Talk:Former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic found dead in his cell

Great Work!
This is a great lead story and well done. Congrats to Jason. Neutralizer 13:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I was a bit hesitant at publishing with no sources, but as soon as I said that, one popped up. :) Jason Safoutin 13:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Life in prison
Milošević did not face a life in prison. There where no solid evidence against him. The judge that was originaly the "first" judge claimed that himself and then retired (died soon). The case was started over.

I had deleted 00life in prison'' allready once but someone put iz beck. --Milant 20:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * He was facing life in prison if guilty...thats was going to be his punishment Jason Safoutin 00:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Title of article
The title doesn't really make sense. I would suggest you move it to "Former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic dies", or "Former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic is found dead". --210.86.95.48 00:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC) and if you do, make sure to change the link on Wikipedia's page on Slobodan Milosevic --210.86.95.48 00:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. Think about how a newspaper would form a headline...this isn't how they would. 131.247.220.175 22:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Copy violation
User:Amgine just removed some copyvio from this article originating from here. Just FYI. ironiridis 01:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Why you keep removing what I write. Why do you say it's a copy violation. That is a nonsense. I wrote it in my own words, and put a link to the source. 65.42.87.131 04:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The second inclusion was not a copyviolation. I have restored it, as well as another quote from the New York Times, and moved the link down to the sources. I did break up your text into two paragraphs, however. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 04:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

President S. Milosevic found dead
He was charged with killing of 8,000 Muslim Men in Srebrenica, Bosnia. But numbers do not add up. The Census from 1991 shows the true figures: That place was composed of two localities. The Town and the Municipality. Town                           Municipality 3,682 Muslims (men and women)  27,118 Muslims (men and women) 1,669 Serbs    "   "    "       9,381 Serbs     "   "    " 403 Others   "   "    "         714 Others    "   "    " 5,754 Total    "   "    "      37,213 Total     "   "    " If we divide those numbers by 2 to get only men (approximately), and only Muslims, and exclude women and military, yo can not get an accurate picture. This does not take into account those that fled outside Srebrenica. Looks like typical propaganda. Big numbers and rounded off. Town had 3682/2=1841 Muslim men. Municipality had 27118/2=13559 Muslim men. Municipality includes town residents, so after we subtract the killed we get the remainder. 13559-8000=5559 Muslim men living there, or give and take some that moved out or moved in afterward.

Big Potential Story

Title
The current title with possibly is speculation. Isn't that wrong? Jason Safoutin 14:41, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese Buddhist priest arrested for child prostitution

Roman Catholic church
Why was ''In the past, academics affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church have asserted the rates of sexual abuse and paedophilia among Roman Catholic priests are no higher than those among protestants or other religions. [1]'' included? We are talking about buddhism not catholism (sp?) - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 21:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

In Japan Temple earnings are taxfree and hence it is a big business. And so often the priests are rich and influential people. This is in stark contrast with the principles of Buddhism which believe in giving up everything to lead a peaceful life. Buddha would surely feel sad to see these unscrupulous guys who claim to be the custodians of his religious beliefs. --Rogerp 18:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Agriculture Department investigating possible U.S. case of mad cow disease

March 11, 2006 The Associated Press has reported that the United States Department of Agriculture is currently investigating a possible case of mad cow disease. USDA official John Clifford said that a routine test indicated the possible presence of the disease.

The Agriculture Department says that the first test was inconclusive and that further tests are being conducted in the department's laboratory in Ames, Iowa; however, those test results for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) will not be available for at least 4-7 days.

"This inconclusive result does not mean we have found a new case of BSE. Inconclusive results are a normal component of most screening tests, which are designed to be extremely sensitive," said Clifford. "We remain very confident in the safety of U.S. beef."

Clifford also stated that no parts of the cow have entered the human food or animal feed chain.

At least 150 human deaths worldwide have been linked to the consumption of affected cattle, most in the United Kingdom. One case of the disease was reported in a human in the U.S., but the Centers for Disease Control believe that the individual got it while traveling in the U.K.

The U.S. has had a total of two previously confirmed cases of the disease. The most recent occurred in June when, for the first time, a calf born in the U.S. tested positive for the disease. The first case was in December 2003 when the disease was found in a cow born in Canada located at a Washington State farm.

On March 3, the EU confirmed Sweden's first case of mad cow disease. Canada reported its fourth case of mad cow disease in January.

Bush nominates a new ambassador to Australia

March 12, 2006

United States President George W. Bush has nominated Robert Davis McCallum, Jr. to be the new US Ambassador to Australia. The ambassadorship has been vacant for 12 months and 28 days.

McCallum is an associate attorney-general for the Department of Justice and previously represented big tobacco companies at an Atlanta law firm. He also has a master's degree from Oxford University and is a Rhodes Scholar as well as having a bachelor's degree from Yale.

Former deputy secretary of state, Richard Armitage, said earlier this month that the fact Australia was still without an ambassador might indicate a "lackadaisical attitude" to the region.

McCallum is one of the 15 Skull and Bones members from the 1968 group, of which President Bush was also a member.

Talk:Bush nominates a new ambassador to Australia

NPOV
The carricaturing of this news event with the Skull and Bones conspiracy theorist title is biased and POV. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 22:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * "'secret' uni mate" is the title of one Australian source. The tagger tagged this within 2 minutes of it appearing on developing; I don't believe the tagger had time to read the Australian sources; unless the tagger feels they are promoting conspiracy theories too. Amgine's chategorization of a non-disputed fact (that both are members of Skull and Bones) as "conspiracy theorist" is bizarre and hard to understand; perhaps that reasoning can be expanded?Neutralizer 22:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * In what way does their membership directly impinge on the selection of this person as ambassador? There have been more than 40 ambassadorships filled during his term in office; in how many of them was it relevant what collegiate societies they were members of? Is their mutual membership in Phi Beta Kappa equally relevant to this news event? -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:04, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Amgine, please do not misrepresent. Bush was never a member of Phi Beta Kappa; you don't see that in the sources but you do see the skull and bones references highlighted in source titles and content. I repeat, have you read the sources? Also, you did not address the applicability of your "conspiracy" characterization. Neutralizer 23:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not a question of if the sources are biased or not. It is a question of if this article on Wikinews is biased. If you can prove to me that membership in the Skull and Bones society is specifically relevant to his appointment I would remove the NPOV. I don't believe it is possible to prove that case, thus it's focus in this article is to massage or manipulate the audience to a particular conclusion and is biased. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, Amgine, but I don't see any actionable objections here from you. There is nothing here but a story with information gleaned from reputable sources; if you wish to edit the story with information you feel is more relevant, please be my guest; this is a wiki; but please do not allow your own POV to cover up facts which all the other news reporting agencies seem to feel is relevant. Wikinews is not a platform for censorship. Neutralizer 23:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry you feel that way. There is a clearly actionable objection: remove references to collegiate societies unless you can cite proof it is relevant to the news event. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe that the fact they were both members of the Skull and Bones is relavent to this article, however I don't think it should be the focus of the article, and it shouldn't be in the title. If there was a demonstrable connection between the membership and the appointment, it would be different. The Skull and Bones element should be limited to one sentence, but placed towards the end of the article as an interesting piece of additional information. The title should be something like "Bush nominates ambassador to Australia". - Borofkin 23:42, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * comment;Just for clarification and also to try to show how McCallum's S&B membership is such an important aspect of the story,imo, one of the typical misconceptions is that the S&B membership/involvement is something limited to University days (in which case Borofkin's use of the words "were both members" above would be correct. Actually, this society's members only begin their involvement in their senior year at Yale and then their S&B membership mutates into an intensive,lifelong business/social network complete with ongoing contact and collaberation; e.g. and as they age they are known as "Patriarchs"(like the elder President G.H.W.Bush). Some are known to never remove their pins to the point of jammimg them into their chests when they shower. My personal research indicates McCallum has been carefully groomed for a major role in pursuing S&B domestic and foreign policy objectives and that this Australian placement tells me Australia is now the most important country in the world from a S&B foreign policy perspective. Until/unless one has read the skull and bones background material on Wikipedia and other reliable sources, this likely sounds quite speculative on my part. The bottom line of every serious work on this group has been that allegiance to the S&B cult(Yes, the word does fit dictionarily) and its collective objectives comes before all other allegiances (including God and country). This explains why Bush doesn't give a rat's ass what happens to the Republican party now that he's finished using it for his run on the multi-generational relay team; and there is only one S&B member ready to carry their baton into the 2008 presidential election; and he's not a republican. Neutralizer 14:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Also the photo should be removed, as it won't reflect the focus of the article. - Borofkin 23:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, but that is a very cool photo I think. I think I will also include a link to the Wikipedia list of the 11 members Bush appointed to government positions section from wikipedia; hopefully that's allright. I also want to ask, is there anything wrong in writing an article exclusively about this aspect of the story? Obviously the sources are given it more exposure than we will in this article. Neutralizer 00:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

What the ....?
This entire thing belongs on a somewhat conspiracy oriented blog in the manner in which it has been presented. Even the article on The Age does not place such bias on its coverage by over-emphasizing the association with this secret society. As to the photograph, it should be one of the candidate himself. Certainly not some supposed "cabal" where he's in the photo with chum George and you can't figure out who he is. Sorry to be so blunt, but you really do downplay the other achievements that make McCallum a valid candidate for the position. --Brian McNeil / talk 00:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * ok,fair comment, it did have an "expand" tag and I hope others will add things about McCallum. The only other thing I know about him is his notorius lessening of the penalties to the tobacco industry which is extremely negative, so I saw that inclusion in the article as leading to a NPOV tag. Neutralizer 01:29, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Would it be ok
to write an article exclusively about the skull and bone aspect of the story? Obviously the sources are given it more exposure than we will be in this particular article. Neutralizer 00:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I cannot imagine a news event angle related to the Skull and Bones society, no. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 00:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Amgine, do you realize that both Kerry and Bush are members; or do you think that is a "theory"? Neutralizer 01:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * To say there could not be a news event related to the Skull and Bones is,I think, like saying there can not be a news event related to the Ku Klux Klan or to any other small group of people. POV can show itself through exclusion as well as inclusion I think and it is patently absurd, imo, to say one can not imagine a news event concerning a particular group of people; particularly a particular group that includes the 2 most powerful politicians in the USA; at least that's my opinion about that. Neutralizer 01:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, I was unclear. I meant I cannot imagine an angle on this particular news event which would be related to the Skull and Bones. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 01:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * ok, yes I should have realized that, my fault. Also, you're probably right about this event not having enough S&B relevance for its own article...damn it. Neutralizer 02:05, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone has criticised the President, accusing him of appointing his secret-society buddies, then we could report on that. - Borofkin 22:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Title
I'd like to discuss the title a bit more. S&B is a topic I have a lot of personal interest in so I would be inclined to agree that the S&B aspect may not be a substantial part of the story (to other people) BUT, the other sources like ABC/AFP are making more comment about S&B than is being proposed here which leads me to think it MAY be a bigger part of the story after all? If Bush were to appoint his sister to the post, would it not make sense to have the word "sister" in the title-regardless of qualifications? Bush's very first meeting at the WhiteHouse was with his 1968 S&B brothers according to USA Today so I think it may be a mistake to discount/ignore/not report the relevance of the association between these men. I propose making some mention of the Bush/McCallum S&B connection in the title..or should we not? Neutralizer 01:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Stop hypothesizing. We're not ABC.  We're not AFP.  We're Wikinews, and unlike the other two, we have a responsibility to provide unbiased, quality articles.  Continuation of this discussion only destroys both of them.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 01:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * MrM, there is nothing wrong with friendly discussion, imo, please join in if you wish. Neutralizer 01:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I will delete the reference in the title but I hope there may be a consensus built later to reinclude it as I think it is just as acceptable as saying "President Bush has nominated his sister,Dorothy Bush, to be Ambassador to Australia" if that were the case. Neutralizer 01:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think mentioning it in the article is sufficient. It shouldn't be the core of the article - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 03:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Do not remove content which is of value to the article
I have noticed that Bush has appointed several other members of the 170 year old secret society to government positions according to ABC News.  was removed. There was no problem with this statement and it contributes value to the article. Noone is proposing a conspiracy theory here. MrM, please do not remove content of value to slant the article towards your POV - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 21:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Cartman, refrain from jumping to conclusions. Read the statement again, then come back here and tell me if it makes any sense.  What government?  Who?  Why note how old it is without the other two statements?  That sentence alone is a mess.  Please read the definition of a wiki, and please stop jumping to conclusions - I have nothing to gain being on this wiki.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 21:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * MrM, the sentence should have been reworded and not removed if that was the case. It is pretty clear that if we are talking about Bush then we are going to be talking about appointments to the US government. I agree that the age of the organisation in that case is irrelevant, but it most certaintly is interesting to read that President Bush has appointed 11 other skull and bones members to positions within his government. With regards to your POV, a quick question - are you a Bush supporter? (I had assumed that was the case, sorry if I am incorrect) - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 21:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you really want to know about my personal life, then here it is concerning my political status: I've been a registered Republican since I could vote, and I was a volunteer for Bush's campaign in 2004. To call me a 'supporter' would be quite shallow, since I disagree with him on many different issues (if you want my personal feelings on them, send me an email).  That, however, doesn't justify that we can allow editorials or link our articles to conspiracy thoughts.  --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 21:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * This is one of the things that you gain my respect for - your openess on your POV. Do you not find it interesting that President Bush has appointed 11 members of a "secret society" into his government. I didn't see it as a conspiracy but as a demonstration on how well Mr Bush must trust fellow S&B members. I agree that the link should have been removed but I see no real problem with the statement. I would expect in Australian politics for someone to comment if PM Howard appointed 11 members from his cricket club or something (maybe Australians see these things differently though) - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 02:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

MrM. is vandalizing the article

 * MrM you are now vandalizing, it seems to me. You say "who" but you do not really want the 11 S&B members appointed by Bush listed in this article do you? A consensus was reached yesterday to minimize the reference to the secret society and that is what the rest of us have done. The related news article is the most newsworthy event that McCallum has yet been involved in ever, so your removal of that is pure vandalism, imo. I will not be dealing with you on this article as I do not see any good faith edits here by you at all. Neutralizer 22:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Leave it out, or take issue with my edits. The Skull and bones article has a link to Phi Beta Kappa Society in the first paragraph.  Have you looked at the list of members there?  Seems equally impressive, yet you're not looking to shout about their members positions in government. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Brian, please note that 1% of all graduates get into phi beta kappa. Last year alone there were 18,432 new members. This society takes in 15 per year. There is no logical comparison, in my opinion. It's like saying all the people in a city of 18,432 are as close as a family of 15. Neutralizer 22:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Compromise?
I have almost entirely removed any reference to the skull and bones by striking out the ABC reference to the 170 year old society and the numerous appointees as well as removing the external link to the list of 11 Bush appointees who are Bonesmen. The related story is the biggest news event McCallum has ever been involved in so I put that back. Is this satisfactory now? Neutralizer 22:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see any problem with the current article version. It relies on what Wikipedia states to explain the Skull and bones, thus keeping the conflict off here.  However, I'm under the impression that what you think we should be writing/featuring is overtly editorial.  There are venues for editorial content, and participation here is not mutually exclusive with the production of editorial material elsewhere.  You can do brief, just the facts articles here, add wikilinks, then interpret the sum of all the information in an editorial on Indymedia or similar.   If, as it appears, you have a problem with not getting to express your POV, then you should seek an outlet for that instead of clashing with other contributors here. --Brian McNeil / talk 23:16, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Brian, I can understand that being the impression you have. In fact, up until recently, that would have been a correct impression. I certainly do not feel as though I am trying to write editorial comment now nor instill my pov into articles, and very few of articles I have been involved in in the past month come anywhere near my pov about anything. I do have quite a bit of knowledge and have done extensive research on the facts surrounding US foreign policy and the skull and bones club so I do try to inject some of that information where appropriate; just as you might get more excited about articles to do with your particular geographical location or interests. Looking back on the original draft I put together, it may have been a bit overboard...but I think I did a good job of pulling back and working in a collaborative manner toward something reasonable, wouldn't you say?..at least I hope so. Neutralizer 02:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Ku Klux Klan comparison
By way of analogy, if McCallum was a member of the KKK would that qualify as a news story? Likely not for people who knew little about the KKK other than it was a private club. But likely would for people who knew more what the KKK was all about. It's frustrating for me because I am confident that were the editors here to read and accept the reality of just the Wikipedia information about this truly evil society, there would be many who would think this is an important news event. The power of the S&B collective is unimaginable to anyone who has not spent at least a few hours reading good source information about the cult. Verifiable information indicates that they have been the major force behind Just as I would have the opinion that it should be reported if an important U.S. government official is a member of the KKK (and include some info about the KKK); much moreso do I feel it should be reported if an important U.S. government official is a member of the S&B(and include some info about the S&B). I'll say no more except the life-long allegiance is so strong they even inter-marry (George Herbert Walker Bush) and they participate in occult rituals. Neutralizer 18:08, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Photoessay: The Idiotarod: When Good Shopping Carts Go Bad

When you mix a shopping cart, six team members, bar hopping and bonus points for schmoozing bar hostesses and sabotaging your enemies, you get the annual Washington, D.C. Idiotarod race. On Saturday, this bizarre fund raising event, which originated in San Francisco 13 years ago, pitted teams of "sleds" together to race from bar to bar in Washington, D.C.'s fashionable Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan neighborhoods. Each "sled" consists of a "borrowed" shopping cart and six human dogs to pull the cart. Points are given for originality, the best time and best sabotage of another sled.

The race is held to benefit the Arlington Food Assistance Center and is organized by Ellen Shortill and Kristen Heatherly. Their organization, called "SMASHED" or "Society for Mature Adults Seeking to Help, Entertain and Donate", takes the position that donating small amounts many times ultimately benefits the smaller charities. Said Shortill, "Our goal is simply to have fun and raise money for those charities that don't really get any attention."

The race this year consisted of 22 teams. Although team "Save NOLA" got to the last bar first, teams can win bonus points for (among other things) flirting with bar hosts and hostesses at any of the five bars along the route. The route is approximately 3 miles long, and each team is required to spend at least 20 minutes in each bar. Heatherly noted that "it doesn't matter who got here first, ultimately its the team with the most credits and the best time that wins."

Unique among the participants are brothers Pete and Chris Magnuson who are attempting to get on the 10th edition of Amazing Race on CBS. Their team called "Pick Pete and Chris" ran through the streets with t-shirts hawking their website and their fervent desire to be chosen for the next edition of the television show.

"Its not really about who wins, its that we get to have a blast and raise some money," said Shortill. The charity event raised about $500 and various canned goods for the food pantry.

Good, but...
This is a nice article. Good writing style. However, it shouldn't end up on the front page until it has the photos to make it a photoessay. It's developing until it's done. Otherwise, it's a good article. ironiridis 02:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

United Kingdom hit by snow storms

March 12, 2006

Snow storms and strong winds have disrupted travel around much of Scotland, northern England and parts of Wales. The storms follow earlier unseasonal snow storms on March 2. Snow is relatively unusual in March in the United Kingdom. As snow fell on a Sunday, schools have not been disrupted as they would be closed anyway, but many businesses have been forced to remain closed.

Man takes baby and woman hostage in hospital

March 12, 2006

The man that took a woman and her newborn baby hostage has been arrested by the police. He made no demands, neither has it been confirmed whether he had a gun. Nobody suffered any injuries in the incident. The 32-year-old man was the woman's ex-boyfriend.

He entered the room in the hospital in Eschweiler, Germany, where a woman and her new born child lay. He took them both hostage, no contact was achieved, and his eventual demands are not known. The smell of fuel was reported from the hospital, and part of the hospital was evacuated as police and fire department entered the building.

Username
This username may be considered offensive by some users. I would suggest you consider another account name. However, you should realize that a bot is not a daemon and your argument is not reasonable in that manner. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Depends on the bot, but we'll see if I get it working. :)  Daemon refers to either a background process, such as a web or mail server, or to the creatures of greek mythology.  In both cases, the term is intentionally spelled diffrent from demon, the evil spirits of christian mythology.  Nyarlathotep 18:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Uhm, the ligature is an older, traditional spelling. In most conservative christian faiths the older spelling is more offensive. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd go for creating a test account you never request bot status for, and using that to develop with. Then if you get anything useful create an account specifically for the bot that gives some indication of its purpose.  As to "daemon" being offensive or otherwise... I'm more familiar with the use in IT, so I just think the folks that object aren't accepting that language changes.  However there are many synonyms that avoid this minor conflict point. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I noticed Your message on Brianmc's page and thought I'd answer since he doesn't appear to be around at the moment. (hope you/or him don't mind)
 * - My advice: Don't use it. Generally you don't want to use it unless your making a big change (ie editing for a period ~ over two minutes).
 * Other tags: similiar to wikipedia pretty much, Really only need them if you have a problem with somebody elses article.
 * Article flags - Don't worry too much about pages like that if they confuse you, most of them are a bit outdated (really need to get arround to fixing them)
 * - The only tag you actually need to know. Basicly it makes the story appear on the front page.
 * Getting help. My advice would be to ask on irc. Lots of friendly wikinewsies hang out there. If you have an IRC client try #Wikinews at irc.freenode.net or try the real time chat link at the top of every page for a web version.
 * Wikipedia is a seperate project from wikinews and we have no say about in the news (they ussually don't even use us as a source). see Current events for more information.
 * hope that helped. feel free to ask me or anyone else any questions you may have. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 03:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Good advice there from Bawolff, saves me having to figure it out and give you some answers. What I will point out is that wikinews is currently still a fairly small community.  That means that referring to IRC if you want someone to review your work is a good idea.  As I'm based in Belgium your message was way too late at night for me to be about, I think I'd shut down my machine a couple of hours earlier.  As Bawolff's comment indicates, we could do with polishing up some of our guidelines - there is an assumption that people are coming over from wikipedia with experience when they may not have it.
 * To help you get clued up on where there are discussions on the wiki you might want to check Recent Changes from time to time. As we have a fairly low edits per day count you can pick up most of the areas on the wiki where there is activity.  Just don't get too sucked into policy stuff - you'll need to get to know some of the local characters first as maintaining NPOV on news seems to be more difficult than on wikipedia.
 * Lastly, refer to what wikinews is not, we aren't quite the same as wikipedia so you need to avoid pitfalls like making a news story too encyclopedic. But there's good news there, unlike wikipedia we allow original research.  That means you can do things like go out and interview people or use email to solicit quotes from experts for use in articles. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the advice, (now if I can just work out why I get logged out of wikinews after 1 minute (I.E. clearing session-cookies apparently) yet no problem with wikipedia's cookies .... nope, so manually create signature...) David Ruben / Talk 22:58, 15 March 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 Latinus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Latinus~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)

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Brian McNeil / talk 16:38, 12 March 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 Priyam 235. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Priyam 235~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 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Uma77. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Uma77~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 23:23, 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) 06:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Czech woman wins the first Sudoku world championship

March 12, 2006 Jana Tylova, a 31-year-old Czech woman, came from behind to win the inaugural Sudoku world championships to become the top sudoku player in the world. Tylova works as an accountant for a construction company in the Czech city of Most, and she beat 85 players from 22 countries.

A graduate student from Harvard University, Thomas Snyder, who had been leading, came in second and Wei-Ha Huang, a 30-year-old Google software engineer in California, came third.

Tylova, the only woman in the top 18, finished only ninth after the first round before passing all the men to claim the championship. She is already being called "Queen Jana of Sudoku".

"There is no difference between men and women, and I tried to prove that even in logic, men and women are on the same level", said Tylova as people cheered loudly. Jana smiled shyly while accepting her trophy from Wayne Gould who came upon Sudoku in Japan and popularised the game worldwide.

Jana told reporters: "I find it very difficult to give advice at all, but I can advise people to practice every day and to follow websites where there are a lot of games available." Tylova revealed that before competitions she played sudoku two hours per day. "It will probably be more now", she said. She showjumps with her horse Impulse during the rest of her spare time.

Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, the Netherlands, India, Italy, Japan, Venezuela, Switzerland, the United States, the Philippines, Estonia, Slovakia and Turkey were the countries represented in the championship contest.

NASA spacecraft enters Mars orbit

March 12, 2006

A NASA spacecraft set to probe Mars reached orbit around the planet on Friday, joining five others currently active. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's two-year mission is expected to gather more information about Mars than all 12 previous successful missions put together.

The MRO's tasks will include scouting for possible future landing sites, analyzing the planet's atmosphere, monitoring its weather, and searching for locations where there may have been water in the distant past. The US$450 million spacecraft is the most advanced probe so far sent to Mars, and can radio back 10 times more data to Earth than any previous probe. Cameras on the MRO can see objects on the planet the size of a card table.

After its seven-month journey toward the planet, reaching orbit was a critical step. Several previous probes have failed due to the difficulty of the precise timing needed to keep the spacecraft from being pulled in by the planet's gravity. Twenty-one of the thirty-three previous probes have failed for some reason to complete their missions.

Project manager Jim Graf, who described himself as "relieved" at the "picture perfect" completion of this step, expects the results to "rewrite the science textbooks on Mars." The next step is for the craft to begin "aerobraking" to slow down and change its orbit from elliptical to circular.

The total cost of the mission, including the spacecraft, launch, and support team, is US$720 million.
