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.

According to CNN, the blasts targeted [[Hezbollah]], a Lebanese {{W|Shia Islam|Shia}} {{w|Islamist}} political party and paramilitary group. The cause of the explosions was still under investigation. Early evidence suggested the pager explosions were triggered by explosives planted in the pagers, or faulty batteries, [[Reuters]] reported. The following day, walkie-talkies, laptops, and radios also exploded, killing 20 people and injuring 450. [[File:CCTV_video_of_pager_explosion_in_a_Beirut_market.webm|thumb|left|{{W|CCTV}} footage of a pager explosion in Beirut.{{image source|Unknown; upload by [[User:Sdkb|Sdkb]]}}]] Representatives from consulting firms Predicta Lab and {{W|Le Beck International|Le Beck}} told [[CNN]] that hardware tampering was likely involved in the pager explosions. They ruled out cyber attack as a possible cause. 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. 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. The pagers were a brand owned by a [[Taiwan]]ese company called {{W|Gold Apollo}}. On Wednesday, Gold Apollo released a statement saying the {{W|Gold Apollo AR924|AR-924}} pagers were manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT, a company based in the capital of [[Hungary]]. 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. {{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. Lebanon's {{w|Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants (Lebanon)|foreign ministry}} called the incident an "Israeli cyberattack", according to Reuters. [[Israel]] did not take responsibility. The incidents came amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah following the {{W|Israel-Hamas War}} which had began in 2023. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|2024 Lebanon pager explosions}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2024/09/20/hezbollah-israel-pager-explosion-lebanon/|title=Hezbollah got suspicious, Israel pushed the button: Why pagers exploded in Lebanon at 3.30pm on Tuesday|author=Mohamad Ali Harisi|pub=The National (Abu Dhabi)|date=September 20, 2024}} * {{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0e1wpr0q44o|title=Hezbollah device explosions: The unanswered questions|author=Tom Bennett|pub=BBC News Online|date=September 19, 2024}} *{{source|url=https://apnews.com/article/lebanon-israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah-syria-ce6af3c2e6de0a0dddfae48634278288|title=Lebanon is rocked again by exploding devices as Israel declares a 'new phase' of war|author= Johnson Lai, Bassem Mroue|pub=AP News|date=September 19, 2024}} *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cew12r5qe1ro |title=What we know about firm linked to Lebanon pagers |pub=BBC News Online |date=September 19, 2024}} *{{source |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/taiwan-firm-denies-making-pagers-used-lebanon-explosions-rcna171594 |title=Who made the exploding pagers?

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.

The man, identified as 58-year-old {{w|Ryan Wesley Routh}}, is accused of attempting to assassinate the president on September 15 at {{W|Trump International Golf Club (West Palm Beach, Florida)|Trump International Golf Club}} in {{W|West Palm Beach}}, [[Florida]], [[United States]], where Trump had been playing golf. Routh now faces three additional charges: attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate, possessing a firearm to carry out a violent crime, and assaulting a federal officer, in addition to two federal charges of criminal possession of a firearm. If convicted, Routh potentially faces life in prison. [[File:President_Trump_at_the_Trump_International_Golf_Club_(47625294312).jpg|thumb|left|Trump International Golf Club in April 2019.

On Monday, prosecutors revealed details of their investigation that indicate "probable cause to support additional charges." Prosecutors also indicated a note Routh had written about his plans to kill Trump will be used as additional evidence. On the day of the attack, Routh is believed to have arrived at the golf course at 1:59 a.m. local time (0559 UTC), then staked out for twelve hours for Trump to appear, according to CNN. Routh had previously been arrested and convicted in 2002 for possession of a machine gun. According to NBC News, there were no records of him being incarcerated as a result. Attorney General {{w|Merrick Garland}} said of the act, "[v]iolence targeting public officials endangers everything our country stands for, and the Department of Justice will use every available tool to hold Ryan Routh accountable." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ryan-routh-arrested-trumps-florida-golf-course-charged-attempted-assas-rcna172571 |title = Ryan Routh, arrested near Trump's Florida golf course, is charged with attempted assassination |author = Michael Kosnar, Daniel Barnes, Dareh Gregorian |pub = NBC News |date = September 24, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/US/federal-prosecutors-charge-ryan-routh-attempted-assassination-donald/story?id=114047591 |title = Federal prosecutors charge Ryan Routh with attempted assassination of Donald Trump |author = Alexander Mallin |pub = ABC News (United States) |date = September 24, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/17/politics/inside-apparent-assassination-attempt-trump/index.html |title = Inside the fateful 12 hours of an apparent assassination attempt outside the Trump International Golf Club |author = Jeremy Herb |pub = CNN |date = September 17, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ryan-routh-custody-trump-golf-club-incident-rcna171225 |title = Man in custody after Trump golf club incident was once convicted of possessing a machine gun |author = Dennis Romero, Tom Winter, Chloe Atkins |pub = NBC News |date = September 16, 2024 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:2024 United States presidential election]] [[Category:Golf]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Florida]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Sports]] {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} qwu7jze81gf4cvfnw0vymfasl4u5xte 0 3001528 4806433 4799243 2024-11-29T11:04:12Z Neriah bot 2856370 Bot: Fixing double redirect from [[Attempted assassin of former US President Donald Trump to be formally charged for attack]] to [[Prosecutors charge man with attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump]] 4806433 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Prosecutors charge man with attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump]] shdiqg3i90v2m538vaixwxcqsn9uqis 0 3001552 4853216 4853215 2025-04-28T13:18:11Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau survives a no confidence vote]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853215 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|September 27, 2024}} [[File:Prime Minister Trudeau's message on Christmas 2023 (0m29s) (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Justin Trudeau pictured in 2023. {{image|[[c:User:PascalHD|PascalHD]]}}]] On Wednesday, the prime minister of [[Canada]], [[Justin Trudeau]], survived a {{W|vote of no confidence}}.

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.

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.

'''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.

The extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|enabled]] on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. [[w:zh:Wikipedia:互助客栈/其他#引進CampaignEvents擴充功能|Chinese Wikipedia has decided]] to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress [[w:es:Wikipedia:Votaciones/2024/Sobre la política de Organizadores de Eventos|on Spanish Wikipedia]] and [[d:Wikidata:Project chat#Enabling the CampaignEvents Extention on Wikidata|on Wikidata]].

'''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.

So if I were the author, I'd make sure the exhibition is the focal event for future articles, which was what was done on the latest article pending review.

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]].

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. ==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. '''AI/LLM use disclosure''': Contributors are encouraged to note any use of AI/LLM tools on the talk or collaboration page to support transparency, especially in the case of using an LLM model to generate the initial draft. ==AI-generated images== AI-generated images may be used in articles if they are clearly identified as such and not presented as photographs of real events. Like stock or file photos, they should serve an illustrative or conceptual role, especially when no original media is available. Image descriptions must indicate that the image is AI-generated, and the uploader must be credited so readers can verify its source or explore further. Any use that could mislead or imply false visual evidence is strictly prohibited. ==See also== * [[Wikinews:Code of Ethics]] * [[Wikinews:PILLARS]] 5porx5pztvuwnwl2b229kzej428rza9 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.

Any URL used with this template must still be listed in the Sources section, as required by [[WN:Source]]. When possible, include attribution directly in the article text (e.g., "according to AP"), which is always preferred and strongly recommended. 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.

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.

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=

Archiving 1 thread from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals]] 4807175 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == usertopics == I would like to go over last year and tag users' key topics (article categories). If I know username I can see their deleted contributions. But I don't know usernames - can I view RecentDeletedChanges somewhere? 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. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:18, 3 September 2024 (UTC) == banner with note of drafts == I'm proposing to Option 1: create {{tl|ArticlesInNeedOfHelp}} template with the following contents: :It is 21:10, 7 September 2024 (UTC) now. 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'''. (and good to expose journalism related events at Wikinews) * There was a few days delay with initial report * Further delay with splitting into two stories, about Wikimedia Foundation actions and about HKJA announcement. * Then about HKJA announcement which was considered a less controversial (wrt relevance) story to review, there were no clarify of whether npov was met. 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. More to be written here in a bit. @[[User:Kitabc12345|Kitabc12345]] @[[User:Cypp0847|Cypp0847]] [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 01:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC) :Hi @[[User:Kitabc12345|Kitabc12345]] & @[[User:Cypp0847|Cypp0847]] :I have re-read the article now trying to answer my question above. :* Lack of precision of numbers. "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. There are limited follow-up discussions ongoing partly because, in my opinion, the political situation in the city. ::Thanks Gryllida again for the comments, and Kit for the contributions on this report.

Voters in eleven states also elected new governors, and 44 states held elections for their state legislatures. {{haveyoursay}} {{clear}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/10/trump-wins-arizona-completing-sweep-of-all-seven-battleground-states-ap-reports |title = Trump wins Arizona to clinch sweep of seven battleground states |author = Amy Sedghi |pub = The Guardian |date = November 10, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/election-day-trump-harris-white-house-83c8e246ab97f5b97be45cdc156af4e2 |title = Trump wins the White House in a political comeback rooted in appeals to frustrated voters |author = Zeke Miller, Michelle L.

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.

The warrants accuse the three of {{w|war crimes}} and {{w|crimes against humanity}} during the 2023-2024 {{w|Israel–Hamas war}}. <!--The ICC's actions have drawn sharp reactions from {{w|Israel}}, {{w|Hamas}}, and the international community. [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. Previous warrants have effectively limited the international movement of those involved, as member states are obligated to enforce these legal orders within their jurisdiction. <gallery mode="packed" heights="200" style="margin:auto"> Benjamin Netanyahu, February 2023.jpg|Israeli Prime Minister {{w|Benjamin Netanyahu}} is wanted by the {{w|International Criminal Court}}. {{image|[[c:User:Avi Ohayon|Avi Ohayon]]}} Yoav Galant 1.jpg|Former Israeli Defense Minister {{w|Yoav Gallant}} is wanted by the {{w|International Criminal Court}}. {{image|[[c:User:Avi Ohayon|Avi Ohayon]]}} Placeholder Person with black tie.jpg|Hamas military leader {{w|Mohammed Deif}} is wanted by the {{w|International Criminal Court}}. {{image|[[c:User:Peppypo|Peppypo]]}} </gallery> {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/icc-issues-arrest-warrants-israels-netanyahu-gallant-hamas-leader-2024-11-21/ |title = ICC issues arrest warrants for Israel's Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas leader |author = Stephanie van den Berg, Nidal Al-Mughrabi |pub = Reuters |date = November 22, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/icc-israel-hamas-warrants-netanyahu-palestinian-arrest-73c854d072e0a1a41b19b2cb2cdd07fa |title = Top war-crimes court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others in Israel-Hamas fighting |author = Molly Quell |pub = Associate Press |date = November 22, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2exvx944o |title = Arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas commander over alleged war crimes |author = David Gritten |pub = BBC |date = November 22, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/11/21/world-reacts-to-icc-arrest-warrants-for-israels-netanyahu-gallant |title = World reacts to ICC arrest warrants for Israel’s Netanyahu, Gallant |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = November 22, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/21/middleeast/international-criminal-court-issues-arrest-warrant-for-israeli-prime-minister-intl/index.html |title = International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu |author = Abbas Al Lawati, Nadeen Ebrahim, Dana Karni, Tim Lister |pub = CNN |date = November 22, 2024 |archiveurl = }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:International Criminal Court]] [[Category:War crimes]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Palestine]] [[Category:Benjamin Netanyahu]] [[Category:Yoav Gallant]] [[Category:Mohammed Deif]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] 53o9vevw3adbc81pzlcrlr01xtp9p3g 0 3004133 4806539 4805709 2024-11-29T16:22:54Z ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ 2851426 fixing double redirect 4806539 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Deif over alleged war crimes in Israel-Hamas war]] 3yxlbpt9hc7w74tv5g7rxfi8s8h916q 0 3004254 4853263 4853262 2025-04-28T13:21:48Z Gryllida 160590 Changed protection settings for "[[Israel-Lebanon ceasefire faces several violations]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853262 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Israel}} {{Lebanon}} {{date|December 6, 2024}} On Monday, December 2, Israel launched its largest wave of airstrikes across Lebanon since a ceasefire came into effect. 11 civilians were killed in the airstrikes. The strikes were launched by Israel in response to the firing of projectiles against Israeli forces by Hezbollah. 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.

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}}.

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:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 18:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC) :Thanks and when would I need to use this? [[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.

We currently utilize Flagged Revisions to control/protect published 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." Mangione was originally from [[Maryland]].

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/}} {{Published}} {{Archived}} [[Category:New York]] [[Category:New York, New York]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] [[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] fh6mqt6ihkymjbep0s7eg0wmgxqepeg 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}}. Both sides have until Friday to reply to the other's brief. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news== *{{wikinews|Court ruling upholds TikTok ban unless ByteDance sells stake|December 7, 2024}} *{{wikinews|Trump wins 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, securing 312 electoral votes and all swing states|November 12, 2024}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|Donald Trump–TikTok controversy}} {{sisters|w|Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act}} {{sisters|w|TikTok v.

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 4891047 4890204 2025-10-23T03:01:54Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 2 threads from [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts]] 4891047 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.

Earwig's percent similarity should also not be taken as an absolute. Human judgement is still required. Things such as article titles in our Sources section can increase similarity, but are not an example of [[Wikinews:Plagiarism|Plagiarism]] and therefore not something to worry about or address. I have added some screenshots to [[Help:Earwig's copyvio detector]] to help clarify how to use the tool. Bottom line; I would recommend focussing more on writing articles in your own language.

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. He said, "we will take appropriate action if necessary [...] There will be a review of what happened here tonight." American Airlines CEO {{w|Robert Isom}} gave his condolences in a video that appeared on the company's website. The most recent similar event in the US involved {{w|Colgan Air Flight 3407}} in 2009. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|2025 Potomac River mid-air collision}} {{sisters|q|2025 Potomac River mid-air collision}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/plane-crash-dca-potomac-washington-dc-01-29-25/index.html |title = American Airlines jet collides with Army Black Hawk near Reagan Airport |author = |pub = CNN |date = January 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://wtop.com/arlington/2025/01/small-aircraft-crashes-into-potomac-river-near-reagan-national-airport/ |title = Ground stop in effect at Reagan National Airport after commercial jet crashes into Potomac River |author = Ciara Wells |pub = WTOP-FM |date = January 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/live-updates-american-airlines-flight-crashes-into-potomac-river-near-reagan-national/3829292/ |title = Search underway after plane, helicopter crash into Potomac River near Reagan National |author = |pub = NBC4 Washington |date = January 29, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g9kdgzj91o |title = What we know so far about Washington DC plane crash |author = |pub = BBC News Online |date = January 30, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/30/how-did-washington-dc-plane-crash-unfold-a-visual-guide |title = How did Washington DC plane crash unfold?

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 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.

The bridge was opened amid delays after construction was finished. The bridge is 1.4&nbsp;km long and connects {{w|Maradhoo}} and Gaukedi. The Hankede Bridge was officially inaugurated on August 11, 2024, during a ceremony attended by [[India]]'s Minister of External Affairs, Dr. {{w|S. Jaishankar|Subrahmanyam Jaishankar}}, as part of his visit to Addu City. The government initially announced the bridge's opening in July, but it was later postponed to September. Addu City Mayor Ali Nizar urged the {{w|Ministry of Construction, Housing, and Infrastructure}} in a [[Facebook]] post to take responsibility and open the bridge. 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. The construction of the bridge faced controversy. The Ministry of Infrastructure seized {{w|sand}} intended for the project, which Addu City Mayor Ali Nizar criticized as "uncivilized" and "illegal," according to {{w|Mendhuru TV}}. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://avas.mv/en/147514 |title = Hankede Bridge opens to public amid delays and concerns |author = |pub = Avas |date = February 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://edition.mv/news/39185 |title = Addu Hankede Bridge now open to the public |author = Mariyath Mohamed |pub = The Edition |date = February 1, 2025 |archiveurl = |brokenURL = true }} *{{source |url = https://ras.mv/en/post/10213 |title = Hankede Bridge completed; No reason for delay in opening: Addu City Mayor |author = Masha Midhath |pub = Ras |date = January 27, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://mendhuru.tv/en/3281 |title = Addu City Mayor Criticizes Infrastructure Ministry's Seizure of Sand for Hankede Bridge Project |author = Mariyam Milzam Masood |pub = Mendhuru |date = November 30, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://edition.mv/hash_oil/35260 |title = Addu land reclamation, Hankede Bridge complete, handed over |author = Malika Shahid |pub = The Edition |date = August 11, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250201092417/https://edition.mv/hash_oil/35260 |brokenURL = true }} *{{source |url = https://avas.mv/en/142907 |title = Hankede Bridge opening postponed to September |author = |pub = Avas |date = August 4, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://edition.mv/news/34247 |title = Preparations underway to open Hankede bridge for public use in July |author = Aishath Shuba Solih |pub = The Edition |date = June 26, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250201092417/https://edition.mv/news/34247 |brokenURL = true }} {{Archived}} [[Category:Maldives]] [[Category:Roads]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Transport]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Economy and business]] [[Category:India]] [[Category:Indian Ocean]] [[Category:Archived-bot]] {{Published}} 8ik0bdoraqkc4bbvalotozxtlmita27 10 3007942 4846088 4837477 2025-03-29T22:38:17Z TG-article 2887904 +{{documentation subpage}} 4846088 wikitext text/x-wiki {{documentation subpage}} This template is deprecated and no longer used.

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 ==

Standard Wikinews conventions dictate that articles move through draft and maintenance stages before publication. Typical sequences include {{tl|develop}} → {{tl|review}} → {{tl|tasks}} (if needed) → {{tl|published}}, or {{tl|stale}} / {{tl|abandoned}} / {{tl|delete}} if not progressing.

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.

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?

From left to right: Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne. {{image source|Warner Bros. 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.

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) See also: [[Module:ConvertTime]] 582cmhhn1st2jn56i67309v6jrfdc2m 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. Accepted in both 12-hour (e.g., <code>1:45 p.m.</code>) and 24-hour (e.g., <code>13:45</code>) formats. * <code>timezone</code> — The timezone abbreviation (e.g., <code>CDT</code>, <code>AEST</code>) or a UTC offset (e.g., <code>UTC+3</code>). == Timezone Support == The module includes a lookup table for 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 a timezone is not recognized, the module will suggest using the UTC offset instead (e.g., <code>UTC+3</code>). == Error Handling == * If an invalid timezone is provided, a red warning message will appear: <code><nowiki>Warning: Unrecognized timezone 'XYZ'.

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.

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.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/05|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? 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). Existing keys are unaffected.

'''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>. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February.

Given our lack of active reviewers, one active admin who is also a reviewer is one person spread too thin. We are desperate for more active reviewers as well as active admin.

The oldest of those corrections is two weeks old.

'''Why are we outreaching to you?''' Wikimedia has 18 projects, and 17 that are solely run by the community, other than the Wikimedia Foundation. We want to hear from sister projects that some of us in the movement are not too familiar with and would like to know more about. We always want to hear from Wikipedia, but we also want to meet and hear from the community members in other sister projects too. We would like to hear your story and learn about the work you and your community do. You can review our past learning clinics [[metawiki:Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect/Calendar|here]]. We want to invite community members who are: * Part of an organized group, official or not * A formally recognized affiliate or not * An individual who will bring their knowledge back to their community * An individual who wants to train others in their community on the learnings they received from the learning clinics. '''To participate as a sharer and become a member of the Let’s Connect community you can sign up through this [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdiea87tSYmB2-1XHn_u8RLe7efMJifJBzffIM-6rtpx0PWqw/viewform registration form].'''

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 !!

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.

Officers arrived at the scene and confronted the gunman as he attempted to leave with a hostage, opening fire.

A hospital staff member was also hurt while attempting to flee. Authorities reported the gunman was armed with a pistol and zip ties.

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.

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.

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 |- !

Speaking before the {{w|Senate Armed Services Committee}} in [[Washington, D.C.]], Phelan emphasized the need for significant reforms to improve fleet readiness, tackle cost overruns, and enhance living conditions for sailors. 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."

A White House official said "[t]he President has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. ... We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution." Ukrainian Prime Minister {{w|Denys Shmyhal}} said that Ukraine could continue fighting the Russians in the short term. Polish President [[Donald Tusk]] stated that U.S. military aid had indeed been halted, referencing reports from the Polish border.

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.

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 |- !

India's chase started with captain {{W|Rohit Sharma}} scoring a quick half-century, including several boundaries and three sixes. However, a sudden collapse saw India lose three wickets for just 17 runs, including Shubman Gill's 31 and {{W|Virat Kohli}}'s 1. Shreyas Iyer's 48 and Axar Patel's 29 helped stabilize the innings. KL Rahul's unbeaten knock guided India to the target of 252 with seven balls to spare, securing a 4-wicket victory. 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.

From seeing different races, ethnic and professionals of all background emerging for the event to seeing young children from South Africa kicking the ball around their neighborhood with a renewed hope that they also could become a professional one day. ksn4q3bc1dm78zn23ce8yb5raivc9xw 0 3010612 4853184 4853183 2025-04-28T13:16:14Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Mark Carney sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853183 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 19, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Mark Carney.jpg|thumb|left|File photo of Mark Carney speaking at a Policy Exchange event as the Governor of Bank of England in 2015.{{image|{{w|Policy Exchange}}}}]] {{Politics and conflicts}} On Friday, {{w|Mark Carney}} was sworn in as Prime Minister of [[Canada]].

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}}.

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 4880304 4865475 2025-09-24T01:11:47Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Changed protection settings for "[[New York county clerk says Texas cannot fine abortion doctor]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 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.

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. The decision was described as "unprecedented" by Wesley Yin-Poole of ''{{w|IGN}}''. {{Have your say}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url =

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.

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]].

'''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.

Issuing of such a high-level weather alert for Beijing last happened over a decade ago. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.cma.gov.cn/2011xwzx/2011xqxxw/2011xzytq/202504/t20250413_6995571.html |title = 内蒙古华北黄淮等地仍有大风 东北地区内蒙古东部有雨雪 |author = |pub = Chinese Meteorological News Agency |date = April 13, 2025 |archiveurl = |lang = zh }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqrggg8424o |title = Millions told to stay indoors as China braces for strong winds |author = Koh Ewe |pub = BBC |date = April 11, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cma.gov.cn/wmhd/2011wzbft/2011wftzb/202504/t20250410_6989546.html |title = 专家解读丨较强冷空气将影响中东部地区 大风雨雪强对流沙尘齐上阵 |author = |pub = Chinese Meteorological News Agency |date = April 10, 2025 |archiveurl = |lang = zh }} *{{source |url = https://www.cma.gov.cn/ztbd/2025zt/tqzt/index.html |title = Deployment linkage |author = |pub = Chinese Meteorological Administration |date = April 10, 2025 |archiveurl = |lang = zh }} [[Category:China]] [[Category:Weather]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 7te6rptwkddy9ad3mpx23vktsu4uj1d 0 3012307 4853277 4853276 2025-04-28T13:23:07Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[US pastor abducted after being forced into own vehicle at gunpoint during raid of religious sermon in South Africa]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853276 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|April 13, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> On Thursday evening, American pastor Josh Sullivan, 45, was kidnapped in {{w|Motherwell}}, {{w|Gqeberra}}, {{w|South Africa}} by four armed attackers that raided a prayer service he was leading at the local Fellowship Baptist Church. Jeremy Hall, a spokesperson for Sullivan's family, witnessed the kidnapping. According to him, the kidnappers knew him by name. He told the ''Associated Free Press'' that he believed the kidnapping was related to money. Police stated that two cell phones were also taken in the kidnappings. The attackers escaped with Sullivan captive in his own {{w|Toyota Fortuner}} after forcing him into the vehicle at gunpoint. Authorities later found the vehicle abandoned approximately one mile from the abduction site, though Sullivan's whereabouts remained unknown. The {{w|US State Department}} stated that they were aware of the situation. Police Captain Andre Beetge told the ''BBC'' that the {{w|Hawks (South Africa)|Hawks}}, the elite police unit of South Africa specializing in {{w|organized crime}}, had been brought to the fore of the investigation. A colleague of Sullivan's said the kidnapping was one of ransom, though no ransom had yet been posted. According to ''{{w|WVLT}}'', the {{w|FBI}} and {{w|US Embassy}} were in the process of securing negotiations, and Sullivan's family was provided with proof that he was still alive. Sullivan's father-in-law described it as a "really tense situation." The sermon was in attendance by approximately 30 people. Attendees included his wife and six children, with whom he had traveled to South Africa in 2018 from Tennessee. South Africa has seen an increase in similar kidnappings in recent years, as well as an increase in gun violence. A Chinese national was kidnapped from the area only days prior. {{Have your say}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{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:United States]] [[Category:Africa]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Religion]] [[Category:Religious leaders]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] ncatzzpy3hej3vvp5vtgdncjpewrx8r 0 3012309 4853303 4853302 2025-04-28T13:25:09Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[US Health Secretary vows to determine cause of autism by September]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853302 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|April 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Health}} U.S. Department Health and Human Services Secretary, {{W|Robert F. 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]].

According to the provisions of the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to enrich {{w|uranium}} only up to 3.67% purity for the next 15 years. On January 5, 2020, Iran declared that it would no longer abide by the deal's limitations but would continue to coordinate with {{w|International Atomic Energy Agency}} (IAEA). In February 2025, the IAEA nuclear watchdog reported that Iran had [numbers approximated in {{w|tonne}} units, instead of original {{w|kg}} units, for readability] around 3t of uranium enriched up to 2% U-235 (+0.7 t since the previous quarterly report), over 3t of uranium enriched up to 5% U-235 (+1t), over 0.5t of uranium enriched up to 20% U-235 (–0.2t); and ~0.25t of uranium enriched up to 60% U-235 (+92.5 kg). Hours before the talks were due to begin, Trump told reporters on board {{w|Air Force One}} that he wants Iran “to be a wonderful, great, happy country. But they can’t have a {{w|nuclear weapon}}.” Witkoff had emphasised that he had instructions to resolve the "differences through dialogue and diplomacy, if that is possible". Before the discussions started, Araghchi had said that his country would like a "fair agreement". {{w|Iranian President}} {{w|Masoud Pezeshkian}} said his country is not seeking war, nor a nuclear bomb. Representatives of both countries, noting that the negotiations were "constructive", stated that they will continue in a meeting next week, April 19.

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."

Pocatello Police Chief Roger Schei argued that the video only shows one angle, and that "the full picture requires careful review of all facts and evidence." == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/idaho-shooting-teen-police-autism-c782c70c8738fca0a3cc032941a6f2ce |title = Intellectually disabled teen shot by Idaho police dies after being removed from life support |pub = AP News |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/idaho-autistic-teen-victor-perez-declared-brain-dead-police-shooting-family/ |title = Idaho autistic teen has died after police shooting, family says |pub = CBS News |date = April 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Autism]] [[Category:Health]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Idaho]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] ajb8uhrbee9362sy6x2fae7ysv1l8q5 102 3012392 4849180 2025-04-13T09:15:33Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4849180 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3012395 4849199 2025-04-13T10:50:24Z Gryllida 160590 Gryllida moved page [[Siemens executive Agustin Escobar killed along with wife and three children following helicopter crash into Hudson River in New York]] to [[Sightseeing helicopter crash in New York City kills six, including Siemens Mobility executive Agustin Escobar and his family]]: minor edit - clarified (so as not to omit pilot death) 4849199 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Sightseeing helicopter crash in New York City kills six, including Siemens Mobility executive Agustin Escobar and his family]] 7j8p90tt73enmr8k898ynio2v6ryvin 102 3012398 4849205 2025-04-13T10:53:38Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4849205 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3012409 4878301 4862340 2025-09-12T14:38:23Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Address remaining phrases identified in talk. 4878301 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|April 15, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Disasters and accidents}} {{correction|date=May 15, 2025|explanation=Regrettably, several sentences previously published in paragraphs two and four were a copyright violation.

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 touched down 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 primary flight control stick 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. According to the report, 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]] sjwv0y0wvqv0rpq8x627l0qx9cqey1i 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.

According to {{w|Blue Origin}}, they were the first all-female space crew in over six decades, with the previous one being cosmonaut {{w|Valentina Tereshkova}}'s {{w|Vostok 6}} {{w|solo}} two days long mission in 1965. 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.

See [[:m:Meta:Babel/Archives/2023-06#Aftermath_of_ToU_updates]]. Wikinews use the license CC BY 2.5. So it does not have the SA part and it is an older version. I would like to ask why Wikinews does not follow WMF and most other wiki projects. Is there a good reason or is it simply because noone thought about updating the license? Unless there is a good reason I suggest to update the license to follow WMF. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 16:05, 9 November 2023 (UTC) :The goal was that Wikinews would be easy to share.

Consequently, we are unable to replicate their textual content under the newer CC-BY-4.0 license on our older CC-BY-2.5 website. Therefore, I am recommended to upgrade our license to the CC-BY-4.0 version. I agree to support the simultaneous upgrade to CC-BY-4.0 for other language versions, including the Chinese community.

What do you mean by 'assimilate?' :::::::::Wikipedia already performs a form of news service. Case in point: [[wikipedia:2024_Kansas_City_parade_shooting|2024 Kansas City Parade Shooting]]. 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.

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.

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.

But as info I can tell that someone said on Meta that it was a shame that the discussion were not at Meta before English Wikinews changed the license. Because now the only option is to follow English Wikinews. It was stated that it would have been good if all the Wikinews community could have discussed if BY or BY-SA was best before the license was changed. I do not plan to restart the discussion now but I said that perhaps when there is a version 5.0 it could be discussed on Meta what to do. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|talk]]) 12:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC) rvz1n7im8ktbs2cjtnapw4dfaab1tmk 102 3012563 4849819 2025-04-15T09:49:28Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4849819 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3012567 4849868 2025-04-15T11:53:50Z Wikiwide 115576 Wikiwide moved page [[Helicopter crash in South Africa blamed on 'unsecured' penguin]] to [[South African Civil Aviation Authority attributes helicopter crash to 'unsecured' penguin in the cabin]]: Passive voice 4849868 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[South African Civil Aviation Authority attributes helicopter crash to 'unsecured' penguin in the cabin]] 6na11z5mv845wj0vx7dinsae4azloj0 0 3012573 4873446 4862742 2025-08-11T13:16:46Z VinderV 2895805 unordinalize date number 4873446 wikitext text/x-wiki {{correction|date=May 13, 2025|explanation=The last two paragraphs were substantially a copyright violation, and have been rephrased while retaining their meaning.}} {{Iraq}} {{date|April 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> On Monday, April 14, 2025, over 3,500 people in {{w|Iraq}} had been hospitalised with respiratory problems due to a severe sandstorm, the biggest of the year so far.

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 took over from current Senior Minister [[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 eighteen {{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.

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.

According to ''{{w|CBS News}}'', the disruptions began only minutes after Greene had entered the building. Several other attendees were removed from the venue, with some of them being detained as well. Considered by some to be a controversial figure in US politics, Greene was advised against holding town halls by leaders in congress. 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.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:04, 7 August 2025 (UTC) === {{User-rights|Darkfrog24}}, reviewership=== I request reviewership. 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 would draw a clear distinction between must-have article changes and could-use/would-be-nice changes. 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. (If the reviewer is convinced that a change is necessary but cannot find a policy/precedent, then it may be time to write a new policy.) ::The could-use and would-be-nice categories would include things that might make the article more informative or more interesting OR constructive criticism in the case of drafters who are still learning to write but are not necessary for publication.

I have not succeeded at publishing many this year after the block expired. When requesting edits I noticed the candidate engages into argumentative discussions. I do not think this amount of rules lawyering is susceptible to training at this stage. As examples: [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:U.S._government_seeks_to_suspend_immigrants%27_Social_Security_numbers&diff=prev&oldid=4848969 this diff] with "no, we dont need any clearer 'When' than 'this week'" and two "I don't feel that's necessary, but go ahead and change it however you like" points. The latter indiates being unfamiliar with that a reviewer cannot do it because would be disqualified, and other users availability is very very scarse; and lack of any willingness to address the comment in any way. 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.

[[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.

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. Tzach's wife stated her belief that his intentions were to film and document the sharks, not to disturb them. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/israel-shark-attack-animals-wildlife-2ebee363ba844b6cc512c3f004e28557 |title = Swimmer’s remains found after shark attack in waters off Israel’s Mediterranean coast |author = TIA GOLDENBERG |pub = AP News |date = April 24, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c793rygrpjqo |title = Remains found after rare shark attack on swimmer in Israel |author = Raffi Berg |pub = BBC |date = April 23, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/shark-attack-wild-animals-israel-d68793e4007250395cbb22c1a8b087bf |title = Sharks drew crowds who swam with them off Israel’s coast — until one man disappeared |author = Ariel Schalit and Tia Goldenberg |pub = AP News |date = April 23, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Sharks]] [[Category:Middle East]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 6w4bxe0jppn9zjm0fuc0a47132g5jlt 0 3013099 4853325 4853324 2025-04-28T13:26:42Z Gryllida 160590 Protected "[[Shooting in Tuebrook, Liverpool, England leaves man in hospital]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([[User:Gryllida/js/ArchiveArticleProtect.js|via script]]) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4853324 wikitext text/x-wiki {{England}} {{date|April 24, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Liverpool Tuebrook (1953 ward).svg|thumb|left|Map of Liverpool, UK with 1953 wards shown, Tuebrook ward is highlighted.|Tuebrook marked in red. {{image source|Coops}}]] Two people in black clothing not showing their face, left the area of a shooting at Windsor Road, {{w|Tuebrook}}, {{w|Liverpool}}, [[England]] on a bike on Tuesday evening at around 6.45 p.m. A man in his 30's was shot at, causing leg injury, police said.

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. Also, do not use square brackets in names. :* '''notes=''' specifies text to be displayed immediately following the coordinates. This is primarily intended for adding footnotes to coordinates displayed beside the title. :* '''qid=''' specify Q item to display the coordinates of. Used primarily by Wikidata powered infoboxes. ==Helper functions== Helper functions are available to manipulate the output from {{tl|Coord}} when it appears in a container template such as an infobox. ===To extract the latitude from a Coord template=== {{See also|Geographic coordinate conversion}} Use: <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}}</nowiki> </code> → {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}} and similarly to extract the longitude, use: <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}} :'''Note: this method removes the microformat markup, and should not be used inside templates which emit parent microformats, such as infoboxes or table-row templates.''' === Displaying all coordinate links on one map === The templates {{tl|GeoGroup}} and {{tl|Maplink}} can be used in an article with coordinates. {{tl|GeoGroup}} creates links to a mapping service, which will display all the coordinates on a single map, and to other services which allow the coordinates to be used or downloaded as [[Keyhole Markup Language|KML]] or [[GPS Exchange Format|GPX]] format. {{tl|Maplink}} adds either a link or an embedded mapframe, which can display all named coordinates from a page or section ({{tlx|coord|nolink=on}} templates using the {{para|name}} parameter). == Examples == {{for|the guideline on coordinate precision|WP:OPCOORD}} {| class="wikitable" | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}} | Toronto – Fully decimal – western hemisphere implied by negation |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43.65|-79.38}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43.65|-79.38}} | Toronto – low precision decimal |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43.6500|-79.3800}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43.6500|-79.3800}} | Toronto – medium precision decimal with trailing zeroes |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43.653500|N|79.384000|W}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43.653500|N|79.384000|W}} | Toronto – high precision decimal with explicit hemisphere notation |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43|29|N|79|23|W}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43|29|N|79|23|W}} | Toronto – degrees & minutes |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43|29|13|N|79|23|02|W}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43|29|4|N|79|23|0|W}} | Toronto – degrees, minutes & seconds |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|43|29|12.6|N|79|23|02.4|W}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|43|29|12.6|N|79|23|02.4|W}} | Toronto – degrees, minutes, seconds & fractions of seconds |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E}} | Moscow – N & E |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dms}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dms}} | Convert to dms format |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|39.098095|-94.587307|format=dms}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|39.098095|-94.587307|format=dms}} | Decimal conversion without N/S/E/W |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dec|name=Moscow}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dec|name=Moscow}} | Convert to decimal and label on some maps |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|33|55|S|18|25|E}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|33|55|S|18|25|E}} | Cape Town – S & E |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|35|00|N|105|00|E}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|35|00|N|105|00|E}} | People's Republic of China |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|22|54|30|S|43|14|37|W}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|22|54|30|S|43|14|37|W}} | Rio – S & W |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|22|S|43|W}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|22|S|43|W}} | A [[Degree Confluence Project|degree confluence]]. |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{coord|52|28|N|1|55|W|region:GB_type:city|notes=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/UK/0/Birmingham.html|title=Birmingham}}</ref>|display=inline,title}}</syntaxhighlight> | {{coord|52|28|N|1|55|W|region:GB_type:city|notes=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/UK/0/Birmingham.html|title=Birmingham}}</ref>|display=inline,title}} | Birmingham – with display, notes, and parameter settings;

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.

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.

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.

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.

According to local media outlets, Moskalik was walking past a car parked next to his house when a homemade improvised device detonated. Videos on social media showed a vehicle bursting into flames in front of a block of buildings. A second unidentified victim was also killed in the attack. A Ukrainian special services agent was detained on suspicion of carring out the attack, Russian authorities said. State-owned news organisation ''{{w |TASS}}'' reported that the suspect had been rewarded with US$15,000 for the attack, which was planned since September 2024. The assassination occurs in the wake of similar killings of high-profile people linked to the Russian government, such as military blogger {{w|Vladlen Tatarsky}} in April 2023 and Lieutenant General {{w|Igor Kirillov}} last December.

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. Rescue efforts are underway, and helicopters were dispatched in an attempt to subdue the flames. {{haveyoursay}} ==Sister links== {{Sisters|Wikipedia|Port of Shahid Rajaee explosion}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0782l4yx78o |title=Iran port explosion: Mourning turns to anger after blast kills 40 |author = Kasra Naji |publisher=BBC |date=April 27, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250428080427/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0782l4yx78o }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx251yyvwr3o |title = Huge blast at key Iranian port kills eight and injures more than 750 |author = Frances Mao |pub = BBC |date = April 27, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250427210843/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx251yyvwr3o }} *{{source |url = https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/512273/At-least-400-injured-as-explosion-rocks-Shahid-Rajaee-Port |title = At least 8 dead, 750 injured as explosion rocks Iran's Shahid Rajaee Port |author = |pub = Tehran Times |date = April 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250427040214/https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/512273/At-least-400-injured-as-explosion-rocks-Shahid-Rajaee-Port }} [[Category:Iran]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} t3ikty50kpmuy8erjz5z6qxh3y7iaqj 0 3013404 4879297 4878950 2025-09-17T16:38:40Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] (added {{Archived}}) 4879297 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|April 29, 2025}} [[File:Jillian_lauren_2011.jpg|thumb|left|Jillian Lauren at the 2011 Texas Book Festival {{image source|Larry D.

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.

After the talks, Abbas Araghchi said "During the recent round of negotiations, we provided answers to the other side's questions, and the atmosphere was completely serious and work-focused. ... It was agreed that further reviews would be conducted in the capitals ahead of the next meeting to identify ways to narrow the gaps." Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr al-Busaidi stated that the talks had indicated "a shared aspiration to reach agreement based on mutual respect and enduring commitments". 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, at the 29th Muscat International Book Fair, Araghchi held a signing for his book ''The Power of Negotiation'' at the Dar Luban pavilion.

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|Swastika's}}." Afterwards, his channel read, "This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service." Although the channel was banned, the video generated millions of views on other social media platforms, such as [[YouTube]]. 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}}''. Schwimmer was quoted saying: "We can't stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile... but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr Musk." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.ndtv.com/feature/kanye-west-banned-on-twitch-7-minutes-after-streaming-debut-8262959 |title = Kanye West Banned On Twitch 7 Minutes After Streaming Debut |author = Abhinav Singh |pub = NDTV |date = April 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250427043946/https://www.ndtv.com/feature/kanye-west-banned-on-twitch-7-minutes-after-streaming-debut-8262959 }} *{{source |url = https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/kanye-west-banned-twitch-streaming-b2740037.html |title = Kanye West joins streaming service Twitch — gets banned after seven minutes |author = Kevin E G Perry |pub = The Independent |date = April 25, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250427014245/https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/kanye-west-banned-twitch-streaming-b2740037.html }} [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Social media]] [[Category:White supremacy]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Elon Musk]] [[Category:North America]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} npmmadsadfrfloboh3blroxutddav03 0 3013540 4854080 4853404 2025-05-01T14:26:31Z Randomdude121 2890183 double redirect 4854080 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Streaming platform Twitch bans rapper Kanye West seven minutes into first stream for performing "Nazi salute"]] p5ce77ovp1svprghz8kawe9czbfjiu8 0 3013541 4853406 2025-04-28T20:18:38Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Hip hop artist Kanye West banned from Twitch seven minutes into first stream for performing "Nazi salute"]] to [[Streaming platform Twitch bans rapper Kanye West seven minutes into first stream for performing "Nazi salute"]] 4853406 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Streaming platform Twitch bans rapper Kanye West seven minutes into first stream for performing "Nazi salute"]] p5ce77ovp1svprghz8kawe9czbfjiu8 0 3013542 4880435 4880434 2025-09-24T14:37:37Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Child defaces abstract painting by Mark Rothko worth tens of millions on display in Dutch museum]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4880434 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Culture and entertainment}} {{date|May 3, 2025}} [[File:Consuelo_Kanaga,_Mark_Rothko,_Yorktown_Heights,_ca._1949.jpg|thumb|left|Mark Rothko, Yorktown Heights, ca. 1949. {{image source|{{w|Consuelo Kanaga}}}}]] On Monday,''Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8'' an {{w|abstract painting}} created by late abstract painter {{w|Mark Rothko}} was scratched by a child while on display in a Dutch museum during what was described as an "unguarded moment." 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 then the unvarnished paint layer in the its lower section. A spokesperson for the museum told ''[[BBC]]'' that the institute was seeking "conservation expertise" throughout the [[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 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 == *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6dvdwjpj4o |title = Child damages €50m Rothko painting in

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.

[[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: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.

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 RS.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 Bentayga - 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 1500 REV.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 05:00 CEST (0300 UTC) 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 08:00 CEST (0600 UTC) 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."

'''Updates for editors''' * The Editing team is working on a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Check|Edit check]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#26 March 2025|Peacock check]]. This check's goal is to identify non-neutral terms while a user is editing a wikipage, so that they can be informed that their edit should perhaps be changed before they publish it. This project is at the early stages, and the team is looking for communities' input: [[phab:T389445|in this Phabricator task]], they are gathering on-wiki policies, templates used to tag non-neutral articles, and the terms (jargon and keywords) used in edit summaries for the languages they are currently researching. You can participate by editing the table on Phabricator, commenting on the task, or directly messaging [[m:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]]. * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|Single User Login]] has now been updated on all wikis to move login and account creation to a central domain. This makes user login compatible with browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies, which have prevented users of some browsers from staying logged in. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:35}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:35|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. '''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting on March 31st, the MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin a limited release of generated OpenAPI specs and a SwaggerUI-based sandbox experience for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API|MediaWiki REST APIs]]. They invite developers from a limited group of non-English Wikipedia communities (Arabic, German, French, Hebrew, Interlingua, Dutch, Chinese) to review the documentation and experiment with the sandbox in their preferred language. In addition to these specific Wikipedia projects, the sandbox and OpenAPI spec will be available on the [[testwiki:Special:RestSandbox|on the test wiki REST Sandbox special page]] for developers with English as their preferred language. During the preview period, the MediaWiki Interfaces Team also invites developers to [[mw:MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Feature Feedback/REST Sandbox|share feedback about your experience]]. The preview will last for approximately 2 weeks, after which the sandbox and OpenAPI specs will be made available across all wiki projects. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.44/wmf.23|MediaWiki]] '''In depth''' * Sometimes a small, [[gerrit:c/operations/cookbooks/+/1129184|one line code change]] can have great significance: in this case, it means that for the first time in years we're able to run all of the stack serving <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[http://maps.wikimedia.org/ maps.wikimedia.org]</bdi> - a host dedicated to serving our wikis and their multi-lingual maps needs - from a single core datacenter, something we test every time we perform a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter switchover]]. This is important because it means that in case one of our datacenters is affected by a catastrophe, we'll still be able to serve the site. This change is the result of [[phab:T216826|extensive work]] by two developers on porting the last component of the maps stack over to [[w:en:Kubernetes|kubernetes]], where we can allocate resources more efficiently than before, thus we're able to withstand more traffic in a single datacenter. This work involved a lot of complicated steps because this software, and the software libraries it uses, required many long overdue upgrades. This type of work makes the Wikimedia infrastructure more sustainable. '''Meetings and events''' * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025|MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025]] is happening in Sandusky, USA, and online, from 14–16 May 2025. The workshop will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users. Registration and presentation signup is now available at the workshop's website.

'''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]]. It is recommended that you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-email|check]] that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose.

Prime Minister [[Mark Carney]] has been elected to a full term as Prime Minister, winning a minority government. He succeeded [[Justin Trudeau]] as Prime Minister in March and called an early election. The Liberals won 169 seats, 3 short of a majority in the [[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. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us... That will never ever happen." Leader of the [[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. Judicial recounts were in progress to fully confirm the results. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9ve4l13x19o |title = Canada election: One in six seats changed hands |author = Phil Leake, Alison Benjamin, Daniel Wainwright and Jess Carr |pub = BBC News |date = April 30, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501084500/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9ve4l13x19o }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-election-questions-1.7522926 |title = Your Canadian election questions answered, and what comes next |author = Benjamin Lopez Steven |pub = CBC News |date = April 30, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250502153803/https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-election-questions-1.7522926 }} *{{source |url = https://globalnews.ca/news/11155234/canada-election-voter-turnout-preliminary-results/ |title = Voter turnout in Canada’s election the highest since 2015 |author = Sean Previl |pub = Global News |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501132108/https://globalnews.ca/news/11155234/canada-election-voter-turnout-preliminary-results/ }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/28/americas/canada-election-results-carney-poilievre-intl-hnk/ |title = Canada will ‘never’ yield to Trump’s threats as Prime Minister Carney declares election victory |author = Max Saltman, Paula Newton, Hira Humayun and Helen Regan, |pub = CNN |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250429202838/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/28/americas/canada-election-results-carney-poilievre-intl-hnk/ }} *{{source |url = https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/canada-election-winner-carney-poilievre-trump-liberals-conservatives-b2740959.html |title = Mark Carney’s Liberals win Canada’s crucial election and set to form minority government |author = Tara Cobham, Maroosha Muzaffar |pub = The Independent |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501220635/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/canada-election-winner-carney-poilievre-trump-liberals-conservatives-b2740959.html }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy70jg8ye8o |title = Canadian opposition leader Poilievre loses parliamentary seat, CBC projects |author = Ana Faguy |pub = BBC News |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501023949/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy70jg8ye8o }} [[Category:Mark Carney]] [[Category:Justin Trudeau]] [[Category:Liberal Party of Canada]] [[Category:Conservative Party of Canada]] [[Category:Canada]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Elections]] [[Category:Ottawa, Ontario]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} k81bmw02owq2bznf06n63p668lihznw 0 3013725 4879710 4879709 2025-09-19T16:04:39Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Turkish court sentences journalist to prison for "insulting Erdoğan"]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4879709 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Date|May 1, 2025}} [[File:Протесты в Анкаре из-за задержания Имамоглу.jpg|thumb|left|A protest in [[Ankara]] on March 20 {{Image source|[[Commons:User:Mocmuk|Mocmuk]]}}]] {{Turkey}} On Wednesday, a Turkish court sentenced Swedish journalist {{w|Joakim Medin}} to eleven months in prison for allegedly "insulting the President [[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan]]". 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 [[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|Istanbul Airport}} to cover the {{w|2025 Turkish protests |2=protests}} in support of the city's mayor {{w|Ekrem İmamoğlu}}, who had been {{w|Arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu |2=arrested}} the previous week on disputed corruption charges. In a letter written on April 12 from {{w|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|Minister for Foreign Affairs (Sweden) |2=Minister for Foreign Affairs}}, {{w|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, ten of whom were imprisoned, according to a report of the {{w|Stockholm Center for Freedom}}. Organisations {{w|European Centre for Press and Media Freedom}} and [[Reporters Without Borders]] condemned the sentencing, the latter one deeming it "undemocratic", and called for Medin's release and the dropping of both charges against him. == Sources == *{{Source |url = https://www.ouest-france.fr/monde/turquie/turquie-le-journaliste-suedois-condamne-a-11-mois-avec-sursis-pour-insulte-au-president-85b0a6fa-25d4-11f0-8bd9-2e665ca4169a |title = Turquie : le journaliste suédois condamné à 11 mois avec sursis pour « insulte au président » |author = |lang = fr |pub = Ouest-France |date = April 30, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250430165854/https://www.ouest-france.fr/monde/turquie/turquie-le-journaliste-suedois-condamne-a-11-mois-avec-sursis-pour-insulte-au-president-85b0a6fa-25d4-11f0-8bd9-2e665ca4169a }} *{{Source |url = https://rsf.org/en/t%C3%BCrkiye-rsf-condemns-sentencing-imprisoned-swedish-journalist-joakim-medin-undemocratic |title = Türkiye: RSF condemns sentencing of imprisoned Swedish journalist Joakim Medin as “undemocratic” |author = |pub = Reporters Without Borders |date = April 30, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250430214023/https://rsf.org/en/t%C3%BCrkiye-rsf-condemns-sentencing-imprisoned-swedish-journalist-joakim-medin-undemocratic }} *{{Source |url = https://www.ecpmf.eu/turkey-swedish-journalist-joakim-medin-to-face-terrorism-and-insult-charges-as-pre-trial-detention-continues/ |title = Turkey: Swedish journalist Joakim Medin to face terrorism and insult charges as pre-trial detention continues |author = |pub = European Centre for Press and Media Freedom |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501150136/https://www.ecpmf.eu/turkey-swedish-journalist-joakim-medin-to-face-terrorism-and-insult-charges-as-pre-trial-detention-continues/ }} *{{Source |url = https://rsf.org/en/who-joakim-medin-swedish-journalist-who-could-face-over-27-years-turkish-prison |title = Who is Joakim Medin, the Swedish journalist who could face over 27 years in Turkish |author = |pub = Reporters Without Borders |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501085831/https://rsf.org/en/who-joakim-medin-swedish-journalist-who-could-face-over-27-years-turkish-prison }} *{{Source |url = https://www.politico.eu/article/swedish-journalist-joakim-medin-etc-faces-12-years-turkish-prison-insulting-recep-tayyip-erdogan/ |title = Swedish journalist faces 12 years in Turkish prison after ‘insulting’ Erdoğan |author = Seb Starcevic |pub = Politico |date = April 23, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250426182657/https://www.politico.eu/article/swedish-journalist-joakim-medin-etc-faces-12-years-turkish-prison-insulting-recep-tayyip-erdogan/ }} *{{Source |url = https://www.brusselstimes.com/1533248/swedish-journalist-sends-hopeful-letter-from-turkish-prison |title = Swedish journalist sends hopeful letter from Turkish prison |author = Mose Apelblat |pub = The Brussels Times |date = April 13, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250430091438/https://www.brusselstimes.com/1533248/swedish-journalist-sends-hopeful-letter-from-turkish-prison }} *{{Source |url = https://stockholmcf.org/press-freedom-in-turkey-declined-further-in-2024-amid-censorship-arrests-and-intimidation-report/ |title = Press freedom in Turkey declined further in 2024 amid censorship, arrests and intimidation: report |author = |pub = Stockholm Center for Freedom |date = January 24, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250424092603/https://stockholmcf.org/press-freedom-in-turkey-declined-further-in-2024-amid-censorship-arrests-and-intimidation-report/ }} [[Category:Freedom of the press]] [[Category:Turkey]] [[Category:Recep Tayyip Erdoğan]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Sweden]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Asia]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} gb43rqsf7tnhzs82zci0varr0jkbobe 0 3013728 4880454 4880453 2025-09-24T14:59:37Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Man drives into group of seven schoolchildren in Osaka, Japan]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4880453 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 3, 2025}} [[File:Nishinari-ku in Osaka City.svg|thumb|left|Nishinari-ku in Osaka City {{image|Lincun}}]] {{Japan}} Police arrested a 28-year-old man from [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]] and took him into custody after he allegedly intentionally drove his car into a group of seven young students from an elementary school on Thursday. The vehicle attack happened around 1:35&nbsp;p.m. local time in {{w|Osaka}}'s {{w|Nishinari Ward}}. Of the seven children injured, a 7-year-old girl had a broken jaw and was seriously injured, while the other six boys sustained minor injuries. A witness reported that the car was swerving as it struck the children; one girl was badly injured and bleeding, while the others appeared to have only minor cuts. The man said to law enforcement that he was "sick and tired of everything" then rammed his car into the kids wanting to kill them. "I was fed up with everything, so I decided to kill people by ramming the car I was driving into several elementary school children," an official quoted the man's statement. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.independent.co.uk/news/japan-tokyo-police-osaka-nhk-b2743143.html |title = Car ramming in Japan injures 7 schoolchildren and suspect is arrested on the scene |author = Mari Yamaguchi |pub = The Independent |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250502154622/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/japan-tokyo-police-osaka-nhk-b2743143.html }} *{{source |url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/japanese-police-arrest-man-after-car-ploughs-into-schoolchildren/articleshow/120792154.cms |title = Japanese police arrest man after car ploughs into schoolchildren |author = ''[[Agence France-Presse]]'' |pub = The Times of India |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250502234437/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/japanese-police-arrest-man-after-car-ploughs-into-schoolchildren/articleshow/120792154.cms }} *{{source |url = https://www.nippon.com/en/news/yjj2025050100697/ |title = Man Arrested in Osaka after Hitting 7 Kids with Car |author = |pub = Nippon.com |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250504071014/https://www.nippon.com/en/news/yjj2025050100697/ |brokenURL = true }} [[Category:Japan]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Tokyo]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} 7jw95b6wpcpm6x0qkfc5dh6ezishqdv 0 3013729 4880680 4880679 2025-09-25T14:30:35Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Ukraine, US reach minerals deal]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4880679 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 4, 2025}} {{United States}} [[Ukraine]] and the [[United States]] reached a deal on April 30 to give the US preferential access to new Ukrainian rare earth mineral deals and to create a new fund to attract investors and help in rebuilding war-torn Ukraine. 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]] {{Missing image|File:Yulia Svyrydenko portrait.jpg|First Vice Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko {{image source|[[User:Presschairman|Presschairman]]}}|thumb|left}} US President [[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, [[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 [[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.

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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250502020808/https://www.foxnews.com/us/sullivans-island-hit-and-run-suspect-captured-after-allegedly-running-down-adult-two-kids-beach-town }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503141120/https://abcnews.go.com/US/2-kids-1-adult-struck-car-church-sullivans/story?id=121368445 }} *{{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. We were going for that evil imagery, and Brian was just so lighthearted, even goofy in a good way." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://blabbermouth.net/news/possesseds-jeff-becerra-pays-tribute-to-late-guitarist-brian-montana-he-was-jovial-and-a-gentleman |title = Possessed's Jeff Becerra Pays Tribute to Late Guitarist Brian Montana: 'He Was Jovial and a Gentleman' |author = |pub = Blabbermouth |date=May 2, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250504190810/https://blabbermouth.net/news/possesseds-jeff-becerra-pays-tribute-to-late-guitarist-brian-montana-he-was-jovial-and-a-gentleman }} *{{source |url = https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/gunman-killed-in-south-sf-police-standoff-idd-as-founding-guitarist-of-metal-band-possessed/ |title = Gunman killed in South SF police standoff ID’d as founding guitarist of metal band, Possessed |author = Alex Baker and Lindsey Ford |pub = KRON 4 |date = May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503040923/https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/gunman-killed-in-south-sf-police-standoff-idd-as-founding-guitarist-of-metal-band-possessed/ |brokenURL = true }} *{{source |url = https://loudwire.com/guitarist-death-metal-band-killed-police-shootout-possessed/ |title = Original Guitarist for Classic Death Metal Band Killed in Police Shootout |author = Lauryn Schaffner |pub = Loudwire |date=May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250504042256/https://loudwire.com/guitarist-death-metal-band-killed-police-shootout-possessed/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2306500/former-possessed-guitarist-shot-and-killed-by-san-francisco-police/news/ |pub=Stereogum |title=Former Possessed Guitarist Shot And Killed By San Francisco Police |author=Danielle Chelosky |date=May 1, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503025227/https://www.stereogum.com/2306500/former-possessed-guitarist-shot-and-killed-by-san-francisco-police/news/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/ex-possessed-guitarist-killed-by-police |pub=Metal Hammer |author= Paul Brannigan |date=May 1, 2025 |title=Former Possessed guitarist killed by police in California after gun battle outside his home |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250501231638/https://www.loudersound.com/news/ex-possessed-guitarist-killed-by-police }} [[Category:San Francisco, California]] [[Category:California]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Obituaries]] [[Category:North America]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} omyzdgv54xls7zbhxf7y092el6pruss 0 3013759 4854903 4854205 2025-05-04T12:12:53Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Original guitarist of influential death metal band Possessed dies in shootout with San Francisco police]] to [[Former guitarist of pioneering death metal band Possessed dies in shootout with San Francisco police]] 4854903 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Former guitarist of pioneering death metal band Possessed dies in shootout with San Francisco police]] 6nqif15rmzk9kwvcowd6pgore6ap1ws 14 3013760 4854234 2025-05-02T00:23:20Z Oleg Yunakov 250713 Datecategory 4854234 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Datecategory}} tnitdumewxaeyevrqvfhe04c2tsb8bj 14 3013763 4854239 4854238 2025-05-02T00:30:43Z Oleg Yunakov 250713 Category 4854239 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Topic cat |intro=one of the "Big Three" automobile manufacturers in the United States, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan |image=Stellantis.svg |imagecaption= |offset={{{offset|0}}} |sisterprojects=yes |wiktionary={{PAGENAME}} |wikidata=Q181114 }} [[Category:Companies]] [[Category:United States]] 0xw0p0wmmxvblr16oxyra00479xj66j 0 3013768 4864797 4854268 2025-06-19T05:15:59Z CptViraj 2794342 Changed redirect target from [[Man arrested in Osaka, Japan, after deliberately driving into group of seven schoolchildren]] to [[Man drives into group of seven schoolchildren in Osaka, Japan]] 4864797 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Man drives into group of seven schoolchildren in Osaka, Japan]] 68puiv4rwg8x0hut82ulmutts3sva0t 0 3013802 4880442 4880441 2025-09-24T14:44:12Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[SUV strikes bus carrying suburban high school students in Chicago]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4880441 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Disasters and accidents}} {{date|May 3, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:US-IL-Chicago-CA74.svg|thumb|left|Mount Greenwood, Illinois indicated in red{{image|The Map Collection, University of Chicago Library, Christopher Siciliano, and Jeremy Atherton}}]] On Friday, a school bus transporting {{w|suburban}} high school students was involved in a collision with an SUV in {{w|Mount Greenwood}}, [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]].

The affiliate that I'm part of, [[m:Wikimedia New York City]], would like to help with this process, and to develop a grant proposal in consultation with the English Wikinews community. Wikinews has so much to offer the world, and I think it just needs some investment and experimentation with new ideas to help it fulfill its potential. 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).

The elections were primarily county councils in rural England as well as one parliamentary by-election.

The party also won two {{w|Directly elected mayors in England|new metro mayors}} in {{w|2025 Greater Lincolnshire mayoral election|Greater Lincolnshire}} and {{w|2025 Hull and East Yorkshire mayoral election|Hull and East Yorkshire}}. Later results included Reform UK winning strongholds such as {{w|2025 Kent County Council election|Kent}} and {{w|2025 Staffordshire County Council election|Staffordshire}} from the Conservatives and {{w|2025 Durham County Council election|County Durham}} and {{w|2025 City of Doncaster Council election|Doncaster}} from the Labour Party.

In total they won 677 of over 1,600 council seats across England. Nigel Farage called the results "unprecedented" and said it meant "the end of two-party politics". It was also a good night for the [[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}}. They also made strong gains in {{w|2025 Devon County Council election|Devon}}, {{w|2025 Cornwall Council election|Cornwall}} and {{w|2025 Wiltshire Council election|Wiltshire}}. The [[Green Party of England and Wales|Green Party]] had mixed results, with some new seats in {{w|2025 Gloucestershire County Council election|Gloucestershire}} and {{w|2025 Worcestershire County Council election|Worcestershire}} but they came third in the {{w|2025 West of England mayoral election|West of England mayoral election}} behind Labour and Reform UK. The Conservatives lost over 600 councillors and every one of the fifteen of the councils it controlled, which was reportedly among the worst results in the history of the party, according to ''ITV News''. They lost many seats in their heartland counties including Cambridgeshire, {{w|2025 Hertfordshire County Council election|Hertfordshire}} and {{w|2025 Northamptonshire County Council election|Northamptonshire}}.

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 fifteen 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 [[Red List of Threatened Species|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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503231916/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/underwater-hotels-spotted-handfish-release-tasmania/105228344 }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503231918/https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/australia-releases-15-endemic-spotted-handfish-into-wild-for-1st-time-3701568 }} *{{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 [[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 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 [[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 [[Joe Biden]] had previously been accused of mocking the Catholic faith due to a gesture at a {{w|pro-choice}} rally. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url =

The release had been previously slated for fall 2025. The reason given by Rockstar was "to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve." The company apologized for the delay, explaining: "With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and ''Grand Theft Auto VI'' is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve." ''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. {{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250504012650/https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-delayed-to-may-2026 }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250504100233/https://www.theverge.com/news/660057/grand-theft-auto-6-release-date-delay-may-2026 }} {{DISPLAYTITLE:''Grand Theft Auto&nbsp;VI'' release date pushed back until May 2026}} {{Publish}} [[Category:Video games]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] {{Archived}} cegwl87zcoc78a1933s0pftagao92fq 0 3013991 4880789 4880788 2025-09-26T00:24:57Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Peruvian police locate bodies of security guards allegedly abducted by illegal goldminers]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4880788 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|May 7, 2025}} On Sunday, May 4, in [[Peru|Peru's]] {{w|Pataz province}} in the northern {{w|Department of La Libertad}} region, near one of Peru's largest 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 gold mining company, named La Poderosa ("Powerful" in Spanish), 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 ''[[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

confused. I am trying to mark up my articles, so a reference jumps over to Wikipedia. However, when I enter (for example), <nowiki>{{w|Michelle Obama}}</nowiki> it jumps to WN - NOT Wikipedia. What gives??--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 15:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC) :{{Ping|Bddpaux}} Just a heads-up that I edited your comment and I hope that better represents what you were trying to show. Unlike many of our sister projects, the template {{tl|w}} defaults to a local link if it exists and only ''then'' goes to Wikipedia if it doesn't. See [[Template:W/doc]] for some details. There are tracking categories here for local versus non-local links. If you want to make a link that you are certain will go to Wikipedia, you can make it in the form of <nowiki>[[:w:Michelle Obama|Michelle Obama]]</nowiki>. —[[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> 16:17, 18 March 2025 (UTC) ::This helps!

Do you know your operating system and browser? 99% of the time, if you see a padlock next to a link, it means either 1.) that said link is going to a secure website that uses http'''s''':// at the beginning of the URI instead of http:// and the padlock is letting you know that this connection is secure or 2.) a padlock can sometimes mean that the content you are linking to has a subscription paywall.

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. Both Martinez's family and Representative Joaquin Castro have asked prosecutors to file hate crime charges. Castro said at the time of the shooting "[t]hree weeks ago, Aaron Martinez was murdered in cold blood by a man who wanted to drive Hispanics out of Kaufman County." McEuen was released on bail but later re-arrested in September 2024 after threatening Martinez's uncle on Instagram. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2025/05/07/statewide-manhunt-underway-for-murder-suspect-accused-of-cutting-off-his-ankle-monitor-officials-say/ |title = Statewide manhunt underway for murder suspect accused of cutting off his ankle monitor, officials say |author = Halee Powers |pub = KSAT |date = May 7, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250508165856/https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2025/05/07/statewide-manhunt-underway-for-murder-suspect-accused-of-cutting-off-his-ankle-monitor-officials-say/ }} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/kaufman-sheriff-cut-ankle-monitor-found-cell-phones-burned-barn/6254372/ |title = Cut ankle monitor found with Texas murder suspect's cellphones in burned barn |author = David Goins |pub = NBC New York |date = May 7, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250915024043/https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/kaufman-sheriff-cut-ankle-monitor-found-cell-phones-burned-barn/6254372/ }} [[CAT:Crime and law]][[CAT:Texas]] [[Category:North America]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} qomya495uu3hpsfg6tmpgejhbrb5pzt 0 3014234 4862857 4855870 2025-06-08T17:37:07Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer cuts ankle monitor, flees]] to [[Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer's ankle monitor found in fire]] 4862857 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer's ankle monitor found in fire]] tkmp0h66p3jqqrl9tvgh69sy5m9p771 0 3014238 4855882 2025-05-08T02:22:44Z Darkfrog24 950005 Darkfrog24 moved page [[Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer cuts ankle monitor, flees]] to [[Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer's ankle monitor found in fire]] 4855882 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Texas authorities announce manhunt after alleged murderer's ankle monitor found in fire]] tkmp0h66p3jqqrl9tvgh69sy5m9p771 102 3014281 4855993 2025-05-08T15:20:56Z 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]] 4855993 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3014291 4856039 2025-05-08T17:20:42Z Bddpaux 112744 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4856039 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3014302 4881681 4881072 2025-09-30T21:02:33Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Archive process is complete.

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 [[Pope Francis]], especially for his commitment to social justice issues sparked some interest from his peers. Pope Leo XIV became the second Pope from the Americas, and the first Pope from North America, specifically. He is also the first Pope from [[Peru]] and the first pope to hold {{w|dual citizenship}}. He was born on September 14, 1955, in [[Chicago]], Illinois. He has served as the {{w|Bishop of Chiclayo}}, 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 == *{{source |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ln80lzk7ko |title=Who is Robert Prevost, the new Pope Leo XIV? |author=Paul Kirby, Ione Wells |pub=BBC |date=May 9, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/cardinals-set-second-day-conclave-elect-new-pope-2025-05-08/ |title = Prevost surprises as first US pope, takes name Leo XIV |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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250508191729/https://abcnews.go.com/International/new-american-pope-leo-xiv-robert-prevost/story?id=121604332 }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250508231028/https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2025-05/cardinal-elected-pope-papal-name.html |medium = video }} *{{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 = Associated Press |date = April 22, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250507234022/https://apnews.com/article/next-pope-contenders-list-101d68d61be2401a85310e34b45371a9 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived}} [[Category:The Vatican]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Pope Francis]] [[Category:Peru]] [[Category:Americas]] [[Category:United States]] haw0x6aiv8j0701m3psxhjc7bcri8k5 0 3014303 4881732 4881731 2025-10-01T01:54:29Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[United National Congress party wins elections, new government cabinet meets in Trinidad and Tobago]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4881731 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 9, 2025}} {{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 (Trinidad and Tobago)|Red House]] in [[Port of Spain]], the capital. The new government of {{w|Kamla Persad-Bissessar}} was sworn in after the {{w|United National Congress}} (UNC) party won the {{w|2025 Trinidad and Tobago general election}} held on April 28. This is the second time Persad-Bissessar has served as {{w|Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago}} as she previously held the premiership from 2010 to 2015. According to the subsequent media briefing on Thursday afternoon, during the meeting the cabinet discussed establishing an e-Cabinet platform, the TT Revenue Authority Act, establishing a committee to discuss {{w|stand your ground}} gun laws, and changes to the Children's Fund Act that would allow more people to apply for aid. 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 ten years in government, and former prime minister {{w|Keith Rowley}} conceded defeat. After the results came in Persad-Bissessar proclaimed "when UNC wins, everybody wins." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/new-ministers-briefed-big-legislative-changes-revealed-at-first-cabinet-meeting/article_62815737-3e46-4e07-8787-e87cb9f6ab97.html |title = New ministers briefed, Big legislative changes revealed at first Cabinet Meeting |author = Carolyn Kissoon |pub = Trinidad Express |date = May 8, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250509154238/https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/new-ministers-briefed-big-legislative-changes-revealed-at-first-cabinet-meeting/article_62815737-3e46-4e07-8787-e87cb9f6ab97.html }} *{{source |url = https://newsday.co.tt/2025/05/08/government-discusses-ecabinet-repeal-of-ttra-in-first-cabinet-meeting/ |title = Government discusses eCabinet, repeal of TTRA in first Cabinet meeting |author = Paula Lindo |pub = Trinidad and Tobago Newsday |date = May 8, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250509203142/https://newsday.co.tt/2025/05/08/government-discusses-ecabinet-repeal-of-ttra-in-first-cabinet-meeting/ }} *{{source |url = https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/pm-kamla-to-host-red-house-post-cabinet-media-briefing/article_6411b46e-94f2-462f-a2a5-669435855f07.html |title = PM Kamla to host Red House post-Cabinet media briefing |author = |pub = Trinidad Express |date = May 8, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250711113617/https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/pm-kamla-to-host-red-house-post-cabinet-media-briefing/article_6411b46e-94f2-462f-a2a5-669435855f07.html }} *{{source |url = https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/kamla-unveils-new-cabinet-with-fresh-faces-political-veterans/article_52f11d6d-1418-42f3-ae17-cb47130df3a3.html |title = Kamla unveils new Cabinet, with fresh faces, political veterans |author = Khamarie Rodriguez |pub = Trinidad Express |date = May 3, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250711113617/https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/kamla-unveils-new-cabinet-with-fresh-faces-political-veterans/article_52f11d6d-1418-42f3-ae17-cb47130df3a3.html }} *{{source |url = https://newsday.co.tt/2025/05/02/kamlas-promise-on-return-to-government-a-pm-for-all/ |title = Kamla's promise on return to government: 'A PM for all' |author = Joey Bartlett |pub = Trinidad and Tobago Newsday |date = May 2, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503140837/https://newsday.co.tt/2025/05/02/kamlas-promise-on-return-to-government-a-pm-for-all/ }} *{{source |url = https://newsday.co.tt/2025/05/02/prime-minister-breaks-tradition-during-swearingin/ |title = Prime Minister breaks tradition during swearing-in |author = Ryan Hamilton-Davis |pub = Trinidad and Tobago Newsday |date = May 2, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250503025958/https://newsday.co.tt/2025/05/02/prime-minister-breaks-tradition-during-swearingin/ }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx284988058o |title = Opposition sails to victory in Trinidad and Tobago |author = Vanessa Buschschlüter |pub = BBC News |date = April 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250501111703/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx284988058o }} [[Category:Trinidad and Tobago]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Elections]] [[Category:Caribbean]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} 7xrqrcuo84g66n4oyucbvse8acpy1yr 102 3014312 4856129 2025-05-08T21:41:39Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4856129 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3014314 4881680 4881677 2025-09-30T21:01:21Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Changed protection settings for "[[Kenyan court fines four men for queen ant trafficking]]": reduce protection so another reviewer can remove or change the correction and self-sight if they so choose ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite)) 4881677 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Correction|date=September 30, 2025|explanation={{tooltip|N.B.|In journalism, &quot;n.b.&quot; stands for nota bene, a Latin phrase meaning &quot;note well.&quot; It is used to draw the reader&#39;s attention to important information or details in a text. }} The article misstates aspects of sentencing.

If they refused to pay it, they would face a minimum prison sentence of one year. Among the populations were ''Messor cephalotes'', a species of {{w|harvester ant}} native to {{w|East Africa}}. Ants are actively sought by {{w|exotic pet}} enthusiasts for their complex {{w|eusociality|eusocial behaviour}} that includes the building of {{w|Ant colony|colonies}}, being typically kept in large specialized devices known as {{w|Formicarium|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|Test tube|test tubes}} in {{w|Nakuru County}}, northwest of [[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|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|Kenya Wildlife Service}} (KWS) welcomed the ruling, highlighting it as an example of Kenya's {{w|Zero tolerance|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]] [[Category:Africa]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} dhrraf2n852mm1xoqbt910f452haxra 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 4881719 4881718 2025-10-01T01:04:53Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[2025 Khelo India Youth Games begins, first time in Bihar]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4881718 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.{{image|[https://kheloindia.gov.in/ Khelo India]}}]] 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. Balancing speed, accuracy, and collaboration remains critical as we move forward. *[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=New_York_county_clerk_says_Texas_cannot_fine_abortion_doctor%7CUS_prosecutors_pursue_death_penalty_for_Luigi_Mangione,_suspect_in_2024_killing_of_healthcare_CEO%7CU.S._Senator_Cory_Booker_breaks_records_with_marathon_speech_on_floor_of_US_Senate%7CNintendo_delays_US_pre-orders_for_Switch_2,_cites_tariff_impact%7CSouth_Korean_Constitutional_Court_upholds_impeachment_of_President_Yoon_Suk_Yeol%7CHorse_found_dead_along_busy_street_in_Atlanta,_Georgia_ten_days_after_being_bought_at_auction%7CLondon_police_charge_comedian_Russell_Brand_with_rape,_other_offenses%7CSightseeing_helicopter_crash_in_New_York_City_kills_six,_including_Siemens_Mobility_executive_Agustin_Escobar_and_his_family%7CUS_pastor_abducted_after_being_forced_into_own_vehicle_at_gunpoint_during_raid_of_religious_sermon_in_South_Africa%7CChinese_officials_advise_millions_of_residents_to_stay_indoors_amid_historic_gale_force_winds Pageview statistics of first 10 articles] *[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=City_park_shooting_in_Conway,_Arkansas_leaves_at_least_two_killed,_nine_injured%7CExplosion_occurs_near_railway_offices_in_Athens,_Greece%7CSouth_African_Civil_Aviation_Authority_attributes_helicopter_crash_to_'unsecured'_penguin_in_the_cabin%7CAutistic_teen_with_cerebral_palsy_shot_repeatedly_by_Idaho_police_dies_after_being_taken_off_life_support%7CNobel_laureate_writer_from_Peru,_Vargas_Llosa_dies%7C16_year_old_Torquay_boy_arrested_after_allegedly_stealing_Lexus_in_Exeter%7CAuthorities_identify_Legionnaires'_disease_outbreak_in_Sydney_CBD,_Australia%7CNo_survivors_onboard_after_small_plane_crashes_near_Interstate_95_in_South_Florida%7CNuclear_negotiations_between_US_and_Iran_commence_in_Muscat,_Oman%7CPop_singer_Katy_Perry_safely_returns_to_Earth_from_outer_space Pageview statistics of second 10 articles] *[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Ryan_Gosling_cast_in_upcoming_Star_Wars_film%7CSandstorm_in_Iraq_leaves_thousands_hospitalised%7CUS_Health_Secretary_vows_to_determine_cause_of_autism_by_September%7CProtester_tasered_and_arrested_at_town_hall_hosted_by_US_Republican_congresswoman_Marjorie_Taylor_Greene%7CSeveral_suspects_dead_in_South_Africa_after_shootout_results_in_the_rescue_of_abducted_US_pastor%7CSeveral_tourists_die_in_cable_car_crash_in_south_of_Naples,_Italy%7CBaseball:_Cincinnati_Reds_win_against_Baltimore_Orioles%7CPope_Francis_dies_at_age_88%7CResearchers_film_colossal_squid_in_its_natural_habitat_for_the_first_time%7CMan_arrested_after_driving_wrong_way_on_Interstate_93_in_New_Hampshire Pageview statistics of third 10 articles] *[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Shooting_in_Tuebrook,_Liverpool,_England_leaves_man_in_hospital%7CIran_and_US_plan_meetings_of_technical_experts_after_second_round_of_negotiations%7CKamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime%7CPolice_recover_remains_of_man_killed_in_first_fatal_shark_attack_in_history_of_Israel%7CUnited_States:_Baltimore_federal_grand_jury_indict_man_of_international_conspiracy_in_Cameroon,_Central_Africa%7CLion_mauls,_kills_teenage_girl_in_Kenya%7CLuigi_Mangione_pleads_not_guilty_to_federal_charges_involving_murder_of_UnitedHealthcare_CEO_Brian_Thompson%7CStory_preparation/Taronga_Zoo's_elephants_moving_from_Sydney_to_Monarto_Safari_Park_in_South_Australia%7CIran_and_United_States_schedule_fourth_round_of_talks%7CCDU/CSU_nominates_Johann_Wadephul_as_German_Foreign_Minister Pageview statistics of fourth 10 articles] *[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Indian_government_bans_16_Pakistani_YouTube_channels_in_India%7CLos_Angeles_Police_release_body_cam_footage_of_armed_standoff_between_officers_and_wife_of_Weezer_bassist%7CRussian_Lieutenant_General_Yaroslav_Moskalik_dies_in_car_bombing_assassination_in_Moscow%7CStreaming_platform_Twitch_bans_rapper_Kanye_West_seven_minutes_into_first_stream_for_performing_%22Nazi_salute%22%7CStunt_pilot_Rob_Holland_dies_after_crashing_experimental_aircraft%7CGermany_bridges_require_more_funding,_audit_authority_Bundesrechnungshof_warns Pageview statistics of last 6 articles] This month's top article by number of page-views: "[[Streaming platform Twitch bans rapper Kanye West seven minutes into first stream for performing "Nazi salute"]]" As of May 16, 2025 the article has had 1,754 views.

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. In the module <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki></code>, coordinate parameters, if provided, must be the second unnamed or positional parameter. 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.

Albanese downplayed the demotions, stating on Thursday: "No individual is greater than the collective, and that includes myself." New ministers include {{w|Anne Aly}} who was given the portfolio of small business, international development, and multicultural affairs and {{w|Michelle Rowland}} who was named the new attorney-general. The {{w|Australian Labor Party|Labor}} government won a second term in office following the landslide election victory on May 3. In his victory speech Albanese said "We've seen the attempt to run American-style politics here of division and pitting Australians against each other and I think that's not the Australian way." {{w|Peter Dutton}}, the [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal Party]] leader lost his own seat to Labor candidate {{w|Ali France}}.

{{W|electronic waste}} hidden in ten storage containers falsely declared as metal scrap. 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 == *{{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}} {{Archived}} c9f0brtthu4n2ihtv6suwdk81kyb9od 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 a headcount taken at 8:30 a.m. Louisiana time (13:30 UTC). 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. Louisiana time (05:30 UTC) "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. Louisiana time (06:01 UTC) 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 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 == *{{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 [[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 10:00 p.m. EDT (0200 UTC, May 16), 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 [[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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250517202131/https://apnews.com/article/new-jersey-transit-strike-train-engineers-nyc-08a230d45019fb96211c4b5710425cfc }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250517084326/https://abcnews.go.com/US/new-jersey-transit-strike-underway-350000-commuters-scramble/story?id=121836423 }} *{{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 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250520102124/https://www.fastcompany.com/91336014/nj-transit-rail-strike-2025-update-how-long-demands-shakira-concert }} *{{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]] [[Category:North America]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} 2wtd4tufuchf8zartmcrspmaajiqpy8 4 3014838 4868168 4868164 2025-07-08T13:35:27Z Redireditor 2856400 *facepalm* 4868168 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).

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 17 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}}'' 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.

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|crossbows}}, {{W|machete|machetes}}, and {{w|sword|swords}} found in raids in the residences of the accused in the {{W|Derbyshire}}, [[Staffordshire]] and [[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 == *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250519091316/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/14/uk-neo-nazis-convicted-of-planning-mosque-synagogue-race-war-attack }} *{{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 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250515042404/https://www.lbc.co.uk/crime/neo-nazi-extremists-guilty-of-planning-terror-attacks/ }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Terrorism convictions]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:South Yorkshire]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} 7zogqkchwu2p2c2o1peqvydmc7ibwii 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 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 102 3015149 4859091 2025-05-21T17:40:01Z Bddpaux 112744 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4859091 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3015164 4878826 4878825 2025-09-15T03:02:39Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Professional baseball is back in Tucson, Arizona, thanks to relocation of Mexican team]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4878825 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. They will be playing in the {{W|Kino Sports Complex}} starting in the 2025-26 season, with Tucson to be the first American city to participate in the MPL. 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.

Left request. 4859692 wikitext text/x-wiki At [[WN:AAA]] there was an open discussion about removing alleged copyright violations from published and archived articles. 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). Noting that in response to one instance Gryllida added link to earwig copyvio checker into the review and developing templates, on April 22, 2025. As of today (May 25, 2025), this link consistently is visible in the develop template, but is not consistently visible in review template, for some reason. Table to be added shortly. Why is visual editor not available for this page? I would like to add table with columns: 1. article title and link 2. column for 'Yes, a sysop&reviewer did it and self sighted' 3. column for 'Yes, another reviewer okayed it' hv2l1vakfemnhlp58ckgrp0d0lbjw4l 4 3015351 4877143 4877039 2025-09-04T21:34:04Z Tegel 124549 Reverted edit(s) by [[Special:Contributions/Madkine|Madkine]] ([[User talk:Madkine|talk]]) to last version by The Sophocrat 4877013 wikitext text/x-wiki {{proposed|WN:Plagiarism|type=guideline}} {{Policy nav1}} ::'''''Note:''' This page is a rewritten version of the original proposed guideline now located at [[User:Brian_McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism]]. 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. Merely blending source text is not enough. == Practical tips == * If you needed to paste a content from an external source, enclose in quotation marks immediately and add note which source. Avoid saving pasted content without quoting it as another user may start to edit it without knowing that it's a copy/paste. * Use [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ Earwig Copyright detector (toolforge.org)] to check your writing. A link to Earwig is provided in the {{tl|develop}} and {{tl|review}} templates, so it is easily available at the top of each ''Wikinews'' draft for you to access. == Examples == * Copying without quotation or clear attribution ** BBC says: "UN reported that Iran was the 4th most vulnerable country to climate change, in its 2024 Climate Change Outlook report" ** ''Wikinews'' says: "Iran was assessed as the 4th most vulnerable country to climate change" *** Better: "The [[United Nations]]'s {{W|2024 Climate Change Outlook report}} indicated Iran was on the 4th place in the vulnerability to climate change ranking, citing issues with water supply and droughts" + add link to the report, not only to BBC * Minor rewording ** BBC says: "The suspect allegedly entered the building, filled a bag with jeewlry, ran outside, entered his car and left" ** ''Wikinews'' says: "It was alleged that the suspect came into the house, put jewelry into his bag, went to his vehicle and drove away" ***Better: "The police claimed that the suspect broke and entered to steal jewelry and left by car" * Switching ** BBC says: "The conference took place in Paris on 4th Avenue, house 56" ** CNN says: "The conference had 4500 attendees, primarily of Islamic backround" ** ''Wikinews'' says: "The conference, that took place at 4th Avenue, 56, Paris had 4500 attendees mostly Islamic" *** Better: The conference was located at a town hall building at 56, 4th Avenue, Paris, France. CNN alleged that the attendees were predominantly from the Islamic community. * Failing to cite ** BBC says: "The suspect was a "male in his 60s", police said" ** ''Wikinews'' says: "The police alleged the suspect was a "male in his 60s"" yet in 'Sources' section the BBC source isn't cited. *** Better: do the same, yet include BBC as citation in 'Sources' section == See also == * [[User:Brian_McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism]] previous version of this page * [[WN:WRITE|Introduction to writing a Wikinews article]] 66davkdufqcvielf9tphc8w9hvnqwtq 0 3015357 4864775 4862858 2025-06-19T05:09:22Z CptViraj 2794342 Changed redirect target from [[GUBOPiK allegedly arrests Belarusian Wikipedia sysop Maksim Lepushenka]] to [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] 4864775 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] h0xnuxm04r3kcesbj6rar1l3mifgovc 0 3015364 4864776 4862859 2025-06-19T05:09:35Z CptViraj 2794342 Changed redirect target from [[GUBOPiK allegedly arrests Belarusian Wikipedia sysop Maksim Lepushenka]] to [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] 4864776 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] h0xnuxm04r3kcesbj6rar1l3mifgovc 102 3015414 4859942 2025-05-25T10:00:06Z 102.213.69.30 Page created with "{{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. -->" 4859942 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --> 67rkwjg627ptnfgzzpg4qumewru1g31 0 3015519 4864777 4860268 2025-06-19T05:09:51Z CptViraj 2794342 Changed redirect target from [[GUBOPiK allegedly arrests Belarusian Wikipedia sysop Maksim Lepushenka]] to [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] 4864777 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Authorities arrest Belarusian Wikipedia sysop and only bureaucrat Maksim Lepushenka]] h0xnuxm04r3kcesbj6rar1l3mifgovc 0 3015525 4878949 4878948 2025-09-15T17:23:27Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 lower case 4878949 wikitext text/x-wiki {{England}} {{date|June 1, 2025}} [[File:2025 Liverpool FC Parade.jpg|thumb|left|Liverpool F.C. 2025 Parade, looking down Dale Street. {{image source|DannyDouble}}]] On Monday, May 26, just after 6pm local time, in Liverpool, England, a motorist, allegedly a 53-year-old man local to the area, drove their {{W|Ford Galaxy}} car into pedestrians at the [[Liverpool FC]] trophy parade where hundreds of thousands of people celebrated the [[Liverpool FC]] winning the {{w|English Premier League}} football championship. Dave Kitchin from the Northwest Ambulance Service stated that three adults and one child were trapped under the vehicle, and numerous others were injured: altogether, twenty people were treated for minor injuries, and twenty seven had to be taken to the local hospitals, with a few more patients going to the hospitals by themselves. The alleged driver of the car, a white British man, was arrested shortly after the incident; on Thursday, May 29, he, Paul Desmond Sanders Doyle, 53 year old, of Burghill Road, West Derby, has been charged with dangerous driving as well as multiple counts of intending to cause, or wounding with intent to cause, or causing, grievous bodily harm. "We were contacted at just after 6pm today, Monday 26 May, following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street", Merseyside Police said on Monday. "The car stopped at the scene and a male has been detained. Emergency services are currently on the scene." Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims clarified on Tuesday "It is believed the driver of the Ford Galaxy car involved in the incident was able follow an ambulance onto Water Street, after the road block was temporarily lifted so that the ambulance crew could attend to a member of the public who was having a suspected heart attack". On Thursday, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims provided an update on the incident "A total of 79 people who were injured continue to be in contact with our officers and staff, and seven people remain in hospital, receiving the expert care of our NHS colleagues. ... I would encourage anyone who has not yet contacted police who may have relevant information to please come forward and contact us. Information, including video footage, can be passed to us via the Major Incident Police Portal As always, my thoughts remain with victims and everyone impacted." Sarah Hammond, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS Mersey-Cheshire: "The investigation is at an early stage. Prosecutors and police are continuing to work at pace to review a huge volume of evidence. ... Please allow the legal process to take its course without undue speculation." [[United Kingdom|United Kingdom's]] {{w|Prime Minister}} [[Keir Starmer]] said the incident was "shocking." Liverpool FC is helping with the police about the incident, which happened toward the ending of the parade. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{Sisters|Wikipedia|2025 Liverpool parade incident}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/may-2025/water-street-update-liverpool-man--charged-with-multiple-offences/ |title=Water Street update: Liverpool man charged with multiple offences - 29 May 2025 |author= |pub=Merseyside Police |date=May 29, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250531223118/https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/may-2025/water-street-update-liverpool-man--charged-with-multiple-offences/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/may-2025/water-street-statements-from-assistant-chief-constable-jenny-sims-and-detective-chief-superintendent-karen-jaundrill/ |title=Water Street: Statements from Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims and Detective Chief Superintendent Karen Jaundrill - 27 May 2025 |author= |pub=Merseyside Police |date=May 27, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250528232343/https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/may-2025/water-street-statements-from-assistant-chief-constable-jenny-sims-and-detective-chief-superintendent-karen-jaundrill/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/police-incident---liverpool-city-centre/ |title=Police incident - Liverpool city centre - 26 May 2025 |author= |pub=Merseyside Police |date=May 26, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250601123913/https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/police-incident---liverpool-city-centre/ |brokenURL=true }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/liverpool-car-hits-crowd-arrest/ |title = Man arrested after car hits people at Liverpool FC trophy parade |author = Nicole Brown Chau, Kiki Intarasuwan |pub = CBS News |date = May 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250530203724/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/liverpool-car-hits-crowd-arrest/ }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/International/liverpool-victory-parade-car-strikes-pedestrians/story?id=122204179 |title = Driver strikes pedestrians at Liverpool victory parade: Police |author = Meredith Deliso |pub = ABC News |date = May 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250529045134/https://abcnews.go.com/International/liverpool-victory-parade-car-strikes-pedestrians/story?id=122204179 }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Liverpool F.C.]] [[Category:Liverpool]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:EventGryllidaTest/2025-05-26]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} fbe06j9v884046diqc4g9ilf77lfdsb 102 3015526 4860301 2025-05-26T21:52:03Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4860301 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 102 3015528 4860322 2025-05-26T22:05:59Z Gryllida 160590 Creating initial comment page from [[Wikinews:Commentary pages on news events/body|template]] (commentary header + useliquidthreads) via [[mediawiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js|EzPR]] 4860322 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3015581 4861288 4861287 2025-06-01T02:37:40Z Mtarch11 2809163 Reverted edit(s) by [[Special:Contributions/Remslyerr|Remslyerr]] ([[User talk:Remslyerr|talk]]) to last version by Gryllida 4861092 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 30, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Florida}} On Tuesday morning, Hollywood police reported that a body was found on train tracks in {{w|Hollywood, Florida}} near 3001 {{w|Florida State Road 820}}, also known as Hollywood Boulevard, shortly before 9:30 a.m. local time.

At a joint press conference yesterday, the two parties' leaders, {{w|Sussan Ley}} and {{w|David Littleproud}}, announced that the parties would be reuniting; with the Coalition being the Opposition, the two politicians also announced the new shadow cabinet at the same Wednesday's press conference. 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 May 20, [[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}} eh8cku0b0ncxhysf7axdiz0qvt568q1 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 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 4878839 4878838 2025-09-15T03:27:25Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Former United States President Joe Biden makes first public remarks on recent cancer diagnosis]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4878838 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|June 5, 2025}} [[File:2023 National Memorial Day Observance and Wreath Ceremony with President Joe Biden at Arlington National Cemetery, on Virginia, May 29, 2023.jpg|thumb|left|alt=Biden in 2023|Biden at the 2023 National Memorial Day Observance and Wreath Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia. {{image|3d U.S. Infantry Regiment "The Old Guard" from Joint Base Myer - Henderson Hall, Va.}}]] {{Infobox|Joe Biden}} On May 30, former President [[Joe Biden]] made his first public remarks since announcing his diagnosis of aggressive, Stage 4 {{W|prostate cancer}}, which has {{W|Metastasis|metastasized}} to his bones.

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. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] and [[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] would certainly have a better clue than I. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) '''Should we change our archival process so that reviewers can help admin in the archival process?''' === Questions and comments === * As I said at [[Wikinews:Admin_action_alerts#Request_to_archive_articles]], I am not convinced of the need for "later, post-archival review" in the first place.

Reviewers are already trusted to publish full articles independently. However, post-publication edits—often minor—are typically not self-sighted, requiring a second reviewer to sight them. 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.

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.

Stubs with a thumbnail and two sources are better than nothing, suspend the rest of peer review processes, and setup an autopatrolled permission for experienced editors to bypass peer review. 3. Main Page is to contain only events in the past seven days (sectioned similar to Wikipedia's Current events), each event is complete with the title (clickable), thumbnail, lead paragraph, and two citations. I believe this bold plan is very clear and straightforward to implement with sufficient support, and without any obvious drawback at least for a few while.

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 Renamed user 55097288ad7e1d57eb48444d55b4ce0a 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!

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 3016267 4870091 4863642 2025-07-21T18:15:40Z Rich Farmbrough 2484 /* Sources */ 4870091 wikitext text/x-wiki {{correction|date=June 12, 2025|explanation=The article incorrectly states the capital of Tanzania.

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’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.

Would something like [[w:Template:Category redirect]] be appropriate here? This way, something like [[:Category:Politics]] can continue to be empty, but at least exist as a redirect to the currently-used [[:Category:Politics and conflicts]]. 3. Something like the series of [[w:Template:R with possibilities]] templates could be helpful as a way of creating redirects in the moment, but making it clear they can be developed further later. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 18:09, 15 May 2025 (UTC) :It is needed to understand that there is a scarcity of content writers and reviewers. Your assistance with that editing of articles is very welcome. :Wikipedia articles are written differently. Verb tense and inline citations and they do not do "attribution" as consistently and they do not follow "inverted pyramid". I would not recommend to transclude. They are very different contents. :I have no position on category redirects. It is less effort to just use existing categories.

However, since our articles rarely use subsections, this may require structural adjustments. ::As for transcluding content from Wikipedia, we legally cannot do so. Our copyright licenses are incompatible: Wikinews uses CC BY 2.5, while Wikipedia uses CC BY-SA 4.0, which includes a ShareAlike requirement we do not support. The same applies in reverse—Wikipedia cannot reuse our content either. ::Regarding category redirects, I think that’s a solid consensus compromise and provides a useful tracking mechanism. One concern to keep in mind: many pages here are edit-protected to admin-only. In my view, this often causes more issues than it prevents, especially given how few active admins we have to handle tasks like archiving, deletion, and counter-vandalism. As part of any category overhaul, I suggest we also reconsider our protection practices—possibly lowering some protections to allow editing by reviewers, or even auto-confirmed users, to ease the workload and improve flexibility. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 21:50, 15 May 2025 (UTC) :::Changing categories of archived articles is a bit of a problem.

This is problematic, as these pages may contain discussions about unsupported statements that were never included in the published article, yet are visible in search results. Just as Wikipedia prevents indexing of BLP talk pages[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Controlling_search_engine_indexing#Biographies_of_Living_Persons_talkpage_noindexing], I believe we should have <code>NOINDEX</code> applied to of ''all'' of our talk pages, given our role as a news site. We'll remain transparent by having it all publicly available, just not (hopefully) indexed by search engines. The solution seems to involve namespace control[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Controlling_search_engine_indexing#Namespace_control], but I’m unsure how we would implement this or who to approach to begin the discussion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[[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 =

Indonesia had lost two defenders, {{w|Kevin Diks}} and his replacement {{w|Yakob Sayuri}}, due to injuries during the game. 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.

'''Updates for editors''' * For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released: ** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities. ** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. '''Updates for technical contributors''' * Developers who use the <code dir=ltr>moment</code> library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the <code dir=ltr>Intl</code> library or the new <code dir=ltr>mediawiki.DateFormatter</code> library. The <code dir=ltr>moment</code> library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console.

With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents]]. * The Wikipedia project now has a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q36720|Nupe]] ([[w:nup:|<code>w:nup:</code>]]).

We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation. You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

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. What would the abstract wikipedia provide in that example? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 15:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC) ::Hi @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], thank you for your intervention. The scope of Wikifunctions is (also) to provide language functions that can create full sentences in a given language, based on data taken from Wikidata. For example, a simple sentence like "Albert Einstein was born in Ulm". This could - if the local community wants - be used to kickstart new articles or pages, by reusing and reorganising automatically generated text, instead of starting from a blank page. I hope I answered your question.

Nothing will be used from other projects, therefore there is no problem with licensing, since we're talking about license-compatible material. Plus, mind that abstract text could be just a placeholder for something that ''might'' or ''might not'' be shown by your project, and that could be reused to kickstart a page on your project, again with no problem with current licensing.

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 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.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote.

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 on board, did not survive. Vishwash was on his way to {{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}} mrkingx9uaqviivdbnwrkrzvrjdlrne 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 4887074 4887067 2025-10-14T14:26:20Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 /* September 2025 */ add trailing pipe 4887074 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}} [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/April pub-rate report|Full report]] 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}} [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/May pub-rate report|Full report]] 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. Congratulations to the following contributors: * [[User:Oleg Yunakov|Oleg Yunakov]] (original author) * [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] * [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] * [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] The up-trend in page-views continues. This may support a hypothesis that an increased publishing rate contributes to an increase in page-views. However, this increase has come at the cost of more corrections, which are unforced errors that must be avoided in the future. == June 2025 == [[File:2025-monthly-pub-rate-june.png|thumb|left|alt=Graph depicting Monthly pub rate for 2025|Monthly pub rate for 2025]] [[File:2025-monthly-top-article-page-views-june.png|thumb|right|alt=Graph depicting Monthly page views of top article|Monthly page views of top article]] {{clear}} [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/June pub-rate report|Full report]] In the graph on the left titled "Monthly pub rate for 2025," there is an added metric; site views. This metric reports total page views for the Wikinews.org site. We're six months into the [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Monthly top article|Monthly top article]] challenge, and early signs point to modest but meaningful progress. Key metrics like total siteviews [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/siteviews/?platform=all-access&source=pageviews&agent=user&start=2024-01&end=2025-06&sites=en.wikinews.org], active editors [https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikinews.org/contributing/active-editors/normal%7Cline%7C2022-01-17~2025-07-11%7C(page_type)~content*non-content%7Cmonthly], and total user edits [https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikinews.org/contributing/user-edits/normal%7Cbar%7C2024-01-07~2025-07-11%7C(page_type)~content*non-content%7Cmonthly] are all trending upward. While page-view data has its limitations, for example it doesn’t show how thoroughly articles are read, it still offers useful insight into reader engagement. The upward trends taken together suggest a virtuous cycle: more published articles bring more contributors, which leads to more published articles. To keep this momentum going, our next challenge is clear: find effective ways to publish more articles, which will likely require more active reviewers, among other things. Hopefully the [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews]] will provide meaningful feedback that will help inform how we achieve that. This month's top article by number of page-views: ''[[Boeing 787 crashes into Indian medical school, killing hundreds]]'' with 3,666 pageviews as of July 11, 2025 Congratulations to the following contributors: * [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] (Original author) * [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] * [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] == July 2025 == [[File:2025-monthly-pub-rate-july.png|thumb|left|alt=Graph depicting Monthly pub rate for 2025|Monthly pub rate for 2025]] [[File:2025-monthly-top-article-page-views-july.png|thumb|right|alt=Graph depicting Monthly page views of top article|Monthly page views of top article]] {{clear}} [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/July pub-rate report|Full report]] Reviewer activity in July dropped sharply, likely due to the [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Only two reviewers published articles in July, the lowest level since February. While we did beat last year's average articles published and number of days with 0 articles, momentum has declined since May. April and May saw abnormally high publication rates, which likely boosted page and site views. Matching that output with high-quality content could significantly improve both reader and contributor engagement. This month's top article by number of page-views: "[[20-year-old astrophotographer captures rare solar eclipse on Saturn]]" with 3,583 pageviews as of July 31, 2025 Congratulations to the following contributors: * [[User:Frodo Maximus|Frodo Maximus]] (original author) * [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] * [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] * [[User:Ternera|Ternera]] * [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] == August 2025 == [[File:2025-monthly-pub-rate-august.png|thumb|left|alt=Graph depicting Monthly pub rate for 2025|Monthly pub rate for 2025]] [[File:2025-monthly-top-article-page-views-august.png|thumb|right|alt=Graph depicting Monthly page views of top article|Monthly page views of top article]] {{clear}} [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/August pub-rate report|Full report]] Over the past four months our publication rate has dropped from April’s high of 46 articles to just 9 in August, while zero-day counts have steadily risen to their highest point this year. Despite this decline in output, siteviews have remained strong and our top stories — notably the June Boeing crash and July Saturn eclipse — drew several thousand views each, well above the yearly average. August marked both the lowest article count and the highest zero-day total of 2025, underscoring a widening gap between consistent reader interest and falling publication activity. Reader interest (siteviews) trails publication activity by about one month. A big publishing push in April (46 articles) aligned with record-high siteviews in May. Likewise, as article output dropped in June and July, siteviews fell one month later. The more data we collect, the clearer the pattern becomes: consistent publication is critical to sustaining audience engagement. When output falls, the impact is felt in readership the following month. This month's top article by number of page-views: "[[Several people hospitalized after thousands of hotdogs spill following collision on interstate in Pennsylvania]]" with 2,685 pageviews as of August 31.

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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250614225023/https://www.kpbs.org/news/politics/2025/06/14/thousands-march-through-downtown-for-no-kings-day-protest }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250615025902/https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/no-kings-protests-san-diego-county/3847335/ }} *{{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= https://web.archive.org/web/20250615085744/https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/no-kings-march-downtown-san-diego/509-51aaf1b7-8d24-4e08-9a32-a0ea70cb9fb0 }} {{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}} {{Archived}} lkx6q0yn52ljxpuxw7k9dnlcsm24ks2 0 3016814 4878691 4878690 2025-09-14T18:29:46Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Hot air balloon crashes in Turkey, killing pilot and injuring tourists]]": [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|Archiving the article]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4878690 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|June 17, 2025}} {{Turkey}} [[File:Turkey central anatolia.jpg|thumb|left|alt=A map depicting central Turkey|A map depicting central Turkey {{image credit|[[Commons:User:Darwinek]]}}]] A {{w|hot air balloon}} crashed in central [[Turkey]] on Sunday, killing its pilot and injuring nineteen tourists from [[Indonesia]], according to Turkish media. The governor's office said in a statement that shifting wind conditions had affected the balloon. The crash occurred close to the {{w|Ihlara Valley}}, in Aksaray Province, according to the {{w|İhlas News Agency}}. Video from ''İhlas'', cited by the ''Associated Press'', showed the balloon's basket tipped on its side, with emergency personnel assisting the injured. Aksaray Governor Mehmet Ali Kumbuzoglu said the pilot was attempting to make a hard landing when he fell from the basket and his feet became entangled in a rope. He was trapped under the basket and died. This took place close to the {{w|Gözlükuyu, Aksaray}} village in {{w|Aksaray Province}}. The injured were taken to the hospital. The ''Associated Press'', citing the state-run ''Anadolu Agency'', reported that another tourist balloon made a hard landing the same day, resulting in minor injuries but no fatalities. Hot air ballooning is a popular tourist activity in central Turkey because of the area's rugged landscape, notably the "fairy chimney" [[W:List_of_rock_formations#Turkey|rock formation]]s of the {{w|Cappadocia}} mountains, which have been named a {{w|UNESCO World Heritage Site}}, according to the ''Associated Press''. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/turkey-hot-air-balloons-crash-aksaray-86f0384cb6221e75d25691e9e88f790f |title = 1 killed and 19 injured as a hot air balloon crashes in central Turkey |author = |pub = Associated Press |date = June 15, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250616024541/https://apnews.com/article/turkey-hot-air-balloons-crash-aksaray-86f0384cb6221e75d25691e9e88f790f }} *{{source |url = https://news.sky.com/story/hot-air-balloon-crashes-in-turkey-leaving-one-person-dead-and-19-injured-13383923 |title = Hot air balloon crashes in Turkey, leaving one person dead and 19 injured |author = |pub = Sky News |date = June 15, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250914182308/https://news.sky.com/story/hot-air-balloon-crashes-in-turkey-leaving-one-person-dead-and-19-injured-13383923 }} [[Category:Turkey]] [[Category:Aviation]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] [[Category:Indonesia]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} p6w9q8m6fbe7c4ew85a866ovdpg82ia 0 3016815 4863991 2025-06-15T16:12:10Z Crocusfleur 2824351 Redirected page to [[Russia launches full-scale invasion against Ukraine]] 4863991 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Russia launches full-scale invasion against Ukraine]] havcs72yb8wwta7flt1pwc0r1sp7nm0 4 3016817 4863993 2025-06-15T16:15:29Z Crocusfleur 2824351 Redirected page to [[Help:Redirect]] 4863993 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Help:Redirect]] egc0sqjx1ussprd4zho8uor1543pu4p 4 3016818 4863994 2025-06-15T16:16:12Z Crocusfleur 2824351 Redirected page to [[Help:Redirect]] 4863994 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Help:Redirect]] egc0sqjx1ussprd4zho8uor1543pu4p 0 3016838 4864127 2025-06-15T23:09:06Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Fatalities reported in helicopter crash in India]] to [[Fatalities reported in helicopter crash in northern India]] 4864127 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Fatalities reported in helicopter crash in northern India]] fepush9zhrg37c3uqpy56mjh68jh2px 0 3016839 4864129 2025-06-15T23:09:25Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Fatalities reported following bridge collapse in India]] to [[Fatalities reported following bridge collapse in western India]] 4864129 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Fatalities reported following bridge collapse in western India]] ftq8zgkxpqv8pvualj41rbee5nnzl31 102 3016870 4864221 2025-06-16T15:24:00Z 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]] 4864221 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3016881 4864247 2025-06-16T20:16:40Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Minnesota Democratic state lawmakers targeted in shooting]] to [[Police apprehend suspect in slaying of Minnesota state lawmaker]] 4864247 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Police apprehend suspect in slaying of Minnesota state lawmaker]] b1z0nwlwf8504j2z1bhek2ziayfuts2 0 3016883 4878834 4878833 2025-09-15T03:16:38Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[European road police launch DUI enforcement campaign]]": Archiving per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4878833 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|June 19, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Europe}} [[File:Dacia Duster, police municipale de Verdun.jpg|thumb|left|File photo of a police car in France. {{image source|[[c:User:Kyah117|Kevin.B]]}}]] On June 16, an international campaign to enhance traffic control started in 34 European countries that are members of the European Road Police Network (ROADPOL). The campaign, scheduled to run through June 22, aimed to enforce laws against driving under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances. The [[w:Ministry of Internal Affairs (Serbia)|Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs]] announced that on Friday, June 20, a 24-hour event referred to as an "Alcohol and Drug Marathon" would take place in 34 European countries. During this period, all available breathalyzers and drug detection devices would be used continuously on the roads. According to the Ministry, between January and May this year, 1,100 drivers were detained for driving under the influence of drugs, and nearly 4,000 were caught operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level above 1.20 per mille (parts per thousand). {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == * {{source |url=https://www.euronews.rs/srbija/aktuelno/173273/roadpol-akcija-pojacana-kontrola-alkohola-i-droga-u-voznji/vest |title=Međunarodna akcija pojačane kontrole saobraćaja u 34 zemlje od danas do 22. juna |author=[[w:Tačno d.o.o.|Tanjug]] |publisher=euronews|date=June 16, 2025|lang=sr |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250616205639/https://www.euronews.rs/srbija/aktuelno/173273/roadpol-akcija-pojacana-kontrola-alkohola-i-droga-u-voznji/vest}} * {{source|url=https://cyprus-mail.com/2025/06/15/police-to-conduct-intensive-operation-to-weed-out-drunk-drivers|title=Police to conduct ‘intensive’ operation to weed out drunk drivers|Author=|publisher=Cyprus Mail|date=June 15, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250616205640/https://cyprus-mail.com/2025/06/15/police-to-conduct-intensive-operation-to-weed-out-drunk-drivers}} [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Serbia]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} 88qa55djabyu8oku1alrfopp83nnw76 10 3016914 4864380 2025-06-17T13:49:34Z Md Mobashir Hossain 2887910 Page created with "{{#switch:{{{1}}} |name = Bangladesh |top = 26.634 |bottom = 20.743 |left = 88.007 |right = 92.673 |image = Bangladesh-locator.png }} <noinclude>[[File:Bangladesh (orthographic projection).svg|right|thumb|300px|Location map Bangladesh]] {| class="wikitable" width="240" |- | align="center" colspan="2" style="background-color:#DDD; color:#000" | '''Coordinates''' |- | Top || 26.634 |- | Bottom || 20.743 |- | Left || 88.007 |- | Right || 92.673 |} See {{..." 4864380 wikitext text/x-wiki {{#switch:{{{1}}} |name = Bangladesh |top = 26.634 |bottom = 20.743 |left = 88.007 |right = 92.673 |image = Bangladesh-locator.png }} <noinclude>[[File:Bangladesh (orthographic projection).svg|right|thumb|300px|Location map Bangladesh]] {| class="wikitable" width="240" |- | align="center" colspan="2" style="background-color:#DDD; color:#000" | '''Coordinates''' |- | Top || 26.634 |- | Bottom || 20.743 |- | Left || 88.007 |- | Right || 92.673 |} See {{tl|Location map}} and [[Template:Location map/permission]].

It returns <code>"true"</code> if <code>{{tl|verify}}</code> is present in the page's wikitext, and <code>"false"</code> otherwise. 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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250623011349/https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4222533/hegseth-caine-laud-success-of-us-strike-on-iran-nuke-sites/ |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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250623231630/https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-trump-bomber-news-06-22-2025-c2baca52babe915e033ae175ce8b2687 }} *{{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 = https://web.archive.org/web/20250622194255/https://apnews.com/video/the-us-is-fully-responsible-for-the-consequences-of-its-strikes-on-iran-irans-top-diplomat-says-1b8e0d9c94484ea785a0b4057191b10f |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}} {{Archived}} 47y8nv4ua4b4vq925q0sbxa1xhaca1u 4 3017213 4875108 4875105 2025-08-22T17:26:52Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 /* 8.

Confirm readiness for review == * Ensure the article is marked {{tl|review}}, not {{tl|develop}}. * Confirm you are uninvolved in the article's development. * Confirm the article has the minimum number of sources (Synthesis 2, OR 1) * 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]] #* If time allows and a contributor is responsive, flag unsupported statements and mark the article "not ready." If time is short or contributors are unavailable, remove any nonessential, unsupported statements and continue reviewing. # '''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. # Consider linking to our article from appropriate articles in sister projects. == 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 == * Prioritize newer submissions when multiple articles are queued. * Review improved resubmissions promptly. * If time permits and there are enough active reviewers, avoid publishing if you made substantive changes.

But, without this template, won't the corresponding "Comment:" namespace page be abandoned? Since the comment page is linked through this template, it might not be easily accessible otherwise. As far as I know, there aren't any specific guidelines about whether to use it or not, but I believe it has been a long-followed tradition.

Because of the auto-generation, the red is ''always'' turned to blue. I think it would be better not to do this. Because most articles receive no comments, the blue link could indicate those few times when another person has spoken and therefore conversation is possible.

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]]. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:09, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :'''Strong support''' This is definitely a step in the right direction. 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. But at the same time, Wikinews may need more refined ways to process information, so the Wikipedia standard should be seen more like a minimum standard. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:23, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :Part of what also needs to be looked at is the ease of editing and moving existing categories (since part of dealing with categories is subcategorization), though I am not sure how to phrase that into a policy.

The photographer, Adam Smadi, planned the image days ahead and took the image on June 1, 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. Smadi set up his 9.25-inch {{w|Telescope|telescope}} at about 1 a.m. PDT (08:00 UTC) 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. PDT (10:30 UTC), Saturn was high enough above the horizon to begin taking photos. He used a ZWO ASI662MC {{w|astrophotography}} camera with an {{w|Infrared cut-off filter|infrared filter}}. 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}}. Some viewers from forums and social media praised the image for its clarity and the effort behind it. {{haveyoursay}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|Solar eclipses on Saturn}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.wondersinspace.com/astrophotographer-captures-a-rare-solar-eclipse-on-saturn/ |title = 'Won't happen again until 2038': Astrophotographer captures a rare solar eclipse on Saturn |author = Nihal Sayyad |pub = Wonders in Space |date = June 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250711130345/https://www.wondersinspace.com/astrophotographer-captures-a-rare-solar-eclipse-on-saturn/ }} *{{source |url = https://petapixel.com/2025/06/25/this-photographer-captured-a-solar-eclipse-on-saturn/ |title = This Photographer Captured a Solar Eclipse on Saturn |author = Matt Growcott |pub = Peta Pixel |date = June 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250719120653/https://petapixel.com/2025/06/25/this-photographer-captured-a-solar-eclipse-on-saturn/ }} [[CAT:Space]][[CAT:Science and technology]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} 2lbjziong7ghgvnz54fbcsnfohmt5t0 90 3017548 4866369 2025-06-28T18:38:15Z 194.230.160.54 New thread: useless ... 4866369 wikitext text/x-wiki there is nothing newly researched in the story which not already was in published in other newspapers. i04d8c2z6lijsndudcdx22rlbuinaci 0 3017553 4866380 2025-06-28T20:12:59Z Darkfrog24 950005 Darkfrog24 moved page [[U.S. Supreme Court limits power of federal judges]] to [[U.S. Supreme Court limits power of federal judges to block executive orders]] 4866380 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[U.S. Supreme Court limits power of federal judges to block executive orders]] j0psi61x8711egkg59cvawqhahx7rmg 0 3017604 4878681 4878680 2025-09-14T18:15:12Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Archiving 4878681 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|alt=Beyoncé holding a microphone and smiling|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.

According to the Fusion Party's official website, the party was founded in 2021 through the merger of six former federal parties: the Science Party, Pirate Party, Secular Party, Vote Planet, and Climate Change Justice Party. The website states that the party bases its decisions on a "Value Framework," which it describes as a hierarchy of six core values, including personal liberty, progress, and ecological harmony. The majority of the following interview was conducted before the federal election. Since then, Fusion Party candidate Drew Wolfendale was not elected to the Senate. This article presents Mr. Wolfendale’s views in his own words. Statements attributed to him reflect his opinions and proposals and are not independently verified unless otherwise noted. Verification notes for some statements are available on the article's collaboration page. === Interview text === '''Reporters:''' Hi Mr. Wolfendale, please briefly introduce yourself. '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' When did you join the party? What motivated your decision? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' What is your contribution to the party? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' I led the development of the value framework which ultimately underpinned the formation of Fusion. :'''Note''': The Fusion Party's own explanation of the Value Framework makes no reference, explicit or implicit, to its role in the party's formation. It describes the framework as a policy-development tool rather than a founding principle. '''Reporters:''' Were (you/members of your party) successfully elected previously? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' No '''Reporters:''' 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.) '''Drew Wolfendale:''' Personally my key points are Tax Reform and Electoral Reform. '''Reporters:''' How would you suggest an average citizen to improve the performance of Australia in economical, scientific or political areas? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' What is your position on climate change? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' I fully endorse the goals of the Climate Rescue Accord. '''Reporters:''' What is your position on environmental pollution? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' We need to manage it, and we need to shift our focus to regeneration and restoration rather than prevention. '''Reporters:''' What do you think about public vs private schools? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' What can an average citizen do to improve the environment in regards to climate change or environmental pollution? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' Vote Better. '''Reporters:''' 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? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' How would you suggest supporting small businesses? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' How would you suggest solving the issue with affordability of housing? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' What is your position about the 'Made in Australia' campaign and/or tariffs? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. '''Reporters:''' Did your member parties have extensive collaboration before their merger? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' Extensive contact, but not extensive collaboration. '''Reporters:''' Does the Australian Pirate Party, a member of your party, maintain ties or collaborations with the Pirate Party International? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' Yes. '''Reporters:''' Does your party cooperate with any other parties, such as the Animal Justice Party (which supports animal welfare) or Federal ICAC Now (which advocates for anti-corruption institutions)? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' Movement- and coalition-building are very important to us, so we endeavor to cooperate with aligned parties wherever possible. This viewpoint appears to be quite unique to us, though, so who we cooperate with, and how successfully, varies wildly both by party, location, and time. '''Reporters:''' Anything else you would like to add? '''Drew Wolfendale:''' 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. Wolfendale concluded the email exchange by noting that additional questions may be addressed on the party's website when they have the capacity to do so. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{interview|media=email}} *{{source |url = https://www.fusionparty.org.au/our_values#the-framework |title = Our Values - The Framework |author = |pub = Fusion Party (Australia) |date = September 2, 2025 (date of access) |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250809122508/https://www.fusionparty.org.au/our_values }} *{{source |url = https://www.fusionparty.org.au/our_party |title = Our Party |author = |pub = Fusion Party (Australia) |date = September 2, 2025 (date of access) |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250619064527/https://www.fusionparty.org.au/our_party }} == External links == * [https://wolfofauspol.me/ The Wolf of Auspol], Wolfendale's personal blog [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Political parties]] {{Publish}} 2hqgw7yhoxyx3qckdm409wcj0sqiip4 0 3017620 4880221 4866609 2025-09-23T15:55:05Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[Interview with the president of the Fusion, answering common questions: Australia needs to break through]] to [[Wikinews interviews Australian Fusion Party President Drew Wolfendale]] 4880221 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Wikinews interviews Australian Fusion Party President Drew Wolfendale]] sna4cyst13a6k4to1347wzkjbce486l 102 3017663 4866683 2025-06-30T15:29:16Z 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]] 4866683 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3017669 4868525 4868515 2025-07-11T13:50:06Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 trim 4868525 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Template:2025 boost navbox}} [[:Category:June 2025]] Articles published: 17 {| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto" |+ Publishing reviewers for the month |- !

While there are several limitations to how we analyze and interpret page-views, such as the lack of insight into whether readers finished the article, and the disadvantage for articles published later in the month, the data still offers some value. Page-view trends can help us better understand reader behavior and the effects of our efforts. If current momentum continues, a reasonable next goal might be to surpass our previous monthly average each month, sustaining an upward trend. Though doing so will depend on having more active reviewers.

text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Reaffirming Core Policies: Verification, Copyright, and Neutrality Over Speed == I would like to raise serious concerns about the decision to publish the article titled "[[Competitive local elections held in England]]." In the initial review, later described by the reviewer as a "pass," the reviewer explicitly stated, "I haven't verified everything." Publishing unverified content is a direct violation of core Wikinews policy, as is knowingly allowing copyright violations. This article was published despite containing instances of unverified information, copyright violations, and non-neutral language. These actions undermine three of the project's core pillars: verification, neutrality, and copyright compliance. I believe we need to re-prioritize adherence to these pillars over the speed of publication. With so few active reviewers, our capacity to quickly identify and correct mistakes is limited. That makes it all the more important that we focus on getting it right the first time. Reviewers should also not be expected to fix everything alone. Authors also have a responsibility to rigorously check their work for neutrality, sourcing, and originality before submitting for review. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 18:16, 6 May 2025 (UTC) :I want to take a moment to sincerely thank both reviewers and contributors for the noticeable improvement in our collective approach to maintaining high editorial standards on Wikinews. Since these problems were identified and we started a course-correction, I’ve seen a significant reduction in problematic phrasing in submitted articles, which speaks to the diligence and commitment of our community. This progress is a testament to our shared dedication to upholding the core pillars of verification, neutrality, and copyright compliance. Let’s keep this momentum going and continue to work together to produce accurate, reliable, and high-quality journalism. Thank you all for your hard work! :I’d also like to encourage all contributors to review the proposed guideline at [[WN:Plagiarism]] and share your thoughts and suggestions at [[Wikinews talk:Plagiarism]].

Yesterday, at 7:00 p.m. (0900 UTC), he was arrested in {{w|Bundaberg West}} in the Australian state of [[Queensland]] and charged with two counts of accessory after the fact to murder. It has been alleged by police that he used Bishop's phone to interfere with the investigation. Mittelheuser has also been charged with unlicensed driving, fraud, breach of bail, and drug possession. Although Mittelheuser's matter was mentioned in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court today, he did not appear in court. He currently remains in custody and has not applied for bail. Nevertheless, Mittelheuser is due to appear in court on August 25. A brief of evidence for {{w|Accessory (legal term)|accessory}} after the fact to murder and fraud has been ordered by Magistrate John McInnes. James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, who were housemates of Phoebe Bishop, were previously charged with her murder and with two counts each of interfering with a corpse. According to ''{{w|Seven News|7News}}'', they are scheduled to appear in court in August. On May 15, Pheobe Bishop, a seventeen-year-old girl living in {{w|Gin Gin, Queensland|Gin Gin}} in the Bundaberg Region of the Australian state of Queensland, disappeared after she missed a flight from Bundaberg Airport. She had reportedly intended to visit her boyfriend in Perth, according to multiple news outlets. Police searches were largely unsuccessful until June 6, when police found human remains, which were later confirmed to be Bishop's. Police have continued to appeal for information regarding Bishop or the movement of a grey Hyundai IX35 from May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area. ==Sources== *{{source

(indefinite)) 4868458 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Disasters and accidents}} {{date|July 8, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> On Wednesday, July 2, a {{w|Ugandan}} military helicopter crashed at {{w|Aden Adde International Airport}} in the {{w|Somalian}} capital of {{w|Mogadishu}}. According to Ugandan military spokesperson Major General {{w|Felix Kulayigye}}, eight people were on board. Five passengers perished in the crash. The two helicopter pilots and a flight engineer survived the crash with "serious injuries and severe burns," as reported by the ''[[w:BBC|BBC]]''. The helicopter caught fire after crashing, though the fire was quickly brought under control by emergency personnel, according to Somalia's state-run news agency. Kulayigye stated that the crash would be investigated. According to the ''BBC'', Ugandan forces are part of the [[African Union]] mission in [[Somalia]], which has been fighting the Islamist militant group [[al-Shabaab]], an affiliate of [[al-Qaeda]]. The helicopter crashed during what Kulayigye described as a "routine combat escort mission." The crash delayed the departure of a {{w|Turkish Airlines}} passenger plane, while domestic flights continued operating normally, according to the ''BBC''. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwye0wggzzko |title = Ugandan military helicopter catches fire in deadly Somalia crash |author = Swaibu Ibrahim, Ibrahim Aden, Fardowsa Hanshi |pub = BBC |date = July 2, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250705084938/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwye0wggzzko }} *{{source |url=https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/news/east-africa/ugandan-army-helicopter-crashes-in-mogadishu-5103368 |pub=The EastAfrican |date= July 2, 2025 |author=[[:w:Reuters|Reuters]] |title=Ugandan army helicopter crashes in Mogadishu |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250703024033/https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/news/east-africa/ugandan-army-helicopter-crashes-in-mogadishu-5103368 }} [[Category:Somalia]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] [[Category:Aviation]] [[Category:Aviation accidents and incidents]] [[Category:Uganda]] [[Category:Military]] [[Category:Al-Qaeda]] [[Category:Mogadishu]] {{Publish}} 0d7m81wt18r0shzun8ziub7pkfjalc7 4 3017900 4871823 4871052 2025-08-02T03:01:39Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 1 thread from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous]] 4871823 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Tech News: 2025-23 == <section begin="technews-2025-W23"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

It would be similar to 'briefs', but would actually include a table and a recommendation to fit less than 200 words. Here is a proposed template: [[User:Gryllida/template2]]. If this is acceptable, this can be added to the main page and to [[WN:WRITE]] page. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC) :Example: :*[[Mini: G5 geomagnetic storm strikes southern hemisphere]] :Only 46 words. I'm thinking anything longer would already pose risks with reviewing. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:26, 3 June 2025 (UTC) ::To be quite honest filling sources for it was the most time consuming part. And even the table does not click properly, need to double click. Is this adequate software for visual editing...? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:27, 3 June 2025 (UTC) :::Maybe easier to work with [[User:Gryllida/template3-submit]] that. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC) ::Can you also include "How" (5Ws'''+H''')? The idea is pretty cool, and an added bonus is that it would allow for more reviewers to contribute, since the articles are much shorter and thus there is less stuff to verify; there could also be a system of 'limited reviewership' where people who want to become reviewers can start by being granted the right to review the 5W+H briefs. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:09, 3 June 2025 (UTC) ::::I think this is a better alternative to performing a 5W mini review. At least this way the 5W briefs would theoretically (hopefully) get a full and complete review. ::::However, a 5W brief article would amount to encouragement to read our sources rather than getting much meaningful content from Wikinews. A very brief article basically says; ''here are the basic details but go elsewhere to learn more.'' That, to me, does not represent quality and would not be a reason I would frequent Wikinews as a reader or consumer of our content. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 16:02, 3 June 2025 (UTC) :::::I mean, there are not many takers for the current content anyways; the project is in a death loop, hoping for some intervention which will somehow make the existing model make sense. I think in some ways, it's better to build up some momentum with this 5W+H briefs idea, even if just for a few months, and then see if enough new people show up to do the work of creating longer articles. I think it also makes some sense just as a way to create brief snippets of events and happenings in the world, which can play into both the "Abstract Wikipedia" idea as well as offering something to link to within the Wikinews ecosystem. If nothing else, getting people in the habit of writing the 5W+H briefs would train them to write better articles, and might spark fresh collaborative curiosity. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:12, 3 June 2025 (UTC) :::::Starting a "Wikinews shorts" section to the site would be similar to how many information companies are offering shorter content nowadays, like with YouTube Shorts or Tiktoks. The difference here is that Wikinews briefs can still be linked within the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, meaning that readers are able to quickly go from a brief overview of an event to very detailed content and details on its various aspects and contexts in any of the various sister projects. :::::I think a detail of implementation that might increase consensus for this change would be to limit the number of short articles/force editors to occasionally write a long article, in order to prevent this new feature from overwhelming the site's tradition.

That discussion has been ongoing for over eight months and includes specific, low-impact changes that several contributors are already using successfully. :Rather than introducing a new set of numbered proposals here, I think it’s more constructive to evaluate and build on the work that’s already underway—and to ensure that any streamlining of the review process preserves core standards like sourcing, plagiarism checks, and neutrality.

Our goal here should be to examine how we can streamline the review process without sacrificing key standards like plagiarism checks, neutrality, and proper sourcing. I’ve already made proposals in that direction, which are currently in use and being tested. Rather than continuing to debate procedural structure in this thread, I’d welcome broader input from others on how those ideas are working in practice and whether they address the core challenges we face.

If the community were to shift in that direction, it would require a serious reconsideration of our archiving policies. ::::In summary: ::::* '''I strongly oppose''' the "5w mini review" approach and any abbreviated review that sacrifices accuracy and neutrality. ::::* '''The review process is flawed''', but any replacement must maintain or improve quality standards, not lower them. ::::* '''The archive process conflict''' makes adopting a low-bar review process impractical and risky. ::::I welcome further discussion on how we can improve the review process, attract more contributors, and maintain credibility—but it must start with a commitment to accuracy and balance. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 13:00, 3 June 2025 (UTC);edited Removed bold. 15:23, 11 June 2025 (UTC) :::::@[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]], I agree the review process is a major bottleneck, but it’s also what separates us from Wikipedia and helps prevent ''fake news''.

Partial reviews, though well-intentioned, often lead to articles being published with unresolved issues around neutrality, attribution, sourcing, or plagiarism. With so few active reviewers, we rarely have capacity to follow up and correct these issues post-publication. It’s also worth noting that the mission statement at [[m:Wikinews]] does not mention frequency of publication. While I fully agree that improving the regularity of article output is important for the project's future, that goal cannot come at the expense of one of Wikinews' core principles: ''neutrality''. Prioritizing speed or volume over accuracy and neutrality undermines both the mission and public trust. I stepped back from earlier discussion because it had become a two-person exchange, and I felt the community needed space for other voices. I'm raising this again because the problem remains unresolved and directly impacts our review standards. Given the risks and our current limitations, we should immediately stop performing any partial reviews until a new, accountable process is defined that satisfies the mission and purpose of English Wikinews. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 01:49, 12 June 2025 (UTC) :Hello :* I'm afraid I need to disappoint you in your thinking that 'the problem remains unsolved'. The current situation requires full reviews. The proposed changes don't require full reviews; however, they are not currently in force. :* With that in mind, the best course of action for working with high quality and quickly is to get into as many '''real time comms''' as possible. My user page has a bunch of them. If you are on any of them, I encourage you to send me a private message and join a Wikinews-related group. Real time communication allows to tag the user and get their response in real time, and reduce delays. Despite Echo existing, with several users its output is delayed by hours at random points. I cannot rely on it every time. It also leaves the user without knowing what's going on with other articles than the one they've written or edited. :* There are ways to make comms kind of similar to a live chat group about Wikinews, but it would require copying messages from all talk pages of all articles into one water cooler. Or copying messages from talk pages of all articles about Australia to an Australia water cooler. The software is poorly adapted to this. The Wikinews live chat ([[WN:IRC]] works but is not friendly to beginners. I have setup Wikinews groups in discord and telegram and matrix, and messaging me on this platforms (my username on them is listed on my user page) means I can add you to these groups. Hope this is helpful. :* Next step I would like to suggest to have a routine at least 30 minutes a week. I'm routinely available at 5:30pm on Fridays Sydney time for a contact on any of these platforms. Every day I am contactable from 8pm to 10pm in my local time. The [[:w:Maemo]] community has had some success with monthly meetings. At a news site it would be ideally at least twice a week. For heaven's sake, this shouldn't be too difficult. Yet the wiki software lacks any kind of a scheduler, a shared calendar, a doodle, or anything of that sort. That's a shame. I welcome any suggestions what platform to use. :Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 11:59, 12 June 2025 (UTC) === Proposal 1 from Gryllida: shortcutted review with 5Ws and copyright verification only === {{flag}} I am proposing that a trial is done for 3 months to publish an article after verifying the 5Ws and copyright, without verifying neutrality and without verifying the items which are reported in the further paragraphs.

The following month, after the articles were published and in many cases archived, we identified plagiarism in five articles, four of which have been corrected: :* [[Nuclear negotiations between US and Iran commence in Muscat, Oman]] :* [[Explosion in Iran's largest port, Shahid Rajaee, heard 50 km away, leaves dozens killed, thousands injured]] :* [[Sandstorm in Iraq leaves thousands hospitalised]] :* [[South African Civil Aviation Authority attributes helicopter crash to 'unsecured' penguin in the cabin]] :A fifth article has yet to be corrected nearly six weeks later: :* [[Talk:Researchers film colossal squid in its natural habitat for the first time#Copyright material not removed]] :All of these April articles were edit-protected when checked for plagiarism, which significantly delayed the correction process. :One additional article—[[Competitive local elections held in England]]—was not yet archived when issues were identified and was corrected promptly for unsupported and biased statements: :* [[Talk:Competitive local elections held in England#Changes need to be reviewed and sighted]] :Today I identified and removed plagiarism from one article published in May and issued a correction: :* [[Massive power outage hits Spain, Portugal]] :That brings the total to five plagiarism corrections from April and one so far in May—just among the cases we know about. Do we really need to trial this method for three full months to see that it consistently produces low-quality, policy-violating content?

That said, the recent need to correct (not just a little) plagiarism in several published articles illustrates why certain core checks such as fact verification, plagiarism detection, and neutrality review can’t be optional. In that case, a decision to skip those checks created a significant post-publication burden and left policy violations publicly visible for weeks. While I agree the review process must evolve, I believe we should focus on streamlining it without compromising the basic standards that protect our credibility.

Not only one person writing and one person reviewing. Sorry about that. Two people usually do not succeed at finishing to a high standard and quickly, unless they are working in real time. If you want to keep the standard high, you need to be the one sitting in 15 social media and pinging each author on his or her favourite platform to get them alerted and involved. Just sitting on wiki, without a mobile app to buzz the user's ears off, and expecting magical quick work to prevent staleness will not work. ::::::In short, to get fresher news, in scenario above, responsibility to fix them up quickly will need to be shared.

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity. Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact. Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement. Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate. Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended. === Wikispore === The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects. After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support. We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future. As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting. Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed. === Wikinews === We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways. Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years. While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>]. [[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews. Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs. SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives. '''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to: *Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects, *Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace, *Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects, *Archive Wikinews projects. Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels. === Feedback and next steps === We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language. I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions. <section end="message"/> -- [[User:Victoria|Victoria]] on behalf of the Sister Project Task Force, 20:56, 27 June 2025 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:Johan (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Johan_(WMF)/Sister_project_MassMassage_on_behalf_of_Victoria/Target_list&oldid=28911188 --> == Tech News: 2025-27 == <section begin="technews-2025-W27"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The insights provided by the [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|Sister Projects Taskforce]] (SPTF) offer important context for understanding how Wikinews is perceived within the broader ecosystem. However, we are concerned that the framing of the SPTF report presents closure as a foregone conclusion. While many of the issues raised are valid and have been long acknowledged by our contributors, the report does not give sufficient space to alternative outcomes or paths forward. We believe that individual language editions of Wikinews may be in need of closure, but that certain editions—including English—have sufficient activity and quality to justify continued existence. We believe that there is nothing extraordinary about Wikinews among the various Wikimedia Foundation projects that requires special action and that closing or opening individual editions of Wikinews should follow the standard policy. We believe that a vibrant, effective, and organized revitalization effort is already underway on English Wikinews. In 2025, contributors launched the [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate]] initiative, which has increased our publication rate, deepened collaboration, and attracted new contributors[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:2025_Boost_publication_rate/Monthly_top_article/Updates#June_2025]. These efforts are volunteer-led, policy-grounded, and sustainable. We welcome external guidance and partnership to strengthen these efforts, particularly in areas such as: * identifying effective key performance indicators (KPIs), * evaluating successful models of collaborative journalism, * improving visibility and discoverability across the Wikimedia network and search engines, * and designing contributor pathways that support mentorship and retention. We also note that new ideas, such as [[m:Wikinews Pulse]], present promising avenues for extending Wikinews collaboration with Wikipedia. A project like Wikinews Pulse, especially under the proposed stewardship of [[m:Wikimedia New York City]], could offer significant benefits to Wikinews simply through sustained partnership and coordination between English Wikinews and Wikimedia NYC. We encourage the Task Force and Foundation to work with us in exploring these options before making any irreversible decisions about closure. English Wikinews remains committed to the Wikimedia mission, and we believe our project has a meaningful role to play in achieving it. == Endorsements == *—[[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> 20:39, 7 July 2025 (UTC) *:Don't close wikinews [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 20:40, 7 July 2025 (UTC) *::+1 [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 11:16, 8 July 2025 (UTC) * I support the response.

The proposal to close Wikinews outright, with no clear path forward, sounds atrocious. Previously, when they tried to close just English Wikinews, it was done differently: they were proposing to archive Wikinews into Wikimedia Incubator for inactivity, with automagical reopening as soon as it becomes active again.

His vehicle was reportedly airborne at two different points during the incident. He was said to have been in life-threatening condition. Police received calls regarding a crash and responded to the roundabout located at Adams Center Road and Wayne Trace at approximately 7:30 a.m local time (1130 UTC). Police found the man's vehicle hundreds of feet from the road. The man was reportedly driving at high speeds, swerving and passing other vehicles, according to police. The vehicle first went airborne after striking the curb of the roundabout, then hit a barricade marked 'road closed' and became airborne again before eventually coming to rest in a field. The man was hospitalized in life threatening condition at Lutheran Hospital.

After analyzing the issue, I’ve documented my findings here: [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The problem]]. I propose we launch a structured project this year to boost our publication rate. Revitalizing en.WN is key to attracting more contributors, which could take many forms. For example, we could: * Devise and expand in-line markup tools that facilitate communication between authors and reviewers, such as {{tl|verify}} and {{tl|PhraseReview}} * Run writing competitions or themed events to encourage more article generation * Improve how reviewers collaborate and communicate. * Update the appearance of our Main page and published articles, to include: ** New version of social bookmarks[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals/archives/2024/October#New_version_of_social_bookmarks] ** Include a byline for [[WN:OR]] * Update how we utilize Wikidata ([[User:Pharos|Pharos]]?) * Wiki News Flash (voting articles up/down) ([[User:Pharos|Pharos]]?) * Update and/or change the review process itself **Are flagged revisions the way forward?[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/technical/archives/2024/December#h-Can_and_should_en.Wikinews_be_revitalized-20241018191000] * Increase the number of active reviewers * Add ability to include video in [[WN:OR]] This project would involve both authors and reviewers. Broad feedback and input are essential, as no single solution will fully address the issue—it will require multiple changes. If there’s consensus to launch the project, I’ll create a central page to organize our efforts, similar to how we approached (or attempted to approach) the [[Wikinews talk:2024 Copyright license upgrade]] project. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 18:34, 30 January 2025 (UTC); edited 16:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC) '''Should we launch a project to revitalize ''Wikinews''?''' === Questions and comments === I also have a proposal: creating a single guideline/tutorial page that covers all the key aspects an editor needs to know; at least the minimum criteria an article must meet to be published. This way, editors can find everything they need in one place in order to write a "sufficient" article. The page will be simple to understand and can include some "To Do" and "Not To Do" examples. Additionally, we could develop an Article Wizard (similar to WP) to make the article creation process easier and more convenient. This might help new editors to contribute without feeling overwhelmed or demotivated. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 18:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC) : That tutorial page can also include a section on "What to do if your article gets rejected" in different scenarios, along with a step by step guide on how to resolve the issues.

English Wikipedia could not survive on new articles that went through the official Draft process. It's too slow, too much overhead, the role of reviewer is just inviting people to practice saing 'no'. I think to revive Wikinews you'll need more automation if you want to keep summarizing secondary coverage (high quality automated reviews and summaries do seem within reach), more of a focus on local/regional news, and on persistent beats; and more of a focus on OR. That's where I think WN has the most potential to improve on the existing state of the Web. : Wikipedias in most languages are fine places to summarize national / international news [at which point WN at best has a briefer, less complete version], and I don't think that's a great area for WN to host summaries. Really it's original regional coverage — of local happenings, of events and festivals and conferences — where WN can shine. Long ago I got press passes as a Wikinews editor; and lately I've helped with a few [http://wikiportraits.org WikiPortraits] events, which involves getting press passes to major events all around the world, to take photographs. The press-pass contacts at the events ''love'' it if people with passes were also writing up written summaries of the event... it's actually a bit of a challenge that we only take photos. So an event-focused beat on WN might attract people already at events to post articles. [I don't think the current Portraits photogs would be excited to produce news summaries here without a receptive audience among existing WN editors, but if there is enthusiasm and a more active pipeline in the future, it's an idea that could be revisited.] [[User:Sj|sj]] ([[User talk:Sj|talk]]) 04:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC) ::Thanks for the thoughtful input — there’s a lot of good insight here.

The proposal is: "[W]e launch a structured project this year to boost our publication rate." :In other words, we are voting on whether or not we want to coordinate our work here specifically to revitalize ''Wikinews'' by boosting our publication rate. :Once we decide we agree on [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The problem|the problem]] and agree to coordinate action by launching a project, we can start deciding what actions to be taken. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 18:37, 7 February 2025 (UTC) ::FYI for everyone, from my perspective, such a project is perpetually on. (If fiction is to be believed, there is a saying among military pilots, "Don't think, just do.", which I remembered when reading this discussion. (When reading the above, I've decided to click 'Subscribe' at all water coolers; why isn't this on for all users by default, and why can't an admin subscribe or invite selected users to that (perhaps with their consent)?)) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 02:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC) {{neutral}} I echo Gryllida's sentiment. Asking Wikinews members if they want to save Wikinews is going to result in "yes, we should definitely save Wikinews". I personally think a lot of the core issue lies in the fact that we don't have enough reviewers for all that many articles to not go stale and there still isn't a functional pathway to learn how to become a reviewer. This means that a lot of people who want to write articles will find they're not published because they time out, which is definitely a huge negative pressure on activity. Do you want to invest time and effort into writing an article (as I did, putting several hours into an article, and I'm sure this has happened to a lot of other people here) only for it to be thrown in the metaphorical bin after 7 days because no-one was around to review it? I feel the process to become a reviewer is designed to discourage people from applying and contributing more to the community, because there's no resource to learn the answers to the barrage of questions you'll inevitably receive. I know one of the reasons I'm not around here too much anymore is that I disagreed with the outcome of my reviewer application, and that by itself is fine, I'm comfortable disagreeing and then still editing. The issue lies that we don't have resources to effectively teach people how to review while having a massive reviewer shortage. I'm not here much because I have a major energy-limiting disability, and I cannot commit as much energy as I do into my articles without the decent chance they get reviewed. [[User:Asheiou|Ash Thawley]] ([[User talk:Asheiou|talk]]) ([https://asheiou.uk/calendar calendar]) 00:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC) :[[User:Asheiou|Asheiou]], thank you for the feedback. It does help. And for what it's worth; it has been my experience that once one becomes a reviewer, there still is very little help in learning the ropes. You basically have to learn by doing. There is also our issue of "institutional knowledge" which isn't contained in our policies and guidelines, making it very difficult to learn effectively. The best one can do is to read through past conversations and hope to get an understanding of the goals and desired outcomes. :If you are still interested in becoming a reviewer, I will commit to helping you however I can. What helped me to learn the ropes was using {{tl|Pre-review}} and trying to think like a reviewer. Having pre-reviews out there to point to in my request, I believe made it easier for me to demonstrate a willingness and ability to help others improve their articles, which is (in my opinion) the primary role of the reviewer. :Regarding your previous request for reviewer; it's unfortunate that you were caught in the middle of a difficult, complex situation. It feels like there’s some resistance to change, which I think is natural in any community. There may be a concern that the direction of the project could shift dramatically, leading to feelings of uncertainty about what might be lost. There’s also a great deal of respect for [[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] and the significant role they played in shaping the current state of en.Wikinews, especially with the modern review process. I do wonder if part of the resistance is tied to the fear of drastically altering what many consider to be Pi zero's legacy. Change can be hard, and sometimes it’s difficult to balance respect for past work with the need to evolve. :Lastly, regarding the vote on the proposed project: to be successful, we need to collectively acknowledge the problem and take concrete, coordinated action to address it. Sticking to the same routines hasn’t worked for the past six—going on seven—years, as can be understood when [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The_problem#Past_conversations|reading some of the past conversations]] we've had along the very same lines as the one we are currently having. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 15:18, 18 February 2025 (UTC) ::Thank you for your response. I'd love to actually be able to get things moving around here, so learning how to review would be good. The resistance to change is certainly something I've noticed, there's a strong ''"no"-culture'', where change is to be avoided until it is proven positive. This isn't inherently a negative part of Wikinews, but when things are clearly falling apart, rejecting change isn't going to help. ::I am currently stuck between about 15 different rocks and 15 different hard places thanks to {{w|Department for Work and Pensions|the UK's ''amazing'' bureaucracy}} ({{w|Student Loans Company|2}}, {{w|National Health Service|3}}), so that is eating up most of my energy at the moment, but I'll be around as much as I can afford without burning out. That'll most likely be more in {{template|pre-review}}ing than in writing articles, because I can't commit the energy to typing hundreds of words of my own at the moment. ::In regards to "concrete (...) action", I do agree that something has to be done, but I think a proposal to establish proposals to eventually maybe get a 5% change is the way things have always been done around here, and it hasn't been working. Making the site look and function a bit better still doesn't tackle the fundamental issue that we don't have enough reviewers and any new author is promptly scared off by the fact that nothing is ever written down here (on a project dedicated to writing, nonetheless). Getting a lot of the policy and convention that's currently in about 4 peoples' heads into a nice format for new authors and potential reviewers has to be a simple first step, at least.

Since at least one reviewer opposes the template, adding features that might increase cleanup work before publication could be counterproductive right now. :::Having said that, Gryllida's suggestion of the non-existent <code>myquote</code> parameter is a clever and pragmatic solution that will include the quote. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 15:00, 9 May 2025 (UTC) ::::Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] ::::I apologise for controversial or vague remark above. Here is a clarification. ::::1. Publishing without fully verifying is in my opinion due to the reviewer not volunteering to check each word. My workflow: ::::1a check copyvio vis link ::::1b check the 5W ::::1c read all sources to just ensure that there are no omissions that create bias (like in "researchers show chewing gum helps to increase focus" news there is important aspect that it was funded by a chewing gum company. or in "boy was put in jail" news, if a source says "judge released him a day after", this is important to include) if some such info is missing then flag it ::::1d read the article and remember it. read sources again. if, while reading sources, i realised that they do not contain some info, or contain different info, then flag it ::::So this is different from "read first sentence of article, scan all sources to verify it true, read next sentence of article, keep going to end" ::::Or from "read first sentence of source, read wiki page check it does not contradict and does include that info if essential, read second sentence of source, repeat til all sources are read" ::::(of the latter two algorithms, I prefer the first one. I sometimes use it when the wiki page is annoying. like political or a sport page full of sport terms. or a breaking news so i need ensure it did not morph into something entirely different 5 minutes ago) ::::2. I would think if a reviewer is comfortable reading source then there is no need for visual element. ::::I think in future communications we need: ::::1) some written disclaimer stating that the verify template is optional to use - (a) at template doc page and (b) at any discussion when users are pointed to it (and myself to stop saying there is only 1 person on wiki using it) and (c) as infobox on any article draft which uses it. ::::The disclaimer should probably say "Verify template is optional. More info can be found on docs page of it" ::::I personally continue to strongly dislike it and I think it harms the news writing -- and I would like to add this all to that templatedoc page one day -- because ::::1. adding it takes time, which we do not have ::::2. adding inline citation may create situations when a thing is not attributed "i added inline citation so why would i attribute it" well, if AP reported a thing and bbc reposted it from AP, then it is not independently verified, and in final version the text should say ", according to AP". ([[WN:Attribution]]) ::::3. if 1 or 2 sources confirm a statement, the reviewer still has an obligation to check tge 3rd, 4th, etc source to verify. For rare cases of "I cannot verify line 23 of the article '''anywhere'''" perhaps inline citation would seem to help but : there is chatgpt "which of sources 1 2 3 confirms quote xyz" to help you if you did not see it (I am hoping wmf will host a similar tool on its own infrastructure, for now i make do with what we have), and there is article talk page with a dozen people available to nearly instantly search anything you ask, including adding a new source, scanning existing sources or their archived versions, etc, which is a lot faster and time efficient. Besides, if a "thing" is not verifiable by an experienced reviewer, then it is a publishing issue: the text should say where a thing came from, if it is not stated in multiple sources. ::::4. Any article revisions, which need to be done '''timely''', become slow, because inline citations cluttered the text. They also become slow because for any thing I added, if I want Michael.C.Wright to sight the edit, I need to add an inline citation. ::::5. Noting that large articles are a pain to review, then I use either of the two algorithms mentioned above ie source scanning with anchoring on article or the other way around.

One of the other sources could be more up to date and more accurate. There was no publishing error caused by that so far but I think it is a risk I am not willing to accept. I am yet to see a rwviewer who follows the inline citations for reviewing. It is just another layer of work to specifucally check whatever was cited instead of checking everything.

But I wanted to share some of my ideas on improving Wikinews, particularly drawing from my Wikipedia experience. I will keep updating this as I learn about Wikinews: # I have given some ideas on the value of inline citations (at least during the review process) [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-GreekApple123-20250509022500-Michael.C.Wright-20250202232600|in an above discussion]]. # Vandalism seems like a problem this site is not equipped to rapidly handle at the moment. Perhaps there could be a way to expedite the process by allowing trusted users to effect 1-day bans on suspected vandals, which could then promptly be followed by a hearing process to determine the validity of the vandalism charge. There should also be a way to automatically undo all edits done by a user once they are determined to be a vandal. # I think having something akin to Wikipedia's [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Drafts|draftspace]] might be wise, as it would allow for a more free and focused creation of new/developing articles. It would also help to visually distinguish between developing articles and published articles when examining the URL or title of an article. === Categories === 1. A lot of the categories from Wikipedia probably need to be ported over here. For example, I began the work of creating categories for regions of Asia such as [[South Asia]] and [[East Asia]]. The amount of work involved is significant, and I'm willing to do some of it, but it might be best to have a structured discussion around how to do it in a desirable manner first. :There's a long-standing norm of creating new categories only after 3–5 relevant articles exist. I'm not sure of the original rationale, but I've generally followed it. While the [[Wikinews:Content guide]] suggests proposing new categories here, in practice, that rarely happens. :Another factor is that published articles are eventually protected, meaning only admins can edit them. Any large-scale reorganization of categories would require substantial admin effort—and we currently have few active admins.:I'm not trying to discourage you—just noting that, as seen in the ongoing discussion about <nowiki>{{verify}}</nowiki>, change can be difficult to push through here. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 13:26, 12 May 2025 (UTC) ::Hmm, this seems like something that needs more thought put into it. On Wikipedia, we sometimes have the opposite problem: we end up having deletion discussions for categories because they're so easy to create and add to articles. As a result, I've been thinking that there should be some kind of draftspace for categories to make it easier to collaborate around creating them. ::For now, I think a simple way to rework the process without so much effort would be to enable "proposed categories" that can be applied to developing articles. If enough of those articles are published (perhaps when the "3-5 relevant articles" threshold is reached), then: ::# The proposed categories become real categories. ::# The proposed categories become visible within the articles themselves. ::[[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:21, 12 May 2025 (UTC) ::{{Tq|While the [[Wikinews:Content guide]] suggests proposing new categories here, in practice, that rarely happens.}} One thing I would suggest is having a separate page altogether (under Water cooler or wherever) for proposing new categories, because there are so many possible categories that could be proposed and discussion around that may one day overwhelm all other discussion on this page. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 01:49, 14 May 2025 (UTC) :::If a category is needed, I'd personally (without having read documentation) suggest just making it and requesting edit at talk page of either the category or of a protected article.

But one thing's for sure, having a dedicated page/space for discussing that would be necessary if we run into significant issues in the future. :::::''Copying from [Wikinews:Categories and topic pages]'': {{Tq|A growing number of stories will quickly overwhelm any single category's ability to be browseable, and a deep hierarchy will both get overwhelmed eventually and be very tough to browse for stories.}} I think part of the answer might be to enable content in subcategories to somehow be visible at the parent category (optionally). Maybe this is a bit daunting to implement, but if we're not using the technology to optimize content retrieval from the categories, then I don't think we're really figuring out Wikinews's potential. :::::''Also copied from [Wikinews:Categories and topic pages]'': {{Tq|The latter [type of category] — in-depth summary coverage — should be created when a news item is either obviously going to require continuous coverage, or has already generated enough continuous coverage to warrant a summary page.}} This kind of thing could sometimes perhaps be done via template than category, though I am not sure what to suggest exactly. :::::{{Tq|'''Question''' Does an overhaul of our categorization process serve the immediate goal of increasing our publication rate of quality news content?}} We need categories or something loosely like them in order to collect data that can indicate broader trends in readership and content preferences, as well as just reminding ourselves of the various possibilities for new articles. For example, we can have a bot ping us when certain key categories have not had new content in over a month or something like that. (This is just one basic example, but my overall point is that categorization is kind of a must, because otherwise there is no ability to analyze or focus.) I don't think just having all the content kind of be mushed together on the main page is the right answer at the moment, and that approach doesn't seem to be exciting many others either. :::::{{Tq|Given the number of new ideas currently being discussed, it may be time to step back and prioritize.}} We can open a new section for that if you want. I wouldn't mind participating in that simultaneously, but I don't want to shut down the brainstorming of new ideas, as I think there is still a lot to ponder and imagine here. It's also just good practice to separate ideas for disciplined implementation from abstract ideation (rather akin to the split between an article-content page and its collaboration page).

That would result in one article being published every minute or even more frequently; if we picture what that looks like on the front page of Wikinews, it would essentially be like a global stream of consciousness being rendered into text. :::::So categorization, prioritization, etc. are necessary processes in writing news, and doubly so in a global context and platform. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:55, 23 May 2025 (UTC) 2. {{Anchor|Linking categories for news feed}}I think there should be some way to link categories together in a way where readers can receive a [[#News feed for readers]] of curated content that is particularly relevant to them. So for example, I published [[2025 Khelo India Youth Games begins, first time in Bihar|my first article]] under the categories [[Sports]] and [[India]]; on Wikipedia, I would've put them under [[w:Category:Sport in India]] or a subcategory thereof. Wikinews readers should have a way to 'chain together' categories, so that if a reader wants to know specifically about sport in India and not elsewhere, they can do so by maybe using a checkbox interface and selecting both of those individual categories so that only articles published under both categories will show up for the reader. 3. Something like Wikipedia's [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProjects|WikiProjects]] could be set up to allow editors greater fluidity and specialization in editing articles under various categories.

I am not sure if it ought to be required for readers to create an account to set up a news feed, or if there is an informal way to enable such a thing using browser cookies, but either way I think this would greatly help in making Wikinews content more relevant and easy to find. 2.

For example, if a reader wants to know about Africa and the United States, it is logical that they would be particularly interested in knowing about African-Americans. So as the reader selects the categories they want to be subscribed to, certain subcategories can become 'prioritized' over others depending on how many of the parent categories they fall under. This will also increase the importance of correct categorization and hierarchization of categories, as well as figuring out how to visually show all of these linkages and give the reader more latitude in deciding what to opt into.

According to official data cited by Reuters,the population of 16–17 year olds in the United Kingdom was 1.6 million, compared to the 48 million eligible to vote at the 2024 general election. Prime Minister [[Keir Starmer]] told ''{{w|ITV News}}'' that he supported the changes for 16 and 17-year-olds, "because they're old enough to go out to work, they're old enough to pay taxes," adding that, "I think if you pay in you should have the opportunity to say what you want your money spent on." Lowering the voting age was a manifesto promise for his party at the 2024 general election. A poll by Merlin Strategy for ''ITV News'' found that 51% of 16–17 year olds supported lowering the voting age to 16, and that 33% of 16–17s would vote Labour. The polling also found that, among respondents in that age group, former Labour Party leader [[Jeremy Corbyn]] was the most popular of the listed politicians. {{w|Reform UK}} leader [[Nigel Farage]] criticised the move, despite his party polling second place at 20% in that age group, saying that "I don't think you should be able to vote in an election unless you're also eligible to be a candidate, and I don't think 16 year olds should stand for Parliament." The plans were part of wider electoral reforms announced by the Ministry, including classifying bank cards as a valid form of voter ID, introducing {{w|automatic voter registration}} and restricting political donations. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/VotingIntention_MRP_250714_w.pdf |title = YouGov Voting Intention Survey Results |author = |pub = YouGov |date = July 22, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250715231253/https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/VotingIntention_MRP_250714_w.pdf |medium = pdf }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c628ep4j5kno |title = Voting age to be lowered to 16 by next general election |author = Becky Morton, Adam Smith, Jonelle Awomoyi |pub = BBC News Online |date = July 17, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250717102418/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c628ep4j5kno }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-lower-voting-age-16-landmark-electoral-reform-2025-07-17/ |title = UK to lower voting age to 16 in landmark electoral reform |author = Sam Tabahriti, Catarina Demony |pub = Reuters |date = July 17, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.itv.com/news/2025-07-16/votes-at-16-half-of-16-and-17-year-olds-against-lowering-voting-age |title = Half of 16 and 17 year olds don't want the vote, despite government pressing ahead with votes at 16 |author = Maya Bowles |pub = ITV News |date = July 17, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/restoring-trust-in-our-democracy-our-strategy-for-modern-and-secure-elections/restoring-trust-in-our-democracy-our-strategy-for-modern-and-secure-elections |title = Restoring trust in our democracy: Our strategy for modern and secure elections |author = |pub = Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government |date = July 17, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Nigel Farage]] [[Category:Jeremy Corbyn]] [[Category:Keir Starmer]] [[Category:London]] [[Category:Elections]] {{Publish}} tb2suxfzl36nkq3cdk30wjkx5dqpie5 102 3018824 4869428 2025-07-18T15:54:59Z 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]] 4869428 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 0 3018876 4878093 4874808 2025-09-11T14:22:52Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Jury convicts Minnesota lawmaker Nicole Mitchell of burglary]]": Per [[WN:Archive]] ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4874808 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|July 24, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Nicole_Mitchell_One_Minnesota_Budget_Bill_Signing_01_(cropped).jpg|thumb|left| Minnesota senator Nicole Mitchell in 2023 {{image source|Office of Governor Tim Walz & Lt.

Following her arrest, Mitchell told police that she was at the property in search of her father's ashes and other keep-sakes, though she ultimately did not use this defense during her trial. Her lawyer instead stated that she had entered the property to check on her stepmother's well-being, and that her actions did not constitute burglary, the [[Associated Press]] reported. Prosecutors, as reported by [[CBS News]] and the Associated Press, presented body camera footage of Mitchell telling officers, "I know I did something bad," and argued her recorded statements contradicted her trial defense. In closing arguments, Becker County Attorney Brian McDonald told the jury, "She said she was there to take items, and that readily proves her intent to commit a theft." The Associated Press said that the senator displayed little in the way of emotion as her verdicts were read aloud. She faces a minimum of 180 days in jail for the convictions. As of Saturday, a sentencing date has yet to be set. Governor {{w|Tim Walz}}'s office told {{w|Axios}} it anticipates Mitchell’s resignation. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/sen-nicole-mitchell-burglary-trial-verdict-reached/ |title = Minnesota state Sen.

The call was recorded and the recording can be found [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qyx-r9sTcCazbwfUeFP1oc_0o-DGvFEK/view?usp=sharing here]. I don't know if the July 16 call was recorded. I've tried to add context to my notes for others but please post any questions in the [[Wikinews talk:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews/Notes from July 17 call |talk page]]. The resources that Wikinews is 'taking up' that they assert could be better used by other projects is technical expertise rather than things like servers and bandwidth. On the call, they said we don't have a community that is organized well enough for them to effectively work with us on upgrades, etc. I would agree with this given our difficulty dealing with issues such as Robots.txt, our continued use of DPL and Liquid Threads, etc. ''Q'': How can we make wikinews more "compatible" with upgrades and changes pushed down from Metawiki * Lack of involved/active admins to help product development of metawiki * Need a stronger community to understand the impacts of such things Someone clarified the proposal to close is not about Wikinews being "small" * I understood this to mean we could be small but ''active'' and consistently publishing articles of good quality and not therefore not considered for closure. * I understand ''that'' to mean consistent publication of quality content is key to our future. They said some of the lessons they are trying to learn: how to fail (they already view Wikinews as a failure and are now considering how to deal with that failure) It was said that en.WN might be most healthy SEO is a significant issue (my note: we know Robots.txt isn't working) * Suman: Google not necessarily abiding by robots.txt and SEO * Google can not index every single page * If a website does not have a lot use/discoverability, it will be less-likely to be indexed. ** discoverability, search-ability, are cyclic. * end of July SPTF have meeting regarding preliminary results * Board meeting in August to discuss preliminary results and possibly make a decision. * Next board meeting in December * Victoria: Decision realistically to be made in December * Victoria: You should keep providing proposals/ideas By the end, I was ''a bit'' hopeful, after hearing that [[User:Victoria]] thinks the decision will realistically happen in December. That gives us a few months to continue our focus on improving our publication rate with [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate]] projects. But I would agree we have some heavy lifting to do.

Only two reviewers published articles in July, the lowest level since February. While we did beat last year's average articles published and number of days with 0 articles, momentum has declined since May. April and May saw abnormally high publication rates, which likely boosted page and site views.

AI should not be used to generate full articles, nor should it be relied upon for fact checking. The role of AI is limited to supporting human editors during the drafting and revision process. Final editorial control must remain entirely human. All facts must be verified by the contributor before submission and then independently re-verified by a reviewer prior to publication. ==Permitted Use Cases== AI tools can be helpful in various editing tasks, as long as the contributor retains full responsibility for accuracy, neutrality, and adherence to policy. Examples of acceptable uses include: ;Copy editing :AI can help clean up grammar, punctuation, sentence flow, and typographical errors. This is particularly useful for non-native speakers or when reworking clunky language in drafts. ;Neutrality and balance :AI can review article text and flag potential bias, one-sided framing, or missing perspectives. It can also suggest more neutral phrasing or help balance contrasting viewpoints. However, contributors must ensure that all edits maintain Wikinews' commitment to [[WN:NPOV]] and verifiability. ==Tips for Prompting AI Tools Effectively== To get the most helpful and policy-compliant results from AI tools, consider the following tips: Start by setting the stage: Paste in relevant policies, guidelines or full URL links (e.g., [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:SG]], [[WN:Plagiarism]]) before your request so the AI understands the editorial framework you're working within. Be specific about the task: Instead of vague prompts like "make this better," use focused instructions such as "check for neutrality" or "suggest improvements to grammar and sentence clarity." Request plain language: When appropriate, ask the AI to rewrite using simple, clear language to better match Wikinews' plain-English style. Critically review all output: Never accept AI suggestions uncritically. Always review changes for factual accuracy, neutrality, and clarity before incorporating them into a draft. == Avoiding Common Pitfalls == AI tools are prone to certain recurring issues. Editors should remain vigilant for: * '''Fabricated sources or citations''' (a.k.a. "hallucinated" references) AI tools will often invent plausible-looking sources that do not exist. Never use AI to generate references. Every citation must come from a human-located and verifiable source. * '''Overstated or speculative language''' AI may suggest phrasings that imply causation, exaggerate outcomes, or draw conclusions. Watch for phrases like "this caused," "resulted in," or "significantly changed," which may go beyond what sources support. * '''Inappropriate tone''' AI outputs can be too formal, too casual, or adopt promotional language. Always revise to maintain a neutral, fact-focused tone in line with [[WN:NPOV]]. == Suggested Prompt Templates == Here are some reusable prompt formats tailored for Wikinews editing tasks: * "Check this paragraph for neutrality according to the Wikinews Neutral Point of View policy." * "Rewrite this lede in plain, active language that follows journalistic style. Avoid jargon and use short sentences." * "Suggest improvements to make this article more concise and neutral. Avoid changing any facts." * "Can you point out any phrases that might imply bias or editorializing?" == When Not to Use AI == There are times when it’s better to rely solely on human judgment. Avoid using AI when: * Verifying quotes, dates, numbers, or names (always check the source directly). * Handling sensitive or legal information (e.g., allegations, criminal charges, or political controversies). * Transcribing interviews or drafting original reporting notes — these must reflect actual, human reporting. qahag2mpuuwdscz4un33maf86xaruh1 0 3019206 4870746 4870589 2025-07-26T10:02:36Z Xqbot 2790256 Fixing double redirect from [[WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan dies at age 71]] to [[Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan dies at 71]] 4870746 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan dies at 71]] g41vge6vmbtl1xyv40oufhleewrf1t1 0 3019209 4870615 2025-07-24T21:57:47Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [[WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan dies at age 71]] to [[Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan dies at 71]] 4870615 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan dies at 71]] g41vge6vmbtl1xyv40oufhleewrf1t1 4 3019276 4884932 4881828 2025-10-10T02:39:35Z Gryllida 160590 /* {{User-rights|Lofi Gurl}}, reviewership */ +1 4884932 wikitext text/x-wiki {{archive top}} Permission granted following 100% support in the below discussion for a few months.

''{{w|TRT World|TRT}}'' reported the killings occurred despite a ransom of tens of thousands of dollars being paid. Reports put the death toll at 33 or 35. The hostages were "slaughtered like rams," according to Manniru Haidara Kaura, chairman of the local government there. She added that most of those killed were young. She said, "Only they [the gunmen] know why they killed them. They are senseless and heartless people. They forget that they are killing their own brothers, and we will all meet before Allah." The individuals reportedly abducted between 51 and 56 victims in February, according to differing reports, and Haidara said eighteen hostages were released.

The drafter (myself) couldn't tell what he was talking about. Think "Yeah, that's what I said" situation. Instead of making the reviewer's desired changes, I had to ask what those desired changes were and then wait days for an answer. Even once I got that answer, I'm still not sure exactly what the problem is supposed to be. I think it's a matter of interperting what I wrote differently (which isn't bad; if a reviewer interprets the text one way, then it's reasonably likely that at least some of the readers would too). I ended up just cutting most of the text. I think we should encourage reviewers to make changes like this themselves, acknowledging that this moves them from that article's review team to its draft team and that some other reviewer must hit "publish." * This would prevent multi-day delays like the one experienced here. * The whole idea behind not allowing reviewers to review articles to which they've made big changes is that this makes them too invested. If a given change is the reviewer's brainchild, then that reviewer is invested, even if someone else actually enacted said change. So, in articles like this one, we lose nothing. *The result would be that the average number of skilled Wikinewsies who work on each published article goes up, and that's a huge part of our value relative to Wikipedia&mdash;a subject currently under debate on Meta.

[[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 19:35, 30 June 2025 (UTC) * {{comment}} The statement “This would prevent multi-day delays like the one experienced here” assumes that there will be other reviewers available to step in. On weekends, as was the case with the article in question, that’s often not true. : While it’s accurate that encouraging reviewers to edit articles can increase the number of skilled contributors per piece, it also reduces the pool of reviewers eligible to complete the review. Since publication depends on having qualified reviewers, and those are a finite resource by design, actions that preserve reviewer capacity may better support timely publication, especially during periods of low reviewer availability. : {{tq|I'd rather lose an article because there was only one reviewer available than because we went back and forth until it timed out.}} In this case, you made changes and resubmitted the article within hours, which is good. But no other reviewer stepped in after that. That isn’t a reflection on my review. If it had been off-base, another reviewer could have published the article, responded on the talk page, or otherwise moved it forward. The fact that none of that happened suggests no other reviewer was available at the time. : To me, this highlights an ongoing issue: we're operating with too few active reviewers. I did consider making the change myself but ultimately decided not to risk disqualifying myself from reviewing. That decision was influenced in part by the fact that an article I authored three days ago is still waiting for review, which suggests that reviewer capacity is currently very limited. : This would actually be an argument in favor of [[Wikinews:Flagged_revisions/Requests_for_permissions#Darkfrog24_(talk_%C2%B7_contribs_%E2%80%93_Edit_rights),_reviewership|your request for reviewer]]. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 20:38, 30 June 2025 (UTC) ::Yes, but the fact that those changes were (and were they?)

Under current policy, the use of Role accounts is discouraged unless explicitly permitted by community consensus: <blockquote style="margin-left: 1em;">The community may, by consensus, grant exceptions for specific role accounts. This is expected to be infrequent. — [[WN:ROLE]]</blockquote> The stated purpose of this account is to submit content related to the artist’s work. However, this raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest under [[WN:COI]], as the account appears to be promotional in nature. The article submitted by the account titled "[[ALI D (FOREALID) begins shooting new film after VEVO debut]]" is based largely on social media posts and lacks sourcing from independent, reputable news outlets. Its tone also leans promotional rather than journalistic. The article does not clearly establish why this event matters now. Starting production on a film, especially without details such as title, plot, cast, or distribution, does not inherently constitute a news event unless it has significant public interest or impact. Before proceeding with further contributions from this account or a full review of the draft article, we should determine whether the community supports an exception to the Role account policy in this case. Input is welcome on whether the use of this account aligns with our editorial standards and whether an exception should be granted. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 15:14, 19 May 2025 (UTC) :I was contacted off-wiki by the account via email seeking guidance on how to ensure their articles align with Wikinews standards.

While I appreciate your engagement on this issue, I’d like to clarify that decisions about role accounts exemptions are not made unilaterally. As per [[WN:ROLE]], an exemption may be granted if ''the community'' supports it. This means we should discuss and decide together, rather than taking individual actions. ::Of course, @[[User:Forealid|Forealid]] could choose to create individual accounts on their own and notify us here that this exercise isn’t necessary, which would likely be faster and easier. ::In the meantime, let’s allow the discussion to continue and give others the opportunity to contribute.

It was my note based on my understanding of policy. (I am disappointed that it was not obvious from what I wrote. Your interpretation sounds insulting to me.)

I would like to hear other opinions before sharing my own. I will say (as I alluded to above) that the contributions made by the account so far have amounted to promotional content, which is forbidden by our [[WN:COI]] policy. ::::Therefore, even if the community decides to allow a role account in this case (which is allowed by our policy), then all contributors to that role account must understand and abide by our PaGs. ::::Regarding your comment about policies, I think there might be some confusion. Role accounts are not strictly prohibited by our policy. Exemptions are expressly permitted if the community agrees. And even with exemptions, role accounts must still comply with PaGs.

This particular proposed role account would be "for a team promoting the work of artist Ali DAMICHE", which makes it sound as though their edits would be to promote him, thus violating [[Wikinews:Conflict of interest]].

believe Wikinews is either in an existential crisis or its final chapter. Without major changes, we remain largely irrelevant. We need new voices and fresh ideas to move forward."}} - If this is the case, which to some extent, isn't completely wrong, then maybe it's time we ask for help from our sister projects and from other language editions of Wikinews. By '''"help"''' I mean something like a '''community-based survey''' or study. The goal would be to understand how to save Wikinews — or maybe how to restructure it. We need to identify what's going wrong, and what potential solutions might exist. We could even request a global banner to draw in editors from across the Wikimedia movement to participate in the survey or discussion. Based on the results, we could move forward with implementing possible solutions (if there are any!) across all Wikinews editions, and try to work collectively to make things better. We could also reach out to the WMF's Community [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Legal/Community_Resilience_and_Sustainability Resilience and Sustainability], [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Communications/Movement_Communications Movement Communications], or [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy Movement Strategy] teams: maybe they could help with technical support, outreach, or even just coordination. Anyway, this is just some brainstorming I had and wanted to let out. Now that I think about it more deeply... it does sound like a lot of work though :] [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 17:09, 11 May 2025 (UTC) :As an editor of bnwikinews and enwikinews. I completely agree with your proposal, but I am not sure about the responses of the Wikimedians. [[User:Md Mobashir Hossain|Md Mobashir Hossain]] ([[User talk:Md Mobashir Hossain|talk]]) 15:29, 12 May 2025 (UTC) :There is a burn out when someone tried to start working on news every day. Then walks away and there is nothing to motivate coming back. I am not sure how to resolve this. I am trying some software to notify users of new articles and new (as specific as possible) revision requests. Do you have something else in mind that could help? Can you ask a journalism teacher at your local university for feedback? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 14:30, 13 May 2025 (UTC) :I think a major part of what needs to be surveyed/clarified is, "Why would readers choose Wikinews over other news sources?" At Wikipedia, we often speak in terms of how to best serve the readers, and I don't see quite the same level of focus on that here. While I respect that procedures have to be followed and core principles respected, I think there also needs to be a more explicit figuring out of and focusing on what Wikinews readers want to see next. :It seems to me that anyone clicking on Wikinews rather than another news source is probably looking for things like: :# Wiki features (such as hyperlinks and easy navigation) :# Neutral collation of all available and relevant information sources :# Rapid evolution and iteration (both of articles and the content displayed throughout the overall site) :[[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 01:55, 14 May 2025 (UTC) ::there are a few unique parameters: ::* content type: interviews, original reporting, and news which are very local. cannot be added to wikipedia. this is for scope. ::* also for content: i like it very much that first paragraph answers 5W as it is super clear and i've not seen even one news site that does this. ::* for educators wikinews is useful as they can ask a journalism class to come here and write news for homework, and someone would peer review them; that's a feature most news sites don't provide. the students become equipped with news analysis skills where they don't blindly believe anything. this was done at university of wollongong until the lecturer retired. alas, nobody has tried to setup it with other universities. in my personal view this is a possibility. ::* for educators: improves students english, so now only for journalism but also reading and writing practice. in my view this is a strong attack vector for engaging high school students. ::* (also for media students can help as they could prepare reports in video format, alas we don't have much videos. most news outlets film videos on the spot. this could be resolved by making videos from a series of pictures like map of location and a photo provided in article, with a narrator. i think a computer software could generate a talking head for this, but recently in technical water cooler or somewhere audio wikinews was attempted via text to speech and it was hard because it didn't have a second voice for quotes. this too could be an interesting exercise for a person who does audio creation or editing.) ::hope it helps. please let me know if you have some other perspective on this. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:21, 15 May 2025 (UTC) :::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] Really, as an educator wikinews is very helpful for me. I am learning a lot of things from this site. '''I love Wikinews!''' [[User:Md Mobashir Hossain|Md Mobashir Hossain]] ([[User talk:Md Mobashir Hossain|talk]]) 06:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC) ::::I personally am not at all convinced that we should promote ''Wikinews'' as any kind of educational tool right now. We have neither the consistency nor rigor required to effectively promote our content as an example of how journalism should be done. We are currently incapable of handling breaking news, our original reporting is minuscule compared to synthesis work, our policies and guidelines are old and very often unclear, ineffective, problematic, (see Gryllida's [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Suggest_to_shorten_+_separate_requirements_from_fixables recent comment here]) etc. ::::I believe [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] is on to something in trying to understand what makes us unique and desirable compared to other news sources. Wiki-functions are a good example. I would hedge that by also saying that Wikinews and Wikipedia are not only competing as content providers, but there is some historic 'bad blood' between the two that needs to be overcome, if possible. Our CC licenses are incompatible and neither side considers the other as a valid source. Those are going to be difficult issues to surmount. ::::I wonder if we're better off focusing our very limited time and energy on improving our policies, guidelines, and procedures with an eye on page-views, not as an end to a means, but as an easily measurable metric to use as guidance. This is not to say we start using click-bait titles, or other schemes, but to say page-views is the end goal and a good measure of our success. I propose we prioritize getting better data regarding articles, page-views, categories used and read, etc. ::::Using crude and minimal data, one might argue our page-views are increasing right now primarily because we are publishing more articles than our 2024 monthly average. We are currently looking at a roughly 12% increase in views from January to April 2025.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:2025_Boost_publication_rate/Monthly_top_article#Past_Winners] To maintain this trend, I believe we need more active reviewers as well as a careful redefinition of our review process. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 17:05, 17 May 2025 (UTC) :::::It is not a call for action, but an overview of potential usefulness.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:45, 18 May 2025 (UTC) :I think another thing to interrogate is "Why would any search engine prioritize Wikinews articles over other news sources?" Part of what made Wikipedia grow so much is that search engines identified that it had a great ability to organize information due to its wiki format and extensive hyperlinking, so they would generally put Wikipedia articles at the top of search results. :And is there any way Wikinews could someday become more deeply integrated into search results or other live information-displaying platforms? [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 05:40, 23 May 2025 (UTC) ::Wikipedia’s visibility owes much to this partnership: [[m:Overview of Wikimedia Foundation and Google Partnership|Overview of Wikimedia Foundation and Google Partnership]]. As I understand it; when someone searches for an individual who lacks a personal website (as one example), Google may highlight their Wikipedia article, especially a BLP, at the top of results. More recently, AI-powered search summaries often surface excerpts from those BLPs. ::In theory, we could propose a similar arrangement for Wikinews articles. However, I strongly oppose doing so at this time. I don’t believe our current output meets a standard of quality that merits such high visibility. Before seeking external support or integration, I believe we must first focus on raising the quality of our published work and improving page-views organically. That would make any future request for broader support more credible and better-justified. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 14:31, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :::Yeah @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], But I have not any oppose to it.

[[User:Md Mobashir Hossain|Md Mobashir Hossain]] ([[User talk:Md Mobashir Hossain|talk]]) 14:35, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :::I understand it may be too early for formal measures like this. But in addition to tracking page views, it's good to start coming up with metrics/ways to track the usefulness of the information and structure given to the information that Wikinews is powering the delivery of. If a search engine wants to grab data from a 10-year old Wikinews article for example, then is there a good enough protocol and minimum essence to how Wikinews works that such a thing would work seamlessly? It should be possible to answer such questions with some kind of metric-type answer. :::The [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)|discussion taking place around "Abstract Wikipedia"]] is the kind of thing that might offer some answers on what Wikinews means in a broader Wikimedia ecosystem, if not in a broader news and information ecosystem. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 23:52, 23 May 2025 (UTC) :I think part of the challenge should revolve around figuring out Wikinews's responsibility. News outlets generally have responsibilities to some kind of constituency, such that if they don't cover news in a timely or reasonable way, they are trashed by their stakeholders. What are the things Wikinews - and by extension, its contributors - is responsible for achieving in a global context, which can later be held up by Wikinewsies in defense of the work they are doing? [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 22:02, 30 May 2025 (UTC) :Well, it's not exactly a survey, but there is [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Future of Wikinews|an ongoing consultation]] being planned regarding Wikinews.

Several people were injured in the incident and were treated at York Hospital, although authorities later said that those were not life threatening. The tractor trailer split open after a mechanical issue resulted in the truck brushing against a concrete divider, resulting in boxes of frozen hotdogs spilling out. According to the owner of a business located near the crash site: "We heard a loud bang, and then we heard about three more loud bangs. We knew it was a tire first, blowout here on 83. But then after that, we knew there was some other type of accident because it went on for a minute or two." The wieners were smashed along the road. A photo posted by Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company showed a damaged concrete divider in the incident. The spill stopped traffic in both directions, and commutes were delayed by "at least a half an hour," according to ''The Independent''. The lanes reopened later that afternoon. Cleanup efforts extended into the late morning hours, and allegedly involved rakes. Brad Dauberman, who serves as {{w|Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania}} fire company chief described the cleanup process: "Once those [dogs] leave the truck and hit the road, that’s all garbage, and it’s still pretty warm. [...] I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery. I did not know that." Dauberman also stated that in order to complete the task, they were required to use a {{w|front-end loader}} in order to scoop up clods of meat to be jettisoned into a dump truck. In total, over one thousand pounds of hotdogs were lost in the spill.

Starting July 26, and running each Saturday through the end of August, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. local time (11:00–19:00 UTC), select roads were closed to cars for the city's annual Summer Streets program, with a continuous route stretching across Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge up to {{W|Inwood, Manhattan|Inwood}} included for the first time, according to ''{{w|NBC New York}}''. Summer Streets will return along the same path on August 9 and 16, and to two small routes in Brooklyn and the Bronx on August 23, the outlet reported. People gathered throughout the day along parts of the route where programming was set up. At intervals along the trail were side streets also devoid of cars, each having something to do to encourage residents to socialize and hang out. Some had stages with live music and performances, and many others had arts and crafts tables. Some places along the route had water bottle refilling stations.

In {{W|Mitchel Square Park}} on 167th St., a Brooklyn game store offered a {{W|Settlers of Catan}} board game setup. At the northern end of the path, in {{W|Anne Loftus Playground}}, part of {{W|Fort Tryon Park}}, bands with HONK NYC performed while children played in the wading pool. New Yorkers cycled, ran, rollerbladed, and used scooters along parts of the route. The temperature stayed in the mid-70s Fahrenheit (around 24°C) with light winds and partly sunny skies. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{Original}} *{{source |url = https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-summer-streets-this-weekend-list/6345542/ |title = Summer Streets returns to NYC this weekend with a brand-new route.

The court determined they did not meet the minimum six-month remand period required for bail. According to the ''{{w|Daily Monitor}}'', members of Uganda’s legal community expressed concern over the ruling, describing it as inconsistent with prior precedent. The paper said that, in its view, Senior Counsel Peter Walubiri criticised Justice Baguma’s decision, interpreting it as favoring the state for its prior detention of Dr Besigye and expressing disapproval of the judge’s conduct. {{w|Nicholas Opiyo}}, another lawyer, suggested the ruling reflected political pressure, referencing past criticism by President {{w|Yoweri Museveni}}, who has accused judges of being too lenient in granting bail. "It seems the Judiciary has caught a cold following the scorn by the President not to grant bail in certain cases," he said. Besigye’s lawyer Lukwago likewise condemned the ruling as "disastrous". The pair's legal team, formed by Senior Counsel {{w|Martha Karua}}, {{w|Erias Lukwago}}, Frederick Mpanga, {{w|Luyimbazi Elias Nalukoola}} and Ernest Kalibala, argued that their remand period started when they were first detained on November 20, 2024, reaching the six-month requirement by the time they requested the bail application on May 28, 2025. The two prosecutors, Assistant {{w|Director of Public Prosecutions}} (DPP) Thomas Jatiko and Chief State Attorney Richard Birivumbuka, countered their arguments, stating that the DPP was not in charge of the case during the period it was brought before the court martial, and that the actual starting time was February 21 when the pair were formally charged with treason at the Chief Magistrate's Court in {{w|Nakawa}}. Justice Emmanuel Baguma decided in favor of the prosecution, stating: "It [the evidence before the court] shows that the charges were read to the applicants on February 21, 2025. No cogent evidence was presented to this court to prove the period the applicants claim to have spent in the General Court Martial." Baguma clarified that the court could not rely on information available in the public domain but not presented as evidence, as doing so would amount to improperly gathering evidence on its own. However, he also recognised that the applicants' trial would be fast-tracked under ''High Court Session Case No. 335 of 2025'' in the "interest of justice for both parties." In a post on social media, {{w|Winnie Byanyima}}, Besigye’s wife, said he and Lutale were arrested by eight men presenting themselves as Kenyan police officers, four of whom took them to Uganda in a vehicle. According to {{w|Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda}}, spokesperson for the People’s Front for Freedom, they were transported through the [[w:Malaba, Uganda#One stop border crossing|Malaba border post]] without stopping for routine security checks. According to the ''BBC'', Besigye was not seen in public for four days, reappearing on November 20 at the court martial. They face four charges, including possession of two pistols and ammunition, as well as allegedly attempting to acquire weapons from foreign sources in Geneva, Athens, and Nairobi. Both Besigye and Lutale denied all charges. Uganda's {{w|Ministry of ICT and National Guidance}}, {{w|Chris Baryomunsi}}, said the operation was conducted with the help of Kenyan authorities, though officials in Nairobi denied any awareness of it. According to ''BBC'', reports indicate the arrests had been planned for months, with the assistance of individuals close to them. Besigye is a four-time challenger against President Museveni, who came to power in 1986, and previously served in the {{w|Uganda People's Defence Force}} as general; he recently launched his PFF party in Kampala on July 8. According to ''Reuters'', critics of the government, including opposition leader {{w|Bobi Wine}} and rights groups, have expressed concern that the case signals a potential crackdown on the opposition ahead of the {{w|2026 Ugandan general election|next general election}}, in which President {{w|Yoweri Museveni}} is expected to seek re-election. == Related news == *{{Wikinews|title=Activists claim sexual abuse and torture at the hands of Tanzanian authorities|date=June 6, 2025}} == Sources == *{{Source |url = https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/national/lawyers-criticise-judges-for-denying-besigye-bail-5150490 |title = Lawyers criticise judges for denying Besigye bail |author = Anthony Wesaka |publisher = Daily Monitor |date = August 11, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250812180828/https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/national/lawyers-criticise-judges-for-denying-besigye-bail-5150490 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/national/court-dismisses-besigye-and-lutale-mandatory-bail-bid--5148126 |title = Why court threw out Besigye bail request |author = Juliet Kigongo |publisher = Daily Monitor |date = August 10, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/Ck2go }} *{{Source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/ugandan-court-denies-bail-veteran-opposition-leader-treason-case-2025-08-08/ |title = Ugandan court denies bail to veteran opposition leader in treason case |author = Elias Biryabarema, Hereward Holland, Alison Williams |publisher = Reuters |date = August 8, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/aZmhS }} *{{Source |url = https://apnews.com/article/uganda-kizza-besigye-new-party-prison-opposition-8d615fe9288ec37668854580986bab9d |title = Behind bars, Ugandan opposition figure Besigye launches a new political party |author = Rodney Muhumuza |publisher = Associated Press |date = July 8, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250709110653/https://apnews.com/article/uganda-kizza-besigye-new-party-prison-opposition-8d615fe9288ec37668854580986bab9d }} *{{Source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8x3vr6zj2o |title = How a Ugandan opposition leader disappeared in Kenya and ended up in military court |author = Wycliffe Muia |publisher = BBC News Online |date = December 2, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250726035910/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8x3vr6zj2o }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Kenya]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Right to a fair trial]] [[Category:Uganda]] {{Publish}} k10kdv991jwrv0mf4pvge75qw76je6y 102 3020261 4873609 4873608 2025-08-12T14:28:57Z Leaderboard 932513 moved - Undo revision [[Special:Diff/4873541|4873541]] by [[Special:Contributions/BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 4873609 wikitext text/x-wiki == Zach's win in 2007 == Was it hard or computable for Zach Johnson to win the Masters tournament?

His death was announced by his family on a funeral home website on August 17. His cause of death was not specified. He was 88 years old. Rondell was born in 1937. He graduated {{w|North Hollywood High School}} before enlisting in the {{w|US Navy}}, where he excelled at {{w|scuba diving}} and {{w|mining}}. He later began working as a stunt double for films and television. Some of his stunts included {{w|gymnastics}} and {{w|hang gliding}}. Most notably in 1975, he appeared engulfed in flames on Pink Floyd's album cover alongside another stunt performer. The photo was to give the interpretation of one music business executive getting "burned" by another executive in a business dealing. The photoshoot was done in the {{w|Warner Bros.}} lot in {{w|Burbank}}. Fifteen pictures were taken in total. Despite wearing {{w|fire retardant}} underneath his business suit, on the final picture Rondell's mustache was disintegrated during the photoshoot, and his face was burned due to the wind. He reportedly "threw himself on the ground" and required the crew to throw blankets on him. Aubrey Powell, the photographer hired for the shoot, recalled in 2020 that Rondell said: "That's it! I'm done!" Powell said: "I knew I had got a special picture. It took a long time to persuade Ronnie to stand exactly as I wanted but in the end he was very brave and it was a perfect composition." He sustained numerous injuries throughout his career, including but not limited to concussions and broken ribs. He was quoted saying: "You never told anyone you were hurt because they always had another guy that could fit the clothes." He retired in 2000. Other films he was involved with include ''{{w|Lethal Weapon}}'', ''{{w|Thelma And Louise}}'', ''{{w|Batman & Robin}}'', ''{{w|Twister (film)|Twister}}'' and ''{{w|Star Trek: First Contact}}''. His final credit was in 2003's ''{{w|The Matrix Reloaded}}'', in which he came out of retirement to film a car chase scene. Rondell left behind a wife of 56 years and a son.

Despite this decline in output, siteviews have remained strong and our top stories — notably the June Boeing crash and July Saturn eclipse — drew several thousand views each, well above the yearly average. August marked both the lowest article count and the highest zero-day total of 2025, underscoring a widening gap between consistent reader interest and falling publication activity. Reader interest (siteviews) trails publication activity by about one month. A big publishing push in April (46 articles) aligned with record-high siteviews in May. Likewise, as article output dropped in June and July, siteviews fell one month later. * [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2025-08-01&end=2025-08-31&pages=Several_people_hospitalized_after_thousands_of_hotdogs_spill_following_collision_on_interstate_in_Pennsylvania%7CUgandan_court_refuses_bail_to_opposition_politician_Kizza_Besigye%7CEnvironmental_protest_in_Indonesia_denounces_Australia's_plastic_waste_exports%7CThree-car_crash_in_New_Hampshire_on_Frederick_E._Everett_Turnpike_kills_one%7CStunt_performer_set_ablaze_for_cover_artwork_of_Pink_Floyd_album_dies_aged_88%7CFlash_flooding,_landslides_in_Pakistan_leave_hundreds_dead%7CSummer_Streets_returns_with_uninterrupted_car-free_stretch_across_Manhattan%7CRussian_Justice_Ministry_designates_former_Putin_advisor_Sergey_Markov_as_%22foreign_agent%22%7CAmerican_rapper_Lil_Nas_X_pleads_not_guilty_of_alleged_assault_of_police_officer_in_Los_Angeles Pageview statistics] This month's top article by number of page-views: "[[Several people hospitalized after thousands of hotdogs spill following collision on interstate in Pennsylvania]]" with 2,685 pageviews as of August 31.

What was unusual was that a prominent Russian propagandist was included in the list. Sergey Markov, former Member of Russian Parliament, who served as a trusted spokesperson for Vladimir Putin in 2012, when he was running for president, and now political analyst, was designated as "foreign agent". According to Agents.Media (''Агентство. Новости''), Markov became one of the main translators of the position of Russian authorities during the Russian invasion into Ukraine. He was cited in the publications of The ''[[New York Times]]'' and ''Bloomberg'' about the Kremlin. In the aftermath of designation, Markov wrote the following: "I am not a foreign agent, and everyone knows it perfectly well. For 25 years, I have supported and continue to support Vladimir Putin's policies. I am also under Canadian sanctions. This attack against me is being carried out by enemies of Russia and by enemies of Vladimir Putin's policies. Sooner or later, these people will reveal themselves as traitors or will be removed from office as corrupt officials." He said that "mistake" happened. In June, Markov, along with first deputy director of Russian state-owned news agency ''{{w|TASS}}'' Mihail Gusman participated in mediaforum in Azerbaijan, amidst deteriorating relationships between Azerbaijan and Russia. Both Markov and Gusman praised Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliev, with Markov saying that Aliev is "brilliant intellectual". Subsequently Gusman was fired from his post, which he held since 1999. Markov's words draw ire from Russian bloggers. For instance, Alexander Koc accused him of using "totally Azerbaijan narrative". Support of Azerbaijan is the most likely reason of Markov being proclaimed "foreign agent". Markov also participated in streams with jounalists designated as "foreign agents", such as Alexey Venediktov. Ironically, Markov supported measures against so-called "foreign agents" and criticised them, as well as famous Russian culture figures who left Russia after its illegal invasion of Ukraine. Laws about "foreign agents" were approved in Russia in 2012, and allow to brand non-commercial organisations "foreign agents", if they are financed from abroad and do "political activity". The criteria which define such activity are not strictly defined, which enables the persecution of organisations that work in the fields of education, healthcare, culture, ecology and human rights. It has become instrument of repression in Russia, with many Putin critics labelled this way.

Three of the charges were for battery, and the remaining charge was for {{w|resisting arrest}}. Hill was initially arrested in {{w|Los Angeles}} on August 21, 2025. The incident started after police responded to reports of a man walking nude in the street on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City. Upon arrival, police stated that Hill charged at the officers and allegedly struck one of them twice in the face. He was then taken into custody on suspicion of battery on a police officer. He was hospitalized briefly for a possible overdose before being booked at a county jail. He "spent the weekend in jail" before appearing in court to acknowledge the charges on Monday, according to ''People Magazine''. Lil Nas X was believed to have possibly been experiencing a mental health crisis or under the influence, though those details are not confirmed. Months prior to the incident, he disclosed on social media that the previous few years had been particularly "difficult" for him. He was quoted saying: "I'm just now, like arriving to this place of feeling confidence in myself and what I'm doing. And I'm trying to make sure I put intention towards my music and my vision and the creativity of it all." Hill's bail was set at $75,000. He would be required to attend {{w|Narcotics Anonymous}} in the event of his release. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url =

A petition to award the title of Hero of Ukraine to Parubiy was registered on the presidential website on September 2. It collected the necessary 25,000 signatures, the threshold for the proposal to be considered by President. The Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, also supported the request. Parubiy was among several people who were conferred Heros of Ukraine. Others were writer Volodymyr Vakulenko, pupil and footballer Stepan Chubenko. Andriy Parubiy, 54, who served as the Chairman of Verkhovna Rada from 14 April 2016 to 29 August 2019, was shot and killed in {{w|Lviv}} on 30 August. He died at the scene from injuries. The killing was the latest in series assassinations in Ukraine and Russia, part of a shadow war between the two countries, amid Russian invasion that started in 2022. First, National Police made a statement that a political figure was murdered after a shooting in the western Ukrainian city. Then lawmaker Iryna Herashchenko confirmed that it was Parubiy who was killed. "Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko and Prosecutor General Ruslav Kravchenko have just informed me about the first known circumstances of the terrible murder in Lviv. Andriy Parubiy has died," President {{w|Volodymyr Zelensky}} said. The shooter managed to escape. Later, Ukrainian authorities detained a suspect, and allege there is a Russian link to the killing. There is an unverified clip published online which is claimed to show the shooting. What appears to be a gunman posing as a courier approaching Parubiy from behind, the pair are obscured from view by a tree. Newsweek could not independently verify the footage. Parubiy was an active participant of Euromaidan. He also served as Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of {{w|Ukraine}} from February till August 2014. The suspected killer of Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Parubiy admitted his role in the politician’s death on 2 September. He claimed to have carried out the crime in an act of "revenge" against the country’s authorities. He denied having worked with Russian special services. The killing of Parubiy is one of several killings that conduct Russia and Ukraine against each other. In July, SBU colonel Ivan Voronych was shot dead inside a secure compound in central Kyiv. A few days before the murder of Parubiy, an explosion in a shopping centre in Moscow killed one person and injured several persons, including a man identified by Russian median as a high-ranking FSB officer. Another prominent Ukrainian nationalist figure, former MP Iryna Farion, was shot on the street in Lviv in July last year. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.-->

Arbeit]] (BA), showed that the national unemployment rate reached 6.4% (or 3.025 million people) in August, up 0.1% from last month. This milestone marks the first time since February 2015 that the three-million mark was reached, according to ''[[w:Deutsche Welle|Deutsche Welle]]''. According to ''[[w:RTÉ|RTÉ]]'', the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 6.3% (2.96 million), decreasing by 9,000 from July. Compared to the previous August, the number of unemployed increased by 153,000, or 0.3%. BA's broader {{w|underemployment}} figure – encompassing both unemployment and short-term work incapacity – stood at 3.634 million, representing an increase of 25,000 from August 2024. The inflation rate rose to 2.1% in August, exceeding the 2.0% estimated by analysts, according to {{w|CNBC}}. The labour demand in the primary market has been in decline, with 631,000 job openings reported to the agency in August, 68,000 fewer than the same month last year. The monthly Federal Employment Agency Job Index ({{w|BA-X}}), an indicator of labour market demand according to the ''[[w:Bundesagentur für Arbeit|Bundesagentur für Arbeit]]'', remained unchanged at 98 points. In a press statement published on Friday, BA director {{w|Andrea Nahles}} stated that the labour market bore the brunt of consecutive years of economic contraction, but that it is beginning to show tentative signs of stabilisation. She also said the figures reflect the struggles faced by the manufacturing sector. According to a report released by professional services firm [[w:Ernst & Young|EY]], the car industry alone lost 110,000 jobs in the last 12 months, ''{{w|France 24}}'' reported. Nahles said she expects the typical seasonal recovery in September to improve the situation but cautioned the number of unemployed could again exceed three million during the winter. == Sources == *{{Source |url = https://www.dw.com/en/german-unemployment-rises-above-3-million/a-73808583 |title = German unemployment rises above 3 million |author = Richard Connor, Rana Taha |publisher = Deutsche Welle |date = August 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250831002810/https://www.dw.com/en/german-unemployment-rises-above-3-million/a-73808583 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/presse/2025-35-arbeitsmarkt-im-august-2025 |title = Arbeitsmarkt im August 2025 |author = |publisher = Bundesagentur für Arbeit |date = August 29, 2025 |lang = de |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250902030907/https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/presse/2025-35-arbeitsmarkt-im-august-2025 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0829/1530764-german-unemployment-figures/ |title = Number of unemployed people in Germany passes 3 million mark |author = Reuters |publisher = RTÉ |date = August 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250902214820/https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0829/1530764-german-unemployment-figures/ }} *{{Source |url = https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250829-german-unemployment-tops-3-million-highest-for-a-decade |title = German unemployment tops 3 million, highest for a decade |author = Agence France-Presse |publisher = France 24 |date = August 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250902024558/https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250829-german-unemployment-tops-3-million-highest-for-a-decade }} *{{Source |url = https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/german-inflation-august-2025.html |title = Higher inflation and unemployment cast shadow over Europe’s biggest economy |author = Sophie Kiderlin, Ruxandra Iordache |publisher = CNBC |date = August 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250902030005/https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/german-inflation-august-2025.html }} [[Category:Economy and business]] [[Category:Germany]] [[Category:Europe]] {{Publish}} {{Archived}} rmrqf1x3fd2q7xtmvye0pjxhx17n8e4 14 3021364 4879504 4876487 2025-09-18T23:45:08Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Updating Date category using [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]] 4879504 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Datecategory}} tnitdumewxaeyevrqvfhe04c2tsb8bj 14 3021365 4879507 4876485 2025-09-18T23:45:50Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Updating Month category using [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]] 4879507 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Monthcategory}} icxf9xk9faddndpbprptfb6ygd6r1cf 0 3021411 4876664 2025-09-02T18:38:19Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [[Naomi Osaka quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament]] to [[Naomi Osaka going to quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tennis tournament]] 4876664 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Naomi Osaka going to quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tennis tournament]] orweuceowhu9x6ew576gewneeo5d2vk 14 3021443 4879505 4876786 2025-09-18T23:45:08Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Updating Date category using [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]] 4879505 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Datecategory}} tnitdumewxaeyevrqvfhe04c2tsb8bj 102 3021455 4876821 2025-09-03T15:36:04Z 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]] 4876821 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3021469 4891784 4884535 2025-10-25T04:18:47Z Jianhui67 775555 /* Votes */ 4891784 wikitext text/x-wiki ===[[User:Koavf|Koavf]]=== (When I went to nominate Koavf for adminship, I opened my mouth and couldn't close it for two minutes.

From my point of view, Koavf has shown a reasonable understanding of the project policies, technicalities and is an excellent communicator.

Last five published articles are reviewed by him. We can't just have one person reviewing stuff if we are going to boost our publication rate and survive. I'm watching articles go stale in the review que like that were finished five days beforehand, it sucks. Has anyone else looked at my request for reviewership? [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:41, 28 July 2025 (UTC) :I am here every day. I rarely login to wiki. I read email and irc. Alas, these contain no information about what articles were written and submitted for review. That was why i coded [[User:Gryllida/welcome a bit]] notification system. It emails the new drafts to a subscribed user. Unfortunately, it has not been operational for a long time. I do not know about how it would help me, but each of the handful of users who tried it, stopped responding to emails after a week or two. Perhaps having a co maintainer could help. This sodtware is written in perl and runs on a linux; the same code could be trivial to write in nodejs or python. Additionally, having an Android app for viewing entries in the review and developing queues could help loads; @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] maybe? And where is the PageAssessments extension that was requested in water cooler including a filed phab request a while ago? I spent around half an hour every time just manually making a list of articles and their event dates prior to starting a first review. Having this done by someone else and thrown in my face would greatly speed up reviewing.

'''Updates for editors''' * Editors can now enable the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/User Info|User Info card]]. This feature adds an icon next to usernames on history pages and similar user-contribution log pages. When you tap or click on the icon, it displays data related to that user account such as the number of edits, reverted edits, blocks, and more. It's part of a broader project to make it easier for moderators to evaluate account trustworthiness. The feature can be enabled in [[testwiki:Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|your global preferences]], and later this week it will be available in local preferences. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386439] * Everybody is invited to share comments on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaborative contributions|Collaborative Contributions]], a project recently launched by the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Connection Team|Connection team]]. The project aims to create a new way to display the impact of collaborative editing activities (such as edit-a-thons, backlog drives, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. Post your comments on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents/Collaborative contributions|project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378035] * Administrators can now define the default block duration for temporary accounts. To do that, they need to create a page named <code dir=ltr>MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account</code> and use a value defined in <code dir=ltr>MediaWiki:Ipboptions</code>. This allows administrators to easily block temporary accounts for 90 days, which is functionally equivalent to an indefinite block. The advantage of this solution is that it does not clutter Special:BlockList. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block and unblock#Default block duration options|More documentation]] is available.

This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using [[mw:Vue.js|Vue.js]], in particular using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]], the official design system of Wikimedia. [[wmdoc:codex/latest/icons/overview.html|Codex icons]] can be loaded through the gadget definition. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Gadgets#Pages|The documentation]] has examples. For user scripts that use Vue.js, an [[mw:API:CodexIcons|API module]] now exists to load Codex icons. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340460][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T311099] * Module developers can now use a [[mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Message Bundles/Lua reference|Lua interface]] to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation on Meta-Wiki. This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation. Module developers and translators are invited to [[commons:File:Translatable modules video demo July 2025.webm|watch the demo video]], read more about [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translatable modules|translatable modules]] to understand how it works, refer to Meta-Wiki's [[m:Module:User Wikimedia project|Module:User Wikimedia project]] for example usage, and [[mw:Talk:Translatable modules|share their feedback]] on how well it addresses the challenges in their workflow. The interface still has some performance issues, so it should not be used in widely used modules yet. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T359918] * Developers of external tools that connect to Wikimedia pages must set a user-agent that complies with [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|the user-agent policy]]. This policy will start to be more strongly enforced in August because of external crawlers that are [[diffblog:2025/04/01/how-crawlers-impact-the-operations-of-the-wikimedia-projects/|overusing]] Wikimedia's resources. Tools that are hosted on Wikimedia's Toolforge or Cloud VPS will not be affected by this for now, but should still set a user-agent.

We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''. Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate. '''Why we are building temporary accounts''' Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect. Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users. '''How temporary accounts work''' [[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]] Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it. '''What does this mean for different groups of users?''' '''For logged-out editors''' * This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki. * If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice. '''For community members interacting with logged-out editors''' * A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address). * Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community. '''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki''' * '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.) * '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''': ** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option. ** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range. * Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this. '''Our requests for you, and next steps''' * If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]]. * If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in. * Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options. * Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses. To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there.

Authorities said they were working to identify the species of shark involved in the incident. ''UPI'', citing the ''Sydney Morning Herald'', reported that the man was identified as Mercury Psillakis, 57.

If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations. The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''. The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below: [[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]] These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages. Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

[[Brazil]]'s [[w:Supreme Federal Court|Supreme Federal Court]], formed by a panel of five justices, sentenced former president [[Jair Bolsonaro]] to 27 years and three months in prison, on five charges related to an alleged plot to overturn the result of the [[w:2022 Brazilian general election|2022 election]]. Four out of the five justices voted to convict Bolsonaro on all charges, which include heading an armed criminal organisation, attempting to plot a coup and abolish the democratic rule of law through violent means, as well as two charges regarding the damage of property during the {{w|January 8 Brasília attacks|storming of government buildings}} by Bolsonaro's supporters in [[Brasília]] on 8 January 2023. While announcing Bolsonaro's sentence on Thursday night, Justice Alexandre de Moraes said the former president had attempted to destroy "the essential pillars of the democratic rule-of-law state", the consequences of which would have been the return of dictatorial rule in the country, ''[[The Guardian]]'' reported. Justice {{w|Cármen Lúcia}} likewise labelled it an effort to "sow the malignant seed of anti-democracy", but highlighted the continuing resilience of the democratic institutions. According to prosecutors, part of the alleged plan involved assassinating then president-elect [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva]], his Vice President {{w|Geraldo Alckmin}}, and Supreme Court Justice {{w|Alexandre de Moraes}}, through the use of explosives, poison or weapons of war. Justice Luiz Fux said there was “absolutely no proof” Bolsonaro was aware of or involved in such a plan. In sharp disagreement with their colleagues, Justice {{w|Luiz Fux}} voted to acquit Bolsonaro on all charges on September 10, arguing there was no evidence he was aware of the supposed plot or had attempted to orchestrate a coup, and that the court lacked jurisdiction over the case. Seven Bolsonaro co-conspirators were also convicted, namely former {{w|Ministry of Defence (Brazil)|defence ministers}} {{w|Walter Braga Netto}} and {{w|Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira}}, former aide-de-camp {{w|Mauro Cid}}, retired general {{w|Augusto Heleno}}, former {{w|Ministry of Justice and Public Security (Brazil)|justice minister}} {{w|Anderson Torres}}, former {{w|Commander of the Brazilian Navy|naval commander}} {{w|Almir Garnier Santos}}, and former police officer {{w|Alexandre Ramagem}}, ''[[Al-Jazeera]]'' reported. Bolsonaro and the seven other defendants denied any of the allegations. Bolsonaro’s lawyers expressed their intention to appeal his conviction and sentence before the full Supreme Court, which is currently composed of eleven justices, according to ''[[Associated Press|AP]]''. The ''AP'' also quoted law professor Rafael Mafei, who said it was “unlikely, but not impossible” that an appeal would reach the full court. Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest in Brazil's capital, is not expected to face prison until all legal avenues are exhausted. Following the ruling, thousands of Brazilians, including members of the LGBTQ+ and Indigenous communities, gathered in the streets of Brasília, [[Rio de Janeiro]] and other cities to celebrate Bolsonaro's conviction, as reported by ''The Guardian''. {{w|President of Chile}} {{w|Gabriel Boric}} and {{w|President of Colombia}} {{w|Gustavo Petro}} both welcomed the ruling and highlighted it as a symbolic victory for democracy. US President [[Donald Trump]], who had earlier imposed [[w:Tariffs in the second Trump administration#Brazil|50% export tariffs]] on Brazilian goods because of the case, said the court's decision was "very surprising", though he didn't confirm whether he would seek new sanctions on Brazil, when inquired by ''[[CNN]]'' reporters on Thursday. In a post on social media, {{w|United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State}} [[Marco Rubio]] called the case a "witch hunt" and said the Trump administration would respond accordingly. In a ''[[The New York Times]]'' essay published on Sunday, President Lula da Silva defended the court's decision as a "historic decision which safeguards our institutions and the democratic rule of law", and dismissed accusations by the US government of a "witch hunt". He also claimed that the Trump administration was weaponising its {{w|Tariffs in the second Trump administration|tariff policies}} and the {{w|Magnitsky Act}} to grant Bolsonaro impunity. Lula concluded his essay by telling President Trump that Brazil remained open to negotiating "anything that can bring mutual benefits", but warned that "Brazil's democracy and sovereignty are not on the table". == Sources == * {{source | url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3yxkkdlkvo | title = Brazil's Lula hits back at Trump over Bolsonaro trial and tariffs | author = Vanessa Buschschlüter | pub = BBC News Online | date = September 15, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250916022532/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3yxkkdlkvo }} * {{source | url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/12/brazilians-take-to-the-streets-to-celebrate-bolsonaro-conviction | title = Brazilians take to the streets to celebrate Bolsonaro conviction | author = [[d:Q27313578|Tom Phillips]] | pub = The Guardian | date = September 12, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250913052548/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/12/brazilians-take-to-the-streets-to-celebrate-bolsonaro-conviction }} * {{source | url = https://apnews.com/article/brazil-bolsonaro-supreme-court-trial-coup-attempt-f95765c36dbbdc3355ad3af0b70eacf6 | title = Brazilian Supreme Court panel sentences Bolsonaro to more than 27 years in prison for coup attempt | author = [[d:Q124888519|Gabriela Sá Pessoa]], Mauricio Savarese | pub = Associated Press | date = September 11, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250916134925/https://apnews.com/article/brazil-bolsonaro-supreme-court-trial-coup-attempt-f95765c36dbbdc3355ad3af0b70eacf6 }} * {{source | url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/11/brazil-supreme-court-bolsonaro-guilty-coup | title = Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years for plotting military coup in Brazil | author = Tom Phillips | pub = The Guardian | date = September 11, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250913180802/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/11/brazil-supreme-court-bolsonaro-guilty-coup }} * {{source | url = https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/11/americas/brazil-jair-bolsonaro-coup-trial-verdict-latam-intl | title = Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro convicted of plotting coup, sentenced to over 27 years in prison | author = Julia Vargas Jones, Michael Rios | pub = CNN | date = September 11, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250912043408/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/11/americas/brazil-jair-bolsonaro-coup-trial-verdict-latam-intl }} * {{source | url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/11/brazils-bolsonaro-found-guilty-of-coup-plot-by-top-court | title = Brazil Supreme Court sentences Bolsonaro to 27 years over coup plot | author = | pub = Al Jazeera | date = September 11, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250912085834/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/11/brazils-bolsonaro-found-guilty-of-coup-plot-by-top-court }} * {{source | url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c147n38k800o | title = Brazil's former President Bolsonaro found guilty of coup plot | author = Vanessa Buschschlüter, [[d:Q108444407|Ione Wells]] | pub = BBC News Online | date = September 11, 2025 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250915022917/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c147n38k800o }} [[Category:Brazil]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Democracy]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Jair Bolsonaro]] [[Category:Marco Rubio]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Supreme Federal Court (Brazil)]] [[Category:South America]] {{Publish}} 5akr9g83o9bj8cmewy0cjaa4zdrp5qu 102 3022237 4879081 2025-09-16T03:21:51Z 41.116.17.1 Page created with "{{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. -->" 4879081 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --> 67rkwjg627ptnfgzzpg4qumewru1g31 0 3022282 4879758 4879404 2025-09-20T00:01:24Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[New York judge rules terrorism charges legally insufficient in Mangione case]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4879404 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Crime and law}} {{date|September 18, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> On Tuesday, [[New York State|New York]] Judge Gregory Carro dismissed two of the charges related to terrorism against Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the {{w|killing of Brian Thompson}}. Carro stated prosecutors had not provided sufficient evidence to support the terrorism-related charges. He ruled that the {{w|second-degree murder}} charge against Mangione would proceed. Carro also said that the two murder charges could not be considered terrorism because Mangione had not "made any demands of government or sought any particular governmental policy change." Specifically, Carro dismissed the charges of first-degree murder and second-degree murder, while allowing another count of second-degree murder to stand. In a written decision posted during the brief proceeding, he wrote: "Counts one and two, charging [the] defendant with murder in the first degree (in furtherance of an act of terrorism) and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism, are dismissed as legally insufficient. The people presented legally sufficient evidence of all other counts, including murder in the second degree (intentional). The people presented legally sufficient evidence of all other counts, including murder in the second degree (intentional)." The Manhattan district attorney's office published a response: "We respect the Court's decision and will proceed on the remaining nine counts, including Murder in the Second Degree." In addition to the New York state proceedings, Mangione also faces federal murder charges, which could lead to the death penalty, according to ''[[The Guardian]]'' and the ''[[BBC]]''.

Organizers said the conference will be held aboard a catamaran docked at the Port of Dénia, highlighting the role of maritime tourism in the regional economy. == Sources == * {{source |url=https://www.lasprovincias.es/marina/denia-acogera-encuentros-empresas-turisticas-pactema-20250918-xyz.html |title=Dénia acogerá los VIII Encuentros de Empresas Turísticas Pacte'MA |pub=Las Provincias |date=2025-09-18 |language=Spanish |trans-title=Denia to host the 8th PACTE’MA tourism business meeting }} * {{source |url=https://lamarinaalta.es/pactema-returns-key-event-tourism-smes-marina-alta-20250917 |title=PACTE'MA returns: the key event for tourism and SMEs in the Marina Alta region |pub=La Marina Alta |date=2025-09-17 |language=Spanish |trans-title=PACTE’MA returns: key event for tourism and SMEs in Marina Alta }} * {{source |url=https://www.benissa.es/noticies/viii-encuentro-empresas-turisticas-pactema-denia-20250916 |title=El VIII Encuentro de Empresas Turísticas PACTE’MA reunirá al sector en Dénia |pub=Ajuntament de Benissa |date=2025-09-16 |language=Spanish |trans-title=The 8th PACTE’MA tourism business meeting will bring the sector together in Dénia }} * {{source |url=https://www.teulada-moraira.es/noticies/viii-encuentro-empresas-turisticas-pactema-20250916 |title=El VIII Encuentro de Empresas Turísticas PACTE’MA reúne el sector de Dénia |pub=Ajuntament de Teulada |date=2025-09-16 |language=Spanish |trans-title=The 8th PACTE’MA tourism business meeting gathers the sector in Dénia }} [[Category:Spain]] [[Category:Valencian Community]] [[Category:Dénia]] [[Category:Tourism]] [[Category:Business]] [[Category:September 2025]] om4qf1b53klynuc3mwds7n2vx2viyvh 14 3022292 4879276 4879171 2025-09-17T15:08:36Z Redireditor 2856400 -full stop 4879276 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Topic cat |intro = the supreme court of Brazil |image = Fachada do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) (54333425092).jpg |imagecaption = The Supreme Federal Court on 17 February 2025. |portal = no |offset = {{{offset|0}}} |sisterprojects = yes |commons = Category:Supremo Tribunal Federal |wikidata = Q519138 |wikipedia = Supreme Federal Court |pipe = Supreme Federal Court }} [[Category:Brazil]] [[Category:Courts]] iki9srhvsfl7y73fweccf45kr3y9e9g 102 3022336 4879288 2025-09-17T16:23:10Z 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]] 4879288 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 14 3022347 4879322 4879321 2025-09-17T21:03:45Z BigKrow 2871522 Desc 4879322 wikitext text/x-wiki This category is about '''Luigi Mangione''' topics. * [[Luigi Mangione, suspect in killing of US healthcare CEO, charged with terrorism]] * [[Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to federal charges involving murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson]] * [[US prosecutors pursue death penalty for Luigi Mangione, suspect in 2024 killing of healthcare CEO]] * [[Suspect in shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO fled New York City by bus, police say]] dsvlmkqrk1w94h71tb52xq2xkedig5d 102 3022384 4879403 2025-09-18T15:57:14Z 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]] 4879403 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 4 3022409 4887075 4887045 2025-10-14T14:26:45Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 add trailing pipe 4887075 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/Template:2025 boost navbox}} [[:Category:September 2025]] Articles published: 7 {| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto" |+ Publishing reviewers for the month |- !

His death was verified by the {{w|North Carolina State Highway Patrol}}. Two other people died onboard the plane. There were no survivors. The aircraft involved was a {{w|Cirrus SR22T}}.

It's a reminder that we need to be very careful with our word choices and to make sure we adhere to not only neutrality, but balance. <blockquote>At the center of the controversy is Yoo’s framing of Tek as a tragic figure—a man caught in the so-called “DOC-to-ICE pipeline,” subjected to “double punishment” by the U.S. immigration system. But as Rantz notes, this sympathetic portrayal leaves out key facts that paint a very different picture. <p>Yoo reportedly refers to Tek’s conviction as merely “assault,” a word that, stripped of detail, could mean anything from a bar fight to a shove on the street. But the court records, as Rantz outlines, tell a far more brutal story.</p></blockquote> Even the ZeroHedge article covering bias is biased by injecting speculation: <blockquote>Why? Because telling the full story would make it harder to present Tek as the poster child for the “double punishment” debate—a term activists use to argue that deporting someone after they serve time is excessive. But here’s the rub: that’s how the law works.</blockquote> I have found AI to be useful in evaluating an article's neutrality and balance. See [[Help:AI]] for tips on how anyone can use it for NPOV and more. If you use AI and have tips on how others can use it, share them there!

Investigators accuse the church of bribing the first lady of impeached [[w:President of South Korea|President]] [[w:Yoon Suk Yeol|Yoon Suk Yeol]], [[w:Kim Keon Hee|Kim Keon Hee]], as well as conservative lawmaker and MP [[w:Kweon Seong-dong|Kweon Seong-dong]]. Han, 82, had been questioned the previous Wednesday, September 17. Prosecutors allege that she and her organization had delivered a pair of Chanel handbags and a diamond necklace, together valued at 80 million [[w:South Korean won|won]] ([[United States dollar|USD]]57,900), to Kim. According to the ''[[BBC]]'', prosecutors claimed Han worked with a former church official in 2022 to channel a 100 million won payment to conservative lawmaker Kweon Seong-dong. The arrangement was allegedly intended to secure benefits for the church if her husband later won the 2022 presidential election, which he did. She denied the allegations and maintained that the church official acted on his own. The leader of the organization appeared before the [[d:Q16097683|Seoul Central District Court]] on Monday for an hours-long hearing, where she declined to answer questions by reporters about the allegations. The court issued an arrest warrant for Han the following day on four charges which include embezzlement and {{w|Graft (politics)|graft}}, siding with prosecutors who argued she represented a flight risk and could destroy evidence. ''{{w|United Press International|UPI}}'' noted that the court did not order the arrest of her aide Jung Wonju on the same charges because of insufficient evidence. On Wednesday, she was interrogated by a team lead by special counsel Min Joong-ki for four hours, ''{{w|The Korea Times}}'' reported. Following Han's arrest, the church released a statement saying it respected the court's decision, and that it would "cooperate with the ongoing investigation and trial procedures to establish the truth", as well as "restore trust in our church". The organization had previously objected to attempts by investigators to arrest Han, pointing out to her health issues, according to ''[[Associated Press]]''. Kim Keon Hee had been arrested in August on charges including alleged {{w|Market manipulation|stock market manipulation}} and bribery. According to the ''[[Associated Press]]'', Kim's case is one of three special prosecutor probes launched by the {{w|Cabinet of Lee Jae Myung|government}} of President {{w|Lee Jae Myung}} that target the presidency of {{w|Yoon Suk Yeol}}. According to ''Reuters'', the other investigations involve an unsuccessful attempt by Yoon to declare {{w|2024 South Korean martial law crisis|nationwide martial law}} in December 2024, which led to his ousting and subsequent imprisonment in April, as well as his government's alleged interference in the case of Marine Corporal Chae Su-geun, who drowned during a flood operation in July 2023. According to ''The Guardian'', Kweon Seong-dong, a member of the {{w|People Power Party}} described as a pro-Yoon loyalist, was arrested last week. ''The Guardian'' also reported investigators visited the headquarters of his party in the same week to seek evidence for claims that the church urged its followers to support him in the party's leadership election in 2023. Both Kim and Kweon denied the allegations. Hak Ja Han became leader of the organization following the death of her husband {{w|Sun Myung Moon}} in 2012. The Unification Church, officially named The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, was founded in 1954 by Sun, and is known for recruiting thousands of couples for large weddings. Its affiliated companies operate on the areas of media, construction, health care, and business. == Related news == * {{Wikinews|South Korean Constitutional Court upholds impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol|April 8, 2025}} * {{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}} == Sources == *{{Source |url = https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20250926006900315 |title = Special counsel probe into Marine's death extended by 30 days |author = Lee Haye-ah |publisher = Yonhap News Agency |date = September 26, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250926170200/https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20250926006900315 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/politics/20250924/unification-church-leader-undergoes-1st-special-counsel-questioning-after-arrest |title = Unification Church leader undergoes 1st special counsel questioning after arrest |author = {{w|Yonhap News Agency}} |publisher = The Korea Times |date = September 24, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250926001820/https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/politics/20250924/unification-church-leader-undergoes-1st-special-counsel-questioning-after-arrest }} *{{Source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjedkdy7ljno |title = 'Moonies' church leader arrested over gifts to ex-South Korean first lady |author = [[d:Q126197503|Kelly Ng]] |publisher = BBC News Online |date = September 23, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250923055926/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjedkdy7ljno }} *{{Source |url = https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/09/23/korea-court-arrests-unification-church-leader-hak-ja-han/2701758658025/ |title = South Korean court arrests Unification Church leader Hak Ja Han, rejects detention of aide |author = |publisher = United Press International |date = September 23, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/6ZrZ4 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/23/unification-church-leader-han-hak-ja-arrested-south-korea-ntwnfb |title = Unification Church leader arrested in South Korea over bribery allegations linked to former first lady |author = Raphael Rashid |publisher = The Guardian |date = September 23, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250923063753/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/23/unification-church-leader-han-hak-ja-arrested-south-korea-ntwnfb }} *{{Source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/22/asia/unification-church-leader-arrested-bribery-case-south-korea-intl-hnk |title = Unification Church leader arrested in bribery case involving former South Korean president’s wife |author = [[Associated Press]] |publisher = CNN |date = September 22, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250924125904/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/22/asia/unification-church-leader-arrested-bribery-case-south-korea-intl-hnk }} *{{Source |url = https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250922-s-korea-court-issues-arrest-warrant-for-unification-church-leader-yonhap |title = Unification Church leader arrested in South Korea |author = {{w|Agence France-Presse}} |publisher = France 24 |date = September 22, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250926003228/https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250922-s-korea-court-issues-arrest-warrant-for-unification-church-leader-yonhap }} *{{Source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/unification-church-leader-faces-possible-arrest-south-koreas-ex-first-lady-probe-2025-09-22/ |title = Unification Church leader faces possible arrest in South Korea's ex-first lady probe |author = Jack Kim |publisher = Reuters |date = September 22, 2025 |archiveurl = https://archive.ph/quIYA }} [[Category:Corruption]] [[Category:Seoul]] [[Category:Unification Church]] [[Category:Asia]] {{Publish}} hqnlc6qdykzdvjg3wesonull9l27gl5 90 3022921 4880895 2025-09-26T19:34:49Z 2601:156:8480:77D0:E95A:C1C9:96A4:41EC New thread: This is what news is for 4880895 wikitext text/x-wiki Thank you wikipedianews. eshpnszokiveek7gxqljulnpqtj5g8i 0 3022930 4880919 2025-09-26T22:39:22Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 Lofi Gurl moved page [[Former FBI Director James Comey indicted on two charges]] to [[Former FBI Director James Comey accused of lying to Congress, indicted on two charges]] 4880919 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Former FBI Director James Comey accused of lying to Congress, indicted on two charges]] 03pmeg0gkpy27xafnui6xo7izh2rns2 0 3022940 4893956 4893946 2025-10-31T00:37:55Z Sheminghui.WU 2869677 but, How is this article "incomplete" 4893956 wikitext text/x-wiki {{review}} {{date|September 27, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> September 27 is [[:w:World Tourism Day|World Tourism Day]], established by [[:w:United Nations World Tourism Organization|United Nations World Tourism Organization]] (formerly the World Tourism Organization).

What made you set out on your first journey and decide to be an explorer for life? Did you ever imagine you would become a traveller? '''A:''' I was born in the Soviet Union and back then I never imagined I would become a genuine traveller, because the country’s borders were closed. It was not until 2006 that I truly set out as a “traveller” [[:ru:w:b:Бомж-туризм/Первая творческая поездка Виктора Пинчука в Африку|for Ethiopia]]. That trip had a clear purpose: I was commissioned by an arts association and planned to hold a photography exhibition upon my return. I never travel without a purpose; each trip is accompanied by a creative project. After the Soviet Union dissolved in 1992 I travelled to many countries as a tourist or with tour groups. But “traveller” and “tourist” are entirely different concepts. '''Q:''' Besides “traveller”, the word “explorer” is familiar yet strange — would you call yourself an “explorer”? What, to you, is an explorer? '''A:''' I certainly am an explorer; I try to go to places almost no foreigners set foot in. That said, if I have the opportunity I’ll visit some tourist countries on the way. '''Q:''' With rising living standards and technology, travel has become a more mass activity. How do you think travellers can use such activity to broaden their understanding? '''A:''' True travellers never go afar merely for leisure. Those people are called “tourists” or “holidaymakers”. This year I gave a talk on this subject at a meeting of [[:ru:w:n:Плановое собрание российских путешественников прошло в Москве|Russian travellers]] in Moscow. [[File:Сходка путешественников у Кротова (17. 05. 2025) (13).jpg|thumb|350px|A gathering of travellers, 2025{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' You once said, “Travel is not the same as having a holiday.” Could you talk about what you consider “real travel” and “pure exploration”? '''A:''' A holiday is time people spend to rest, relax and be entertained so they can return to work refreshed. Travellers do not relax on the road — it is not easy, and sometimes the psychological strain is heavier than the physical burden. At a seminar in Crimea someone once asked if I would take a companion; when I pressed for details I found he simply planned to use his holiday (at most a month) for the trip, whereas a real journey often lasts half a year — and the matter resolved itself. '''Q:''' Have you ever had an experience of purely relaxing holiday? '''A:''' In childhood I enjoyed leisure and entertainment. I lived on the Black Sea coast of Crimea, not far from Simferopol. As an adult — never; such holidays are too boring. '''Q:''' On the road, have there been times when you felt truly afraid or wanted to give up? How did you get through them? '''A:''' Yes. In the second month of a trip I sometimes experience exhaustion and feel it is difficult to continue; I feel very tired. Then a “second wind” comes and I’m on the road again. There are also moments of not knowing what will happen next — that uncertainty… Once in Bolivia I got lost on a mountain path, had to descend another way, fell and came away bruised. The next day I washed my clothes and continued. That was in Tupiza, a place with many canyons. I’ve gone through many extreme situations, including infectious disease and being [[:ru:w:b:Бомж-туризм/В гостях у смерти|washed into a neighbouring country]]; experiences and notes on them can be found on the [[:ru:w:b:Категория:Практика выживания в экстремальных условиях|Russian Wikibooks]]. [[File:Abandoned building (inside).jpg|thumb|left|100px|Residence during a dengue outbreak in Malaya{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' You have been to many culturally different regions, including areas that retain much more of a natural way of life — these can surprise visitors accustomed to their own culture. What attitude should a traveller adopt when visiting and observing? '''A:''' I even wrote a little [[:en:w:b:Cultural travel|primer]] specifically on that question; I call it “cultural immersion”, which is entirely different from what is commonly meant by [[:w:cultural travel|cultural travel]]. I consider myself an expert in this field. '''Q:''' Suppose someone decides to take time off and go on a purely cultural or natural exploration — what practical advice would you give based on your experience? '''A:''' I’ve been to countries where almost no one speaks English (let alone Russian), such as China and Mongolia, but I still managed to communicate with “body language”. I advise people not to be afraid of not knowing the local language and not to fear anything. “Those who want to do something will find a way; those who don’t will find an excuse.” — Socrates (or some other figure). '''Q:''' How do you keep yourself safe abroad, especially when you need to record and photograph? '''A:''' If someone chooses Ethiopia as the starting point of their travel career, they won’t get lost in other countries. Ethiopia is a great “school”: locals might throw stones at you for photographing them. I remain tolerant. If I personally dislike certain religions or traditions, I don’t tell others, because I am a guest on their land, not the other way around. '''Q:''' You’ve carried out several projects in Crimea and even received government support. Are there many people engaged in exploration like you? Do you have organisations for communication or cooperation? '''A:''' The government has indeed offered support, but not financial: all projects were completed at my own expense. There are very few people willing to pay all the costs themselves and work without pay. I think these people are mostly concentrated in various [[:w:Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia projects]] — for example, writing free articles for Wikinews — which most journalists would not do. Most journalists won’t write for free. '''Q:''' You have been to China. What kind of exploration did you do there, and how did you find it? '''A:''' I prefer countries that still retain ancient traditions, even vestiges of medieval life. China is very modernised and prices are not low, especially accommodation (unlike Vietnam or Laos, which are cheaper). As a record-collector I have to say China, Korea and Japan have largely lost ethnic distinctiveness in music. But China has many ancient relics, which is very attractive. I visited an “ethnic village” in China, but it was only a tourist attraction, not authentic. I also visited Hong Kong and Taiwan; their atmospheres differ from that of the Chinese mainland. [[File:Remmogo Victim Support Sentre.jpg|thumb|200px|Certificate from the "Remmogo" street crime victim support centre for the African-style robbery{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' How do you document each trip? Do you value preserving images, text, or memory itself? How do you turn travels into art or academic works? '''A:''' On the last day of a six-month trip I was robbed in broad daylight in the city centre and all my recorded material was gone. I always only start organising my writing after returning home, and experience cannot be stolen. So I eventually published a [[:ru:w:b:Холидей бродячего мзунгу|book without illustrations]]. Photographs are mainly used to accompany books and news articles, or to stage a photography exhibition. '''Q:''' You are over fifty. Do you plan to undertake more of these crazy intercontinental trips? Have you felt any ageing-related hindrances, and how do you maintain your mental and physical condition? '''A:''' I live in Europe and the destinations I choose are usually in Africa, Asia, Oceania and Latin America, so every journey is intercontinental. I walk 8.5 kilometres every Monday. On the road I can walk up to 20 kilometres a day. If I walk 30 kilometres I feel very tired; I simply can’t go on beyond 30 kilometres in a day. [[File:Yalta in August 2025.gif|thumb|left|260px|Yalta in August 2025, photographed by Pinchuk{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' Some say growing up is a form of cultural travel. You were born in Soviet Ukraine and lived through changing times — how did your childhood and youth in the Soviet Union influence you? '''A:''' I’m glad the borders opened and we gained freedom of movement. Some people don’t realise that freedom, or they simply don’t need it. I wrote a short essay on this called [[:ru:w:b:Бомж-туризм/«Выученная беспомощность» по отношению к дальним странствиям|“Learned helplessness of long-distance travel”]]. As for me personally, I was born in Crimea. [[w:Transfer of Crimea to Ukraine| That region was at the time transferred]] to the [[:w:Soviet Ukraine|Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]] without the consent of the population. '''Q:''' Looking back at your youthful experiences abroad, how have time and developments such as technology changed the travel experience itself? '''A:''' I didn’t travel in my youth because the borders were closed. Of course I did visit places such as Moscow, Leningrad and Tallinn, but Soviet cities resembled one another. In my childhood the word “tourist” was often illustrated by a person in trainers with a rucksack climbing a mountain. Today the same word more often conjures another picture: someone on a beach wearing sunglasses, lying on a deck chair under a palm tree, with turquoise sea nearby. Everything flows, everything changes. ([[:w:q:Viktor Pinchuk|Victor’s quotes]].) '''Q:''' Many people are stuck in jobs and need a thorough rest during their holidays. For those who can’t travel far but need relaxation and a sense of meaning, what would you suggest? '''A:''' Those people are not free; I don’t really want to talk about them. They say they “can’t” go abroad, but in fact they simply don’t want to. '''Q:''' World Tourism Day is coming. How do you think commercial tourism can be connected with exploratory travel? '''A:''' They have nothing to do with each other, nor is there any need to link them. There’s a Russian proverb: [[:ru:w:d:сравнить божий дар с яичницей|don’t compare God’s gift to a fried egg]]. '''Q:''' Have you encountered legal or judicial problems while travelling? How did you handle them? '''A:''' [[:ru:w:b:Экспедиция Виктора Пинчука к островам Океании|I was expelled from Fiji.]] To get to Vanuatu, Tonga or Samoa one must often transit through Fiji. The fourth time I returned to Fiji I had no onward ticket. I had intended to try to apply for an Australian visa in Suva, but I was detained at the airport. After being “detained” (in practice kept in a hotel) for two weeks I was deported back to Moscow via Singapore, even though there were four three-month Fiji visas in my passport. I also wrote a book about that trip, [[:ru:w:b:Два месяца странствий и 14 дней за решеткой|Two Months of Wandering and Fourteen Days Behind Bars]]. [[File:Russian traveller Viktor Pinchuk (Pentecost Island).jpg|thumb|left|350px|Enjoy breakfast with the locals, this is the authentic diet{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' Are the scarcely visited and described-as-“primitive” regions always dangerous in your view? '''A:''' No — on the contrary, those places are not dangerous. I was robbed in a big city centre (an [[:ru:w:b:Бомж-туризм/Ограбление по-африкански|African-style robbery]]), in full view of dozens of passers-by who were not surprised; they were used to it. That happened in Johannesburg, a city with a high Human Development Index. Someone had warned me I would be robbed there in public and I thought it was an exaggeration. A Chinese translation of a newspaper article about that incident can be found on [[:en:w:s:Translation:African style robbery|Wikisource]]. Another dangerous place is the big cities of Papua New Guinea. The reason is that local people are very poor while prices are extremely high. They may take knives to the street to get food in order to survive. Small villages are safer. '''Q:''' When you encounter sharp cultural clashes or misunderstandings, how do you usually handle them? Any memorable experiences? '''A:''' I always adapt to local realities, and for that reason I have rarely had conflicts. I wrote an [[:en:w:b:Cultural travel|online textbook on cultural travel]]. [[File:Viktor Pinchuk in Mauritania.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Pinchuk (left) in Mauritania, 2025{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' Long journeys with creative purpose are full of uncertainty — how do you adjust your mindset, especially when coping with setbacks? '''A:''' Indeed, travel often brings unplanned situations. For example, on my most recent African trip I planned to go to Niger, Nigeria and Algeria but did not succeed. There is an old saying: “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.” I even obtained a visa and paid for Gambia, but in the end I did not go because of lack of time. Online you can find [[:ru:w:b:Категория:Проект «Магриб+»|project files for my international “Maghreb+” project]] (files 4, 5 and 6 concern Gambia, Senegal and Niger respectively). '''Q:''' Taking a few photos and jotting down notes is not hard, but how do you produce long travelogues or systematic works? '''A:''' I never write anything while travelling. In the early 2000s I used to travel with film cameras (Zenit, FED, etc.) and trips were short enough that I could barely organise the material. But if a trip lasts half a year and involves ten or more countries you cannot do without digital cameras. I always mark the location, time and content of photos in a notebook. Back home I then reorder events chronologically. That is the only method; there is no alternative. '''Q:''' Are there tools, simple tricks or methods you use on the road that you find particularly useful for travel and creation? '''A:''' I use techniques from my own manual [[:ru:w:b:Бомж-туризм|“Hobo Tourism”]] (that’s a literal Russian title and is difficult to translate). The most interesting part describes seemingly extreme lodging methods: graveyards, public toilets, police stations, etc. This manual is important to me; much of my exploratory activity is founded on it. There is also an [[:en:w:b:Hobo tourism|English translation]]. [[File:Modern vagrant.jpg|thumb|right|280px|In Bolivia, 2015{{image source|[[Commons:User:Виктор Пинчук|Виктор Пинчук]]}}]] '''Q:''' Do you encourage more people to go and research scarcely visited regions? '''A:''' No — everyone should do what they are good at and interested in. Dropping everything to copy me is wrong. I wrote a psychological essay, “Learned helplessness of long-distance travel”, about the mindset of people born in the Soviet Union; this may be hard for foreigners to understand. I’ve also written a [[:ru:w:b:Азы фотоискусства/Фотовыставка будущего|new article]] about my ideas for the “photography exhibition of the future”. By the way, I am the author of a [[:en:w:b:Basics of fine-art photography|textbook]] that lists almost every school, style and direction of photographic art. Nowadays most readers dislike long texts, so it is full of illustrations — all of them my own works for interested readers to explore further. '''Q:''' Anything else you’d like to say? '''A:''' I’m not prepared at the moment. Improvisation is impossible; it requires careful thought. === Gallery === <gallery mode="packed" heights="200" style="margin:auto"> Russian traveller Viktor Pinchuk (in Africa).jpg|In Soddo, Ethiopia, 2006 Russian traveller Viktor Pinchuk (Khartum, Sudan).jpg|In Khartoum, Sudan, 2011 Russian traveller Viktor Pinchuk (Sumbava Island).jpg|On Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, 2013 Two friends (Bunlap).jpg|Friends met on Pentecost Island, [[:zh:w:voy:瓦努阿图|Vanuatu]], 2019 Cemetery in Kamakura.jpg|Overnight stay in Kamakura, Japan Библиотека им.

See [[Template talk:Lead 2.0#Edit Request: 27-09-2025]]. }} '''Main page leads''' are the five featured articles displayed prominently on the Wikinews main page. As a news site, keeping these leads updated with the most recently published articles is an important part of the publishing workflow. Highlighting newly published work on the main page ensures that articles reach more readers who may visit the site directly. Typically, the reviewer who publishes an article also updates the leads. However, if you notice that your article hasn't been added, or suspect it might be overlooked, you can politely '''ping the reviewer''' with the link on the talk page. {{Clickable button|Request Lead Update|url=https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews_talk:Main_Page_Leads&action=edit&section=new&preloadtitle=Lead%20Update%20Request:%20{{CURRENTYEAR}}%20{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}%20{{CURRENTDAY}}|class=mw-ui-progressive}} {{Clickable button|Refresh|url=https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title={{FULLPAGENAMEE}}&action=purge|class=mw-ui-progressive}} == Most Recently Published Articles == <DynamicPageList> category=Published notcategory=Disputed count=7 suppresserrors=true ordermethod=categoryadd addfirstcategorydate=true stablepages=only namespace=main </DynamicPageList> == Current Leads == {| class="the_table" |- |colspan="3" class="lead_big upper_lead"| <!-- Lead 1 --> {{Lead article 1}} |- |class="lead_normal upper_lead"| <!-- Lead 2 --> {{Lead article 2}} |class="lead_normal"| <!-- Lead 3 --> {{Lead article 3}} |- |class="lead_normal"| <!-- Lead 4 --> {{Lead article 4}} |class="lead_normal"| <!-- Lead 5 --> {{Lead article 5}} |- |} == Updating the Leads == The following tools are available to help reviewers and editors manage the main page leads: * [[Wikinews:Make lead|Make Lead]]: A classic JavaScript tool that allows reviewers to create lead templates one at a time.

Also supports automatic sighting of revisions. == Best Practices == The following are some recommendations and long-standing practices. These are not strict guidelines, but following them will help keep the leads consistent and reader friendly. * Always '''sight''' the edit after updating a lead template. * Whenever possible, include an '''image'''. If the article has none, you may use a suitable generic image, but try to avoid leaving the image parameter empty. * Keep the '''summary short''': usually 1-2 sentences are enough. * Avoid time-sensitive words such as "today" or "yesterday" in the lead summary. Instead, use the actual date (e.g., "On 26 September 2025, …"). ru1p9np8bge4r8mgbp147apd529lyp6 0 3023057 4888571 4887297 2025-10-17T20:47:49Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Taskforce launched as search for Gus Lamont expands in South Australia's north]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4887297 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Australia}} {{date|October 14, 2025}} [[File:South Australia in Australia.svg|thumb|left|A map indicating the state of South Australia.{{image|[[c:User:TUBS|User:TUBS]]}} ]] Police have launched a taskforce to search for August "Gus" Lamont in his family's station in the mid-north of South Australia, according to South Austrailian Police Commissioner Grant Stevens. The taskforce, announced October 14 and entitled Taskforce Horizon, will consist of specialists who would resume investigations into the situation. Lamont is a four-year-old boy who disappeared on September 27, and has been described by police as white with curly blonde hair, and was wearing a grey hat, a blue [[w:inions (Despicable Me)|Minions]] shirt, light grey pants, and boots. The investigation into his disappearance has involved both the police and the Australian Defence Force (ADF), according to ''{{w|news.com.au}}''. Searches of the surrounding area were conducted by police on the night of Lamont’s disappearance with no results, according to ''{{w|Sky News Australia}}''. Additional searches covering a two-and-a-half kilometre radius were also unsuccessful. ''{{w|News.com.au}}'' reported that Lamont had been playing in the sand in his backyard before he disappeared. Yorke Mid North Superintendent Mark Syrus said he is believed to have walked further from the property before getting lost, and described him as "quiet" but "adventurous." Syrus added that the boy’s grandmother went outside that night to look for him but could not find him, and that she and other family members searched the area before contacting authorities. Commissioner Stevens stated that there was no indication of foul play. He added that the family are cooperating with the police. The Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, stated that he had been informed about the situation and that additional resources were not requested from the government. "It's a new effort. I am confident police are treating the situation with all the seriousness and dedication it deserves." {{haveyoursay}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-14/search-for-gus-focuses-on-expanded-area-in-outback-sa/105886332 |title=Taskforce launched as search for Gus expands in SA's mid-north |pub=ABC News |date=October 14, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.news.com.au/national/south-australia/search-for-missing-4year-old-gus-to-resume-on-remote-south-australia-property/news-story/3150fbb6047ee5a9ab5d7e21b5b71dc2 |title=Search for missing 4-year-old Gus to resume on remote South Australia property |author=Emma Kirk |pub=news.com.au |date=October 14, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://people.com/police-search-missing-4-year-old-boy-wearing-minions-shirt-11821182 |title=Police Comb Through Wilderness for Boy, 4, Last Seen Wearing Minions Shirt, Who Has Been Missing Since Saturday |author=Rachel McRady |pub=People |date=September 30, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-01/missing-boy-search-yunta-fifth-day/105835630 |title=Search enters fifth day for missing four-year-old boy on property near Yunta |author= |pub=ABC News (Australia) |date=September 30, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-29/sa-missing-boy-update-monday/105829242 |title=Police horses and water operations join 'extensive' search for missing 4yo |author= |pub=ABC News (Australia) |date=September 29, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/crime/authorities-race-to-find-missing-fouryearold-boy-in-regional-south-australia-as-mammoth-search-enters-third-day/news-story/e40b911ff99548785e3f2072b4bddd86 |title=Authorities race to find missing four-year-old boy in regional South Australia as mammoth search enters third day |author=Charlie Tchetchenian |pub=Sky News Australia |date=September 29, 2025 }} [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Missing persons]] {{Publish}} elv1ri0yevwu3qa3qvdunma5f0if925 102 3023118 4881390 2025-09-30T01:37:39Z 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]] 4881390 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Commentary/LQT}}{{#useliquidthreads:1}} <!-- Leave this line alone. --><noinclude> {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Comments||[[Category:Preload templates]]}} </noinclude> mttswn0n013o0kfdbgsvarj07wmmn77 10 3023140 4881456 2025-09-30T10:58:37Z Flow talk page manager 1546238 /* Automatically created by Flow */ 4881456 wikitext text/x-wiki This revision was imported from LiquidThreads with a suppressed user.

{{W|New York City}}, due to a blast around 8:10 in the incinerator shaft at 207 Alexander Avenue, according to the fire department. 40 apartments were evacuated, and a canine rescue squad assisted in the search of the building. The cause is unknown, but a gas leak is suspected. At the time, a spokesperson for the {{W|New York City Housing Authority}}, which owns the building, said apartments will all be inspected and that tenants may be relocated. A week after the collapse, the {{W|New York Post}} ran an editorial about how the solution to prevent this from happening is privatization of public housing, attempting to use this to comment on the mayoral race currently happening. 8 days after the collapse, Mundo Obrero Workers World ran a piece commenting on how the neglect of public housing is a deliberate plan on the account of the administration, who wishes to see it fail. == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.workers.org/2025/10/88340/ |title = ‘Protect the Bronx’ coalition on Mitchel Houses partial building collapse |author = Bronx Anti-War Coalition |pub = Mundo Obrero Workers World |date = October 9 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://nypost.com/2025/10/08/opinion/nychas-bronx-building-collapse-and-public-housings-disastrous-disrepair/ |title = NYCHA’s Bronx building collapse and public housing’s disastrous disrepair |author = Post Editorial Board |pub = NY Post |date = October 8 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://gothamist.com/news/nycha-building-partially-collapses-in-bronx-fdny-says |title = NYCHA building partially collapses in Bronx, no injuries yet reported by city officials |author = Brittany Kriegstein, Ben Feuerherd, Liam Quigley and David Brand |pub = Gothamist |date = October 1 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://abc7ny.com/post/bronx-apartment-building-partially-collapses/17916688/ |title = Gas explosion causes collapse at NYCHA Bronx apartment building |author = Eyewitness News |pub = ABC 7 NY |date = October 1 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://pix11.com/news/local-news/bronx/partial-collapse-of-apartment-building-in-nyc-after-gas-incident/ |title = Partial collapse of apartment building in NYC after gas explosion: FDNY |author = Dominique Jack, Kirstin Cole |pub = Pix11 |date = October 1 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:New York]] [[Category:Bronx]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] k9zakexq3hi4ga5v8l8g5bmd7jppi47 0 3023285 4881836 2025-10-01T16:32:42Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [[Zelensky awards the former Ukrainian parliament Chairman Andriy Parubiy, killed in Lviv, the title of Hero of Ukraine]] to [[Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy awards the former Ukrainian parliament Chairman Andriy Parubiy, killed in Lviv, the title of Hero of Ukraine]] 4881836 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy awards the former Ukrainian parliament Chairman Andriy Parubiy, killed in Lviv, the title of Hero of Ukraine]] 4oodhpmy8miuw5wismuqu4i37jl6qmu 0 3023390 4881961 2025-10-01T22:05:03Z Metropolitan90 314212 Metropolitan90 moved page [[Contoversy around Riyadh Comedy Festival]] to [[Controversy around Riyadh Comedy Festival]]: Misspelled title: "contoversy" should be "controversy" 4881961 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Controversy around Riyadh Comedy Festival]] 6h6rdpdf0i2ego65npfkcafveq1ees2 0 3023402 4886660 4886132 2025-10-13T15:15:23Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4884729 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|October 9, 2025}} [[File:Logo Global Sumud Flotilla.svg|thumb|Logo Global Sumud Flotilla]] {{Israel}} Israeli naval forces began intercepting the {{W|Global Sumud Flotilla}} on the night of October 1 about 70 nautical miles west of {{W|Gaza}}. By October 9 at least seven of the more than 450 people detained remain in custody, according to Israeli media reported. This flotilla is made up of civilian volunteers from various countries and aims to deliver humanitarian aid to war-torn [[:Category:Gaza Strip|Gaza]]. Israel commented the interceptions were part of a "lawful naval blockade". Witnesses quoted by ''Gulf News'' said Israeli vessels used water-cannon bursts to force boats to stop; the navy has not commented on tactics. The Polish-flagged yacht Marinette – the last vessel still transmitting – was stopped at 10:29 local time on October 3, 42.5 n mi from Gaza, according to the flotilla’s own tracker. Israel’s Foreign Ministry said all detainees are “safe and in good health” and was arranging voluntary deportations; however, accroding to ''{{W|The Guardian}}'''s report on October 4, that {{W|Greta Thunberg}} had reported dehydration and insufficient food and water and suffered from “mistreatment” during her time in Israeli custody to officials from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Turkish activist Ersin Çelik and Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino told ''Al Jazeera'' and ''Euronews'' that soldiers dragged Thunberg by her hair, draped an Israeli flag over her and took selfies – allegations the Foreign Ministry dismissed as “brazen lies”. Diplomatic fallout widened after the first interceptions: [[Colombia]] expelled Israel’s diplomatic delegation and suspended a free-trade agreement on October 1, while [[:Category:Turkey|Turkey]]’s Foreign Ministry dubbed the raid “an act of piracy” on October 3. On October 4, One of Italy’s largest unions, Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro along with the grassroots Unione Sindicale di Baseetc etc, has organized more than 2 million people across Italy rallied in over 100 cities for a one-day general strike, at the same time ten of thousands people marched in [[Barcelona]]. On October 8, another humanitarian flotilla was intercepted. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announced that a Gaza aid flotilla it organized was intercepted by Israeli forces at sea, including one ship from Global Sumud Flotilla("Conscience"). The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that approximately 150 passengers on board had been transferred to an Israeli port and would be promptly deported. The Turkish parliament unanimously passed a motion on October 8, condemning Israel's "attack on Turkish parliamentarians and citizens" and demanding the immediate release of the relevant personnel, because there are many Turkish citizens and three Turkish parliamentarians on board the "Conscience". {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0lk292jww4o? |title = Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound flotilla |author = Ruth Comerford |pub = BBC News |date = October 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2025/10/01/g-s1-91522/gaza-aid-flotilla-sumud-israel? |title = Activists say Israel's navy has begun intercepting a Gaza-bound aid flotilla |author = |pub = The Associated Press, NPR |date = October 1, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/08/israel-intercepts-another-gaza-aid-flotilla-amid-criticism-over-treatment-of-activists |title = Israel intercepts another Gaza aid flotilla amid criticism over treatment of activists |author = |pub = The Guardian |date = October 8, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/released-gaza-flotilla-activists-allege-mistreatment-while-being-detained-in-israel |title = Released Gaza flotilla activists allege mistreatment while being detained in Israel |author = |pub = PBS NewsHour |date = October 5, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/06/gaza-flotilla-members-allege-beatings-and-insults-in-israeli-detention |title = Gaza flotilla members allege beatings and insults in Israeli detention |author = |pub = The Guardian |date = October 6, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2025/10/7/gaza-bound-conscience-sails-as-activists-brace-for-israeli-interception |title = Gaza-bound Conscience sails as activists brace for Israeli interception |author = |pub = Al Jazeera English |date = October 7, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2025/10/08/gazabound-aid-flotilla-says-several-boats-intercepted-by-israel- |title = Gaza-bound aid flotilla says several boats intercepted by Israel |author = |pub = Al Arabiya English |date = October 8, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/gaza-bound-aid-flotilla-says-several-boats-intercepted-by-israel-1.500298575 |title = Gaza-bound aid flotilla says several boats intercepted by Israel |author = |pub = Gulf News |date = October 2, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13955647/Greta-Thunberg-hero-welcome-Greece-deported-Israel-IDF-claims-dragged-hair-beaten.html |title = Greta Thunberg is given a hero's welcome by crowd cheering 'Free Palestine' as she arrives in Greece after being deported from Israel amid claims she was 'dragged by her hair and beaten' by IDF |author = |pub = Daily Mail |date = October 5, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-draws-global-condemnation-for-gaza-flotilla-interception-protests-in-europe/ |title = Shops, restaurants vandalized in many cities to protest Israel’s flotilla interception |author = |pub = Times of Israel |date = October 6, 2025 }} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Gaza Strip]] [[Category:Climate change]] [[Category:Palestine]] [[Category:Activists]] [[Category:Greta Thunberg]] [[Category:Human rights]] {{Publish}} 444etzoyhugwms8nuor01kpq31slnw8 14 3023414 4882020 2025-10-01T23:31:37Z BigKrow 2871522 Page created with "https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg_named_2019_Time_Person_of_the_Year" 4882020 wikitext text/x-wiki https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg_named_2019_Time_Person_of_the_Year ocreoxm9bop6ddh4ckz54i8luz8afdt 0 3023437 4888501 4888485 2025-10-17T17:11:52Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Not ready when reviewed: article needs improvement(s).

This forced him to visit a hospital to have it removed. Rotar, who goes by ZONEofTECH on {{W|Youtube}}, was flying back from {{w|Hawaii}} at the time. He posted on social media regarding the swelling ring, asking for advice but not receiving any he could act on. When Rotar tried to board his connecting flight, he was not allowed on board for safety issues. After the incident, Rotar posted photos of his finger, which appeared injured, but he stated he thought it would heal. Many theories exist for why the ring swelled up, which Samsung maintains is a rare occurance. Rotar cites high heat, salt water, multiple flights, and an already failing battery as possible contributing factors. Samsung recommends always rinsing the ring with clean water and wiping it off before using it. The incident has caused a good deal of negative feelings toward and fear of smart rings regarding their safety. Previous issues with Samsung devices include A Galaxy A21 catching fire on an Alaskan Airlines flight, and the FAA banning the Galaxy Note 7 from flights in 2016. On October 10, Business Report revealed that battery issues are a common problem with this model of smart ring, also reporting that Samsung has taken Rotar's ring to perform an investigation. == Sources == *{{source |url = https://businessreport.co.za/technology/gadgets/2025-10-10-samsung-galaxy-ring-of-fire-tech-reviewer-misses-flight-due-to-overheating-wearable/ |title = Samsung Galaxy ‘Ring of Fire’?

The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. The extension has three features: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration list|Collaboration List]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Connection Team/Invitation list|Invitation List]]. To request the extension for your wiki, visit the Deployment information page.

This enhancement minimizes scrolling when editing lengthy articles on Wikipedia. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401066] * On September 3rd, 2025 we will increase the sampling percentages of our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools/Watchlist/Experiment#Scope of the experiment|group by toggle experiment]] of the <code>Special:RecentChanges</code>, <code>Special:Watchlist</code>, and <code>Special:RelatedChanges</code> pages on the Chinese, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias to 100 percent, allowing more editors to be part of this experiment.

'''Weekly highlight''' * [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1758726000 On September 24th at 15:00 UTC], all Wikimedia sites users will experience a brief read-only period due to a scheduled [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter server switchover]]. The Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team will redirect all traffic from one primary server to its backup. You can listen to the switchover using the [http://listen.hatnote.com/ "Listen to Wikipedia"] tool, where you will hear edits stop for a few minutes during the read-only phase, then resume. This twice-yearly datacenter server switchover ensures reliability by testing the backup datacenter, so that our sites can stay online even if the primary datacenter fails. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the process on the Diff blog]]. '''Updates for editors''' * Editors of [[f:Special:Mylanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-09-12#Next round of Wiktionaries to receive embedded Wikifunctions calls|60 more Wiktionaries]] will soon be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them into their pages. A function takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, like adding numbers, converting miles to meters, calculating elapsed time, or declining a word into a case. They will join the other [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2025-08-29#Wikifunctions available on 65 Wiktionaries|65 Wiktionary language editions]], which already have access to embedded Wikifunctions calls. Later this year, plans are in place to expand to more Wiktionaries and the Incubator. * A new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#Technical metadata of another page|parser function]] has been added: <code><nowiki>{{#contentmodel}}</nowiki></code>. Template editors and admins can use it to get the localized or canonical name of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:ChangeContentModel|content model]] of a specific page. The function makes it easier to create and edit system messages, such as ''MediaWiki:editinginterface'', even when you switch types of pages, like wiki, JavaScript, CSS or JSON page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328254] * Adding or editing a <code>DISPLAYTITLE</code> for an article using VisualEditor will no longer be broken. Editors who use VisualEditor mode to modify the <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki></code> would no longer have the literal text "DISPLAYTITLE" or its localized variant added to their articles. A list of pages that may have been affected and might need cleanup is documented in [[phab:P83438|this ticket]]. * Beta users of the Wikipedia Android app can now try the redesigned [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Activity Tab Experiment|Activity tab]], which replaces the Edits tab. The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:12}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:12|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

The update introduces performance improvements, a refreshed search interface, enhancements to Maniphest task search, updates to user profile pages and project workboards, new Herald automation features, as well as general text input, mobile experience improvements and more. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/321/iterative_improvements_september_2025/] '''Updates for editors''' * The Community Tech team will release the new Community Wishlist extension on October 1, that will improve the way wishes will be submitted. The new extension will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances. The old system will be retired. There will be a brief period of downtime while the extension is deployed and wishes are migrated to the new system. You can read more about this [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Updates|in the latest update]] or you can consult the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CommunityRequests|current documentation on MediaWiki]]. * As announced [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|on Diff blog]], the production trial of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha|hCaptcha]] service for bot detection has begun. The trial is currently using hCaptcha to protect account creation on Chinese, Persian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Turkish Wikipedias, where it will replace our existing [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|CAPTCHA]] (FancyCaptcha). The goal with the trial is to better block bots while also improving usability and accessibility for users who encounter CAPTCHA challenges. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|deployed]] to Wikimedia Commons. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. On Commons, anyone who is a registered user can use it as an event participant. To use it as an organizer, someone needs to have the [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Event organizers|event organizer right]]. * [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to German Wikipedia. You can [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#test|test the feature]] on testwiki or [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Sub-referencing on betawiki] as well. Please share your thoughts on [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Templates used in sub-references|using templates in sub-references]] or [[:m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Pilot wikis|volunteer to become a pilot wiki]]. * On wikis using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|Mentorship]] system, communities can now opt experienced editors out of Mentorship through [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship}}]]. Within this setting, communities may define thresholds, based on edit count and account age, to decide when an editor is considered experienced enough to no longer receive Mentorship. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403563] * The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Tone Check|Tone check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Tone language model for the following languages: Arabic, Czech, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Norwegian, Romanian and Latvian. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check/Tone_Check/Model_evaluation|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on October 3, which will be the start date of the test. * The rollout of [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|multiblocks]] had the side effect that non-active block logs may have been shown on {{#special:Contributions}} and on blocked users' user and user_talk pages. This issue will be fully resolved in a few days. As part of the fix, [{{fullurl:Special:Allmessages|prefix=sp-contributions-blocked-notice}} messages prefixed with <code>sp-contributions-blocked-notice</code>] will be removed and replaced with [{{fullurl:Special:Allmessages|prefix=blocked-notice-logextract}} those prefixed with <code>blocked-notice-logextract</code>] in a few weeks. Please help translate the new messages and update any local overrides if needed. * There was a bug with links added using visual editor if they included characters such as <code dir=ltr><nowiki>[ ] |</nowiki></code> after the fragment identifier (<code><nowiki>#</nowiki></code>). They were not encoded properly creating an incorrect link. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404823] * One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikiquote/en}} in [[d:Q9237|Malay]] ([[q:ms:|<code>q:ms:</code>]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T404698] * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025. [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]]. Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages. Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates. We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement. If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

My personal recommendations with it are as follows: 1. Include a note on article talk page specifying what prompts and with which AI engine were used. 2. My personal recommendation is "Based on urk1 and url2 and any other source you can find, write, in present tense active voice, a headline. Then in the past tense write one paragraph detailing the "who where when what why how". In the next paragraph, also in the past tense, detail other essential newsworthy detail that didn't fit into first paragraph. Then in the third paragraph also in past tense include relevant background. Aim to be neutral. If a part of the text is an opinion, specify who said it. Also aim to include all newsy details and be as specific but also as concise as possible. For any additional sources you used list their URLs for me at the end of the text." 3. Followed by "check your previous text for issues with bias and cross check it against sources. Does the first paragraph answer the 5Ws? List any inaccuracies or biased parts, or essential news updates that are missing." --[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 13:17, 2 October 2025 (UTC) toug34u5ov4ivauvpqp4tr16493er06 8 3023822 4882593 2025-10-03T18:32:18Z Asked42 2864219 For Modularizing the Mediawiki:Common.js. 4882593 javascript text/javascript /* * Adds an RSS feed link to the page header for Portal pages. * Originally from MediaWiki:Common.js */ (function() { try { $(function() { if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') === 100 && $("#rssFeedLink").length) { //portal with cat of same name var link = document.createElement('link'); link.type = 'application/atom+xml'; link.href = mw.config.get('wgScriptPath') + '/index.php?title=Special:NewsFeed&feed=atom&categories=Published%7C' + encodeURIComponent(mw.config.get('wgTitle').replace(' ', "_")) + '{{PAGENAMEE}}&notcategories=No%20publish%7CArchived%7CAutoArchived%7Cdisputed&namespace=0&count=15&ordermethod=categoryadd&stablepages=only'; link.rel = "alternate"; link.title = 'Latest ' + mw.config.get('wgTitle') + ' News (RSS)'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link); } }); } catch (e) { // ignore errors to not break other scripts console.log("Error in RssFeed.js:", e); } })(); b7p5avmvvg2zavhw869yxdtb7hz7bnm 8 3023823 4882594 2025-10-03T18:34:36Z Asked42 2864219 For Modularizing the Mediawiki:Common.js. 4882594 javascript text/javascript /* ==Dynamic Navigation== */ // Makes some dynamic nav boxes auto-close.

The clarification came during a hearing in Newark, New Jersey, where Tadros emphasized that he has maintained perfect compliance with federal regulations since his release because supervision never applied to his case. Despite Tadros’ statements, the judge placed him on ICE supervision until further notice. Tadros described the supervision as “preferable to unlawful detention” and noted that he is still required to renew his work authorization annually. According to Tadros, the confusion arose from a miscommunication while signing an affidavit during a lawyer visit at the Elizabeth Detention Center. The affidavit incorrectly indicated that he had been under ICE supervision since 2009 in which Karem had his lawyer correct before signing. Tadros explained under oath that formal ICE supervision and check-ins never applied to his case, and he has adhered to all obligations since his release. As of October 2025, a request to revise ICE supervision has been filed by Tadros’ lawyers as he continues perfect compliance with officials and is now waiting for a response. Tadros has over a decade of experience as an entrepreneur and currently serves as the chief executive officer of '''Wegovy Alternative''', a company offering plant-based weight management solutions. The case has drawn attention as an example of long-term U.S. residents navigating complex immigration processes while maintaining compliance with federal law. == References == * PBS / NJ Spotlight News (Ted Goldberg Reports) (June 19, 2025).

[https://www.irna.ir/news/85399415 IRNA, 8 Esfand 1402] Keshavarz stated that his campaign focuses on supporting domestic production, job creation, social justice, and transparency. He said he plans to work through the parliamentary Commission on Civil Engineering (Komision Omran) to attract both domestic and overseas investment to Fars province. [https://www.irna.ir/news/85399415 IRNA] He emphasized the strategic importance of Shiraz in culture and health tourism, highlighting the “City of Health” project located at the city’s northern entrance. According to Keshavarz, completing this large-scale project could generate over 50,000 direct and indirect jobs and therefore should be prioritized for completion. [https://www.irna.ir/news/85399415 IRNA] The candidate also cited housing as a national priority, calling for the advancement of the “National Housing Movement” and the relocation of military garrisons outside urban areas to free land for housing development. [https://www.irna.ir/news/85399415 IRNA] According to the same IRNA report, the parliamentary election for Shiraz and Zargan will be held on 11 March 2024 (21 Esfand 1402).

I am proposing that a user is presented with a link to a "collaboration checklist for journalism" that contains some key principles that may help. I would put the following entries into it: * I modified your account settings as [[Wikinews:Watching pages]] says. * I will not submit an article for review unless it is 100% complete from my point of view. * I will notify other users of my availability. If i need to go away for a few hours, or days, i will write this on the talk page of an article I am editing or its talk page, or my user page. This will help others know that they need to edit my article for me and need not waste their time waiting. * If an edit i made or an article i wrote has new tasks, either because the news developed or another user left a note on talk page or another user made an edit, i will aim to respond to it immediately. I will aim to address everything it asks about professionally and with enquisitive attitude. News requires fast work. I will cooperate, and fast. * When commenting on another article someone else wrote, or commenting on it at talk page, including a reviewer comment, I will itemise my points and clearly specify what action is required to be done. The feedback needs to be CLEAR and ACTIONABLE. If someone else's comments anywhere do not look helpful like this then I will request a clarification, or clarify them myself as thus may help other users understand what needs to be done. * i will have brevity of my comments and will keep in mind that there may be language barrier. * i will be proactive by addressing feedback and checking a news developments which were not yet discussed, in case I can expand or update an article. * i will keep myself aware of the other users not being available to edit due to unavailability, and filling in for them when i can. This should avoid delays. This had been identified previously as a major factor in delaying editing and publishing. * after i write an article i will tey to maximize my availability to collaborate on it for the next 2 days, as this has been identified as a major risk factor in delaying publication. * I will help other users by checking other articles in the Newsroom; checking my Echo notifications configured according to the "Watching pages" step above; and/or checking recent changes. i will provide feedback and editing to bring all artickes to 100% complete and up to date. * i will code or help to test new software for Wikinews, by participating in the technical wayer cooler discissions * if i speak a second language, i will translate at least one article a fortnight to it. * i will indicate my real time social media, such as [[WN:IRC]] or discord or telegram or matrix, either on my user page or in a private message to Geyllida to get added to the Wikinews collaboration group on these platforms. * I will read out loud at least one news article every fortnight and get it added to the Wkkinews Audio project. * i understand that all of the above is time consuming and i cannot do it 365 days a year. I will plan regular breaks which will not be in middle of me writing a new article, to ensure i can come back to my next news collaboration shift in full capacity. I will establish a routing or schedule, that will keep me regularly available and will allow sufficient rest to prevent burnout. If appropriate i will share my routine with other users at my user page. please let me know what you think. The user @[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] may be interested in the item 2. thanks [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:23, 3 August 2025 (UTC) :Hi @[[User:George Ho|George Ho]] @[[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] @[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] @[[User:Back ache|Back ache]] @[[User:Md Mobashir Hossain|Md Mobashir Hossain]] @[[User:Almondo2025|Almondo2025]], @[[User:Dsuke1998AEOS|Dsuke1998AEOS]], @[[User:Ternera|Ternera]], @[[User:Monsieur2137|Monsieur2137]] @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]], @[[User:Sheminghui.WU|Sheminghui.WU]], @[[User:Excelblue|excelblue]] (if you want yourself removed or someone else added to this list, please inquire [[Template talk:Pingrr|here]]) [[Category:Revision requested]] A revision has been requested. Here is a list of what to do. (If/when you intend to start working on it, please '''Subscribe to this section and to this talk page''', and post reply messages here when you started and finished editing) See below: <mark>1. check the proposed text above, copy it to a wiki page and mark it as draft, and leave your feedback either here or at the talk page of the wiki page.</mark> thanks [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 17:52, 6 August 2025 (UTC) ::I showed up ready to say "No no no, our problem is a huge barrier to entry. All these fussy, unnecessary rules will only turn people off," but then I read what Gryllida actually wrote. Some of these things are pretty good. ::*"I will not submit an article for review unless it is 100% complete from my point of view," is good! It's well phrased and it addresses a real problem that we have head-on. ::But if I could summarize my feelings about most of the rest of this list, it's that it demands things to which Wikinews has no right. A lot of this stuff wouldn't even be okay for a boss to demand of employees at a paid job. They're ''sacrifices'', of safety and privacy. Right now, Wikinews does not have the kind of prestige that might make demanding sacrifices reasonable. Wikipedia doesn't either. If people ''want'' to volunteer for the audio project or translate an article a month, that's fine, but we shouldn't demand it. This is a volunteer project. ::*"I will notify others of my availability," is bad. 1) That's posting publicly on the Internet that it would be a good time for someone to rob your apartment. 2) It's nosy. Wikinewsies just generally aren't entitled to that much information about other people's lives. Even real-life employers don't get to know what you have planned for the weekend. 3) This is an all-volunteer project and if someone wants to decide in the moment when they feel like contributing instead of planning ahead, that's their right. ::*Requiring that feedback be addressed? Bad. We've seen that this causes fights and bad feelings. "Say absolutely nothing" needs to remain among the drafter's options. ::*Identify yourself on Telegram or social media? That outs people. Wikipedia actively advises people to have a different username, for numerous reasons. I've been very glad of WP:OUTING over the years and I've been careful not to out myself. Heck, it was eight years before I told anyone whether I was male or female. Read aloud with your actual voice? That outs people too. ::*"I wil code..." 1) I'm worried that people who can't code will just not contribute to Wikinews. 2) Again, we're a volunteer project and we don't get to demand more work if people don't want to do it. ::So I'd say the main question here is whether to add the good points to the new-user guide or whether to make a new one from scrach and which points this community thinks are good. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 12:06, 8 August 2025 (UTC) :::I've been thinking about it off and on all day, and maybe some of Gryllida's ideas could be put in a "Hey, here are some ways to contribute that you might not have thought of. Did you know we have an audio project?" article. Essay level would suit. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 21:33, 8 August 2025 (UTC) :::1. I disagree about advertising availability being a bad thing. I do not know where you are, so i cannot rob you. The reason why i added it is because often after writing a story the author vanishes; i do not even know that they did, and manually checking this takes a lot of time. Maybe putting this into a computer program could helo; when requesting something of a article revision, if no revision was made within 2 hours, a bot could post the request to the assistance water cooler. :::2. I disagree "say nothing" in response to feedback is a valid option. This causes delays in collaboration. As there is currently no software to autonatically detect this situation and shove a big flashing alert in my face when it happened with one of the dozen articles i commented on today, it would be much helpful, easy and respectful if the user left me a ping indicating "no, i will not work on it". :::3. It is not necessary to specify telegram nick (though i did, in my user page). Suffices to say that you have an account. Anyone interested can query you privately to connect, and/or invite you to join a telegram group for Wikinews . I will post its url in the page shortly; there are also a group in discord and matrix . :::4. If not coding, it is helpful to test software and propose new ideas :::5. This is a checklist, not an Oath. Users are welcome to post it on their user talk page and tick only the options which they consider necessary. I can mark which of them i consider optional, as around 70% i think are highly recommended or required. :::Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 19:56, 10 August 2025 (UTC) == Training == Hello, I am proposing to run online training workshops for news writing. To coordinate this i prepared a page [[Wikinews:Training/Members]] If you're interested in sharing your knowledge or express interest in learning a particular scope, or just hang around, please add your nick to the page. Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:03, 10 August 2025 (UTC) :Before we address anything else, do we already have a pool of people who have said they want to receiving this education or a plan for getting one? Because this plan works if we do but not if we don't. :I looked at your page and it's got a lot to be said for it. It's neatly divided into useful subjects (which it is) and acknowledges that some of us would only want to contribute on-wiki while others would be open to Telegram or phone calls (which it does). Both those things make it easier for people to contribute what they want and not what they don't want. It would really help us organize our efforts if too many potential trainees were our problem. I see some room for constructive criticism but it can wait until if we ever put it into action. :Rules and systems are fun to make. They're freaking fun! But if they don't solve the problem, then they're just another barrier for newcomers to claw through. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 13:01, 10 August 2025 (UTC) ::I invited expression of interest, so if you are interested in learning. something, you are welcome to join the pool. ::I hope this system is not too challenging for new users as all they need to do is express interest and later pick half an hour of their time to attend. This interest includes "interest in a tutorial on this"; if they do not want to attend real time, they do not have to.

More than 300 personnel from local, state, and federal agencies responded to help search and investigate the scene of the incident. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis stated that it could take months to rule out foul play. Local electricity provider Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative worked in the aftermath to restore power and internet to the local area. Nineteen people were initially reported missing and no survivors were found at the scene. An additional four or five people were injured on surrounding plant grounds and were treated at local hospitals. Authorities revised the number of missing to sixteen after three individuals believed to have been at the facility were found to be at home or elsewhere at the time of the explosion. The names of the sixteen deceased were released on October 14. == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0e9lyypedjt?post=asset%3Ac40b7153-540f-467c-83a1-aa52caaaf3b8#post |title=Nineteen missing after Tennessee munitions factory explosion |author= |pub=BBC |date=October 10, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0e9lyypedjt?post=asset%3Ab3f97261-a639-42d1-8ccf-463f62356e64#post |title=Patients being treated for ‘minor injuries’ at nearby hospitals |author= |pub=BBC |date=October 10, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0e9lyypedjt?post=asset%3A4b3ca748-7989-457a-901f-991cbc606c4a#post |title=Energy provider working to restore power |author= |pub=BBC |date=October 10, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.tn.gov/tema/news/2025/10/11/flash-report--4-explosion-in-hickman-county.html |title=Flash Report #4 Explosion in Hickman County |author= |pub=Tennessee Emergency Management Agency |date=October 11, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/explosion-tennessee-accurate-energetic-systems/ |title=No survivors after deadly blast at Tennessee military explosives plant, sheriff says |author= |pub=CBS News |date=October 11, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/11/us/tennessee-explosion-military-accurate-energetic-systems-wwk-hnk |title=Massive blast that destroyed a Tennessee explosive plant leaves 16 dead, officials say |author= |pub=CNN |date=October 11, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/no-survivors-from-blast-at-tennessee-explosives-factory-sheriff-says |title=No survivors from blast at Tennessee explosives factory, sheriff says |author= |pub=PBS News Hour |date=October 11, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2025/10/11/tennessee-explosion-updates-accurate-energetic-systems-hickman-county-tn/86644399007/ |title=Humphreys County Sheriff says 16 are dead in Hickman Co. explosion: Oct. 11 live updates |pub=The Tennessean |date=October 11, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98n4g3p1x8o |title=Authorities identify 16 killed in Tennessee explosives factory blast |pub=BBC |date=October 14, 2025}} [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Tennessee]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] c2l7iugj97kcy2za9bevrdit4da97h8 0 3026639 4890607 4889753 2025-10-21T23:21:52Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black performs as part of Vaginal Davis' exhibit at MoMA PS1]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4889753 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|October 20, 2025}} [[File:Voluptuoushorror- 12.jpg|thumb|Members of The Voluptuous Horror holding up signs that read 'no killing.' {{Image|[[c:User:Alex Lozupone|Alex Lozupone]]}}]] Beginning October 9, 2025, through March 2, 2026, {{W|MoMA PS1}}, in {{w|Long Island City}}, {{w|Queens, New York}} [[New York City]] is hosting an exhibit by artist {{w|Vaginal Davis}} known as ''Magnificent Product''.

At 10:00 a.m. EDT (1400 UTC) on the morning of the performance, the museum sent an email to {{W|Eventbrite}} ticket holders stating: "Arrive by 3 p.m. to be sure you are able to experience the performance in its entirety. Due to expected high attendance, we highly encourage attendees to arrive in advance of performance start time." Although rain was forecast and did occur briefly, the weather eventually cleared. Davis introduced the band at the beginning, who then performed a number of both old and new songs. The courtyard was almost full, with audience members even crowding onto the stairs which led up to the stage. During the performance of ''Underwear Drawer'', Pfahler and Alice Moy took underwear out from a box on the stage and threw it into the audience. After the set, Pfahler invited people to come up on stage and say hello. Audience members and artists mingled and took photos together until the museum closed. The pre-arranged set list was: *Soldier of Female *Cunt Shaped Like a Pillowcase *Bills to Pay *Neighborachie *School of Hate *Water Coffin *One Man Lady *Where You Belong *Underwear Drawer *Siobhan *Mr. Twilight (this song was omitted) *Alaska *Detroit The performers of the night were were: * Kembra Pfahler (vocals) * Samoa Moriki (guitar) * Eric Robel (drums) * Gyda Gash (bass) * Alice Moy

The meeting, aimed at boosting cooperation on security, energy, and post-war reconstruction, has been delayed indefinitely. == Limited participation from Arab leaders == According to Russian officials, invitations were sent to all '''22 members of the [[Arab League]]'''. However, only a handful — including '''Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa''' and the '''Arab League Secretary-General''' — agreed to attend. Major regional powers such as [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Egypt]], and the [[United Arab Emirates]] either declined or did not confirm their participation. The postponement came as the [[United States]] led a separate peace initiative in [[Egypt]], focused on consolidating the [[Gaza]] ceasefire and planning post-conflict reconstruction. Analysts suggest that the overlap of events may have encouraged many Arab governments to engage with Washington’s process instead. == Official explanation and analysis == Kremlin spokespersons described the delay as a "strategic decision" meant to avoid clashes with other diplomatic efforts, particularly those related to the Gaza peace process. However, observers and regional experts believe the move reflects a decline in enthusiasm for Russia’s regional diplomacy. A Kremlin adviser, '''Yuri Ushakov''', told reporters that the summit might be rescheduled in '''November 2025''' if "appropriate conditions and high-level participation" are ensured. == Analysts call it a diplomatic setback == Experts say the postponement marks a symbolic setback for [[Russia]]’s influence in the [[Middle East]]. Once a central player in Syria, Libya, and the Gulf, Moscow’s diplomatic presence appears to be diminishing. Analysts point to several reasons: * Ongoing involvement in the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|war in Ukraine]], which diverts political and economic attention. * [[Western sanctions]] that have weakened Russia’s economic capacity to offer aid or investment. * A strategic shift among Arab states toward strengthening ties with [[United States|Washington]] and [[China]]. == Shifting balance of influence == The postponement also reflects the growing competition between global powers for influence in the Middle East. The U.S.-led peace talks and China’s expanding investment diplomacy have left Russia struggling to retain its foothold. "Russia still enjoys some historical goodwill," one Middle East analyst told Reuters, "but without tangible economic incentives or unified political support, that influence is hard to sustain." == Future outlook == Russian officials maintain that the summit will be reconvened later in the year. Yet many analysts doubt whether Moscow can regain enough political momentum to attract broad participation. If the event is rescheduled, it will serve as a key indicator of whether Russia can still play a decisive role in shaping the region’s diplomatic and economic future. == Sources == * [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/15/putin-cancels-russia-arab-summit The Guardian] – ''Putin’s cancelled Arab summit signals waning influence in Middle East'' (October 15, 2025) * [https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/russia-arab-summit-planned-moscow-2025 Reuters] – ''Putin to host first Russia–Arab summit in October, agencies report'' (May 17, 2025) * [https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/10/10/moscow-postpones-arab-summit The Moscow Times] – ''Moscow postpones Arab summit amid reports of low interest'' (October 10, 2025) * [https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/2025/10/10/moscow-delays-russian-arab-summit The National] – ''Moscow delays Russia–Arab summit as Gaza ceasefire talks continue'' (October 10, 2025) * [https://tass.com/politics/2025/10/11/putin-postpones-arab-summit TASS] – ''Putin postpones Russia–Arab summit for coordination reasons'' (October 11, 2025) *[https://foodformula.site/russia-arab-summit-cancellation-highlights-moscows-declining-influence-in-the-middle-east/ FoodFormula] – ''Russia–Arab Summit Cancellation Highlights Moscow’s Declining Influence in the Middle East'' (October 15, 2025) == External links == * [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Russia Category:Russia] * [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Middle_East Category:Middle East] * [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Diplomacy Category:Diplomacy] bzphhvz258svta78mjimcop1i9yigzg 0 3027656 4893973 4893862 2025-10-31T02:05:17Z InternetArchiveBot 2820886 Rescuing 1 sources and tagging 0 as dead.) #IABot (v2.0.9.5 4893973 wikitext text/x-wiki {{abandoned|October 30, 2025|}} {{Crime and law}} The {{w|Allahabad High Court}} has granted bail to {{w|Sadakat Khan}}<ref>https://www.scconline.com/blog/post/2025/10/17/allahabad-hc-bail-umesh-pal-murder-case/amp/</ref><ref>https://ndtv.in/uttar-pradesh-news/allahabad-high-court-grants-bail-to-atiq-ahmed-brother-ashraf-henchman-sadaqat-find-out-what-the-court-said-9474321/amp/1</ref>, an accused in a case connected to the killing of Umesh Pal, the key witness in the 2005 murder of legislator Raju Pal.

Advocate Siddhartha Mishra<ref>https://lawbeat.in/pdf_upload/sadakat-khan-vs-state-of-up-2086663.pdf</ref> represented the applicant. [https://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/allahabad-city-umesh-pal-murder-mystery-connection-from-mla-raju-pal-murder-case-23340440.html Umesh Pal] was fatally shot on February 24, 2023, in Prayagraj while under security protection. He was a prosecution witness in the [[wikipedia:Raju_Pal|Raju Pal]] murder trial, where former Member of Parliament and Member of the Legislative Assembly Atiq Ahmed, along with his brother Ashraf, were principal accused. Following Pal’s death, multiple related investigations were initiated. In one of those, registered as Case Crime No. 86/2023 at Bithari Chainpur Police Station in Bareilly, authorities alleged that Sadakat Khan facilitated communication from inside jail between Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf. In a separate and highly publicised incident, [[wikipedia:Atiq_Ahmed|Atiq Ahmed]] and [[wikipedia:Khalid_Azim|Ashraf]] were shot dead on April 15, 2023, during a police medical escort. The shooting occurred in front of news cameras and was broadcast live, drawing international attention to custodial safety and due process in India. In its ruling, the High Court stated that the applicant was not named in the original First Information Report (FIR) and was implicated later based on the statement of another accused.

The 2025 ''Spirit of Queens'' honoree was {{w|Warrington Hudlin}}. The event was announced via email to start at 10am, with an option to come at 9:30 to mingle and have snacks and coffee. Before 10, organizer Katha Cato announced that the building had scheduled a shelter-in-place fire drill at 10am exactly, which delayed the proceedings; after about 15 minutes things were able to start, by the time many filmmakers were in attendance, each hosting a spot at a table where they could discuss their film. First to speak was Harriet Tugsmen, who joked that {{W|Beyonce}} was introducing the event. She added, "I am a local drag performer here, in {{W|Astoria}}, {{w|Manhattan}}, {{W|Brooklyn}}, and sometimes internationally because I go to {{W|New Jersey|Jersey}}... Thank you all for telling stories, using your vision, your eyes, your dialog, to give a(sic) image to someone that is unheard, and please understand I'm using ''unheard'' versus ''voiceless'', because we have our voice, a lot of people just choose not to listen." The audience applauded at that. Katha Cato then took back the floor to discuss freedom of speech; "this is not the time to put your cameras down," before eventuallly introducing Queens {{w|borough president}} {{w|Donovan Richard|Donovan Richards Jr.}}, who commented on Queens' diversity, "190 countries 360 languages and dialects are spoken in this county." He went on, "we're not going to cower in fear ... we're going to be proud to tell our story in Queens county." Cato next introduced Sandra Schulberg, and Donald Preston Cato. Schulberg describd Hudlin as her hero, hightlighting many films, including {{w|House Party (1990 film)|House Party}}, {{w|Boomerang (1992 film)|Boomerang}}, and {{w|Unstoppable: Conversation with Melvin Van Peebles, Gordon Parks, and Ossie Davis|Unstoppable}}. She discussed his work in film preservation and archiving, stating that when working with {{w|IndieCollect}} in 2013, he found the lost original film cut of {{w|Gordon Parks}}' {{W|Solomon Northup's Odyssey}}, which starred {{W|Avery Brooks}}; the film was just restored. Next, Hudlin spoke, first crediting his mentors, {{W|Melvin Van Peebles}}, who was the winner of this award in 2016, {{w|Harry Belafonte}}, {{W|Ossie Davis}}, and {{w|Ruby Dee}}, following with "it's not about me, it's about we", proceeding to point out many of the people who were in the audience with whom he had worked. After declaring that the new generation of filmmakers have been "anointed to tell those stories", he ended with having the audience repeat after him - "We will not surrender" - twice, closing with "Peace out." After Hudlin's acceptance speech, there were two more brief speeches. The first was from Ralph Calle-Schulz of Rise Flix, which he described as a distribution company that wanted to "be known as the platform that launched the next big directors, the next big voices for the next generation". Next was {{w|Slovenian}} {{w|visual artist}} and filmmaker Nataša Prosenc Stearns, who described herself as "doing things that are hard to categorize". To close, a 2025 festival sizzle reel was shown, followed by an extended period of mingling and photo taking. == Gallery == {{Sisters|commons|Category:Queens World Film Festival Presser on October 15 by Alex Lozupone}} <gallery> File:QueensFilm2025- 02.jpg|Sandra Shulberg{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QueensFilm2025- 16.jpg|Katha Kato{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QueensFilm2025b- 11.jpg|The group picture{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QueensFilm2025b- 14.jpg|The organizers, Hudlin, and Richards{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QueensFilm2025b- 16.jpg|Hudlin and his associates{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QwfVlcsnap-2025-10-15-20h58m24s184.jpg|Cato addresses the crowd{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QwfVlcsnap-2025-10-15-20h58m24s187.jpg|Richards addressed the crowd{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QwfVlcsnap-2025-10-15-20h58m24s183.jpg|Tugsmen addresses the crowd{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:QueensFilm2025b- 37.jpg|Hudlin address the audience{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} </gallery> {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{Original reporting}} *{{source |url = https://www.eventbrite.com/e/queens-world-2025-presser-recognizing-warrington-hudlin-and-more-tickets-1607451654169 |title = Queens World 2025 Presser: Recognizing Warrington Hudlin and more! |author = Queens World Film Festival |pub = Evite |date = 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250821025821/https://www.artsforart.org/ingardens/ |brokenURL = }} *{{source |url = https://queensworldfilmfestival.org/about-the-queens-world-film-festival/spirit-of-queens-honorees/ |title = SPIRIT OF QUEENS HONOREES |author = |pub = Queens World Film Festival |date = 2025 |brokenURL = }} [[Category:New York, New York]] [[Category:North America]] mxjevcfkotwkx8cs74ffhgixhxccc7r 10 3027976 4887995 2025-10-16T13:53:50Z Asked42 2864219 fr wp 4887995 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude>{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|</noinclude>mw.loader.load( '{{subst:localurl:{{{1}}}|action=raw&ctype=text/javascript}}' ); // Backlink: [[{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]]<noinclude>|lang=js|copy=1}}{{Documentation}}</noinclude> 8xqp6m2pubdy51lfoc6g8tkgra91k6o 10 3027978 4887997 2025-10-16T13:54:58Z Asked42 2864219 rd 4887997 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT: [[Template:Load user script]] 5tbg7ra1okeghl9fgeyvh40gaah56le 4 3028009 4890831 4890825 2025-10-22T15:36:10Z Pppery 2749928 Re 4890831 wikitext text/x-wiki ==={{user|Flow cleanup bot}}=== <!--Make sure you have listed all the information on the bot userpage before requesting bot permission--> '''Operator:''' {{u|Pppery}} <!--List full details of the bot tasks here--> <!--Permission, if granted will be for the specified tasks only--> '''Bot tasks for which permission is being sought:''' Export Flow/LQT boards to wikitext <!--Automatic: Specify whether supervised or unsupervised --> <!--Manually Assisted: User must manually confirm every change --> '''Automatic or manually assisted:''' Typically runs at first as one automatic/unsupervised run, and then a later set of automatic/supervised runs to clean up cases the original one punted on.

The summit was attended by heads of state and government officials from 27 other countries, including the mediating countries for the Gaza Peace Plan, Turkey and Qatar. During the summit, a 'comprehensive peace declaration' was signed by each of President El-Sisi, President Trump, President {{w|Recep Tayyip Erdoğan}} of Turkey, and Emir {{w|Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani}} of Qatar. This declaration 'endorsed the agreement between Hamas and Israel'. The agreement, drafted by US President Trump, is as follows: #Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours. #Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. #If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. #Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. #Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. #Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. #Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. #Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement. #Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. #A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. #A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries. #No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza. #Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours. #A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbours or its people. #The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties. #Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat. #In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF. #An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace. #While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people. #The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Notably absent from the summit were representatives from both Israel and Iran, the former cancelling their attendance over time constraints relating to the then incoming Simchat Torah holiday, which began at 6 PM the day of the summit, and the latter declining their invitation, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating on X: “while favoring diplomatic engagement, neither President [Masoud] Pezeshkian nor I can engage with counterparts who have attacked the Iranian People and continue to threaten and sanction us.” {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-backed-out-of-sharm-el-sheikh-summit-to-avoid-angering-ultra-orthodox-lawmakers-official-says/ |title = Netanyahu backed out of Sharm el-Sheikh summit to avoid angering ultra-Orthodox lawmakers, official says |author = Lazar Berman |pub = The Times of Israel |date = October 15, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://sis.gov.eg/en/media-center/events/sharm-el-sheikh-peace-summit/ |title = Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit |author = |pub = Egyptian State Information Service |date = October 14, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.presidency.eg/en/%D9%82%D8%B3%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%B1%D8%A6%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9/news13102025-9/ |title = Statement by the Presidency of the Arab Republic of Egypt |author = Presidency of the Arab Republic of Egypt |pub = Presidency of the Arab Republic of Egypt |date = October 13, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://en.irna.ir/news/85965691/Iran-declines-to-attend-Sharm-el-Sheikh-Summit-urges-halt-to |title = Iran declines to attend Sharm el-Sheikh Summit, urges halt to Gaza genocide |author = |pub = Islamic Republic News Agency |date = October 13, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Israel/Palestine Conflict]] akzps54x04t930qgloq8gwlvdcxiw48 10 3028837 4890442 4890255 2025-10-21T17:59:17Z Asked42 2864219 4890442 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Xambox | type = notice | style = border-left: 10px solid #39f; line-height: 1.6; | image = [[File:Wikinews Developing.png|60px|link=]] | text = <div style="font-size:125%; padding-top: 6px;">'''This article is being developed'''</div> This article is currently a draft.

The freeway was temporarily closed for investigation and traffic control. A MSP patrol car, a {{w|Jeep Cherokee}}, and a vehicle were involved in the initial single-vehicle crash on the shoulder. According to {{w|Michigan State Police}}, a 55-year-old Detroit man driving the Jeep on wet pavement and slammed into the back of the trooper’s parked patrol car, causing it to lurch forward into the vehicle from the earlier crash. Police said that the crash was largely caused by the driver’s excessive speed for wet road conditions and severely worn tires—three of the Jeep’s four tires were below the wear bars. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/michigan-state-police-car-crash-trooper-injuries-detroit/ |title = 3 injured, including Michigan State Police trooper, when driver hits patrol car in Detroit |author = Nick Lentz |pub = CBS News |date = October 19, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.wxyz.com/news/3-hospitalized-including-msp-trooper-after-crash-on-i-96-in-detroit |title = 3 hospitalized, including MSP trooper, after crash on I-96 in Detroit |author = Kellen Voss |pub = WXYZ-TV |date = October 19, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Detroit]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] t1edl127t9mwyr0v14w0lmsk2blt2uk 0 3029062 4892728 4890829 2025-10-27T16:03:11Z BigKrow 2871522 4892728 wikitext text/x-wiki {{stale}} {{date|October 19, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Crime and law}} [[File:Galerie_d'Apollon_(Louvre).jpg|thumb|240px|left|The Galerie d'Apollon at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the heist occurred. {{image source|Tangopaso}}]] [[File:1-Crown of Empress EugénieDSC 0247blacken.jpg|thumb|240px|left|The Crown of Empress Eugénie was among the items stolen, but was recovered damaged at the scene. {{image source|Wouter Engler}}]] The {{w|Louvre Museum}} in {{w|Paris}} closed on Sunday after four {{w|thieves}} stole eight valuable pieces of jewelry from the premises during the mid-morning hours of the day.{{Verify|source1=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg7nrlkg0zxo|source2=https://news.sky.com/story/louvre-museum-in-paris-closed-after-robbery-13453106|focal_event=1}} ''{{w|BBC}}'' reported that {{w|diadem|diadems}}, {{w|necklaces}}, {{w|earrings}} and {{w|brooches}} were among the items taken. The items were among the {{w|French Crown Jewels}}. According to the Paris prosecutor's office, a ninth item was retrieved at the scene. Power tools were involved in the crime, as Video evidence showed that a vehicle-mounted ladder was used to get in through a window, along with a battery-powered disc cutter that was used to bypass a glass obstruction. The thieves gained access to the {{w|Galerie d'Apollon}} by threatening the museum's guards, who vacated the premises upon being intercepted. A state of panic ensued among the museum's visitors, who were present during the robbery. The thieves unsuccessfully attempted to incinerate their vehicle, but they were thwarted by a museum employee. They reportedly escaped on high-powered {{w|scooters}}. Other sources indicated that the getaway vehicles were motorcycles. Art detective Arthur Brand said it was a "race against time" before the stolen jewels are melted down. He was quoted as follows in a statement to ''{{w|Sky News}}'': "These crown jewels are so famous, you just cannot sell them. The only thing they can do is {{w|Smelting|melt the silver and gold down}}, dismantle the diamonds, try to cut them. That's the way they will probably disappear forever. [...] They [the police] have a week. If they catch the thieves, the stuff might still be there. If it takes longer, the loot is probably gone and dismantled. It's a race against time." No injuries were reported in the incident. Culture Minister Rachida Dati assessed the behavior of the thieves as "very professional" in a statement to French media, and Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said that the heist was over within a matter of minutes. French justice minister {{w|Gerard Darmanin}} blamed the loss of the jewelry on the nation's security forces. He said: "There are many museums in Paris, many museums in France, with priceless values in these museums. What is certain is that we failed. The French people all feel like they've been robbed." The incident remains under investigation. The museum remained closed to the public on Tuesday. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/louvre-robbery-paris-museum-closed-for-second-day-jewel-heist/ |title=Louvre robbery leaves Paris' iconic museum shuttered for a second day |author= |pub=CBS News |date=October 20, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg7nrlkg0zxo |title = Everything we know about the Louvre jewellery heist |author = Ian Aikman and Rachel Hagan |pub = BBC |date = October 19, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://news.sky.com/story/louvre-museum-in-paris-closed-after-robbery-13453106 |title = Eight 'priceless' objects stolen in Louvre museum heist named - as authorities reveal details of daring raid |author = |pub = Sky News |date = October 19, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.dw.com/en/jewelry-stolen-from-louvre-museum-in-paris/a-74415121 |title = Jewelry stolen from Louvre Museum in Paris |author = Louis Oelofse |pub = DW |date = October 19, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Paris]] [[Category:France]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Crime and law]] gb9f32jnjqc3qz06876m8dunxymdzwc 0 3029103 4890606 4889948 2025-10-21T23:20:48Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 Protected "[[Crowds gather for 35th Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade amid car incident]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) 4889948 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|October 20, 2025}} [[File:Vdoglcsnap-2025-10-19-19h30m05s181.png|thumb|left|A dog in costume{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}}]] {{Culture and entertainment}} The 35th annual {{w|Tompkins Square}} [[Halloween]] Dog Parade took place from 1–4 p.m. New York time (17:00–20:00 UTC) on Sunday, October 19. People wanting to march with their dogs in the parade were required to sign up in advance and check in at the event. At 3 p.m. New York time (19:00 UTC), a car started to drive between Avenues B and A on 10th Street, going {{w|East}} through the crowds. The car, which had taxi and limousine commision plates, honked while driving down the street, trying to make its way through a crowded street full of pedestrians, dogs, strollers, and children. Angry onlookers confronted the driver, who seemed unaffected by the situation and eventually squeezed his car past a police vehicle blocking the exit onto Avenue A. No police intervened. There were crowds and dogs on several streets in the area, including 13th Street between Avenues A and B, 10th Street between Avenues A and B, and 6th Street between Avenues A and C. Dogs were also in the park itself. The streets were sectioned off for the parade to march in the center, with viewers to either side. On and near 6th Street, there were a few prepared stalls for dog activities - a “{{w|red carpet}}” style display for dogs to pose on, a photographer offering photos of dogs. A dog named Izzy was very reluctant to pose for a photo and kept walking off the staging area. Also in attendance was Tofu, a dog purportedly running for president. == Gallery == {{Sisters|commons|Category:20251019 Dog Halloween Parade by Alex Lozupone}} <gallery> File:DoghalloweenDSC05785 09.jpg|A car attempts to move through the crowd{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:Vdoglcsnap-2025-10-19-19h30m05s168.png|People take pictures of "Tofu"'s presidential campaign{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:Vdoglcsnap-2025-10-19-19h30m05s177.png|A dog on the red carpet{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:Vdoglcsnap-2025-10-19-19h30m05s186.png|"Izzy" is moved back onto the photo staging area after wandering off{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:Vdoglcsnap-2025-10-19-19h30m05s170.png|Some with elaborate costumes posed for photos with their dogs{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:DogVlcsnap-2025-10-19-19h16m28s469.png|Ariel from {{w|instagram}} channel @street_vent was doing interviews{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:DogVlcsnap-2025-10-19-19h16m28s470.png|The interviewees{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:DogVlcsnap-2025-10-19-19h16m28s467.png|Two dogs dressed as bears in a stroller{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:DogVlcsnap-2025-10-19-19h16m28s480.png|A dog in costume with horns{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:Vdoglcsnap-2025-10-19-19h30m05s178.png|Another dog in costume{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} File:DogVlcsnap-2025-10-19-19h16m28s472.png|A dog being photographed in costume{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} </gallery> == Sources == {{Original reporting}} *{{source |url =https://www.nydogparade.org/tshalloween |title=New York Dog Parade |author = |pub = New York Dog Parade |date = October 19, 2025 (date of access) | archiveurl = https://arc.net/l/quote/fmalleor }} [[Category:New York, New York]] [[Category:North America]] {{Publish}} 0c3jln5h57ryaepmp9ak1b9w4a9rfoz 0 3029194 4890822 4890817 2025-10-22T14:57:27Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 No longer under review 4890822 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tasks|news|npov|mos|re-review}} {{date|October 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Logo.webp|thumb|left|NASA_Jet_Propulsion_Laboratory_(JPL)_Logo]] The '''2025 Jet Propulsion Laboratory layoffs''' took place on October 14, 2025, when [[w:NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory|NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory]] (JPL) in Pasadena, California, dismissed 550 employees.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpl-workforce--update/ |title=JPL Workforce Update |publisher=NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory |date=October 14, 2025 |access-date=October 20, 2025}}</ref> This action cut 11 percent of the lab's staff, according to reports from the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' and ''{{w|Eos (magazine)|Eos}}'', and was the fourth such reduction since early 2024, according to ''Eos''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2025-10-14/jpl-announces-it-is-laying-off-550-people |title=NASA's JPL cuts 550 jobs in latest round of layoffs at La Cañada Flintridge |author=Devin Thrope |publisher=Los Angeles Times |date=October 14, 2025 |access-date=October 20, 2025}}</ref> The cuts stemmed from federal budget limits and a push to match staff levels to funded projects.

On social media, former JPL workers shared accounts of abrupt exits. The reductions may delay projects like the [[w:Mars sample-return mission|Mars Sample Return]], already behind schedule. This mission plans to retrieve and return Martian rocks for study on Earth. JPL's [[w:Deep Space Network|Deep Space Network]] handles data from distant probes, including those studying black holes and Earth's climate. Fewer experts could raise risks in spacecraft assembly and data analysis. Private firms such as [[w:SpaceX|SpaceX]] handle some crewed launches, but JPL leads in uncrewed exploration. Observers describe the cuts as a potential loss of skilled workers, which might benefit competitors like China in space mapping. JPL provided severance pay, job search aid, and counseling to those affected.Local officials in La Cañada Flintridge scheduled job fairs for the workers, many of whom support the regional economy. As of October 20, 2025, Congress continues budget talks that could influence future NASA funding. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == [[Category:North America]] [[Category:NASA]] [[Category:California]] [[Category:Labor]] 46d3nrr9m2v5kg85xw1kc9ovojy1k6i 0 3029253 4891906 4891905 2025-10-25T13:24:34Z Asked42 2864219 Undo revision [[Special:Diff/4891905|4891905]] by [[Special:Contributions/Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 4891906 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tasks|npov|mos}} {{date|20 October 2025}} '''United Kingdom —''' '''New data shows young driver car insurance premiums have fallen to lowest level in a decade''' Car insurance premiums for young drivers in the United Kingdom have fallen to their lowest point in ten years, according to new analysis by insurance comparison website Quotezone.<ref name="QZdata">{{cite web | url = https://www.quotezone.co.uk/car-insurance/average-car-insurance-premium-by-region | title = Average UK car insurance premiums by region and age | publisher = Quotezone | date = 1 October 2025 | access-date = 20 October 2025 }}</ref> The new figures were recently published in Q3 as part of Quotezone's quarterly Price Index, and have been corroborated by separate data from the Association of British Insurers (ABI), which also reported a fall in car insurance premiums for motorists in 2025.<ref name="ABIpremiums2025">{{cite web | url = https://www.abi.org.uk/news/news-articles/2025/7/motor-premiums-fall---but-repair-and-theft-costs-keep-revving-up-claims/ | title = Motor premiums fall – but repair and theft costs keep revving up claims | publisher = Association of British Insurers | date = 13 August 2025 | access-date = 20 October 2025 }}</ref> Drivers aged 17–24 are now paying an average of £1,098 for annual cover. According to Quotezone, this is the lowest average since September 2015, when the figure stood at £1,304.<ref name="QZdata" /> '''Regional changes''' Quotezone reports that six out of twelve UK regions now have average premiums below £1,000 for 17–24-year-olds — Scotland, East of England, North East England, South East England, Wales and South West England — with averages ranging from £986 to £855.<ref name="QZdata" /> Findings show this is a significant reduction compared to February 2024, when average young driver premiums exceeded £3,000.<ref name="QZdata" /> The car insurance index shows the overall UK average premium across all age groups has also dropped to £591.<ref name="QZdata" /> It began 2025 at £651, down from £816 in the first quarter of 2024. Premiums had previously surged in 2023, rising from £621 in January to £885 by December.<ref name="QZdata" /> Despite the fall in most regions, the findings show drivers in London, the West Midlands and North West England are still paying over £600 on average. Drivers in Wales and South West England currently enjoy the lowest costs, with averages of £483 and £469 respectively.<ref name="QZdata" /> '''Industry response''' Greg Wilson, founder and chief executive of Quotezone, said: <blockquote>“These price indexes are helpful because they allow customers to see what a realistic cost looks like for their area and age. Young drivers still face higher premiums due to accident rates and lack of experience, but it’s encouraging to see six regions now averaging under £1,000.”</blockquote> Wilson said telematics policies — which monitor driver behaviour — have contributed to decreasing costs for younger motorists. He added that factors such as job title, overnight parking location and car modifications can affect premiums. '''Wider pressures on insurers''' Industry bodies say insurers are still facing higher claim costs. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) reported that motor claims reached a record £11.7 billion in 2024, driven by rising repair costs, inflation and more expensive vehicle technology.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.abi.org.uk/news/news-articles/2025/2/motor-claims-hit-record-11.7-billion-in-2024/ | title = Motor claims hit record £11.7 billion in 2024 | publisher = Association of British Insurers | date = February 2025 | access-date = 20 October 2025 }}</ref> The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also found that increased thefts, higher hire car costs and uninsured drivers contributed to past premium rises.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/premium-hikes-driven-claims-costs-insurers-told-improve-claims-handling | title = Premium hikes driven by claims costs; insurers told to improve claims handling | publisher = Financial Conduct Authority | date = 22 July 2025 | access-date = 20 October 2025 }}</ref> The UK Government has convened an industry taskforce to investigate car insurance premium prices, but no confirmed publication date of its findings has been announced.<ref name="GovTaskforce">{{cite web | url = https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ministers-bring-together-industry-experts-and-consumer-champions-to-tackle-spiralling-costs-for-drivers | title = Ministers bring together industry experts and consumer champions to tackle spiralling costs for drivers | publisher = UK Government – Department for Transport | date = 4 October 2024 | access-date = 20 October 2025 }}</ref> '''Background''' Quotezone, founded in 2005, is one of the UK’s longest-running insurance comparison websites.

Bruce is a professional magician, and illusion builder who is also a dealer of magic. Bruce has been a prolific performer for several decades and has produced several written works on magic. ==Interview== {{WNIQ}} When did you first become interested in magic? :'''BC''': A couple of weeks before my 8th birthday, my dad ordered some simple magic tricks from the Johnson Smith Company. When the tricks arrived, my dad demonstrated the Ball and Vase trick. I was shocked, awed, and literally flabbergasted. On my birthday, dad reached up and grabbed the small box of tricks from on top of the refrigerator and gave them to me as an additional part of my birthday presents. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. {{WNIQ}} Did any particular performer influence you? :'''BC''': In my early teen years, Charles W. Dodson and his wife Gwen opened Dodson’s Fun’n Party Shop in {{w|Midland, Texas}}. Located way out on the outskirts of the town, the facility was a house with a storefront. Charlie was a magician himself and gradually took me under wing and guided me somewhat in magic. Later I saw the large touring illusion shows of Fred and Ann Story, Vince Carmen, and they helped instill the love of stage magic and illusions. {{WNIQ}} I know you attended Baylor University -- did you perform much during those years? :'''BC''':I attended Odessa Junior College for my freshman and sophomore years of college. I took many hours of theatre and transferred to Baylor as a Junior. I earned my BA degree in Religion and my MA degree in Theatre Arts at Baylor. I performed heavily throughout my college years and basically paid my way through college. {{WNIQ}} I know you build illusions. How did you learn to design and construct such things? :'''BC''': Both my father and grandfather were adept at woodworking and other industrial arts, and both had backyard workshop buildings. I learned a lot through those interactions. In school I took shop in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. From about sixth grade onward, I built a lot of my own magic tricks because I couldn’t afford to buy them. I fell in love with stage illusions while seeing the shows of Story and Carmen as referenced above. After Baylor, I moved from Waco to Fort Worth where I attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and earned my Master of Divinity degree. During that time I built a workshop in the backyard of my home and began to build stage illusions for myself. That blossomed in 1985 when I finished my second master’s degree. With the drive to take care of a wife and baby boy, I began building custom illusions for other magicians. Most of my training building stage illusions has come from reading books, buying illusion plans, and a lot of trial and error. {{WNIQ}} I know you've been involved in many large magic conventions. Any special memories come to mind from those? :'''BC''': I was stage manager for the SAM national magic conventions for many years. I have also stage managed many TAOM and several IBM conventions. There are a hundreds of stories. Of all the conventions, I have always tried to attend the TAOM conventions and have only missed three conventions since the age of 14. I even became the president of the Texas Association of Magicians in 1988 and was instrumental in planning and executing the convention that year. That was a memorable experience. {{WNIQ}} Along those lines, can you explain for our readers what a magic convention actually consists of? :'''BC''': A magic convention is a gathering of magicians who usually meet for several consecutive days, usually at a hotel. There are lectures, performance contests, shows, and usually a large dealer’s room where magic distributors offer their wares for sale. {{WNIQ}} If you feel comfortable answering, have you built any props or illusions for any noted performers? :'''BC''': My work has made its way into the repertoires of many different magicians including {{w|Doug Henning}}, {{w|David Copperfield}}, {{w|John Calvert}}, {{w|Jeff McBride}}, and others. I have also worked for Warner Brothers Germany as a special effect consultant and designer. {{WNIQ}} In terms of retail sales, I know there aren't many magic dealers left in Texas -- how long have you been involved in retail pertaining to magic? :'''BC''': I purchased the 4000 square foot '''Illusion Warehouse''' building in south Fort worth in 1996. The facility is dedicated to magic with a retail store front, a party room for magic performances, my so-called “museum room” that houses my magic collection and offices, and of course workshop facilities. {{WNIQ}} Any fun memories you might share from a performance? :'''BC''': After performing magic now for almost 60 years, I have hundreds of stories both good and bad. I have had the opportunity to entertain many different extremely wealthy people, huge audiences, and even do some television work. I have traveled throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia with my performances. I have engaged witch doctors in Africa, performed street magic on “Walking Street” in Pattaya, Thailand, and entertained thousands on the 50 yard line of football stadiums. I have had a lot of many good shows and a few not so good shows. Unfortunately on three different occasions, individuals have even passed away during my shows. I guess you have to say, “I was knocking them dead.” {{WNIQ}} As a performing art form, what are your thoughts about the future of magic? :'''BC''': Like all art forms, magic continues to evolve. The performers who are innovative, trained in the theatre arts, and know how to market themselves are the most prosperous. Many magicians continually fail to realize that magic props are nothing more than that, theatrical props. Owning magic tricks does not make one a magician. The future of magic rests upon the individuals who can take magic props, entertain audiences, and carry them away into the land of make believe and magic. ==Sources== https://www.magicsam.com/page/Magic_Week ==Other sources== *https://www.brucechadwick.com/ *http://www.illusionwarehouse.com {{haveyoursay}} {{original}} [[Category:Texas]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] bsne86vg8d7nidmfwmo63mwwz1wgsun 0 3029317 4889867 2025-10-20T16:11:50Z Bddpaux 112744 Bddpaux moved page [[Wikinews Interviews Magician and Illusionist Bruce Chadwick for National Magic Month]] to [[Wikinews Interviews Magician and Illusion Builder Bruce Chadwick for National Magic Month]]: typo on original title 4889867 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Wikinews Interviews Magician and Illusion Builder Bruce Chadwick for National Magic Month]] fzjoknrza4buf8gym7v8bdav7bhbopa 0 3029353 4893996 4892729 2025-10-31T04:09:01Z Nixleovel 2893102 Copyediting 4893996 wikitext text/x-wiki {{stale}} {{date|October 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Weather}} A series of active weather systems impacted New Zealand, with the South Island bearing the brunt through Thursday, October 23. Air New Zealand reported at least seven affected flights, including those between Dunedin and Invercargill. Additional delays and diversions occurred at other South Island airports due to high winds. Travellers were advised to check airline updates before heading to airports. Hundreds of homes lost electricity, particularly in areas such as Mosgiel, Dunedin, and parts of Southland. Aurora Energy and Wellington Electricity crews responded, warning of further outages caused by falling branches and debris. In the Wellington region, over 1,000 properties had been affected earlier in the day. State Highway 1 reopened after a truck trailer overturned and blocked the route, but orange strong wind warnings remained in effect for Fiordland, Southland, and Stewart Island until noon. High-sided vehicles were at risk, and ferry services like East by West operated on restricted timetables or were cancelled. Emergency callouts increased due to downed trees and structural damage. Heavy rain warnings covered the West Coast and parts of Otago, raising concerns about localised flooding. Snow settled near Queenstown, adding to travel hazards. A red-level wind warning was briefly issued for Wellington, underscoring the risks to life and property. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/576499/slips-closed-highways-and-emergency-callouts-as-wind-and-rain-hit-south-island |title = Slips, closed highways and emergency callouts as wind and rain hit South Island |author = |pub = Radio New Zealand |date = October 20, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20251020233538/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/576499/live-man-killed-by-falling-tree-roads-close-flights-cancelled-in-wellington }} *{{source |url = https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/10/20/flights-cancelled-major-route-blocked-as-winds-lash-south-island/ |title = Flights cancelled, power outages as severe gales lash South Island |author = |pub = 1News |date = October 20, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20251021003446/https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/10/20/flights-cancelled-major-route-blocked-as-winds-lash-south-island/ }} [[Category:New Zealand]] [[Category:Weather]] fhb9lcibu7yl0urpj5iy1f1bfegt0nl 10 3029396 4890135 4890134 2025-10-20T23:30:26Z Koavf 5879 4890135 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Archivebox| {{hidden|2009|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2009}}}} {{hidden|2010|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2010}}}} {{hidden|2011|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2011}}}} {{hidden|2012|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2012}}}} {{hidden|2013|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2013}}}} {{hidden|2014|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2014}}}} {{hidden|2015|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2015}}}} {{hidden|2016|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2016}}}} {{hidden|2017|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2017}}}} {{hidden|2018|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2018}}}} {{hidden|2019|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2019}}}} {{hidden|2020|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2020}}}} {{hidden|2021|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2021}}}} {{hidden|2022|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2022}}}} {{hidden|2023|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2023}}}} {{hidden|2024|{{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2024}}}} {{Archive months| archives=archives | year=2025}} }}<noinclude>This template displays an Archivebox pictured at the right, which provides links to archives of all Watercooler sub pages (Proposals, Policy, Technical, etc).

Democrats rejected both the budget plan and the Republican-proposed stopgap bill because they did not extend health insurance tax credits. Without these credits, health insurance premiums could rise substantially for millions of Americans in 2026. Republicans have refused to negotiate healthcare until after the shutdown, while Democrats have stood fast on the issue. The shutdown has caused a multitude of consequences, from federal worker furloughs and layoffs to the interruption of government services. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said Friday that it will not be able to use a contingency fund to continue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (also known as food stamps), meaning that nearly 42 million Americans are likely to lose them starting November 1. The same applies to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and the Head Start program. The shutdown is so far the second-longest in U.S. history, with the longest shutdown lasting for almost five weeks in 2018. == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5577136/government-shutdown-congress-trump |title = With some shutdown pain points delayed for now, talks in Congress are 'nowhere' |author = Deirdre Walsh |pub = NPR |date = October 17, 2025 |archiveurl = https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5577136/government-shutdown-congress-trump }} *{{source |url = https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-government-shutdown-news-10-20-25 |title = Government shutdown and Trump administration news |author = Maureen Chowdhury and Elise Hammond |pub = CNN |date = October 20, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20251020161514/https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-government-shutdown-news-10-20-25 |brokenURL = }} *{{source |url = https://www.wcpo.com/politics/usda-wont-use-emergency-funds-to-cover-snap-benefits-agency-says |title = USDA won’t use emergency funds to cover SNAP benefits, agency says |author = Jacob Gardenswartz |pub = WCPO 9 |date = October 24, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-9-30-2025 |title = Government shutdown to begin after midnight, mass furloughs of federal workers expected |author = Curtis Yee, Luena Rodriguez-Feo Vileira, Bernard McGhee, Carley Petesch, Sam Burdette and Nell Clark |pub = Associated Press |date = September 30, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/government-shutdown-trump-democrats.html |title = Government shutdown becomes 2nd longest in U.S. history |author = Kevin Breuninger |pub = CNBC |date = October 22, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/why-nov-1-is-a-key-date-in-the-government-shutdown-impacts-on-snap-wic-obamacare/ar-AA1P83uV |title = Why Nov. 1 is a key date in the government shutdown.

The new law aims to alleviate pressure on municipalities caused by increasing [[migration]] and family reunification requests. Meanwhile, simplifications have been introduced for family reunification of skilled workers; language requirements for spouses and minor children have been relaxed and integration support programs enhanced. For those under subsidiary protection, family reunification is now only allowed in humanitarian exceptions. The surge in solo asylum seekers bringing their families has led to housing crises in many regions in 2023 and 2024. The [[Category:Foreign Office (Germany)|German Foreign Office]] announced it will assess whether to extend the suspension period. These developments mark a significant shift in Germany’s migration policy. Measures are also planned to facilitate faster entry of spouses and minor children, along with improved integration and social programs. == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/06/27/german-lawmakers-vote-to-curb-family-reunification-programme |title = German lawmakers vote to curb family reunification programme |author = By Euronews with AP |pub = |date = June 27, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.dw.com/en/germany-suspends-refugees-family-reunification/a-72565576 |title = Germany suspends refugees' family reunification |author = Helen Whittle |pub = |date = June 6, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Immigration to Germany]] [[Category:Family reunification]] [[Category:2025 in Germany]] [[Category:Asylum in Germany]] paeyokvnzzrfq0v1hh6a86xpspnsg9j 0 3029979 4892180 4892178 2025-10-26T04:43:21Z Hide on Rosé 2855674 Reverted edit(s) by [[Special:Contributions/VedankTamrakar|VedankTamrakar]] ([[User talk:VedankTamrakar|talk]]) to last version by Hide on Rosé 4891140 wikitext text/x-wiki {{abandoned}} {{date|October 22, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Crime and law}} A sheriff out of Missouri said a man who committed suicide by hanging in jail in 2009 who was charged with killing a woman possibly is connected to another case.

'''Full story: The registration event, held at the Sandhani unit room, was conducted under the supervision of Joint Finance Secretary-1 Arham Mushfiq and Joint Finance Secretary-2. Prospective members were briefed on Sandhani's various voluntary and social activities. Asaduzzaman Fardin, an SH-19 student who registered, provided his details as: "Roll 108, Section B, Blood Group B+, residing at ShSMC boys' hostel." He was among the dozens of students who signed up for the organization's upcoming initiatives. "Snacks were provided for all attendees, which created a welcoming atmosphere," Fardin noted, describing the event's proceedings. The session primarily aimed to inform new students about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandhani Sandhani]'s mission and activities in voluntary blood donation and other social health services.'''

Previously, this word got blocked due to the coincidental inclusion of the substring “condom,” which has the same spelling as the first half of the word. To protect users from seeing objectionable content, many sex-related words, such as “condom” were blacklisted. Certain WWII-related words, such as the name “Hitler,” are banned, too. Unfortunately, since “condom” was blocked, suggestions go blank as soon as you type the “M,” preventing suggestions for the seemingly innocent word “condominium” from appearing as well. The {{w|Scunthorpe problem}} refers to the accidental blocking of innocent or unrelated words that contain forbidden substrings of characters. While computers can easily and quickly detect character sequences within inputs, broad blocking rules can result in false positives, resulting in innocent words, beyond the regular expressions’ intended targets, being blocked as well. For years, you would get no suggestions if you typed “condominium” into the YouTube search bar. Type “condominium” today, and you will get plenty of suggestions such as “condominium movie” and “condominium interior design.” Justin Joy, a 27-year-old boy in Massachusetts, loves the word “condominium,” so today, he is quite happy and relieved to see that this long-term injustice has finally been fixed. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.-->

(10).jpg|thumb|right|120px|Friedrich Merz Federal Chancellor of Germany]] Prime Minister Merz, who drew criticism for his statement that foreigners were spoiling the city's appearance, declared, "We cannot give up on immigrants," and sought to clarify his remarks. On 14 October 2025, Prime Minister Merz of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) delivered a bold response at a press conference in Potsdam, Brandenburg, to the growing influence of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. He stated that they were trying to correct the mistakes of previous governments on [[immigration]] and make progress. He stated, "It is clear that this problem persists in the city's appearance. The Minister of the Interior is therefore also working to enable and implement comprehensive repatriations." Following the backlash, Merz was unequivocal in stating that there was no reason to retract his October 20, 2025, statement, emphatically declaring, "On the contrary, I want to emphasize it once again. We need to change this situation. Ask your daughters and they'll tell you exactly what I mean." Merz was rightfully criticised for generalising all immigrants and foreigners and embracing AfD rhetoric. [[File:Immigranten beim Grenzübergang Wegscheid (23090961436).jpg|thumb|alt=Refugees at the German-Austrian border in November 2015|Refugees at the German-Austrian border in November 2015]]This criticism intensified following these statements, leading to protests in various cities, particularly the capital, Berlin. On October 23, 2025, in London, Chancellor Merz attempted to clarify his remarks that "foreigners spoil the city's image." Merz noted that both Germany and the European Union will continue to need immigration in the future. He said, "Many people with immigrant backgrounds are already an indispensable part of our employment market. Regardless of where they come from, their skin colour, whether they are first, second, third, or fourth generation living and working in Germany, we cannot afford to abandon them." ==The immigration policies of former German Federal Chancellors== ===Olaf Scholz=== [[File:Olaf Scholz 2024.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Olaf Scholz ]] Olaf Scholz was Chancellor from 2021 to 2025. According to Deutsche Welle, Olaf Scholz said the following in his speech on migration policy in the German Federal Parliament on 11 September 2024. "We must be able to choose who comes to Germany. I say that quite explicitly here. That also means managing irregular migration, reducing the number of those coming here illegally, and deporting those who cannot stay." "We are a country that offers protection to those who are politically persecuted, who are running for their lives, who have to save their lives, and that is in our constitution and we are not putting that up for debate" ===Angela Merkel=== [[File:Angela Merkel.

Some of Angela Merkel's statements regarding migration policy are as follows: "Wir schaffen das" (English: ‘We can do this!’) is a famous phrase that symbolises Merkel's determination to accept refugees in Germany during the 2015 European refugee crisis. Merkel stated, "Germany is a strong country.

The incident occurred on an upper floor of the library, prompting a heavy police response, including SWAT teams, and an initial shelter-in-place order for the surrounding area. One person was shot and suffered serious but stable injuries. Initial reports suggested a leg wound in a restroom on the second floor. The victim was transported to a local hospital. No fatalities were reported. A male suspect fled the scene before officers arrived. He was described as a thin black male wearing a gray hoodie, green shorts, black pants, black shoes, and carrying two black bags. He was apprehended in South Austin around 1:26–1:30 p.m. through coordination between on-scene officers and field units. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.fox4news.com/news/austin-police-search-suspect-critical-incident-downtown |title = 1 arrested, 1 injured in shooting at Austin Central Library |author = Steven Ardary and Bryanna Carroll |pub = KDFW |date = October 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/austin-public-library-shooting/269-ff605c1a-1588-4ecb-8a92-ad551d30d64c |title = Suspect in custody after shooting at Austin Public Library downtown |author = Jeff Bell |pub = KCEN |date = October 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Austin, Texas]] 5rfn67hcgrkm3ihr5top7jt81nxf2uk 0 3031112 4892304 2025-10-26T13:48:21Z BigKrow 2871522 BigKrow moved page [[Gunshot at the Austin Central Library]] to [[Gunshots fired at the Austin Central Library in Austin, Texas]] 4892304 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Gunshots fired at the Austin Central Library in Austin, Texas]] 6s0ajpsxniu6w7nu5ck9ax689gzx0u9 4 3031139 4892335 2025-10-26T15:02:12Z Revibot I 1627724 Bot: Archiving 1 thread from [[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]] 4892335 wikitext text/x-wiki {{talk archive}} == Correction to Main Page article == The main page has [[Malcolm-Jamal Warner, 'Cosby Show' actor, drowns in Costa Rica]] as one of the top articles.

It is built using Vue.js and the @wikimedia's codex design system. The script provides dialogs and notifications for various actions, and can be triggered by other scripts or templates by adding specific URL parameters to the page. == Core Actions and Logic == The script can perform several distinct actions, each with its own logic. === Submit for Review === This is the primary function of the script, allowing users to submit a draft for review. * '''Trigger:''' Can be triggered by the URL parameter <code>?page=Current_Page_Name</code> or manually. * '''Algorithm:''' ** The script first performs security checks: *** It checks that the user is on <code>en.wikinews.org</code> or <code>en.m.wikinews.org</code>. *** It checks that the page is in the article namespace (Namespace 0). ** It fetches the current page content. ** It checks if the article has an "exemption template" (e.g., <code>{{tl|Original reporting}}</code>, <code>{{tl|Interview}}</code>). ** '''If no exemption template is found:''' *** It counts the number of <code>{{tl|source}}</code> templates. *** If the source count is less than 2, it shows a "insufficient sources" warning and stops. ** '''If the article has an exemption or 2+ sources:''' *** It removes any maintenance templates (e.g., <code>{{tl|Develop}}</code>, <code>{{tl|Stale}}</code>, <code>{{tl|Abandoned}}</code>). *** It checks if the <code>{{tl|Review}}</code> template already exists. If yes, it shows an "already submitted" warning and stops. *** It shows a confirmation dialog ("Are you sure you want to submit..."). ** '''On user confirmation:''' *** It prepends the <code>{{tl|Review}}</code> template to the cleaned page content. *** It saves the page with the edit summary: "Submitting article for review (via [[MediaWiki:SubmitWizard.js|SubmitWizard]])". *** It reloads the page upon successful edit. === Request Assistance (Help Me) === This action allows an author to request help from other editors. * '''Trigger:''' Can be triggered by the URL parameter <code>?helpme=1</code>. * '''Algorithm:''' ** Performs the security checks (Host and Namespace). ** It fetches the current page content. ** It checks if the <code>{{tl|Helpneeded}}</code> template already exists. If yes, it shows an "already requested help" warning and stops. ** It shows a dialog box with information about requesting help, including links to the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/Assistance|Water Cooler/Assistance]] page and the Telegram group. ** '''On user clicking "Request Help":''' *** It prepends the <code>{{tl|Helpneeded}}</code> template to the page content. *** It saves the page with the edit summary: "Requesting assistance". *** It reloads the page. === Mark as Under Review === This action is restricted to reviewers (editors) to signal they have started reviewing the article. * '''Trigger:''' Can be triggered by the URL parameter <code>?underreview=1</code>. * '''Algorithm:''' ** It first checks if the user is in the <code>editor</code> user group. If not, it shows a "reviewer only" error and stops. ** It fetches the current page content. ** It checks if the <code>{{tl|Under review}}</code> template already exists. If yes, it shows an "already under review" warning and stops. ** '''If all checks pass:''' *** It prepends the <code>{{tl|Under review}}</code> template to the page content. *** It saves the page with the edit summary: "Marking article as under review". *** It reloads the page. === Find Abandoned Article to Help === This feature helps editors find an article that needs work. * '''Trigger:''' Can be triggered by the URL parameter <code>?helpabandoned=1</code>. * '''Algorithm:''' ** It first queries [[:Category:Article assistance requested]]. ** '''If articles are found in that category''' (and are not the current page): *** It randomly selects one article and redirects the user to it. ** '''If that category is empty:''' *** It queries [[:Category:Review]]. *** It filters the list to find "abandoned" articles (last edited more than 5 days ago), excluding the current page. *** If abandoned articles are found, it randomly selects one and redirects the user. *** If no ''abandoned'' articles are found, it randomly selects ''any'' other article from [[:Category:Review]] (excluding the current page) and redirects the user. *** If no other articles are found at all, it shows a notification. === Pre-Review Actions === This opens a dialog that lets a user either request a pre-review or perform one. * '''Trigger:''' Can be triggered by the URL parameter <code>?pre-review=1</code>. * '''Algorithm:''' ** Performs the security checks (Host and Namespace). ** It opens a dialog with two buttons: "Request Pre Review" and "Perform Pre Review". * '''Sub-Action: Request Pre Review''' ** If the user clicks "Request Pre Review". ** It checks if the <code>{{tl|Pre-review}}</code> template already exists. If yes, it shows a warning. ** Otherwise, it prepends the <code>{{tl|Pre-review}}</code> template to the page. ** It saves the page with the edit summary: "Requesting pre-review". ** It reloads the page. * '''Sub-Action: Perform Pre Review''' ** If the user clicks "Perform Pre Review" (or triggers with <code>?pre-review-perform=1</code>). ** It dynamically loads another script: <code>[[MediaWiki:SubmitWizard/Pre-Review.js]]</code>. ** It then calls the <code>triggerPreReviewAction()</code> function from that newly loaded script. ** (Note: The actual logic for ''performing'' the pre-review is contained in <code>[[MediaWiki:SubmitWizard/Pre-Review.js]]</code>, not this script.) 8u47733diykiwqzqa97alv6mmb2pvqw 0 3031841 4894289 4893169 2025-11-01T00:47:38Z BigKrow 2871522 4894289 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|October 12, 2025}} {{stale}} Twelve years ago today, Pokémon X and Y were released for the Nintendo 3DS. Unlike previous Pokémon games, which would be released in Japan months before being released in other countries, this pair of games was released worldwide on the same date: October 12, 2013. Here is something you likely didn't know about Pokémon X and Y. Did you know that some cutscenes of the story are repeatable? That's right! Even if you've finished the main story, unlocking the credits sequence. While most cutscenes of the story can be viewed only once per save file, only when you are at the specific point in the story when that cutscene occurs, the Holo Clips can be viewed indefinitely, no matter how far you are in the story, no matter how long ago you finished the main story, and no matter how far you are in post-game missions. Maybe it's just me, but I often wish that I could rewatch story cutscenes. In recent years, there have been many proposed suggestions, made by fans, for how the Pokémon series can become even better in future games. Lately, with the upcoming release of ''Pokémon Legends: Z-A,'' voice acting has been a commonly requested feature that can be implemented in future games. My suggestion? Please add a feature that allows players to rewatch story cutscenes or re-experience parts of the story even if the player has already completed the story. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl,'' there is an "adventure" mode in the game called "Subspace Emissary," and there is a separate feature that allows you to watch the cutscenes whenever you want. Please, Game Freak (and Nintendo and TPC), please add a "Key Item" or an option on the menu screen that allows players to watch story cutscenes at will. Sure, I can easily find YouTube videos of people playing through the game. Don't get me wrong. While "playthrough" video series are fun to watch, this is not a substitute, at least for me, for actually '''playing''' the game. Most cutscenes in Pokémon X and Y can be viewed only once. Well, technically, like any other Pokémon game, you can simply turn off your game without saving, but this is still limited access to that cutscene. Why? Because as soon as you save the game at any later point in the game, you can never watch that cutscene again on that save file, unless you delete your save file and start a new save file. The fireworks at Parfum Palace? Gone forever, never to be seen again. The part of the story where you take on Team Flare at the Kalos Power Plant on Route 13? Only once per adventure, never to be seen again. The lighting of the Prism Tower? Also a one-time thing. And how about one of the coolest cutscenes in the game? When Lysandre activates the Ultimate Weapon? Unfortunately, you never get to see this again, either. And how about another amazing scene near the end? Although the four trainers of the Elite Four, plus Diantha, can be rematched as many times as you want, the Lumiose City parade, as well as the beautiful scene where AZ is reunited with his Floette after 3,000 long and painful years (giving rise to the famous "It's been 3,000 years" meme), will not play on subsequent victories against Diantha. While most cutscenes are non-repeatable, there are exceptions. Throughout the story, you get a new message on a device called the "Holo Caster." These videos, called Holo Clips, can be watched as many time as you want, regardless of your progress, after you receive them. The first Holo Clip of the game is received after you leave the Café Soleil in Lumiose City; right as you are about to reach the gate to Route 5, you receive a message from Tierno in which he lets you know that he is already on Route 5. To rewatch any Holo Clip, open the "Bag," go to "Key Items," select "Holo Caster," then select the Holo Clip you wish to view. Although it is unfortunate that most cutscenes cannot be viewed again, I am glad that there are a select few that '''can''' be viewed again. It would have been nice to see that romantic scene with Shauna and the fireworks again. It would have been nice to see the cutscene where Lysandre activates the Ultimate Weapon and blows up Geosenge Town. Even though that scene is terrifying and deadly in-universe (though you and others thankfully escape unscathed), it looks '''so cool''' on my 3DS screen.

Though it borrows some of its story from Shakespeare’s “{{w|Othello}}” and much of its tone from apocalyptic movie blockbusters like “The Dark Knight Rises,” this tale of a once-and-future civil war still seems to translate into two-dimensional panels as you watch it. You can imagine thought bubbles rising from the characters’ heads, as they brood in ways idealistic and dastardly in a devastated city of tomorrow still steeped in a suffocating past. This is true even when they’re wailing like Bruno Mars or rapping like Nicki Minaj. They also often speak in urgent, public-bulletin-style declarations that help fill us in on recent events, like: “Willow Turner is missing ... We have reason to believe she is headed for the city.” The news is most entertaining when it’s broadcast by a serious joker identified as Clown MC, who delivers the dish rap-style in “Venice,” which was previously staged in Kansas City and Los Angeles and opened on Thursday night as part of the Public’s valuable Lab series. First seen with a laptop composing this show’s opening lines (which are projected on the walls around him), Clown MC would also seem to be the guy pulling the strings in the story. This is fitting, since he is played by Mr. Sax, who wrote the show’s score and, with Mr. Rosen, its lyrics. (Mr. Rosen, the show’s director, did the book.) A man of improbably elastic face and form, Mr. Sax, who in 2008 starred in the one-man show “Clay” (created with Mr. Rosen), is an original voice and presence, a rapper from the suburbs who regularly morphs from self-conscious square to wriggling, blissed-out Slinky. You can feel the joy he takes in summoning the characters into being as “Venice” begins, assessing the actors with sly and shy glances as they appear onstage. When he shows up toward the end of the first act as the host of a spectacularly doomed wedding party, he’s so electrified that you expect him to short-circuit. He brings to mind a kid who has created an elaborate fantasy universe out of objects in his bedroom, and has come to believe this world is a hundred times more real, not to mention exciting, than the daily routine at home and school. Though Mr. Odom doesn’t have the strength of malice that a first-rate villain requires, he makes sweetly insinuating music in his falsetto range, and has one of the show’s best songs, the revenge-survival anthem “Last Man.” Ms. Damiano’s clarion voice is always a pleasure and delight to listen to, though her Willow, partly inspired by Shakespeare’s Desdemona, is otherwise short on defining characteristics. Still, what’s a leading lady to do when she has to sing lines like “I’m still, the calm ahead of the storm/I feel the dark ahead of the dawn”? At such moments we need Mr. Sax’s Clown MC, who is missing in action for far too much of the second act, to swoop in and rescue us from banality. It’s remarkable how many clichés you’re willing to forgive when they’re tumbled together in a nonstop rap rant, delivered by a performer like Mr. Sax, who gets high on his own delirious rhymes. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = |title = |author = |pub = |date = e.g. December 31, 1999 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = |title = |author = |pub = |date = |archiveurl = }} gze3y28yvdok6wrtlzm6mwkcckktcz4 0 3032260 4893982 4893727 2025-10-31T02:59:13Z Bech07 2907151 Submitting article for review (via [[MediaWiki:SubmitWizard.js/doc|SubmitWizard]]) 4893982 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Review}} {{Date |1=October 30, 2025}} {{United States}} [[w:Donald Trump|Donald Trump]], the [[w:President of the United States|President of the United States]], announced on Thursday that he had ordered the [[w:United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] to resume nuclear weapons testing to match programs in [[w:Russia]] and [[w:China]]. The directive followed a Russian claim of successfully testing a nuclear-capable underwater drone. Trump made the announcement via a post on his [[w:Truth Social|Truth Social]] platform minutes before beginning a bilateral summit with Chinese President [[w:Xi Jinping]] in [[w:Seoul]], [[South Korea]] their first face-to-face meeting since Trump's inauguration for a second non-consecutive term in January 2025. "Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis," Trump wrote, naming Russia and China specifically. He stated that the United States possesses more nuclear weapons than any other nation and credited his administration with completing "a complete update and renovation of existing weapons." Trump added that "Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within five years." He provided no further details on the scope, timeline, or location of the planned tests, saying only that "the process will begin immediately." The announcement came one day after Russian President [[w:Vladimir Putin|Vladimir Putin]] stated on October 29 that Russia had successfully tested a nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable underwater drone, identified by Russian officials as the [[w:Poseidon (drone)|Poseidon]] system. Putin described the test as proceeding "in defiance of Washington’s warnings," according to state media. A senior Russian general separately confirmed that Moscow had also tested a new nuclear-powered cruise missile, though no independent verification of either claim was immediately available. The U.S. has not conducted a full nuclear explosive test since 1992, relying instead on subcritical experiments and computer simulations under the [[w:Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty]] framework, which Washington signed but never ratified. Trump's order, if implemented, would mark the first U.S. nuclear detonation in over three decades. White House officials declined to comment on whether the directive violates existing moratoriums or international agreements. The Pentagon referred inquiries to the president's statement. Trump and Xi met for over two hours in Seoul amid escalating tensions over trade, Taiwan, and regional security. No joint statement on nuclear issues was released following the summit. == Sources == *{{Source |url = https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/trump-says-hes-ordered-us-to-start-nuclear-weapons-testing/article70219617.ece |title = Trump says he’s ordered U.S. to start nuclear weapons testing |author = |publisher = The Hindu |date = October 30, 2025 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.newsonair.gov.in/us-president-donald-trump-orders-resumption-of-us-nuclear-weapons-testing/ |title = US President Donald Trump Orders Resumption of US Nuclear Weapons Testing |author = |publisher = News On Air (All India Radio) |date = October 30, 2025 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-asks-pentagon-immediately-start-testing-us-nuclear-weapons-2025-10-30/ |title = Trump asks Pentagon to immediately start testing US nuclear weapons |author = Ismail Shakil |publisher = Reuters |date = October 30, 2025 }} *{{Source |url = https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-orders-us-nuclear-weapons-testing-begin-immediately-after-russia-tests-new-missiles |title = Trump orders US nuclear weapons testing to begin 'immediately' after Russia tests new missiles |author = Anders Hagstrom |publisher = Fox News |date = October 30, 2025 }} [[Category:Nuclear weapons]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Russia]] [[Category:China]] [[Category:Seoul]] 0797f4fpvnxo9qbj6smhdge50ip7bu4 90 3032310 4893716 2025-10-30T10:46:43Z Sheminghui.WU 2869677 Reply to [[Thread:Comments:Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla/Greta/reply|Greta]] 4893716 wikitext text/x-wiki Metoo.

Please note that reviewing 100% of articles every day is not required as it may lead to burning out. Reviewing one article a week or one article a fortnight would work very well noting that in case of being not ready it may require urgent re-review after someone fixed it up. Thanks.
