The {{w|Boeing Starliner}}, the spacecraft which had been expected to transport the crew from ISS earlier in June, would return to Earth "un-crewed" &mdash; on autopilot with planned landing in a desert in [[New Mexico]], possibly next month, the NASA announcement said. [[File:Boeing's Starliner crew ship approaches the space station (iss067e066735) (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Boeing's Starliner crew ship approaches the space station. {{image credit|Bob Hines/NASA}}]] [[File:Iss071e052057.jpg|thumb|left|Spacex Crew Dragon Endeavour approaching the ISS in May 2024 during {{W|Crew-8}}. {{image credit|NASA Johnson Space Center}}]] On its way to the ISS, Starliner has experienced helium leaks and several thruster malfunctions, which, according to National Public Radio ([[NPR]], "inexplicably conked out as Starliner approached the station.". {{w|Steve Stich}}, the manager of NASA's {{w|Commercial Crew Program}}, said they didn't know if Starliner's thrusters would fail at critical moments. The Starliner test flight was Boeing's first crewed space mission; three previous attempts for this crewed mission had failed. The two NASA astronauts had been launched during {{w|Boeing Starliner Crewed Test Flight|Starliner's crewed test flight}} on June 5 for what was expected to be an eight-day long mission to the ISS. A successful mission is a requirement to certify Starliner for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Due to the change of plans, the astronauts would remain at ISS for several months as part of {{W|Expedition 71/72}}. [[Boeing]] wrote on social media about its commitment to safety and to cooperation with NASA, as they were continuing "to focus, first and foremost, on the safety of the crew and spacecraft. We are executing the mission as determined by NASA, and we are preparing the spacecraft for a safe and successful uncrewed return." The Crew Dragon would carry two astronauts to the ISS instead of the planned 4 to allow room for Williams and Wilmore, NASA announced. NASA said that SpaceX would reportedly leave Earth in September for the planned {{W|Crew-9}} mission, with a change of plans to have only two crew on board, so that the remaining two free seats will be available for the stranded astronauts to return on Earth in February. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon—certified in 2020—will undergo some changes before launching on September 24. The preparation to bring Williams and Wilmore home to their families includes additional cargo, adjusting the seats for the Dragon, and Dragon-specific spacesuits for the two astronauts. The preparation also adds in a contingency plan, providing the two a flight home on the Crew-8 spacecraft. To date, SpaceX had completed nine crewed flights to space for NASA and several commercial flights, BBC reported. == Sources == *{{source |url= https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-spacex-extend-us-media-deadline-for-crew-9-launch-to-station/ |title= NASA, SpaceX Extend US Media Deadline for Crew-9 Launch to Station |author= Abbey A.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 00:00, 12 September 2024 (UTC) === {{User-rights|Michael.C.Wright}}=== I am nominating myself for reviewer. En.WN became my 'home wiki' in March 2023 and I have 20 articles published[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)], with more written but left to go stale in the review queue and ultimately deleted. If reviewer permissions are granted, I will work as much as possible with other reviewers using {{tl|pre-review}} for them to gauge my reviewing chops, so-to-speak. I will also be available via IRC for real-time coaching of reviews, if that is an option for the mentoring reviewer. I proposed the current pre-review process in April[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy/archives/2024/June#Review_and_Admin_fast_track,_to_reinvigorate_English_Wikinews], though I am not the first to propose such a scheme. Along with others, I helped develop the {{tl|pre-review}} template and a proposed policy/guideline[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Pre-Reviewing] with the goal of providing editors with a way to develop reviewer skills. Through the process of creating and testing the pre-review system, I have gained a deeper understanding of what it takes to review an article. This is not to imply that I have all the answers or that I won't make mistakes. The following pre-reviews are available as examples:[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Hezbollah_fires_rockets_at_the_Golan_Heights], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Human_Rights_Watch_finds_intentional_targeting_of_civilians_by_Hamas], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Police_kill_woman_after_mental_health_call_by_brother,_police_say_in_Fort_Lee,_New_Jersey], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Russia_says_that_Ukraine_has_launched_an_incursion_into_Kursk_Oblast], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Two_people_found_dead_in_Bel_Air,_Maryland_house_explosion], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Ukraine_reports_Russia%27s_losses_since_the_invasion], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Tens_of_thousands_of_people_join_the_Israeli_day_parade] I use the following checklist when performing pre-reviews and will continue to use it with reviews: [[User:Michael.C.Wright/review-checklist]]. I strongly believe that without additional reviewers, this project fails. If I am granted reviewer privileges, I will actively work to develop and mentor other editors to become reviewers and also work to improve the pre-review/review system to help prevent inactive periods in the future. To be transparent, I am indefinitely blocked on Wikipedia.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Michael.C.Wright] Since the block, I've been active on other projects, especially this one, where my edit history reflects consistently constructive, and collaborative contributions. Thank you in advance for your consideration and any feedback you may provide. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 15:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC) ====Stats==== {{RfP/stats|Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright}} ====Questions and comments==== * Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], could you please link to three articles in which you most successfully communicated with article author to make improvements. (I know this can be challenging, some articles were deleted) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 20:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC) :*[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Police_kill_woman_after_mental_health_call_by_brother,_police_say_in_Fort_Lee,_New_Jersey] The source articles differed in how they covered the knife and our article needed to somehow reflect that or avoid saying whether the victim had it in hand or not. In the end the author chose to remove our statement that she had the knife. That article went stale in the review queue. :* [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Vladimir_Putin_threatens_to_give_allies_weapons_to_attack_West] Our article misquoted a source. As part of my initial pass of copy-editing, I removed the misquote, which turned out to be the only fact pulled from another source, which I then recommended the author remove as an unused source (removing the source myself would disqualify me as an objective evaluator). The author was able to instead correct the quote and keep the source. The article was ultimately published. :* [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Hezbollah_fires_rockets_at_the_Golan_Heights] The author had written a series of articles covering the Israel-Palestine conflict and the last paragraph of each article was the same background information on the October 7 attack. There were statistics in the paragraph that were not supported in the sources. After a brief discussion, to include a reviewer, sources were added to support all statements of fact. That article went stale in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 23:40, 29 August 2024 (UTC) * How would you review current articles in newsroom? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 20:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC) :*If you are referring to the five articles currently in the review queue, I have already pre-reviewed two.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Photo_exhibition_%E2%80%9CEthnic_features_of_the_world_people%E2%80%9D_took_place_in_the_Crimean_capital], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:%22Machu_Picchu,_and_not_only...%22,_a_new_photo_exhibition_by_Viktor_Pinchuk_was_held_in_Crimea]. Both articles I evaluated are original reporting from the same original author. You can see not only extensive notes for the author and reviewer, but also a lengthy conversation happening between the author, another editor, and myself. I followed my [[User:Michael.C.Wright/review-checklist|review-checklist]] and took into consideration the precedents I knew about or could find. I also took into consideration the amount of page-views this author's articles generate, which is our primary goal; to generate page-views. In a perfect world, I would like to hear from another reviewer regarding how they would handle the ultimate publish/not-publish decision on both of those, given that reviewers in the past have begun to voice concern over future publishing of similar articles from the same author. I don't see consensus that we shouldn't, but I see more than one opinion heading in that direction. If I were the last reviewer on the planet, I would split the difference; I would publish the article 'Ethnic features of the world people' and not the second and explain to the author that future articles about his own exhibitions will not be considered newsworthy but he is encouraged to continue to write about <strike>exhibitions</strike> ''expeditions'' when they happen. Hopefully that answered your question. If not, please clarify. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 01:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC); edited 15:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC) :::I would like to add that I feel responsible to provide clear and detailed feedback in the pre-review so that the author has the best chance of understanding the rules and norms and can improve their work over time. I know first-hand how frustrating it can be to have an article fail publication with a vague explanation as to why. I have been accused of being too verbose, but I think the job of article evaluation justifies verbosity. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 01:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC) :::@[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] I disagree that generating page-views is our primary goal. By that logic, if I write misinformation that is clickbait and will get a bunch of views, is that good for Wikinews? According to that it would seem so... [[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]] ([[User talk:Me Da Wikipedian|talk]]) 01:35, 30 August 2024 (UTC) ::::I was not suggesting we simply throw content out there. At the core, page-views is what we're all about. A robust peer-review system helps to ensure we don't publish misinformation. A peer-review system is meant to catch instances of accidental misinformation such as misquotes, typos in casualty counts, etc. I am in favor of retaining a level of peer-review while driving up page-views through quality articles, published in a timely manner, about topics that readers are interested in reading. If we don't have readers (measured by page-views) we don't have a project. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 13:32, 30 August 2024 (UTC) * Could you write responses to points I proposed at water cooler/proposals, I would like to see your position about these points? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 20:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC) :* I have responded to them all and I would say my over-arching theme of responses is; we need to focus on solving the inactive reviewer problem as our top priority. ツ I'm not saying that because I'm volunteering for reviewer. I've been saying it for some time and its why I've been working mostly on the {{tl|pre-review}} project. Not publishing articles drives away authors and readers and without either of those, the project serves no purpose. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 13:26, 30 August 2024 (UTC) * Examples or 2 or 3 articles where the author was either too confused or too away to make edits you suggested, and how you handled it. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 20:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC) :*[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Photo_exhibition_%E2%80%9CEthnic_features_of_the_world_people%E2%80%9D_took_place_in_the_Crimean_capital] This is a good example. The confusion is not the fault of the author. The author is a long-time editor here and he produces original reporting of his own travels. His reporting on his exhibitions has long been published here by more than one reviewers and his articles are consistent in style and format. Therefore a precedent has been set. I have tried to convince the author that reporting on his own exhibitions is less noteworthy than reporting on his expeditions and reporting on his on exhibitions represents a conflict of interest. The author did add a clarifying statement to their user page to make clear he is both author and host. But he is adamant about reporting on his exhibitions and I don't blame or fault him. His work has long been published here. He is free to take my advice or leave it. I do look forward to a reviewer response to that review request. The resultant discussion, which has included other editors, needs to reach closure. :* [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:2024_Wayanad_landslides] The article went stale and I marked it as such. After it was later marked as abandoned, the original author started editing it again, but not with fresh sources. I left a comment in the talk page explaining our policy on freshness as well as how to cite sources. The author never responded, yet continued to edit the article, but not asking for a review. So I did nothing more until the article again met the abandoned criteria and I again marked it as abandoned. It remains abandoned and the author never responded to my comments. I don't know if the cause was confusion, language, or something else. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 00:02, 30 August 2024 (UTC) :* [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Ukraine_reports_Russia%27s_losses_since_the_invasion] This is a third example, though I wouldn't classify it as 'confused' or 'too away,' but it's an example of a recommendation that was not implemented. That article focuses entirely on Russian losses ''as reported by the Ukrainian government''. The only sources for the article are both Ukrainian government sites. I believe that does not satisfy the pillar of having two, mutually independent sources nor does it satisfy the pillar of neutrality.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Pillars_of_writing] I identified the problem and the author disagreed and has asked for others to find a source that supports the Russian side, but that would disqualify a reviewer as being too involved (reviewers can not add sources and remain objective). I would not publish that article without mutually independent source to verify the Ukrainian government numbers and without the Russian side being represented. If those sources aren't available to verify and/or repudiate, I don't see how the article in its current form can be published by us. It would amount to repeating propaganda. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 15:35, 30 August 2024 (UTC) * Someone at water cooler proposed to remove strictness of review or remove reviewing entirely, how would you respond to that? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 20:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC) :* This is quite a convoluted problem that I won't be able to fully cover here. The strictness makes reviewing articles time-consuming. It also often makes the published content higher in quality after peer-review. The question is; are we short on active reviewers because the review process is too time-consuming, or do we simply need more active reviewers to do the work? I think that question is better answered by reviewers. I would be in favor of exploring what a 'less-strict' review process looks like but I can't tell you what part of the review process I think could be scrapped. I think part of the solution is to develop a pipeline, or path to reviewer that helps train people on our policies, guidelines, norms, precedents, etc. That is pre-review. I also think we need to document all of the institutional knowledge that sits in the heads of just a few, because that is also a hinderance to bringing in new reviewers. There should not be a small group of reviewers who have exclusive understanding of the rules to the project. It also shouldn't have to be dug up from a years-old discussion between editors who are no longer active in the project. It's a long (and incomplete) answer, but it's a complicated problem. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 00:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC) * How many reviews do you estimate being available to carry out each month, given your busy schedule?

Without having routine reviews, writers can't see what it takes to successfully publish an article. MDW made a good point in another discussion.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy&diff=prev&oldid=4795887] To get us over this hump of inactive reviewers, we need current reviewers to at least help train new reviewers. I was prepared to support the promotion of [[User:Asheiou|Asheiou]][https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Flagged_revisions/Requests_for_permissions/Asheiou] with the understanding that she could be mentored by a seasoned and active reviewer. At the time we had a couple, [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] in particular, who I thought would do a great job of mentoring her (he is very thorough in reviewing and I hope he can mentor me if I become reviewer). I was withholding support for her promotion in hopes that she would work with some authors to get their articles published and demonstrate her abilities as an evaluator. She reviewed and published one article. She took a wikibreak shortly after her request for privileges failed—it was a bit of a bumpy ride of a request process. Privileges were given twice and taken away twice. We had an admin/reviewer who seemed to honestly want to do something radically different in fast-tracking reviewers and there seemed to be a few supporters of that notion, but not enough. So we went from having the possibility of another reviewer back to the status quo, which includes long periods without published content and lost (at least for now) a writer and potential reviewer. ::To directly answer your question; I can't. The only path I see where I would nominate three individuals right now is if we retain the current, strict, peer-review process and have at least two active reviewers available and willing to mentor and supervise multiple new reviewers for a while. Without active reviewers, I think multiple ''new'' reviewers would cause problems with corrections and possibly even retractions. I don't think we can manage to both promote multiple reviewers and effectively re-design the review process simultaneously. Like I said, we don't even have the manpower to upgrade our copyright license, which doesn't require active reviewers, but an active admin at this point. ::As part of my 'on-boarding' as reviewer, I propose to use {{tl|pre-review}} to evaluate articles. If a reviewer agrees with my pre-review, I will then make it a formal review. If no reviewer has evaluated my pre-review before the article goes stale and I have recommended in pre-review the article is published, I will proceed to publish the article. That way we have the opportunity to check my work and if no one is available to do so, we can still get articles published. There has not been a case where I have recommended an article be published and a reviewer has disagreed with that assessment (though there have been cases of me recommending publish but the article went stale). Keep in mind pre-review has not been in use for long and there haven't been a lot of active reviewers to see my pre-reviews. There are still plenty available now to look back on and evaluate. One can go through all the pages that link to template:pre-review[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Pre-review] and find my pre-reviews and evaluate them. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 14:34, 30 August 2024 (UTC) :::What if there we did "retain the current, strict, peer-review process and have at least two active reviewers available and willing to mentor and supervise multiple new reviewers for a while".

It's also meant to encourage those who do a pre-review to evaluate articles based on the [[WN:Pillars]], which are parameters of the template {{tl|pre-review}}.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 23:01, 10 September 2024 (UTC) ::::In addition to a large number of established readers, Wikipedia has the advantage of established content to be used as background and general info, and a huge number of users/authors. In that regard, they can be very nimble in producing content quickly and that content can then be informally peer-reviewed quickly once published. Wikipedia also has a reputation for being too ideologically driven[https://www.allsides.com/blog/wikipedia-biased] as well as inaccurate.[https://usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/what%E2%80%99s-wrong-wikipedia] Our peer-review system should be an advantage in producing quality content that is verifiable and neutral, but it is currently a hinderance to getting content merely published. This is not a new concern, but one expressed by many over multiple years. What's different now is the imminence of the Sibling Project Lifecycle. I don't know how we correct the problem without active reviewers and admins who want to correct the problem by either increasing the number of active reviewers or by changing the review system. I don't see the status quo as a viable pathway forward for the project. If we can't 'right the ship' so to speak, I see no advantage to consuming information from en.Wikinews over en.Wikipedia. We published only nine news articles in the month of August. Only eight were published in July. I don't understand how more reviewers and admin don't seem to see that as a problem worth fixing. I personally don't want to see en.WN merged with WP (and my request for reviewer privileges indicates my desire to help this project succeed). I also don't see our current trajectory as sustainable or viable and therefore a merge, ''in the absence of significant change here'', may be best route in the context of the Sibling Project Lifecycle.[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Procedure_for_Sibling_Project_Lifecycle/revised] In that context, it can be easily argued that we 1. lack impact on other Wikimedia projects and broader Internet infrastructure, 2. have a severe lack of community activity and 3. have a strong external project to merge with.

The event, dubbed "Mini Chase Pride" in materials published by the organisers, has been set up to provide an [[LGBTQ+]] space for the town after the Chase Pride planned for the end of August was cancelled due to issues with rising costs and "changes in Government legislation". Local group The Friends of Hednesford Park outfitted the town centre with a variety of LGBTQ+ imagery, including {{w|pride flags}}, a poster for local LGBTQ+ charity SAGE, and a banner reading Chase Pride and adorned with deer, an important local symbol featured on the logo of {{w|Cannock Chase district}}. The display was jointly funded by Hednesford Town Council (via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund) and the Council of Queers. In a [[Facebook]] comment, the group said it planned to host a "family craft workshop" to support the event and the market. On the day the event was originally scheduled to be held, local MP {{w|Josh Newbury}} posted a video to Facebook in which he praised The Friends of Hednesford Park for their pride decorations and celebrated the planned mini-pride. He shared his own experience as the constituency's "first out LGBT MP", saying "there was a time when I wished I wasn't gay, that I could just fit in, but through things like pride we realise that accepting yourself and being able to openly be who you are is the only way to live life to its fullest". Chase Pride's operations director Aiden Bowden spoke with ''Wikinews'' reporter Ash Thawley via email about the goals and challenges of Chase Pride. === Interview === {{WNIQ|Wikinews}} '''Why was Chase Pride's scheduled event cancelled this year?''' {{WNIR|Aiden Bowden}} The operating costs of Chase Pride are astronomical and grow year on year, the current state of the economy hasn’t helped things, 50% of the production costs of Chase Pride are normally covered by Grants and Corporate Sponsorship, however these become harder to secure. {{WNIQ}} '''The announcement post on Instagram says "we didn't think of it ourselves". Who thought of this idea and what was the planning like to make it into a reality?''' {{WNIR|Aiden Bowden}} We regularly engage with our community, Chase Pride isn’t just about a party once a year, it is about promoting diversity and championing inclusivity 365 days a year, we were inspired by a comment that went along the lines of ‘just because there isn’t a pride it doesn’t mean we can’t all meet in the park ourselves!’ It was at this point that we knew we just had to do something, leaving us just 8 days to throw something together. This is not going to be a grand affair, this is going to be small, low key, think traditional pride, a safe space for a day. {{WNIQ}} '''More broadly, what is the story of Chase Pride? Whose idea was it to host a pride festival in the Cannock Chase area to begin with, and what what were the goals of the event?''' {{WNIR|Aiden Bowden}} Chase Pride is the brain child of Kathryn Downs, a local transwoman who[se] experiences saw her wanting future generations to have an easier time coming out and/or transitioning in Cannock Chase. Having encountered significant hate and prejudice on her own journey, Kathryn felt more needed to be done to make Cannock Chase a welcoming place to live for the LGBTQ+ community. The idea soon took root on social media, with more than 50 people joining a Facebook group to discuss the possibility of bringing a Pride to the area. Following a rather cosy yet productive first meeting of the group in Kathryn's kitchen, Chase Pride was born with the aim of running a pride and other related events to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture and history, foster community cohesion through education, to signpost the community to help, support and advice, and to create a safe space where people could be themselves without fear of encountering hated or prejudice. {{WNIQ}} '''Does the planned "mini-pride" at Hednesford Market share these same goals?''' {{WNIR|Aiden Bowden}} Pride means something different to each and every single person, some enjoy being able to relax in a safe environment around fellow people, others like to reminisce on times gone by whilst thanking our forefathers for the fights they fought leading us to where we are today, there Is still an ever increasing need to fight for further equality to eradicate discrimination. {{WNIQ}} '''What are the limitations of not having a dedicated space for the event? Are there any advantages?''' {{WNIR|Aiden Bowden}} Clearly with having a limited timescale to put this event together there are several obstacles to overcome, some of which will still be in existence until we start welcoming people. The team at Hednesford Street Market have been absolutely amazing in affording us a space to utilise to hold this mini event, of course our capacity is very limited, we wont be able to hold the big numbers we have in previous years, but if only one person benefits from the event then it will all be worthwhile. {{WNIQ}} '''This event will be free to attend. Are there any sources of revenue planned to make the event sustainable, or will it operate with outside funding?''' {{WNIR|Aiden Bowden}} This year[']s event is very low key so the costs of operating are smaller than normal, the event is completely self-funded meaning there has been a lot of begging and borrowing from friends and family to make this happen.

Nine other people, eight students and one teacher, were hospitalized according to Chris Hosey, the director of {{w|Georgia Bureau of Investigation}} (GBI). One of them has been transported by helicopter to {{w|Grady Memorial Hospital}}, Grady's director of public relations, Danielle Hackett, told [[CNN]]. As {{w|Barrow County, Georgia|Barrow County}} {{w|Sheriffs in the United States|Sheriff}} Jud Smith said at a news conference on Wednesday night, all of the hospitalized victims are expected to survive and are "going to recover well". As some of law enforcement sources told CNN, there could be up to 30 people who were injured; video from outside the school showed several ambulances, besides a large active police presence. According to the GBI, the suspect is a fourteen year old student, named Colt Gray. According to his classmate, he left the classroom at the beginning of their {{w|algebra|Algebra 1}} class around 9:45 a.m. local time. He returned toward the end of the Algebra class and knocked on the door. A student opened the door, saw the gun, and refused to let Colt Gray in, according to an account from another student in the class, [[CNN]] reported. Thereafter, according to the same sources, Gray started shooting in the next classroom. According to the GBI, the sheriff's office received calls of an active shooter at the school at around 10:20 am, with law enforcement arriving at the scene "within minutes," in addition to two school resources officers who were assigned to Apalachee High. As Hosey said, the resource officers "immediately encountered the subject within just minutes of this report going out... Once they encountered the subject, the subject immediately surrendered to these officers and he was taken into custody". As GBI's Director Hosey said in a news conference on Wednesday night, authorities still are investigating how the suspect brought into the school the "AR-platform style weapon" that was used in the shooting; an AR-15 style rifle, as a law enforcement official told CNN. According to [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] [[Atlanta]]'s post on X, it is aware of the situation and "agents are on scene coordinating with and supporting local law enforcement." The motive of Colt Gray is unknown. He is currently in custody and was charged with murder as an adult on Wednesday. This shooting was the 45th school shooting in the USA in 2024, according to a CNN analysis, and the deadliest so far this year — one of eleven school shootings with four or more deaths since 2008, when CNN first started tracking school shootings. As of 2024, Apalachee High School has about 1,900 students in grades 9–12, with 528 students in 9th grade, according to {{w|U.S. News & World Report}}. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == * {{sisters|w|2024 Apalachee High School shooting}} == Sources == *{{source |url= https://www.wisn.com/article/what-we-know-shooting-georgia-high-school/62056798 |title= 2 students, 2 teachers killed at Georgia high school; shooter was 14-year-old student, police say |pub= Wisconsin News |date= September 4, 2024 }} *{{source |url= https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/apalachee-high-school-barrow-county-hard-lockdown |title= LIVE: GBI releases name of suspected shooter at Apalachee High School |pub= Fox 5 Atlanta |date= September 4, 2024 }} *{{source |url= https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/apalachee-high-school-shooting-georgia-09-04-24/index.html |title= At least 4 killed in Georgia high school shooting |pub= CNN |date= September 5, 2024 }} *{{source |url= https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/georgia/districts/barrow-county-public-schools/apalachee-high-school-5711 |title= Apalachee High School |pub= U.S. News & World Report |date= 2024 }} [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Georgia (U.S. state)]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:FBI]] [[Category:Education]] [[Category:Atlanta, Georgia]] {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Publish}} 6b24kkrk7k763k0nmfns5jmky2gjdnn 4 3000679 4799326 4798393 2024-09-26T03:01:53Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 2 threads from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous]] 4799326 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Tech News: 2024-32 == <section begin="technews-2024-W32"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The {{w|Myanmar civil war (2021–present)|conflict}} between Myanmar's military junta and the {{w|Arakan Army}} has intensified, especially in the {{w|Rakhine state|Rakhine state of Myanmar}}. According to Bangladeshi officials, the country cannot provide humanitarian shelter for any more refugees, and there has been discussion to prevent further arrivals. On August 25, which marked the seven-year anniversary of the {{w|Rohingya_genocide#2017–present:_Rohingya_genocide|conflict}} that forced the Rohingya to flee to Myanmar, tens of thousands of people attended rallies in Bangladeshi refugee camps. With millions of Rohingya refugees, Bangladesh officials are now calling for international aid to help with the humanitarian crisis, as Myanmar currently does not grant basic human rights to the Rohingya, and they are unable to return home. "Bangladesh is already over-burdened and unable to accommodate any more Rohingya," said Mohammad Shamsud Douza, a Bangladeshi official who works with refugees. Another official, Mohammad Touhid Hossain, asked India and other countries to allow refugees to enter and the international community to pressure the Arakan Army to cease its attacks on Rohingya. The Bangladeshi cabinet has planned a multi-day meeting, scheduled for this week, to discuss the refugee situation. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://efe.com/en/latest-news/2024-09-04/bangladesh-faces-rohingya-surge-as-myanmar-violence-escalates/ |title = Around 8,000 Rohingya flee to Bangladesh due to escalating violence in Myanmar |author = |pub = EFE |date = September 4, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/thousands-rohingya-flee-bangladesh-violence-myanmar-official-says-2024-09-04/ |title = Thousands of Rohingya flee to Bangladesh from violence in Myanmar, official says |author = Ruma Paul |pub = Reuters |date = September 4, 2024 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Refugees]] [[Category:Myanmar]] [[Category:Bangladesh]] [[Category:Human rights]] [[Category:Civil war]] [[CAT:Politics and conflicts]] {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Publish}} rk7g5btnffrqx6na7kkwr5ls519mxo6 0 3000698 4796917 2024-09-06T17:10:02Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [[Around 8 000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh]] to [[Around 8,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh]] 4796917 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Around 8,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh]] q2rx1u35v6ll2ja64z5xo2qf5r7wjtc 0 3000752 4806432 4797038 2024-11-29T11:04:11Z Neriah bot 2856370 Bot: Fixing double redirect from [[4 killed in Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, United States]] to [[Four killed in Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, United States]] 4806432 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Four killed in Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, United States]] qys7q82n9i2xgqtptv7m64a61ngmvav 0 3000754 4797042 2024-09-07T21:21:34Z Gryllida 160590 Gryllida moved page [[4 killed in Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, United States]] to [[Four killed in Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, United States]]: spell out one digit number 4797042 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Four killed in Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, United States]] qys7q82n9i2xgqtptv7m64a61ngmvav 102 3000805 4797151 2024-09-09T10:11:49Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4797151 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 14 3000807 4797159 2024-09-09T11:45:37Z MathXplore 2807146 Page created with "{{tracking category}} __HIDDENCAT__" 4797159 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} __HIDDENCAT__ 0jq7px8o10g9etsb3qjjyzo4j3ewka6 14 3000837 4797264 2024-09-09T22:42:59Z Me Da Wikipedian 2876262 I think that we should have the category for long periods of time as we often have articles that would fall in these categories. 4797264 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} [[Category:Abandoned]] ncgwc0wyf01gnyazk5sy0pymg1lol73 14 3000838 4797265 2024-09-09T22:43:20Z Me Da Wikipedian 2876262 I think that we should have the category for long periods of time as we often have articles that would fall in these categories. 4797265 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} [[Category:Abandoned]] ncgwc0wyf01gnyazk5sy0pymg1lol73 14 3000839 4797266 2024-09-09T22:43:37Z Me Da Wikipedian 2876262 I think that we should have the category for long periods of time as we often have articles that would fall in these categories. 4797266 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} [[Category:Abandoned]] ncgwc0wyf01gnyazk5sy0pymg1lol73 14 3000840 4797267 2024-09-09T22:43:51Z Me Da Wikipedian 2876262 I think that we should have the category for long periods of time as we often have articles that would fall in these categories. 4797267 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} [[Category:Abandoned]] ncgwc0wyf01gnyazk5sy0pymg1lol73 14 3000841 4797268 2024-09-09T22:44:13Z Me Da Wikipedian 2876262 I think that we should have the category for long periods of time as we often have articles that would fall in these categories. 4797268 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} [[Category:Abandoned]] ncgwc0wyf01gnyazk5sy0pymg1lol73 102 3000873 4797373 2024-09-10T17:08:19Z Bddpaux 112744 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4797373 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3000964 4797711 4797658 2024-09-13T03:32:01Z Acagastya 1526439 re 4797711 wikitext text/x-wiki {{archive top}} ==={{user-rights|Bddpaux}}=== I have given this project more than 15 years, but its time to face the facts.

The latter firm suggested the malicious modifications could have been made before shipping the bulk order to the country. {{W|Aljazeera}} reported that a shipment of pagers was in a port for three months awaiting import paperwork. They also reported that early investigations suggested the pagers included one to three grams of {{W|pentaerythritol tetranitrate}} along with metal balls, presumably added to increase the impact of an explosion.<!-- Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/18/how-did-hezbollah-get-the-pagers-that-exploded-in-lebanon --> The attack was allegedly timed to occur before Hezbollah started an investigation into inconsistent battery life of several pagers from the batch, {{W|The National (Abu Dhabi)}} reported.<!-- Source: https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2024/09/20/hezbollah-israel-pager-explosion-lebanon/ --> The pagers were a brand owned by a [[Taiwan]]ese company called {{W|Gold Apollo}}.

Hungarian authorities denied that the pagers were manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT, CNN reported. The CEO of BAC Consulting KFT told [[NBC News]] that the company did not manufacture the pagers, citing its role as "just the intermediate". According to the BBC, records indicated BAC was registered to a building with several organisations registered at the same address—which was not a manufacturing facility for BAC.<!-- Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cew12r5qe1ro --> {{W|Mary Ellen O'Connell}}, a Professor of Law at the {{W|University of Notre Dame}} in [[Indiana]], [[United States]] condemned the attacks saying "[w]eaponising an object used by civilians is strictly prohibited", while the UN called for an investigation.<!-- Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/9/18/israels-war-on-gaza-live-thousands-injured-in-lebanon-pager-explosions --> Lebanon's {{w|Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants (Lebanon)|foreign ministry}} called the incident an "Israeli cyberattack", according to Reuters.

This decision was previously announced on September 21. In her last livestream, Watson announced a {{w|VRChat}} map called ''HoloAquarium'', which can be visited by the public, as well as merchandise including plush toys and a ''{{w|dakimakura}}''. Watson debuted as a member of Hololive English on September 13, 2020, as a member of ''Myth'', her branch's first 'generation' ('generation' referring to a group of VTubers from an agency that debut simultaneously). {{w|Yahoo Japan}}, in an article about Watson's end of streaming activities, described her as "contributing to the popularization of VTubing culture outside of [[Japan]]". Her [[YouTube]] channel has 1.8 million subscribers, making her the fourth most popular English {{w|VTuber}}. She has earned approximately US$826,551 from Superchat donations and an estimated US$308,676 in annual ad revenue. The global VTuber market is rapidly expanding and expected to reach US$37.41 billion by 2030, growing at an annual rate of 35.6%, according to HTF Market Intelligence. In VTubing and Japanese entertainment, the term '{{w|Japanese idol#Retirement|graduation}}' is used to refer to the act of a celebrity leaving a group or company entirely. Watson, however, specified her departure from streaming is not a graduation as she will still be affiliated to the agency and occasionally work with it. Cover Corp (Hololive Production's parent company) announced they will continue to sell Watson-themed merchandise already available, and that any updates regarding Watson and Hololive will be published on their official social media channels. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.moguravr.com/holo-aquarium/ |title = 【VRChat】ホロライブへの愛が詰まった水族館は想像以上のクオリティ 配信活動終了のワトソン・アメリアが自身プロデュースのワールドを公開 |author = Yuriika |pub = MoguLive |date = October 1, 2024 |archiveurl = |lang = ja }} *{{source |url = https://www.siliconera.com/hololive-vtuber-amelia-watson-body-pillow-cover-and-plushies-appear/ |title = Hololive Vtuber Amelia Watson Body Pillow Cover and Plushies Appear |author = Jenni Lada |pub = Siliconera |date = October 1, 2024 |archiveurl = }} <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/004ce1c3f043846658e46df60bd100aa13d015bb |title = ホロライブEN「ワトソン・アメリア」が10月1日をもって配信活動終了…ただし“卒業”ではなく、今後もタレントとして所属予定 |author = |pub = Yahoo Japan |date = September 20, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20240922015214/https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/004ce1c3f043846658e46df60bd100aa13d015bb |lang = ja |brokenURL = true }} *{{source |url = https://www.msn.com/ja-jp/news/entertainment/%E3%83%9B%E3%83%AD%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96en-%E3%83%AF%E3%83%88%E3%82%BD%E3%83%B3-%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2-%E9%85%8D%E4%BF%A1%E6%B4%BB%E5%8B%95%E3%82%92%E7%B5%82%E4%BA%86-%E5%8D%92%E6%A5%AD%E3%81%9B%E3%81%9A%E9%81%8B%E5%96%B6%E4%BC%9A%E7%A4%BE%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AF%E6%89%80%E5%B1%9E/ar-AA1qTgAc |title = ホロライブEN ワトソン・アメリア、配信活動を終了 卒業せず運営会社には所属 |author = |pub = MSN |date = September 20, 2024 |archiveurl = |lang = ja }} *{{source |url = https://www.4gamer.net/games/760/G076029/20240920052/ |title = ホロライブEnglish，ワトソン・アメリアさんの配信活動が10月1日で終了へ。引き続きタレントとしては所属 |author = |pub = 4gamer.net |date = September 20, 2024 |archiveurl = |lang = ja }} *{{source |url = https://anitrendz.net/news/2024/09/20/hololive-englishs-watson-amelia-to-end-channel-activities-remain-an-affiliate/ |title = (Updated) Hololive English’s Watson Amelia To End Channel Activities, Remain An “Affiliate” |author = Melvyn Tan |pub = Anime Trending |date = September 20, 2024 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Japan]] [[Category:YouTube]] {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Publish}} mpuby58c4gcx66xasvd0410jmipjy7n 102 3001473 4799133 2024-09-24T23:24:43Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4799133 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3001512 4799206 2024-09-25T15:02:03Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 2 threads from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/technical]] 4799206 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it! == <section begin="Sub-referencing"/> [[File:Sub-referencing reuse visual.png|{{#ifeq:{{#dir}}|ltr|right|left}}|400px]] Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|the project page]]. '''We want your feedback''' to make sure this feature works well for you: * [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Test|Please try]] the current state of development on beta wiki and [[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|let us know what you think]]. * [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing/Sign-up|Sign up here]] to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Deutschland|Wikimedia Deutschland]]’s [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|Technical Wishes]] team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

I'd like to revisit the topic of making Vector 2022 the default here on English Wikinews. I [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous/archives/2022/September#The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?|did post a message about this almost two years ago]] (where you can find all the details about the skin), but we didn't finalize it back then. What happened in the meantime? We built [[mw:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading|dark mode and different options for font sizes]], and made Vector 2022 the default on most wikis, including all other Wikinews.

'''Weekly highlight''' * Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|read more about this project update]] and help to test the charts.

I have sort of lost an understanding of what this project is/where it's going. Firstly: I just don't think we have very many customers around these parts...''I just don't''. I've sort of lost a lot of my motivation here. I'm not leaving. I'm not resigning. I'm just -- wriggling away a bit. People come here, write a bit, fuss a lot, stir up stuff, then maybe get a bit better at writing a bit -- and then vanish (for the most part). Personally, I think (and I don't know how it would happen) this whole business needs to be diluted down into about 4 'versions'; there are MANY languages represented in WN, with many projects being propped up by about 5 people total. That is not sustainable. I believe in Citizen journalism, I do and I have for many years. But I just don't know what we are/who we are/where we're going anymore around this place.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 19:04, 3 September 2024 (UTC) :Hi @[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] Thanks for leaving your note here, a few thoughts :# I think we lack commitment of an individual contributor, like me, like you to '''connect''' with another contributor to do something (reviewing or writing) together. I'm trying to test that out. :# And also test out the approach by a specialised topic. I'm trying to write about topics other contributors find interesting to edit together. If my topic is interesting to nobody to edit or review, then it is too much effort for me to write. (It is part of connecting with another contributor) :# There is a minimum number of reviewers, below which it doesn't work (if I'm not sure of something I don't have anyone to run to ask a question). In my view that's at least around 3. Ability to '''catch up with some other reviewer at least once a day''' is important to me. Is it important to you? :#* In older days there was Pi zero on IRC. Now I have you on wiki, but not on IRC. That delays some of the communication. I also have [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]], but that's with what, three days turnaround time for reply? Link: '''[[Wikinews:IRC]]'''. Full time commitment is not required, suffice to have around 10-20 mins a day when you're available, preferably with a warning/note when exactly that's going to be so I can catch you and ask all my questions from my day of editing. Someone noted it's not transparent, yet I think it is important to have a chance to chat in real time for some issues. The outcomes can always later be noted on wiki. :# I'd've created [[Wikinews:Briefs/September 5, 2024]] ([[Wikinews:Briefs/December 20, 2008|example]]), but the only 'within last week' story is OR about LGQBT+ event in England, and OR seems to be excluded from Briefs. (Briefs could've helped [[UN secretary-general warns about rising sea levels]], and [[England: Staffordshire town celebrates LGBTQ+ pride despite funding issues]] if I knew how to use them properly - the former article having insufficient details and someone noted on talk page that omitting details is not good practice when publishing, and the latter sitting to become stale if not reviewed) :#* Are Briefs also restricted to be one week fresh? Or can this be two weeks under current freshness criteria? :#* Are Briefs excluding OR? :#* "Draft submitted. Draft was not reviewed for N days.

On IRC there were status updates, little notes like 'I popped in for 5 mins, now I'll do groceries, will be available for an hour later in the evening', etc). Of course they're also possible on-wiki, just takes a bit more effort to put them, plus the place where they will be put can be completely random anywhere in recent changes, wheres on irc it is only one place to track without clicking each 'view what was changed' button.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 02:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC) :::@[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]], I think there is an over-arching theme to this, which is "we have too few reviewers." A problem we are discussing at length here: [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#After_1_week]]. :::{{tq|I am not really ''proposing'' anything here -- I am honestly just voicing some general thoughts, to be frank.}} I agree with your opinion and I was very hopeful your previous attempts at a radical change by fast-tracking new reviewers would ultimately be successful. But with all due respect and hopefully not too much frankness; we either need more active reviewers or serious ideas for ways to gain more active reviewers. Voicing opinions doesn't move the needle much in solving the problem and I think we have general consensus on the notion we need more active reviewers. We've had continuous articles in the review queue for months and many go stale without review. You are a reviewer. You could be a part of the solution to the immediate problem of too few active reviewers, while we try to work through the underlying cause of that problem. There is also an active request to add a new reviewer (myself).[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Flagged_revisions/Requests_for_permissions/Michael.C.Wright] You could help by commenting and/or voting on that request. Your input as a reviewer and admin matters. :::{{tq|I just don't think we have very many customers around these parts...I just don't.}} I agree. Too few readers is likely due to a lack of fresh content to consume, which is due to too few active reviewers. We don't seem to lack content to be reviewed and published. We lack the ability to consistently review and publish. :::If you don't see reviewing articles yourself, and/or adding more reviewers as a part of the solution, what do you suggest we do to change the status quo?—[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 16:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC) ::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] if someone could explain to me how briefs work I'd be happy to try to make one...

[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 00:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC) ::::Briefs, to clarify, nowadays (there's been some abuse of the term by applying it to shorts as well in the past) are summaries of articles published in a day, perhaps along with some other features, which were used as peer-reviewed scripts for [[WN:Audio Wikinews/News Briefs]]. Shorts, which I think are what Gryllida intended to refer to, are just collections of at least three underlength stories published on a certain day (each individual short can occur on a different day, as long as they're all fresh on the day of publication). Three shorts, about one paragraph in length and answering all of the 5Ws and H, together equaled a standalone article, then required to have at least three paragraphs of more than one sentence each. Once modern review was introduced, Wikinewsies found that it was actually more taxing to review three shorts than one standalone article, and noticed that when a problem held one short up from being published, it held up the rest, even if there were no problems with any of the others. And of course, two years ago we voted to lower the length requirement for a standalone article to...one paragraph, rendering Shorts completely pointless.

These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

'''Updates for editors''' * Readers of [[phab:T375401|42 more wikis]] can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the [https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/ night-mode-checker tool] if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations page]] provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month. * Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding <code dir=ltr>?veaction=editsource</code> to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in [[Special:Preferences#mw-input-wpvisualeditor-newwikitext|your preferences]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239796] * For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should [[wikitech:Wikitech/SUL-migration|check if any action is required]] for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis. '''In depth''' * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|server switch]] was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of [[wikitech:Switch Datacenter#Past Switches|only 2 minutes 46 seconds]]. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes.

But it's not tagged as OR and no notes were provided, so it is, by default, synthesis. We have a longstanding principle Wikipedia is not a reliable source, as it does itself, and comments in a Wikipedia discussion hardly meet muster as capable of factual verification of anything more than that some folks wrote them, OR or not. The press release faces the same issue, to say nothing of its circular sourcing issue. For articles, like these, I think we're best relying on official PR/technical statistics (attributing in both cases, naturally), though the former may rely on the latter. Moreover, I'm wondering about relevance, especially in light of [[WN:Newsworthiness#The Wikimedia exception|another longstanding principle ours stipulating news about Wikimedia has to clear a higher bar for relevance]]. Are we to cover every increment of, say 500,000, or a million entries in every Wikimedia wiki that achieves such?

(Which is freely licensed, so it is less of an issue than a book which is only available by purchase.)

We frequently see updates within the first 24 hours, and having to move the article every time the number changes creates unnecessary work. I suggest keeping it general in the headline and providing the exact figures in the body of the article. Thoughts? NewsWatcher92: I agree with User1. Casualty figures can fluctuate, and it’s better to leave the headline flexible. Plus, keeping headlines more general prevents confusion if readers come across the article after updates. How about we include the number only when it's confirmed and unlikely to change? Poll: Should we exclude casualty figures from headlines for breaking news articles? :*{{support}} Yes, keep figures out of headlines until confirmed – signed User1 :*{{oppose}} No, include them regardless of potential updates – signed BreakingNewsFan :*{{support}} Support – signed Observer101 {{Archive bottom}} See also: [[Template:Archive bottom]] pl4xr1ksn8so49ewjtp3qhdd4ix0olt 14 3001896

This past Friday the Geological Service of [[Brazil]], a government agency, reported {{W|water level}}s of 12.66 meters in the {{W|Rio Negro}}, the largest {{W|tributary}} of the {{W|Amazon River}} in [[South America]]. It was the lowest recorded according to data collected since 1902. Wildfires and drought were reported as the cause.

To handle changes in electric current caused by weather variations, the new system involves adjusting desalination rates several times a second based on the detected changes in solar irradiance.

If the point of a pre-review is to have it open to more people, just creating a tiered pre-reviewer permission is counterintuitive, especially if a permission would have to be applied for. [[User:Asheiou|A.S. Thawley]] ([[User talk:Asheiou|talk]]) ([https://asheiou.uk/calendar calendar]) 22:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC) ::"I think the only requirement for pre-review should be auto-confirmation" - The idea, at least my idea, of pre-review is that people with '''some''' idea of what they are doing can help out new users. A user can be autoconfirmed from doing something totally unrelated to writing an article and will likely have no idea what they are talking about. The other requirements were made so that someone at least has a basic understanding of policy, has had articles actually pass review before (you can't review someone elses work on something if you can't do the work yourself), and there recommendations will do more good than harm.

The other value of a not ready review is if the pre-reviewer doesn't have the time, interest, expertise, to fix it. As well, some choices can be up to the author (problem X can be solved by Y or Z). Furthermore, a not ready review allows the pre-reviewer to give recommendations to the author and reviewer, allowing the reviewer to check if the issue was fixed quickly rather than needing to find it. As well, part of pre-review is to help users gain experience with reviewing, and for reviewers to know how well a job they did. @[[User:Asheiou|Asheiou]] [[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]] ([[User talk:Me Da Wikipedian|talk]]) 23:16, 14 June 2024 (UTC) :::::I agree.

I looked to poke holes in it and it seems like a solid proposal, mostly. But I would prefer pre-reviewers to need to be a MediaWiki user group with formal approval, on further thought. That's the only way I can see to guard against situations where people completely ignorant of what they're talking about, even if well-meaning, give schlocky pre-reviews, reporters don't know that the advice is inaccurate or incomplete, and experienced users have to go in and explain what the pre-reviewer got wrong. Whereas if pre-reviewers are required to have at least some experience, they're less likely to give poor advice and cause further trouble, and if they do that &mdash; which they probably would, sometimes &mdash; there's a lot less they need to be corrected on. I think they shouldn't be able to pre-review articles they'd worked on significantly (judged by the same standards as for reviewers), for the reasons stated above of leaving choices up to the reporter and of the benefit of peer review, and also because reporters, to the extent possible, should learn by doing of having to fix problems with their articles.

Editing and talk page messages will help here, but a pre-review is more formalized in that the pre-reviewer approaches it like how one would review an article. This means that they will (hopefully) bring up '''everything''' needing fixing on the article, and will also pass any part (or everything) they think is already ready to be published. As well, a pre-review with all sections passed is more likely to, indeed, be passable, and would be (theoretically) reviewed first, since its more likely to be passed. ::2.'''Identify good reviewer candiates''':If someone consistently leaves good pre-reviews, then I can be reasonably confident that they will leave good reviews as well (as ultimately the main difference between pre-review and reviewer is that the pre-reviewer can't actually pass/fail the article). Also, if someone consistently leaves bad pre-reviews (outside of maybe asking them to not pre-review or teaching them), they are probably not a good reviewer candidate. ::3.'''Prioritize reviewer time''':There is virtually always tons good articles going stale due to lack of reviewers (as I side note, @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], I think you're a reviewer, could you review something?).

I have two concerns. 1) Does the English Wikinews have enough people who are active enough that adding ''another'' step to article publication would be viable? When I was active here, it was normal for perfectly good articles to age out of [[WN:FRESH]] for no reason but that the reviewers didn't get around to reviewing them. The problem was not that the drafts had too many problems; it was that there weren't enough reviewer-hours to get them through the pipeline. Has that changed? 2) Was there some issue, like with the Gatwick article, where an article was published too quickly and there was some form of consequence? In other words, does the English Wikinews have a problem that a pre-review process would solve? Because if the answer to both of these is "no," then I'd have to tell you to change the above to "not unanimous."

To clarify; pre-review is not meant to be a requirement, an extra step to publication, or something reviewers do. Hopefully this clarifies a bit; pre-review is meant to ''eventually'' take some load off the reviewers by allowing trusted pre-reviewers to do some of the leg-work for them, should they volunteer to do so. For example; if I have established that I consistently give good advice in a pre-review, a reviewer could spend less time on an article I have pre-reviewed and more time on another that needs more attention. This saves reviewer-hours, which we don't have enough of, as you rightly pointed out. If there are two articles in the review queue and I as a trusted pre-reviewer have already worked with the author to correct identified problems and I recommend publishing the article, a reviewer could do a quicker/shorter evaluation of that article, maybe to ensure all facts are sourced and accurate, there is no bias of omission, etc. They can skip less-critical (but still important) things like looking for style and format issues, trusting that they were corrected in the pre-review process either directly by the pre-reviewer or afterwords by the original author. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 20:53, 30 August 2024 (UTC) :In addition to @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]]'s comments above, there are some other uses for pre-reviews. For example, if article X has issue Y that the reviewer couldn't solve without becoming involved, then the pre-reviewer can bring that up to the author, who will hopefully fix it before a review, thus reducing the chance that it goes stale/needs 2 reviews. As well, if you 2 articles in a review queue, one that passed pre-review and one that failed, and you trust the pre-reviewer, and you only have time to review 1, you would review the one that passed as its much more likely to actually be publishable. @[[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] [[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]] ([[User talk:Me Da Wikipedian|talk]]) 21:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC) ::Okay, that's more or less what I thought. I think this makes everything too complicated. The minute the Wikinewsie who wrote the first draft hits "submit," the article ''immediately'' belongs to all of Wikinews. Anyone may edit it for any reason (and I have). Anyone may hit the review button and submit it to the reviewers. The reviewer only needs to see what the article looks like at the time it is submitted, not who made which edit. We don't need to ''create'' a pre-review system because we created one long ago. Perhaps Wikinews could benefit from people doing it more. I also think creating an official status could exacerbate unhealthy social patterns that I witnessed during my years of heavy activity here.

This is partially because the community is small enough that reviewers can learn which other users they do and don't trust and partially because the kinds of skills we would require (professional-level English mechanics, etc.) are very difficult to assess by consensus. People tend to be annoyed when other people correct rule-based things like grammar, punctuation, flow of fact, and adherence to posted site guidelines and policies, but that's exactly what we want Wikinewsies to do before formal review. :::4) No, this should not be a formalized group. Wikinewsies should jump in and edit articles whether they drafted them or someone else did, so long as there is no "edit in process" tag active. Whether drafters should be able to control who works on the draft, say, to request request no further edits before review, is a separate issue. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 20:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC) ::::@[[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]], yes any Wikinewsie can edit the article. Pre-review is a much more through process. The pre-reviewer is essentially suppossed to act like a reviewer in that they should fully look through everything, and then on the talk page post to the author what they did right and wrong. Done correctly, this can be very helpful for the author to learn. As well, the pre-reviewer can learn what they did right/wrong by comparing it to the actual review and hence learn how to review. As well, if someone consistently makes good pre-reviews then that is a great way to know if there a good reviewer candidate. ::::This can't be accomplished by everyday editing. The ability to give not-ready status and not being able to pre-review work they have made or heavily worked on is so that it is as best "practice" as it can be for actual review. The requirements and formalized group idea is mostly to prevent wrong or misleading advice, which, particularly when there may not be any other experienced user around to contradict them, can create problems.

Any of those things might have changed since then, and even at the time, not everyone agreed about what was happening or what was causing it.

This year we have published an article every 5 days, but excluding 2 small outlier periods brings that number to 10. I personally don't feel that interpersonal conflicts are that huge of an issue (partly because theres rarely enough persons to have them). The issue of bad new user retention is (in my opinion) because of perfectly good articles going stale. I know that I was very close to quitting the project because of that and I know of at least 1 user who produced a bunch of articles, some which probably would have passed review, none of which got reviews, and I'm pretty sure they quit.

I can get into more detail if necessary: Forget pre-review and '''increase the number of reviewers'''. :::::::::::1) Instead of inventing a new intermediate status, just increase the number of reviewers. Don't require the individual reviewer to apply. Either let anyone nominate or make it automatic after the drafting of X number of published articles, X number of months of activity, or both. '''Accept''' that different reviewers will have different interpretations of site policies and guidelines. '''Accept''' that our unofficial leadership will have less control of what does and does not get published and that the writing style will appear less uniform. '''Accept''' that reviewers can and will be wrong once in the while or even a lot. :::::::::::2) Reviewers should divide review into two categories: A) Necessary changes (will not publish unless these changes are made) and B) All other changes (the reviewer thinks they would improve the draft but will publish the article even if the changes are not made). Items in category A should be limited to things required by formally published site policy only. Reviewers should draw these distinctions proactively; they should not wait for the drafter to ask. :::::::::::I personally think losing the idea that reviewers are teachers and drafters are learners would help retention. I can get into why if necessary, but it might be a separate issue.

I think that simply making many published articles or lengthy activity is not a good candidate for reviewer. There is a user on this site (no I will not say who) who would meet any reasonable criteria based on published articles/length of activity who has never worked on any elses articles before and all of their articles are essentially self-promotion. I am not the onlyone who thinks this, at least 3 reviewers have said they will not pass their articles anymore. I do not think they would make a good reviewer. This is the problem, '''reviewer is a position of high trust, and meeting those requirements does not indicate trust. Reviewer requires knowledge not neccessarily gained through length of activity or published article count, nor neccessary not having by not meeting some number'''. ::::::::::::I would agree the second one, however I personally have not seen an instance where an article has been held back over category 2 of yours, so... ::::::::::::I think that if our most expereinced users don't teach people, then how will new users come to be familiar with the site and know our rules?

After all, I was the new guy. I was also relatively obedient--because I was the new guy. After the first year, I knew enough that when a reviewer said "We always do things RED way, never BLUE way, tsk tsk tsk you should have ''known'' that," I could say, "We do too do things BLUE way.

I was able to find either on-Wikinews or off-Wikinews sources that showed the English was already correct either every time or almost every time. So no, I don't think I was wrong. I checked. :::::::::::::::Going forward, we ''want'' Wikinews to draw and retain highly skilled writers, not only people who are still learning English. That means the drafter will know more than the reviewer does at least some of the time. If we demand that drafters pretend that reviewers are always right, then Wikinews will not retain skilled drafters. :::::::::::::::One reason the block lasted so long is that I didn't want to attempt unblock during the pandemic. I didn't want people who were mad at the virus to take it out on me instead. :::::::::::::::The more complicated answer is that there were a lot of multi-layered social undercurrents moving things around. One downside of creating a community is that sometimes people !vote based on who's their friend. I don't think it's realistic to say "The reviewers just shouldn't do that." I do think it's realistic to create an on-Wiki structure that allows the drafter to avoid situations in which one reviewer might feel obligated to support another for social reasons, saving both time and feelings. That's what this A/B system would do. :::::::::::::::Gryllida refers to water cooler/assistance, and Wikinews ''does'' need a robust conflict resolution system (it did not have one in my day), but this is for when confrontation is necessary, not when a drafter is trying to avoid confrontation or prevent the loss of time. In other words water cooler/assistance solves a problem, just not the same problem that the A/B system would solve. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 13:51, 11 September 2024 (UTC) ::::::::::::::::@[[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] At least from my experience at Wikinews, I would be extremely surprised to see a reviewer persistently insist on incorrect english if you have given an authoritative source to the contrary. If someone persistly insists on obviously incorrect english, you have cited something reliable showing they are wrong, and they are providing no explanation but refusing to publish the article over it...that's not good. If this is a habit of theirs, and they refuse to stop, that user should not be a reviewer. Requests for permissions removal do exist, and in a case like that I would consider it. However, I would say that a reviewer that unreasonable will probably not use your categories correctly... ::::::::::::::::"people who were mad at the virus to take it out on me instead" - That is patently ridiculuous. I can't seriously imagine anyone denying an unblock request because they are upset at a virus. "people !vote based on who's their friend" - As you mentioned, it is '''not a vote''', so if you have a bunch of people just saying "I agree with person X" they aren't actually adding anything consensus wise, or at least not on the same level as someone providing reasoning. And, yeah, voting fraud (which is essentially what your describing) is wrong. '''No one should say something they don't believe because someone else said it'''. I admittedly haven't seen this. What I have seen is reviewers publishing the articles of more experienced users even if they have some problem, when they wouldn't publish for a new user, saying after describing an issue (this is an actual quote from a review of one of my articles) "we'll let it slide through as a gesture of generosity and gratitude". I asked what the issue specifically was, so I could fix it, with no reply. I have also seen the freshness window extend for certain authors. I don't want to name names here, but '''This is unquestionably wrong. Wikinews is not a Quid Pro Quo system, and its time to stop acting like one.''' ::::::::::::::::What you are describing, and I'm certain that the other side of this would have a different perspective, is a severe problem with how our reviewers act. As I haven't seen this myself, I would appreciate some examples. What you are describing is something ludicrous and something that I have not personally seen, and I think that if you are correct, this could possibly neccessitate the removal of some of our reviewers.

But the predictable and uniform output of the template encourages a bit more formality and uniformity in the way an article is evaluated—this is meant to help develop a habit of formally and uniformly evaluating multiple articles over time. Additionally, when authors consistently see evaluations against the five pillars repeated by both the pre-review and review systems, they will hopefully improve their writing by anticipating and preempting those pillars ''before'' asking for a review. Better-written articles are easier and quicker to review; which takes a load off preciously few reviewer-hours.

The breach presumably occurred on September 28, as that is the latest date on an SQL file, measuring 6.4 gigabytes in size, containing the stolen user data. HIBP founder {{w|Troy Hunt}} received the file on September 30 but was unable to review it until October 5. Hunt notified the Internet Archive staff on October 6. The Internet Archive has responded accordingly and has fended off the recent DDOS attacks. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/11/24268040/internet-archive-data-breach-outage-hacked |title = The Internet Archive is still down but will return in ‘days, not weeks’ |author = Emma Roth |pub = The Verge |date = October 11, 2024 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/crIMx }} *{{source |url = https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/science/internet-archive-suffered-major-data-breach-affecting-31-million-users/story |title = Internet Archive cyberattack: How details of 31M users got exposed |author = Akash Pandey |pub = News Bytes App |date = October 11, 2024 |archiveurl = https://archive.is/7OJkL }} *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED8Y6f_kvSI |title = The Internet Archive Is Under ATTACK!

The response followed {{w|Melbourne University Publishing}} (MUP) announcing it would publish a book about Lee's judgement titled ''He Went Back for His Hat'', listing Lee as the book's author on the MUP's web site. In response to the court's comments, the chairman of the MUP board, Professor Emeritus Warren Bebbington told ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' that they had approached Lee prior to the announcement of the publication and that he did not see any issue with the book's publication. "The book was an initiative of MUP, but Justice Lee was approached by us in advance and did not see any issue with the publication of a judgement that is in the public domain," Bebbington said. According to ''The Herald'', Bebbington further commented that the MUP "did not ask Justice Lee for his approval of [the book cover and title]". The book's title is a reference to a quote by Lee in which he described Lehrmann's decision to sue Network 10 after criminal proceedings against him were abandoned. "Having escaped the lion's den, Mr. Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat," Lee said. The case had involved Lehrmann suing {{w|Lisa Wilkinson}} and {{w|Network 10}} for defamation over an interview with Brittany Higgins. The trial had concluded with Judge Michael Lee finding that on the balance of probabilities, Lehrmann had raped Higgins. Lehrmann had earlier faced criminal proceedings for the alleged rape, which were abandoned due to juror misconduct. In May 2024, Lehrmann appealed against his loss in the lawsuit. In response, Network 10 in June asked the court to order him to pay a AUD200,000 security to cover some their legal costs in order to go through with the appeal. Lehrmann's solicitor Zali Burrows declared their opposition to the proposed payment, telling the court that Lehrmann was on Centrelink [unemployment] benefits and was unable to pay the money to the network. "The only shot he'd probably ever have in making money is by going on {{w|OnlyFans}} or something silly like that," Burrows told the court. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|2021 Australian Parliament House sexual misconduct allegations}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/bruce-lehrmann-judges-surprising-next-move-after-landmark-judgment/news-story/92673579068a3f162d0eeb9e94c024b9 |title=Bruce Lehrmann judge says he has no links to published book of judgement |pub=news.com.au |pubtarget=News.com.au |date=October 15, 2024 }} *{{source |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/judge-did-not-authorise-lehrmann-judgment-book-20241015-p5kikq.html |title=Judge 'did not authorise' Lehrmann judgement book |pub=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=October 15, 2024 }} *{{source |url=https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/bruce-lehrmann-fights-to-appeal-against-bruising-defamation-suit-loss/news-story/1e5f470b0afa1e88b513134e4af6b1f8 |title='OnlyFans:' Bruce Lehrmann's lawyer makes shock claim |pub=news.com.au |pubtarget=news.com.au |date=October 14, 2024 }} *{{source |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jun/22/network-ten-requests-bruce-lehrmann-pay-200000-security-against-cost-of-appeal |title=Network Ten requests Bruce Lehrmann pay $200,000 security against cost of appeal |pub=The Guardian |date=June 22, 2024 }} *{{source |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/bruce-lehrmann-lodges-appeal-for-defamation-loss/o52prinb6 |title=Bruce Lehrmann lodges appeal for defamation loss |pub=SBS News |date=May 31, 2024 }} [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Oceania]] {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Publish}} 48lrh0rhw8rb9khuxf543y04d2bs7yw 10 3002469 4801700 4801688 2024-10-15T14:17:52Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Substitute template, as directed in [[:Category:User talk templates]] 4801700 wikitext text/x-wiki This template will place a warning on a talk page. == Usage == Place the template on a talk page using <code><nowiki>{{subst:Spam warning}}</nowiki></code>.

This guideline outlines the appropriate use of large language models (LLMs), commonly called artificial intelligence (AI), in the creation of content on Wikinews. It aims to safeguard the [[WN:PILLARS|pillars of good writing]]; the principles of accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability that underpin all content while embracing innovative technologies to support contributors. ==Permissible Uses of AI== AI tools can be employed in the following ways to assist contributors in their work: *'''Assisting with drafting''': AI may be used to generate drafts for content, helping authors with structure or content suggestions. However, these drafts must always be critically reviewed and fact-checked by human contributors before submission. *'''Proofreading and style suggestions''': AI tools that check for grammar, spelling, and adherence to style guides are permitted, as long as the final decisions on wording and style remain human-led. *'''Data analysis''': AI tools can be used to analyze and summarize large datasets (e.g., statistical reports, polls) to support reporting. The source of the data must be clearly referenced, and any interpretation or conclusions drawn must be reviewed by human contributors. *'''AI/LLM Use disclosure''': Contributors are encouraged to note any use of AI/LLM tools on the talk or collaboration page to support transparency ==Prohibited Uses of AI== AI should not replace human judgment or the collaborative editing process. The following uses of AI are prohibited: *'''Fully automated article generation''': Articles generated solely by AI, without substantive human editorial oversight, are not permitted. Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources. *'''AI-generated sources''': AI cannot be used to generate sources or citations. All facts presented in articles must be backed by verifiable and reliable human-generated sources. ==Maintaining Editorial Integrity== '''Human editorial control''': The editorial process, including [[Wikinews:Pre-Reviewing|pre-reviews]] and [[Wikinews:Reviewing|final reviews]], must always be carried out by human contributors. '''Accuracy and Neutrality''': AI assistance should not compromise the core principles of Wikinews. Any biases identified in AI-generated suggestions must be addressed by contributors to ensure that the final article remains neutral and factually accurate. ==See also== * [[Wikinews:Code of Ethics]] * [[Wikinews:PILLARS]] p619ukzvcq54jj464og4rph25fxl3e7 4 3002635 4803853 4802109 2024-11-04T16:10:17Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 change target 4803853 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Wikinews:The use of AI in generating content]] s1w5gzwafv7f6i20h7ax8z3ynqwkkca 10 3002697 4863953 4863952 2025-06-15T14:49:38Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 source1 is optional. add non-descriptive description 4863953 wikitext text/x-wiki <includeonly>{{#switch: {{#invoke:DetectDraft|detectTemplates}}|true={{#ifeq: {{{visibility|}}}|hidden||^{<span style="white-space:nowrap;">{{#if: {{{source1|}}}|&#91;[{{{source1}}} {{#if: {{{focal_event|}}}|'''SOURCE'''|Source}}]{{#if: {{{source2|}}}|, [{{{source2}}} {{#if: {{{focal_event|}}}|'''SOURCE'''|Source}}]}}{{#if: {{{source3|}}}|, [{{{source3}}} {{#if: {{{focal_event|}}}|'''SOURCE'''|Source}}]}}{{#if: {{{source4|}}}|, [{{{source4}}} {{#if: {{{focal_event|}}}|'''SOURCE'''|Source}}]}}&#93;|&#91;[[WN:Source|Unsourced]]&#93;}}</span>}}}|false=|#default=}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{Documentation}}<templatedata> { "params": { "source1": { "label": "Primary source URL", "description": "The URL of the primary source for a given statement.", "example": "https://SomeURL.com", "type": "string" }, "source2": { "label": "Second source URL", "description": "An optional second URL for an additional source.", "example": "https://AnotherURL.com", "type": "string" }, "source3": { "label": "Third source URL", "description": "An optional third URL for an additional source.", "example": "https://ThirdURL.com", "type": "string" }, "source4": { "label": "Fourth source URL", "description": "An optional fourth URL for an additional source.", "example": "https://FourthURL.com", "type": "string" }, "focal_event": { "description": "If set to \"true\", replaces 'Source' with '**SOURCE**' in bold and uppercase.", "example": "focal_event=true", "type": "boolean", "default": "false" }, "visibility": { "description": "If set to \"hidden\", this will prevent the template from rendering any text and must instead be viewed using the source editor.", "example": "visibility=hidden", "suggestedvalues": [ "hidden" ], "type": "boolean", "default": "Visible (true)" } }, "description": "Template description above" } </templatedata></noinclude> hl5sqxgev1491fbl27yhdf5baqoffvo 10 3002698 4865075 4864921 2025-06-19T19:34:57Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 /* Note for reviewers */ new option for managing markup 4865075 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Documentation subpage}} This optional template can be used in two ways.

The following excerpt from [[WN:Source]] explains the intended use of {{tl|verify}}: <blockquote>Where long, numerous, or complex sources are used, it may be helpful to leave advice for reviewers on the article's talk page and/or within the article to guide them on what information is sourced from where. This significantly speeds up review and is deeply appreciated by reviewers.</blockquote> This template only modifies text when an article is a draft and contains {{tl|develop}}, {{tl|review}}, or {{tl|tasks}}. In the absence of all of these templates, {{tl|verify}} defaults to hidden and is only visible in source. == Examples == To indicate the source of a given statement, use: <code><nowiki>{{Verify|source1=https://someURL.com}}</nowiki></code> which will render: :Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla facilisi. Vestibulum vitae elit non velit accumsan gravida.^{&#91;[https://someURL.com Source]&#93;} To indicate two sources for a given statement, use: <code><nowiki>{{Verify|source1=https://SomeURL.com|source2=https://SomeOtherURL.com}}</nowiki></code> which will render: :Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla facilisi. Vestibulum vitae elit non velit accumsan gravida.^{&#91;[https://SomeURL.com Source], [https://SomeOtherURL.com Source]&#93;} To indicate a statement needs a source, use: <code><nowiki>{{Verify}}</nowiki></code> with no parameters to render: :Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla facilisi. Vestibulum vitae elit non velit accumsan gravida.^{&#91;[[WN:Source|Unsourced]]&#93;} To hide the template but still provide source information to the reviewer, use: <code><nowiki>{{Verify|source1=https://someURL.com|visibility=hidden}}</nowiki></code> which will render: :Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla facilisi. Vestibulum vitae elit non velit accumsan gravida. (No visible output, but the source information remains in the wikitext.) To indicate that sources support the focal event of the article, use: <code><nowiki>{{Verify|source1=https://someURL.com|source2=https://SomeOtherURL.com|focal_event=true}}</nowiki></code> which will render: :Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla facilisi. Vestibulum vitae elit non velit accumsan gravida.^{&#91;[https://someURL.com '''SOURCE'''], [https://SomeOtherURL.com '''SOURCE''']&#93;} When <code>focal_event=true</code>, the word '''SOURCE''' is displayed in bold and uppercase to distinguish sources that support the focal event of the article. == Parameters == * '''source1''': The URL of the primary source for the statement. * '''source2''': An optional second URL that supports the statement. * '''source3''': An optional third URL that supports the statement. * '''source4''': An optional fourth URL that supports the statement. * '''focal_event''': If set to <code>true</code>, replaces "Source" with "'''SOURCE'''" in bold and uppercase to indicate that the sources support the focal event of the article. * '''visibility''': If set to <code>hidden</code>, prevents the template from rendering any output in the article. The source remains visible in the source editor but not in the preview or final output. == Note for reviewers == All occurrences of this template in an article must be removed before publishing, as the template, even when hidden, will remain in the published article. There are two options to manage the template broadly (all occurrences in a given article): === MarkupManager === [[User:Michael.C.Wright/MarkupManager]] is an interface based on javascript written specifically to allow one to scan for, hide, unhide, or remove all occurrences of the template from an article. === TemplateScript === TemplateScript[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/TemplateScript] is a tool based on javascript that can be used to manipulate all occurrences of {{tl|Verify}}, while editing the article, with a single click. It was not specifically intended for this use but it does work. The following code works: :<code><nowiki>{ name: 'Remove {{Verify}} template', script: function(editor) { // Remove all occurrences of {{Verify}} with or without parameters editor.replace(/\{\{Verify.*?\}\}/gi, ''); editor.appendEditSummary('Remove all instances of the {{Verify}} template.'); }, enabled: true },</nowiki></code> The following code will hide all occurrences of the template in an article: :<code><nowiki>{ name: 'Hide {{Verify}} templates', script: function(editor) { // Find all instances of {{Verify}} that do not already have "visibility=hidden" editor.replace(/\{\{Verify(?![^}]*visibility\s*=\s*hidden)(.*?)\}\}/gi, '{{Verify$1|visibility=hidden}}'); editor.appendEditSummary('Add "visibility=hidden" to all instances of the {{Verify}} template without it.'); }, enabled: true },</nowiki></code> == See also == This template uses [[Module:DetectDraft]] lmsxxktuorcrkvmhair9haey03n2pob 0 3002749 4832369 4832275 2024-12-25T16:20:40Z Leaderbot 2882487 /* Sources */ fix issue as per https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Admin_action_alerts#Articles_needing_archived using [[Project:AWB|AWB]] 4832369 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|October 24, 2024}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{cricket}} [[File:Dubai Stadium 2019.jpg|thumb|left|200px|File photo of Dubai International Cricket Stadium, taken in 2019. {{Image|Dave Morton}}]] On October 20, {{w|New Zealand women's national cricket team|New Zealand}} won the {{w|2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup|2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup}}, defeating {{w|South Africa women's national cricket team|South Africa}} by 32 runs in the tournament's final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

After the match, South African captain Laura Wolvaardt commented, "We had a really good semi-final, the focus was to reset, but we didn't nail our cricket today."

There are a few phases of article writing and reviewing which require additional software support: * When a new draft. Easy. There are many of them written each month. Could be guided as they often make errors. I wrote a helper page [https://gryllida.neocities.org/v2-1-1] (JavaScript is freely licensed, I didn’t mark it properly yet for librejs to understand). ** {{question|item 1}} move to a more reliable hosting -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] to do - not critical, as this software can be used straight away and does not host any content on the server. it is entirely client side. ** {{question|item 2}} publish code in a git repository -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] to do - not critical, as the source code is available in 'page source'. * A draft needs to be announced to all people interested in this topic (e.g. ‘Politics in Egypt’). I wrote a program for this, https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/weabit/ and example generated notification to a new user at https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Qwerty_number1#Wikinews_recent_additions_00:32,_12_December_2019_(UTC) This software is working in principle and is all good. It can also send emails. ** {{question|item 3}} I need to restart this tool and subscribe users to it again (check with each user if they're still interested) -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] to do - essential - welcome help from other contributors. ** {{question|item 4}} android push notifications are being considered as a third option, [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Ybc3xn63mxmx7v0t link to discussion] - nobody working on this - Android developers welcome to either work on it or provide guidance to [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]. * Draft needs to be reviewed. This is a very difficult part. It is time consuming. Each sentence and phrase needs to be checked. I am starting to work on software described here [[User:Gryllida/minireviewer]] for this purpose. ** {{question|item 5}} Gadget like "on screen edit" is already available but I'm not sure if it's able to save progress after web browser is closed or computer is shut down. more investigation is needed. item untaken. ** {{question|item 6}} Another option is to host a wiki instance with [[:mw:Extension:InlineComments]] installed to comment when a part of text was fact checked. This may cause difficulties when article content needs to be the same between two wikis or something. '''Feedback wanted''', please post below, before this is commenced. Untaken and [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] can start working on this after confirming it is desired. This could provide improvement to individual work on review and/or open a venue for collaborative reviewing. *After successfully being published the draft needs to be announced on social media. There is currently no software that I know of, and this is often done manually. It was Twitter and Facebook. Someone needs to report it on Mastodon and other saner places. **{{question|item 7}} There was some issue with Facebook being spammed. I didn't track whether it was resolved. Someone please check.

The former bassist and vocalist of rock band {{w|Grateful Dead}} was 84. His family announced his death via {{w|Instagram}}, with no cause given. [[File:Phil Lesh & Friends - July 3, 2008 - The Pageant, St. Louis (66).jpg|left|alt=Lesh playing bass guitar and smiling|thumb|Phil Lesh, 2003.{{image|binkle_28|file=Phil Lesh & Friends - July 3, 2008 - The Pageant, St. Louis (66).jpg}}]] Lesh played bass guitar and sang with American {{w|psychedelic rock}} band the Grateful Dead for decades, and also wrote some of their songs, including the hit "{{w|Box of Rain}}", about the death of his father. He also had a long solo career, including his own {{w|Phil Lesh and Friends}}, various groups with fellow Dead alumni, and playing live with his children until months before his death. Born Phillip Chapman Lesh on March&nbsp;15, 1940, in {{w|Berkeley, California}}, Lesh began his music education at age 8 on violin and branches out to trumpet in his high school marching band. Lesh played in several bands and had a number of stints in college and met {{w|Jerry Garcia}} while performing at a nightclub. Garcia encouraged him to try bass guitar in order to join a nascent line-up of the Grateful Dead. Lesh's approach included jazz influences from his educational background. Lesh also provided vocals and songwriting to several songs. The Dead broke up in 1995, following Garcia's death. Lesh continued to collaborate with several former Grateful Dead members in various line-ups, including {{w|The Other Ones}}, {{w|Furthur (band)|Furthur}}, and {{w|The Dead (band)|The Dead}}. He remained a staple of the {{w|San&nbsp;Francisco Bay Area}} music scene, regularly returning to his own Phil Lesh and Friends to tour, owning the live music venue {{w|Terrapin Crossroads}} from 2012 to 2021, and establishing the Sunday Daydreams festival in 2023. Lesh is survived by his widow Jill and their sons Brian and Grahame. {{haveyoursay}} ==See also== *"[[Poet, lyricist, and digital activist John Perry Barlow dies, aged 70]]" *"[[Singer-songwriter Robert Hunter dies, aged 78]]" == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/1227749378/phil-lesh-grateful-dead-dies |title = The Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh dies at 84 |author = Isabella Gomez Sarmiento |pub = NPR |date = October 25, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/25/entertainment/phil-lesh-death/index.html |title = Grateful Dead bassist and founding member Phil Lesh has died at 84 |author = Dan Heching |pub = CNN |date = October 25, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/arts/music/phil-lesh-dead.html |title = Phil Lesh, Bassist Who Anchored the Grateful Dead, Dies at 84 |author = Jim Farber |pub = The New York Times |date = October 25, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/phil-lesh-grateful-dead-bassist-founding-member-dies-84-rcna177360 |title = Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead bassist and founding member, dies at 84 |author = Mirna Alsharif and Dennis Romero |pub = NBC News |date = October 25, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/phil-lesh-grateful-dead-dead-1234809976/ |title = Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead Co-Founder and Bassist, Dead at 84 |author = Richard Gehr |pub = Rolling Stone |date = October 25, 2024 }} == External links == *{{source |url = https://www.phillesh.net/ |title = Welcome |author = |pub = Phil Lesh |date = October 25, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://www.dead.net/features/news/remembering-phil |title = Remembering Phil |author = Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and Bob Weird |pub = Grateful Dead |date = October 25, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://www.instagram.com/p/DBjvWcHPbQB/ |title = Phil Lesh, bassist and founding member of The Grateful Dead, passed peacefully this morning.

Additionally, there appears to be some confusion regarding George Ho’s current status, as they do not hold any elevated privileges and have not been vetted by the community for roles with lower levels of risk than Interface Admin. This observation is not a reflection on George Ho personally or their character, but rather an acknowledgment that the community has not yet had the opportunity to fully assess their suitability for elevated privileges. :Additionally, it has not been demonstrated that the individual is currently qualified to receive these elevated privileges, a point they themselves have acknowledged. Combined with their apparent lack of interest in holding such privileges, this suggests that it may not be the right fit for them at this time. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 18:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC) * {{oppose}} Michael lays out much of what is wrong with this. There also appears to be no requirement for a minimum of two concurrently serving interface admins &mdash; there's only one serving at the moment, in fact, which obviously means...there would be two if Gryllida granted IA to themselves.

But now that it is created it might as well be done properly. Since [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] is the one requesting the right it might be best if someone else closed this request. According to [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Policy]] says the request have to be open for 2 weeks and have at least 5 valid votes and 80% support. I think those requirements are met. I will therefore ping [[User:RockerballAustralia]] hoping for a closure so Gryllida can fix what needs to be fixed. It is correct that there are special risk involved with InterfaceAdmin privileges. So it would be good practice only to give the rights to someone when they need it. But since Gryllida is a Bureaucrat it will not help much to remove the right because if some hack the account of Gryllida they can just add the right and break stuff. So the only reason to remove the right could be that doing so Gryllida will get a clear warning that "Hey you are about to change something important". Anyway if this is to be temporary I think it would be a good idea to close this request with a clear permission for Gryllida to remove and add the right whenever it is needed (just like with the pseudo-bot-flag). I think it would be a waste of time if there have to be a vote everytime or if some other Bureaucrat have to change the rights every time. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 19:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC) * {{question}} Shall we request approval at [[:m:Steward requests/Permissions]] then?

Other factors affecting health included extreme weather events, such as heat waves and floods, dust storms. 122 people including advisors from {{w|World Health Organization}}, agencies of [[United Nations]], and academic institutions contributed to the report. The report was on a global scale rather than a specific region such as Europe. The report included notes that less than 35% of countries were capable of assessing early symptoms of heat caused health issues, and less than 10% for mental issues pertaining to increased temperatures. The authors wrote this limited the resources available for prevention and for planning emergency response if needed. Additionally, in the report, the authors noted the fossil fuel industry was continuing to set up new mining sites, a concerning trend in light of ready availability and necessity to adopt renewable energy sources. The report included a summary of 15 parameters. The analysts wrote that in 2023, the planet was already 1.45 °C warmer than pre-industrial levels, and was on track to reach 2.7 °C heating by 2100. The authors called for urgent action to reverse the effects of [[climate change]] and {{w|pollution}} to reduce their impact in the future, and for improvements to risk assessment and management of associated health and wellbeing issues. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/30/heat-related-deaths-and-diseases-rising-due-to-climate-change-experts-warn?traffic_source=rss |title = Heat-related deaths and diseases rising due to climate change, experts warn |author = |pub = Aljazeera |date = October 30, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url =https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01822-1/abstract |title =The 2024 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: facing record-breaking threats from delayed action |author = |pub =The Lancet |date =October 29, 2024 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Environment]] [[Category:World Health Organization]] [[Category:Climate change]] {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Publish}} mivot209ebh5aenavta0ixnntt679q6 0 3003184 4848426 4846893 2025-04-10T17:42:10Z Leaderbot 2882487 /* Sources */ automated [[WN:Archive]] - fix template, replaced: {{Archived}} → {{Archived-cc-2.5}} using [[Project:AWB|AWB]] 4848426 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|November 3, 2024}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{correction|date=December 10, 2024|explanation=The article refers to the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union.

[[File:Googleplex_HQ_(cropped).jpg|thumb|left|180px|Google Headquarters in {{w|Mountain View, US}} {{Image source|[[c:User:The Pancake of Heaven!|The Pancake of Heaven!]]}}]] The amount of the fine was two undecillion {{w|Russian ruble|rubles}} - a two followed by 36 zeroes ({{w|US dollar|US$}} 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) - an amount beyond the entire world's GDP, which is estimated by the [[International Monetary Fund]] to be US$110 trillion. "Although it is a specific amount, I cannot even say this number, it is rather filled with symbolism," Kremlin spokesperson {{W|Dmitry Peskov}} said, according to the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union ({{w|TASS}}), a Russian state news agency. The court also ordered Google to restore the accounts within nine months, with a fine of {{w|Russian ruble|RU₽}}100,000 (US$1,000) per day after that period. This fine was made after litigation was filed in 2020, according to [[NBC News]], by seventeen Russian television channels and other media outlets. Google's Russian YouTube subsidiary paused commercial operations after U.S. sanctions were imposed on Russia in response to its [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|2022 invasion of Ukraine]], directly impacting the subsidiary. According to CNN, Google made reference to the legal dispute in a quarterly earnings statement: "Civil judgments that include compounding penalties have been imposed upon us in connection with disputes regarding the termination of accounts, including those of sanctioned parties." Google added, "We do not believe these ongoing legal matters will have a material adverse effect [on earnings]." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russia-fines-google-20-decillion-world-gdp-youtube-kremlin-war-ukraine-rcna178172 |title = Russia fines Google more than the world's entire GDP |author = David Hodari |pub = NBC News |date = October 31, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/31/tech/google-fines-russia/index.html |title = Russia fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 |author = Hanna Ziady; Anna Chernova |pub = CNN |date = October 31, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxvnwkl5kgo |title = Russia fines Google more money than there is in entire world |author = Graham Fraser |pub = BBC |date = October 31, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/30/russia-fines-google-more-than-the-worlds-total-gdp-over-youtube-bans |title = Russia fines Google more than the world's total GDP over YouTube bans |author = Doloresz Katanich |pub = Euronews |date = October 30, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:Russia]] [[Category:Google]] [[Category:YouTube]] [[Category:Courts]] [[Category:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] 2dt4ira6et1wund9iiasxq8hvny2t6n 90 3003217 4803552 2024-11-02T04:16:38Z 2601:640:847F:9B30:B492:4F41:655D:DB9C New thread: whatever this is 4803552 wikitext text/x-wiki This is messed up soo much tbh p7hpljgl8j3gykn0kxa3jmxnt0i7qi1 0 3003233 4853261 4853260 2025-04-28T13:21:42Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[Kemi Badenoch becomes new leader of UK's Conservative Party]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853260 wikitext text/x-wiki {{UK}} {{date|November 4, 2024}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Kemi Badenoch MP as Minister for Equalities and Levelling Up Communities.jpg|thumb|left|170px|Kemi Badenoch's portrait as Minister for Equalities and Levelling Up Communities in 2022 {{image source|{{w|Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities}}}}]] On November 2, {{w|Kemi Badenoch}} was {{w|2024 Conservative Party leadership election|elected}} as the new leader of the [[UK Conservative Party|Conservative Party of the United Kingdom]], becoming the first {{w|Black British people|Black}} leader of a major [[UK]] party and the fourth woman to lead the Tories.

She was estimated to be around 50 years old. Her posture predisposed her to osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint and bone condition that the elephant care team helped manage with multi-modal therapies that included monthly injections. In the past several weeks her range of motion was limited, and she increasingly chose to stay in one spot, presumably due to pain. Due to her poor prognosis, the animal care staff made the decision to euthanize her. She was born in the wild around 1975 in Sri Lanka and was raised at a sanctuary for orphans before being moved to the {{w|Calgary Zoo}} in 1976. She had two calves in Calgary: male Calvin in June 1986 and female Maharani in 1990. When she was transferred to the Smithsonian National Zoo in May 2014 with her calf Maharani and another herd mate. The [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] considers Asian elephants endangered. Her lineage has contributed to the birth of at least a dozen elephant calves around the world. According to the zoo, she served as an ambassador for her species. Her herd mates were not present for the procedure, but were given time to be with her afterward. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url=

My objective is to compile a list of users who made new articles (not spam) and next to each user list top 3 categories their drafts belonged to, including both deleted and published Then I could message them all and offer that they are notified of new drafts in their top Categories, to involve them in copyediting I may require your approval in that this is a good idea, and a pointer to where RecentDeletedChanges is (hope it goes more than a month back) Thanks, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC) :I think this could eventually be useful, but right now we need articles published to generate that data.

I asked someone above to volunteer writing news local to ''my'' area. You could do that too if you wanted too, if you like. If it works, then the same experiment can be repeated with another reviewer (I and perhaps a few other authors could write a few stories within the other reviewer's knowledge area and see how that goes). If it does not work, I will need to figure out what makes reviewing so challenging and how it can be made easier.

Please help revise the following drafts: :*[[Example article headline]] (Event: September 5, 2024) :*[[Example 2]] (Event: September 5, 2024; Revision [[Talk:Example 2#Not ready|requested]]: 15:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC) ) :*[[4 killed in Apalachee High School shooting]] (Event: September 5; Revision [[Talk:4_killed_in_Apalachee_High_School_shooting|requested]]: 02:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)) This template could be shown as part of site notice at the top of each page, at least to the logged in users. Ideally I want users to keep seeing the banner if its content changed, but also be able to opt out of seeing it entirely. I anticipate this could be one way to get more users to copyedit the drafts more quickly to address the reviewers' feedback. On the troublesome side, someone'd need to maintain this template, adding new drafts to it and timestamps of reviewer feedbacks, and remove entries which are over 5 days old from date of event. Also it could be simply cached and out of date, but I hope editing a template makes it auto-expire cache in all target locations. Another version: option 2 :There are [[5 drafts]] in need of revision, please help by revising these submissions. Where the [[5 drafts]] links to a page with the content listed above. Another version: option 3 :There are 5 drafts in need of revision, please help by revising these submissions. Where [[5 drafts]] links to Newsroom, and number 5 is automatically calculated as total number of 'Drafts never reviewed' and 'Drafts up for review' and 'Drafts which were not readied' (whatever corresponding categories are).

Seemed '''important on local scale'''.

There were multiple sources but all on Hong Kong side telling stories of how various journalists were abused. Issues with how it was worded/phrased not neutrally remain. I am trying to understand what prevented someone from rewriting this story and then another person publishing it.

"Dozens". Is this what the report said? :* Lack of precision to "what". "Faced threats and intimidation". This happens ... a lot or a little ... everywhere (should not, but it does). Perhaps the truly focal event is "faced increased abuse after a bill was passed by China". Then this timing needs to be clearly indicated and supported by specific nummbers in the first paragraph. :* So if the first paragraph was like "''HKJA reported a 300% increase of abuse directed at HK journalists since August 15, when the new XYZ bill was introduced by China, compared with orevious 10 years''", then it would read as a clearer description of the event. Or "''For the first time in 10 years, abuse exceeded 5 cases a year, with 50 abuse reports in the last two weeks alone''". Or something. '''Quantitative'''. :Hope it helps. I kept trying to figure out what was causing my concern for publishing and this is probably main cause. :Has the union '''progressed anywhere''' with a campaign to reduce this abuse?

The statement said families and employees of 15 journalists received threatening letters, along with neighbours and landlords of 8 journalists. Additionally at least 36 journalists were targeted online, while 3 were searched when entering Hong Kong by the customs. Given these information, by calculation we expect to have more than 51 individuals affected, but it's difficult to derive an accurate number because some cases might be overlapping. ::# Perhaps precise examples of threats and intimidation would suffice. I agree that the timing is also relatable. ::# There were unfortunately no statistics provided by the union in relation to the abuse cases in the past. ::# The government has commented but only urging the union to report them to the police for investigation.

Kamala Harris, in her concession speech, accepted the results and pledged a peaceful transfer of power. She also promised to continue her advocacy on issues she championed. In addition to the presidential race, U.S. voters chose new members for Congress. Elections were held for 34 out of 100 seats in the Senate and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives.

We have done this on pages that aren't edit-protected. However, many are protected and need an admin to update. The change we are implementing now involves replacing any occurrences of the following text: <code><nowiki>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license]</nowiki></code> ..with {{tl|Current CC Version}}, which will transclude our current version. The template currently renders the following; {{Current CC Version}}. Therefore this change can be implemented now. Once we are ready to do the license upgrade, we can then change the text in that template to reflect the current version and that will in-turn update all pages that include {{tl|Current CC Version}}. Below is a list of edit-protected pages that need to be changed. The list includes pages already changed. You can reference their edit history as examples of what we are doing.

This proposal stems from the need to maintain compatibility with other Wikimedia projects that have already transitioned to a 4.0 version of Creative Commons. The upgrade would help ensure that content can continue to be shared seamlessly across platforms, while also benefiting from the improved terms and broader applicability of the updated license. I am helping to coordinate this effort, primarily for English Wikinews, in collaboration with user MGA73 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MGA73) who is coordinating with other language editions. The various language projects have been consulted, and there is general support for this transition. We have proposed December 16, 2024, as the date for the actual upgrade. We would like to confirm if the Wikimedia Legal Team has any concerns or advice regarding this change. Specifically: 1. Are there any legal or procedural requirements we should address before implementing this upgrade? 2. Is there a need for additional approval or review beyond community consensus across the involved Wikinews projects? 3. Are there any potential risks or considerations that you believe should be communicated to the projects?

Spalding copied Scoop on the email: <pre>Hi Michael, Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate your patience waiting for a reply, and your interest in getting this right. As I said on-Wiki, WMF doesn't have any particular horse in the race of which license is used generally. But it's worth noting that the mechanism that seamlessly moved Wikipedia from CC 3.0 licenses to 4.0 licenses doesn't actually exist for a move from 2.5 to a later license. Therefore, unedited content would remain 2.5, and only new content would be under the new license. Some thoughts on how to navigate this. 1. It would be a good idea to publicly note the crossover date (perhaps in the footer). That way, you can make it clear that content edited before the date is 2.5 and content after the date is under the new agreed-upon license. 2. A future adjustment to the terms of use might be able to fix this. While this plan addresses immediate concerns, there’s potential to smooth out the transition further in future updates to the terms of use. For example, if the community wanted to, it could force a relicense of some (but not all) Wikinews content. However, this would likely be a long-term consideration and not something to implement right away. 3. It may be worth floating the idea of a collective effort to re-license existing 2.5 content to 4.0. One could do this without a TOU update. Any editor can rededicate their own work specifically to a new license. Of course, this would be a lot of work and require a coordinated initiative across the community. This would be up to the community to architect, but just putting it out there as another angle to think about. Please let me know if you have further questions or require additional input. This is a significant step for the Wikinews projects, and I’m happy to provide support wherever needed.</pre> —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 16:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC) tpsoo7aoj7v2juw3a8simu5v44qz674 0 3003842 4853221 4853220 2025-04-28T13:19:00Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[Princess Yuriko of Mikasa, Japan's oldest royal family member, dies at 101]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853220 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|November 20, 2024}} [[File:Princess_Mikasa_2012-1-2.jpg|left|thumb|200x200px|Yuriko in 2012. {{image|Rekishi-JAPAN}}]] Japan's {{w|Yuriko, Princess Mikasa}} passed away on November 14 at 9:32 pm UTC (November 15 at 6:32 am (JST)) at {{w|St. Luke's International Hospital}} in the central Chūō ward of Tokyo.

[Flagged for npov issues by Gryllida at time of publishing. -->In response, Netanyahu’s office rejected the decision, calling it an expression of “{{w|antisemitism}}” in an official statement. Hamas, on the other hand, expressed support for the ICC's involvement. Several countries and organizations have voiced differing opinions on the matter. According to {{w|Josep Borrell}}, the European Union's {{w|High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy|foreign policy chief}}, the ICC's decision is binding on all member states of the {{w|European Union}}. Non-member states like the U.S. reject the court, but several signatory states, including {{w|France}}, {{w|Italy}} and the {{w|Netherlands}}, have expressed their intention to follow ICC rules. The ICC’s decision has turned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others into internationally wanted suspects, exposing them to potential arrest during foreign travel. According to the Pre-Trial Chamber of the ICC, Netanyahu and Gallant are charged with co-perpetrating war crimes, including starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, persecution, and systematic attacks on {{w|Palestinian}} civilian populations. Deif, who is accused of orchestrating and committing war crimes such as targeted rocket attacks and the intentional murder of {{w|Israelis|Israeli}} civilians, was reported killed by Israel. While Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied the claim, the ICC stated it is still gathering information about his alleged death. Previously, the court dropped charges against seven individuals due to their deaths. These warrants legally compel the 124 ICC member states to arrest officials should they enter their territories. Since the ICC lacks its own police force, it relies on member states to carry out arrests.

The firing was the first Hezbollah attack on Israeli forces since the ceasefire agreement. Hezbollah claimed Israel themselves had violated the ceasefire agreement, and that their attacks were a warning shot because of this. Israel claims that Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire on several unspecified occasions. As of December 6, 2024, both sides have repeatedly accused the other of violating the ceasefire, and strikes by Israel have continued. The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has reportedly been violated on several occasions since November 28, two days after it came into effect. The ceasefire deal was first proposed by Amos Hochstein, a top official in the Biden administration of the United States. On Sunday, November 25, 2024, it was announced that the proposal was pending an Israeli response. European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the proposal was waiting final approval by Israel. "We must pressure the Israeli government and maintain the pressure on Hezbollah to accept the US proposal for a ceasefire," he said in Beirut after meeting Lebanese officials. One day later, Israel and Hezbollah negotiated the ceasefire and it came into effect. However, on Thursday, November 28, 2024, Israel fired airstrikes in Lebanon, claiming that they were done in response to Hezbollah's activity in a rocket storage facility in southern Lebanon which allegedly breached the ceasefire. On the same day, the Lebanese Army alleged that Israel had violated the ceasefire by striking Lebanon with "various weapons" and continuing to surveil Lebanese skies with warplanes and drones. Israeli forces have said troops will be withdrawn gradually as they ensure that the ceasefire is being enforced. Israel has warned people repeatedly not to return to areas in which it retains a military presence, and says that it retains the right to strike Hezbollah if it violates the terms of the ceasefire. {{haveyoursay}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://thedefensepost.com/2024/12/06/israel-strikes-hezbollah-smuggling-routes/ |title=Israel says struck Hezbollah "smuggling routes" on Syria-Lebanon border |pub=The Defense Post |date=December 6, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241206112238/https://thedefensepost.com/2024/12/06/israel-strikes-hezbollah-smuggling-routes/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-palestinians-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon-strained-by-strikes/ |title=Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire in Lebanon tested by intensifying cross-border strikes as both sides claim breaches |pub=CBS News |date=December 3, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241204030704/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-palestinians-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon-strained-by-strikes/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-claims-of-violations-on-day-2-war-hamas-gaza/ |title=Israel and Hezbollah both claim ceasefire violations |pub=CBS News |date=November 28, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241203122351/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-claims-of-violations-on-day-2-war-hamas-gaza/ }} *{{source |url=https://theconversation.com/why-israel-and-hezbollah-reached-a-ceasefire-now-and-what-it-means-for-israel-lebanon-biden-and-trump-244700 |title=Why Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire now − and what it means for Israel, Lebanon, Biden, and Trump |author=Asher Kaufman |pub=The Conversation |date=November 27, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130062519/https://theconversation.com/why-israel-and-hezbollah-reached-a-ceasefire-now-and-what-it-means-for-israel-lebanon-biden-and-trump-244700 }} *{{source |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-25/lebanon-ceasefire-pending-israeli-response/104642856 |title=Lebanon ceasefire pending Israeli response after it carried out deadliest attack on Beirut |pub=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |date=November 25, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241125041713/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-25/lebanon-ceasefire-pending-israeli-response/104642856 }} *{{source |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/11/25/live-destruction-in-tel-aviv-beirut-amid-hezbollah-israel-missile-fire |title=Israel, Lebanon officials indicate ceasefire deal is close |author=Lyndal Rowlands, Zaheena Rasheed, Nils Adler, and Farah Najjar |pub=Al Jazeera |date=November 25, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241125135715/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/11/25/live-destruction-in-tel-aviv-beirut-amid-hezbollah-israel-missile-fire }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Lebanon]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Archived-bot]]{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 05zv9ebvzlmd1wk7du371p7ys4lfxk2 0 3004274 4848446 4846107 2025-04-10T17:44:24Z Leaderboard 932513 readd template 4848446 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|December 1, 2024}} [[File:Red Ribbon.svg|left|thumb|200x200px|Red ribbon for AIDS awareness]] {{w|World AIDS Day}} 2024 is its 37^th commemoration since its first recognition by the United Nations in 1988. The observance, aimed at raising public awareness of {{W|acquired immunodeficiency syndrome}} (AIDS), as well as {{W|human immunodeficiency virus}} (HIV), was marked by governments and non-governmental organizations around the world on December 1, with many making announcements in anticipation of the event. The UN theme for this year is "Take the ''rights'' path" to end AIDS, emphasizing a {{w|human rights}}-focused approach. It is the last World AIDS Day before {{w|UNAIDS}}' 95–95–95 target for {{w|treatment as prevention}} is supposed to be fulfilled in 2025. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the {{w|Pan American Health Organization}} was launching a "Better with {{w|PrEP}}" campaign. In the {{w|United States}}, the government's theme for this year was "Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress". President Biden would host the {{w|AIDS Memorial Quilt}} across the White House {{w|South Lawn}} in a first, and on December 5 the White House would also host "Enhancing the Lives of People with HIV: A Quality of Life Symposium". In recent days, the Biden administration has also announced an expansion in the implementation of the {{w|HIV Organ Policy Equity Act}}. In non-governmental activities, the 35th year of the {{w|Day Without Art}} would be marked by {{w|Visual AIDS}} at the {{w|Whitney Museum}} in {{w|New York City}}, and the Latin pop star {{w|Ricky Martin}} would headline the {{w|AIDS Healthcare Foundation}}'s World AIDS Day Concert in {{w|Miami}}. In {{w|South Africa}}, the government's theme for this year is "Equal Rights, Equal Care". Deputy President {{w|Paul Mashatile}}, chair of the South African National AIDS Council, would lead the national commemoration at {{w|Mdantsane}} in the Eastern Cape. In {{w|Kenya}}, the World AIDS Day 2024 Half Marathon in {{w|Nairobi}} was hosted by Health Secretary {{w|Deborah Mlongo Barasa}} with a focus on men and boys living with HIV. In {{w|Nigeria}}, the government's theme this year was a focus on ending AIDS among the country's children by 2030. In {{w|Ghana}}, activist efforts this year have focused on securing government resourcing for the National HIV/AIDS Fund, which was originally supposed to have been established in 2016 under the {{w|Ghana AIDS Commission}}. The {{w|European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control}}, an agency of the {{w|European Union}}, was marking the date by releasing the latest HIV surveillance data for the WHO European Region. In the {{w|United Kingdom}}, Prime Minister Starmer has pledged to end all new HIV transmission in England by 2030 to be supported by new funding for domestic opt-out testing, and as well expanded funding for international health services. In Central and Eastern Europe, those countries that are non-EU such as [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] were mostly limiting their activities to informative events, counseling and free testing activities organized in major cities. ==Sources== '''Global''': *{{source|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/world-aids-day-hiv-rates-open-letter-pandemic-response/|title=We are closer than ever to a future without HIV – our leaders must rise to the occasion|pub=The Daily Telegraph|date=28 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://rightspath.unaids.org/|title=World AIDS Day report 2024: take the rights path|pub=UNAIDS|date=26 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.unaids.org/en/2024-world-aids-day|title=2024 World AIDS Day|pub=UNAIDS|date=November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.unaids.org/en/resources/documents/2024/global-aids-update-2024|title=2024 global AIDS report — The Urgency of Now: AIDS at a Crossroads|pub=UNAIDS|date=22 July 2024}} '''Americas''': *{{source|url=https://www.paho.org/en/news/28-11-2024-world-aids-day-paho-launches-better-prep-campaign|title=On World AIDS Day, PAHO launches Better with PrEP campaign|pub=Pan American Health Organization|date=28 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.advocate.com/news/white-house-national-aids-quilt|title=President Biden to host AIDS Memorial Quilt on White House South Lawn for World AIDS Day|pub=The Advocate|author=Christopher Wiggins|date=28 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2024/11/26/biden-harris-administration-policy-expands-access-life-saving-organs-people-hiv.html|title=Biden-Harris Administration Policy Expands Access to Life-Saving Organs for People with HIV|pub=Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health|date=26 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.hiv.gov/blog/white-house-to-convene-symposium-on-quality-of-life-for-people-with-hiv|title=White House to Convene Symposium on Quality of Life for People with HIV|pub=Office of National AIDS Policy|date=25 November 2024|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241126004431/https://www.hiv.gov/blog/white-house-to-convene-symposium-on-quality-of-life-for-people-with-hiv|brokenURL=true}} *{{source|url=https://www.losangelesblade.com/2024/11/25/ricky-martin-to-headline-world-aids-day-concert-in-miami/|title=Ricky Martin to headline World AIDS Day concert in Miami|pub=Los Angeles Blade|author=Erkki Forster|date=25 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://gaycitynews.com/world-aids-day-events-2024-new-york-city/|title=World AIDS Day events planned in New York City|pub=Gay City News|author=Matt Tracy|date=22 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.cdc.gov/world-aids-day/index.html|title=World AIDS Day|pub=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|date=November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.aidsmemorial.org/world-aids-day-2024|title=World AIDS Day 2024|pub=National AIDS Memorial|date=November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.hiv.gov/blog/world-aids-day-2024-collective-action-sustain-and-accelerate-hiv-progress|title=World AIDS Day 2024: Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress|pub=Office of National AIDS Policy|date=4 October 2024|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241127053514/https://www.hiv.gov/blog/world-aids-day-2024-collective-action-sustain-and-accelerate-hiv-progress|brokenURL=true}} '''Africa''': *{{source|url=https://www.health.go.ke/world-aids-day-2024-half-marathon-launched-accelerate-kenyas-fight-against-hivaids|title=World AIDS Day 2024 Half Marathon Launched to Accelerate Kenya’s Fight Against HIV/AIDS|pub=Ministry of Health (Kenya)|date=30 October 2024|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241207174630/https://www.health.go.ke/world-aids-day-2024-half-marathon-launched-accelerate-kenyas-fight-against-hivaids|brokenURL=true}} *{{source|url=https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-11-28-to-end-aids-by-2030-sa-must-address-stigma-at-all-levels/|title=SA’s commitment to ending Aids by 2030 demands addressing stigma at all levels|pub=Daily Maverick|author=Eva Kiwango|date=28 November 2024}} *{{source|url=https://www.spotlightnsp.co.za/2024/11/28/south-africas-aids-response-progress-challenges-and-opportunities/|title=South Africa’s AIDS response: Progress, challenges, and opportunities|pub=Spotlight|author=Salim S.

The meeting followed a phone call between Trump and Trudeau, which occurred on November 2, regarding Trump's plan to impose a 25% tariff on all goods imported from [[Mexico]] and [[Canada]], which is a plan that Trudeau had previously criticized, saying that it would cause harm to "Canadians who work so well with the United States" while "raising prices for American citizens as well, and hurting American industry and businesses." Trump stated that this tariff "will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country!" Trudeau arrived at {{w|Palm Beach International Airport}} ahead of the meeting. Other attendees included [[North Dakota]] Governor and nominee for Secretary of the Interior {{w|Doug Burgum}}, businessman and nominee for Secretary of Commerce {{w|Howard Lutnick}}, and [[Pennsylvania]] Senator-elect {{w|David McCormick}}.

It would get spammed with one section for each new draft and reviewers can leave notes like "I am taking this" or "Not me, sorry" and then key issues with the story.

One question. * To copy part of article talk to this page, if needed, before article deletion. Proposed by Gryllida. One comment. (Michael.C.Wright) * IRC live chat usage proposed by Gryllida. One comment from Michael.C.Wright expressing concern that it is not recorded. * Off-wiki notifications proposed by Gryllida. One comment from Michael.C.Wright noting it is best to read everything everywhere to catch up. * Android notifications proposed by Gryllida. No comments. * One page for review updates proposed by Gryllida. One comment from Michael.C.Wright suggesting to use talk pages. Gryllida is concerned reviewers are not in any way notified of new updates on talk pages, and reading all recent changes may be too much effort. * 'Save and keep editing' for draft proposed by Gryllida. One comment from Michael.C.Wright saying 'i do not use it, i edit on my pc before posting article on-wiki'. * Gryllida proposed reviewing by specialisation, someone wrote too hard when there is only 1.5 reviewers on site. * News writing theme proposed by Gryllida. Reviewing theme proposed by Michael.C.Wright. Same issue as in previous point. * Site banner/notice proposed to include note of review/drafts status. No comments. * New social bookmarks template proposed by Asked42. No comments. * More OR proposed by Gryllida. No comments. * Coding work needed for draft notifications through massmessage suggested by Gryllida. No response. * Guideline for AI generated content proposed by Michael.C.Wright. Koavf linked related pages. * Inline citations proposed by Michael.C.Wright. Gryllida noted it may be confusing and this is not Wikipedia. * [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance#Mailing_lists Elsewhere] Gryllida proposed mailing lists-like setup to get notifications on-wiki using MassMessage. No response was made. * Gryllida created tiny articles last week. They were easier to review, and were successfully published. Thanks to @[[User:RockerballAustralia|RockerballAustralia]]. Gryllida is seeking to continue this effort. * Gryllida proposed 'review only date of event, and 5W, and no plagiarism' without verifying full article. If some statement is obviously unsourced it can be removed. This should make publishing process quicker. Link to proposal [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance#Mailing_lists here]. * Gryllida is suggesting to undo the status 'global sysops' of this wiki. Discussion is in following section. * @[[User:George Ho|George Ho]] assisted with main page makelead. Thanks. May I suggest that you all comment on the above, 90% of them are on this page and 10% are on another page linked here. This should be less time consuming than full reviews of anything.

There is a [[User:Asked42/QuickCat.js|script]] that might help with easily and quickly creating (or updating) date and month category pages. This will let you know which pages are being created before they are created, so you can identify any mistakes. To use the script, add the following code to your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|common.js page]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="javascript"> mw.loader.load('//en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=User:Asked42/QuickCat.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); </syntaxhighlight> After that, you also need to use the following code somewhere on your subpage to invoke the operation. Or just [[User:Asked42/QuickCat_form|visit this subpage]] after installing the script, to access the form. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> <div id="category-create-form"></div> </syntaxhighlight> Thank you! [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 16:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC) :It can also be used for wikinews date and month list pages.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC) ::This script is useful when there is a need to create [[Wikinews:Categories#Date cats|date categories]] and [[Template:DateDPL|date list]] pages on Wikinews, which are usually generated manually, one by one. This task can be time consuming. By using the script, it becomes possible to quickly generate these pages by simply inputting the year, month, and selecting the type of pages to create (e.g. date categories, month categories, etc). [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 10:17, 21 October 2024 (UTC) == Page UI for writing a new story == About engagement of readers on-wiki. What if there was a widget, which is full screen width, a textbox with a 'write' -- that'd go to headline, and take the users to new article writing page? Currently writing a story requires at least two clicks and one scrolling down, and knowing where to look. The timeless skin ( https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&skin=timeless ) provides full screen width text box for search. A little JS could be written to add a pencil button near search button, which would take the user inputted text as headline, and open the article writing page (https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Template%3ANew_page&editintro=Template%3ANew_article_intro&title=hi&create=Create+page). Hence I propose Option 1 * add javascript which adds the pencil icon * change skin to timeless for all users who didn't edit their skin preference Option 2 * edit sidebar and add a box in it for writing a new article (a text box with a pencil) if software allows, if it does not, then do the same anyway using JavaScript * or a wiki extension, which will take weeks to approve but will behave more stable, because JavaScript is annoying Option 3 * add the text box and pencil button somewhere else in the page where I didn't think of it before The target audience is visitors of main page and people who read articles.

As a result, my feeling is that it's here to stay. Something that's more important is this project's use of LiquidThreads (or LQT - [[mw:LiquidThreads]]) - that predates [[mw:Flow]] which ''itself'' is in the process of being removed.

This allowed the military to control the country. The President cited local unrest caused by "anti-state forces" as the motivation. The military law was lifted 4:30 am Wednesday (19:30 UTC on December 3). Thursday morning the National Assembly filed an impeachment motion to be voted on within 72 hours. President Yoon's speech attributed his decision to impose military law to the National Assembly initiating "22 motions to impeach government officials, and ... pushing for the impeachment of a tenth individual," seeking "to protect the Republic of Korea from the threats of North Korean communist forces, to immediately eradicate the unscrupulous pro-Pyongyang antistate forces that pillage the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect free constitutional order." CNN reported that Yoon's decree of martial law prohibited all political activities. Lawmakers and demonstrators clashed with soldiers outside the National Assembly building. At around 1:00 am local time (16:00 UTC on December 3), the National Assembly gathered to pass a resolution lifting martial law, voting 190–0. Around 4:30 am (19:30 UTC on December 3), President Yoon officially announced that martial law was to be lifted as soon as a quorum of the cabinet were established. President Yoon continued to "request the National Assembly to immediately stop its reckless actions that paralyze the functions of the state through repeated impeachment, legislative manipulation, and budget manipulation." Shortly thereafter, the cabinet voted to lift martial law. {{w|Han Dong-hoon}}, the leader of the conservative {{w|People Power Party (South Korea)|People Power Party}}, of which President Yoon is a member, condemned the declaration, describing it as "wrong" and stating that he would join the opposition and "block it," according to CNN. On Thursday morning, President Yoon assigned a new military minister — Choi Byung-hyuk — to replace {{w|Kim_Yong-hyun_(general)|Kim Yong-hyun}}, who, according to SBS News, allegedly recommended that Yoon declare martial law. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|2024 South Korean martial law}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> * {{Source|author=Reuters|url=https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/south-koreas-parliament-introduces-motion-to-impeach-president/t48gnynd1|title=South Korea's parliament introduces motion to impeach president|date=December 5, 2024|publisher=SBS News}} *{{Source |url = https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-12-04/national/politics/Transcript-President-Yoon-Suk-Yeols-speech-to-declare-emergency-martial-law-/2191990 |title = Transcript: President Yoon Suk Yeol’s speech to declare emergency martial law |author = Sarah Chea |pub = Korea JoongAng Daily |date = December 3, 2024 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/12/south-korea-martial-law-must-not-be-used-to-restrict-human-rights/ |title = South Korea: Martial law must not be used to restrict human rights |author = |pub = Amnesty International |date = December 3, 2024 }} *{{source |url = https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/martial-law-south-korea-intl/index.html |title = South Korean president lifts martial law order after backlash |author = |pub = CNN |date = December 3, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0lgw1pw5zpo |title = South Korean president lifts martial law, with cabinet approving reversal |author = Frances Mao and Jake Kwon |pub = BBC |date = December 3, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:South Korea]] [[Category:Seoul]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Archived-bot]]{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] cf4gm42fb3jznqf2rxg9xvjj3o2m8d5 4 3004711 4833365 4831829 2025-01-02T03:02:09Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 1 thread from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous]] 4833365 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Tech News: 2024-45 == <section begin="technews-2024-W45"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

US national security officials and policymakers have expressed suspicion towards TikTok and its association with the {{w|Chinese Communist Party}}, alleging that the state could potentially use the app to compromise the privacy of American users, as well as to game the app's algorithm to influence public opinion among US citizens. China has long been reluctant to allow TikTok to be sold by force. On behalf of TikTok, spokesperson Michael Hughes stated that the company intends to appeal to the {{w|Supreme Court of the United States}}, and expects the decision to be overturned. Hughes asserted that the decision was based on "inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information" and voiced concern that the ruling "will silence the voices of over 170 million Americans." The ruling, which was unanimously made by a panel of three judges, rejected the notion that the TikTok ban violated the {{w|free speech}} rights of American users, and that the ban complies with {{w|constitutional law}}. The court argued that due to TikTok's "expansive reach," that the ban is necessary to secure national security of the country. The {{w|US Justice Department}} commended the ruling. President-elect {{w|Donald Trump}} has expressed intentions to attempt to save the app, after having previously advocated for the ban himself. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2024/12/02/g-s1-36113/federal-appeals-court-ruling-tiktok-ban |title = Court upholds a U.S. ban on TikTok |author = Bobby Allyn |pub = NPR |date = December 6, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tiktok-ban-appeals-court-congress/ |title = Appeals court upholds TikTok ban, declining to block law that would force sale |author = Caitlin Yilek, Melissa Quinn |pub = CBS News |date = December 6, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:China]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] e8p9ivzdwb17bg9rzwyzhhx0k30g8aw 102 3004878 4807975 2024-12-07T00:15:12Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4807975 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3004879 4853234 4853233 2025-04-28T13:19:29Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[Suspect in shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO fled New York City by bus, police say]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853233 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|December 7, 2024}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{New York}} [[ File:Shooting of Brian Thompson CCTV frame 01.png|thumb|left|Still shot from security camera footage that captured the encounter on video. {{image|No photographer: fixed CCTV}}]] On Friday, {{w|NYPD|New York Police}} Commissioner Jessica Tisch told media that authorities now believe the suspect accused of shooting and {{w|Killing of Brian Thompson|killing}} {{w|UnitedHealthcare}} CEO {{w|Brian Thompson (businessman)|Brian Thompson}} is no longer in {{w|New York City}}, and promptly fled on a bus after the murder.

The jury must now decide on a charge of criminally negligent homicide.

The vote came after President Yoon {{w|2024 South Korean martial law|declared and lifted martial law on Tuesday}}, a move that left many citizens of the country taken aback. [[File:South_Korea_President_Yoon_Suk_Yeol_portrait.jpg|thumb|left|Yoon's official portrait, 2022. {{image source|Yongsan Presidential Office}}]] Members of the president's own ruling party, such as People Power Party head {{w|Han Dong-hoon}}, brought into question his fitness to serve in office, and some made calls for his resignation. In a televised appearance, Yoon apologized to his constituents for giving rise to nationwide apprehension. Some speculated that Yoon's decision to declare martial law was motivated by his recent political adversity, including a scandal from last month involving his alleged misuse of influence over the People Power Party, which he denied. Yoon was previously been attacked by former political opponents for his perceived imprudence. Yoon's declaration on Tuesday was immediately met with backlash from lawmakers. Although the {{w|Constitution of South Korea|South Korean constitution}} allows for the president to enact martial law in response to extreme circumstances, it also allows for the National Assembly to annul this decision through a majority vote. In this case, the vote was 190-0. Political unrest and nationwide protests were reportedly expected in response to the axing of the impeachment. Martial law has been declared in South Korea several times throughout the nation's history. == Related news == *{{wikinews|President of South Korea declares and lifts martial law|December 8, 2024}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-martial-law-north-korea-emergency-b310df4fece42c27051f58b8951f346f |title = What to know about martial law and the impeachment vote threatening South Korea’s president |author = Foster Klug |pub = AP News |date = December 7, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-koreas-yoon-embittered-survivor-staggers-after-impeachment-vote-2024-12-07/ |title = South Korea's Yoon: Embittered survivor staggers on after impeachment vote |author = Jack Kim |pub = Reuters |date = December 7, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:South Korea]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Yoon Suk Yeol]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] 22qvadhpr0jx2eoomf7lzdnpkc44khu 0 3004922 4808122 2024-12-07T19:00:15Z Gryllida 160590 Gryllida moved page [[Manslaughter charges against Daniel Perry dismissed following jury deadlock]] to [[Manslaughter charges against Daniel Penny dismissed following jury deadlock]]: name fix within 24 hours after publishing 4808122 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Manslaughter charges against Daniel Penny dismissed following jury deadlock]] 9ipb544x03qpme4fd3cuaaxs06qv5ti 0 3004941 4853257 4853256 2025-04-28T13:21:30Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[World leaders attend grand reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris five years after damaging fire]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853256 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|December 8, 2024}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Notre-Dame_de_Paris,_4_October_2017.jpg|thumb|right|The Notre-Dame cathedral. {{image|Ali Sabbagh}}]] [[File:Emmanuel_Macron_March_2024_(4).jpg|thumb|left|French president {{w|Emmanuel Macron}} was in attendance of the cathedral's grand reopening ceremony. {{image|Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024}}]] On Saturday, {{w|Notre-Dame de Paris}} reopened in {{w|Paris, France}} after five years of closure following a {{w|Notre-Dame_fire|fire in April 2019}} that severely damaged the building's structure.

The event was described as emblematic of [[France|French]] pride by French president {{w|Emmanuel Macron}}, who said, "This cathedral is a happy metaphor of what nation is and what the world should be. The world finds the cathedral rebuilt and we must keep like a treasure the lesson of fragility, humility and willingness. Tonight we share the joy and the pride."

With a {{w|buyer's premium}} appended, the buyer will actually pay a total of US$32.5 million, setting an all-time record for highest selling price on an entertainment memorabilia item, {{W|The Hollywood Reporter}} reported.

There were reportedly only four remaining pairs of ruby slippers worn in the film that have survived to the present day. In addition to their veneration as a piece of the iconic character's costume in the film, this particular pair of slippers made headlines again in 2005 when they were stolen while on display at the {{w|Judy Garland Museum}} in {{w|Grand Rapids, Minnesota}}, and for thirteen years were presumed lost until the {{w|FBI}} recovered them in 2018. The Judy Garland Museum was among the bidders in the auction, bidding to buy the slippers back from memorabilia antiquarian Michael Shaw. Shaw had loaned the wardrobe piece to the museum to begin with, and had regained possession after their recovery by authorities. The shoes have been called the "Holy Grail of {{w|Hollywood}} memorabilia", and "the most iconic piece of {{w|film memorabilia|memorabilia}} in movie history" by auctioneers. ''The Wizard of Oz'' has enjoyed renewed public attention in regards to the recent release of a {{w|Wicked (film)|prequel film}} centered on the original film's antagonist, the {{w|Wicked Witch of the West}}.

The decision came after Trump has asserted previously that he will fire Wray upon taking office in January. According to Reuters, Trump was aiming to limit the authority of FBI, connecting this decision to FBI's investigation into Trump after he left his office in 2020. Wray said the decision was made after careful deliberation. He said he would continue his work in his current role until the end of current administration, January of next year. Wray commented, "In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work." In response to Wray's decision, Trump called the resignation "a great day for America." On November 30, Trump announced the nomination of his former aide, {{w|Kash Patel}}, as the new head of the FBI, a decision set to take effect when Trump assumes office. During his first term in 2017, Trump nominated Wray to replace former FBI Director [[James Comey]], whom he fired after Comey fell out of favor over investigations into alleged ties between Trump's [[2016 United States presidential election|2016]] campaign and [[Russia]]. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce902z8lp81o |title = FBI Director Christopher Wray to resign before Trump takes office |author = Nadine Yousif |pub = BBC News |date = December 11, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-director-wray-resign-fox-news-reports-2024-12-11/ |title = FBI Director Chris Wray to resign following Trump nomination of Patel |author = Sarah N.

The vote was the result of Yoon declaring and lifting martial law following months of political adversity, which he justified under the pretense of preserving democracy in the country. The motion came after a previous unsuccessful attempt to impeach Yoon last week, which failed after members of the {{w|People Power Party (South Korea)|People Power Party}} (Yoon's ruling party) staged a walkout and refused to attend the hearing. In this instance, People Power Party allowed its members to make their own decision in the vote. Twelve party members voted in favor of impeachment, and another 85 voted in opposition to the motion. Consequently, Yoon was suspended from office, and South Korean Prime Minister {{w|Han Duck-soo}} was designated as the nation's {{w|acting president}}. Han has stated that his goal was to restore "normalcy" to the people of South Korea. Han and South Korean finance minister {{w|Choi Sang-mok}} both participated in a police probe pertaining to Yoon. Yoon became the first South Korean president to be banned from leaving the country, which was the result of an investigation into intentions of {{w|insurrection}}. {{w|Democratic Party (South Korea, 2015)|Democratic Party}} leader {{w|Lee Jae-myung}} lauded the decision and said "the people are owners of this country." Yoon himself expressed his view that the vote was but a minor setback in his presidency, vowing to "never give up", {{w|BBC}} reported. He was quoted saying, "I will take your criticism, praise, and support to the heart and do my best for the country until the end." The decision still required ratification by the {{w|Constitutional Court of Korea}}, which has 180 days to make a decision, BBC reported. If the court votes to remove Yoon from office, an election to replace him must be held within 60 days. Constitutional Court Acting Chief Justice {{w|Moon Hyung-bae}} affirmed that the trial would be "speedy and fair." The motion was met with celebratory {{w|fireworks}} and song outside the National Assembly from thousands of dissenters, in the "bitter cold", BBC reported. NPR reported that many were seen waving {{w|Impact_and_popularity_of_K-pop#Fan_culture|light sticks}} often seen at {{w|K-pop}} concerts. {{w|Polling data}} suggested that three-quarters of South Koreans supported the removal of Yoon from office. While serving as prosecuter, Yoon himself personally oversaw the investigation that resulted in the {{w|Impeachment of Park Geun-hye|impeachment}} of former South Korean president {{w|Park Geun-hye}} in 2016. {{clear|left}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|Impeachment of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol fails|December 8, 2024}} *{{wikinews|President of South Korea declares and lifts martial law|December 8, 2024}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c140xjv31lxo |title = South Korea parliament votes to impeach president |author = Kelly Ng |pub = BBC |date = December 14, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2024/12/14/nx-s1-5228633/south-korea-parliament-impeach-president-yoon-suk-yeol |title = South Korea's parliament votes to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol |author = Anthony Kuhn |pub = NPR |date = December 14, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived}} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:South Korea]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] i9fq9fl3fza0mzj60x4qbqdluigxg18 102 3005317 4809879 2024-12-14T15:21:03Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4809879 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 10 3005334 4809990 4809988 2024-12-14T22:07:14Z Gryllida 160590 id 4809990 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Userbox | border-c=#A3B0BF | border-s=1 | id-c=#CEDFF2 | id-s=12 | id-fc=#000000 | id-op= | info-c=#E6F1FF | info-s=8 | info-fc=#000000 | info-lh=1.2em | info-op= | id=Discord | info=This user uses [[Wikinews:Discord|Discord]]{{#if: {{{nick|}}} |&nbsp;as '''{{{nick}}}'''}}. | usercategory=Discord users }} <noinclude> [[Category:Userboxes|Discord]] </noinclude> e9u6fy65u9zic9vjwdcjv70we1rr1de 10 3005335 4809994 2024-12-14T22:08:15Z Gryllida 160590 c 4809994 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Userbox | border-c=#A3B0BF | border-s=1 | id-c=#CEDFF2 | id-s=12 | id-fc=#000000 | id-op= | info-c=#E6F1FF | info-s=8 | info-fc=#000000 | info-lh=1.2em | info-op= | id=Telegram | info=This user uses [[Wikinews:Telegram|Telegram]]{{#if: {{{nick|}}} |&nbsp;as '''{{{nick}}}'''}}. | usercategory=Telegram users }} <noinclude> [[Category:Userboxes|Telegram]] </noinclude> 700cgh04ox7u17b1u37oz96i5o4wzcp 10 3005336 4809997 2024-12-14T22:08:59Z Gryllida 160590 c 4809997 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Userbox | border-c=#A3B0BF | border-s=1 | id-c=#CEDFF2 | id-s=12 | id-fc=#000000 | id-op= | info-c=#E6F1FF | info-s=8 | info-fc=#000000 | info-lh=1.2em | info-op= | id=Matrix | info=This user uses [[Wikinews:Matrix|Matrix]]{{#if: {{{nick|}}} |&nbsp;as '''{{{nick}}}'''}}. | usercategory=Matrix users }} <noinclude> [[Category:Userboxes|Matrix]] </noinclude> rhf9gopw9lmhcbwa0lr7r4owz7rsqkk 10 3005430 4810434 4810431 2024-12-16T14:13:31Z ITZQing 2859363 4810434 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude><div class="center"><big>'''Please see [[:Category:Language templates|Language templates]] for a list of all pre-made language templates.'''</big></div></noinclude>{{languageicon|cnr|Montenegrin|Montenegrin language|usecode={{{usecode|}}}}}<noinclude> {{Documentation|Template:Language/doc}} </noinclude> h249wuhtx168lbnbhjz1priy5sqvywp 10 3005431 4810432 2024-12-16T14:08:12Z ITZQing 2859363 Redirected page to [[Template:Montenegrin]] 4810432 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Template:Montenegrin]] jjr08pmjvpslnle9dw3ljv0vyfohuft 8 3005438 4810442 2024-12-16T15:52:36Z Leaderboard 932513 route to AAA so that good-faith users know where to ask for help 4810442 wikitext text/x-wiki This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed.

Bragg contended that Mangione carried out the attack with the intent to "sow terror." A {{w|post-9/11}} law in New York State allowed prosecutors to pursue terrorism charges if the defendant "intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping." Mangione's lawyer did not comment on that matter. However, he contended that he had yet to see evidence that would tie his defendant's weapon to Thompson's killing. Mangione faced two additional counts of {{w|second-degree murder}}. Mangione was held at {{w|State Correctional Institution Huntingdon}}, in {{w|Huntingdon, Pennsylvania|Huntingdon}}, [[Pennsylvania]] under {{w|maximum security}} without bail. He faces the potential penalty of {{w|life in prison}} with no parole for the murder. A court hearing was scheduled for December 19, that would decide whether Mangione would face {{w|extradition}} to New York for the murder charges. This is the same day as Mangione's preliminary hearing for gun charges in Pennsylvania. Local police arrested Mangione at a {{w|McDonald's}} in {{w|Altoona}}, Pennsylvania, on December 9, after an employee recognized and reported him. Police arrived and questioned Mangione, and said that he became "visibly nervous" and started shaking when asked if he had been to New York recently, [[CBS News]] reported. The authorities charged Luigi Mangione with "carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities and possessing instruments of crime," Australia's [[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]] reported. Police mentioned that he was found in possession of a "{{w|ghost gun}}" and a silencer that was consistent with the one used to slay Thompson, ABC News reported. He was also found in possession of fake IDs that were consistent with the ones he used while staying at a hostel in Manhattan, CBS News reported. The suspect was found carrying a large sum of cash, some of which was foreign currency, [[BBC News Online]] reported. Authorities noted the suspect had a handwritten note about health insurance companies supposedly prioritising profits over customer care. CBS News reported that the {{w|New York Police Department}} (NYPD) clarified Mangione was never a UnitedHealthcare client and officials suggested he targeted Thompson because of the company's significant size and influence. New York Police Commissioner {{w|Jessica Tisch}} was quoted saying "any attempt to rationalize this is vile, reckless and offensive to our deeply held principles of justice."

On New Year's Eve, at {{W|Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve}} in Times Square, large crowds gathered for hours to see the ball drop, weathering stormy conditions throughout the evening and wrapping themselves in plastic ponchos; many streets were blocked off, between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, and between 38th Street and 56th Street, with various entrances placed at different intersections for crowd control. Small crowds would be placed in 'holding pens' along paths approaching Times Square; occasionally, police officers would allow some people in one pen to join the next pen and get closer to Times Square. Rain started around 7:00&nbsp;p.m. New York Time (midnight, UTC); an hour before the ball descended, the rain stopped and the weather cleared to allow for an ideal viewing experience. Shortly before midnight, {{W|Mickey Guyton}} performed a version of {{W|John Lennon}}'s {{w|Imagine (song)|Imagine}}. Once the ball dropped, following a countdown until midnight, large amounts of confetti were released, which included little colored pieces of paper on which people had written messages. "We came last year and we were all the way in Central Park," a woman named Ile told ''Wikinews'' in Times Square, after midnight. "We couldn't see too much, so we said 'next year we will come back.' We made it." What about next year? Her partner David replied: "We're going to be even closer to the stage." As soon as people started departing, crews began to dismantle the event setup. Even the ball would be dismantled, as it was to be retired and replaced—with a new iteration. Preparation for the festivities started on the weekend, during which workers had set up stages, sound systems, and displays for the event. Between 42nd and 48th Streets and beyond, equipment for the event was set up by production crews. On side streets, large containers were also parked housing broadcasting equipment. On Monday and Tuesday, leading up to New Year's Eve, merchants [[wikt:hawk#Verb_2|hawked]] New Year's-themed merchandise. Vendor tables were scattered across the streets of Manhattan, often situated right by subway station entrances going in the direction to Times Square. Saturday, December 28, was {{W|Good Riddance Day}}, an annual event hosted by actor {{W|Jonathan Bennett (actor)|Jonathan Bennett}}. People lined up, braving the slight precipitation, to write on little chalkboards things they want to leave behind in 2024, then cathartically erase them. Messages erased were put up onto a tall display in Times Square, below the ball, floating up to the sky. Bystanders could also submit their messages using a QR code, allowing them to be displayed virtually and float away. "I think a lot of times we make a New Year's resolution for things that we want to do, but we forget there's a whole bunch of stuff that we could leave behind. And I like the idea of, 'Hey, I'm not bringing this into another year,'" A participant named Jennine told ''Wikinews'' "I like getting rid of it;" Julie, who was with her, added, "Empty your cup before before you fill it back up." Separately, a participant named Mireia told ''Wikinews'' that she wanted to say 'Good riddance' to her mother's {{W|ovarian cancer}}. "She['s had] cancer for one year and a half ... but it's very bad cancer," adding that the cancer was considered to be stage four. While on holiday from Spain, she was participating in Good Riddance Day in order to share her story with scientists working on treatments and to "send that message to the world." == Gallery == {{Sisters|commons|Category:Good Riddance Day 2024}} {{Sisters|commons|Category:New Year 2025 celebrations in Times Square}} <gallery> Newyears loz batrch 7.jpg|The Times Square Ball{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyearseve loz batrch 20.jpg|AV equipment line the streets{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyearseve loz batrch 22.jpg|A police dog assisting in crowd control{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyearseve loz batrch 50.jpg|A newsstand worker was open throughout the night{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Loz nye 4.png|8th avenue was blocked off to vehicle traffic{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} </gallery> <gallery> Loz nye 5.png|Crowds enter the crowd control area{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyears loz batrch 5.jpg|Waiting at the edge of one of the holding pens{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyears loz batrch 9.jpg|The start of the next pen over{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Loz nye 6.png|Some people are let out of a pen into a closer pen{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyearseve loz batrch 45.jpg|Waiting in ponchos because of the rain{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} </gallery> <gallery> Newyearsball loz 2025 04.png|The ball descending, with accompanying fireworks{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Loz ny batrch3.jpg|Confetti rains down on celebrations{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyearseve loz batrch 32.jpg|Wet confetti on the ground{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Loz nye batrch4DSC03131 05.jpg|Two members of the press take a photo together{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} Newyearseve loz batrch 31.jpg|A child takes some confetti off the ground{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} </gallery> {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{Original reporting}} * {{Source |author=John Dias |pub=CBS News |title=Times Square New Year's Eve ball unveiled for 2025 celebration |date=December 28, 2024 |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/times-square-ball-new-years-eve-2025/}} {{Archived}} [[Category:New York]] [[Category:New York, New York]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] bokt952cbteftc98ldjbjd2o9h30zhj 0 3005986 4853241 4853240 2025-04-28T13:19:46Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[Trump team urges US Supreme Court to halt looming TikTok ban]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853240 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|January 1, 2025}} {{Crime and law}} [[File:Donald Trump in Paris, France on 7 December 2024 (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Trump on December 7. {{image|{{w|Office of the President of Ukraine}}}}]] [[File:Censorship of Tik Tok.svg|thumb|left|Wikipedia research indicating worldwide availability of TikTok. Countries coloured red enforce a ban on the app for all citizens, and those coloured blue have it banned on government devices. {{image|[[c:User:A09|A09]]}}]] The lawyer of [[United States]] president-elect [[Donald Trump]] urged the [[US Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] Friday to pause enforcement of a law which could ban {{w|TikTok}} to enable him "...to pursue a political resolution". In an ''{{w|amicus curiae}}'' brief, {{w|D. John Sauer}}, whom Trump has tapped as his nominee for solicitor general, wrote the president-elect "respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case". In April, [[US Congress]] passed, and President [[Joe Biden]] signed, a bipartisan measure which would force TikTok's [[China|Chinese]] parent company {{w|ByteDance}} to either sell the popular social media app to an American company or face an effective ban on its use in the US 270 days after passage. As no potential buyer has materialised, a ban on TikTok's distribution in US {{w|app stores}} and {{w|internet service providers}} is set to enter effect on January 19, one day before Trump's inauguration. Since then, TikTok has lodged multiple unsuccessful lawsuits against the {{w|Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act}}, arguing that it violates the {{w|Freedom of speech in the United States|right to free speech}} granted in the {{w|First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment}} to the [[Constitution of the United States|US Constitution]]. Last Wednesday, the nation's top court agreed to hear an appeal on an unusually expedited schedule, with oral arguments to begin January 10. However, it refused TikTok's request to issue an emergency injunction, leaving just over a week for justices to issue a ruling. In its own filing, the {{w|United States Department of Justice|US Justice Department}} argued the law was specifically written to target national security threats associated with "foreign-adversary control of TikTok: namely, the collection of sensitive data of U.S. persons and malign foreign influence of the platform targeting U.S. persons", and "at most incidentally burdens protected speech." The Biden administration warned that China, "...could covertly manipulate the platform to advance its geopolitical interests and harm the United States — by, for example, sowing discord and disinformation during a crisis." Another supportive brief by 22 state attorneys general, led by [[Montana]]'s {{w|Austin Knudsen}} and [[Virginia]]'s {{w|Jason Miyares}}, added that due to TikTok's "core technology and infrastructure" being ultimately controlled by the {{w|Chinese Communist Party}} (CCP), it may allow the Party "to track the realtime locations of public officials, journalists, and other individuals adverse to the Chinese Communist Party’s interests." However, TikTok has argued that it has worked to address the Justice Department's concerns, stating its user data was stored in US data servers managed by [[Texas]]-based [[Oracle Corporation]], and that it makes all content moderation decisions which affect American users in the US. The company also criticised how the Act was passed through Congress based upon "flawed and hypothetical information", "[history] and precedent teach that, even when national security is at stake, speech bans must be Congress’s last resort." Free speech organisations supporting TikTok in briefs compared the Act with those passed by dictatorships, with the Knight First Amendment Institute at [[Columbia University]] arguing: "Restricting access to foreign media to protect against purported foreign manipulation is a practice that has long been associated with repressive regimes [...] The government has no legitimate interest in banning Americans from accessing foreign speech — even if the speech comprises foreign propaganda or reflects foreign manipulation." The Chinese government itself has also consistently denied allegations that the app threatens US security. Earlier this month, the {{w|United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit|federal appeals court}} for [[Washington, D.C.]] ruled the government had presented "persuasive evidence" of the law's narrow focus. However, a brief headlined by the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] argued the three-justice panel was too generous with the Act, which "triggers and fails the most exacting scrutiny under the First Amendment." Though Trump's brief, his first since winning the presidential election in November, remains neutral "on the underlying merits of this dispute", it maintains he "opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture". This is a shift from Trump's hawkish position in 2020, when he signed an executive order banning it and other apps like {{w|WeChat}} and {{w|AliPay}}, which got tied up in legal disputes and ultimately was revoked by Biden in June 2021 in favour of a formal investigation. Since then, however, Trump has said he has a "warm spot in my heart for TikTok", and credited the app with his increased popularity among youth voters, including falsely claiming a majority had voted for him in the November election. In June, Trump's campaign created a TikTok account that within days dwarfed the follower and like count of the account of then-opponent Biden. [[CNN]] has also reported that Trump met with TikTok CEO {{w|Shou Zi Chew}} this month hours after making those complimentary remarks, and that Chew further spoke with Trump Friday evening after the brief was filed. Sauer's text mentions that "President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the Government". However, the law's "unfortunate timing [January 19 deadline] interferes with President Trump’s ability to manage the United States' foreign policy and to pursue a resolution to both protect national security and save a social-media platform that provides a popular vehicle for 170 million Americans to exercise their core First Amendment rights." Therefore, by affording Trump the time to liaise with lawmakers, the Court may "obviate the need [...] to decide the historically challenging First Amendment question". However, the ban has support from politicians of both parties, including both the chair and ranking member of the {{w|United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party|House Select Committee on the CCP}}, and members of Trump's first administration, such as former Vice President [[Mike Pence]], attorney general [[Jeff Sessions]] and {{w|Federal Communications Commission}} chair {{w|Ajit Pai}}.

I'd have thought you (Gryllida) had taken from TOG's failure the same conclusion Pi and others had; an idealistic review system is what energizes the project and helps sustain it in the long term. We don't have to speculate about the impact a lax, just-check-the-basics version of review would have on en.wn &mdash; the evidence is already there. ::::::"I think we should start the conversation by listing what are the minimum components of the current review system we must keep": That's ''all'' of them. You can't, as you (Michael) tried to, order the core review standards by importance. Everything we do, we do because we need to do it to achieve the highest possible quality. We do ''that'' (this connects back to motivation) because it is a core principle of the project that our standards aim to be higher than large mainstream news organizations. Otherwise, what gives this project any right to claim the credibility it automatically lacks, by virtue of being staffed by volunteers, over a blog or citizen journalism site, including those that lack a review system entirely (BTW, Wikinews has far outlasted most of its peers among 2000s citizen journalism projects). We should be doing the best work we can, allowing the project to slowly grow its userbase and therefore output, and become "successful" (which I think people's judgement of is also influenced too much by "ratings", frankly) thus.

To expand on what I said, I think volume of output, viewership, and activity are popularly perceived as far better measures of project success than they really are. "Do you feel like the project is energized": Actually, relative to a year ago, it is. Enough? No. But like I was saying, torching the system might produce great short-term results, but in the long run I think it would destroy the project from the inside (and we can't truly reverse course once we've corroded our reputation).

Three are core policy: Neutrality, Verifiability, and Copyright.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Policies_and_guidelines] The other two are guidelines. If there is any wiggle room in changing the review process easily, without changing core policies, it would be in the guidelines. I personally am not in favor of "gutting" the review system. I also don't agree that merely checking the 5Ws and not checking every sentence is viable. My experience with reviewing [[Israel confirms death of Hamas leader in Gaza]] has proven the importance of a rigorous review system to me. But our current review process combined with too few active reviewers is also demonstrably not viable. It might be possible to retain a majority, if not all of our current review system if we move some of the workload 'up stream' by requiring authors to use {{tl|verify}} and similar, to-be-developed, temporary markup that facilitates the review process. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 14:01, 24 October 2024 (UTC) :Retaining the "no plagiarism, 5Ws answered, npov" would already put the site ahead of 99.99% of other news sources. I think minor inaccuracies are acceptable. :I agree with you that political articles are more controversial and aligning with npov is difficult. It is worthwhile checking each sentence of what they write because politicians lie more than an average person. :I mentioned earlier that it can help to have real time communication with someone who can readily assist to fix issues with an article, then publishing more quickly becomes possible, so I think having some working real time app for you would help; I'm open to any apps that generate instant notification on both of our devices when we exchange messages.

Otherwise I agree with this comment. ::[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: I have no idea where you got the "99.99%" figure from. Nor does it matter what "other news sources" do. For the record, my practice has always been to cut unverifiable information unless it is needed to answer the 5Ws and H (and mention I did so in the review comments if there was a lot). I support recommending reviewers do that instead of pursuing reporters to address any verifiability issues.

Boric's visit has been hailed as a major achievement, making him the first sitting head of state in history to reach the South Pole, and the third head of government after New Zealand's {{w|Helen Clark}} and Norway's {{w|Jens Stoltenberg}}. Boric’s expedition was part of "Operation Polar Star III," which reaffirmed Chile's commitment to Antarctica’s preservation and scientific research. Accompanied by his defense and environment ministers, as well as three military commanders, the Chilean leader arrived at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, a U.S. research base, at 8pm GMT, his office reported. Boric is the first Latin American leader to reach the planet’s southernmost point, as stated by his office. "This is a milestone for us," Boric said, in footage broadcast by Chilean television. "It is the first time a Chilean president has come to the South Pole and talked about Chile’s Antarctic mission." Boric planned to spend approximately two hours at the U.S. outpost, situated in one of the planet’s most remote and harshest regions. "This trip is a confirmation of our claim to sovereignty" over part of Antarctica, he said. Throughout the 20th century, countries like Chile, France, the U.S., the UK, Argentina, and Japan established research stations in Antarctica for scientific purposes and to solidify their presence in the forbidding region. Since 1961, activities in Antarctica have been governed by the ''Antarctic Treaty'', which seeks to protect the continent and surrounding seas from geopolitical tensions. The U.S. State Department states that seven countries, including Chile, maintain territorial claims in Antarctica, but, "...the United States and most other countries do not recognize those claims." Boric's journey began early in the day from Punta Arenas, in southern Chile, and he reached Chile’s research station on the Union Glacier in Antarctica aboard a Hercules C-130 military transport plane. Boric’s visit comes at a "critical time for Chile’s scientific endeavors in the region," his office stated. In the past, Chile has focused its research in the northern part of Antarctica, but the South American country hopes to expand its efforts to the Bellingshausen and Weddell Seas, according to a statement from the presidency "This is a historic moment for Chile," Boric said, adding, "It is an honor to be the first president to visit this place. To see the Chilean flag among the 12 representing the signatories of the Antarctic Treaty fills me with pride." Boric’s visit emphasizes Chile's strategic interest in Antarctica, a region that has been the subject of territorial disputes over time. Chile continues to defend its claim over its portion of the continent, reaffirming its commitment to science and sovereignty in the region. {{-}} {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/03/chilean-president-makes-historic-trip-to-south-pole-amid-antarctica-sovereignty-claim|title=Chilean president makes historic trip to South Pole amid Antarctica sovereignty claim|author=Agence France-Presse|pub=The Guardian|date=January 3, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.radiopolar.com/jefe-historia-pisar-polo-sur-hito-marco-visita-presidente-boric-antartica|title=El primer jefe de estado de la historia en pisar el Polo Sur|author=Radio Polar|pub=Radio Polar|date=January 3, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.latercera.com/nacional/noticia/presidente-boric-destaca-viaje-al-polo-sur-nos-permite-posicionarnos-como-la-principal-puerta-de-entrada-a-la-antartica/36GKAZ4BOJFCVI3HQNYJT577MM/|title=Presidente Boric destaca viaje al Polo Sur: “Nos permite posicionarnos como la principal puerta de entrada a la Antártica”|author=Paz Rubio|pub=La Tercera|date=January 4, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/04/americas/chile-boric-south-pole-antarctica-intl/index.html|title=Chile’s President Boric leads journey to South Pole in historic trip|author= Catherine Nicholls and Natasha Maguder|pub=CNN|date=January 4, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj0r675re2no|title=Chilean president makes historic trip to South Pole|author=Jack Burgess & Leonardo Rocha|pub=BBC|date=January 3, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://en.mercopress.com/2025/01/04/boric-reaches-south-pole|title=Boric reaches South Pole|author=MercoPress|pub=MercoPress|date=January 4, 2025}} {{Archived}} [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:World]] [[Category:World records]] [[Category:Environment]] [[Category:Weather]] [[Category:Chile]] [[Category:Antarctica]] [[Category:2025]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}} hs6blj2e9numom5t1yr3cwrhxky7ett 4 3006485 4834065 2025-01-05T03:01:25Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 1 thread from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/technical]] 4834065 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Date categories == How are the dates categories created for published articles?

When viewed or considered as if one wants to shutter en.WN, and if we discount the advantage of peer review (which arguably WP has), there is no real advantage of en.WN publishing our article in addition to the coverage that en.WP already has on that event. WP has much better reach as far as readership, the platform is better-maintained, its impact on the Internet-at-large far exceeds en.WN, and the WP community is highly active. en.WN by contrast is 1) not highly active, 2) does not significantly impact the wider Internet infrastructure or other wiki projects, 3) lacks the resources necessary to sustainably execute the project's mission, and 4) has a strong external project to merge with; WP.

Yes. Can? Jury's out. :If you look at community discussions for the past 12 years or so, there are routine discussions about how Wikinews is dying and we need to do <var>x</var> to save it. In reality, when Wikinews was founded, that was the golden age of citizen journalists and semi-professional bloggers, before a lot of that got gobbled up by social media sites (c. 2003 to 2010). I think there's still a place for Wikinews and I hope it's successful, but I'm not very optimistic about any legitimate course for Wikinews to be a place where someone could read the homepage and click thru on a number of articles to be reasonably informed about current affairs, which is the basic measure of whether or not a general interest news site is successful. And since ostensibly, Wikinews has no ''particular'' geographic scope (unlike a local newspaper) or point of view (like a political party-run paper or a government propaganda outlet) or limitation on topics (unlike specialist publications), the reasonable amount of stories published on Wikinews to meet its mandate would be several hundred a day at a minimum and ideal maybe... 20,000? about local news, sports, scientific findings, interviews, human interest stories, photojournalism, exposes, investigative journalism, and so on. Wikinews is really orders of magnitude away from where it ''should'' be and it would require thousands and thousands of active editors to even approach that, but even if we were just narrowly trying to cover the dozen or so biggest stories of the day, plus some original reporting, that's already a struggle here. :I don't want to be dour, but the situation is dire and I will continue to contribute original reporting to Wikinews and do occasional maintenance, but we should be realistic about how Wikinews is basically irrelevant to the online news landscape and is easily the weakest of all our sister projects. Even other small projects like [[:b:]] or [[:v:]] could in principle "catch up" to where they need to be, because it's not like there is an urgent need for a few hundred new textbooks a day, so we could kinda/sorta get around to those sooner or later, but when news becomes old it ceases to be news at all. The problem actually only gets ''worse'' day by day. :/ :If anyone out there has great brainstorming on how to achieve that goal or get even 1% of the way to it, I'm all ears. Unfortunately, I've chimed in on these conversations many times over the past decade and the problem persists. The only reasonable ideas that I have ever come up with are 1.) having journalism students at universities publish here and 2.) copy news from appropriately-licensed venues. In the past, the community has more-or-less rejected the latter. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 00:06, 19 October 2024 (UTC) :I've written a proposal at water cooler, the idea is to write shorter stories to get them out more quickly.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:05, 19 October 2024 (UTC) :::For every article a reviewer writes, at least two reviewers' time is consumed. If we think about a reviewer's time being the ability to do work, i.e., publish a story, and one reviewer 'unit' can be spent on any given article to ''either'' write/expand it ''or'' review it, then any time reviewer units are scarce for the project, reviewer units (I think) should be used to review/coach, not to write/expand. :::And I consider myself 1/2 or .5 of a reviewer unit. Reviews take me more time as I learn how to review and publish effectively, accurately, etc. It will also consume another reviewer to double-check my work and possibly issue corrections if the work can't be checked within 24 hours (as has happened). :::I believe this is an 'all hands on deck' situation for both reviewers and admins. I'm starting to wonder if the more established or senior reviewers and admins are like the proverbial frogs in boiling water, unaware of how the environment is changing around them. It seems they might be thinking, 'It's always been like this, nothing has collapsed yet, so what's the big deal?' :::I went to the front page of en.Wikipedia today and there is a section titled "In The News."

I am not a Trump supporter, nor do I use TikTok, but I believe banning TikTok in the US is unjustified. The Justice Department has labeled TikTok as being under 'foreign-adversary control,' citing national security concerns related to data collection and potential foreign influence. However, there is nothing about China or its actions that inherently threatens America or 'the American way of life.' On the contrary, fostering good relations between the two countries promotes economic growth and benefits citizens on both sides. Framing China as an adversary is a dangerous and counterproductive narrative that fuels global instability and xenophobia within the US. As the two largest economies, the US and China should focus on collaboration on critical global issues—such as climate change, preventing large-scale conflicts, and trade—rather than confrontation. Moreover, banning TikTok would be hypocritical, given the US’s criticism of China for restricting American apps and companies like Google. For these reasons, I oppose any legislation rooted in hawkishness and confrontational posturing towards China, and I hope TikTok continues to operate in the US. 97cmrphwewpcyhdp4205xo0crn2s3db 10 3007011 4865188 4865179 2025-06-20T02:36:04Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Add a visibility= parameter 4865188 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude>{{xambox | type = warning | image = [[File:Emojione 26A0.svg|40px]] | text = This template is believed to be fully functional.

At his inauguration, Trump declared that executive orders would immediately be made to remove government {{w|diversity, equity, and inclusion}} (DEI) programs and that the use of gender for identification would be revoked and "it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female." The order revoked various rights for non-binary citizens, including the right to select the "X" option when asked for their gender for government identification documents, including {{w|passports}}; this right had been established by the [[Joe Biden]] administration. The order declares the following: "'Sex' is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of 'gender identity.' 'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell. 'Male' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell. 'Gender ideology' replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society regard this false claim as true. 'Gender identity' reflects a fully internal and subjective sense of self, disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an infinite continuum, that does not provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex." The {{w|US State Department}} website removed references to gender identity, including the option to choose a third gender, "X" on passport applications on January 20. Federal agencies have been ordered by Trump to "implement changes to require that government-issued identification documents, including passports, {{w|Travel visas|visas}}, and {{w|Global Entry}} cards, accurately reflect the holder's sex." They have also been ordered to "remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other messages. Agency forms that require an individual's sex shall list male or female, and shall not request gender identity. Agencies shall take all necessary steps, as permitted by law, to end the federal funding of gender ideology." Following the order, the {{w|Human Rights Campaign}}, a [[LGBT|lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer]] (LGBTQ) group said via its president, {{w|Kelley Robinson}}, the "targeting [of] the LGBTQ+ community serve[s] no other purpose than to hurt our families and our communities." "The incoming administration is trying to divide our communities in the hope that we forget what makes us strong [...] But we refuse to back down or be intimidated. We are not going anywhere. And we will fight back against these harmful provisions with everything we've got," Robinson declared. Trump said at the inauguration, "I will end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.

He replaced fellow Republican Kristi Noem, who resigned as governor following her confirmation by the [[United States Senate]] to serve as Secretary of the {{w|United States Department of Homeland Security}}, with Rhoden immediately succeeding her. A private ceremony took place in the Governor's Large Conference Room in {{w|Pierre, South Dakota}}. A larger, public ceremony is scheduled for February 8 at the State Capitol Rotunda. South Dakota Supreme Court Justice {{W|Steven R. Jensen|Steven Jensen}} officiated the ceremony, for which Rhoden's family was present. This made Larry Rhoden the 34th Governor of South Dakota. Rhoden swore his oath on two Bibles, one that had belonged to his mother and another that his father had carried during [[World War II]]. Rhoden has previously served as Lieutenant Governor of South Dakota under Noem. He was sworn in without first winning an election, which has happened only three times in the history of South Dakota. A large majority of the state's governors have won a gubernatorial election in South Dakota. According to {{W|KELO-TV|Keloland Media Group}} (KELO-TV), plans for the succession were reportedly in the works ever since President Trump announced his nomination of Noem. Rhoden has not yet announced whom he will nominate to fill the now-vacant post of Lieutenant Governor. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://sdpb.sd.gov/statehouse/press.asp|date=January 28, 2025 (date of access)|title=Statehouse: Press Briefings|pub=SDPB|author= |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250130161042/https://sdpb.sd.gov/statehouse/press.asp}} *{{source |url = https://eu.argusleader.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/27/larry-rhoden-sworn-in-as-34th-governor-of-south-dakota-kristi-noem/77972497007/ |title=Larry Rhoden sworn in as 34th governor in private ceremony |author=Dominik Dausch |pub=Argus Leader |date=January 27, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/2/https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/27/larry-rhoden-sworn-in-as-34th-governor-of-south-dakota-kristi-noem/77972497007/}} *{{source|url=https://www.sdpb.org/politics/2025-01-27/rhoden-sworn-in-as-south-dakota-governor|date=January 27, 2025 |title=Rhoden sworn in as South Dakota governor |pub=SDPB|author= Lee Strubinger |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250129201133/https://www.sdpb.org/politics/2025-01-27/rhoden-sworn-in-as-south-dakota-governor}} *{{source |url = https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/larry-rhoden-to-become-governor-of-south-dakota/ |title = Larry Rhoden succeeds to governor of South Dakota |author = Cale Engelkes, Bob Mercer |pub = Keloland Media Group |date = January 25, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250126135138/https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/larry-rhoden-to-become-governor-of-south-dakota/}} {{Archived}} [[Category:United States]] [[Category:South Dakota]] [[Category:US Department of Homeland Security]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}} 7t2weucn7srj8pbagkq8kol20gagrm0 102 3007689 4836737 4836638 2025-01-29T09:23:49Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[Comments:Trump removes X gender option on American passports]] to [[Comments:US President Trump orders government recognize male, female as only sexes]]: Automatically moving associated comments namespace page to new name, with [[user talk:Bawolff|JS assistance]] 4836638 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3007724 4836734 2025-01-29T09:23:44Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[Trump removes X gender option on American passports]] to [[US President Trump orders government recognize male, female as only sexes]]: Longstanding practice to provide presidents' titles for the international audience; the focus of this article is not apparently, just the effect on passport applications, but the EO itself. 4836734 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[US President Trump orders government recognize male, female as only sexes]] btdr8ooxi64nigvqg47tpfeyqkff4jv 102 3007726 4836738 2025-01-29T09:23:49Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[Comments:Trump removes X gender option on American passports]] to [[Comments:US President Trump orders government recognize male, female as only sexes]]: Automatically moving associated comments namespace page to new name, with [[user talk:Bawolff|JS assistance]] 4836738 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Comments:US President Trump orders government recognize male, female as only sexes]] q6s2edzogfjic9f90p13tya9d1f9wgb 14 3007758 4836928 4836846 2025-01-30T14:57:16Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Fix typo 4836928 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Topic cat |intro=(DHS), a federal agency responsible for safeguarding the nation against threats, including terrorism, unauthorized boarder crossings, and cybersecurity risks. |image=DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Flag Raising Ceremony (50914852532).jpg |imagecaption=DHS headquarters in [[Washington, DC]], 2021 {{image|[https://www.flickr.com/people/126057486@N04 U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)]}} |seal=Seal of the United States Department of Homeland Security.svg |offset = {{{offset|0}}} |portal=no |sisterprojects=yes |commons=United States Department of Homeland Security |wikidata= Q11231 |wikipedia=United States Department of Homeland Security }} [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Federal government of the United States]] 83wbh7np74r8gnz2ddwv9on2gca8m0s 4 3007771 4865383 4865194 2025-06-21T03:01:48Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 2 threads from [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts]] 4865383 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Replace redirect code at template:archive == I have made an edit request at the following: [[Template talk:Archived]] but the edit is needed at [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Archive&redirect=no Template:Archive], which is redirected to [[Template:Archived]].

As the article is edit-protected, an administrator will need to correct the issue. These problems were identified several days before the review and were even explicitly highlighted by the publishing reviewer [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_negotiations_between_US_and_Iran_commence_in_Muscat,_Oman&diff=prev&oldid=4850858]; however, neither the article's contributors nor the reviewer addressed them, and the copied content the reviewer highlighted was published. This is not an isolated case. I previously removed copied content from the published article "[[Explosion in Iran's largest port, Shahid Rajaee, heard 50 km away, leaves dozens killed, thousands injured]]" [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Explosion_in_Iran's_largest_port,_Shahid_Rajaee,_heard_50_km_away,_leaves_dozens_killed,_thousands_injured&diff=prev&oldid=4856526] before it too was edit-protected. This follows the explicit publication of plagiarized content in "[[Competitive local elections held in England]]." As noted at [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Reaffirming_Core_Policies:_Verification,_Copyright,_and_Neutrality_Over_Speed|Water cooler: Reaffirming Core Policies]], these actions violate core policies and undermine our credibility. All three articles were published by the same reviewer, who has stated they "do not verify everything in all instances" and that this "may or may not be problematic." [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20250511214200-Michael.C.Wright-20250511151000] It is now safe to say it is demonstrably problematic. The same reviewer has also recently posted to [[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]] asking, "What is acceptable copyvio % for article to be legally accepted as CC licence which is used at Wikinews?" [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance#c-Gryllida-20250503133500-Copyvio], which reflects either a concerning lack of understanding of, or a disregard for core reviewer responsibilities and long-standing Wikinews policies, guidelines, and norms. Plagiarism is an existential threat to our legitimacy as a news project. If we do not address this clearly and decisively, we risk further erosion of trust from contributors, readers, and the Wikimedia movement at large. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 21:39, 12 May 2025 (UTC) :Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] :1. I am looking at [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikinews&title=Nuclear_negotiations_between_US_and_Iran_commence_in_Muscat,_Oman&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0 the copyvio report] with a confused face. Several quotes, and the "''Araghchi had said ahead of the discussions that his country wanted a "fair agreement". said his country is not seeking war, nor a nuclear bomb. Representatives of both countries described the meeting as "constructive" and confirmed a second round of discussions will take place next week''" part, are flagged as plagiarism. I can either remove these two sentences completely, or reword them, and add a correction. I chose the "reword and add a correction". You're now welcome to sight the edit. :2. I identified these issues and asked another contributor to fix them. I would appreciate if you figured out who that contributor was, and left them a message at their talk page. (This does not diminish responsibility of reviewer to be vigilant, but it is an important additional action I am suggesting.) I think it would be appropriate given that you are highly concerned about the outcome, that not only the reviewer, but also the user also knows. :3. No further action required. :4. No further action required. :5. No further action required (short of aiming to avoid it in future). I'm noting that the review was done two days before I added earwig copyvio checker to the 'review' and 'developing' templates. While in 'developing' template this works consistently and the link shows, I find that in the 'review' template the link is missing half of the time. This means that, to review, I click 'edit', change 'review' to 'develop', click 'Publish changes', click 'Show Preview' (please, find that person who made it two clicks to Preview instead of one, and ask them to be sentences to clicking two clicks instead of one click for every click remaining in their life - this is a disastrous UI decision), click the earwig link, close the 'save edit' dialog, press Esc, confirm i wanna discard the edit, and then proceed to read the copyvio report in new tab. At least the link should show in the 'review' template every time consistently, not half of the time. It would be nice to get that fixed. The link helps me a lot and would help even more if it worked. [Not that I am avoiding using it if it's missing, now, but reducing this pain would be nice.] :6. Discussion caused result 'reword and quote brightest part of the quote, not whole thing'. I have put it in my notes for what to request for requested revisions. No further action required from there currently, other than fixing the technical issue from item 5, as it makes it harder to provide such feedback. Still it is much better than on April 21 and earlier, when the copyvio checker link wasn't there! :7. That's not an actionable sentence, no action required. :Please let me know if there is anything else remaining in the to-do.

Delegating the cleanup of problems introduced by an incomplete review, especially when all changes to a published article must still be sighted by a reviewer or admin, doesn’t resolve the issue; it ''multiplies the work''. Unprotecting archived articles and asking others to fix them simply spreads the consequences of a poor review wider, rather than preventing them in the first place. If we want to reduce workload, the most effective step is to ensure full and proper reviews before publication. The amount of time spent on this has already become disruptive to the project. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 14:01, 5 June 2025 (UTC) == User:Italian vanda!ism only == User:Italian vanda!ism only needs blocking.

Both the passenger plane and the helicopter crashed into the {{w|Potomac River}}, located just outside the U.S. capital, [[Washington D.C.]] Officials said there were no survivors. The CRJ700, originating from {{w|Wichita, Kansas|Wichita}}, [[Kansas]], and carrying 64 individuals, was on approach to Reagan National Airport when it collided with the {{w|military helicopter}}. Both aircraft immediately descended into the Potomac River. Emergency response teams, including fireboats, from the surrounding areas were promptly dispatched to the scene to conduct rescue operations. The wreckage of both the plane and helicopter were found in the river. The incident was captured on airport security camera footage. Witnesses recounted seeing "streams of sparks" and that something looked "very, very wrong." Another witness recounted seeing a "white flare." The [[Federal Aviation Administration]] (FAA) and the [[National Transportation Safety Board]] (NTSB) initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the collision. The FAA also reported that Reagan National Airport would be closed until 5:00 a.m. EST (1000 UTC) on January 30, as a result of the accident. U.S. President {{w|Donald Trump}} was briefed on the accident and issued a statement: "May God Bless their souls. [...] Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders." He later declared on his own app, {{w|Truth Social}}, "This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!" U.S. Vice President {{w|JD Vance}} also addressed the incident, saying in a social media post, "Please say a prayer for everyone involved in the mid-air collision near Reagan airport this evening. We’re monitoring the situation, but for now let’s hope for the best." Transportation Secretary {{w|Sean Duffy}} stated that his department was assessing the situation.

Authorities later identified the victim as 38-year-old [[Iraq]]i refugee {{w|Salwan Momika}}, who had been living in Sweden. Momika's death remained under investigation. Stockholm police issued a statement saying five people were apprehended in connection to the shooting. In addition, Swedish Prime Minister {{w|Ulf Kristersson}} stated that Sweden's security services provided support for the investigation because of "a risk that there were links to foreign powers." Tensions flared after Momika's burning of a {{w|Quran}} in 2023 in front of the {{w|Stockholm Mosque}} as a form of protest, according to the [[BBC]]. This occurred on what is considered to be a holy day in [[Islam]]ic culture. The BBC reported that Momika had been charged with "agitation against an ethnic group" on four separate occasions in 2023. The Swedish government gave him permission to peacefully protest as he was in compliance with the country's free speech laws. The government later committed to seeking legal avenues to prohibit demonstrations that include burning texts under specific conditions. Momika was killed just hours before a court was to deliver a verdict on the case. He was scheduled to appear in court to receive the verdict on January 30. Local media told the news source {{w|Reuters}} that Momika was live-streaming on {{w|TikTok}} at the time of the shooting. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpdx2wqpg7zo |title = Man who burned Quran 'shot dead in Sweden' |author = Maia Davies, Danny Aeberhard |pub = BBC News Online |date = January 30, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/salwan-momika-man-who-burned-quran-in-2023-shot-dead-in-sweden/articleshow/117742526.cms |title = Salwan Momika, man who burned Quran in 2023, shot dead in Sweden |author = |pub = The Economic Times |date = January 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived}} [[Category:Sweden]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Religion]] [[Category:Stockholm]] [[Category:Iraq]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Islam]] [[Category:Refugees]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] tran3ui2u7k9knp1mn74n7geau0qxoy 0 3007816 4838693 4838126 2025-02-06T02:32:56Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Salwan Momika shot in Sweden apartment, dies at hospital]] to [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]] 4838693 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]] kmzdayym18t6hsdsk7e5w0htzncyn6g 0 3007817 4838694 4838127 2025-02-06T02:33:01Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Salwan Momika shot in Sweden apartment, dies at hospital]] to [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]] 4838694 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]] kmzdayym18t6hsdsk7e5w0htzncyn6g 0 3007821 4838695 4838128 2025-02-06T02:33:06Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Salwan Momika shot in Sweden apartment, dies at hospital]] to [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]] 4838695 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]] kmzdayym18t6hsdsk7e5w0htzncyn6g 14 3007823 4837158 4837156 2025-01-30T19:38:19Z BigKrow 2871522 4837158 wikitext text/x-wiki This category is for news items about Boise, Idaho [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Oregon_running_back_LeGarrette_Blount%27s_college_football_career_ends_with_a_punch] [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/French_fry_%27king%27_J._R._Simplot_dies_at_age_99] [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Sen._Larry_Craig_claims_innocent_of_lewd_conduct] 41tew4obvc51yaenixjluf2ibvxjjwl 14 3007824 4837153 2025-01-30T19:36:24Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [[Category:Boise]] to [[Category:Boise, Idaho]] 4837153 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[:Category:Boise, Idaho]] 0a08z2itv6re42bvjhskvol5cvczg53 8 3007842 4837223 2025-01-30T23:56:54Z Maintenance script 2036980 Migrating server configuration to an on-wiki JSON file ([[phab:T374348]]) 4837223 json application/json { "$version": "1.0.0", "BabelAutoCreate": true, "BabelCategoryNames": { "0": "", "1": "User %code%-1", "2": "User %code%-2", "3": "User %code%-3", "4": "User %code%-4", "5": "", "N": "User %code%-N" }, "BabelMainCategory": "User %code%", "BabelUseUserLanguage": false } c3v4wwzs7a41dy0lmtuxwxb8h1znx8n 4 3007844 4837252 2025-01-31T03:01:22Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 2 threads from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]] 4837252 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Does correction involve a correction == Hi.

On February 1, it was officially opened. The construction contract was awarded to {{w|Afcons Infrastructure}} in October 2021, funded through a line of credit from the {{w|Exim Bank of India}}, and finished sometime in mid-2024.

accidents}} {{date|February 5, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:2025_Philadelphia_Learjet_55_crash.png|thumb|left|A CCTV still of a fireball rising from the crash site {{image source|CCTV footage}}]] On Friday evening, a small air ambulance crashed into a residential and commercial area in a densely populated neighborhood of {{w|Philadelphia}}, {{w|Pennsylvania}}, {{w|United States}}, killing everyone on board. The plane took off from {{w|Northeast Philadelphia Airport}}, rapidly lost altitude, and crashed into buildings below. As of February 2, officials confirmed six fatalities onboard the jet and at least one on the ground, warning the death toll could rise in the coming days. [[File:Jet_Rescue_air_ambulance_XA-UCI_LJ55_YVR.jpg|thumb|left|XA-UCI, the aircraft involved in the accident, photographed in December 2024 {{image source|King Hui}}]] The {{w|Learjet 55}}, which was heading {{w|Springfield, Missouri}} for a brief stopover before ultimately heading to to {{w|Tijuana, Mexico}}, was transporting a pediatric patient and her mother. CBS, citing a spokesman for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, identified the patient as Valentina Guzman Murillo, a Mexican citizen who had recently completed treatment for an unspecified illness at {{w|Shriners Children's Hospital}}. Murillo had been receiving treatment in Philadelphia for four months prior due to difficulties finding care in her home country. The staff of the hospital said that they had thrown her a party earlier in the day prior to her departure from the hospital. “Her journey was one of hope and of aspiration. [...] It’s always a meaningful but yet emotional time for us. It’s really just been compounded by the tragic ending,” hospital spokesperson Mel Bower said. Other casualties on the plane included medical personnel such as a doctor and a paramedic, as well as the plane's two pilots. All onboard were Mexican citizens. According to city officials, the plane remained airborne for only a minute before losing altitude and crashing. The plane had reached an altitude of 1,500 feet before sharply declining. The crash site was approximately four miles away from the airport from which the plane had taken off, and was located in a mixed-use neighborhood containing both businesses and residences. The plane did not report issues to air traffic control. Air traffic control lost contact with the aircraft shortly after takeoff, and officials were quoted saying, “We have a lost aircraft. We’re not exactly sure what happened, so we’re trying to figure it out. For now the field is going to be closed.” The plane was said to have been left "highly fragmented" from what was described as a "high-impact crash" by [[National Transportation Safety Board]] (NTSB) chair {{w|Jennifer Homendy}}. [[File:Northeast_Philadelphia_Airport,_Pennsylvania_(7235311028).jpg|thumb|left|They left from Northeast Philadelphia Airport {{image source|Ken Lund}}]] Philadelphia's managing director, {{w|Adam Thiel}}, stated that the disaster area covered as much as six city blocks. City officials reported that several properties sustained what they described as "significant damage." Due to safety concerns, residents were advised to avoid the accident zone, and Mayor Cherelle Parker urged anyone who found aircraft debris to call 911 and "don't touch anything." Thiel also cautioned that debris may be scattered far from the crash site, stating, "It's possible that if you are somewhere not even near here, somewhere between this location and Northeast Airport, you may go out and find something in your yard." At a press conference, he emphasized the ongoing nature of the investigation, saying, "This is still a very active and fluid situation [...] It will likely be days or more until we are able to definitively answer the question about the number of folks who perished in this tragedy and the outcome for those who are injured." The cause of the crash remained unknown, and the {{w|Federal Aviation Administration}} and the NTSB were brought to the fore of the investigation. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy said that they were collecting debris from the jet, which was described as "scattered," and said the process could take days or weeks. Mayor Parker later said they were "poring over every bit of material that has been available." The NTSB told {{w|CBS}} that by Sunday evening, the plane's engines and black box had been recovered from the wreckage. The NTSB also said that it had collected the plane's ground proximity warning system, and that it will be sent it to a lab in Washington, D.C. along with the black box for evaluation. The explosion was captured on doorbell security footage from nearby properties, some of which lost power following the crash. Witnesses described the impact to local media as a "massive fireball" that briefly "lit up the whole sky." Some compared the blast to an earthquake, while others initially thought it was a thunderstorm or a gas station explosion. A patron in a nearby restaurant sustained injuries after being struck by a "heavy metal object" that flew through a window. Another witness recalled hearing a "whirring noise" just before the explosion. [[File:A closer view of the Philadelphia Plane Crash 1-31-25.webm|thumb|left|[[w:Ring (company)|Ring doorbell]] footage of Flight 056 crashing {{image source|thenamelessone888}}]] US President {{w|Donald Trump}} said, "So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More innocent souls lost." Pennsylvania state representative {{w|Jared_Solomon_(Pennsylvania_politician)|Jared Solomon}} was quoted saying "In a time of profound tragedy, I was inspired to witness hundreds of our first responders sprinting towards danger to ensure the safety of our neighborhood." Mexican President {{w|Claudia Sheinbaum}} gave her condolences on {{w|X}}, saying “Consular authorities are in constant contact with the families; I have asked the Foreign Affairs Secretary to support whatever is needed. My solidarity with their loved ones and friends." The crash came just days after another aviation disaster in the northeastern United States, where a passenger airplane collided mid-air with a military helicopter over the {{w|Potomac River}} near {{w|Washington, D.C.}}, killing 67 people. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|Passenger plane collides with military helicopter near Washington, D.C.|January 31, 2025}} == Sister links ==

It returns <code>"true"</code> if any of these templates are present in the page's wikitext, and <code>"false"</code> otherwise. Standard ''Winiknews'' conventions dictate that articles proceed from being a draft to a published article using the following templates, typically in sequence: {{tl|develop}} → {{tl|review}} → {{tl|tasks}} (if necessary for improvements) → {{tl|published}}. Therefore, if an article contains {{tl|develop}}, {{tl|review}}, or {{tl|tasks}}, it is assumed to be a draft. == Usage == This module is typically invoked within a template to conditionally display content based on whether the page includes <code>{{tl|develop}}</code>, <code>{{tl|review}}</code>, or <code>{{tl|tasks}}</code>. === Basic Usage in a Template === <pre> {{#invoke:DetectDraft|detectTemplates}} </pre> * Returns <code>"true"</code> if the page contains <code>{{tl|develop}}</code>, <code>{{tl|review}}</code>, or <code>{{tl|tasks}}</code>. * Returns <code>"false"</code> if none of these templates are present. === Conditional Display Example === This example changes output based on the result from the module: <pre> {{#switch: {{#invoke:DetectDraft|detectTemplates}} | true = <span style="color:green;">This page is under development, review, or has assigned tasks.</span> | false = <span style="color:red;">This page is not under development, review, and has no assigned tasks.</span> | #default = <span style="color:gray;">Unable to determine page status.</span> }} </pre> == How It Works == # The module retrieves the wikitext of the current page. # It checks if <code>{{tl|develop}}</code>, <code>{{tl|review}}</code>, or <code>{{tl|tasks}}</code> appears in the wikitext (case insensitive). # If any of these templates are found, the module returns <code>"true"</code>. # If none of these templates are found, it returns <code>"false"</code>. == Limitations == * The module only checks the raw wikitext of the page. If the <code>{{tl|develop}}</code>, <code>{{tl|review}}</code>, or <code>{{tl|tasks}}</code> template is transcluded via another template, it may not be detected. * The module does not check for specific parameters within the <code>{{tl|tasks}}</code> template. It only verifies whether the template is present. <includeonly> <!-- CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS HERE, THANKS --> </includeonly> 5i3j7qtyzxwbgxyh22950dcsm6uc3wr 0 3008094 4838305 4837937 2025-02-04T00:06:33Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Air ambulance crashes into infrastructure in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania while transporting child patient, no survivors]] to [[Air ambulance crashes into infrastructure in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania while transporting pediatric patient, no survivors]] 4838305 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Air ambulance crashes into infrastructure in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania while transporting pediatric patient, no survivors]] tr4r62a5jzuodnuenlsmbswdra9ieit 0 3008096 4860028 4860027 2025-05-25T16:30:29Z BigKrow 2871522 Undo revision [[Special:Diff/4860002|4860002]] by [[Special:Contributions/Imbackjjj|Imbackjjj]] ([[User talk:Imbackjjj|talk]]) 4860028 wikitext text/x-wiki {{space}} {{date|February 14, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:2024_YR4_ESO-VLT.gif|thumb|left|2024 YR4 (center) tracked by the Very Large Telescope in January 2025 {{image source|ESO/O. Hainaut et al.}}]] On February 7, NASA and the European Space Agency said that they estimated that the chances of the asteroid {{w|2024 YR4}} striking earth on December 22, 2032 had nearly doubled to 2.2%, up from 1.2% as estimated by the {{w|International Asteroid Warning Network}} (IAWN). This estimation was said to "[work] out to approximately a one-in-45 chance of direct impact, which also means a 44-in-45 chance of a miss" according to {{w|NJ.com}}. Astronomers estimated that the {{w|asteroid}} is the size of a football field and noted that an asteroid of that size could equal the force of a [[nuclear bomb]] if it struck Earth. The asteroid was given a level 3 out of 10 rating on the {{w|Torino Impact Hazard Scale}}, which is regarded as "a close encounter that warrants attention from astronomers and the public." Paul Chodas, the director of the {{w|Center for Near-Earth Object Studies}} said, "[the likelihood of impact] could fall to zero almost any day now [...] but we don't know that." He also said scientists are running out of time to observe the asteroid, and that they would not be able to study it again until 2028. The [[European Space Agency]] (ESA) said that although it is overwhelmingly likely the asteroid will safely pass the planet by without incident, an impact "cannot yet be entirely ruled out." The agency said further, "It is possible that asteroid 2024 YR4 will fade from view before we are able to entirely rule out any chance of impact in 2032. In this case, the asteroid will likely remain on ESA's risk list until it becomes observable again in 2028." [[File:2024_YR4_risk_corridor.png|thumb|left|Estimated impact risk corridor for the 2032 approach {{image source|Daniel Bamberger (Renerpho)}}]]Dr. Robert Massey of the {{w|Royal Astronomical Society}} said "[I am] not panicking or losing sleep over it. [...] The thing about this kind of event is that historically, they tend to go away when the calculations are refined. We need to be aware and alert, and we need to give astronomers the resources they need to track these kinds of threats so that we can take action as soon as possible." IAWN's notification stated that if the asteroid were to impact earth, it would most likely strike in the ocean. In 2004, astronomers estimated that another asteroid, named {{w|99942 Apophis}} had a 2.7% chance of striking Earth in 2029, but further observations ruled out this possibility. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.nj.com/news/2025/02/chances-of-a-big-asteroid-strike-on-earth-just-doubled-heres-why-you-shouldnt-be-too-worried.html|title=Chances of a big asteroid strike on Earth just doubled.

Trump froze federal hiring shortly after taking office, exacerbating an existing personnel shortage at the FAA. Not directly relatedly but not helpfully either, Space Karen forced out the FAA administrator over prior disputes about space junk. (When I first heard about the crash, it reminded me of Air Florida Flight 90, a similar crash into the Potomac in freezing conditions; that one occurred on the same day in 1982 that two Metro trains collided, diverting resources). hbeaq6idzx7f0ai4bqir60fjmk5zam9 0 3008115 4841101 4841100 2025-02-23T20:37:45Z Cromium 7186 Protected "[[Shark fatally bites 17-year-old off Bribie Island]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4841100 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|February 7, 2025}} {{Australia}} Charlize Zmuda, a 17-year-old girl who was swimming off Woorim Beach, a beach on {{w|Bribie Island}}, was bitten by a shark around 4:45 p.m. AEST (0645 UTC) on Monday. Despite attempts at rescuing her, she succumbed to her injuries at 5:00 p.m. AEST (0700 UTC) according to police. When the attack occurred, {{w|Surf Life Saving Queensland}} officers were present at Woorim Beach, and helped paramedics. A report has been set up for the coroner by police. The attack follows two other shark attacks in the Australian state of [[Queensland]] which occurred fewer than three months ago, one of which was also fatal. A day after the fatal attack, Zmuda's father spoke out about the attack. "When I got the tragic news yesterday, I was extremely gutted, but something that my wife and I want to say is we don't want people to stop coming to the beach and enjoying our beach. It's a big part of our lives," Mr. Zmuda said. On the same day, flowers were placed throughout Woorim Beach, and green balloons were released into the air to commemorate Zmuda. {{HYS}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-04/queensland-shark-attack-tribute-charlize-zmuda-bribie-island/104893548 |title=Bribie Island community mourns 17-year-old shark attack victim Charlize Zmuda |author=Molly Slattery, Arianna Levy |pub=ABC News |date=February 4, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250204094836/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-04/queensland-shark-attack-tribute-charlize-zmuda-bribie-island/104893548 }} *{{source |url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/feb/03/girl-dies-after-being-bitten-by-shark-off-south--ast-queensland-police-confirm |title=Teenager dies after being bitten by shark off south-east Queensland, police confirm |author=Daisy Dumas |pub=The Guardian |date=February 3, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250203225525/https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/feb/03/girl-dies-after-being-bitten-by-shark-off-south--ast-queensland-police-confirm }} *{{source |url=https://www.9news.com.au/national/bribie-island-teen-dead-after-suspected-shark-attack-in-queensland/34e37b8a-5513-47b3-8b6c-911b577002ba |title=Teenage girl dead after shark attack at Queensland's Bribie Island |author=Josh Hohne |pub=Nine News |date=February 3, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250203094221/https://www.9news.com.au/national/bribie-island-teen-dead-after-suspected-shark-attack-in-queensland/34e37b8a-5513-47b3-8b6c-911b577002ba }} {{Publish}} {{Archived}} [[Category:Queensland]] [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Sharks]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] l9m9ha7v7hw2ssthputrmfryo5d8n4q 102 3008144 4839483 4838168 2025-02-11T13:13:10Z Leaderboard 932513 not seeing this one?

Records}}]] On Wednesday, it was announced that the UK {{w|heavy metal music}} act {{w|Black Sabbath}} was scheduled to play a final show with the band's original lineup, which consisted of lead vocalist [[Ozzy Osbourne]], guitarist {{w|Tony Iommi}}, bassist {{w|Geezer Butler}}, and drummer {{w|Bill Ward (musician)|Bill Ward}}. The performance, dubbed “The Back to the Beginning” show, was slated for July 5, 2025 at {{w|Villa Park}} in the band's hometown of [[Birmingham|Birmingham, England]]. {{w|Rage Against the Machine}} guitarist {{w|Tom Morello}} was slated to serve as the event's musical director. It will be the band's first performance with the original lineup in 20 years. Original drummer Bill Ward departed the group in 2012 due to disputes regarding contracts. The band's final studio album ''13'' was recorded without him, and he was absent from the band's 81-date farewell tour in 2017 as well. Rage Against the Machine drummer {{w|Brad Wilk}} and Osbourne's backing band drummer {{w|Tommy Clufetos}} substituted Ward's percussion duties on the album and on the tour, respectively. Although the band's final show in 2017 was played to a sold-out crowd, the band had expressed their desire to do a "proper" farewell show that would include Ward. The event's full lineup includes heavy metal acts such as {{w|Metallica}}, {{w|Slayer}}, {{w|Pantera}} and others. According to BBC News Online, the performance was also said to feature a "supergroup" comprised of Morello, {{w|Smashing Pumpkins}} frontman {{w|Billy Corgan}}, {{w|Guns N' Roses}} guitarist {{w|Slash (musician)|Slash}}, {{w|Limp Bizkit}} frontman {{w|Fred Durst}}, and {{w| Wolfgang Van Halen}}. Sharon Osbourne said they would be performing covers of songs from Black Sabbath and Osbourne's back catalogue. Tom Morello, the event's musical director, called it the "greatest heavy metal show ever." Tony Iommi said, "It’s been an incredible journey, but it’s only fitting that it ends here, where it all began in Aston. [...] None of this would’ve been possible without Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill. What we created together was bigger than any one of us, and I’ll always be grateful for that." According to Geezer Butler, "It'll be the first time the Black Sabbath played has played in Aston since we used to live there. And where we wrote most of our first album — places like Aston Community Center and Burlington Hall down High Street. [...] So it's a return home for us when it all started and it will be a very special occasion for us all." 76-year-old Osbourne was diagnosed with {{w|Parkinson's disease}} in 2020 and stopped touring in 2023. Osborne said he planned to open with a solo set "before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow." He said, "Time for me to give back to the place where I was born. [...] How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever." All proceeds from the show were said to be donated to the charities Cure Parkinson’s, {{w|Birmingham Children's Hospital}}, and {{w|Acorns Children's Hospice}}. According to his wife, Sharon Osbourne, "[Ozzy's] doing really great. He’s so excited about this, about being with the guys again and all his friends. It's exciting for everyone. Ozzy didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans." She indicated that Osbourne felt there hadn’t been proper closure. "This is his full stop." Osbourne himself said, "I'm not going to get up there and do a half-hearted Ozzy looking for sympathy. What's the [expletive] point in that? I'm not going up there in a [expletive] wheelchair." Black Sabbath formed in 1968 in Birmingham, and released their {{w|Black Sabbath (album)|self-titled debut album}} in 1970. Their worldwide album sales exceeded 75 million copies. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|Back to the Beginning}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://metalinjection.net/tour-dates/black-sabbath-announces-one-final-show-with-their-original-lineup-along-with-metallica-pantera-slayer-more |title = BLACK SABBATH Announces One Final Show With Their Original Lineup Along With METALLICA, PANTERA, SLAYER & More |author = Greg Kennelty |pub = Metal Injection |date = Feburary 5, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://loudwire.com/geezer-butler-first-statement-black-sabbath-2025-reunion-show/?utm_source=tsmclip&utm_medium=referral |title = Geezer Butler’s First Statement About Black Sabbath’s Reunion |author = Chad Childers |pub = Loudwire |date = Feburary 5, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/black-sabbath-heavy-metal-ozzy-osbourne-birmingham-e46239b93d954e5d464d44554d6cff64 |title = Ozzy Osbourne to reunite with Black Sabbath bandmates in Birmingham for ‘greatest’ show ever |author = Pan Pylas |pub = AP News |date = Feburary 5, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://pitchfork.com/news/black-sabbath-to-reunite-for-ozzy-osbournes-all-star-final-show/ |title = Black Sabbath to Reunite for Ozzy Osbourne’s All-Star Final Show |author = Jazz Monroe |pub = Pitchfork |date = Feburary 5, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c805m3l02v5o |title=Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath announce final show |author=Mark Savage |pub=BBC |date=Feburary 5, 2024 |achiveurl= }} {{Publish}} {{Archived}} [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Health]] [[Category:Birmingham]] [[Category:England]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Great Britain]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Ozzy Osbourne]] h9ofmp3lqn5nj1a0rzeqgmdplwcyu41 0 3008300 4838604 2025-02-05T22:01:53Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[UK heavy metal band Black Sabbath announces performance with original lineup]] to [[UK heavy metal band Black Sabbath announces final performance with original lineup]] 4838604 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[UK heavy metal band Black Sabbath announces final performance with original lineup]] 9zgzm8t8ym7sq5q8pqhxxvhtmpxbm72 102 3008301 4838641 2025-02-05T22:32:29Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4838641 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3008308 4838687 2025-02-06T02:29:24Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[Salwan Momika shot in Sweden apartment, dies at hospital]] to [[Quran-burning refugee Salwan Momika fatally shot in Sweden apartment]]: There's a critical distinction between death and pronoucement of death.

Abdulla called out the names of the protesters and asked them to leave the chambers. Security escorted out those who refused to leave voluntarily. Protests also occurred outside the building of the People's Majlis, with participants including former cabinet ministers and lawmakers. The MDP's parliamentary group leader, Ibrahim Nazil, stated that the Speaker's decision to eject the protesting MPs from the session contradicted parliamentary regulations. In his speech, Muizzu emphasized protecting the {{w|Independence of the Maldives|independence of the Maldives}} and supporting statehood for the {{w|Palestinians|Palestinian people}}.

Use the following syntax: <code><nowiki>{{subst:#invoke:ConvertTime|convert|time=1:45 p.m.|timezone=CDT}}</nowiki></code> When substituted, the output will be: <blockquote>1:45 p.m. CDT (1845 UTC)</blockquote> === Parameters === * <code>time</code> — The time to convert. This can be in 12-hour or 24-hour format (e.g., <code>1:45 p.m.</code> or <code>13:45</code>). * <code>timezone</code> — The timezone of the provided time. This should be an ISO 8601 timezone abbreviation (e.g., <code>CDT</code>, <code>CET</code>, <code>AEST</code>) or a UTC offset (e.g., <code>UTC+3</code>). === Timezone Handling === The module includes a table of common timezones: * North America: <code>EST</code>, <code>EDT</code>, <code>CST</code>, <code>CDT</code>, <code>MST</code>, <code>MDT</code>, <code>PST</code>, <code>PDT</code> * Europe: <code>CET</code>, <code>CEST</code>, <code>BST</code>, <code>EET</code>, <code>EEST</code> * Oceania: <code>AEST</code>, <code>AEDT</code>, <code>ACST</code>, <code>AWST</code> * Asia: <code>IST</code>, <code>CST</code> (China), <code>JST</code>, <code>KST</code> * Africa: <code>SAST</code>, <code>EAT</code>, <code>WAT</code> If the template does not recognize the provided timezone, please use the UTC offset format instead (e.g., <code>UTC+3</code>). To have additional timezones added, please make a request on the [[Template_talk:ConvertTime|template talk page]]. === Error Handling === If an unrecognized timezone is entered, the template will display a red warning message. For unknown time conversions, it will show <code>???? UTC</code> in place of the UTC time. === Example === <code><nowiki>{{subst:#invoke:ConvertTime|convert|time=10:30 a.m.|timezone=AEST}}</nowiki></code> Output: 10:30 a.m. AEST (0030 UTC) <code><nowiki>{{subst:#invoke:ConvertTime|convert|time=10:30 a.m.|timezone=UTC+10}}</nowiki></code> Output: 10:30 a.m. local time (0030 UTC) djuujqd3agvnzswfibtnbugq2tlehxl 828 3008356 4838986 4838815 2025-02-07T18:58:50Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 /* Example */ now outputs timezone 4838986 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Documentation subpage}} {{possible-risk}} = Module:ConvertTime Documentation = '''Module:ConvertTime''' is a Lua module designed for use on Wikinews to convert times from a specified timezone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and format the output according to the Wikinews Style Guide. == Function == This module provides a single function: * <code>convert</code> — Converts the provided time to UTC and formats the output. == Usage == This module is typically invoked through the {{tl|ConvertTime}} template, but can also be called directly using: <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:ConvertTime|convert|time=1:45 p.m.|timezone=CDT}}</nowiki></code> For proper formatting and to avoid dynamic template calls, this should be substituted: <code><nowiki>{{subst:#invoke:ConvertTime|convert|time=1:45 p.m.|timezone=CDT}}</nowiki></code> == Parameters == * <code>time</code> — The time to convert.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/03|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and a timeline. '''Updates for editors''' * On wikis with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:PageAssessments|PageAssessments]] installed, you can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:PageAssessments#Search|filter search results]] to pages in a given WikiProject by using the <code dir=ltr>inproject:</code> keyword.

For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382592] '''Updates for technical contributors''' * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting [[phab:T374683|some page content endpoints]] from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the [[phab:project/view/6931/|MediaWiki Interfaces Team]] in Phabricator if they arise. * Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. [[wikitech:Wikimedia Cloud Services team/EnhancementProposals/Toolforge UI|Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI]]. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user|OAuth 1]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user 2|OAuth 2]] returned a JSON object with an integer in its <code>sub</code> field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382139] * Many wikis currently use [[:mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification/Cite CSS|Cite CSS]] to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to ''not'' clean up your <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]</bdi> until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370027] '''Meetings and events''' * The next meeting in the series of [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:WMF support for Commons/Commons community calls|Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community]] will take place on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Commons community discussion - 15 January 2025 08:00 UTC|January 15 at 8:00 UTC]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Commons community discussion - 15 January 2025 16:00 UTC|at 16:00 UTC]].

'''Updates for editors''' * Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Extension:Nuke]]. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address.

Some editors that use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:New filters for edit review/Filtering|filters]] on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings.

For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been [[phab:T383497|fixed]]. '''Updates for technical contributors''' * The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues.

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product & Technology OKRs|13 other questions]] to shape the technical direction for next year. '''Updates for editors''' * iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review/How your data is used|personalized Year in Review]] feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content. * [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in [[{{#special:RecentChanges}}]] and [[{{#special:NewPages}}]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56145] * Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirects#Double redirects|double redirect]]). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326056] * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia wikis allow [[w:en:WebAuthn|WebAuthn]]-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Fix security key (WebAuthn) support|fragile]] and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of [[mw:MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3]] (single user login version 3).

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * For developers that use the [[wikitech:Data Platform/Data Lake/Edits/MediaWiki history dumps|MediaWiki History dumps]]: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>mediawiki_user_history</code></bdi> dump, the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>anonymous</code></bdi> field will be renamed to <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>is_anonymous</code></bdi>.

When a user hovers over the text, the tooltip displays additional information, providing context or explanations without cluttering the page. == Usage == <pre> {{tooltip|Text to display|Tooltip message}} </pre> == Parameters == * ''Text to display'' (required): The text that will be visible on the page. * ''Tooltip message'' (required): The message that appears when the user hovers over the text. == Example == <pre> {{tooltip|Click here|This is a tooltip message.}} </pre> '''Result:''' <span style="cursor:help; border-bottom:1px dotted;" title="This is a tooltip message.">Click here</span> == Notes == * The tooltip appears when hovering over the text. * The text has a dotted underline (`border-bottom:1px dotted;`) to indicate that it has additional information. * The `nowiki` tag inside the template ensures that any wiki markup in the tooltip message is not parsed. nyubd9yccvlm7qsuyuha94ryt8ta3pj 4 3008863 4865109 4863523 2025-06-19T21:17:24Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Update may numbers 4865109 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Template:2025 boost navbox}} In January 2025 it was proposed[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Project_proposal_for_2025] that en.WN coordinate efforts to revitalize ''Wikinews'' by boosting our publication rate. A vote[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Votes] was used to guide discussion and gauge consensus, not to define it. The overall goal of this project is to increase our publication rate as defined by the average number of articles published each month. As previously mentioned, there will be no single fix. This project will be a collection of projects that the community undertakes. This page and its subpages will serve as organization and collaboration tools. This is an early draft that will be developed and expanded. {| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto" |+ Monthly publication rate and number of days with zero articles published |- ! Month and year !!

Officers arrived at the scene and confronted the gunman as he attempted to leave with a hostage, opening fire. Before being shot dead, he fatally wounded backup officer Andrew Duarte, 30, of the {{w|West York Borough}} Police Department, and injured five others, including two police officers, a nurse, a doctor, and a custodian. A hospital staff member was also hurt while attempting to flee. Authorities reported the gunman was armed with a pistol and zip ties. According to Lester Mendoza, a physician assistant at UPMC Memorial Hospital, the gunman had visited the ICU the previous week when a family member was dying. One of the sources, Campus Safety Magazine, reported three police officers having been injured by the gunman. Other sources, including Associated Press, Pioneer Press, and WTAE-TV, reported only two police officers having been injured by the gunman. UPMC Memorial Hospital released a statement thanking law enforcement, saying, "This is a fluid situation. Law enforcement is on premises and is managing the situation. We are grateful to all the local law enforcement agencies for their quick response." {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|UPMC Memorial Hospital shooting}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.twincities.com/2025/02/24/hospital-violence-pennsylvania-hostage-taking/ |title=Pennsylvania hostage-taking and shootout highlight rising violence against US hospital workers |author=Mead Gruver, AP |pub=Pioneer Press |date=February 24, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250226175841/https://www.twincities.com/2025/02/24/hospital-violence-pennsylvania-hostage-taking/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/news/6-injured-2-dead-in-pennsylvania-hospital-shooting/167797/ |title=6 Injured, 2 Dead in Pennsylvania Hospital Shooting |author=Robin Hattersley |pub=Campus Safety |date=February 24, 2025 |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20250226180158/https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/news/6-injured-2-dead-in-pennsylvania-hospital-shooting/167797/ }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/york-pennsylvania-hospital-shooting-gunman-dead-270382b4e7bb1c48e78b50247c722df4# |title = Officer killed by a shooter who took hostages at a central Pennsylvania hospital, officials say |author = Mark Scolforo |pub = Associated Press |date = February 22, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250222215728/https://apnews.com/article/york-pennsylvania-hospital-shooting-gunman-dead-270382b4e7bb1c48e78b50247c722df4 }} *{{source |url = https://www.wtae.com/article/gov-shapiro-active-shooter-situation-pennsylvania-hospital/63881462 |title = Gov.

Initially discovered in December 2024, the asteroid was estimated to have a 2.3% chance of collision on December 22, 2032. However, as of February 24, 2025, NASA has updated its assessment, indicating on the Planetary Defense blog that "there is no significant potential for this asteroid to impact our planet for the next century." [[File:Tunguska Ereignis.jpg|thumb|left|alt=photo of fallen trees in Eastern Russia 1908|A photo of the aftermath of the 1908 Tunguska event, where an atmospheric explosion flattened and burned approximately 80 million trees across 2,150 square kilometers of remote Siberian forest.{{image|Leonid Kulik, the expedition to the Tunguska event}}]]Despite the diminished risk to Earth, NASA states there remains a 1.7% chance that 2024 YR4 could impact the Moon on the same date. The asteroid was estimated to be between 130 and 300 feet in diameter. A similar-sized object likely caused the 1908 [[w:Tunguska event|Tunguska event]] in Siberia, which leveled several hundred acres of remote forest. Scientists planned to continue to monitor 2024 YR4 using various observatories, including the {{w|James Webb Space Telescope}}. These efforts aim to refine estimates of the asteroid's size and trajectory, enhancing planetary defense preparedness. NASA released a statement that read in-part; "While this asteroid no longer poses a significant impact hazard to Earth, 2024 YR4 provided an invaluable opportunity." Further assessments are planned, particularly as the asteroid is expected to make another close approach in 2028. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news== * {{wikinews|International Asteroid Warning Network issues alert on asteroid 2024 YR4 impact risk in 2032|February 14, 2025}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/asteroid-2024-yr-threat-to-earth-2032.html |title = Congratulations, You Probably Won’t Be Killed by an Asteroid in 2032 |author = Chas Danner |pub = New York Magazine |date = February 24, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250215204733/https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/asteroid-2024-yr-threat-to-earth-2032.html }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/asteroid-2024-yr4-nasa-esa-cce39c01ab94ac1edae00024dc35169c |title = Asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer a threat to Earth, scientists say |author = Marcia Dunn |pub = Associated Press |date = February 24, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250225231946/https://apnews.com/article/asteroid-2024-yr4-nasa-esa-cce39c01ab94ac1edae00024dc35169c |medium = }} *{{source |url = https://blogs.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/2025/02/24/latest-calculations-conclude-asteroid-2024-yr4-now-poses-no-significant-threat-to-earth-in-2032-and-beyond/ |title = Latest Calculations Conclude Asteroid 2024 YR4 Now Poses No Significant Threat to Earth in 2032 and Beyond |author = Molly L Wasser |pub = NASA Planetary Defense Blog |date = February 24, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250226142254/https://blogs.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/2025/02/24/latest-calculations-conclude-asteroid-2024-yr4-now-poses-no-significant-threat-to-earth-in-2032-and-beyond/ |medium = }} {{Archived}} [[Category:Space]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:NASA]] [[Category:European Space Agency]] [[Category:Michael.C.Wright (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] qbqp73b56fxajty7u5hx4c2ns30u4yc 102 3009443 4841373 2025-02-25T22:04:58Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4841373 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3009505 4841519 2025-02-26T17:47:30Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4841519 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 10 3009512 4841541 2025-02-26T19:27:18Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 shiny new, change linked guideline 4841541 wikitext text/x-wiki <includeonly>{{xambox | type = maintenance | text = {{#if:{{tasks/comments found|{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}|{{{5|}}}|{{{6|}}}}}| {{tasks/see comments|{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}{{{4|}}}|{{{5|}}}|{{{6|}}}|nocat={{{nocat|}}}}}| {{tasks/standalone|{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}{{{4|}}}|{{{5|}}}|{{{6|}}}|nocat={{{nocat|}}}}} }}{{#if:{{{nocat|}}}||[[Category:Disputed|{{PAGENAME}}]][[Category:Developing or disputed|{{PAGENAME}}]]}} When these things have been done, and the article is [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles|ready to be reviewed and fact-checked]], {{assistant:Submit}} by changing the <code><nowiki>{{tasks}}</nowiki></code> tag to <code><nowiki>{{review}}</nowiki></code>.}}{{#if:{{{notcat|}}}||__NOINDEX__}}</includeonly><noinclude> {{Documentation}}</noinclude> fgg7pabubb93nifclbncba6ywij5lba 10 3009655 4846084 4841746 2025-03-29T22:31:54Z TG-article 2887904 +{{documentation subpage}} 4846084 wikitext text/x-wiki {{documentation subpage}} == Purpose == This template is used to indicate that a page is a ''proposed'' Wikinews policy, guideline, or process.

Trump described his relationship with Ukrainian president {{w|Volodymyr Zelenskyy}} as "a little bit testy," and explained this was because "we wanted to have a little bit of what the European nations have—they get their money back. By giving money, we don’t get our money back." Referring to the US$350 billion provided to Ukraine under Biden, Trump added, "I thought it was a very unfair situation." Starmer stated that the UK "was not getting all ours back," adding, "quite a bit of ours was gifted. It was given. There were some loans, but mainly it was gifted, actually." Starmer brought an invitation from [[King Charles III]] to Donald Trump for a second state visit to the UK. Trump described the opportunity as an "honour" and spoke warmly of the King, calling him a "beautiful man, a wonderful man." During a question and answer session with reporters, in response to the question of what the two leaders share in common, Trump answered "We like each other frankly, and we like each other's country." During the talks it came to light that tariffs may not be lobbied against the UK if a trade deal is arranged between the two countries. According to Trump if a deal was established then "tariffs may not be necessary." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url= https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/28/uk/king-charles-letter-donald-trump-intl-scli-gbr/index.html |title= What did King Charles say in his letter to Donald Trump? |auther= Amarachi Orie |pub = CNN Online |date= 28 February 2025 }} *{{source|url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgee7rl24ro |title= Key takeaways from Starmers talks with Trump |author= Sam Francis, Becky Mortan |pub= BBC |date= 27 FEB 2025 }} *{{source|url= https://www.ft.com/content/a56d1e25-547a-4aaf-8802-aa31a31bdf1f |title= Trump-Starmer meeting as it happened: US is working on trade deal with the UK that could spare Britain from tariffs |author= Alexandra White, Zehra Munir, Peter Wells |pub= Financial Times |date= 27 February 2025 }} {{Archived}} [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Ukraine]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Volodymyr Zelenskyy]] [[Category:King Charles III]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] kx5rcjwu2hvv650161l8k28zxkx9tpa 0 3009713 4853176 4853175 2025-04-28T13:15:47Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[New Zealand court overturns Whakaari Management Limited conviction]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853175 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 6, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:White_Island_9_December_2019_eruption.jpg|thumb|left|View of the 2019 Whakaari / White Island eruption from Whakatane at 14:20, 9 minutes after the start of the eruption.{{image source|GNS Science (formerly Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Ltd.)}}]] {{Crime and law}} On Friday, the {{w|New Zealand High Court}} overturned the conviction of {{w|Whakaari Management Limited}} (WML), which had been found guilty of failing to 'keep visitors safe' during the {{w|2019_Whakaari_/_White_Island_eruption|2019 eruption}}. The eruption killed 22 visitors and injured 25 others. The court ruled that WML only owned the land the volcano sits on and was not responsible for visitor safety. High Court Justice Moore stated that while WML contracted tour operators to conduct tours of the island, the language in the agreements did not make WML liable for such incidents on the island. The Buttle family welcomed the judge's decision, according to their lawyer, who also stated the decision would "bring certainty for all landowners who grant others recreational access to their land." In the original 2023 trial, survivors testified that they were not warned about the potential dangers before the eruption. They also stated that they were not given protective equipment, and that their burns were exacerbated by their clothing. Most of the victims were American and Australian tourists and tour staff. White Island, New Zealand’s most active volcano, showed increased activity in the weeks before the 2019 eruption. At the time, it was under an 'Alert Level 2' status, indicating "moderate to heightened volcanic unrest." Concluding the 2023 trial, the court fined WML NZ$1.045 million and ordered another NZ$4.88 million be paid in restitutions to the victims. High Court Justice Moore said, "It is impossible not to be deeply moved and affected by the sheer scale and nature of the human loss in this case." {{haveyoursay|Do you think its ''whacky'' that individuals can own entire islands?}} ==Sister links== {{sisters|w|2019 Whakaari / White Island eruption}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80yynv0jjpo |title = Volcano owners' conviction over deadly eruption thrown out |author = Kathryn Armstrong |pub = BBC News |date = February 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250301143446/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80yynv0jjpo }} *{{source |url = https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/02/28/New-Zeland-volcano-High-Court-Whakaari/5021740755419/ |title = New Zealand drops conviction against Whakaari/White Island volcano management |author = Clyde Hughes |pub = UPI |date = February 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250301205644/https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/02/28/New-Zeland-volcano-High-Court-Whakaari/5021740755419/ }} *{{source |url=https://apnews.com/article/whakaari-white-island-zealand-volcano-overturned-tourism-df8826fd5d792402848a2f3561446ce2 |date=February 28, 2025 |pub=Associated Press |title=Judge overthrows conviction of owners of New Zealand island where 22 died in volcanic eruption |author=Charlotte Graham-McLay |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250304113322/https://apnews.com/article/whakaari-white-island-zealand-volcano-overturned-tourism-df8826fd5d792402848a2f3561446ce2 }} [[Category:Wackynews]] [[Category:New Zealand]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Geology]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] ndx2et8w5q32y2r1m05hxek4wtbqqoa 10 3009715 4841922 4841920 2025-02-28T18:10:36Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 move back to main namespace. done testing 4841922 wikitext text/x-wiki <includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{ns:0}}|{{#ifeq:{{#invoke:DetectDraft|detectTemplates}}|true|<!-- Do not add date category if it is a draft -->|[[Category:{{#time:F j, Y|{{{1|{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}}}}}}]]}}}} <strong class="published"><span id="publishDate" class="value-title" title="{{#time:Y-m-d|{{{1|{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}}}}}}"></span>{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{#time:l, F j, Y|{{{1|{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}}}}}}|{{date/none}}}}</strong> {{COinS|date={{{1|{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude> {{Documentation}}</noinclude> a6y76h89kwiw64y5koh6so6qp40wned 102 3009770 4842071 2025-03-01T17:45:05Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4842071 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3009809 4866710 4863516 2025-06-30T16:46:31Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Not all reviewers published, but were active. 4866710 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Template:2025 boost navbox}} [[:Category:February 2025]] Articles published: 11 {| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto" |+ Publishing reviewers for the month |- !

His nomination has drawn scrutiny due to his lack of military experience. During John Phelan's recent Senate confirmation hearing for the position of Secretary of the Navy, Senator {{w|Rick Scott}} presented a photograph of the {{w|USS Dewey (DDG-105)|USS ''Dewey'' (DDG-105)}} displaying significant rust during a port visit to [[Singapore]]. Scott used the image to highlight maintenance concerns within the Navy, an issue Phelan acknowledged as part of broader systemic challenges. "The U.S. Navy is at a crossroads, with extended deployments, inadequate maintenance, huge cost overruns, delayed shipbuilding, failed audits, subpar housing, and, sadly, record-high suicide rates ... these are systemic failures that have gone unaddressed for far too long. Frankly, this is unacceptable," he said. Critics of John Phelan's nomination have expressed concerns primarily centered around his lack of military experience and potential challenges in navigating the complexities of the {{w|United States Department of the Navy|Department of the Navy}}. Phelan's background is rooted in business and finance, with no prior service in the armed forces. This absence of military experience has raised questions about his preparedness to lead a branch as complex as the Navy. Stacie Pettyjohn, director of the defense program at the [[w:think tank|think tank]] {{w|Center for a New American Security}} said "It will be difficult for anyone without experience in the Pentagon to take over the leadership of a service and do a good job. Services are sprawling organizations with distinct cultures, subcultures and bureaucratic interests, and where decisions are made through many formal processes. To change a service’s plans, one must understand this Byzantine landscape." Supporters of John Phelan’s nomination argue that his business acumen makes him well-suited to address the Navy’s logistical and industrial challenges. Armed Services Committee Chairman Senator {{w|Roger Wicker}} highlighted challenges in the Navy’s shipbuilding efforts, stating, "If we threw a zillion dollars at the Department of the Navy today, we couldn't build the ships because we don't have the industrial base. We've got to fix that. And I think that's why the president looked to an entrepreneur and an experienced business person." The Senate Armed Services Committee will next decide whether to advance Phelan’s nomination to a full Senate vote. If approved by the committee, the Senate will then debate and vote on his confirmation as Secretary of the Navy. A simple majority is required for confirmation. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url =

The NEOS party were the last to accept the plan for their government, having approved it with a vote share above 94% of the membership this Sunday. New chancellor {{W|Christian Stocker}} was sworn in on Monday along with most members of the cabinet. The new cabinet has 14 members: 5 ministers and the chancellor from center-right ÖVP, 6 ministers from center-left SPÖ, and 2 from liberal NEOS. The NEOS party meeting to approve the three-party coalition, held in hybrid format in [[Vienna]] on Sunday, included about 2,000 members of the party. Following the meeting, the NEOS leader {{W|Beate Meinl-Reisinger}} said the decision supported liberal democracy. The government formation process was a long and difficult one, taking 155 days, the longest such timespan in the history of Austria. Because of the exclusion of the far-right {{W|Freedom Party of Austria|Freedom Party (FPÖ)}} from the political mainstream, president {{W|Alexander Van der Bellen}} entrusted the ÖVP with the first round of coalition talks after the election, however, the talks collapsed, giving the FPÖ a chance to form the modern Austrian republic's far-right government. FPÖ–ÖVP talks also failed, far-right politics proving unacceptable for the more moderate ÖVP. Today's triple coalition thus averts new elections. The deal marks the first time NEOS is included in national government of Austria. {{haveyoursay}} {{clear}} == Sources == <!-- PAYWALLED *{{source|url=https://www.derstandard.at/jetzt/livebericht/3000000259591/angelobung-live-neue-regierung-abbei-van-der-bellen?responsive=false |title=Österreich hat eine neue Bundesregierung |author=Martin Tschiderer, Elisa Tomaselli |pub=Der Standard |date=March 3, 2025}}--> *{{source|url=https://www.dw.com/en/austrias-3-way-coalition-gets-final-vote-of-approval/a-71799945 |title=Austria's 3-way coalition gets final vote of approval |author=Nik Martin |pub=Deutsche Welle |date=March 3, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://444.hu/2025/03/03/beiktattak-az-osztrak-kormanyt-christian-stocker-az-uj-kancellar |title=Beiktatták az osztrák kormányt, Christian Stocker az új kancellár |author=Kristóf Molnár |pub=444.hu |date=March 3, 2025}} {{Publish}} [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Austria]] [[Category:Europe]]{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] ghzx78ty22gqg0vw3rc0ztkclzfzp3z 102 3009951 4842408 2025-03-03T22:47:46Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4842408 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3009952 4842430 2025-03-04T00:15:56Z RockerballAustralia 16528 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4842430 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3009980 4853255 4853254 2025-04-28T13:21:25Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[White House announces immediate halt to U.S. military aid for Ukraine]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853254 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 5, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine}} The United States paused all future and ongoing military aid packages to Ukraine immediately, the White House announced on Tuesday. {{w|Jason Miller}}, a senior adviser to Trump, told CNN the decision was intended to prompt Ukraine to engage in negotiations with Russia. The pause came after a contentious meeting between US President [[Donald Trump]] and Ukrainian President [[Volodymyr Zelenskyy]] on February 28, which ended without a finalized minerals deal previously proposed by Trump. After that meeting, Trump said Zelenskyy was not "ready for peace."

Ukrainian Prime Minister {{w|Denys Shmyhal}} said that Ukraine could continue fighting the Russians in the short term.

To modify this behavior and update CSS styling, administrators can follow the instructions at [[phab:T385346|T385346]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333211] * As part of this year's work around improving the ways readers discover content on the wikis, the Web team will be running an experiment with a small number of readers that displays some suggestions for related or interesting articles within the search bar. Please check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments#Experiment 1: Display article recommendations in more prominent locations, search|the project page]] for more information. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Template editors who use TemplateStyles can now customize output for users with specific accessibility needs by using accessibility related media queries (<code dir=ltr>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion prefers-reduced-motion]</code>, <code dir=ltr>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-transparency prefers-reduced-transparency]</code>, <code dir=ltr>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-contrast prefers-contrast]</code>, and <code dir=ltr>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/forced-colors forced-colors]</code>).

For example, the global blocks log will now be shown directly on the {{#special:CentralAuth}} page, similarly to global locks, to simplify the workflows for stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377024] '''Updates for technical contributors''' * Wikidata [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Default values for labels and aliases|now supports a special language as a "default for all languages"]] for labels and aliases. This is to avoid excessive duplication of the same information across many languages. If your Wikidata queries use labels, you may need to update them as some existing labels are getting removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312511] * The function <code dir="ltr">getDescription</code> was invoked on every Wiki page read and accounts for ~2.5% of a page's total load time. The calculated value will now be cached, reducing load on Wikimedia servers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383660] * As part of the RESTBase deprecation [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|effort]], the <code dir="ltr">/page/related</code> endpoint has been blocked as of February 6, 2025, and will be removed soon. This timeline was chosen to align with the deprecation schedules for older Android and iOS versions.

'''Weekly highlight''' * Communities using growth tools can now showcase one event on the <code>{{#special:Homepage}}</code> for newcomers. This feature will help newcomers to be informed about editing activities they can participate in.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379102] * You can now navigate to view a redirect page directly from its action pages, such as the history page. Previously, you were forced to first go to the redirect target. This change should help editors who work with redirects a lot. Thanks to user stjn for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T5324] * When a Cite reference is reused many times, wikis currently show either numbers like "1.23" or localized alphabetic markers like "a b c" in the reference list. Previously, if there were so many reuses that the alphabetic markers were all used, [[MediaWiki:Cite error references no backlink label|an error message]] was displayed. As part of the work to [[phab:T383036|modernize Cite customization]], these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like "1.23" once the alphabetic markers are all used. * The log entries for each change to an editor's user-groups are now clearer by specifying exactly what has changed, instead of the plain before and after listings. Translators can [[phab:T369466|help to update the localized versions]]. Thanks to user Msz2001 for these improvements. * A new filter has been added to the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool, which allows administrators to mass delete pages, to enable users to filter for pages in a range of page sizes (in bytes). This allows, for example, deleting pages only of a certain size or below. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378488] * Non-administrators can now check which pages are able to be deleted using the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump demanded that the hostages be released "now, not later," and that the bodies of dead hostages be returned immediately, and threatened that if they did not, it is "over" for them. Trump referred to Hamas as "sick and twisted" for keeping the bodies of dead hostages. The organization has been at war with Israel since October 2023, when Hamas led an attack on Israel which resulted in the capture of at least 250 people in Israel during the attack. In January 2025, the two parties both agreed to a ceasefire proposal, though the circumstances of the ceasefire are currently being disputed. US officials have confirmed that the US government has been communicating with Hamas, abandoning a long-established US policy of not directly communicating with the organisation. Since the US' classification of Hamas as a terrorist organisation in 1997, it is the first confirmed direct communication between the US government and Hamas. [[:w:Karoline Leavitt|Karoline Leavitt]], the press secretary of the White House, refused to elaborate on the talks, though noted that Trump had allowed his officials to communicate with anyone. Leavitt stated, "[l]ook, dialogue and talking to people around the world to do what's in the best interest of the American people is something that the president ... believes is a good-faith effort to do what's right for the American people." According to Leavitt, Israel had been alerted regarding the talks. {{Haveyoursay}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-gives-hamas-last-warning-over-hostages-as-secret-talks-revealed/ui0x2vrb6 |title=Donald Trump gives Hamas 'last warning' over hostages as secret talks revealed |pub=SBS News |date=6 March 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250306114710/https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-gives-hamas-last-warning-over-hostages-as-secret-talks-revealed/ui0x2vrb6 |author=Australian Associated Press }} *{{source |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/05/trump-issues-last-warning-for-hamas-to-release-hostages-amid-surprise-negotiations-with-group-hell-to-pay/ |title=Trump issues "last warning" for Hamas to release hostages amid surprise negotiations with group: "Hell to pay" |author=Antonio Pequeño IV |pub=Forbes |date=5 March 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250305235354/https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/05/trump-issues-last-warning-for-hamas-to-release-hostages-amid-surprise-negotiations-with-group-hell-to-pay/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgz7p85mdgo |title=Gaza ceasefire in peril as Israel and Hamas hit impasse |author=Lyse Doucet |pub=BBC News |date=3 March 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250303162105/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgz7p85mdgo }} *{{source |url=https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-838033 |title=Government approves the hostage deal after seven hours of deliberation |pub=The Jerusalem Post |date=17 January 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250212224032/https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-838033 }} *{{source |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/16/israeli-hostages-hamas-gaza |title=Hamas says 250 people held hostage in Gaza |author=Harriet Sherwood |pub=The Guardian |date=17 October 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241221005236/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/16/israeli-hostages-hamas-gaza }} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Israel/Palestine Conflict]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Palestine]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] ip0kwiev07qtbf7hvsgnmola51v5n2a 4 3010105 4866709 4863517 2025-06-30T16:46:18Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Not all reviewers published, but were active. 4866709 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Template:2025 boost navbox}} [[:Category:March 2025]] Articles published: 17 {| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto" |+ Publishing reviewers for the month |- !

For New Zealand, {{W|Michael Bracewell (cricketer)|Michael Bracewell}} and {{W|Mitchell Santner}} took 2 wickets each, with figures of 2-28 and 2-46 respectively. Rachin Ravindra from New Zealand's team won the Player of the Tournament award, while Rohit Sharma was named Player of the Match. Matt Henry ended as the leading wicket taker of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with 10 wickets, despite being ruled out of the final due to a shoulder injury. After the match, India's captain expressed his gratitude to the supporters, saying, "I appreciate everyone who came to support us. The crowd has been amazing. Not our home ground but they made it our home ground. Very satisfying win." New Zealand's captain has also stated, "It's been a good tournament. We have been challenged along the way and the way we have grown as a group. We lost to a better side today. Everyone contributed to the tournament and put their hands up at different times." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/ckgyzryk116o |title = India edge out New Zealand to win Champions Trophy |author = Matthew Henry |pub = BBC |date = March 9, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250309171547/https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/ckgyzryk116o }} *{{source |url = https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-champions-trophy-2024-25-1459031/india-vs-new-zealand-final-1466428/live-cricket-score |title = New Zealand vs India, Final at Dubai, Champions Trophy, Mar 09 2025 - Match Result |author = |pub = ESPN |date = March 9, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250309102838/https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-champions-trophy-2024-25-1459031/india-vs-new-zealand-final-1466428/live-cricket-score }} *{{source |url = https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/champions-trophy/ind-vs-nz-live-score-champions-trophy-2025-final-updates-india-new-zealand-highlights-streaming-info/article69309101.ece |title = IND vs NZ highlights, Champions Trophy 2025 Final Score: India beats New Zealand by four wickets |author = |pub = The Hindu |date = March 9, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250310152618/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/champions-trophy/ind-vs-nz-live-score-champions-trophy-2025-final-updates-india-new-zealand-highlights-streaming-info/article69309101.ece }} [[Category:Cricket]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:India]] [[Category:New Zealand]] [[Category:Dubai]] [[Category:Pakistan]] [[Category:Asia]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 3tgro1xhmwqessofcg7q5fycrgzgfwg 102 3010339 4843458 2025-03-10T15:18:18Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4843458 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3010369 4847518 4843570 2025-04-04T21:47:46Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Updating Month list using [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]] 4847518 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Monthpage}} oeyjhhhi9kw550kvxn9vnmcke1vmm7f 14 3010379 4843595 2025-03-11T02:54:52Z MathXplore 2807146 Page created with "[[Category:User categories]]" 4843595 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:User categories]] pl1b37kie66h9pzl6m120myfy8a8d1n 14 3010380 4843596 2025-03-11T02:56:17Z MathXplore 2807146 Page created with "__HIDDENCAT__" 4843596 wikitext text/x-wiki __HIDDENCAT__ 2twjmejn56ditxo46hqinfh52nh6flb 14 3010381 4843597 2025-03-11T02:59:03Z MathXplore 2807146 Page created with "{{tracking category}} __HIDDENCAT__" 4843597 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} __HIDDENCAT__ 0jq7px8o10g9etsb3qjjyzo4j3ewka6 14 3010382 4843598 2025-03-11T03:01:08Z MathXplore 2807146 Page created with "{{tracking category}} __HIDDENCAT__" 4843598 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tracking category}} __HIDDENCAT__ 0jq7px8o10g9etsb3qjjyzo4j3ewka6 14 3010383 4843599 2025-03-11T03:03:00Z MathXplore 2807146 Page created with "[[Category:User categories]]" 4843599 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:User categories]] pl1b37kie66h9pzl6m120myfy8a8d1n 90 3010591 4843934 2025-03-14T16:11:36Z Bayonle Arashi 2890143 New thread: One of the highlight of my career as a brodcaster 4843934 wikitext text/x-wiki I witnessed this World Cup final event live at the Johburg City Stadium and it was indeed an experience of a lifetime.

Carney unveiled a slimmed-down cabinet of 24 members, less than the 39 members of Trudeau's cabinet. A number of ministers are being kept in place. Returning ministers include {{w|Chrystia Freeland}}, {{w|Anita Anand}} and {{w|Mélanie Joly}}. New ministers include {{w|Kody Blois}}, {{w|Ali Ehsassi}} and {{w|Arielle Kayabaga}}.

According to ''AP News'', visibility was "nearly zero." The pile-up included vehicles as large as semi-trucks. Trooper Tod Hileman stated, "I've seen it before, but this is probably the worst I've ever seen." A 130-mile stretch of {{w|I-70}} was closed by authorities in [[New Mexico]] as crews worked to clear debris.

"We certainly couldn't handle it all by ourselves. Not one fire department can handle it, not just one EMS," Trooper Hileman said.

The measure, which mandates permits for firearm purchases and restricts magazine capacity to ten rounds, remains on hold as opponents indicate plans to appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court. The appellate court’s decision reverses a 2023 ruling by Harney County Circuit Judge Robert S. Raschio, who had found Measure 114 unconstitutional under Oregon’s right to bear arms. The law, passed by voters in 2022, remains blocked from enforcement pending further appeals. Tony Aiello Jr., representing Oregon gun owners who filed the lawsuit challenging Measure 114, vowed to take the case to the Oregon Supreme Court. Attorney General {{w|Dan Rayfield}} praised the ruling as a victory for public safety, while the Oregon Senate Republican Caucus stated that the measure infringes on constitutional rights and imposes excessive barriers to gun ownership. Measure 114, approved by Oregon voters in November 2022 with 50.6% of the vote, introduces additional firearm regulations in the state. The law requires individuals to obtain a permit before purchasing firearms, mandates successful completion of a gun safety course and a background check, and bans the sale of magazines holding more than ten rounds. Despite its approval by voters in a referendum, the measure has faced legal challenges that have delayed its implementation. A separate federal lawsuit challenging {{w|Oregon Ballot Measure 114|Measure 114}} is still under review by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|U.S. federal judge upholds Oregon Ballot Measure 114 gun permit requirement, magazine regulations|July 20, 2023}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/oregon-appeals-court-rules-measure-114-constitutional-lfits-hold/283-f4b1adf3-08fc-4c65-91f9-d30fefb2120a |title = Appeals court rules Measure 114 is constitutional, lifts hold: 'Oregonians voted for this' |author = Anthony Macuk, Jared Cowley, Celine Stevens |pub = KGW |date = March 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/gun-control-law-oregon-measure-114-34375d8bb5059cc236a67c7f1b99a196 |title = Oregon appeals court says voter-approved gun law is constitutional, reversing lower court ruling |author = |pub = Associated Press |date = March 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.axios.com/local/portland/2025/03/12/oregon-gun-law-measure-114-upheld |title = Oregon's controversial gun law upheld for now |author = Meira Gebel |pub = Axios |date = March 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Oregon]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Gun politics]] [[Category:Constitution of the United States]] [[Category:Michael.C.Wright (Wikinewsie)]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 76u4mgw6d1ol6mv3rs7o1kf04kp3u65 0 3010759 4853186 4853185 2025-04-28T13:16:23Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[South by Southwest film festival wraps up in Austin, Texas]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853185 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{culture and entertainment}} [[File:Publicity jacket.jpeg|left|thumb|295px|Mack Budd wearing a jacket emblazoned with art for the film 'On Swift Horses', shown at the festival. {{image|[[User:Bddpaux|Paul Budd]]}}]] On Saturday, the {{w|South by Southwest}} (SXSW) festival wrapped up in [[Austin, Texas|Austin]], [[Texas]], concluding its showcase of film, television, and music.

She won the {{W|2024 Namibian general electio|presidential election in November 2024}} as the candidate of the ruling {{w|SWAPO|South West Africa People's Organisation}} (SWAPO). SWAPO secured 53% of the parliamentary vote in the election, winning 51 out of 91 seats. The opposition party, {{W|Independent Patriots for Change}} (IPC), secured 20 seats. Nandi-Ndaitwah became the second woman to hold a presidential position in Africa. Dignitaries from across the continent were present at her inauguration, among them seven sitting African presidents and nine former heads of state. According to a BBC article, Namibia's unemployment rate rose to 36.9% in 2023. She emphasized the need for economic diversification to generate employment, noting it would "create jobs to take care of the unemployed, of which the majority are the youth." In her inaugural address, she stated, "We are going to increase investments in the agriculture sector to boost output and meet domestic food requirements." A veteran politician and long-time SWAPO member, Nandi-Ndaitwah joined the party at the age of 14 during Namibia's liberation movement and went into exile in 1973 to join the movement. SWAPO member Henning Melber voiced concern that the party had yet to fill the vice-presidency left vacant by Nandi-Ndaitwah during her presidential bid. MP Tobie Aupindi said the vacancy would remain until the party's next regular congress in 2027. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://issafrica.org/iss-today/namibia-s-first-woman-president-takes-the-helm |title = Namibia’s first woman president takes the helm |author = Peter Fabricius |pub = ISS Africa |date = March 21, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250324155447/https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/namibias-new-president-vows-diversify-economy-tackle-joblessness-2025-03-21/https://web.archive.org/web/20250322015906/https://issafrica.org/iss-today/namibia-s-first-woman-president-takes-the-helm }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/namibias-new-president-vows-diversify-economy-tackle-joblessness-2025-03-21/ |title = Namibia's new president vows to diversify economy, tackle joblessness |author = Nyasha Nyaungwa |pub = Rauters |date = March 21, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly8ln5g12wo |title = Namibia swears in first female president |author = |pub = BBC |date = March 21, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250322030317/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly8ln5g12wo }} [[Category:Namibia]] [[Category:Africa]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 9d5f73tpmk6g4g1qek9fg2mb3s2gam9 10 3011028 4845078 2025-03-22T13:46:16Z TG-article 2887904 Not sure why the previous page was deleted.

The yet to be named stadium is due to be the main stadium for the {{w|2032 Summer Olympics|2032 Olympics}} as well as international cricket and top level {{w|Australian rules football}}, both currently hosted at the Gabba. {{w|Queensland Cricket}}, Chief Executive Officer, Terry Svenson welcomed the decision of the state government. "Queensland Cricket congratulates the {{w|Queensland Government}} on its decision to invest in the State's future, with a world-class stadium that will be a centrepiece of Brisbane for 2032 and beyond," Svenson said. "The Gabba has been wonderful venue for cricket for many years and has provided fans and players with countless memories – however the challenges the stadium faces are well documented, and we need to look to the future. There is now the opportunity for Queensland to attract the world's best cricket events, such as {{w|ICC}} events, men's and women's {{w|Ashes Series}}, the {{w|Border-Gavaskar Trophy}} series between Australia and {{w|India}}, as well has hosting the {{w|BBL}} and {{w|WBBL}} in a new purpose-built stadium." The {{w|Brisbane Lions}} are the {{w|Australian Football League}} premiers. Their CEO Greg Swann was equally as welcoming. "The Gabba has been a great home for the past 30 years, but the city has outgrown it, the Lions have outgrown it, and the venue is reaching its end of life," Swann said. "The Olympics and {{w|Paralympics}} presents an opportunity to deliver a venue that will serve the City and State's growing population, not just for the Games, but for the next 50 years. Between now and the Olympics nearly 4 million Queensland sports fans will visit the Gabba for either a Lions or cricket match, with each event creating job and economic opportunities and ensuring our local events industry is equipped and skilled to deliver the Games. We need all stakeholders to unite behind 2032 so we can get on with delivering the venues needed to host a great Games and critical infrastructure for decades to come." Former Queensland Premier {{w|Campbell Newman}} was amongst a group that opposed the potential loss of green space at the {{w|Victoria Park, Brisbane|Victoria Park}} site. “It is not only the stadium, but now we’re getting the swimmers talking about putting a swimming venue in the park as well. And this is what happens. These people really have to look at their own words,” Newman told {{w|Fox Sports News}}. “One minute they’re saying it’s only going to take up x-percent of the Park. The next minute, within a few breaths, they’re talking about putting the swimming in there as well. And that’s how it goes (and soon) you have no park.” Those opposed to the new stadium site seem likely to challenge the decision in court according to Fox Sports News. <!--- further svensen comments --- "Thirty years ago this week, the Gabba was in the very early stages of its major redevelopment as the historic Sheffield Shield Final was being played, with many ensuing highlights following in the past three decades. "Today's decision gives us certainty after many years without clarity. We now stand at the starting line as Queensland prepares to unveil a signature stadium that will be known the world over. "We look forward to working with Government at all levels and our colleagues at the Brisbane Lions to make this a reality." --- end further svensen comments ---> {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-At05KhGptQ |title = Years of speculation ends with location for 2032 Olympics stadium finally revealed | 7NEWS |author = |pub = 7News Australia |date = March 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-25/brisbane-olympics-olympic-games-2032-stadium-premier-plans/105062348 |title = New Brisbane stadium to be built at Victoria Park for 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games |author = Jack McKay and Claudia Williams |pub = ABC News |date = March 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.foxsports.com.au/olympics/brisbane-2032-olympics-venues-announcement-live-coverage-start-time-victoria-park-stadium/news-story/a1d49c59c960e2984952460e107e85fa |title = 2032 stadium call made as QLD Premier ‘sorry’ for Gabba backflip in Olympic venues reveal |author = Courtney Walsh |pub = Fox Sports News |date = March 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Australian Football League]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] i4eq1cfmfwbz9pwek0br6wt1ew71gv3 102 3011185 4845459 2025-03-25T18:32:14Z Bddpaux 112744 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4845459 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3011200 4855187 4845516 2025-05-05T14:12:15Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Updating Month list using [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]] 4855187 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Monthpage}} oeyjhhhi9kw550kvxn9vnmcke1vmm7f 6 3011207 4845536 2025-03-26T03:19:29Z RockerballAustralia 16528 Uploaded to help verify *{{wikinews|title=New Brisbane stadium to replace Gabba as venue for Olympics, cricket, AFL|date=March 25, 2025 (last updates)}} 4845536 wikitext text/x-wiki == Summary == Uploaded to help verify *{{wikinews|title=New Brisbane stadium to replace Gabba as venue for Olympics, cricket, AFL|date=March 25, 2025 (last updates)}} == Licensing == {{Breaking news image}} 7vy8sswclonoyx2odp9amvh5whu8ojn 102 3011307 4845739 2025-03-27T22:42:12Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4845739 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3011313 4865475 4865472 2025-06-22T00:58:49Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Remove all instances of the {{Verify}} template. 4865475 wikitext text/x-wiki {{correction|date=April 7, 2025|explanation=This article states the United States Supreme Court's ''Roe v.

Bruck cited New York's {{w|Abortion shield laws in the United States|shield law}}, which, according to New York Attorney General {{w|Letitia James}}, was passed specifically to protect abortion providers. According to ''The New York Times'', this marks the first instance of a shield law being applied to defend a physician from the abortion restrictions of another state. According to the lawsuit, Dr. Margaret Carpenter, who lives and works in New York, allegedly prescribed and sent abortion pills through the mail to a patient in Texas, where almost all abortions are illegal. A Texas judge fined her US$113,000 and ordered her to stop sending the pills to patients in Texas. Bruck refused to file the lawsuit in New York and cited the New York State shield law but declined to comment further in anticipation of further litigation. New York Attorney General {{w|Letitia James}} said more: "New York's shield law was created to protect patients and providers from out-of-state anti-choice attacks, and we will not allow anyone to undermine health care providers' ability to deliver necessary care to their patients." Shortly after filing the initial lawsuit, Texas Attorney General {{w|Ken Paxton}} told the press, "In Texas, we treasure the health and lives of mothers and babies, and this is why out-of-state doctors may not illegally and dangerously prescribe abortion-inducing drugs to Texas residents."<!--AP--> Louisiana, which also has strict anti-abortion-rights laws, asked New York to extradite Carpenter so she could be prosecuted for allegedly mailing abortion pills to a woman in Louisiana who gave them to her daughter, but New York Governor {{w|Kathy Hochul}} refused. In 2022, the [[United States Supreme Court]] overturned ''{{w|Roe v. Wade}}'', a 1973 Supreme Court ruling that had rendered abortion legal throughout the United States. Overturning it meant each state could make its own laws regarding abortion, and they have come to differ widely. Some states, such as Texas and [[Louisiana]], banned nearly all abortions and created new laws allowing anyone who helps a woman seek an abortion to be sued or prosecuted. Lawyer {{w|Alejandra Caraballo}}, who wrote about state-to-state extradition in a law review, told ''{{w|Jezebel (website)|Jezebel}}'', "We haven't seen this kind of disparity in state laws around {{w|human rights}} since the [[US Civil War|Civil War]].

Vance}}, who has been visiting the Danish territory [[Greenland]]. "Of course, we are open to criticism, but let me be completely honest," said Rasmussen, "we do not appreciate the tone in which it's being delivered." Vice President Vance had said, "We hope that [the people of Greenland] choose to partner with the United States because we're the only nation on Earth that will respect their sovereignty and respect their security — because their security is very much our security" and accused Denmark of being negligent with respect to the island's safety. Currently, relations between the U.S. and Greenland are covered by NATO's Article 5 collective defense clause and by a 1951 agreement which, Rasumussen says, does allow for "greater military presence" on the island. Over the past several years, U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] has expressed a desire to bring Greenland under U.S. control, citing the Russian and Chinese ships that use nearby waterways. According to ABC, the idea of Greenland becoming a U.S. territory has been unpopular with leaders in both Greenland and Denmark. About 6% of Greenlanders are in favor of joining the U.S., according to a poll by Verian. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.dw.com/en/denmark-not-pleased-with-vances-tone/a-72081826 |title = Greenland: Danish minister pushes back at JD Vance's 'tone' |author = Kalika Mehta |pub = DW |date = March 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250331152721/https://abcnews.go.com/International/denmark-tone-us-greenland-remarks-minister/story?id=120287707 }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/International/denmark-tone-us-greenland-remarks-minister/story?id=120287707 |title = Denmark doesn't 'appreciate the tone' of US Greenland remarks, minister says |author = David Brennan |pub = ABC |date = March 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250331153241/https://www.dw.com/en/denmark-not-pleased-with-vances-tone/a-72081826 }} [[Category: Denmark]][[Category: Greenland]][[Category: Donald Trump]][[Category: United States]][[Category: Politics and conflicts]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] ndvq8fofnamn27gqyht9ka3yufk4ld6 102 3011560 4846347 2025-03-31T12:23:20Z 103.197.113.171 create 4846347 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --> in that case it can be recommended for delete hiyqw7txbfnb7hbqkqbn7aclbhpnj5k 102 3011570 4846377 2025-03-31T15:45:36Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4846377 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 14 3011573 4846414 2025-03-31T17:28:38Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 necessary category 4846414 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Datecategory}} tnitdumewxaeyevrqvfhe04c2tsb8bj 10 3011580 4846460 2025-03-31T21:24:28Z Gryllida 160590 created 4846460 wikitext text/x-wiki [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], [[User:Bddpaux]], [[User:RockerballAustralia]]<noinclude> * This templace usage at talk pages: <nowiki>{{subst:Ping-assistance-required-sysop}}</nowiki> Produces a list of nicks pinged, for example: [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], [[User:Bddpaux]], [[User:RockerballAustralia]] * To opt in, include yourself into the first line of this page source. * [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] included a list of active sysops in this template as of 21:24, 31 March 2025 (UTC) * '''If you're not interested, remove yourself from the list.''' * '''If someone is missing, add them to this list.''' * You can also put the users from this list into edit summaries when submitting an article for review, or when creating a new article.

The senator's speech began on Monday evening. The action was not officially a filibuster. Media sources across the globe have reported on the event. The senator's speech ultimately spanned 25 hours and either 4 or 5 minutes, with sources differing on the exact duration. This surpassed the late Senator {{w|Strom Thurmond}}'s {{w|fillibuster}} speech delivered in 1957. It lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes. Thurmond was protesting the passage of the {{w|Civil Rights Act of 1957|Civil Rights Act}}. "I rise tonight with the intention of getting in some good trouble," Booker began at 7:00 p.m. Monday (2300 UTC). "I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able. ... The threats to the American people and American democracy are grave and urgent, and we all must do more to stand against them." The senator spoke against U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] ostensibly, "...cozying up to Putin," referring to Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]]. Numerous other legislators interjected questions and comments during the speech. During the live stream on YouTube, thousands of comments appeared in the chat box, most supportive of the Senator's remarks. Booker also read letters from Americans commenting on the current state of the country. At 10:25 p.m. (2125 UTC), a legislator asked the senator what families in [[New Jersey]] were saying about President Trump's cutting of funding to the {{w|US Department of Education}}. Booker, a [[US Democratic Party|Democrat]], is a senator from New Jersey and is up for reelection in 2026. Following the defeat of their candidate, then–Vice President Kamala Harris, in the [[2024 U.S. presidential election]], the Democratic Party has faced declining public support. One NBC poll showed the party’s popularity at a historic low. Some political commentary framed the speech as a notable moment for the party, though such views were published in opinion sections and do not reflect official positions or measurable political outcomes. Late in the evening of April 1, Booker sent a text message to group subscribers that read, in part: "... it's Cory Booker: I just walked off the Senate floor. I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent. We must speak up. I am filled with hope. My team just told me that tens of thousands of you have voiced your support for my remarks on the Senate floor." Booker is New Jersey's first African-American senator. He is 55 years old. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|Cory Booker's marathon speech}} == Sources == {| class="noprint toccolours OR box" id='broadcast-report' style="clear:{{{1|right}}}; float:{{{1|right}}}; background: #f9f9f9; width: 350px; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: {{{margin|2em}}}; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" rules="none" |- {{#if:{{{noimg|}}}||{{!}} [[File:Wikinews-logo.svg|100px|none|Wikinews]]}} |Some information contained in this article was obtained from television, radio, or live webcast sources.

She was quoted saying: "Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America." Mangione, 26, was arrested in {{w|Altoona, Pennsylvania}} on December 9 after he was implicated in Thompson's death outside a hotel in {{w|Manhattan}}. On December 4, the CEO arrived there to attend a shareholder meeting, and he was shot by a masked gunman. After the incident, some health insurance employers opted for remote work and virtual shareholder meetings due to safety concerns. Police arrested Mangione five days later in {{w|Altoona, Pennsylvania}}, about 230 miles from New York. They report that he had a {{w|ghost gun}} and anti-health-insurance writings with him at the time. Mangione awaits trial at the {{w|Metropolitan Detention Center}}, a {{w|New York}} facility located in {{w|Brooklyn}}. He continues to deny the state charges, for which the maximum penalty under state law is life in prison without the possibility of parole. The state of New York has charged him with first-degree murder, murder as terrorism, and nine other offenses.<!--BBC--> Mangione has not yet entered a plea for the charges on the federal level. These charges include murder through use of a firearm and interstate stalking, which make Mangione legally elegible for the death penalty. Mangione's lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, responded to Bondi's statement announcing intent to seek the death penalty, saying: "the Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric." {{Have your say}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c30qlr528elo |title = US prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione |author = Brandon Drenon |pub = BBC News |date = April 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing-luigi-mangione-nyc-29dba97034d4fa81822f481d08cf2842 |title = Federal prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione in UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing |author = Michael R.

I think this could be useful to get attention of an author or reviewer more quickly. It was added to msn like in 1999, it would popup the window in front of all windows and annoy the user.

Brand was not arrested following the announcement of the charges, and was scheduled to appear in court on May 2. The investigation had been ongoing since October of 2023, when four women came forward with allegations. Russell denied the allegations when they first emerged, stating that while he has described some of his past encounters as "promiscuous," they were always consensual. {{Have your say}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0457d02e9go |title = Russell Brand charged with rape and sexual assault |author = Noor Nanji |pub = BBC |date = April 4, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250406090249/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0457d02e9go }} *{{source |url = https://people.com/russell-brand-charged-rape-sexual-assault-police-7971304 |title = Russell Brand Charged with Rape and Sexual Assault, Will Appear in Court in May: Police |author = Ingrid Vasquez and Kirsty Hatcher |pub = People |date = April 4, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250405080715/https://people.com/russell-brand-charged-rape-sexual-assault-police-7971304 }} *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2025/04/04/g-s1-58260/russell-brand-rape-assault |title = Comedian Russell Brand is charged with rape and assault in U.K. |author = Bill Chappell |pub = NPR |date = April 4, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250405215355/https://www.npr.org/2025/04/04/g-s1-58260/russell-brand-rape-assault }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Comedy]] [[Category:London]] [[Category:England]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Great Britain]] [[Category:Sex crimes]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] mjnwqaf65fx0z6evymduap8v9u9zumj 0 3011832 4853271 4853270 2025-04-28T13:22:49Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[South Korean Constitutional Court upholds impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853270 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|April 8, 2025}} [[File:20241214 ROK NA Speaker Woo Won Shik signing the resolution to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol 02.jpg|thumb|left|alt=Speaker of the National Assembly of South Korea signing resolution approving the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol|Speaker of the National Assembly of South Korea signing resolution approving the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol. {{image|National Assembly (South Korea)}}]] {{South Korea}} On Friday, in a unanimous vote, South Korea's Constitutional Court upheld the December 2024 impeachment of President {{w|Yoon Suk Yeol}}, officially ending his bid to remain in power. Under South Korean law, a snap election must be held by June 3 to choose Yoon's successor. In the meantime, Acting President {{w|Han Duck-soo}} will carry out the duties of the presidency. Yoon apologized to members of his political party, the {{w|People Power Party (South Korea)|People Power Party (PPP)}}, as well as to his supporters. He added, "It has been a great honor to serve the Republic of Korea. I am deeply grateful to all of you who supported and encouraged me, despite my many shortcomings." Many such supporters protested outside during Yoon's trial, calling, "Impeachment is invalid!" and accusing the Court of destroying the country's democracy. During the trial, Yoon claimed that South Korea had been infiltrated by Chinese and North Korean spies and that the country's elections had been rigged. According to the BBC, there was no evidence that foreign spies had infiltrated the government. Nevertheless, unverified claims of such infiltration have gained traction among far-right groups, with thousands of protesters regularly demonstrating in central Seoul to denounce politicians, judges, and the electoral system. The impeachment stemmed from an incident on December 3, in which Yoon declared martial law and ordered soldiers to enter Parliament, leading to clashes between lawmakers, demonstrators, and soldiers outside the National Assembly building. The order declaring martial law remained in effect for only a few hours before the South Korean Parliament overturned it, but the episode sent shockwaves through the nation, stirring memories of past authoritarian rule. Parliament voted to impeach and suspend Yoon on December 14. Yoon faces criminal charges of insurrection. {{Have your say}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|South Korean president impeached by nation's parliament|December 18, 2024}} *{{wikinews|Impeachment of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol fails|December 8, 2024}} *{{wikinews|President of South Korea declares and lifts martial law|December 8, 2024}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|Impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/5/thousands-hit-the-streets-for-south-koreas-impeached-ex-president-yoon |title = Thousands hit the streets for South Korea’s impeached ex-president Yoon |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = April 5, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz01mjv0v0go |title = South Korea's president has been removed from power: What happens now? |author = Jean MacKenzie |pub = BBC |date = April 4, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c5yrpvggyyet |title = Jubilation and despair as South Korea president removed from office |author = |pub = BBC |date = April 4, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:South Korea]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Asia]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 0yydtudtxoixjebz6dg2tfuqfp7d6lj 0 3011837 4853269 4853268 2025-04-28T13:22:44Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Nintendo delays US pre-orders for Switch 2, cites tariff impact]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853268 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Economy and business}} {{date|April 7, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Nintendo-Switch-wJoyCons-BlRd-Standing-FL.jpg|thumb|left|The Switch 2 will have a similar console layout as the {{w|Nintendo Switch}} {{image source|[[c:User:Evan-Amos|Evan-Amos]]}}]] On Friday, [[Japan|Japanese]] video game manufacturer {{w|Nintendo}} announced that it would not be allowing preorders for its new console the {{w|Switch 2}} on that day as had been previously intended. The company said it was due to the announcements of tariffs on exports from Japan into the US. Nintendo officials imparted in a statement that the purpose of the decision was "to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions." The release of the Switch 2 was still slated for June 5 in spite of the tariffs. Nintendo affirmed that the decision only applies to the US market, and existing pre-orders for UK customers would remain unaffected. The console was unveiled to the public on Wednesday, merely hours before US president [[Donald Trump]] announced {{w|Tariffs_in_the_second_Trump_administration#Legality|a wave of global tariffs}}. While Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba characterized the situation as a "national crisis," the Trump administration defended the tariffs as a measure to improve the US economy and nurture job creation.

This should helpfully reduce the amount of "broken redirect" cases which is relatively common on this wiki. Delete-redirect is more niche (helpful with more complex moves), but can still be helpful.

A video posted to social media appeared to show the animal void of motion near an ATM for Unity National Bank located at the intersection of Peachtree Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, while spectators passed by in shock and astoundment. Jon Birdsong, the owner of the building where the horse was found, stated that authorities attempted to give the horse food and water in an attempt to save it, placing a white tarp over it. The {{w|Atlanta Police Department}} assured the public that it was "aware of the unfortunate incident," after receiving 911 calls at 4:27 a.m. UTC Sunday. One caller told police they had witnessed "multiple males" horseback riding through the area earlier in the night. According to {{w|Fox 5 Atlanta}}, the horse was still laying on the sidewalk at 3:15 p.m. UCT, nearly eleven hours later. Police worked jointly with the {{w|Atlanta Fire Rescue Department}} to remove the horse's body. Authorities further advised the public to avoid the area in which the horse's body was found in order to ensure it was removed in a "safe and respectful" manner. The Atlanta Police Department stated that they had identified and notified the horse's owner, who expressed belief that the horse may have suffered some sort of "medical emergency." It was later stated by Birdsong that the horse was purchased at auction only ten days prior, though as of Monday, it was not immediately clear why the owner brought a horse into downtown Atlanta. According to ''Atlanta First News'', Laurie Wilson, a professional horse trainer based in {{w|Cobb County, Georgia|Cobb County}}, Georgia, said: "I find it very unusual to see any horse in downtown Atlanta, much less that situation. [...] I saw nothing as far {{sic}} nothing as from a neglect standpoint. The horse looked very taken care of. [...] It is weird that it happened in downtown Atlanta, and then the horse is left laying here with no equipment." No further information was released in regard to how long the horse's body had been there, or the manner in which it died. A local real estate company indicated that they were reviewing security camera footage available to them to help answer questions regarding the horse's death, with help from the city's agricultural department and animal control center. As of Monday, no criminal charges had been filed in relation to the horse's death. An auction in {{w|Tennessee}}, had been seen in videos of individuals riding horses during the city's 404 Day festivities. However, it is unclear if this event was related to the incident. The original statement made by police said that they were called about the horse at 12:27 a.m. local time on Sunday. The horse was still on the sidewalk as of 11:15 a.m. local time. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url=https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/04/07/questions-remain-after-dead-horse-found-downtown-atlanta/ |title=Questions remain after dead horse found in downtown Atlanta |author=Adam Murphy |date=April 7, 2025 |pub=Atlanta News First}} *{{source |url=https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/downtown-atlanta-dead-horse-peachtree-street |pub=Fox 5 Atlanta |date=April 6, 2024 |title=Horse collapses, dies on downtown Atlanta sidewalk |author=Judayah Murray }} *{{source |url = https://www.yahoo.com/news/police-dead-horse-found-along-161944127.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHGVBV0liFd5Fb8ro9qz73yTpwIjVOvgQ2IHL6JFlz0lzFFxa9okSJ_zD0OOt2J5SvhtdbKTXvVwRTjQ-6q3QkHg9eRoQguFX3ejY32nXMY3FkzcaahtqSkk-mqS5XOjaoUWKasqO1F6AHC-cZt6xHSi_NavGP2pvgVxS94lDBxR |title = Police say a dead horse has been found along a busy roadway in downtown Atlanta |author = |pub = AP |date = April 6, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.msn.com/en-us/public-safety-and-emergencies/general/respectful-removal-apd-fire-department-working-to-safely-move-dead-horse-from-street/ar-AA1CozhW?ocid=BingNewsVerp |title = 'Respectful removal:' APD, fire department working to safely move dead horse from street |author = |pub = WSBTV.com |date = April 6, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/public-safety-and-emergencies/health-and-safety-alerts/dead-horse-left-on-sidewalk-in-downtown-atlanta/ar-AA1Cotjf?ocid=BingNewsVerp |title= Dead horse left on sidewalk in downtown Atlanta |author= Alani Letang |pub= Atlanta News First |date= April 6, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/police-dead-horse-found-busy-roadway-downtown-atlanta-120539288 |title=Police say a dead horse has been found along a busy roadway in downtown Atlanta |pub=ABC News |date=April 6, 2025 }} [[Category:Atlanta, Georgia]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Georgia (U.S. state)]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Animal rights]] [[Category:Tennessee]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 5io4tt4gmvic1jwbcxfpq5b3mrg4xum 0 3011996 4848241 4847870 2025-04-09T14:02:22Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4848241 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Horse found dead along busy street in Atlanta, Georgia ten days after being bought at auction]] dod8ngl22iq3eba5tqoe1y5kbd5txg0 0 3012028 4847770 2025-04-06T23:35:09Z Darkfrog24 950005 Darkfrog24 moved page [[South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol removed from power]] to [[South Korean Constitutional Court upholds impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol]]: He was removed from power in December. 4847770 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[South Korean Constitutional Court upholds impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol]] o5ny7t89o9c3zcupndklhkg5d1ztsxm 0 3012032 4848238 4847863 2025-04-09T14:01:38Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4848238 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Horse found dead along busy street in Atlanta, Georgia ten days after being bought at auction]] dod8ngl22iq3eba5tqoe1y5kbd5txg0 0 3012034 4848239 4847865 2025-04-09T14:01:57Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4848239 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Horse found dead along busy street in Atlanta, Georgia ten days after being bought at auction]] dod8ngl22iq3eba5tqoe1y5kbd5txg0 0 3012036 4848240 4847866 2025-04-09T14:02:09Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4848240 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Horse found dead along busy street in Atlanta, Georgia ten days after being bought at auction]] dod8ngl22iq3eba5tqoe1y5kbd5txg0 0 3012039 4848521 4847824 2025-04-11T04:06:33Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect fixed 4848521 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Horse found dead along busy street in Atlanta, Georgia ten days after being bought at auction]] dod8ngl22iq3eba5tqoe1y5kbd5txg0 4 3012042 4854026 4850339 2025-05-01T03:01:30Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 1 thread from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous]] 4854026 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Tech News: 2025-10 == <section begin="technews-2025-W10"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

'''Updates for editors''' * Editors who use password managers at multiple wikis may notice changes in the future. The way that our wikis provide information to password managers about reusing passwords across domains has recently been updated, so some password managers might now offer you login credentials that you saved for a different Wikimedia site. Some password managers already did this, and are now doing it for more Wikimedia domains. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3 project]] which aims to improve how our unified login works, and to keep it compatible with ongoing changes to the web-browsers we use. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385520][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384844] * The Wikipedia Apps Team is inviting interested users to help improve Wikipedia’s offline and limited internet use.

'''Weekly highlight''' * Twice a year, around the equinoxes, the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team performs [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|a datacenter server switchover]], redirecting all traffic from one primary server to its backup. This provides reliability in case of a crisis, as we can always fall back on the other datacenter. [http://listen.hatnote.com/ Thanks to the Listen to Wikipedia] tool, you can hear the switchover take place: Before it begins, you'll hear the steady stream of edits; Then, as the system enters a brief read-only phase, the sound stops for a couple of minutes, before resuming after the switchover. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog]].

The parent category name will always be shown on top, and it will always be possible to come back to it. This should decrease the amount of work for volunteers in fixing/creating new categories. The change is also available on mobile. These changes are part of planned improvements to the UploadWizard. * The Community Tech team is seeking wikis to join a pilot for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] feature and a refreshed Special:Block page in late March. Multiblocks enables administrators to impose multiple different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. If you are an admin or steward and would like us to discuss joining the pilot with your community, please leave a message on the [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|project talk page]]. * Starting March 25, the Editing team will test a new feature for Edit Check at [[phab:T384372|12 Wikipedias]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi-check|Multi-Check]]. Half of the newcomers on these wikis will see all [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Checks]] during their edit session, while the other half will continue seeing only one. The goal of this test is to see if users are confused or discouraged when shown multiple Reference Checks (when relevant) within a single editing session. At these wikis, the tags used on edits that show References Check will be simplified, as multiple tags could be shown within a single edit. Changes to the tags are documented [[phab:T373949|on Phabricator]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379131] * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]], which is a service for notifying users that their temporary user-rights are about to expire, now supports using the localized name of the user-rights group in the message heading.

'''Updates for editors''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] will be released to multiple wikis (see [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status#Global Deployment Plan|deployment plan]] for details) in April 2025, and the team has begun the process of engaging communities on the identified wikis. The extension provides tools to organize, manage, and promote collaborative activities (like events, edit-a-thons, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. The extension has three tools: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration list|Collaboration List]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Invitation list|Invitation Lists]]. It is currently on 13 Wikipedias, including English Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, as well as Wikidata. Questions or requests can be directed to the [[mw:Help talk:Extension:CampaignEvents|extension talk page]] or in Phabricator (with <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr" style="white-space: nowrap;">#campaigns-product-team</bdi> tag). * Starting the week of March 31st, wikis will be able to set which user groups can view private registrants in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], as part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension. By default, event organizers and the local wiki admins will be able to see private registrants. This is a change from the current behavior, in which only event organizers can see private registrants. Wikis can change the default setup by [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|requesting a configuration change]] in Phabricator (and adding the <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr" style="white-space: nowrap;">#campaigns-product-team</bdi> tag). Participants of past events can cancel their registration at any time. * Administrators at wikis that have a customized <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]</bdi> should check that it contains an entry for the {{int:specialpages}} listing. If it does not, they should add it using <code dir=ltr style="white-space: nowrap;">* specialpages-url|specialpages</code>. Wikis with a default sidebar will see the link moved from the page toolbox into the sidebar menu in April.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * VisualEditor has introduced a [[mw:VisualEditor/Hooks|new client-side hook]] for developers to use when integrating with the VisualEditor target lifecycle. This hook should replace the existing lifecycle-related hooks, and be more consistent between different platforms. In addition, the new hook will apply to uses of VisualEditor outside of just full article editing, allowing gadgets to interact with the editor in DiscussionTools as well. The Editing Team intends to deprecate and eventually remove the old lifecycle hooks, so any use cases that this new hook does not cover would be of interest to them and can be [[phab:T355555|shared in the task]]. * Developers who use the <code dir=ltr>mw.Api</code> JavaScript library, can now identify the tool using it with the <code dir=ltr>userAgent</code> parameter: <code dir=ltr>var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );</code>. If you maintain a gadget or user script, please set a user agent, because it helps with library and server maintenance and with differentiating between legitimate and illegitimate traffic.

Due to strong cold front, continuous, heavy snow was expected to occur in eastern Inner Mongolia and eastern Northeast China, while southern China would experience moderate to heavy rainfall. Ma Xuekuan, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said this strong wind "has the characteristics of long duration, wide impact range, strong wind force and high disaster risk", and prevention would need to be strengthened. At 9:00 am on Thursday, China Meteorological Administration launched Level 3 emergency response for major meteorological disasters (strong winds, rain and snow, severe convection, and sandstorms). This included issuing early warnings, sending out automated text messages, notifications in {{w|Weibo}}, {{w|WeChat}}, {{w|Alipay}}, and {{w|Baidu}} apps, and prevention and response work by emergency departments. Some people weighing less than 50 kilograms or 110 pounds could reportedly "easily be blown away." At 6:00 am on Sunday, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue an amber warning for high winds and a blue warning for sandstorms. Local torrential rain (100-142 mm) occurred in Sanya, Hainan, and Nantou, Taiwan.

Kennedy Jr.}} announced on Thursday, April 10, a new initiative to determine the cause of autism by September 2025. The announcement was made during a televised Cabinet meeting with [[United States]] President {{w|Donald Trump}}, where Kennedy detailed a "massive testing and research effort" that would involve hundreds of scientists worldwide. The stated goal was to uncover potential environmental, dietary, or medical causes of autism, including the controversial and widely discredited theory linking vaccines to the developmental disorder. [[File:Robert F. Kennedy Jr., official portrait (2025) (cropped 3-4).jpg|thumb|left|Robert F. Kennedy Jr.{{image source|United States Department of Health and Human Services}}]] Trump responded by suggesting that a supposedly artificial cause exists, saying "There’s got to be something artificial out there that’s doing this. If you can come up with that answer, where you stop taking something, eating something, or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it." Kennedy, when interviewed by ''Fox News'', alleged the initiative would involve comprehensive studies, "We're going to look at vaccines, but we're going to look at everything. Everything is on the table, our food system, our water, our air, different ways of parenting, all the kind of changes that may have triggered this epidemic." The plan has drawn criticism from leading autism advocacy groups and scientific experts, who argue that the timeline is unrealistic and the research premise flawed. Critics point to Kennedy's appointment of {{W|David Geier}} — an anti-vaccine activist previously fined for practicing medicine without a license — as a troubling sign of the project's direction. Furthermore, the initiative has proceeded without input from established autism organizations, such as the {{W|Autism Society of America}}, whose president labeled the plan "harmful, misleading, and unrealistic." Reports indicated there was no budget or otherwise transparent document published about how the research into the cause of autism would be conducted. Scientific consensus rejects the theory that vaccines cause autism — a notion that originated from a 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, later retracted due to falsified data and ethical violations. Autism is understood as a complex neurodevelopmental condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with possible links to prenatal exposures, maternal health, and parental age. While diagnoses have risen in recent decades, some of the increase was reportedly attributed to broader diagnostic criteria and improved awareness, not only an increase in incidence. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/autism-kennedy-trump-vaccines-rfk-jr-cdc-b66251888f039c80b15beda23c279d5b |title =Kennedy says Health and Human Services will determine the cause of autism by September |author =AMANDA SEITZ |pub =Associated Press |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj0z9nmzvdlo |title =RFK Jr pledges to find the cause of autism 'by September' |author =Mike Wendling |pub =BBC |date =April 11, 2024 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 1qt7p5aobv2memtxwq0tu0q7pvwl1ga 0 3012310 4853295 4853294 2025-04-28T13:24:48Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[No survivors onboard after small plane crashes near Interstate 95 in South Florida]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853294 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Disasters and accidents}} {{date|April 17, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:4X-CCL_Rami_Mizrahi.jpg|thumb|left|A Cessna 310P, similar to the one that crashed near Interstate 95, flying at Herzlia airport]] On Friday, a small plane crashed in {{w|South Florida}} near {{w|Interstate 95}} in {{w|Boca Raton, Florida}}, [[United States]].

The explosion occurred in an area near the offices of the railway company {{w|Hellenic Train}}, which were damaged in the incident, occuring during what was described as "peak traffic hour." The explosive device was discovered inside a backback that was rigged with {{w|padlocks}} and was strapped to a scooter void of license plates or identification. A police {{w|bomb squad}} unit was dispatched with the intention of defusing the bomb before detonation, however, they did not arrive in time to achieve this. The explosion was captured on CCTV security footage. While the explosion appeared to be intentional, the cause remained unknown. The explosion caused "limited material damage," according to a spokesperson for Hellenic Train. The company said in a statement, "Our company unequivocally condemns all forms of violence and tensions that fuel a climate of toxicity that undermines all progress." No fatalities or injuries were reported, though Greece's Transport Minister Christos Staikouras expressed his belief that the incident endangered the lives of railway employees and other pedestrians. He derided the act as "absolutely condemnable." The explosion came two years after a controversy surrounding Hellenic Train involving an incident in 2023 where two passenger trains were erroneously put on the same track, resulting in a crash that killed 57 people, most of whom were young people. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0r51d2r8peo |title = CCTV captures moment of explosion in central Athens |author = Thomas Mackintosh |pub = BBC |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/explosion-hellenic-train-company-athens-882b4fc2d212577aa7ab5d3b1c66c1b9 |title = A bomb strikes near the Athens offices of the Greek railway company.

The incident occurred as the helicopter was taking off the Bird Island, with intention to proceed to Port Elizabeth, and did not result in any injuries for the pilot, three human passengers, or the penguin; the helicopter suffered extensive damage. [[File:Wikimania 2018, Cape Town ( 1050602), crop.jpg|thumb|left|An African penguin. {{image source|Matti Blume}}]] [[File:Jugendlager_2017_Nachmittagsprogramm_(119)_(35258715993).jpg|thumb|left|An example image of a cyclic pitch control lever of a helicopter. {{image source|BFK Vöcklabruck}}]] According to the report, the pilot and three passengers landed on Bird Island, Eastern Cape, on January 19 after conducting the aerial survey that was the purpose of the flight. Subsequently, a "specialist" placed a penguin from the island in a cardboard box, and entered the aircraft with it. "The pilot conducted a risk assessment of the flight; however, he omitted to include the carriage (transportation) of the penguin on-board," the report said. The passenger occupying the left front seat of the helicopter put the box on his lap, but he couldn't hold it in the first several seconds after the take-off. The box fell, and hit the pilot's cyclic pitch control lever as the helicopter was approximately 15m above the ground. Due to the box accidentally pushing the lever far-right, the helicopter rolled to the right. The pilot could not recover in time and the helicopter's main rotor blades struck the ground, causing the accident to occur at location with GPS coordinates 33°50′22.65″ South, 026°17′26.79″ East, at an elevation of 2 feet (ft), approximately 20m from lift-off. The report said the helicopter fell on its side and was damaged, without substantial injuries to people or the animal, and noted it as a hazardous situation, "The lack of secure containment for the penguin created a dangerous situation. The absence of a proper, secured crate meant that the penguin's containment was not suitable for the flight conditions." Bird Island is one of the six key African penguin breeding colonies. They were protected following a landmark court order in South Africa in March 2025. It imposed no-fishing zones around the breeding colonies to prevent so-called purse seine fishing vessels, which use large nets for catching sardines and anchovies, from operating in the area for the next 10 years. == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2025/04/11/safrica-helicopter-crash-penguin-cardboard-box/9611744402560/ |title = Helicopter crash in South Africa blamed on 'unsecured' penguin |author = Ben Hooper |pub = UPI |date = April 11, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn5xx036p4vo |title = Unsecured penguin caused helicopter crash in South Africa |author = Emma Rossiter |pub = BBC |date = April 10, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://caasanwebsitestorage.blob.core.windows.net/accidents-and-incidents-report/10546.pdf |title = Limited occurrence investigation report |author = |pub = South African Civil Aviation Authority |date = April 9, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y0xl8gp14o |title = Last-minute deal to protect African penguins from extinction |author = Gabby Colenso |pub = BBC |date = March 19, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:South Africa]] [[Category:Penguins]] [[Category:Aviation]] [[Category:Aviation accidents and incidents]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] k8kuysozlcfhdo4vp7dmwuml7ag4ko0 0 3012485 4849499 2025-04-14T07:46:14Z Gryllida 160590 Gryllida moved page [[US Health Secretary vows to determine "cause of autism" by September]] to [[US Health Secretary vows to determine cause of autism by September]]: as per talk 4849499 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[US Health Secretary vows to determine cause of autism by September]] oxmdx4bt7potd780e66rgszfn3itkfe 0 3012486 4853307 4853306 2025-04-28T13:25:19Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Pop singer Katy Perry safely returns to Earth from outer space]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853306 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Space}} {{date|April 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:KatyPerryWestminst111224_(81_of_95)_(54206733094)_(cropped_2).jpg|thumb|left|Perry in 2024]] On Monday, {{w|pop music}} singer {{w|Katy Perry}} safely returned to {{w|Earth}}, landing in {{w|Chihuahuan Desert}}, located on the border of [[United States]] and [[Mexico]], after a {{w|sub-orbital spaceflight}} as part of {{w|Jeff Bezos}}'s {{w|space tourism}} program.

The crew, embarking on a mission codenamed "NS-31", launched from "Launch Site One", the liftoff site at Blue Origin’s private ranch in west {{w|Texas}}. The type of rocket was a "{{w|New Shepard}}." The flight lasted approximately 11 minutes, long enough to briefly experience {{w|weightlessness}}. The crew were said to have traveled over one hundred kilometers above the earth's surface. The spacecraft was entirely autonomous and did not require any control input from the crew. Perry reportedly sang the song "{{w|What a Wonderful World}}" to the crew during the descent. Perry said she felt more connected to life and to love upon returning to Earth, stating that she would "definitely" compose lyrics about the experience. She was quoted saying: "This is all for the benefit of Earth. I wanted to model courage and worthiness and fearlessness." == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/04/14/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-blue-origin-space/83046482007/ |pub = USA Today |title = History made: Katy Perry, Gayle King go to space on Blue Origin flight |author = Anna Kaufman and Eric Lagatta |date = April 14, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg8e5gq8ljo |title = Blue Origin crew safely back on Earth after all-female space flight |author = Maddie Molloy and Victoria Gill |pub = BBC |date = April 14, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Space]] [[Category:Tourism]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Musicians]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 24eezs4tyih31b7uhpbzc7jd4zvwzma 102 3012496 4849537 2025-04-14T12:31:26Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4849537 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3012510 4853283 4853282 2025-04-28T13:23:31Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[City park shooting in Conway, Arkansas leaves at least two killed, nine injured]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853282 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|April 14, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{United States}} A shooting happened at the 5th Avenue park in {{w|Conway, Arkansas}} on Sunday night that left two people dead and nine others injured.

Because of Wikipedia's editing process i.e., no review process, they can be more nimble and reactive than Wikinews. I'm not saying that is better—it's just the reality. In that way, I see Wikipedia already exceeding the abilities of Wikinews in providing timely and relevant news to readers (accuracy and bias notwithstanding). Based on that, I don't see a reason for Wikipedians to want to assimilate Wikinews. They already ''replace'' its news-providing function for their readers. :::::::::Aside from that, how does Wikinews not implementing a ShareAlike (SA) provision protect it from assimilation by Wikipedia? :::::::::[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]}) 17:18, 17 February 2024 (UTC) ::::::::::Suppose we are Wikinews; if the content of Wikinews were the same as Wikipedia's, would it still retain any unique characteristics?

Due to differing copyright licenses, replicating content from Wikipedia on Wikinews is a violation of copyright, and such behavior is immediately prevented. Furthermore, Wikinews is subjected to a review process that typically ensures greater accuracy than Wikipedia. By this, I mean that while Creative Commons Share-Alike (CC-SA) might technically aid Wikinews in copying certain templates from Wikipedia and the like, it's not advisable for Wikinews to repurpose Wikipedia's content. Wikinews is capable of independently developing its own distinctive content over the years, thereby establishing a clear distinction from Wikipedia. If readers cannot obtain information on our Wikinews website that is not written on Wikipedia, then it is almost meaningless and devoid of any news value or relevance to the purpose of the Wikinews project.

And that would eventually lead to Wikinews being assimilated by the larger Wikipedia because it essentially becomes the same content. It's an interesting point and an unintended consequence that warrants concern. There are though a number of key differences between the two platforms that are largely incompatible. For example, WP:AGF vs WN:Never_assume or WP:SYNTH vs WN:SYNTH. I would hope that those subtle and not-so-subtle differences would maintain a unique culture between the two that protects against assimilation. ::::::::::::I also think it is important for Wikinews to be able to generate and maintain the backend of the platform, i.e., the tools, scripts, templates, etc. In its current state, I don't see that en.Wikinews has the resources for that.

For more details, see [Template License Page]. ::::::::::::''If we don't list them individually, I also provided other methods to directly link to a dedicated page that clarifies how readers can know which templates use which licensing methods. If we list them, it will be done automatically, and if tools, scripts, and code for templates aren't used, they shouldn't be displayed. Let’s license tools, scripts, and code for templates differently from article content.'' ::::::::::::'''Technological Solutions''' ::::::::::::With today's technology, tools should be available to automatically list the templates used and their licenses at the bottom of each page or in the footer copyright statement. If such tools aren’t available, the traditional method would involve modifying each page's footer to link to a dedicated page listing all template licenses. ::::::::::::''Ideas for Implementation'' ::::::::::::1. Using Wiki Templates ::::::::::::Add a copyright/license template to the bottom or header of Wiki pages to dynamically populate license information for consistency. ::::::::::::2. Wiki Extensions/Plugins ::::::::::::Develop a Wiki extension or plugin to scan page content and generate copyright information, integrating this into the editing and publishing process. Existing extensions like "Pageinformation" and "Variables" may serve as references. ::::::::::::3. Dedicated Namespace ::::::::::::Create a "Copyright" or "License" namespace in the Wiki and link to these namespaces on relevant pages to centralize copyright information. Templates or Lua scripts can automate link generation. ::::::::::::Creating a Copyright Template Page ::::::::::::4. Template Structure ::::::::::::Create a page such as Template:Copyright to define the structure and content of the copyright statement template. ::::::::::::''Template Content Design'' ::::::::::::Use Wiki template syntax to define the format, including information like copyright holder, license type, and effective date. Variables or template parameters can dynamically insert specific content. ::::::::::::Example Template: ::::::::::::{{Copyright2 ::::::::::::|holder=Example Wiki ::::::::::::|license=Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) ::::::::::::|date=2024 ::::::::::::}} ::::::::::::'''Referencing and Deployment''' ::::::::::::Template Usage: On Wiki pages needing a copyright statement, insert a call to the copyright template at the bottom or [[MediaWiki:Copyright]]: ::::::::::::{{tl|Copyright2}} ::::::::::::Testing and Deployment / Maintenance and Updates: ::::::::::::Test the rendering of the template to ensure correct display of copyright information. Develop a process for deploying the copyright template to all relevant pages, considering automation for bulk updates. Regularly check and update the copyright template for accuracy regarding copyright holders and licenses. Ensure all relevant pages reference the latest copyright template and establish processes for any copyright policy changes.

The Creative Commons (CC) licenses have different versions, and each version may have slight variations in the terms and conditions. Here are the main differences between the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 (CC BY 2.5) and Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) licenses: ;1. Internationalization and Legal Code Updates *CC BY 2.5: The 2.5 license is not as thoroughly internationalized. It was mainly designed with the legal frameworks of a few specific jurisdictions in mind. *CC BY 4.0: This version is fully internationalized, meaning it's designed to be universally applicable across different legal systems worldwide. The legal language and terms have been refined to accommodate various legal traditions and interpretations globally. ;2. Terminology and Clarity *CC BY 2.5: Uses older terminology and might be less clear in some areas compared to newer versions. *CC BY 4.0: Introduces more precise language and definitions to reduce ambiguity and increase clarity for international users. ;3. Moral Rights and Database Rights *CC BY 2.5: The handling of moral rights and database rights is less explicitly addressed. *CC BY 4.0: Specifically addresses moral rights (rights of attribution and integrity) and database rights, providing more comprehensive and clear guidelines on how these rights are managed under the license. ;4. Additional Terms and License Interpretation *CC BY 2.5: Includes fewer provisions related to additional terms. *CC BY 4.0: Allows licensors to add specific terms and conditions as long as they don't contradict the license. It also includes more guidance on the interpretation and enforcement of the license. ;5. Attribution Requirements *CC BY 2.5: Attribution requirements are somewhat less detailed. *CC BY 4.0: Provides more detailed requirements for attribution, making it clearer what users need to do to properly attribute the original creator. ;6. Adaptation and ShareAlike Compatibility *CC BY 2.5: Adaptation terms are present but less developed. *CC BY 4.0: Has clearer terms on what constitutes an adaptation and how adaptations should be handled, ensuring better compatibility with other licenses, including more detailed terms on share alike and compatibility with other licenses. ;7. Technical Protection Measures (TPM) *CC BY 2.5: The stance on technical protection measures (such as DRM) is less detailed. *CC BY 4.0: Clearly prohibits the application of TPMs to licensed works in a way that restricts others from exercising the licensed rights. ;8. General Provisions and Warranties *CC BY 2.5: Contains fewer general provisions. *CC BY 4.0: Includes updated general provisions and disclaimers, such as a more detailed disclaimer of warranties and liability, which offers better legal protection to licensors. In summary, CC BY 4.0 is more detailed, clearer, and better adapted to international use than CC BY 2.5. It also includes improved provisions for handling moral and database rights, attribution requirements, and additional terms, making it a more robust and versatile licensing option. [End] I hope this will make it easier if/when other language versions discuss the change of license. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 05:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC) : (прошу прощения за русский язык) Тема перехода на новую лицензию очень важно.

This marks the PAP's 16th successive election triumph {{w|1959 Singaporean general election|since 1959}}. The main opposition party, the {{w|Workers' Party (Singapore)|Workers' Party}} (WP), took 14.99% of the vote — 50.04% in constituencies it contested in — and twelve seats, comprising ten directly elected seats with the addition of two seats accorded to the {{w|Non-constituency Member of Parliament|"best losers"}}, bringing the total number of seats to 99. The vote was the first significant electoral test for Prime Minister {{w|Lawrence Wong}}, who {{w|Lawrence Wong to become Prime Minister of Singapore on May 15|took over}} from current Senior Minister {{w|Lee Hsien Loong}} on May 15, 2024. The electoral campaign lasted just nine days, among the world's shortest, followed by a Cooling-off Day, when no campaigning was allowed. 97 seats were originally up for grabs, up from the current 93, across 18 {{w|Group representation constituency|Group Representation Constituencies}} (GRCs) and 15 Single Member Constituencies (SMCs). However, in a shock development, the WP decided not to contest {{w|Marine Parade–Braddell Heights Group Representation Constituency|Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC}} as it had done in the past two elections, resulting in a walkover for the PAP, the first since 2011. The PAP has held a {{w|Supermajority|supermajority}} in Parliament since 1959, the longest uninterrupted governing party among modern multiparty {{w|Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracies}}. In {{w|14th Parliament of Singapore|the current, outgoing parliament}}, the PAP holds a supermajority of 83 of 93 directly elected seats, with 11 additional seats allocated to the "best losers" and {{w|Nominated Member of Parliament|nominated members of parliament}}.

He was rescued in the same geographical area he was kidnapped in. After his rescue, his condition was described by authorities as "miraculously unharmed." South Africa's elite police unit, known as the {{w|Hawks (South Africa)|Hawks}}, were involved in the investigation. According to authorities, the rescue operation involved "verified intelligence wherein a coordinated team [...] moved swiftly to the identified location." When authorities approached the residence they believed to be Sullivan's location, suspects attempted to escape by vehicle, and promptly opened fire on the authorities. "The officers responded with tactical precision, leading to a high-intensity shootout in which three unidentified suspects were fatally wounded," according to Hawks spokesperson Avele Fumba. Sullivan was recovered unharmed from the vehicle, and a subsequent medical evaluation found him to be in "excellent condition." Four armed men had raided a religious sermon that Sullivan was leading on Thursday, April 10, and had kidnapped him at gunpoint. They had escaped in his own vehicle. It had been believed that the suspects had been monitoring Sullivan's family, as the suspects apparently had known Sullivan's name, according to witness Jeremy Hall. Sullivan's vehicle had been discovered nearby, though Sullivan had been nowhere to be found. Sullivan is a self-described "church planting missionary." He and his family relocated to South Africa from {{w|Tennessee}} in 2018. His wife and six children were among the witnesses to his abduction. Abundant with gang activity and illegal weapons trade, South Africa has seen an increase in similar kidnappings and gun violence in recent years, which some have attributed to poverty and inequality. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9ez20mgvdo |title = US pastor kidnapped during church service in South Africa found after shoot-out |author = Khanyisile Ngcobo |pub = BBC |date = April 16, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/04/16/us-pastor-josh-sullivan-kidnapped-in-south-africa-rescued/83113171007/ |title = US pastor kidnapped in South Africa rescued unharmed after police shootout |pub = USA Today |date = April 16, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://people.com/us-pastor-missing-after-allegedly-being-kidnapped-during-south-africa-church-service-11714236 |title = U.S. Pastor Missing After Allegedly Being Kidnapped at Gunpoint During Church Service in South Africa: 'Pray for His Safe Return' |author = Brenton Blanchet |pub = People |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-pastor-josh-sullivan-abducted-gunpoint-sermon-south-africa/ |title = U.S. pastor abducted at gunpoint while delivering sermon in South Africa: "They knew him by name" |author = |pub = CBS News |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y6xq4ex1ro |title = US pastor kidnapped during church service in South Africa |author = Danai Nesta Kupemba |pub = BBC |date = April 11, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.wvlt.tv/2025/04/11/its-devastating-family-maryville-pastor-kidnapped-south-africa-asking-prayers/ |title = ‘It’s devastating’: Family of Maryville pastor kidnapped in South Africa asking for prayers |author = Camruinn Morgan-Rumsey |pub = WVLT |date = April 11, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:South Africa]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Religion]] [[Category:United States]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 4g55jymxhne2g0iliva0udphlq2ikiq 0 3012658 4850981 4850130 2025-04-20T10:05:45Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4850981 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Several suspects dead in South Africa after shootout results in the rescue of abducted US pastor]] 7d5a4d1qzpwfu5h7hjknuytdwql0hpp 0 3012661 4850169 2025-04-16T13:03:54Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Several suspects dead in South Africa after shootout results in the rescue of kidnapped US pastor]] to [[Several suspects dead in South Africa after shootout results in the rescue of abducted US pastor]] 4850169 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Several suspects dead in South Africa after shootout results in the rescue of abducted US pastor]] 7d5a4d1qzpwfu5h7hjknuytdwql0hpp 0 3012667 4853313 4853312 2025-04-28T13:25:37Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Protester tasered and arrested at town hall hosted by US Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853312 wikitext text/x-wiki {{US politics}} {{date|April 21, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> On Tuesday evening, a protester was {{w|Taser|tasered}} and arrested by police at a town hall event in {{w|Acworth, Georgia}}, held by {{w|Marjorie Taylor Greene}}, a Republican US congresswoman from Georgia.

Attendees shouted at Greene during the town hall, though she was not approached by any of them during the incident. The congresswoman expressed her belief that the police acted accordingly with their use of force.

The attack occurred inside of the girl's own home. Another teenager who was present inside the residence at that time reported seeing the {{w|lioness}} snatch the girl before alerting others. Authorities stated that there was no evidence that the attack was the result of provocation of any sort by the victim or the witness. It was believed that the lioness was drawn to the residential area due to food scarcity, and gained access by scaling a "makeshift" fence. According to KWS, rangers and response teams were quickly mobilized and followed a trail of bloodstains that led to the {{w|Mbagathi River}}, where the girl's body was recovered. She had sustained injuries to her lower back. As of Friday, the lioness had not yet been located. Authorities set traps, and search teams conducted sweeps across the area in an effort to track down the lioness. Attacks on humans by lions are rare in {{w|Africa}}, especially when not related to livestock. KWS officials have stated that discussions were being held to "reinforce security measures" in an effort to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. In an unrelated incident a day prior, a 54-year-old man was killed by an {{w|elephant}} in {{w|Nyeri County, Kenya}}, the KWS said. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://people.com/14-year-old-girl-killed-by-lion-kenya-11718666 |title = Girl, 14, Dies After Being Attacked by Lion in Home in Kenya: Reports |author = Michael Nied |pub = People |date = April 21, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd6jxl4pl03o |title = Girl, 14, killed by lion in Kenya |author = Joseph Winter |pub = BBC |date = April 20, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lion-kills-girl-elephant-kills-man-kenya/ |title = Lion kills 14-year-old girl, elephant kills man in separate incidents in Kenya |author = |pub = CBS News |date = April 20, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Kenya]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] [[Category:Africa]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 8umfw7izhhqachohw7xid2jgnr96v61 0 3012950 4851238 2025-04-21T00:36:54Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Lion kills teenage girl in Kenya]] to [[Lion mauls, kills teenage girl in Kenya]] 4851238 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Lion mauls, kills teenage girl in Kenya]] khw4u1ygsrgtc4uvn3w5370bhiy8q0q 102 3012961 4851261 2025-04-21T04:55:40Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4851261 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3012978 4851294 2025-04-21T10:29:50Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4851294 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3012982 4851309 2025-04-21T10:56:00Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4851309 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3013008 4853321 4853320 2025-04-28T13:26:02Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Pope Francis dies at age 88]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853320 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Obituaries}} {{date|April 22, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Pope Francis Korea Haemi Castle 19.jpg|left|thumb|200x200px| 2014 Pastoral Visit of Pope Francis to Korea; Closing Mass for Asian Youth Day]] [[Pope Francis]] (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio) {{w|Death and funeral of Pope Francis|passed away}} at age 88, on April 21, 2025, 7:35 a.m. local time in Vatican City.

I keep seeing a huge backlog in the newsroom. Worse, it's a backlog that includes many well-written ready and nearly ready articles. I believe my years of drafting here have given me a strong track record with Wikinews' style, neutrality and sourcing policies. The review system is where Wikinews adds value. We use publicly available sources, so we're not giving the readers information they couldn't get elsewhere. What we offer is an answer to the question, "Why should I believe what I'm reading?" in the form of "Because at least two people with a publicly accessible record of neutrality and no ulterior motive examined it." This has significance in the era of fake news and echo chamber algorithms. ====Stats==== {{RfP/stats|Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24}} ====Questions and comments==== *{{comment}} Darkfrog24 wrote a lovely story about airplane crash with sole survivor. I write one duplicated. At talk page I requested merge. I was about to go to sleep. Darkfrog24's day was just starting. He replied "it is optional" and did not merge. A reviewer published his story. 8 hours were wasted. Now got less than 24 hours to shove mergeable content and sight the edit. With reviewers scarse, I am so disgusted by this attitude . When reviewing, if Tom leaves a note "lets merge from elsewhere", are you planning to say "is optional" and publish anyway, or will you make an attempt to reach out to someone and ask them to marge, even if after review? With the currect reactions, I am thinking that alas no attempt to work on optional items is to be expected.

I define must-have as changes required by factual reality, Wikinews policy, or longstanding Wikinews precedent. I consider this parallel to the English Wikipedia's rule that sources do not always need to be cited but do always need to exist. The reviewer does not need to link to a Wikinews policy or precedent in every reveiew but does need to be able to if challenged.

The discussion at [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:New_York_county_clerk_says_Texas_cannot_fine_abortion_doctor&diff=prev&oldid=4847076 this page] is, while timely, involving refusing to add citation for a non-current background info, with the back and forth taking more time and causing more delays than adding a source. Further, https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Darkfrog24/Speed#Bad_reasons_to_tell_other_Wikinewsies_to_do_extra_work includes "I am a reviewer. Writing articles is beneath me". I think this is utopical thought for ideal world when reviewers are plentiful. It indicates the unwillingness to work with current situation. The users who volunteered to enslave themselves at {{tl|pingrr}} , who are enormously helpful in my review and publish rates since around a month ago, would possibly not write nor agree with such a quote as noted above. '''''I think it is required for reviewer to understand the current situation, be able to compromise, and to do fixes which are quicker, not more stubborn'''''. I hope this perspective is helpful. Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 18:42, 5 May 2025 (UTC) ::[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], you quoted DarkFrog24 as saying, "no, we dont need any clearer 'When' than 'this week.'" I wasn’t able to find that exact phrasing in the diff, the talk page, or the history. I wonder if you may have been paraphrasing this statement instead: "The time is indeed given: 'This week.' That is verbatim per listed sources. It is not as precise as we'd like, but it is fully accurate." ::You also quoted DarkFrog24 as saying, "I am a reviewer. Writing articles is beneath me." That line appears in a draft essay, in a section titled "Bad reasons to tell other Wikinewsies to do extra work." In that context, it seems intended as an illustrative example—not a personal claim or reflection of their own views. ::Another quote cited was, "I don't feel that's necessary, but go ahead and change it however you like." I interpreted this as a case where DarkFrog24 disagreed, but deferred to others’ judgment rather than pressing the point—an approach that could be seen as pragmatic or conciliatory. ::Regarding your comment: "I think it is required for reviewer to understand the current situation, be able to compromise, and to do fixes which are quicker, not more stubborn," I’d like to gently suggest that labeling someone as "stubborn" can come across as attributing intent or rigidity, which might not reflect the full picture. ::In fact, I believe some of the examples you referenced show flexibility. For instance, in the statement: "I don't feel that's necessary, but go ahead and change it however you like," I see a willingness to compromise. Similarly, after publication, DarkFrog24 wrote: "If I'd have had more time, I might have liked to add factual sources to the effect of 'There is scientific evidence that...'"—which seems to acknowledge both editorial trade-offs and the value of timely publication. ::In the example from [[Talk:New York county clerk says Texas cannot fine abortion doctor]], DarkFrog24 was responding to [[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]], who had written: "Here, there is the PROFOUNDLY delicate dance surrounding 'Neutrality' in our coverage. Sometimes, we have to use the (arguable ''lesser'' tool of 'balance' — it's a complicated dance and always will be." ::I was also involved in reviewing that article and, like Bddpaux, found the discussion thoughtful and constructive. I didn’t find DarkFrog24 to be argumentative or obstructive in their responses. In fact, one of their comments struck me as a strong example of meeting the standard you outlined. In response to my feedback, they said: "By all means, phrase it as you see fit for our international audience. Or take it out. I prefer things as I had them, but I prefer getting Wikinews timely content more." In that debate, no one insisted "their version" must be published (and the debate is on-going, there is now a pending correction to the article). ::To be clear, I’m assuming good faith—that these are simply differing interpretations of tone in text-based discussions, rather than intentional mischaracterizations of DarkFrog24’s statements. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 21:52, 5 May 2025 (UTC) :::Thank you for your kind words. You have interpreted my essay correctly. :::To be fair to Gryllida, there is some history here. Gryllida and I have talked about this issue together enough for me to feel confident that this is what's going on: Gryllida doesn't only want the article text to be a certain way; G also wants the drafter (me in this case) to be the one to change it. G wanted me to put in the time, look up the sources, click "edit," replace what I saw as good text with what I saw as either bad or not-bad-but-not-worth-it text, and then take full responsibility for that new version of the article. By saying "Change the article however you like," I am indeed also saying, "I'm not going to change it for you." Gryllida is not imagining that. :::I do not like this aspect of the review process. I believe that as long as Project Wiki's official policies and guidelines say "every editor(/Wikinewsie) is responsible for the edits made on their account," then every Wikinewsie must be allowed to walk away from reviewer instructions, even if that means the article does not get published, and I would incorporate this into my role as a reviewer.

"defer" is not an accurate word. I can defer because I wana sleep. I am objecting "defering because I think the reviewer's request looks unreasonable to me". So I would phrase this as: ''I prefer that, in case author is available, they do not use "I disagree with you" as an excuse to defer. Other excuses, whether written or not (i.e. sleep, dinner, etc) are still valid. It is preferred to leave a 'I am going to not be here, please work it out in my absence' note, rather than disappearing silently. So in order of priority: 1. constructiive respobse be it edit or rebuttal 2. note "i will be away for a bit sorry honestly could not be available now" 3. note "i will be away for a bit cuz I disagree with you [but maybe I will still be on wiki for a few hours, I just do not wish to talk with you]".'' :::::::2.

Walking away is OK if a reason is "I will be busy with some other commitment and would be happy to work with you and with the article if I could, but unfortunately I cannot". :::::::4. Discussions like this are OK in Wikipedia, where good faith is assumed and work is not time sensitive. At Wikinews it is not the case. Discussing content is much more constructive use of time here than discussing behaviours. If there is a need to discuss behaviour and obtain communication skills for with unreasonable reviewers, the Wikinews home page has a list of sister wikis where this may be pursued. I would suggest Darkfrog24 to check them out. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 14:34, 7 May 2025 (UTC) :::::::MCW, I think what's going on here is that Gryllida-on-Wikinews operates in a mental space in which there is no such thing as a bad or shouldn't-be-done reviewer suggestion/order, and I don't. I don't know whether Gryllida sincerely beieves there is no such thing as a bad/SBD review comment, whether Gryllida believes that drafters must pretend there is no such thing, or whether there is some third rationale in play. That is the difference between Gryllida and myself that you and our fellow Wikinewsies should consider with respect to my request for reviewership. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 18:20, 7 May 2025 (UTC) {{outdent|7}}I wonder if the disconnect comes from a shift in review philosophy, where more reviewers now suggest editorial changes rather than focusing solely on mechanical issues such as verifiability, neutrality, balance, and grammar. If that is the case, it may be time for the community to discuss and clarify its expectations of reviewers. What are your thoughts on editorial suggestions from reviewers? Do you see any editorial suggestions in [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Rally_against_reform_attracts_thousands_of_Islamist_group,_supporters_in_Bangladesh&oldid=4855327 your pre-review] (thank you for doing that)? I agree with your point that no one should be expected to endorse an edit they do not support. In the case of [[New York county clerk says Texas cannot fine abortion doctor]], I did not want a particular statement published under my name, while you preferred it remain unchanged. Reviewers can have the final say in such cases by publishing an article with their preferred edits, but with that comes responsibility for the version that is ultimately published. I often feel that corrections stem from a reviewer failing to catch a critical issue. On that point, I believe we are in agreement. I think you handled the situation well. You gave me the green light to make the change, making clear it would be mine to implement and appear under my name. The outcome is still uncertain, and perhaps a correction is less desirable than if I had made the edit myself at the time—but in that moment, I was also deferring. That said, I now see more clearly that Gryllida’s concern may not be about deferral in general, but about whether deferral actually helps move the collaboration forward. A response like “I don’t feel that’s necessary, but go ahead and change it however you like” avoids blocking the change, but it does not resolve the disagreement, especially when the issue involves policy or factual accuracy. From that perspective, it seems Gryllida is encouraging more active engagement, not just a willingness to yield, but a commitment to helping the article reach a publishable state through dialogue and shared responsibility. @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], just to clarify, is your view that when a reviewer requests an edit, that request carries any authoritative weight? Or is it simply a suggestion that the author may challenge, as long as they do so constructively? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 21:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC) :I as reviewer am recently more lenient than normal. I copyedit. I request changes only if an essential item was not done like answering 5W, plagiarism, or neutrality. In half cases I publish anyway and ask for the supposedly essential edit to be made after publishing. So I am not sure where the first paragraph about editorial changes and requesting community discussion came from. If anything, I am not being tough in my requests, I am going '''easy'''. :Does a reviewer request carry authoritative weight? It has a few characteristics. 1. On one side it is usually correct. Not always. But usually. 2. That reviewer did 90% of the leg work to review and almost publish, bar the requested edit. More likely than not, this will be the same reviewer who continues to review the article. Avoiding interaction with that reviewer slows things down. 3. Maybe reviewer was wrong. More often than not, they are open to dialogue. If they are not approachable, or are unreasonable repeatedly, I welcome you to make a request to revoke their reviewer permissions. 4. If another reviewer does review a next revision, they need to tick a "I checked talk page, and all concerns from it were addressed to my satisfaction". Basically it means unless there is a good reason to dismiss a request from a previous review, the reviewer2 will expect it to be addressed. -- So from points 1 and 2, and 4, I like to treat request from rwviewer as "needs some effort to address it fully". It is not authoritative in the sense like you must listen to (police officer, school teacher, parent), but you '''should''' come up with a reasonable response. You are not going to jail if you don't, but you may get either blocked or your articles put to the bottom of a reviewer's to-review list if you consistently ignore reviewers. Some kind of penalty will eventually follow. Ignoring a request from a reviewer is a bad idea. :Same applies to any note on a talk page, such as that made in non-reviewer capacity. If it has meaning, a next reviewer will honour it. There are some foolish users with foolish requests. It is best to write a rebuttal to them. Not to write "I disagree, I await someone else to do it". :Hope it helps. I cannot check specific diff from the smart phone easily, as it will unload this tab. I will follow up on this later. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 21:50, 7 May 2025 (UTC) :{{tq|Do you see any editorial suggestions in your pre-review}} Less of a suggestion than a comment, I refer to the drafter's choice of "20 thousand" vs "20,000." The closest thing to an editorial suggestion that I used was noting that the article really should say whether the attendees were men or women. You will note that this is marked as a could-use under the Empok Nor metaphor. If this had been the article's only flaw and I had been its reviewer, I would have hit "publish" in favor of getting it to the readers in a timely manner. However, since the article did have other problems, I made note of it for the drafters to fix. (And since I was not its reviwer, I fixed it myself.) This issue came up for me a lot as a drafter: The reviewer would ask for information that the sources didn't have. The "the article doesn't say when"/"It does say when; 'this week'" is a mild example of this. :{{tq|but with that comes responsibility for the version that is ultimately published}} Yes, that's what I'm talking about. :{{tq|avoids blocking the change, but it does not resolve the disagreement}} There is no short-term way to resolve the disagreement. During the Pi zero era, which is when Gryllida and I established our opinions of each other, 1) showing the reviewer proof that they were wrong did not work because the reviewer or a third party would pick a fight (example: A link to Purdue Owl showing which English usage is correct; link to previous Wikinews article that that specific reviewer had either drafted or reviewed), 2) on two separate articles, I humored Gryllida and did what G wanted even though I didn't believe in it, and that resulted in my annoying and being embarassed in front of an interviewee and in an escalation of unreasonable demands, respectively, 3) using Wikinews' official conflict resolution system did not work because it's pretty much an empty relic and didn't bring in a single respondant. (Counterexample: On the English Wikipedia, it's possible to call a request for comment, and people who don't know either party show up to it within a reasonable time.) Walking away may not be a ''good'' solution, but all the others resulted in fights and other trouble. In my experience, reviewers from the Pi zero era were not "open to dialogue." If they are now, then that is a good change. :There are some other things from G's comment that don't match my experience, but this thread is not a referendum on the state of Wikinews from 2016 to 2020. :There is a long-term solution. When the reviewer makes a shouldn't-be-done review comment, then ''that'' article might time out, but maybe the other party, or a bystander, might see the proof offered and quietly refrain from making a similar review comment on a future article. Because no one would ever know, there is no risk of I-told-you-so. :{{tq| especially when the issue involves policy or factual accuracy}} In those cases, I propose linking to the policy or to proof of the factual issue&mdash;the Empok Nor system.

I understood now why you mentioned editorial edit requests. You weren't asking me, you were asking Darkfrog24. I didn't realize that at the time of replying. Sorry. :I looked at the pre-review linked. I would say that the Darkfrog24's reviewing feedback is a mixture of immediately actionable items and English language impressions and American English impressions, the latter two being a mixture of requirements and not requirements. Some curiosity and inquisitive discussions are attempted. I find issue with that they are like an art drawing. They are a messy mix. I believe that Darkfrog25's articles have the same feature. :"''On first pass, this draft seems very solid. The choice to say "20 thousand" instead of "20,000" stands out to me as an American, but it is probably very digestible to international readers. What strikes me as a flaw is the absence of a key piece of information: Were the protests all/mostly men, both men and women, or all/mostly women? Because this article is about women's rights, that's very relevant. The only reason to let it go without saying would be if that information is not available to us. -- Upon reviewing the sources, I see that they do indeed not give this information in the body text, only in the photographs that show what appear to be exclusively male faces. The best thing to do would be to add such a photograph if one is available to us or to say, "Photographs of the event published by [entity] show a [male faces]." However, given the borderline nature of this issue, I would not refrain from off on publishing this draft for this reason alone.''" :Meaning: :"1) Our style guide requires writing 20,000 instead of 20 thousand. This is a minor note. I didn't check what the style guides says, there is no action required for this point. :2) Essential information is missing about gender composition of the protesters, which appears relevant in context of protesting against women's rights. This needs to be specific and the source of this information needs to be [[WN:Attribute|attributed]] as there is no official count. This is a request for a major edit involving change of content meaning. :Please revise and re-submit for review." :The articles written by Darkfrog24 feature somewhat similar dynamics. They are wordy. There is an attempt at adding analytical element. For example, in that protest there is no official count whether they were male or female. It seems like an attempt at analysis to highlight gender participation. There is something that bothers me about it. While it is a newsworthy and fresh information, it is rather controversial. And it is not that essential. If it is written 'Who', answered as '1000 protesters' or '900 males and 100 females', it makes article more specific, but this is not required to include. In this situation with all other issues answered I would publish first and say that this information can be added within 24 hours. There is no official 'publish asap if 5Ws are answered, no copyvio, style ok - no delays - all bonus info added later', but this is the workflow that I am using for now. :I am concerned that this way of thinking affects clarity of reviews in the sense that the author requires effort to understand what work needs to be done, and the content of the articles becomes affected as it is not absolutely consistent. :On a side note, that particular article is missing essential information that there was recent new election and the protesters were appealing to the new government hoping it would reverse the charges against some of the people in the community who were protesting. I cannot phrase this more clearly. The talk page of the article includes a note to that effect from [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]]. So these additional details can be obtained by reading talk page and checking article edit history. :I hope that this feedback about pre-reviews is interesting to @[[User:Md Mobashir Hossain|Md Mobashir Hossain]] as he suggested Darkfrog24 to do several pre-reviews as part of application for reviewing.

For example, they [[Special:Diff/4855324|added]] a note about the rally participants being exclusively male, even though none of the English-language sources made any mention of the gender demographic in the event, and reframed the lead paragraph to say that opposition to women's rights was not their main demand, despite most sources clearly emphasizing that point (I'm not insinuating that my article was great). :However, there are four main reasons that tipped me into supporting: :1) This appears to be an isolated lapse in judgement. I looked at the [[Talk:Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer's ankle monitor found in fire#Pre-review as part of request for reviewership|other pre-review]], and it appears solid. They have been helpful to some new editors such as [[User talk:ThePhyMan|ThePhyMan]] and especially [[User talk:Melledelle|Melledelle]];<br> :2) Darkfrog24 is a long-term editor, with over [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/en.wikinews/Darkfrog24 9,000 edits] since 2013. They are active here for far longer than I have been on either Wikipedia or Wikidata. They have also written [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/en.wikinews.org/Darkfrog24 over 300 articles]. It's hard to write that many articles without gaining a lot of insight into the creator-reviewer interactions;<br> :3) Darkfrog's [[Special:Diff/4847097|opinion]] that reviewers are not always right is one which I happen to share. Self-reflection is an important trait on the part of both drafters and reviewers. I think the [[WN:Reviewing articles|peer review process]] would be significantly improved if we had more regular editors and reviewers scrutinizing each other's edits, which leads me to the last point<br> :4) en.wn absolutely needs more active reviewers. Yeah, I know that this is not really a comment about Darkfrog24's character or competence. But it's hard to overstate the [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The problem|dire situation]] this project is facing. They would be enormously helpful in crushing [[:Category:Review|the backlog]]. :Overall, while I have some misgivings that Darkfrog24 may insert undue editorial commentary into the articles and/or approve articles containing such commentary, I think they will have a positive effect as a reviewer.

Wikinews regrets the oversight.}} {{date|April 23, 2025}} {{Template:Science and technology}} On Wednesday, April 16, the {{w|University of Essex}}, {{w|England}}, reported that researchers had, for the first time, recorded footage of a {{w|colossal squid}}, a member of the {{w|glass squid}} family (Cranchiidae), living in the {{w|deep sea}}. The sighting of the 30-centimeter juvenile squid took place on March 9 near the uninhabited {{w|South Sandwich Islands}}, part of a {{w|British Overseas Territory}} in the South Atlantic Ocean. Researchers obtained the footage roughly 600 meters beneath the ocean’s surface. The sighting marked 100 years since the colossal squid was formally recognized and named. The remotely operated vehicle called {{w|ROV SuBastian|"SuBastian"}} that captured the photographs and video was launched from the {{w|Schmidt Ocean Institute}}’s {{w|RV Falkor Too|research vehicle Falkor (too)}}. It was part of a 35-day {{W|Ocean Census}} flagship expedition searching for new marine life. According to the Schmidt Ocean Institute, the 35-day voyage aboard the R/V Falkor (too) was part of an international effort to discover new marine species. The expedition brought together researchers from several institutions and initiatives, including the Ocean Census project and GoSouth, with Dr Michelle Taylor from the University of Essex leading the scientific team. Dr Taylor said, "It’s incredible that we can leverage the power of the taxonomic community through Falkor (too) telepresence while we are out at sea." Deep-sea biologist Kat Bolstad of Auckland University of Technology, who did not take part in the expedition, helped identify the species shown in the footage. "We're finally seeing confirmed footage of this animal that some of us have been studying and dreaming about for decades." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2025-04-17/first-time-colossal-squid-filmed-natural-habitat/105185924 |title = Colossal squid filmed in deep-sea natural habitat for the first time, but it's just a juvenile |author = Peter de Kruijff |pub = ABC |date = April 17, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.essex.ac.uk/news/2025/04/16/university-of-essex-expedition-captures-first-confirmed-footage-of-a-colossal-squid |title = First footage of Colossal Squid captured on Essex-led expedition |author = |pub = University of Essex |date = April 16, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source|url=https://schmidtocean.org/first-colossal-squid-footage/|title=First Confirmed Footage of a Colossal Squid—and it’s a Baby!|author=|pub=Schmidt Ocean Institute|date=April 15, 2025}} {{Publish}} [[Category:Biology]] [[Category:Marine science]] [[Category:Science and technology]]{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] n12tlb086510y9bl51eo8gincgpk4ww 0 3013038 4853327 4853326 2025-04-28T13:26:45Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Man arrested after driving wrong way on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853326 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|April 24, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> A man from {{w|Lowell, Massachusetts}} was arrested Monday after driving the wrong way on {{w|Interstate 93}} in {{w|New Hampshire}} near Exit 34C in {{w|Franconia Notch}} at 11 p.m. Sunday night said {{w|state police}}.

The victim was identified as Barak Tzach, a 40-year-old father of four. The shark attack was the country's first fatal shark attack incident since Israel's founding in 1948, and its fourth in general; the first shark attack recorded near this coast was a fatal one in the 1940s. Tzach's remains were found in the same location where the attack occurred, after a search lasting two days; the beach had been closed by the authorities immediately after the attack. Beachgoers at Olga Beach, some of whom were on holiday, witnessing the incident filmed it and posted it to social media. "I was in the water, I saw blood and there were screams. [...] It's terrifying. We were here yesterday and saw the sharks circling us." Endangered dusky and sandbar sharks have reportedly been frequenting the location for decades, especially in winter --- possibly due to the warm water released near {{w|Hadera}} by {{w|Orot Rabin}}, the largest power plant in Israel.

It is primarily for specifying the [[World Geodetic System|WGS84]] geographic coordinates of locations on [[Earth]], at the same time emitting a machine-readable [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]]. However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth. * To specify celestial coordinates, use {{tl|Sky}} instead. * Tag articles which lack coordinates (but need them) with {{tl|Coord missing}}. * If the subject's location is truly unknown or disputed, note this with {{tl|Coord unknown}}. * If the coordinates were [[meta:Wikidata/Notes/Inclusion syntax|transcluded from Wikidata]], use {{tl|WikidataCoord}}. See also: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates]]. ==Features== Latitude and longitude may be specified (with appropriate precision) either in decimal notation or as degrees/minutes/seconds. By default, coordinates appear in the format used to specify them. However, the <code>format=</code> parameter can be used to force display in a particular format. The template also accepts and displays coordinates formatted as degrees and decimal minutes as found on charts and maritime references. The template displays the formatted coordinates with a [[hyperlink]] to [[mw:GeoHack|GeoHack]]. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services. For terrestrial locations, a blue globe ([[Image:Erioll_world.svg|18px]]) appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates the [[:meta:WikiMiniAtlas|WikiMiniAtlas]] (requires [[JavaScript]]). By default, coordinates appear "in line" with the adjacent text. However, the <code>display=</code> parameter can be used to move the coordinates up near the page title (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view)—or display them in both places at once. The template outputs coordinates in three formats: * [[Degree (angle)|Degree]]/[[Minute of arc|minutes]]/[[Second of arc|seconds]] ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input precision). * [[Decimal degrees]] (varying the number of decimal places based on input precision) * A machine readable [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]]. Additional features * Logged-in users can [[#Per-user_display_customization|customize]] how coordinates appear in their browsers. * You can get coordinates from Wikidata by transcluding this template without any numbered arguments. * You can extract information from the Coord template for use in mathematical expressions. For details, see [[:Module:Coordinates]]. * All coordinates used in a page through this template are registered in the [[mw:API:Geosearch|geosearch API]]. If a coordinate is using title display, then these coordinates will be marked as the primary coordinates with regards to the page and therefore the topic of that page. ==Caveats== The template '''must not''' be modified without prior discussion. External tools can depend on the format of both the wikitext and/or the generated html. Pages with many inline coordinates may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's [[WP:PEIS|Post-expand include size]] limit. In these cases, consider using {{ml|Coordinates|coord}} instead: * {{tlx|Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display{{=}}inline}} → {{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=inline}} (1,544 bytes) * {{mlx|Coordinates|coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display{{=}}inline}} → {{#invoke:Coordinates|coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=inline}} (772 bytes) == Usage == '''&#123;{coord|'''''latitude'''''|'''''longitude'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}&#125;''' '''&#123;{coord|'''''dd'''''|'''''N/S'''''|'''''dd'''''|'''''E/W'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}&#125;''' '''&#123;{coord|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''N/S'''''|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''E/W'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}&#125;''' '''&#123;{coord|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''ss'''''|'''''N/S'''''|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''ss'''''|'''''E/W'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}&#125;''' The hemisphere identifiers (''N/S'') and (''E/W''), if used, must be adjacent to the enclosing pipe "'''<code>|</code>'''" characters, and cannot be preceded or succeeded by spaces. There are two kinds of parameters, all optional: *<span id="1">'''Coordinate parameters'''</span> are parameters that {{tl|Coord}} passes to the map server. These have the format ''parameter:value'' and are separated from each other by the underscore character ( _ ). The supported coordinate parameters are ''dim:'', ''globe:'', ''region:'', ''scale:'', ''source:'', and ''type:''. See [[#Coordinate parameters|coordinate parameters]] for details and examples. *<span id="2">'''Template parameters'''</span> are parameters used by the {{tl|Coord}} template. These have format ''parameter=value'' and are separated from each other by the pipe character ( | ). The supported template parameters are ''display='', ''format='', ''name='', and ''notes=''. :* '''display=''' can be one of the following: ::* <code>display=inline</code> – Display the coordinate inline (default) ::* <code>display=title</code> – Display the coordinate at the top of the article, beside the article's title (replaces {{tl|coor title dms}} family; coordinates are displayed in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view) ::** shortcut: <code>display=t</code> ::* <code>display=inline,title</code> – Display the coordinate both inline and beside the article's title (replaces {{tl|coor at dms}} family) ::** shortcut: <code>display=it</code> ::* <code>display=title,inline</code> has the same effect as <code>display=inline,title</code> ::Note: the <code>title</code> attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the entire article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it—so it should only be omitted in the latter case. Additionally the title option will mark the coordinates as the primary coordinates for the page (and topic of the page) in the [[mw:API:Geosearch|geosearch API]]. :* '''format=''' can be used to force ''dec'' or ''dms'' coordinate display. ::* <code>format=dec</code> reformats the coordinates to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">decimal degrees</span> format. ::* <code>format=dms</code> reformats the coordinates to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">degrees | minutes | seconds</span> format. :* '''name=''' can be used to annotate inline coordinates for display in map services such as the [[:meta:WikiMiniAtlas|WikiMiniAtlas]]. If omitted, the article's title (PAGENAME) is assumed. ::Note: a ''name='' parameter causes {{tl|Coord}} to emit an [[hCard]] [[microformat]] using that name, ''even if used within an existing hCard''. Do not use when the name is that of a person (e.g for a gravesite), as the generated hCard would be invalid.

These functions can be used from #invoke or from other Lua modules. == Use from other Lua modules == To use the module from normal wiki pages, no special preparation is needed. If you are using the module from another Lua module, first you need to load it, like this: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local mm = require('Module:Math') </syntaxhighlight> (The <code>mm</code> variable stands for '''M'''odule '''M'''ath; you can choose something more descriptive if you prefer.) Most functions in the module have a version for Lua and a version for #invoke. It is possible to use the #invoke functions from other Lua modules, but using the Lua functions has the advantage that you do not need to access a Lua [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#Frame object|frame object]]. Lua functions are preceded by <code>_</code>, whereas #invoke functions are not. == random == {{see also|Module:Random}} &#123;{#invoke:math|random}} &#123;{#invoke:math|random|''max_value''}} &#123;{#invoke:math|random|''min_value''|''max_value''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._random() mm._random(max_value) mm._random(min_value, max_value) </syntaxhighlight> Generates a random number. * If no arguments are specified, the number produced is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. * If one argument is provided, the number produced is an integer between 1 and that argument. The argument must be a positive integer. * If two arguments are provided, the number produced is an integer between the first and second arguments. Both arguments must be integers, but can be negative. This function will not work properly for numbers less than &minus;2³² and greater than 2³² &minus; 1. If you need to use numbers outside of this range, it is recommended that you use [[Module:Random]]. == order == &#123;{#invoke:math|order|''n''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._order(n) </syntaxhighlight> Determines the [[order of magnitude]] of a number. == precision == &#123;{#invoke:math|precision|''n''}} &#123;{#invoke:math|precision|x=''n''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._precision(number_string) </syntaxhighlight> Detemines the precision of a number. For example, for "4" it will return "0", for "4.567" it will return "3", and for "100" it will return "-2". The function attempts to parse the string representation of the number, and detects whether the number uses [[Scientific notation#E notation|E notation]]. For this reason, when called from Lua, very large numbers or very precise numbers should be directly input as strings to get accurate results. If they are input as numbers, the Lua interpreter will change them to E notation and this function will return the precision of the E notation rather than that of the original number. This is not a problem when the number is called from #invoke, as all input from #invoke is in string format. == max == &#123;{#invoke:math|max|''v1''|''v2''|''v3''|...}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._max(v1, v2, v3, ...) </syntaxhighlight> Returns the maximum value from the values specified.

Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored. == sum == &#123;{#invoke:math|sum|''v1''|''v2''|''v3''|...}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._sum(v1, v2, v3, ...) </syntaxhighlight> Returns the sum of the values specified.

(More precisely, the value returned is the [[Mean#Arithmetic mean (AM)|arithmetic mean]].) Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored. == round == &#123;{#invoke:math|round|''value''|''precision''}} &#123;{#invoke:math|round|value=''value''|precision=''precision''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._round(value, precision) </syntaxhighlight> [[Rounding|Rounds]] a number to the specified precision as a power of ten (default is <code>0</code>, meaning to the nearest whole number). This is done with the following formula: <math>\frac{\lfloor \text{value} \cdot 10^\text{precision} + 0.5\rfloor}{10^\text{precision}}</math> Note: As of October 2019, there is a bug in the display of some rounded numbers. When trying to round a number that rounds to "n.0", like "1.02", to the nearest tenth of a digit (i.e. {{para|r|1}}), this function should display "1.0", but it unexpectedly displays "1". Use the {{para|precision_format}} parameter instead. == log10 == &#123;{#invoke:math | log10 | ''x''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._log10(x) </syntaxhighlight> Returns <code>log₁₀(''x'')</code>, the [[logarithm]] of ''x'' using base 10. == mod == &#123;{#invoke:math|mod|''x''|''y''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._mod(x, y) </syntaxhighlight> Gets <code>''x''</code> [[Modulo operation|modulo]] <code>''y''</code>, or the remainder after <code>''x''</code> has been divided by <code>''y''</code>. This is accurate for integers up to 2⁵³; for larger integers Lua's modulo operator may return an erroneous value. This function deals with this problem by returning <code>0</code> if the modulo given by Lua's modulo operator is less than 0 or greater than <code>''y''</code>. == gcd == &#123;{#invoke:math|gcd|''v1''|''v2''|...}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._gcd(v1, v2, ...) </syntaxhighlight> Finds the [[greatest common divisor]] of the values specified. Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored. == precision_format == &#123;{#invoke:math|precision_format|''value_string''|''precision''}} <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mm._precision_format(value_string, precision) </syntaxhighlight> Rounds a number to the specified precision and formats according to rules originally used for {{tl|Rnd}}. Output is a string. Parameter <var>precision</var> should be an integer number of digits after the decimal point. Negative values are permitted. Non-integers give unexpected results. Positive values greater than the input precision add zero-padding, negative values greater than the input order can consume all digits.

Prosecutors said the man, named Tataw, called for violent attacks against civilians in Cameroon and aided in raising funds to support said operations. The indictment accused him of supporting a conspiracy involving murder, kidnapping, and maiming of civilians, highlighting the U.S. commitment to addressing international criminal activities that originate domestically. Federal prosecutors alleged that Tataw aided armed separatist groups fighting to carve out an independent state from Cameroon’s {{w|English}}-speaking regions. The indictment claimed he provided resources and made threatening communications with the intent to injure or kidnap Cameroonian civilians. Tataw was taken into custody and was expected to face trial in federal court. If convicted, he could face significant prison time for his alleged role in fueling violence overseas. The case highlighted the role of diaspora activists in the ongoing {{W|Anglophone Crisis|Anglophone crisis}} in Cameroon, where separatist groups have relied on overseas supporters for funding and operational support since the conflict’s escalation in 2017. Tataw’s arrest followed broader efforts by U.S. and Cameroonian authorities to disrupt financial and logistical support flowing from the diaspora to armed groups in the region. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url=https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/04/25/Cameroon-Tataw-DOJ-charges-Maryland-man-Amba-Boys/2901745602966/ |title=Maryland man indicted, charged with conspiring to support violent armed Cameroon militias - UPI.com |publisher=UPI |date=April 25, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.tampafp.com/maryland-man-indicted-for-conspiring-to-support-cameroonian-separatist-violence/ |title=Maryland Man Indicted For Conspiring To Support Cameroonian Separatist Violence |publisher=www.tampafp.com |date=April 25, 2025 }} [[Category:Cameroon]] [[Category:Africa]] [[Category:Baltimore, Maryland]] [[Category:Maryland]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Crime and law]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 7uctj9dejyrs7ns0bb6hqxlseu1e37s 0 3013342 4853214 4853209 2025-04-28T13:18:08Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4853214 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[United States: Baltimore federal grand jury indict man of international conspiracy in Cameroon, Central Africa]] i6x0q6yztvv9g8n4udz9m76lukpyp6a 0 3013344 4853217 4853208 2025-04-28T13:18:19Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4853217 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[United States: Baltimore federal grand jury indict man of international conspiracy in Cameroon, Central Africa]] i6x0q6yztvv9g8n4udz9m76lukpyp6a 10 3013346 4855743 4854865 2025-05-07T14:41:53Z Gryllida 160590 clarified 4855743 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude> {{ambox|text= This is a "PING REVISION REQUESTED" template.

The explosion, which was reported to have been heard up to 31 miles away, caused windows in nearby office buildings to be blown out. Photographs showed "twisted" scraps of metal sprawled across the streets. At least one roof also collapsed. There were reports of victims pinned under collapsed walls. One of the people in the area told state TV "The entire warehouse was filled with smoke, dust and ashes. I don't remember if I went under the table or was thrown there by the blast". Prior to the explosion, there was a fire that was described as a "huge inferno." One witness reported that the fire spread quickly before causing the explosion. According to a crisis management official, the incident stemmed from "the explosion of several containers stored in the Shahid Rajaee Port wharf area," which were likely storing chemical materials. One private maritime risk firm, Ambrey Intelligence, said that the fire was caused by "improper handling of a shipment of solid fuel intended for use in Iranian ballistic missiles", "a shipment of sodium perchlorate rocket fuel [discharged] at the port in March 2025". The Financial Times newspaper had earlier stated that two vessels had brought the fuel from China to Iran. Ambrey reportedly noted that Iran’s National Disaster Management Organisation had previously warned Shahid Rajaee port about chemical storage safety, according to the BBC. The resulting fire from the explosion was still burning one full day after the incident, and was characterized as expelling "thick columns of thick, black smoke" into the air.

Officers are heard in the video saying: "Ma’am, put the gun down! Drop the gun! It’s the police. Ma’am, we’re trying to help. Come out with your hands up! You’re going to get shot!" The incident began when a large quantity of officers gave chase into the {{w|Eagle Rock}} neighborhood while attending to an unrelated hit-and-run incident on {{w|134 Freeway}}. Lauren allegedly emerged from her home with a 9mm handgun, and officers say that when they demanded she drop the handgun, she failed to do so. This led officers to the conclusion that she was involved in the hit-and-run. Lauren had allegedly fired her gun at one of the hit-and-run suspects before pointing it LAPD forces, who had mounted their presence from behind a fence. She then allegedly opened fire on them. Officers fired at least eight shots in response. Lauren was struck by gunfire twice in the shoulder, prompting her to retreat back into her home. According to a 911 call, she believed she was defending her home against the hit-and-run suspects. She reemerged from the home an hour later along with someone who was reported to have been her child's babysitter. Both were taken into custody, and Lauren was hospitalized with what was said to have been "non-life-threatening" injuries. Lauren was the only injury reported in the incident. She was released from police custody after USD$1 million bail was posted. Her next court date is scheduled for April 30. A spokesperson for LAPD noted they will analyse the footage, forensic and interview data for a few months and "evaluate the evidence to determine whether the officers’ tactics, drawing and exhibiting a weapon, and use of deadly force in this incident complied with LAPD policy." On April 12, {{w|Weezer}} performed at the {{w|Coachella 2025}} music festival in {{w|Indio, California}} with bassist {{w|Scott Shriner}}, only four days after the incident. Two days prior to the band's appearance at Coachella, Scott Shriner made a statement affirming that his wife was "alright." The band did not make any mention of the incident during their set. The band's set contained a cover of "{{w|Enter Sandman}}" by {{w|Metallica}}. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.nme.com/news/music/wife-of-weezer-bassist-scott-shriner-seen-holding-and-firing-gun-in-video-released-by-lapd-3858481 |title = Wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner seen holding and “firing” gun in video released by LAPD |author = Laura Molloy |pub = NME |date = April 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250427022350/https://www.nme.com/news/music/wife-of-weezer-bassist-scott-shriner-seen-holding-and-firing-gun-in-video-released-by-lapd-3858481 }} *{{source |url = https://ktla.com/news/local-news/body-cam-footage-shows-lapd-shooting-weezer-bassists-wife/ |title = Body cam footage shows LAPD shooting Weezer bassist’s wife during tense confrontation |author = Vivian Chow |pub = KTLA |date = April 25, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250428024420/https://ktla.com/news/local-news/body-cam-footage-shows-lapd-shooting-weezer-bassists-wife/ }} *{{source |url = https://variety.com/2025/music/news/weezer-coachella-set-wife-shooting-1236366291/ |title = Weezer Delivers Solid Coachella Set, Despite Shooting of Bassist’s Wife Days Earlier |author = Thania Garcia and Jem Aswad |pub = Variety |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://ew.com/weezer-cover-metallica-coachella-2025-do-not-address-bassist-wife-shooting-arrest-11714338 |title = Weezer cover Metallica at Coachella 2025, don't address bassist's wife's recent shooting and arrest |author =Sydney Bucksbaum |pub = Entertainment Weekly |date = April 13, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:California]] [[Category:Los Angeles, California]] {{Publish}} m1y3hj60jd4stx3nvwa4fgtwqacjgyj 0 3013408 4855048 4854828 2025-05-05T00:21:01Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 4855048 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Disasters and accidents}} {{date|April 29, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Jet_truck_151107-F-XG484-052.jpg|thumb|left|Rob Holland flies in an MXS aircraft over the Flash Fire Jet truck during the Thunder Over South Georgia Open House November 7, 2015, at {{w|Moody Air Force Base}}, {{w|Georgia (US state)|Georgia}}. {{image source|Senior Airman Olivia Dominique}}]] On Thursday, aerobatic pilot {{w|Rob Holland (pilot)|Rob Holland}}, 50, died when he crashed his experimental {{w|Aircraft MXS}} plane at {{w|Langley Air Force Base}} in {{w|Hampton, Virginia}}, [[United States]].

A senior US administration official spoke of the talks as productive and positive, saying "There is still much to do, but further progress was made on getting to a deal" and that both sides agreed to meet again in Europe "soon". Before this round of talks, Araghchi also attended the 29th Muscat International Book Fair on Friday, where he signed copies of his book "The Power of Negotiation" at the Dar Luban pavilion. The exhibition includes Iran's pavilion organized by the Iran Book and Literature House, in collaboration with the Cultural Attaché Office in Oman.

Among those affected are major Pakistani news outlets, including Dawn, Sama TV, ARY News, Bol News, Raftar, Geo News, and Suno News. YouTube channels belonging to journalists Irshad Bhatti, Asma Shirazi, Umar Cheema, and Muneeb Farooq were also blocked.

The reason for his ban was because he said "{{w|Heil Hitler}}" on his stream and did the {{w|Nazi salute}}. He implored his followers to "wear {{w|Swastika's}}." Afterwards, his channel read, "This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service."

The incident came one month after West posted a video of himself wearing a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace with known racist {{w|Nick Fuentes}}, whom West referred to as his “white supremacist {{w|wikt:homeboy|homeboy}}.” The two had attended a dinner at US president [[Donald Trump|Donald Trump's]] {{w|Mar-a-Lago}} home in 2022, which resulted in backlash. Earlier, West was quoted on X, saying: "I’m a Nazi. [...] I don’t like or trust no Jewish person, and this is completely sober with no {{w|Hennessy}}.” He was also quoted saying: "I’m racist. Stereotypes exist for a reason and they all be true. [...] You can get money with Jewish people but they always gonna steal and invite you over to they house on Friday." There were calls for [[Elon Musk]] to ban West from {{w|X}}, including from {{w|David Schwimmer}}, who starred in the US sitcom ''{{w|Friends (TV series)|Friends}}''.

The 1960 painting, which was characterized by {{w|curator}} Saskia van Kampen-Prein as "a meditative and striking color landscape," was said to be worth tens of millions of dollars. A museum spokesperson told ''{{w|People Magazine}}'' that was dealt what was described as "superficial damage" after being touched by the child. According to the spokesperson, said the child's actions resulted in visible "small scratches" on the unvarnished paint layer in the lower section. A spokesperson for the museum told ''{{w|BBC}}'' that the institute was seeking "conservation expertise" throughout the {{w|Netherlands}} and countries abroad, and conducting research regarding the restoration process. The spokesperson said that the museum expects the piece to eventually return to display in the exhibit. Sophie McAloone, who serves as conservation manager at the Fine Art Restoration Company, said that pieces similar to No. 8 are "particularly susceptible to damage" due to an amalgamation of factors, including the complexity of the materials used and the fact that the painting did not have a traditional coating layer. McAloone continued, "In this case, scratching of the upper paint layers can have a significant impact on the viewing experience of the piece." Jonny Helm, a marketing manager, stated that Rothko's amalgamations of pigments, resins, glues were "quite complex." According to him, "this isn't the first damaged Rothko we've heard about." "Black on Maroon," another of Rothko's works, was damaged by a vandal named Wlodzimierz Umaniec in a London gallery in 2012. The museum did not identify the child, and did not specify who would be financially responsible for the painting's restoration, or the potential costs. The museum also declined to share photos of the damage. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6dvdwjpj4o

[[File:Pörtschach Autobahn-Unterführung zum Biomasse-Heizwerk 21112013 969.jpg|thumb|left|A bridge at autobahn{{image source|Johann Jaritz}}]] {{w|Germany}}’s deteriorating bridges require increased financial support, German federal authority for audit matters, {{W|Bundesrechnungshof}}, warned on Tuesday. According to the report, the country faced significant infrastructure challenges as many bridges are aging and in urgent need of repair or replacement. Despite some government funding, experts said the current budget and pace of renovations are insufficient to address the backlog, risking further traffic disruptions and economic damage. The Bundesrechnungshof have called for increased funding for the state-owned Autobahn GmbH but did not specify a precise amount, as the final requirement depends on how construction costs evolve. Many bridges were built in the 1960s-1980s, reportedly for lighter, less frequent traffic and now cannot handle current loads. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bundesrechnungshof.de/SharedDocs/Kurzmeldungen/EN/2025/brueckenmodernisierung/kurzmeldung-en.html |title = Dilapidated bridges: Refurbishment is clearly behind schedule |pub = Bundesrechnungshof |date = April 29, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/germanys-crumbling-bridges-need-additional-funds-auditors-say-2025-04-29/ |title = Germany's crumbling bridges need additional funds, auditors say |author = Christian Kraemer and Maria Martinez |pub = Reuters |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.yahoo.com/news/germany-failing-bridges-could-wreck-090000687.html?utm_source=perplexity |title = Germany’s failing bridges could wreck Europe’s ability to wage war |author = James Rothwell |pub = The Telegraph |date = April 26, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Germany]] [[Category:Europe]] {{Publish}} dgsp0ylpe0832w8z7wyg4q7xcvc3y8c 4 3013609 4861982 4861980 2025-06-03T15:22:03Z Asked42 2864219 /* Questions and comments */ 4861982 wikitext text/x-wiki ===[[User:Asked42|Asked42]]=== I am nominating myself for Interface Admin rights. I have contributed to the development of two user scripts: [[User:Asked42/LeadManager|LeadManager]] and [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]]. My primary objective is to maintain various gadgets, some of which appear [[Special:Gadgets|outdated]] or have bugs and issues. I would like to work on resolving these problems and updating them according to MediaWiki's latest API and recommendations. I also aim to modularize the contents of [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] by organizing or moving CSS to the respective style pages of specific templates rather than keeping everything in one place, to improve maintainability and support future modifications. I would also like to work on making the styles compatible with dark mode. I have experience with MediaWiki software, CSS and JavaScript, and have moderate knowledge with Lua. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 16:38, 29 April 2025 (UTC) ====Stats==== {{RfP/stats|Asked42|Asked42}} ====Questions and comments==== * {{question}} [[User:Asked42]] Have you read [[Wikinews:Dialog/doc]]? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC) *:Yes, I am familiar with how Wikidialog operations work. In fact, I have developed a similar system for Bengali Wikinews, although it's not as feature-rich as the one on English Wikinews. Wikidialog allows users to perform interactive operations on wiki pages using a set of templates, each triggered via specific IDs. The most common operation is the "submit for review" button included in the {{Tl|Develop}} template. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:00, 3 June 2025 (UTC) * {{question}} [[User:Asked42]] Tendency was to write semi automated tools, not bots which act from its own account. Examples of semi automated: reFill. Examples of fully automated: signature adding bot. Are you keen to prefer semi automated, as the better option, not fully automated? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC) *:I tend to prefer semi automated tools, particularly in cases where editorial judgment is required or where edits directly affect the content. Tools like reFill streamline repetitive tasks without removing human oversight. Fully automated bots are valuable when the task is clearly defined and low risk, such as fixing formatting or categorization. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:20, 3 June 2025 (UTC) * {{question}} [[User:Asked42]] How could sources filling be simplified? I have a script, but in visual editor it pastes in nowiki tags. [[User:Gryllida/common.js]] How would you suggest to fix it? Can you make it more user friendly? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC) *:From my understanding, the best and simplest solution would be to create a dialog interface where users can input a URL, and the script would use Citoid to fetch related parameters (like title, author, publisher). This is similar to what your script currently does. *:However, since Citoid doesn’t always return complete metadata (e.g., missing publisher names), we could improve it by maintaining a predefined list of known site–publisher mappings (in JSON format). When Citoid fails to retrieve the publisher, the script can check this fallback list for a match and insert it accordingly. *:To make it more user-friendly, we can add features such as: when the user saves it, the script will automatically detect whether the "Sources" section is available on the page, and if yes, it will add the template with a bullet point in the appropriate section. To make it easier to edit some parameters after fetching (if the user wants), a form alike format seems best in such a case. *:For the nowiki tag being added and other development-related discussions, I think it's better to discuss on the [[User talk:Gryllida/js/add-source-in-visual-editor.js|talk page]]. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:07, 3 June 2025 (UTC) * {{question}} [[User:Asked42]] Software developmemt may work better with a real time chat. Are you on discord, telegram, viber, whatsapp, tox, matrix, sip, jami, IRC, or any other thing, that you would consider suitable? What is your position about logging the chat for transparency? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC) *:I am available on Telegram, which I already use for Wikimedia related communication. I am also open to using IRC, especially since it is more commonly used in the Wikimedia community and are easier to integrate with public logs. For logging the chat, I support transparent and opt-in public logs for discussions related to technical development and coordination. But for any decision-making that affects the community, I think it's better to do that on-wiki. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:10, 3 June 2025 (UTC) * {{question}} [[User:Asked42]] Please describe your prior software development and sysadmin exoerience, and why you became interested in wiki(s). [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC) *:For my experience with software development and programming, I have been a student of computer applications. On Wikimedia, I have worked on several user scripts to automate certain tasks and introduce new features. All of my work is related to either English Wikinews or Bengali Wikinews. *:Besides the two scripts of lead manager and quick cat, I have also developed the [https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wn/bn/Common.js&oldid=6446319 Wikidialog script] for Bengali Wikinews, an [https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=User%3AAsked42%2FCommentSection.js&wprov=acrw1_1 interactive comment section] script, an [https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Asked42/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF_%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%A3.js&oldid=6666077 easy review script], and a Telegram bot (hosted on GITHUB) that allows users to subscribe to Wikinews and get notified when an article is published (but unfortunately, as per [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#c-Victoria-20250602104100-Asked42-20250530144700 recent news], most of this is worthless now). *:I do not yet have prior experience as an interface administrator, but I am eager to learn and collaborate responsibly. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:18, 3 June 2025 (UTC) *{{comment}} As with a previous InterfaceAdmin request, I want to be cautious and ensure the community fully understands the level of trust and access this role entails.

The exhibition featured the latest models of sedans, trucks, SUVs and vans that are already available at dealerships, as well as a number of notable concept cars. New developments were demonstrated by 34 companies: [[:w:Acura|Acura]], [[:w:Alfa Romeo|Alfa Romeo]], [[:w:Audi|Audi]], [[:w:Bentley|Bentley]], [[:w:Cadillac|Cadillac]], [[:w:Chevrolet|Chevrolet]], [[:w:Chrysler|Chrysler]], [[:w:Dodge|Dodge]], [[:w:Jeep|Jeep]], [[:w:Fiat|Fiat]], [[:w:Ford|Ford]], [[:w:Genesis|Genesis]], [[:w:GTO Engineering|GTO Engineering]], [[:w:Honda|Honda]], [[:w:Hyundai|Hyundai]], [[:w:INEOS|INEOS]], [[:w:Kia|Kia]], [[:w:Koenigsegg|Koenigsegg]], [[:w:Lamborghini|Lamborghini]], [[:w:Lincoln|Lincoln]], [[:w:Lotus|Lotus]], [[:w:Lucid|Lucid]], [[:w:Maserati|Maserati]], [[:w:Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes-Benz]], [[:w:Nissan|Nissan]], [[:w:Sacrilege Motors|Sacrilege Motors]], [[:w:Subaru|Subaru]], [[:w:Porsche|Porsche]], [[:w:RAM|RAM]], [[:w:Rimac|Rimac]], [[:w:Rolls-Royce|Rolls-Royce]], [[:w:Toyota|Toyota]], [[:w:Volkswagen|Volkswagen]], [[:w:Volvo|Volvo]]. In addition to new models, the show also featured vintage historical cars. At the entrance, visitors were greeted by a 1910 [[:w:Ford Model T|Ford Model T]], a yellow 1933 [[:w:Pierce Silver Arrow|Pierce Silver Arrow]] sports coupe (only three examples remain), a 1947 [[:w:Mercury Eight|Mercury Eight convertible]], a 1955 [[:w:Mercedes-Benz 300SL|Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "Gullwing" coupe]], a 1958 [[:w:Buick Limited|Buick Limited]] convertible, the iconic 1981 [[:w:DeLorean DMC-12|DeLorean DMC-12]] (starring in the film "[[w:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]]"), and a 2006 [[:w:Bugatti Veyron|Bugatti Veyron]] 16.4. There were also special exhibits, such as New York Police Department (NYPD) vehicles from the past decades. The Golden Era exhibit showcased automotive highlights from the 1950s, including a 1957 [[:w:Cadillac Eldorado|Cadillac Eldorado]], a 1958 [[:w:Buick Limited|Buick Limited]], and a 1955 [[:w:Packard Caribbean|Packard Caribbean]]. The lower level featured a special display of off-road vehicles and RVs called the R2X Rides & Rigs Expo, as well as unique modified aftermarket vehicles. Many of the cars could be seen from the inside, while sitting in the showroom. Visitors could try driving and racing simulators, ride with a professional driver in a [[:w:Hyundai Ioniq 5|Hyundai Ioniq 5]], Ioniq 5 N, Ioniq 6 or [[:w:Hyundai Kona|Kona Electric]], making sharp turns at high speed, drive up a 28-foot “[[:w:Jeep|Jeep]] mountain”, and climb and slide down steep hills in a [[:w:Ford Bronco|Ford Bronco]] SUV. The American auto industry has only introduced one innovative Jeep Wagoneer Overland Special Edition (2025 model) this year. But Korean, Japanese and German manufacturers have shown several notable updates. The Korean conglomerate Kia-Hyundai has been particularly prolific, owning more than half of the new products. The Korean Genesis car, created by the Hyundai plant in 2008, became an independent luxury brand in 2015, and now competes very successfully with new cars from BMW and Mercedes. The following seven 2026 models saw their world debut at the exhibition: Kia EV9 Nightfall Edition, [[:w:Subaru Outback|Subaru Outback]], [[:w:Subaru Solterra|Subaru Solterra]], [[:w:Subaru Trailseeker|Subaru Trailseeker]], Toyota GR86 Yuzu Special Edition, Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition and [[:w:Volkswagen Tiguan|Volkswagen Tiguan]] R-Line Turbo. Three 2026 models were presented for the first time in North America: [[:w:Hyundai Palisade|Hyundai Palisade]], [[:w:Kia EV4|Kia EV4]], Kia K4 Hatchback. The [[:w:Genesis X Gran Equator|Genesis X Gran Equator]] concept was presented for the first time. [[Oleg Yunakov]] has chosen five notable new automobiles: '''⑤''' '''Chevrolet С8 Corvette ZR1''' {{multiple image | align = center | footer = Chevrolet C8 Corvette ZR1 and car engine{{image source|[[Commons:User:Oleg Yunakov|Oleg Yunakov]]|paren=""}} | footer_align = center | width = 300 | image1 = 2025 Chevrolet C8 Corvette ZR1.jpg | image2 = 2025 Chevrolet C8 Corvette ZR1 Engine.png }} The eighth-generation Corvette combines elegance and speed with a glossy black exterior framed by racing stripes. The car is equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 1,064 horsepower. In terms of performance, the production model is close to hypercars. ---- '''④''' '''Kia PV5 WKNDR EV VAN Concept''' {{multiple image | align = center | footer = Kia PV5 WKNDR EV VAN Concept {{image source|[[Commons:User:Oleg Yunakov|Oleg Yunakov]]|paren=""}} | footer_align = center | width = 300 | image1 = Kia PV5 WKNDR - 02.jpg | image2 = Kia PV5 WKNDR - 03.jpg }} Kia may not be the first name that comes to mind for American car enthusiasts, but the Korean manufacturer surprised with one of the most striking concepts presented at the show. The car looks provocative and gives the feeling that you can safely drive it to a campsite during a zombie apocalypse. The solar panel on top will help charge the batteries a little even without a charging station. The interesting shape of the body combined with an interesting tire solution makes the car memorable. But even more remarkable is the structure of the interior, which allows, despite the external ostentatious roughness of the facade, to create coziness. ---- '''③''' '''Fiat Topolino''' {{multiple image | align = center | footer = Fiat Topolino{{image source|[[Commons:User:Oleg Yunakov|Oleg Yunakov]]|paren=""}} | footer_align = center | width = 300 | image1 = 2025 Fiat Topolino - 01.jpg | image2 = 2025 Fiat Topolino - 02.jpg | image3 = 2025 Fiat Topolino - 03.jpg }} This unique car attracted the largest number of visitors to the exhibition. "Topolino" in Italian means "little mouse" and proves that small Fiat cars can be even smaller. Despite its dwarf size and the ability to park the car in the tightest space, the interior turned out to be surprisingly spacious against the background of the overall dimensions of the electric quad bike. The seats are plastic with several soft cushions. Such cars may be familiar to Europe, but for America and Canada this is a great rarity, since the model is not sold in the USA. By a unique coincidence, the author of these lines Oleg Yunakov saw a [[:File:2015 Abarth 500 (Black).jpg|Fiat 500 Abarth|Fiat 500 Abarth on the street for the first time before visiting the exhibition, which he photographed]], and this "Fiat Topolino" model is inspired by the solutions of the Fiat 500 "Topolino" of the 1930s. The priority for the car was efficiency, not speed. ---- '''②''' '''Genesis GMR-001 Concept''' {{multiple image | align = center | footer = Genesis GMR-001 Concept{{image source|[[Commons:User:Oleg Yunakov|Oleg Yunakov]]|paren=""}} | footer_align = center | width = 300 | image1 = Genesis GMR-001 Hypercar - 02.jpg | image2 = Genesis GMR-001 Hypercar - 01.jpg | image3 = Genesis GMR-001 Hypercar - 04.jpg }} The Genesis GMR-001 is a sports prototype conceived and developed by Genesis in collaboration with Oreca, and with advice from former FIA WEC Champion André Lotterer and IMSA Champion Pipo Derani. The model will feature a twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid engine. Two weeks before the US show, a half-scale model of the Genesis GMR-001 hypercar was shown at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show in Korea (April 3–13, 2025). The full-scale prototype was unveiled at the US show, and will be exhibited in Dubai in December 2024. The Genesis GMR-001 will compete in the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship in the Hypercar category in 2026, and in the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the GTP category in 2027. ---- '''①''' '''Genesis X Gran Equator Concept''' {{multiple image | align = center | footer = Genesis GMR-001 Concept{{image source|[[Commons:User:Oleg Yunakov|Oleg Yunakov]]|paren=""}} | footer_align = center | width = 300 | image1 = 2025 Genesis X Gran Equator - 02.jpg | image2 = 2025 Genesis X Gran Equator - 01.jpg | image3 = 2025 Genesis X Gran Equator - 05.jpg }} The Genesis X Gran Equator concept car is the most interesting exhibit at the show. It is Genesis’ attempt to carve out a niche in the luxury SUV market that is geared toward overlanding. It combines exterior futurism with an interior retro feel. The sleek, futuristic SUV has a long hood, a two-tone interior, and Genesis’ signature dual-row headlights that are integrated into the body rather than “glued on” like many other cars. It is a strong competitor to the Range Rover Defender and other luxury SUVs. The name is not inspired by the Earth’s equator, but by the best Arabian stallion. The company alludes to the horse’s endurance and elegance, which may be hinted at by the muscular bulge of the fenders. There is no grille, which may imply that the car is planned to be electric. The overly long front end may indicate a hybrid, which is also hinted at by the two charging ports on either side. The front of the car looks a bit boring, and the lower round headlights do not quite match the square headlights placed inside the circle, and under the horizontal strip headlights higher. Instead of one window on the roof, there are four separate individual hatches. In the four-seater cabin, in place of the touch screen, there are round digital indicators made to look like old analog ones - three by the steering wheel and four more on the dashboard between the driver and passenger. There are two boxes on the right, and the gear shifter has the shape of a signature crystal ball. The interior is implemented in a pastel blue and beige color scheme, includes an original seat design with a backrest made of two separate parts, there are headrests and wide armrests between the seats with space for two bottles. The elegant retro-futuristic image of the SUV is completed by enlarged 24-inch wheels with high-cross-country tires. The tires are unbranded, meaning Genesis hasn't yet determined what tires will be used if the concept goes into production. The prototype stands out from the crowd so effectively that it was worth visiting the show. ---- '''Gallery''' And here is a number of other cars from the exhibition: <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="350" style="margin:auto"> 1909 Cadillac Model 30 Demi-Tonneau.jpg 1910 Ford Model T Depot Hack.jpg 1924 Chrysler Six - 01.jpg 1924 Chrysler Six - 02.jpg 1924 Chrysler Six.jpg 1925 Mack AB.jpg 1926 Dodge Brothers Standard Six.jpg 1933 Pierce-Arrow Model 1247.jpg 1927 Ford Model T customized by Rusty Nuts for Joseph Venero - 02.jpg 1927 Ford Model T customized by Rusty Nuts for Joseph Venero - 04.jpg 1947 Mercury Eight Convertible.jpg 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwin.jpg 1951 Mercury Lead Sled - 01.jpg 1951 Mercury Lead Sled - 02.jpg 1955 Packard Caribbean - 01.jpg 1955 Packard Caribbean - 03.jpg 1956 General Motors TDH-5106 - 02.jpg 1956 General Motors TDH-5106 - 03.jpg 1956_Ford_F-100_-_01.jpg 1956_Ford_F-100_-_02.jpg 1957 Cadillac Eldorado - 01.jpg 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB - 01.jpg 1958 Buick Limited - 02.jpg 1958 Buick Limited - 03.jpg 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe - 01.jpg 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe - 03.jpg 1965 Chevrolet Corvette (C2) - 01.jpg 1965 Chevrolet Corvette (C2) - 02.jpg 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 - 01.jpg 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 - 02.jpg 1969 Plymouth Belvedere - 01.jpg 1969 Plymouth Belvedere - 02.jpg 1970 Subaru 360 - 01.jpg 1970 Subaru 360 - 02.jpg 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am.jpg 1999 Acura NSX.jpg 2006 Bugatti Veyron - 02.jpg 2006 Bugatti Veyron - 04.jpg 2019 Koenigsegg Regera - 02.jpg 2019 Koenigsegg Regera - 03.jpg 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 6500HD - 01.jpg 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 6500HD - 02.jpg 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 4.0.jpg 2024 Chevrolet Corvette.jpg 2024 Subaru WRX Project Midnight - 01.jpg 2024 Subaru WRX Project Midnight - 02.jpg 2025 Audi e-tron GT.jpg 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT.jpg 2024 Storyteller Overland Epic GXV - 01.jpg 2024 Storyteller Overland Epic GXV - 02.jpg 2025 Bentley Flying Spur - 02.jpg 2025 Bentley Bentayga - 03.jpg 2025 Bentley Continental GTC - 01.jpg 2025 Bentley Continental GTC - 02.jpg 2025 Chevrolet C8 Corvette ZR1.jpg 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack.jpg 2025 FIAT 500e.jpg 2025 FIAT 500e (interior).jpg 2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition - 01.jpg 2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition - 02.jpg 2025 INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster.jpg 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe.jpg 2025 Lotus Emira - 01.jpg 2025 Lotus Emira - 02.jpg 2025 Lotus Eletre - 01.jpg 2025 Lotus Eletre - 02.jpg 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE - 01.jpg 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE - 02.jpg 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore.jpg 2025 Maserati GranTurismo - 01.jpg 2025 Maserati Grecale.jpg 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N TA.jpg 2025 Maserati GT2 Stradale.jpg 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT - 01.jpg 2025 Rimac Nevera - 01.jpg 2025 Rimac Nevera - 02.jpg 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II - 01.jpg 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II - 02.jpg 2025 Rolls-Royce Ghost and Cullinan Series II.jpg 2025 Rolls-Royce Ghost.jpg 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Surf Concept.jpg 2025 RAM 5500.jpg 2025 Volkswagen ID.

As a result, the strain caused a shutdown of the cross-border power link between Spain and France. As a result, Spain, Portugal and the French Basque Country disconnected from the rest of the European power grid. The cause of power loss remained unknown. System operations chief of Spanish grid operator REE, Eduardo Prieto, said in a news conference that "As the result of this disconnection and the serious imbalance of band generation that is in our electrical system, the electrical system collapsed." Following the outage, authorities declared a state of emergency. Hospitals switched to back-up power generators, traffic lights stopped working so the police were conducting traffic manually at major intersections, trains stopped as the power was lost, between 200 and 500 flights were cancelled as airports had to switch to emergency generators, and over 50 million people were directed to go home, with long queues at bus stops, and no metro or trains in operation. According to the head of the regional government, emergency services in Madrid responded to 286 calls to assist individuals trapped in elevators. Marina Sierra, a young girl in a Madrid suburb, said, "The building we were in was giving off smoke, they had to evacuate us quickly," after her school was closed, according to ''ABC News,'' Australia. Joanly Perez, a doctor in Madrid, said "I left work and the power suddenly went and people started buying... People aren't sure what might happen and are buying basic essentials, just in case." With card payments systems not working, the shops that remained open switched to cash payments; many stores closed altogether due to lack of electricity. French network operator RTE restored power to the French Basque Country within a few hours of the outage and helped recover Spain's electricity supply. Spain had recovered more than 92% of its power by 5 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Spanish power distributor Red Eléctrica, and Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez vowed that everyone in Spain would have lights back on before Wednesday. Madrid's minister for housing, transport and infrastructure Jorge Rodrigo Dominguez announced that most of the metro, except for line 7A, was back in service by 8am Tuesday morning. "This has been achieved thanks to the work of the underground professionals, who have made every effort to restore vital infrastructure for the people of Madrid as quickly as possible," he said "My sincere thanks for rising to the occasion, once again, in an exceptional and unprecedented situation." Portugal's acting prime minister, Louis Montenegro, said that Portugal has asked the European Union Energy Regulators' Cooperation Agency for audit. "We want a thorough investigation into the causes of the blackout. We need quick and urgent answers." {{haveyoursay}} ==Sister links== {{Sisters|Wikipedia|2025 Iberian Peninsula blackout}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/spain-portugal-power-outage-how-it-happened/105227080 |title = How a power outage caused chaos in Spain and Portugal |author = |pub = ABC |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/spain-portugal-power-outage-electricity-b0c5fbca49b8422248c4f933e20303b3 |title = Massive power outage in Spain and Portugal leaves thousands stranded and millions without light |author = Renata Brito, Barry Hatton and Joseph Wilson |pub = AP News |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t |title = Spain will take 'all necessary measures' to prevent another blackout, says PM |author = |pub = BBC |date = April 28, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/power-outages-blackout-spain-portugal-04-28-25/index.html |title = Electricity supply slowly returning after massive power outages in Spain and Portugal |author = Antoinette Radford, Rob Picheta and Elise Hammond |pub = CNN |date = April 28, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2025/04/28/power-cut-latest-all-medium-and-long-distance-trains-in-spain-cancelled-for-today-but-air-traffic-operating-normally |title=Power cut latest: All medium and long distance trains in Spain cancelled for today but air traffic operating ‘normally’ |author=Finch, Walter |pub=The Olive Press |date=April 28, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/512383/Madrid-s-trains-and-international-airport-among-facilities-hit |title = Madrid’s trains and international airport among facilities hit by power outages |author = |pub = Tehran Times |date = April 28, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Spain]] [[Category:Portugal]] [[Category:Power outages]] [[Category:Europe]] {{Publish}} tb3l1w3z29gstnxhi9gpj0np7u7g903 102 3013656 4853930 2025-04-30T11:39:18Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4853930 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 14 3013689 4854023 2025-05-01T01:16:12Z Oleg Yunakov 250713 Category 4854023 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Topic cat |intro= |usage note= |image=NY Auto Show 2013.JPG |imagecaption=New York International Auto Show in 2013 |flag= |seal= |coat= |locmap=New York in United States.svg |portal=no |offset={{{offset|0}}} |sisterprojects=yes |wikibooks= |commons=Category:New York International Auto Show |wikidata=Q964426 |wikipedia=New York International Auto Show |wikiquote= |wikisource= |wiktionary= |wikiversity= |wikivoyage= }} [[Category:Auto shows in the United States]] [[Category:Recurring events established in 1900]] 3n90oynmx0nrv5406u0usg5xxwfqchg 4 3013692 4860819 4859177 2025-05-29T15:01:41Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 2 threads from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous]] 4860819 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Tech News: 2025-14 == <section begin="technews-2025-W14"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

'''Weekly highlight''' * Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355914] * File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Images#Thumbnail_sizes][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355914] '''Updates for editors''' * The Wikimedia Foundation are working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]] which will enable [[:w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[:w:en:Denial-of-service attack|Distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. * To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:EmailAuth|emailed to their account]].

The Liberals won 169 seats, 3 short of a majority in the {{w|House of Commons of Canada|House of Commons}}, more than the opposition Conservatives who won 144 seats. In his victory speech, Carney said, "As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats.

Leader of the {{w|Conservative Party of Canada}} {{w|Pierre Poilievre}} lost his own seat to Liberal candidate {{w|Bruce Fanjoy}}. Leader of the {{w|New Democratic Party}} {{w|Jagmeet Singh}} also lost his seat. In the election, 17% of seats changed parties. Voter turnout was 67%, the highest in ten years.

He also faces a second more severe charge of affiliation to a terrorist organisation, which implies a nine-year prison sentence. He appeared at a hearing before the court via videoconference from his prison cell, on April 30. Prosecutors claimed that Medin was present at a 2023 rally in {{w |1=Stockholm}} where an effigy of Erdoğan was hung up by protesters, which he denied. Medin, who writes for the newspaper ''Dagens ETC'', was detained on March 27 upon arriving at {{w |1=Istanbul Airport}} to cover the {{w |1=2025 Turkish protests |2=protests}} in support of the city's mayor {{w |1=Ekrem İmamoğlu}}, who had been {{w |1=Arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu |2=arrested}} the previous week on disputed corruption charges. In a letter written on April 12 from {{w |1=Marmara Prison}}, Medin said: "I have done nothing but journalism. It’s not something that I should be in prison, not in Turkey or in any country." The Swedish {{w |1=Minister for Foreign Affairs (Sweden) |2=Minister for Foreign Affairs}}, {{w |1=Maria Malmer Stenergard}}, stated that the country was working for bringing Medin home once again. Both charges are often levelled against journalists who criticise the Turkish government. Press freedom in the country has experienced a sharp deterioration in recent years, with 57 journalists having been detained in 2024, 10 of whom were imprisoned, according to a report of the {{w |1=Stockholm Center for Freedom}}.

It was signed in Washington by Treasury Secretary {{w|Scott Bessent}} for the US and First Vice Prime Minister {{w|Yulia Svyrydenko}} for Ukraine. [[File:Scott Bessent, official portrait (2025) (cropped).jpg|Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent {{image source|United States Department of the Treasury}}|thumb|left]] [[File:Yulia Svyrydenko portrait.jpg|First Vice Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko {{image source|[[User:Presschairman|Presschairman]]}}|thumb|left]] US President {{w|Donald Trump}} proposed the agreement, publicly stating that he expects something in return for military aid to Ukraine. It would give the US priority in new Ukrainian investments to mine 55 minerals – these include lithium, titanium, lanthanum, uranium, and cerium, among other rare earth and precious minerals. The accord did not include debt obligations for Ukraine, – previously proposed, but rejected by Ukraine – and Kyiv would still decide what to mine and where. It also does not provide the US access to operations the Ukrainian side already profits from. The Ukrainian side would be expected to deposit 50% of its future profits from government-owned resources listed above, while the US would help via monetary and military aid. No profits would be taken from the Fund for ten years. The current version, establishing the so-called United States–Ukraine Reinvestment Fund, was reached after intense negotiations; a previous iteration – later derided by the Ukrainian side – was almost signed before a now-famous altercation between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, {{w|Volodymyr Zelenskyy}}, devolved into Zelenskyy being told to leave the White House. The signing was praised publicly by both sides – it "clearly signals the Trump Administration's commitment to a free, sovereign, prosperous Ukraine" – the White House said. "Importantly, the Agreement sends a signal to global partners that long-term cooperation with Ukraine – over decades – is not only possible but reliable", Svyrydenko posted on the social media platform {{w|Twitter|X}}. Svyrydenko also hoped for the deal to bring with it new support for Ukraine, though the American side did not directly respond to that. Former president and prime minister under {{w|Vladimir Putin}}, now the deputy chairman of the {{w|Security Council of Russia}}, Dmitry Medvedev stated: "Trump has broken the Kyiv regime into paying for American aid with minerals. Now they will have to pay for military supplies with the national wealth of a disappearing country." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/kyiv-is-ready-sign-resources-deal-with-us-ukraine-government-source-says-2025-04-30/ |title = Ukraine, US sign minerals deal sought by Trump |author = Tom Balmforth, Yuliia Dysa and Trevor Hunnicutt |pub = Reuters |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501150145/https://www.reuters.com/world/kyiv-is-ready-sign-resources-deal-with-us-ukraine-government-source-says-2025-04-30/ }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-us-rare-earth-minerals-deal-8566241ea0e121a30437d845357055d8 |title = Ukraine and the US have finally signed a minerals deal.

After hours searching, authorities found the suspect, Justin Collin Adams, on a boat in a local beach town and then took him into custody. Authorities accused him of hitting the victims in the church parking lot before escaping on foot, reportedly carrying a knife. Multiple law enforcement agencies-including the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and local police-joined forces in an intensive manhunt. Their efforts involved grid searches, going door-to-door, deploying drones and helicopters, and setting up checkpoints at the island’s main access points. Residents were urged to stay indoors while the search was underway. Authorities eventually found Adams, described as a heavyset, middle-aged white man with a bald head and beard, wearing a red shirt and shorts, and took him into custody on a boat later that day. Authorities made the arrest peacefully and later confirmed that the area was safe. The adult victim and one child were admitted to the hospital and were in stable condition, while the other child received treatment at the scene and was released to their family. Investigators were still working to determine whether the collision was deliberate, although early reports indicated it may have been a deliberate act. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.foxnews.com/us/sullivans-island-hit-and-run-suspect-captured-after-allegedly-running-down-adult-two-kids-beach-town |title = Sullivan's Island hit-and-run: Suspect captured after allegedly running down adult, two kids in beach town |author = Alexandra Koch |pub = Fox News |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/US/2-kids-1-adult-struck-car-church-sullivans/story?id=121368445 |title = 2 kids, 1 adult struck by car outside church preschool in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina |author = Matt Foster, Emily Shapiro, and Meredith Deliso |pub = ABC News |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/manhunt-south-carolina-police-search-armed-suspect-hit-2-kids-1-adult-rcna204261 |title = Suspect arrested after 2 kids, 1 adult hit by vehicle in South Carolina |author = David K.

Montana joined Possessed in 1983, left the band in 1984, and was 60 years old when he died. The shootout lasted approximately 25 minutes. The incident allegedly stemmed from an argument with a neighbor over {{w|clipping (gardening)|tree clippings}} at the 300 block of Arroyo Drive. Montana reportedly pulled a gun on his neighbor when the quarrel escalated, and fired rounds at his neighbor's house. Police arrived on scene after receiving complaints of gunfire, and stated Montana opened fire on them with a {{w|handgun}}, {{w|shotgun}} and {{w|rifle}}. Montana used landscaping scenery and surrounding vehicles in the driveway to shield himself from gunfire during the incident, while police used their squad cars for protection. Police eventually managed to neutralize Montana after successfully landing a shot on him. After life-saving measures were attempted, Montana was pronounced dead at the scene. Police stated that one resident in the house that Montana was firing at sustained what was described as a "graze wound," and required hospitalization. No other casualties were reported. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe stated that alcohol was involved in the incident. He was quoted saying, "[Montana's] death is a tragedy, but it’s fortunate that nobody else [was] hit or injured more seriously.” Possessed vocalist Jeff Becerra took to the band's official {{w|Instagram}} and wrote: "The Brian I know is from when we were still just kids back in the beginning of Possessed. He was nothing like what I'm seeing being written about him. In fact, I think that's one of the reasons that led to him leaving Possessed. He just wasn't willing to be as dark as we wanted him to be at that time.

I'd suggest the following areas to be potentially supported by a grant: *Developing a [[w:Social news website]] functionality *Integrating more closely with Wikipedia, particularly [[w:Wikipedia:In the news]] and the daily [[w:Portal:Current events]] *Wikidata items for new stories across publications, tying into the larger knowledge graph *Better communications channels, and community support through editing events/contests *Working with students and journalism schools, working on Wikinews as a class assignment *Annex for newsworthy topics that don't fit Wikipedia notability *Regional and topical newsdesks and feeds *Explore creative but responsible uses of AI All of this would emphasize and build on Wikinews' strong NPOV and human-centered collaborative tradition. This vision would also strengthen the traditional Wikinews mode of articles with a fixed publication date, while also enabling other modes of development and access to news-related information. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 18:37, 19 November 2024 (UTC) :* Social news website - suggest off-wiki - probably [[:w:Lemmy]] :* Wikipedia news integration - suggest last on the list after everything else is fixed due to previous issues (they have a large issue with Wikinews lacking 'assume good faith' approach where instead 'never assume' is preferred, and with the low pass rate of new sensible news articles) :* Wikidata maybe OK, I'm not experienced :* Better communication channels - official media is IRC - I am willing to help by providing access to my [[:w:Quassel]] for testing - for long term use I suggest finding somewhere else to host. Or I could help with self hosting Matrix. :* Sounds great I am happy to make some additional documentation for students i.e. video tutorial :* That's [[WN:OR|original reporting]], indeed not eligible for Wikipedia.

And WMF '''has''' been funding journalist organizations through several rounds of [[meta:Knowledge Equity Fund]] (media-related organizations are in 3 out of 6 funded projects in round 1, 2 out of 7 projects in round 2, 5 out of 13 projects in round 3). Yet can anyone tell me if any of these projects collaborated with Wikinews? I don't know this community well but I am pretty confident in putting my bet at 0. In fact, in the [[:File:Knowledge Equity Fund (Round 1) - Borealis philanthropy report.pdf|project report produced by Borealis Racial Equity in Journalism Fund]] (round 1 recipient), they laid it out clearly on first page of the report that they have 0 new images/media added to Wikimedia articles, 0 articles created/improved on Wikimedia projects, and 0 bytes of value added to Wikimedia projects. What on earth is WMF paying them $850,000 for? Another round 1 recipient, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), [[:File:Knowledge Equity Fund (Round 1) - ARIJ report.pdf|reported that]] they published articles elsewhere. Why aren't they (ARIJ) publishing it in Wikinews? Why isn't WMF imposing a condition such that the journalism-area grant recipients must publish their articles in Wikinews in addition to other places they preferred? I haven't combed round 2 or round 3 recipients' reports but I expect similar outcomes. Wikinews community ''should'' grab their pitchforks, speak up and demand answers from WMF grant team on why they didn't impose conditions for projects that closely align with Wikinews. Given that the Knowledge Equity Fund is [[meta:Knowledge Equity Fund/Criteria|continuing to fund]] media and journalism organization, I think this is a lower hanging fruit than requesting grants specifically for Wikinews.

Actually, what I had thinking about principally was not applying to WMF at all, but rather to independent philanthropies interested in the future of journalism. Still, it makes a lot of sense to build up this connection, and though I think WMF were unsure about how to navigate it in the past, maybe we can make it clear that Wikinews is indeed now open for such collaborations.

Agreed tho that this project is unique among all the WMF projects where there is a critical mass that is needed to be even functional. At, e.g. [[:s:]], you can take an indefinite amount of time to keep on adding source texts and while a library is best when it has a lot of entries, at least having a few is a good start and you keep building it up over time and it just becomes more and more useful (this is also how Project Gutenberg has worked). But at a news site, stories cease to be news over time. We're falling behind in a more radical way than any other project is or could be. Projects like Wikipedia and Wiktionary are getting closer to their goals of being comprehensive, general interest encyclopedias and dictionaries/thesauruses, etc. but Wikinews is only getting worse off. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 15:57, 22 November 2024 (UTC) ::::::@[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] To be fair, Wikinews doesn't speak up, nobody even knows you guys are grabbing your pitchforks (or that there's 0 individuals willing to grab a pitchfork). Imagine if a grant proposal requests for funding to take photos but the photos don't get uploaded to Commons, that proposal wouldn't get approved. If I were a Wikinews participant, I would strongly demand WMF (and the board of trustees) that funded journalism organizations has to contribute articles in Wikinews.

It was also a good night for the {{w|Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats}} who came second with 370 seats. They also took outright control of three county councils; {{w|2025 Cambridgeshire County Council election|Cambridgeshire}}, {{w|2025 Oxfordshire County Council election|Oxfordshire}} and {{w|2025 Shropshire Council election|Shropshire}}.

Category:Fish . 4855441 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 6, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Template:Biology}} [[File:CSIRO ScienceImage 11186 The Endangered Spotted Handfish.jpg| thumb|left|Female spotted handfish with her eggs {{image source|CSIRO}}]] On Tuesday, April 29, {{W|Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation}} (CSIRO) researchers have released 15 juvenile captive bred {{W|spotted handfish}} originated at {{W|Seahorse World}} in [[Tasmania]] into the wild, at undisclosed location in {{W|River Derwent (Tasmania)|River Derwent}} near {{W|Hobart}}. To help the critically endangered fish adapt to the new environment, the researchers provided them with "handfish hotels". The researchers were planning to remove the "hotels" in approximately two weeks to encourage integration with the surrounding environment; until then, the researchers were planning to closely monitor the fish, with the unique spots being used to identify individuals. The breeding program, supported with funding by the Derwent Estuary Program, had started in 2017 and involved setting up two satellite populations: at Seahorse World and at the {{W|Melbourne Aquarium}}. CSIRO research technician and project lead Carlie Devine said "Today is our first ever release of captive-bred juveniles, so we're very excited to put them in the water. ... It's been a long journey, first of all we had to work out how to get them to breed in captivity. ...It is still a very rare event for them to breed in captivity." Senior biologist Rachelle Hawkins said that the 15 released fish are part of the 35 that hatched, with the remainder staying at the aquarium to continue boosting the captive population. Ms Hawkins said a hurdle to breeding was difficulty with identifying a handfish's sex, which was resolved in 2023 when the aquarium was able to use ultrasound to determine the sex. Tasmanian artist Jane Bamford had been making the artificial spawning habitats that the handfish lays its eggs on in the captive breeding program. Jane has by now hand-crafted 7,500 ceramic poles. Ms Devine said about the "handfish hotels": "We will have an intensive monitoring program ... we will check on the fish and do a hotel room service every couple of days to make sure they are all good and happy. The fish won't move much, so will be easy to find in the hotels, which they will keep for about two weeks. ... Once we remove the hotels, hopefully they will go on their merry way and integrate. We want to make sure they can survive in the wild. They are very hardy fish so we are positive that they will be fine. It's a long process and this is just one step in our captive breeding program." The spotted handfish is an unusual fish, in that it has highly adapted {{W|pectoral fins}}, which appear like hands -- hence the name -- and allow it to walk on the seafloor. The species is classified as critically endangered on the {{W|IUCN Red List}} 2020 and has a restricted range, being found only in the estuary of Derwent River, Tasmania, and nearby areas. It was first listed as critically endangered in 1996, and became the first marine fish to join the list. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/underwater-hotels-spotted-handfish-release-tasmania/105228344 |title = Underwater 'hotels' in place to give spotted handfish a head start to life outside captivity |author = Georgie Burgess |pub = ABC |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/australia-releases-15-endemic-spotted-handfish-into-wild-for-1st-time-3701568 |title = Australia releases 15 endemic spotted handfish into wild for 1st time |author = |pub = Yeni Şafak |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://au.news.yahoo.com/aussies-amazed-by-adorable-video-of-extremely-rare-species-very-cute-225013322.html |title=Aussies amazed by adorable video of extremely rare species: 'Very cute' |author=Brianne Tolj |pub=Yahoo!

The image bore great similarity to the Pope's garments. President Trump himself had posted the image to his {{w|Truth Social}} account. The posts came as the {{w|Catholic Church}} mourns the {{w|death of Pope Francis}}, which occurred eleven days prior on April 21. Trump had joked about wanting to be Pope to reporters several days before the post was published. [[File:Pope Pius XII – Michael Pitcairn (1951).jpg|thumb|left|Pope Pius XII {{image source|Michael Pitcairn, [[commons:User:Paruccini|Paruccini]]}}]] A spokesperson for the {{w|New York State Catholic Conference}} criticized the post on X, stating that the president was "mocking" the faith. They said in a statement: "There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St Peter. Do not mock us." Former {{w|Italian}} Prime Minister {{w|Matteo Renzi}} also criticized the post, expressing his belief that the image "offends believers, insults institutions and shows that the leader of the right-wing world enjoys clowning around." The White House denied that the post was intended to [[wiktionary:affront|affront]] or disparage the Catholic Church. White House press secretary {{w|Karoline Leavitt}} was quoted saying: "President Trump flew to Italy to pay his respects to Pope Francis and attend his funeral, and he has been a staunch champion for Catholics and religious liberty." The {{w|Vatican}} declined to comment on Trump's post. The event of a pope's death and the subsequent election is traditionally approached with "utmost solemnity" among practionioners of the Catholic faith in the Vatican, according to ''AP News''. Former US President {{w|Joe Biden}} had previously been accused of mocking the Catholic faith due to a gesture at a {{w|pro-choice}} rally. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two

game series ― and the sequel to 2013's ''{{w|Grand Theft Auto V}}'' ― had been pushed back until May 26, 2026. The release had been previously slated for fall 2025. The reason for the delay given by Rockstar was to ensure the release was up to par with the quality level that the series' fans "expect and deserve." The company apologized for the delay, explaining that it aims to exceed customer expectations with every release, stating that ''Grand Theft Auto VI'' was "no exception." ''Grand Theft Auto VI'' is "expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time," according to ''{{w|IGN}}''. Its predecessor ― ''Grand Theft Auto V'' ― remains popular among fans of the series eleven years removed from its launch on September 17, 2013. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-delayed-to-may-2026 |title = GTA 6 Delayed to May 2026 |author = Wesley Yin-Poole |pub = IGN |date = May 2, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.theverge.com/news/660057/grand-theft-auto-6-release-date-delay-may-2026 |title = Grand Theft Auto VI release delayed to May 2026 |author = Tom Warren |pub = The Verge |date = May 2, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{DISPLAYTITLE:''Grand Theft Auto&nbsp;VI'' release date pushed back until May 2026}} {{Publish}} 0gi8f3glvnj5kaovtp68cqvx3x0kvh0 0 3013991 4855818 4855817 2025-05-07T22:45:20Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 4855818 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|May 7, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Peru_-_La_Libertad_Department_(locator_map).svg|thumb|left|Location of the La Libertad Region in Peru. {{image source|User:Huhsunqu}}]] On Sunday, May 4, in {{w|Peru}}'s {{w|Pataz}} province in the northern {{w|Department of La Libertad}} region, near one of Peru’s largest {{w|gold mines}}, police has found bodies of thirteen security guards who were kidnapped on Saturday, April 26, allegedly by individuals involved in illegal mining. The security guards had been employed by private security firm R&R staff, a security company that serves Libmar, an artisanal miner operating on contract with the mining company {{w|Poderosa}}. On Friday, May 2, the company stated that it was disappointed that the police were not doing enough to prevent illegal mining. On Saturday, as reported by the local news site {{w|Diario Correo}}, a video, allegedly filmed by the criminals, started circulating on social media, showing the victims being murdered by gunshot at point-blank range. Video of the victims tied up and naked was also reportedly sent to their relatives as a form of ransom prior to their deaths, which was said to have persisted for a week. Authorities believed that the perpetrators were connected with illegal mining. The victims, who were found "tied up in a pit," were initially dispatched to confront a gang that had ambushed the mine and taken control of it. The attempt to regain control of the mine was unsuccessful, and they were ultimately waylayed and captured, according to ''{{w|BBC}}''. After the discovery of the victims, the government in Peru levied a curfew on the Pataz province for the late-night hours, and gold mining in the area was suspended for 30 days. President Boluarte stated that there would be an armed military presence throughout the La Poderosa mining area, which he described as taking "full control." Spokesman Pablo de la Flor criticized the decision to shut down formal mining, arguing “That’s precisely what illegal mines want.” A state of emergency had been in effect for the region since February 2024, though La Ponderosa stated that these measures were [[wikt:nugatory|nugatory]]. A spokesperson for the company said on May 2: "The spiral of uncontrolled violence in Pataz is occurring despite the declaration of a state of emergency and the presence of a large police contingent which, unfortunately, has not been able to halt the deterioration of security conditions in the area." The firm stated that the victims had been kidnapped on April 26, and are among several dozen of its employees who had been killed in gang-related violence within the mining area. Violence related to unlawful mining has been on the rise in the region that the Ponderosa mine is located in, and Luis Guillermo Bringas, a prosecutor in Pataz, called the conflict "a war for mining pits" between mining firms and criminal gangs. The illegal gold mining industry was worth more than $6 billion in 2024, according to the Peruvian Institute of Economics. Peru is one of the world's largest gold producers, mining more than 100 tonnes a year - or about 4% of the entire world's annual supply. Reporterd suggested that similar incidents in Peru could potentially deter investors from doing business in the country. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source

None of the content changes to the article were sighted within 24 hours of being published and therefore need to be rejected. However, I think because the article has now been archived, it may not be a straight-forward thing to reject them without affecting the archive done by Leaderbot. When I try to reject all edits up to Leaderbots' first edit, I receive the error: "Cannot undo these changes because further pending edits changed the same areas." I have also tried to reject Leaderbot's first edit[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=NASA_revises_asteroid_2024_YR4_threat,_near-zero_chance_of_Earth_impact&diff=prev&oldid=4846748] (which would reject all previous, unsighted edits as well) without luck. The edits that can be accepted are those that are category changes, vandalism reverts, and the addition of archive URLs. The content changes and image addition were not sighted within 24 hours and therefore should be rejected. Maybe an admin will need to reject all unsighted changes then manually make the necessary category and template changes, to include the archiving process, re-add archive urls, and self-sight those changes.

Authorities say he removed his court-ordered ankle monitor and fled from neighboring {{w|Van Zandt County}} at 5:33 a.m. CDT (1033 UTC) that day. Opening arguments in McEuen's 2023 murder trial were scheduled for early in the week, though sources differ on whether it was Monday or Tuesday. Firefighters discovered McEuen was missing when they arrived to put out a barn fire on the property where McEuen had been staying while he awaited trial. Kaufman County Sheriff Bryan Beavers told the press he believed McEuen had set the fire: "He did that, I guess thinking it would burn more than what it did," Beavers said. "When the fire department got there and got everything put out, that's when we found his ankle monitor, his cell phones, and stuff in there, and he wasn't in there." He later said that he believed McEuen had left the area. {{w|United States Marshals}} are working with Texas law enforcement to apprehend McEuen, who had been released on a US$2 million bond. The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office has offered a US$10,000 reward for information leading to his capture. McEuen is accused of having killed his neighbor, Aaron Martinez, 35. Martinez was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in his truck in May 2023. According to Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA, the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office has stated that they do not consider the killing a hate crime.

Cardinal Protodeacon Dominique Mamberti announced Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost as the 267th Pope. He has taken the name of {{w|Pope Leo XIV}}. Prevost's name previously appeared as one of the ''{{W|papabili}}'', the "front-runners" of the Pope. His openness and support to the late {{W|Pope Francis}}, especially for his commitment to social justice issues sparked some interest from his peers. Pope Leo XIV became the second Pope from Americas, and the first Pope from North America, specifically. He is also the first Pope to be a {{w|Peru|Peruvian}} citizen and the first pope to hold {{w|dual citizenship}}. He was born on September 14, 1955, in {{w|Chicago}}, Illinois. He has served as the {{w|Bishop of Chiclayo}}, {{w|Peru}} from 2015 to 2023. Since 2023, he has been taking place as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops at the Vatican, which means that he has been in charge in selecting priests and vetting nominations of bishops around the world. He has been appointed as cardinal since 2024 by the late Pope Francis. On February 6, 2025, the late Pope Francis promoted him to the Order of Bishops, which granted him the title of the Suburbicarian Church of Albano. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ln80lzk7ko |title=Who is Robert Prevost, the new Pope Leo XIV? |author=Paul Kirby |pub=BBC |date=May 9, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2025-05/cardinal-elected-pope-papal-name.html |title = Leo XIV is the new Pope |author = |pub = Vatican News |date = May 8, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/cardinals-set-second-day-conclave-elect-new-pope-2025-05-08/ |title = Cardinal Prevost elected Pope Leo XIV, first US pontiff |author = Joshua McElwee, Crispian Balmer and Philip Pullella |pub = Reuters |date = May 9, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/International/new-american-pope-leo-xiv-robert-prevost/story?id=121604332 |title = What we know about Leo XIV, the new American pope |author = Meredith Deliso and Megan Forrester |pub = ABC News |date = May 9, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/next-pope-contenders-list-101d68d61be2401a85310e34b45371a9 |title = Which cardinals are seen as contenders to be the next pope? |author = |pub = AP News |date = April 22, 2025 |archiveurl = }} {{Publish}} [[Category:The Vatican]] fjlyjlc79q6xqr2caoy0khfhv0vqf79 0 3014303 4860549 4857265 2025-05-28T02:26:10Z 108.64.233.217 No 4860549 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 9, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Politics and conflicts}} [[File:KPB Portrait.jpg|thumb|left|Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar{{image source|KevanTT}}]] On Thursday, May 8, the new cabinet of [[Trinidad and Tobago]] met at the {{w|Red House}} in [[Port of Spain]], the capital.

The prime minister broke with tradition and took her oath with a hand on the constitution rather than a holy text, as is customary. The new cabinet includes both new and old members. In the election, the incumbent {{w|People's National Movement}} (PNM) was defeated after 10 years in government, and former prime minister {{w|Keith Rowley}} conceded defeat.

If they refused to pay it, they could face a minimum prison sentence of one year. Among the populations were ''[[d:Q13845320|Messor cephalotes]]'', a species of {{w |1=harvester ant}} native to {{w |1=East Africa}}. Ants are actively sought by {{w |1=exotic pet}} enthusiasts for their complex {{w |1=eusociality |2=eusocial behaviour}} that includes the building of {{w |1=Ant colony |2=colonies}}, being typically kept in large specialized devices known as {{w |1=Formicarium |2=formicaria}}. However, the unauthorized possession of any wildlife specimen (including ants) is prohibited in Kenya, and people partaking in these activities may be subject to a fine of up to USD10,000 and at least five years in prison. The men had been arrested on April 5. Two Belgian teenagers, Lornoy David and Seppe Lodewijckx, 19, were caught at a guest house with about 5,000 queen ants contained in thousands of {{w |1=Test tube |2=test tubes}} in {{w |1=Nakuru County}}, northwest of {{w |1=Nairobi}}; when inquired before the court, the teenagers said they acted out of naivety. Separately, a Vietnamese man named Duh Heng Nguyen and Kenyan national Dennis Nganga were found with 400 ants at the country's capital, in a meeting that senior magistrate Njeri Thuku said was an "elaborate scheme" that bore "the hallmarks of illegal wildlife trade and possibly {{w |1=biopiracy}}". They were all charged on April 15 in two related cases. "This is beyond a hobby", Thuku said, further comparing their actions to the slave trade: "Imagine being violently removed from your home and packed into a container with many others like you (...) where the only source of nourishment for the foreseeable future is glucose water". The Belgians' lawyer Halima Nyakinyua agreed with the sentencing and said they would not appeal. The {{w |1=Kenya Wildlife Service}} (KWS) welcomed the ruling, highlighting it as an example of Kenya's {{w |1=Zero tolerance |2=zero-tolerance policy}} on illegal wildlife trafficking. The agency also stated that the trafficking of ants could deprive the local communities from their putative ecological and economic benefits. Experts in Kenya said the case represented a broader trend of trafficking smaller and lesser known species. == Sources == *{{Source |url = https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-05-07/two-belgian-teenagers-found-with-5-000-ants-in-kenya-given-7-700-fine-or-1-year-prison-sentence |title = Two Belgian teenagers found with 5,000 ants in Kenya given $7,700 fine or 1-year prison sentence |author = Evelyne Musambi |publisher = Los Angeles Times |date = May 7, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250508022737/https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-05-07/two-belgian-teenagers-found-with-5-000-ants-in-kenya-given-7-700-fine-or-1-year-prison-sentence#expand }} *{{Source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0x07pr8dno |title = Gang who smuggled thousands of queen ants sentenced in Kenya |author = Akisa Wandera, Wycliffe Muia |publisher = BBC News Online |date = May 7, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250508032402/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0x07pr8dno }} *{{Source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/kenya-court-convicts-four-ant-traffickers-fines-each-7700-2025-05-07/ |title = Kenya court fines four men for trafficking thousands of queen ants |author = Hereward Holland, Humphrey Malalo |publisher = Reuters |date = May 7, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/W0OTM }} *{{Source |url = https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250507-kenya-court-fines-ant-smugglers-for-bio-piracy |title = Kenya court fines teens for trying to smuggle protected ants |author = [[Agence France-Presse]] |publisher = France 24 |date = May 7, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/knbPB }} *{{Source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/kenyan-agents-bust-plot-smuggle-giant-ants-sale-foreign-insect-lovers-2025-04-15/ |title = Kenyan agents bust plot to smuggle giant ants for sale to foreign insect lovers |author = Edwin Waita, Monicah Mwangi |publisher = Reuters |date = April 15, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/kR5ZW }} [[Category:Ants]] [[Category:Belgium]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Kenya]] [[Category:Nairobi]] {{Publish}} ljgmj3rsmjjpt0n4ttffduedfa7atw7 4 3014333 4856174 2025-05-09T01:20:15Z 166.196.75.72 Page created with "{{Monthpage}}" 4856174 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Monthpage}} oeyjhhhi9kw550kvxn9vnmcke1vmm7f 0 3014341 4859480 4856423 2025-05-23T12:04:36Z GreekApple123 2892521 More specific category 4859480 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 9, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{India}} [[File:Khelo India Logo English.png|thumb|left|Khelo India logo.]] Indian Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] inaugurated the {{w|2025 Khelo India Youth Games}} (KIYG) on Sunday, hailing India's overall progress in sport.

While the project depends on active reviewers to maintain momentum, the month also surfaced challenges around maintaining review quality. In particular, several articles required post-publication corrections due to sourcing and attribution concerns, underscoring the need for collective vigilance in preventing plagiarism and upholding Wikinews’ standards.

The lat/long is stripped of all but its numeric values which are then used in a call to [[Template:Coord]] for proper visual rendering and link to GeoHack. Wikidata returns text strings in this form where the minute and second symbols are html numeric character references for single and double quotes: :<code><nowiki>{{#property:P625|from=Q218501}}</nowiki></code> ::{{code|{{#property:P625|from=Q218501}}}} :::{{#property:P625|from=Q218501}} The module will accept degree-minute-second (dms) plain-text strings in the form: :<code>47°34'12"N, 52°40'55"W</code> where the minutes and seconds indicators are single and double quotes or single and double [[Prime (symbol)|prime symbols]] (′, ″; U+2032, U+2033) Latitude and longitude in decimal-degree format is also accepted: :<code>53.67667°N 112.82861°W</code> Because Template:Coord supports a variety of coordinate and template parameters, this module accepts but does not act on these parameter except to pass them on in the call to Template:Coord.

The template parameters are named so their order in the <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code> is not important. == Usage == A typical template use where the latitude / longitude is drawn from Wikidata might look like this: :<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:WikidataCoord|main|{{#property:P625|from={{{1|}}}}}|{{{2|}}}|display={{{display|}}}|format={{{format|}}}|name={{{name|}}}|notes={{{notes|}}}}}</nowiki></code> <includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|sandbox | | <!-- Categories below this line, please; interwikis at Wikidata --> }}</includeonly> 4nhavs81sg5blbnl4m30o32libr2jlx 10 3014580 4857056 2025-05-12T15:54:36Z Back ache 173926 copy from wp 4857056 wikitext text/x-wiki {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|{{{code|{{{1}}}}}}|lang={{{lang|{{{2|text}}}}}}|class={{{class|}}}|style={{{style|}}}|inline=1}}<noinclude> {{documentation}} <!-- Add categories to the /doc subpage, interwikis to Wikidata, not here --> </noinclude> c4j1dm0qlwo4osjl4tof16x31yebphy 10 3014581 4857057 2025-05-12T15:55:19Z Back ache 173926 copy from wp 4857057 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Documentation subpage}} <!-- Add categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata --> {{#ifeq: {{PAGENAME}}|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|{{High-risk}}}} {{Expensive}} ==Usage== Wraps a short span of text in <code><nowiki><syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code> tags (see [[mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight]]). This template should be used for short samples; longer content should use {{tag|pre}} or {{tag|syntaxhighlight}}. See [[Help:Wiki markup]] for an explanation of what the various tags do. If the content includes an equals sign (=), you must specify the parameter explicitly: {{tji|code|2=1:int i = 0;}}. The template uses the {{tag|syntaxhighlight|o}} tag with the attribute <code>inline=1</code>. This works like the combination of the {{tag|code|o}} and {{tag|nowiki|o}} tags, applied to the expanded wikitext. For example, {{tji|code|<nowiki>some '''wiki''' text</nowiki>}} will '''''not''''' render the word "wiki" in bold, and will render the tripled-single-quotes: :{{code|some '''wiki''' text}} If the above example is declared as wikitext (via {{tji|code|<nowiki>some '''wiki''' text</nowiki>|lang:wikitext}}, the output is rendered as follows: :{{code|some '''wiki''' text|lang=wikitext}} However, {{tji|code|<nowiki>a {{template}} call</nowiki>|lang:wikitext}} will still invoke the template: :{{code|a {{template}} call|lang=wikitext}} Use {{tag|nowiki}} around the template name to avoid this problem: :{{code|a <nowiki>{{template}}</nowiki> call|lang=wikitext}} When used inline with regular text, {{tnull|code}} generally looks best and is easiest to read when it is explicitly spaced apart from the regular text: :{{code|foo &nbsp;<nowiki>{{code|bar baz}}</nowiki>&nbsp; quux.|lang=wikitext}} is well spaced: :foo &nbsp;{{code|bar baz}}&nbsp; quux. versus: :{{code|foo <nowiki>{{code|bar baz}}</nowiki> quux.|wikitext}} which is less visually clear: :foo {{code|bar baz}} quux. because "foo" and "{{code|bar}}" will seem more closely associated than "{{code|bar}}" and "{{code|baz}}"; the width of the space character in a monospaced font is almost always larger than in a proportional font. Use parameter {{{2}}} (unnamed, as {{para|2}}, or more explicitly as {{para|lang}}) to specify a language for [[mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight]]. This option defaults to {{para|lang|text}}, i.e. no highlighting. Valid values include {{para|lang|wikitext}} for wikitext, {{para|lang|html}} for HTML, along with many other languages including {{code|php}}, {{code|perl}}, {{code|css}}, {{code|javascript}}, {{code|mysql}}. Attempting to use an invalid value for lang will cause the page to be added to [[:Category:Pages with syntax highlighting errors]], and no syntax highlighting will be present in the output. {{code|html4strict}} and {{code|html5}} used to be valid values - however, {{para|lang|html}} should be used instead. This template does not need to be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substituted]]. ===Examples=== {{markup |<nowiki>Lorem {{code|ipsum '''dolor'''}} sit amet</nowiki> |Lorem {{code|ipsum '''dolor'''}} sit amet |<nowiki>Lorem {{code|ipsum '''dolor'''|wikitext}} sit amet</nowiki> |Lorem {{code|ipsum '''dolor'''|wikitext}} sit amet |<nowiki>The declaration {{code|lang=cpp |int foo(const std::string& bar, const std::vector<long double*>& baz);}} is the prototype for a function defined later.</nowiki> |The declaration {{code|lang=cpp |int foo(const std::string& bar, const std::vector<long double*>& baz);}} is the prototype for a function defined later. |<nowiki>If the code contains an [[equals sign]], such as {{code |lang=javascript |code=var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img");}}, you must identify the first parameter explicitly as {{{1}}} or {{{code}}}; see also [[:bugzilla:5138]].</nowiki> |If the code contains an [[equals sign]], such as {{code |lang=javascript |code=var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img");}}, you must identify the first parameter explicitly as {{{1}}} or {{{code}}}; see also [[:bugzilla:5138]]. }} ===Included templates=== Embedded templates do not function as expected inside {{tl|code}}; for longer, free-form blocks of code, which can contain templates such as {{tl|var}} and {{tl|samp}}, use {{tag|code}} as a wrapper instead of this template. Templates used inside {{tl|code}} expose the rendered HTML— this can be useful. For example: <div style="overflow:auto;"> {{markup |1=<nowiki>{{code| {{cite web |title=Title |url=http://example.org}} |lang=html }}</nowiki> |2={{code| {{cite web |title=Title |url=http://example.org}} |lang=html }} }} </div> The above example shows the HTML rendered by the citation template, including the hidden metadata. == Expensive Parser Function warning == This template internally uses [[mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight]], which is considered an 'expensive parser function' (see [[WP:EXPENSIVE]]). If used on a page which uses more than 500 expensive parser functions, the output of subsequent uses of this template will be presented using {{tag|code}} formatting (without any syntax highlighting) instead. == TemplateData == {{Format TemplateData|<templatedata> { "description": "An inline source code string.", "format": "inline", "params": { "1": { "label": "Code", "aliases": ["code"], "description": "The code to display.", "required": true, "type": "string" }, "2": { "label": "Language", "aliases": ["lang"], "description": "The programming language of the source code.

The {{w|Australian Labor Party|Labor}} government won a second term in office following the landslide election victory on May 3.

According to Theeraj Athanavanich, director-general of the Customs Department, the containers were inspected the day before at the {{W|Bangkok Port|port of Bangkok}}, during a search that one source described as routine and another as random. He said the shipment was allegedly imported illegally from the United States. According to ''Devdiscourse'', it was one of the largest electronic waste (e-waste) imports Thai authorities have uncovered this year. The contents of the containers were declared to customs as "mixed metal scrap," but also contained electronic circuit boards, said Athanavanich. He said Thai officials planned to bring charges for falsely declaring imports and illegally bringing e-waste into the country. The authorities planned to refuse the containers and return them to their sender. According to AP News, citing a 2024 United Nations report, e-waste is piling up globally, with 62 million tons generated in 2022 and only 22% properly collected and recycled. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/science-environment/3381601-thailand-cracks-down-on-illegal-e-waste-imports |title = Thailand Cracks Down on Illegal E-Waste Imports |author = |pub = Devdiscourse News |date = May 15, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250515064531/https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/science-environment/3381601-thailand-cracks-down-on-illegal-e-waste-imports }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/thailand-illegal-import-electronic-waste-bangkok-port-994ef5e8c3776e9b77580d9954eebaeb |title = Thai officials seize over 200 tons of illegally imported electronic waste from the US |author = |pub = AP News |date = May 14, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250515233216/https://apnews.com/article/thailand-illegal-import-electronic-waste-bangkok-port-994ef5e8c3776e9b77580d9954eebaeb }} [[Category:Bangkok]] [[Category:Thailand]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Science and technology]] {{Publish}} celxgmhndac0i3bwaq5v5pqrhnx78j4 4 3014764 4857723 4857716 2025-05-15T17:13:14Z Gryllida 160590 revised 4857723 wikitext text/x-wiki {{ambox|text=This page is unofficial and is undergoing discussion.}} # Check the {{plainlinks|{{fullurl:Main page|action=purge}}|Main page}}, the {{plainlinks|{{fullurl:Wikinews:Newsroom|action=purge}}|Newsroom}}, and the list of {{plainlinks|{{fullurl:Wikinews:Story preparation|action=purge}}|prepared stories}} in case someone else already started the article. # Remember: no copy/paste, it is copyright violation. # Specify headline in active voice, present tense: [[Wikinews:Style guide#Headlines|article title rules and guidelines]]. # Write article content in past tense, [[WN:NPOV|minimizing bias]].

She had bought equipment such as {{w|ammunition}} and {{w|Military tactic|tactical}} gear in order to help him commit a violent attack against his school. On Sunday, May 11, upon entering his bedroom, the boy's grandmother had spotted him hammering a live bullet, and also discovered a {{w|Improvised explosive device|homemade explosive device}} containing the name of Brenton Tarrant – the perpetrator of the {{w|Christchurch mosque shootings|mosque shootings}} in {{w|Christchurch, New Zealand}} in March 2019 – and a note listing the names of mass shooting perpetrators and their respective number of victims. The boy confessed to her that his mother, Ashley Rosalinda Pardo, had taken him to {{w|military surplus}} stores to purchase a tactical vest and helmet, along with magazines about handguns and rifles, on the condition that he took care of his younger siblings. The teenager's grandmother reported her findings to the police the following day. On Monday, the student arrived at Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School in tactical gear but left soon after. As he exited the school's campus, SAPD officers apprehended and arrested him alongside his mother. The teenager, whose name and identity have not been revealed, expressed a desire to become famous before leaving for school. Ashley Pardo was released on a {{w|United States dollar|USD}}75,000 bail while being placed under {{w|house arrest}}, and she is scheduled to appear before the court on July 17. Felismina Martinez, Rhodes Middle School Principal, stated that parents must "take all potential threats seriously and act immediately to protect everyone in our care." Police were monitoring the student since January, when school officials became aware of his activities including violent drawings, a map of the school labeled "suicide route," and a stated fascination with mass shooters and their manifestos. On April, the middle school suspended him after he used one of the facility's computers to search for past mass shootings; on that same day he seriously injured himself in an unsuccessful {{w|suicide attempt}}. He later returned to the school on May 8. Pardo was reportedly nonchalant about her son's behavior, going as far as to express support for his drawings. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://people.com/ashley-pardo-mom-son-mass-shooting-texas-rhodes-middle-school-11735569 |title = Her Son Was Planning a 'Mass' Attack at Middle School.

The Justice Center staff discovered the breakout during an 8:30 a.m. headcount. Authorities quickly apprehended Kendell Myles, 20 years old — who faced attempted second-degree murder charges — in the {{W|French Quarter}}. As stated by the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office, as of Saturday afternoon, seven inmates remained at large, with the other three apprehended by Friday night - including Robert Moody and Dkenan Dennis. LA State Police said a fourth fugitive was captured on Monday — Gary C. Price, 21 years old. And on Tuesday, Corey Boyd, 19 years old, who had pled not guilty to a pending second-degree murder charge, has also been taken into custody. Sheriff Hutson reported that the inmates began forcing a cell door off its track shortly before 12:30 a.m. “They managed to break open a door,” Hutson explained, noting that a staff member was present in the pod at the time. The group exited the jail around 1:01 a.m. by breaking through a wall behind a toilet. Surveillance footage showed the escapees leaving through a dock door, scaling a wall, with some then running across to the interstate. Photos from the sheriff’s office revealed a large hole behind the toilet in the cell, with graffiti above it reading “We Innocent” and “Too Easy LoL.” Three of the missing inmates — Jermaine Donald, Derrick Groves, and Lenton Vanburen — faced second-degree murder charges. Police were also searching for fugitives wanted for aggravated assault, armed robbery, false imprisonment, battery, and several drug offenses. Authorities warned that the escapees were armed and dangerous. Local, state, and federal agencies have launched a massive search operation. For safety, officials have relocated victims connected to the fugitives. At the time, the jail was understaffed, with only 36 staff and 4 supervisors present. Sheriff Susan Hutson emphasized the urgent need for $5.2 million in lock repairs and increased staffing. Officials were reviewing security procedures, staff actions, and the possibility of inside assistance. They said they would hold anyone who aided the escape accountable. Authorities urged residents to stay alert and immediately report any suspicious activity, and not to approach the escapees. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/11-men-escape-new-orleans-jail-considered-armed/story?id=121879077 |title=5 men at large after escape from New Orleans jail, including 3 charged with murder |author=Emily Shapiro, Matt Foster, Alexandra Faul, Nadine El-Bawab, Meredith Deliso, T.

The members stated there was lack of agreement with {{w|NJ Transit|New Jersey (NJ) Transit}} officials on the terms and conditions of the new contract. NJ Transit commuter trains as well as the MTA Metro-North West of Hudson service have stopped running for the duration of the strike. The union announced that the strike was expected to last until Sunday, when, according to NJ Transit CEO {{w|Kris Kolluri}}, the two parties would meet again in Washington, D.C., with federal mediators, the {{w|National Mediation Board}}. Engineers on strike picketed at the Hoboken Terminal and in front of transit headquarters in Newark, carrying signs that said "Locomotive Engineers on Strike" and "NJ Transit: Millions for Penthouse Views Nothing for Train Crews." The penthouse views mention was a reference to the new headquarters of NJ Transit, as described in a statement by the union's national president Mark Wallace in which he cited the excessive spending on the new building while the money could be at least partially be utilised towards pay increases for the workers. He said, "NJ Transit has a half-billion dollars for a swanky new headquarters and $53 million for decorating the interior of that unnecessary building. They gave away $20 million in revenue during a fare holiday last year. They have money for penthouse views and pet projects, just not for their front-line workers. Enough is enough. We will stay out until our members receive the fair pay that they deserve." On Friday, Murphy and Kolluri said at a press conference that there is "no sense of panic" amongst NJ Transit officials and that they were "prepared" for the possibility of a strike. NJ Transit officials have estimated that the strike would "disrupt the lives of more than 350,000 commuters" and added "very limited capacity to existing New York commuter bus routes in close proximity to rail stations and contracting with private carriers to operate bus service" as temporary replacement for trains; at the same time, NJ Transit canceled both bus and train services for the concerts of {{w|Shakira}}, a {{w|Colombia|Colombian}} singer, which she was performing at {{w|MetLife Stadium}} on Thursday and Friday. Kolluri and New Jersey Gov. {{w|Phil Murphy}} held a press conference on Thursday evening, leaving negotiation table around 10pm, to forewarn travellers about the Friday strike and recommending for commuters to consider working from home, because, according to NJ Transit, even with the train replacement bus service, it predicted that they could only accommodate "approximately 20% of current rail customers". On the Sunday meeting, according to the NJ Transit CEO, the parties would aim to negotiate for engineers a pay raise that doesn't "bankrupt" the company and "put it in a death spiral". One of Kris's primary arguments was that NJ Transit going bankrupt would leave the engineers unemployed. Meanwhile, BLET union noted that NJ Transit engineers "make at least $10 less per hour" than {{w|Amtrak}} and {{w|Long Island Railroad}} employees, with the resulting attrition reducing number of NJT engineers from around 500 to around 400 within the last several months. This was the first statewide NJ Transit rail strike in 42 years. According to BLET union, its NJ Transit members had no pay raise during the last five years. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/new-jersey-transit-strike-train-engineers-nyc-08a230d45019fb96211c4b5710425cfc |title = Strike by New Jersey Transit train engineers leaves some 350,000 commuters in the lurch |author = Bruce Shipkowski |pub = AP News |date = May 17, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/US/new-jersey-transit-strike-underway-350000-commuters-scramble/story?id=121836423 |title = New Jersey Transit strike underway; some 350,000 commuters scramble for transportation |author = Megan Forrester |pub = ABC News |date = May 17, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/91336014/nj-transit-rail-strike-2025-update-how-long-demands-shakira-concert |title=NJ Transit strike update: How long it could last, impact on Shakira concert, and everything to know |author=Michael Grothaus |pub=Fast Company |date=May 16, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DIxgy9kM1bL/ |title=North America see you soon! 🐺💎 |author=Shakira |pub=Instagram |date=April 23, 2025 }} [[Category:United States]] [[Category:New Jersey]] [[Category:Transport]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Rail transport]] {{Publish}} pt1ohahbs84ktvin52s0z2p2ih0d89p 4 3014838 4861289 4861049 2025-06-01T02:59:36Z Dsuke1998AEOS 2856400 /* Experiment: matrix for project leaders (and anyone else interested) */ added myself and [[Category:Ideas]] 4861289 wikitext text/x-wiki Highly recommended: 1) Subscribe to '''[[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]]''' and stay logged in, and keep a wiki open (this can be a sister wiki such as Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons).

The blast killed at least 10 people and injured between 21 and 30 others, according to various eyewitnesses and medical reports. According to {{w|Associated Press}}, the death toll reached as high as 13. The {{w|Islamist}} {{w|extremist}} {{w|organization}} {{w|al Shabaab}} took responsibility for the attack, stating that its fighters killed up to 30 soldiers and injured 50 others. A military officer identified as Suleiman, who witnessed the attack from across the street, described the sequence of events: "A speeding {{w|tuk-tuk}} stopped, a man alighted, ran into the queue, and then blew himself up. I saw 10 people dead, including recruits and passers-by. The death toll may rise." The bomber had apparently targeted the long line of young recruits waiting at the gates of the military facility. The attack occurred at approximately 9:20 AM local time (6:20 AM GMT), according to the {{w|Ministry of Information (Somalia)}}, which confirmed that a suspected al-Shabab suicide bomber had detonated explosives outside the Xero Damaayo camp (another name for the same facility). Several countries issued statements condemning the attack on the Damanyo military base, reflecting international concern about the security situation in Somalia. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://english.aawsat.com/arab-world/5144382-suicide-attacker-somali-capital-kills-13-military-recruitment-center |title = Suicide Attacker in Somali Capital Kills 13 at a Military Recruitment Center |author = |pub = Aawsat |date = May 18, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/18/at-least-10-reported-killed-in-suicide-bomb-blast-in-somalias-mogadishu |title = At least 13 reported killed in suicide bomb blast in Somalia’s Mogadishu |author = |pub = Aljazeera |date = May 18, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/world/mogadishu-suicide-bomber-kills-at-least-10-at-army-recruitment-drive |title=Mogadishu suicide bomber kills at least 10 at army recruitment drive |author= |pub=The Straits Times |date=May 18, 2025 }} [[:Category:Somalia]] [[:Category:Africa]] q74moxe9qsbzbr0gh0gfio6zlvez8qj 0 3014949 4862856 4858373 2025-06-08T17:37:02Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Suicide Bomber Attacks Mogadishu Military Base]] to [[Suicide bomber attacks Mogadishu military base]] 4862856 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Suicide bomber attacks Mogadishu military base]] 1xm93gnhy55nenkr4u2luxz66cub6ph 0 3014957 4863385 4860424 2025-06-12T12:36:54Z InternetArchiveBot 2820886 Rescuing 0 sources and tagging 1 as dead.) #IABot (v2.0.9.5 4863385 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 26, 2025}} {{Belarus}} [[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-be.svg|left|200px|<center>Logo of the Belarusian Wikipedia</center>]] On May 17, 2025, ''Nasha Niva'' announced that Belarusian security forces had apprehended [[Maksim Lepushenka]], the [[:w:Belarusian Wikipedia|Belarusian-language Wikipedia]] sysop, on May 15, 2025. This became the latest link in a chain of detentions of Belarusian Wikipedians in recent months. Lepushenka was a highly experienced figure in the Belarusian-language Wikipedia: he was a veteran editor, the sole bureaucrat, and had been a sysop since 2007. Despite his academic focus on the ancient [[:w:History of Belarus|history of Belarus]], he devoted considerable time to maintaining order and resolving conflicts within the platform. Following the detention of the sole bureaucrat, the granting of sysop rights in Belarusian Wikipedia became technically impossible. [[File:Вікіфікацыя ў Баранавічах, 2016, кастрычнік.jpg|thumb|center|600px|<center>Belarusian Wikipedia sysop Maxim Lepushenko (left) with Wikipedians.<br/> Meeting in Baranovichi, 2016 {{image source|[[Commons:User:Mr. Zabej|Mr. Zabej]]|paren=""}}</center>]] In early May 2025, the Belarusian authorities detained [[Olga Sitnik]] (nickname - Khomelka), an editor and another sysop of the Belarusian Wikipedia. She was given 10 days of administrative arrest and placed in a detention center located in the 1st Okrestina Lane. Authorities had previously detained her on April 17th but later released her. The release date is unknown. Oleg Yunakov, an active contributor to Russian Wikipedia, shared his comments on the events. == Comments from Oleg == As can be seen from ''[[:w:Okrestina|Okrestina]]'' article on Russian Wikipedia:<blockquote>"Okrestina" has become a household name, and the expression "to end up in Okrestina" means "to be detained" or simply "to end up in prison." The term, named after the detention center, has become a symbol of the torture of peaceful citizens who disagreed with the election fraud and participants in the protests in Belarus (2020-2021).</blockquote> Minsk resident Olga Sitnik, who dedicates herself to raising her three minor children, is an active participant in the Belarusian Wikipedia. In her free time from family responsibilities, she enriches the section with knowledge in the fields of motherhood, culture, and nature. Her contributions were recognized by the community in 2010 when she became a sysop. [[File:Volha Sitnik at Wikimania London 2014 258A1852.jpg|thumb|center|600px|<center> Olga Sitnik (nickname - Khomelka) {{image source|[[Commons:User:Victor Grigas|Victor Grigas]]|paren=""}}</center>]] These are far from the first and not the only two instances of repressive actions against members of the Belarusian wiki community. On March 13, 2025, the editor with the nickname Kazimier Lachnovič (real name unknown) disappeared from the information space. In addition to creating articles, he was an sysop (one of four) and a bureaucrat (a user with the ability to grant sysop rights) of the "Tarashkevitsa" section. There are two language sections in Belarus – one in Belarusian and the other in Tarashkevitsa. <div style="background-color: #FFFFDD; border: 1px solid #808000; padding: 5px; {{border-radius|16px 8px 16px 8px}}">'''Tarashkevitsa, classic orthography''' (Belarusian: тарашкевіца, класічны/клясычны правапіс) is a variant of Belarusian orthography (including grammar and language norms) developed based on the literary standard of the modern Belarusian language. The first standardization was carried out by Branislaw Tarashkevich in 1918, and this variant was official until 1933. The name reflects its greater correspondence to Tarashkevich's 1918 work compared to the official orthography and likely originated before World War II.</div> In addition to the disappearance of the sysop with the nickname Kazimier Lachnovič, at the end of 2024, a Wikipedia user with the nickname Stary Jolup, who works in the "Tarashkevitsa" section, was detained (though not formally for editing articles). Under Kazimier Lachnovič's activity, the section stated that the state language of Belarus is Belarusian, the flag is white-red-white, and the coat of arms is Pahonia. Lukashenka, who has controlled power for decades, was described as the "head of the occupation administration." A week after the user with the nickname Kazimier Lachnovič disappeared, propagandist Lyudmila Hladkaya stated in her material that "Wikipedia is a weapon of mass destruction against post-Soviet countries, and the Belarusian section is edited from Poland." The "Nasha Niva" publication suggests that the arrests of several sysops of the Belarusian-language Wikipedia in a short period appear to be interconnected, especially in conjunction with the start of attacks by propagandists, for which there are no obvious reasons. A commentator with the nickname Mkh noted under the "Nasha Niva" article: <blockquote>They brought order to the media, and now they've turned to Wikipedia. It seems they've just begun the second part of their plan: # They expelled all the activists to Poland. # Now they're shouting that "the entire Belarusian Wikipedia is edited from Poland." # They want to impose their version of "truth" on the youth. They scolded Grisha for extremism on YouTube, and even GUBOPiK (Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and Corruption) wasn't scared; as a result, they just barked at YouTube. Wikipedia has another feature: it stores the IP addresses of anonymous "lawyers" in open access. Just "take and go" from house to house.</blockquote> It's important to note that after 2022, in the Belarusian Wikipedia, the edit history of political articles, which allowed one to see who made the changes, became hidden at the oversight level. This means that the IP addresses and account names of editors are now inaccessible not only to readers and Wikipedia editors but even to the Belarusian section's sysops. The tactic of concealment was first tried in the Russian-language section, and then followed in the Belarusian one, where it was raised to the level of auditors. As [[:w:Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|Radio Liberty]] wrote on the symbolic date of May 9, 2022, regarding the previous high-profile repressions against Belarusian Wikipedians:<blockquote>"Any of us could end up in the place of Pavel Pernikov and Mark Bernstein," says [[Oleg Yunakov]]. "By default, everyone who edits an article remains in the edit history. And if someone previously mentioned their personal data on Wikipedia, then it's possible to link an edit to a person. We in the Arbitration Committee made an unprecedented decision a couple of months ago: to hide all authors of edits in articles on military topics. They remain authors, but they are not visible to outsiders. Therefore, it will be almost impossible to accuse someone now. The problem is that Mark and Pavel were taken before we implemented this." </blockquote> As a reminder, [[:w:Detention of Mark Bernstein|Mark Bernstein was detained]] on March 11, 2022, by Belarusian security forces from GUBOPiK, presumably due to his alleged work on the article about the [[:w:Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. He was charged on March 26 under Article 342.1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (organization or participation in actions grossly violating public order), and on June 24, he received a sentence of 3 years of restriction of freedom. This term expired in January 2025, but Bernstein is still restricted from leaving the country and is required to check in weekly. His arrest caused widespread resonance in the wiki community, and human rights activists recognized Bernstein as a political prisoner. [[File:Flickr - Wikimedia Israel - Wikimania 2011 - Beach party (110).jpg|thumb|center|600px|<center>Mark Bernstein at the 2011 Wikipedians meeting {{image source|[[Commons:User:Wikimedia Israel|Wikimedia Israel]]|paren=""}}</center>]] [[:w:Human rights defender|Human rights activist]] and editor of several language versions of Wikipedia, Pavel Pernikov, was sentenced on April 7, 2022, by the court of the Moscow district of Brest, presided over by Judge Yevgeny Bregan, to two years of imprisonment in a general regime colony at the request of prosecutor Yelena Tikhanovich. The basis for the verdict was several edits in articles on the Russian and Belarusian Wikipedias, as well as a publication on the website of the [[:w:International Society for Human Rights|International Society for Human Rights]]. Belarusian human rights activists recognized Pernikov as a political prisoner. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{Translated Wikinews | language = Russian | wiki = ru | title = «А я сейчас вам покажу, откуда на Википедию готовилось нападение» |lang = ru }} * {{source|url=https://nashaniva.com/ru/368138 |title=Задержали администратора белорусской Википедии Максима Лепушенко |author= |pub=Наша Нiва |date=May 17, 2025 |lang=ru }} * {{source|url=https://nashaniva.com/ru/367720 |title=Администратора белорусской Википедии посадили на сутки |author= |pub=Наша Нiва |date=May 15, 2025 |lang=ru }} * {{source|url=https://www.svoboda.org/a/nikto-ne-budet-progibatsa-pod-cenzuru-wikipedia-vo-vremya-voiny/31841297.html |title="Никто не будет прогибаться под цензуру".

In talk pages, keep responses short. If you can write 4 words instead of 400, do it. This saves time and creates a collaborative atmosphere. 2. Keep messages actionable. If there is an issue then of course describing it helps. What helps better is ficusing on the action required to be taken. 3. Keep messages specific. "I removed some unverified material" is not specific. "I removed one sentence about the color of the dog and another about the name of its owner" is. 4. If something works, do not touch it. If you need to, make incremental improvements and provide ample time for feedback. Avoid disrupting existing workflows. 5. Take action yourself when you can. This may include necessary edits or a lookup, digging for a confirmation. 6. See also technical details how to stay in the loop at [[Wikinews:Watching pages]].

As per the arrest affidavit, the worker claimed that an inmate threatened "{{w|Shiv (weapon)|shanking}}", and another inmate attempted to steal his phone demanding a book with {{w|Cash App}} details, while the supervising guard left to fetch food.

Arrested in February 2024, Christopher Ringrose, 34 years old, and Marco Pitzettu and Brogan Stewart, both of them 25 years old, had a nine-week trial which began in early March, with the court given evidence including that about over 200 weapons, including {{W|crossbow}}s, {{W|machete}}s, and {{w|sword}}s found in raids in the residences of the accused in the {{W|Derbyshire}}, {{W|Staffordshire}} and {{W|Yorkshire}} counties. Detective Chief Superintendent James Dunkerley, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, stated "Some of their defence in court was that it was all fantasy or just part of harmless chat, however all three took real world steps to plan and prepare for carrying out an attack on innocent citizens." Prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford told jurors "It was their belief that there must soon come a time when there would be a race war between the white and other races". The three men were communicating only online, such as, on Telegram, including channel "Einsatz 14", where the undercover officer was able to infiltrate the group which was led by Stewart. Besides planning an act of terrorism, each of them was also charged with two counts of "collecting information which may be useful to someone preparing an act of terrorism". Also, Ringrose was charged with manufacturing a prohibited weapon, as he had 3D-printed components for a FGC9 semi-automatic firearm and had almost completed it. At a previous hearing, Pitzettu pleaded guilty to obtaining an illegal "stun gun". The judge, Mrs Justice Cutts, told the convicted: "You must all expect substantial custodial sentences." The sentencing was planned for July 17. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/three-british-neo-nazis-convicted-planning-attack-part-race-war-2025-05-14/ |title = Three British neo-Nazis convicted of planning attack as part of 'race war' |author = |pub = Reuters |date = May 15, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/14/uk-neo-nazis-convicted-of-planning-mosque-synagogue-race-war-attack |title = UK neo-Nazis convicted of planning mosque, synagogue ‘race war’ attack |author = |pub = Aljazeera |date = May 14, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.lbc.co.uk/crime/neo-nazi-extremists-guilty-of-planning-terror-attacks/ |title=Neo-Nazi extremists guilty of planning terror attacks |author=Will Conroy |pub=LBC |date=May 14, 2025 }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Terrorism convictions]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] {{Publish}} nmhojllzpf7ynaqkbc3282i3voa8igz 12 3015103 4865871 4865870 2025-06-24T16:35:38Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 /* Checked sources panel */ add screenshot 4865871 wikitext text/x-wiki [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ Earwig’s Copyvio Detector] is an external tool designed to help contributors identify potential issues of non-original content in articles. It detects ''similarity'' between the text of a target page, such as a Wikinews article and content found online. This can include: *Pages linked from the article (including the Sources section) *Pages returned by a search query based on the article’s content == What the tool does == [[File:Earwig-screenshot-panel1.png|thumb|right|alt=earwig screenshot|Earwig results indicating 9.9% similarity with checked sources]] Earwig’s tool provides a percentage similarity score. This number indicates how much of the article matches other content online, but: * It does not measure the percentage of copyright violation. * It can detect quotations, even if properly attributed, and report them as similar. * It may flag source titles (e.g., in the Sources section) as part of the similarity, especially if they resemble the article’s title (as they should). * It has no direct correlation to or foundation in Wikinews policies and/or guidelines == What the tool does not do == Earwig’s tool does not determine whether matched content is copyrighted. Contributors must manually check if a source is: * Public domain * Freely licensed * Claimed under fair use * Or copyrighted and restricted Even if content is free to use, it can still be '''plagiarized''' if copied without attribution or presented as original. '''Plagiarism concerns authorship; copyright concerns legal rights.''' Both matter on Wikinews. === A note on "scuffing" === Superficially rewording source material, often called "scuffing," is not enough to avoid plagiarism. Changing a few words or rearranging sentences without producing original writing still misrepresents authorship and violates Wikinews standards. In Earwig’s report, scuffed content may show up as: * A low to moderate similarity percentage, even when much of the paragraph closely mirrors a source. * Multiple short red highlights scattered through a paragraph, rather than one continuous block. These may be common phrases or key terms left unchanged. * A source that shows many “Compare” matches, but no single one appears severe—yet taken together, they suggest the structure, flow, and word choice are not original. Always aim to write in your own words, based on a full understanding of the source, not by mimicking its form. == Human judgment is required == [[File:Earwig-screenshot-panel3.png|thumb|right|Earwig will identify text that is the same in our article and other articles. The article titles in our Sources section, for example, can increase "similarity" but is not an indication of [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]]] Earwig’s tool is only a guide. It is not definitive. Reviewers and authors must use editorial judgment to determine whether content is: '''Plagiarism''' - using someone else’s work and presenting it as one’s own without proper attribution. '''Copyright violation''' (copyvio) — reusing copyrighted material without permission or proper legal basis. Even when the similarity score is high, properly quoted and sourced material is usually not plagiarism or copyvio. == Understanding Earwig’s output == Earwig presents its results in a way designed to help users compare the article’s content with potential sources in a side-by-side manner. A permalink example of a result is available [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikinews&oldid=4853180&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1 here]. It can be used as a reference for the following description: === Checked sources panel === [[File:Earwig-screenshot-panel2.png|thumb|right|alt=earwig screenshot|Each source checked has it's own percent-similarity score]] Below the panel reporting the percent similarity is the “Checked sources” section. This lists the web pages Earwig examined for similarity to the target article. For each source, it displays: * The percentage similarity to the article * A “Compare” link that opens a direct side-by-side comparison Depending on the settings used, these sources are typically drawn from: * Pages cited in the article’s Sources section * Search results found by querying portions of the article text === Article vs Source pane === Beneath the “Checked sources” panel are two side-by-side panes: The left pane, labeled '''Article''', shows excerpts from the Wikinews article The right pane, labeled '''Source''', shows matched content from external web sources Phrases highlighted in red in both panes are identical strings of text. These show verbatim matches between the article and a source. The right (Source) panel may display content from multiple sources. As you scroll down, each new source is clearly introduced with its title, allowing you to track which parts of the article match which source. == Action required when seeing plagiarism and/or copyright violations == Contributors are strongly encouraged to check the article before submitting for review by clicking the 'Earwig' link in the 'developing' template at the top of the article. This link will automatically start an evaluation by Earwig and report the results in the same page. Once Earwig flags similar phrases, each should be reviewed for potential plagiarism or copyvio. Phrases that are formal titles, widely used expressions, or routine factual language are typically not violations. To deal with plagiarism or copyvio: # The offending phrase(s) needs to be '''written in your own words''' or '''removed'''. If you don't have time to do this, leave a note on the talk/collaboration page of the article. # If you are not the original author, notify them. # If the article is already edit protected, request an admin to address the text using {{tl|Editprotected}} in the article talk space. :*'''Note for reviewers and administrators:''' If plagiarism or copyvio is removed from a published article, a {{tl|Correction}} notice must also be added to the article. If the entire article is a copyright violation or plagiarism, then # Blank the article and tag it using {{tl|Copyvio}}. # Notify the author at their personal talk page using {{tl|Copyvio notice}}. == Bottom line == Earwig is a helpful tool for detecting textual similarity, but it doesn’t judge plagiarism or copyright violation. High similarity doesn’t always mean copyvio and low similarity doesn’t guarantee originality. '''Plagiarism''' is about misrepresenting authorship. <BR>'''Copyvio''' is about reusing protected content without permission. Use Earwig as a guide, but always apply human judgment. And write articles using original language. 1tzbb4t6c1z6bf5jh378k623u76mr7a 0 3015107 4860505 4860497 2025-05-27T16:13:25Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Neither source explicitly states that there is a “lack of a significant unified right-wing opposition” in parliament.

The two parties' coalition has been the dominant centre-right and right-wing party in Australian politics, opposing the centre-left Labor Party. But following the Coalition's historic defeat at the [[w:2025_Australian_federal_election|2025 Federal Election]], the Nationals have decided to leave the party, ending a decades long alliance. In his announcement, Littleproud cited growing differences in policy, including budgeting and nuclear power, and the party's poor performance at the recent 2025 election. The election itself was historic, with Liberal leader {{w|Peter Dutton}} losing his seat to a Labor MP (the first opposition leader to do so in the country's history) after leading the party to one of the most decisive election defeats in Australian history. The two parties have engaged in discussions to reform the coalition, but currently the Nationals have decided to sit apart from the Liberals and are not part of a coalition agreement. According to ABC election analyst Antony Green, the Liberal and National parties are unlikely to form a government independently. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-20/nationals-will-not-re-enter-coalition-agreement/105313818 |title = Nationals call it quits on decades-long coalition with Liberals |author = Maani Truu |pub = ABC News |date = May 20, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/nationals-and-liberals-will-not-form-a-coalition/p91moqt38 |title = No-alition: Littleproud announces Nationals and Liberals will not form a Coalition |author = Ewa Staszewska |pub = SBS |date = May 20, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Australia]] {{Publish}} 50yndp8zvtufvbftavjxwq2vvq2pdwo 0 3015111 4866340 4858939 2025-06-28T13:31:46Z CptViraj 2794342 Requesting speedy deletion (Broken redirect). 4866340 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Delete|1=Broken redirect}} #REDIRECT [[Interpol facilitates arrest of Peruvian organised crime suspect in Medellin, Colombia]] 75y2r2aijoc628nlegw9557o4j17mlq 102 3015125 4859000 2025-05-21T11:43:20Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4859000 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3015128 4859018 2025-05-21T12:23:14Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4859018 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3015134 4859044 2025-05-21T14:07:05Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [["Too Easy LoL": ten inmates escape from Orleans Parish Prison in Louisiana, United States]] to [["Too Easy LoL": messages written on cell wall as ten inmates escape from Orleans Parish Prison in Louisiana, United States]]: Trying different wording revert if wrong. 4859044 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [["Too Easy LoL": messages written on cell wall as ten inmates escape from Orleans Parish Prison in Louisiana, United States]] s29sk2fbgwmvpavpevw4wuft7uhzgax 0 3015140 4862086 4861727 2025-06-03T21:50:49Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Mark as abandoned., Remove use of template:Date to remove article from date category.

Trump claimed to have heard "thousands of stories" about white South African's facing violence, but Ramaphosa, who is a cattle farmer himself, denied it. According to PBS, experts say that, while there is a large amount of violent crime in South Africa, it does not land disproportionately on white residents. In South Africa, white peoples make up 7 percent of the population and own about 80 percent of the farmland. The connection between the two countries remains strained. The Trump administration stopped relief to South Africa and accused their government of aiding in violence against Afrikaners&mdash;White South Africans. Secretary of State [[Marco Rubio]] stated earlier in May that Afrikaners escaping persecution are welcome to come to the United States. At an agricultural fair in Bothaville May 21, South Africans expressed confusion about the Trump administration's choices: "Crime affects both Black and white," said Thobani Ntonga, a Black farmer from Eastern Cape. "…It’s an issue of vulnerability. Farmers are separated from your general public. We're not near towns, we are in the rural areas." "Crime especially hits small-scale farmers worse because they don't have resources for private security," Afrikaner farmer Willem de Chavonnes Vrugt told the press. He went on to wonder why farmers would want to leave the land where their families had worked for generations. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-says-theres-a-genocide-in-south-africa-but-white-afrikaner-farmers-reject-that-claim |title = Trump says there's a 'genocide' in South Africa, but white Afrikaner farmers reject that claim |author = |pub = PBS |date = May 21, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/05/21/South-Africa-Ramaphosa-Trump-meeting-relations/5071747826838/ |title = Tensions flare during Trump meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa |author = Ian Stark and Allen Cone |pub = UPI |date = May 21, 2025 |archiveurl = }} o6plj1xamowuapklw006kkkuy9gyf1z 0 3015164 4859950 4859940 2025-05-25T11:06:27Z BigKrow 2871522 Undo revision [[Special:Diff/4859940|4859940]] by [[Special:Contributions/Mononesh Das 2024|Mononesh Das 2024]] ([[User talk:Mononesh Das 2024|talk]]) 4859950 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 22, 2025}} [[File:LAMP Logotipo Fondo Blanco.png|thumb|left|alt=Logo of the Mexican Pacific Winter League |Logo of the Mexican Pacific Winter League, Liga ARCO Mexicana del Pacifico, or LAMP {{image|[https://www.lmp.mx/ https://www.lmp.mx/]}}]] {{Arizona}} On Tuesday, the [[w:Mayos_de_Navojoa|Mayos de Navojoa]] of the {{W|Mexican Pacific Winter League}} (MPL) announced a move to [[Tucson]], [[Arizona]], becoming the first professional baseball team to represent the city in over a decade.

The Mayos are relocating across the border from their base in [[Sonora]], [[Mexico]]. According to the MPL President, the team faced financial and logistical challenges that made it hard to remain in Mexico, including those that arose in the wake of the [[COVID-19|COVID-19 pandemic]]. The Mayos signed a one-year contract, though according to the ''Arizona Daily Star'', Tucson officials are hoping it will lead to a multi-year arrangement. According to Victor Cuevas, president of the Mayos, the team are set to rename themselves with the help of fan input. According to ''All Sports,'' reports had first emerged about a possible move a few months ago. Sonora Governor {{w|Alfonso Durazo Montaño}} announced plans to convert {{W|Estadio Manuel "Ciclón" Echeverría|their former stadium}} into a school for young baseball players, similar to what happened with the {{W|Estadio Héctor Espino}}, according to ''El Sol de Hermosillo.''

Although the lanes have since reopened, residual congestion persisted for some time after the incident. On Friday, May 23, 2025, several suspects were apprehended after a police chase situated on Interstate 80 in the Berkeley area, close to the University Avenue and Ashby Avenue exits. The pursuit started when San Francisco police began following a vehicle believed to be connected to an attempted carjacking. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was alerted to the pursuit at around 1:50 p.m. Key Details of the Pursuit During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle reportedly while fleeing, the suspect vehicle allegedly tried to hit an , further intensifying the incident escalating the situation. Aerial footage captured the chase ending on I-80, where at least three suspects exited the moving vehicle and attempted to flee on foot along the freeway. All suspects were detained by officers on the scene. Related Incidents and Context While the May 23, 2025, incident was linked to an attempted carjacking, there have been other recent high-profile police pursuits in Berkeley involving armed robberies and dangerous suspects. For example, in March 2023, two armed robberies in Berkeley led to a pursuit on I-80, though no arrests were made in that case. Additionally, in a separate May 2025 incident, a police chase in the area involved a suspect throwing a bag containing a live grenade from a vehicle, prompting a major law enforcement response and freeway closures. Public Safety Response The CHP and local police responded rapidly, shutting down portions of I-80 to ensure public safety and apprehend the fleeing suspects. No injuries were reported in the immediate aftermath of the May 23, 2025, pursuit. Ongoing Investigation As of the latest updates, authorities have not released further details about the suspects or potential charges. Investigations into both the attempted carjacking and the actions during the pursuit are ongoing.

The latest version now is that a sysop needs to locate an edit-protected request, immediately action it with a 'correction' issued, self sight the edit, and post a message somewhere asking for another reviewer to note 'yes this was okay' or 'no, this was wrong, here is what needs to be done' (usually another reviewer would need to sight the edit, but with protected pages this does not work, it has to be an admin). The table below is meant to track which articles require revision for removal of copyrighted material. This is somehow evident from [[:Category:Archived by Gryllida]] (which Gryllida made in response to recent increase to vandalism of published articles, and as Leaderboard's script was down for months) and from [[:Category:Protected edit requests]] (though this is all requests, not only those for copyright violations).

The original talk page content has been restored here for continuity. However, the history of this page does not reflect the full, historical development of the proposal, which is preserved at [[User:Brian_McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism]]. Plagiarism is the act of using another person’s work—whether words, structure, or ideas—without proper attribution, and presenting it as your own. ''Wikinews'' considers the following to be plagiarism: * Copying full or partial sentences from a source without quotation or clear attribution. * Minor rewording or synonym-swapping without substantive rewriting, also called "scuffing up." * Stitching together small fragments from one or more sources to form a paragraph without original synthesis or voice. * Failing to cite the source of information or phrasing, even if paraphrased. Rule of thumb: Reproducing three or more consecutive words from a source without quotation marks is typically considered plagiarism unless the phrase is a proper noun or common expression. This is a guideline, not a hard rule. Context matters. Journalistic writing must be original. While it's acceptable to research multiple sources, ''Wikinews'' articles must reflect your own synthesis, structure, and wording.

On Tuesday, the state government has responded by announcing a few measures aimed at softening the impact of its major overhaul of workers' compensation. On Tuesday, the government has introduced an eight-week procedure to access support for psychological issues at workplace, claiming it was faster than the existing procedures. NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey said, "The introduction of a fast-tracked assessment process for bullying and harassment fundamentally resolves the problem that is plaguing the current system, which is that ….this category of claim is taking disproportionately longer than any others," Mr Mookhey said. The Monday rally speakers condemned the Minns government’s -- the {{w|Australian Labor Party|Labor}}-led government in [[New South Wales]] -- proposed amendments, arguing they would make it much harder for injured workers—especially those with psychological injuries—to access compensation and mental health support. The rally members said they were strongly opposing the plan to raise the permanent impairment threshold for psychological injuries from 15% to 31% saying this change would exclude up to 95% of affected workers from receiving compensation for mental health claims. On Tuesday, the government has announced plans to keep the "30% of whole person impairment" target, anyway. At the rally, the spokespersons highlighted that these reforms would shift the financial burden of workplace injuries from the government to individual workers, potentially leaving many without adequate support. One of the spokespeople said about this shift during the rally, with the attendees chanting 'shame' in response. The rally attendees were accusing several politicians of breaking pre-election commitments to protect injured workers, criticizing the government for prioritizing budget savings over worker welfare. Premier {{w|Chris Minns}} has previously given his verbal support instead of signing while Industrial Relations Minister {{w|Sophie Cotsis}} and Treasurer {{w|Daniel Mookhey}} are part of the 80 MPs who have signed the pledge before the last election. Amber Flohm, Deputy President of the NSW Teachers Federation, stated that increasing the injury threshold would effectively eliminate psychological injury claims for most workers, shutting them out of compensation. Nursing assistant Sue Walton warned that if the bill passes, many injured workers would be left without any support or medical assistance through workers’ compensation. The rally attendees had gathered at the location at 7:50am. By then, over ten police officers were present in the area, including indoors in the adjacent 52 Martin Place building. The attendees included members of several unions, including {{W|CFMEU}}. Organized by Unions NSW, the rally was part of a coordinated campaign with rallies also held in Parramatta, Tweed Heads, Wollongong, and other regional centers. == Gallery == {{Multiple image}}<gallery widths="400" heights="300" mode="packed-overlay"> File:20250526 075923 workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|The rally members walking at 07:59 from the meeting point to the speaker's stage. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 080339workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:03. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 080404workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:04. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 080430workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:04. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 080635workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:06. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 080725workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:07. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 081639workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:16. {{image source|Gryllida}} File:20250526 081721workers comp rally Sydney 2606.ogg|One of the speakers, at 08:17.

These efforts are now gaining international attention. On May 21, 2025, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and march 25, 2025, The Harvard University’s Center for International Development (CID) spotlighted the region’s innovations as a global model for disaster resilience and health equity. Local health workers, women’s groups, and state programmes in Tamil Nadu are addressing the silent toll that extreme heat, power outages, and pollution take on new mothers. These initiatives blend modern healthcare integration with traditional coping mechanisms, such as clay pot cooling, indigenous herbal remedies, and digital support networks. “Women’s mental health is not a standalone issue. It sits at the nexus of resilience, climate response, and equitable development,” stated a UNDRR briefing. Reports show Tamil Nadu’s mothers face critical stressors during extreme climate events, ranging from disrupted sleep and diminished breastmilk supply to acute mental distress. According to Dr Saravanan Thangarajan, a global health scholar affiliated with Harvard Medical School, “These aren’t just environmental statistics — they are lived realities.” In his CID blog, he documents interviews with mothers across the region, revealing that 82% report sleep loss, 72% note infant dehydration, and only 8% have access to mental health care. UNDRR and CID analysts argue that integrating psychosocial support into climate adaptation strategies can reinforce public health, gender equity, and community resilience. Tamil Nadu’s innovations are increasingly seen as a scalable model for countries confronting the overlapping crises of climate change and public health disparities. Tamil Nadu’s experience shows that maternal mental health extends beyond healthcare—it is essential for disaster resilience and the recovery of communities. By weaving mental health support into its disaster risk reduction efforts, the state provides a valuable example for other regions confronting climate and disaster-related challenges. {{haveyoursay}} ==Disclosure== Note: Dr. Saravanan Thangarajan, the author of this article, conducted field research cited herein as part of a Harvard-affiliated study between September 2024 and January 2025.

The two parties had previously [[Australian Nationals leave Coalition with Liberal Party|split recently]] following the [[w:2025 Australian Federal Election |2025 federal election]], in which both the Liberals and the Nationals were defeated by their rivals, leading to disagreements between the two parties over policy differences even as {{w|Peter Dutton}}, the leader of the Liberals and the Coalition, lost his seat in the Parliament, necessitating a change in leadership. On the 20th of May, [[w:National Party of Australia |Nationals leader]] [[w:David Littleproud |David Littleproud]] announced that the party was cutting ties with the [[w:Liberal Party of Australia |Liberal party]], insisting that the Nationals cannot give up their policy demands even as {{w|Sussan Ley}}, the new leader of the Liberals, was looking forward to a sweeping and thorough review of the party's policies in the wake of the significant loss in the federal election. At the time of the reunion, the Liberals agreed to four policy demands issued by the Nationals, relating to nuclear power, a Regional Australia Future Fund, remote mobile data coverage, and changes to the supermarket sector. The split has reportedly caused infighting amongst the party, but Littleproud has stated that he would stand by the policies he demanded. The party has also undergone a [[w:shadow cabinet|shadow cabinet]] reshuffle following the reunification. Back together, Liberal leader [[w:Sussan Ley|Sussan Ley]] has stated that she looked forward to the two parties working together in the future. At first, the split of the two parties caused doubts about whether either party would ever gain a majority enough to challenge the [[w:Albanese_government|incumbent Labor government]]. There have been splits in the past, the most recent being in 1987, but neither parties could have formed majority government without the other. It should be noted that in regards to nuclear power plants, the Coalition's policy has changed: it will no longer pursue their previous commitment to building seven of them, but will instead continue to push against the existing national moratorium on nuclear power. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url= https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-28/coalition-gets-back-together-after-week-long-split/105346446 |title= Coalition gets back together after week-long split |author= Jake Evans |pub= ABC |date=May 28, 2025 }} *{{source|url= https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/australias-opposition-coalition-reunites-week-after-split-2025-05-28/ |title= Australia's opposition coalition reunites a week after split |author= Alasdair Pal |pub= Reuters |date=May 28, 2025 }} *{{source|url= https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2748d37k4o |title= Australia's Liberal-National coalition reunite a week after split |author= Lana Lam |pub= BBC |date=May 28, 2025 }} [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] {{Publish}} c1tkw261bfhmtmsix9lsh7jiu0ifw8r 0 3015667 4863275 4863264 2025-06-11T14:10:43Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Remove use of template:Date to remove article from date category.

Him and his business partner, were taken into custody on Friday, were accused of torturing an {{w|Italian}} tourist in {{w|Manhattan}} for their crypto information. The alleged victim said that they were "hung off a ledge," "shocked with electrical wires," and "attacked with a chainsaw" in an attempt to get them to reveal {{w|crypocurrency}} information. The alleged victim's name was not released. Two cryptocurrency investors, John Woeltz (37) and William Duplessie (32/33), have been arrested and charged in Manhattan after allegedly kidnapping and torturing a 28-year-old Italian businessman in a luxury SoHo townhouse for about 17 days. The motive was to force the victim—who knew the suspects through a business relationship—to reveal the password to his Bitcoin account. According to police, the victim was lured to New York by threats against his family, then stripped of his passport and electronics, bound, beaten, shocked with electrical wires, forced to take narcotics, urinated on, pistol-whipped, attacked with a saw, and at one point dangled from a staircase. Blood was found throughout the apartment. The ordeal ended when the victim escaped and alerted authorities. Both Woeltz and Duplessie have pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail, facing charges including kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment, and criminal possession of a weapon. The case has also triggered an NYPD internal investigation after it was revealed that two detectives, who had provided private security for one of the suspects, may have had prior connections to the townhouse where the crime occurred. These detectives have been placed on modified duty, though officials say they were unaware of any illegal activity. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn84x31vw96o |title = Second suspect arrested in alleged crypto torture scheme |author = |pub = BBC News |date = 2 days ago |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnewyork.com/manhattan/nypd-investigation-crypto-torture-detectives/6284057/ |title = NYPD probing whether detectives were inside townhouse during alleged crypto torture |author = |pub = |date = |archiveurl = }} [[:Category:Manhattan]] [[:Category:Italy]] [[:Category:Crime and law]] [[:Category:EventGryllidaTest/2025-05-27]] 6zys6sj0d6o9lis1gkoslti6syppinq 102 3015696 4860773 2025-05-29T11:47:25Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4860773 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3015701 4863925 4863923 2025-06-15T13:11:03Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Remove use of template:Date to remove article from date category.

The developed innovative approach would reportedly help reduce reliance on drugs for cancer treatment. The biobatteries used biological processes to generate electricity locally at the tumour site, and when the battery discharged, it added zinc and manganese ions, increasing the immune response and making the treatment more effective. [[File:Cancerous tumous response to treatments.jpg|thumb|left|Effects of effects of single electrode (Zn electrode and MnO2 electrode), UB, and discharging battery (DB) on tumour growth. {{image source|https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adu1647}}]] For subcutaneous tumour, that is, located between the skin and the muscle underneath it, the application of the device has resulted in the decrease of the tumour volume. On day 1, the tumour size was 50 mm³ to 60 mm³. On day 15, several drug-free treatments were ineffective and tumour volume increased to 1,000 mm³. Meanwhile, with the biobattery approach, the tumour shrank to 4 mm³. The researchers had used daily {{W|X-ray}} {{W|diffractometry}} measurements to characterize the tumour response in the subjects, mice. Two universities, {{W|University of Wollongong}} in [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], and {{W|Jilin University}} in [[China]], had collaborated on the experimental investigation. Three scientific funding bodies from China have supported the study. A recent study published in Science Advances reveals that implantable biobatteries can dramatically reduce tumor size—by up to 99.6% in just two weeks—by harnessing electrochemical reactions to activate the immune system locally, offering a promising drug-free approach to cancer immunotherapy. How It Works The biobattery is made of zinc and manganese electrodes. When implanted at the tumor site, it discharges and releases zinc and manganese ions. These ions alter the tumor microenvironment by: Disrupting cancer cell metabolism, which inhibits tumor growth. Stimulating the immune system, making it easier for T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. Generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that directly kill tumor cells. The battery only activates in the presence of body fluids found in cancerous tissue, minimizing side effects elsewhere in the body. Key Results In lab tests on subcutaneous tumors, the biobattery shrank tumor volume from over 1,000 mm³ to just 4 mm³ within 14 days—a 99.6% reduction. The localized release of metal ions avoids systemic toxicity, reducing side effects compared to conventional therapies. When combined with hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs), the approach achieved up to 98% cancer cell death in vitro. Clinical Implications Targeted therapy: The device is implanted directly at the tumor, ensuring precise delivery of therapeutic ions and ROS. Immunotherapy synergy: The biobattery enhances the body’s own immune response, outperforming some existing immunotherapies in experimental models. Scalability: Researchers are preparing for preclinical and clinical trials to bring this technology closer to patients. This biobattery strategy leverages electrochemistry to reshape the tumor environment, potentially providing a safer, more effective alternative to traditional drug or radiation-based treatments. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.miragenews.com/biobattery-shrinks-tumor-enabling-drug-free-1468496 |title=Biobattery Shrinks Tumor, Enabling Drug-Free Cancer Care |publisher=Mirage News |date=May 29, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.uow.edu.au/media/2025/next-gen-biobattery-shrinks-tumour-paving-way-for-drug-free-cancer-treatments-.php |title=2025: Next-gen biobattery shrinks tumour, paving way for drug-free cancer treatments - University of Wollongong – UOW |publisher=University of Wollongong |date=May 29, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu1647 |title=Tumor microenvironment–activated Zn//MnO2 battery for sustained and local electrochemical immunotherapy |publisher=Science Advances |date=May 28, 2025 }} [[:Category:Health]] [[:Category:China]] [[:Category:Australia]] [[:Category:EventGryllidaTest/2025-05-29]] 3ge9s9q37hp76v67dulaoqvn80h6loo 0 3015786 4863262 4863261 2025-06-11T13:52:15Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Remove use of template:Date to remove article from date category.

This decision lifts a lower court order that had blocked the administration’s efforts, exposing these migrants to possible deportation and raising the number of people at risk to nearly 1 million when combined with a previous ruling affecting about 350,000 Venezuelans. The program, created by the Biden administration, allowed individuals fleeing dangerous conditions to live and work in the U.S. for up to two years. The Trump administration argued that such protections were always intended to be temporary and that the Department of Homeland Security has the authority to end them without court involvement. The Supreme Court’s unsigned order did not provide an explanation. However, Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, warning that the ruling could cause severe harm to hundreds of thousands of people before courts finish reviewing the legality of ending their status. The dissent noted the “devastating consequences” of abruptly upending the lives of so many migrants while their legal challenges remain unresolved. As a result, migrants who benefited from the humanitarian parole program can now be targeted for deportation while lawsuits continue in lower courts. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/trump-supreme-court-immigration-deportation-8bc46820c6444fbb3540c09764e32905 |title = Supreme Court lets Trump strip legal protections from 500,000 people, exposing more to deportation |author = |pub = |date = |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-lets-trump-end-program-500k-cubans-nicaraguans-haitians-venezuelans/ |title = Supreme Court lets Trump end program protecting Haitians, Venezuelans, others |author = |pub = |date = |archiveurl = }} [[:Category:EventGryllidaTest/2025-05-30]] kivx5rngyql9fttpklkszm6at5k81j7 102 3015790 4861093 2025-05-30T19:10:48Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4861093 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3015794 4862408 4862407 2025-06-05T16:32:09Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Publish.

It's been a significant-enough issue that we have chosen to allow Global Sysops to lend a hand (thank you all!). Our archival process is also historically loathed by many admin. We currently have a very long list of un-archived, published articles in the Latest news section of our main page. I would therefore like to propose a change to our archival process. '''Proposal''': We change our archival process so that reviewers can help admin in the archival process. '''Idea''': After our post-publication, 24-hour grace period, articles could be protected by a bot to allow only reviewers and admin to edit them. We create a template such as {{tl|Archive-ready}}, which would allow for a scheduled bot-sweep to archive articles every 24 hours. Once an article has been re-reviewed per the current [[WN:Archive]] conventions to include the Pre-protection process, {{tl|Archive-ready}} can be placed on it. In addition, we have a bot that runs every 24 hours looking for articles containing {{tl|Archive-ready}}. When it finds it, it does the final archival step of protecting it to admin-only, removes {{tl|Archive-ready}}, and adds {{tl|Archived}}. I think we could devise some sort of "meta data" or "front matter" template that allows us to track and manage article stages, original authors, bylines, and more, but very specifically exact publication times for ArchiveBot to parse. That template could have no output to the page, but its parameters can store the meta data. Alternative, maybe we could start including a subpage to every article that contains XML data. I don't know which is cleaner or more elegant.

Given our ongoing shortage of reviewer time, this is inefficient and can result in missed edits, occasionally leading to avoidable corrections. Edits that may be controversial can reasonably remain unsighted, but routine, uncontroversial changes made within 24 hours should be self-sighted. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 20:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC) :I don't agree with allowing to self sight minor changes.

Requiring so many reviewer actions before archival will likely increase the amount of archival work required per article. There are currently 91 pending changes that need to be sighted or rejected. Many, possibly most require an admin due to post-publication protection. Making it common practice for more reviewers to self-sight minor corrections would certainly help reduce the admin work (that isn't being done on a regular basis already). —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 21:19, 31 March 2025 (UTC) :On the other side, self sighting changes to categories would be fine, I think.

I’m suggesting that reviewers should more consistently self-sight additional reviewer actions on a published page—provided those actions wouldn’t otherwise disqualify them as a reviewer, and are made within 24 hours of publication. For example, if Reviewer A misses something during review, Reviewer B should be able to correct it and self-sight the change. ::These are actions we already trust reviewers to take independently during a full review. This does not include adding sources, significantly expanding the article, or making any other edits that would compromise reviewer eligibility. ::While some reviewers already do this in practice, inconsistency—especially during periods of limited reviewer activity—can lead to a buildup of unsighted changes. These often become convoluted and difficult to reconcile. ::This isn’t to suggest that reviewers are infallible—only that we should adopt a consistent and practical approach to handling post-publication corrections. I’ve also seen cases where a reviewer inserted incorrect information into an article I wrote, which later had to be corrected and sighted—so mistakes can happen on either side. That said, this isn’t a hill I’m prepared to die on; I simply think it’s worth considering for the sake of clarity and workflow. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 16:29, 15 April 2025 (UTC) :::Okie-dokie.

Targets of the {{w|Ukrainian}} drone strikes reportedly included the {{w|Olenya airbase}} near {{w|Murmansk}}, and the {{w|Belaya air base}} near {{w|Irkutsk}}. The {{w|Russian Ministry of Defense}} stated on {{w|Telegram}} that "a terrorist attack using FPV drones against airfields in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions" had been carried out, adding that "the fires have been extinguished. There are no casualties among military personnel or civilian personnel." According to the Russian defense ministry, the attacks at the Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur locations were repelled. SBU head {{w|Vasyl Malyuk}} said "According to the laws and customs of war, we have worked out absolutely legitimate targets – military airfields and aircraft that bomb our peaceful cities". The attack targeted A-50 surveillance aircraft, strategic bombers including the Tu-22M3, Tu-95 and Tu-160, according to the ''BBC''. The SBU estimated that over a third of Russian Federation's strategic missile carriers have been hit, amounting to around $7 billion in damages. While the expenditures for the operation on the Ukrainian side have not been publicly quantified, it involved 117 quadcopter drones -- a figure alleged by President of Ukraine {{W|Volodymyr Zelensky}} -- carrying relatively heavy loads, as well as relevant equipment, with each of the FPV drones controlled remotely by its own pilot, and all participants evacuated from the Russian Federation before start of the operation - the Russian drivers of the lorries were unaware of the contents and purpose of their luggage. A source speaking with CNN and briefed on the operation confirmed that the attack was carried out with usage of the Russian telecommunications networks — a small device such as a mobile phone needed to work as the communication hub, connecting the drones and related mechanisms to the remote operators. The drones were hidden inside 'insulation' of the roofs of the "mobile houses", which then were placed onto trucks. The governor of Irkutsk said that a truck coming from the backend, the drones were deployed into the area. Warplanes in Russia were also on fire at Dyagilevo and Ivanovo airfields, in central Ryazan and Ivanovo areas. A source from the SBU told ABC News that this operation had been planned for "more than a year and a half". According to a Trump administration official in the [[United States]], they were not given a heads-up about the operation. {{haveyoursay}} ==Sister links== {{Sisters|Wikipedia|Operation Spider's Web}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/01/europe/ukraine-drones-russia-airbases-intl |title=Ukraine hits air bases thousands of miles inside Russia in audacious military operation |author=Svitlana Vlasova, Victoria Butenko, Tim Lister, Mitchell McCluskey and Helen Regan |pub=CNN |date=June 2, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq69qnvj6nlo |title=How Ukraine carried out daring 'Spider Web' attack on Russian bombers |author=Laura Gozzi |pub=BBC |date=June 2, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/International/russian-railway-bridges-collapse-2-regions-bordering-ukraine/story?id=122391100 |title = Ukraine targets 4 Russian airfields in major drone attack, source says |author = David Brennan, Victoria Beaule, Natalia Popova and Oleksiy Pshemyskyi |pub = ABC News |date = June 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1ld7ppre9vo |title = Ukraine says more than 40 Russian warplanes hit in massive drone strikes |author = Paul Adams, Jaroslav Lukiv |pub = BBC |date = June 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Russia]] [[Category:Ukraine]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] {{Publish}} 6ubeihytbvy30c0s3yp9bsc0gwz3iaq 0 3015909 4861465 2025-06-01T16:51:53Z GreekApple123 2892521 GreekApple123 moved page [[Prime Minister Modi celebrates 50th anniversary of Sikkim's statehood, commemorates Northeast India's sporting potential]] to [[Prime Minister Modi celebrates 50th anniversary of Sikkim's statehood, encourages development in Northeast India]]: Change of focus 4861465 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Prime Minister Modi celebrates 50th anniversary of Sikkim's statehood, encourages development in Northeast India]] nkee1jy1r4q3pwlhibtrqip5wf7r1s6 0 3015911 4861901 4861893 2025-06-03T11:14:37Z Gryllida 160590 /* Sources */ fmt minor 4861901 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|June 3, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Template:Biology}} [[File:Gymnobelideus_leadbeateri_106374808.jpg|thumb|left|Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) in Victoria, Australia {{image source|iNaturalist, Konan Farrelly-Horsfall}}]] Last week, the {{w|NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water}} (DCCEEW) research team - more specifically, Martin Shultz and Fred Ford - have discovered seven photographs of the {{w|Leadbeater's possum}} near {{w|Yarrangobilly Caves}}, amidst the footage taken in October in {{w|Kosciuszko National Park}}, {{w|NSW}}, {{w|Australia}}, as they were going through nearly 1 million photos from trail cameras set up to conduct a survey of the {{w|smoky mouse}}. While both species are {{w|critically endangered}} in Australia, Leadbeater's possum was previously thought to be {{w|extinct}} in NSW, with the only known current populations being observed in {{w|Victoria}}, where the species is the mammal emblem of the state since 1971. The NSW Government has started the application for an expedited conservation listing of the Leadbeater's possum with the {{w|NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee}}. The finding has been confirmed by the {{w|Healesville Sanctuary}} and the {{w|Australian National University}} (ANU). Biodiversity Council member Professor {{w|David Lindenmayer}} from ANU has previously, 35 years ago, while pursuing a {{w|PhD}}, spent a few months around {{w|Yarrangobilly}} looking for the signs of presence of the Leadbeater's possum, due to the prediction of a climate model that the species may be found at that location, but "never saw one in the park". In his own words, "With so little high-quality {{w|habitat}} left in Australia, we should do our utmost to protect remaining areas; hopefully, there will be many more wonderful discoveries ahead, especially as detection techniques improve." He further indicated that large parks like the "iconic" Kosciuszko National Park and the other major reserves in Australia should be provided for as necessary, as they are critical for biodiversity conservation. {{Template: Australia}} Dr Dan Harley, a Senior Ecologist at Healesville Sanctuary, noted that the NSW discovery, despite its unexpectedness, "in no way" changes the species' Critically Endangered status for the moment. Nevertheless, it has become a promising development for the future of the species that has been very close to extinction, as he noted past developments relating to the rediscovery of the species in 1961 and the discovery of its lowland and subalpine populations in 1986 and the 1990s respectively, which give rise to hope that the recent {{w|Black Summer bushfires}} might not have entirely destroyed the possibility of a remnant population of the species remaining in Victoria's northeast. Further, he said: "The discovery of the species further north in NSW was completely unexpected, and is a remarkable turn of events. Within Victoria there is strong genetic differentiation between highland and lowland Leadbeater’s possums over a small distance. On this basis, and given the large distance between the Victorian populations in the Central Highlands and the NSW discovery site, it is highly probable that the NSW population is genetically distinct from populations in Victoria. Once the genetic results are in, I expect that we will have Northern Leadbeater’s possums in NSW and Southern Leadbeater’s possums in Victoria, each with distinctive management requirements." Adult Leadbeater's possum, also known as {{w|fairy}} possum due to difficulty of observing one in the wild, is approximately 40cm long and 125g in weight. There are two varieties of them found in Victoria, as described above, and there are less than 40 lowland Leadbeater's possums left. Healesville Sanctuary has established a captive breeding program with another variety of the Leadbeater's possums, the highland ones, successfully raising Narvi, a female highland possum who has been released at the predator-free {{w|Coranderrk}} Bushland Nature together with a lowland possum, Mercury, with the goal of establishing a new colony. Healesville field officer Arabella Eyre stated that cross-population breeding would hopefully improve {{w|genetic diversity}} in the wild populations: "The lowland population is so small, there are fewer than 40 individuals left in the wild," she said. "That's nine breeding pairs, and that can only hold on for so long. Without being able to bring in genetic diversity, we expect that they will be extinct within the next 15 years." Which is why this first attempt for the sanctuary to match a mixed pairing is so important. Healesville Sanctuary's threatened species keeper Amie Hindson explained that there was immediate rapport between them from night one, expressing that "They're a really special love story for us." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-01/endangered-leadbeaters-possum-found-in-kosciuszko-national-park/105363668 |title = Endangered Leadbeater's possum found in Kosciuszko National Park |author = Alasdair McDonald |pub = ABC |date = June 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://lismoreapp.com.au/NewsStory/hello-possum-species-thought-extinct-in-nsw-found-in-kosciuszko-national-park/683c1a8ba5ce6a01f84882ed |title = Hello Possum!

Village Blatten was destroyed, after people evacuated. * '''When''': The collapse occurred on May 28, 2025, though there were ongoing warnings in the days before due to unusual movements of the glacier. * '''Where''': {{W|Blatten (Lötschen)}}, {{W|Valais}}, [[Switzerland]] * '''Why''': Warmer temperatures have resulted in the glacier becoming unstable. * '''Who''': The collapse impacted local residents -- 300 people had lived in the village before. The Swiss and Italian authorities were involved in monitoring the glacier and issuing evacuation orders for areas at risk. * '''How''': There was increased melting and destabilization of the glacier. The structure weakened, leading to the collapse of a massive ice chunk. The glacier had already been monitored for some time due to increased risks. At International Conference on Glaciers’ Preservation in Dushanbe 2025, held in [[Tajikistan]] on May 29-June 1, Ali Neumann, disaster risk reduction advisor to the Swiss Development Cooperation, noted the preparedness that helped to minimize the impact. He said, "It [...] showed that with the right skills and observation and management of an emergency, you can significantly reduce the magnitude of this type of disaster" 2024 UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction report allegedly said that two thirds of Asian and Pacific countries were at risk and were unprepared, as they did not have sufficient monitoring facilities for the local glaciers. ==

This marked the end of an 18-year wait for the franchise, which had previously lost three finals. RCB, captained by Faf du Plessis, were sent in to bat after Punjab Kings won the toss. The Bengaluru side posted a total of 190 for 9 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli scored 43 runs off 35 balls, while Rajat Patidar contributed 39. The Punjab bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh and Rahul Chahar, managed to slow the run rate during the middle overs, with both bowlers taking two wickets each. In response, Punjab Kings finished on 184 for 7, falling short by six runs. Despite a late surge by Shashank Singh, who scored an unbeaten 61 off 30 balls, the team could not close the gap. RCB's bowling attack was led by Krunal Pandya, who claimed 2 wickets for 17 runs and was named Player of the Match. The victory was a significant milestone for RCB, with long-time player Virat Kohli finally lifting the IPL trophy after 267 matches in the tournament. The team’s win sparked celebrations among fans, particularly in Bengaluru, where a public victory parade is scheduled for June 5. RCB's win made them the seventh franchise to win the IPL. The 2025 season featured ten teams and concluded with the final attended by over 100,000 spectators. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == * {{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/sports/cricket/kohlis-bengaluru-beat-punjab-win-maiden-ipl-title-2025-06-03/ |title = Kohli's Bengaluru win maiden IPL title to shed underachievers tag |author = |pub = Reuters |date = June 3, 2025 }} * {{source |url = https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ipl-2025-1449924/punjab-kings-vs-royal-challengers-bengaluru-final-1473511/full-scorecard |title = PBKS vs RCB Cricket Scorecard, Final at Ahmedabad, June 03, 2025 |author = |pub = ESPNcricinfo |date = June 3, 2025 }} * {{source |url = https://indiatimes.com/sports/ipl-2025-virat-kohli-in-tears-as-rcb-lift-maiden-title-after-18-years-the-dream-moment-for-the-goat-say-fans-660256.html |title = IPL 2025: Virat Kohli in tears as RCB lift maiden title after 18 years |author = |pub = India Times |date = June 3, 2025 }} * {{source |url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/watch-virat-kohli-rajat-patidar-show-off-their-moves-as-rcb-celebrate-historic-ipl-title-win/articleshow/121609755.cms |title = Watch: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar show off their moves as RCB celebrate historic IPL title win |author = |pub = Times of India |date = June 3, 2025 }} * {{source |url = https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/ipl-2025-final-rcb-vs-pbks-live-score-royal-challengers-bengaluru-vs-punjab-kings-match-updates-today-june-3-ahmedabad-101748943715043.html |title = RCB vs PBKS Highlights, IPL 2025 Final: Virat Kohli in tears as Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinch maiden title |author = |pub = Hindustan Times |date = June 3, 2025 }} [[Category:Cricket]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:India]] [[Category:Ahmedabad]] [[Category:Royal Challengers Bengaluru]] [[Category:Punjab Kings]] [[Category:2025]] sq2lyzhggnilkyz20isqq56s5eefu06 0 3016239 4863489 4863487 2025-06-12T20:02:16Z Gryllida 160590 W 4863489 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Computing}} {{date|June 12, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Nintendo Switch 2 release in NYC 125.jpg|thumb|left|Nintendo of America CEO Doug Bowser and Mario mascots count down to midnight {{Image source|[[commons:User:SWinxy|Wikimedia Commons/SWinxy]]}}]] On June 4, {{w|Nintendo}} fans gathered at the {{w|Nintendo New York}} store in [[New York City]], [[United States]] to celebrate the launch of ''{{W|Mario Kart World}}'' and the {{W|Nintendo Switch 2}} console, the successor to the {{W|Nintendo Switch}} that came out in 2017. A volunteer reporter from ''Wikinews'', [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]], attended the event. In the afternoon, players were given a demo of ''Mario Kart World'', which was about to be released at midnight. ''World'' is the first new original ''{{W|Mario Kart}}'' game since ''{{W|Mario Kart 8}}'' released more than a decade ago on the {{W|Wii U}} (and re-released on the Nintendo Switch in 2017 as ''{{W|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe}}'', and have added expansion packs to it). "[I've] been playing the same ''Mario Kart'' with my friends for a decade, so [I'm] excited to have something new and try and convince them to buy a $400 game system," said an attendee named Blake. [[File:Nintendo Switch 2 release in NYC 59.jpg|thumb|left|Nintendo fans demo ''Mario Kart World'''s Knockout mode {{Image source|[[commons:User:SWinxy|Wikimedia Commons/SWinxy]]}}]] Under a pair of tents in {{W|Rockefeller Center}}, the company set up 24 stations where players could play the new game mode, Knockout Tour, where a series of interconnected segments are played to eliminate the worst-performing players. Though the game supports 24 players in the same match, the setup split people into two groups of 12. ("I would be pretty surprised if it wasn't [all] connected," Blake said before people were let in.) A couple, Jasmine and Valery, were at the front of the line. They arrived around 11 AM, and waited more than four hours to experience the game. Nintendo didn't allow people to line up until noon, at which point fewer than a dozen people had arrived, according to Jasmine. Though Jasmine didn't initially care for buying ''World'', after the demo she excitedly said "I might change my mind now. I might want ''Mario Kart [World]''" and get a Switch 2. Fans were excited to play, and people enjoyed it. Some recorded their play sessions, took selfies, or vlogged. Many people wore Nintendo-branded shirts for the occasion. Some dressed up as characters from the {{W|Mario (franchise)|Mario franchise}}. A few wore YouTuber merch, such as the Nintendo YouTuber {{W|Etika}} who died in 2019. "It was really fun," and "so fast," said Alvaro, an attendee who traveled from Mexico. "It feels really polished, it feels really good," he added. "No matter what it is, I feel like there's going to be excitement for it," said Matt, another attendee, who came with his girlfriend but didn't end up playing. "I had so much fun just watching the chaotic gameplay unfold" despite being eliminated quickly, said a player with a group of friends. "I think that they've really outdone themselves with this Mario Kart formula in a way that everyone can have fun regardless of if they're winning or losing." Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, people were lined up for the midnight release of the new console. Christopher Evangelista, known as ChickenDog, had staked his position out for two entire months, uploading daily vlogs to his YouTube channel. By the time the line for the ''World'' demo petered out, just before 5 PM, Nintendo staff ushered people across the street—keeping the same line order. By 11:30 PM, the line resembled the one earlier in the afternoon, with many people going to both demo the ''Mario Kart'' game and who were picking up their Switch 2. A few minutes before midnight, mascots for Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi came out with Nintendo of America CEO {{W|Doug Bowser}}, who thanked the crowd for coming and waiting for so long. [[File:Nintendo Switch 2 release in NYC 217.jpg|thumb|left|Christopher Evangelista (known as ChickenDog) holds up his Switch 2. {{Image source|[[commons:User:SWinxy|Wikimedia Commons/SWinxy]]}}]] ChickenDog was the first to buy the Switch 2 at the New York store. At first, at the start of April, it was just him waiting. But within a week a few more people started appearing, taking shifts during daytime hours. "Come Memorial Day, more people aggregated, like 15–20 individuals showed up, so that's when we doubled down in our shifts," said Rinaldi Gomez, one of the very first people in line. "Some of us stayed overnight and we took turns." "It was a group work," Gomez added. The second to buy, Alex, had been only out for around 20 days. "Me and ChickenDog, who's in first, have been planning to do this for two years since we met at the ''{{W|Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom}}'' launch." Alex added, not negatively, that when he came to line up, "I started pulling night shifts while he did all of the fun stuff." Those who came to line up had acquired a "Warp Pipe Pass" from a lottery system Nintendo had introduced for these launches. Evangelista, Alex, Gomez, and everyone else in line were those lucky enough to be chosen to get it at the launch event. [[File:Nintendo Switch 2 release in NYC 174.jpg|thumb|left|Scott Wozniak, creator of the YouTube series ''Scott The Woz'' takes a selfie with a fan and a signed copy of ''Gex 3'', a long-running joke in the series {{Image source|[[commons:User:SWinxy|Wikimedia Commons/SWinxy]]}}]] Nintendo invited celebrities, including YouTuber {{W|Scott Wozniak}} and comedian {{W|Bowen Yang}}. Yang left briskly, but Wozniak stayed and chatted with fans. A long-running joke in Wozniak's series, ''{{W|Scott the Woz}}'' is the video game series {{W|Gex (series)|Gex}}. A fan brought a physical copy of ''{{W|Gex 3}}'' that Wozniak signed. (Wozniak, who is from Ohio, reported being very tired.) By the time this reporter left, a little after 1AM, more than 100 people were still in line for the Switch 2. The wave of people after this, drawn from the Warp Pipe Pass, were to get their consoles when the store reopened in the morning. {{clear}} {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{Original}} <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-04/nintendo-switch-2-release-day-time-price-and-consumer-reaction |title = Nintendo's Switch 2 Lures Fans to Biggest Gadget Launch in Years |author = Yuki Furukawa, Cecilia D'Anastasio, and Takashi Mochizuki |pub = Bloomberg News |date = June 4, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.polygon.com/news/600439/mario-kart-world-development-nintendo-switch-2 |title = Mario Kart World has been in development for 8 years as Nintendo struggled to improve a 'perfect' formula |author = Patricia Hernandez |pub = Polygon |date = May 21, 2025 |archiveurl = }} == External links == * [https://www.youtube.com/@ChickenDog ChickenDog's YouTube channel] (youtube.com) [[Category:New York, New York]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Video games]] {{Publish}} 4c84oloqgtkt973gf6rmbtifrf9d55k 0 3016251 4865117 4863931 2025-06-19T22:08:51Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Mark as abandoned. 4865117 wikitext text/x-wiki {{abandoned|June 19, 2025|}} {{tasks|news|re-review}}[[File:Flag of Iraq.svg|thumb|Flag of Iraq since 1963 although was modified in 2008 (the current version) The writing is Arabic for "Allah is the Greatest."]] {{date|June 4, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Iraq}} On Wednesday, {{w|Iraq}} is looking for a new strategy to help poverty from a six sector agenda.

The government’s way involves mitigating the efforts of climate change, and others, said Al-Hindawi.

Atuhaire and Mwangi had initially travelled to Tanzania to appear before the first court appearance of arrested opposition leader {{w|1=Tundu Lissu}} on May 19. That same day, police officers abducted the two activists from their hotel rooms in Dar es Salaam and took them to immigration offices while blindfolded. After interrogations and threats, they were transferred to the Central Police Station and then to an unidentified facility, where the abuses occurred. Mwangi was later left abandoned on May 22 near the border between Tanzania and Kenya, while Atuhaire was dumped near the Ugandan border the day after. In the press conference this Monday, Mwangi told {{w|1=BBC}} and ''The Eastleigh Voice'' about his experiences, including being tied upside down, beaten on his feet and having his intimate parts exposed. He cried as he gave accounts of the abuses in graphic details: "[they] put lubricant in my {{w|1=rectum}} and started inserting objects in my backside." He further added that the authorities forced him to say ''asante'' (the {{w|1=Swahili language |2=Swahili-language}} word for "thank you") to the President {{w|1=Samia Suluhu Hassan}} while he was being assaulted, and that they threatened to leak their video footage if he spoke up about the abuses: "They interrogated me about my family, email, passwords, everything." He claimed to have suffered wounds and fractures all over his body. Dar es Salaam police chief Jumanne Muliro expressed scepticism about Mwangi's allegations, dismissing them as "hearsay" and "opinions" from activists. When inquired by {{w|1=Reuters}} about the allegations on June 2, Tanzania's foreign affairs ministry and police didn't give an immediate response. Atuhaire had made similar similar allegations late May, telling BBC that authorities beat and sexually assaulted her and violently stripped her naked, at one point even covering her mouth to keep her from screaming. Mwangi had said any attempts by the two to contact each other in the location were met with insults and kicks from the torturers. At the press conference, Atuhaire said she previously never imagined there would be a worse government than her own "very dictatorial" country, further adding that she filed a criminal complaint against the authorities involved in the abuses. Local and international rights groups reacted to the activists' mistreatment with concern. The Kenyan branch of {{w|1=Amnesty International}} published a statement on Tuesday condemning the abuses and called for those responsible to be held accountable. The {{w|1=Bureau of African Affairs}} from the US Department of State highlighted that Atuhaire had received the {{w|1=International Women of Courage Award}} in 2024. On the day of Mwangi's and Atuhaire's arrests, Hassan accused foreign activists of interfering in Tanzania's internal affairs and "creating chaos": "If they have been contained in their country, let them not come here to meddle. Let's not give them a chance." Hassan later said in June she is committed to respecting human rights. Tundu Lissu, from the opposition {{w|1=Chadema}} party, demands drastic changes on political reforms, calling the {{w|1=2025 Tanzanian presidential election |2=upcoming presidential election}} in October neither free nor fair. He had been initially arrested on April 9 for what prosecutors claimed were attempts to "block the polls" and then charged with treason and posting "false information online" which could potentially result in capital punishment; he denied both charges, and his supporters called the allegations politicised. His party was banned from participating in the election a couple of days later for refusing to sign a code of conduct offered by the Independent National Elections Commission. At his court appearance on May 19, hundreds of supporters chanted his campaign slogan "No reforms, no election" as he defiantly clenched his first. "We will be fine. - Don’t worry at all," Lissu had addressed them. Lissu's lawyers complained about the heavy presence of police officers around the court, which the magistrate recognised by saying they would have a consultation on its appropriateness. His legal case was adjourned to June 2. President Hassan came to power in Tanzania in 2021 after the death of {{w|1=John Magufuli}}, whose government was accused of repressing dissent and mishandling the {{w|1=COVID-19 |2=COVID-19 pandemic}}. She initially received praise for granting greater political freedoms to citizens, but human rights groups have increasingly criticised her government for a number of unexplained arrests and political abductions ahead of the October election. Shortly before Lissu's hearing, she ordered the deportation of former {{w|1=Minister of Justice (Kenya) |2=Minister of Justice}} {{w|1=Martha Karua}} and retired {{w|1=Chief Justice of Kenya |2=Chief Justice}} {{w|1=Willy Mutunga}} to prevent them from attending it. == Sources == *{{Source |url =

We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them. As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]]. After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki. The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org. If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

I will tell you a few key concepts about writing a news report here. The first step is to find a news event. This can be either a past or a future event. It needs to be not fake and not advertising. There are several methods to do it: * Read on a public news site such as BBC. * Hear on TV or YouTube. * Read in a local paper newspaper. * See it with your own eyes or hear from a friend. An event is current, like from today or yesterday or so. Not more than five days ago. [[Wikinews:Education-Gryllida/DateExampleQuiz|Next]] hqk5neskf3ggy379qt43skue4wk2gpy 4 3016291 4862356 2025-06-05T12:45:59Z Gryllida 160590 c 4862356 wikitext text/x-wiki <quiz display=simple> {Which of those are valid, and current, events? Choose multiple answers. |type="[]"} - BBC article about a prisoner exchange is dated June 4, 2025. || Find out when it happened. If they wrote of it today, it does not mean the event was today too. + Foxnews reports that a famous tennis player won a match yesterday. || This is a valid event from yesterday. - ChatGPT tells you that a glacier fell on a village in New Zealand. || ChatGPT often makes things up, including dates and locations. You need to verify the event information somewhere else. + You walked past a protest or a rally on your way to work. || This is a valid event. Write down the date, time, and location. Try to note who participated, what they are arguing for. You may want to ask the protesters to give you an informative poster, and for an official "position" of whoever they are protesting against. If you can, get a copy or a link to the official position of the other party. See [[WN:OR|original reporting]] and [[WN:NPOV|neutrality]]. + A poster says that a movie festival will be in the city tomorrow. || This is a valid event. Write down the date, time, and location. You can start preparing the news report today, before the event started. It is advisable to attend the event in a group of two, one person with a notepad and another person with a camera. See [[WN:OR|original reporting]]. - Reuters publishes an article, dated today, about modern food recipes. || You need to check the date of the event before posting it on Wikinews. Some of such reports are actually fillers to kill time and make the site look more interesting. Check carefully whether an event took place. - ScienceDaily says about a new discovered medicine. || You need to check the date of the event before posting it on Wikinews. Some of such reports are actually released more than a week after the discovery is published in a scientific paper. Then the '''publishing date''' is the event date. Check carefully. - Someone publishes a new video on YouTube. || Find out what happened. Just one file upload of a video clip may not be newsworthy. See [[WN:CG|content guide]]. </quiz> [[Wikinews:Education-Gryllida|Previous]] [[Wikinews:Education-Gryllida/TwoSources|Next]] isd6jfpgqvbph331b26inj3yy6gelnm 4 3016292 4862358 4862357 2025-06-05T12:58:29Z Gryllida 160590 fmt 4862358 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews user essay}} After you found an event, you need to find at least two independent sources. This helps to verify that someone did not make a mistake, or write fake news. You may use two online sources, or a combination with a TV report, audio, your notes, or newsletters. It is important that the sources are not identical content. Sometimes the same content is posted on multiple sites. The second source should have some unique information, which the first source does not have. Authors of the sources should be different. "John's post on Twitter" and "John's post on Facebook" are not independent sources, because they are written by the same person. It is best if the sources include positions of different sides of a debate or a conflict. * For an article about a war, it may be helpful to find one source from news report by a journalist from Foo country and another source from news report by a journalist from Bar country. * If authorities arrested a journalist seemingly unfairly, then: one source from police and one source from a journalism association. This also helps with neutrality. If you cannot find this, just find two sources from different authors. Ensure they did not write entirely the same thing, and are actually different.

Note that I disagree with this change. I think that the previous revision was equally as bad as having a quote from someone (say, "A suicide bomber blew himself up as the car was next to a passenger bus passing through the market," from [[Bomb explosion in Pakistani market kills 49]]). I don't know how Wikipedia handles those, but as far as I know, in Wikinews quotes are allowed. If this is incorrect regarding the quote above somehow, please let me know. (if it is an issue, then the {{tl|quote box}} and similar templates need to be deleted. It did seem to me that they were consciously added with existing consensus for that using quotes as part of news articles is allowed and licence incompatibility is not an issue for some fancy reason.) Additionally this is only two words. I think the classic limit is three words. Nitpicking on two words which are already enclosed in quotation marks and already attributed does not appear to be required to me. While article is already 'on the safer side' now, I think it would be good to have consensus about how and in what conditions quotes are allowed, and what is 'over quoted' and what is permitted. I ask to keep the other copyright violations from the backlog out of this discussion. They may or may not be more substantial. I ask to not bring that up here (seriously). The only concerning issue to me is how to write (and review) quotes in the future. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter.

The [[Special:Diff/4857202|last revision]] is an improvement, but an even better phrasing would probably be something like "According to the UN, Iraq is among the five nations most likely to be critically affected by climate change." :Short quotes are not copyright violations as per [[WN:SG#Quotes]], but I think they should be summarized whenever possible. [[User:Dsuke1998AEOS|Dsuke1998]][[Special:Contributions/Dsuke1998AEOS|AEOS]] ('''[[User talk:Dsuke1998AEOS|talk]]''') 13:33, 24 May 2025 (UTC) ::Thank you for raising this discussion, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]. ::To clarify, properly attributed quotes are indeed not considered plagiarism. However, in this case, the issue was not limited to just the two words in quotes. The phrase in question, "...as one of the five countries "most vulnerable" to climate change...", was lifted verbatim from the BBC source without clear attribution. ::By using Earwig to evaluate Revision ID 4857202—[https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikinews&oldid=4857202&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1 (permalink, valid for 72 hours)]—it’s evident that at least nine words (excluding the two words in quotes) were taken directly from the BBC article. This indicates the phrase’s originality and length go beyond a typical brief quote and constitute a significant reuse of source material without sufficient attribution or rewriting. When published, the article contained over 30 words worth of identical phrases. Over ''ten times'' our stated limit. ::As proposed in [[WN:Plagiarism]], the threshold of three consecutive words is the rule of thumb and the norm generally practiced here. This standard was discussed during the original proposed guideline at [[User talk:Brian McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism#Define plagiarism]], is outlined in [[Wikinews:Tips on reviewing articles]], and most importantly is mentioned by our [[WN:Pillars]]. The threshold is ''well'' established. ::Thus, the proposed change wasn’t merely nitpicking but rather a necessary correction to ensure the content aligns with both our licensing requirements and well-established and long-practiced journalistic standards. While the current revision may now be on “the safer side,” it’s crucial to emphasize that we aim to avoid such close similarities altogether, especially when it comes to extensive verbatim copying. ::Rather than a broader conversation on thresholds for quoting, what’s really needed is a clear, collective, and cohesive understanding of what Wikinews considers [[WN:plagiarism]] and how to avoid it in the first place. This understanding will guide us in both writing and reviewing articles effectively and responsibly. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 13:39, 24 May 2025 (UTC) :::thanks i guess quoting whole 9 words and attributing to bbc would have worked too then?

[[w:Chief Adviser's Press Secretary|Press Secretary]] [[w:Shafiqul Alam|Shafiqul Alam]] had told reporters on Thursday that the main subject of the visit was the recovery of about [[w:Pound sterling|£]]174bn ([[United States dollar|US$]]234 billion) in national assets, which Bangladesh authorities claim were "siphoned off" to other countries during [[Sheikh Hasina|Sheikh Hasina's]] [[w:Premiership of Sheikh Hasina|former premiership]]. On Thursday at {{w|St James's Palace}}, Professor Yunus received the King Charles III Harmony Award 2025, sponsored by {{w|The King's Foundation}}, in recognition of his work promoting "peace, sustainability and harmony between people and the environment." Earlier during his visit, he was received by [[King Charles III]] for a private audience at {{w|Buckingham Palace}}. Yunus offered to meet with UK Prime Minister [[Keir Starmer]] during his visit, but no meeting was scheduled. According to the ''BBC'', Yunus said he had not received an explanation, and suggested Starmer may have been busy. According to ''{{w|The Business Standard}}'', political and diplomatic commentators including former ambassador M Humayun Kabir and analyst Altaf Parvez criticised the handling and communication of the proposed meeting, which had been announced by diplomat Siddique on June 4. {{w|Bangladesh Enterprise Institute}} president {{w|M. Humayun Kabir}} pointed out that the announcement led to high expectations, and that the failure to secure the meeting may have contributed to a negative public perception. Yunus gave a speech at the {{w|Chatham House}} in front of director {{w|Bronwen Maddox}} on Wednesday, during which he discussed the issues his {{w|Interim government of Muhammad Yunus|interim government}} needed to tackle, his anti-corruption efforts and foreign policy, and also addressed the plight of {{w|Rohingya people}}, many of whom lived in the world's largest camp for refugees in {{w|Cox's Bazar}}: "We are working very hard to make sure that we can repatriate those people to go back. In the meantime, we have problems. The US government stopped all the money, the {{w|United States Agency for International Development|USAID}} money suddenly disappeared. And what used to be $12 a month per person for food, suddenly that $12 disappeared." The Chief Adviser declined a meeting with [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] MP {{w|Tulip Siddiq}}, Sheikh Hasina's niece, who, according to the ''BBC'', has been under investigation by the government's {{w|Anti-Corruption Commission (Bangladesh)|Anti-Corruption Commission}} for allegedly illegally receiving land from her aunt's former administration. He said during a ''BBC'' interview that those allegations were a "court matter" but expressed full confidence in the commission. Siddiq, who resigned from her {{w|Economic Secretary to the Treasury|Treasury}} position in January, said she was disappointed with Yunus's decision and denied all the allegations. On the last day of the trip, Friday, a visiting delegation including the Head of the South Asia Regional Department Lesley Craig and Commodore Whalley briefed Professor Yunus on the capabilities of HMS ''Enterprise'', a naval survey vessel with oceanographic and hydrographic purposes, which is being procured for the Bangladesh Navy. Yunus re-affirmed the importance of a joint effort between both nations on using such a vessel for research and data collection, saying it would benefit Bangladesh by leading to a better understanding of its own resources and oceans. When asked by {{w|Bangladesh Nationalist Party}} (BNP) chairman {{w|Tarique Rahman}} about the prospects of a {{w|2026 Bangladeshi general election|national election in 2026}} before [[Ramadan]], Yunus said it would be held in February as long as there was adequate progress in political and judicial reforms, after suggesting in the previous week that the election could take place in April 2026. An {{w|Emirates Airlines}} flight carrying Yunus and his entourage first departed from {{w|Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport}} in [[Dhaka]] around 19:30 local time (13:30 UTC) on Monday, June 9, arriving in [[Heathrow Airport]] the following day at 06:05 UTC. Acting Secretary of {{w|Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Bangladesh)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs}} {{w|Md. Ruhul Alam Siddique}} called it a "very important visit". Yunus's [[w:Biman Bangladesh Airlines|Biman Bangladesh Airlines]] flight departed from Heathrow at about 18:15 UTC on Friday, arriving at Hazrat Shahjalal in Dhaka at 09:45 (03:45 UTC) the following day, according to his deputy press secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder. Professor Yunus, a [[Nobel Peace Prize]] laureate, has served as chief adviser of the interim Bangladesh government since Sheikh Hasina's ouster amid a wave of {{w|2024 Bangladesh quote reform movement|student-led protests}} in August 2024. According to ''[[Reuters]]'', the caretaker government has faced pressure from civil servants, teachers, political parties, and the military, while the opposition {{w|Bangladesh Nationalist Party|BNP}} has called for elections to be held by December. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://unb.com.bd/category/Bangladesh/prof-yunus-returns-home-from-london/161833 |title = Prof Yunus returns home from London |author = |pub = United News of Bangladesh |date = June 14, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250614225737/https://unb.com.bd/category/Bangladesh/prof-yunus-returns-home-from-london/161833 }} *{{source |url = https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/cs2mvht6bo |title = CA leaves for home wrapping up London tour |author = {{w|Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha}} |pub = Prothom Alo |date = June 14, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250615013647/https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/cs2mvht6bo }} *{{source |url = https://www.newagebd.net/post/foreign-affairs/267186/uk-team-briefs-prof-yunus-on-hms-enterprise |title = UK team briefs Prof Yunus on HMS Enterprise |author = |pub = New Age (Bangladesh) |date = June 13, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250617032522/https://www.newagebd.net/post/foreign-affairs/267186/uk-team-briefs-prof-yunus-on-hms-enterprise }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/bangladesh-interim-government-head-signals-possible-early-election-2025-06-13/ |title = Bangladesh interim government head signals possible early election |author = Ruma Paul, Alex Richardson |pub = Reuters |date = June 13, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/FSVxu }} *{{source |url = https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/politics/disclosure-unconfirmed-yunus-starmer-meeting-shows-diplomatic-imprudence |title = Disclosure of unconfirmed Yunus-Starmer meeting shows ‘diplomatic imprudence’: Analysts |author = |pub = The Business Standard |date = June 12, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250615223506/https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/politics/disclosure-unconfirmed-yunus-starmer-meeting-shows-diplomatic-imprudence }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly30pgldewo |title = Bangladesh leader declines to meet Tulip Siddiq |author = Junaid Ahmed, Joshua Nevett, Rajini Vaidyanathan |pub = BBC News English |date = June 12, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250613144559/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly30pgldewo }} *{{source |url = https://www.chathamhouse.org/2025/06/bangladesh-leader-muhammad-yunus-warns-plight-rohingya-no-hope-will-lead-explosion |title = Bangladesh leader Muhammad Yunus warns plight of Rohingya with ‘no hope’ will lead to ‘explosion’ |author = |pub = Chatham House |date = June 11, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250612161813/https://www.chathamhouse.org/2025/06/bangladesh-leader-muhammad-yunus-warns-plight-rohingya-no-hope-will-lead-explosion }} *{{source |url = https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/news/yunus-leaves-uk-four-day-official-visit-3913681 |title = Yunus leaves for UK on four‑day official visit |author = [[w:United News of Bangladesh|United News of Bangladesh]] (UNB) |pub = The Daily Star |date = June 9, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250612043502/https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/news/yunus-leaves-uk-four-day-official-visit-3913681 }} *{{source |url = https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/diplomacy/news/yunus-take-london-today-four-day-visit-3913506 |title = Yunus to take‑off for London today on four‑day visit |author = [[w:Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha|Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha]] (BSS) |pub = The Daily Star |date = June 9, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/protests-grip-bangladesh-pressure-mounts-yunus-led-government-2025-05-26/ |title = Protests grip Bangladesh as pressure mounts on Yunus-led government |author = Ruma Paul, Sudipto Ganguly, Raju Gopalakrishnan |pub = Reuters |date = May 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/VQwxj }} [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Dhaka]] [[Category:Heathrow Airport]] [[Category:Keir Starmer]] [[Category:King Charles III]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Labour Party (UK)]] {{Publish}} 281t1w70q9j39rcab1ubrc8eri96b8s 0 3016541 4866699 4865700 2025-06-30T16:39:48Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Remove use of template:Date to remove article from date category.

According to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), on March 20, Japan secured a spot in the {{W|2026 FIFA World Cup}} with a score 2-0 victory over Bahrain in a match held in Saitama. Indonesia took fourth place in this round and still have a chance to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026: that will depend on the performance in the next matches of the Asian qualifiers.

My knowledge of Wikidata sums up to "I know that any Wikipedia article has an ugly Q1234 kind of page attached to it in Wikidata, which cinnects it to other languages and if needed then to pages on other sister wikis"; wikifunctions I see as a set of pages about programmimg subroutines, so for example a function that returns z= x+y.

It outlines the minimum data we should add to each article at publication. As the Abstracts project develops, we’ll likely identify more Wikidata items to enhance our articles. What’s critical now, if we’re serious about leveraging this (and I think we should be), is to consistently create a new Wikidata item for every article and, when adding Sister links, connect our data with the corresponding Sister wiki’s data. This ensures that when a function accesses sister data, ours is included.—[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 12:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC) :I have been playing with some of the example functions listed here: [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Wikidata_operations].

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation. '''Updates for editors''' * Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new <code>+</code> toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]</code> parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019] * This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future. * Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]]. * Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.

"Dog eats my homework", not "homework is eaten by my dog". * Present tense. "Dog eats my homework", not "Dog ate my homework". * Sentence case. "Dog eats my homework", not "Dog Eats My Homework". * Include a verb. "Tesla launches SpaceX in Washington", not "SpaceX Launch Event". * Clear for a layperson. "John Smith wins FIFA Finals" is half okay. Some more obscure abbreviations should be avoided. See [https://www.noobfarm.org/quote/1576 https://www.noobfarm.org/quote/1576] for reference. * Avoid including information that may change quickly, such as number of casualties.

It was 1:38 p.m. local time (08:08 UTC). All but one of the 242 people on board perished in the crash, along with dozens more on the ground. The plane struck the city's Meghani Nagar neighborhood, crushing a residential building belonging to a nearby medical school. Firefighters and other emergency personnel reached the crash site and began loading victims onto stretchers. The airline reported there were 169 Indians, 53 British nationals, seven [[Portugal|Portuguese]] nationals, and one [[Canada|Canadian]] on the airplane. Air India's parent company, Tata Group, promised to pay for the medical care of the injured and to help rebuild the medical college. It also offered 10 million [[Indian rupee|rupees]] (US$116,117) to the families of of those who died in the crash. Boeing, the United States National Transportation Safety Board, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration all announced that they planned to cooperate with Indian authorities in investigating the crash. {{QuoteLeft|It’s nothing short of a miracle."|30px|30px|{{W|Shivani Raja}}, member of parliament for {{W|Leicester East}}, England}} According to ''The Guardian'', which cited the ''Hindustan Times'', the crash's sole survivor, a British-Indian man named Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who was in seat 11A, said the plane made a loud noise almost immediately after takeoff: "When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital." Vishwash's brother Ajay, who was also onboard, did not survive. Vishwash was on his way to the United Kingdom from {{w|Leicester}}, [[England]] where he was returning after visiting family in India.<!--"At least one passenger survived the Air India crash, police say"--> ''The Guardian'' also quoted ''Agence France-Presse'', which reported a local resident saying, "We saw people from the building jumping from the second and third floor to save themselves. The plane was in flames. We helped people get out of the building and sent the injured to the hospital." Per {{w|Aviation Safety Network}} data, this is the first reported crash of any version of the 787. The 787-8 subseries is designed specifically to handle long, nonstop routes. The 787 fleet, called Dreamliners, carried its billionth passenger in May 2025, fourteen years after first entering airline use. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c8d1r3m8z92t?page=6 |title=Air India crash latest: Airline says 241 on board plane killed in crash with one British survivor |publisher=BBC News |date=June 13, 2025 }} *{{source |date=June 13, 2025 |title=Update |url=https://x.com/airindia/status/1933240865591370052 |pub=X |author=Air India}} * {{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/ahmedabad-india-plane-crash-06-12-25 |date = June 12, 2025 |pub = CNN |author = |title = At least 290 killed in Air India crash }} *{{source |url=https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/ahmedabad-india-plane-crash-06-12-25 |title=At least one passenger survived the Air India crash, police say |publisher=CNN |author= Antoinette Radford |date=June 12, 2025: 12:12 p.m. }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/12/london-bound-air-india-flight-ai171-plane-crash-people-onboard-ahmedabad |title = Briton is 'sole survivor' of Air India plane crash that killed more than 290, police say |author = Emine Sinmaz and Hannah Ellis-Petersen |pub = Guardian |date = June 12, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250614110417/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/12/london-bound-air-india-flight-ai171-plane-crash-people-onboard-ahmedabad }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/air-india-boeing-787-8-dreamliner-safety-what-to-know/ |title = Air India crash puts spotlight on Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner safety and the company's recent troubles |author = Aimee Pichi |pub = CBS News |date = June 12, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250613013429/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/air-india-boeing-787-8-dreamliner-safety-what-to-know/ }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cje7542k0gno |title = What does the Air India crash mean for Boeing? |author = Nick Marsh |pub = BBC Online |date = June 12, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250613084055/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cje7542k0gno }} [[CAT:India]][[CAT:Boeing]][[CAT:Aviation]] {{Publish}} 3ockchl052r35u0ypogspsb18nerrcv 0 3016660 4863447 2025-06-12T17:56:46Z Darkfrog24 950005 Darkfrog24 moved page [[Boeing 787 crashes in India]] to [[Boeing 787 crashes into Indian medical school, killing hundreds]] 4863447 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Boeing 787 crashes into Indian medical school, killing hundreds]] fqxgeq1z2nk7zjo4qzxbcw62vw20btu 4 3016663 4865113 4863532 2025-06-19T21:27:59Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Update for May 4865113 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Template:2025 boost navbox}} This page serves as the central hub for general updates related to the Monthly Top Article initiative. Each month, a new section will be added with a summary of that month’s top-performing article, along with insights into overall publication activity and how it contributes to our yearly goals. These updates are based on data compiled monthly, and they provide a snapshot of our ongoing progress throughout the calendar year. If you’d like to stay informed whenever a new monthly update is published, you can subscribe to this page. Subscribing enables Echo notifications, which will alert you through your Wikimedia account when a new section is added. This is a convenient way to keep track of top-performing articles, recognize contributors, and monitor how the project is evolving over time. Click the “Subscribe” link in the tools menu or follow the instructions below to ensure you receive notifications as soon as updates are made. {{center|{{Clickable button|Subscribe|url=https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:2025_Boost_publication_rate/Monthly_top_article/Updates&action=dtsubscribe&commentname=p-topics-4%3A2025_Boost_publication_rate%2FMonthly_top_article%2FUpdates|class=mw-ui-progressive}} }} == April 2025 == [[File:2025-monthly-pub-rate-april.png|thumb|left|alt=Graph depicting Monthly pub rate for 2025|Monthly pub rate for 2025]] [[File:2025-monthly-top-article-page-views-april.png|thumb|right|alt=Graph depicting Monthly page views of top article|Monthly page views of top article]] {{clear}} Top article: "[[Streaming platform Twitch bans rapper Kanye West seven minutes into first stream for performing "Nazi salute"]]" Congratulations to the following contributors: *[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] (original author) *[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] (who's on a ''streak''!) *[[User:Dsuke1998AEOS|Dsuke1998AEOS]] *[[User:ForTheGrammar|ForTheGrammar]] Our monthly pub rate is increasing month-over-month and our monthly rate of days with 0 articles published is decreasing. Both numbers indicate an increase in reviewer activity for the year. There were a number of pages published in April that had issues and required corrections. All of the errors were unforced errors that could have been caught in the review process. This is unsustainable. The number of page views the top article receives each month has been trending up. This could be the result of increased activity (increased pub rate). Note that the data is crude and does not reflect much more. The primary goal of the Monthly top article challenge is to encourage contributors to write and otherwise contribute to more stories. However, we must remember that ''Wikinews'' operates on an implicit “quality in, quality out” principle. If an article is incomplete, unverified, or non-neutral going into review, it won’t magically become solid journalism on the other side. Once published, we can’t count on fixes after the fact. == May 2025 == [[File:2025-monthly-pub-rate-may.png|thumb|left|alt=Graph depicting Monthly pub rate for 2025|Monthly pub rate for 2025]] [[File:2025-monthly-top-article-page-views-may.png|thumb|right|alt=Graph depicting Monthly page views of top article|Monthly page views of top article]] {{clear}} This month's top article by number of page-views: [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] with 1,768 page-views as of June 19, 2025.

He was charged for the attacks. He had planned for an attack on a much larger scale, but this plan was sabotaged by police. Boelter had conducted extensive research into his victims' lives and families, according to police. Friends of Boelter said he was deeply religious and was a supporter of US President Donald Trump. The attack initially occurred early Saturday, when one Minnesota lawmaker was killed and another was injured after being targeted in what have been called "politically motivated assassination[s]" by a suspect posing as a police officer. Melissa Hortman, a Democratic state legislator from {{w|Minnesota}}, and her spouse were killed in the attack. {{w|John Hoffman}}, another Democratic state legislator, was injured in the incident along with his wife. They were separate, targeted shootings. The attacks took place in {{w|Champlin, Minnesota}} and {{w|Brooklyn Park, Minnesota}}, two adjacent suburbs about 10 miles from downtown {{w|Minneapolis}}, Minnesota. The suspect was identified as Vance Luther Boelter, 57. Boelter evaded capture following an exchange of gunfire with authorities, and as of Sunday, remains at large. According to Mark Bruley, Brooklyn Park's police chief, the suspect also drove a vehicle made to look like a police SUV. He was quoted as follows: "It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with Taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer." A search of the vehicle revealed a manifesto that included the names of other lawmakers, as well as the ones who were targeted in the incident. Abortion rights activists were also named in the manifesto. Authorities issued a shelter-in-place order for the area, and federal officials have joined the investigation. Authorities advised local residents against answering the door for police officers unless there are more than one present. [[US]] President {{w|Donald Trump}} stated that he was aware of the incident. Authorites in Minnesota urged the public not to speculate on the details of the case: "We often want easy answers for complex problems. Those answers will come as we complete the full picture of our investigation." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.npr.org/2025/06/16/nx-s1-5433748/minnesota-shooting-suspect-vance-boelter-arrested-melissa-hortman-john-hoffman |pub=NPR }} *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98j5e34dy6o |pub=BBC }} *{{source |url=https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-shootings-lawmakers-suspect-21b2165404bc66f77dd5e0e36efeb065 |pub=AP News }} *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj83q2e562o |pub=BBC |date=June 15, 2025 |author=Mike Wendling |title=Manhunt after two Minnesota state politicians targeted, one of them killed }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/14/democratic-lawmakers-minnesota-shot |title = Two Democratic lawmakers shot, one fatally, in ‘politically motivated assassination’ in Minnesota |author = Rachel Leingang |pub = The Guardian |date = June 14, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2025/06/14/nx-s1-5433645/minnesota-state-legislators-lawmaker-shootings |title = Minnesota state lawmaker killed, another wounded in targeted shootings |author = Avie Schneider, Meg Anderson |pub = NPR |date = June 14, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Minnesota]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] 986foi848f5uybkjv48m0qerly537hk 0 3016788 4863875 2025-06-15T02:59:50Z Md Mobashir Hossain 2887910 Md Mobashir Hossain moved page [[Professor Muhammad Yunus begins official visit to the UK to receive King Charles Harmony Award]] to [[Bangladeshi interim leader Muhammad Yunus returns home after four-day visit to London]]: Update news! 4863875 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Bangladeshi interim leader Muhammad Yunus returns home after four-day visit to London]] 59dfkav8gc33mlh9ealri9aozquwcqn 102 3016796 4863889 2025-06-15T08:15:50Z 2409:40F2:104A:5D7B:6494:91FF:FE10:EC9B Koy hame do lakh doge hamko gari lena he 4863889 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --> 67rkwjg627ptnfgzzpg4qumewru1g31 0 3016797 4864693 4864692 2025-06-18T20:34:43Z Heavy Water 2809714 Clarify location and that en.wn was there; c/e; clarify the interviews were conducted by en.wn; correct me if I'm wrong, but both of these sentences are describing the same protester, right? 4864693 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|June 18, 2025}} [[File:No Kings protest in San Diego.jpg|thumb|left|Protesters march down Harbor Drive. {{Image source|[[commons:User:Thinkstationx220|Thinkstationx220]]}}]] {{United States}} [[File:No Kings protest March.jpg|thumb||left|Protesters turning onto Pacific Highway after marching down Harbor Drive. {{Image source|[[commons:User:Thinkstationx220|Thinkstationx220]]}}]] [[File:No Kings protests in San Diego.jpg|thumb|left|Protesters returning to Waterfront Park through Ash Street. {{Image source|[[commons:User:Thinkstationx220|Thinkstationx220]]}}]] On June 14 at approximately 10:15 a.m. PDT (1715 UTC) a series of planned protests organized by Take Action {{w|San Diego}} began in {{w|Downtown San Diego}}, [[California]]; ''Wikinews'' was there. The protests were part of the larger {{w|No Kings protests}} that occurred in California and other parts of the [[United States]] to protest against the administration and policies of President [[Donald Trump]], in response to their perceived authoritarianism. According to {{w|CBS8}}, citing the {{w|San Diego Police Department}}, an estimated 80,000 people gathered at Waterfront Park in front of the {{W|San Diego County Administration Center}}. Protesters then began marching southbound on Harbor Drive and continued marching south until turning left to march north on Pacific Highway. ''Wikinews'' spoke to multiple protesters. "We don't like what Trump's doing and the fascism that going on and the authoritarianism. You know, so when they said no kings, that's what America's all about," said an elderly couple attending the protest. "I'm protesting the administration and all of its illegal moves, all of its illegal actions and what the president and his cronies are doing to this country is absolutely illegal, and they are the ones who are the un-Americans," said a protester when asked why they came. One protester that was interviewed stated they have been personally affected by the policies of President Donald Trump: "I'm transgender and I kind of like my rights. It was one of the first things that Donald Trump did with his edicts when he tried to become king to say that the federal government doesn't recognize transgender identity as existing." Protesters continued north on Pacific Highway until returning to Waterfront Park via Ash Street. The San Diego protest remained peaceful throughout the day, according to Police Chief Scott Wahl. By 1:30 p.m. PDT (2030 UTC) the majority of the protesters had left. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.kpbs.org/news/politics/2025/06/14/thousands-march-through-downtown-for-no-kings-day-protest |title = 60,000+ march through downtown for 'No Kings' Day protest |author = Jacob Aere |pub = KPBS Public Media |date = June 16, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/no-kings-protests-san-diego-county/3847335/ |title = Thousands of people participate in 'No Kings' protests across San Diego County |author = |pub = KNSD |date = June 16, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/no-kings-march-downtown-san-diego/509-51aaf1b7-8d24-4e08-9a32-a0ea70cb9fb0 |title = 'No Kings' &#124; More than 80,000 marched in downtown San Diego |author = |pub = KFMB-TV |date = June 14, 2025 |archiverl= }} {{original}} [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Protests]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:California]] [[Category:San Diego, California]] [[Category:Transgender]] {{Publish}} j4zax1p6qg7g5bkyes6mhcyh9ofaxjo 0 3016814 4864883 4864870 2025-06-19T12:24:30Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Undo revision [[Special:Diff/4864870|4864870]] by [[Special:Contributions/Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) Changes not made within 24-hour grace period, unfortunately.

Compatible apps can now be converted to "Shared App" format (and reverted if needed), allowing them to launch in "Multitask" mode. This launches the app in LiveContainer's new window manager, where all multitasked apps have their own windows that can be moved, resized, zoomed in-and-out, and closed. Windows can also be set to use iOS's native {{w|picture-in-picture}} feature, though this prevents interaction with the window. Such shared apps automatically adapt to fill their window's size but are unable to be inspected by LiveContainer's file browser. On iPad, multitasked apps can open in separate, full native iOS windows that may utilize iPadOS's native multitasking features. iOS {{w|sideloading}} is the process of installing apps to iOS devices through installation files instead of Apple's App Store. Currently, it makes use of tools Apple provides for developers to test their apps, each of which needs to be packaged as an IPA installation file through Apple's tools. This practice was popularized by {{w|AltStore}}. Without applying for the paid {{w|Apple Developer Program}}, one can only sideload up to three apps at a time, which expire after seven days if not refreshed. In practice, users often keep an app refresher installed, leaving only slots for two additional apps. Originally developed for personal use in mid-2023, LiveContainer became a sideloading staple with its April 2024 pre-release version 2.0. After registering their IPA files within LiveContainer—which creates a separate, modifiable guest environment for each app—most apps can be launched and used without issues. No matter the amount of apps registered within LiveContainer, only one app slot is taken up: that of LiveContainer's, effectively bypassing the three-app limit.<!--1.0 could also do this but required JIT, which is probably a bit much to explore--> Sideloading was formerly instead done through {{w|iOS jailbreaking|iOS "jailbreaking"}}, which uses {{w|software exploits}} for iPhone users to bypass Apple's software restrictions. Jailbreaking has faded in recent years as Apple's security updates gradually patched the relevant exploits. Other changes and fixes in LiveContainer 3.5.0 include new support for using paid Apple Developer Program certificates, searching within added apps, installation files with the ".tipa" file extension, and faster app launching. {{haveyoursay}} {{original}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/releases/tag/3.5.0 |title = LiveContainer Release 3.5.0 |author = hugeBlack |pub = GitHub |date = June 15, 2025 |archiveurl = }} prwj9ohcqvspjvkqz4lmpp4rssvtsxg 102 3016994 4864687 4864665 2025-06-18T19:47:00Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[Comments:San Diego Joins nationwide No Kings protest]] to [[Comments:San Diego joins US-wide No Kings protests]]: Automatically moving associated comments namespace page to new name, with [[user talk:Bawolff|JS assistance]] 4864665 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3017000 4864684 2025-06-18T19:46:56Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[San Diego Joins nationwide No Kings protest]] to [[San Diego joins US-wide No Kings protests]]: Caps; clarify which nation; I feel like the plural "protests" might be more appropriate here. 4864684 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[San Diego joins US-wide No Kings protests]] fmswyj3wadjonx2pdl9aklnizr39ubq 102 3017002 4864688 2025-06-18T19:47:00Z Heavy Water 2809714 Heavy Water moved page [[Comments:San Diego Joins nationwide No Kings protest]] to [[Comments:San Diego joins US-wide No Kings protests]]: Automatically moving associated comments namespace page to new name, with [[user talk:Bawolff|JS assistance]] 4864688 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Comments:San Diego joins US-wide No Kings protests]] h6kraotr27ngp8e58w5moizjui64fk9 0 3017011 4866251 4864878 2025-06-27T21:10:15Z BigKrow 2871522 4866251 wikitext text/x-wiki {{stale}} {{date|June 19, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> Tuesday, doctors in [[Georgia (US state)|Georgia]] removed the body of Adrianna Smith from life support. Smith's situation made the news earlier this year<!--February per BBC--> when she became brain-dead and the state of Georgia demanded that she be kept on life support on the grounds that she was pregnant. Smith, then 30, went to a doctor complianing of headaches in February. The doctor prescribed her medicine and sent her home. The next day, her boyfriend woke up to find her struggling to breathe and making strange sounds. She was taken to Emory University Hospital, where she was diagnosed with blood clots and pronounced braindead.<!--NBC--> At the time, she was eight weeks pregant.<!--11A--> Georgia law bans almost all abortions after six weeks. "I'm not saying we would have chosen to terminate her pregnancy," Smith's mother, April Newkirk, told a local news agency. "But I'm saying we should have had a choice." Newkirk continued to express this sentiment in June. Authorities in Georgia interpreted the state's strict limits on abortion to prohibit doctors from removing the ventilator that kept Smith's blood oxygenated. Kara Murray of the state Attorney General's Office said in May that the law did not require patients to remain on ventialtors after brain death, but state senator Ed Setzler, a Republican, said "I think it is completely appropriate that the hospital do what they can to save the life of the child. I think this is an unusual circumstance, but I think it highlights the value of innocent human life." The hospital refused to comment on confidentiality grounds. According to Smith's mother, April Newkirk, Smith's son, named Chance, was delivered by emergency<!--was it an emergency--> [[C-section]] on Friday. He weighed 1 pound 13 ounces at birth and has since been treated at the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Georgia put a law in place banning almost all abortions in 2019.

This functionality supports automated workflows that help identify markup in draft articles, enabling template logic or tools to take appropriate action based on whether cleanup markup is present. == Usage == This module is typically invoked within a template to conditionally display content based on whether the page includes <code>{{tl|verify}}</code>. === Basic Usage in a Template === <pre> {{#invoke:DetectMarkup|detectMarkup}} </pre> * Returns <code>"true"</code> if the page contains <code>{{tl|verify}}</code> (with or without parameters). * Returns <code>"false"</code> if the template is not present. === Conditional Display Example === This example changes output based on the result from the module: <pre> {{#switch: {{#invoke:DetectMarkup|detectMarkup}} | true = <span style="color:orange;">This page contains markup for verification.</span> | false = <span style="color:green;">No verification markup detected on this page.</span> | #default = <span style="color:gray;">Unable to determine markup status.</span> }} </pre> == How It Works == # The module retrieves the raw wikitext of the current page. # It checks if <code>{{tl|verify}}</code> appears in the wikitext, allowing for optional parameters. # If the template is found, the module returns <code>"true"</code>. # If not found, the module returns <code>"false"</code>. == Limitations == * The module only checks the raw wikitext of the page. If <code>{{tl|verify}}</code> is transcluded via another template, it may not be detected. * The module currently detects only the <code>{{tl|verify}}</code> template. It is structured to allow additional templates to be added in the future. <includeonly> <!-- CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS HERE, THANKS --> </includeonly> 4rv9qfmdhkiae2yk3ogf3nlz0mec23d 10 3017044 4864958 4864948 2025-06-19T15:24:46Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 note to reviewer 4864958 wikitext text/x-wiki {{xambox |image=[[File:Emojione 26A0.svg|40px]] |type=serious |text= An editor who was not involved in the creation of this article is currently carrying out an '''in-depth [[WN:Reviewing articles|review]]''' to confirm it fully complies with Wikinews [[Wikinews:policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]].

It discourages others from editing the article while review is in progress, preventing edit conflicts and ensuring a clean and consistent evaluation of the article. This template is most often placed at the top of an article immediately prior to starting a formal Wikinews review. == Usage == Place the template at the top of the article that is being reviewed: <code><nowiki>{{under review}}</nowiki></code> === Optional Parameters === ; <code>nocat</code> : If <code>nocat</code> has any value, it suppresses automatic categorization in [[:Category:Under review]]. This is useful for testing or in documentation/talk spaces. :Example: :<code><nowiki>{{under review|nocat=yes}}</nowiki></code> == Automatic Markup Detection == This template uses the Lua module [[Module:DetectMarkup]] to detect whether the page includes draft-only markup templates, such as <code>{{tl|verify}}</code>.

The strike, designated Operation Midnight Hammer by the U.S. military, was ordered by President [[Donald Trump]] and announced late Saturday night from Washington. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the first bombs were dropped on the Fordow site at approximately 6:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (2240 UTC) on Saturday, as part of a coordinated strike involving seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers. {{w|Tomahawk (missile family)|Tomahawk missiles}} were fired from a U.S. Navy submarine, and B-2 stealth bombers, after an 18-hour flight from the United States with support from fighter escorts and refueling aircraft, dropped a total of fourteen 30,000-pound {{w|GBU-57A/B MOP|GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP)}} bunker buster bombs. According to Air Force General {{w|Dan Caine}}, {{w|chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff}}, this marked the first operational use of the GBU-57. During a press briefing, General Caine said he agreed with President Donald Trump's assessment that "no other military in the world could have done this," and praised the mission as a demonstration of the United States' "unmatched reach, coordination and capability." According to the {{w|United States Department of Defense|U.S. Department of Defense}}, the operation included deception tactics involving decoy aircraft flying west over the Pacific Ocean to conceal the true direction and intent of the main strike package. Defense Secretary {{w|Pete Hegseth}} stated the mission was not intended as a regime change effort, but rather a precision operation "to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and [in support of] the collective self-defense of our troops and our ally, Israel." Hours after the strikes, Iranian Foreign Minister {{w|Abbas Araghchi}} condemned the U.S. action, saying the time for diplomacy had ended and that Iran had the right to defend itself. "The warmongering, a lawless administration in Washington is solely and fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far reaching implications of its act of aggression," Araghchi said during a press conference in Turkey, according to the ''Associated Press''. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == * {{wikinews|Iran and United States schedule fourth round of talks|April 28, 2025}} * {{wikinews|Iran and US plan meetings of technical experts after second round of negotiations|April 25, 2025}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4222533/hegseth-caine-laud-success-of-us-strike-on-iran-nuke-sites/ |title = Hegseth, Caine Laud Success of U.S. Strike on Iran Nuke Sites |author = Matthew Olay |pub = US Department of Defense |date = June 22, 2025 |archiveurl = |medium = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-trump-bomber-news-06-22-2025-c2baca52babe915e033ae175ce8b2687 |title = US strikes 3 Iranian nuclear sites, inserting itself into Israel's war with Iran |author = David Rising, Jon Gambrell, and Aamer Madhani |pub = Associated Press |date = June 22, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/video/the-us-is-fully-responsible-for-the-consequences-of-its-strikes-on-iran-irans-top-diplomat-says-1b8e0d9c94484ea785a0b4057191b10f |title = The US is ‘fully responsible’ for the consequences of its strikes on Iran, Iran’s top diplomat says |author = |pub = Associated Press |date = June 22, 2025 |archiveurl = |medium = Video }} *{{source |url = https://www.ft.com/content/cc5f3407-22ef-4fd4-9825-7810bcea3c5e |title = US bombs nuclear sites in Iran |author = Steff Chávez, Demetri Sevastopulo, James Politi, Lauren Fedor |pub = Financial Times |date = June 21, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.is/20250623024158/https://www.ft.com/content/cc5f3407-22ef-4fd4-9825-7810bcea3c5e |medium = }} [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Iran]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Nuclear weapons]] [[Category:Nuclear technology]] [[Category:Michael.C.Wright (Wikinewsie)]] {{Publish}} jguspfy2yz6sb80qdk1y360y38stb8d 4 3017213 4865630 4865569 2025-06-23T01:19:29Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 use WN:RVC since WN:RC is taken for wikinews:Recent changes (booo) 4865630 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude>{{shortcut|WN:RVC}}</noinclude> {{xambox | type = notice | image = [[File:Information icon4.svg|40px]] | text = '''Draft in progress'''.<br />This page is currently being drafted and is not yet proposed as a guideline.

Confirm readiness for review == * Ensure the article is marked {{tl|review}}, not {{tl|develop}}. * Confirm you are uninvolved in the article's development. * Only proceed if you have the [[Wikinews:Reviewer|reviewer]] permission. == 2. Start the review == * Place {{tl|under review}} at the top of the article to signal that a review is in progress and discourage editing conflicts. == 3. Evaluate the article == Check the article against the five required criteria from [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]]: # '''Copyright''' #: No copyright violations in text or images. Images must be properly licensed and attributed. You can use [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Help:Earwig's_copyvio_detector Earwig's copyvio detector] to assist in checking for potential copyright violations. See also: [[WN:Plagiarism]] # '''Newsworthiness''' #: The event must be timely, relevant, and newsworthy per the [[Wikinews:Content guide]]. # '''Verifiability''' #: All factual content must be supported by cited sources or original reporting notes, per [[Wikinews:Cite sources]]. At least two independent sources are required in synthesis articles to support the focal event. At least one source is required for [[WN:OR|original reporting]] # '''Neutrality''' #: Tone must be neutral. No editorial commentary, bias, or unsourced opinion, per [[WN:NPOV]] # '''Style''' #: Article must comply with the [[Wikinews:Style guide]] == 4. Final checks before passing == Ensure the article includes and correctly formats the following: # {{tl|Date}} with the correct publication date. # Main article content. # {{tl|Haveyoursay}} (optional). # Source list using {{tl|Source}}: #: Archive each URL with the Wayback Machine (use <code>archiveurl=</code>). #: Ensure all parameters are completed if values are obtainable, such as authors, language if non-english, medium if PDF or other, etc. See {{tl|Source}} documentation for details. # Remove any remaining markup or hidden comments: #* {{tl|Verify}}, {{tl|Highlight}}, <nowiki><!-- HTML notes --></nowiki>, etc. # Verify image licensing and attribution with {{tl|Image source}}, {{tl|Image}}, or equivalent. # Verify all links resolve properly and do not land on disambiguation pages # Convert {{tl|w}} links to local links when they resolve to local categories. == 5. Record your decision == Use the Easy Peer Review gadget to Provide specific, actionable feedback. Explain what was correct, incorrect, or needed improvement. Easy Peer Review should automatically: * Update {{tl|Date}} with today's date * Remove {{tl|Under review}} and {{tl|Review}} or {{tl|Breaking review}} * Add {{tl|Publish}} as needed * Add {{tl|Tasks}} as needed * Add {{tl|peer reviewed}} on the article talk page To manually record your decision: * Remove {{tl|Under review}} and {{tl|Review}} or {{tl|Breaking review}} :If passed review: :* Change date in {{tl|Date}} to today's date :*Add {{tl|Published}} to the bottom of the article, below the Sources section (this template adds the "Share this" box with social media links) :*Remove any article stage templates such as {{tl|Develop}} :*Remove any markup templates such as {{tl|Verify}}, {{tl|Highlight}}, <nowiki><!-- HTML notes --></nowiki>, etc. :* Add {{tl|peer reviewed}} with <code>pass</code> to the article's talk page. Follow template documentation to complete a full report. :If failed review: :* Place <nowiki>{{Tasks|re-review}}</nowiki> :* Add {{tl|peer reviewed}} with <code>fail</code> to the article's talk page. Follow template documentation to complete a full report. == 6. If article passes == * Follow the steps in [[Wikinews:Publish checklist]] to: # Update the Main Page (lead shuffle). # Create a Wikidata item. # Monitor the article for 24 hours after publication. == 7. Post-publication revisions == : ''Per [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]]'' * All edits within 24 hours must be reviewed by a reviewer and accepted (sighted) or rejected. **Changes during this period should be limited to corrections of factual inaccuracies, typos, bias, imbalance, etc. **''Wikinews'' must not rely on the wiki process to update articles post-publication. This is a basic requirement defined by Meta: [[m:Wikinews]] * After 24 hours, the article should be edit-protected. * After 7 days, the article should be archived. * Use {{tl|editprotected}} to request edits after the protection period. == 8. Tips for reviewers == * Use a scratchpad or On Screen Edit for temporary markup and notes during review. * Prioritize newer submissions when multiple articles are queued. * Review improved resubmissions promptly. * Avoid publishing if you made substantive changes — request a second reviewer if needed. == See also == * [[Wikinews:Publish checklist]] * [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]] * [[Wikinews:Style guide]] * [[Wikinews:Content guide]] * [[Wikinews:Tips on reviewing articles]] * [[Wikinews:Neutrality]] * [[Wikinews:Legal Library]] * [[Wikinews:Correction policy]] 33zosc69mlxkrhdbut0fa1l0zp3lwvv 0 3017221 4866815 4866814 2025-06-30T21:32:44Z BigKrow 2871522 4866815 wikitext text/x-wiki {{delete|promotional}} {{date|June 22, 2025}} Jeanmarco Cicolini, originally from Italy and known for his work in geometric and blackout tattooing, has announced the beginning of a new professional phase in Switzerland.

The historic [[Wikinews:Categories and topic pages]] proposal has no mention of a required article minimum and in fact encourages creation of specific location and topic categories as needed. [[Wikinews:Categories]] (a draft essay by [[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]]) also does not reference any minimum threshold. It contains no community discussion and focuses on categorization mechanics, not limitations. The only known reference to a 3–5 article threshold appears in [[WN:Archive]]: "Once a topic, such as a city or politician, has three to five relevant articles, a category should be created..." However, this statement: * Appears in a policy about archival procedures, not category creation policy. * Suggests a point at which category creation becomes necessary, not a restriction on earlier creation. * Does not prohibit creating categories in anticipation of future use or to aid organization. I propose clarifying our categorization guidance to reflect that early or anticipatory category creation is acceptable when it improves organization, navigation, or supports planned coverage, while still encouraging responsible and judicious use. '''Current policy text:''' :Once a topic, such as a city or politician, has three to five relevant articles, a category should be created and added to relevant articles. '''Proposed policy update:''' :Once a topic, such as a city or politician, has three to five published articles, a category should be created and applied to those articles. :This guideline is intended to assist administrators in identifying when a new category is warranted during the archival process. However, nothing in this policy prohibits editors from creating categories earlier when doing so improves navigation, supports anticipated coverage, or contributes to better article organization. :In all cases, editors are encouraged to use discretion and ensure the category is relevant, appropriate in scope, and likely to be reused. Lastly, in practice, only administrators can edit archived articles, and we currently have very few active admins. This means that relying solely on category creation during the archival process can delay basic improvements to article organization. Clarifying that editors may create appropriate categories earlier, outside of the archival workflow, could help streamline collaboration and improve navigation. I see this proposal as a small but practical step toward increasing reader retention through better article categorization and association. Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 14:02, 23 May 2025 (UTC); edited by adding note at top 14:08, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :One quick thing I wanted to mention before diving into the rest of this: I still think having a dedicated page to discuss category creation (e.g. creating something like [[Wikinews:Water cooler/categoriesandtopics]]) will be helpful in the future, since the need for category creation and responsible discussion around that will likely greatly increase over time. I'm proposing this to replace the current method described at [[Wikinews:Content guide#Write news articles]], which suggests that category-related discussion should be held at [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals]].

All I can think of adding for now is that there are probably further ideas we can put into policy regarding categories, but let's finish discussing those at the [Water cooler/proposals] page first. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:39, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :One thing I might suggest is that this policy should encourage uniformity with Wikipedia categories (or at least articles) where possible.

The preliminary, low-confidence analysis, prepared by the {{w|Defense Intelligence Agency}} (DIA), contradicted public statements by U.S. officials that the strikes had significantly crippled Iran's nuclear capabilities. The preliminary assessment by the DIA, first reported by ''CNN'' and later confirmed by ''Reuters'' and others, concluded that the June 22 U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities set the program back by only one to two months. The classified analysis, based on early satellite imagery, according to ''Al Jazeera'' and the ''Associated Press'', contradicted public statements by President [[Donald Trump]] and senior officials such as Defense Secretary {{w|Pete Hegseth}}, who described the operation as having "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities. While Trump told the [[United Nations Security Council]] the facilities had been "degraded," he and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continued to publicly insist the program had been "buried under a mountain of rubble." White House Press Secretary {{w|Karoline Leavitt}} called the reported DIA assessment "flat-out wrong." According to multiple reports citing individuals familiar with the assessment, the strikes collapsed the entrances to two of the targeted facilities and damaged infrastructure, but did not destroy the underground structures. The extent of damage varied by site; ''Reuters'' and the ''Associated Press'' reported that while entrances were caved in or blocked and surface infrastructure was hit, the underground buildings—such as those at {{w|Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant|Fordow}} remained structurally intact. U.S. officials and media reports indicated that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was likely preserved, with one source telling ''Reuters'' it had not been eliminated, and ''Al Jazeera'' reporting that the DIA believed the material had been moved before the strikes, limiting the destruction of nuclear stockpiles. Media reports also suggest that some of Iran's {{w|Centrifuge |centrifuges}} may have remained intact. ''Reuters'' reported that, according to ''The Washington Post'', a person familiar with the DIA assessment said some enrichment centrifuges survived the strikes. ''Al Jazeera'' likewise cited sources familiar with the report who described the centrifuges as "largely intact." While the ''Associated Press'' did not address potential damage to the centrifuges, it quoted a nuclear expert who said Iran may have moved some of them before the attack, though transporting them without damage would be difficult. On Tuesday, when questioned by CNN, the chairman emeritus of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, has described the damage to the Iranian program as "temporary setback": "I’ve been briefed on this plan in the past, and it was never meant to completely destroy the nuclear facilities, but rather cause significant damage. But it was always known to be a temporary setback." However, as reported by the Associated Press, the agency characterized the report as "low confidence," acknowledging its conclusions could be mistaken. The ''Associated Press'' reported that, according to a statement from the DIA, the assessment was considered preliminary and would be refined as new information became available. The ''Associated Press'' further noted that the report's authors explicitly characterized their findings as "low confidence," an acknowledgment within the document itself that its conclusions could be mistaken. ''Reuters'' quoted a U.S. official familiar with the document who said it contained a number of caveats and described it as including "ifs," with a more refined version likely to follow. The ''Associated Press'' reported that, according to a DIA statement, analysts had not been able to review the sites themselves—an assessment also limited, analysts told ''Reuters'' and ''Al Jazeera'', by its reliance on satellite imagery, which may not fully reveal the extent of damage to deeply buried facilities like Fordow. One official told ''Reuters'' that the degree to which [[Iran]] can resume operations depends largely on how quickly it can restore damaged utilities such as power and water systems. Israel's assessment of the consequences of the strikes on Iran states that the combination of Israeli and US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites delayed the progress of Iran's nuclear program by at least two years, likely more since Israel has no intention to cease interference with Iranian nuclear program. While Israel earlier claimed that the US’ 30,000-pounds bombs are necessary to significantly damage the uranium enrichment facilities, this report after the US strikes does not show much difference from the earlier, publicly shared before the US strikes, assessment that Iran’s nuclear program had been delayed by Israeli attacks by two years. Nonetheless, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday "We have removed two immediate existential threats to us - the threat of nuclear annihilation and the threat of annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles," in video remarks published by his office. As Al Hadath from Saudi Arabia reports, quoting an anonymous Israeli source, Israel believes that most of enriched uranium in Iran is buried under the rubble. Brad Sherman, a Democratic US Congressman and part of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, stated to the BBC: "When they say obliterate the programme, they're not even saying whether it's obliterated the centrifuges and the ability to create uranium in the future or whether it is obliterating the stockpile. All indications, including Vice-President Vance's statement, indicate that we don't think we got the stockpile," referencing images which show trucks visiting a facility several days before the bomb strikes. {{haveyoursay}} ==Related news == * {{wikinews|U.S. strikes Iranian nuclear sites Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan overnight|June 24, 2025}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2025/06/28/trump-dismisses-reports-us-is-weighing-up-to-30-billion-civilian-nuclear-deal-for-iran |title=Trump dismisses reports US is weighing up to $30 billion civilian nuclear deal for Iran |author=Reuters |pub=Al Arabiya |date=June 28, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/25/us-didnt-destroy-irans-nuclear-programme-heres-what-new-intel-says |title = US didn't destroy Iran's nuclear programme: Here's what new intel says |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = June 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-program-military-strikes-trump-f0fc085a2605e7da3e2f47ff9ac0e01d |title = Early US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months |author = Michelle L.

There is no official definition of "nationwide injunction," but, according to ''Harvard Law Review'', it is generally understood to be a judicial decision that is meant to apply to the entire country and not only to the people involved in the lawsuit.<!--HLR CTRL-F "debate the proper terminiology"--> According to the Congressional Research Service, federal judges have issued nationwide injunctions stopping 25 of Trump's executive orders covering such issues as his firing of Federal government employees and his opposition to {{w|DEI|diversity and equity}} programs.<!--BBC--> Because these rulings were nationwide injunctions, they applied to whole classes of people even though the lawsuits were not class action lawsuits. The specific case before the Court concerned nationwide injunctions stopping an executive order concerning birthright citizenship. On January 20, President Trump signed an executive order declaring that states must stop issuing American birth certificates to children whose parents entered the United States illegally or were otherwise not permanent residents.<!--NYBar and White House--> Twenty-two states and several other organizations sued the Trump Administration to stop the executive branch of the U.S. government from enforcing this order. The federal courts' nationwide injunctions allowed the states to continue processing birth certificates as usual while the various court cases made their way through the American legal system. Because they were nationwide injunctions, these decisions applied to all 50 states, not only to the states and other plaintiffs that sued. The majority decision in Friday's case, authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, stated that federal judges do not have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions when they find that the executive branch of the United States' government has exceeded its authority or broken the law. Instead, the judges' decisions must apply only to the plaintiffs who brought the case before them: "Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts," reads the opinion. "The Court grants the Government's applications for a partial stay of the injunctions entered below, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue." The majority opinion specifically stated that the Court was not taking a position on the constitutionality of the Trump Administration's actions, only on the constitutionality of the federal courts'. In other words, the Justices were not saying which way they would rule if the issue of birthright citizenship reached the Supreme Court in some other case. The Court also ruled that the Trump Administration's order on these birth certificates must not take effect for thirty days from Friday. According to ''NPR'', this is to give such cases time to reach them. The executive order regarding citizenship, signed January 20, reads, "It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons (1) when that person's mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth, or (2) when that person’s mother's presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person's father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth." This executive order contradicts a longstanding U.S. policy of {{W|Jus soli|birthright citizenship}}. This policy was established with the {{w|Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution}}<!--NPR--> after the [[US Civil War|American Civil War]] specifically to deal with the legal status of former slaves and their descendants. Since then, it has been interpreted to mean that anyone born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen. The Supreme Court upheld this interpretation in 1898 and again in 1982, and Congress codified it in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.<!--NYBar--> The Trump Administration, however, argues that birthright citizenship does not apply if both parents entered the U.S. illegally. ''NPR'' calls this interpretation of the amendment and legal precedent a "fringe view."<!--NPR--> According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, "Americans are finally getting what they voted for."<!--NPR--> United States Senator Peter Welch of Vermont told the press: "President Trump’s Supreme Court has decided to limit lower courts' ability to hold him accountable. Let's be clear: this is another instance of the Court bending over backwards to insulate this administration from any restraint on its power."<!--AP--> Trump, posted on {{w|Truth Social}}: "GIANT WIN."<!--NPR--> {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2025/06/27/nx-s1-5435786/scotus-birthright-citizenship-universal-injunctions |title = Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions in birthright citizenship order |author = Nina Totenberg |pub = NPR |date = June 27, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/live/supreme-court-decisions-updates#00000197-b2db-db03-a79f-b6ff33c00000 |title = Court’s ruling on nationwide injunctions ‘smacks of hypocrisy,’ US senator says |author = Michael Casey |pub = Associated Press |date = June 27, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9velv7z4no |title = Top court ruling expands Trump's power - and he intends to use it |author = Anthony Zurcher |pub = BBC |date = June 27, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:United States]] e5enifnftthefumwtp7pnaeim8agpsp 0 3017520 4866394 4866338 2025-06-28T21:28:10Z BigKrow 2871522 Former??? 4866394 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tasks|exp}} {{develop}} {{date|June 28, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> On June 27, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly ended trade negotiations with Canada after Ottawa confirmed it would implement digital services tax on major tech firms.

The organization recently acquired the property with the goal of transforming it into a public museum, leveraging momentum from the successful opening of another Crim family home, the Dean Keener Crim House. The Lou Della Crim House, built in 1920, stands at 201 N. Longview Street and holds a Texas Historical Commission marker. It occupies the former site of the Hearne Hotel. The restoration project is expected to be extensive, addressing years of neglect with overgrown grounds, rogue saplings, and wisteria. KHPF Board President Chip Hale emphasized the need for "aggressive fundraising" and public support to complete the renovation, which includes restoring the house itself and three towering derricks with pumpjacks on the property. The Crim family played a pivotal role in Kilgore's history, particularly during the East Texas oil boom. Lou Della (Thompson) Crim's farm at Laird Hill was instrumental in the oil exploration efforts spearheaded by her son, Malcolm Crim. On December 28, 1930, the Bateman-Crim Wildcat Well No. 1, located on her property, blew in, becoming the discovery well for this significant portion of the East Texas oilfield. This event dramatically transformed Kilgore, leading to a population surge from 700 to 10,000 in just three days. Malcolm Crim, Lou Della's son, became Kilgore's first mayor following the city's incorporation in 1931. He was elected in an overwhelming 102-0 vote, reportedly taking the office not as a politician, but to protect the nascent oil boomtown from being "overrun with the wrong kind of people." He famously called upon Texas Ranger Captain M.T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas, housing him in his mother's home, which overlooked the north side of the depot. The Lou Della Crim No. 1 well, named after his mother, initially produced 20,000 barrels per day and was eventually plugged in 1961. While the Lou Della Crim House is a crucial piece of Kilgore's oil history, it is not the city's oldest dwelling. That distinction belongs to the Dean Keener Crim Home, located at 101 E. North Street. Constructed around 1876 by S.G. Dean, it is considered the oldest house still standing in Kilgore. This home was later acquired by L.J. and Allie Keener in 1881, and then by Wiley Newton Crim (Lou Della's brother-in-law) in 1902. The Dean Keener Crim Home, also a project of the KHPF, recently hosted a free open house in May 2025, allowing the public to experience a significant piece of Kilgore's early history and an example of a 19th-century East Texas family home. The Kilgore Historical Preservation Foundation plans to use the revitalized Lou Della Crim House to house another collection of Kilgore heritage, welcoming community input on its best use. Fundraising efforts are underway, with more information available at KilgoreHistory.org and on the @KilgoreHistory Facebook page. The long-term preservation of both Crim family homes underscores the community's commitment to safeguarding its rich and unique history. ==Sources== {{source |url = https://www.kltv.com/2025/06/24/kilgore-historical-foundation-raising-funds-restore-lou-della-crim-house/ |title = Kilgore historical foundation raising funds to restore Lou Della Crim House |publisher = KLTV |date = June 24, 2025 }} {{source |url = https://www.kltv.com/2025/05/15/webxtra-dean-kenner-crim-home-hosting-free-open-house-kilgore/ |title = WebXtra: Dean Keener Crim Home hosting free open house in Kilgore |publisher = KLTV |date = May 15, 2025 }} {{source |url = https://kilgorecurrent.com/historical-preservation-foundation-launches-new-revitalization-project-to-save-kilgore-landmark/ |title = Historical preservation foundation launches new revitalization project to save Kilgore landmark |publisher = Kilgore Current |date = June 24, 2025 }} {{source |url = https://greggcounty.texas.gov/assets/main/departments/historical-commission/historical-markers/Lou-Della-Crim-Home--1981.pdf |title = Lou Della Crim Home 1981 |publisher = Gregg County Historical Commission |date = May 30, 2025 }} {{source |url = https://khpf.org/a-historical-perspective/ |title = A Historical Perspective |publisher = Kilgore Historical Preservation Foundation |date = Unknown }} {{source |url = https://www.stoppingpoints.com/texas/sights.cgi?marker=Lou+Della+Crim+Home&cnty=gregg |title = Lou Della Crim Home in Kilgore, Texas |publisher = StoppingPoints.com |date = Unknown }} {{source |url = https://khpf.org/the-dean-keener-crim-home/ |title = The Dean Keener Crim Home |publisher = Kilgore Historical Preservation Foundation |date = Unknown }} {{source |url = https://www.txrusk.com/marker/markloud.htm |title = Lou Della Crim No. 1 |publisher = Rusk County, TXGenWeb |date = Unknown }} [[Category:Kilgore, Texas]] m8peebhlk49abnz05iposzxbwz1jeij 0 3017543 4866598 4866463 2025-06-29T23:02:36Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 4866598 wikitext text/x-wiki {{review}} {{date|June 28, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Solar Eclipse on Saturn.jpg|thumb|left|Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, casts a small dark shadow over the planet’s surface during a rare solar eclipse, while Dione, Tethys, and Enceladus can be seen near the rings. {{image|Adam Smadi}}]] {{Space}} A 20-year-old astrophotographer from {{w|Shoreline, Washington|Shoreline, Washington}}, has photographed a rare {{w|Solar eclipse|solar eclipse}} on [[Saturn]], an event that will not be seen again until 2038. The photographer, Adam Smadi, planned the image days ahead and took the image on June 1, 2025, using the {{w|Stellarium (software)|Stellarium software}} to pinpoint when Saturn’s largest moon, [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], would cast a shadow across the planet’s surface. Adam Smadi set up his 9.25-inch {{w|Telescope|telescope}} at about 1 a.m. so the optics could cool to the outdoor temperature. This step helps prevent air currents inside the telescope tube that can blur images. By 3:30 a.m., Saturn was high enough above the horizon to begin taking photos. To record the eclipse, Smadi used a specialized {{w|Astrophotography|astrophotography}} camera, the ZWO ASI662MC, along with an {{w|Infrared cut-off filter|infrared filter}} that can bring out detail in Saturn’s clouds and rings. He took continuous video clips, then used software to sort and combine thousands of sharp frames into a single image. The result shows Titan’s small dark shadow crossing Saturn’s pale surface. In the same view, three other moons, {{w|Dione (moon)|Dione}}, {{w|Tethys (moon)|Tethys}}, and {{w|Enceladus|Enceladus}}, appear as tiny dots near the rings. Adam Smadi initially shared the photos on his {{w|Instagram|Instagram}}.

Discuss about itself without bringing in thoughts from the world around it. It makes a "public consultation about Wikinews", using a report of the Wikimedia "Sister Projects Task Force", SPTF, called "Proposal for Closing {{w|Wikinews}}". There is at least three aspects into this discussion: First, the report itself. While the content is good by itself, it is only 20% of the story. Why? It does not consider the real world. It just looks at the Wikinews sites themselves and analyzes the traffic. It does not provide definitions of what news is for the authors, or its educational purpose. But a working assumption anyway is that everything is educational, like the Columbine mass shooting, or some war in some remote part of the world, or some Hollywood actor had a beauty operation, a new film being published. All educational. Second, one could have expected a discussion about what news is, and how people nowadays keep informing themselves. In this aspect the report unfortunately fails completely. There is no mention of young people, nothing about TikTok, Instagram and the like, nothing about fake news, nothing about discussion on Twitter, Bluesky, Facebook, nothing about different news formats like texts, videos, generated content. There is no discussion on what Wikipedia needs to operate - reliable sources and how to get them. There is also no dicussion about the news industry in general, not from a US perspective, and not from other countries' perspectives either. And third, one could be really curious to put some phantasy in how modern news could look like, including publishing opinions, rating and classifying things. There is unfortunately zero thought about it in the report, and thus it reads like a piece written by an accountant. Who wants to bet what the outcome will be? Will it be an accountant discussion, and an accountant decision, like so common with "old companies" drained of all their innovative people and innovative peoples ideas? == Links == * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Public_consultation_about_Wikinews * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal_for_Closing_Wikinews [[Category:Wikinews]] [[Category:Media]] dtt9c4f96jz9c7r1h1q62xo2al3zuy7 0 3017600 4866501 4866500 2025-06-29T18:49:01Z BigKrow 2871522 4866501 wikitext text/x-wiki {{develop}} {{date|June 29, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Israel}} {{w|US}} President {{w|Donald Trump}} wants to stop the {{w|Gaza}} war as {{w|Israel}} makes northern Gaza evacuations on Sunday. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-orders-evacuations-northern-gaza-trump-calls-war-end-2025-06-29/? |title = Israel orders evacuations in northern Gaza as Trump calls for war to end |author = Nidal Al-Mughrabi |pub = Reuters |date = June 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-news-06-29-2025-f72d5701a985213e12b1ff80d1357670? |title = Trump calls for a ceasefire deal on the war in Gaza as signs of progress emerge |author = TIA GOLDENBERG, SAMY MAGDY and WAFAA SHURAFA |pub = AP News |date = June 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Gaza Strip]] 62zk3bhv7086031ckpu9nchzp2b4o1l 0 3017604 4866848 4866847 2025-07-01T00:25:32Z Heavy Water 2809714 Damn. 4866848 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Culture and entertainment}} {{date|June 30, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Beyoncé_-_Tottenham_Hotspur_Stadium_-_1st_June_2023_(10_of_118)_(52946364598)_(best_crop).jpg|thumb|left|Beyoncé in 2023. {{image source|[https://www.flickr.com/people/69880995@N04 Raph_PH]}}]] On Saturday, American {{w|pop music}} act {{w|Beyoncé}} halted a live performance at {{w|NRG Stadium}} in [[Houston]], [[Texas]] due to a prop malfunction on the first night of a tour.

The incident occurred between 4:50 and 5:00 a.m. in the 1900 block of West Bristol Street, prompting an immediate response from fire and rescue teams following reports of a loud explosion and fire. During search operations, the body of a woman was discovered in the debris, confirming one fatality. Two elderly women sustained injuries—one is in critical condition, while the other is stable. Both have been hospitalized. Authorities have not yet released the identities of those involved. Impact and Emergency Response: The blast and fire resulted in the collapse of three homes and caused significant damage to at least five additional properties. At least ten homes have been declared uninhabitable, and residents from around ten neighboring houses were evacuated to a nearby shelter. Emergency crews, including the Philadelphia Fire Department and utility workers, responded swiftly to the scene. A collapse zone was established due to ongoing safety concerns, and search and rescue efforts are continuing. The Philadelphia Fire Marshal and other city agencies are actively investigating the cause of the explosion. Eyewitness Reports: Residents described being jolted awake by a “big bang,” with homes shaking and doors blown open. The aftermath was chaotic, with emergency personnel working throughout the day to manage the situation. The incident remains under active investigation, with authorities continuing rescue and recovery operations. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-building-collapse-nicetown-tioga/ |title = Philadelphia house explosion kills 1, injures 2 in Nicetown neighborhood Sunday morning |author = |pub = CBS News |date = |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://6abc.com/post/early-morning-fire-explosion-philadelphias-nicetown-section-left-homes-destroyed-people-injured/16878808/ |title = Philadelphia explosion levels homes, leaving 1 dead and 2 injured in Nicetown |author = |pub = WPVI-TV 6ABC |date = |archiveurl = }} [[Category:United States]] 1uv1p3qtjfr77hqepr78ud8e7nza0eo 0 3017612 4866695 4866574 2025-06-30T16:26:37Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Not ready for review.

The storm began forming around 4 PM in {{w|Botucatu}} and evolved into a classic supercell as it moved over rural areas of the city. Storm chasers documented the presence of a mesocyclone, a rotating air column fueling the storm, with strong updrafts. A striking funnel-shaped condensation appeared, but the chasers clarified this was not a tornado funnel cloud but a tail cloud, a low-level cloud feature caused by warm, humid inflow feeding the storm's mesocyclone. Following the event, the city experienced heavy rain and reports of small hail in several urban and rural areas, along with strong winds and significant hail accumulation in the countryside. The {{w|PREVOTS|Reporting Platform and Volunteer Network of Severe Storm Observers}} (PREVOTS) had forecast heightened instability for the region that day, warning that some storms might develop into supercells with hail as a main hazard. Meteorologists noted that the conditions leading to this rare winter supercell were due to the interaction between a cold, dry air mass, which caused temperatures to drop to 0°C (32°F) on June 25, according to the Integrated Center for Agrometeorological Information (CIIAGRO); and a heat front, coupled with moderate wind shear and high availability of warm, humid air, as mentioned by PREVOTS, factors that are uncommon for this time of year.

The area includes the cities of Presidente Prudente - SP, Bauru - SP, Capão Bonito - SP, Araçatuba - SP, Campinas - SP, São Paulo - SP.

'''Discussion:''' A longwave trough with positive tilt is located over Chile, while a strong jet streak of the Upper-Level Jet Stream (ULJ) at 300 hPa extends over the southeastern region of South America. At 500 hPa, a similar flow pattern is observed, with a weak baroclinic disturbance of small amplitude propagating over Paraná and Santa Catarina during the second half of Friday, promoting some differential cyclonic vorticity advection and upper-level cooling. However, weak flow at 850 hPa should be noted despite the relatively warm and moist air, with potential temperature Θe > 330 K. At the surface, a cold front moves away from the São Paulo coast, while its tail over the continent remains stationary until early Saturday. From this point, the trough is expected to intensify as it traverses the Andes, with multiple baroclinic disturbances of small amplitude propagating over southeastern South America. These disturbances also promote increased broad-scale lift due to differential negative vorticity advection. This should be observed in the lower troposphere with a cold front initially located between Paraguay and Paraná, advancing southeastward from higher latitudes in the form of a trough at 850 hPa. This warm sector front will be accompanied by intense flow (>20 m/s) at 850 hPa. At the surface, the front is expected to advance toward northeastern Argentina and northern Rio Grande do Sul, reaching as far as northern Rio Grande do Sul along the warm sector. Localized thunderstorms, some severe, are expected over São Paulo during the second half of Friday, and over southern Brazil during the first half of Saturday. '''Forecast for São Paulo (Level 1 – second half of Friday):''' Towers of cumulus and cumulus congestus clouds are observed throughout this sector, where breaks in cloud cover have raised temperatures to 23–27 °C, while dew points remain above 20 °C. This, combined with 0–3 km lapse rates above 6.5 °C/km, should result in modest conditional instability, with MLCAPEs from 500 to 1000 J/kg and little to no MLCIN. These storms, however, will have low tops (<9 km) in a wind shear environment with moderate effective-layer shear (>15 m/s). Some discrete cells may persist in this environment and acquire supercellular structures. However, due to the unidirectional shear profile and weak low-level shear, hail is expected to be the main hazard, followed by strong surface winds, through the end of Friday. '''Southern Paraná, Western, Northern Plateau and Southern Plateau of Santa Catarina, Northwestern Rio Grande do Sul (Level 1 – first half of Saturday):''' Severe risk is expected to begin during the night period under strong warm advection, regardless of surface heating. MUCAPEs of 250 to 750 J/kg should support elevated convection, which should combine with intense wind shear, characterized by 0–1 km curved hodographs and 1–6 km elongation. Effective shear will exceed 20 m/s, which should sustain dynamic pressure perturbations associated with ascending mesoscale currents. The main risk is also hail formation, which may be large-sized (>4 cm), along with strong winds.

I agree to release my answers under the creative commons attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Please briefly introduce yourself. If you desire, please take a photo and send it to me with a note that it is released under the same creative commons licence and it was not published elsewhere under another licence. I’m Drew Wolfendale, and I’m running for the Senate with the Fusion Party Australia Coalition because I would like to see us move towards a better form of representational government, as a necessary step towards building a government capable of handling the challenges of the future. I am an Adelaide local from the northern suburbs, born and raised. I completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Mining at Adelaide University, and later pursued postgraduate studies in finance and economics at Adelaide University and at Göteborg Handelshögskolan (The Gothenburg School of Economics) in Sweden. Other than my more recent role as President of the party, I have worked principally with the railway industry with a focus on problem identification and solution building within complex systems, within the strategic asset management planning field where I continue to work and ultimately in a data systems integration advisory role. I am also a Director at Humanists Australia. When did you join the party? What motivated your decision? I joined the precursor Science Party in 2017 for its focus on evidence-based policy, after previously organising with some friends to develop evidence-based policy. What is your contribution to the party? I led the development of the value framework which ultimately underpinned the formation of Fusion. Were (you/members of your party) successfully elected previously? What have (you/your party) contributed to the government while you were in (Senate/etc)? No What are your key points for the upcoming election? What would you aim to achieve?(Even if your party is not participating in this election, we would still welcome your perspective.) Personally my key points are Tax Reform and Electoral Reform What are your key allies this election? What parties are your key enemies in this election? What are their key points and what do you think they are doing wrong about them?What is your opinion on 'polarization' of the political scene in the country?How would you suggest an average citizen to improve their political and/or economical literacy? How would you suggest an average citizen to improve the performance of Australia in economical, scientific or political areas? Recognise that serious change is needed to maintain our current high standard of living - and look for people who are tackling it as a serious problem, not selling "easy" solutions. What is your position on climate change? I fully endorse the goals of the Climate Rescue Accord What is your position on environmental pollution? We need to manage it, and we need to shift our focus to regeneration and restoration rather than prevention. What do you think about public vs private schools? Private schools play an important role in Australian society for a range of historical reasons, and changing that is a battle with more harm than good - but I firmly believe that the funding arrangements are unfairly favourable to private schools, and the government funding should be focused on public schools far more than it currently is. What can an average citizen do to improve the environment in regards to climate change or environmental pollution? Vote Better. dfh Li, [6/25/2025 10:26 PM] What is your position about energy transition? Do you support such new forms of energy sources as nuclear power plants, solar or wind farms, hydro? What is your position on development of energy storage technologies? I support all forms of low-carbon energy, including nuclear, though I don't see there being a large need for it in Australia (targeting perhaps 5% of the national energy supply would be more than reasonable). I am excited by the current progress being made on clean fusion energy, which would make most other forms of energy obsolete. For energy storage, I think it's vitally important to have distributed energy storage on our grid, and I would like to see substantial government investment in the much more sustainable sodium-ion battery technology that's beginning to take off. How would you suggest supporting small businesses? Small businesses benefit best in a society that minimises barriers to both economic involvement, and political representation. (I discuss the Mechanics of Prosperity on my site.) The best support for small business is a healthy society, a competitive market, and a tax regime that discourages monopolisation. How would you suggest supporting education institutions such as public schools and universities? How would you suggest solving the issue with affordability of housing? We must restructure our housing market to prevent speculation. The focus of the housing market should be for people to live in them. Profiteering off housing without directly improving the quality or supply of housing should be made impossible. What is your position about the 'made in Australia' campaign and/or tariffs? The made in australia campaign is an excellent campaign for providing consumers with informed choices. The potential harms and benefits of tariffs need to be considered far more seriously than they have been in recent geopolitical events. Anything else you would like to add? Australia has had it too good for too long, and has relied for too long on our ahead-of-their-time political institutions as a defence to the troubles of other countries. Our institutions are no longer up to the task, and we will learn this the hard way if we don't take serious consideration of the challenges before us. Best Regards.

Two firefighters died as a result. Another firefighter was wounded and hospitalized and was "fighting for his life," but was otherwise said to be in stable condition. The firefighters called for backup, and a shootout ensued. The attacker had mounted himself in a sniper position. The FBI came and attempted to track the attacker's cell phone. The shootout lasted for hours. A shelter-in-place order was enacted. The attacker was armed with what was described as a "sporting rifle" by the BBC. {{w|Kootenai County}} Sheriff, Bob Norris stated his belief that the attacker was the one who had started the fire as well. The shooter, who was identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley, was found dead from a gunshot wound in the mountains by a SWAT team. He was found with his rifle in his possession. It was not immediately clear whether his death was a suicide, or if he had been shot by officers. Norris later said that Roley had indeed died from a suicide. It was later said by Norris that Roley "idolized" firefighters, and had wanted to become one. His grandfather said: "He loved firefighters. It didn't make sense that he was shooting firefighters. Maybe he got rejected or something." Roley was homeless. The attacker's motive was not immediately stated by authorities. They had began the process of removing the dead body from the crime scene for investigation. According to Norris, the crime scene had been "compromised" by the fire. Idaho governor {{w|Brad Little}} said in a statement: "All our public safety officers, especially our firefighters, bravely confront danger on a daily basis but we have never seen a heinous act of violence like this on our firefighters before. This is not Idaho.

The 23-year-old midfielder is known for his versatile playing style and on-field intelligence. Early Life and Mohun Bagan Academy Days Born on December 25, 2001, Nadim's football journey began with the youth teams (U-15 to U-17) of Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of India's most historic clubs. From 2014 to 2017, he honed his footballing skills within Mohun Bagan's youth setup. During this period, his talent was recognized, and he began preparing himself for the future. =='''ISL and Other League Experiences'''== In 2018, Mahroos Nadim tried out for Pune City FC's U-17 team as part of the Indian Super League (ISL) Academy. He then joined Albert Sporting Club, playing in the Pune Youth League during the 2019-2020 season.
