US Naval officer temporarily relieved for "possible supremacist activities"

March 31, 2007

On March 7, 2007, the US Navy has relieved Lieutenant Commander John F. Sharpe of his duties pending an investigation into allegations that he was involved in supremacist activities.

Sharpe served as public affairs officer for the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, which is currently undergoing repairs in Newport News, Virginia.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) says Sharpe runs the Legion of St. Louis and IHS Press, organizations that allegedly espouse anti-Semitic views.

Creating a country infobox
Note: as an alternative to these instructions, there is an alternative method of creating country infoboxes, that some people may find easier. See template:Country Infoboxes for instructions on this alternate method.

Name

 * The name of your template should be Template:Countryname, remembering to replace Countryname with your countries name.
 * Example: Template:Uruguay

 * The full url of your template should be  http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Template:Countryname , remembering to replace Countryname with your countries name.
 * Example: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Template:Uruguay

Code
Just copy and paste the code, making sure to replace Countryname with your countries name like Uruguay.

To write, edit, start or view other articles on Countryname, see the Countryname Portal

[[file:Flag of Countryname.svg|center|width=60x45px|link=Portal:Countryname}}  An infobox for Countryname and its news. Are newer articles not showing? Refresh

Images
Sometimes, the image of a countries map or flag may have a different name then shown in the template above. If this is the case, please check Wikimedia Commons to see what the correct picture name is for the country you creating the template for.

Some suggestions:
 * If a country is composed of two or more words, try removing the space between the words
 * Example: instead of Image:LocationUnited Kingdom.png, use Image:LocationUnitedKingdom.png

 * You can even try adding a word into the file name, such as of or the
 * Example: instead of Image:Flag of United Kingdom.svg, use Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg

 * Try changing the file extension from .png to .svg and vice versa

Example
Here is an example of the above template being used for the country Uruguay :

 * Note, I modified some of the above templates to remove stuff like orcer=addcategory, which is non-sensical. (you were probably thinking about order, but it defaults to that anyways, so its not needed.
 * I also tried making a different, meta-template based system, that i think might be easier. see Country Infobox, and New Jersey for a instructions, and an example respectivly. Bawolff ☺☻ 07:55, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

UEFA Euro 2008: March 24th qualification game roundup

March 24, 2007 A full slate of qualification matches for the 2008 Euro occurred Saturday with several shock results surfacing. Two of the biggest matches of the weekend were Spain v Denmark and the Czech Republic v Germany, with Germany and Spain both pulling out 2-1 wins respectively.

England visited Israel but were only able to manage a 0-0 draw as the finishing by the English side was poor. Other draws included Albania v Slovenia (0-0), Moldova v Malta (1-1), and Holland v Romania (0-0).

Kazakhstan earned their first win in competitive play with a 2-1 victory over Serbia, while Ukraine defeated the Faroe Islands by a scoreline of 2-0. Stephen Ireland scored the only goal as the Rebuplic of Ireland defeated Wales 1-0 in Ireland. Scotland pulled off a win at home to Georgia with Craig Beattie scoring a goal in the dying minutes to give them a morale boosting 2-1 victory. Croatia also won at home with a 2-1 victory over Macedonia.

Belarus went into Luxembourg where the visitors came out 2-1 victors, while France also won away at Lithuania. Cyprus fell 3-1 to visiting Slovakia, and Russia won 2-0 in Estonia. Bosnia was another team to win away, as they pulled off a 2-1 victory in Norway. David Healy scored a natural hat-trick for Northern Ireland as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Liechtenstein, while Turkey pulled off a shock win in Greece as they defeated the current holders by the same scoreline. Portugal put four by Belgium, as Christiano Ronaldo scored two for the Portuguese.

Another full schedule of qualifiers is set for this Wednesday, and big group games include Northern Ireland v Sweeden and Italy v Scotland. England will look to get their qualifying campaign back on track in Andorra, and Greece will attempt the same in Malta.

US charges Australian David Hicks

March 26, 2007

David Hicks of Australia became the first to be charged under the new Military Commissions Act as he appeared before a military judge at Guantanamo Bay to face charges of providing material support to a terrorist organization. The 31-year-old Australian's lawyers have been considering a plea bargain, in hopes he can be handed to Australian custody. It is alleged that Hicks, a convert, attended  training camps and fought with the. He was captured in 2001 in Afghanistan where, according to his father, he was on a religious pilgrimage.

Hicks sought to expand his defense team, but two of his lawyers were disqualified by the military judge. One of them, Joshua Dratel, refused to sign a document setting out the rules for the tribunal. Hicks said he was "shocked" to lose another lawyer.

Guantanamo detainee David Hicks pleads guilty to providing "material support"

March 27, 2007

David Hicks of Australia who has been detained by the United States since 2001, pleaded guilty on Monday to charges of providing material support to terrorist organizations.

Hicks answered "yes, sir," when the judge, Marine Colonel Kohlmann, asked if "guilty" was in fact his plea. The plea appears to be the result of an agreement between prosecutors and defense attorneys. Under a long-standing agreement, Hicks will be able to serve his sentence in Australia.

Hicks is the first detainee to face prosecution at the U.S. Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba under revised military tribunal laws. He was accused of attending training camps and briefly fighting alongside the  in Afghanistan.

Ontario ombudsman hands over lottery investigation to police

March 27, 2007

At a news conference in Toronto, Canada on March 26, 2007, Ontario Ombudsman André Marin called on the provincial government to transfer regulation of its lottery system from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. This request follows an investigation the ombudsman's office undertook, 3 months ago, into the allegations of theft and fraud carried out by ticket retailers.

The results of the investigation into the allegations were detailed in Marin's report, entitled A Game of Trust, released earlier in the day. The OLG has been ordered to transfer relevant files over to the Ontario Provincial Police, to determine whether a criminal investigation is warranted.

"The OLG is fixated on profit rather than on public service," Marin suggested in his opening statement. "It is too close to its retailers, who are not just its frontline sales force but some of its best customers," he continued. "It has lost sight of the fact that it is supposed to be a guardian of the public trust."

The investigation was launched by Marin at his own intitiative, rather than in response to an individual complaint. Ombudsman investigators looked into the case of Bob Edmonds, a 78-year-old man who was cheated out of a CA$250,000 winning ticket by an unscrupulous retailer, as highlighted in a CBC television exposé. Over the course of the investigation, the Ombudsman’s Office received more than 400 other complaints related to OLG.

Marin indicated that, since 1999, "at least 247 retail owners or their employees have won major lottery prizes", some of which he acknowledged were legitimate. He also reported that the OLG paid out "millions of dollars in prizes to retailers making dishonest claims...in amounts anywhere from $250,000 to $12.5 million."

Marin found a systemic pattern of wrongdoing by some retailers, who he deemed to be the OLG's "partners in profit", with the OLG overlooking the abuse. Marin suggested that rather than get tough, "the OLG actually considered relaxing the rules on insiders."

In his report, Marin proposed 23 recommendations including a zero-tolerance policy for retailer dishonesty, an adjudicative process to deal with disputed prize claims, a retailer code of conduct and the use of “secret shoppers” to test the retailers adherence to it.

"We accept the findings of these reports and the organization is moving quickly to implement the recommendations," said OLG Board Chair Michael Gough in a news release. "OLG has learned a great deal from the Ombudsman's report. It is fair, comprehensive and thoughtful," continued Gough.

The total revenue from lotteries to the provincial government in Ontario for fiscal 2005-2006 was CA$6.36 billion. News of the resignation of OLG's CEO Duncan Brown, was reported just days before the ombudsman's report was tabled.

Liberal minority government elected in Quebec

March 27, 2007

According to preliminary official results, Jean Charest's Parti libéral du Québec have won a minority government in today's Quebec general election with 48 seats in total. The Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ) are currently in second with 41 seats, the Parti Québécois (PQ) are in third place with 36 seats. About 63 seats are required for a majority government in Quebec. The Quebec Liberals won 76 seats in the 2003 election.

Premier Jean Charest, 48, won a close race for his seat in Sherbrooke, despite having already been declared defeated by a PQ candidate. Quebec's chief electoral officer telephoned the premier to relay the news that he had retained his seat. CBC's French language network Télévision de Radio-Canada indicated the initial results were erroneous.

The ADQ have won well over the seats needed for them to have official party status. In the 2003 Quebec election they won a total of 4 seats, and would have needed 8 more seats to obtain party status. In the 2003 election, the ADQ garnered 21% of the vote. If the results of the 2007 election holds, with 31% of the vote for the ADQ, it would represent a significant gain for the party.

The Liberal campaign, under Charest's leadership, stumbled in the latter stages of the campaign when Charest allotted a $700 million windfall, in the form of a transfer from the federal Conservative government, to tax cuts for Quebecers. The move to apply the money so quickly to tax cuts during the campaign, resonated with some as a cynical move to buy votes, and may have harmed the Liberal chances.

The results represent a substantial drop in fortune for the PQ, which entered the election with 45 seats. It is expected that PQ leader André Boisclair may be forced to resign the leadership.

This is the first minority government in Quebec in more than 100 years since the year 1878. Compared to the 2003 election, voter turnout is up by approximately 3%, according to Elections Quebec.

Ribena fined over misleading advertising

March 27, 2007

The makers of blackcurrant-flavoured drink Ribena, GlaxoSmithKline, are in a New Zealand court today after it was discovered that the company's 55-year advertising campaign is misleading to consumers. Ribena had promoted the drink as being rich in vitamin C, with four times as much as oranges, and claimed the "Ready to Drink" Ribena had 7mg of vitamin C per 100ml. Tests have shown that "Ready to Drink" Ribena does not have any detectable vitamin C content.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), an international leading healthcare company second only to Pfizer, pleaded guilty to all 15 charges laid against them by New Zealand's Commerce Commission in Auckland's District Court. GSK did, however, fight the expected fine of up to $350,000 and corrective advertisements, proposing instead a $60,000 fine with no corrective advertisements. In the end, they were fined $217,000 for their breaches of New Zealand's fair trading act, and will have to publish correcting advertisements.

It was first revealed that Ribena did not contain any traces of vitamin C when two 14-year-old Pakuranga College students did tests. At first Anna Devathasan and Jenny Suo thought they had conducted their tests incorrectly, so they tried again, but the same result came up. They contacted the firm three times, and approached the Commerce Commission after receiving no response.

Ms Devathasan said, "We did the study for a bit of fun."

A study in January 2007 also revealed that the drink contains only 5% actual blackcurrant juice.

They were an inspiration for me. I am also having a few ideas for new ways that Spoken Wikinews can be used on Wikinews to further increase the usability of it. I'll probably detail them on the Audio talk page before long! --Skenmy 17:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Original reporting
I need to see some confirmation of original reporting so I can label the Google Checkout article with it. I don't believe that using a press release exactly counts. I mean, if were at a press confrence or watched it on television and take notes, then sure, that would be original. --TUFKAAP 16:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope - I can agree with you on that one. It's literally just transferred from Press Release to News Article - not exactly original. I labelled it as Original because it wasn't just a write up of a different news article. Thanks! --Skenmy(talk) 18:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Reconsider Accred. Request
Paul, reconsider the accred. request in a couple of weeks. I think you have a great idea, personally. In fact, I was going to start a conversation at the water cooler about photojournalism and what people thought its ramifications where with regard to Wikinews. Your request had a few supports and a couple of neutrals, but no unsupports. It might have been going places, if slowly.

In the interim, show people what photojournalism can do if you want. I'm sure you can deal with some stories and take some pictures without a press pass.

I like the idea. The reason I didn't say so in your accred. request page is because I've been here a grand total of five days and as such my support wouldn't carry any weight. -Richard 'Doc' Kinne 21:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Iraq, Syria, Iran restore diplomatic relations.
Yes, I agree my title was a bit too light for such a momentous event - but the new title is may not be strictly true. The memorandum between Iraq and Syria is a promise to set up embassies etc, and could be said to re-estalish diplomatic relations after a break. I am not too sure about the status of relations between Iraq and Iran, whether they were ever broken or whether this proposed meeting actually restores them. I think Presidents of both have been meeting before. Unfortunately I cannot linger to research this. Best wishes Fentonrobb 21:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

On Publication of Israel's Supreme Court recognizes foreign same-sex marriages
Thanks, Paul, for the publication. For some reason I always forget about the categories!! :-) -Richard 'Doc' Kinne 21:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

On Not News Articles
Thanks for the comment, Paul. The more I thought about them, especially the article about the fire issues, the more I could see the POV issues, yes. Also, the problem is that they are not citing any sources at all, and have no original reporting notes. Also, as you noted, it has a by-line which we don't do (I should have taken that out).

What I think probably happened here, honestly, is that someone new came in here with no particular account, and submitted the story. I wouldn't be shocked if it was lifted from somewhere else, but I have no proof of that. Without sources, or OR notes, we can't publish it as it is, no. What is worse is that I wouldn't be surprised if the original poster never knows about the problems in the article and never can make an attempt to fix them.

That being said, something like this potentially smacks of original reporting which is something that I'd love to be able to encourage where possible. I think the stories themselves, written to our style, and properly attributed, could be regarded as news.

I'm about to submit a story which is not from the world headlines, and has OR aspects to it. I'll be interesting to see what the community response is.

Your comments, as always, Paul, are appreciated!! -Richard 'Doc' Kinne 18:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

UK prepared to go 'into different phase' if sailors and marines not released by Iran within days

March 27, 2007

On Tuesday Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair said in a televised interview that if the 15 sailors and marines who were arrested by Iranian forces are not released then Britain will be forced to "move into a different phase" of operations, and that Iran has only days to release all 15 sailors and marines.

"I hope we manage to get them [the Iranian government] to realize they have to release them. If not, then this will move into a different phase. I hope that this is resolved in the next few days," said Blair also adding that it would be "easier for all of us."

He was asked if he could elaborate on what he meant and responded by saying that "we will just have to see, but what they should understand is that we cannot have a situation where our servicemen and women are seized when actually they are in Iraqi waters under a UN mandate, patrolling perfectly rightly and in accordance with that mandate, and then effectively captured and taken to Iran."

The sailors and marines from the frigate HMS Cornwall had been inspecting, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1723, a ship that was believed to be smuggling cars into Iraq (though it was subsequently cleared after inspection), when Iranian gunboats surrounded the sailors and arrested them at gunpoint.

Blair also added that the British government is still trying to resolve the issue by "diplomatic means."

"What we are trying to do at the moment is to pursue this through the diplomatic channels and make the Iranian government understand these people have to be released and that there is absolutely no justification whatever for holding them," added Blair.

Iran stated Tuesday that the sailors and marines are being treated "humanely" and are in "good health."

"They are in completely good health. Rest assured that they have been treated with humanitarian and moral behavior," said Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad Ali Hosseini who also added that the one female sailor had "complete privacy."

On Sunday, The Australian reported that an internet website "run by associates of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" states that the 15 British sailors who were arrested by Iranian Revolutionary Guards could face charges of espionage. The source website for this claim remains unknown; however, Rajanews.com, a news website run by some of supporters of Ahmadinejad said on their website: "If the charges of espionage is brought against them the result would be heavy punishment by current law."

A woman found buried in sand in a bathtub has been named as missing Briton Lindsay Ann Hawker.

The body of the 22-year-old English language teacher was identified by colleagues after it had been found on the balcony of a flat in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. She arrived from England about three months ago, and worked in a conversation school.

Police in Chiba prefecture are hunting a man who fled the apartment, to which she went each Saturday to give lessons to a Mr Tatsuya Ichihachi.

Talk:UK prepared to go 'into different phase' if sailors and marines not released by Iran within days

DO NOT USE  tags on articles, there is a perfectly good sources template that should be used. Ref is for encyclopedic content. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry...just copied and pasted. DragonFire1024 10:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't notice it was you responsible, I hate that tag and the ugly [1] and [2] you end up with littered through the article. It's just an invitation to go read someone else's story. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup I agree...I just didn't relaize it was there til it was removed :) DragonFire1024 10:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

"Iran's semi-official FARS News Agency reported the same day that the captives were taken to Tehran to explain their "aggressive behavior," and that they had confessed to trespassing into Iranian waters." That is from cnn. Agressive behaviour might be an excuse even outside territorial waters? I feel sympathy because i have myself just been harrased by military in uniform i guess. anyway i just want to put forward that blairs quoot suggest the person writing the article, wants iran attacked. Since there is no comment on the legal absurdity of Blairs statement. I agree with people that say we don't know if there is any excuse, but for Blair that is not a very good excuse, as media need to support his (illegal)view and hide the iranian in a few bottomlines.80.57.243.16 18:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It should really be added that Brigadier-General Hakim Jassim (commander of Iraq's territorial waters) has said to Associated Press...

"We were informed by Iraqi fishermen after they had returned from sea that there were British gunboats in an area that is out of Iraqi control. "

Whatever?
The quote thingy says, "... there is absolutely no justification whatever for holding them.". Wouldn't it be more correct to say "... there is absolutely no justification whatsoever for holding them."? And that sounds more like a Blair-ish thing to say. "Whatever" just seems wrong there. Jon Harald Søby 21:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well we can't go changing quotes just because their grammatically incorrect. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments:UK prepared to go 'into different phase' if sailors and marines not released by Iran within days

"different phases"
This is basically one step short of saying war. DragonFire1024 10:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I dunno, I followed the BBC's "Have Your Say" on this, and the top rated comments could be summed up as "Give our boys (and girls) back or we nuke you 'till you glow". Somehow I can't see Tony saying "We are now at war with Iran", he's too much of a weaselly politician to be that blunt. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * He's not going to war over it, certainly not as long as they are unharmed. "Different phases" probably means expelling some diplomats, freezing some assets or going to the SC. --+Deprifry+ 12:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Should just park the entire Royal Navy in Iranian waters.82.34.76.126 17:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

He probably means sanctions.

Talk:Ontario ombudsman hands over lottery investigation to police

It's great to see that people have picked up on the template. I'm always pleased to see an article where it gets used - and as someone other than me added it here - I'm even happier. People remember to use it, and it is a great decoration when you're lacking a graphic or photo.

On the topic of graphics or photos, does the lottery in question have a logo that could be used here? --Brian McNeil / talk 11:43, 27 March 2007 (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 WizardOfWor. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name WizardOfWor~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 23:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

NFL: Eagles trade for Spikes, Holcomb

March 26, 2007 Takeo Spikes is no longer a member of the Buffalo Bills. Spikes was involved in a trade Monday that sent the 2-time Pro-Bowl linebacker, as well as backup quarterback Kelly Holcomb to the Philadelphia Eagles for defensive tackle  Darwin Walker and an undisclosed draft pick, probably in a later round of the  draft. Of Spikes, Eagles general manager Tom Heckert said: "Takeo Spikes is a proven playmaker in the  National Football League." Heckert added, "He has the ability to play all three linebacking positions and were happy to add him to our defense."

Spikes has dealt with injuries throughout his career, missing 13 games in 2005 with an Achillies tendon injury. He also missed four games this past season with problems in his hamstring. Despite his injuries, Spikes has been a playmaker for Buffalo, and previously for Cincinnati, rolling up 878 tackles, 21.5 sacks, 12 interceptions, 12 forced fumbles, and 14 fumble recoveries.

Kelly Holcomb, also involved in the deal, is 33 years old, with 11 years experience as the backup quarterback in Indianapolis,  Cleveland, and most recently Buffalo. Holcomb spent the 2006 season behind J.P. Losman.

Darwin Walker is a 7-year veteran of the league. In that time span, Walker has accumulated 170 tackles, 27.5 sacks, and 5 fourced fumbles, as well as 5 recoveries.

Major Pakistan newspaper under government pressure

March 28, 2007

The publisher Dawn Group has been under increasing pressure from the government to stop negative coverage of events happening on the troubled Pakistan-Afghanistan border as well as recent events in the troubled province of Balochistan.

A series of emails written last week by Hameed Haroon, the managing CEO of Dawn Goup and Pakistan's biggest English language newspaper, the Dawn, have been circulated over the Internet. The emails allege that the government is depriving the newspaper of advertising revenue as a means of placing increasing pressure on it.

Mr. Haroon wrote, "It has always been difficult for governments to coexist with a free and independent press in Pakistan. Of late, however, the government headed by President Musharraf has become increasingly intolerant towards criticism in the press and towards the publishing of news that reflects poorly on the performance of his government on security matters." according to AsiansInMedia.org.

The allegations came recently after the offices of the Geo TV network and its affiliates, a media group unrelated to Dawn Group, were stormed by Islamabad police while the network was airing live video coverage of unrest caused by the dismissal of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.

The President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf has denied his government is targeting the media, and in the controversy sparked by the revelations insisted that he supports press freedom. "I granted freedom which the (Pakistani) media enjoys today," he said in a speech delivered Saturday in Pakpattan.

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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

Mr Allister said that party colleagues had been "lured by office" and that he had not returned to politics in 2004 to "help ease Sinn Féin into Government". He acknowledged that although he had fought within the DUP against Sinn Féin being permitted to be members of the, he had failed to persuade the vast majority of the party's ruling executive on the issue. Yesterday, Ian Paisley, DUP leader, and Gerry Adams, Sinn Féin President, agreed to enter into a power sharing executive in May.
