User talk:Sontaran~enwikinews

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 Sontaran. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sontaran~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 23:32, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Wikinews interviews Brittany Phelps, administrator of the United States Pirate Party/Comments from feedback form - "Seemed quite a bit less profes..."/reply (3)

Thanks for the tip. This was the first real interview I've done as administrator, so it's going to take a bit to get used to and refine. That said, I do try and not be /quite/ as formal as other politicians, at least for the moment. In my language, I want to be as widely accessible and transparent as possible--I have no interest in mincing words or trying to hide a solid statement to stand on, as do many politicians. I very much believe that myself and the Pirate Party can be appealing to a wide variety of voters without having to resort to such methods.

But again, it's a work in progress, so that may change in time. Thanks again for the tip, though.

Copyright violation
Your addition to "Plane crash in Pakistani capital kills 152" - was a copy and paste from another website. Unfortunately, Wikinews can't accept that - everything you submit to our site has to be your own work, and therefore that article has been deleted. You may wish to consider working on the story and resubmitting it when it is your original work. Please don't let this put you off the site, and continue contributing! InfantGorilla (talk) 10:37, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

New information
Where did you get the information you posted at Plane crash in Pakistani capital kills 152?

In our aim for accurate news, our volunteer reviewers need to see exactly where you got the information, such as a link to a news report, or detailed reporter's notes.

I have reverted your change, but please read Cite sources and consider offering a fully verifiable report. Alternatively, you can have your say about the event at Comments:Plane crash in Pakistani capital kills 152

Second copyright infringement and block warning
Sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

A better way to get an article on an important subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Expect a further infringement to result in your access to edit Wikinews being blocked.

--InfantGorilla (talk) 11:13, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Karachi load shedding
The most recent source I could see on search engines was two weeks ago, so I deleted your single sentence article.

In future, when you post stories or tips, please post two sources as it makes it easier for fellow contributors to collaborate and to assess the newsworthiness of the story.

Taleban launches attack on Afghan city; several dead

May 5, 2010 At least eight suicide bombers with the Taleban attacked, a city in southwestern Afghanistan, earlier today, killing at least four people, according to officials.

Reports say the rebels blew themselves up near the governor's compound. Witnesses also reported gun battles between rebels and officials in the area. The Taleban contacted the Reuters news service, confirming that they were responsible for the attack. Spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi said: "We sent six suicide bombers and three other attackers. They have attacked several government buildings, including the governor's office."

Afghanistan's interior ministry said the victims consisted of a provincial council minister, a civilian, and two policemen. Police say eleven others were injured as well.

"They came in a car packed with explosives. They tried to attack the building housing the provincial council and the court," said the governor of the Nimroz province, Ghulam Dastagir Azad, adding that "police engaged with the attackers in five or six locations, including the provincial council and provincial court". He said there were at least seven explosions.

Athens bank fire kills three as Greece goes on strike

May 6, 2010 Three people have died after a fire in an Athens bank as protesters fill the streets to demonstrate against austerity measures aimed to save Greece from its massive debts. Many of the nations services were shut down yesterday in a sweeping 24-hour strike, which follows on from earlier strikes and protests Monday.

Protesters reportedly smashed the windows of a building, and proceeded to hurl bombs containing petrol into the building. Three people, two men and a pregnant women, died of asphyxiation in the resulting fire, and around twenty people were rescued from the wreckage by firefighters. Police in Athens were placed on high alert in response to the attacks.

Up to 100,000 people were reported to have taken part in the demonstrations, the largest since Greece's economic crisis began last year. In addition to the bank bombings, protesters reportedly set fire to other buildings, cars and bins, as well as setting up barricades in the streets. Protesters also attempted to storm police surrounding the Greek parliament, using marble broken from buildings as weapons.

Police responded by using tear gas and water cannons against protesters; a journalist for Al Jazeera in Athens said that "[i]t looked like a pitched battle for quite a while. An awful lot of tear gas used by the police, they would say no doubt to protect the parliament building and perhaps the people in it."

The protests occurred during a nationwide strike protesting the austerity measure enacted by the government. The strike has ended all public transportation in the country, as well as services provided by public services like schools, hospitals, and government offices.

The Greek government has been attempting to get funds from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund in response to the country's debt crisis. Austerity measures were a requirement for getting such funds, and despite the protests, it's considered unlikely that the government will give up its efforts to enact the measures.

Tanker seized by Somali pirates; Russian warship en route

May 5, 2010 Somali pirates seized the , an oil tanker bound for China, earlier today, prompting a Russian warship to be dispatched to the scene, reports say.

The hijacking occurred about 900 (560 ) off the coast of Somalia, according to officials. The vessel's owner,, says the pirates, armed with automatic weapons, shot at the ship from two speed boats early in the day.

There were 23 Russian crew members aboard the tanker; all are said to have locked themselves in a secure room in the ship. The crew sent out distress calls to the Marshal Shaposhnikov warship before communications were cut off, Novoship said. A reporter with the BBC, however, commented that the warship probably would not intervene, as it may put the lives of the crew in danger.

The Associated Press reports that the ship contains 86,000 tons of crude oil, worth around US$50 million.

Pirates currently are holding over 350 hostages and twenty vessels in various locations around Somalia; international warships patrolling the Gulf of Aden have been unable to entirely halt the hijacking of ships.

BP: One oil leak in Gulf of Mexico plugged

May 5, 2010 🇺🇸The oil company BP has said that one of three leaks from a ruptured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has been sealed off, in an attempt to stop the oil from the destroyed Deepwater Horizon rig from contaminating the sea further.

Although 800,000 litres of oil a day are still pouring into the sea, officials say it will be easier to combat the spill with only two leaks.

"As we speak today we now only have two leak sources but I would stress the amount of oil being leaked is still the same," commented BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles.

Meanwhile, remote-controlled submarines will be used tomorrow to try to place a large iron dome over the other two leaks, according to BP spokesman John Curry.

The Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20, killing eleven workers; the cause of the disaster is not known.

2010 UK general election results

May 6, 2010 This table shows the results for 649 of 650 constituencies in the in the United Kingdom (not including the delayed constituency of, which will hold its election on 27 May).

The "Constituency" column shows the name of each constituency, linked to the relevant Wikipedia article. the "Result" column shows the winning party, and whether they held or gained the seat (and, if relevant, who they gained it from). The "Votes" column shows how many votes were received by the winning party, the "Share" column their share of the vote, and the "Swing" column the in the direction of the gaining party.

In the general election, people over the age of eighteen around the United Kingdom may choose to vote for a candidate at their local polling booth, and Members of Parliament are elected to each constituency based on the system. Whichever party has a majority of MPs after all constituencies have announced their results has the opportunity to form a government.

The incumbent party before the dissolution of parliament was Gordon Brown's Labour Party, exit polls suggested a small Conservative Party majority, which—when this swing is projected nationally—would cause a. The exit polls also suggested that despite reports that support for the Liberal Democrats had surged following the first national televised leaders' debates in the United Kingdom, the Liberal Democrats would suffer from a third party squeeze.

On the morning of Friday 7, 2010 the accuracy of the exit polls was demonstrated when it was revealed that there was indeed a hung Parliament and that although the Conservative Party had the greatest number of seats and votes it would be impossible for them to achieve an outright majority. The constitution of the United Kingdom allows for the incumbent Labour Party to first attempt to form a government and incumbent Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that he would allow civil servants from the Cabinet Office to help facilitate negotiations. Despite the Labour Party openly courting the Liberal Party, their leader Nick Clegg has stated that as the party with the most seats and most votes the Conservatives have the right to attempt to form a government.

Some seats were also be contested by one or more of a number of smaller parties and independents, including the United Kingdom Independence Party, the British National Party, and the Green Party of England and Wales, who all already hold seats in the European Parliament and local government authorities, all hoped to gain their first seats in the House of Commons in this election. History was made when the Greens won their first Parliamentery with their leader Caroline Lucas winning. In Northern Ireland the also won their first seat with  taking 's seat.

Wikinews:Briefs/May 05, 2010

Intro
From Wikinews, the free news source, this is the Audio Wikinews Brief for Wednesday, May 5th, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and here are today's top stories:

BP: One oil leak in Gulf of Mexico plugged (0:16)
The oil company BP has said that one of three leaks from a ruptured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has been sealed off, in an attempt to stop the oil from the destroyed Deepwater Horizon rig.

Although 800,000 liters of oil a day are still pouring into the sea, officials say it will be easier to combat the spill with only two leaks. However, BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles stressed that "the amount of oil being leaked is still the same".

Meanwhile, remote-controlled submarines will be used tomorrow to try to place a large iron dome over the other two leaks, according to BP spokesman John Curry.

The Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank on April 20th, killing eleven workers; the cause of the disaster is not known.

Taleban launches attack on Afghan city; several dead (1:06)
At least eight suicide bombers with the Taleban attacked Zaranj, a city in southwestern Afghanistan, earlier today, killing at least four people. Reports say the rebels blew themselves up near the governor's compound. Witnesses also reported gun battles between rebels and officials in the area. The Taleban contacted the Reuters news service, confirming that they were responsible for the attack.

Afghanistan's interior ministry said the victims consisted of a provincial council minister, a civilian, and two policemen. Police say eleven others were injured as well.

Scottish airspace to be closed over volcanic ash concerns (1:44)
Airspace across much of Scotland has been shut down since 7:00 a.m. local time due to volcanic ash from an eruption in Iceland. Flights across Europe are unaffected since new rules now permit aircraft to enter clouds of low-density volcanic ash.

A spokesperson for the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) cautioned that "forecasts also show that it is likely that the ash cloud will continue to move south, potentially affecting airports in the north-west of England and North Wales." The CAA stated that ash over Scotland and Northern Ireland is denser than that which engine manufacturers have deemed to be safe.

The Republic of Ireland's airspace was closed yesterday but was open again today. The Irish Aviation Authority warned that sporadic disruption is possible throughout the summer as the eruption continues.

Heavy rains start in central and southern Chile while aftershock takes place (2:42)
Heavy rains started to fall on early Wednesday morning through most of central and southern Chile. The rains have affected thousands of people that lost their homes after the great 8.8 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami earlier this year. In Chiguayante, firefighters emptied a camp that was completely inundated by the rains. It is expected that the downfalls will provoke chills and respiratory problems in children and the elderly.

President Sebastián Piñera visited some locations affected by the rains where people told him and Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter that the mediaguas, or small houses, given out by the government don't block out the water and humidity. There are also people that haven't received tents or mediaguas yet. The government announced that ambulances will constantly patrol the cities.

Meanwhile, an earthquake hit the area, with the epicenter offshore of Maule at 11:24 am local time. The USGS reported the quake measured at magnitude 4.9, although the University of Chile Geological Survey reported it as 6.1. There was no tsunami warning.

Knife-wielding woman arrested after allegedly stabbing four at store in West Hollywood (3:58)
Police in West Hollywood, California have arrested 34 year old Layla Trawick who is alleged to have stabbed four people in a Target shopping store on Monday. At least one witness claims to have seen Trawick perform the attacks who described the assailants behavior as "look[ing] like she was going to stab everyone there."

When paramedics arrived on-scene shortly after midday local time, they discovered one person critically injured along with a second person who sustained minor injuries; both of whom were transported to a local hospital. Two other victims only required treatment at the scene.

Armed off-duty police officer, Clay Grant Jr, was able to stop the assailant who has since been arrested and is currently being held on $1 million bail.

Tanker seized by Somali pirates; Russian warship en route (4:49)
Somali pirates seized the Moscow University, an oil tanker bound for China, 900 kilometers off the coast of Somalia earlier today, prompting a Russian warship to be dispatched to the scene. The vessel's owner, Novoship, says the pirates, armed with automatic weapons, shot at the vessel from two speed boats.

There were 23 Russian crew members aboard the tanker; all of whom are said to have locked themselves in a secure room on the ship. The crew sent out distress calls to the warship Marshal Shaposhnikov before communications were cut off. According to a reporter with the BBC, the warship probably would not intervene, as it may put the lives of the crew in danger.

Pirates are currently holding over 350 hostages and twenty vessels in various locations around Somalia and though international warships have been patrolling the Gulf of Aden, they have been unable to entirely halt the hijacking of ships.

Investigation into US Airways river ditching in New York completed (5:49)
The United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has completed its investigation into the ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 into New York's Hudson River. The fifteen-month probe began after the Airbus A320 performed a water landing when bird strikes damaged both engines in a move dubbed the "Miracle on the Hudson" by the media. Nobody was killed.

The NTSB's final report, adopted after a board meeting yesterday, concluded that a combination of safety equipment better than the mandatory minimums and good reactions by the crew were the main reasons the 150 passengers and five crew survived. Although not required, the plane also had equipment designed for safety on flights over long stretches of water.

Other factors cited by the NTSB that helped the situation included good visibility, calm water, nearby ferries which provided rescues within twenty minutes and good co-operation in the cockpit, allowing the crew to maintain control. However, the report also cautioned that bird strikes are ultimately unpreventable and criticized safety briefings and life vests. The report also said that ditching procedures are designed for gradual descent from high altitude and not the lower altitude the jet lost power at.

The captain's decision to land on water was vindicated as the best option available.

FDA report criticizes conditions in factory that produced recalled medications (7:25)
The United States Federal Drug Agency (FDA) has issued a report into an investigation which began last April in which it heavily criticizes a medicine factory. The company in question, Johnson & Johnson, issued a product recall last weekend which affected medications sold in twelve countries.

The FDA found that an unidentified bacterium was contaminating ingredients, quality control was ineffective and workers had not been properly trained in safety procedures for manufacturing pharmaceuticals. Security issues were also found. In all, the report listed twenty problems identified.

Johnson & Johnson's division McNeil Consumer Healthcare stated that the products recalled could contain foreign particles, excess active ingredients or improperly tested material. McNeil said the factory has been temporarily shut down and said the breaches were "unacceptable to us".

Wikinews interviews Dr. Phil Klotzbach on upcoming hurricane season (8:24)
On June 1, hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding areas will commence, signaling the potential for a tropical storm to develop at any time. After last year's relatively quiet season, with only nine named cyclones, meteorologists are on-guard for increased activity over the upcoming summer and autumn. Hurricane season runs until November 30, and while storms have been known to develop at practically any time of the year, most tend to form within those bounds.

Wikinews contacted Dr. Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane expert at the Colorado State University, for an exclusive interview. You can visit Wikinews.org to read the interview and learn about predictions for the upcoming hurricane season.

On this day in history (9:13)
Today is Cinco de Mayo!

In 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín, the Mexican army won an unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla. The battle is widely celebrated as the holiday Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, in the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo is considered a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride but should not be confused with Mexico's Independence Day, that day is celebrated on September 16th.

African leaders start drive to eradicate malaria

May 6, 2010 The African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA), consisting of leaders of 26 African countries, are beginning a drive to eradicate malaria from the continent by distributing medication, insecticides, and bed nets.

US$100 million worth of funds will be given out to battle the disease in endemic nations; the budget was announced yesterday at the World Economic Forum in, Tanzania.

Ray Chambers, a special envoy for malaria with the United Nations, commented on the push, saying: "We believe that if we cover everybody in Africa with bed nets, insecticides and medication by the end of this year, we will have zero deaths or near zero deaths from malaria in Africa by 2015." A statement from Chambers said the funds will be provided by the US President's Malaria Initiative.

The statement continued: "The new US funding comes as ALMA finalises a bulk purchase of long lasting insecticidal nets. This bulk purchase of 50 million long lasting insecticidal nets by twelve African nations will reduce costs and streamline procurement and distribution, accelerating the rate at which nets will begin reaching risk populations [...] African leaders, working together with friends of ALMA, are forging the African-led response needed to solve one of Africa’s most severe health challenges."

Tanzanian President, in comments to the World Economic Forum, said that the same strategy had lowered the incidence of malaria in from 40% to 1%.

According to health experts, use of nets can lower the spread of malaria by 50%, and cut child deaths by a fifth.

Malaria, a disease spread to humans through infected mosquitoes, costs Africa more than $40 billion annually in sick days and treatment, according to the Reuters news service.

Thanks for the reply! The language that you used in the interview displays that which you believe in. Wow, my ideal politician, one that makes themselves accessible and a party that is true to the people.

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

Hospital shut down by State of Florida
Hi. You'd mispublished Hospital shut down by State of Florida (which I fixed for you) — only authorized Reviewers can publish articles. When a non-Reviewer puts the publish tag on an unpublished article, that doesn't publish it, and does move it to a more obscure part of the Newsroom (the "Articles mispublished" section). --Pi zero (talk) 13:06, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The article needs to have at least two independent sources. I've tagged it as needing that, before being resubmitted for review.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:41, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you please define 'independent source'? Tkfy7cf (talk) 21:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I tried to explain a bit more what was needed in the second review of the article (which is below the first review — I did a double-take myself, when I looked at the talk page and saw the first review again). By "independent newsfeed" I meant that one source isn't just repeating information that it got from the other (which sometimes happens when, for example, several sources are just reporting what they heard from Reuters, or something like that).  I did try to explain a bit more in that second review about the two-source requirement.  I realize it can be a real problem, for a relatively local story like this, to find two independent sources to support a synthesis article; but that's what's called for.

 * Note that I also commented on a sourcing problem for the last paragraph, and on the lengths of the later paragraphs.

 * A lot of this stuff is in the "Basic news writing" section of the Style guide.

 * BTW, by this time I think I'm a bit over-involved in the article myself to pass it for publication, so ultimately it will have to be reviewed by someone else — which will probably take some time, as there's often a longish queue waiting for review (measured by when the review tag is added). That's actually part of the reason I'm trying to be helpful in explaining about what needs improvement:  I've seen first-time authors write an article, then it sits around waiting for review for a day or more, and when it fails review for something basic, there isn't time for the author to go 'round the review process a couple of times learning what's needed before the article goes stale and ultimately has to be deleted ("Facts don't cease to be facts, but news ceases to be news").  Of course, death by staleness might happen despite everyone's best efforts — it sometimes happens even to experienced newshands — but it would be nice if the cause weren't failure to help a new author learn what's needed.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:20, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Swedish Wikinews
Hi. I am incredibly confused how a project with active participants to form consensus that they will all no longer contribute at this time. But in any case, because news can be published at any time, inactive appears to mean "We can become active at any time.", I would be opposed to removing the link... especially with Jimmy Wales having talked up the importance of reporting, quality reporting, and how Wikinews should be better supported at Wikimania. Hopefully, Jimmy's words of support for journalistic efforts on WMF projects and encouragement for greater WMF support will lead to new contributors to the Swedish project and enabling to be become active again at any time. :) --LauraHale (talk) 20:43, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Black boxes from Air France Flight 447 localized

May 6, 2010

The and, or "black boxes", from an  plane that crashed on June 1 last year in the Atlantic Ocean, have been localized to within about 2 square miles (5 square kilometers), a French official said on Thursday.

The French government and military officials have urged caution, saying there is no guarantee the flight recorders will be found. French navy spokesman Hugues du Plessis d'Argentre commented to AFP, "[I]t's like trying to find a shoe box in an area the size of Paris, at a depth of 3,000m (9,800ft) and in a terrain as rugged as the Alps."

The aircraft, an, carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew members, for a total of 228 people on board, crashed in the Atlantic Ocean after flying in bad weather. The, which measure airspeed, are considered likely to have been a contributing factor to the crash. However, the actual cause has yet to be determined.

The search is now in its third phase, which started on March 30 – April 1, 2010 and was originally announced to last 30 days. However, on May 4, the search was extended to May 25.

British political candidate Nigel Farage injured in plane crash on polling day

May 6, 2010

A political candidate for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) has been injured in. Nigel Farage, the former leader of the party, was in a two-seater plane when it crashed at an airfield in Northamptonshire. The plane crashed just one hour after voting had opened on polling day.

Farage, 46, was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The pilot of the plane is believed to have suffered more severe injuries and was transferred to a different hospital.

The plane had landed at the airfield in and was beginning to take off again when the accident happened. The plane was being flown with a UKIP banner and was due to fly over, the constituency where Farage is standing.

A UKIP spokesman said about that incident that "We've had unconfirmed reports that either the banner got snagged up, or there were cross-winds and it was unfamiliar airfield to the pilot." He added that after a discussion with an aviation expert that the banner could not be a factor in the accident.

Chris Adams, a fellow UKIP candidate for the constituency of, released a statement on the condition of Farage. He said "Nigel was unconscious but he can talk. He's been coming in and out of consciousness and is now being X-rayed."

The fire and ambulance services have remained at the scene of the crash and an investigation has been opened.

Mumbai gunman given death penalty, to be hanged

May 6, 2010 Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only surviving gunman from the 2008 gun attacks in Mumbai, India, has been sentenced to death by hanging, on 86 charges, including conspiracy, murder, terrorism, and waging war against India.

The sentence was handed down after being in the courts for over a year, and after a 90-minute sentencing hearing. Kasab can still appeal to the high Mumbai court, the Supreme Court, and the Indian president to have the sentence reversed.

"Today's sentencing sends the message that keeping Kasab alive would be a crime in itself," commented public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam outside the court after the sentence was made. "Terrorism and terrorists like Kasab cannot be tolerated. The death penalty is the only option."

The court rejected the defence lawyer's position, who said Kasab committed the attack under pressure from the Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based tribal group blamed for the attacks. Kasab is a Pakistani citizen.

At least 166 people in Mumbai were killed and 234 injured when several hotels, a rail station, and other locations were attacked by gunmen over a 60-hour period in November 2008.

However, according to media, people on death row frequently are not actually executed for years; the last available data from 2007 indicates 308 people are on death row, the  reports.

User:Turtlestack/ToDo

= ToDo =

This is (obviously) my to do list for Audio Wikinews. As you can see, there is a lot to do, but this list has grown much smaller over the time I've been tending to AW. At my current work rate, I may have all this done by January 2011, which considering, isn't too bad, but I know I could be doing more to promote the show and that's an even longer process of making sure I'm keeping up on my posting to various blogs and forums as well as reddit and my twitter feed and my blog.

Action Item List

 * 1) Update template for individual story uploads so as not to interfere with full AW show upload and category process on the commons
 * 2) Script Guide ToDo (1) Building the promo (how many stories, what order, how to word them correctly and why) (2) Ordering the script (lede, follow ups, etc) (3 How to combine similar stories and adding stories from a previous day (4) add portion about mission statement and what that means.
 * 3) Continue writing production tips section on using VLC for stripping media and how to incorporate mono tracks into Audacity.
 * 4) Move the upload elements on the briefs page under the sample script. This should be kept to provide an explanation as to what this code means. (this will be done once the pages are re-organized)
 * 5) Add links to free A/V resources
 * 6) Write a quick checklist for weekly and monthly maintenance (schedule, archiving worspace and updating this link to send producers to correct monthly archive when uploading new shows (I can just copy the code here from this page))
 * 7) Determine if I can make play lists on Internet Archive for wikinews uploads (I almost don't care about this but only because it will be a lot of work since I still need to add all the keywords and into text to all previous files (April & May). The only benefit here is for search engines and higher visibility on the net - which is a good thing and probably worth spending an entire weekend doing. Perhaps multiple playlists by week and or month (or both?) - I really don't need this to be a priority since it's really just busy work.
 * 8) Maybe get back on reddit and see if I can drum up interest for a female speaker for the Quote of the Day. I really want a female voice for this because it should be the very first thing heard (even before the crappy intro music) and it needs to be awesome. A male voice just does not work for this - something about a female voice just works so much better. Anyway, this is part of my wanting to integrate more of all the wiki's resources into the show (including possibly adding the picture of the day as the meta artwork to each mp3 file for iTunes).
 * 9) Add a personal page listing the history shows (maybe someday far, far in the future, I'll edit up the TDiH segments, re-record the necessary pieces and create a page and set of files strictly for TDiH. That would be cool, especially for wikipedia portability, however, I shudder to think about the time involved in doing it.
 * 10) Add a personal external links page (for audio and effects) so I can keep them all straight and remember where I got them from
 * 11) Update my blog with full transcript of TDiH (with time code) as well as commons images. This is mainly for my own referral however, I do get a fair amount of traffic there since most people like using the posterous player better than the .ogg player here. Does the .ogg player not work as well? I should look into that too.
 * 12) Promotion checklist of places I "promote" at? FFS, I need a promoter lol
 * 13) Go to bed

AW Site Map
This is here just to help me remember where things are and to give me a visual idea of how the site is built so that I don't start making things to complicated as I jump from item to item.

Layout For Audio Wikinews Pages

Audio Wikinews

 * News Briefs

 * Workspace (contains schedule on main page; talk page is for the work)
 * Archives (archives of all previous workspace talk)

 * Team (team responsibilities and how to join information)

 * The Show (all about making the show)
 * Templates (script, header, footer, A/V files, commons)
 * Style Guide (still need to write structure style guide (order of show, how to write a promo, remembering the entertain the audience), also add list of "extras" as well as how to put a script together including examples of preparing and editing articles. Recheck this page to refer to script page)
 * Production Guide (how-to make a show with visual guides)
 * Script Writing (How to put a script together, editing decisions, dramatic tension, "teasing", narrative flow)

 * Releases (this is all things audio, Briefs and Spoken Articles)

 * News Briefs (current year)
 * News Briefs Archive (every show ever done - includes link to all commons files)

 * (if there was a way to add a link to the time stamp on the News Brief .ogg file, then we could just add that to the article and we would not need a spoken wikinews section. Also, the spoken project is not something I am interested in taking over as the AW is a full time job for me, so if someone else wants to do this (as had James Pain), then that would be really cool, but keep in mind, it might also be redundant since the AW:NB already reads nearly the entire text of the article with only style and minor content edits made to each.)

 * However, this project is still useful, especially for the visually impaired who do not want to sit an entire News Briefs show. I would like to see someone rejuvenate this project (someone who will still follow the basic quality guidelines I've laid out for AW:NB). I need to get with Brian about the vision impaired site and see what's up with them.

 * Spoken Wikinews (Is there not a main page for this project?)

 * Spoken Wikinews (current spoken articles.)
 * Spoken Wikinews Archive (every article ever spoken and no, I'm not cleaning up that page)

Daily Show Housekeeping
This is the list of the things I have to do once a show is completed in Audacity, converted to .ogg, converted to .mp3, ID3 tagged, uploaded to The Internet Archive, uploaded to Posterous and uploaded to PodBean. Ugh, this whole part can take over 1/2 an hour everyday too - especially when adding timecodes to the script, key wording the Internet Archive meta data, saving the PodBeah HTML twice because WordPress is bollocks and drops all HTML formatting on an initial file save and just generally waiting around as the files to convert twice (once for .ogg and once for .mp3) and upload 4 times (commons, internet archive, posterous and podbean).

 * 1) Upload the Current Show
 * 2) Update the  Main Page Media Menu template
 * 3) Update the Audio Wikinews header
 * 4) Update the News Briefs Home page
 * 5) Update the current August 2010 archive

Russian forces storm oil tanker seized by Somali pirates, crew freed

May 6, 2010 Russian special forces aboard the Marshal Shaposhnikov warship have stormed an oil tanker that was recently seized by Somali pirates.

The forces boarded the  ship, where they freed the 23 crew members, who had been hiding in a secure room in the ship after disabling the vessel's motor. There was a shootout between pirates and special forces, in which one pirate was killed. Ten other pirates were taken into custody.

"Pirates have released the tanker [...] All crew on board the tanker are alive and well," said a spokeswoman for the tanker's owner Novoship. The company said the decision to take the ship over by force was made because "the crew was under safe cover inaccessible to the pirates". The Moscow University is carrying 86,000 tons of crude oil, valued at US$50 million.

Pirates currently are holding over 300 hostages and twenty vessels in various locations around Somalia; international warships patrolling the Gulf of Aden have been unable to entirely halt the hijacking of ships.

Greek parliament passes austerity bill

May 6, 2010 The Greek parliament has approved an austerity bill proposed by the government to help rescue the country's ailing economy.

The proposal, which includes increases in taxes, as well as salary and pension cuts, passed with 172 members of parliament supporting, 121 opposing, and several abstaining; the proposal needed at least 151 votes to pass. There are 300 total parliament seats.

The vote comes after a debate that took the entire day. Meanwhile, rallies and strikes are being held around the country to protest against the measures; the protests have occasionally turned violent, with a firebomb attack on a bank killing three people yesterday.

The and the International Monetary Fund had asked for austerity plans to be implemented so that Greece can access a rescue loan package worth US$146 billion in order not to default on debts. The austerity programme is estimated to save $38 billion. Greece also aims to lower the public deficit to less than 3% of the GDP in four years; at the moment it is at 13.6%.

Prime minister George Papandreou described the situation to parliament ahead of the vote, saying: "The situation today is simple - either we vote and implement the deal or we condemn the country to bankruptcy [...] The future of Greece is at stake. The economy, democracy and social cohesion are being put to the test."

Papandreou also expelled three Social deputies from his parliamentary team when they abstained from voting; however, his bloc still has a parliament majority of 157 MPs.

Finance minister George Papaconstantinou also commented that Greece will default on some of its $12 billion debt on May 19 if action is not taken, saying: "The state's coffers don't have that money. And because the only way for the country to avoid bankruptcy and suspension of payments is to take the money from our European partners and the International Monetary Fund."

Opposition parties, however, say the measures will put too heavy a burden on the populace; the leader of the conservatives, Antonis Samaras, commented: "The dose of the medicine you are administering is in danger of killing the patient. You know that these measures have sparked a social explosion [...] The citizens of this country have to believe there is a way out. Because whoever cuts pensions of €700 cannot convince anyone."
