UEFA Euro 16 draw takes place: England and Wales drew in Group B
Pi zero (talk) 15:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC) The non-textual content treated as if it were part of the text isn't really appropriate. It should be text.
 * acagastya 17:16, 13 December 2015 (UTC)  Well, should I use tables? (I tried to have it like Draw results for UEFA Euro 2008 announced)
 * Pi zero (talk) 19:22, 13 December 2015 (UTC) Seems to me it should be text. One of the difficulties in working out how to handle these sorts of articles is that the examples in the archives, such as the one you mention, are from before review.

I do feel we can get the kinks worked out of this process so things will run more smoothly. We're not quite there yet, though.

(I'm skeptical of your template-based approach; my suspicion is that it addresses an organization part of article writing/reviewing that may be a lesser consideration, not the main bottleneck; but I admit I don't fully understand what you have in mind, so at this point I'm only speculating and striving as always to keep an open mind.) --Pi zero (talk) 21:06, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Borussia Dortmund captain Mats Hummels to join rivals Bayern Munich
Pi zero (talk) 03:40, 11 May 2016 (UTC) I was surprised to find there was a lot of stuff in the article I couldn't find in the sources. As you point out, you've been here for a year; you should know by now to document everything, thoroughly, and to try to make everything really easy to review. See the review comments.
 * Pi zero (talk) 10:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC) The good news (though I know you were really hoping we could pubalish this last night) is that I think I got the whole "has he actually signed" question under control.
 * acagastya 12:23, 11 May 2016 (UTC) fcbayern and fcb.tv confused me. Forgot to add one.
 * Pi zero (talk) 12:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Ah. I'd wondered if it might be simply a source dropped from the list.
 * acagastya 14:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Still to be on the safer side, I added ESPN FC link to avoid any further doubts. Well, on IRC, I messaged the links for Lewandowski and Götze. Wasn't that okay?
 * Pi zero (talk) 14:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Ah, is that what those links were? I recalled you'd mentioned something but has misremembered what it was about and, since that tab was closed, would have had to hunt around to find the info.  The thing is, this stuff really ought to be documented on-wiki if possible, or in some special cases on scoop with notes on-wiki saying it's been sent to scoop.  It can be quite useful to have real-time communication between reviewer and writer on IRC, but actual documentation should be centered on the wiki (including things like OR notes).  Had I remembered correctly about those links, I'd have hunted them up and put them on the article for you, as a favor.  Though, if I'd fully understood in the first place, I'd have asked you to put them on the article at the time.
 * Pi zero (talk) 15:11, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Well, it's published. Tangled review process, to which I'm sure I contributed my share of tangling; a worthwhile article, though.

Sevilla wins third consecutive Europa League title, beating Liverpool 3-1
Handraulic (talk) 21:29, 19 May 2016 (UTC) Hello. I just wanted to say thanks for the help with the article. Nice job! That was some good collaboration.
 * acagastya 21:43, 19 May 2016 (UTC) Your welcome! Well basically, I tried to fix the style and I felt that Klopp's views should be added. In his contract, Klopp would get GBP 7 million if Liverpool qualifies for UEFA Champions League or wins the league. You can read about it here . Well, what about Copa del Rey, FA Cup, DfB Pokal and Coppa Italia? Any plans?
 * Handraulic (talk) 21:54, 19 May 2016 (UTC) Thanks. I appreciate it. Wow! I didn't know about that in his contract. Klopp must be unhappy he missed out on that kind of money. Well, I might be away for a couple of days or weeks, I've got a couple of exams coming up and I'm also moving to a new house, so it's going to be a little hectic. I'll check in when I have a chance and see how the articles read and maybe make a edit here and there.
 * acagastya 22:28, 19 May 2016 (UTC) Being a Barcelona and Spanish supporter, I wanted Sevilla to win. I feel good for Sevilla. My exams finished today (As per UTC) and if you have a busy schedule, I will take care of those articles. I hope Brian Mc won't have a problem with having four sports news submitted in a day.
 * Pi zero (talk) 22:41, 19 May 2016 (UTC) Four sports articles submitted in one day is kind of inconsiderate of reviewers.
 * acagastya 04:23, 20 May 2016 (UTC) Review one each day. Well, DfB Pokal is Der Klassiker (German Classic), Coppa Italia is battle of two of the best in Italy (Juventus being the most successful in Italy, AC Milan being second most successful in Italy as well as Europe), FA Cup has many followers and  Copa del Rey features Europa League winners as well as La Liga winners.

 * acagastya 04:58, 31 May 2016 (UTC)  Yes it is. I was making notes while watching the match. But I was unaware of the template broadcast report. Sorry for the late reply.

Infobox
Hi! The Canada infobox was so low in the article because I had intended to move some photos up, to be larger. I was hoping to minimize the presence of the box in part because it shows how infrequently there's new Canadian content on Wikinews. I'm fine with whatever formatting, but that was the intent. -- Zanimum (talk) 11:13, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * you can control the size of images. "left|thumb|500px" would set width of the image as 500px. We don't have recent articles about Canada, but if we are going to have an infobox, it would be at the top. Do we have a category for comicon or fan expo? We could use that, or perhaps culture and entertainment. 27.59.67.146 (talk) 12:45, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * On average, the culture ones are more recent, so it would be better to use that, probably. Are infoboxes optional? --  Zanimum (talk) 18:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Very old archives do not have infoboxes. But all of the recent ones have. I collaborated for an article (dated August 14) and we did not use infobox.

Category:Pi zero (Wikinewsie)
Creating a user category for someone without getting their permission first seems... weirdly creepy, sort of like cyber-stalking with a twist.

As a somewhat separate issue, you may have realized by now it should have been given a different name, since a normal Wikinewsie category Category:Pi zero (Wikinewsie) would be for articles written by me (there are, btw, a few of those; just not many).

Please don't create (let alone populate) any categories in my name without my permission. (I probably wouldn't agree to it without first taking some time to think it through first, which I clearly haven't got spare time for this morning. --Pi zero (talk) 11:30, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We got to start from somewhere -- remember we talked about having a CAT for me weeks ago, and we did not have it yet. We will keep on adding things in out to-do list if we don't act now, so shall we? acagastya PING ME! 11:41, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Several points.
 * A word of warning, up front. I'm feeling grouchy about this.  I really wanted to apply my first-thing-in-the-morning momentum today to review, and instead I've lost it to this.  I'll get less review done today because of that missed opportunity, even though I'm not willing to spend the whole morning on this in order to put it to bed.  Yes, I realize something else might have killed my momentum if this hadn't; but nothing else got the chance to do so because this got to it first — so I am, in fact, grouchy about this instead of grouchy about something else.
 * Like I said, don't create these categories in my name, at this time, without my permission. I have not given such permission.
 * A Wikinewsie category for articles written by acagastya is a separate issue, and as far as I remember the key thing it was waiting on was you providing to me a list of the articles to go into it. Naturally, having no great surplus of time, I wasn't agitating to get the list to me faster; but it's my recollection that list was the next step.
 * I have repeatedly said (though perhaps not very forcefully) I disagreed with your claim that there was any need to act quickly on the reviewer-category thing. Indeed, now that I'm spending a bunch of (unintended) time on it this morning, I can see that the sort of manually populated reviewer categories you're setting up are the wrong way to do it — "doing it the hard way".  If you manually set up those things now it'll probably just mean a lot of manual work later to undo what you're doing now.
 * --Pi zero (talk) 12:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Since I've got an odd block of time here in the late morning, not big enough for a review, I'm thinking maybe I'll try my hand at the who-reviewed-it category problem after all. --Pi zero (talk) 15:17, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've wired it up. Category:Peer reviewed/Passed/Pi zero, Category:Peer reviewed/Not ready/Pi zero.  (It should take a while for the software to catch up with populating those.)  At least, it seems like a start on the problem.  If we really feel the need for something that categorizes the articles themselves, we might consider piggy-backing it off of haveyoursay. (Sorry I was so grouchy this morning.  Hopefully I'll be in better form this afternoon.) --Pi zero (talk) 16:03, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary edits
What are these temporary removals of infoboxen for? --Pi zero (talk) 23:04, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * the first photo available in the article is chosen by Telegram, and also other websites like Facebook when we share the link. Since infobox is mentioned above any article, it's image appears. That's why. I do it for Wikinews channel on Telegram. acagastya PING ME! 23:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Unblock
As the admin who blocked me says: I was disrupting Wikinews to prove a point, let me tell you, I didn't edit anything on the main space. I just reverted vandalism on my user page. There is no policy on what we can not have on our user page, and "Wikinews is not responsible for the content of external sites." So, that is not incorrect. And as WN:Point says: discuss on the talk page first, I wanted to start the discussion about what is permitted on the user page. But despite following the policy, I am blocked!
 * to point out, before blocking for "disruptive editing", one is supposed to leave a talk page message. One is also supposed to put a blocked template, and explain the reason properly. As far as disruptive editing is concerned, the admin who blocked acagastya did not establish how the edits were disruptive. 27.59.19.27 (talk) 05:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I've given you a 24 hour cool-down period. Common sense applies; you clearly knew what you were doing was wrong before you did it, that being the point of the action.  Hence the cool-down period.  --Pi zero (talk) 05:18, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Explain how it is disruptive. Is there a policy which I broke by editing my user page? Is there a policy which prevents me from adding links to my user page? Did you explain properly? Point out which edit is "disruptive"? 103.254.128.50 (talk) 05:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I accepted the fact that those links were malware. I did not accept that what I did was wrong. And I don't know what is wrong. So, explain, what is wrong. acagastya PING ME! 05:38, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ultimately the purpose of blocks is preventative; the end goal is to prevent damage to the project. Links to malware, deliberately made to look as if they were not, and you pretend to not know that that is wrong?  I find that hard to credit.  --Pi zero (talk) 06:01, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Making it look something else? So that is "disruptive editing"? It was to submit for phishing database. I have used my user page to save book marks before, you never blocked me for that. acagastya PING ME! 06:16, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

In the end, which policy says I can not have external links on my user page? Either link that policy, or make the policy. acagastya PING ME! 06:18, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Need for ArbCom
There are multiple things we need ArbCom:
 * 1) framing better policies about user page content.
 * 2) framing policies about external link, malware and use of source template.
 * 3) Improper block rationale for acagastya and Agastya.
 * 4) Image attribution acagastya  PING ME! 05:52, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Red tape is one of the disastrous mistakes made by en.wp. If you can't see that those links were a wrong thing to do, then you are a danger to the project; if you can see that they were wrong and did it anyway, then again you are a danger to the project; either way, the block is entirely justified. My only doubt is whether a mere 24-hour block was inadequate; I'm hoping a cool-down period will let you get your bearings. --Pi zero (talk) 06:17, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have mentioned those links were to submit for the database -- the reason why it was still on the project is because there is no policy against content of external link. Am I dangerous to the project -- immaterial. Because if not me, someone else will raise the concern that there is no policy about external links/malware on the userpage, and Wikinews states that it is not responsible for it. Axagastya (talk) 06:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * If you really cared for this project -- you would have framed/or planned to frame a policy for it by now. So don't tell me I am dangerous for this project. Axagastya (talk) 06:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You almost provoked me into citing the policy, but then you added the line about if-I-really-cared. You know better; so, you're trolling. --Pi zero (talk) 06:53, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The cool down period? You know what will happen after the end of the block? I would request ArbCom to hear the case -- frame rules against personal information/and external links on the user page, and how to check if something is malware or not, and the proper attribution for photos, and why external links are banned when Wikinews is not responsible for its content. You "care" for the project by doing nothing (yes, blocking is not an effective way for sustaining) and I am "dangerous" for the project by raising concerns where there are loopholes. I know you it would not bother you if I am on this project or not, so for me. You say the block is justified, yet you fail to establish which policy I broke which called for WN:POINT. This is just like accusing a pineapple pizza lover because he can be "dangerous" for the country, provided country has no rules against pineapple pizza. Axagastya (talk) 06:55, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sometimes guilty of optimism; perhaps, when I suggested you knew me better than that, it was one of those times. Perhaps you don't know me after all.  --Pi zero (talk) 08:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Tell me, didn't 14.139.242.195 did block evading? Why didn't you block that IP two years ago? Don't say this is trolling, you can not use that excuse to shield from the things you did not do per the policies of Wikinews. acagastya PING ME! 05:58, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm having trouble with whether or nor you're serious. Blocking an IP for evading a voluntary block?  --Pi zero (talk) 06:05, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * yes. Block evading is a block. The sole reason I requested that block: to focus on my studies and not spent time on Wikinews. I knew I could not control it, and requested a block. You know that very well. acagastya PING ME! 06:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You asked to have the account blocked, and you stated up front it was so you'd focus on your studies. I had doubts about it, especially doubts about the effectiveness of the measure, but, it was your account, so I honored your request to block it.  Of course if you'd asked me at any time during that block (from the account) to lift the block I obviously would have done so immediately.  I'd have no grounds for not lifting it.  It would not usually be appropriate to block an IP, with potential for collateral damage, for a voluntary request.  Though I don't recall you making any concerted effort to convince me to do so (granted, I do recall a conversation about this at some point during the period in question).  --Pi zero (talk) 06:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't? I told you on IRC, while the time of the OR about earthquake in Afghanistan that I wanted to study, and I am still editing Wikinews, using this IP and it is doing no good for the block. Axagastya (talk) 06:38, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

ArbCom case
Following yesterday's events, I really think there should be an ArbCom hearing about the many things we do not agree upon.

Things to discuss:
 * 1) How much personal information is permissible on the user page?
 * 2) How should be attribute the photos?
 * 3) Improper rationale for my block.

Background
I use my userpage as sandbox, and I save links which I might use later, on the userpage. I have done it many times, and it was never questioned. One day, after I had redesigned my userpage, and was working on main page redesign, I wanted to save some phishing links so that I can add it to phishtank.com, since I could not remember my login credential. The display text mentioned which kind of page those URLs replicated. I didn't get time to submit then, and it remained on my userpage since then. I had never saved a suspicious URL before -- but after a discussion on Darkfrog24's talk, Pi zero mentioned sources in the External link section need not have sources template. Meaning, the readers who clicked the URL did not know where they might land, and it could be a spam link too. I checked the policies and it did not say anything about links on userpage. Moreover, the last line of the page says "Wikinews is not responsible for the content of external sites." Since I had not submitted those links yet, it remained on my userpage. I had mentioned important links so that I handle it with care. When it was removed by Pi zero yesterday -- that was sort of vandalism to prevent vandalism -- I agree. But since I did not violate any policy, or did something that could trigger WN:POINT, I find the block rationale invalid. I agree those were phishing websites which I saved because I wanted to report to phishing database.

Things to discuss
Considering this, and the various telephone spams we receive almost each day, we must have a limit on what we can have on the user page. For example, links to third-party website, social media services, contact information like email, phone number, address, personal websites, blogs... Also, what if someone's personal website is a phishing website? Or how do we set rules for a malicious website? Or how how to be prevent user page from being used as a promotion/advertising place for sharing links to blogs/ YouTube video, Amazon.com wishlist... How do we draw the fine line for which URLs are allowed and which are not? (also see User:C.H.I news)

There has been a debate on attribution/image courtesy between me and Pi zero (as well as Blood Red Sandman). Creative Commons' website says the best practice (and as mentioned in a CC license), attribution is must, which explicitly mentions Name of the author, link to the license, link to the original file (and also original title). They abbreviate it as TASL. (link). But, on English Wikinews, the attribution mentions the author name only, which, per the CC license, is incorrect. So, how should we attribute?

Lastly, was my block's rationale valid? Is there a policy about malicious links? If yes, the footer says we are not responsible for the content of the external link, so how do we address that?

 * Regarding the Creative Commons licensing, the licenses themselves and the linked page both say to be reasonable. Quoting from the linked page/one of the licenses,
 * "You may satisfy the conditions... in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means and context in which the Licensed Material is used. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy some or all of the conditions by retaining a copyright notice, or by providing a URI or hyperlink associated with the Licensed Material, if the copyright notice or webpage includes some or all of the required information."
 * It would seem that the fact we link already to the image information page upon clicking that would satisfy CC's requirements. The courtesy credit is all that, a courtesy. We provide the required attribution either via the file page from Commons or on WN when it's a local file. It could entirely be the case that specific CC licenses require other forms of attribution as suggested on another page from CC. The general requirement is that "attribution may be reasonable to the medium or means" (with exceptions of some sort for versions before 4.0). —mikemoral (talk) 06:59, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * that reasonable attribution should mention links explicitly. The information should not be made available after a few clicks. I had even emailed CC about it. They asked to follow the best practices. If you see the example, they have also mentioned the poor examples. If the attribution can not be given next to the media, it should be somewhere in the page, but should be mentioned explicitly. <span style="font-family:Helvetica; color:rgb(153, 68, 2);">acagastya PING ME! 07:07, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Clicking the image or file will either open the link to the File: page or open the media viewer both of which present copyright information. That would be us providing the link, so I wouldn't think it would be necessary to provide information on the articles themselves if it's easily accessible by following the image link. —mikemoral (talk) 07:27, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As I said earlier, the link to the license and the photo has to be mentioned explicitly. Besides, the template image has a link to the license (actually the File: page) with text display "Reuse terms". For example: Example.jpg Here, the original source of the image is Commons, but for photos imported from Flickr, we are supposed to link to the Flickr page.

Working it out
It seems to me that part of the problem with my edit on this article might be that you just don't like it when people correct your English or change your text. I didn't know that you wrote the article. I don't click the page history and check who the principal author is because it shouldn't matter. On Wikipedia, it's expected that any text submitted by anyone can be edited by anyone else, but things are a little different here.

Do you wish to say, for any reason, "Darkfrog24, please don't remove any mistakes or alter any not-exactly-wrong-but-could-be-better text in my articles. I'd rather let it stand/let someone else change it/come back and do it myself/other"? Wikinews is big enough that I can volunteer my time elsewhere, but checking who wrote the article before proofreading it is a pain in the neck and I don't want to waste my energy doing it if it won't make a difference. But I could do it as a favor.

So I'm asking you whether it makes a difference. Is this what's going on or part of what's going on?

Sometimes people feel that the other person has to be doing something objectively wrong for them to say "stop," but they don't. People can say "this bothers me" or "I don't like it." People's feelings matter, especially on such a small team. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:39, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Taliban
It seems I may have made a mistake with this. I'm not exactly sure how these cats should be arranged. Our Category:Taliban describes itself as being about the Afghan Taliban; so I started to create a category for the Pakistani Taliban. It's hard to tell sometimes whether Taliban news in Pakistan is really TTF or Afghan Taliban. I was thinking of having a cat for "Pakistani Taliban" and a cat for "Afghan Taliban" (those are easily understood names in English, clearly labeled by country), and... perhaps a "Taliban" category containing both? But it's proving very difficult to tell which Taliban (Pakistani/Afghan) is being discussed in a given article; in part I think the Wikinews authors weren't careful about the distinction, in part the sources may have downplayed the distinction (it's hard to know with an article from, say, 2007 whose sources are all unavailable). I'm also not completely confident that one can always tell the difference between the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban.

If you want to talk
Acagastya, it feels like it's possible, possible that one of the reasons you got your rant on with me yesterday is because you're having a bad day or a bad year or that someone outside of Wikinews is treating you like shit and you felt like swinging your authority at something. That's not cool. I am not okay with being an emotional punching bag. On a purely practical level, if a constructive comment is buried inside a rant, then I can't use it without tacitly consenting to being ranted at, and I absolutely do not consent to it.

I am okay with being an ear. We've worked together long enough for me to trust you with that. If you want to talk about it, my "email this user" is there for you. You can talk about anything you want that isn't Wikinews and I'll listen. We're a community. I am not offended if you delete this comment. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Look where you said "Unlike you, I can deal with this." That's very rude.  I'm just trying to be nice to you.

WTF?
You decided you didn't want your big OR article published? --Pi zero (talk) 04:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's an unfair way of putting it. You marked this article as stale, which baffles me; it's nowhere near stale, since it's high-end OR.  What's on your mind?  --Pi zero (talk) 04:21, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ORs are news articles, after all. And this is five days old. Nothing in the article is “news” or “new”. How can I let something be in the review queue when it is this old? Given that ORs are fresh for a longer period. But how long?If it was someone else’s article, I would not have marked it stale. But when I try to push and get things done by 48-hours from happening (and consider 96 hours for OR), I should not be encouraging this. I don’t know if I can make this call, but it just does not feel news. Could be because I experienced every moment of it, and that could influence such mentality, but don’t you think 119 hours is a lot? I thought about keeping the interview, but honestly, I know I blew it. As the second pair of eyeballs do you think we should have it? 223.237.198.157 (talk) 04:25, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * With those interviews, I would expect the article to remain fresh for about a week before I'd start having doubts about freshness, though obviously we don't want to make it wait that long. I've been proceeding with the review queue on the expectation that I could afford to take things in the order submitted because that article was not about to abruptly run out of time.  --Pi zero (talk) 05:17, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * India discontinues ₹500, ₹1000 denominations; releases ₹2000 and new ₹500 bills had very little OR material as compared to ComicCon, and was published five days after the event.

Could be because I saw the whole thing happen, but well, it is up to you if you want to allow it. <span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–• 06:27, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The demonetization article had as I recall only a dash of OR, and yes, at five days it would have been rather marginal; four days would have been more comfortable, not that even sooner wouldn't have been better. There's more here, and yes sooner is better but interviews are generally given much greater leeway (except in rare cases where an interview is about something highly topical).  --Pi zero (talk) 07:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, the interviews were possible only because of the event. But frankly speaking, a week is too much. <span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–• 13:31, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * A week feels on the long side to me also; I'd rather not have to make a call on whether it's too long. On the practical side, today is Thursday and I have some things I have to do afk this morning (pretty promptly now) that'll take a few hours, then I have to decide what to review next, which depends in part on whether I believe the OR would still be fresh on Friday.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:48, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I think I see what's been bothering you about this article. Note that the first thing needed on review, even if reviewed several days ago, would be to shift the mention of the interviews. That goes in the lede. And once it is in the lede, its contribution to newsworthiness (both freshness and relevance) is clearer. I think it's going to be okay. Which said, I'm going to have to suspend this review and get a night's sleep (having been up till about three in the morning over the IRC problem last night); and I'll dive into it again in the morning. --Pi zero (talk) 04:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Image credit
It is traditional on en.wn to give credit to the photographer. I'm trying to figure out whether there's a downside to omitting the information at the photographer's request; I can't see one off hand, yet it feels quite odd; I don't think we've ever had a photographer make such a request. (Btw, the images need status documentation, do they not? There's licensing, and who took them certainly needs to be specified on the image page as a matter of copyright, though whether to specify that information on the article is, as mentioned, a separate question.)  --Pi zero (talk) 04:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not a "tradition". It is the legal requirement, and ethical as well, to attribute. And per the CC BY-ND license, attribution is must, but I am the author of this article and I am making use of it. So, even if there is a legal battle, it would be Agastya Chandrakant/acagastya [photo's author] vs acagastya [article author], and both are the same person. Since the article does not have any mention about who interviewed those guests, I think we should not have my name in the image caption. Seeing my name mentioned over hundred times in one page freaks me out, and that is why I avoided it at the first place. <span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•–• 12:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The legal requirement for attribution applies to the image page, and was the point of my remark about the image page; as I recall, you had said something about getting things uploaded but having not yet completed all the details that need to be completed on the image pages. One of the details needed is, not merely who uploaded the image, but, who took the picture and thus holds the copyright on it.  If there were a legal question raised, it would revolve around the identification on the image page of the copyright holder. Mentioning the photographer on the article page is traditional on en.wn, and is a separate issue from mentioning the name of an interviewer there.  (Some interviewers do mention their names in the article, most do not, and we generally encourage a style that describes the interviewer as "Wikinews" or somtimes "a Wikinews correspondent" or the like.)  The identity of the interviewer is usually quite clearly stated on the article collaboration page, the identity of the photographer on the image page; the two separate issues are mention of those things in the article — where there is an asymmetry, as the interviewer would be identified in the body of the article, whereas the photographer would be mentioned in an image caption, which has subtly different status than the article body proper so that mention in the image credit is different from mention in the article body. I'm figuring this is a technical issue, so we might be able to work out what we want to do and implement it even after the 24-hour archiving horizon, which applies to content.  It would of course be nice if we could have it resolved before then, but I'd like us to concentrate on being sure of what we want to do without feeling rushed by that deadline.  --Pi zero (talk) 14:05, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

ArbCom draft
In recent days, user has used the WN:Water Cooler/proposals page to establish only my (user:acagastya) articles are published, and only Football articles are published. Instead of a "proposal", the user has tried to convert the project page into a rant/troll page. According to them, the review process is rigged, and frequently mentioned the main page had my articles. Looking at the statistics, my articles in 2017 accounts for ~34% of the total articles published; that is no way near monopoly or duopoly. Apart from User:Yngvadottir, I don't think there were any other users who wrote articles which could be published [I might be wrong -- I had semester end exams and then I was travelling, so I was super AFK]. It is difficult to explain Ottawahitech that articles not all articles in the review queue can be published, even if it appears to be okay for a newbie; and all articles published gets featured on the Main Page, which can only be replaced by the newer articles published on the project.

On a side note, Ottawahitech wants almost all of their articles to be userspaced without a valid explanation (they have been asked multiple times, but they never responded). Some of the articles they had requested for userspace had no useful text except a bunch of sources.

So, can the committee please decide what to do about this situation after going through the thread started by Ottawahitech? And also about their userspace request without explanation? 117.248.120.35 (talk) 10:09, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Aha! That came up in the talk about Mysterious dimming of Tabby's star .... User:Robertinventor also had the problem of the infobox image showing up. Putting the image before the infobox fixes this. There is no technical reason that the infobox needs to be first (that I am aware of). If we need to codify this in the Style guide, I think we should do so. Cheers, --SVTCobra 07:56, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * nope. The problem would not be solved by that. Moving the images before the article text begins is not always aesthetically pleasing. And not always necessary that the images will be before the text. It is better to have infobox immediately after the date template. Standardising is good since if we ever have to automate things, we would not want a mess. 117.198.188.35 (talk) 08:06, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it worked with the two articles we published today (well, now yesterday). The image was already at the top. Yes, moving images that belong in the middle of a long article would not be a good idea. Cheers, --SVTCobra 08:10, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

You can see the effect here in our article which has just passed review Mysterious dimming of Tabby's star likely due to space dust, not alien superstructures, say scientists, the image and infobox are to either side with the text in the middle, works well. It could also work to have an option to replace the image in the infobox with one appropriate to the article though it's fine as an image for an article without an image. One big advantage is for sharing on Facebook - by default with infobox first the source code has <meta property="og:image" content="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/ScoCen.jpg"/> This code forces anyone who shares the article on Facebook to use the infobox image for the share preview so that the image used to previeew the article in Facebook has to be the infobox image.

If you put an appropriate image before the infobox on the page but left aligned it makes no difference to the position of the infobox - also gives the reader an image to remember the article by - and the code alters to make this image the one shared on Facebook along with the article. It works so well on the page and in Facebook that I think it might be worth considering for style guides - because after all many articles do have images at the head of the page. Like, an optional suggestion rather than that you have to do it. At least, I'd vote for this as a style guide recommendation :).  you might be interested in this conversation too as one of the main collaborators on the article Robertinventor (talk) 02:55, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Suggestion, the recommendation could be that if another image belongs in the middle, to choose an image that sums up a central point of the intro para - in this case we had another image later in the article. Robertinventor (talk)

Thread:Comments:100 tons of ivory burned in Africa; estimated at $250 million on black market/Burning Ivory that's worth $250 Million on the black market...? How intelligent is this..??

It's amazing to me that the President of Kenya, DiCaprio, Sir Elton, Nicole...and all the other "Feel Good" crusaders would be so naive and or ignorant about basic economics..? If you destroy this amount of illegal goods, what does that do to the price of the remaining ivory???

Whether on the "hoof" or in the possession of those involved in this reprehensible trade, eliminating this much Ivory is just an invitation for more destruction.

Ivory is a finite resource...destroying this will just raise the price of the remaining Ivory available..and provide further financial incentive to poachers to slaughter these animals and the black market traders to raise the price and increase their profits.

It seems that if your business is music or entertainment or running a country, you would at least understand basic supply and demand..?? Wouldn't YOU..?? After all, this isn't a record or movie contract....just Economics 101!! At least Tanzania seems a little more realistic about how real-world markets work?

 * The category page was (understandably) moved, but the articles stay at the old name when a category page is moved. So I moved the page back, for now.

Sourcing
Seems there may be some misunderstanding on this. You need to provide a complete list of the sources from which you drew the information in a synthesis article. (There's also original reporting, but that requires even more documentation; it's an advanced technique.) We ask for at least two mutually independent, trust-worthy sources corroborating the focal event of a synthesis article, and recommend you select your sources and read them all before beginning to write. --Pi zero (talk) 00:44, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Major Colombian newspaper reveals Bogotá mayor does not hold claimed PhD degree/It has become famous for his inarticulate sentences and lack of coherent ideas

Although Enrique Penalosa is the establishment's protégé, which means that the official media is committed to present him in a good light, the public started to become suspicious as day after day his inarticulate sentences were making headlines in radio stations and social media. Some people started to wonder if this guy really had the superior education he claimed to have had in America and France, particularly his PhD at the University of Paris. One of the least glamourous experiences has been to hear Penalosa's constant depise for the opinions of experts and academics and anyone, everyone who criticises him in any matter.

The impact of the mayor's inability to articulate a sensible sentence has been such that Penalosa has become a sort of the nation's buffoon. The word penalosada, a portmanteau derived from his last name has become synonym of the Spanish word "bobada" (foolishness). There is hashtag [#penalosada] in twiter where people share comic and self-contradictory sentences written in imitation of the politician's style.

Here I present a selection of Panalosa's most polemic sentences:

“El diseño del metro lo hizo un funcionario del IDU lavándose los dientes”. December 12 of 2015 Translation: "The metro's design was made by an employee of the Urban Development Institute while brushing his teeth." He said this sentence to discard the design of an underground train line for Bogotá, a design that took 7 years and cost millions of dollars.

“La reserva es la única del mundo que no tiene árboles, son potreros”. January 16 of 2015 Translation: "It is the only natural reserve in the world without trees, it is just a grassland." He said this to justify his decision to release the land of a natural park for the construction of apartment buildings.

“La ETB es igual a la caja menor de un mes de una empresa de comunicaciones europea”. January 1 of 2016 Translation: "The Bogota Telephone Company is like the petty cash of a European communications company" He said this to justify the decision to sell the Bogotá Telephone Company.

“No hay estudio que lo sustente, pero creemos que hay muchas razones”. January 10 of 2016 Translation: "There are no studies to support it, but I believe there are many reasons." Penalosa said this as justification to replace the design of an underground train for his improvised design of an elevated metro.

“Haremos una vía que sea una especie de lamborghini o ferrari de los sistemas tipo transmilenio”. January 10 of 2016 Translation: "We will make a street that is a sort of Lamborgini or Ferrari of the Transmilenio bus." He said this to sell the idea that BRT is better than an underground.

“Transmilenio en la práctica hace lo mismo que el metro”. January 07 of 2016 Translation: "Transmilenio (bus system) in reality does the same as a metro (system)."

“Vamos a hacer para nuestra ciudad el mejor sistema de transporte público, para un país en vía de desarrollo”. January 04 of 2016 Translation: "We are going to make for our city the best public transport for a developing country." This was probably one of the most polemic sentences has ever said, as it reflects his intentions of making cheap improvisations, instead of building sustainable high quality systems.

“Si a uno lo insultan en la calle se desahogan, tienen esa posibilidad y eso es bueno en la democracia”. February 04 of 2016 Translation: "If they insult me on the street they unburden themselves, they have that chance and that's good for democracy"

“No hay nada más ineficiente que una empresa pública de aseo” January 07 of 2016 Translation: "There is nothing more inefficient than a public cleaning company."

“Trenes ligeros son juguetes muy costosos”. January 07 of 2016 Translation: "Light trains are very expensive toys."

“Todas las empresas de acueducto de Francia son privadas”. January 01 of 2016. Translation: "All the water companies of France are private."

Talk:Real Madrid edge Manchester City to reach fourteenth European Cup Final

Review of revision 4213026 [Not ready]
Hi. I added some sources to better reflect the events of the game. The third source is where I got the information about Real Madrid being in their 27th semi-final as well as Manchester City being in only their first. The updated sources and statistics from the game do show that for most of the game Real Madrid were on top. The attendance figure can be found in the form of a PDF from the first source on the bottom right-hand side of the page under Full-time report in the Press Kits. I hope that helps. --Handraulic (talk) 20:21, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I knew about the 27th/1st stuff; it was no problem. The first-leg stuff I didn't have, and still don't see (which will mean cutting it, at this point).  I should have thought of the press kit; checking that now.  Thanks.  --Pi zero (talk) 21:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Heh. Just found part of the first leg.  (Gee, that came out sounding peculiar.)  --Pi zero (talk) 21:34, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Template:Assistant/single-page

There is |documentation on a separate page.

Template:Assistant/single-page/doc

Usage
For a single-page assistant, call to this template at the bottom of the page, thus:

The single page should also use dialog/ifsupported to behave gracefully when accessed directly as a wiki page rather than through verb.

For pages in a multi-page assistant, see assistant/viewable. For templates in an assistant, see assistant/template. For non-template pages documenting an assistant, see assistant/documentation. For dialog edit pages in an assistant, see assistant/form.

Wikinews:Assistant:Breadboard/doc

This assistant simulates viewing given wiki markup with given incoming dialog parameters. The view, if shown, appears first on the page, followed by the following interactive elements:
 * An update view button. Clicking this button causes the page to be redisplayed using the current values of the input boxes.  The view appears at the top of the page, above the update button.
 * A large textarea input box for the markup to be viewed.
 * A text input box for the name of the page on which the markup appears to be located, which determines the behavior of magic words such as.
 * A table of input boxes for dialog parameters. As of this writing, up to 14 dialog parameters are supported.  As long as the maximum supported number has not yet been reached, one empty row is provided in the table for addition of another dialog parameter.  Names use text input boxes, values use textarea input boxes.

Limitations
The breadboard faithfully reproduces a limitation of incoming dialog parameters: it only substitutes for a template parameter if it does not contain any nested curly braces. Thus, given markup, incoming dialog parameter   would be substituted for, but not incoming dialog parameter.

At this writing, the breadboard makes no attempt to reproduce reserved dialog parameters, nor the behaviors of dialog/init or dialog/preview, and signatures (three, four, or five tildes) are not processed.

If there are floats in the view, they may extend below the update view button. This can be prevented by calling clear at the end of the viewed markup.

Template:Assistant:Breadboard/parameters/doc

Usage
This template is used by the assistant to display a table of dialog parameters, one dialog parameter per row. Each dialog parameter with a non-blank name is shown, and one unused (i.e., blank-named) dialog parameter is displayed at the bottom of the table (if there are any unused dialog parameters available). Unused dialog parameter selection is via /free index. As of this writing, the assistant supports up to 14 dialog parameters.


text:
Template:Assistant:Breadboard/free index/doc

Usage
This template is used by the assistant to select an unused dialog-parameter index. It returns the 1-based index of its first blank parameter, up to 14 as of this writing, or blank if none of them are non-blank.

NASA releases first topographical map of Mercury

May 9, 2016

On Friday, the US (NASA) released the first ever global  (DEM) of.

The DEM was created using data gathered by NASA's (MESSENGER) spacecraft, including over 100,000 photographs, and shows a variety of Mercury's  including the planet's highest and lowest points. MESSENGER principal investigator said they hope the information will be used to investigate Mercury's geological history. The highest elevation on Mercury is at 4.48 (2.78 ) above Mercury’s average elevation, located just south of the  in some of Mercury’s oldest terrain. The lowest elevation, at 5.38 kilometers (3.34 miles) below Mercury’s average, is found on the floor of the, a double-ring impact basin suspected to host some of the most recent volcanic deposits on the planet.

The MESSENGER spacecraft was launched in 2004 to study Mercury, including its, , and. MESSENGER began orbiting Mercury in March 2011, becoming the first spacecraft to do so. In April 2015, having completed its mission, MESSENGER dropped out of orbit and impacted the surface of Mercury.

Talk:NASA releases first topographical map of Mercury

It is hoped that
There are two problems with that sentence, stylistically: It's in passive voice, which isn't a sin in itself but tends to interfere with news writing; its grammatical function is to allow omission of the subject, which is generally bad in news writing where the subject is likely to be important information, and it also produces less forceful text. And it's asserting a state of mind as an objective fact, whereas subjective stuff like that should be attributed (e.g. so-and-so of NASA said, etc.). --Pi zero (talk) 13:51, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Template:Assistant/extract section/doc

Usage
This template extracts the content of a section of a web page. Two required unnamed parameters are the name of the page and the name of the section. Wikilink markup is stripped from the section headings for comparison with the unnamed parameter.

Subsections are included in the extract. The section heading at the top of the section is not included unless optional named parameter  is non-blank. Categorization is filtered out, so extracted material won't categorize the transcluding page.

If a third unnamed parameter is provided, extraction does not stop at the end of the section named by the second parameter, but instead continues until-and-unless the section named by the third unnamed parameter.

Internals
Precisely, extraction starts at the first section heading named by the second unnamed parameter. If the third unnamed parameter is blank or omitted, inclusion stops at the next section heading that is no deeper than the start heading. If the third unnamed parameter is non-blank, inclusion continues until the next section heading that is no deeper than the start heading and is named by either the second or third parameter.

Political columnist apologises after mocking disabled broadcaster Andrew Marr

May 10, 2016

, a UK political columnist and sketch writer, publicly apologized yesterday after he mocked disabled broadcaster. Letts was reviewing former BBC business editor 's new ITV television show for the Daily Mail on Sunday when he made the comments. In his column he said Marr, who suffered a stroke in 2013, was like "Captain Hop-Along, growling away on BBC One, throwing his arm about like a tipsy conductor".

Letts posted an apology on his page after a critical article by, which appeared in The Guardian. Greenslade said "I don't want to come off all namby-pamby. I understand that no-one should be beyond criticism and that Letts was exercising his right to press freedom. But really Quentin, that was a graceless remark."

The apology tweet read, "I fear my sketch reference to the admirable Marr today was horrid. Apologies to all concerned and upset." Letts also replied directly to Greenslade, who updated his article. Letts said "Perhaps I should have been more cautious but I hope that Andrew will forgive it. He has been equally teasing about himself in my company. I admire him." He also added he believes Marr's stroke had "made him more watchable than he was beforehand."

Criticism also came from Marr's wife and. Eleven complaints were filed in relation to the comments to the according to a BBC statement.

Andrew Marr drew in 1.6 million viewers on Sunday, significantly more than Peston's debut with 166,000 viewers tuning in, according to The Guardian. Peston left the BBC to become ITV's political editor in 2015.
