Talk:Wikinews switches to Creative Commons license

Research notes
And now, the notes I took from pages at Meta to help me write this article. Messedrocker 00:47, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Article: Wikinews switches to Creative Commons license

 * License chosen: Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 (CC-BY 2.5)
 * 31 people in favor - majority
 * 27 of those Wikinewsies
 * Other options: Proprietary licenses, GFDL, Creative Commons Sharealike, BSD, Combinations
 * Vote held until September 25, 2005

 * Public domain not good option
 * Doesn't exist in some countries
 * Could lead to plagiarism
 * Public domain could be good choice though
 * Just plain free

I read the Creative Commons license...
...clueless what it all means. -Edbrown05 02:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Public domain
Surely any public statement from any government (not only the US government!) is public domain? Then there are organisations (political parties, campaign groups, thinktanks etc.) who exist in order to engage in public debate - aren't their statements often or always "public domain"? I don't have any issue with the Creative Commons Licence but I'm concerned that we don't overly constrain what can and can not be considered a "public domain" source for Wikinews stories. Rcameronw

 * I'm not sure, but it is US law that US government works are PD. The law doesn't apply to state, county, or municipal works, but if said governments want to make their things PD, then that's their prerogative. However, works of the federal government are definitely in the public domain. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 17:14, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The US government (state and federal) is one of the few that releases things into the public domain. In almost all of the other cases you listed the information would be usable under fair use, or because permission has been granted, but it is not public domain. --Cspurrier 15:04, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

I personally dislike the decision
I love public domain, and I've considered Wikipedia as a main storefront for what public domain can be. Public domain means that the content is owned by everyone, or anyone, without regards to birth, age, national origin, race, color, height, sexual orientation, religious conviction, or being part of any select group of people. If you happen to be born, if you simply happen to exist, if you're simply a human being, then you have full right to own and acquire a copy of the content yourself without having to attribute consideration, without having to compensate anyone or anything in exchange. In a sense, access to public domain is an inalienable right, at least as long as there is such a thing as public domain. This attempt to introduce Creative Commons whereever Public Domain exists smells like a first step in subverting and completely eliminating public domain itself. In a sense, the use of the ambiguous term Commons instead of very clear term Public is a step in the way of limiting who gets to own. Though the term commons technically means no owner, it's use has generally meant that the owners are the commoners as opposed to the public, the owners are a subset of the public. Note, that unlike limited resources, information cannot suffer from the tragedy of the commons due to overuse, overconsumption, or overexploitation of a limited common resource. Unlike matter, energy, food, parking spots, land, unlike these other things, information has no natural bounds, no limits, no conservation laws. Do not erect artificial limits and barriers unless they are truly needed, and won't significantly damage the value of free access to human knowledge. For one, you, as part of the public, could miss out on the value provided to you, by self educated guys like Faraday, who were self-taught, who stole their information because they were unable to pay for it. Come on, would you like to posthumously convict Faraday for being an intellectual property thief, perhaps even make him wear a pirate-eye-patch? Just how much benefit have we all derived from his vice? There are always two sides to every story, and don't be too overconfident in either stance you take.

The issue with public domain as opposed to private domain is that whoever contributes has less incentive to contribute, because they have no way to draw enough reciprocal benefit, or consideration from it, they don't get enough from the bargaining exchange. In a sense, public domain has been a utopia, that has been surviving too well in real life to be a utopia at all. Thus, according to this point of view, utopias are unsupportable, and wikipedia could become of even higher quality "web service" if its contributors were properly compensated for their effort, because their incentive to contribute would increase, even if it were in form of micropayments.

However, the above stance forgets that there are already plenty of commercial or advertising supported encyclopedias around, with limited access in regards to who is allowed to contribute, and if people flock to wikipedia because it's low cost to them, i.e. free, even if lower quality(disputable) than such commercial encyclopedias, then let them exercise their free will, please. As far as quality is concerned, I find wikipedia to be high quality considering it's done freely, simply out of the goodwill of the contributors. Their compensation is derived in a kind of a social contract - you give a little bit, and you gain a lot in exchange from everybody else giving a little bit. Anybody with a sane mind only contributes realizing the benefit they derive from the quality content, and wishes to donate back in return. Introduce some micropayment system, and the charlatans and money making schemers will suddenly show up, showing you how you can make a million dollars out of 1 cent micropayments, and there goes the public-self-interest-quality succumbing under the pressure of the private-self-interest driven crap you see in email-spam. I find uncompensated emails in my inbox that I received for free, from peers, to be much higher quality than micropayment motivated emails. Sure, I'd love to get paid for my contributions, who wouldn't, but I wouldn't want to pay for access in the first place. And with free access, you can still find me contributing here and there anyway. Also, I derive benefit also from others educating themselves, because chances are they will become more knowledgeable and thus more sensitive to issues affecting other people. A well educated and cultured person has a smaller chance of assaulting and mugging me in a dark alley, however minute the difference education may make, it still does make a difference. I want to live in an well educated society, I consider it a benefit.

I also love wikipedia, because, in a sense, I get to own it myself, and when I see something that could be fixed, I am free to fix it, it's not forbidden. I love being free, and love to be a wikipedia-owner without regards to my birth, age, national origin, race, color, height, sexual orientation, religious conviction, or being part of any select group of people.

The majority of "wealth" or "value" in wikipedia is the content itself, and the current way or reimbursing each other is by contributing content back. Of course this does not provide for hardware to host the wiki pages, nor the network costs, which still require cold cash to be reimbursed in. But I fear if you make wikipedia into a subscription only site, people won't visit it in the first place, therefore they won't ever find themselves urged to contribute, and there goes wikipedia fading into oblivion. Be very careful with this, before you completely squat, choke and destroy such gems as wikipedia.

P.S. After reading the commons page, after looking at the bottom of that page, I realize just how much wikipedia is a system that requires management, to ensure responsibility of users, whether this happens naturally by the other users, the "contingent cooperators" undoing wrongdoings, as I see it happen now - even myself have contributed -, or via some unfortunate central authoritative model, that sanctions users, something that still might be necessary as a last resort if things go too haywire. However, this "commons" concept only applies to the contributions part, to the freedom of expresion part, and not to the consumption part, which anyone should be allowed to do, unless the physical layer such as network bandwidth limits are pushed. Wikipedia is still a reading-intensive site, where a low-bandwidth text is loaded, and one spends quite some time reading through it, digesting it, though a picture is worth a thousand words, so pictures are provided too. If it were by nature, say, a motion picture distribution site, then bandwidth physical limits pitted against free public domain might automatically become a forefront issue. But currently as it is, the wikipedia content should be provided to you as public domain, you're free to do anything you can do with public domain, go ahead, consume, however, the contribution system, now that's a common, where you are required to behave. Content is provided to you under a public domain license, but the contribution system is under a commons-law. The preceding unsigned comment was written by Sillybilly at 17:11, 25 September 2005.
 * um, did you even read the content of the licence? This isn't about the names of PD vs. CC, it's about the legalese behind it. CC and GPDL are designed so that the content remains free and isn't ripped off by the big boys. Without GFDL or CC, we could be working for Microsoft or Britannica and never know. The "tragedy of the commons" is strictly speaking the "tragedy of PD", and CC and GFDL are designed to avert that very tragedy.

GFDL incompatible?
Does this now mean wikinews cannot include wikipedia content? --216.229.237.115 14:55, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes. The GFDL requires derivative works to be copyleft aswell, the CC-BY does not. --Deprifry | +T+ 15:05, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

 * It also means that a Wikinews article can no longer become a Wikipedia article. Good thing my New Orleans civil engineering article was created while it was still under PD so it could be transferred.  (SEWilco 15:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC))

 * Actually the CC-BY license is one-way-compatible with the GFDL since it only requires attribution, which is guaranteed by the GFDL. So copying Wikinews content to Wikipedia is still possible. --Deprifry | +T+ 15:42, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Precisely even before switching Wikipedia article cannot be included into Wikinews as is because of GFDL restriction - if you release something under GFDL, it should be redistributed as GFDL-licenced. Of course, those materials from Wikipedia can be used as quotation (fair use). You can start a Wikipedia article by copying any Wikinews article. Have fun. --Aphaia 13:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

The last sentence doesn't make any sense
The last line is currently "Other contributors preferred a public domain license as it could be seen as copyleft without needing licenses."

There is no "public domain license" - the public domain is free from copyrights, so a license cannot have an effect. And what is meant by "copyleft without needing a license"? Public domain can never be copyleft: Copyleft depends on copyright. The person who wrote that sentence either doesn't understand copyright, copyleft, or public domain or they were working too late and made a slip.

I wasn't involved in the license debate, so I can't provide a better sentence, but I'll remove the current sentnece (quoted above) since its quality/meaninglessness/confusion just makes Wikinews look bad. 85.28.66.218 12:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree (and it's my sentence). It's been a long week, yerhonour. I was trying to keep as much of the original as possible since I also wasn't involved, but wanted to tidy up. --Iain 01:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

How can a wiki not have a share-alike license?
I don't understand how any wiki could use a license that does not require contributions to be licensed under the same terms. How would one even know whether it is permissible to edit an article under the CC Attribution 2.5 license?
 * I do note understand the decision either.--Kozuch (talk) 06:39, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Then, might I suggest clicking the icon for the license and reading it. CC licenses are not written in painful legalese. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If you mean creativecommons.org links - these do not tell us why Wikinews do this.--Kozuch (talk) 18:57, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Template talk:Original reporting

Proposed major change
I think that the template for indicating original reporting should be completely changed. When you go to the New York Times and look at an article they wrote themselves, do you see a bulbous template that proclaims "WE WROTE THIS ARTICLE OURSELVES!"? I think not. That's why it should be changed.

My idea is that the Original Reporting template should be made similar to the source template. Perhaps it could turn into:

''This article features original reporting. See the talk page for more details.''

That way, it is more similar to the sources template, and, in my opinion, less annoying. It would also be similar to what other media outlets do. Tell me what you think.

-- Messedrocker 01:23, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree. The 'Original reporting' template was created to explain a story that is conributed without sources to support the reporting. Although the inspiration for the template still has merit, it now seems fat and intrusive. Something less conspicuous is in order in my opinion.-Edbrown05 02:36, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Some agreement. The purpose of the template is to provide linkage to the original reporting notes, and to highlight original reporting. Smaller might be better; but also positioning. Perhaps a box akin to the Template:wikipediapar at the top right of the sources section? - Amgine/talk 00:22, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * That's an even better idea! It would definitely be the best way of pointing out original reporting. The template could be placed inline with the text, at the bottom of the entry. How does that sound? —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 00:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Proposed change
Here is the proposed template change, along with some Lorem Ipsum. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 00:46, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec blandit, augue a vehicula sodales, nulla nulla scelerisque dolor, sed accumsan dui libero et mi. Vestibulum tincidunt lorem vel risus.

Changed "member" to "member or members."
I changed "member" to "member or members," because I translated from the French Wikinews an article which I suspect may have more than one author, but "member" presumes there's only one. —67.21.48.122 20:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

UK mobile provider begins TV-on-phone trial

September 25, 2005

Mobile phone provider O2 (O2) in partnership with Nokia and Arqiva began a trial of a new service that allows customers to watch broadcast TV on their mobile phone. The trial began on Thursday in Oxford. Four hundred O2 customers have been selected to participate. According to O2 the trial represents a balanced selection of the population.

Participants have been supplied with Nokia 7710 smartphones, that can receive 16 channels. The trial service currently carries BBC ONE, BBC TWO, BBC News 24, ITV 1, ITV 2, Channel 4 and 5, Eurosport, Cartoon Network, CNN, Discovery Channel, MTV, ShortsTV, Sky News, Sky Sports News and Sky Travel.

TV shows are transmitted using a technology called Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds (DVB-H). It requires a special receiver to be connected to the mobile phone. Nokia has said they plan to build support for the DVB-H technology into future Nokia phones. Using DVB-H the phones will get about eight hours per charge, this is because the DVB-H uses the "time slicing" technology.

Many other UK providers have offered mobile TV on cellphones, however this is the first to offer regular full length TV shows. Most other providers use the 3G video-streaming technology. "3G is perfect for two-minute video clips. But, if you're watching a 90-minute football game, we think DVB-H is the most suitable," said Dave Williams, O2's chief technical officer

Customers can use an onscreen programme to select programmes they wish to watch and it will alert them when the show starts.

In South Korea many mobile phone companies already offer television on mobile phones using a system called digital mobile broadcast. In the US a recent survey by InStat, found few Americans are interested in mobile TV. Canadian company Telus also recently began to offer mobile TV services.

"By establishing relationships through activities such as this, we hope that potential challenges will be minimized and mobile TV becomes a commercial reality sooner than is currently possible," said Dave Williams, O2's chief technical officer

Brazilian football referee admits he frauduently refereed games

September 27, 2005

The Brazilian football referee was detained by the  on Saturday in, a city 78 kilometers from. According to the Public Prosecution Service, he refereed games in a partial manner so that only predetermined teams could win.

The businessman Nagib Fayad was also detained in São Paulo. Both are suspected of being part of a group suspected of manipulating games in order to profit through million dollar bets on sport bettings websites.

Brazilian prosecutor Roberto Porto said that investigators have 20 thousand hours of taped phone conversations back to October 2004 and that they have no doubt that Carvalho was fraudulently refereeing football games.

According to the spokeman of the Federal Police, Victor Hugo Rodrigues Alves, a referee would be contacted by phone by Fayad who would inform the referee which team should win the game. Fayad would then place the bets on Internet websites. Part of the profit would be given to the referee. Rodrigues claimed that additional people were involved.

On Saturday the referee told Federal Police that he favored various football teams while he administered games during the, , and the.

Switzerland citizens vote on extending freedom rights from 15 to 25 European countries

September 25, 2005 Switzerland is voting today on their quarterly federal referenda, this referendum is over on whether the rights on the freedom of circulation of people such be extended from the former fifteen member states to the current twenty-five members of the European Union.

Supporters say that if people vote no, the rest of the bilateral accords could become invalid by the European Union, such as freedom of movement and freedom of trade. They say that the recent vote on Schengen/Dublin will also become invalided.

Opponents said it might cause wage-dumping, potentially leading to lower wages, and make the unemployment rate higher, which at the moment is at 3.6% (which is high by Swiss standards). Out of the big 4 main parties, the centre-left Social Democrats, the liberal-right Free Democrats and the centre-right Christian Democrats have said yes to the proposals. However, the populist-right Swiss People's Party have said no to the proposal. Many businesses are for a yes vote.

Results are now available:

Hasegawa retains Bantamweight title

September 25, 2005

Hozumi Hasegawa (長谷川穂積), record 18 Wins - 2 Losses, fought Gerardo Martinez, 27 Wins - 5 Losses - 2 Draws, for the WBC Bantamweight Title Sunday night in Yokohama, Japan. Hasegawa won by TKO in the 7th round, retaining his title.

Hasegawa, 26, from Kobe, was defending the title he gained against Thai fighter Veeraphol Sahaprom at the Nippon Budokan in April of this year. Originally he was scheduled to fight Diego Morales, who dropped out due to injury and was replaced by Martinez, 30, from Mexico City.

Hasegawa appeared to control the fight from early on, fighting at a measured pace and landing several punches in the early rounds. Martinez visually tired by the fifth round, though he came back with some strength in the sixth. Early in the seventh round, however, Martinez suffered a knockdown, followed by a stunning left, after which he struggled to gain control. After fierce close-quarters fighting, he staggered backwards and fell, hand to his left temple. The official called the match at 2:18.

Today was Hasegawa's third wedding anniversary.

Nokia 7710
Could you please add a link to the source page where you found this image? It's very useful when trying to track down if the image is fair use or not to have the original source link. Thanks! - Amgine/talk 02:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, its there --Nathan8225

Hey Nathan8225, can you write on the image description page where you have gotten that image? Wikinews has a very strict fair use policy, and to verify that this picture qualifies, we need to know where you have gotten it. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 22:52, 13 October 2005 (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 Vizion. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vizion~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 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 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) 06:40, 21 April 2015 (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 JayW. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JayW~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.

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

Welcome
Jamesray, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Mrmiscellanious 15:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
