Brazil Political crisis: Minister José Dirceu leaves the government

June 16, 2005

The Brazilian Minister of Civil Affairs José Dirceu announced this evening his resignation from the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

During his discourse José Dirceu said that he will return to his earlier position as a representative in the national congress allied with the Workers Party. He said that he will defend the government against those "who want to interrupt the democratic process and want to destabilize the government of president Lula". He said that he is leaving with "clean hands", "a heart without bitterness" and with "a raised head".

Dirceu is the victim of a serious political crisis in Brazil because of accusations of governmental corruption. Dirceu was one of the most important ministers in President Lula's government.

The crisis worsened after declarations of Roberto Jefferson, president of the PTB, a party allied with the PT. This Tuesday, Jefferson said to a Congressional Commission that minister José Dirceu and the President of the Workers' Party, José Genoíno, were involved in the payment of bribes to Brazilian congressional representatives.

Third major earthquake rocks California

June 18, 2005

A sizable earthquake shook Southern California for the third time this week. The quake occurred at 1:53 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday and reached most parts of Southern California by 1:54 p.m. The 4.9-scale tremor, appearing to have originated 79 miles east of Los Angeles, comes on the tail of two other quakes, including a 7.2 magnitude quake off the coast of Northern California which briefly triggered tsunami warnings Tuesday night.

Geologists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) affirmed that the quake was too weak to cause structural damage to buildings. In Orange County, the quake lasted 5 seconds and rattled objects on shelves.

Geologists expressed concern at the occurrence of three earthquakes so close together in time and space. Other Pacific earthquakes, including one in the Aleutian Islands and another in Chile, have also occurred in recent days.

Satellite radio approved in Canada

June 16, 2005

Canada's communications regulator, the CRTC, has approved three applications for subscription-based satellite radio services. The three applicants are Canadian Satellite Radio Inc, SIRIUS Canada Inc, and CHUM Limited.

Two of the applicants, Canadian Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Canada are both required to offer at least eight original channels (10% of all channels) produced in Canada. Also, 85% of the music and spoken programming broadcast on the "Canadian channels" have to be Canadian, and 25% of the Canadian channels must be broadcast in French.

The lobby group, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting publicly opposes this decision, saying that it creates a pipeline for U.S. radio programs into Canada.

Wikinews talk:Print edition

Comeback?
Is there ever going to be any chance that the Wikinews Print Edition will make a comeback? --Rayboy8 (talk) 20:00, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No chance (at-least by me) as a manually created document. Eventually I will code up some sort of automated generation, but it will likely be a while. --Cspurrier (talk) 20:43, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * If it's nothing personal/private, would it be incredible nosy of me to ask what went wrong? (Coz I'm asking!) Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Time issues mostly. It takes about 20 minutes to create each issue, since I started grad school I stopped being able to dedicate that much time everyday. --Cspurrier (talk) 22:00, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Consider it brought back. I am going to try to keep this regular. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  04:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Could someone switch it down to auto-confirmed? I want to update the introduction. I'm using OpenOffic.org 3.2.0 and not 2.3. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  04:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

 * ✅ Don't see why it needed fullprotect at all, tbh. Shifted it down to semi. Tempodivalse [talk]  04:24, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Include photos?
Many times photos are very useful "accessories" to the online articles, so why not put them in print as well? Benny the mascot (talk) 02:12, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I was talking to Mikemoral about a more graphic-centre print edition. With photos and graphics. In a few words, more goodlooking. We all can help doing this dividing the work in groups or from user to user. Thoughts? --Diego Grez let's talk 02:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, getting a group of people to complete a task is harder than having only one person do it. That especially applies here, where we publish the print edition every day. Benny the mascot (talk) 02:20, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but in a week period is better. Everyone does his task and the print edition is improved. --Diego Grez let's talk 02:34, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I like it! A weekly edition allows us to showcase our lead articles on the front page while pushing the less important news into subsequent pages. interesting... Benny the mascot (talk) 02:36, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Anyways, back to the photos, I'll try to add maps, flags, etc. to the edition tomorrow and see how well that works out. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  02:37, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Wikinews Weekly? Somewhat catchy. Released each Sunday and that gives me time to actually put together the crosswords that take long to make. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  02:40, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Meh...maps and flags are probably unnecessary in print; I rarely see newspapers show them anyway. Other kinds of images could be beneficial, however. Benny the mascot (talk) 04:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I like it. Just let's form a group and divide tasks. Also maps are boring. --Diego Grez let's talk 12:08, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * What tasks are you thinking of exactly? Benny the mascot (talk) 14:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Someone to check the licenses of the pictures, someone to do the main page, etc, etc. --Diego Grez let's talk 14:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Something to ponder, will the people this is aimed at want to use all that colour ink? Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:34, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * They can print it in black and white if they want to. Benny the mascot (talk) 14:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

 * True. Still a lot of ink. My understanding is that this is why this wasn't done before. Anyways, I'll leave it to others, print ed isn't really my area. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe we can publish two versions of the print edition. Also, I noticed that Wikipedia allows you to easily create books out of the articles. Can we use that same service to create our print edition? Benny the mascot (talk) 15:39, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I was thinking on make the print edition look more like this. It maybe is too much work for a little group of people, but I have been told that Scribus is very nice doing this job. --Diego Grez let's talk 15:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. How easy would it be to make such a paper, assuming we do it weekly? Benny the mascot (talk) 16:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia uses an extension filed via bugzilla I think to do the w:WP:BOOKS. Imo, it would look unprofessional for a newspaper-type publication. @Diego: Scribus is a pain to use. OpenOffice works much better and gives better output, I think. @Benny: I would have to change up the template lot to make something like that. And I am rather against ever using fair use images. Sticking FURs in the PE would look stupid. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  18:31, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity, how do you make the print edition anyway? And I agree with you on FU images. Benny the mascot (talk) 23:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I use an OpenOffice template. If you want one, just email me and I'll send it to you. I tried using images today, see File:29March2010.pdf. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  23:59, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I saw...personally I feel that the pictures would look much better if you use the format Diego suggested. Just a thought... (you don't need to send me the template, but thanks!) Benny the mascot (talk) 00:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well Diego showed a real newspaper-style formatting with articles finishing on random pages. This formatting is a bit more straight forward. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  00:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * But on the current version the photos are getting squeezed. Benny the mascot (talk) 02:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

My best bet is to fit the photos to the column. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  02:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: the wikipedia books thingy (mw:Extension:Collection) really is much better suited to printing reference-book type things, not newspapers. I imagine it'd be possible to modify it to make more news paper friendly output, but that would be a lot of work. If you guys are considering alternate formatting, take a look at file:Wikinews_Extra-1.pdf, file:Wikinews_Extra 2-1.pdf and file:Wikinews G8 Coverage.pdf (I personally like the way the G8 one looks). Bawolff ☺☻ 02:29, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Who's Ryan? I'd like to try and get the G8 file before it was a pdf. Hopefully it's a odt or doc file. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  02:56, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. It was a bit before my time of becoming really active. (hopefully someone other then File:Ryan Jenkins mugshot Vegas April 2009.jpg). I Don't even know if he did anything other then create those pdfs. According to the file metadata, it was created in Adobe InDesign . Possibly w:User:LockeShocke, who lists his name as Ryan Jenkins, has an interest in graphic design (consistent with designing something like that) and was active around july 2005 at wikipedia, but thats just pure speculation. CSpurrier might know more. Bawolff ☺☻ 00:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Automated Daily News
I honestly think we should be focusing more time on creating an automated system to do our daily news, it should not be that hard. Maybe also we could just get the wikilords to give us a modified version of the book extension, which would do the articles in collumns, and look a little different than the rest of the media wikis? ☠ Travis "TeamColtra" McCrea  ☠ - (T)(C) 18:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Its open source - sofixit as they say. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

When is the next issue coming?
I've been eagerly waiting for the next print edition. The last one hasn't came out since June 7, which is a month ago. Just wondering when the next print edition is coming out.

 * Yeah?! ....what he said.Buddpaul (talk) 16:54, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that anyone asked....but I've done a'lot of reading about the Print Edition........it's history.....its recent implosion.......in my opinion......the entire idea should be abandoned. With current technologies, I just can't see something like this, that'd take any average person about 3 hours per week (and that's just putting out about 2 issues per week) to compile into something OK-looking. I just don't think the end-result would be worth it. Now, if someone (not me) has loads of time on their hands....go for it, man.Buddpaul (talk) 23:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * A small edition is useful for the purposes of daily reference-- people who download the wiki database would appreciate being able to have daily updates to see what changes from Tuesday to Saturday and the like. As a National Forensics League extemporaneous speaker, sources updated daily in one location would be incredibly convenient. -Unregistered User

User talk:Scxx~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 Scxx. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Scxx~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Re: Audio Wikinews
No, it isn't. Sorry, forgot to update that. The background music is the soundtrack to the Wikinews Broadcast edition, which can be found here. --Mrmiscellanious 19:05, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Great job with your first News Brief! Your accent is great. I have a couple of minor comments. First, the music goes on for a little bit too long at the beginning. We probably don't even need music for the briefs, as they are news updates. Second, try to talk a bit faster. The ideal length for an Audio Wikinews News Brief is 2 to 3 minutes total. Great job, and keep up the good work! NGerda 23:35, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Great job from me as well. Your first release was ideal, great time usage - nice tone and speed.  Keep up the great work.  --Mrmiscellanious 01:25, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * It's fine the way it is now, at least I think. We're more aiming for a 1.5 - 2.5 minute limit for briefs, originally 2 - 3.  With Full Reports coming out that are around 5 - 7 minutes long, I found it unnecessary to have briefs be any longer.  --Mrmiscellanious 15:37, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Will take a look
Am short on eyes at the moment... (have several conversations/projects going) but will take a look soonest. - Amgine/talk 02:19, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nice job...
We're pushing ahead with some developments at Audio Wikinews. Any chance you can comment on the talk page there? Or just leave me notes so I can try to get up to speed with where you're at... - Amgine/talk

You may have seen this on the water cooler, but if not, please see: Wikinews talk:Audio Wikinews --Chiacomo (talk) 2 July 2005 05:25 (UTC)

New Main Page design proposal
I invite you and others to see Main Page Talk, where I have proposed a new Main Page for Wikinews. Best wishes, NGerda 01:47, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

It showed the COMPUTEX was looked down by you or to say, the whole community!!! Brock contact... 06:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I know your difficult, but if using "Breaking News" only in the "opening day", would it be preferable because I will enter and station into the Press Center of COMPUTEX at Nangang Exhibition Hall (See here), and I will receive their official press card next morning in Taipei Time. (That is, 2:00am of UTC Time on 6/2 and 6/3 will have different opening for different shows, 6/2 -> WiMAX Expo Taipei, 6/3 -> COMPUTEX.) If there will be any latest information, I will post it here as "Breaking News" and hope the community pay more attention, In addition, please read the schedule carefully if anyone want to check my participated seminars or conferences: COMPUTEX Media Schedule, Intel Media Events, WiMAX Expo Taipei Media Schedule. As I promised to Brianmc, I will try preventing product launch introduction although it's difficult for me since I got several invitations from Intel officials. On June 2, the D & I award, Green IT Forum (related to environment) and WiMAX Expo Taipei will have new information, I will post mainly about those three ones although a Polish Wikinews Administrator Ala_z waited for my Computex pictures for a long time, in addition, to fulfill the needs of a exposed information streams, I built a portal for this show.

Bush administration drastically cuts penalties sought for in tobacco trial from $130 billion to $10 billion

June 17, 2005 Bush appointee Robert McCallum overrode Justice Department lawyers who had been handling the government's tobacco racketeering trial for the past 5 years. McCallum ordered the lawyers to reduce the penalties sought at the close of the nine-month trial from $130 billion to $10 billion, angering some of the trial lawyers to the point where it is reported they threatened to quit their jobs.

"Everyone is asking, 'Why now?' " said an anonymous Justice Department employee afraid of retaliation. "Why would you throw the case down the toilet at the very last hour, after five years?"

Congressional Democrats oppose the slashing of the penalties for the tobacco industry, and have asked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales not to enter into a settlement based on "the unreasonably weak demands made by the government."

The New York Times pointed out that McCallum was a Skull and Bones 'brother' of President Bush. Bush has appointed a number of Skull and Bones club members to government positions since he became President, including SEC head and former Philip Morris executive William Donaldson. Bush strategist Karl Rove was a Phillip Morris lobbyist before Bush asked him to work on his 2000 campaign for the presidency.

This isn't NPOV
This isn't even remotely neutral. There are specifically five items from the source articles that should be included or expanded upon. If reading these five items leaves you squirming over how drastically the voice of the article changes, then we can consider the case closed, and reappend the NPOV until a more honest solution can be found. I'm holding off on edits for awhile, to encourage discussion and consensus.

-"The department has vigorously defended the decision, denying political motives and saying the $10 billion reflected an effort to arrive at a figure that would comply with an adverse decision from an appellate court this year that some officials said sharply limited the types of sanctions the department could seek. [NYT]"

-"In light of the appellate court ruling, he said, 'a decision was made by the department that the best argument for the government to make was one that would preserve credibility in the government's case with the trial judge, would result in a favorable decision from the trial judge and would result in a trial court decision sustainable upon appeal.' [NYT]"

-"One of the government's own witnesses had proposed a 25-year nationwide cessation program that would have cost the industry $130 billion. [Yahoo]"

-"Justice Department spokesman Kevin Madden would not comment on the report. "The government made a decision to offer an argument that was based on the merits of the case and that would be sustainable on appeal," he said. [Yahoo]"

-"Justice Department officials said the revised penalty was necessary to meet the standards of the civil racketeering law under which the case was filed in 1999. [Yahoo]"

Five beheaded during violent prison riot in Brazil

June 17, 2005

Five prisoners were beheaded and got their heads exhibited by the rioters during a violent riot in the "Zwinglio Ferreira" Prison, located in Presidente Venceslau, São Paulo State, Brazil.

This is the most serious riot of prisoners in the 19 year existence of the penitentiary. The rebellion began Tuesday, at 8:30 a.m. and it finished Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. Some heads belonging to the murdered prisoners were put on iron spears so they could be shown from the roof of the prison. Some prisoners played football with one of the heads.

According to Nagashi Furukawa, the secretary of the administration of the prison, the rebellion originated because of prisoners who were contrary to the criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). The supporters of PCC killed their opponents.

Dell would be 'happy' to sell PCs running Mac OS X

June 17, 2005

PC manufacturer and Apple Computer competitor Dell, Inc. has stated that it is interested in shipping computers running Apple's Mac OS X. Michael Dell, founder and chairman of Dell Computers, made the comments while talking to David Kirkpatrick of Fortune magazine.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in an email to Kirkpatrick. Apple recently announced that it would begin using Intel x86 microprocessors in its computers next year, but has continued to deny reports that they will allow their OS to be run on non-Apple hardware.

US trade deficit increases to record high in first quarter 2005

June 17, 2005

The United States trade deficit increased to its highest level yet: $195.1 billion (£161 billion) in the first quarter of 2005, according to preliminary U.S. Commerce Department figures. The figure represents the sum of money flowing into the United States by selling exports subtracted from the amount of money leaving the United States from import purchases. The last quarter of 2004 saw a deficit of $188.4 billion.

The new record-breaking deficit represents 6.4 percent of the US's gross national product, again an increase on last-quarter 2004 - up 0.1 percent. The deficit on goods increased from $182.2 billion to $186.3 billion, as imports of goods increased more than exports, particularly in industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, and consumer products. It is believed that China's economic boom, and the increase in imports from the country, is partly responsible.

Analysts expressed concern at the findings, with Allan Seychuk, an economist at RBC Capital Markets, saying "This is not the direction markets were hoping to see for the mammoth current account deficit. The U.S. dollar has lost a great deal of ground because markets are uncomfortable with a deficit that has now reached record levels."

Wiltshire constabulary issues European arrest warrant for Hayley Richards murder

June 18, 2005

In a statement today, Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Mike Veale named Hugo Quintas aged 23 of Seymour Court, Trowbridge, former boyfriend of Hayley Richards, as being wanted for her murder; and stated that a European warrant had been issued for his arrest. Richards, aged 23 and pregnant at the time of her murder, was found in her flat in Carders Corner, Trowbridge on the afternoon of Saturday June 11, 2005, with her throat slit. DS Veale stated that it was known that Quintas boarded a plane from Bristol Airport on Saturday afternoon, bound for Portugal, but that his present whereabouts are unknown.

DS Veale stated that Joaquim Sergio Da-Cunha, aged 29 who shared a house with Quintas, was arrested two days ago, and today appeared in court charged with perverting the course of justice, where he had been remanded in custody until June 24, 2005, when he will appear at Swindon Crown Court.

DS Veale also released a photograph of Quintas for publication and broadcast, and appealed for help from the public in connection with a car, an L-registered black Rover 200 SLI, which is now in the possession of the Wiltshire constabulary. He stated that he knew that it was in the Trowbridge area in the days leading up to the murder, and needed to know where it was during the period from the evening of Friday June 10, 2005, to the following afternoon.

DS Veale urged anyone who can help in connection with this particular line of enquiry to contact Wiltshire Police on +44 1380 735735 or (within the United Kingdom only) call Crimestoppers anonymously on +44 800 555 111.

British motorists showered with cash on motorway

June 17, 2005

Drivers on Britain's M3 motorway were stunned to be confronted with a shower of cash on Tuesday evening.

Eleven thousand pounds' worth of £20 notes were blown from the rucksack of a passenger on a motorcycle at 7:30pm, while the motorway was busy with traffic.

Just £500 was recovered; the rest is believed to have been blown away in the windy evening. At least four other drivers quickly stopped, causing Hampshire police concern for safety.

The police are now investigating as to why the pair were carrying so much money. Carrying large amounts of money is not illegal, but is highly unusual. The riders said they had been to a car auction, returning empty-handed.

The motorcyclists re-started their journey, but the cycle broke down just two junctions on.

Goodyear blimp crashes in Florida

June 17, 2005

A Goodyear blimp crashed at a Coral Springs, Florida industrial park on Thursday night, causing about 1,400 homes to lose power. The two people on board, pilot Daniel Lynn Thomas and passenger Charles Thomas, were not hurt, although they were trapped on board briefly while electrical crews cleared the area.

The blimp, named the "Stars and Stripes" is 192 feet long, 59.5 feet tall, and 50 feet wide. It took off from Goodyear's 32 acre blimp base at Pompano Beach Air Park, about 12 miles away, shortly before the crash. It is one of three Goodyear Blimps in the United States.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash, thought to be weather related. Goodyear company spokesman Jerry Jenkins, in a brief statement on Thursday, said, "We're grateful there were no injuries onboard or on the ground. Following an investigation, more information will be released."

"Stars and Stripes" was the oldest of the three operational Goodyear blimps and was best known for providing aerial coverage of NASCAR races.

40 million credit cards compromised

June 18, 2005

MasterCard International announced Friday that multiple instances of fraud have been tracked back to CardSystems Solutions, Inc., a company that processes credit card transactions and other payments. Customer names, banks, and account numbers of up to 40 million cardholders have been exposed, of which about 13.9 million are MasterCard-branded cards, the company said. Visa and American Express cards were also affected.

"The breach appears to be the largest yet involving financial data," said David Sobel, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.

CardSystems issued a statement late on Friday that said it learned of the potential breach 26 days ago, but that the FBI told the company not to advise the cardholders nor the public at large. CardSystems also said their statement had been vetted by the FBI.

A spokesperson for the FBI said that the agency had asked CardSystems not to disclose information that could compromise the investigation, but that it had not asked CardSystems to fail to disclose the breach at all.

Michael A. Brady, C.F.O. of CardSystems, told the Associated Press that "we're absolutely blindsided by a press release by the association," when speaking of MasterCard's release. A MasterCard spokesperson said that the company was obligated to inform its customers of the breach.

MasterCard spokesperson Sharon Gamsin said that CardSystems was hit by a virus-like computer script that stole customer data for the purpose of fraud. She said MasterCard does not know how the script got into the CardSystem network.

Sobel said this theft "indicates that this is a shadowy industry where the consumer never really knows who is going to be handling and using their personal information. Presumably, the affected consumers thought they were dealing with MasterCard." Having a third-party process credit card transactions is common practice in the industry.

Ross, note that words such as "privatisation" are not misspelled. Using an "s" is such words is British/Australian spelling. The standard on Wikipedia is to leave such words spelled the way that they were written originally. I think the same should apply on Wikinews, lest we end up reverting each other for something which is quite minor.

If you can report this better, why didn't you report it? Don't judge others if you're even worse yourself!!! 67.15.119.25 23:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

How did you find DJ Myers?
I've been looking forever for DJ Bluecore, DJ Lord and DJ Myers. On your wishlist is contains Contempo 10 and 11, which are amazing, crossed out. Does this indicate that you found them? If so, please direct me to the site at which you discovered them.

Please respond to the email that suites you best: hardcore_trance1@yahoo.com HTIDkyle@aim.com DragonxRaver@hotmail.com

 * I'm wondering the same thing, and I'm definitely interested: hhfan [AT] nocertainty [DOT] com. Also, I doubt you'll be able to find DJ Bluecore, as most of his mixes are still HappyHardcore.com exclusive. Same goes for DJ Lord (although you can find a few on Choons.net). - Dennis

Rfda
This is a message to inform you that I have added every administrator to the Rfda section on WN:A. This is not personal and I feel as if the community, who did not have the option of voting for or against most of the administrators, should be able to choose who they want to be in charge. I also want to say that I value everyones work on this site and I know that everyone does their best. I hope that none of you will take this personally and I hope that all of us will continue to work together. Jason Safoutin 12:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Good to see that an old-time administrator has returned to Wikinews! —     04:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No, as far as I know, that was the first communiqué you've ever sent me. Anyways, write now, questions will come later. —     04:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Accreditation Expiration
Greetings, I wanted to let you know that our policy regarding accreditation has recently changed slightly. Specifically we've enacted an automatic expiration of accreditation after 2 years. You can very easily "re-up" your accreditation should you choose to, but at this point in time you're on the Inactive list. As such your accreditation will automatically be revoked on March 15th unless you request otherwise. Currently, posting to the following thread will keep your accreditation. At a later date, all Accredited reporters will be put in for that "re-up", at which time you'll be notified. Thank you, and should you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 20:31, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. NGerda 22:36, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Your username
I'm sure your username has special and valuable meanings for you; I know that mine does for me. However, Wikinews inherits the community guidelines from Wikipedia, including No_offensive_usernames. The important line in this policy, I think, is: Fairly or unfairly, the line between acceptable and unacceptable user names is drawn by those who find the username inappropriate, not by the creator of the name. What this means in this case is that although the username may not be offensive to people who are Autistic or Psychotic, it is perceived as offensive by some members of the Wikinews community.

Because of this, I am asking you as a member of this community to choose another username. I hope you'll understand that we value your contributions and you as a person, it's just your username which is causing us some issues. Thanks! - Amgine/talk 00:40, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Tyco executives found guilty

June 18, 2005

The former CEO of Tyco International, Dennis Kozlowski, as well as CFO Mark Swartz are convicted of taking more than $600 million from the company. Charges include grand larceny, securities fraud, conspiracy, and falsifying business records.

The first trial ended in a mistrial after one juror received a threatening letter. Nancy Salomon says of the second trial that the "Defense was counting on the jury not reaching a verdict; they had used their challenges during the jury selection process to kick almost every potential juror who had a college degree, or had any business experience or Wall Street experience off the jury ... they were hoping that this case was just going to be too confusing for the jury." While the jury did take 11 days to arrive at their decision, they found Kozlowski and Swartz guilty on 22 of the 23 counts. To combat the aggressive jury selection strategy undertaken by the defense, the prosecution "basically gave the jury several credit hours worth of an MBA", teaching them about following paper trails and detecting falsification of business records. It paid off during deliberation as the jury requested over 100 documents to review.

Kozlowski and Swartz directly stole approximately $150 million USD from Tyco and acquired $430 million more by inflating the company's stock value and then secretly selling company shares. Bail was set at $10 million each. The two former executives face a minimum of eight years in prison, up to a maximum of 25 years. In addition, Kozlowski is accused of evading $1 million in sales taxes on six paintings that he bought in 2001 in a separate New York State case, and Swartz faces tax evasion charges in New Hampshire. If convicted in these cases as well, they would face up to 30 years in prison.

Wikinews:WNN:Proposal

An old, long abandoned project that was widely rejected by the community.

About | Listen | Schedule | Questions

The proposal is simple: that a proposed subproject (entitled "WikiNews Network", or "WNN") be extended as an official subproject of Wikinews. Contributors are able to create and edit media files (audio and video) at their own free time and will, and submit them to wnn.wikinews.org. All submissions are licensed as public domain files, with attribution of the used material going to Wikinews. All news content on the programs are provided by Wikinews and Wikinews contributors. The project would organize and unite previous audio and video projects into two concepts of broadcast under the same name:

WNN Radio would be derived from the current Audio Wikinews subproject handled by many users. The audio would consist of the present news briefs, and spoken articles. The audio portion would loop the most current news brief with a pool of a randomly selected three-day-or-less old spoken article (ensuring that briefs and articles are presented within a 5-minute period).

WNN Video would be derived from the former broadcast subproject, created by DV. Of course, there would have to be some form of enthusiasm from a group of contributors for a semi-regular release of the video project, as it would require much work. If we are unable to find an anchor for a daily program, we may use scrolling text instead to keep the channel "live".

Reason
Wikinews now has a large group of contributors, and considering suggestions in the IRC chat room and proposals on the Water Cooler, NGerda thinks we should promote a new media project further than our current Audio and Magazine subprojects. We would also like to start on WNN Video as soon as possible, as it would greatly increase our coverage and notability abroad.

Broadcast?
There are two ways such a project could work: either with streaming servers (perhaps available from Freematrix, however details will be sorted out later), or with simple hosting of files (and RSS/XML feeds to notify audience of new media releases). Each have their own advantages and disadvantages, however like the previous WikiNews Network proposal, all content would be screened by an elected panel to ensure adherence to site policies. The goal would be to have recently recorded material broadcast as quickly as possible.
