Wikinews:Water cooler/policy/archives/2011/August

Personal image filter referendum
Hello. :) Though this is not local policy, the dates are approaching, and I wanted to make sure that your project was aware--as it is certainly far-reaching. (It seems like it might not have a lot of impact here, but might, and could certainly still be of interest.)

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own accounts. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August. You can read more about it at m:Image filter referendum/en; if you are interested in weighing in, you may especially want to review M:Image filter referendum/FAQ/en. Thanks! --Mdennis (WMF) (talk) 13:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Could've been done, relatively trivially, and ages ago, by having a javascript widget to display Microsoft Bob instead of any "regular" image. My concern is actually having to 'rate' images for the filter to work. Might read the full proposal later. --Brian McNeil / talk 05:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposal to make reviewing easier and end the publication of bogus material
Proposal: Require inline citations before publication to show where each fact in an article derived. The citations could be removed upon publication. This would significantly decrease the time required to search for a fact and would keep the writer(s) organized while preventing intentional or unintentional insertion of bogus material.--William S. Saturn (talk) 22:57, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It would eb easier, I expect, if we did it with hidden comments. That way we wouldn't even need to remove them. DEN  DODGE  George Watson  23:01, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe bawolff built a system like that, whereby you could enable a gadget that allowed you to toggle the citations on and off. Non-reviewers didn't get the option, so the citations were hidden then. Nobody ever actually used it, which I think is a shame because it had great potential. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 23:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Tada.wav — μchip08 23:20, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Miscellaneous thoughts.
 * I've wondered about this sort of thing, but there are a couple of serious difficulties I've never seen how to get around.
 * Never saw how it could fail to add significantly to technical complexity.
 * The reviewer needs to have looked through all the sources in their entirety, at least once, to have a sense of what is there so they can recognize contradictions and inconsistencies (and copyvios!). Just because a fact is in fact stated in a certain place in a certain source, doesn't mean it's okay.  So we need to be very wary of a device that might encourage reviewers (and authors) to only check that everything said in the article appears somewhere in a source.
 * On two or three occasions I was aware of, with an article having a largish number of sources, an author has provided a verbal description of what information was drawn from each source. That was, as I recall, immensely useful.
 * --Pi zero (talk) 23:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Do we have a program that can be used to search for plagiarism? --William S. Saturn (talk) 00:08, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. — μchip08 01:05, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I was referring to something more like Grammarly.--William S. Saturn (talk) 05:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Pi Zero raises the biggest concern over this: It makes contributing substantially more technically challenging. --Brian McNeil / talk 05:07, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Referendum time!!!!!
I know the image-hiding feature most likely won't affect Wikinews, but do make sure to express your opinion regardless. A lot is at stake! :) Ragettho (talk) 03:26, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:New drug may treat virtually all viral infections/A Curse in Disguise?/reply (6)

To expand on that, a virus is actually considered unsuccessful if it kills you. While a bacterium will feed on living or dead material without really caring what harm it does, a virus needs living tissue in order to reproduce, so they usually do whatever they can to avoid killing the animals (including humans) that they infect. The flu manages to spread itself very effectively in sneezes and things, but a normal healthy adult human won't die from it - they will be miserable for a while, spread the virus to the people around them, and then recover when their body manages to kill the virus.

So this isn't so much a life-saving drug as a drug that will make people happier.

The one exception I can think of would be HIV, which does kill people if it turns into AIDS. As a whole, that is actually a very unsuccessful virus. It is spread by sexual contact, which means that most people will only pass it on to one or two other people (unless someone like Sarkozy gets it), and it can often kill the people it infects. But that is, as I said, an exception.

Thread:Comments:New drug may treat virtually all viral infections/A Curse in Disguise?/reply (7)

I'd say HIV is very successful. The virus's selfish interest lies in keeping the host alive long enough to spread the virus to others. It does that, and even better, the host may remain unaware of the virus for some time while spreading it; that stealth is important because once the host becomes aware of hosting the virus, the host may behave in ways that don't spread the virus as much. When the host's behavior changes so, it makes that host less valuable to the virus — so it then doesn't matter so much (to the virus) whether the host dies.

Thread:Comments:New drug may treat virtually all viral infections/A Curse in Disguise?/reply (8)

Yes, but it can only be spread to one or two other people, and very slowly. If someone were born with HIV, it won't be passed on to anybody else for at least 16 years (assuming they do it all legally), and perhaps a lot more. Once the host does start having unprotected sex, it is likely that they will be in a long-term committed relationship (and trying for a baby), so the only person they can pass it on to would be their partner, and they hopefully aren't sleeping around. In a person's lifetime, they probably won't spread it to more than ten people, even assuming they were born with it. Add to that the chance that the host could quite easily find out about it from a doctor or die from it, and the virus doesn't really stand very good odds.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jesus christ. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jesus christ~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Murdoch offers murdered phone hacking victim’s family 3 million pond settlement
There was already a submission about this story waiting in the review queue, about thirteen hours ahead of yours. (That's why the article creation forms generally say, or should, to check the main page and newsroom in case the story is already being covered.)

Usually in such situations the first-written story takes precedence, and the later one gets tagged to be merged in (though since you're both UoW students, merging might be awkward...). --Pi zero (talk) 15:59, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Pakistan government must investigate killings and abductions of journalists, says UN

August 23, 2011

The United Nations (UN) on Friday called on the government of Pakistan to investigate numerous killings and abductions, particularly of journalists.

“In the past eight days alone we have received reports on the killing of one journalist, Munir Shakir, in on August 14 2011, and the disappearance of another journalist, Rehmatullah Daparkhel, three days earlier in  on August 11,” said spokesperson for the, Rupert Colville.

According to the, nine journalists have been killed in Pakistan this year, and at least 16 were killed in 2010. None of the killings had been investigated satisfactorily, Colville said.

Colville said that the UN would like to see the government review all of the incidents. “We call on all responsible parties to immediately stop such violations of human rights, and we urge the government to take immediate steps to independently investigate these cases,” he said.

Amnesty International has also urged the government of Pakistan to ensure the protection of journalists and media workers in the country. They have further called upon the Pakistani authorities to investigate attacks on journalists and to try those responsible in line with internationally recognised standards of human rights.

Colville said that the recent attacks on journalists were not uncommon in Pakistan and that many journalist groups regard the country as one of the most dangerous places to work.

Shakir was shot dead after covering a protest organized by a Baloch separatist organization. Irshad Matsoi, the bureau chief for the Online News Network where Shakir worked, said that the killing was linked to the journalist’s work. Journalism in Balochistan is becoming “an endangered profession,” Matsoi said.

(RWB) have appealed for punishment of those responsible for the murder. According to RWB, journalists do not feel free to report in Balochistan, which has led to self-censorship in the region.

The whereabouts of Daparkhel, kidnapped on August 11, is still unknown. The worldwide press freedom organization said that the government must do everything they can to find him immediately. “It is unacceptable that local journalists have to do the job of the police and investigate on their own using their contacts,” the organization said.

The (HRCP) has condemned the incidents. “There is a growing sense of insecurity among media persons who increasingly interpret each attack on journalists as a warning to ‘behave,’” the HRCP said last Monday. The HRCP also said that in almost all cases of violence against journalists in the last few years, those responsible have not been identified or punished.

“The HRCP calls upon the government to respond through effective action and not mere words in the next few days, sending a strong message to the mischief makers that it would no longer stand by as a mere spectator as journalists are killed and snatched,” the Commission said.

Guyana president's libel case heard in court

August 21, 2011 Guyana's President seeks more than 10 million (nearly US$50,000) in damages for an article published in  suggesting he was a racist, a court heard on Friday.

The June 2010 article headed "King Kong sent his goons to disrupt the conference" prompted Jagdeo to sue the newspaper, columnist who wrote the article, Editor Adam Harris and.

The President's affidavit stated, "For the respondents/defendants to publish the aforesaid allegations is not only libelous but is also malicious, irresponsible and inflammatory, calculated and designed to excite racial hostilities amongst the people of Guyana and to cause a racial rift between the people of Guyana and their democratically elected Government."

Dr Roger Luncheon, Head of the Presidential Secretariat testified in the proceedings, and told Justice Ian Chang that he was convinced the article accused President Jagdeo of being a racist, leaving the reader with a negative connotation. The witness said that the newspaper published a number of articles which implied members of the Cabinet and Government officials were racist and discriminatory towards. Luncheon stated that he had never seen any evidence of racism or racial policies practised by the President or the Government. Jagdeo contended that the article had caused "great public embarrassment, held us up to odium and ridicule, both nationally and internationally."

Nigel Hughes cross-examined Luncheon for the defence, asking about the ethnicity of the persons serving overseas as Government diplomats and head of agencies. He replied that they were Indians, with the exception of one person. Attorney of law Anil Nandlall interrupted, arguing there was no justification for the defence to be pursuing cross-examination of that description, which sparked legal arguments between the lawyers of the President and the defendants.

The matter was adjourned to Wednesday for continuation and ruling.

Egypt recalls envoy in Israel

August 21, 2011 Yasser Reda Ali Abdullah Said, the Egyptian ambassador in Israel, was recalled by the Egyptian government yesterday, who claim that the countries' 1979 peace treaty had been breached by the killing of five Egyptian security personnel as Israeli forces pursued cross-border raiders. Attacks inside Israel which killed eight Israelis led to what Reuters describes as the most acute crisis in ties between the countries since Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February, with Egyptian troops being killed in a subsequent shootout between Israeli soldiers pursuing the militants along the Israeli-Egypt border.

The Egyptian cabinet, in an official statement, said that they laid "the political and legal responsibility for the incident, which constitutes a breach of the peace treaty" between the countries, on Israel. They also ordered foreign minister to summon the Israeli ambassador and demand an official condemnation from Israeli leaders for their statements accusing Egyptian military rulers of losing their grasp on the, a huge desert buffer zone between Egypt and Israel.

A few hundred Egyptians burned Israeli flags and tore down metal barriers, at the Israeli embassy in Cairo, demanding the expulsion of the Israeli envoy.

"One thing is sure, there is not a single person in Israel who wants to harm an Egyptian policeman or soldier," Amos Gilad, a liaison officer with the Palestinians and Egypt, said on .

Israeli Prime Minister consulted cabinet ministers about a potential response.

The Egyptians had also recalled their ambassador in on previous occasions, such as Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon and during the heavy Israeli shelling of the Gaza Strip in 2000.

"The cabinet committee has decided to withdraw the Egyptian ambassador in Israel until the result of investigations by the Israeli authorities is provided and an apology from the Israeli leadership over the hasty and regrettable statements about Egypt is given," the cabinet statement said.

Citing concern about security in the, the Israelis said the attackers infiltrated from the Gaza Strip, which is run by Hamas, through the Egypt-controlled Sinai Desert, despite Egyptian security's attempts to find the radicals.

Cairo rejected the accusation which stated that it had lost control of Sinai. The cabinet's decisions came after a meeting attended by generals in the army and, the Egyptian intelligence chief.

The cabinet statement also added that "Egypt will take every precaution to secure its border with Israel to deter any infiltrators, and to respond to any Israeli military activity toward the Egyptian border."

The peace treaty of 1979 limits the number of troops Egypt can deploy in the Sinai.

Emad Gad, senior researcher at Cairo's, said that neither Egypt nor Israel was keen to escalate the issue further. "Withdrawing the Egyptian ambassador is a good step but Egypt still has to insist on a formal apology from Israel," he added.

The Cairo-based will hold an urgent meeting on Sunday in order to discuss the Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip, following the attacks on Israel, that killed fifteen Palestinians.

Red Arrows pilot killed at 2011 Bournemouth air display

August 20, 2011

Flight Lieutenant Jon "Eggman" Egging, 33, of the Aerobatic Team (The ) has been killed in a crash, shortly after a display in, England. This is the first fatality involving the team for 23 years.

The jet aircraft crashed at 13:50 BST on the banks of river Stour, near  village. A witness, Shaun Spencer-Perkins, said the aircraft "bounced across the field [and] ... across the river. Members of the public jumped into the water to search for the cockpit." closed briefly, following the incident, but has since reopened and is operating normally.

Emergency services were called to the scene, but Egging, who was reportedly thrown clear of the cockpit during the crash, was pronounced dead at the scene, local police announced. He joined the team in autumn 2010 and is the first active member of the team to be killed since 1988. The is investigating the cause of the accident.

Egging is believed to have been attempting to avoid nearby houses before the crash. Local residents, who were attempting to rescue the pilot, found an empty ejector seat and parachute at the scene, and believed the pilot to be already dead when they found him.

Amateur video
So far, there is no official explanation for the accident. Amateur footage of the accident shows the aircraft making a tight turn as part of a fan-out manoeuvre, along with other aircraft from the team. Egging's aircraft then heads towards the horizon, with no apparent radical course change or additional manoeuvre, before disappearing out of sight behind a building. All the aircraft leave a white trail of smoke behind the aircraft, as is a routine part of the Red Arrows display.

La Liga fixtures face delay due to players' strike

August 21, 2011

A proposed players' strike could postpone the start of, the top professional division of the Spanish.

Spanish football functionaries and players will hold last minute talks on Friday to avert a strike that could see the start of the Spanish football season postponed. If the talks fail, the strike would be first strike of its kind since 1984. The strike was called due to the growing issue of unpaid wages. The disagreement rises from Spain's bankruptcy laws, which allow for the payment of wages to be delayed like any other debt. Six teams in Spain's top flight are currently and owe over 200 players close to 72 million.

Spain's footballers will go on strike from Friday to Monday, canceling the start of both the first and second divisions. Top clubs, and  will be the high profile casualties of this postponement. There has been almost universal support for the strike with coaches and players of many clubs supporting the strike. Barcelona forward said: "We have made clear that all the players support the players' association, if a solution is not found, we won't play." When coach  was asked to comment, he made his stance clear by saying "I think it's ok what the players are doing now," pointing to the discrepancies between the riches of Barcelona, Real Madrid and the rest of Spanish football.

captain told  on Thursday that the time for all the players to unite had come and enough is enough. "We aren't asking for more money - only that the contracts that have been signed are fulfilled. Either this is resolved once and for all or we don't play. We cannot continue like this," he added. striker echoed the players' position: "If necessary, there will be no football in Spain throughout the whole year. If we have to maintain our stance until May, we will."

striker told the 's African sports programme Fast Track: "Not all the players are owed, but there is solidarity. I don't think the strike is good for anybody - it's not good for us, it's not good for the federation, it's not good for the fans. We had expected that we were going to start [the league] this weekend but we can't - they have to resolve the issues. Once they have resolved everything, then we will start."

Further talks are expected to take place on Saturday and Monday.

Hi. Just a note to say, for most contributors the first article is the hardest, because it's when you're learning the basics of en.wn writing. Once you have the basics, it gets much easier (not that any of us ever stop learning, of course). --Pi zero (talk) 15:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand your say. But this time I did try my best. So please help me publish it! :) Argha.hazra (talk) 11:11, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The article's own troubles were compounded by numerous other articles arriving on the review queue, competing with it for attention. Looks like this one got away from us.  Hopefully it's been a learning experience.  Honestly, entrenched sourcing problems like this are exceedingly hard to fix; the best way to deal with them is to not let them arise to begin with, when first writing the article.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:46, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Hang in there!!
It's a shame your blackout article didn't make it through review.......it was a fantastic effort!!! Hang in there!! Surely, with such a cataclysmic event, there're some current stories you could use to start a new article with, yes? Additionally, if handled correctly, you can even fold those old articles (from various sources) into that article's list of sources.....there's a few different ways you can make it flow, but again, if an event is huge enough, you can always make something work!! Please try again!! --Bddpaux (talk) 00:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, your article is interesting. It is not ready for publishing yet, please, take a look at the review comments; the main concern is that you only tried to write the first paragraph (see WN:C).

Social networks asked to visit UK Home Office after riots

August 23, 2011 Representatives of leading social network platforms have been asked to attend a meeting at the United Kingdom's Home Office to discuss their role in the recent UK riots. The meeting, scheduled to take place on Thursday, comes after rioters used the networks to further fuel violence and looting that occurred earlier this month.

Officials from Facebook have confirmed that they will be present, but Twitter has yet to indicate whether they will attend. has suggested that it might attend.

"We look forward to meeting with the home secretary to explain the measures we have been taking to ensure that Facebook is a safe and positive platform for people in the UK at this challenging time," Facebook said in a statement given to the BBC.

A series of individuals have been arrested and are now being charged for using online networking platforms to provoke riots. Two of those already charged include Jordon Blackshaw, 21, and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22, who last Wednesday were each sentenced to four years imprisonment.

The four-year sentences have been considered the most severe punishment handed down amidst the recent UK riots. Presiding over the case, Judge Elgan Edwards stated that he hoped the sentences would serve as deterrents to similar unrest.

Libya: Rebels edge closer to Tripoli

August 22, 2011

Libyan rebels edged closer to the capital city of Tripoli on Sunday to help fellow mutineers inside the city who declared a final clash with leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Following a night marred with gunfire, the rebels said that they controlled a handful of Tripoli's localities. With the rebels within about 25 km of Tripoli, Gaddafi's hold on power looks fragile. He labelled the rebels, who had been fighting for the past six months, as "rats" and said that he would not yield to their demands.

A coordinated revolt that rebels had been secretly planning for months saw gunfire across Tripoli, instantly after Muslim clerics called people onto the streets. The revolution, combined with rebels advancing to the capital's periphery, appears to signal the critical chapter in the "" uprising, which is in its sixth-month now.

"The rebels may have risen too early in Tripoli and the result could be a lot of messy fighting," said, a former British ambassador to Libya. "The regime may not have collapsed in the city to quite the extent they think it has."

The rebels' advance toward the city was quick, and the mutineers have halved the distance between them and the capital. Government forces put up a brief fight at the village of, leaving behind a burned-out tank, and some torched cars. On their way to Tripoli, the rebels paused long enough and filled some walls with, one reading: "We are here and we are fighting Gaddafi."

In Benghazi, the rebels' main stronghold and the genesis of the revolt, a senior official said everything was going according to plan. "Our revolutionaries are controlling several neighborhoods and others are coming in from outside the city to join their brothers at this time," said, vice chairman of the rebel.

Gaddafi — in hiding since the NATO attacks on Libya in June — said in an audio recording broadcast late yesterday that he had no intention of succumbing to the rebellion. A spokesman for Gaddafi,, in a briefing for foreign reporters echoed the message of defiance and said: "The armed units defending Tripoli from the rebels wholeheartedly believe that if this city is captured, the blood will run everywhere; so they may as well fight to the end."

"We hold, and  morally responsible for every single unnecessary death that takes place in this country," he added, referring to the leaders of NATO members, the United States, United Kingdom, and France.

Underground rebel cells in the capital had been following detailed plans developed months ago and had been waiting for a signal to start. The signal was "iftar" – the moment when Muslims who observe the holy months of break their daily fast. Imams started broadcasting their message from the loudspeakers of mosques and minarets.

A rebel activist in the city said pro-Gaddafi forces had put on the rooftops of buildings around, Gaddafi's compound, and on the top of a nearby water tower.

State television flashed a message urging citizens not to allow rebels to hide on their rooftops. "Agents and al Qaeda members are trying to destabilize and sabotage the city. You should prevent them from exploiting your houses and buildings, confront them and cooperate with counter-terrorism units, to capture them," it read.

Thread:Comments:Egypt recalls envoy in Israel/Sinai Peace

Egypt never wanted peace with Israel, but the only way Egypt could get the Sinai back was to sign a peace treaty with Israel. After the peace treaty was signed, Egypt's president Anwar Sadat was assasinated by the same people that overthrew Hosni Mubarrack. Egypt receives billions upon billions of U.S. dollars in U.S. foreign aid. These people don't like or respect the U.S. Maybe it's time for them start to looking elsewhere for their aid. All the money that has gone in there could have helped our social security seniors here in the U.S.

Freshwater lakes in Texas show signs of extreme drought

August 29, 2011

Extreme drought conditions this summer have reduced many of Texas' freshwater lakes to a fraction of their usual water levels. Central Texas, home to Lake Buchanan and Lake Travis, has seen severe effects of the drought. Those two lakes are currently 45 percent full and further drops in water levels are anticipated. Austin, the state's capital, has recorded 70 days of 100-degree heat already this summer.

The state saw less than an inch of rainfall in July alone. Residents of Henderson county are concerned that has reached levels which haven't been seen since the 1980's. Some report that fishing in general has been hard-hit. Residents also report excessive sightings of snakes in and around residential areas near the lake, an effect believed to be caused by drought conditions.

Collectively, estimates recently showed the state's reservoirs to be at 68% capacity. Chris Ransom of Houston told Wikinews on August 21 that is "all dried up now." He went on to state that Lake Houston water levels have dropped significantly this summer. He also stated that, while an avid fisherman, he's ceased almost all such activities within the past few weeks. Meteorologist Bob Rose told news sources that heat conditions are likely to continue into September.

Former Wikileaks employee destroys unpublished leaked documents

August 23, 2011 A former Wikileaks employee has destroyed 3,500 unpublished leaks to Julian Assange’s site, and taken the site’s encrypted system to create a spinoff project.

, Assange’s former right-hand man, left Wikileaks last year after a disagreement between the pair; and, has now demolished files sent to the Wikileaks site such as the US, documents and "detailed information about 20 neo-Nazi groups".

Domscheit-Berg took the whistle-blower site's submission system to create a rival-site,, consequently Wikileaks will not be able to receive online leaked files, and will have to use "snail mail" from an Australian PO box.

In an interview with , Domscheit-Berg said the unpublished documents had been shredded to protect their sources. In his book published this year, 'Inside Wikileaks', he revealed his motives for destroying the files and taking the encrypted system, writing, "children shouldn’t play with guns". He stated the material would be returned to Assange "if and when he can prove that he can store the material securely and handle it carefully".

Wikileaks retaliated, claiming the destroying of documents hindered the "leaking of many issues of public importance", accusing Domsheit-Berg of theft and sabotage. Via twitter, Wikileaks gave several responses over the weekend, writing, "DDB spits on every courageous whistleblower who leaked data if they destroy the keys and refuse to return it".

In a statement made by Wikileaks, Assange claims Domscheit-Berg was in contact with the FBI, and is assisting the US investigation into the site. Another statement from Wikileaks claims Domscheit-Berg has "repeatedly attempted to blackmail Wikileaks by threatening to make available, to forces that oppose Wikileaks, these private communications".

On August 14, Wikileaks accused OpenLeaks of stealing its ideas. Domscheit-Berg aims to make the rival site a more transparent and democratic site than Wikileaks.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Smriti. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Smriti~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Carter. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Carter~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

What to do when an interviewee states a fact wrong
For my interview with Andy Martin, he states "The president of the Senate is third, not the speaker, so Reid is a practical choice. Boehner is fourth"

This is wrong. Reid is not the President of the Senate (which is the Vice President) and neither is he the President pro tempore of the Senate (Daniel Inouye), which follows the Speaker (John Boehner) in the line of succession. The goes: How should it be noted in the interview article that the interviewee is mistaken?--William S. Saturn (talk) 20:37, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Vice President
 * 2) Speaker of the House of Representatives
 * 3) President pro tempore of the Senate
 * [sic recte]? Or just [sic (whatever your correction is)]. See Sic. Or if you have to give a longer explanation, an [Editor's Note: ...] might help. Best, Ragettho (talk) 04:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You didn't bring this up when you asked follow-up questions? Ragettho (talk) 06:08, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The interview was highly contentious and Mr. Martin has signaled that it is over.--William S. Saturn (talk) 06:11, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

 * It's a bit of a judgement call. I feel there's no obligation to ever place corrections - just to repeat what the interviewee said. An editor's note would be acceptable for a glaring error such as this. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:26, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd go for putting an editor's note immediately after the question, something like this:
 * Editor's note: Reid is not the president of the Senate, as this position belongs to the vice president, Joe Biden; nor is he president pro tempore of the Senate—this is Daniel Inouye. Boehner, as the speaker of the House of Representatives, follows the vice president in the line of succession, and would be followed by the president pro tempore, Inouye.
 * That may be a bit wordy, but I'm not familiar with US politics, so I didn't want to miss anything important. DEN  DODGE  George Watson  14:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * "Editor's note" sounds more appropriate and accessible than "sic". It should be fine to place either immediately after the question or as a linked footnote. I know little about the intricacies of US government, but Dendodge's wording seems good. Should the note be backed up with reference to a reliable source? the wub "?!"  18:35, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's the text of the note I added, perhaps it is too wordy but I feel the quotes give it more authority:

According to Article I, Section III of the United States Constitution, the "The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate". Therefore, Vice President Joe Biden is President of the Senate, not Harry Reid.

According to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, "if, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President." Therefore, John Boehner, as the speaker of the House of Representatives follows the vice president as second in the line of succession. In the event of Boehner's inability to assume the office, the act specifies that "the President pro tempore of the Senate shall, upon his resignation as President pro tempore and as Senator, act as President." Therefore, President pro tempore of the United States Senate follows the speaker as third in the line of succession.

--William S. Saturn (talk) 23:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If you're going to write that much, then definitely do it as a footnote. Perhaps an [Editor's Note: The line of succession is actually as follows: Biden, Boehner, Inouye], followed by an inline citation linky that leads to your to your longer, more descriptive footnote. Gopher65talk 00:21, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The above was added as a footnote to the end of the page. I do not know if it would be best to place a comment within the text.--William S. Saturn (talk) 00:32, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Jimbo on Wikinews at Wikimania
I was at Wikimania last week and during the board Q&A, Jimmy Wales mentioned Wikinews. From my :

 * Open source developer asked the board why they haven't started any new wiki projects since the opening of  in 2006, hinting at the potential benefits of creating Wikipedia-level, Foundation-blessed sister projects to collect material on  (to break the hold of proprietary database services) and also to collate bibliographic material and annotations to academic papers and documents, perhaps to connect with the increasing quantity of open data being published by scientists. Board member  (SJ) described how the board "don't have a clear process" for deciding on the creation, closing and modification of scope for existing projects but pointed to work being done by the Movement Roles project.
 * Jimmy Wales took a different tack, not endorsing the creation of new projects and not ruling them out, but suggesting that the Foundation and the board could do a better job of focussing on improving support for the other projects including specifically : "the Foundation has never provided much to Wikinews". Specifically on Wikinews, Wales noted that it "has not been the success it could have been", and compared it to the  which has been much more successful using a partially volunteer-driven model even though "it's not high quality" in terms of fact checking and neutrality like an improved Wikinews could be.

Just thought the Wikinews community might find this interesting. —Tom Morris (talk) 06:53, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * When last Jimbo stopped by Wikinews, he exhibited classic inability to comprehend how Wikinews works. As far as one could tell, he perceived anything different from the Wikipedian way as a foolish mistake to be corrected; his comments at that time helped to advance my thinking on fundamental incompatibilities between Wikipedian and Wikinewsie mindsets.  I didn't see any sign, by the end of that incident, that Jimbo was coming away from it any more clueful than he'd arrived; I've no way of knowing what went on elsewhere, of course, but I've never seen any reason for optimism.

 * Although we like to complain about the lack of respect we get (like Rodney Dangerfield or, perhaps, like anyone complaining about institutional cafeteria food), the above Wikimania comments make me think of an imperial colonial power massing troops on the border of a small neighboring republic and talking of the need to "liberate" it. --Pi zero (talk) 12:47, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Would you rather have us remain at the dismal position we're in right now? I'd be happy to consider any of the Foundation's suggestions for improvement.
 * How closely has Jimbo worked with the Wikinews community. When Wikipedia started out as a small group of volunteers, Jimbo seemed to have made all the right decisions to turn the project into the world's most famous encyclopedia. Perhaps it would be wise of us to seek his — and other WMF staff's — assistance. Ragettho (talk) 21:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * A few thoughts (tip of the iceberg, really).
 * Disagree with the use of the word "dismal". Notably, the project cannot be properly judged by the yardstick of comprehensive, virtually instantaneous coverage of the biggest stories of the day.  Increasing success of the project could eventually produce an approximation of that as a side-effect.
 * It isn't a choice between status quo and Jimbo's vision. Change is slow here for (at least) two reasons: because writing/reviewing reduces time for infrastructure, and because our infrastructural challenges are novel and authentically difficult.  Slow, determined change is totally different from stasis.
 * I'm wary of Jimbo's ideas (which is not like not listening), because of his entrenched misapprehensions when last here. People who have had a really great idea do sometimes get swacked on it and have trouble adapting to situations where something different is called for.
 * --Pi zero (talk) 23:11, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

notice of unavailability
Hey Wikinewsies! I will be on vacation starting today until Sunday night, so I won't be available to review any articles until Monday. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't even bother to tell everyone, but given the large amount of articles currently in the queue, I figured that it's best to inform you all of my absence. Happy editing! :) Ragettho (talk) 18:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Enjoy your vacation! And thanks for the heads up — We Have Been Warned. :-)   --Pi zero (talk) 18:50, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
