HP in phone record pretexting scandal

September 13, 2006

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is embroiled in a scandal over the alleged illegal investigation of its own board members over leaks from the board to the press. The company admits that it hired private investigators and that they used pretexting to get private phone records of its own directors. 'Pretexting' is where someone pretends to be the customer when calling the phone company to get their phone records. It is illegal in the state of California.

The aim of the HP investigation was to find out which director(s) had leaked information to journalists. Venture Capitalist investor Tom Perkins resigned from the board on May 22, 2006 over the issue and requested that HP look into the methods used in its leak inquiry. The Federal Communications Commission is looking into phone companies who may have supplied the phone records illegally under California law.

Two small studies indicate mandarin oranges may lower risk of liver cancer

September 13, 2006

In two separate studies, Japanese scientists have shown that eating mandarin oranges may decrease the risks of various diseases, including liver cancer, arteriosclerosis, and insulin resistance. In one study, conducted at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, patients with chronic viral hepatitis were divided into two groups. The experimental group, consisting of 30 people, drank one cup a day of a specially prepared drink containing mandarin orange juice and added carotenoids. The control group, consisting of 45 people, did not. After one year, none of the patients in the experimental group had any signs of liver cancer. In the control group, four people, or about nine percent of the group, had developed liver cancer. The researchers plan to continue the study for five more years.

In a second study, performed by researchers from the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science and headed by Minoru Sugiura, 1,073 people from the town of Mikkabi, Shizuoka were monitored. The townspeople are known for their high consumption of mandarin oranges. An analysis of certain chemical markers in the blood of these people revealed a lower risk of liver disease, arteriosclerosis, and insulin resistance.

The studies are being presented during a four-day symposium called "Functional Foods and Health", which is part of the 232nd national meeting of the American Chemical Society from September 10 to September 13, 2006. "Functional foods" is the name given to foods that can fight various diseases, including cancer and heart disease. In all, more than 50 papers are being presented at the symposium.

Commenting on these studies, Cathy Ross, a cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said that the studies confirmed the beneficial effects of fruits. "The more types of fruit and vegetables you can include in your diet the better."

In light of these studies, mandarin orange is being called a "super food", according to the Belfast Telegraph.

Speaking for Cancer Research UK, spokesman Ed Yong stated "These studies are far too small to tell us anything conclusive about whether mandarin oranges protect against liver cancer." He also stated "Cancer Research UK recommends eating five daily portions of fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced diet to reduce the risk of cancer. But it is unclear if any specific fruits have particularly strong benefits."

Style Guide
Thanks for your contributions on the style guide, but in future please discuss changes to pages flagged as policy. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * he did. –Doldrums(talk) 09:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * But the changes seem more extensive than seems to have been discussed. Last night there where changes to WN:SG, WN:CG and Writing an article. --SVTCobra 17:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * My mistake, will discuss on talk pages first next time. I did add in a reference to the original discussion on the Wikinews_talk:Style_guide page. Also perhaps I could have been clearer that I was updating both for the length and the new article tips. And also when I went to integrate the tips section I discovered that they fitted better in the other pages so that is why I editted those rather than shoehorning them into the style guide.

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 Michael614. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Michael614~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 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Two small studies indicate mandarin oranges may lower risk of liver cancer

Maybe this title is too exuberant. Thousands of studies a year show a potential benefit or danger in eating this or that. Usually they aren't taking seriously until they've been backed up multiple large scale studies. 99 percent of the time or more they don't pan out. TRWBW 04:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Feel free to rename to something more appropriate. --AlexS 04:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

changed the content too, tried to make it more balanced
I separated out the facts from the opinions and added a skeptical opinion to balance the positive opinion and the neutral opinion. I admit, I've got a bias towards skepticism, prefering keep it low key until the scientists weigh in on it. If I've gone to far, feel free to fix. TRWBW 05:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks good, thanks. --AlexS 12:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

51 killed in Yemen election rally stampede

September 13, 2006

A stampede in a stadium in Yemen, where President Ali Abdullah Saleh was holding a pre-election rally, killed at least 51 people and more than 230 were injured.

Most of the dead are children as some 150,000 people had gathered. The stampede occurred when people where trying to leave after Saleh finished his speech.

The incident happened at Ibb, about 180 kilometers south of Yemen's capital, Sanaa.

Saleh has said family members of the victims will be compensated with a monthly salary.

Saleh who reversed his earlier decision not to re-run for elections has been in power since 1978 as President of North Yemen and then head of the unified Yemen after North and South merged in 1990. First independent elections were held in 1999 in Yemen.

US Air Force chief proposes using non-lethal military weapons domestically

September 13, 2006 Nonlethal weapons being developed by the US Air Force may be used on citizens to help control bad crowd-control situations, as proposed by the Chief of the Air Force. This would also stop some safety considerations before being used on the battlefield.

"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation," said Secretary Michael Wynne. "(Because) if I hit somebody with a nonlethal weapon and they claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think that I would be vilified in the world press."

The US Air Force has spent a large cut of its budget for nonlethal weapons research, but Wynne says that money shouldn't be largely spent until injury problems are reviewed by experts, and resolved. Some weapons can also be used to disable small electronic devices, which is because of a small electronic beam emitted from some of the weapons.

Wynne also said the Air Force, which is already chopping 40,000 active duty, civilian and reserves jobs, is now struggling to find new ways to slash about $1.8 billion (€1.4 billion) from its budget to cover costs from the latest round of base closings.

The base closings were originally planned to create savings by reducing Air Force fees by 24 percent.

HP Chairman Patricia Dunn to resign

September 13, 2006

Hewlett-Packard has announced that the chairman of the company's board, Patricia Dunn will resign in January, following revelations that private investigators hired by the board to discover the source of media leaks had used false identities to obtain telephone records from service providers.

Chief Executive Mark Hurd will replace Dunn as chairman, though she will continue to remain a director on the board.

Bill Lockyer, California's Attorney General has indicated that company insiders are likely to face criminal charges.

George A. Keyworth II, a board member, accused of leaking information said he resigned only after Dunn agreed she would give up her post.

Those hired by the investigation company pretended to be others, a practice known as pretexting to obtain the phone logs of board members and journalists.

London Police seize massive gun cache

September 13, 2006

In raids that were part of Operation Mokpo, police seized a massive weapons haul from a suburban house.

Officers from Britain's Metropolitan Police arrested a 55-year-old man after two houses and a business were raided in Dartford, South East of London.

The firearms include hundreds of shotguns, semiautomatic guns and automatic weapons.

Operation Trident officers and Polsa (Police Search Advisor) search teams carried out three search operations early morning though majority of weapon was found in a three bed room house.

"This is the biggest firearms haul we have ever had," Det. Chief Superintendent Kevin Davis said. "Guns are mounted on every available wall space in the property and live ammunition was found lying on the floor."

A simultaneous operation is underway in New Jersey, USA.

This was the biggest success for Operation Mokpo, launched 18 months ago after a series of shooting by rival gangs in North London.

Explosives found in Malegaon, Nashik, India

September 13, 2006

Police in the town of Malegaon have recovered explosives from a yellow container placed in the Mohammadiya Madrassa shopping complex on Kidwai Road. A bomb disposal squad has been rushed to the site, and the surrounding area has been cordoned off. Officers from the Anti-Terrorist Squad, along with IG P.K Jain and Superintendent of Police Rajyawardhan, are also at the site. Jain, however refused to confirm whether the device was a bomb, saying only that it was a "suspicious looking container with wires and a battery attached to it." He said that if it was indeed an IED, police would either attempt to defuse it, or detonate it in an isolated area.

Meanwhile, police in Nashik have seized 11 detonators, 5 blasting gelatin(gelignite) sticks and a revolver from a building named Raj Sarthi. At least 38 people were killed and over 180 injured on 8 September, when three bombs went off near the Hamidia Mosque during the Shab-e-Barat festival. Although the communally sensitive town has so far been quiet, officials have once again declared an alert in Malegaon.

Talk:US Air Force chief proposes using non-lethal military weapons domestically

I just read the AP story, it makes no mention of Air Force troops being used within the US, just the nonleathal weapons. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

There are two likely interpretations of this story: Neither is obviously the case here. Not even clear the speaker knows himself!
 * 1) LA riot style use of troops, or
 * 2) allow purchase by police departments

By linking the wikipedia articles on Inserection Act, you allow the reader to find out about the relevant U.S. law. One might also mention wheather any such weapons have particularly secret aspect; making them unlikely to be made available to police.

 * Read the sources again and agree that there is no mention of using Air Force troops, only Air Force developed weapons. Removed that section as irrelevant. TRWBW 22:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

You don't understand the issue at all: Military Aid to the Civil Power IS why these weapons are developed. i'll try to clarify.
 * I'm removing the section, although I think you should add it back if you can find sources that clearly show that this proposal is linked to attempts to change or work around the laws you mentioned. If, for example, you can find a speech by the AF chief saying that air force troops should be used for law enforcement, I think it would add a lot to the article.

Pope Benedict XVI criticises Prophet Muhammad's teachings

September 13, 2006 During a theological lecture at the University of Regensburg, in Bavaria, Pope Benedict XVI criticized the idea of jihad. He opined that the mujahideen and the jihad they are fighting "(goes) against the nature of God". The Pope said "Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul". He quoted Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, who said, "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached".

The Pope also criticized the Western world for alienating other cultures and "excluding God".

Talk:Pope Benedict XVI criticises Prophet Muhammad's teachings

I don't think it is relevant as that the biography that you referenced said that membership in Hitler Youth was required by law, therefore he was not a member by choice, he was compelled by the state to join. The article you referenced also said he was an unenthusiastic member. As he was in seminary before and immediately after the war I don't think that connecting the Pope to Nazism has anything to do with this story. I shall remove that from the aritcle again. Not that I'm a fan of the Pope, but this is the news, not a place for you to springboard your opinion of the pope. Without him actually saying that being in the Hitler Youth influenced his view on the world, you cannot be certain that it does. Therefore you are not maintaining the journalistic integrity of the article and therefore lowering the quality of Wikinews. Bscottbrown
 * As I have already mentioned, mentioning the Pope's Nazi history will provide background information as to his (possible) POV regarding non-Aryans. If you wish, we can add the "unwilling" and "compulsory membership" to the sentence. If you keep reverting changes without consensus, you will end up violating the 3 revert rule. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 16:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I believe that I have consensus, look at the other edits. Bscottbrown 12:09 EDT 13 Sept 2006

 * I'd remove this bit. Saying he was a member of the Hitler youth doesn't say anything more than that "he lived in Germany as a boy while the Nazi's were in power". Is there any hard evidence that he supported the Nazi's, and further hard evidence that this support influenced his statements? If not, it's not relevant to this particular article. TRWBW 23:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
The Pope did not attack Islam he attacked Islamic extremism, a very diffrent thing. His main attack was on the idea of Holy War. The tone from his talk seems to be violence is bad, not Islam is bad. The source does not mention jihad at all, so the reasonable assumption is that he is referring to all violence in the name of religion. There is also only one source, and the source is kind of poorly written and biased. --Cspurrier 15:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * OK then, let's say the Pope attacked "extremist" Islam. By the way, though I cannot at present find an online source for this, the TV channel Timesnow says he quoted Crusaders in order to insult the Prophet. That seems to be a pretty clear-cut attack on Islam. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 16:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

That is the opinion of Timesnow that he quoted the Crusaders to offend the Prophet, but you don't know if that was his intent. It's pretty obvious that you are biased against the Pope, maybe you should not write articles about a subject you have a bias for or against. Bscottbrown 12:09 EDT 13 Sept 06 ---It seems Benedict is attacking Islam after all. Perhaps the title should read "Pope attacks jihad, Prophet"? PVJ(Talk) 16:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I am not biased against the Papacy, in fact I quite admired Pope Jogn Paul II. However Benedict XVI seems to be much less tolerant than his predecessor, and you will agree with me that there was absolutely no reason for him to offend millions of Muslims by quoting Crusaders who insulted the Prophet. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 16:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I went home at lunch and did some research. Check out CNN (I don't have the URL for the stories, but if you search Pope Benedict you'll find the articles) he has made similar statements in the past before his papacy, I think you might be able to make the focus of this article that quote you put in below.  That seemed very inflamatory, stirring up trouble with Islam.  If you made this quote the main focus of the article, then I think you should put in the Hitler Youth reference.  I retract my statement about your bias towards the Pope.  Bscottbrown 12:42 13 Sept 06 (EDT)
 * Thanks for taking the effort. I have put in the Youth Hitler thing, but to be fair it has to be mentioned that membership was compulsory and that he only joined unwillingly. Making the quote the focus seems more NPOV to me than "attacking Islam", whilst not compromising on accuracy.PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 17:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "'Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'"

 * I agree. The Pope's quote is pretty inflamatory.  Bscottbrown 12:13 EDT 13 Sept 06

ah, then I agree. Let me see if I can edit it into a more neutral viewpoint than the original author had. If he changes it back, what do we do? I'm new to Wikinews, is there a deletion process we can go through for this article. I'm mostly worried about how people perceive Wikinews' jounalistic integrity. I like this source of news and this forum and I don't want it damaged by it picking up a slant towards one viewpoint or another. Bscottbrown 11:20am EDT 09/13/06

OK, I think I have it edited so it presents a NPOV. What do you think? Bscottbrown -11:20EDT, 13 Sept 2006

Publish
If you flesh it out just a little further, I think it will be ready to publish. Bscottbrown 13:45 13 Sept 06 (EDT)

Some comments
1. "Attacks"? "Lashed out"? Criticizes, yes. But attacks? "Lashed out" has a negative connotation. Did he really lash out? What is the source?

2. "the Prophet" in the article's title is not clear. Mohammed, yes. Or "the last prophet of Islam", but that might be too long for a title.

3. The title is unclear. "attacks jihad, quotes against" sounds like he is attacking the quotes.

4. "Holy Struggle" is again not clear. Islamic holy struggle or jihad.

5. The reference to Hitler Youth is irrelevant and biased, as others have explained. Is there any evidence that he ever had or supported Nazi views? The implication is that he is anti-Muslim because of his Nazi past. --AlexS 19:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * His Nazi views are a result of his (understandable) opposition to the creation of a Jewish regime on Muslim soil.What (justifiable) grievance has Kommandant Ratzinger got against Muslims? None, other than the usual Crusader mentality. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 10:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

just the facts ma'am
Maybe we can cut through the NPOV problem by just giving the facts: what the pope said, leaning towards giving his full quotes and the context he made them in. Any responses to his speech would also be relevant. I don't think the hitler youth issue needs to be here, unless he made reference to hitler in the speech. TRWBW 23:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * We have already mentioned that he was an "unwilling" Nazi, there is no need to hide that fact. Ratzinger's statements were blatantly anti-Muslim, and insulting to the Prophet, that is their context. All of this has already been sorted, there is therefore, no need for any trolling. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 10:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it was completely resolved. I can't speak for anyone elses position, but as I see it his membership in the hitler youth isn't relevant unless it can be linked to his speech. Since he didn't mention hitler or nazism either directly or indirectly, I just don't see the relevance, unless you can find a NPOV source that connects them. TRWBW 11:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

fyi
An attack on holy war IS an attack on Islam, as its a fairly central concept, and he does mention Mohammed specifically. otoh, There are plenty of western muslims who have changed the meaning of jihad to be purely spiritual. And its obviously not an attack on their beliefs.

Pro-Crusader POV pushers.
Although these issues were satisfactorily sorted out yesterday, it appears some pro-Crusaders are trying to push anti-Muslim POV into this article. That will not be allowed to happen for the following reasons:- 1)The Pope is/was a Nazi. That fact must be mentioned so as to provide a background as to how his views on non-(white)Aryans might be biased against them. 2)The aforementioned Nazi has launched a cowardly, unprovoked attack on the Prophet and the major world religion preached by the latter. That is an attack on Islam and must be exposed for what it is. 3)The Nazi tried to veil his attacks by quoting Crusaders, that does not mean we should twist words to mask the anti-Muslim hate-sermon. 4)Yesterday, another (possibly Christian) user-BscottBrown and I had a discussion regarding the article and it was decided that 1)The offensive quote must be mentioned in the title, 2)The man's Nazi history must not be concealed. 5)All issues have already been sorted out and the article will remain in its present state. Any unilateral attempts to POV it will result in action being taken against the offenders. PVJ(Talk) 10:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * To claim the Pope is a Nazi seems unreasonable, and is not pertinent to the article. I removed the addition of this information as it was weaselly worded. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed the title too. I was worried that it implied he critisized Mohammed's preachings in general, when from my reading his critisism was limited to jihad and forced conversion. TRWBW 11:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ratzinger was a member of Hitler Youth, which (one would assume) does make him a Nazi. His Aryan-supremacist background is pertinent to an article that deals with his attacks on Islam. As for the Nazi critising "only forced conversions", I have explained below why such an interpretation would be inaccurate. PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 12:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems you understanding of what the Nazi said is erroneous.

PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 12:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Whether Muhammad was a prophet is disputed by non-Muslims, and it would be inappropriate to call him "Prophet Muhammad" without qualifying it. Would "Benedict XVI criticises Muhammad's preachings on jihad" or "critisises concept of jihad" or "critisises concept of 'Holy war' and forced conversion" be better? How do we express what the Pope said clearly and concisely? TRWBW 13:14, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * ummm... Prophet Mohammed is  Prophet Mohammed, whether non-muslims like it or not. Doldrums 13:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, that was just my opinion, if there is a specific wikinews policy on this, my bad. Personally, I'm happy to refer to him as "Prophet Mohammed", happy to refer to Sun Myung Moon as "Humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent" happy to refer to Jesus as "Jesus Christ, Son of God" or not to name ****** not at all, but instead call him "the Lord" as the Jew's prefer his name be unspoken. I'm for calling people whatever they want to be called, but worried that it might seem an endorsement of a particular religion's point of view to use a title that implies something factual. But I'm more than happy to defer to other people's views on this. TRWBW 13:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As Dennis Miller would say, 'sorry to go off on a rant'. Fine by me. TRWBW 13:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Should the title say 'His Holiness the Pope, Benedict XVI...' or 'Servant of the Servants of God, Benedict XVI...'? TRWBW 13:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

latest NPOV
I'm concerned that the inclusion of the hitler youth reference and the title violate NPOV. The hitler youth seems irrelevant, since there is no source relating it to the speech. The title seems to me to imply a more general critisism of Muhammad's teachings, when the speech seemed to be very specifically focused on jihad and forced conversion. TRWBW 12:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * For the last time, we have mentioned the "compulsory membership" and "unwillingness" aspects of his involvement with Hitler Youth. The reason for including details of his Nazi past have also been explained to you. If you continue to disrupt Wikinews by reverting changes in this regard, action will be taken against you. I am unaware of how fluent you are in English, so let me explain to you what this statment means:"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached".. Your (Nazi) Pope is quoting a Crusader who claims that everything new that Prophet Muhammad brought (including the religion of Islam) is "evil and inhuman". One of these (remember the words such as) "evil and inhuman" things is "his (the Prophet's) command to spread by the sword the faith he preached". That is clearly a cowardly, obvious attack on Islam. I hope you understand now the meaning of that quotation? PVJ(Talk)[[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 12:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Whether what you said was 'for the last time' is your opinion, which you are welcome to. Whether the Pope was generally attacking Muhammad's teachings, and whether his being a member of the hitler youth is relevant, are opinions too. Unless you can find a NPOV source that backs them up. TRWBW 13:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You know what his views are on Islam, I know what his views are on Islam, the whole Muslim world knows what his views are on Islam, so why don't we just stand back and wait for a response from the millions of people whose religion he insulted? Whether or not you try to hide his Nazi past in this article is not going to make that big a difference to the end-result, is it?

Remove Nazi Reference Please
The inclusion of the Nazi youth comment is irrelevant to this news item, as has been stated. The 'shamefulness' of any comments made by the pope is irrelevant to the article as well as irrelevant to the inclusion of the Nazi Youth comment. This is a news site, not a site on which to write editorial pieces aimed at discrediting or maligning anyone. There are comments in this discussion to the effect that if someone did something inflammatory or shameful, then suddenly the article can include selected details of a person's life that, while holding no real relevance to the article at hand, make the person look bad. This is certainly not the case! Any attempt to use Wikinews to sway public opinion in any way is inappropriate! It must end.

I have seen this so often here, on this site that prides itself on the ability to have articles with high levels of 'journalistic integrity' that it makes me wonder if perhaps it would be better if there were another outlet available for attempts to sway public opinion, such as an editorials section, rather than polluting all news items with such attempts.

66.173.103.222 12:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * i see no direct relevance of B-16's Hitler-youth membership with the present quote. for wikinews to claim that such a connection exists is Original Research, and such OR needs to be vetted by editors, made NPOV and validated by a wording that editors can agree upon (i certainly don't see the agreement, at the moment). it would be far better, in my view, to balance the Pope's statement by drawing on responses to it by Islamic clergy, scholars, ...etc than to attempt to establish our own reasons for why he made the statement. the sources i saw also report qualifiers for his statement, saying he emphasized that he was quoting, (but did not indiacate whether he agreed or disagreed with the quote) and also, a vatican spokesman issued further "clarifications" about it, all of which, i think, shld be incorporated in the article. Doldrums 12:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you provide a link to that Vatican statement? Also, the "not- agreeing-with-the-quote-but-mentioning-it-anyway" tactic is nothing but weasel-wording at the Papal level. Anyway, I have wasted far too much time arguing with trolls on this article, the (Muslim) world knows the facts of the case, and will doubtless take action against the Nazi for his cowardly attacks on the Prophet.

Notice.
As you may be aware, I was already considering temporarily leaving this project some time ago. The blatant attempts by some trolls (who have collectively created less articles than I have) to justify the anti-Islamism preached by the bigotted Nazi has led me to lose faith in the neutrality of Wikinews. I have no desire to write for a project whose members try to protect gutless racists who make unprovoked attacks against a Prophet who is respected by millions of people around the world, including me. For that reason I shall not be starting any articles for some time to come. I am sure however, that TRWBW, AlexS and the rest will be more than capable of making up for the article deficit that will be caused as a result of my protest.

 * Don't wave those bits in public, substitute Dali Lama for Pope and see if you'd be determined to mention that he was involved in some compulsory state organisation when he made critical statements about the extreme sects within another religion. Don't assume people have no memory, you remember the Hitler Youth aspect of Benedict's past so others will as well.  Leave people to come to the conclusion that there is a link on their own rather than lead them to it.  This "factoid" is covered in the Pope's biography on Wikipedia where I'm sure they've spent a great deal of time working over how to word it.  There simply is no basis within a wikinews article to juxtapose events from when a man was a teenager with now, unless you are trying to lead people to a conclusion of your own choosing.  PJV, you have made it crystal clear in the comments here and on my talk page that this is what you are trying to do.  It isn't part of the cornerstone of policy that is WN:NPOV, so stop it and quit saying you'll leave because of it. There may be some basis for saying people have not made an effort to understand your point of view, but all you've actually explained is that you hold the current Pope in contempt and would like to see Wikinews (in violation of WN:NPOV) express that sentiment on your behalf.  --Brian McNeil / talk 14:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't wave those bits in public- interesting statistics, but might I remind you that I joined Wikinews about 15 months after you, and in the span of less than 5 months published over 50 articles (which is, I assume, about as many as you have written)? By the way TRWBW seems to be violating POINT, something needs to be done about that. I do not mean to lead anyone to a "conclusion of my choosing", although I would not be entirely against someone who chooses to lead this Pope to his "conclusion". PVJ(Talk)(Articles I have written) [[Image:Flag_of_India.svg|25px]] 14:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I couldn't agree more. As an administrator, if you think I've violated a guideline, of course you should take action. It's good that wikinews has administrators who, when they see a user who is being a problem, do the right thing. What's the procedure from here? I'm pretty new here, but my guess is I should expect to see a dispute posted on the dispute page? Or is there another mechanism? TRWBW 15:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Since I am currently involved in a discussion with you, I do not want to take any action against you. I advise though to remember not to disrupt Wikinews to make a point. thenews.com seems to have some articles about the conflict in Pakistan, though its neutrality as a source might be debatable. For reasons already mentioned, I shall not be writing any articles for some time to come, so if I find an article (from a neutral source-preferably from outside the Subcontinent) I will inform you so that you can create an article based on it.

He did agree with it.
I DEMAND that the sentence "without agreeing or disagreeing" with the quote of the Byzantine Emperor be changed to "agreeing", because there is no way that he would quote such a statement that carried alot of hate and racism during a speech where HE talked about jihad in a disagreeing way and then not agree or disagree with it, then why did he say it? did he just feel that it was a nice touch! We are talking about the head of the church, a person who's speech is written and revised by hundreds of churchmen before he would read it loud, in this kind of speeches there's nothing that is not agreed or disagreed with, AND YOU KNOW THAT HE MEANT AND AGREED WITH IT.213.189.65.211 09:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)ToTo

 * I completely agree with 213.189.65.211, I consider that phrase weasel-wording and have removed it.

Hello, perhaps my comment is long overdue, but I find that an unbiased article should allow readers to form their own opinion, in this case by linking to a transcript of the Pope's original lecture: an Italian version for example is at http://www.oecumene.radiovaticana.org/it1/Articolo.asp?c=94879. — 81.211.169.59 21:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Australia stingray deaths possible revenge for Steve Irwin

September 13, 2006

Following the days since Steve Irwin died of a stingray attack, at least 10 stingrays have been found dead on two Australian beaches, with their tails cut off. While it was reported that fishermen occasionally cut the tails off stingrays they accidentally catch to avoid being stung, however, state fishery official Wayne Sumpton said that this practice was "uncommon".

It is suspected that these killings were done in revenge for Irwin. "That's the last thing Steve would want," said Michael Hornby, a friend of Irwin. However, other sources point out that fans of Irwin would generally not commit such actions.

In general, stingrays are not aggressive and will not attack unless provoked.

Meanwhile, a public memorial service for Irwin is planned next week.

20 injured in Montreal college shooting spree

September 13, 2006

At 12:41 p.m. local time (UTC-5), a man opened fire at Dawson College, in Westmount, Quebec, Canada; the college is located near the heart of downtown Montreal. Police report at least 20 people being injured. The gunman was reportedly killed at the scene by police. Students told reporters that they heard several shots in the building at about 12:45 local time. One student told a local radio station that she saw two people who had been shot, including one who was hit at the neck. The student said a friend told her four people had been shot.

Hundreds of students fled the building, and the area has been cordoned off. Nearby Plaza Alexis Nihon and Westmount Square were evacuated and the Green line of the Montreal Metro was shut down between Lionel-Groulx and Peel. Police officers wearing bullet-proof vests are keeping people away from the college. "They're telling me, 'Go the other way, lady, you're in the line of fire,'" said CBC News reporter Nancy Wood, who reported from the scene.

Local media have reported police hotlines have been established for loved ones to gain more information: +1-(514)-280-2880, +1-(514)-280-2805, and +1-(514)-280-2806. The Montreal General Hospital has also set up a hotline at +1-(514)-843-2839.

Police have reported that the situation has been neutralized as of 20:06, September 13, 2006 (UTC). Police have been told to stand down and are no longer looking for new victims or shooters.

Dawson College is a CEGEP that hosts about 10,000 students.

Gunmen
Earlier reports suggested that there were between two and six gunmen, however, reports are generally that there were two, maybe three. Police have only confirmed that there was one gunman, Kimveer Gill, who was shot dead "after police intervention,". They will not say anything about additional shooters. A close witness to Gill's last moments reported being used as a shield during the shootout with police officers, who allegedly hit Gill in the arm. The shooter would then have turned his weapon on himself.

The gunman was Kimveer Gill, a 25 year old Laval man. He was carrying three guns: a Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine, a Glock 9mm handgun, and a Norinco HP9-1 sawed-off shotgun.

Up to 20 shots were fired over a period of 30 minutes.

Casualties
Police have indicated 20 people have been injured in the incident. CBC reports that 16 people are injured, and 2 have been killed, including the gunman. Montreal General Hospital officials have stated that 11 people have been admitted with gunshot wounds, 8 of them in critical condition. A spokeswoman also stated that 3 others were taken to Jean Talon Hospital and two others were taken to the Jewish General Hospital. The spokeswoman went on to report that most of the injuries are to the abdomen and limbs, and one victim with an injury to the head.

Title?
Why not "20 shot by gunman at a Montreal college"? terinjokes User Page / Talk 22:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * It isn't particulary accurate as it has only been reported as 20 injured not 20 shot. Some of those injuries could have been caused by other occurances such as people running away. Gothesque 23:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, disregarde that, I misunderstood what you meant. Your suggestion makes more grammatical sense to me but I'm still not certain that the current title is appropriate/accurate. Gothesque 23:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree, the title is not very appropriate at this time. 20 people being shot is unconfirmed, and may be subject to change as it may be an incorrect figure. But it beats me what to name it. -- Reaper  X  00:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Update?
Okay, its been two days now, and so some of the facts have emerged. Now I am new to Wikinews (I'm normally just a Wikipedian), so I am unsure: Do we update this article so it has hard facts or do we leave it so it has the "preliminary report" tone? -- Reaper  X  18:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Phone numbers
The phone numbers listed on the page appear to me as strange... since when do we have a + in front of our numbers in Québec, or even in Canada?

 * The numbers have been "internationalized" with a country code, "1" being North America's country code.

US stocks rally to four month highs

September 13, 2006

After substantial gains yesterday, U.S. stocks rallied again this afternoon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 11,543.32, up 45.23 from yesterday and reached a four month high.

This despite the fact that crude oil showed a slight rebound today of 21 cents, closing at $63.97 a barrel after seven days of losses. The increase came after the U.S. Department of Energy reported that crude oil inventories fell more than expected last week.

Condoleezza Rice makes visit to Nova Scotia

September 13, 2006

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay made a visit to MacKay's Nova Scotia riding, Pictou, Nova Scotia, yesterday. Rice spent 23 hours in Canada. She thanked people in Atlantic Canada who helped thousands of Americans stranded when their planes were forced to land in the region. Rice and MacKay travelled together to and from the riding. It was a 90-minute drive each way from Halifax.

At the reception on Monday night, she met with members of MacKay's family, his father Elmer MacKay, a former federal Tory cabinet minister. "Family means a great deal to me ... Wherever you go and whatever you're doing, there's nothing like really strong and great family. They keep you grounded," she told local dignitaries gathered at the Museum of Industry. "They remind you of the things that you did when you were 5 years old, and it's not easy then to lose sight of who you are," said Rice. "And so, Peter, thank you very much also for letting me share some time with your family."

"You don't get four hours of the secretary of state's time even if you're the Queen of England," said an American official.

Rice and MacKay took a stop at the Tim Horton's in Pictou, Nova Scotia.

The mayor, Sandy Cyr, of nearby Westville said, "This is the biggest thing we've ever had here and I've been here for 70 years."

She delivered her message as a two-day visit that focused on thanking Canadians for their support during the 9/11 crisis just five years ago. They discussed a number of issues including border security, Canada's role in Afghanistan, and support for the war.

Parkdale-High Park, Ontario by-election campaign goes negative

September 14, 2006

Voting is underway in a provincial byelection in Parkdale-High Park, Ontario to elect a replacement former education minister Gerard Kennedy who left the provincial post to join the leadership race for the federal Liberal party.

The new education minister, Sandra Pupatello, has accused NDP candidate and United Church Minister Cheri DiNovo of comparing media coverage of Karla Homolka's release from prison to the persecution of Jesus Christ. Liberal candidate Sylvia Watson's campaign has released selected portions of DiNovo's past sermons to claim she supports the ordination of pedophiles and axe-murderers.

Ontario New Democratic leader Howard Hampton defended DiNovo, saying the Liberals are worried about losing the riding.

DiNovo said the remark was taken entirely out of context by the Liberals and suggested she might sue them over it.

Political parties are doing everything they can to win the riding.

Talk:Parkdale-High Park byelection gets harder for NDP MP

Not sure if this title is the best, I'm not great at writing titles. But it seems like the key issue is how negative this campaign has gotten. TRWBW

changed title
Focus of article seems to be how negative the campaign is. TRWBW 02:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Mind changing it again? The current title is a little ambiguous, when I read it it sounded like people were running into red ink. I'd suggest something like "becomes acrimonious"... 68.39.174.238 23:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
