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

Baghdad barbers threatened with death for cutting beards

July 13, 2005

A series of threats have been made to Baghdad barbers who have been cashing in on the upsurge in popularity of 'Marine' and french hairstyles amongst Baghdad youths. Over the past few weeks barbers were warned not to cut beards and not to offer the western hairstyles, unless they wanted 'swords over their necks'. Many barbers have put up signs saying that taboo haircuts are not available in their shops. Those who flout these threats have been killed.

According to Maj. Col. Abbas Dilemi of the Baghdad Police, some of the extremists have been caught, but they have turned out to be criminals paid by third parties to make the threats and carry out the murders of those who ignore them.

Mr. Mohamed Sa'eed, a leading figure in the Iraqi Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution, has castigated those responsible for the threats saying: 'and now groups from abroad come carrying temporary ideology that did not exist even in the Middle Ages,' then stated that there 'should be no compulsion in religion' whilst calling for juristic and intellectual work to defeat extremism.

Former WorldCom CEO Ebbers sentenced to 25 years

July 13, 2005 , founder and former CEO of telecommunications giant, now MCI, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in the corporate accounting fraud totaling US$11 billion. The once-powerful company plunged into in July 2002.

The sentence was handed down by Manhattan federal court Judge Barbara S. Jones. Mr. Ebbers, who is 63, asked for a lenient sentence due to his failing health and a heart condition, and because of his philanthropy.

Prosecutors pushed for a life sentence, and said the sentencing "should prove to be a deterrent" to corporate wrongdoing. "The enormity of the crimes that Ebbers committed cannot be overstated: the fraud at WorldCom was the largest securities fraud in history," prosecutors wrote in papers filed last month.

Jones rejected defense lawyers' contentions that the government overstated the losses, and that Ebbers was not a mastermind of the wrongdoing. Jones believed Ebbers deserved a harsh sentence, and said "Mr. Ebbers was the instigator of the fraud.".

Ebbers appeared to be tense when arriving at the court and even shoved a photographer out of his way. After the sentence was given, Ebbers was seen weeping. His first day of prison will be October 12.

In March, Ebbers was found guilty of fraud, conspiracy, and seven counts of filing false documents with regulators.

WorldCom emerged from bankruptcy last year under the name, which was one of the many companies WorldCom had acquired. In May, agreed to acquire the company.

Study: Socialized Canadian surgery half the U.S. cost with same results

July 13, 2005

Americans pay twice as much for heart-bypass surgery as the socialized Canadian system, with no difference in outcome, according to today's issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine in a study funded by American drug company, Pfizer Inc.. The research found that heart bypass surgery costs an average of $10,373 in Canada, compared with $20,673 in the United States. Even though the costs were double in the United States, the rate of complications and death following bypass surgery was similar.

High administrative costs and overtreatment are usually blamed for the higher cost in the profit-driven U.S. system. Americans spent $5,635 per capita on health care in 2003, while only $3,003 was spent by Canadians. Health spending accounts for almost 15 per cent of gross domestic product in the U.S. and just under 10 per cent in Canada; while at the same time, all Canadian residents are full covered. In addition, the average Canadian lives 2 years longer than the average American.

This is one of the first studies directly comparing the costs of surgery in Canada and the United States and it reinforces the view of Dr. Mark Eisenberg, head of cardiovascular epidemiology at Jewish General Hospital in Montreal; "The conventional wisdom is that health care is much more expensive in the U.S. and the conventional wisdom is right." by finding that Canada's socialized system is far more cost efficient than the U.S. model.

The cost of medications used to treat bypass patients were as much as 68 percent greater in the U.S. than in Canada and the cost of a surgical bed was 36 percent greater in the U.S.. In Canada, nursing accounted for 44 percent of the treatment costs, compared with 21 percent in the U.S. and patients stayed longer in hospital following surgery in Canada.

Shuttle launch called off due to faulty fuel tank sensor

July 13, 2005

The U.S. space agency NASA called off the launch of Space shuttle Discovery today after a problem with a fuel sensor in the external tank used to detect fuel exhaustion. According to the agency-run NASA TV, the low-fuel sensor was either malfunctioning or damaged. The launch was already facing the threat of a scrub due to thunderstorms in the area.

The sensor is one of four used to trigger the engine cutout after launch. Although only two are required for normal operation, and the Shuttle can be flown with one, NASA elected to maintain full redundancy. Should more of the sensors fail, the engine might burn out due to lack of fuel, a situation that has not been tested.

The problem was detected during a simulation of an empty tank. When placed in a mode simulating an empty tank, three of the sensors correctly registered that the tank was empty, while the faulty sensor stayed in the "full" state. NASA is currently unsure whether the problem relates to the sensor, the instrumentation circuits reporting the sensor's state, or the simulation circuits.

The problem comes after a separate incident yesterday when a cockpit window cover fell from the Orbiter, damaging thermal protection tiles. A similar problem caused the replacement of the fuel tank in June. NASA described the problem as an "intermittent fault".

The launch, which was scheduled for 3:51 ET (20:51 UTC), would have been the first launch of a shuttle since Columbia ' s February 2003 crash which killed all crew members aboard.

It is still unknown to NASA officials what caused the sensor to become defective. It is also unknown at the moment whether the issue will be fixed on the launch pad, or in the Vehicle Assembly Building - in which it takes close to a full day's time to transport a shuttle between the two areas.

In the interim, the crew of the shuttle will stay at KSC unless there are further delays, in which case the crew might be transported back to JSC in Houston for refresher training.

Italian police launch nationwide anti-terror sweep

July 13, 2005

Italian police have launched a swoop on suspected Islamic extremists across Italy.

About 200 search warrants were issued, with about 175 being detained. It comes a day after the Minister of the Interior Giuseppe Pisanu warned of the potential threat posed by extremists, saying that "terrorism is knocking on Italy's door".

After the 7 July London bombings, a statement was made by an Al Qaida affiliated group claiming responsibility for the London attacks. In it, Denmark and Italy were specifically warned of attacks "in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan."

In other news, a Brescia court jailed two North Africans accused of being part of a terror cell planning attacks in Italy. The court jailed another man on lesser charges. Six other North Africans, suspected of being in the same cell, are being tried in Cremona.

Of the two convicted, Iman Mohamed Rafik of Morocco was jailed for four years and eight months, while Kamel Hamroui received a sentence of three years and four months. They had been arrested in connection with the 16 May 2003 Al Qaida attacks on Casablanca, Morocco which killed 45 people, including 12 suicide bombers.

Sorry
I'm sorry if it seemed like I was policing you. I really was trying not to (hence why I described the problem before I went and deleted it). We just have to be very careful here about copyright violations. But, anyways, I think you'll find Wikinews a nice, upbeat place to contribute. Happy writing! -- 03:37, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
Thanks for marking article that have become dated or are not news -- cleanup is a major task on Wikinews and of course, the community needs all the help it can get. It is important, however, to give articles a chance to develop and a speedy deletion often short-circuits that process. The speedy deletion guidelines are quite restrictive for this reason. Often, listing articles on Deletion requests will draw attention to articles that deserve (for lack of a better word) to be written or fleshed out -- failing that, even though I'm not always in favor of policy for policy's sake, articles which have been abandonded or are not news should be be listed on deletion requests. Again, thank you for contributing and for helping out with the cleanup effort. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you in some way on Wikinews (or anywhere else!). --Chiacomo (talk) 03:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Original reporting
Robert, I appreciate your willingness to listen to my criticism without being insulted.

Original reporting covers all reporting which involves research beyond looking up news articles from other news sources. For example, an e-mail or IRC interview with a news figure (such as any member of the WMF board) would obviously qualify for original reporting. The notes of the interview would need to be made available through the talk page of the article, and you would list yourself as a source for the article.

Other types of research which would qualify as original reporting:
 * Fact checking at the library (list reference citations under sources)
 * Fact checking by phone (list contacts on the talk page)
 * Photo journalism (upload freely-licensed graphics to Commons)
 * Attending meetings (include your notes via the talk page)
 * Performing statistical analysis (include data and/or output and methodology on the talk page)

Really, there are many ways WN contributors can do original reporting to add depth and information to their articles. I hope you try some! - Amgine / talk 22:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Family dog missing after protecting kids from bear

July 13, 2005

A boxer is missing in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, after it chased off a bear to protect three children. According to Bill Rusko, the father of two of the children, the bear crossed Route 30 in Ligonier Township and moved towards the three kids as they played badminton. The year-old dog, Major, then ran around the bear to distract it and bit it in the face. As the bear ran back into the woods, the dog chased it. It remains missing; however, neighbors say they saw it in the area. Major is now safe at his home.

London bombing suspects are all British nationals

July 14, 2005

Profiles of the suspects in the July 7, 2005 bombings in London have been released. They are all British nationals.

The four alleged suicide bombers

 * Shahzad Tanweer, 22, attended Leeds Metropolitan University, where he studied sports science.
 * Hasib Hussain, 18, from Leeds.
 * Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, born in Pakistan, from Dewsbury.
 * Lindsey Germaine: Piccadilly Line train, Jamaican-born resident of Aylesbury.

Shahzad and Hasib were reported missing by their families the previous week.

The suspects were caught on surveillance camera arriving at Kings Cross station at 08:30 BST, each carrying military style back packs, on the day of the blasts. The suspects were then seen going their separate ways twenty minutes before the explosions. It is suspected that the delayed fourth bombing aboard a double-decker bus was intended for travelers on the Northern Line, which had been suspended earlier that morning.

Alleged accomplices

 * Magdi Asdi el-Nashar: renter of a house where explosives were found; an Egyptian-born biochemistry lecturer who has disappeared
 * Ejaz Fiaz (also named as Eliaz Fiaz): possible co-conspirator, in his early thirties, from Beeston, Leeds. Initially thought to have been the suicide bomber on the Piccadilly Line train.
 * Unnamed co-conspirator: an Al Qaeda operative believed to be the bomb-maker and cell organizer, described as a Pakistani in his 30s, who entered Britain through a port some time in June 2005, and left the country on 6 July.

Talk:Shuttle launch called off due to faulty fuel tank sensor

At some point, we need to add a timestamp to our stories as well as a datestamp. There are two headlines, right next to each other today: Without reading through both articles, one is not sure what the current launch status is. While the relative order of the articles gives a clue that the topmost one is the most recent, you're not sure how much more recent it is. Just a thought. - McCart42 (talk) 20:44, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Shuttle launch called off due to faulty fuel tank sensor
 * Shuttle launch on schedule despite launch pad accident
 * People have been messing with the headlines - when a page is moved, it goes to the top of the DPL. I've managed to get the order right, at least, but there should be four or five stories between them. I can't be bothered to fix the mess completely, sorry, this will have to do.

 * I'll edit the stories to make the order clearer. Dan100 (Talk) 20:54, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks Dan100; this does help for now, but eventually the issue should probably have a better fix; I've cross-posted my initial comment to the water cooler if you'd like to comment there. - McCart42 (talk) 22:50, July 13, 2005 (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 Valisk. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Valisk~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)

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 Nk89. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nk89~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 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Married couple scheme issues phony driver's licenses in Virginia

July 14, 2005

A husband and wife team from, Virginia were arrested Wednesday on charges they sold authentic to illegal immigrants and others for between $2,000 and $3,500.

Francisco J. Martinez, 57, a manager of a (DMV) service center in, and his wife Miriam Martinez, 56, a former DMV employee, allegedly sold 50 fraudulent licenses, , since January 2004. They face federal charges of conspiring to commit identification fraud, a possible 15 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.

The break in the case was made when police arrested Daniel Jose Guardia Lopez, 25, on June 13. Lopez, an resident, is an illegal immigrant from Bolivia. He pleaded guilty Monday for his involvement in the fraud, and turned informer after confessing to acting as a gatekeeper that arranged for other illegals to obtain phony ID’s through the Martinez couple.

This is the second incident in as many years where the selling of phony ID’s was uncovered in Virginia. The need for awareness was raised when it was learned that seven of the nineteen hijackers involved in the attacks had Virginia ID’s. U.S. Attorney Paul J. McNulty, speaking on the federal crackdown that has ensued, said “A few years ago, one could fraudulently obtain a driver’s license for about $100.” Obtained legally, they cost $20. He called “reprehensible” the alleged actions of the Martinez couple.

Court documents for the case record that Lopez, who worked as a construction worker, would collect the ID fee from other illegal Bolivians, and keep $500 for himself. He would then steer the person to the service center where Mr. Martinez worked. Martinez, a longtime employee and 4-year supervisor, would often fill out the immigrant’s application, and falsely certify that an ID from another state was surrendered.

Lopez became involved with the Martinez’s when his own driving privileges had been suspended. He met Miriam, who arranged to have a new ID issued to him, through her husband. A working relationship developed between the two, and Miriam would call Lopez and tell him when to appear at the DMV service center with clients who followed behind him in the scheme. The arrest of Lopez was unknown to Miriam when he made a monitored call to her and said he had 2 cousins from Bolivia. This ultimately led to undercover agents, who posed as the cousins, being issued ID’s by Francisco, her husband. During this, the 2 agents paid $6,000 and presented no identification.

Virginia DMV spokeswoman, Pam Goheen, said one of the steps taken to beef up enforcement and auditing efforts at service centers is to have all applications double checked by "document verifiers". Goheen said, "There is a heightened awareness of the importance of a driver's license," and called the arrests "unfortunate and disappointing".

Miriam Martinez was a clerk at a DMV service center for 2 years ending in 1998, and then again briefly in 2003. The earlier incident of ID fraud stemmed out of that location. Both cities, Tysons Corner and Alexandria, are within commuting distance to Washington, D.C.

Australia commits more troops to Afghanistan

July 14, 2005

Australian Prime Minister John Howard has announced that 150 SAS personnel will be serving in Afghanistan within two months, and a further 200 troops will follow them by early next year. According to Mr Howard the decision is the result of a request from the United States and others.

Opposition leader Kim Beazley has said that Labor supported the plan. Mr Beazley has been critical of the government in recent weeks because of its military focus on Iraq rather than Afghanistan, which he says is the source of the terrorist threat.

Beazley offered that it has been "obvious for some time that the job was only partially completed when the commitment was made earlier."

The commitment comes amid a resurgence of the Taliban and an increase in insurgency activities in Afghanistan.

"The progress that has been made in the establishment of a legitimate government in Afghanistan has come under increasing attack and pressure from the Taliban - and some elements of al-Qaeda," Mr Howard said.

The additional troop commitment has been welcomed by the Afghani government. Lutfullah Mashal, Afghanistan's Interior Ministry spokesman, said that assistance with security or reconstruction and development is always welcome, however he expressed disappointment that the deployment would only be for 12 months. Mr Howard has said that he does not like to make open ended commitments, and also stated that extra security would be needed for the APEC summit in 2007.

"At the time of the APEC meeting and in the months leading up to it, the need in this country is for a heightened elite security capacity," he said.

Talk:Study: Socialized Canadian surgery half the U.S. cost with same results

Ack. I had to really resist the urge to edit this, as it does seem somewhat POV to me, but pretty much anything I could add would be POV as well, so I'll let it be. I will say this; it makes sense that the cost of medication would be higher in a US system, considering that there is a higher level of taxation in Canada. I'm not exactly sure how they factored in the cost each Canadian pays in taxes for the subsidized plan. Also, the popular rumor, which I have a tendency to believe, is that waiting lists for surgery are longer in Canada. I'm pretty far from an authority on the subject though, so as I said, I'll stand back from editing this. - McCart42 (talk) 02:55, July 14, 2005 (UTC) One thing I do need to mention is that there were two sisters who were wounded recently in the London bombings who are being sent overseas to a Duke University facility to seek treatment. That's the kind of story I hear a lot of - best treatment being available in the United States. But there is the issue of how expensive it is... would you rather have better healthcare available to those that can afford it, or a fairly decent level of healthcare universally available. It's absolutely not an easy choice. - McCart42 (talk) 02:58, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

COMMENTI don't think there is any evidence that better care is even available in the U.S. regardless of one's wealth. After Christopher Reeve died from an infected bed sore, I searched the internet and could not find one case of such a death in Canada. They use air mattresses and special movement schedules to keep bed sores from beginning in Nursing homes and hospitals. The bottom line is Canadians live longer with lower health care costs according to this study; and maybe its got something to do with the fact an aspirin costs 10 times as much in a U.S. hospital ,the U.S. hospital administrative costs are 3 times as much per 100 beds, and anesthesiologists(for example) earn an average of $600,000.(and hit the greens by 2pm) per year below the border and $200,000 per year above the border. But hey, as P.T. Barnum said; "There's a sucker born every minute." so, suck it up and get used to it; because just as with the pollution that's tripled U.S. child asthma over the past 10 years; the U.S. Congress is not going to do a damn thing about any of it; BECAUSE,IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, 96% of them were reelected last time around and it's not because they do such a good job; it's because our political elective system has become FIXED. We have a choice between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and THAT'S IT ! And remember, their kids don't fight in Iraq and they live in places like Cape Cod and Crawford where the air is clean; so just say baaaah and get ready for the annual fleecing.65.95.151.27 13:29, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * As a U.S. citizen, my point-of-view is once again we take are hard look at it's medical system... kinda scary when you think about Hillary Clinton running for Prez. -Edbrown05 03:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * There are a lot of factors that contribute to Canadians' longevity. I would submit that a lower percentage of obesity is perhaps as responsible for their extra few years as is their healthcare system.  Anyways, the study's results are what they are, and I don't have any criticism of their methods. - McCart42 (talk) 15:01, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * In reponse to the statement that "our political elective system has become FIXED", I'd like to say that I think approval voting is a better system than plurality, and something we should look into if we want to have more choice in elections. It's not a cure-all but it could drastically improve the options available to us. - McCart42 (talk) 16:04, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

NPOV notice
This article does present some interesting facts, but it is written with such a strong point of view it is almost a turnoff. Please revise and remove the NPOV tag. Ajay 24.95.250.249 03:13, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I checked the reporting against the sources and found them accurate before publishing. Are the statistics in dispute? Maybe so. -Edbrown05 03:18, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Without commenting on the article content, I'll point out that (as the dispute tag itself notes), an NPOV objection has to be actionable, i.e. there have to be specific objections to the content. Otherwise the dispute tag can be removed. Saying "This article is POV" is not enough.--Eloquence 03:23, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * NPOV tag removed. Remember that the article is not about the US or Canadian health systems, it is about a study that was done on the US and Canadian health systems. If you think the study was flawed, quote someone who has criticised it. If you have a source that contradicts the study, quote it. If you think the article is POV, be specific about what needs to be changed to make it NPOV. - Borofkin 03:51, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Note: This information is presented for historical purposes only; the hotline is no longer maintained at these numbers

The Wikinews Hotline is a set of telephone numbers that allows people to communicate with Wikinews without the use of a computer.

The current purpose of the Wikinews Hotline is to receive news submissions from callers, and to receive accreditation requests for credentialed Wikinews users.

The Hotline is currently accessible at:

Any call to the hotline is answered by our voicemail system. Any news submissions left on the system gets routed as audio (.WAV) attachment files to a public mailing list, wikinews-hotline. Any accreditation check requests get routed to the wikinews-accreditation mailing list, currently accessible to any Wikinews administrator on request. Those users interested in wikifying the news submitted via this system (or processing accreditation requests) simply listen to the attached files and take action here on Wikinews.
