Talk:UK and Aussie troops will not fight opium in Afghanistan

Aerial Spraying ?
I have been looking for articles that include some type of questioning/explanation as to why the coalition are not aerial spraying(killing) the Afghan poppy fields, which are out in the open, like the forested coca fields in Columbia are being sprayed. That is a good question to be asked, I think, so maybe someone can find an article where that question has been asked of a coalition official. Neutralizer 14:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Here's an interesting one I found on spraying... Apparently in 2004, Hamid Karzai rejected a spraying proposal...

--Brian McNeil / talk 20:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * that's great; I am having trouble opening it...getting past a CBS logo...will try again; thank you Brian. Neutralizer 22:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Those are California poppies
Lovely picture, but.... StrangerInParadise 03:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

i was wondering where the heroin goes? Which countries consume the heroin produced in afghanistan? while countries in the west are paranoid about heroin use, i watched a bbc documentary last year in which the use of heroin in iran (afghanistan's neighbour) was said to be the highest per capita in the world. I guess this wouldn't be a point useful for the article, but if anybody has any data about this, i'd be interested.

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 Dageneral99. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dageneral99~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 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mitchryan1. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mitchryan1~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)

Nice
Just read your Hawaii article - a classic piece of Wikinews reporting. An interesting story that would never have made it here to the UK. Thanks and keep up the good work! Dan100 (Talk) 14:35, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if I like that little synopsis I wrote, on the article you wrote, now at the 3rd lede. You can change the wording here if you like. Best regards. -Edbrown05 10:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, could I get you to add to the news briefs from now on? Otherwise, they get stuck in developing, and are out of place. Thanks! --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 23:05, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, will do. Sorry 'bout that.  KeithH 02:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

great job!
Hi there User:KeithH, just wanted to say you're doing a great job with the newsbriefs! I recorded one myself yesterday, and much enjoyed the process. I've got a small recording studio and might just start doing Spoken Wikinews (full articles), as it seems you've got the Briefs mostly covered. I'd like to coordinate a little bit, if we can, that way we don't both end up recording the same news brief for a given day and duplicating each other's work. Let me know your thoughts. Dto1138 15:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That would be great. You're doing a good job too and I'd appreciate the help.  Maybe we can work out a schedule of some sort.  When I get the chance I'll post something on the project talk page.  KeithH 07:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

You rawk and rewl! I just wanted to leave a note to let you know I am impressed with your writing. Karen 07:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, being in the IWWC, I've been getting a lot of practice. Believe me, an article a day is hard work!  Thanks!  Aloha, KeithH (talk) 07:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * You have a gift for words, better than that, it makes sense. I wonder some about this precedent that bill might make. What next?, cruise boats with exclusive and legal gambling rights, where other entrepreneurs are excluded... -Edbrown05 09:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I mean, we know far asians love to gamble, and that native american indian tribes have been granted special priviledges to conduct gambling enterprises within the continental US. Is anyone looking for special status here? -Edbrown05 09:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the bill as it stands (at least as I understand it) prohibits a Native Hawaiian nation from instituting gambling (not that we'd really want it here anyway; there's always Las Vegas). The state and our congressional delegation are actually framing it more as a matter of gaining political parity, because...well, there's a reason why the only royal palace in the U.S. is in downtown Honolulu. The U.S. wiped an fully independent nation off the map when it annexed Hawaii in 1900. Read the Wikipedia article on Hawaii to learn more.

Plus, the U.S. and state governments and private entities have instituted programs benefiting Native Hawaiians, but as of late what few programs that Hawaiians can call their own are coming under attack. For instance, take the Kamehameha Schools, a private school started by a Hawaiian princess to help better the condition of Hawaiians through education. It has long given preference in admission to Native Hawaiians (which, admittedly, in practice has become Hawaiians-only because there are more qualified Hawaiians than there are spaces). Its admissions policy is being challenged in the courts. Such is the climate these days. (For the record, I'm NOT a Native Hawaiian; I'm a 100% Japanese-American born and bred here.) Aloha, KeithH (talk) 08:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I wanted to let you know that I noted your reply here a couple days later after you posted it. At your suggestion, I did some light reading at the Hawaii link you provided above and did follow a few link threads from that reading.

 * I thought the juciest stuff is what you said right here, that "but as of late what few programs that Hawaiians can call their own are coming under attack." Thanks for that comment, what I thought was the most telling in relationship to the article you wrote.

 * I've found it difficult to make a transition from derivative writing to original writing here because because of a policy of citing sources. I'm not sure if that comment properly applies in reference to the article cited in my post, and I'm not really sure what I'm sayng, other than a freedom to inject a perspective into a story should somehow exist without having to resort to applying an 'Original reporting' tag or somehow have to defend the introduced material. -Edbrown05 04:46, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I thought [[Tornadoes cause millions in damages in Waco, Texas|Tornadoes cause millions in damages in Waco, Texas

]] was a really cool story for a very specific reason, it has no sources. -Edbrown05 04:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not advocating for the abandonment of sources, I suppose that I believe contributions to stories by persons with an intimate relationship of the subject should be allowed to introduce unique material that is unsourced, because there would be no source other than the common knowledge of those most affected by it. -Edbrown05 05:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Honeybabs. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Honeybabs~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.

MPAA launches seven lawsuits against torrent, ed2k and usenet sites

February 24, 2006

The (MPAA) has launched seven separate lawsuits against Internet sites in its latest anti-piracy crackdown. The MPAA claims the targeted sites had been "facilitating the distribution of copyright works".

The MPAA has commenced legal action against the following tracking sites—isohunt.com, bthub.com, and torrentbox.com which are all owned by the same person; torrentspy.com; niteshadow.com as well as  site ed2k-it.com and  search engines—nzb-zone.com, binnews.com, and dvdrs.net.

The lawsuits mark the first time that the MPAA has targeted Usenet related sites; in the past the MPAA has only brought action against sites who actually hosted copyrighted material or who assisted in the running of the networks used to distribute it.

Generally, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) limits the liability of search engines for providing links to unauthorised copies, so long as the site operators do not know the content is infringing, are not making profit from the distribution of copyright works, and remove links when requested by copyright owners.

It is thought that the DMCA limitations will not apply to the sites targeted as they are allegedly filled with almost nothing but copyrighted movies, software, and music.

Isohunt.com, one of the search engines targeted, provides a copyright statement claiming that "We respect copyright, and will filter such P2P links at your request".

Al Askari Mosque bombed in Samarra, Iraq

February 24, 2006

Explosions at the Al Askari Mosque in the Iraqi city of Samarra at 6:55 a.m. local time (0355 UTC) February 22 ripped through the mosque, destroying the northern wall which shattered the golden dome.

No injuries were reported from the blast, but sectarian violence has broken out in the region after the attack on the Shi'a holy site.

The attack
The Interior Ministry reported that four bombers entered the mosque, one in the uniform of Iraqi Security Forces. Two bombs were planted, which went off in the morning. The blasts damaged the northern wall and caused the dome to collapse.

Police originally feared there may be victims buried in the rubble.

The mosque is one of the most holy sites of Shi'a Islam as it holds the remains of Ali al-Hadi and his son Hassan al-Askar, the 10th and 11th Shi'a imams. The grandson of al-Hadi was the 12th imam, the "hidden imam" Muhammad al-Mahdi whose shrine stood adjacent to the Mosque.

Violence after
Within hours of the blasts, Sunni mosques had been attacked or set afire. An association of Sunni clerics reported that ten imams had been killed, and that 15 were kidnapped by Shi'a protesters.

Overnight gunmen in police uniforms seized 11 Sunni men from a prison in Basra and killed them.

Thursday's violence escalated after the protests on Wednesday. In the single deadliest incident, 47 people were killed at a roadblock in Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad, as they were returning from a protest. In Baquba, at least 16 were killed in a suicide bomb attack in a crowded market.

Atwar Bahjat, correspondent for the al-Arabiya network, and two local journalists were kidnapped and killed leaving Samarra.

CBC reports as many as 168 mosques have been targeted, both Sunni and counter-counter attacks on Shi'a.

Response of the Shi'a religious leadership
Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani called on Shiites to take to the streets, but peacefully. "We invite the faithful to protest and express their condemnations, on the violation of their sanctities, by peaceful means," says the online message from his office. "We stress upon everyone going through the shock of this atrocious crime not to be drawn into what the enemies want them to be drawn into, which is sectarian discord"

"If its security institutions are unable to provide the necessary security, the faithful are able to do that by the will and blessings of God," the Grand Ayatollah said in a separate, written, statement, suggesting the armed Shi'a militias may be deployed to protect other holy sites if the government and the U.S. troops are deemed incapable of doing so.

Response from the Iraq government
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani appeals for calm to avoid a "devastating civil war". Reports in televised news conferences indicate that initial investigations point to "infiltration" of the Iraqi Security Forces.

Thursday declared a day of national mourning.

"The main aim of these terrorist groups is to drag Iraq into a civil war," Iraq's national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie told al-Arabiye television.

"Anti-democratic forces have tried everything to push the country into a civil war and sectarian violence," Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said today in a phone interview with Bloomberg. "This is the biggest challenge we as Iraqis face, and efforts are under way to prevent it."

World wide response
Ashraf Qazi, the United Nation's top envoy to the region, has said he will ask the country's political and religious leaders to hold a dialogue moderated by the U.N.

President remains most popular politician in Romania

February 24, 2006 The president of Romania, Traian Băsescu, continues to be the most popular politician in the country, according to a survey by the Romanian Centre for Urban Resources (CURS). The survey shows that 63% of those interviewed have a good or very good opinion of the president. Even though this result is better than the 60% approval rating he received in October 2005, it is lower than the 71% approval he obtained in June 2005.

The second-most popular major politician is the opposition leader and head of the Social Democratic Party, Mircea Geoană, who has an approval rating of 47%. He is trailed by the Prime Minister, Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, with 44%. Gigi Becali, the leader of the New Generation Party, recorded the largest increase in popularity, with an approval rating of 30%, in comparison to the 20% he achieved in October 2005.

The survey also looked at Romanians' opinions towards the major political parties. 42% of the respondents stated that they would vote for the governing Justice and Truth Alliance, made up of the National Liberal Party and the Democratic Party. 25% stated that they would vote for the Social Democratic Party, while the right-wing Greater Romania Party would receive 14% of the vote. Both of these parties recorded decreases in popularity. On the other hand, the New Generation Party and the National Initiative Party gained in popularity, with the New Generation Party attracting 4% of potential votes.

44% of the people interviewed believe that Romania will join the European Union in January 2007, as scheduled, while 18% think that the safeguard clause will be activated, postponing accession until 2008.

Arroyo declares state of emergency due to coup attempt in Philippines

February 24, 2006

Filipino president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared a state of emergency Friday following reports from security forces on a foiled coup attempt. Arroyo's emergency powers allow arrests without warrants and the extended detention of prisoners without charges.

Brigadier General Danilo Lim, the commander of the 1st Scout Ranger Regiment, an elite military unit, is being held following accusations that he intended to join his troops with anti-Arroyo protestors. The troops were reportedly planning to inform protesters that the soldiers were no longer supporting Arroyo hoping that this news would foment an uprising against the president.

Arroyo has forbidden protest rallies, but more than a thousand Filipinos attended rallies anyway (Bloomberg.com says "thousands of Filipinos"), and police broke up a couple of rallies on Edsa, the main street of Manila, as they were heading downtown (to Makati), with shields and nightsticks. The Filipino peso dropped 1.1% vs. the US dollar, its biggest decline since 2002.

The crisis comes during the weekend when the country is recognizing the 20th anniversary of the "People Power" revolution that ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who fled and stayed in exile in the United States.

This is not the first time Ms. Arroyo's regime has survived attempts at deletion. At the beginning of her presidency, supporters of the ousted President Estrada stormed Malacanang and demanded Arroyo's resignation. Later, in 2003, 300 soldiers took over a hotel in Manila in another bid to topple Arroyo. People have alleged that the Arroyo administration engaged in corruption and failed to keep the economy stable. Arroyo won the 2004 election, but some people accused her of doing so by cheating. Those allegations led to an attempt to impeach Arroyo in September 2005, which failed.

Six teenagers die in car accident in Victoria, several others injured

February 27, 2006

Six teenagers were killed in a horrific road accident near Mildura in north-western Victoria, Australia late at night on February 18.

Cassandra Manners, aged 16, Stevie-Lee Weight, 15, Cory Dowling, 16, Shane Hirst, 16, and his sister, Abby Hirst, 17, died at the scene. Josephine Calvi, 16, was flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where she later died of head injuries. Seven other teenagers were injured, including 15-year-old Marco Medici who is now in a stable but critical condition in The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne.

The accident occurred after the teenagers left a 16th birthday party and walked along Myall Road, Cardross, south-east of Mildura. A car allegedly came speeding around a bend, hit the gravel on the side of the road, lost control and struck the group. The alleged driver, later identified as 34-year-old Thomas Graham Towle, fled the scene on foot, leaving his 10-year-old daughter and four-year-old son in the car. Towle was later arrested by police in Redcliffs. He was taken to Mildura police station for questioning.

Towle has been charged with six charges of culpable driving causing death, four charges of negligently causing serious injury, one charge of failing to stop and one charge of failing to render assistance after an accident. Towle faced Mildura Magistrates' Court on February 20. Magistrate John Dugdale remanded him into custody to reappear before the court on June 26.

Meanwhile, the town of Mildura and surrounding areas is in deep mourning. Premier Steve Bracks said the State Government will provide $AU40,000 for counselling and support services.

Around 3,000 people attended the funeral for Josephine Calvi today. Funeral services for the other five teenagers were held last week.

Generally we put links to the sources at the bottom of the article, not inline in the text. I'm sorry the captcha is making things slow for you; we're doing what we can to keep things working quickly. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 19:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Thai snap-election set for April 2, 2006

February 24, 2006 In the face of mounting pressure and a hostile political climate in urban areas, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has announced the dissolution of the lower house, the House of Representatives of the country's parliament.

The move follows an audience earlier today with the King at the Dusit Palace and is despite defiant statements yesterday that the PM would neither step down nor dissolve parliament. An increasing number of voices have questioned Thaksin's suitability to hold the office of Prime Minister, with a petition to the Constitutional Court and a student-led petition for his impeachment contributing to the political uncertainty.

The Prime Minister announced the decision in a live TV broadcast, offering to "accept and respect the public's decision" in the forthcoming election. Following discussions with the Election Commission of Thailand, he stated that the election – required to be held within 60 days – would be on April 2. This should lead to the Lower House reconvening on May 2. Election of a Prime Minister and appointment of Cabinet ministers would be the first item of business.

Protestors who are planning a mass demonstration at Sanam Luang in Bangkok this Sunday are undeterred by the move. According to Suriyasai Katasila they will protest anyway, aiming for resignation "because Prime Minister Thaksin is the centre of the problem".

Welcome to wikinews!

I've just spent a fairly large amount of time and money attempting to verify the story. I have been unable to gain either confirmation or non-confirmation. Until there is further evidence that this article is not a hoax, please do not re-create it the main namespace. You are welcome to create it in a username space page, to further develop it.

Repeated recreation of deleted content is grounds for a block on Wikinews. This constitutes a warning. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 17:55, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I've taken this to Arbitration. You apparently cannot follow links or read. Several other sources lay claim to the veracity of the story. Your time and money (???) are better spent elsewhere. You suck.

You are blocked
You are blocked for 2 hours for repeated article recreation.

Just as an FYI: I have called the courthouse(s), as well as the offices of the lawyers involved in the case. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for Arbitration
I have noticed that you have requested arbitration between yourself and Amgine. I would like to suggest that you look at dispute resolution as a means of resolving your issues. If I can be of any assistance please let me know - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 03:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Your request for arbitration has been declined by the Arbitration Committee. Please pursue the steps in WN:DISPUTE. Please let me know if I can assist you in this matter. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
