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

Iran: no sign of former FBI agent

April 23, 2007

Hojjatol-Islam Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejeie, the intelligence minister of Iran, stated in the report released today that Iran is investigating the disappearance of Robert Levinson, an ex-FBI agent from Florida since his trip to Iran's Kish Island who went missing while in Iran on private business, in March. He is believed to have gone missing several weeks ago on the island of Kish.

Iran has not confirmed the U.S. citizen entered its territory. Nonetheless, the State Department spokesman said, "To the best of our knowledge we have been able to determine that he went (to Iran) ... and we have not seen any evidence that he left." The State Department contacted Iranian authorities regarding the matter from the U.S. Embassy in the United Arab Emirates capital Abu Dhabi earlier. Later, Iran relayed a reply to the U.S. via the Swiss embassy in Tehran which acts as a go-between since there are no diplomatic relations between the two countries.

On April 3, the FBI said that he has not worked for them in a decade nor is he a contractor for them. A U.S. State Department spokesperson declined to give name, age or occupation of the missing man at the time. The spokesperson also said that they have no indication that he is being held by any Iranian entity.

There were rumors that Iran wanted to swap the former FBI agent for Ali-Reza Askari. Askari, who was a deputy defense minister of Iran, had defected. However, Hujjat al-Islam Mohseni-Ejei denied such stories.

Airline checks Dell and Apple computers for hazard

January 18, 2007

Qantas, Australia's primary airline, has begun checking the batteries of Dell and Apple computers and in some cases removing them for the safety of the passengers. This relatively new safety precaution was sparked by a battery recall a few months ago. 4 million Dell laptops worldwide were recalled after some of the laptop batteries exploded, causing the laptop to erupt into a fireball.

Although Qantas has yet to release a statement, they are expected to within the next few days. The company said in an interview that the practice has been occurring for a number of months for the passengers' safety to mitigate the rare chance of fire.

In some circumstances yes, the cabin staff shall ask some passengers to remove the battery of their laptop in order for them to check there is no chance of the battery being a fire hazard. This is however managed by the cabin crew and not the airline management itself.
 * —Sharron, an employee of Qantas.

Australians and News Zealanders increasingly support shared currency

April 23, 2007

A recent survey has shown that the public support of a shared currency between Australia and New Zealand has risen.

The Australian survey, released at the Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum, has shown that the support for a shared currency in New Zealand is at 49%. The Australian support is slightly lower at 41%.

Helen Clark, Prime Minister of New Zealand, has said that New Zealand would not have a shared currency, but an Australian currency. She fears that the new dollar would be run by an Australian Reserve Bank, driving interest rates that are unrelated to the state of the New Zealand economy. Miss Clark told the New Zealand Press Association, "The convergence of trying to bring the two [economies] together could be quite rough on the smaller party [New Zealand]."

Opposition National party leader, John Key is supporting an exploration of the idea of a shared currency.

Snowy Mountains Hydro could be closed as drought tightens on Australia

April 23, 2007

Operations at Snowy Mountains Hydro may be suspended in weeks as water supplies fall due to the drought which has affected much of South-Eastern Australia. Water stores as part of the scheme are at their lowest levels since it was opened in 1973.

Mayor of the Snowy Mountains Shire Council, Richard Wallace warned that should water levels in dams continue to fall, many towns in the area may suffer from water shortages. He also warned that the Snowy Mountains Hydro electric scheme could be suspended.

Snowy Hydro Limited, the company which operates the scheme, has predicted that water levels in Lake Jindabyne will fall below the threshold needed to operate power turbines by mid to late May. Lake Eucumbene, the second water source for the scheme will fall below its threshold by late July or early August.

A statement by the company claims that over the last decade, water levels have continued to fall as the drought continues. The drought has lasted longer than the region's previous worst which lasted from 1936 to 1946.

According to the company, water flows are around 30 percent lower than average, with the last eleven months flows being lower than those recorded in 101 years.

It is also feared that low water stores may affect the supply of water for some towns in the region. The Snowy River Alliance, an organisation which promotes the conservation of the Snowy River predicts that water may have to be trucked into towns such as Dalgety in the near future.

India's first commercial satellite launch

April 23, 2007

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced India’s first commercial launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). It is carrying the Italian satellite AGILE which will gather information about the origins of the universe through imaging of distant celestial objects in the X-ray and Gamma ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

India joined the elite club of nations who have the capacity to deploy their space exploration resources for commercial use. Currently, only the United States, Russia, China, Ukraine and the European Space Agency have the capacity to deploy their space exploration resources for commercial use. These nations dominate the commercial satellite launch services segment which is estimated to be worth $2.5 billion a year.

The PSLV rocket only has the capability of carrying relatively lighter loads of under 1,000 kilograms, but ISRO hopes to increase payloads soon.

interview
I am sorely tempted to rip the guts out of this interview right now, but I won't because the existing Q & A will need to be put on the discussion page (as exerpts).

Let us not forget the motivation of Mr. Hakeem, that is central to the introduction and resulting interview. -Edbrown05 11:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The motivation is something along the lines of, and I seem to be amiss of the exact email stating this at this moment, that he wants to be the "point person" in distribution of American funds in the NWFP. -Edbrown05 12:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * hmmm, there's still some stuff to be merged. while the motivation shld be mentioned, i'm not sure about making it central - our interview (certainly my questions) focused on other things and Mr. Hakeem's motivations are of less interest to readers than what he saw and what he knows, i think. –Doldrums(talk) 12:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Notice OhMyNews introduction to Maulana Abdul Aziz: short, quick, to the point. -Edbrown05 12:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

But my point is, now that we have a background and some understanding, the hard questions come. -Edbrown05 12:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * we already have a pretty big article. i'm not sure how we'll be able to cut back from it to allow more Q/As to be added. if you think it can be done, pls go ahead. –Doldrums(talk) 13:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually my motivation is a hope that someone at State will recognize that I have a deep understanding of the area, and call on my expertize to help set policy for the area. I wish to duplicate for the Pakistan side of the Durand line what Zalmay Khalilzad - a Pashtun- did for the Afghan side of the Durand line. My fear is that after the US has extricated itself from Iraq it will find re-newed vigor in looking for a military solution in this area. That will be a bigger mistake than Iraq is right now - as I say somewhere in the interview, the US needs to develop a Pashtun Policy instead of an Afghan and a Pakistan policy initiatives. The reason is that in Afghanistan the majority of the population is Pashtun, as is Hamid Karzai and you cant run a democracy without involving the majority. On the Pakistan side, all the troubles lie in the FATA, which are 100% Pashtun. So no matter how you want to solve this problem it will have to involve the Pashtun people. And this is where America could use my services, and indeed I am soliciting for my services to be used. Not even the Pakistani's understand the Pashtun. Example: They still call them by the British name -Pathans. In this as in life, I follow the advice of St Francis of Assisi ... seek first to understand, than to be understood.RHakeem

 * It needs some introduction as to why Mr Hakeem visited the region, one or two sentences should be enough. Then - I think - it should be published, flagged exclusive, and put as 2nd or 3rd lead.  The original interview should be put on a /Notes sub-page and linked to from the talk; this page should be moved to a /Development sub-page and also linked from talk.  I'd also be tempted to stick a link to it on some wikipedia pages. ;-) --Brian McNeil / talk 08:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * This user page is an essay, not a news report. -Edbrown05 08:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * As an effort to explain my prior comment, I think the opening is missing the why. With that in place the rest of the article will make more sense as a news report. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Understood Brian, but the interview is where it's at for now. Mr. Hakeem, and the role he could assume, is more fully conveyed by the interview itself. -Edbrown05 08:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Let me have a re-read of what we've got so far and see if it can be condensed to make room for more of the interview. The interview itself is difficult to read because the responses aren't particularly pithy. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * "This user page is an essay, not a news report." have a look at the Special Reports on BBC News. for eg., . –Doldrums(talk) 09:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No thank you. -Edbrown05 09:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This is all fodder to what RHakeem said. Use it for future use. I hope something comes of it. It's time to publish the interview. -Edbrown05 09:22, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * And I think it comes down to that I'll be goddamned if a cursory story will replace a bona fide interview. -Edbrown05 09:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Status
I'm curious, what's the status on this evolving into an article? It reads well and I think just needs a little polish prior to publishing. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

first commercial launch?
yes, i see that's what the Beeb says, but the Antrix Corp. (ISRO's "commercial arm") website says "The successful launch of Korean Satellite KITSAT-3 weighing about 100 kgs and German Satellite weighing about 50 kgs as piggy back payloads onboard Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C2) in May 1999 signifies an outstanding achievement and entry into the field of commercial launch services." –Doldrums(talk) 12:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Classes resume at Virginia Tech
Classes resumed today at Virginia Tech in Virginia, United States, for the first time since the April 16, 2007 mass shooting.

At 7:10 a.m. EDT, students gathered for a moment of silence, to mark the first of the shootings last week. Similarly, at 9:45 a.m. another moment of silence is planned to mark the second shooting. After the silence, a bell will toll 32 times, once for each victim and 32 white balloons will be released.

The Roanoke Times reported that the campus seemed tranquil and that most students were wearing the school colors, orange and maroon.

Russian radio journalists told to report 'positive news'
The new Kremlin-allied managers of the radio network Russian News Service have told journalists that half of their reporting must be 'positive stories', opposition leaders should not be talked about on air and the United States is to be represented as an enemy; the network's staff say.

Russian News Service is the largest independent radio network with an estimated seven million listeners. The country's three television networks are all state-controlled, while radio stations and small newspapers tend to be independent.

Reports on deaths, violence and poverty are all to be considered as not positive, an editor at the network told the New York Times. A former news editor, Mikhail G. Baklanov told the NYT that owners had previously not interfered in editorial matters.

The press freedom watchdog group Reporters Without Borders ranks Russia 147th out of 168 countries listed in its annual press freedom index, citing the murders of prominent journalists, the control of media outlets by business groups close to the Kremlin and the passing of restrictive laws.

Boris Yeltsin, former president of Russia, dies at 76

April 23, 2007 Former President of Russia Boris Yeltsin has died at age 76, according to a Kremlin spokesperson.

"Today, at 15:45 (11:45 GMT) Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin died in the Central Clinical Hospital as a result of a deteriorating cardio-vascular problem," said the spokesperson. Yeltsin had a history of heart problems.

Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin (Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Е́льцин) was the first President of the Russian Federation from 1991 to 1999. The Yeltsin era was a traumatic period in Russian history— marked by widespread corruption, economic collapse, and enormous political and social problems.

Yeltsin maintained a low profile since his resignation, making almost no public statements or appearances. However, on February 1, 2006, Yeltsin celebrated his 75th birthday. He used this occasion as an opportunity to criticize a "monopolistic" United States foreign policy, and to state that Vladimir Putin was the right choice for Russia.

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

offbeat news article
First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases. Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources.

Thanks again!–Doldrums(talk) 16:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Football: Cristiano Ronaldo takes home both PFA awards

The only thing that isn't spelled out or wikilinked seems to be these three letters PFA. What do they stand for? I could glean that there is a senior and a young award, but what is it "best player", "most valuable player" or "top scorer", probably not the latter since there was a vote.--SVTCobra 20:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Archbishop says abortion and euthanasia are 'terrorism with a human face'

April 23, 2007 A Vatican City official has referred to abortion and euthanasia as "terrorism with a human face."

Archbishop Angelo Amato is the acting Secretary of the which is led by. He was addressing Vatican chaplains, when he made the remarks on Monday in a keynote address that opened an April 23 to 27 seminar in Rome with Catholic airport chaplains. The seminar's main focus is security and preparedness against acts of terrorism.

"[Abortion clinics are] slaughterhouses of human beings" and abortion is "abominable terrorism. [There are other] parliaments of so-called civilized nations where laws contrary to the nature of the human being are being promulgated, such as the approval of marriage between people of the same sex," said Amato, who has been a bishop for four years.

"For example, abortion is called voluntary interruption of pregnancy and not the killing of a defenceless human being, an abortion clinic is given a harmless, even attractive, name: centre for reproductive health and euthanasia is blandly called death with dignity," added Amato.

Amato called the press "a perverse film about evil. Evils that remain almost invisible" and also accused the press of "manipulating" their news content "to hide the tragic reality of the facts."

New kids' drink sparkles up debate

April 23, 2007

A new drink called Robby Bubble has sparkled up some sparkled debate with distributors and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in Calgary, Alberta.

The drink, similar to sparkling wine, is a non-alcoholic sparkling drink which is currently for sale in Alberta liquor stores. The bottle has the words "Party, Party!" with cartoon characters. Their slogan is "Celebrate like the grown-ups" and is shaped as a champagne bottle. It is under the approval of the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.

Tracy Franklin, president of MADD in Calgary, said: "It's calling out to kids, but the whole thing is geared as a champagne bottle, as an alcohol product ... Do we want to give them something, although it's non-alcoholic, and have them partying like an adult?"

Other "adult products" marketed to children, such as candy cigarettes, have been banned in Canada. Studies have shown a link between the marketing of candy cigarettes to children and the promotion of smoking in later life. It had been shown that tobacco companies cooperated with candy manufacturers in the design of candy cigarettes.

The Tobacco Act legislation in Canada has eliminated the ability of companies to market tobacco-looking products to children. In Section 27, the Act states, "No person shall furnish or promote a tobacco product if any of its brand elements is displayed on a non-tobacco product, other than an accessory, or is used with a service, if the non-tobacco product or service is associated with young persons or could be construed on reasonable grounds to be appealing to young persons."

President of the German company responsible for the distribution of Robby Bubble, Darryl Weinbren, defended his product saying it is non-alcoholic and parents are responsible for serving their children the drink.

"I can understand Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and certainly I respect their objectives and what they are after. There wasn't any intention from our point of view to encourage kids to drink alcohol. It was just a matter of trying to find something that would meet a family celebration with something for their kids."

A spokeswomen for the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, Marilyn Carlyle-Helms, said liquor stores can distribute non-alcoholic drinks and if there were a health concern they would have disapproved them.

Talk:New kids' drink sparkles up debate

Unsourced information
The stuff about toy guns and candy cigarettes being banned in Canada and other countries seems to be unsourced, as well as the claim that they are being marketed in the US and other countries (although I happen to know that the latter is true). Can you find a source for that? It may be common knowledge to Canadians, but ... --SVTCobra 21:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The Tobacca Act of 1997 was heavy reading. It must have it in there somewhere, as Candy cigarette also says it's banned in Canada, I'll accept it as fact.
 * Thanks for removing toy guns from banned items, as I found this story Oshawa looks to ban toy guns which leads me to believe that toy guns are not banned in Canada. --SVTCobra 00:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

 * No sweat! It is a bit of a chore to get through the Act, so I quoted a relevant part. And you're right, toy guns are not banned in Canada. Cheers, Jcart1534 01:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Archbishop says abortion and euthanasia are 'terrorism with a human face'

Umm Why?
Why was "homosexuality" removed from the first sentence/paragraph? Furthermore, why was the references to homosexuality removed? IMO that is plainly a violation of NPOV. DragonFire1024 03:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't rightly know. The only legitimate reason is that the original put homosexuality in the class of "terrorism with a human face" which was reserved for abortion and euthanasia. Homosexuality is just regular evil on the same playing field as journalist and governments. However, it should have just been corrected and not edited out. --SVTCobra 03:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Football: Manchester United defeat AC Milan in Champions League

April 24, 2007

A stoppage time goal by Wayne Rooney lifted Manchester United to a 3-2 win over AC Milan at in. United have never defeated Milan over two legs, having lost twice to them in semi-finals, and once in the round of sixteen previously. With injuries mounting for United, they were forced to play an extremely altered back line, with and  in the centre of defense. Milan had a boost before the match as keeper proved fit enough to play. United opted for only one striker in Wayne Rooney, while Milan did the same fielding. The game also featured two of the best young midfielders in the world currently, with Cristiano Ronaldo for United and for AC Milan.

Manchester had a dream start to the match when Ronaldo opened the scoring after only five minutes. Dida was caught out of net as Ronaldo headed towards goal, and after slapping twice at the ball, it eventually found its way into the net. United, and Ronaldo in particular, continued to threaten the Milan goal, but the next chance fell to whos stinging shot was saved well by Dida. Milan then equalized through a high qualty goal from Kaka. Kaka as he received a through ball from, and the Brazilian sprinted past the defense and slid the ball past. United continued to threaten, but nothing came of chances for both and Rooney. A curling shot by Ronaldo almost fooled Dida, but he managed to palm it away. Kaka then had a solo effort to lift Milan into the lead, as he managed to beat out three defenders, two of which collided with each other, and curl the ball past Van Der Sar. Milan continued to pressure and Kaka nearly had a hat-trick off a 30-yard drive, but Van Der Sar saved well.

United started brightly in the second half, clearly not wanting a home loss in the Champions League, and Carrick should have done better as he volleyed wide off a corner from Giggs. Kaka continued to threaten for Milan, but could not get his attempts on target. then played a cheeky scooped ball into Rooney within the box, and after controlling it on his chest, the Englishman slid the ball under Dida to tie the match. United pushed for the winning goal, and they eventually earned it in stoppage time as a through ball by Giggs found Rooney, and his first time strike flew past an out of position Dida to earn Rooney the brace, and give United the advantage for the second leg.

Milans next match comes this Saturday against in the  as they try to clinch a Champions League berth for next season, while United take on  at, as they are in a tight race with  for the Premier League title. The second leg between the two will take place on May 2 at the in Milan.

Thailand orders Ample Rich directors to pay US$616 million taxes

April 24, 2007

Thailand's anti-corruption body, the Assets Examination Committee (AEC) has instructed the country's tax authorities to issue a tax bill to the company set up by ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The amount is US$616 million, or 20.89 billion baht.

The company Ample Rich is registered in the British Virgin Islands, however the AEC stated the company could not evade corporate tax due to their operations taking place within the Kingdom of Thailand.

With two of Thaksin's children on the board of directors of the company, and earlier rulings on tax liability, the Bangkok Post reports that the total tax liability for the Shinawatra family has now risen to 27.44 billion baht.

The main reason given by the AEC for the tax bill is the underpriced selling of Shin corporation shares to the Thaksin children at 1 baht per share only days prior to the sale of the company to Temasek holdings. The actual sale of Shin Corp. sparked street protests in Bangkok as the then-Prime Minister was accused of profiting from selling a national asset after changing the law to allow the sale to be tax-free.

Entire fossilized forest found in Illinois, USA

April 24, 2007

A 300 million-year-old fossilized rain forest has been found, in its entirety, outside Georgetown, Illinois, United States. Coal miners called in scientists to look at a vast and dense seam of fossils they found in a mine. It is the largest fossilized forest ever to be found. It is about the size of San Francisco, California or 10,000 hectares [10 km by 10 km] and is said to be the first rain forest ever to exist on Earth.

"The forest is composed of a bizarre mixture of extinct plants: abundant club mosses, more than 40 metres high, towering over a sub-canopy of tree ferns, intermixed with shrubs and tree-sized horsetails. Nowhere elsewhere on the planet is it possible to (literally) walk through such an extensive swathe of Carboniferous rainforest," said a press release by the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.

In forests, over time, the leaves, branches and other material will build up, layer after layer with the oldest layer on the bottom, and the youngest layer at the top. The scientists observed the layers on the top of the mine shaft.

"It was an amazing experience. We drove down the mine in an armored vehicle, until we were a hundred meters below the surface. The fossil forest was rooted on top of the coal seam, so where the coal had been mined away the fossilized forest was visible in the ceiling of the mine. The fossilized forest was preserved following a major earthquake 300 million years ago," said Howard Falcon-Lang, paleobotanist with the University of Bristol, who observed the fossil.

The forest was estimated to contain trees that were more than 130 feet high. It also contained a variety of smaller trees, shrubs and ferns. One fossil was shaped like an asparagus stalk, but was the size of a small tree.

It is believed that the forest was buried in nearly a flash after the land was pushed downward, below sea level, after a massive earthquake burying the forest "forever."

"The fossilized forest was preserved following a major earthquake 300 million years ago. The quake caused the whole region to drop below sea level whereupon the forest became buried in mud, preserving it forever," added the press release.

The forest is dated to have been alive in the Carboniferous period.

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

Welcome!

124.176.69.148, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

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:

Here are some other hints and tips:

 * I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the 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 10:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Generally, you don't need a template to display image. You simply just type. I fixed it, but was waiting to see if you had gotten it :-) Happy editing :-) DragonFire1024 10:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

9 US soldiers killed in Iraq bombing; 20 others wounded

April 24, 2007 A suicide car bomber detonated explosives at a U.S. military outpost in the Province of Diyala in the city of Baqubah, Iraq. It killed at least 9 United States soldiers and wounded at least 20 other soldiers. 15 were treated at a medical post and later released to return to duty. The remaining 5 were transferred to another medical center where they will receive further medical attention.

"We have seen a lot of recent attacks up in Diyala... that have been part of the fight for the province," said Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Garver, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq.

A militant group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq claimed in a statement they posted on a website: "Two knights from the Islamic State in Iraq ... [in] two booby-trapped trucks hit the heart of the Crusader American headquarters in the region of Diyala."

At least 3,333 American troops have been killed since 2003 when the U.S. invaded Iraq.

Turkey's governing party names Abdullah Gül as presidential candidate

April 24, 2007

Abdullah Gül, current deputy prime minister and foreign minister of Turkey, has been named as the new presidential candidate by his party, the Justice and Development Party (AKP).

In Turkey, the parliament votes to elect the new President of Turkey. The AKP has 353 of the 550 seats in Grand National Assembly of Turkey. While Gül may not get elected in the first or second round, when a two-thirds majority is needed, their votes are enough to elect the new president at the third or fourth rounds of the election process, when a simple majority is needed. The first round will take place on Friday.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced Gül's selection on Tuesday. The decision comes in the wake of a very large demonstration aimed at dissuading Erdoğan from running himself. Erdoğan said that Gül was "the person who emerged at the end of our evaluations as the candidate to become Turkey's 11th president."

Both the current president, Ahmet Necdet Sezer, and the influential head of the Turkish Armed Forces, General Yaşar Büyükanıt have stressed that the new president must defend Turkey's secular values. To that end Gül said: "the president must be loyal to secular principles... The president must be bound by the basic principles of the constitution... If I am elected I will act accordingly."

The main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), hinted that it may nominate its own candidate to challenge Gül.

20 tons of cocaine seized by US Coast Guard

April 24, 2007 The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has seized 20 tons or nearly 40,000 pounds of cocaine with a street value of over US$500 million in what authorities call one of the largest cocaine busts in history.

Three busts in total were made in a period of nearly one month. The first on February 19, off the coast of Mexico, March 18 off the coast of Panama and on March 25, also off the coast of Panama.

In the first bust on February 19, "the Ecuadorian-flagged fishing vessel Don Juan K was approached in the Pacific Ocean February 19 off the coast of Mexico while allegedly offloading cocaine into "go-fast" (cigarette-style boat) boats. The fishing vessel's crew apparently set fire to Don Juan K in an attempt to destroy the evidence and flee in the go-fasts. The USCGC Sherman stopped the go-fasts and recovered about 900 pounds of cocaine as Don Juan K sank. The 14 crew members are being processed for further legal action," said a statement on the USCG's website.

The second bust on March 18 yielded nearly 40,000 pounds of cocaine.

"The 330-foot Panamanian-flagged motor vessel Gatun was interdicted in the Pacific Ocean Mar. 18 off the coast of Panama while heading north toward the United States. Sherman's crew stopped and boarded the vessel and found 765 bales of cocaine weighing approximately 38,000 pounds in two shipping containers. Gatun was escorted back to Panama and its 14 crew members processed for further legal action," added the statement.

In the third bust on March 25, at least 2,000 pounds of cocaine was seized, also from a ship off Panama's coast.

"[The] Sherman's crew stopped and boarded a small stateless go-fast in the Pacific Ocean Mar. 25 off the coast of Panama following a short chase, in which, the go-fast attempted to flee at a high rate of speed. Approximately 2,000 pounds of cocaine was found aboard the go-fast and its four crew members were processed for further legal action," said the statement.

Several agencies both in the U.S. and in other countries in Central and South America and will continue to investigate the extent of the drug ring.

"The Coast Guard works in close coordination with Joint Interagency Task Force South, U.S. Attorney's office, Panama Express South, DEA, FBI, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Departments of Justice, State and Homeland Security on counter drug operations in the Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. These drug smuggling routes are some of the most active, yielding roughly 70 percent of the cocaine seized annually by the Coast Guard," added the statement.

Talk:20 tons of cocaine seized by US Coast Guard

 * Comment 80% of this article seems to be quotes from the Coast Guard statement.--SVTCobra 15:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * you can reformat or remove some, but since all the info needed was in the press releases, I did not see a point in using news sources. DragonFire1024 15:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think that as a journalist, you should just accept a government website as your sole source. I think it goes against neutrality and such. I agree, the Coast Guard lying about a drug bust is probably low risk. But how do think people would react if you used the Marine Corps website as your sole source for an article about Guantánamo? Or how would you react, if I wrote an article about Iranian nuclear weapons, citing only Iranian gov't websites? --SVTCobra 15:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

170.211.231.130, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

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:
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Here are some other hints and tips:

 * I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikinews, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username.  (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)

 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the 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! — Fellow Wiki  Newsie  16:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, thanks for experimenting with Wikinews. Your test worked, and has now been reverted or removed. Please use Sandbox for any other tests you want to do, since testing in articles may disrupt the site's working and will be reverted quickly. — Fellow Wiki  Newsie  17:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Eh, ignore what I put in the history. Our auto-templating system isn't very descriptive. Don't test in articles. This is your second warning, and you will be blocked if you repeatedly do such. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
