Fifteen people killed in Philippines hotel fire

December 19, 2010 Fifteen people were killed and twelve were injured after an eight hour hotel fire in, Northern Philippines, however police and firefighters managed to save many guests. Reports suggest the deceased sought cover in bathrooms where they were burnt beyond recognition.

After entering the building firefighters were left in tears after finding the charred bodies of guests on the upper floors. "It's so close to Christmas, we wept when we saw their bodies," said fire investigator Daniel Abana. Nine of the deaths were confirmed to be nursing students from a nearby university. The students were in the city to take nursing exams. Nursing college instructor, Romeo Opido, told authorities that 36 nursing students from nearby provinces were at the hotel. Tuguegarao City counselor said, "It is very unfortunate that this happened just when they were about to take their exams."

The other deaths were the hotel owner's and their family, including three children. The cause of the fire is still undetermined although it is known that the fire started on the ground floor and was energized by car tires and other combustible materials. It is also believed that paint cans were still in the building following a recent make over.

'Unacceptable' and 'without foundation': Poland rejects Russian air crash report

December 20, 2010

Poland has rejected a Russian investigative report into the air crash that killed Polish President earlier this year. Poland's first couple and other senior officials were among the 96 killed when their aircraft went down near Smolensk, Russia. On Friday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called an unreleased draft he has seen "unacceptable" and its conclusions "without foundation".

Tusk's televised remarks to the press did not reveal what the report contains, but claimed it to be in breach of the, an international regulatory document on air travel. "From the Polish point of view, the draft report from the Russian side as it has been sent is without question unacceptable. This negligence and mistakes or lack of positive reaction to what Poland has been asking for, all these things allow us to say that some of the report's conclusions are without foundation," he said.

Edmund Klich, who heads the Polish air accident investigatory body, has seen the report and blamed elements in both Russia and Poland. Klich said the pilots had been insufficiently trained and ignored safety, and that Russian  should have diverted the aircraft elsewhere. Visibility had deteriorated at Smolensk's airport prior to the crash, but the 's pilots were determined to get the President through the fog so he could attend a ceremony commemorating the. had ordered Polish prisoners there to be killed during the Second World War.

"I believe the Polish side bears more responsibility," Klich commented, "but of course the Russians had their shortcomings." He has previously criticised Russia's failure to provide air traffic control transcripts from the disaster, which left no survivors. Also on Friday, a Russian foreign ministry spokesman told  Russia is ready to answer Polish questions. He reiterated a need to co-operate and added it is "important not to politicize the situation." Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also repeated calls for co-operation on a visit to Poland last week.

The comments follow the delivery of the draft to Poland by the last month following complaints Russia should speed up the investigation. The crash has caused political controversy in Poland, with the newly-elected President and first lady belonging to, who were Kaczyński's opposition.

 suggests Tusk's remarks may damage improving relations between the countries. Conservative elements within Poland already doubted the veracity of improved relations and have formed conspiracy theories around the crash, citing a perception the Polish government will blindly accept whatever Russian investigators say.

South Korea and US hold joint exercises; North does not retaliate

December 20, 2010

South Korea held joint military exercises with the United States on Monday on Yeonpyeong Island, which was shelled by North Korea last month. North Korea had warned of an "unpredictable self-defensive blow" if the exercises went ahead, but the country did not retaliate, saying it was "not worth" attacking, despite "reckless provocations" from the South.

The United Nations Security Council held an eight hour emergency meeting as tensions escalated on the Korean peninsula before the exercises began. The controversial issue divided opinion within the council; China and Russia both asked South Korea to call off the exercise over fears it could start a war on the peninsula, but the US supported its ally, saying the drills were "fully consistent with South Korea's legal right to self defence".

Officials in Pyongyang had threatened a "catastrophe" if the exercises, taking place on an island close to the border with the North, went ahead. They did not attack the South, however; state media quoted a North Korean military official as saying: "The world should properly know who is the true champion of peace and who is the real provocateur of a war." South Korea had said they would retaliate "immediately and sternly" to any attack from the North.

South Korean officials reported the drills, involving guns and, lasted less than two hours. During the drill, civilians on Yeonpyeong Island moved into air-raid shelters, which, the BBC reported, was part of the planned procedure for the exercise.

Yeonpyeong Island, which, although controlled by the South, is visible from the North, and came under attack from the North last month. Nearly 200 rounds of artillery were fired at the island in the attack; four people were killed and another 14 were injured in the attack. At the time of the attack, the South had been holding annual military exercises with the US. Troops on the island returned fire, firing nearly 80 rounds of artillery, but no damage was reported on the North Korean side.

Why is it I am not surprised that McCain opposes repealing the gay ban?

Could it be because he's Republican and thus anti-progressive or the fact that every single Republican in power is trying to defeat anything any Democrat proposes, especially if its Obama?

Coronation Street at 50
Could I please have some assistance with creating Story preparation/British soap opera Coronation Street celebrates 50 years on air? I was thinking that we could make it into a featured article. The show is hitting 50 years this week! -- Rayboy8 ( my talk ) ( my contributions ) 14:34, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Concerningly inaccurate Wikileaks coverage
I am most concerned at some of the half-assed attempts to cover Wikileaks' cable releases recently.

Early last week I had to completely rewrite one story, fail another and restart it from scratch. Plus, virtually every attempt to cover the issue has been nowhere near Style Guide compliance.

This morning, for the fifth time I've failed the article that mentions PayPal stopping passing on donations for unsourced rumour.

I would like to stress that those writing articles on Wikileaks, or content of leaked cables, should take extra care. Likewise for those reviewing.

Where cables are involved in a story; original research and archive trawling is needed. If you've never done this work before, I doubt you should be attempting it on something as nuanced as 'diplomatic language'. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:13, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

 * As a side note: Wikileaks is releasing the documents so press and the public may examine the original documents. en.WN has long history of preferring an original document over a second-hand source, even a well-respected second-hand source. I believe it would be not unreasonable to expect any Wikileaks story to include citation to the original cables. -  Amgine | t 16:39, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you Amgine! That is a significant part of the point I wished to make.
 * For the Spanish story, I went through all cables released at that time from the Madrid embassy. Then, I went looking in the Google News archives, searched the web in general, and even read some of those 'unreliable' Wikipedia articles. ;-) There are excellent, in-depth, stories to be drawn from the Wikileaks exposé. That requires real research', not regurgitation from the mainstream; consider them simply a pointer to a possible good story and, don't conflate multiple, distinct, stories into an incoherent mishmash.
 * Last point I feel is vital to hammer home: Nobody has yet issued warrant(s) on the basis of treason or espionage. Pay more attention! Don't report echo-chamber gossip that has no factual basis. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Original reporting artices should be moved to user pages not deleted.
I am disappointed my article Ireland and WikiLeaks, Secret - Not for American Eyes was deleted, as the the talk says - I am still waiting for relevant cables to be released. The article should have been moved to my userpage not deleted. At least a note on my userpage would have been a courtesy. Mrchris (talk) 12:26, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Census
I would be indebted to you all if you were to fill out my little census on how active users are here on Wikinews. I have been running a census like this one biyearly on Simple English Wikipedia, and it has proved useful in gauging how active the project is; and it is a useful statistic when fielding questions from interested parties, such as, recently, a professor at the University of Queensland. I plan to run the census again every couple of months in order to build up the statistics over time. Regards, — μ 18:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Oil pipeline explosion kills 27 in central Mexico

December 20, 2010

The explosion of an oil pipeline in in central Mexico has killed at least 27 individuals and injured 56 others. Twelve of the dead are children. Over 100 homes were damaged and at least 30 of them were destroyed. The explosion had an estimated blast radius of three miles.

Describing exploding gas tanks that flew through the air, Carlos Hipolito, who fled the scene with approximately 60 relatives, described the incident to as a "catastrophe". Living ten blocks from where the explosion occurred, 58-year-old Jose Luis Chavez explained that he had heard a minimum of two loud explosions and witnessed flames rising over 10 meters (30 feet) into the air.

It is thought that at the (Pemex)  where the incident occurred, a gang of criminals were attempting to illegally tap crude oil from the pipeline when they punctured it. Valentin Meneses, interior secretary, stated: "They lost control because of the high pressure with which the fuel exits the pipeline."

Pemex has explained that the theft of oil from the pipelines causes them to lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year. , the head of the company, stated that the pipeline section near to the location of the blast was tapped illegally on 60 occasions. He also reported that across Mexico, 550 cases of illegal tapping had occurred.

Expressing his condolences to the families of those that had died because of this incident, Mexican president Felipe Calderon stated that the federal government is to launch an investigation to try to establish the identities of the offenders and apprehend them.

User talk:Shykra~enwikinews

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Shykra. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shykra~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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

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) 06:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Stella English wins sixth series of UK's The Apprentice

December 20, 2010

has been announced as the winner of the sixth series of British television programme . English was announced as the winner by host of the show, businessman Lord, after the final task in which the two remaining contestants, English and , had to create and market a new alcoholic drink.

English commented on winning the programme, saying: "There were times that I felt very tired and it was much harder than I ever thought it would be. But in terms of quitting, there was absolutely no way." She also said after winning the show that she hopes it will bring a "better quality of life" for her two children.

Lord Sugar also released a statement about his decision to hire English. "It's a very, very important job where you need a very, very good organiser and someone who's very, very switched on," he said. "She's got the brain to do it." He added there was a chance of employment for second place candidate Bates. English will be employed at one of Lord Sugar's companies;, a company that deals with IT services.

This series began to broadcast in October instead of it's regular spring slot due to concerns over Lord Sugar keeping his role on the show. Sugar was selected as a government advisor at the same time of the May general election.

Thread:Comments:Major snow disruption in Britain; Wikinews reports from affected village/Something's up

I appreciate that you have gone to lot of trouble to create this article but I feel there is something wrong with the sheer amount of coverage snow gets in the news. The thing that bugs me is that, unlike other news - nothing develops. Hour after hour (I'm refering now to the more mainstream media) of footage of a car struggling to drive up a small hill or people huddled on a platform waiting for a train that plainly isn't coming. The same format too; people struggling about a bit, a mention of some of the very worst incidents etc - some interviews with the ignorant public that seem to only be able to say 'there's no gritters, there's no gritters, there's no gritters' and then some footage of children playing. I'm sick to the teeth tbh; I have a window - I can see this all happening, I dont think it warrents being the main story every day. The on the scene correspondants don't adapt the 'terrible things are happening' tone of voice they use either. The same voice they use for cholera outbreaks in Haiti killings by a crime lord in Africa is used for this white fluffy stuff which puts everyone out a bit as if the snow ought to be combatted or something should be done by the government or the UN.

Local radio tells you which schools, roads and rail lines are open or closed - this is all the information you need.

Sorry about the rant if you've actually bothered to read it but I'm sick of it in the actual news and thought I may have escaped it on Wikinews. Plus I've got a lot of time on my hands - I'm snowed in!

It's not like there's hundreds of articles. One. We've had one.

What's more concerning is that I've just reviewed one article on a British fluff entertainment show, and there are two others in the works. That's something I can see people having good cause to get fed up with.

I know there's only been one on here but I was talking about them in the general media. I meant that I'd hoped there'd be more pressing matters in the world which may warrent the top story on this site. Perhaps I have a gripe because I live not far away from the example case, in Bedfordshire so I feel it ought to be a lower priority story.

This is for the article itself; grumble about lead placement on talk:main page or the talk for the lead template. (I never touch the leads anymore) Or, feel free to update them yourself if you're feeling brave. It all gets checked before going 'live', so you can't screw anything up.

Here in the Eastern Scottish Borders we should be ok, but both here and just South of the Border the handling of the A1 is pisspoor, so I do my annual broken record grumble about it.
