I would have preferred to see fewer pictures. As long as the most important images are shown, I would then be confident that the pictures presented in the article are actually worth going through.

HNAB Group article
Hi there. Just notifying you that as it stands, your article looks like it will faul heavily foul of being (a) not newsworthy, and (b) overly promotional/advertising. As such, it's almost certainly going to be deleted, possibly quite quickly. I'm guessing that you have a personal stake in this group, which makes it difficult (but admittedly not impossible) for you to report on it in a neutral fashion. As such, I strongly recommend you either try to make the article more newsworthy and neutral, or let it be deleted and if you still think the article belongs on Wikinews then getting someone else to write it, probably via Requested articles. Cheers, Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 05:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, I assume you're also the person who started a near-identical article while not logged in. I will be speedily deleting that one as spam, but giving you a bit of leeway for the one you created under this username. Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 05:15, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I will be deleting the other; it certainly isn't composed as news; we're not a community notice board, and it implies - without evidence - some wrongdoing on someone's part. Potential libel can't be allowed to stand. --Brian McNeil / talk 05:38, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, Brian. I left it alone but I was expecting that other admins may not be as lenient. Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 23:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous/archives/2011/May

Wikinews workshop
It's been proposed that we drop the bimonthly think-tank/brainstorming sessions held in #wikinews-workshop. A few users complained that it wasn't productive, and that there was no moderation, so it could become easily disorganised.

Personally, I share those concerns too, but I think there's a lot of potential behind the basic idea. I don't really have a strong opinion.

What do you think? Should we drop the idea altogether, or can we alter the format to make it more productive?

(For the unfamiliar with this topic, cf.: WN:Workshop).

Open to thoughts. -Tempodivalse [talk]  18:31, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There's little harm in keeping 'em. — μchip08 19:09, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think the IRC venue works. It's inherently volatile, and at the same time by nature off the beaten track.  The third workshop had a nasty edge to it (a prominent Wikinewsie simply walked out because of the bad atmosphere), and I think the causes of that are systemic.

 * The monolithic nature of the workshops also actually makes every other week too frequent, I suspect. Wikinews has a fast mode of operation for day-to-day stuff, and a slow mode of operation for infrastructural stuff.  It's not good when major infrastructural work is rushed, but we're also prone to lose momentum on long-term stuff, being distracted as we are by the day-to-day.  As I see it, the potential use of the workshops would have been to keep that long-term momentum from petering out altogether.  However, you don't get smooth motion from such monolithic events.  We may be able to devise some other device, but I don't see the IRC workshops as viable on an ongoing basis.

 * Conceivably, we could arrange some sort of simple device on the water cooler that could fulfill a momentum-preservation function. Some thought would have to go into how that would work, though, since once way of using the water coolers to preserve momentum was notably demonstrated not to work in the latter half of last year.  --Pi zero (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The problem with using the water cooler as a venue for "brainstorming" is that, in case of a sudden traffic spike, people are going to get edit conflicted all over the place. That was one motivation for me to move things to IRC. The disadvantage, of course, is that it's not as accessible to other users.

 * BarkingFish suggested that a few users be selected to moderate the channel and keep the discussion running smoothly. Looking thru the logs of the first hour of yesterday's meeting (before I joined) it seemed that might have helped lower the abrasive atmosphere that formed. Maybe we should make the workflow more like what the Office Hours, and hold them less frequently (maybe once monthly instead of twice). Tempodivalse [talk]  19:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is the log from the last workshop posted? Apparently I missed most of it, so I am curious what happened in the first half. Mattisse (talk) 20:11, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The log of the first hour and a bit is at WN:Workshop, the rest is UTC+1 timestamped at User:Microchip08/Log (for now, anyone care to migrate it?) — μchip08 20:12, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Er... I saw the first one or two sessions and they were fine, productive, and welcoming. Last Sunday I joined the channel, got impressed by the people discussing unproductively things like a mad bulldog... and I left it. Just like everything on Wikinews, after it goes down, it subsequently goes worse. アンパロ Io ti odio! 01:21, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Most things in life, once they go awry, tend to keep going, er, awrier. --Pi zero (talk) 01:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

arbitrary break

 * I've read the IRC log; other than the repeated regurgitation of the Wikipedia mantra that "Wikinews is useless", it did not seem that bad.
 * In the past, I have tried to import part of Wikipedia's article wizard but, got no help, and the form is quite quite different so a lot of work on it is required.
 * Now, it's been said before, it always bears repeating: Wikipedia is in direct competition with us by ignoring their actual project mission to produce an encyclopedia.
 * For those who care, this was my last attempt to get WP to follow their own policy. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:57, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Regarding the IRC log, perhaps sometimes it's difficult to recreate, just from reading the written record, what things felt like from the inside. (BTW, did you read the long form of the transcript, which hasn't yet been imported to the project page?)

 * Regarding Wikipedia's attitude toward us, it's taken me years to fully appreciate that they feel threatened by us. (The Wikipedian doth protest too much).  Seriously.  As I've remarked, a wiki needs an idealistic vision to spark the passion of volunteers.  We have our vision of free, neutral, reliable citizen journalism.  Part of their idealistic vision is that high-quality content can be evolved over time by treating everyone as if they are acting in good faith, and treating their contributions as if they have intrinsic merit.  They've got a profound emotional investment in that ideology (just as the idealistic vision of a wiki is supposed to induce), and so it's an existential threat to them that someone might notice the natural antagonism of both assumptions to high quality.  Many of them are in the denial stage over that, and many of those who move beyond denial lose their motive to stick around, so the denial is naturally selected for.  --Pi zero (talk) 14:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's an interesting way of putting it, and certainly seems believable. I had cause recently to look through Jimbo being invited into one of the Wikinews IRC channels to discuss his request/demand that I resign my privileges. He said he sympathised with our point of view regarding ITN but, conceded he could not force Wikipedians to follow their own project policies.
 * So, where do we go from here? I can't bear to deal with the wikilawyering of resurrecting those template changes unless there's going to be solid support from further afield than the Wikinews community. It would, as most people here know, not be a good idea if I raised the topic again. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think we need to stop trying to compete with/compare ourselves to Wikipedia all the time. It's very unlikely we'll ever push through those changes. They have their project, we have ours. Maybe they're not following their rules, but we shouldn't spend precious time trying to enforce their policies, let's instead spend that time looking after our own needs. Personally, I'd like to see a push for more OR/broadcast reportage. That would help us create our own clear identity, which we still lack, and which the project needs. Tempodivalse [talk]  16:16, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh. Although we may disagree, sometimes spectacularly, on how to move Wikinews forward, I agree that fixing Wikipedia's attitude toward us is not something we can do by anything we say to them.  When we become so successful that our success does the persuading for us, they'll come around.

 * Comparing/contrasting ourselves to Wikipedia is sometimes useful, because it provides broader perspective on the dynamics of wikis. Wikinews and Wikipedia are, roughly, at opposite ends of a spectrum of approaches to a wiki project, so there's a lot of potential insight there.  --Pi zero (talk) 17:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT I agree more OR would be better. I do try to do my part there ;-) However, that is very hard to do well. Broadcast reportage, I'm less keen on; it generally involves seeing events as-filtered by a broadcaster.

It is a huge insult to the work Wikinewsies do when you look at how some Wikimedians from other projects characterise synthesis work. I would rather not get into a pissing contest with Wikipedians, but there is a need to distinguish what we do from what they do.

Yes, there's the "visibility" issue which attracts people to contribute there. It does not in any way appeal to me; I might claim 'ownership' on an article, but in 10 years time how many of my words would be left? The people who contribute here are making a very important historical contribution, and it irks me to see that denigrated.

Pi, I very much doubt in the short-term (1-2 years) we're going to reach a success level that forces a rethink on their part. This is why I've been pushing for things like Prof Blackall's Journo students. I'd characterise that as an end-run around Wikipedia's viewpoint. If this is a success, and I can persuade the professor to write up the experience (hopefully for an academic publication) then it would be another move towards having people look at Wikinews in a fundamentally different manner. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree on likely timeframe. Getting something new under the sun to work superbly well is not for the impatient.  There's no magic switch one can flip to cause Wikinews to rapidly take off (although there is a self-destruct button).  Just as it takes time for individual Wikinewsies to climb the learning curve for the project, it takes even longer for the project to climb its own learning curve to success.

 * (BTW, likely the link you were looking for, a while back, was w:WP:ITN. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 18:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Sec Brk 2
Yeah, that's the linky :-)

So, if we go into what I've brought up:
 * Who has the template-fu to turn the Wikipedia article wizard into one suitable for here?
 * Can we recruit a couple of people from Wikiversity to monitor prof. Blackall's students and, as outside observers, point out our failings as well as those of the students? I don't want them totally mollycoddled; that won't happen in a real newsroom, they're in the final year of their degree course, and this is a real opportunity to put together a Wikiversity course on contributing here with a few to becoming a 'real' journalist.
 * As an unmentioned point, and going back to the 'pure synthesis' stuff; can we make reviewing that easier - it is, after all, what many younger contributors do well. Skills they pick up on that are useful in copyediting OR. What concerns me there, in the longer term, is an ability to write well with little real understanding of the context or repercussions. That is where the curmugeonly contributors come in.

Now, I don't think the 'workshops' should stop. Again, I think the name is wrong. The general idea isn't. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * What name would you propose instead? My initial idea was "Wikinews Discussions" but that sounded bland. BRS proposed the "workshop" idea. I'm curious, I still stand by my idea, I want to find ways to make it more productive. Tempodivalse [talk]  21:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll fall back on one of my tried-and-tested Systems Analysis axioms: What is the problem you're trying to solve? When you can answer that with confidence, the name will come easily.
 * Were you talking about orientation, and making n00bz productive, I'd support 'bootcamp'. However, this is far wider ranging. Maybe that's what we need to try? Assist new recruits, and steer away from project politics until they're suitably invested and oriented? Really, I don't know how best to progress; I loathe modern politicking which can be summed up as: "OMG! Something must be done! This is 'something', let's do it!" We need a more Trotskyist view: "What has to be done?" --Brian McNeil / talk 21:56, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a nobody's opinion, but what is needed is article production and review, in my opinion. When that happens readers and writers will come. See Portal:Current events. Look at the dates when there are no articles from wikinews. When new articles appear, the page hits increase. Is the point of this site to get readers like a real newspaper site? If so, articles should be produced on a daily basis, preferably ones that grab readers' attention. Neat, concise articles that don't wander like much news writing these days.  The other site's articles on the same subjects  are often unfocused and TLTR. I wish we would forget about them and concentrate on producing news.  Just a nobody's view and I fully realize that I don't get all the politics.  Mattisse (talk) 22:17, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. When our output goes up, more people notice us, and more of them write articles.  When our output goes down, we're less visible, and fewer articles get written.  Then there are factors that affect our ability to handle the work that is submitted take full advantage of the upward swings — like, things that affect our capacity to process submitted contributions (both from newcomers and from Wikinewsies), and things that affect our ability to communicate (both technically and socially, with both newcomers and other Wikinewsies).

 * My own short-term interest in Wikipedia is limited to the insights we can glean, through comparison/contrast of sister projects, into the general dynamics of wikis. --Pi zero (talk) 03:10, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * TBH, that third workshop was grossly unpleasant. I'm not sure I was actually less uncomfortable than the two prominent Wikinewsies (that we know of) who walked out; it may just be a difference in reaction.  I think I've already outlined my basic reasons for favoring discontinuing the whole IRC approach to the thing.  If a name change can actually change the nature of the beast, that will have been some name change.

 * Template fu? Somehow I'd thought the main technical challenge would be javascript.  I wasn't even aware there was a Wikipedia article wizard (if I'd ever known, I forgot), though, and I'm hoping to look into that tonight.  The last few days I've been slowly wrapping my head around certain facets of javascript configuration, which I think will serve me well in any event; templates per se don't scare me.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Sec Brk 3

 * I would recommend looking at the WP wizard for 'inspiration'; I suspect a similar tool could cut the number of unworkable submissions dramatically.
 * My issue with the workshops is: "What output is supposed to come from them?" That doesn't seem to be their point; they're a solution in search of a problem. So, exactly what purpose are they supposed to achieve? Pick no more than two goals; then you might see some progress. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:27, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * After that third IRC workshop, I'm finding it really easy to entertain cynical thoughts about the intended output — which just goes to show how negative atmosphere begets further negative thoughts.

 * An alternative proposal: Rather that IRC workshops, simply run project-infrastructure threads here, on the miscellaneous water cooler.  Timing is dead simple: when the last such thread gets archived, it's time to start another one, as that means it's been two weeks since there was activity on the previous thread.  It's on-wiki, it's unlikely to overheat (or at least the problem of keeping it cooled is nothing new), and it keeps the issues from dropping off radar.

--Pi zero (talk) 21:24, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * "wizard": a series of pages, each explaining-and-asking essentially one question. Can accommodate the wiki software, which does not support parameterizing initial content of a created page.
 * "form": a single page with multiple input boxes that are all used. Violates the aforementioned limitation of wiki software, with multiple input boxes parameterizing initial page content.  So presumably involves javascript
 * I had been envisioning a form, with first six boxes who, what, where, when, how, and why, somewhat limited space for each of those, and requiring what and when. The seventh box would be headline.  Other fields would be for sources and additional details.  The new page would be created containing a template with named fields containing the data from the form input boxes — and from there, one could request a Wikinewsie to develop the data into an article, or one could use something more wizard-like for do-it-yourself development.

Updated transcript
I upgraded the transcript at WN:IRC workshop/April 24, 2011 to include the later hour and a half or so that hadn't been included there. --Pi zero (talk) 16:00, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Sue Gardner hotlinks Wikinews
You may have already discussed this, but if not: "Typically what we try to do is develop features that will be relevant to many languages and possibly multiple projects. Sometimes we roll them out on a smaller project first, like the strategy wiki, or projects like Wikinews or Wikibooks, and then later release on enWP and other large projects."

Sensationalism vs the ease of on-the-spot reporting
I'm keen to highlight Water main bursts in west Edinburgh; traffic, utilities disrupted as an example of two things.

First, that the initially submitted version would lead one to believe that 30-odd square miles had been flooded, and near half-a-million people evacuated.

Unacceptable sensationalism. Wikinews must avoid such to retain credibility.

Second, and a far, far more positive note; how easy it was to carry out some Original Reporting in relation to this story.

Equipped only with a mobile phone, I visited the scene, took the photos you see on the article, and emailed them in. Back down on the nearby main road, I merely had to say to a Domino's Pizza employee "bet you'd fun with the bust water main this morning" to get far more information than any of the sources had given.

On the basis of this second point, how can we hold this up as an example of how easy it can be to contribute original material to Wikinews? I'm going to ask DragonFire1024 to give input on this too; he's done a lot of on-the-scene stuff in New York State. I am aware that writing good copy is likely 70%+ of the battle. But, for Wikinews to thrive I strongly believe it has to be through most content having an original reporting angle. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:50, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Good call. I didn't get to do OR myself. Probably linking to OR category somewhere at the top of newsroom would help to have more people aware of how it works. --Gryllida ( % talk ) 13:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking more along the lines of pulling in anecdotes, and experience, from those on-project who've done OR and putting together an essay to compliment WN:ARTICLE – say, Look mom! I'm a reporter! Yes, I'd use that title; it'd provoke people into reading, and the ease with which I managed to cover a local story has to be an inviting prospect for potential contributors.

 * The point of view I'm looking at this from, based on this article, is that we've mainstream sources that a contributor anywhere on the planet could build an article framework with. But, add some on-the-spot reportage (with images which act as proof of such) and you've something which becomes a lot easier to review.

 * Hopefully DragonFire1024 will get the couple messages I've sent him and chip in here. It'd also be good to have comments from those who've recently been doing the lion's share of the reviewing – how much easier would OR photos make their job? --Brian McNeil / talk 14:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I'll inject some pessimism here. I learn about Wikinews largely by hanging around a long time and slowly picking up on how things work; and I've never been entirely comfortable with how OR interacts with reputation and trust.

 * If OR is easier to review, wouldn't that be fundamentally because there's less that can be done to verify it? And our OR has been reliable because by the time Wikinewsies advance to OR they've already established a reputation with the community, doing synthesis?  So either
 * we take our OR from contributors who've already earned our trust, and who therefore have already survived the dual frustration/learning-curve filters of publishing a first article here and persisting to become a regular —in which case, OR may add value to contributions by regular Wikinewsies but won't greatly increase our output or contributor base— or else
 * we accept OR without previously established reputation, and sooner or later we end up publishing completely fake OR.
 * --Pi zero (talk) 16:10, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * /me quaffs Pi zero's half-empty glass.

 * You missed the point. Completely and utterly.

 * I submitted pictures with, I hope, GPS data embedded in them.

 * What can I say? "The beatings will continue until morale improves". --Brian McNeil / talk 21:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * The ideal outcomes from my cautionary (not to say gloomy :-) remark would be (a) for my point not to be missed, and  (b) for a response to further clarify the main point of the preceding thread as it relates to my caution.  On careful analysis, both (a) and (b) are at least somewhat implicit in the above response; so while I may disagree with the 'completely and utterly' charge, it actually contributes to (b) and thus I can't altogether resent it.

 * Having made my cautionary remark, I'd myself quite like to read Look mom! I'm a reporter!. --Pi zero (talk) 06:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jkemp. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jkemp~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.

Atlanta Thrashers sold to True North Sports and Entertainment, moving to Winnipeg

June 2, 2011

Fifteen years after the left the province of Manitoba, Canada, an announcement on Tuesday made official what ice hockey fans have been anticipating: The 's (NHL)  are moving to. The Thrashers, who have been a target for relocation rumors amid the ownership struggles and financial losses, will leave Atlanta after eleven seasons there in the highest-level professional ice hockey league in North America. The deal, which was finalized early in the morning Tuesday, has just one step to climb: a vote by the NHL's Board of Governors, which will take up the matter at their June 21 meeting.

. (ASG), who owned the Thrashers—and continues to own both the of the National Basketball Association, as well as, the arena both teams occupied—completed the sale to Winnipeg investor group True North Sports & Entertainment Ltd. The Thrashers will move into their new home arena,  in Winnipeg. ASG has also been trying to find buyers for the Atlanta Hawks as well as Philips Arena. NHL Commissioner, who also presided over the league when the Jets left Winnipeg in 1996, has stated the Thrashers will remain in the Southeast Division for at least the 2011-12 season, after which time the NHL is expected to shuffle teams between the Western and Eastern conferences to move the Thrashers to the West, to play with other teams in western North America. The two teams situated in the Western Conference which reside in the Eastern Time Zone, the and, as well as the  are considered favorites to be moved into the Eastern Conference when this happens.

The city of Winnipeg, which has been ready and waiting for an NHL franchise since the Jets relocated to, Arizona and became the in 1996, is already host to a team in the second-tier , the. During the announcement Tuesday, True North stated that they were starting a season ticket drive. They also announced that they have yet to choose a name for the new team.

The Thrashers are not the first franchise that True North has set its sights on in regards to acquiring an NHL team. The Coyotes, which have been owned by the league since the previous owners filed for bankruptcy in 2009, was highly sought-after by True North in the past few years in an attempt to literally "return the Jets to Winnipeg". In early May, the Glendale City Council approved a measure to pay $25 million to the league, to cover their operating expenses for the next year in order to keep the team in the city.

This is not the first time an NHL franchise has been relocated north of the border from the #8-ranked media market in the United States; in 1980, the moved to, Alberta, becoming the. Atlanta was later granted an expansion franchise in 1997, and the Thrashers took the ice to start the 1999-00 NHL season. In the 11 seasons the Thrashers spent in Atlanta, they made the playoffs only once; in the 2006-07 season, they reached the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, where they were swept in the best-of-seven series by the in four straight games.

Content guide doesn't prohibit the more localized news, though. And qualified editor has already looked at the article and approved it, so Wikinews seems to think it's ok... :/

But then again, the "Content Guide" does say that the significance of local news needs to be explained more fully to the international audience that Wikinews writes for. Perhaps I didn't do that quite well enough :(

Thread:Comments:Obama supports Middle East protesters in speech/Comments from feedback form - "I support Obama,as well as sup..."/reply (2)

Obama said he would react to the uprising in the region "in a way that advances our values and strengthens our security."

That sounds bloody hostile if you ask me. The majority of Middle Easterners have made it very clear that they fear the U.S., and would like to see the aggressive foreign occupation completely disappear from the region. This includes Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, and so on and so forth. What business is it of the U.S. to police the goddamn world? They routinely violate UN mandates, veto resolutions, block democracy and human development at every turn, and enthusiastically throw all their weight behind right-wing fascist dictators who pander to the empire's wants and needs. Democracy be damned. The U.S. has more military power then every other country combined, spends more then every other country combined, has a military budget larger then the entire budget of Australia, has more military bases around the world then any other state, and is the only country on record to be condemned by the World Court for "unlawful use of violence". Anyone who thinks that Obama is even remotely on the "left" or a "liberal" in any way, shape or form really needs to do their research or get their head examined. In many respects he is far worse then Bush II and Cheney ever were, but he formulates his policies in euphonic, soothing prose which lulls his audience into a calm serotonin bliss and numbs their critical faculties, allowing any-and-all data to evade even the most well-refined bullshit detectors. He, Bush and Cheney deserve to be tried in the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity in my honest-to-God opinion. Obama deserves a special dose of contempt for his arrogant and indifferent use of drones in Pakistan, which only have a success rate of 2% (the other 98% being innocent civilian casualties). In reality, Obama is markedly ambivalent about democracy, and will only accept its continuation if the elected representatives serve the interests of the wealthy oligarchs represented by Obama and Co. Obama has blackened the word "change" the way Reagan blackened the term "welfare". The U.S. needs a second political group that has the financial means, professionalism and capacity to stand up and challenge the obsequious Business Party (comprised of the Democrat and Republican caucuses) for presidency next election. Where are the Cynthia McKinneys, the Dennis Kuciniches, the Feingolds, the Bernie Sanders' and the Ralph Naders? These are the politicians of the USA willing to speak out against bloated corporate welfare, short-sighted destructive economic policies and the rampant corruption, arrogance and jingoism in the U.S. Senate and house of Representatives. Naturally, Big Business is repulsed by their democratic populist attitudes, so they get little funding and hence get little votes come Election Day (which really snaps into reality the business-run nature of American society).

Just as a random reminder, only cite the sources you use. :) If you are using more than three, I encourage hidden inline comments that tell the reviewer which source to check for which fact. :) It just speeds up the review time. :) Glad to see more African related articles.  Keep up the good work. :) --LauraHale (talk) 21:38, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Philippines maintains economic growth in Q2 of 2012

 * Sources overkill

I know you didn't start this one, but it's a bit source-heavy for such a short article. Tom has already pointed out that some details may be in a source that requires registration—generally reviewers shouldn't have to give out their details to a 3rd party.

If you can cull out unneeded sources, I'll try and review it later on. At the moment the number of sources is what I'd expect on an article 2-3 times as long. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:22, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Added that in Preferences, but don't see any new GUI, no links or alerts or anything. How do I use this gadget? Gryllida 23:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It needs to be moved to ResourceLoader. I'd do that myself but I have no rights. Jkmartindale (talk) 09:42, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you mean simply that it needs to have the ResourceLoader property listed in gadgets definitions, or is something more required? (I admit I'm very cynical about RL; but if it's the game that must be played, so be it.)  --Pi zero (talk) 11:36, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You called my bluff, I actually don't know (all I know about ResourceLoader I learned today while trying to take my favorite gadgets from Wikimedia sites into my global.js file). The reason I think you need to use ResourceLoader is because Special:Gadgets is whining about it. James Martindale (talk) 11:40, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * A while ago we were told no gadget would be loaded unless it uses RL. I was told by a guru, though, that in practice all one usually had to do was to tell the gadgets extension the gadget uses RL.  I note, though, that most of the javascript automation on en.wn now practically never loads on the first try; reloading a page once or twice is needed to get it all to work, which is why most gadgets now have a try block around them, which I'd tried in the apparently vain hope that it would containerize the failure of some gadgets so they wouldn't wreck others.  I gather this is all thanks to the "improvements" being made to the platform.  So I figure mostly what we need here is to eliminate our old js until there's nothing left of it — mostly I'd hope to migrate things to use wikidialog, which I've designed to be as robust as I could make it against changes to the platform (though there are always limits to what I can do; at some point I find I just have to hope WMF architectural decisions won't exceed some threshold of ill-conceivedness, which really isn't a sound assumption).  --Pi zero (talk) 12:02, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

User:Polly691/Men denied anti-cancer vaccine

Males have been denied inclusion in the Australian Federal Government's national immunisation program to prevent cervical cancer.

The drug is administered to prevent four strains of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) that cause genital warts and pre-cancerous lesions in both men and women. A 2008 Government study revealed Gardasil stopped HPV-related genital warts in 90 per cent of cases.

HPV infections do not just effect women, but can induce penile, anal and oral cancers in men. Homosexual males are also at high risk of contracting the disease, passing the infection from men to men. Gardasil vaccine has proven to be highly effective in immunising against genital warts and preventing male cancers.

Immunising males and females would have the greatest impact on the HPV disease, a CSL spokesperson has stated.

CSL continues to fight to make the vaccine available to men.

User:Polly691/Rothschild Bank initiates farmers carbon trading

Rothschild Australia, one of the leading Asia-Pacific investment banks, has developed a scheme that initiates trading in carbon credits, pre-empting the Gillard government's merge into a carbon economy. The joint venture with E3 International will provide the oppurtunity for multinational companies to purchase carbon credits in order to offset their own green house gas emissions.

The EU emissions trading scheme, announced in 2005 was hailed the beginning of the fight against climate change, that anticipated the world to follow suit. Six years later, March 2011, discussion has deemed the scheme a failure in reducing emissions, inducing fraud and profiteering, thus in urgent need for reform. In the last few months 50 million euros have been stolen in allowances due to hacking and security failures. An Australian ETS would need to ensure security and integrity in its application.

The Carbon Ring Consortium instructs businesses how to deal with a carbon economy, in buying and selling of carbon. The protocol would benefit the Australian agricultural sector where farmers owning vast amounts of trees could sell carbon credits and would enhance the incentive for environmental sustainability.

Rothschild's groundbreaking action parallels recent developments internationally and in Australian climate change policy, devising a way to legally deal with carbon as a commodity. Rothschild's framework for carbon trading remains one of few initiatives by Australian companies in developing a value for carbon, “the question is no longer if, but when the global carbon trading market will emerge,” - Rothschild CEO, Richard Martin.

If Australia is to follow Europe's lead the scheme must cater to the nations specific market and incorporate external factors such as economic change over time & the recession, as the European ETS failed to do so.

Australia questions involvement in War in Afghanistan after death of two soldiers

June 3, 2011

On Monday night, two Australian soldiers serving in Afghanistan died in separate incidents. This brings the total death toll to 26 for Australians fighting in the 'war against terrorism'. These events have sparked renewed debates about the role Australians play in this region. Greens leader has called for the return of all troops by the end of this year.

Lieutenant Marcus Case (27) died in a Chinook helicopter crash at the Tarin Kwot base in the Zabul Province. Any connection to the Taliban in this incident has been ruled out by Australian defence force officials.

Lance-Corporal Andrew Gordon Jones (25) was shot down by a man who has been described as a “rogue Afghan officer”. Defence Chief, Angus Houston, has confirmed that this man is now the subject of an extensive man-hunt.

The Australian media have questioned if the soldiers are making any difference, when Lance-Corporal Jones died at the hands of someone he was supposed to be mentoring. Prime Minster Julia Gillard stated that Australian soldiers still play a vital role in training hundreds of members of the Afghan Fourth Brigade and does not believe their job has been completed yet.

Australia joined the ‘war on terrorism’ as part of the US led Operation Enduring Freedom. The US, Australia, and New Zealand pledged their alliance of mutual defence when the ANZUS treaty was enacted in 1952. When the United States invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, it was the first time it was invoked. Australia currently has around 1,500 defence personnel in Afghanistan as part of Operation Slipper.

Space Shuttle Endeavour enters history books after nineteen years following penultimate landing of program

June 4, 2011

landed for the final time at 2:34 a.m. (0534 ) at, Florida, U.S. Wednesday, marking the end of its nineteen-year operational career. The mission,, is the penultimate of the NASA ; is scheduled to fly the final mission in July.

The commander of the mission, Mark Kelly, paid tribute to the spaceship shortly after touchdown, saying, "It's sad to see her land for the last time, but she really has a great legacy." Endeavour launched earlier this month on a mission to carry the (AMS) and several spare parts to the International Space Station (ISS). The AMS will enable scientists to examine and learn more about the history of the.

The six-member crew of STS-134 consists of commander Mark Kelly, pilot, and mission specialists , , , and. European Space Agency's Vittori is scheduled to be the last non-American to fly aboard the Shuttle.

Kelly is the husband of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded during a January shooting in Tucson, Arizona. Giffords watched the launch from the Kennedy Space Center on May 16, but was asleep in a hospital during the early morning landing, according to Kelly.

The end of the shuttle program comes after NASA opted to phase out the aging fleet, which has been in use since 1981, due to financial problems with maintaining the crafts. According to, NASA thinks that allowing private businesses to win space transportation contracts will generate enough revenue to pay for sending astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

In a statement,, said, "We are very proud of Endeavour's legacy, and this penultimate flight of the space shuttle program once again demonstrated the amazing skill and dedication of our astronauts and the entire workforce." He stated that as NASA "begin[s] the transition from the shuttle program to the commercial transportation of [its] crews and cargo, [its] ability to tackle big challenges remains steadfast and will ensure that NASA reaches even more destinations farther in the Solar System."

Space Shuttle Endeavour began service after the  shortly after lifting off in 1986; all seven astronauts aboard died as a result of the disaster. Endeavour launched on its maiden flight,, in May 1992. During her career, Endeavour has orbited the planet 4,671 times, spent 299 days in space, and transported a total of 170 astronauts. The vehicle has traveled a total distance longer than 197.6 million kilometres (122.8 million miles). While in space, NASA's Michael Fincke set a space endurance record, spending the longest total time of any American in space at 382 days. STS-134 was Fincke's third spaceflight and first on the Space Shuttle. The spaceflight was the 25th and final flight of Endeavour, as well as the 134th and second-to-last of the entire.

During the crew's stay at the ISS, the crew completed the final four scheduled to be performed by Space Shuttle crews. During these spacewalks, the crew installed components to the exterior of the station. Space Shuttle crews performed a total of 164 spacewalks, 159 of which contributed to the maintenance and completion of the International Space Station. Preparations are currently underway for Endeavour to go on public display in Los Angeles, California.

The final mission in the Space Shuttle program,, is scheduled to launch on July 8.


text:
Talk:Space Shuttle Endeavour completes final mission

The information about Fincke achieving his childhood dream of flying aboard the shuttle came from the post-landing crew news conference, which was aired live on at about 8:30 AM EDT. This information came from his answer to a request to comment on his first spaceflight aboard the Space Shuttle from a member of the press. The information about Rep. Giffords sleeping through the landing in the hospital came from Kelly's answer to a question from the press during the same news conference. Tyrol5 (talk) 13:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm more surprised that they just spent $81m on a new library. It is a private university, I suppose, and since it's run like a corporation it shouldn't have any trouble with funds... unlike public libraries, which are closing all over the country. Do they open their membership to the public?

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

Talk:Space Shuttle Endeavour enters history books after nineteen years following penultimate landing of program

Broadcast report
Tyrol5 has stated:

The information about Fincke achieving his childhood dream of flying aboard the shuttle came from the post-landing crew news conference, which was aired live on at about 8:30 AM EDT. This information came from his answer to a request to comment on his first spaceflight aboard the Space Shuttle from a member of the press. The information about Rep. Giffords sleeping through the landing in the hospital came from Kelly's answer to a question from the press during the same news conference. Tyrol5 (talk) 13:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

June 3, 2011

A man claiming to have attached a bomb to his body has been arrested after a stand-off with police officers in a town in, England. Police were notified of the incident at the on Market Street,  at approximately 1020  (0920 ) Thursday.

A number of armed officers attended. Noises resembling bangs were heard at approximately 1320 BST (1220 UTC); the male suspect was placed under arrest at about 1345 BST (1245 UTC), just over three hours after the incident began. According to a spokeswoman for the police, "[a]n explosive device of some kind - as yet we don't know what this is - has been removed from this individual." Much of the town centre was sealed off during this incident.

According to a statement from : "Safety of members of the public was paramount and a cordon was put in place and people were evacuated from nearby premises. There will be police activity in the town centre for a while to come. Understandably this caused concern within the community and we would like to thank members of the public for their co-operation in this matter."

The spokeswoman has reported that the alleged criminal "has been arrested and will be taken to police custody for interview" and that "[i]nvestigations into the nature of this device will continue".

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 JB123. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JB123~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 23:19, 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. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:32, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

User:JB123~enwikinews

My name is Jake Britner, and I live in Audenshaw, Manchester. (UK) I am extremely intrested in news and current affairs; I enjoy the atmosphere in the room when someone breaks news. I believe in making my Bold text''own reports and not copying from other news-sources. This is for two reasons. Of course, number one, copyright reasons, and number two, I enjoy giving people my point of the days news, (by the way, I am not biased!) I intend to make several reports that will give your ground-breaking analysis of the event, and give you the inside story of what happened. Keep watch for my reports!

LulzSec claims Sony network hack

June 3, 2011 A group of Internet hackers, which refers to itself as Lulz Security or LulzSec, has claimed to have broken into servers for Sony entertainment websites and stolen in excess of one million items of personal details, including email addresses and passwords. Seventy-five thousand "music codes" and three-and-a-half million "music coupons" were also alleged broken into, according to a statement on their website.

In a statement, LulzSec reported that, "[f]rom a single injection, we accessed EVERYTHING" []. Claiming that Sony had not encrypted data which they allegedly gained access to and "were asking for it", the group questioned: "Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?" spokesperson Jim Kennedy has stated that the corporation is "looking into these claims".

This incident is reminiscent of an occasion when the data of over 77 million accounts on the were unlawfully taken by hackers in April 2011. The thefts prompted Sony to close the network, as well as other features, for nearly one month. According to, the attack is thought to be the largest in the history of the Internet.

Gay couple elected prom king and queen in Maine's Sanford High School

June 3, 2011

Although prom may have taken place over two weeks ago at Maine's, the fact that students elected a gay couple as king and queen remains the talk of the local community.

During the May 14 event, 17-year-old Christian Nelsen was named prom queen, running as a write-in candidate. One of Nelsen's friends, Holly Smith, spoke of the help they provided in getting him elected: "The day of prom, we went downstairs, and he was yelling 'Vote for Christian Nelsen!' And I was helping people spell his name, or telling them how to write it on the ballot".

Nelsen's boyfriend, Caleb Jett, was elected prom king. "I kinda got voted in because he got queen, and it was like 'Who do we vote for king?' and it was like 'Oh, well, his boyfriend, obviously, because that makes sense,'" he said. The two young men wore suits, shirts, and ties to the prom. When the results of the election were announced, they danced the king-queen dance together, Jett wearing his crown and Nelsen his tiara.

Maine is one of only two states in that have not recognized. Though they are aware that not everyone supports them, the couple ran to combat high school stereotypes and to encourage more tolerance. Nelsen commented, "It doesn't matter if it's a guy or a girl who wins prom king or prom queen from now on. Anyone can win, and on that same notion any type of person can win. And I'm talking about the tolerance level of all people when I talk about that, so anyone who is bullied or even just under the radar can win this type of thing."

of a of the   Diane Wendorf supported the couple, citing her church's values of tolerance and diversity. "I'm glad, too, that they were crowned king and queen, because there are all different kinds of people in this world." Some Sanford residents a local news agency interviewed did not approve of the gay couple's crowning, though none agreed to go on camera — out of concerns that their comments might offend someone.

The matter is expected to be brought up by interested citizens at an upcoming school committee meeting. Committee Chair Mark Lucier stated that the school is gathering information on the election, and that the committee may decide if it needs to address the future selection of prom kings and queens.
