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 Rastadog. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rastadog~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) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Experts raise serious questions over safety of U.S. oil industry and warn another spill may be 'unavoidable'

"and" in headlines
Just a note, the style guide says to avoid the word "and" in headlines—in most cases, including this one, it can be replaced with a comma. I'm not going to move the article, because it's really a non-issue and we should avoid moving published articles if we can help it, so just consider this a quick heads-up.

Comments:Mother of slain Army Ranger calls for removal of General McChrystal from committee

This is not a betrayal to the Tillman family or anyone else. Since when do people get punished eternally for their mistakes / transgressions? General McChrystal made some poor choices. He paid the price for those choices, and that is all in the past now. At some point he must be allowed to move on and move forward. As a Special Operations commander, he knows full well the extremes of the strains that can be placed on the military member and their family. I think he is a fine choice and should be given a chance to execute the duties of his new office without bias towards past mistakes.Tadpole256 (talk) 13:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Mother of slain Army Ranger calls for removal of General McChrystal from committee/President Obama Betrays Tillman Family (Again) by Appointing Gen. McChrystal & CNAS to Run "Joining Forces" Program

Just a couple weeks before the 7th anniversary of Pat Tillman’s friendly-fire death on April 22, 2004, the Tillman family isn’t happy with yet another slap in their face by President Obama’s appointment of Gen. Stanley McChrystal as advisor of the new program “Joining Forces.”

Mary Tillman was critical of President Obama’s 2009 nomination of Gen. McChrystal and the bipartisan Congressional failure to hold him accountable for his central role in the Army’s cover-up of Pat Tillman’s friendly fire death. In May 2004, Gen. McChrystal supervised the writing of Pat Tillman’s fraudulent Silver Star and the cover-up of his friendly-fire death by the Ranger RGT officers. Over the next five years, the ensuing Army & Congressional “investigations” were part of the bi-partisan whitewash which “exonerated” Gen. McChrystal and others involved of wrong-doing.

Besides the Bush Administration, some of the more prominent figures involved in the whitewash include: Senator McCain, Senator Webb, Senator Levin, Congressman Waxman, President Obama, NYT reporter Thom Shanker, Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and CNAS’s Andrew Exum. To learn more, I’d suggest Narda Zacchino's post http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/what_stanley_mcchrystal_did_to_pat_tillmans_family_20110413/ and Mary Tillman’s book “Boots on the Ground by Dusk” (revised paperback edition with a new forward at blurb.com), Jon Krakauer’s paperback edition “Where Men Win Glory” (although a flawed bio, it has details on McChrystal’s role in the Army’s cover-up), the fine documentary “The Tillman Story,” and my Feral Firefighter blog at http://www.feralfirefighter.blogspot.com

Last June, I posted “The Emperor’s General” which discussed President Obama’s role in the whitewash of Gen. McChrystal. Last August, I posted “The [Untold] Tillman Story” which discussed how a bi-partisan Congressional effort shielded McChrystal from accountability (and also the role of NYT reporter Thom Shanker and CNAS’s Andrew Exum). Ironically, although Center for a New American Security (CNAS) will run the “Joining Forces” program, their Fellow Andrew Exum contributed to McChrystal’s whitewash with his biased book review of Jon Krakauer’s book for the Washington Post (and failed to fully disclose his professional and personal conflicts of interests with McChrystal). And here's an excerpt from his June 2, 2009 post "Confirm Him" blogging as Abu Mugawama (cnas.org): “The bottom line is, nothing is ever going to heal the wounds inflicted on the Tillman Family … And while I have nothing but respect for the Tillman Family…, their personal grief should not be a veto on the nomination of the man [Gen. Stanley McChrystal] … These are serious questions and are more important than either the death of Pat Tillman or the alleged abuse of detainees.”

Considering their past betrayal of the Tillman family, it appears that Gen. McChrystal and CNAS are a poor choice to run the “Joining Forces” program to take care of our military veterans and their families.

I'm pretty sure "An eye for an eye" isn't the same as "If you don't give me a stick to beat by kids, I'll laugh while the neighbors rape your wife and strangle you with your own guts". That second one kind of sounds like abuse of power. Just a thought.

Comments:Safe house in the Underground Railroad to be torn down

Comments from feedback form - "Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Ma..."
Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Martin Luther King Day. The Waukesha Freeman, a newspaper with roots in the Abolitionist Movement before the American Civil War, announced that the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has deemed a house at Highway 164 and Lisbon Road of no historical value, and has authorized its demolition sometime this spring.

A historian in the town of Sussex, Wisconsin, where the house is located, noted that residents had a verbal tradition that it was a location in the Underground Railroad, a route for slaves to Canada, before the American Civil War.

Sue Baker, of the Waukesha County Historical Society, which has a museum of county history in the old Court House, noted that Waukesha County had strong abolitionist leanings.

Ironically, Waukesha County, due to its high house prices, compared to Milwaukee County, has relatively few African-American residents, and statistically, the Milwaukee metropolitan area is one of the most segregated in the United States. —GIRLHISTORY2011 (talk) 13:52, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

'Outraged' LaHood unveils plans to tackle fatigued U.S. air traffic controllers

April 17, 2011

United States officials have unveiled new plans which require to have longer rest periods between shifts after a spate of controllers fell asleep while on duty at airports across the country. Announcing the plans, transport secretary said he was "outraged" by the incidents.

The new plans, which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. government agency responsible for aviation, said would be implemented immediately, come after another controller was suspended this week when they fell asleep while directing aircraft near. The incident was the sixth this year; controllers have fallen asleep in Nevada, Washington D.C., and Tennessee. In one incident, two commercial passenger jets landed without any direction from the control tower because the controller on duty had fallen asleep.

LaHood said controllers would be required to have a minimum of nine hours rest between shifts, an increase of an hour, and more supervisors would be required during night shifts, and they will be restricted in what shifts they can swap with colleagues. "I don't know when I've ever been madder," LaHood said in a television interview on . "We're not going to stand by and let that happen." "We've taken steps, as of this morning, to begin changing schedules for controllers, to change schedules for managers, and to make sure that controllers cannot switch in and out of their schedules in order for the convenience of them if they are not well-rested," LaHood said. He vowed that he would ensure any controllers falling asleep on duty would face consequences. "On my watch, controllers will not be paid to take naps," he said. "We're not going to allow that."

Earlier this week,, the head of air traffic organization at the FAA, resigned from his position after LaHood said the crisis in U.S. control towers was "unacceptable", and vowed to resolve the issue. "I am totally outraged by these incidents," LaHood said. "This is absolutely unacceptable. The American public trusts us to run a safe system."

The results of a study on how affects controllers will soon be published and the FAA may make changes. But LaHood insisted controllers had to "take personal responsibility" for the safety of aircraft over the U.S., and they should not make irresponsible shift changes which will make them tired and put passengers at risk. He said all the controllers involved in the incidents had been suspended, and could ultimately be sacked. The, a representing controllers in the U.S., said the FAA had their "full support" in implementing the new steps to tackle fatigue.

We're in store for a lot more than this. The UN predicts we'll add 1 billion people within the next 15 years, and another billion by 2045. We'll need to end the gluttonous lifestyle of the west and have another green revolution... or we'll all be eating bread made from insects.

Template:T/doc

This template is used to automatically convert a time from a local time zone to UTC. It takes multiple parameters in various combinations:
 * (preferred)
 * (preferred)

For example,  produces:
 * 1600

and  produces:
 * +0100

Half-hour (and quarter-hour) offsets should also work, but don't:
 * 1600

It also accepts a time as an optional third parameter, in case the template works it out wrong (as happens, for example, with half-hour offsets as mentioned above, or sometimes where two time zones share a code). The fourth parameter can be used to specify a different time zone, instead of UTC, but in these cases the time must be entered into the third parameter manually. Thus  produces:
 * 1600

The time zone codes for both parameters are automatically linked to the relevant English Wikipedia article. Where no Wikipedia article exists, an  tag, with the full name of the time zone as the title text, is used. Hence  produces:
 * 1600

Using the template with no parameters should produce the current time in UTC, so  outputs undefined.

Note: Times and offsets must be entered as four-digit 24-hour numbers with no colon. Hence 7:00pm must be entered as  and an offset of one hour as   or.

Reply to your criticisms

 * Oh. Could you be more specific? What part of what I said is incorrect? I find you comments and accusations on my page unclear and needlessly accussatory.  Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are saying.

Examples:
 * "In addition to the alluded-to 1984" ( What is the "the alluded-to 1984"? I did a search for 1984 and could not find a mention.) What do you mean by this?

 * "I would suggest familiarising yourself with a TV show from the UK called "Drop The Dead Donkey"; that might orient you in terms of some of the warped humour people employ" - by "people", I assume the editors of wikinews. Isn't this a very narrow sample wikinews editors? Or are they all from the UK and of the age and value system mirrored by that UK sit com. Perhaps the lack of  NPOV behavior of editors here is why editors are driven off and contributions are declining. I assume you ascribe to Neutral point of view but evidently think that a culturally narrow group of "people" can provide a global, culturally diverse view? You suggest I must take on the values of a 1990's sitcom in order to fit in here and understand comments and write articles? No wonder this site attracts so few editors. They don't fit the "warped" stereotype.
 * "you still seem to expect a plethora of rules and conventions you're used to to apply here." This is based on what? That I asked a question regarding an image that had been deleted? (I have never understood the image rules clearly anyhow.) I was trying to get help. The fact that the editor I was trying to help personally attacked me three times that day, and did so on the image discussion page, and on the image page under discussion was not commented upon by the "people" giving their opinion, gives the impression that the "people" here overlook that sort of thing.  I guess is part of the warped sense of humor so valued here and is tolerated, perhaps even encouraged. {One  editor uninvolved in the discussion reprimanded him. And  one relatively uninvolved editor commenting in the image question gave him an incivility warning.. Why did none of the other "people" notice?   Do you think that incivility is part of the "warped" behavior tolerated here, but asking questions and trying to make sense of the written rules of wikinews is not?
 * "If you hang on to a Wikipediaesque view"  - where is you evidence for this? Again because I asked about the deleted image? Or do you have other evidence that I am hanging on to a  "Wikipediaesque view" that '"What the World knew six months ago was wrong, we must now correct everything associated with it" attitude'. Could you list your evidence for this? (Aside from the image question, one incident that you have misinterpreted.)

I apologize in advance if this sort of discussion and seeking clarification is not allowed on this site.

Mattisse (talk) 17:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This sort of overly-verbose-in-the-extreme request for clarification is what I find most "Wikipediaeqsue". Brevity is the soul of wit, and all that; if you don't get "Memory Hole" as a reference to the George Orwell novel 1984, then I cannot be held responsible for what you have, and have not, read. Please ask someone else if you're still having issues, I'm working on a substantial article under embargo, and would prefer not being drawn into other issues; I believe I have attempted to be helpful; I do not believe my remarks have been construed as such. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:02, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * My advice to you is to communicate clearly, and not use culturally specific metaphors that may not be understood. Why should you assume an editor has read certain books, and even if they have, if you are referring to George Orwell, that they understand your reference. Just some advice to you on better writing, per the sentiment behind Wikinews:Neutral point of view-Anglo-American-centic point of view.  Mattisse (talk) 20:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * An utterly irrelevant appeal to policy; my, most brief, advice is to take your issues up with someone who has considerably more idle time. I'm busy, very busy. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * My problem is with you and one other editor who has been warned for making uncivil comments to me. I will be perfectly happy if you just leave me alone and cease suggesting to me that a provincial POV is the way to go. Please stop your bad faith accusations toward me.  Hopefully, this is our last interaction. Best wishes watching your UK  TV sit com. Mattisse (talk) 21:11, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * See my earlier response, which strongly discouraged you from responding on this particular page. Consider this my resignation from the "Welcommittee", and notice I will delete any, and all, further communications from yourself on this page, without response. I consider your approach most unreasonable. I do not take at all kindly to the way you have interacted on this page (let alone going into remarks elsewhere). You were, in my prior comment, advised I was working on an important news item. I am most unamused at this response - not something likely to endear you to someone who has spent nine hours in a mentally demanding office job, plus five hours on work related to this project. Take. It. Elsewhere. - As previously advised. --Brian McNeil / talk 00:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

ACLU, EFF challenging US 'secret' court orders seeking twitter data
Could you explain a bit more why you think "twitter" should be lowercased? I realize that's how their logo is stylized, but Wikipedia capitalizes it, and the bottom of their home page reads, "© 2011 Twitter". In addition, their about page (and other pages) all capitalize "Twitter". Do you think this is enough to move it to a capitalized "T", or is there a SG requirement standing in the way?  — fetch · comms  22:50, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd drop Wikipedia from that argument: 1. It can't be considered reliable, 2. MediaWiki settings there force 1st letter capitalisation in titles. Beyond that, I'm not ultra fussed but think the logo style is what most people expect. --Brian McNeil / talk 01:20, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Many internet websites don't capitalise the first letter - Facebook doesn't (see File:Facebook.svg), yet we wouldn't use it lowercase. To me it looks wrong not to use uppercase. Maybe WP isn't reliable, but every MSM source I've seen uses "Twitter", and we have as well in our previous stories. Tempodivalse [talk]  01:34, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * (Software detail: granted (1), not (2). There as here, initial letter of a display title can be lowercased.)  --Pi zero (talk) 01:55, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Reliable or not, WP also uses the capitalized version in the prose itself, not just the title. But as Tempo said, other sources use "Twitter", and as its own website does, too, I've moved the page accordingly.  — fetch · comms  02:28, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Note on 'pedia in title. MediaWiki can now work around that issue using display title. (for example see iPhone ). As for the actual issue - shouldn't we be considering that Twitter is a proper noun, instead of considering what twitter actually does? (otoh, one wouldn't capitalize xkcd). But anyways seems a moot point per above. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:59, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:UK union ups strike stakes at services for unemployed

PCS Presser
Below is the verbatim text of a PCS union pressrelease sent to scoop

Press Release

Jobcentre Plus Call Centre Workers on Strike April 18th Members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) are taking strike action in the 37 call centres in Jobcentre Plus including 5 offices in Wales Newport, Bridgend, Pembroke Dock, Bangor and Caerphilly. We are striking in protest over the factory-style working conditions that exist in Jobcentre Plus call centres. We took strike action in the 7 newest call centres on 20th and 21st January to show the strength of feeling of our members but management have failed to negotiate seriously with us. So we balloted all our members across all the call centres and got over 70% voting for strike action. So we will be taking strike action on Monday April 18th.

Why are we on Strike? The dispute has been caused by Jobcentre Plus management’s obsession with hitting call centre targets at the expense of providing good quality services to the public. PCS members want to be allowed to deal with the calls they receive and stop having to fob benefit claimants off simply to meet arbitrary and irrelevant targets. Over 3,500 staff have been transferred into call centres from the benefit processing arm of Jobcentre Plus despite the backlogs caused by large numbers of people claiming benefits like Jobseekers Allowance.

We Want Respect Our members want to give genuine customer service but instead call handling targets mean individuals do not have their query dealt with when they ring up. This dispute is about respect. We want both the public and our members to be respected by the DWP.

Better public Service PCS believes that our members deserve the best terms and conditions to be able to deliver the best services to the public. Instead we have to suffer oppressive working conditions that simply result in high levels of stress and sickness and staff leaving at an alarming rate. 2,779 staff have left Jobcentre Plus call centres since April 2010. This is over 20% of the total workforce.

No Alternative PCS has tried to secure a settlement to the dispute during months of negotiations but due to the intransigence of Jobcentre Plus management the union is left with no alternative now but to call a strike. Together we will win.

Defend jobs and public services Our members in the DWP are on the front line of helping workers who lose their jobs pick up the pieces and we know how vital these services are. We are acutely aware of the great disparity between the number of job vacancies and people who want to find work. PCS is vigorously opposing the plans to close the Newport Passport office, Cardiff DSA office and Milford Haven coastguard station which could have a devastating impact on jobs and services in the local economy, where every job matters. We will work with other unions and communities to campaign hard to defend jobs and quality public services. Picket lines Picket lines will be outside our offices between 7.30-9.30am I have put the addresses of the sites taking industrial action below

> Sent: Mon Apr 18 18:57:35 2011

> Subject: Call centre strike

> Hi Brian,

> As discussed, out statement is below.

> Kind regards,

> Katie

> A DWP spokesperson said:

> "We are disappointed that despite three-quarters of staff across the centres having voted not to go on strike, the PCS have decided to take industrial action.

> "The contact centre staff at DWP have good terms of employment including generous holidays, and have a good amount of flexibility. But we have to ensure that our service is available when our customers, who include some of. the most vulnerable people in the country, need us.

> "We use performance measures to ensure that performance and productivity are high, and we deliver value for money for the taxpayer."

Notes from call with DWP
When I spoke to Katie, she stated that the PCS had informed them that approximately 40% of the 9,000 staff in JSP contact centres would be taking action; this was, as far as the DWP is concerned, largely accurate.

I asked if they planned to change working practices in light of the dispute I was told there were "no indications they intended to change their way of working".

Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous/archives/2011/April

A Wikinews think tank.
Hello! I'd like to publicise a new idea that several Wikinewsies have worked upon. Basically, once every couple of weeks there will be a meeting held in an IRC channel based loosely on the Wikimedia Offfice's "office hours". The "meeting" or "think tank" would be open to everyone. We would have a prepared list of topics on the agenda to discuss, regarding improvements and long-term goals. People can make suggestions and ask questions (but off-topic comments will be discouraged). Logs from the meeting would be published on-wiki. The goal is to combine the openness of the wiki with the convenience of real-time conversation. Ideally, this meeting would be held once every few weeks at a prearranged time.

Logistics:
 * Meetings will be held in a dedicated channel called #wikinews-workshop. The trial run is scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday), at 21.00 to 23.00 UTC. This is the time that most Wikinewsies are available. Security/mod access will be granted to a few trusted users to make sure things run smoothly throughout.

Please try to publicise this meeting as much as possible cross-wiki. I'd like to have new users and Wikimedians present so they can ask about how things work and provide fresh ideas for moving forward. Involving people not involved in the project's inner workings can provide fresh insight and perspective.

Thanks. -Tempodivalse [talk]  22:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, a list of suggested topics for the trial run meeting's agenda:
 * Why the burn-out rate is so high on Wikinews
 * Making the site more approachable by newbies
 * Altering the peer-review requirement to make it less strict
 * Feel free to suggest more ideas. Tempodivalse [talk]  22:53, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * - Having a think-tank is a good idea. Having discussions in general is a sound proposal. However I am not sure what is to be gained from "abolishing the peer-review requirement", as opposed to simply first trying to discuss modifying it in some way. -- Cirt (talk) 14:35, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm, that wasn't phrased quite the way I intended. There are proposals to remove the requirement for articles to be peer-reviewed, although the peer-review system would still remain for articles needing to be published to Google News. Now clarified. (Do we need a separate agenda page?) Tempodivalse [talk]  14:45, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Any modification to the peer review process, especially "abolishing" peer review for a great many articles in the process, would endanger the likelihood of any articles in the future being published to Google News, not to mention degrading the quality of the entire review process, itself. -- Cirt (talk) 15:49, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Where have you been these past weeks? ;) This proposal has been thrown all over the place and has gained a good deal of acceptance. If you'd like to make your voice heard I suggest you post a comment to Template talk:Main stories. Or, even better, join the think tank this evening and provide thoughts. Tempodivalse [talk]  15:55, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have been busy with significant things IRL. This proposal to do away with peer review in this fashion seems very drastic and a severe step backwards in quality for this site. -- Cirt (talk) 18:22, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I did point out there is no apparent way for the two workflows to coexist —the unreviewed flow will annihilate the idealized— and asked for a reason that wouldn't happen. Was told maybe it would happen, which seems to suggest the answerer considered that acceptable.  For a time I continued pursuing prospects for mitigating the problem, but by now I'm pretty much convinced there's no mitigating alternative after all.  --Pi zero (talk) 04:48, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Pi zero is right, the unreviewed flow will dominate the review flow, and reviewed work will be subsumed to it, effectively doing away with the entire review process. :( -- Cirt (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * So what would you propose? I agree that the proposal will make it unlikely anything will get reviewed - but the status quo isn't ideal either, and makes it harder for us to expand and keep up with the MSM on timeliness. There doesn't seem to be a real via media. (BTW, I'll highlight this issue on the agenda for the think-tank/workshop next week. Last meeting didn't resolve the issue completely.) Tempodivalse [talk]  21:43, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * What did go on during that "think tank"? (Wasn't there some talk of providing information on-wiki about what had gone on, as a matter of openness?  I'm made uncomfortable by the phrasing "Last meeting didn't resolve the issue completely."  Makes it sound rather cabal-like.)  --Pi zero (talk) 11:33, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * What I assume is intended to eventually be central should this remain regularly is at IRC workshop, it includes a link to the log. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:49, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not a cabal. :-) If you look at the link above you'll find a link to last meeting's logs. What I meant was, there was no clear answer to the review problem last time, actually more questions arose, so it's a wide-open topic. (BTW, feel free to discuss comments and ideas from the log on-wiki. The whole idea is to integrate IRC and wiki for the most efficient brainstorming.) Tempodivalse [talk]  14:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, I was only noting that it sounded a bit like a cabal. Of course, There Is No Cabal.

Here are a few miscellaneous thoughts I jotted down, just now, while attempting(!) to read through the log. --Pi zero (talk) 15:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Imho many newbies are massively invested in individual articles (especially their first), which can magnify failure to publish into a huge thing — especially unfortunate, since problems that bad are most likely with newbies. To experienced Wikinewsies, articles are a commodity, and losing one though annoying isn't earth-shattering.
 * The fact that reviewers need to remain independent of an article means that, when they see a really serious problem, they're apt not to fix it even if they see how to. Making things that much harder for newbies who don't already know how to fix it themselves.
 * Folks from other wikis come to WN, I think, often having heard rumors that WN is full of corrupt mean power-mongers, though they don't necessarily believe it. Then there's something that sometimes happens, that looks different to (say) Wikipedians than it does to Wikinewsies, that causes them to decide the stereotype is true after all.
 * With all the blame that gets heaped on reviewer for creating tension (which isn't really fair: reviewer is just "the messenger" (as in, "don't kill the") for the inherently tense effort to produce high-quality news on a deadline), I think it's sometimes overlooked that reviewer also prevents most edit wars, by making it possible to get a second opinion on the edits that count, so that edit disagreements don't become one-on-one.

Treasury reveals cost of carbon tax on Australian families
Made a bit of a mess on this one. It contained way too many sources, and I was able to verify it without looking at all of them. However, when I removed sources I trimmed out the wrong ones. The correct sources are now in place and at no point was unverified info on there, but still. Whoops. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:14, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Singular "they"
Should we be using singular "they" in our articles? Although it's almost universal in spoken English, at the formal levels its use is somewhat controversial. After observing the practises of several other news sites, it appears many of them prefer to avoid use of a pronoun at all or employ "he or she" (*cringe*). So is there a set practise at Wikinews? WN:SG doesn't appear to cover this issue. Tempodivalse [talk]  02:44, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Some examples of singular they are awkward, just as some sentences ending with prepositions are awkward. Neither practice is inherently wrong, however.  --Pi zero (talk) 12:59, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Indeed. But shouldn't a mention be made in the style guide? It does seem to be somewhat important. Most style manuals I've seen give instructions for correct gender-neutral pronoun use. Tempodivalse [talk]  15:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * If we can come up with a well-crafted proposal for implementing such a thing —where and with what wording to make such provision in the SG— I would be willing to support it. Obviously we have no interest in touching off any holy wars about it (in any direction), and that's one of the things a well-crafted proposal should avoid.  --Pi zero (talk) 16:36, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Singular they *is* wrong in formal writing.
 * Strunk's Element's of Style
 * Times Online Style Guide
 * However, it is generally more acceptable in UK writing (Fowler's Modern English Usage.) The usual response from copyeditors is also known as the Chicago rule (Chicago Manual of Style): rewrite to avoid the problem. -  Amgine | t 03:10, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Woo! Review queue cleared
* highfives everyone who helped clear the review queue today*

Cheers everyone:). Gopher65talk 00:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah, thanks for helping out! 14 articles waiting for review, two of them breaking, is a bit embarrassing, but glad we got it cleared. Unfortunately I failed quite a few for staleness. Let's see if we can keep it down below five. I'm prepared to award barnstars to people who have really worked on reviewing - why haven't we been giving them out to each other lately? It's such an encouragement. Tempodivalse [talk]  01:08, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to do my best to make sure it stays under five next time. :) -- Nascar 1996  (talk • contribs) 01:10, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll act as the unwelcome pessimist in this, and point out (as I tried clumsily to do on IRC earlier) that there is danger in awarding barnstars for peer review. We've historically tried not to push people to do reviews, as carelessness in review causes very bad things to happen (to the whole project, actually).  Also, when mistakes are made in review —of some size or other, sooner or later— it may make things significantly more awkward if the reviewer got a barnstar for the work.  --Pi zero (talk) 01:42, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * We shouldn't award barnstars to people because that could make them get careless? I'm not sure I agree with that sentiment, although I can see your position. When I was awarded barnstars, I felt glad someone had noticed my work and appreciated it. It actually made me want to work harder and better, not more sloppily. (Maybe others would react differently, this is just a personal anecdote.) At least give a warm thanks to any user who shows some enthusiasm, if you're opposed to barnstars. That can *really* delay burnout. Tempodivalse  [talk]  01:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Note, my above comment doesn't say barnstars should never be awarded for review work. It says there's danger, and goes on to describe, in the fine tradition of pessimism, What Can Go Wrong.  --Pi zero (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Having received a big bunch over at the other place, I don't think they make one bit of difference. A personal "thank you" from an editor means more.  Just my opinion. (And also having personal pride that you are contributing to a project.)  Mattisse (talk) 02:12, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Press pass, England and Switzerland in Wembley Stadium, on 4th of June
One of your friendly OTRS respondents handling emails to the Wikinews email address here. User:Ludo29, a former member of the board of Wikimedia CH, contacted Wikimedia UK, who bumped the email to Wikinews, regarding the possibility of obtaining press passes for the football game between England and Switzerland in Wembley Stadium, on 4th of June. They are looking for one or two photographers based in England. Wikimedia Switzerland has done this before. See w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-02-14/Accreditation. If you are interested, have questions, or are available, please contact that user (or me and I'll put him in touch with you). The deadline is May 2nd to respond.

Tell Ludo29 to drop me an email about this; I've no idea who we might can get to do the photography - that'd be one for Wikimedia UK if no London-area 'newsies pipe up.

EtherPad Update
I've been emailing Philippe at the WMF about our EtherPad desires, and here's what he replied:

''Just to followup... We recently moved the etherpad installation to a new location on our hardware cluster, which was smaller, given our internal needs. Ops is kicking it around to decide whether it makes sense to expand this install or set you guys up with your own shiny installation of it. I don't know what the end result will be, but it looks like we'll spend some serious effort trying to get you access to the tool, one way or the other, in a method that won't be frightfully burdensome on the servers. I hope to have an answer shortly.''

Followed by:

''I haz an update! Please feel free to use http://etherpad.wikimedia.org, with our blessing!''

So it looks like we can use EtherPads more easily now for initial article creation:). Gopher65talk 00:41, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Template:T
T should automatically convert times into UTC. However, it doesn't work right with half-hour and quarter-hour offsets (see the last example). Could somebody who has time think about taking a look at it, please? I don't imagine those time zones will be used often, but it would be nice for them to work. DEN DODGE  19:21, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

 * What about savings time (the rules for which change from zone to zone and from year to year in semi-random ways)? --Pi zero (talk) 22:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * DST time zones have different names than the standard time zone. The UK, for example, switches from GMT to BST for half the year. DEN  DODGE  22:34, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

 * A thought. The time zone abbreviations are themselves error-prone.  One would like to have help in selecting them, and one would like the help arranged somehow to minimize messing up on savings-time issues.  --Pi zero (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * UTC+0100 etc. also doesn't work, as Wikipedia's naming convention is w:UTC+01:00. — μ 14:55, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, UTC should be expressed without a colon. Not sure about expressing offsets with, or without. And, the rules don't change in semi-random ways. They were fixed until some moron in Washington decided that moving DST would save money on electricity. They overlooked the fact that millions of computing devices would need updated to handle the new switchover times. IIRC, it was going to take 10+ years of the electricity savings to cover the software costs and hardware replacement costs for things that could not be reprogrammed. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:08, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The whims of some moron in Washington are the prime example I had in mind when I chose the term "semi-random". --Pi zero (talk) 15:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Expressing it without a colon was the only way I could make the maths work. Using #time, we can change the format of the output, of course, but I didn't want to overcomplicate things. I thought WP had redirects from UTC+0100 to UTC+01:00. I only tried for that one, but assumed it would for them all. DEN  DODGE  16:14, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe not. I'll go fiddle with it to see if I can change the output :-) DEN  DODGE  16:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Errr.... divide 0100 by 100, and round down to get the hours. Multiply that by 100 and deduct the result from the 0100 to get the minutes. And, tell Usians to stop sending random morons to Washington :P Most of them get there before they've paid off their student loans. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I feel dumb now, but I really don't get this. I could probably do it by adding extra parameters, but that would mean rebuilding the whole thing. I think the hour of revision earlier has worn my brain out =P. Could somebody who does get it (probably everyone else, since it sounds like it should be simple, but I'm just not taking it in) perhaps do it for me? DEN  DODGE  16:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Quick mock-up:
 * -> 00:00
 * -> 00:00
 * --Pi zero (talk) 16:54, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Since this is supposed to be the (displayed) offset, is there a way to make it work with a + or - at the start of the string (e.g. +0100 or -0100)? (And preferably insert a + if no sign is specified, but I'm not sure that would be possible, and isn't really important). DEN  DODGE  16:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

If you have HHMM then:
 * Hour =

 * Which bizarro stuff? Padleft?  It makes, say, five minutes after one come out to " " instead of " ".  --Pi zero (talk) 22:48, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Meh, the links aren't that useful. Rather than overloading the code with these nasty hacks, I'll just take them out ^_^. I think UTC+0100 is just as easy to understand as UTC+01:00, and means we can stick to just having a parameter sat there. I do intend to link the time zone abbreviations, however, and will go do those now (don't worry, I can use #switch!). DEN  DODGE  17:14, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

 * bug #21919 is for an extension originally built for Wikinews which creates RSS/Atom feeds and Google News Sitemaps using a technique very similar to Dynamic Page List (which is active on en.Wiktionary if you want to play with it.) This would allow RSS feeds for a certain category, or the intersection of multiple categories (which becomes a sort of meta-category.) The mediawiki page may be slightly out of date, but explains how to use the extension once it is implemented.

NASCAR: Johnson beats Bowyer for victory in Aarons' 499

April 18, 2011 driver won his first race of the  NASCAR  season, and his second career win, at  on Sunday during the  in Alabama. Throughout the course of the race there were six and 88 lead changes among 26 drivers.

Johnson was 0.002 seconds ahead of at the conclusion of the race; this tied with the record for the closest finish in series history which occured at  in 2003. Pole position winner, finished third, ahead of  and  in fourth and fifth. took sixth position ahead of in seventh. ,, and rounded out the top ten finishers in the race.

Johnson said: "We were just the lucky guy at the end with a good run. We had some big mo on our side, and off we went." Johnson continued, "I can't thank Junior enough. He made the decision that my car was faster leading. And the way these things are finishing up, the lead car's going to get the win. In some respects, he was more worried about the team having a good performance than anything."

Schoolboy dies in Israel after bus hit by rocket from Gaza

April 18, 2011 A sixteen-year-old boy has died in hospital in, Israel of wounds he suffered after a bus he was travelling in was hit by a Palestinian missile fired from Gaza.

The bus was travelling near the town of and was nearly empty, having previously dropped off the other children on board. The only people on board were the driver and the student who was killed, Daniel Viflic. The driver was injured by shrapnel.

Viflic was taken to the intensive care unit at the Soroka Medical Center. According to Professor Shaul Sofer, who is the director of the intensive care unit, his condition had been "critical," and his death wasn’t a surprise because shortly after arrival "his brain stopped functioning."

However, Sofer explained that "[d]ue to the sensitive nature of the event," the doctors had "continued treatments despite knowing that he had no chance of recovery."

Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for Hamas, said that the attack on the bus had been unintentional and that they "did not intend to target Israeli school children," going on to say that the road where the incident occurred sees heavy military traffic.

Viflic's father, Yitzhak Viflic, said that "Daniel fought but passed away calmly. I am positive he is in a good place now."

Template:COinS/doc

Usage
This template inserts data using the COinS microformat into a page. COinS data makes it easier to correctly cite Wikinews in an academic work. It takes three parameters, y (the year of publication, as a four-digit number, e.g. 2011), m (the month of publication, as a number, e.g. 01), and d (the day of publication, as a number, e.g. 31). If these are not included, it defaults to the date of the last revision.

Hence, it takes the format: .

Alternatively, it can accept a date, in any format (YYYY-MM-DD preferred), via the date parameter. Hence would (hopefully) give the same output as the example above, as would

It gives no visible output to most users (it has the span style ). Some users (such as those using text-based browsers, e.g. Lynx) will be served a small non-breaking space with some ugly title text.

This page contains COinS data using the current date, as a test of the mechanism.

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 Silver phoenix. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Silver phoenix~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 23:30, 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.

UK union ups strike stakes at services for unemployed

April 19, 2011

Following on from January's strike, the UK's (PCS) yesterday took 24 hours strike action in a dispute over working conditions within call centres providing Jobcentre services for the  (DWP). A press release sent Sunday night by Katrine Williams, the Chair of PCS Wales, states 70% of members who voted were in favour of the industrial action. PCS members "suffer oppressive working conditions that simply result in high levels of stress and sickness" according to the union, and points to the 2,779 staff who left Jobcentre Plus call centres since April last year – approximately 20% of the workforce in the 37 Jobcentre Plus offices handling calls from the public – as evidence of the challenging work environment. The union says management is "obsessed with hitting call centre targets at the expense of providing good quality services to the public".

The DWP characterises the action differently, stating 75% of staff voted against the strike. According to the DWP staff work under reasonable terms, but "we have to ensure that our service is available when our customers, who include some of the most vulnerable people in the country, need us." To that end the DWP readily admits it uses performance measures to ensure high productivity and performance, their goal is to "deliver value for money for the taxpayer", and they do not have any plans to change the way they do business.

A report in the  cites more than 500 staff on strike, and quotes PCS regional secretary Peter Middleman describing the culture in-place in Jobcentre Plus contact centres as "battery-farmed working practices". Similarly, the  cites 120 staff on strike at the Cardwell Place call centre and the expectation that 2,500 across the North West of England were expected to take action; Middleman is quoted describing the call centres as "the modern day equivalents of dark, satanic mills where our members are over worked, overly monitored and forced to endure an obsession with arbitrary targets".

The DWP reported the union informed them approximately 40% of the 9,000 staff in JSP contact centres would be taking action, which tallied with their own estimates.

Face-to-face Jobcentre services were unaffected by yesterday's strike action; the union have announced that this will be followed with an indefinite ban on members working overtime.

Usage
This template makes 'pseudo-categories' a bit prettier: it is intended for use on articles that have been placed into userspace after being failed at the review stage, as these articles cannot be categorised in the normal sense.

This template accepts up to thirty variables at present.

It is bad practice to use more than one instance of this template on a page, and is equally bad practice to use it when the page is categorised.

Thread:Comments:Poverty rises as food prices increase/The future/reply

Amen. Another topic that "torques my jaw." Overpopulation. We need to stop telling ourselves "it'll be all right" and start talking about population control. There are too many of us now, and yet the majority of people have no idea. Years ago (the late 1960s) I used to hear about Zero-Population Growth, now apparently no one wants to talk about it, let alone do anything about it. Two kids per family and everybody eats is way better than "octomoms" and everyone going hungry. We are NOT running out of people, we're running out of places to put them and ways to feed them.

Thread:Comments:'Outraged' LaHood unveils plans to tackle fatigued U.S. air traffic controllers/Fatigue

If one controller falls asleep at the proverbial wheel, then it makes sense to punish him; he is obviously doing something wrong.

If we find ourselves in the middle of a spate of these incidents, then it's time to reevaluate the management decisions that led to these events, not pull the typical government knee-jerk "let's fire everybody and then do the mandated minimum to make the media leave us alone" routine, which is where I see this going.

Also, you can bet that more than one tower manager is aware of these issues and has submitted recommendations - naturally ignored to lower costs - but the executives will act all indignant and fire all the low-level employees to give the appearance of doing *something* because who the heck cares about them?
