NHL: Avalanche defeat Wild 2-1

March 31, 2007

The Colorado Avalanche beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 with goalie Peter Budaj's 10th win in March, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Marian Gaborik scored the opener for the Wild only 1:21 into the first period, but answered goals from Justin Lilles and Peter Stastny in the second period lifted the Avalanche to victory.

With the win, the Avalanche tied a team record with 11 wins in a month. Budaj had a 10-0-2 record this March, tying the franchise record for wins in any month. It was set by the Quebec Nordiques's Daniel Bouchard in February 1981.

Colorado is five games behind the Calgary Flames in the race for the 8th spot the Western Conference, the last spot for the playoffs. The Flames play the Vancouver Canucks Saturday night and play Colorado Tuesday night.

Minnesota lost its third straight game, jeapordizing their chances in their close race with Vancouver for the Northwest Division title.

Three Stars
1. Colorado: J. Liles 2. Colorado: P. Budaj 3. Colorado: T. Arnason

Mouse makes nest in cash machine, eats money

April 1, 2007

In Estonia, a mouse made its nest in a cash machine and spent the weekend eating tens of thousands of kroons in bank notes. The critter was discovered after a customer making a withdrawal got half-eaten bills from the machine.

At some stage over the weekend the chewed money jammed, and the mouse seems to have spent the rest of the weekend turning the notes into bedding. It probably was attracted by the warmth from the machine and decided to make itself at home.

Experts are now investigating how the rodent was able to get into the ATM.

Oversight or suppression refers to hiding revisions, edit summaries, usernames, or log entries from the public. This access is available to stewards and the staff global user group. Suppressed data can only be viewed and restored by users in these groups, with the exception of Ombuds who may view suppressed data (but not restore it). English Wikinews does not have users with Oversight permission.

This feature is approved for use in four cases:
 * 1) Removal of non-public personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public, or of public individuals who have not made that personal information public.
 * 2) Removal of potentially libelous information either:
 * 3) *on the advice of Wikimedia Foundation counsel or
 * 4) *when the case is clear, and there is no editorial reason to keep the revision.
 * 5) Removal of copyright violations on the advice of Wikimedia Foundation counsel.
 * 6) Hiding of blatant attack names on automated lists and logs, where this does not disrupt edit histories. A blatant attack is one obviously intended to denigrate, threaten, libel, insult, or harass someone.

Requests for oversight
DO NOT put your request on the wiki or broadcast it in public. All requests should be made privately.

First Guantánamo Bay prisoner sentenced

April 1, 2007 Australia Guantánamo Bay prisoner David Hicks was sentenced Friday by a special military court after pleading guilty to providing material support to the Taliban. He was sentenced to seven years in prison, but will only need to complete nine months of his penalty, most of it back in Australia, under the terms of his plea agreement.

Hicks, who has been detained for more than 5 years, is to be transferred to Australia within 60 days. The plea bargain also forbids Hicks from speaking to the media for one year after his sentence, suing the U.S. government for alleged abuse during his imprisonment, or appealing his sentence. The deal also mentions that he should not profit from selling his story. These terms were criticised by Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, as a "modern cutting out of his tongue", with prosecutors using the leverage of a plea deal to stifle information and public debate about the controversial detention process.

David's father, Terry Hicks, responded that he was glad that his son was returning home, but also told Australian Broadcasting Corp.: The bottom line of all this is that at least he's back home. He's out of that hell hole... I believe one of provisos was that he had to sign a form to say he wasn't badly treated. We know for a fact that he was, and I'm going to push that issue.

Prosecutor Marine Lt. Col. Kevin Chenail asked for the maximum sentence, referring to Hicks by his pseudonym 'Muhammad Dawood'. He told the panel of military officers that, "Today in this courtroom, we are on the front lines of the global war on terror... The enemy is sitting at the defense table. We are face to face with the enemy... [who was] trying to kill Americans."

Australian Prime Minister John Howard told reporters in Sydney that: He's not a hero in my eyes and he ought not to be a hero in the eyes of any people in the Australian community. The bottom line will always be that he pleaded guilty to knowingly assisting a terrorist organisation.

Australian Greens Senator Bob Brown suggested yesterday that the speech restrictions in the plea deal were put in place as a deliberate attempt to meddle in upcoming elections. "Of course it's a fix," said Brown. "The message has gone very clearly from Canberra to Washington to Guantanamo Bay: don't allow Hicks to be released until after the elections and certainly don't allow him to speak."

Howard disputed that interpretation of events. "We didn't impose the sentence, the sentence was imposed by the military commission and the plea bargain was worked out between the military prosecution and Mr Hicks's lawyers, and the suggestion...that it's got something to do with the Australian election is absurd."

User:Nzgabriel/The English revolution

April 1, 2007

English is one of the pillars of the Australian nation. It came in 1788, but now we have now received a disturbing report from London. It seems that the European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will become the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. This is conditional on changes being made, which must have an impact here.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Enjoi ze furst of april. Und if zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

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

Strong earthquake near Solomon Islands, tsunami reported

April 1, 2007

A magnitude 8.1 undersea earthquake triggered a tsunami that has killed at least fifteen people, including six children, in the Solomon Islands. Tsunami warnings have been issued for parts of Australia as well.

According to the US Geological Survey, the magnitude 8.0 quake struck Sunday, April 1, 2007 at 20:39:56 (UTC) about 45 km (25 mi) south-southeast of Gizo, New Georgia Islands, Solomon Islands, at a depth of 10 km.

'Disaster' declared in the Solomons
The tsunami was reported as several yards, possibly ten feet, high on the western side of the Solomon Islands and has destroyed at least two villages, leaving at least four people missing and fifteen dead. At least six of those who died were children. The town of Munda reports heavy damage from the tsunami.

"Two villages were reported to have been completely inundated. We have received reports of four people missing," said Solomon Islands National Disaster Management official, Julian McLeod who also said that communication is difficult because most communication lines are under water.

The government of the Solomon Islands reported in a press release, April 2, two confirmed deaths and several others missing in Sasamunga village in South Choiseul. The press release described 10 meters high waves that pushed 500 meters inland. The hospital in Sasamunga village was destroyed by the waves. In addition, nearby villages reported damage to health centres and schools. The premier of Choiseul, Jackson Kiloe, declared his province "in disaster" and called on the Solomon government disaster authorities to contact the province.

Region on alert
Tsunami warnings had been issued for Queensland Australia's Barrier Reef Islands and Willis Island in the Coral Sea, as well as South Pacific states. The earthquake was centred 2145 km North-northeast of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Australia's National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre in Melbourne warned that a possible tsunami could affect Willis Island at 8.30 a.m. (AEST) and Cooktown about 9.30 a.m. (AEST). The Centre later extended the tsunami warning to Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island and the whole eastern coast down to Tasmania. People were warned to exit the water and move away from low lying coastal areas. Afterward, at 11:30 am, all fears of the tsunami were put to rest as the Willis Islands reported no tsunami. All warnings for Eastern Australian coasts have been cleared, with no imminent threat perceived.

Japan's Meteorological Agency is determining whether the Japanese archipelago is at risk of a tsunami, reported the Kyodo news agency.

According to the NOAA/NWS West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre, a tsunami has been observed at the following sites:

 * Honiara, Solomon Island : (9.4S, 159.9E) 0.215m (0.7ft) at 22:52 UTC
 * Port Vila Vanuatu : (17.8S, 168.3E) 0.12m (0.4ft) at 23:27 UTC

The tsunami amplitudes are measured relative to normal sea level, not crest-to-trough heights. Forecast models indicate the tsunami energy will be mainly contained to the south of the Solomon Islands. A bulletin from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC), dated April 2, 2007 01:17 UTC, provided further information. "Sea level readings indicate a tsunami was generated. It may have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicentre and could also be a threat to more distant coasts. Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility."

In addition, the PTWC suggested that "when no major waves are observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat is passed. Danger to boats and coastal structures can continue for several hours due to rapid currents. As local conditions can cause a wide variation in tsunami wave action the all clear determination must be made by local authorities."

Personally, I don't like adding a lot of warnings on users' talk pages. On Wikipedia they put tons and tons of warnings on vandals talk pages. It really doesn't do anything but says that Wikipedia tolorates vandalism and you can get away with it. Thats what I think.... — Fellow Wiki  Newsie  01:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Not really, I've occasionally seen vandals, warn once, they keep doing, it, warn twice they keep doing, warn three times (with final wanring in it), and they stop. If people stop with a warning, they're a lot less likely to start again, then if you just block them straight up (IMO). Bawolff ☺☻ 01:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Children killed during suicide attack in Afghanistan

April 2, 2007

As many as five children were killed Sunday during a suicide bomb attack on a military convoy in Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan.

The children were close to the convoy when it was hit. Police said two soldiers and two civilians were also killed, and several civilians injured. Local witnesses report that over a dozen were injured in the bombing.

The convoy was moving through Mehtar Lam, the capital of eastern Laghman province, when a car packed with explosives detonated near the Afghan army vehicles. Mehtar Lam is approximately 100 km east of Kabul.

The Afghan soldiers were traveling back to their base after assisting citizens affected by recent flooding, according to an Associated Press contact in the defence ministry.

Nicolas Cage spotted in Washington DC filming National Treasure sequel

April 2, 2007 Actor Nicolas Cage was seen around various Washington, D.C.-area monuments this week by Wikinews contributor Patrick Mannion, filming the sequel to 2004's National Treasure. He was seen on March 28 outside on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, sitting in his chair talking with a director. Cage has also been seen in the company of costars from the earlier film. The Memorial was closed to the public by police and park rangers while filming took place.

The sequel to the 2004 film, entitled National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets, is currently filming through April 16. In addition to the Lincoln Memorial, crews were also spotted along the Capitol's small Reflecting Pool, outside the White House, and in Layfette Square.

The District of Columbia hopes to see a large economic return on the film by granting the long-term filming rights and a financial incentive to keep filming in Washington on-location, instead of doing principal photography and then moving to another city where production costs are cheaper.

Talk:Nicolas Cage spotted in Washington DC filming National Treasure sequel

I caught of glimpse of him in DC, I fill in the rest of the details when I'm out of the shower!

More or less that was it, he was there on the 28th, I got maybe a dozen photos of him at maximum zoom on my camera from the front so they came out a bit crappy. They had to close the memorial to fliming for about 15-20 minutes or something perhaps longer, I got there towards what must have been the end of fliming. Police and park rangers said we couldn't go up until fliming was done. More or less, tossed in some extra sources from WRC 4 and the DC Examiner to prove it and plus give some more info to make the article a bit longer. --TUFKAAP 03:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Good OR
This is overall very good OR and I've seen film crews some times. This is also very good because there is a photo. Usually, I'll drive somewhere and then see lots a trailers on the movie set but I've never got this close. Good job. — Fellow Wiki  Newsie  22:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

New Zealand PM drops in on Microsoft

April 2, 2007

Prime Minister Helen Clark of New Zealand visited Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Seattle last week. She was welcomed by CEO Steve Ballmer, senior vice-president and CFO Chris Liddell, a New Zealander, and Microsoft New Zealand managing director Helen Robinson.

During the visit, they looked at ways technology could help the continuing growth of New Zealand's economic development. Ms Clark also examined Microsoft's newest productivity software, mainly including offerings in the areas of video conferencing and online collaboration tools. "There is no comparison" between Microsoft's technology and that of the Beehive, Clark said after the meeting.

This disparity she blamed "unquestionably" on the state of New Zealand broadband Internet access, which still uses the outdated copper 'local loop' system. She also referred to the importance of fibre optic networks, which "some are now calling the 'fourth utility'."

Mr Liddell responded that despite New Zealand being behind in some areas, "...the rate of change is such that that is not really such a big issue. ...I don't see New Zealand at a disadvantage and one of the great things about New Zealand is we are early adopters of technology. Attitude is as important as current status."

"We have got what is radical telecommunications legislation reform, but you can't stand still and think that will do the trick either. We have got a lot of technological challenges but I think the will to address them," Ms Clark said.

Unlike other guests, Ms Clark was not given a copy of the new Windows Vista during her visit. Instead, she was given a glass plate and a paperweight.

The visit to Microsoft follows her meeting with United States President Bush.

New video of captured British troops aired; protests at UK embassy in Tehran

April 2, 2007

Iran state television broadcast a new video of two officers among the fifteen British sailors and marines seized by Iran last week.

Yesterday, Iranian students demonstrated in front of the British embassy in Tehran over the incident.

Demonstrators threw stones, firecrackers and a smoke grenade but were prevented from entering the embassy compound by police. No damage was reported and no one at the embassy was injured. The BBC's correspondent on the location reported that the protestors were hardline Islamist students from Tehran University, who chanted "Death to Britain" and called for an apology from the UK for the incident and putting the seized soldiers on trial. Protestors also carried banners saying "finally wipe Israel from the face of the Earth".

The new video shows one of the servicemen, Royal Marine Capt. Chris Air, pointed to an area on a map where Iran says they were when the British troops were arrested.

"We were seized apparently at this point here on their maps and on the GPS they've shown us, which is inside Iranian territorial waters. And so far we have been treated very well by all the people here. They have looked after us and made sure there's been enough food and we've been treated very well by them, so we thank them for that," said Air.

Lt. Felix Carman is the second serviceman to appear in the video. Carman was also showing viewers where they were detained by Iranian forces.

"[It is] completely unacceptable for these pictures to be shown on TV," said a British Foreign Ministry spokesman, echoing previous statements from the Prime Minister Tony Blair and Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett.

On March 23, the fifteen sailors and marines from the frigate HMS Cornwall were inspecting a ship, in what the UK identified as Iraqi waters, when they were surrounded by Iranian gunboats and taken into custody. Iran claims the UK forces were in Iranian waters, though they have released the 15.

Seinfeld on HBO award: "Awards are stupid"

April 2, 2007 Stand-up comedian and sitcom star was "honored" Sunday in an  TV special entitled "Jerry Seinfeld: The Comedian Award," hosted by CNN's  and featuring fellow comedians, , and  as panel members.

A several minute recording of Seinfeld's stand-up started off the event, but the focus was on the panel discussion. Topics included Jerry's decision to re-enter the world of stand-up comedy post-', his and Shandling's first gigs on ', and the panelists' typical methods for creating and presenting material. Klein also shared colorful anecdotes regarding his late mentor,.

Though the Las Vegas ceremony was taped in 2005, for reasons not known its inaugural airing was not until now, several years later. Although HBO executives claim it was not originally intended for broadcast, the panelists referred to the event on-camera as a "TV show".

Perhaps some of Seinfeld's derisive on-camera commentary is to blame for the delay. "Your whole career as a comedian is about making fun of pretentious, high-minded, self-congratulatory, B.S. events like this one," he explained in his cutting acceptance speech as Cooper laughed uncomfortably with the crowd. "I really don't want to be up here."

This, after long-time colleague Robert Klein praised Seinfeld's lack of reliance on "mean-spirited" or "vulgar" humor. Klein sought to draw contrast between Jerry and Seinfeld co-creator, whose  generates laughs from the sociopathic behavior of David's character.

Explaining that he and the other panelists were only in attendance because they owed HBO for getting them their starts, Seinfeld seemed to prove Klein wrong. "Awards are stupid," he said repeatedly. "It's a jerk-off."

The show's debut was April 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and it is also available on HBO's On Demand service.

Twins announcer Herb Carneal dies at 83

April 2, 2007

The Minnesota Twins are ready to take the field for their season opener Monday, April 2, but they will be doing it without their legendary radio announcer Herb Carneal. Carneal died at age 83 in his Minnetonka home Sunday of congestive heart failure. He had declared a week prior to his death that he would not announce the season home opener due to health concerns, but was hopeful to make a return later in the season.

Carneal's death marks the third consecutive year in which the Twins have started the season with a loss of someone close to the organization; veteran public address announcer Bob Casey died March 28, 2005, and former Twin and Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett died March 6, 2006.

"Herb Carneal's voice was the signature element of Twins baseball for multiple generations of fans. Clearly he was one of the most beloved figures in Minnesota sports history. The Minnesota Twins will proudly dedicate the 2007 season to the memory of Herb Carneal," Twins President Dave St. Peter said. Last year, Twins uniforms bore the number 34, in dedication to Puckett; to mourn Carneal's passing, the Twins will wear black arm-bands, until a more permanent uniform patch can be designed.

In 1998, Carneal cut back his schedule to only include home games, thus avoiding travel, and he was only scheduled to announce 36 home games this season. A 1996 winner of the Ford C. Frick Award, Herb Carneal announced baseball for 51 seasons, and was the "voice of the Twins" since 1962.

Comments:Sydney holds voluntary one hour blackout

Sydneys Solution to Global Warming
wow! one whole hour! that'll fix the problem.

what if everyone turned off everything for one hour once a year?! you could even do it at the same time as daylight savings time! Pair the two together, and we'll reverse this thing in no time!!

Once a year, we arbitrarily adjust our clocks, and at the same time, turn them off!! its brilliant. Yay sydney for being the world leader in fixing global warming by turning some stuff off for an hour.

If a guy just got six other guys to stop using their cars for a year, they would have done more than Earth Hour. What sensationalist hype.

Wikinews talk:Image use policy/New wikimedia policy action plan/FAQ

This is good, but is also at the same time bad. It is completely one-sided and not necessary true. I would like cites and proofs for this Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 11:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * all of it? maybe u can note what bits are suspect, or tag those bits. –Doldrums(talk) 11:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * i saw the one comment u placed. –Doldrums(talk) 11:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * This is where I agree with BrianNZ. (Based on placement of his comment.) We should not be changing the image on an archived story unless it is a copyvio. If we have a publicity photo in use on an archived article it should remain.  New articles should not reuse the image, but minimal changes should be made to our stories.  Personally I'd rather see images removed than replaced as I feel it is deceptive to alter the archive. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you feel this is true even if we make it clear from now on in articles where fair use is used that the images may be replaced post-archiving?--Eloquence 14:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not so easy to answer. My take on this from an archive perspective is that if we use a non-free (but fair use) image because we can't find anything better when the article is published then it should stay on the article.  If at a later point a free alternative is found it should be used on all new articles, not changed on existing articles.  This is down to us being a news source; the story should look the same as it was shortly after publishing. This is where I and a few others stick on this.  An article on Wikipedia has to be consulted regularly to obtain the most up to date information.  A news story is a fixed piece once published for a day or so.  This allows for media on Wikipedia to be superceded by free media.  On Wikinews I believe we should obsolete (i.e. cease using on new material) instead of editing our archive. I cannot accept that if one of our readers comes back looking for a story in ten years time a publicity photograph current at the time of the article has been replaced with a free image taken five years later. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * i too don't like replacing images in archived articles, and would be inclined towards replacing a non-free image with a note saying "image removed for blah" rather than with a different free image. –Doldrums(talk) 14:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that any change to archived content is mostly a matter of disclosing such changes appropriately to the reader. If, on the other hand, any publicity photo condemns us to avoidable fair use to eternity, I'd rather then kill such uses altogether.--Eloquence 14:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * the thing with images is that since the old image is deleted, the reader has to essentially take our word for the assertion that the new image says pretty much what the old image does. she has no way to verify hermself. further, changes to the content of archived articles made only because the news organisation now wants to do things differently goes flatly against the whole idea of archiving and historical documents. with image removals (no replacement), i tend to think it along the same lines as deleting a belatedly discovered copyvio image from an archived article, and noting the deletion in the article.  –Doldrums(talk) 14:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

A lot of the confusion in the above is based upon the false premise that if a non-free image is used in an archived story, we must remove the image from the story. I suggest that editors read the FAQ again, because it clearly states that there are three courses of action in such a situation. The image can be removed from the story; the image can be replaced with a free content replacement; or an appropriate fair use rationale for that image in that story can be found. Now we have several stories that require attention in this regard. We have some stories that are over a year old at this point, such as Witnesses of fire in Vladivostok under investigation, where the "breaking news" images have not been replaced or suitably licenced, per policy. Archiving is not a get-out clause for not adhering to our copyright policy. A copyright problem is a copyright problem, no matter how long ago it occurred. "But we've archived the story." is not a defence against infringement of copyright in one of our stories. Uncle G 14:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think there's any confusion in the above. If an image is a copyright violation it should go.  If you bring it up on WN:DR nobody will vote to keep it.  There is an implication from Eloquence's statement that the objective is to phase out fair use over time.  You can do that on Wikipedia, you can't do that here without editing history. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * i don't think anyone is arguing that archiving trumps everything, including copyright laws. (i, for one, explicitly said so above). the concern is the following. we're not comfortable with replacing a non-free image with a non-identical free image, as it would change the content of an archived article in an opaque way. so either we find a fair use justification, which i don't think is likely for many non-free images we have. for eg. i don't think our use of IRIN images constitutes fair use, we use it because they are released with a broad, but not free, license. these images serve our purpose very well - we won't have good alternatives to many of them in the foreseeable future. so the resolution will mean that wikinews will have to remove some (many?) really valuable images from its archived articles - and people are understandably concerned and looking for a way out, if one exists. that's not the same as saying archiving trumps copyright policy. –Doldrums(talk) 15:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The fact is, it is wrong to change archive policy. If we allow imaged to be changed, then lets put the whole WN:ARCHIVE up on DR, as its no longer needed. I also have found it very rich that both Eloquence and Uncle G, who were good users in the early days, but have not really edited for years, feel free to come in and tell us "this is it, live with it".
 * I strongly support our right, to still use images released to the press (and yes, some are copyright, for example New Zealand Government released images are Crown Copyright), and if this current right is been taken away, we are no longer a news site, and the WMF should just pull the plug.
 * And Brianmc is right, if its a strongly copyright vio, it won't be saved, when its on DR, but they should not be replaced, ever.  Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 19:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. Taking the right for a new agency to publish semi free material is like taking every image and flushing it down the toilet. 100% free images, in regards to a news agency, cannot always be free. It is not possible and there is no logic to take that right away from a news agency. Would you like Wikinews to start paying for images? As for archives...history is history...policy is policy. I already stated WN:NOT "articles are NOT a work in progress but rather a historical document." We cannot rewrite history nor the image, especially if an OR image, and replace it with an image of someone or something taken 5 years before or after the event. That new image has nothing to do with the current news at the time it was published...aka  DragonFire1024 20:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * "Not edited for years"? You may want to check your history there. Moreover, the constant implication that unless you are feeding your edit count on a regular basis, you're not a "contributor" is rather disturbing. Wikinews is part of a Wikimedia family of projects. There is no single contributor to Wikinews who is putting more time into Wikimedia than I am. So cut it with the constant insinuations that one is not a "regular contributor" if one hasn't been actively part of this particular Wikimedia tribe for a few months. It is jarring, and it is offensive. Brian, you know better than to take the debate to this level.

 * Archives are not sacrosanct. I defined the initial archive requirement. If I hadn't done so, I doubt many people would even care about it now. There is nothing wrong with replacing an image in an archive, if you clearly explain why you have done so. If, and only if, the information value of the free image is not equivalent, fair use in the long run is justified. However, in many cases, fair use is only invoked to get a quick image of some celebrity or politician. The lighting conditions and the perspective are usually irrelevant. If, on the other hand, the photo shows the politician hitting protesters with his cane, then it's a historical photograph, and a mere portrait does not carry the same information. This should be the decisive criterion.--Eloquence 02:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I take offense to a Wikinewsie, who does little to improve Wikinews, who is an administrator, elected to enforce Wikinews policy as well as assist the communtiy, and participate in community forums, who makes decisions for Wikinews policy without informing the Wikinews community or asking them to vote on policy, which is what we are supposed to do. Thats more offensive than telling someone they don't contribute enough. DragonFire1024 03:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * And so? Maybe it shouldn't be. And instead of scrolling and such, instead of waving us off like you did with this policy, you need to listen and actually do something about what we have to say. If you are to represent Wikinews for the people/users then it is your duty. We have the power to elect and de-elect. that means we have a say whether you or the board like it or not. Now I compromised by relicensing more than half of my content but yet you have yet to describe to anyone what an EDP is and where it is and what we need to do with it. That seems unfair. So wikinews maybe part of the foundation, but so are these images. DragonFire1024 07:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I've spent hours of my life debating this issue with you, hours I will not get back. Whatever you accuse me of, you have punished me more than enough. Reality is not going to change based on you not liking it. That goes for Wikinews being a WMF project as much as it goes for images that are your own work being ineligible for fair use exemption. The "ED" in EDP stands for "Exemption Doctrine", which is just a fanciful term for "fair use" (it is not called "Fair Use Policy" because other countries do not recognize it under that name).--Eloquence 11:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikinews talk:Important images not directly linked that if are deleted you will incur many peoples wrath

To clear some confusion: There is currently a replication lag of 1 days, 4 hours, 45 minutes, 24 seconds for en.wikinews on the toolserver - "the database is up to date" is misleading, it only checks against de.wikipedia. Until recently, that was OK, because all databases except en.wikipedia where replicated from the same place, so they had the same replication lag. A few weeks ago, this was changed, so we now have three master databases, and thus three different replication lags, for en.wikipedia, 20 or so large projects (including de.wikipedia), and "the rest" (including en.wikinews). I should change the replag-display of the tools soon - wiki-specific tools already show the "correct" replication lag once you have selected a wiki, but CheckUsage et.al. should probably show all threee replag values, always. -- Duesentrieb / 217.234.230.147 11:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Woman charged with offering her child for sex

April 2, 2007

A 33-year-old woman is arrested and charged with child sexually abusive behavior as she offered an undercover investigator to take pornographic pictures of her young daughter. She also offered the investigator to have sex with the 7-year-girl, authorities say.

The woman is was charged with five crimes, including child sexually abusive behavior, use of the internet for child sexually abusive actions, and distribution of child sexually abusive material, according to Wayne County Sheriff's Department spokesman John Roach. The woman was also charged with prostitution since she propositioned the investigator herself, and it is known that she advertised herself online as a prostitute. If found guilty, the woman would face up 20 years in prison. The child and four siblings, aged 12, 11, 9, and 6, have been placed into protective custody.

The woman was arrested on March 30 when she took her daughter to a hotel near Detroit Metropolitan Airport where she was to meet the investigator who agreed to take pornographic photos of the girl for a fee. After the woman met the investigator, she offered him to have sex with her daughter for additional money. Also she offered the undercover investigator herself for a fee, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Sheriff Warren Evans says that this is "truly a horrifying case" and thinks that offering ones' own child for sex is "impossible to comprehend". The name of the woman was not made public in order to avoid identifying the girl and her four siblings.

Russian scientist: Iran could create nuclear weapons
In an interview with Reuters, Russia's Secretary of the Public Chamber, President of the Kurchatov Institute, and a leading nuclear scientist, Yevgeny Velikhov said: "From a scientific point of view of course they could create nuclear weapons," and pointed to how the United States had underestimated the amount of time it would take the Soviet Union. "I consider biological, chemical and nuclear arms should be forbidden and that the holding and development of nuclear weapons should be considered a crime against humanity," he said.

I am Jamie (a nickname for James).

Thanks in advance!
To all of the nice folks who are kind enough to quickly revert vandalism to my userpage. Hopefully, I'll be able to repay your kindness someday.

Wikipedia Activities
Favorite activities include counter-vandalism and anti-spam patrol; I also attempt to mediate POV disputes from time to time and mix in a little bit of Wikignome sorts of edits. I need to get back in the habit of weighing in at WP:AFD and WP:RFA, but work and home projects have been keeping me busy.

Externally
I live in a nice place and enjoy running. I own a "terrier mix" dog, a tabby cat, and several V8 automobiles, including a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, a 1965 Chevrolet Impala, and a 1999 Lexus GS400. I am an indie rock nerd and an information junkie. I also enjoy Dubbels, Double bocks, barleywines, and the color orange.

Currently in the CD changer: Mew's first two albums; Rob Crow's latest solo record, and The Shins newest Wincing the Night Away, all quite excellent.

Two best movies I've seen recently; Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men. So how about them Mexican directors? If you liked the two aforementioned films, check out other movies from Alejandro González Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón. Every film I've seen from those three has ranged from good to excellent.

I'm also a sucker for anything that David Lynch puts out, including his daily weather reports. Mulholland Drive and the Twin Peaks series have featured some of my all-time favorite film imagery.

I don't care much for most television, but Scrubs is very funny!

This is my favorite category

Props to Master of Puppets for the page redesign
