Pentagon report to Congress mentions "conditions that could lead to civil war" in Iraq

September 5, 2006 Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq, a report to the U.S. Congress by the Pentagon, dated August 2006, explicitly mentions "conditions that could lead to civil war" in Iraq. American think-tank Council on Foreign Relations commented that "'Civil War' Becomes the Question"

In the recent days, American politicians have been taking positions as to what should be done if a civil war breaks out in Iraq ; "Are we going to put our troops in the middle of a civil war? Who are they going to fight? This will be slaughter of immense proportions. The American people will not put up with it. The leadership in Congress will not put up with it.", Senator Chuck Hagel declared. The publication of the White House "Plans in Case of a Civil War" has suggested that ability of the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" to maintain its deployment in Iraq would be at best uncertain : "if there's a full-blown civil war, the president isn't going to allow our forces to be caught in the crossfire", a source told MSNBC. Most Democrats, such as Senator Murtha, and an increasing number of Republican senators, such as Senator Hagel, are pushing for a withdrawal of the occupation troops.

In early August, a confidential report by the British ambassador in Iraq had warned of a "low-intensity civil war and a de-facto division of Iraq". US generals John Abizaid, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East, and Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also warned of a worsening of the situation, degrading to a "civil war".

Alot of the Iraq stories are being vetted to the "Disputed" queue. It seems the more detail you add, the less your stories get published. I'm trying to get some clarification now.

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 Msbgjunkie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Msbgjunkie~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Calderón declared Mexican president-elect

September 6, 2006 After more than two months of wrangling following the July 2 election, Felipe Calderón of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) has been declared president-elect of Mexico by the country's electoral court. His six year term will begin December 1st. The court's 7 judges unanimously affirmed that Calderón defeated left-wing candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador by a margin of less than 0.6% of the vote rejecting Lopez Obrador's claims of electoral fraud and undue influence by outgoing president Vicente Fox and dismissing the option of annulling the election and holding a new vote. Tens of thousands of Lopez Obrador's supporters have been rallying in Mexico City for weeks demanding a full recount. The court allowed only a partial recount of 9% of the ballots - the recount narrowed the margin by 0.03%, which the court decided was not enough to justify a wider recount.

Calderón has responded to the court's ruling with an attempt to placate the left with a call for unity to defeat poverty, unemployment and crime.

"I want to again express my recognition of my adversaries," said Calderon in a Tuesday evening broadcast to the nation.

"Their proposals, the most worthwhile ones, which are the most legitimate and representative, will be incorporated into my government programme."

"From my side, there will always be an extended hand and an open door to dialogue," he added.

Lopez Obrador, a former mayor of Mexico City, has rejected the electoral court's ruling.

"I do not recognize someone who tries to act as the chief federal executive without having a legitimate and democratic representation," he said in a rally in Mexico City's Zócalo plaza.

Lopez Obrador referred to his rival as a "usurper". He has spoken of the possibility of declaring a parallel government "of the people to rival that of the political mafia and white-collar criminals", and said he would continue to lead street protesters.

Under Mexican law the court's decision is final and cannot be appealed.

Inputs-advise (18 October 2006)
Doldrums,

Thanks for the advise, I will keep the copyright issues on top of things. Im just starting here, your guide is appreciated, would like to keep the Philippines page updated a little and practicing how to contribute to WikiNews. I look forward to staying on here contributing -- unless I am on assignment. BTW I am a local journalist here reporting for a local broadcast outfit - contributes and more for a foreign news network. What's the rule if I covered the event and I am reporting it, how do I or why should I credit other news sources, maybe just for references?

Thanks.

Disputed article: Iraq (05 September)
Hi Doldrums,

I placed an tag on the Iraq story, removed some of the details that brianmc requested I remove, but I can't see where the facts are being disputed. Everything in the article is taken from citations. Can you please advise? - Nikishka

Hi Back at you
Welcommittee??? Ahem... I guess I'm not the only lazy typist around! Interesting user name you've got! Kudos!

Have you any idea why your common.css is doing such ugly things to the graphics over here. See Template:Interwikitmp-grp and contrast with the (intransition) W:Template:Interwikitmp-grp. It's disconcerting to say the least! The whole plan was to have a uniformly coded set of all templates... Apparently, Dang, Interwiki class-sisterproject, Dang-Dang, Interwiki class-sisterproject (Strike three! My, My! You folks don't have many common tools at all, at all! Try again w/brute force: template:Interwiki class-sisterproject (Whew! ) will need some adjustment. Drop me a note if you have any light to shed on the matter. I thin' it's time to get some sleep.

Dear

Please sign your messages because that assists me in knowing who has left me a message. Second of all the article is NOT the same as the original text. From the moment I change something, I am no longer in copyright infrigment. I may SEEM that the text resembles the one of swissinfo too closely, but you will notice that I did administer changes so that I would no longer be infringing copyright. Once changes have been administered, the text is no longer the one it was and therefore it is liberated of copyright protection.

Thank-You,

pre-archiving copyedit
You might want to look at AWB for working on the pre-archive copyedit. My only gripe is the edit control doesn't behave the same as the one in Firefox.

Once you enable a few options in it you can get it to automatically catch and fix most typos, as well as your own custom changes (I use this to get rid of the Microsoft Word quote characters).

Basic use is build a list of all articles with certain criteria (Eg eveything from Category:September 15, 2006, click start and it'll load, check and do any typo fixes and show you the diff. You can then make other changes and diff again or preview.  When you save it automatically goes to the next article.

What it doesn't have is an option to protect, mainly because thats alien to the folks over on Wikipedia. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The .NET framework is pretty big, but I already had an earlier version for some of the Real Work(TM) stuff I use.

Corruption scandal in Poland
Hi,

Thanks for your attention and assisstance concerning the article I have started. I am completely new to Wikinews, as you can probably guess, so I have no idea how the whole thing should work, but I believe this is a very major story, so I thought it would be good if Wikinews had some coverage of it. I personally think it might be published as it is now, perhaps there isn't much detail, but on the other hand I don't think much more is needed for the casual reader. If a published article can be edited, I'd gladly add more later using Polish sources, but I guess the story is already one to two days late, so I guess there is little sense waiting.

Could you please tell me whether you believe there is more "development" needed or we can oublish it now. Thanks!

Bravada 11:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your welcome message and replying! I hope the article was appropriately sourced and NPOV, as I simply summarized the two English-language reports I could find. I am afraid there isn't much fruther copyediting I could do, as the article sadly reflects the pinnacle of my rudimentary English. I do hope other users will be merciful enough to brush it up. Therefore, I decided to publish it for now so that WikiNews won't be kept behind.

 * Now I see the story got posted under today's date, which makes is slightly improper, as it is based on reports as of yesterday. I was hoping to post another story on the later developments of yeaterday, basing on reports published today. Oh well... *(heading off to watch the news to get an update)* Bravada 11:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

My experience with Wikinews was a lot better than with WP, and I hope this interesting project will continue to develop and grow. I am sorry to say, however, that my current time constraints would not allow me to contribute significantly anyway, so I my decision is pretty firm. While bowing goodbye, I would like to thank you for being very kind and helpful. Bravada 20:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I do fully appreciate the sentiments you expressed to me in your message Doldrums, and believe the points you make do fairly represent commonly held viewpoints here. It was not my intention with this post to incite drama, but rather for me to at a minimum throw in that boot of support that I do have for Neut, and to have some community pause for thought at what is happening here. There is no question in my mind that Neut knows better. For those actions Neut undertakes anyway, irregardless of the consequences... well flaunting it is a fleeting thing. -Edbrown05 08:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't have interest because I'm a conservative asshole who loves killing Muslims, but because there is something in the US government called the "terror threat alert" that would have most likely be affected by a plane flying into a building. It doesn't matter what their definition of "terrorism" is, but as jourrnalists we ought to report on things accurately and not castrate names because you personally disagree with the American definition of terrorism. —     12:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Re:Iran article.
I searched the IRNA website, but could find no such story. This fact, added to the minimal nature of the article convinced me that it was a hoax. If you could find any news-source that published something of this nature, or if a more comprehensive search of the IRNA site yields results, please feel free to undelete it. Until then, I think it better to assume that the article is a hoax. PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) 07:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I notice that you are reverting close to or over the 3RR limit. Please note that I will block on any further editing to that article during the 24-hour period. -- IlyaHaykinson 15:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me, I don't understand why you reformatted the references the way you did on Gag order imposed on Guantanamo whistleblower.

And I don't understand why you removed the wikilinks.

If you will give me a few minutes I will submit a compromise reference format. I want to add another section, too.

Hi Doldrums,

The Adminstrator Alert page is for requesting action against particular users, not for expressing your sorrow at an article not being published. Also, you are supposed to warn the errant users before taking the matter to WN:ALERT. I have removed your disruptive "alert" and expect you to take it elsewhere. Thanks.

 * The Hezbollah source will be enough at this point. We will add the Hezbollah stand on the matter to the article and publish it. I have already mentioned this at the article's talk page.

US population reaches 300 million
Thanks for your help with the story US population reaches 300 million! If you take a look at the talk page, Talk:US population reaches 300 million, someone pointed out that the article was created before but then it was deleted. I tried to checked the history of the earlier page to see if maybe I could add anything but since it was deleted I don't see any history: http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=United_States_passes_300_million_mark&action=history I noticed that you're an admin, so I was wondering if would you know if there is any way to see the deleted content of that story and may use it in the current article. It doesn't really matter if we can't, as the current story seems have enough content as it stands now. Anyway, I got to get some sleep. Again thanks for the help editing! -Hyad 07:56, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It appears that this user has decide to violate WN:POINT in order to have his grievances addressed. Despite being warned to cool off for a while and stop being disruptive, Daniel has (very directly) started proclaiming his desire to annihilate India. Since this user already seems to have some problems with me (he has expressed a desire to include me in the whole India-annihilation procedue), perhaps you could take some action against him?

Korea poll

 * Wow, the work you´ve put into that is awesome ! I'm sorry left it in a semidesolate state, but I've been kind of busy since I've returned (and to be honest, I had kind of lost my drive for it, after already having spent quite some time and energy for it). I can only say I´m very grateful that you have polished it up so remarkably :D !
 * With hindsight, I guess it it might have been sensible to follow your advice (on getting a few worded opinions instead of doing a very small poll), but, as I may have stated elsewhere, the problem with that was the unwillingness of my "translator" (who went on to do a remarcable job I must say). Anyhow its been an interesting experience, and I'm very glad to see that its actually led to a nice article as well :D . I was thinking today, that if we got our act together, we could probably poll 500 or more people, by splitting it up between a number of contributers. Well, something to think about for the future anyway. Many kind regards Sean Heron 09:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for dramatising this a bit. Put you to trouble. Have cut it in two & added direct quotes. Is it OK to publish now? Fentonrobb 18:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I understand the rules, though they make for pretty dull headlines.

I changed the title as suggested but found the article had been deleted by someone saying "for some reason this does not appear to be news". No reason given.

Frankly I think I have just been wasting a lot of time on wikinews, trying to get things right only to be axed like this. If a cyclist can get a headline for his defence in a doping case by mentioning wiki, and if a report on the planet's condition gets binned because its not news, I wonder what it's all about?

One sided
This article is very one sided. I am sure not all of Washington thinks there is going to be a civil war or that one exists. What about defense quotes from the President? There is only the nes of this new report in the 1st paragraph. The rest is basically blasting the US gov and does not give any defense to this report. Too one sided. Jason Safoutin 19:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

worst than one sided
I think and most people around the world think  civil war is burning in Ikaq for months. I am very surprised by this report. It's obvious that civil war is occuring just viewing tv or reading news, no? or i do not share the same definition for civil war : citizen of the same country figthing each other in the name of : (a god, a chief, a wealth, a bit of territory, ...)

exemple : Iraq government asked to raise the national flag everywhere, Kurds refuse because this old flag is represent to much blood.

How is considered a US state refusing to raise the US flag ?

Jacques Divol 19:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Jacques, the news coverage on this issue is quite different depending on which side of the atlantic you are on. And with it the notion of what is "obvious". :-) --vonbergm 20:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The news is precisely that the understanding of the situation in evolving: a civil war was what France, Germany and other feared to be a likely the outcome of the invasion; when the situation started worsening, the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" started losing its leafs; then the former British ambassador to Iraq and two US generals used the term "civil" war to describe the situation.
 * Now we see that the actual words "civil war" are present in a report by the Pentagon as an institution -- an institution lead by Rumsfeld, who recently suggested that comparing the people who are worried about Iraq and those who tried to appease Hitler is accurate and tasteful.
 * This is quite obviously a milestone in the evolving of the rethorics regarding Iraq. Rama 09:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Arctic Monkeys win Mercury Music prize
The Arctic Monkeys won the 2006 Mercury Music Prize for their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. They beat such competition as Muse, Editors and Thom Yorke to the £20,000 prize. The Arctic Monkeys said they were "Surprised, honoured but very pleased" to win. In all, more than two hundred albums (released in the last year) were considered from both British and Irish acts.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest selling debut album ever in Britain when it was released; selling over 360,000 copies in its first week.

Egypt - Rail accident claims five lives
The collision of a freight train with a passenger train just north of Cairo in the town of Shebin al-Qanater. The accident claimed 5 lives and injured another 30. It is reported that one of the dead was the engineer of the freight train.

The accident comes amid a public inquiry into a previous crash. Mohammed Mansour (Egypt's new director of transport) has said that the transportation system is to be overhauled. The government has approved $860 million in funding to develop the rail infrastructure as well as another $600 million in loans to private rail operators.

President of Iran warns universities to stay out of politics

September 5, 2006 The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at a meeting today, advised the heads of Iranian universities to restrain from political involvement.

On the occasion of the National Youth Day, the president met with university students. He declared that "Today, students have the right to strongly criticize their president for the continued presence of liberal and secular professors in the country's universities." He complained of how difficult the reforming process at the universities, affected by secularism, progressed, but added: "Such a change has begun."

The president is also the head of the Council of Cultural Revolution, thus having the power to institute such changes. Last November, the regime appointed a cleric as head of the Teheran University, against the will of student protesters. The current events are in line with previous reports of the Iranian regime interfering with university activities.

Ahmadinejad also praised the students by saying that they have spectacular talents and intelligence compared to students elsewhere in the world.

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 Ammodump. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ammodump~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 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Liberal leadership hopeful Ken Dryden outlines vision for Canada

September 5, 2006

Liberal leadership hopeful Ken Dryden outlined his vision of the country today. He wants Canada to be a fair, global, environmental and learning society.

"What I'm trying to focus on is the educational systems as part of a whole piece of what I call a learning society," Dryden told CTV's Canada AM this morning. "We learn from the day we are born and we learn until the day we die."

"The challenge is finding ways of enhancing learning through a national system of early childcare and a proper mix of scholarships and government help, such as grants and tax incentives," said Dryden.

Dryden admitted during a news conference that he doesn't know whether Canadian troops should withdraw or stay in Afghanistan or whether a carbon tax should be part of any climate change plan. He has now called for a thorough debate and examination of the issue.

Other leadership hopefuls are planning big policy announcements this week as they head into the few weeks before delegates are chosen to attend to leadership convention in December.

Teenager sentenced to four years for manslaughter

September 6, 2006

15-year-old teenager, Ngatai Reweti was sentenced and jailed today at Auckland's High Court for four years after killing Christopher Currie by throwing an eight kilogram chunk of concrete at Auckland's Southern Motorway.

Currie, from Taupo, was driving along the Auckland Southern Motorway with his friends when the concrete smashed through his windscreen from the Princes Street, Otahuhu over-bridge, killing Currie instantly.

Reweti was originally convicted of the murder of Currie on August 19, 2005 but in July, 2006 a jury overturned this conviction and instead of murder charged him with manslaughter.

Justice Winkelmann, during the sentencing, said: "Reweti's actions were serious and of breathtaking stupidity worthy of condemnation." She said it was a mindless act that killed Mr Currie and irreparably damaged the lives of others.

Winkelmann has suggested that he should serve his sentence at a youth justice residence and said that it was not premeditated unlike what the crown said.

Currie's family are outraged at the sentence. "We feel let down by the justice system. I feel the judge has disrespected us as good people and good people all over New Zealand," said Wayne Currie, father of Christopher Currie.

Reweti's family had said that Ngatai was gentle and loving but the deputy principal from his school said that he was often absent and very challenging. Reweti had taken full responsibility for the killing even though he had been smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol the day before Currie died.

Aaron Perkins, crown prosecutor, said: "The sentence should deter others from committing such acts and people should be able to travel on the roads without the fear of a missile being thrown and the consequences of that."

User:Fabartus

My WikiHome is Wikipedia, User:Fabartus, but I have accounts on all the sister's and am nearly constantly bouncing from one to another at this juncture. The best way to get me is send an email with Wikipedia in the title line. Fabartus--AT--Comcast.net (That kind of '--AT--' should defeat most spammer spider's crawling the web, in case you didn't know! )

I'm visiting here transfering an integrating useful timesaving template tools... which should add to your productivity... Take a look here and there at W:Category:Interwiki utility templates, and most of what is tagged there should be showing up Category:Interwiki utility templates as soon as I get... A) Time enough to finish some grooming B) More time to transfer stuff over, and last but not least, Work some things out with the Meta Communications committee. Cheers! // Fra nkB 07:49, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, my wiki-home is nominally wikipedia, but I'm on Meta and the Commons much of the time as well spent time on several other sisters.

Best way to reach me on talk is to post Here or there and elsewhere.

Wikipedia will indubitably have a slight edge in timing, unless I'm working RL, then the other two send me email to notify about changes.

You can skip the bother, and just email me at Fabartus --at-- comcast dot net (Take that you danged web crawling spammer spiders!)

planetary conjunction article
hi Fabartus, good to see more 'pedians taking an interest here! about the planets article, first a little template message:

I noticed you added new content to the article, Planets Jupiter, Mercury and Mars line up, visible to naked eye, which is more than 24 hours old. Thanks for taking an active role in improving the content on this site. People like you who take an active role make Wikinews better for all of us — readers and writers alike.

One thing to note, though, is that Wikinews articles are not works in progress. Articles are considered historical documents reflecting the knowledge and understanding of the event at the time of publishing. Once published for more than a day or so, they should not be continually updated or modified, except to fix minor style issues (eg. spelling mistakes).

To report on new developments in ongoing story, you can create a new article instead of just adding content to an already published, out of date article. That way your work will be seen by more people since readers tend not to revisit old news articles looking for updates.

If a published article contains a factual error, please bring it to our attention at WN:ALERT, so that a Correction notice can be added to the article, which is otherwise left unchanged.

Again, thanks for helping improve this site.

so what i'm planning to do is turn ur addition to the current article into a new article, which can report on the event as having happened. it shld also be possible to get a couple of pics to illustrate what is already a pretty good writeup. this can also report on the upcoming conjunction with the crescent moon on the 18th and/or the Geminid meteor shower on the 14th. all this will ensure that the new article is sufficiently distinct from the old. the new article is Rare planetary conjunction on display. — Doldrums(talk) 06:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

interwiki templates
its great that your trying to improve stuff, but could you say on the talk pages what exactly they do? Bawolff ☺☻ 05:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * note I read the page on 'pedia, and I am still very confused as to what they do. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:38, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry didn't see this. Try W:Wikipedia:WikiProject template sharing and if that (draft status--will move to Meta when finished) doesn't ease your pain, drop me an email. (Fabartus --at-- comcast dot net) Gotta run! I was going to bed over an hour ago. Ha! //Fra nkB 06:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * ok. My main concern was that some of these seemed useless, but I was lumping it together with some other very useless stuff. Now I see this is separate, and quite probably useful [or they are not hurting anyone], so anyways, carry on. Also don't forget that if any of these templates were edited by people other then yourself, that you need to have correct copyright permissions. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Anything on Wikipedia and so far as I know, all the sisters is either Creative Commons Attribution or GFDL licensed, so that's a real non-starter! The edit trail is easy enough to see, but in wikipedia or Meta, most of these have a long history. Cheers! // 22:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

re: Link and Help:Link... They don't look very alike to me, and you COULD make an inquiry first. I was in midedit. Bide a while so I can finish the fix ups. // Fra nkB 00:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC) (sorry!)

 * re: Both have the "Copied from Meta" tag. Excuse me. --Thunderhead - (talk) 01:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep... and no problem. That other one was brought over by no less a luminary as former WMF board member Angela though. Nice lady. It's either evolved or she trimmed it considerably. She must have been active here helping get you guys set-up.

 * The one I'm doing is more technically complete, and I just noticed the page on Meta has also been redirected to the title used by her here (or maybe it's redirected the other way), either way, looks like they are supposed to be the same page. I just figured I'd port it as it was a redlink on another page I brought over. Just call me the ferryman!

 * Let me finish getting the several m:Category:Handbook templates you guys should already have over here and see if I can get this updated version to play ball. Then I can see if there's a list for your site to be added to so you get the same periodic updates as the other sisters when such Meta pages change. That's what usually happens on the commons and wikipedia with such pages. Editing them does little good, as the Meta copy needs any permanent changes... so you edit the Meta version, if any at all. The ironic part is proposed changes of major kind are discussed on wikipedia's Village pump! Go figure! . Nice to meetchya-- just don't cloud up and rain all over me!  // Fra nkB 02:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Dummy pages
They don't exist on Meta, so I don't see any need for pages like A b here.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 14:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Depends entirely on how much you hate redlinks, doesn't it? You may be correct, but I don't recall seeing that table containing redlinks on m:Help:Links. Well, 66.6:33.3, Meta apparently does have an 'a' page. My recollection is probably more from Wikipedia which has an b and an a b page too, albeit as a redirect page. Shrug. I really have no dog in this hunt! Do tend to hate redlinks though! Cheers! // Fra nkB 05:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Problem is they appear in the news room as developing stories... if you decide to pursue, you should try to use a [ [ Cat:no publish ] ] or something to keep them from listing on that page.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Acknowledge... (Sorry about the delay, but I'm timeshared between sites right now! ) I can see that being something of a problem... I gather that's you're local equivalent of 'New Pages' on WP, which would certainly be much of great interest in a news site. Wp's new pages list is big on any day and I rarely patrol that. Has to be a low energy day in fact for me to do any browsing per se— I've simply too many projects tasks on the to-do list already keeping me up too late at night too often as it is!  Anyway, I'm not looking to work 'Help' pages in any event in any big way... at least not until Mediawiki figures out whether they are taking that over, or whatnot, and make sure not to create any main space pages without checking with someone (I think you elected yourself there! ). Have enough on my plate, and wiki-time is getting tight again for me. // Fra nkB 20:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Turkish Parliament approves sending troops to Lebanon

September 6, 2006

The Turkish parliament approved the government's proposal for sending troops to Lebanon to take part in the UN-led peacekeeping operation. 533 MPs attended the voting session where 340 of them approved the proposal and 192 rejected. The troops are expected to departure by the end of this month or early October.

The Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey commented that "The required has been done. May it be good for the nation.". Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said "The framework of the proposal is planned to minimize the possible risks Turkish troops may face. After this parliamentary decision, it is our duty to support our soldiers to be sent and pray for them. I hope these discussions [regarding risks] will end after this decision".

Main opposition party leader Deniz Baykal and his party has opposed the decision. He said "This [discussion] has been beneficial as a chance to reflect opposition's understanding to the society". The other opposition party leader Erkan Mumcu emphasized the public reluctance about the mission and said "In the surveys, an average of 86%, in the least attended surveys around 74.6% of the participants have rejected the idea to send troops."

A well known Turkish international relations expert Prof. Huseyin Bagci, Lecturer at Middle East Technical University said "The approval of the proposal was the only chance". He also sees the risk for Turkish soldiers as "minute". However Derya Sazak, left wing columnist from daily Milliyet newspaper, is regarding the mission as risky.

The proposal's approval has been welcomed by U.S.

The proposal voted yesterday night will be passed to Turkish General Staff. Then the mission details including the number of soldiers to be sent will be clarified. This week, Turkish Foreign Ministry and General Staff personnel will meet to discuss technical details. According to sources, Turkish army will send not more than 1000 soldiers to the region by the end of this month or first week of October.

Princess Kiko gives birth to imperial baby boy

September 6, 2006 has given birth to a 2,558 gram (5.639 lb) baby boy, on 6 September at 8 h 27. He is the first male baby born in the since his father in 1965. The baby was delivered with a, and will not be named until a ceremony seven days after his birth.

The boy will be the third in line to succeed to the after the  and, father of the child.

The fact that wasn't able to have a boy to succeed the throne is thought to have provoked her  and subsequent withdrawal from public activity.

Pressure from the for another child was ineffective and therefore   appointed a panel to find an alternative. The panel's recommendation to allow women to inherit the throne was met with fierce criticism from conservatives.

The birth of the baby boy eases the pressure for the reform which about 70% of Japanese favoured but which was postponed  when the news of the pregnancy came to the public.

Prince Akishino has previously criticized his elder brother for not trying to sire a boy. According to Crown Prince Naruhito this was in order to protect Crown Princess Masako. At the same time, Princess Kiko has become the darling of the media while the Crown Princess has been accused of being "selfish" by some newspapers.

Wikinews:Briefs/September 6, 2006

September 6, 2006

Sport - Materazzi admits Zidane comment
Marco Materazzi has told ‘Gazzetta dello Sport' exactly what comment he made to Zinedine Zidane that caused him to headbutt the player during the 2006 world cup final. Materazzi said "I was tugging his shirt; he said to me 'if you want my shirt so much I'll give it to you afterwards,' I answered that I'd prefer his sister." Zidane, who was sent off for the incident, has previously refused to go into detail over what had been said, referring to it as a personal comment about his mother and sister.

Materazzi has been banned for 2 matches by FIFA (the world football governing body) whilst Zidane, who is now retired from the sport, was given a 3 match ban and fined £3,260.

India - Conservative leader's convoy hits and injures Mumbai woman
Yesterday a convoy carrying the UK Conservative party leader David Cameron (from a slum literacy project in Mumbai to a lunch meeting at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel) hit Prema Naik, a factory worker in the city. Cameron's car was ahead of the minibus that was involved in the accident and he was not aware of the incident till later.

Naik's condition was described as "serious" last night as she underwent treatment at the King Edward Memorial Hospital. Cameron said he was in shocked by the incident and promised that "the High Commission will also do all that it can to assist the victim and her family." The driver of the minibus was pulled out and beaten by a mob after the incident – a common occurrence in India.

Northern Ireland - Omagh bomb suspect goes to trial
Sean Gerard Hoey, a 37 year old electrician, will stand trial in Northern Ireland for the 1998 Omagh bombing. Hoey is accused of killing 29 people in the car bomb explosion on the 15 August 1998. In total he faces 58 charges of (some for separate bombings and conspiracies). Hoey is the only suspect to have been charged in connection with the bombings and has been in custody for 3 years.

The trial, in Belfast, will be seen by Mr Justice Weir and is expected to last 14 weeks. It is likely to be the last non-jury trial in Northern Ireland.

UK - NHS must "cut back" on old treatments
The National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence is to encourage British doctors to stop using older treatments if newer ones are available. It has been reported that unneeded tonsillectomies and hysterectomies (that could be treated with drugs) are costing the health service £21 million year.

Andy Burnham, a government spokesman said that the health authorities would still keep the money just be asked to review its processes; "New drugs and treatments are continuously emerging and trusts have to make difficult decisions about how to invest funding."

Europe - Sony announces launch of PS3 in Europe will be delayed
Sony have announced that they will delay the launch of the Playstation 3 from November 2006 to March 2007. A spokesperson cited supply issues for a key component. The delay, the second this year after Sony earlier moved the date from spring to November, means the PS3 will not be on sale for the Christmas rush (traditionally the best selling time for games consoles).

The delay is due to problems over ther supply of a blue laser used in the PS3's Blu-ray drive. The planned American launch date remains unchanged and Sony say they still aim to sell 6 million units by March.

For example most editors would write one hundred thousand as 100,000, but I would write the same thing as 1,00,000 due to the fact that I am accustomed to using the Lakhs, crores system. Then someone would revert it and then we would have the same sort of problems that we have with regard to British and American spellings.

STS-115 launch delayed

September 7, 2006

The launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, on mission STS-115 has been delayed by at least 24 hours due to a short in number one of the Orbiter's three Fuel cells. NASA expects to have more information available at 1pm EDT when they will have a meeting followed by a press conference.

The delay could result in a rollback, as the problem cannot be resolved on the pad. The flight has been delayed multiple times since August 27th.

NASA managers have extended their hold on the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch until at least Friday, due to a problem in the shuttle's electrical power system. At a 6 p.m. briefing on Wednesday, NASA's STS-115 Mission Management Team announced that because of the fuel cell anomaly it would be prudent to spend another 24 hours to research the issue. The management team will meet again at 1 p.m. on Thursday to assess the data gathered about the fuel cell issue and decide whether the launch will take place on Friday.

Space Shuttle Atlantis and the STS-115 crew is set to launch Friday morning on an assembly mission to the International Space Station. The launch time for Atlantis is targeted for 11:41 a.m. EDT

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

Pakistan President Musharraf in Kabul for talks

September 6, 2006 The President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf is in Kabul for a two-day visit during which he is scheduled to hold talks with his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai. The talks are expected to focus on the continuing militant activity on both sides of the border, with Taliban forces allegedly infiltrating into Afghanistan from across the border in Pakistan.

Economic cooperation and reconstruction in Afghanistan are also on the agenda. President Musharraf is scheduled to meet cabinet ministers and address parliamentarians tomorrow. His delegation includes ministers for foreign and religious affairs and the petroleum sector, and the head of Pakistan's intelligence agency.

"Frank discussions on the war on terror and expanding bilateral cooperation on regional issues," read a statement by President Karzai's office.

Pakistan foreign office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told AFP news agency that the Presidents "will exchange views on bilateral relations, economic cooperation, reconstruction activities in Afghanistan and cooperation in the fight against terrorism,"

"Afghanistan is expecting the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to take effective action against terrorism," Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Sultan Ahmad Baheen said.

Pakistan signs "agreement" with militants
Pakistan signed a peace agreement with pro-Taliban militants in the region on the eve of the visit. The deal aims to end years of unrest in the border province. Under its terms the Pakistan military forces and militants will stop attacks on each other and the militants have agreed to disarm or expel foreign Al-Qaeda-linked fighters in the area. Pakistan has rejected criticism that the deal will allow pro-Taliban forces to operate freely in the area.

"Pakistan is committed to its policy on war on terror, and Osama caught anywhere in Pakistan would be brought to justice," army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told the Associated Press.

Karzai meets NATO chief
On Wednesday, President Karzai met the NATO General Secretary in Kabul and signed an accord aimed at boosting security and development in the country. The NATO chief warned that "some of the terrorists, the spoilers, think they can win in the south,", adding "They are wrong. Because they cannot win, they will not win, [...] That is why we are engaged in combat as well at this very moment."

Violence continues
The visit comes amidst an upsurge in violence in Afghanistan, with US forces saying that 60 militants were killed by artillery and air-strikes on Tuesday. Some 700 more are believed to be surrounded by soldiers in an operation in province.

NATO and Afghan forces launched an operation in Khandahar's Panjwayi district last weekend, and NATO reports 250 militants as killed in the operations, though a Taliban commander has disputed the figure and there is no independent confirmation of the toll. Hundreds have been killed in continuing fighting between government and international security forces and insurgents in the last four months.

An estimated 1500 families have been displaced by the fighting in Khandahar.

Suspected Taliban militants shot dead two muslim clerics in Lashkar Gah, capital of the Helmand province in the last two days and raided a district headquarters in the town of Arghandad in province.

Strained relations
Musharraf last visited Afghanistan in 2002. Afghanistan has previously complained that Pakistan is not doing enough to combat Taliban insurgency in its side of the 2,250km (1,400-mile) mountainous border between the two countries. Earlier in the year, allegations by Afghanistan that Taliban and Al-Qaeda leaders were living in Pakistan were dismissed by Musharraf as "nonsense". In February, Afghanistan issued a list of 150 Taliban suspects it said were living in Pakistan. President Musharraf dismissed the information as "old and outdated", but President Karzai reiterated that the list was up-to-date.

Some Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders have been arrested in Pakistan, which has also stationed close to 80,000 troops along the Afghan borders. There is international pressure on Musharraf to deal with Islamist groups in Pakistan who are believed to assist Taliban forces.

"Pakistan has the potential to be the solution to the problems of Afghanistan," Afghan foreign ministry advisor Ali Muradian said. "We hope that President Musharraf will open a new chapter in relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan."

Pakistan was closely associated with the Taliban's rise to power in the 90s one of only three nations that recognised the then Taliban government.

Opinion divided over Pakistan's role
While state run dailies Kabul Times and Hewad expressed hope that two leaders will work together to improve security, The daily Cheragh said that while statements about restoring security can be expected from the meeting, "as experience has shown", previous pledges by Pakistan "have not been fulfilled".

Kabul Times also said Afghanistan was grateful for Pakistan's help to thousands of Afghan refugees.

"The key concern is whether the agreement is going to lead to more insurgents going to and fro across the border or less," A diplomat told AFP, while another questioned Pakistan's peace deal with the militants.
