Thank you
Thank you for the kind words about my edits reviewing articles on Wikinews. Most appreciated. ;) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 06:49, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. In addition to having occasionally contributed anonymously to Wikipedia and Wikinews, I'm also an editor for a blog that has a similar review process. Therefore I'm fully aware of how much work you had to put in just to clear the queue of pending articles that accumulated over the past few days. I'm also one who realizes that his work isn't necessarily as superb as he would like to think, so I always welcome the feedback. =P Ragettho (talk) 06:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I usually take my time to read them over, especially the older ones, over a day or so, and then review them all in one bunch. -- Cirt (talk) 06:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Question
Do you mind if I make some little changes to the article? I think it needs to convey that the evidence of lewd internet conduct came out in continuing disclosures of messages and photos over a few weeks, which he at first denied and then admitted to in drips and drabs as the evidence became clearer.

It has been noted elsewhere if he had just admitted his behavior in the beginning, that he might have been able to retain his seat. But he had clearly lied and equivocated from day one.

It seems that the porn star was just the last straw, and that the result would be the same, even if she had not stepped forth.

Also, I read in one source (not sure if it is listed in the article) that his wife of one year is very close to the Clintons and that they are furious with Weiner.

I doubt the marriage will last! Any bets? Mattisse (talk) 17:12, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, we have enough material for an in-depth article. Would you like to collaborate on the expansion? The article is unlikely to be reviewed in time for the 2 pm ET press conference anyway, so we'll have a lot of revisions to make within the next hour. So, I think we should pull the article (again), put in the edits you suggested, and elaborate more on the successive release of photos and the Clinton connection. We should not speculate too much on the marriage, though, since the press hasn't seemed to cover that too much. What do you think? Ragettho (talk) 17:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my computer crashed before I could answer you on my talk page. The article states that the lewd photo was accidentally posted on twitter. Is that a fact, or is that just what he said? (Got to rush off to hear the news conference.) Mattisse (talk) 18:22, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. Per the comment below, I've listed the article for review, and we can add updates later on. Ragettho (talk) 18:28, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Just a thought
Kind of deep thought, imho, about trade-offs in trying to maximize the effectiveness of the Wikinews system. I was reminded of this by noticing you'd recently twice(?) pulled an article off the review queue to update it — but I don't mean to imply anything about that specifically. It's just that it reminded of this conundrum, and I thought I'd offer it to you so you could think about it too.

Back when the anti-Mubarak protests were going on in Egypt, we had an article waiting for review about them whose author kept pulling the article to update it. This was one of those times when the active reviewers were short on the large time needed for a full review (it is a massive job, after all), and each version of the article would sit around for about twelve hours and then get pulled before it could be reviewed. I myself had the experience, once during that time, of finally scraping together enough time for a review, spending a large part of that hard-won time, and having the article pulled out from under me. We ended up with no coverage of most of the unfolding events, one article about some events toward the end of the sequence, and a long gap (I think it was almost three days) when we didn't publish a single article about anything. The article-pulling that was obviously intended to cause us to publish very up-to-date information, instead only had the effect of preventing us from publishing all the versions that got pulled.

I've often wondered if we could have done better. If we could have, it would have been by (1) starting a new article instead of pulling an old one, and (2) writing each article so that it would remain a valid account of earlier events even if it didn't get published until after some later events had unfolded. --Pi zero (talk) 18:14, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the advice! If you're a US resident, then you might be aware that Weiner is supposed to hold a press conference any minute now. Would you recommend that I just submit the article for review immediately after the conference? We can add any updates to a new article. Ragettho (talk) 18:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Submitting right after the conference certainly sounds reasonable. You're immersed in the article, I'm not, of course; whether this technique can work here is something you'd know better than I.  But there may well be a distinction between the sort of updates that can just be added to the article, and the sort that would call for a separate article.

 * Of course, there's also the danger that somebody will tag an article as "should be merged with such-and-such". (Sometimes you just can't win. :-)   I try to be helpful, but I surely don't have all the answers either.  --Pi zero (talk) 18:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

 * He did resign several minutes after 2 p.m. His wife was not beside him. His speech last 4 minutes according to CNN. He did not take questions. Can only find a blog so far that documents his speech.. He apologized to his family (his father and mother for bringing him up with such good values!), his wife, his constituents, but not to the country, which CNN pointed out was where the damage was the worst, as representatives speaking in local areas feared giving press conferences about important things like jobs, etc., worried that questions about Weiner would be raised.

Wikipedian in Residence article about Dominic.
Hi there. I just realized that I was quoted in this article. You brought my quote about digital rights and sales of Ansel Adams images by institutions out of context. It comes off 1) out of context to my blog which is imperative to the quotation being understood 2) that I am making a blanket statement about organizational policy as a whole regarding image use at institutions 3) that I am representing Archives of American Art, when I was making this statement as an individual outside of the organization. This is causing quite an issue for my residency position and I have had to do lengthy explaining to a number of GLAMs (including my own organization and the Smithsonian as a whole) about my quotation being taken out of context. It would be ideal if my quotation could be removed or strictly placed into the context as stated on my blog regarding the marketability of Ansel Adams. I'd prefer the removal. Thank you. SarahStierch (talk) 19:02, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This is now largely resolved by taking a more representative quote and putting it in an appropriate context. I'm not sure what you wanted to say with the quote you selected; we shouldn't be making Wikimedians in Residence uncomfortable, or politicising the relationship with GLAM orgs. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:04, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm wondering, why did you think it wasn't working? In case the difficulty was with what it's supposed to do —    does three things. It guarantees that the link will always go to Wikipedia, even if a page were created on Wikinews with the target name. It adds the page to hidden Category:Pages with forced foreign links. And if you've selected the User interface gadget "Underline in green catorizable w links", it causes the forced link to be shown with a dashed underline. (I love that gadget; it makes the deep infrastructural purposes of w much easier to pursue.) --Pi zero (talk) 16:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks -- I had a general idea of what foreign=force did. But on the article itself (not the edit box), I kept seeing . Did you not see this after you submitted your edit? Ragettho (talk) 16:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's disturbing.
 * Do you still see this problem when you look at the ?
 * Do you see it when you look at either of the two  wikilinks that are still in the article?  (The easy one to find is in the caption of the first picture.)
 * --Pi zero (talk) 16:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I still see that problem in the preceding revision. And yes, I still see it in the two remaining instances. (I actually missed those!) I'm not sure what to do with those, since I'm assuming that you're not experiencing this problem. Ragettho (talk) 16:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's a pdf file you can take a look at Ragettho (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's extremely helpful, as it makes it very clear just what symptoms you're seeing. Also,
 * Good grief, what a mess.
 * I can tell some things about your set up, giving me a better idea what to scrutinize when re-dissecting the template code. I'm still not sure what I'm looking for, but then, considering how many hours I spent desk-checking and testing that code before deployment, it's kind of a given that if it was something I'd naturually think of, it wouldn't be there.  (Hopefully, it is there; I'd far rather have made a stupid mistake in the code than have the problem be something much harder to track down.)  --Pi zero (talk) 18:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now. (Hurray!  I'd done something incredibly stupid!)  --Pi zero (talk) 19:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's great! :) Now why did I experience these problems, and not you? Ragettho (talk) 01:03, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * When linking to Wikipedia, w acts like w:Template:Sec link auto, linking to the secure server iff used from the secure server. The bug was in code that only runs on the insecure server.  --Pi zero (talk) 04:18, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * oh ok... thanks for the clarification! I'm glad that there weren't any issues on my end. 04:32, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for publishing Hidden treasure worth billions of dollars discovered in Indian temple. It's very much appreciated. Mattisse (talk) 00:39, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. It's an interesting article! Ragettho (talk) 00:54, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

I've told you about this before
Please don't do it again. Bencherlite (talk) 05:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, today is Tuesday, not Wednesday. Wednesday is tomorrow. Sunday was two days ago. In any case, the two day gap is clearly unacceptable. I'm pretty sure I tried revising the text to shorten the lead and remove the time-sensitive phrasing at that time, but obviously not all of my edits went through. I'll look into the matter further... I think I still need to figure out how the "Make lead" tool works, since it has a lot of buttons that I simply haven't figured out completely yet. Ragettho (talk) 14:15, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No, we work by UTC around here (check the timestamp in my message if nothing else), so I was right and you're wrong about the day of the week on Wikinews, whatever day it is/was for you personally wherever you happen to live. Not that this is any excuse, as you go on to accept.  And this confusion, by the way, is another reason not to use "today", "yesterday" or similar words on the front page.  As for sorting out "make lead", it offers a default setting of the first one or two sentences of the article which you can then edit before pressing the button marked "Save as lead [4]" .  It really is quite simple, and I'm surprised it's causing you so many problems.  In any case, if you're uncertain, check the main page after you've made the lead article and see if it looks the way that you expected.  If it doesn't, go to Lead article 1 (or 2, etc) and edit it directly.  Yours, Bencherlite (talk) 21:12, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * According to UTC, it's still Tuesday for the next two hours.--William S. Saturn (talk) 21:47, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Ragettho — If you scroll down the WN:ML page below even the sample of what the lead will (approximately) look like, in the lower left-hand corner there is an edit buffer that contains the proposed content for the selected lead template. The "make lead" button causes the sample display to be updated to reflect whatever edits you've made to that buffer.

I think I'd been using makelead for more than half a year before I noticed that edit buffer was there. :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 22:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

 * My apologies for getting my days of the week confused even using UTC - I plead lack of sleep due to a very new baby in the house... I'm not even sure what month it is some days... Bencherlite (talk) 09:48, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

 * No problem. Congrats on the new baby... I've heard it's a very exhausting yet rewarding experience. And get off the computer! I'm glad that you've found the time to contribute here, but Wikinews is hardly a place for relaxation. =P Ragettho (talk) 03:28, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Review 9/11 conspiracy theory goes to U.S. Court in Denver
Would review my article? :) Stapler80 (talk) 22:09, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Sex/sexuality category
You'd asked about creating such a category, what to call it, and whether it should be split between Health and Category:Culture and entertainment. --Pi zero (talk) 21:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The part of this that would go under Health seems tolerably straightforward, but not the part that would go under Culture and entertainment. It's a very different situation from Category:Royalty, where the inclusion criterion for the smaller category was essentially concrete, regardless of top-level category(-ies).
 * One solution would be to omit the Culture-and-entertainment part of it, and create a category strictly under Category:Health. Perhaps one could call it.
 * A conceivable alternative might be to draft a usage note (field of topic cat) articulating a clear straightforward inclusion criterion for the Culture-and-entertainment stuff. I don't see how to do it, but that's just me.  The field is there for this sort of thing.
 * Thanks for the message — I had almost forgotten about this! Maybe we could have an overarching category called "Sex", and use subcategories called "Sex crimes", "Sexual health", and "Sex in culture"? It's just an idea; I, too, am already having a hard time figuring out how the categorization would work. The problem is that a sex category could conceivably have articles that belong in most, if not all, of the top-level categories. (e.g. "sex education" fits in "education", "pornography" fits in "culture and entertainment", "prostitution" fits in "crime and law" and/or "economy and business", etc.) Ragettho (talk) 04:21, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Make lead
I gave the wrong instructions, a while back, when trying to help you with how to modify the text before submitting. For this, you don't want the "Make lead" button above the preview, because that wipes out any manual changes to the buffer in the lower left; rather, the "Refresh preview" button, below the preview on the right.

I was reminded of this recently when I got tangled up by it myself. --Pi zero (talk) 14:58, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll keep that in mind next time I use ML. Ragettho (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring text in US President Obama announces deal reached to avert government default
Thanks for doing that. I didn't realize you had, so I added more from a more accessible source. These now need reviewing. Perhaps you could turn down those reviews of mine, as they are unnecessary now. Sorry for being so negligent and not reviewing "Recent changes" more carefully. Respectfully, Mattisse (talk) 17:19, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I also would like to thank you for this; the 24-hour horizon was looming, and the more eyes the better. (Having finally figured out why I wasn't finding it in the source, I went to restore it myself, only to be pleasantly surprised to find I didn't have to.)  --Pi zero (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem :) Ragettho (talk) 00:34, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Apologies if I stepped on your toes with that review. --Pi zero (talk) 00:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up on the older sources... but you should have just left a note on the talk page. I wouldn't have been able to submit a review without reading talk page posts anyway. Ragettho (talk) 00:26, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You're quite right, of course. I realized that... just after submitting.  And felt bad.  --Pi zero (talk) 00:38, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Exposed ip
Would you like your exposed ip on the water cooler hidden, as a matter of privacy? --Pi zero (talk) 23:10, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, please. :) Ragettho (talk) 23:17, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Are there any archived discussions that you would recommend me reading? I should probably inform myself on the matter before I discuss further. Ragettho (talk) 23:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

 * IP hidden. :-)

 * Truthfully, I'm reluctant to point you at archives. Some of the most harrowing arguments to threaten to shake the whole project apart in the past two years have been between the review/non-review factions (I'm resisting my instinct to use a pejorative rather than "non-review", of course).  On one hand, I know from my own reading of very old Wikinews archives, trying to understand some of the long-ago times, that often you really can't feasibly recreate what was going on from the wiki record (partly because the time sequence is opaque).  And on another hand, sometimes the best way to deal with the past is to let it fall behind us, and look forward instead (in other words, let past conflicts stay buried).  --Pi zero (talk) 00:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Freshness nuance
I wasn't sure, from a comment you wrote recently, that this point came through clearly, so I thought I'd just note it here; this is a pet peeve of... someone's, I'm forgetting whose atm. The baseline freshness criteria are that the news event is within seven days and new information has come to light within 2–3 days. That's not about the dates on the sources; it's entirely possible for a source to contain only information that had already been available for some time. So most often the news event itself should have occurred within 2–3 days. I tried to articulate this when drafting WN:Article wizard/Freshness. --Pi zero (alt acct) (alt talk) 14:03, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. The article wizard was very helpful in explaining the freshness criteria, too. Ragettho (talk) 15:26, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Picture select
In my primary web browser (Firefox 6), the gallery pictures appear without captions (which also means without credits, of course). So I decided to try the other browser readily available to me, which is some-version-or-other of IE — and in that, the gallery doesn't appear at all.

Is it working for you (I'm guessing yes), and what browser are you using? --Pi zero (talk) 22:54, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The captions don't show up for me either. I pulled the template from a now-archived article, so I thought that it was alright to not show captions in the gallery. :/ I'll see if I can find a way to get these captions to show up. Ragettho (talk) 22:56, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

DC-10 brief
Thanks for the review.....and I'm well aware of its brevity. I'm making a half-baked effort to sort of revive Briefs.....(which I might be better at doing if I understood what they were/why they existed more!) :]   ....along those lines, what do you think about Briefs.......I'm confused about the difference between Briefs and Shorts....and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Bddpaux (talk) 16:19, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I've only been here since May, so I wouldn't know whether briefs have existed before. Briefs are merely short summaries of larger stories, so I don't see why we need to publish them if we can write the full articles instead. But if you have a compelling reason to start writing briefs instead of complete articles, then I might support you. According to current policy, all articles published are still required to meet the minimum three-paragraph requirement. Breaking news may be published with less content, but it is expected that the article will be expanded to at least three paragraphs when more developments in the story arise. Shorts are collections of at least three news stories, and each story might have one or two short paragraphs. Ragettho (talk) 16:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Request for reviewing and other assistance
Hi. Next week is the start of the and two Wikinewies will be attending to cover the para-alpine skiing ahead of the 2014 Winter Paralympics. This is part of an effort outlined at IPC Alpine Ski World Championships. Immediately following this event, there will be a Meetup in Barcelona where Wikinews, the Paralympics and efforts to similar sport coverage will be discussed. At the moment, there are only two active reviewers on a daily basis. Demonstrating an ability to get reviews for these types of events done quickly is important for Wikinews credibility and gaining access to these types of events. I would really appreciate it if you could sign up on the IPC World Championship page to review, promote articles published during this period, assist in translating these articles into another language or attend the meetup in Barcelona. Thanks. --LauraHale (talk) 09:31, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikinews Writing contest 2013 is here. :) Please sign up to participate?
We've created the Writing contest 2013, which will start on April 1 and end on June 1. It is modeled on the successful 2010 contest. Unlike the previous version, points are available for people who conduct reviews. (With a University of Wollongong class currently contributing articles, extra assistance is appreciated at this time.) It presents a great incentive for you to renew your reviewing chops, contribute some original reporting not being done by the main stream media, and write some synthesis articles on topics that could use more attention. People should be around to review to prevent a backlog if you just want to write, and several reviewers have access to scoop to make it easier to review any original reporting you do. If you are interested in signing up, please do so on Writing contest 2013/entrants. There is at least one prize on offer for the winner along with the opportunity to earn some barn stars as a way of thanking you for your participation. :D --LauraHale (talk) 10:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Inactive Policy
Per the proposed inactive policy, yopur account has been nominated to have its privileges reduced. --

Privileges
'''Note! Your privileges on English Wikinews have been reduced.'''
 * Under the Privilege expiry policy (enacted October 13, 2012) the rights held by your user account have been reduced due to inactivity, or lack of privilege use.

 * Point 4 of the Privilege expiry policy provides for fast-tracking reacquisition of privileges. We all understand that real-life commitments can severely curtail the level of commitment you can give to Wikinews; the privilege reduction is in no way intended as a reflection on your past work, or to imply you are unwelcome. The aim in curtailing privileges is to address security risks, and concern that a long period of inactivity means you may not be up-to-date with current policy and practices.

 * Per this version of WN:RfP, you may review the public announcement of this change. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:00, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Pope speaks with astronauts in orbit for first time

May 22, 2011 Pope Benedict XVI spoke with astronauts aboard the International Space Station yesterday, marking the first time a pope has conversed with astronauts in orbit.

Organized by the European Space Agency (ESA), the call originated from the at 7:11 am. German ESA astronaut, president of the Enrico Saggese, and General Giuseppe Bernardis of the  were also in the room at the Vatican. Aboard the spacecraft were Italian, U.S., and Russian crew members of the  mission and.

Endeavour commander and U.S. astronaut Mark Kelly greeted His Holiness aboard the spacecraft. The Pope wished Kelly's wife, Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, well as she recovers from an assassination attempt that took place in January. Doctors inserted a hard plastic implant, or a bone flap, into Giffords's skull last Wednesday. The Pope also asked of the astronauts' impressions of the planet from space.

"We fly over most of the world and we don't see borders, but at the same time we realize that people fight with each other and there is a lot of violence in this world," Kelly said. The Pope sent his condolences to Italian astronaut, whose mother died earlier this month while he was in space.

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 AlphOnzo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AlphOnzo~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 23:12, 17 March 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 Bewaji. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bewaji~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 23:12, 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) 06:29, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Four killed in militant attack on Karachi military base

May 22, 2011At least four people have been killed in a militant attack on a Pakistani military base in Karachi. Explosions and gunfire were heard inside the base during the latest militant attack since U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in a raid on his compound in the country earlier this month.

Officials said as many as twenty militants may have attacked in Karachi, the largest city in the country, and confirmed four had been injured and five wounded. Reports indicate Pakistani forces at the base are fighting back against the attackers; one military aircraft has been destroyed.

There are likely to be questions over how militants were able to infiltrate the base, even after warnings from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan that there will be reprisal attacks for the, the leader of al-Qaeda, in Pakistan this month. A spokesperson for the militant group said they would launch attacks on Pakistani military forces to avenge the terrorist leader.

[ [20:55]] * MC8 nominates pizero as chairperson

[ [21:00]] <pizero> Good grief, I don't have the confidence to do stuff like that.

[ [21:01]] <pizero> Here's an extra topic for discussion, though: Is every other week too often for these things?

[ [21:10]] <dendodge> Is anything happening in here?

[ [21:11]] <pizero> No.

[ [21:11]] <dendodge> Shame.

[ [21:11]] <pizero> Lack of turnout suggests lack of a genuine need.

[ [21:11]] <dendodge> I'll linger anyway, since I have nothing better to do.

[ [21:11]] <pizero> One would hate to miss it if something *did* happen. :-)

[ [21:13]] <MC8> Picochip08 is (properly, this time)

[ [21:13]] <MC8> ...

[ [21:14]] <pizero> Eek.

[ [21:14]] <MC8> I don't remember programming that

[ [21:14]] <pizero> Short term memory is the first to go.

[ [21:14]] <Wackywace> Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.

[ [21:14]] <pizero> Anyone have any thoughts on "How should we welcome the University of Wollongong's journalism students?"?

[ [21:15]] <pizero>

[ [21:15]] * MC8 has no ideas whatsoever

[ [21:15]] <dendodge> Are they still doing it?

[ [21:15]] <MC8> But they're about to drop off the queue, I tagged a few as abandoned today

[ [21:15]] <dendodge> I thought they would have finished by now.

[ [21:16]] <MC8> Some of them are awful, I don't think they've read the SG

[ [21:16]] <MC8> (hm, chatham house rules might be worth it next time)

[ [21:17]] <pizero> I've really lost track of who the UoW students are.

[ [21:18]] <Wikilink2_> http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Journalist%27s_arrest_sparks_alarm_over_the_legality_of_social_networking_activity

[ [21:20]] <pizero> Yeah, mayb. There'd been some possibles (and definitely's) accumulating on the water cooler, at least some of which did get copied to AAA. Not sure they all did.

[ [21:20]] <pizero> *maybe

[ [21:21]] <MC8> There's not been a definitive list

[ [21:22]] <pizero> Brianmc had started to put together a careful analysis of edits-by-phase to each of their articles, but I'm pretty sure that didn't get maintained.

[ [21:22]] <dendodge> There's a category somewhere, isn't there?

[ [21:23]] <Wikilink2_> http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:UoW_student

[ [21:25]] <MC8> Wackywace: nice article though

[ [21:25]] <MC8> it might have just been c&p'd off archives, perhaps?

[ [21:26]] <MC8> I say "nice", I mean "nicely formatted". It's a presser

[ [21:30]] <pizero> If we don't want to give up on these workshops altogether (don't know, myself), perhaps it would make sense to make them monthly.

[ [21:30]] <MC8> Well, this one is de-facto "not running", isn't it?

[ [21:34]] <pizero> I was saying after the one four weeks ago, that the function of such a workshop could be performed at least as well by occasional threads on the (miscellaneous?) water cooler.

[ [21:34]] <pizero> Maybe better. It wouldn't be hard to do better than this.

[ [21:35]] <MC8> Why do we have a gazillion water coolers, anyway?

[ [21:35]] <MC8> (side note, I still think SD is broken)

[ [21:36]] <pizero> heh.

[ [21:36]] <pizero> We only have five, don't we?

[ [21:37]] <pizero> It helps keep things from getting tangled. I do have doubts about mirroring it all on WN:Water cooler.

[ [21:37]] <Wikilink2_> http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/WN:Water_cooler

[ [21:38]] <pizero> It's not really on that page, so mirroring it there seems rather muddling. It does make a semi-convenient way of figuring out which cooler a thread is on.

[ [21:40]] <pizero> Projects that have a single page for all discussions are kind of a mess.

[ [21:42]] <pizero> If nothing has happened by the end of the hour, can we pack up and go home?

[ [21:43]] <MC8> I expect so

[ [21:38]] <pizero> It's not really on that page, so mirroring it there seems rather muddling. It does make a semi-convenient way of figuring out which cooler a thread is on.

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 Mallon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mallon~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Military forces continued to fight off the militants on Monday morning, hours after the attack began the night before when as many as twenty militants stormed hangars at the base and used to destroy a number of military aircraft, including a. Witnesses reported hearing a number of loud explosions and heavy gunfire as the militants continued to attack the base. "They were carrying guns, rocket-propelled grenades and ," a spokesperson for the said. , the prime minister, said the attack was a "cowardly act of terror".

Reports last night indicated hostages may have been taken at the base, but officials have confirmed all foreigners at the base are safe and any hostages taken have been freed. Commandos moved in after the attack begun and fighting continued throughout the night, and more loud explosions and gunfire were heard in the base on Monday morning.

Unrest spreads to Morocco; police violently break up demonstrations

May 23, 2011

Pro-democracy protests by Moroccans in the capital of and city of  on Sunday were violently broken up by police. Protesters called for a reduction in the power of the monarchy, a strengthening of the power of the Prime Minister and a reformation of the judiciary.

Police, armed with batons and shields, were seen violently beating protesters and chasing them away. The protesters in Casablanca chanted "[p]rotest is a legal right, why is the afraid?" in reference to the royal court, and "Makhzen get out. Down with despotism." Others chanted "[w]e want our rights, even if we are condemned to death," before fleeing to avoid armed police.

The police and the government were acting to try to stop a mass camp out protest similar to that seen earlier this year in Egypt's, which eventually lead to the falling of the government. One senior police officer stated "[w]e have been called here to preserve order because of this unauthorised protest."

The called for a constitutional reformation on March 9, and the changes are expected to be announced in June. This is not the first protest that has been held recently. On May 15, protesters attempted to hold a rally outside intelligence headquarters in Rabat; this protest too was violently dispersed.

Employees killed in Foxconn manufacturing factory

May 26, 2011

On Friday evening, an explosion in, China caused partial shutdown of a facility operated by , one of the world's biggest electronics manufacturers and a major supplier to companies like Hewlett-Packard, , Sony, Apple, and Nokia. Initial investigations now suggest the explosion was caused by poor ventilation, which lead to high concentrations of combustible dust.

The blast happened at 7:18PM, around the time workers change shifts. A fire followed. Emergency services had control by 7:30PM. At least three people were killed, at least fifteen injured. Foxconn halted production to investigate, saying "All operations at the affected workshop remain suspended and production at all other workshops that carry out similar processing functions have also been halted pending the results of the investigation. All other production operations in our facilities in China continue operating normally."

On Monday, city officials gave the cause as combustible dust in the air at a polishing workshop. Hong Kong-based labor rights group Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior said they reported aluminium dust problems in March when they reviewed working conditions at Foxconn. After the explosion, they commented that workers were complaining "the ventilation of the department is poor. Workers polish the cases to make them shiny. In the process, there is lots of aluminum (aluminium) dust floating in the air. Workers always breathe in aluminum dust even though they put on masks. When workers take off their cotton gloves, their hands are covered with aluminum dust."

Foxconn responded by saying the group was trying to "capitalize on the tragic accident" and misrepresented "Foxconn's commitment to the health and safety of our employees."

Foxconn is responsible for making iPads and for Apple. Research group IHS iSuppli said the explosion may cause loss of production of 500,000 iPads during this quarter of the year. They said there is a larger facility in, but it cannot cope with re-compensating the possible loss.

The majority of the journalists choose to write about themes that had to do with their political position, and didn’t disclose any information that contradicted this view. Natalia’s independence allowed her to make sure that this information did not remain forgotten inside the drawer of private interests."

Thread:Comments:Four killed in militant attack on Karachi military base/Potential error?

"four had been injured and five wounded." - Should that be saying four had been killed and five wounded?

It shows the compassion, sorrow, and confession which leads to forgiveness and possible reconciliation. It strengthens my respect for news coverage and everyone concerned and effected.

Replace deleted Osama portrait?
One, perhaps more, article used this image, now deleted:

File:Osama_bin_Laden_portrait.jpg Since this was used for general illustration rather than the news value of the image itself, should we replace it with a Commons image such as the following?

 * File:Osama Bin Laden-Pentagon.png (Used on Wikinews Main Page although tagged at Commons for speedy deletion.)

If we do, it may violate the spirit of the archiving policy.

The only article currently linked to the deleted image is:

--InfantGorilla (talk) 13:04, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Why don't we just upload locally? He's dead; Commons aren't going to get any image to satisfy their 'high standards'. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I see that now - Commons is likely to purge all lifelike images of Osama. Is there an image we can upload locally that is not from a competing news gatherer? --InfantGorilla (talk) 13:28, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That could be tricky. Question is, do the CIA own any of the images they've used? You'd assume if there was a wanted poster issued that would have been bought to put in the PD. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but my guess is that wanted posters are published from Al-Qaeda media released via the press, under a kind of presumed fair use rather than an explicit license. I suspect the three-letter agencies were more concerned with catching folks than negotiating media licenses. --InfantGorilla (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * DOD published videos seized from Abbottabad. This should be ok as fair use at Wikinews if Commons deletes it File:Osama bin Laden making a video at his compound in Pakistan.jpg
 * Please add it to articles judiciously.
 * --InfantGorilla (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Resolved. Someone added a different image that is likely to better suit Wikinews's goal of creating free content, as a result of this unsuccessful deletion request: Let's add the video screenshot to another of Saturday's articles Al-Qaeda says bin Laden death will 'not be wasted'; Pentagon releases videos of terrorist leader in compound - even though it was two days ago - because of the specific relevance.

General disclaimer/rewrite
Per my, perhaps foolish, nomination of the "boilerplate" disclaimer for deletion, and as a result of numerous people responding they've no objection to a rewrite, I have made a start on this.

I believe this should be kept short, use as plain English as possible, but still satisfy WMF counsel. Would someone care to ask counsel what are the critical points for inclusion within the disclaimer?

Any comments before we all dive into this? Should we perhaps link to the corrected articles category to prove we're true to our word there? --Brian McNeil / talk 16:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, it looks ready to submit to WMF review. --InfantGorilla (talk) 17:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * <laughing> Omit needless words? ;-) --Brian McNeil / talk 22:23, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

the Wiki style guide.
I totally understand that you need a style guide, I've finally read all the way through the style guide but I ask someone to please remove the last sentence in the section with the heading "purpose" as it reads "Adherence is very strongly recommended, but not absolutely compulsory." and yet for those who don't stick to this style guide, they tend not to be published so it should be changed to "compulsory." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by B.j Shepherd (talk • contribs) 02:16, 18 May 2011
 * The WN:SG is a guideline that all users should follow. Even among professional journalists, there is some discord over writing styles and because Wikinews is written for an international audience, it is hard to compile compulsory list. Furthermore, because WN contributors are rarely professionals, article reviews aren't going to be familiar with every single nuance of the style guide (whether they should be or not is a different topic entirely), and requiring compulsory use of the guide would bog down the system. Others may have a different viewpoint on this but that's my general thought on it. Calebrw (talk) 20:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * To follow on from the prior remark; wild divergence from the Style Guide will not be accepted. Consider it 90% mandatory, and 10% discretionary. Since I believe in going up to eleven, you've an extra ten percent of creativity to push in there. I don't feel your complaint is justified because, reading the Style Guide does not make you a good writer. To be a good, or great, writer you should be able to follow every rule in it whilst writing compulsively readable copy; great writers will know exactly where, and when, to throw it out the window, disorient the reader whilst keeping within all other rules/policies, and put together something people will demand their friends and acquaintances read. I've yet to see that from UoW students. No proto-Duncan Campbell or Paul Foot has popped out the woodwork,... yet.
 * Your comment, Mr Shepherd, is noted. Now, re-read that last sentence as a challenge; can you fit every point of the style guide, then deliberately violate its edicts for style's sake? --Brian McNeil / talk 20:34, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we can replace the sentence with a simple description of fact, such as:
 * ''Articles that do not adhere to the style guide are unlikely to be published.
 * --InfantGorilla (talk) 09:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd be perfectly happy with that. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:07, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * . --Pi zero (talk) 16:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
