Halonen and Niinistö neck-and-neck heading into Sunday's run-off election in Finland

January 27, 2006

The latest poll from Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat in co-operation with Gallup puts the two remaining candidates - incumbent president Tarja Halonen (Social Democratic Party) and former minister of finance Sauli Niinistö (Coalition Party) - in a dead heat, heading into the second and final round of the Finnish presidential election on Sunday. 51% of the respondents supported Halonen, while 49% supported Niinistö. The result is within the margin of error at 3%. Approximately 24% of those questioned refused to state who they will vote for.

Previous polls had given Halonen - who received about 46% of the votes in the first election nearly two weeks ago against runner-up Niinistö's 24% - a larger lead, though the movement is within the margin of error. In a poll conducted by Finnish TV channel MTV3 on Tuesday Halonen and Niinistö were supported by 55% and 45% of the respondents, respectively.

The Finnish presidential elections are completed in at most two rounds. If no candidate receives a majority of the votes in the first round, the two top candidates compete in a run-off election two weeks later.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:German Wikipedia to be printed

The german wikipedia really has it made. (yes I know, no off topic coments on talk page. I'll shutup now.) Bawolff ☺☻ 19:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * "100 volumes of about 800 pages each," sign me up! (oops, I don't read German!) -Edbrown05 07:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I have to wonder at this Der Spiegel notion. Hot off the press has lost meaning with the internet "revolution" (right term?). -Edbrown05 08:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, that raises a question though: Is it okay to sell something which is intended to be given away for free, for prices beyond the material costs? And if there is a company trying to profit from information intended to be free for the masses, by the masses, does that conflict with any licensing/copywrite agreements of wikipedia?

 * It boosts the level of trust in Wikimedia and its projects. "If people are willing to pay for it, then it must be good enough for me to take for free." Wikipedia's license purposely leaves such for-profit wide open. We essentially want as much of our content out there, we don't care how. --  user:zanimum

Wikinews:Weather poll

Closed: This poll is closed, after very little activity in 5 months (and no guidelines for closure)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but killed our wether bot, and the replacement that Amgine is working on is close to completion, but not completed yet. I don't think this is technicly possible at the moment. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Right. I am aslo working on it with her. The graphics and such. But we have everything else, we should have weather too. Jason Safoutin 20:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It was not commons who killed it but some unknown change in mediawiki that broke the bot. If someone wanted to spend a little bit time debuging (and had some .net programming skills) there is very little reason why the bot could not be restarted. BTW Amgine is a him :) --Cspurrier 20:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * LoL i know..,.but for some reason, when I first joined, I pictureed HIM as a girl...based on just looking at the SN. My bad... Jason Safoutin 20:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Then how come it stoped after all this its not the right way to do weather discussion at commons? Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 20:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Have a nice weekend
Best wishes. Neutralizer 23:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

On complaint resolution and the realities of effective interaction
MrMiscellanious, for consideration. You have, in the past, refused multiple request from multiple users to specify identifying details that exist outside of your own mind for complaints that are enforced by your use of community granted abilities. I make this declaration as a means of forcing you into either modifying your identification methods for functionality or to set myself as opposed to every possible future instance of and excuse for only making inadequate explanations for complaints raised and most importantly against your refusal to clarify them adequately when told of their ambiguity by multiple persons as a means of providing you impetus for such change. This is for your benefit and for the benefit of the community in the long term. I accept any required procedural censure provided that such censure is based on community authority and not attempted vengeance against what may only be misunderstood to be any attack against you. Once this matter is settled, I hope to work with you for the improvement of this project. The following has not been written as a statement of revolt against any of the Wiki projects, against any characteristics of WikiNews, or against you personally, and applies only in regard to your actions as an editor and as a means of reminding you of the necessity of adequate identification and to make you aware of the harm done to the community and to the functioning of the project by your present refusals to adequately explain or identify your complaints by any line detail:

I declare that I will make efforts to understand your complaints on articles I am involved in editing in the future in every conceivable way but that when identification of their meanings are inadequate for their resolution and if requests for appropriate clarifications are ignored or refused by you, that I am forced to ignore your complaints until the are so adequately identified and must continue to do for each and every one until they are so adequately identified as to be acted on for their resolution, in which I will take part where ever I am able to. Opalus 01:46, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Gday Mr M. Re: BHP halts operations after mine death in Western Australia "Coal mines in the United States' West Virginia district were also suspended earlier this week, due to increased amounts of miners' deaths." Can you get supply a source for that statement? Thanks, --elliot_k 01:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that! --elliot_k 14:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

You are not entitled to do so
Please be specific with respect to your claim of POV and unsourced. Please note that you have removed sources. StrangerInParadise 21:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

You are not, in your capacity as an admin, an arbiter of POV. Your statement, I am not here to debate you. is especially out of order. I have made today to this article two reverts,
 * one of Amgine when he stepped on my edits (that is, he reverted me)
 * one of you, when you reverted me

You have made two reverts just now.

I grant you the comment on potency is unsourced, but common knowledge and easily remedied with a source.

My edits (#205658 to #205676) are not reversions, as they preserve the bulk of Amgine's edits, but restore certain material removed in error. I am happy to discuss the matter, but will pursue with aggression any further abuse of power on your part. With respect to your threats, I refer you to policy re when blocking may not be used.

StrangerInParadise 22:11, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

"And you may not be aware, but if there is basis for a block that is supported by policy, it does not matter who performs the block"
 * -MrM

Plase cite authority, that appears to be untrue. Also, cite where, as an admin, you may arbitrate POV unilaterally and without explanation, or where this may be enforced with the block. StrangerInParadise 22:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

4 days
Hi,

why the block of Stranger for 4 days? Our policy is to block for 24 hours in cases of 3RR violations.--Eloquence 22:33, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * THis needs to be looked at. How can user's follow policy when Administrators fail to? - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 00:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * the block for four days seems a bit iffy on following the policy notwitstanding that its his second offense (not enough for me to revert it, but iffy). Note MrM responded to eloquence's origional question on Eloquence's talk page. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 00:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Also note that the block has been reduced by another admin to 12 hours. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That really doesnt change the fact that the original block was not supported by policy - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 01:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't unblock him, Brian McNeil did. I personally think it should be 24 hours though as theres no provision in policy for extending blocks because of neumours offenses for a 3RR violation. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 04:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I was initially forgiving in reducing the block to 12 hours, overly so as it turned out from Stranger's attitude in IRC. The original block could be qualified if applied as "disruption", not as 3RR which has an upper limit of 24 hours.  I think continuing to place disputed material into an article which has an  tag on it qualifies as disruption.  As does Stranger's marked reluctance to accept the validity of the views of others. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

about WNN

 * I read the page called "about WNN", but what about Commons ??? Jacques Divol

Please review NSW Article and comment on talk page
There are several threads towards the bottom. I've asked that no aggressive edits occur prior to discussions, and that no publication occur prior to consensus. Note also that I have placed the cleanup flag, and haven't given my chop to remove it. StrangerInParadise 06:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Moved question
Apologies, question formerly misplaced. Will you clarify the meaning of "the proposal in whole" segment of your comment in the first vote on the addition to 3RR policy currently in progress? The initial suggestion subject to discussion made by Borofkin is not what is voted on there, only the detailed singular change listed in bold is what is voted on there, if I read Brianmc's poll post correctly. Are you opposed to it or are you mistakenly still continuing on that initial suggestion made by Borofkin? REF: Current addition to 3RR Opalus 23:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I would like to put it(Pennsylvania terrorist story) back to "develop"
as Chiacomo did yesterday with this notation; "develop -- until editors work this out on the talk page". However, first I need to know whether I am allowed to do what Chiacomo did or whether I will be blocked? Neutralizer 13:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

You are blocked
You are blocked for 24 hours for disruption on talk page, and encouraging a user to violate WN:NOT. I may be reached on IRC, via [mailto:amgine@saewyc.net e-mail], or you may contact me on my talk pag after your block is expired. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 02:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

Eastern Indonesia struck by earthquake

January 27, 2006 A major earthquake occurred at 1:58AM Saturday off the coast of Indonesia. It originated from the Banda Sea, roughly 195 kilometers from Ambon City. The earthquake measured 7.7 on the Richter Scale and occurred at a depth of about 341 kilometers said the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake sent people running for their lives as fears mounted that the quake might have caused a massive tsunami.

But good news came as the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in an e-mail advisory, "this earthquake is located outside the Pacific. No destructive tsunami threat exists in the Pacific Ocean or elsewhere based on historical earthquake and tsunami data."

No deaths or major injuries have been reported as of yet.

In December of 2004, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 struck just off the coast of Sumatra, triggering a major tsunami, killing nearly 300,000 people and leaving millions more homeless.

Earthquakes frequently take place in the area due to it being positioned on a volcanically active region referred to as the The Ring of Fire.

O'Reilly begins using open editing of its books before publishing them

January 27, 2006

O'Reilly Media is opening up editing of its books through Safari Books Online, the company's joint venture with the Pearson Technology Group.

The company is allowing ordinary people to buy access to manuscripts before they are finalized.

Customers are given access to software to that allows them to make notes on the manuscripts, to expose errors, or make suggestions.

The project is intended to improve the content, find technical errors and make sure that examples make sense and are relevant, rather than proofreading. The service is similar to the ordinary nightly builds of open source software projects.

The manuscripts will be updated as the author and editor make changes.

A beta version of the service, named Rough Cuts, has four books available and O'Reilly intends to add up to eight more in the first quarter of 2006.

Customers get an "evolving manuscript", a manuscript that hasn't "been fully edited, subjected to final technical review, or formatted for print."

The books will become available between two to six months prior to the intended publication date.

Talk:O'Reilly begins using open editing of its books before publishing them

This article is not a rehash. Information was obtained directly by the companies involved. --Sfullenwider 00:01, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Do people have to pay to have the right to edit the books? The article isn't very clear on that. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 06:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

This is not an article it is self promotion for the company in question. If they want to advertise than buy ad space.--Tjkphilosofe 12:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Book generation has been a very hidden thing for hundreds of years and now it is being opened. The fact that it is O'Reilly doing it is only relevant in that O'Reilly is a large nonfiction bookseller.  It isn't even remotely an ad.  --Sfullenwider 00:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)  The article is too much like a press release making an announcement.  It is not an unbiased report.--Tjkphilosofe 06:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Original reporting notes
Sfullenwider, could you explain where you learned this information, what you did to research the story? -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * A source of some sort is helpful.Jason Safoutin 19:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Original Reporting.
The information was found directly from the company's websites. Mostly from this press release. This is very frustrating. The admins are going to have to come to a point where they can let go of the constant rehashing or we can simply forget original reporting will ever occur on Wikinews.

This is going to become a real problem, I can see a point where someone is going to get some exclusive bits of information, something that they cannot reveal, and the article will simply die here. There has been a post on my userpage asking for an email address, which I obviously couldn't reveal. I wonder when someone will simply say that an interview didn't happen. --Sfullenwider 23:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I have decided that this article is not important enough to me to fight off the POV problems that I would have to face to explain why it the opening up of editorship is important and newsworthy. I've just about given up on writing serious business articles that are not dry for this reason.

If anyone is satisfied that the article's "sources" (which, as I've said, are a joke for original reporting), then remove the tag, if not delete it. --Sfullenwider 00:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

feature for sale
O'Reilly is selling this feature, access to improve the content of future sales of a proprietary book. -Edbrown05 01:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Manuel Zelaya sworn in as President of Honduras

March 13, 2006

Yesterday saw the inauguration of a new president of Honduras in Tegucigalpa, the nation's capital. Manuel Zelaya, a former bank director and congressman, defeated National Party candidate Porifirio Lobo Sosa in a hotly contested presidential election in November 2005. His Liberal Party, however, still remains the de facto minority in Honduras, since the National Party shares an alliance with the Christian Democrats.

Zelaya replaces former President Ricardo Maduro, who served one term in office from 2002-2006. He inherits a nation that is dealing with serious issues concerning crime and poverty. Maduro established himself as a hardliner towards gang violence in Honduras, most notably regarding the highly dangerous Mara Salvatrucha gang. While he did a great deal to crack down on violence in his term, he also drew sharp criticisms from human rights groups for his methods, which did not include the use of rehabiliation programs.

Zelaya and the Liberals promised such reforms, but he also promised to double the Honduran police force during his tenure, as well as create 400,000 jobs between now and 2010, when his term expires. He has also stated his support for a new free trade agreement with the United States, in addition to planning new policies to improve agriculture production, still the primary export of the Honduran economy.

Mr. Zelaya served as a national congressman from 1985 to 1998, and was instrumental in implementing the so-called "Open counties program" which increased decision-making powers of municipalities, a plan he says will grow further during his administration. He has been known as a wealthy landowner who carried himself with a sort of bravado both in Congress and on the campaign trail, often dressed in cowboy boots and Stetson hats. He has also worked in engineering, in addition to his successful careers in agriculture and politics.

FDA approves therapeutic use of insulin inhalant

January 28, 2006

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of an inhalable form of insulin for treating both forms of diabetes in adults. The product, manufactured by Pfizer Inc. is called Exubera and is a inhaled powder form of recombinant short-acting human insulin (rDNA).

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that, when released into the blood, controls the upper limits of glucose presence in the bloodstream. Diabetics cannot produce (enough) insulin on their own, and have to control their blood sugars by appropriate diet, exercise and medication. Untreated Diabetes can have a serious adverse effect on health, it can lead to higher risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, retinal damage and diabetic shock, which can be fatal. Insulin has been used for the treatment of diabetes for many years now, but some patients find it difficult (and costly) to use as it has to be injected into the body, usually several times a day. Currently, about five million Americans take insulin injections. Also, the use of any form of insulin can cause blood sugar to drop below safe levels, a condition called hypoglycemia. As a result, the use of insulin must be accompanied by a careful and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels.

The FDA has issued guidelines that the inhalable form should not be used by smokers, patients with asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema as tests have shown that its use can reduce the breathing capacity of the lungs. Other side effects associated with Exubera therapy seen in clinical trials included cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, and dry mouth. The FDA has given its approval on the basis of safety studies of short-term use and studies of its effects over long-term use are underway.

Pfizer has said the product wouldn't be widely available until June or July and that exact prices haven't been set. A Pfizer spokesperson has said that the price will be "competitive" to injected insulin.

TODO

 * 1) verify drop in vital capacity.
 * 2) verify short-term studies completed.

Dharam Singh steps down as Karnataka Chief Minister

January 28, 2006

Beleaguered Karnataka Chief Minister N. Dharam Singh, of the Congress (I) party, resigned on Saturday, in what appeared to be a bid to avert an imminent defeat on the floor of the house.

Singh's decision came after he was summoned by Governor T.N. Chaturvedi to discuss the constitutional deadlock arising out of his failure to take the trust vote in the assembly on Friday due to pandemonium that led to its indefinite adjournment.

"I have decided to resign after Governor T.N. Chaturvedi expressed his inability to convene the assembly again on technical grounds to enable me to move the trust vote," Singh told reporters. He said he had sent the resignation letter to the governor as he had no other option but to quit.

Singh demitted office exactly 20 months after he was sworn in May 28 as chief minister.

The resignation is expected to lead to a coalition government of the Janata Dal-Secular and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to be led by the former's H.D. Kumaraswamy, son of former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda.

This will be the first time the right wing party, BJP will taste power anywhere in southern India.

US 'Psychological Operations' comes home

January 28, 2006

United States Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld acknowledged in a document called the "Information Operations Roadmap" that the Pentagon's information packages meant for foreign consumption are often "consumed by our domestic audience."

The National Security Archives, a private non-profit research group obtained the document through a Freedom of Information Act request and made it public this month.

"Secretary Rumsfeld's road map says the American people can't be protected from the Pentagon's psychological operations abroad but it doesn't matter as long as he's not targeting the American public. It's the collateral damage theory of propaganda," said the director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University, Thomas Blanton.

The role of PSYOP, according to the document itself, is an effort by the military to "convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals."

Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita said the Pentagon was not comfortable with propaganda "bleeding back" from overseas to the United States. "We're not OK with it," Di Rita said. "First of all, we're not lying. We're talking about truthful, accurate information, so that's baloney." Di Rita said.

The document said that "psyops," are restricted by policy and executive order from targeting US audiences, US military personnel and news agencies and outlets. "However, information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy and PSYOP, increasingly is consumed by our domestic audience and vice-versa."

"Information Operations Roadmap" said in part: "The increasing ability of people in most parts of the globe to access international information sources makes targeting particular audiences more difficult.

Anti-whaling Sea Shepherd crew detained in South Africa

January 28, 2006

After seven weeks in the Southern Ocean disrupting the Japanese whaling fleet, a Canadian registered anti-whaling ship, the, has been detained by South African authorities.

The, its captain , and his crew, have been detained indefinitely. The (SAMSA) have placed a guard on the gangplank and are patrolling the ship.

The Farley Mowat, which sailed from Melbourne, Australia on December 6, was detained in Cape Town harbour, following a request from the Canadian government. A SAMSA official said the ship did not have the required certification.

"They don't have the right certificates for the skipper, the first-mate or the chief engineer," an official said. According to SAMSA, the detention adheres to Canadian maritime laws and followed correspondence from Canada, who requested that the authorities check the ship.

According to Scoop Independent, the ship and crew have been detained due to the International Maritime Organization's ISPS Code. Under Canadian maritime law, both the captain and first officer should be Canadian nationals. Captain Paul Watson is Canadian, First Officer Alex Cornelissen is Dutch.

SAMSA claims that the Farley Mowat was not in possession of an international ship security certificate or a ship security plan.

This means the ship allegedly does not comply with the (ISPS Code) — a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities. The code was developed in response to the perceived maritime threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States.

The official said the detention was in line with Canadian maritime laws and followed correspondence from Canada requesting the authorities check the ship.

However, Captain Paul Watson says political pressure from Japan is behind the detention of the boat. He says he does not have the necessary documentation required by officials as the boat is registered as a yacht and not a commercial vessel.

Confrontation on the High Seas
are currently in the Antarctic catching whales for the Japanese Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR)'s JARPA II lethal research program - a practice condemned internationally by anti-whaling nations. After samples have been taken, the remaining whale meat is sold as a delicacy.

During the last six weeks in Antarctica, the Farley Mowat has intercepted the Japanese whaling fleet, chasing the whalers over 4,000 miles. Sea Shepherd say the whalers spent 15 days running from them, and that "no whales were killed as the fleet attempted to put as much distance between the whalers and whale defenders as possible."

During one confrontation the Farley Mowat crew claim it sideswiped the Japanese whaling fleet supply vessel Oriental Bluebird and ordered it to leave from the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society say they will return to Antarctica in December 2006 with a faster long-range vessel. "We discovered that when we can catch them, we could stop their whaling activities. If we can secure a faster ship we will be able to shut them down completely. We will be making every effort to secure a faster ship so that we can return and intervene more effectively against their illegal killing operations," said Captain Paul Watson.

Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo councilor Dan Goodman say that Australia, New Zealand, and other anti-whaling nations should support Japan's commitment to its scientific research.

Japan announced at last year's meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) this summer its JARPA II program that includes the killing of 935 and 10 endangered.

In 2007-08, Japan will raise its self-imposed kill quotas to include 935 Minke whales, 50 fin whales, and 50. Mr. Goodman said Japan had to kill the whales because certain kinds of data – including how old whale populations are, how old whales are when they reach sexual maturity, how long whales live for, and what they eat – cannot be obtained using non-lethal methods.

"These are the kinds of data required to improve management measures for the resumption of commercial whaling," Mr. Goodman said. "Of course the anti-whaling scientists don't believe this kind of data is required because they do not want to see a resumption of commercial whaling."

Dr Gales, head of Australia's delegation to the scientific committee for the IWC, said after years of research the Japanese should have concluded by now that piked (minke) whales eat krill. "They're asking for support for science that has no support," he said.

Next year, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society say they intend to return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary in Antarctica to do some research of their own; "We need to research more effective law enforcement measures to shut down this criminal operation that is posing as a research project," said Captain Watson.

Our goals

 * 1) To have a variety of articles from lower-league, local and pub teams.
 * 2) To have regular contributors to keep the public up-to-date with their favourite club's recent news.

In detail
Many of those reading the Wikinews football portal, may find that there is a lack of news articles about their favourite club; we're sorry about this, but it's due to the fact that there's only a handful of editors who are constantly adding articles to the football portal. If you wish to add articles about your favourite team, then you are MORE than welcome to add them, but; at the moment, the main contributors are only delivering the major news articles as a means of drawing in more people to add articles about their favourite club.

Our Goals

 * 1) To have upcoming games reported by fan-contributors which allow us to independently get such information.
 * 2) To have extensive fixtures for all leagues from premiership to local.

In detail
We make a conscious effort to make sure all the fixtures outside of the premier league are updated regularly so when you arrive, you can get your fix. However, other leagues, such as your local league or the coca cola league are currently unmanned, and are only updated when main contributors have free time.

Inform us of your local leagues
If you wish to add a local league, for instance, your local pub team league, or your local area league; by all means add it, but please notify us of who the leading body is, and where the results can be verified. If you are absolutely sure your results are correct, then you can simply specify your results are original journalism.

Our Goals

 * 1) To have at least one contributor for each club in the premiership (i.e someone who visits, or watches regularly)
 * 2) To have at least one contributor for each club in the coca cola leagues (i.e someone who visits, or watches regularly)
 * 3) To have contributors which submit league information for a variety of local British clubs. (Pub teams, or local area teams)
 * 4) To have our own independent sources for football data which enable us to have more in depth data.

In detail
When the portal starts to develop an increased user base, then we will be able to have our OWN DATA. This is our plan because we wish to be completely free of legal watch from bodies, particularly the Football Association. This means that the data we have is our own, and then we will be able to supply character statistics, graphs, performances and other more attractive information.

If you have physically attended a match, but do not wish to contribute an article, then you may drop a message with the result and player information to any one of our contributors - either via this wiki, or via email, and we will add the information immediately.

Australia's million-dollar-a-month Nauru detention centre for two refugees

January 28, 2006

The cost of maintaining the Australian Government's refugee detention centre on the tiny island republic of Nauru is now estimated at AUD1 million per month. The centre is currently home to just two Iraqi asylum seekers who were found to be refugees, but refused protection by Australian Immigration after receiving an adverse security assessment from the Australian security agency, ASIO.

Immigration officials say the Nauru camps are being maintained in a state of readiness, complete with dozens of staff, in case they are needed for future asylum-seekers. The "million dollar a month" figure is more than six times the official estimate given after the last big group of asylum seekers left the island late last year.

The group of 25 asylum seekers were accepted by Australia after nearly five years detained on the island. The decision to release the group followed a September visit to Nauru by former immigration minister John Hodges with mental-health experts, who said that "the precarious mental health of many of the detainees required urgent attention." The delegates said some men were being constantly monitored for suicide risk or self-harm.

The last two asylum seekers on Nauru say they are hitting rock bottom - after their friends were granted refugee and humanitarian visas. Both men say they are beyond the point of despair, insisting that they cannot understand why they received adverse security assessments.

"Sometimes I feel that we are a piece of rubbish that everyone is trying to get rid of," Mohammed Sagar told Melbourne's Age newspaper. "We feel we are caught in the middle of a situation. It is too much to bear," said Mr Sagar, who insists neither he nor Mohammad Faisal are security risks.

"We strongly reject the finding and we believe it is unfair and unjustified. I have not said or done anything to cause harm in any way to an individual, let alone a whole country."

Mr Sagar said there was no longer an interpreter at the facility and this accentuated the men's problems. The pair are also concerned that they will lose other support, including access to a psychiatrist, when responsibility for the centre shifts from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) to Australian and Nauru authorities in March.

"I feel I am very alone on this very tiny piece of land in the middle of the sea," Mohammed Sagar, 29, said in November. Mohammad Faisal, 25, said: "My only option now is just to keep going with medication and sit alone inside my room and cry."

Accusations
Faisal and Sagar say they had been been accused of not being co-operative in interviews with an ASIO officer in January, a charge they emphatically denied. "I am wondering why those officers didn't mention earlier that I haven't been co-operative," wrote Sagar. "Why they waited four months to tell me this. I feel it is a psychological war. And they waited all this time just to put me under mental pressure."

They had reportedly made "anti-Western" and "anti-Australian" comments during an interview with ASIO officers.

"I've never expected that I would some day get such an accusation thrown on me, because it's terrible," said Mr Sagar. "I have never been in a police station, for a small fight even. How come to be a security threat for a whole country? It's terrible. I can't imagine it, even. I'm living in limbo. To think there is a possibility, even 1 per cent, to get a rejection, makes me feel very, very bad," he said.

Mr Faisal says he has a problem with his eyes which he believes could be treated in Australia. "I am enduring all this just to get freedom and be treated as a human being. If I didn't have a problem, I would go back (to Iraq) and would not endure this terrible situation here. I don't want human rights to be given to me. I want animal rights."

Million-dollar-a-month
This week a DIMIA spokesman said "preliminary estimates" of the cost of maintaining the Nauru facilities in a contingency state were "around $1 million a month". The spokesman said the cost of maintaining the centre was not affected by the presence of the two men.

Australian Democrats Senator Andrew Bartlett said the cost was absurd. He said it was crucial that the two men on Nauru not be forgotten: "They can't just be left in limbo."

Critics say there are no grounds for maintaining the facility, bearing in mind the Christmas Island immigration facility with a capacity for over 200 people — and is currently building a AUD300 million 800-bed centre there.

The Howard government has negotiated with Nauru and Papua New Guinea for the detention camps to remain in operation, and has indicated that it will re-activate the two camps if people smuggling resumes. Prime Minister John Howard hails the use of offshore detention as an "outstanding success"

Appeal
Senator Bartlett said the pair should be allowed to appeal against the findings to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, like those who received adverse security clearances on Australian soil. "It's obviously not tenable to keep two people stuck on an island in the middle of the Pacific on their own," he said. Labor immigration spokesman Tony Burke said: "Nauru should be shut down. It's a waste of money, and it's appalling to leave these two languishing."

An Immigration Department spokesman said officials were working closely with the Nauruan Government "to find a resolution to the situation".

Mr Sagar said he had suffered from depression and frustration over the past four years, but it was much harder now. "We had friends we could talk to to pass the time," he said. "Now I feel as if time has stopped." He expressed gratitude to Australians who had written letters of support.

Among those expressing concern is Mohammad al-Zirjawi, who was freed in August said, "they will go crazy in the camp alone." Mr Zirjawi suffers from depression, but says he is trying to make a fresh start.

Refugee advocate Marion Le says the ordeal has been a shockingly long period of detention for those on Nauru. She said, "it's been in my opinion an unmitigated disaster."

The Immigration Department said in November that the Government was working to resolve the cases of the two final Nauru asylum seekers.

Trade hall roof collapses in Poland

January 28, 2006

The roof of a trade hall in Metropolian Katowice (district Chorzów and Katowice), Poland has collapsed. Officials said there are at least 67 fatalities and at least 160 people were injured. More than 125 people are still believed to be trapped inside the building.

"Luckily nothing happened to me, but I saw a macabre scene, as people tried to break windows in order to get out. People were hitting the panes with chairs, but the windows were unbreakable. One of the panes finally broke, and they started to get out by the window," said survivor Franciszek Kowal.

Victims have been transported to hospitals in the mining area.

The trade hall was holding a pigeon exhibition and the collapse is believed to have been caused by large amounts of snow on the roof. At least 500 people were believed to be inside when the roof collapsed.

Jaroslaw Wojtasik a spokeman for the Katowice fire brigade said, "the weight of snow likely caused the roof to cave in at about 5:30 p.m., less than two hours before the event was scheduled to close for the evening." "From our crisis centres, we have found there are about 20 fatalities. We don't know if foreigners are among them," said Andrzej Gąska, spokesman for the regional police department.

Rescuers are concerned that people trapped may die from hypothermia due to the freezing temperatures (currently about -15 degrees Celsius in Chorzów ).

People standing outisde the building were helping rescuers and those that were injured into emergency vehicles.

Tunnel under U.S.-Mexico border trafficked in people, drugs

January 28, 2006

The combined efforts by agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Border Patrol have led to the discovery of a 2,400-foot (732 metre) tunnel between the United States and Mexico.

An investigation into a suspected drug smuggling operation in, California yielded tips which led to the discovery Tuesday by Mexican authorities of the nearly half mile long passage. The tunnel opens to the surface inside a small warehouse on the Mexican side of the border near the airport. On the U.S. side, it surfaces inside a huge 48,222-square-foot (4480 m2) warehouse at Otay Mesa, a town located near a border checkpoint in the Baja area of California.

Bales of marijuana weighing nearly 2-tons were seized by Mexican agents from that side of the tunnel, while U.S. agents confiscated 200 pounds (91Kg) at the other end. There are no reports of arrests.

On Wednesday, a second tunnel was discovered this month in the San Diego area when a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle got stuck in a sinkhole. The ground collapsed from the weight of the vehicle. The crude and shallow tunnel was found in an unfinished condition near the San Ysidro border crossing. It originated from a vacant lot in Tijuana, and is the 21st tunnel to be found over the last four years.

Documents allege U.S. Army kidnapped wives of enemy fighters

January 28, 2006

United States military documents indicate that the U.S. Army has taken and incarcerated wives of suspected enemy fighters for "leveraging" purposes against their husbands; but Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, a U.S. command spokesman, said only Iraqi women who pose an "imperative threat" are being held.

A U.S. intelligence officer claimed that, in one instance, the young mother of a nursing baby was locked up and in another case, one American colonel suggested to another colonel that they lure the husband of a kidnapped wife by putting a note on the family's door telling him "to come get his wife."

Female detentions by coalition forces have become more of an issue since kidnappers seized American journalist Jill Carroll and demanded that all Iraqi women detainees be freed.

Thursday the U.S. military did free five women. All of the released women had been accused of "aiding terrorists or planting explosives," but an Iraqi government commission found there was insufficient evidence to continue holding them.

Hind al-Salehi, an Iraqi human rights activist, claims that U.S. units sometimes detained wives to pressure men into turning themselves in.

Busho Ibrahim Ali, Iraq's deputy justice minister, denied Ali's claims and said hostage-holding was a tactic used under the regime of Saddam Hussein and that "we are not Saddam."

However, newly released Pentagon documents said; "During the pre-operation brief it was recommended by TF personnel that if the wife were present, she be detained and held in order to leverage the primary target's surrender," wrote a 14-year veteran intelligence officer. The intelligence officer said he objected, but that when they raided the house a senior sergeant, who was the team leader, seized her anyway.

"The 28-year-old woman had three young children at the house, one being as young as six months and still nursing," the intelligence officer wrote.

In the released documents most names and signatures are blacked out.

In a second e-mail, a staff officer asked another officer, "What are you guys doing to try to get the husband — have you tacked a note on the door and challenged him to come get his wife?"

The deputy commander of the brigade advised his higher command two days later, "As each day goes by, I get more input that these gals have some info and/or will result in getting the husband. These ladies fought back extremely hard during the original detention. They have shown indications of deceit and misinformation."

The reply was, "CG wants the husband."(CG meaning commanding general).

Johnson said this indicated justification for the detention of the woman, "It is clear the unit believed the females detained had substantial knowledge of insurgent activity and warranted being held."

Australian government hopes to establish triage by phone

January 29, 2006 The Australian federal government hopes to slash hospital emergency department waiting queues by setting up a 24-hour national medical hotline.

A government source said that the National Health Call Centre Network would be manned by registered triage nurses 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. Triage nurses would perform a diagnosis over the phone based upon the description given by the patient. The patient would then be referred to the nearest emergency department, their local GP or pharmacy – as determined by the nurse.

The issue is expected to be discussed at next month's Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting in Canberra. It is believed that the states and territories are supportive of the system.

If agreed upon by COAG, the service will be jointly funded by state/territory and the commonwealth governments at a cost of $40 million a year. The service would take 18 months to set up.

The service will be ran from a centralised call centre and be managed by a private contractor.

Julia Gillard, the opposition's spokeswoman for health said any national call service needed to be linked with local GPs and medical services.

Gillard claims that under a Labor government, an after-hours "Pizza Hut" style service would be implemented, with a single national number connecting to a local call centre.

"You would be talking to people in the locality you are in and who know the local services," she said

The Australian Medical Association, an organisation representing more than 27,000 doctors in Australia has slammed the proposal saying it will only deter people from seeking appropriate medical treatment.

 * It seems to work quite well, but only as a suppliment to going to the doctors (GP). Obviously, the service doesn't prescribe drugs so for "proper" illness people will see the doctor anyway. Plus going to the doctors they can get bennifits or a sick note for work.
 * But people do use it if they find it difficult to get to the doctors, or when people go "I don't know if this is dangerous" or "I don't want to bother the GP with this". In this sense it is a good service, especially for new mothers and the elderly.

Amélie Mauresmo wins Australian Open

January 29, 2006

French tennis champion  Amélie Mauresmo yesterday won her first  Grand Slam title at the  Australian Open in  Melbourne. Mauresmo was winning 6-1 2-0 when her opponent, Belgian player  Justine Henin-Hardenne, retired, citing a stomach complaint.

After winning a rally in the second game of the second set, Henin-Hardenne approached the umpire and complained of feeling unwell. She then consulted her trainer before returning to the court. After losing two points, she approached the net and told Mauresmo she was too ill to continue, ending the game in 52 minutes.

Henin-Hardenne apologized to her opponent, the tournament organisers and a disappointed crowd of 15,452 people. “I’m feeling very disappointed for sure to end the tournament this way. I am feeling very sick and couldn’t stay longer and continue,” she said.

She later told a press conference that she believed anti-inflammatory medication she had been taking for a shoulder injury had made her feel ill and left her with no energy. “I felt it when I woke up, but I tried. I knew at the beginning of the match that I could not win it,” she said.

Henin-Hardenne’s retirement gave Mauresmo her third victory by default in the tournament. She reached the fourth round after Dutch player Michaella Krajicek retired with  heat exhaustion. In the semi-final, Mauresmo was again the beneficiary of a retirement when Belgian player Kim Clijsters retired with an ankle injury.

Until now, 26-year-old Mauresmo was the only former world no.1 to never have won a Grand Slam  title. She said in a post-match interview that when she returns home to her base in Geneva, Switzerland, she will toast the win with a bottle of 1937  Château d'Yquem wine which she has been saving to celebrate her first grand slam title.

“I bought a bottle about three or four years ago. Very good one. Very old one also. I keep it. I thought, "You know, this one is going to be for my Grand Slam, my first Grand Slam title,"" she said.

Mauresmo’s win comes seven years after the then unseeded player reached the 1999 Australian Open final, the last time she has reached a Grand Slam final. She lost to Martina Hingis and was berated by the press and several players for her muscular build and for acknowledging her then partner, Sylvie Bourdon, believing if they were open about their relationship, people would be less inclined to gossip. At the time, Lindsay Davenport complained that playing Mauresmo was like playing against a male player. While Martina Hingis accused her of being “half a man.”

Henin-Hardenne’s retirement is the first time a player has retired from a women’s Grand Slam final since Brazil’s Maria Bueno retired in 1966 during a final against Australia’s Margaret Smith Court.

Mauresmo is now ranked world no.2 and is the first Frenchwoman to win an Australian Open since Mary Pierce won in 1995. Mauresmo takes home the Australian Open trophy and prize money of $AU1,220,000, while Henin-Hardenne walked away with the runner-up prize money of $AU610,000.

JFK Airport
I'm new to Wikinews, but I made JFK Airport Terror Plot just before this one was made. Do we merge or something? Kushboy 16:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
