Iandian Association of Coldwater Fisheries Association
Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating Iandian Association of Coldwater Fisheries Association formed, we need more articles like this. There are a few issues that must be dealt with before it can be published. The most important is that all Wikinews articles must cite sources for the information they contain. We usually cite sources using the tag at the bottom of the article. When you click "edit" there are instructions for using the tag underneath the "Save page" button. If your article contains original reporting, you should read the information at original reporting. You may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing an article.

Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to start or participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Keep at it and try to get this article published, which can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort. - Borofkin 00:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Ex-Indian diplomat's passport revoked

May 16, 2006

The Ministry of External affairs has revoked the passport of Mr. Harish Kumar Dogra who was removed from his post as India's High Commissioner to New Zealand in April. The government has also suspended the passports of his wife and domestic help. India has informed Wellington of the developments and has said that travel documents would be issued to Dogra and his family to enable them to return home. Sources say Dogra had applied for a New Zealand visa which would have enabled him to stay in that country for another 40 days. Dogra had been posted as High Commissioner two years ago and was recalled after charges of human trafficking were made against him. The former High-Commissioner, however, refused to obey the recall order and accused Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran of impropriety, asking the latter to either prove the charges or resign.

Bad
I find this very unkind written:

"What you believe (with your limited knowledge of the situation) is completely irrelevant, International. irid:t 13:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)"

You better be nice as users may see an administrator as an example. And this is not a good one. international 14:02, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Depending upon context, it's perfectly valid to state that one's belief is irrelevant when reporting an event - belief implies speculation, which may be the indication of an editorial, not a news story. In another context, it might be unnecessarily unkind. Karen 14:15, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

patrick moore nuke energy article
hi, can u check Greenpeace founder supports nuclear energy for balance of pov. the article reports on an advocacy piece. it needs to be checked for accurate portrayal of moore's piece, and, i think, balanced by the responses (or prior counterarguments) of the other side of the fence, which it currently does not have. thanks.

re: Your recent talk page comments
I thnk part my answer to your query on 'My Talk' page is answered with the post I made on the Talk:U.S. claims of Iraqi bioweapons labs contradicted in classified Pentagon report filed on 27 May 2003 page.

I've been thinking some dangerous thoughts, and fully agree with what you posted on my talk page. But I can't fail to include with my comments to you a thinking I've held and stated maybe 6 months ago, that my interest with Wikinews is to increase participation. I believe greater numbers of contributors will enhance the project... after that... my thinking becomes vague, as was my post to MrMiscellnious' talk page.

I not for abandaning what isn't broken. And I don't think anything is broken around here. -Edbrown05 21:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * To develop this a little futher...
 * ...typical of me, I take a flip side of the coin evaluation of a topic, or a put yourself in the other person's shoe view... -Edbrown05

Either work Wikinews from the World news side down to the local level, or work it from the Local level up. There seems more interest in working it from the world level down. But I have thinkings that's wrong...

Working it from the local level up means the messy issues too numerous to mention.

That's why my thought are incomplete, because it's messy :) Edbrown05 00:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

 * And that's why I thought to raise the issue of excluding the use of sources to back up news stories submitted by contributors, because I do believe the community will see through a reporter. -Edbrown05 00:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

 * And if the community can't, then the reporter can't publish until the community has confidence the person can. -Edbrown05 00:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

blocks and personal attacks
Ironiridis, just to follow up on the block #2 and Ed's comments. (I thought this might be a better place than the Action Alerts page.) First of all, I completely agree with Amgine's post and while I support the block I would hope that next time you would find someone else to apply it. Secondly, please be aware that personal attacks, while seldom as blatant as in this case, happen quite a bit on wikinews, but the application of blocks tends to focus on individual users. The "lazy" comment is listed in the arbcom case, but that has nothing to do with whether or not to block. Similarly, you chose not block a user for You are a disgraceful editor, which constitute a clear and quite blatant personal attack. There are more, although less blatant attacks on the same talk page, and this happened just two days before this string of attacks by the same user. I believe that Ed's question on disparate application of blocking policy deserves a closer look by you. --vonbergm 02:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ironiridis, I agree that a retroactive block does not make any sense. A simple warning message seems to be the way to go, and imho would probably be more effective than a block, even if it is handed out in a timely fashion, if the message comes with a short explanation and is written by someone the user in question respects. But that is just my personal opinion on how to improve this site. And while I am at it, on the slightly different topic of site disruption, I have a strong feeling that Neutralizer has previously gotten blocked for unconstructive editing behaviour that was far less agressive than the one displayed by MrM on . I admit that I did not shuffle to the block history to verify this, so I might be wrong, but I have a strong feeling that if Neutralizer was behaving like this he would have been blocked. Not that I believe that a block is necessarily the correct response here, but I can't fail but note the absence of comments by people that MrM seems to trust (which could easily have been places on talk pages if that was really the issue here). --vonbergm 03:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I have quite some trouble understanding your argument. First, as mentioned above, I do not understand why blocking policy does not apply to people who are involved in a case at arbcom. Second, Neutralizer also has a case running at arbcom -- the very same case -- but he is getting blocked. Thridly, I do not believe that this very recent behaviour of MrM is listed at the arbcom page at all. (Is that what you ment by "recorded"?) Most of the content was added to the arbcom case a couple of weeks ago -- but I might be simply not up to date since I have not really followed much of the arbcom lately.
 * I agree that the social tone of this wiki has become quite raw and that something should be done. Stricter enforcement might help, we will see... --vonbergm 14:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Attempting This
I just realized that you edited my talk page, and that I have a talk page! Thanks for the welcome, babe. I'm testing the water of leaving comments, so I guess we'll see how this goes! Aramistin 05:45, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Removal of adminship
I am officially requesting immediate removal of Administrator status from my account. irid:t 23:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Please make this request on WN:A --Chiacomo (talk) 23:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I can't. Check this instead. irid:t 23:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Okey dokey. Good enough, I suppose. Sorry to see you giving up your +sysop bit. :( --Chiacomo (talk) 23:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you sure about this? Of all of us you your proablly the calmest, and most rational. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 23:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm sure. What I want to avoid is an instance where my porcelain facade cracks. ;) irid:t 01:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your contributions while in performance of active adminship. You've helped spur interest and improvement in the cite's blocking policies, no small achievement. The steps you took to examine and apply your views has been a positive result for all of us. You really shouldn't step down for reasons of self doubt if that is what is compelling you. You should be proud. -Edbrown05 03:13, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

You did nothing wrong. Confusions and accidents happen. No big deal. (another related conversation) Nyarlathotep 15:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Your request at Requests for permissions has been fulfilled. Kind regards — Dan | talk 19:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * What a joke. I'm not buying it. Neutralizer 20:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I see you still like to attack people even after you have been warned Neutralizer. Jason Safoutin 20:19, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Not an attack; I'm just saying I do not believe it. That's called freedom of thought,Jason. Neutralizer 20:23, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If it were my talk page, I would condsider "what a trollish joke" an attack. Jason Safoutin 20:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, since you feel it's an "attack" word; I will remove it; but you should know it's been used to describe me several times with no consequence to the editors who used it.e.g.; "User may be a wiki-anarchist or troll." Neutralizer 20:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Block revoked
I revoked your requested block after BrianMC & Karen echoed my views on it. Sorry, but admins are not allowed to block themselves, and IMHO this includes asking another admin to do it for you. But, more to the point, *we* simply can't see how you did anything wrong. Of course, you're free to impose some limitations on yourself if you like. But thats a matter between you and yourself. Confusion happens. 'Tis life. Nyarlathotep 13:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Blocking people with whom he was in conflict and also abusing admin privilege with an arrogant 1 month block might be something *we* would consider wrong. Don't worry; Ironiridis will be back; I guarantee it. Neutralizer 20:21, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't worry, I wasn't allowed to block myself, either. Consider yourself released for time served. Karen 20:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Here is, unsolicited, my opinion on your actions as admin.

I believe you have acted in good faith in an effort to move the project forward, that you understand the project goals and work towards them, and that you're just too damn sensitive to criticism.

Drop the leaving stuff and de-admin stuff, I trust you to do a good job as an admin, and have said so elsewhere. Your reluctance to get involved in disputes but end up informed enough to pass opinion is a valuable asset, and you attitude towards disruptive users is what the "admin corps" need, please don't leave the project. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Who worry you may not stay. I already know you will....so let me be the first to say "Welcome Back!" Neutralizer 20:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

What, me worry? Karen 20:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * You're showing your age,Alfred E.:) Neutralizer 21:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

You are all wonderful.
Thanks guys for showing concern. I'm going to serve out my 30 day self-imposed block, because I feel it was justified. And, Neutralizer, I never said I was leaving the project. I simply said that I participated in a wheel war, and as such, I should be blocked for the length of time that is appropriate. One particular admin felt that 30 days was a sufficient block for a wheel-warring admin; I am taking that to heart.

Neutralizer, I'm sad to see that you lied to us about never coming back. Very sad. irid:t 18:27, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
 * You're unblocked already! The wheel war, which you failed to influence one way or the other, has hit the article count.  Serving out a self-imposed ban doesn't help the wiki.  There's by-elections in Thailand tomorrow, and I could probably do with a copyedit or three on the reports of people abstaining, tearing up their ballots, and perhaps even shooting at election officials. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Surely, it doesn't assist the wiki directly, however, in being aware of and considerate of Wikinews policy and practice, I am bettering the wiki indirectly. In consideration and observance of policy from a distance, I can gain a better understanding of why my block was merited.
 * Understand, my block duration was taken directly from the actions of others on this wiki (and myself) in observance of what was felt as an appropriate block length. I gave myself the maximum block length that had been suggestion, to gain a better understanding of what a block of that magnitude does to a community.
 * As I've said before: My insistance is not based on practicality, but on principality. If I am, or another admin is, able to issue a block of 30 days, I should be able to observe a block of 30 days myself to understand its implication. irid:t 21:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, pile-on time: copying some comments from IRC for public consumption and response.

 * You attempted in good faith to de-escalate a conflict. It went on anyway. You are not to blame for this, and that your particular method was not effective is not something to fault you for.

 * It does neither you nor the project good to stick out a self-imposed block simply because you have said you will, when your presence would be of more benefit; as you have already engaged in reflection upon your actions I do not see any good to be gained by your continued absence. And community consensus seems to want you back!

 * (Incidentally: I have voted to ban people from en.wp. Do you think I should ban myself, to understand the implication?) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 21:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

 * What she said. If you think you're disrupting or have disrupted the site by being an admin, be a user for awhile. I urge you to consider just editing articles during your self-imposed time away from those extra buttons (Well, they're links). I know I've done my share of disrupting, hopefully in disrupting some of the ways that seem wrong to me. Karen 21:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm with Karen's suggestion here, don't use the admin buttons if you must in some way do a pennance. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

This might be a little ironic.
Given, and considering, the situation with my block (that is, it's been lifted)... and given and considering my situation with my user rights (that is, I'm no longer an admin)... I feel extremely motivated today. I might get re-blocked for personal attacks. I hope everyone is crossing their fingers.

I'm willingly serving out a self-imposed 30 day block. I initially had User:Ral315 do it for me. Ral, I'm very appreciative for that, thank you. :)

I'm still going to make this note on my talk page, as I would normally be able to if I were blocked.

''I'm still in the process of creating this little doodad of a report... but I'm tired and I have to get up early tomorrow. So I'll save it for next time.''

Ahem, okay. Now that the introduction is over:

Neutralizer is an intentionally disruptive force
Hello, and welcome, to Neutralizer's little sideshow. Let me show you around.

Note, please that I may be completely wrong on any or all of the facts which I cannot explicitly prove. That's the fun of a wiki; you can twist reality into your own little sphere of influence where everyone believes everything you say. What follows is a demonstration that Neutralizer has done exactly that.

His user page
This was the state of Neutralizer's talk page the last time I edited it. This was immediately preceeding the recent wheel war, and therefore immediately preceeding my block.

 * Neutralizer is good at making war, so carefully examine that page. At the top, he placed a giant peace sign, a dramatic sunrise, and quotes by John Lennon and Jesus Christ. Ponder these things while we wander down this exquisite road of lies and insults.
 * Following these great icons of peace, love, and banality, are two "templates" that Neutralizer offers up to the community. Pay careful attention to the tone of urgency in each of them. Surely, these are the tools of champions.
 * The first is a note about avoiding an Anglo-American point of view. I won't go into detail about the capitalization and punctuation issues. I bring this up to point out the incredible irony of this "template". I know, without any prior knowledge of his ethnicity or locale, that Neutralizer is a 16-22 year old white American male. He has never been over-seas, if out of the country at all. He has an incredible idealistic image of himself as being a figure of impartiality. Most of all, he feels he is above the reproach of anyone who (willingly or not) has an American point of view. Remember, this is the same point of view Neutralizer has had his entire life.
 * The second template is especially amusing; it admonishes others (but certainly not himself) about not following Etiquette and Wikipedia:Assume good faith. One might keep in mind that these are policies he has routinely and flagrantly ignored in his communications with others on this site. Finally, he bolds the text "get nice" and wraps up cleanly with an inappropriate usage of a semicolon, followed by "thank you". Why, you're welcome!
 * Some innocent article lists that everyone should have are next on the trolly. This is likely our cleanest section.
 * Now, let's get into the meat of this. Two sections, one with improper wikimarkup, indicate that Neutralizer will be taking an absence. His tone almost indicates that it's unwilling. How unfortunate. He also indicates that he'll probably be gone for at least a month. Oh, how we rejoiced! Rejoice rejoice rejoice, until...
 * ... a personal attack rears its ugly head, not even a week into the vacation we all thought we had. Juicy tidbits from this one include Or are you CHICKEN and just like to hang back in your computer hole and keep truthful news from maybe exposing the murderers and liars you protect. Oh, Neut. You get a C... try to eliminate the run-on sentences next time.
 * Seeing this personal attack, I took appropriate action and blocked Neutralizer. Given his extensive previous history of not giving a flying sexual slang phrase about policy, and seeing his block record, I gave him a 30 day block. Many disagreed, reluctantly, and I relented. 24 hours would be fine for this little stunt. Oh, but what joy those 24 hours would be compared to the next few days.
 * Having blocked Neutralizer, he had full ability to edit his user page, and edit he did. He even made a comment (to which I replied) which he later changed to cast me in a perverse light. Cunning! I'll give him that much. His comments seemed to indicate that some users we censoring his voice on his own user page. I guess he already forgot about the whole etiquette thing.

Comments, if any
Feel free to criticize, impersonate, or otherwise, below this comment. Thanks. irid:t 03:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ooops. I totally forgot about continuing this thing. Heh.
 * I read Neutralizer's sort-of-half-assed rebuttal. It's funny that the only point he can make is about "assumptions", whereas the remainder of my rant has nothing to do with that. I wonder what he has to say about his blatent hipocracy? What about his attacks? Hmm. Should I even mention the fact that his POV (or, the POV of people he "knows") on certain historical events is questionable?
 * I guess I'll continue this when I have some time. Work has been nuts and time has been short. Unfortunately for myself, work always needs to come first. Food before fun, I guess they say. In the mean time, if you'd like to pay to have my car fixed, I really appreciate that. irid:t 20:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Ironiridis, regarding to your comment above to me; "I'm sad to see that you lied..." irid:t 18:27, 22 April 2006 (UTC); I must say that I'm not glad to see that you lied about so many things; the project does not need any more liars. Neutralizer 01:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, it's not helpful to be starting up a personal vendetta on your talk page; that won't get you any votes from the better contributors at your next Rfa. Neutralizer 01:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Neutralizer, firstly, please tell me where I've lied.
 * Secondly, the whole reason why I've been de-admined is because I'm not fond of the situations it put me in. I'd rather be working on articles, and as I'm sure you've noticed, that stopped almost exactly the moment I was admined. Surely it's not helpful to be starting a vendetta on your talk page, as well? irid:t 15:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I see that Neutralizer has failed to come up with anything material. Here's hoping he figures this one out; I'd really like to see where I've lied on this Wiki. irid:t 15:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Have you quit?
We can still use you on articles even if you are no longer an admin. What's going on? Neutralizer 01:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * So you believe me now? Yes, I've been de-admined. I was also blocked for 30 days. I'm completing that 30 day block, which should be finished on or about the 19th, I think. Apologies for not editing your talk page to reply. irid:t 20:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked, personal attack on WN:ALERT read WN:E Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 10:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you, will do. irid:t 10:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Egad. I think I found some justification for my actions within WN:E. Under words of advice:

show the door to trolls, vandals, and wiki-anarchists, who if permitted would waste your time and create a poisonous atmosphere here.

 * I think that settles it. Acting by Wikinews Etiquette, I am (as well as every other user is) entitled to run Neutralizer right out of town. irid:t 10:54, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

you need to establish that neut is a troll, vandal or wiki-anarchist first, and "run him out of town" by a block. keep in mind that trolls ,vandals and wiki-anarchists like nothing better than various editors constantly telling each other to go ... on the wiki while wiki-editors don't particularly. but i guess you've made ur point. btw, i modified your signed edit. how do u like that, you ... :) Doldrums 11:13, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I have advised Neutralizer to be civil, reasonable, and to follow the guidelines he constantly screams about being ignored. Yes, I've told him to take a break. I've even told him to leave Wikinews for the benefit of the project. I do not constantly rail against him in a campaign to have him "banned for life" (as he would put it). Neutralizer is a disruptionist and a wiki-anarchist. He disrupts the wiki on a daily basis. Therefore, he is a troll.
 * btw, you can edit anything you wish, but I'll be reverting that, thank you. irid:t 12:29, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Why?
Why are you doing this? Some time ago you asked why I opposed your RFA. You get an answer now. I dont like you hate against Neutralizer, wasnt sure think you handle it rationally. Obviously Brian opend Pandoras Box here but that dont give you the clearens to mess tings upp even bigger. Dont you understand what you are doing. I think you should stay away until you calm down, and that may be longer time than you initially thought. international 11:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I am no longer an admin. I don't have the responsibilities of an admin as of right now. I'd like to see you pull up anything that I've done which was irresponsible while I was an admin.
 * You don't like that I don't like Neutralizer? Tough, man. Sorry. I don't "hate" him, hate is too strong of a word for an individual that is hardly worth my frustration. I don't like that you don't like me.
 * Brian opened no Pandora's Box. Neutralizer has antagonized and irritated and aggravated and finally violated someone enough times to bring them to the brink. International, I have no reason not to believe you are a sockpuppet. irid:t 12:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Good that you showed your real self, sad to see it. Some here, you included, dont understand that Neutralizer is not a propagandamashin as you wrote. He has been under attack by mostly mrm as long as I been here and tried to npow many articles with US consevative POV. I guess it taken some toll on him and he screwed it but he is really important here on Wikinews. You do a big mistake to go on personal vendetta against Neutralizer. Or maybe you cant understand that comman Usians wordview is strongly pov in wikienviroment. Dragon and mrm is totaly lost in this to cracy US worldview. I still hope you can think of Wikinews NPOV policy as very diferent than common accepted values in US. It is OK to write articles that is really harsh on US doings and against other states that deserve it. It is the duty for anyone who call him/herself a reporter or journalist. It is also a responability not to forward spinn, here on Wikinews mostly the US Gov spinn, which obviously many Usians is so used to that they see as natural. I dont think you and many US people cant imagine how people around the world despise curent US. Even I am have been horified about som expresions of US hate here and there in Europe and that is nothing about what I heard from South America and otherplaces. So what I say is that If you and some other wikinewsies clean out a tendence of US critical articles by throwing out Neutralizer it is nothing less than a part US war of hegemony. I only show my indignation in this way. But more an more of your taxdollar is going to be spend on protection from people who like to nuke US, sometime they might find a way to do it and it may spill over to where I live. And you are not helpfull to find a better solution by silencing Neutralizer. Journalism is more important than ever. Have a nice day. international 17:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * This is exactly what I was talking about with Neutralizer. You assume I have this pro-US political view when in fact I'm extremely irratated and angry with the current state of our government. I voted against Bush and against the war. I wasn't for it even when it was popular. And yet, I insist on articles being neutral, not anti US. You suggest that I am trying to erase the evils that the United States have recently committed, but what you don't understand is that there are many more who create political rumors and falacies and take certain facts and stretch them far out of proportion... for what? The fact that Bush was a member of the Skull and Bones matters to nobody except conspiracy theorists. But still they shout it from every hilltop as if they were proclaiming the discovery of gravity.
 * You are extremely misguided, International. I'm sorry, but you don't have the faintest clue of what a neutral point of view is. As much as you accuse me of being biased for being inside of the United States, I could accuse you of being biased for being outside of the United States. There is no solid ground here except in personal integrity and facts, of which you seem to have provided none in this discussion so far.
 * I think it's ironic that you say I've "showed" my "real self". In reality, I've always been truthful about my personal feelings and opinions. Read my user page. I've never once lied on this wiki, not once. I have always been clear about my political stance. However, I do not let it pollute Wikinews as if it were my personal blog. This is in stark contrast to Neutralizer, who is using his user page for the purpose of political propoganda.
 * My real self, eh? Perhaps you've just not been paying attention. irid:t 19:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you and some others have an idea that npuv is the same as be kind about the involved in an article and neutral. An article can be very 'antiUSA' and npov. 'AntiUS, is a pov in the eyes of a person with sympaties for US due to patriotism if he is a patriotic USian. To make an article about pictures taken from guantanamo showing lots of shit and dont show them just because that would be antiUS is fecking wrong. Of cause it would be antiUS in some persons eyes. Now these persons here on Wikinews puched their pov and blocked the display of these. In the name of missunderstod (?) npov. Neutrality and kindnes is not same as npov. And journalism is not kind. The pen is sharp and it could be put deep in the most painfull places If reporting bad things. If USians get so fecking angry about draging US in the dirt for what US actually doing you might thing how angry the victims and their relatives is about what actually happen! And to even suggest neutrality in an article accusing US for torture is really effective povpushing. I accuse you to taking side of US povpushers. To bring up Neutralizers conspiracy theorists in this, as if that should be political propaganda, is petty. Nowdays he shows signs of 'Wikiburnout' which is bloody understandable. I can give you political propaganda, whish I se as a good thing, but i guess my political pov dont fit in the 2 biggest US political partys (Not Naders either so say 3 biggest). And I leave that outside Wikinews. And you call me missguided. I dont know what to call you, but living in US dont generally make one to a rocketscientist but obviously learn one to talk about rockets with loud voice. international 23:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I realise English is not your first language, but I'm having a hard time understanding what point you're trying to make. Are you implying I was trying to suppress the pictures in USA leaving Abu Ghraib? Maybe you should check out the position I held before I found out that the pictures violated the Geneva Convention.
 * International, remember, "Neutral Point Of View" means that we cannot include anything except facts, and these facts must be balanced between major viewpoints. This does not mean supressing information, nor does it mean including false information. Thus, yes, an article can be critical of the United States, but only in facts. Your assertion that an article can be 'very antiUSA' seems to imply that an article can have an opinion, which it cannot. This is why I'm saying that you don't understand what NPOV means here. Just because many, many people have a negative view of the United States (including myself!!), does not mean that we are allowed to create articles with a particular, non-neutral point of view. We must be balanced and fair.
 * As such, it is not fair for you to assert (just as an example) that Bush hates Iraqis, so that's why they're being tortured. This has no factual source, and is not provable with facts. It is also not fair to say that Bush is indirectly responsible for the torture, because he started the war and the Iraqis wouldn't be tortured if there hadn't been a war. There is no way to prove that with facts, either. Thus, blaming President Bush for the Iraqi torture is implausible and not appropriate for an article.
 * Remember, that's just an example, not something I'm claiming you've done. These things, while they seem reasonable on the surface, are extremely poor ideas to include in an NPOV article.
 * Likewise, Neutralizer has included content in Wikinews pages (not neccessarily articles, he does excersize that restraint) that would make similar suggestions. His push for items critical of the United States and President Bush often fall within this realm; an excellent example being the graphic that was on his user page.
 * When he adds this content to Wikinews, it pollutes the wiki with Anti-US messages. While specifically only articles are subject to NPOV, his editing does tend to introduce subtle changes that reflect his obvious viewpoint.
 * What is key here is the fact that his viewpoint begins to leak into his edits on real, NPOV articles, which is obviously what we're trying to avoid. What springs immediately to mind is his insistance on inclusion of Bush's membership in the Skull and Bones "secret" society. The introduction, while factual, generates a slant on the article that tilts it far far away from a Neutral viewpoint.
 * The point I'm trying to make is that, yes, I do understand NPOV, and I don't think you get the whole picture. That said, I really do appreciate every edit you've made on Wikinews as a contribution of your time and effort, and I recognize that the edits you have made were all in good faith as far as I can tell. I haven't made good faith edits recently, because I've been so angry with Neutralizer that it's relatively blinded me to justifiable restraint.
 * I will make a bigger effort to hold my toungue in the future. Keep in mind, however, that as Neutralizer continues to pressure and aggrivate the people on this Wiki, including myself... I will find restraint particularly difficult. irid:t 16:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No your understaning of English is correct, actually better than correct (I wrote guantanamo). I do not implying you was trying to suppress the pictures in USA leaving Abu Ghraib. It was a example, actually many articles in mind, to make you understand someting. Btw on same talkpage you refer to there is a discusion you obviusly missed Geneva Convention doesn't Apply. After more reading I now see that this was the talkpage that made me qustion your position when you defended Dragons povpushing (though well camoflaged to ignoranse). Dislike Neutralizer, defend Dragon... I really believd you was a sockpuppet/meatpuppet for some time. And Dragon have problems with some understanding here as about NPOV generally, still today.
 * Understand NPOV as 'AntiUS' is a pov term. If someone think an article is 'antiUS' its an opinion/view depending on that persons eventually US patriotism wich dont have to mean article is pov. 'AntiUS' is not same as 'antiUS pov in article' whish is an opinion in an article, which is bad in an article. If facts make an article seems 'antUS' in someons eyes there is nothing nessesary wrong with the article (if it dosnt really express pov). Someons worldview goes against the facts. Its someons own problem if not accepting facts.
 * Fact: US is accused of abuse prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
 * Fact: Pictures from Abu Ghraib showing this is leaked.
 * More or less a fact: US use torture in Abu Grhaib.
 * NPOV: to have statement that claim US use torture
 * NPOV: to have US denying torture.
 * POV: to make it neutral. (show Saddams torturevictims or show pictures of the US guards goldfish and stampcollection?)
 * POV: to make it kind to US and dont show pictures. (censoring)
 * To make a article about this shit will be 'antiUS' in many peoples eyes even if NPOV. To make it more neutral and kinder to those people is povpushing. Thats what happend and you are angry about Neutralizers small conspiratory theories! Dragons very loudvoiced povpushing made working with articeles to a povhell. And you defend him and seems to be his buddy. And we must not be "balanced and fair", leave that to FOX News and other USGov friendly so called News. And yes Neutralizer is blogging little on his userpage and thats not serious. Not mush more than expressing his opinion. Your indignation about it is irrational, userpages has no exposure outside itself. And the mentiond grafic, your indignation here is redicilous to the extent I think Dragon:s and mrm:s patriotic cracyness really affected you. You should not listen or talk with them if you are so easy to manipulate. And you continue to state "key here is the fact that his viewpoint begins to leak into his edits on real, NPOV articles". Yes, many do that sometimes. The problem is that some already mentiond here have done it for months, and you dont react to that in proportion to your reactions to Neutralizer. There is words for that behavour. As I said before Nutralizer show signs of burnout and should take it easy. He have seen and reacted to things you are obviously blind to and inderect supports by supporting Dragon. Not to mention your still wrong understanding of NPOV after my try to explain how it work when facts inself can be interpretated 'antiUS' by US patriots, some who exist here on Wikinews.
 * I conclud that you dont show to understand NPOV in these cases discused above. Though I would appreciate if you calm down on Neutralizer and dont attack him or overreact on him in this eviroment of much worser povpushings. international 19:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The fact of the matter is that then Geneva convention did apply on those images. The captives had a right to their privacy. We abide by international law here. Your example falls flat on its face, I'm sorry. Can we move on? irid:t 20:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, for the sake of argument (no pun intended), yes, I haven't been a particularly effective contributer recently. I made one edit to a real article. This is mostly due to my impromptu attack on Neutralizer taking up most of my motivation to work on this site. I'm trying to come up with reasons to simply work on JournoWiki instead of Wikinews and simply transport finished or semi-finished articles from there to here, where Neutralizer can add whatever POV he wishes.
 * The idea that you thought I was a sock/meatpuppet is not suprising. You seem to be extremly short-sighted and unable to comprehend a world-view other than your own. Neutralizer agrees with your world-view, or at least panders to it. This is evidenced by the lack of any real disagreement between Neutralizer and yourself, despite enormous disagreement with virtually every other active editor (with some notable and important exceptions!) on Wikinews. Claiming that I seemed to be a meatpuppet because I agreed with someone (and with whom I subsequently disagreed vehemotly) is akin to claiming you are likewise a meatpuppet of Neutralizer's.
 * I'm really tired of trying to discuss this with you, because you don't type in English particularly well and it takes me a great deal of time to pick apart and understand what you're trying to say. This isn't a personal attack, it's simply a statement of my frustration. As I said above: Can we move on? irid:t 20:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, you have real big problems understanding my English. international 20:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

You are blocked
You are blocked for two hours for personal attacks against Neutralizer, which I believe were made in a premeditated manner and possibly to make a point. If you dispute this block, I'm available in IRC, via [mailto:amgine@saewyc.net e-mail], or on my user page after your block has expired. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 14:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * More or less premeditated, yeah. Made a point, too. I do apologize for the site disruption aspect. :) irid:t 14:37, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I have extended the block to the same 24 hour period that was given to Brianmc. I agree in part that Wikinews should be uncensored but do not believe that it is appropriate for such language on the site. To allow this only harms the credibility of the site - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 23:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I more or less encouraged a more hefty block. Even 24 hours seems a little slim. Ah well. irid:t 13:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ironiridis... if you've finished making your point can you please remove the section from WN:ALERT? If you think that there is a problem that still needs to be discussed, I encourage you to raise it on the water cooler. Thanks... - Borofkin 04:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I would, but I am blocked (for real) and cannot edit that page. Feel free to remove it yourself; I would if I could. irid:t 13:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Supporting Cartman02au
Will someone vote on my behalf in support of User:Cartman02au? I'd really appreciate it. irid:t 21:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Cartman02au took care of this. Thanks man. irid:t 16:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Disappointed
Ironiridis, I am quite disappointed by some of your edits that have caught people's attention. The points of offense in decreasing order of offensiveness:
 * 1) Your use of possessive pronoun in the last sentence of this edit. This is absolutely not acceptable
 * 2) The quotation marks on the last statement of this edit make clear that you are well aware of the history of this quote. This statement only serves to offend and escalate.
 * 3) You are wrong arguing that Brian's and your use of offensive language is covered by wikinews' non-censorship policy. I agree that there should be no problem with profanity when appropriate and necessary, but your and Brian's use is offensive and directed to a user, which fails to comply with wikinews ettiquette.

If you are unable to make constructive comments, don't make any. If you have a problem with individual users, go through the dispute system instead of making offensive and disrespectful comments. I don't understand why I need to tell you this as I am sure you are well aware of the proper procedures. I welcome your return to wikinews. How about writing some articles? --vonbergm 01:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You don't "need" to tell me anything, I remind you. The usage of a possessive pronoun and the intentional quotation of Neutralizer is an intentional effect. Your final point of censorship policy is that my argument is wrong; on the contrary, I never said I was in compliance with WN:E. In fact, I immediately put myself on WN:ALERT for violation of WN:E because of my knowledge of it. We don't disagree there.
 * I've been quite unhappy with the situation with Neutralizer, and I am finally fed up with how he is tollerated (albiet with the occasional block). 9 months of site disruption is grounds for a ban. 9 months of refusal to follow policy is grounds for a ban. 9 months of inability to collaborate at the very least requires a stern warning that a wiki follows a central core of understanding; that all users must be willing to collaborate or they are simply a wrench in the gears of the project.
 * I realise you are dissapointed in me. I fear that it doesn't matter; that guerilla war tactics will go unnoticed instead of eliminated by way of dicipline and mediation.
 * Why hasn't Neutralizer persued mediation with me? Why does he only seek administrative action? This is what I'm talking about. Doesn't anyone notice? irid:t 16:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * And what constructive element do you see in that "intentional effect"? Also, you argued that Brian was right to abuse Neutralizer based on no-censorship policy, and I still object. And if you wish to add that it was inconsistent in itself - so be it. Right now your edits over the last weeks have the effect to put you on the same level that you critisize in Neutralizer. No effort to collaborate on writing news -- the only collaboration that I see from you is aimed at provoking Neutralier. You have failed to initiate the dispute resulution procedures with Neutralizer but instead chose to resort to abusive language to vent whatever issues you have with him. I can't believe that now you question why Neutralizer has not persued mediation with you. Of course this is a valid question (assuming you were actually editing aticles and ran into problems with Neutralizer), but you are not in any position to ask it! --vonbergm 18:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Just a quick reminder
There seems to be concerns about you accusing International of possibly being a sock puppet. I can understand your frustration with certain users on this site at the moment and would like to urge you to consider some form of dispute resolution. If you require mediation, I would be prepared to assist if needs be. Failing that, the arbitration committee is available - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 04:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I would, but I have no current dispute with Neutralizer other than the behavior that several other DRs have failed to resolve. Just ask the people who've tried. I don't intend on raising an ArbCom case until I've gone through DR completely. irid:t 16:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Citing MrM as someone who "has tried" DR seems a little out of place, especially in response to a suggestion by Cartman02au. --vonbergm 18:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * He (MrM) has tried. I have tried. Everyone has tried. Neutralizer refuses to collaborate and if he is not refusing, then he is not trying. Jason Safoutin 18:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You are joking, you really do I hope? international 19:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Let's not devolve into a war here, please. MrM has tried dispute resolution with Neutralizer. Others have also tried to have dispute resolutions with MrM. I have yet to see it be really successful. The fact of the matter is that people have tried. It doesn't work. Still, I have tried once with Neutralizer, and he hasn't yet at all with me. (other than pouring me some tea, which was in good spirit, but hardly DR) irid:t 20:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Where are you??
Where are you? Are you still around or did you leave us? Let me know. hope to see you soon :-/ Jason Safoutin 01:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Bi-directional Censorship from the Great Firewall of China

May 16, 2006 On May 12 Radio Free Asia reported some people outside China will get a "server connection has been reset" error message when they are trying to search some political keywords on Baidupedia. However, the Internet censorship is not just on Baidupedia because it's due to the keyword filtering technology on the Great Firewall of China.

One of the first people to find this filtering technology was Shi-Min Fang, a biochemist with a stance against ethical lapses in China. Fang, whose site "新語絲" has been blocked by the PRC government for years, had found that his Chinese name cannot be searched since last August if someone outside China uses an Internet search engine that is based in China. He posted a message to his own forum. A forum visitor gave him a method to verify what he found. By randomly choosing a website URL that is in China and adding banned keywords to that URL, the server connection will be reset without displaying the normal "page does not exist" error message. Take http://www.163.com/六四 for example, if you use that URL to link to the site when you are outside China, you will find the server connection will be reset.

A Chinese Wikinews reporter, Shi Zhao, also performed this test. He chose some political keywords such as "民主" (Democracy), "江泽民" (Jiang Zemin), "法轮功" (Falun Gong) and asked people to search on Google, Baidu and Sogou (a Chinese search engine developed by Sohu), and some Wikipedians from China, Taiwan and United States joined the test.

From the test, Chinese tester Shi Zhao found there is no problem to search such political keywords on Chinese search engines other than Google. And Taiwanese testers H.T. Chien, Alex S.H. Lin and American tester roc found they will get the "server connection has been reset" error message when they tried to search those political keywords on Chinese search engines other than Google.

From the test the testers believe that the keyword filtering technology on the Great Firewall of China is bi-directional. People outside China cannot visit any Chinese websites that have political keywords, and people in China cannot visit any websites outside China that has political keywords.

Baidupeida that went online this April is a service that provided by the Chinese Internet search company, Baidu, and its form is very similar to Wikipedia, which is blocked by the PRC government since last year. It would also allow users to join the editing on Baidupedia.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali leaves Dutch Parliament

May 16, 2006

Dutch Member of Parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali has announced she will leave parliament, after Minister of Immigration and Integration Rita Verdonk announced that Hirsi Ali never obtained Dutch citizenship.

In a press conference an emotional Ayaan Hirsi Ali announced that she will leave parliament and move to the United States to work with the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute in September after reaching a deal with US authorities concerning her security. Originally she was to have moved to the USA in May of 2007. In national paliament she will be replaced by Amsterdam government member Laetitia Griffith starting June 1.

The direct reason for Hirsi Ali's departure, is that Minister for Immigration and Integration and fellow party-member, Rita Verdonk has announced that Hirsi Ali never obtained Dutch citizenship, because she lied in her application for refugee status in the Netherlands. She claimed to be a refugee directly from war-torn Somalia and to have only narrowly escaped the threat of forced marriage. In fact, she had held a refugee status in Kenya at the time. She changed her name and date of birth.

These facts, which Hirsi Ali previously divulged, were reported last Thursday (11 May 2006) by the Dutch television program "Zembla". She had already informed the public of these aspects of the story of her immigration to the Netherlands as early as September 2002 in an interview in the political magazine HP/De Tijd.

Media speculations arose that she could lose her Dutch Citizenship because of this 'identity fraud', rendering her ineligible for Parliament. In a first reaction Minister Rita Verdonk said she would not look into the matter, but after Member of Parliament Hilbrand Nawijn insisted, she declared that she would investigate Hirsi Ali's naturalisation process. This investigation took three days. The findings were that Hirsi Ali never received Dutch citizenship after all, because she lied about her name and date of birth. She pretended to be Ayaan Hirsi Ali, born in 1967, but official records say Ayaan Hirsi Magan, born in 1969. Therefore Verdonk's position was that Hirsi Ali never received Dutch citizenship. After accusation by Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende she works too much on her own and lacks team spirit she said to have no doubt Ayaan will be returned citizenship of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

On May 16, Hirsi Ali resigned from Parliament after admitting lying on her asylum application. Hirsi Ali has announced that she will move to the United States in September 2006. There she will work on finishing her book Shortcut to Enlightenment and working for the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute. In a reaction, former VVD-leader Hans Wiegel stated that her departure "would not be a loss to the VVD and not be a loss to the Tweede Kamer". Wiegel said that Hirsi Ali was a brave woman, but that her points of view were polarizing. Former parliamentary leader of the VVD, Jozias van Aartsen, was more positive about Hirsi Ali, saying that it is "painful for Dutch society and politics that she is leaving the Tweede Kamer".

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been a member of parliament for the liberal Dutch People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and is known for her controversial positions on the relationship between women and islam.

The events surrounding Ayaan Hirsi Ali has had considerable effects on Dutch politics:
 * European Commissioner Neelie Kroes withdraws her support for Rita Verdonk in the race of presidency of their party in favour of Mark Rutte.
 * Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende stated that the VVD will possibly no longer be part of a next administration.

Department of Defense releases 9/11 video of plane hitting Pentagon

May 17, 2006 The United States Department of Defense (DOD) is releasing surveillance video showing American Airlines flight 77 hitting the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The video was taken from a Pentagon Security camera.

On December 15, 2004, a legal advocacy group called Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the DOD in an attempt to have the video released through the Freedom of Information Act.

"We fought hard to obtain this video because we felt that it was very important to complete the public record with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11," said Judicial Watch President, Tom Fitton.

"Finally, we hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories involving American Airlines Flight 77. As always, our prayers remain with all those who suffered as a result of those murderous attacks," added Fitton.

According to the advocacy group, U.S. officials say they did not release the video earlier because it was part of the investigation into convicted plotter for al-Qaeda, Zacarias Moussaoui.

"Now that the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui is over, we are able to complete your request and provide the video," said chief of the Department of Defense, Office of Freedom of Information, William Kammer.

However; some are not sure what is shown on the video.

Michael Berger, spokesman for 911Truth.org said "In fact, I thought that was underwhelming." and "It doesn't clarify anything — I don't see a plane in that image. We would like to know what happened. Four-and-a-half years later, we still don't have definitive proof that a plane hit that building."

911Truth.org received five times the average visits to their website after the video's release on Tuesday. Mr. Berger's group is hosting a conference June 2 in Chicago where skeptics of the official explanation of 9/11 plan to work out a variety of scenarios that suggest the U.S. government's complicity in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

Controversy over translation of Norwegian national anthem

May 21, 2006

A suggestion to translate the national anthem of Norway into Urdu is causing controversy. The Progress Party opposes the idea, saying that people who cannot understand Norwegian could just hum with the Norwegian citizens. Norway celebrated Syttende Mai, its Constitution Day on May 17 with traditional children's parades last week. The song is usually sung on this occasion.

The editor of Utrop, a newspaper for the minorities in Norway, suggested the translation of the national anthem in an editorial in the national paper Vårt Land. Such a translation, he said, would allow immigrants of Pakistani origin to show their love for Norway by singing the Norwegian national anthem. The title of the national anthem is after all "Ja vi elsker (dette landet)" which translates as "Yes, we love (this country)."

"This is integration in reverse," said Per-Willy Amundsen, the Progress Party spokesman on issues dealing with immigration. According to him, "the best gift that the immigrants could give to Norway would be learning the language of their new homeland."

Settlement returns billions to California schools funding

May 16, 2006

The state's teachers and schools chief Jack O'Connell have settled their lawsuit against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and, as a result, billions of dollars in school funding O’Connell and the teachers claimed the governor misappropriated during the state’s fiscal crisis will be returned to the schools.

"The restoration of funding to California school districts is very positive news,” New Haven schools Superintendent Pat Jaurequi told the James Logan Courier.

"This is a day for celebration in schools throughout California. When this lawsuit was filed, I promised that I would fight up and down the state until the funding owed to our schools was restored," O'Connell, the state superintendent of Public Instruction, said in a statement last week. "I also promised I would give the Governor credit for doing the right thing if he restored this critical funding. Today, I want to thank Governor Schwarzenegger for working with the education community to invest wisely in our schools — the best investment we can make in California’s future."

"This is a good thing for our schools and community colleges throughout California," said Barbara E. Kerr, president of the California Teachers Association, one of the parties to the lawsuit. “Having all the money owed to our schools under Proposition 98 and the governor’s agreement of 2004 restored to our students is the news we’ve been waiting for.

In a statement regarding the settlement, Schwarzenegger said, "I am pleased to announce a resolution that will put the dispute regarding Proposition 98 funding behind us and allow us to invest an additional $3 billion in schools in a way that best helps our students.”

Proposition 98 is an amendment to the state Constitution, passed in 1988, that established a minimum funding level or guarantee for K-12 education and community colleges. O’Connell and the California Teachers Association sued Schwarzenegger and the director for the California Department of Finance last summer after when they diverted billions of dollars earmarked for the schools under Prop. 98 to overcome budget deficits that were crippling California, violating an agreement made with educators the previous year.

The agreement restores funding Proposition 98 funding that was due, but not provided in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 fiscal years. The Governor’s May Budget Revision will include $2 billion and language that provides an additional $3 billion to be paid in installments between fiscal year 2006-07 and fiscal year 2013-14, or until paid in full.

In addition to the settlement funds, Schwarzenegger’s “May Budget Revision,” announced last week, also directs billions more of the state’s money to schools. Schwarzenegger said bulging state coffers, filled by unexpected tax revenues, allowed him to budget an extra 8.1 billion for schools, for a total of $55.1 billion-an over 17% overall funding increase from 2004-2005.

The settlement and the new budget figures “will allow us to make good on the debts to schools created through the recent lean years and to make important new investments in public education,” said O’Connell.

Schwarzenegger had some ideas about how the money should be spent. "For K-12 schools, I propose that we concentrate these funds to improve instruction in schools with low academic achievement. We should direct the funds to the classroom level for such things as lowering class size, attracting and supporting quality school leadership and fully credentialed and experienced teachers, supporting greater involvement of parents, providing more counselors in high schools, and increasing quality professional development, instructional materials, improved instruction and accountability.” he said.

Although pleased by the outcome of the lawsuit, Jaurequi was cautious about predicting its effect in New Haven “ It is significant to note that two-thirds of the new funding is one-time in nature and is not an ongoing revenue stream,” she said.

"Although the budget process is far from over and we will likely differ on some of his budget priorities, I am happy to thank Governor Schwarzenegger for working with the education community to invest in public education,” said O’Connell, who’s been embroiled in controversy and litigation over the California High School Exit Exam in recent weeks.

"I am particularly pleased to see that the Governor has increased funding to expand remediation programs for students who are struggling to pass the California High School Exit Exam, and to pay for new summer and evening administrations of the Exam,” said O’Connell, who wrote the law requiring the exam when he was a state legislator in 1998, “ I also applaud the increase in funding to expand and improve student nutrition programs giving more students the opportunity to make healthier food choices on campus. In addition, I am very happy to see additional funding for high school counselors. Our state currently has the lowest ratio of counselors to students in the nation. This is a statistic we need to improve upon".

 * I have no problem with it as a news story. It could use a few different POV's, though. - Borofkin 00:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I created that news for Polish Wikinews (see interwiki links in news story) and there nobody have problems with this news. I believe that this news is in some way important, because it describes new HTML saving process by MS Word, which was to present day, well, not too good. Hołek ҉ 16:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

7.4 magnitude hits Pacific near New Zealand

May 16, 2006 Yesterday, at 10:39 p.m. UTC, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocked the Pacific Ocean about 180 miles southwest of Raoul Island, a member of the Kermadec Islands in New Zealand. Witnesses disagreed on the length of the earthquake, which was felt as far south as Christchurch, New Zealand, although they agreed the quake lasted from 30 seconds to a minute. Ever since the volcano eruption on Raoul Island on March 18, the islands have been experiencing about 30 earthquakes a day. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center predicted that the earthquake might create a small tsunami with a radius of about 60 miles. There have been no reported injuries or deaths.

The tsunami occurred a couple of hours before a previously-scheduled test of a tsunami warning system. The test had 29 countries participating.

"It is a big earthquake, but the depth would limit any damage," Seismologist Ken Gledhill says.

Spanish Socialist Workers' Party proposes human rights bill for great apes

May 16, 2006

Spain’s Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE), the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, and the Confederación de Los Verdes, the Green Party, proposed a bill to grant some human rights to all great apes (Hominidae), which include humans, bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans. Humanity shares about 97% of its genome with the great apes.

The proposal was submitted by Francisco Garrido, a delegate of the Confederación de Los Verdes, and is inspired by the Declaration on Great Apes published by the Great Ape Project. Founded in 1993, the Great Ape Project (GAP), calls for an extension of moral egalitarianism to encompass all great apes. The Declaration on Great Apes demands the right to live, the protection of individual liberty and the prohibition of torture for all great apes.

The proposal does not assign the lesser apes gibbons (Hylobates), siamangs (Symphalangus) or the new world anthropoids (Platyrrhines) similar rights. The latter include the species of the capuchin monkeys (Cebinae), a tool using species that possibly demonstrates a degree of self-awareness in the mirror test experiment.

The proposal is scheduled to be discussed in parliament at the end of May. After New Zealand, Spain would be the second country to grant special rights to apes.

Reactions to the proposal
The archbishop of Pamplona and Tudela, Fernando Sebastián, opposed the proposal as ridiculous, given the fact that monkeys would be granted more rights than unborn human embryos.

The president of the Spanish section of Amnesty International, Delia Register, expressed surprise at the idea to grant human rights to great apes when, at the present time, they aren't granted to all human beings.
