at the federal level, why this party, and why in this riding?

The Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada was formed because of a Supreme Court ruling which prevented "third parties" (not registered political parties) from speaking out effectively at election time. Prior to the ruling, Animal Alliance's political arm Environment Voters participated as a third party in federal, provincial and municipal election campaigns. After the ruling, the only way we could participate effectively within the law was to become a federally registered political party which we did.

The Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada was formed to bring forward the prinicple of just and equitable human progress that respects, protects and enhances the environment upon which we all depend and the lives of the animals with whom we share our world.

I am running in Toronto Centre because I live there and because there are significant environmental and animal protection issues to be addressed. The Don River, a significant watershed runs parallel to the riding. The re-naturalization of the Don River lands has progressed but the river remains a source of pollution which affects wildlife and the environment. My riding also touches the lake and we have been promoting the re-naturalization of the shoreline, an important ecological initiative. My riding is close to Tommy Thompson Park which hosts a large and ecologically significant waterbird colony with Black-crown Night Herons, Double-crested Cormorants and colony of 30,000 gulls. We have an active campaign to defend cormorants, Canada geese and other birds against government sponsored culls. Finally, consideration is being given to the removal of the Gardiner Expressway and the re-naturalization of the lands below the off and on ramps. My riding presents significant opportunities to reclaim biologocial diversity, create wildlife corridors, to address and prevent human wildlife conflict and to re-naturalize habitat long lost to industrial use.

Previous to this campaign, have you been politically involved? How will you apply your previous work/volunteer/life experience to serving your constituents?

I have been involved in politics, advocating for the environment for over 30 years and for animals for over 20 years. In addition, I volunteered as a board member to a legal clinic specializing in poverty law and as a co-chair for a non-profit group that raised money and advocated for a native community in northern Alberta. My experience positions me to fulfill our mandate which is to fight for a just and equitable society that respects and protects humans, animals and the environment.

As you campaign around your riding, it's likely that some issues are mentioned more often by voters, than other issues. What would you say are the three hottest topics this election, in your riding? What would you and your party do to address these issues?

My approach to campaigning is to highlight and discuss the plight of the environment and the animals with whom we share the planet. So the voters tend not to ask my position on other issues.

Is there any misconceptions about you, your leader, or your party and platform?

Yes, the misconceptions is that we are referred to as a fringe party. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are the party of new ideas, a party of vision. Granting women the right to vote was considered a radical initiative as expressed in the article Human Rights in Canada, A Historical Perpsective, "The men in control of the country perceived women as a "weaker sex" needing protection and guidance. Some believed allowing women to vote would only unsettle them and lead to family discord." (http://www.chrc-ccdp.ca/en/timePortals/milestones/13mile.asp) However, with political pressure brought about by women of the time, the laws changed. Again as the article describes, "Times are about to change. A generation of women - led by dynamos like Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy, Ada Powers, Josephine Dandurand and Elizabeth Smith Shortt -have lobbied, cajoled, heckled, and ridiculed politicians for denying them their rights. They collected petitions, held rallies, and fought to have their voices heard." The Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada raises issues about the environment and animal protection that other parties fail to discuss either in elections or during the legislative agenda. We are the Nellie McClungs of the environmental and animal protection world.

There are more ways than ever to get your message out, from the traditional campaign fliers and lawn signs, to new media like websites, Facebook, and YouTube. The tried-and-true routes get the message out to the masses much easier, but digital alternatives are much more measurable in how many are seeing or interacting with your campaign. What seems to be the most effective, from your experience?

We have our television ad on YouTube however, I do not know how to measure the effectiveness other than it provides much broader access. It is hard to tell how many voters in my particular riding are accessing the ad.
