Obama surprises 'brother' Joe Biden with Presidential Medal of Freedom

January 13, 2017

Yesterday afternoon United States President Barack Obama surprised his two-term vice president Joe Biden in the White House State Dining Room with the country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom with distinction. In a ceremony described by the press as highly emotional, Obama cited his choice of Biden as a running mate as one of the best of his career and described their few arguments as the sort that brothers would have and Biden himself as "a lion of American history."

This made only the fourth time in U.S. history that this modified form, the Medal of Freedom with distinction, has been awarded. Biden joined Pope John Paul II, then-former President Ronald Reagan, and former General and Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Early during the ceremony, Obama noted comically "this also gives the Internet one last chance to talk about our '.'" The "#BROTUS," a play on the acronym for President of the United States (POTUS), was a common sight on Twitter in 2016.

Putin calls US troops in Poland 'a threat'

January 13, 2017

Reports yesterday indicated Russian President Vladimir Putin views the arrival of US troops in Poland as "a threat". Earlier this week around a quarter of 4,000 troops earmarked for Poland crossed into Poland from Germany. Also included were trucks, tanks, and s. Many are set to be based in, where Polish Prime Minister and Defence Minister  are scheduled to ceremonially welcome them tomorrow.

Part of, the deployment is set to include tanks, s, and. It is the largest deployment of US troops to Europe since the ended. The presence of US assets "threatens our interests and our security," according to Putin. "It's a third country that is building up its military presence on our borders in Europe," he told the BBC. "It isn't even a European country."

Outgoing US President Barack Obama authorised the move in response to Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014, in which was annexed. It was agreed at a NATO summit in last year. Tomasz Szatkowski, Polish Undersecretary of State for Defence, noted "large exercises" by Russia near the Polish border as another reason the troops were needed.

Szatkowski also mentioned Russian action in Ukraine, which he called "aggressive actions in our vicinity". Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Mechkov, however, said the incoming troops and vehicles were a "factor destabilising European security". Russian Presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov echoed Putin, saying the troops are "a threat. These actions threaten our interests, our security. Especially as it concerns a third party building up its military presence near our borders. It's [the US], not even a European state."

Ties between Russia and the US are strained. Last month the US expelled 35 Russian diplomats accused of espionage, and sanctioned Russian intelligence agencies. This was in response to a CIA report issued two weeks earlier that concluded the Russian government hacked servers belonging to the U.S. Republican and Democratic parties. The CIA report said this was to turn the 2016 presidential election toward president-elect Donald Trump.

Since Szydło took office in 2015, Poland has also suffered a decline in relations with Russia. Within a week of the Law and Justice Party coming to power in Poland, it removed web pages featuring the results of an investigation into the in Russia in 2010. The cause of the crash, which killed dignitaries including Polish President, is disputed.

A Polish probe concluded the Polish pilots put safety second in their determination to get their passengers through dense fog. It also placed blame on Russian controllers for failing to divert the aircraft. Russian investigators blamed the pilots alone. The flight was carrying high-profile political figures to attend a ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the, when thousands of Polish prisoners of war and civilians were killed by the.

Russia has refused to return wreckage, encouraging conspiracy theories about the crash. In 2015 Szydło said in response to the vanishing investigatory findings "the website has been closed and will simply remain closed."

In recent months tension has mounted further as Russia deployed missiles to. The enclave, Russian territory lying between Poland and Lithuania, now has nuclear-capable and anti-ship. NATO considered these deployments a response to its own.

The US troops are set to rotate around the Balkans every nine months. Other planned host nations are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. The rotation is due to a treaty with Russia preventing permanent deployment to any particular territory.

Russia-US relations face a potential thaw, as President-Elect Donald Trump moves towards office on January 20. Trump has made clear he intends to seek a closer relationship with Russia. , proposed Secretary of State for the Trump administration, implied the troops would be staying put. He said Russia had claimed Crimea "as an act of force" requiring the US to offer "a proportional show of force".

Trump's proposed Secretary of Defense,, backed NATO before the US Senate yesterday. He said Putin aimed to weaken the NATO alliance. , Polish foreign minister, earlier this week remarked any improvement in US-Russia relations should avoid harming Polish interests.

Super Bowl LI
This is an encyclopedic article; it doesn't belong here. Technically, it could have been speedy-deleted, but since that's kind of abrupt I instead put a tag on it with links to pages you should read to understand the project better. WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing, and Writing an article. --Pi zero (talk) 15:30, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

@--Pi zero Thank you for helping me out understand the things that need to be done to my article. Thank you. --Tillbrian 2.0 (talk)

 * I don't think you've got the sense of it, yet. You've got an article with an encyclopedic name (a noun — the headline of a news article is a sentence, with a verb), the text says something will happen (a news article is about something that happened in the recent past), and there are no sources listed at all (a news article has documentation with which everything in it can be verified).  I'm trying to be helpful about this, but at some point I do expect to delete the page as out-of-scope for a news project.  --Pi zero (talk) 19:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

@--Pi zero I promise you that there will be sources and everything will be cleaned up soon. --Tillbrian 2.0 (talk)

 * It's still being presented as an article saying that something is going to happen. That's not preparing a story; a prepared story says "such-and-such happens", but such-and-such hasn't happened yet.  This says "such-and-such is going to happen", which is clearly meant to be read before the fact, and in that form it is unpublishable; essentially it's trying to use Wikinews as a blog.  Frankly, if something actually happened — like, the game got played – I don't think what's on that page atm would be of any help in writing an article about the actual event; I think it might well get in the way of writing an article about the actual event, and make it less likely we would end up with an article about the actual event.  So I'm leaning strongly toward speedy-deleting it.  An article can be written from scratch when there is something to write about.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

@--Pi zero Alright go ahead and Delete it and once the game happens then maybe I'll re- write it. Most likely not, but whatever happens. I just don't know what else to do anymore I've read a lot of your rules and I can't just figure it out anymore. --Tillbrian 2.0 (talk)

 * I'm sorry our documentation isn't working for you. It seems as if the difficulty might be over the concept of a focal event.  Each news article is built around some specific thing that happened in the recent past (say, a day or two ago).  For example, if something is announced on Tuesday — something that was not publicly known before that — the announcement might be used as the focal event for a news article.  We've got plenty of published articles in our archives where the focal event is an announcement.  If it's announced (for the first time) that a game will be played on such-and-such a day, that could be news (assuming it's of interest, which is no problem in this case).  It's only news for a little while, though, while it's still fresh.  The focus can't be something that hasn't happened yet; in fact, we don't even say, incidentally in an article about something that has happened, that something is going to happen, because we don't know the future.  Okay, we do know that, as I write this, tomorrow will be Friday, January 27; but if a game, or a meeting, or a press conference is scheduled to take place tomorrow, we can only report that it's scheduled to take place tomorrow, not that it is definitely going to happen.  (It might not happen as scheduled; all kinds of things might prevent it from happening as scheduled, some of them dire and some of them just unexpected.)  --Pi zero (talk) 14:48, 26 January 2017 (UTC

@--Pi zero That clears things up for me. So thanks

 * In all seriousness, an article on Wikinews needs to be a news article rather than an encyclopedia article. In addition to WN:PILLARS and WN:WRITE, which I've recommended before, you might also find WN:Article wizard of interest.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:50, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

@--Pi zero I understand.--Tillbrian 2.0 (talk)

Thread:Comments:Artist who changed Hollywood sign to 'Hollyweed' surrenders to authorities/hollywood's true identity HOLLYWEED/reply

City Councilman David Ryu said in a statement. "Pranks of this nature deplete the resources of our valuable public safety personnel".

While factually accurate, this guy needs to lighten up. I'm assuming his preference is mindless worker drones who never challenge authority? If he wants to reserve valuable public safety personnel for only the large problems, he should work to changing how they react to harmless acts of expression such as this. It is refreshing that the artist chose to use a medium that was easily reversible and not graffiti, also he turned himself in, accepting the consequences (for notoriety?). The logistics of accomplishing the task are also impressive.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce claims trademark rights over the sign's image and demands license fees for commercial use. They might have a case for financial compensation against Zachary Cole Fernandez should he profit from the prank, although I would think that would also be a waste of their resources.

Man charged over motorway bridge collapse in Kent, England

January 14, 2017

Reports yesterday indicated a 63-year-old man has been charged in connection with the collapse of a pedestrian bridge onto the motorway in Kent, England last year. The unidentified man has been summonsed to appear at Maidstone Magistrates' Court on February 17. As well as dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving he also faces three counts of criminal damage covering the bridge and damaged vehicles. The nonfatal accident left an elderly motorcyclist with broken ribs after he came off his bike avoiding the 170 of falling debris.

Two lorries were partially crushed by the collapse, which was triggered when a digger on the back of a lorry struck the concrete bridge. Kent Police continue to investigate; have said they will await that probe's results before deciding if they will launch their own.

The August 27 collapse caused millions of of damage, and closed a major route for more than 24 hours. Police sent several vehicles to the scene and 25 firefighters attended. An air ambulance also responded.

Workers with cranes toiled overnight to clear the road, which provides access to London as well as the and. The road was again closed one week later to collect the fallen bridge sections, which were sent to Highways England depots for investigators.

The collapse occurred on one of the busiest days of the year for the local road network.

Geneticists produce laser-activated killer mice

January 15, 2017

In research released on Thursday in , scientists from Yale University report they managed to trigger instinctive hunting behavior in mice using, a manner of priming cells within an organism's brain to switch on when exposed to a laser. The research team used an engineered virus to target and alter specific sets of. Then they fitted the mice with intracranial optical fibers so they could expose their brains to blue light at will. The system excited two different sets of neurons, both located in the, which is the part of the brain associated with emotion and aggression. One set stimulated prey pursuit behavior, such as stalking, and the other stimulated the animal to use its jaw and neck muscles. When exposed to the laser, the primed mice would first stalk and then pounce on and bite any object in their enclosure, even objects without any food scent or prey value, like sticks and bottle caps.

"We'd turn the laser on and they'd jump on an object, hold it with their paws and intensively bite it as if they were trying to capture and kill it," says lead investigator and Yale Associated Professor of Psychiatry. The mice behaved normally at all other times.

The work was inspired by Araujo's desire to study natural feeding behavior, as opposed to animals passively munching on food pellets. The study covered many parts of the brain already known to be associated with feeding, and the results suggested some areas are associated with both hunting and feeding and others only with just one behavior. Stimulation of the (PAG) portion of the brain controlled stalking and stimulation of the  controlled biting. The researchers say this shows the amygdala is likely to control hunting and biting behavior across many or all jawed vertebrates. The experiments were funded by national research organizations in the United States and China and the government of Brazil.

The findings inspired comparisons by the research team and the press to zombies from , especially since the behavior was more pronounced when the animals were hungry. Researchers noted the subjects did not attack any of the other mice. The scientists say this shows they were stimulating predatory behavior specifically and not making the animals generally more angry or aggressive.

However, the study did not state whether the laser resembled the light of a full moon.

Who was inspired to make the comparison? The scientists doing the study? The press? This might be easy to fix, but it does need fixing; without specifying who did the comparing, it's editorializing.

Thread:Comments:Man charged over motorway bridge collapse in Kent, England/HSE

I feel the need to start with the obvious: This is horrifying, and so close to a major disaster. One cannot imagine being inside the lorry that caught the brunt of the impact; the cab is heavily damaged, and clearly the driver was lucky to have had enough inertia to get the part he was in past the bridge before the full weight crushed through his cab. The motorcyclist's life, I daresay, flashed before his eyes. The idea of being in a car caught under debris, or a pedestrian feeling the bridge disappear from under you, is unimaginable.

The emergency response speaks for itself: They expected a major, mass-casualty disaster. They expected trapped victims and fatalities.

With all that said, I must ask where the Health and Safety Executive are in all this. Are they involved at all? I found them curiously absent from the sources.

Even if the bridge came down in a crash, the story does not end there. Was the bridge structurally sound? Was it built and maintained correctly? Was the design adequate? The answer to all of these, of course, is quite possibly; probably, even. It is not an absolute, however.

One does not watch 170 tons of bridge hit a busy motorway and just assume the bridge was fine. The police may well be best placed to lead a joint investigation, and I confess my knowledge is limited on how the arrangements for such things work. I would have thought, however, the specialism of the HSE ought to be represented in some capacity.

Polish PM Beata Szydło welcomes US troops

January 16, 2017

Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydło on Saturday headed a ceremony in the Western town of  welcoming US troops. The troops are in the region in response to Russian action in Ukraine and began arriving earlier this week. "Each Polish family must feel safe", Szydło said. "It is the duty of the Polish state, the government to provide security. Today we have made a big step in this direction". Outgoing US President Barack Obama authorised the move in response to Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014, in which was annexed. It was agreed at a NATO summit in last year.

Defence Minister was also at the ceremony. "We have waited for you for a very long time," he told the troops. "We waited for decades, sometimes feeling we had been left alone, sometimes almost losing hope, sometimes feeling that we were the only one who protected civilization from aggression that came from the east."

Hundreds of members of the public attended the ceremony, near the German border; the soldiers crossed in from Germany. Part of, the deployment is set to include tanks, s, and. It is the largest deployment of US troops to Europe since the ended.

The US troops are set to rotate around the region every nine months. Other planned host nations are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. The rotation is due to a treaty with Russia preventing permanent deployment to any particular territory. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Mechkov said the incoming troops and vehicles were a "factor destabilising European security". The presence of US assets "threatens our interests and our security," according to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin's administration described the deployment as "a threat".

Polish relations with Russia are strained. Since the annexation of Crimea, Russia has recently been increasing its military presence in. The enclave, Russian territory lying between Poland and Lithuania, now has nuclear-capable and anti-ship.

US–Russian relations are also strained. Last month the US expelled 35 Russian diplomats accused of espionage, and sanctioned Russian intelligence agencies. This was in response to a CIA report issued two weeks earlier that concluded the Russian government hacked servers belonging to the U.S. Republican and Democratic parties. The CIA report said this was to turn the 2016 presidential election toward president-elect Donald Trump.

Trump has indicated he seeks closer ties with Russia. He takes power this month. "This is America's most capable fighting force: A combat-ready, highly trained US armoured brigade, with our most advanced equipment and weaponry," according to Paul James, US ambassador to Poland. James, who attended the ceremony, said the troops represent "America's iron-clad commitment to honor our NATO treaty obligation to defend our NATO allies."

In a  interview published on Friday Trump indicated he wishes to maintain sanctions against Russia "at least for a period of time," but ultimately remove them as relations improve. "If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?" he asked. Outgoing CIA director John Brennan said yesterday Trump "doesn't understand Russia" and expressed concerns the US President-Elect's spontaneity would damage US national security.

A total of around 4,000 troops are pledged to the region.

Come to think, it does strike an odd note, for me anyway, that HE is waiting for the result of the police investigation before deciding whether to do their own. I could maybe see them having some administrative reason for wanting the police conclusions to start them out on a right footing, but, yeah, it's hard to see how one could reasonably not ask careful questions about the thing. The sheer scope of what could have happened is appalling.

At least 26 killed in another Brazil prison riot

January 17, 2017

In the latest of a series of prison riots in prisons across Brazil, dozens of inmates, mostly rival gangs, were reported dead at the State Penitentiary of Alcaçuz, a state prison located in, the capital of the Brazilian state,. Reports vary but, as of Sunday, the death toll may have reached 26. According to the BBC, this figure is triple the initial reports. Prison authorities said that some victims were decapitated. Prison coordinator Zemilton Silva witnessed this happen to three men, and forensic report that there have been more.

The and state-run news outlet  said the latest riot started at around 5:00 p.m., local time, on Saturday. It continued until the security forces quelled the riot on Sunday at around 7:15 a.m..

(AFP) and Rio de Janeiro newspaper  report that the gang members of the (PCC) and  were the latest riot's participants. CNN reports that its participants were PCC and. The gangs had been housed in separate parts of the prison. Six of the ringleaders have been captured and sent to other facilities. Like other riots this year, overcrowding may have contributed to the latest riot. According to Brazil's justice department, the Alcaçuz prison houses more than 1,000 inmates on a capacity of 620.

Reports about authorities killed or injured in the riots are not yet confirmed, says the BBC.

O Globo also reported that one inmate attempted to escape but was quickly recaptured. No other inmates have been reported missing, but nine injured inmates were sent to hospital.

O Globo says the cause of the riot was drug-related. PCC and Comando Vermelho cooperated on drug trade from mid-1990s to reportedly summer 2016. Their split led Comando Vermelho to team up with five other gang organizations "to counter the PCC's growing might."

The Alcaçuz prison riot is part of a series of Brazilian prison riots this year. At least 100 inmates died in this month's previous two riots, one in and another in. The Amazonas prison riot on January 1–2 resulted in at least 56 killed inmates, of whom many were beheaded and dismembered. The Roraima riot on January 6 resulted in at least 33 killed, of whom many were disembowelled.

In the wake of this year's riots, the Brazilian President announced to Reuters yesterday a plan, under joint cooperation of state and federal governments, to build nearly thirty prisons by 2018, including "five  to house the most violent convicts," and to create intelligence units in effort to counter the influence of powerful inmates. Temer announced more than one billion (US$309 million) as the budget of the plan.

However, human rights activists and experts were skeptical about building more prisons. Camila Nunes, a sociologist of the, told the AFP "medium- and long-term policies to reduce the vulnerability of certain social groups [and] to prioritize prevention rather than repression" are needed.

Reuters reported, minister of the Justice Department, recently authorized the state of to spend 13 million Brazilian reals to upgrade and expand prison equipment. De Moraes promised to prevent more prison riots by increasing funds and prison security.

Meanwhile, Luiz Alberto Cartaxo, the prison chief for the southern, said an explosion on Sunday broke a guarding wall of a prison, prompting at least 21 inmates to escape. Cartaxo also reported that two other inmates were killed by police during their escape attempt.

A 2014 report by Brazil's justice department analyzes the statistics of the nation's prison population. The country has more than 622,000 inmates, mostly young black men, exceeding the capacity by at least 50 percent. Brazil is placed fourth in the world's largest prison population, surpassed by the respective numbers of those in the, in , and in.

Talk:At least 26 killed in another Brazil prison riot

Via
What's the relationship between UPI and the ministry of justice? "Via" means "through." "The president reported via her aide" means the aide is the one who actually spoke and pres told him what to say. It seems more likely that the UPI would report what Ministry of Justice said than the other way around.

It's kind of confusing to read that "Press Org. reports X via govt. organization." It does not seem to me to be necessary to double attribute information in this way. It seems that it would not be necessary to say in visible text which reliable source provided the information to us. If your goal is to speed up Wikinews' review process by telling the Wikireviewer where everything came from, I've had good results with embedding that information in the Wikicode like this: Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:25, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This article is going to set a good example for WN:Attribution, I believe. Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  13:28, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * According to WN: Attribution, the point of saying which news organization provided a given quote or fact is to give credit to their reporting work. It seems that this would be appropriate in cases in which the news organization had direct contact with the ultimate source but not when that news organization is just repeating someone else's news report.  For example, I would think it appropriate to credit Agencia Brasil in-text for the information about the riot but not CNN for telling us what Agencia Brasil said, even though we got it from CNN.  For that, CNN gets its place in the source list but not in the text. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:49, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Cargo plane crashes in Kyrgyzstan, killing over 30

January 18, 2017

A Turkish cargo plane crashed just outside of in Kyrgyzstan en route from Hong Kong to İstanbul early on Monday morning. The crash destroyed approximately fifteen buildings and resulted in the death of over 30 people, including four crew members, according to the Kyrgyz emergencies ministry.

A Kyrgyz official tentatively ascribed the crash to pilot error. The conditions at the time were foggy. The plane was supposed to make a stop-over at Manas Airport on its way to İstanbul.

The crash occurred in the village of, Kyrgyzstan, while many people were still sleeping. The casualties are reported to have included children. Despite the fog, other flights are reported to have landed safely leading up to the collision. Following the collision Manas airport was closed, and yesterday was declared a day of national mourning in Kyrgyzstan. The flight was operated by.

Manas international airport is located outside the capital city of, and has been the location of other fatal crashes. These include a en route to Iran, which crashed shortly after take-off in 2008, killing 68 of at least 90 people on board.

Foreign lang sources
Per WN:CS, foreign language sources "...severely restrict the pool of potential reviewing editors. Non-English sources should be restricted to those absolutely essential..." I doubt we have any active reviewers who can read Turkish or Kyrgyz sources, sadly, and I also very much doubt it's impossible to find good English-language coverage of what is a major disaster. I'd come here wanting to review or expand, but find I cannot do the former and the latter may well go stale on the review queue based on the foreign-language sources.

In an ideal future we would have reviewers capable of understanding all manner of languages. We are, unfortunately, a long way from that. BRS (Talk)   (Contribs) 16:25, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I just added a ton more English-language sources. Hth! :) —Firespeaker (talk) 21:03, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Instrad of adding "a ton more English", just add those which can help verify the story without requiring the foreign language to be used. Adding so many sources would consume lot for time for a small article like this. Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  21:13, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * And, LMGTFY, really? It is not the job of reviewers to find sources for someones articles. If they do, they might not be able to review the article since they would no longer be an uninvolved reviewer. Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  21:15, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the Welcome!—Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * BBC and Al Jazeera's source can verify the majority of the story. What I could not verify was
 * BBC source says «Deputy PM Muhammetkaly Abulgaziev said on state TV: "According to preliminary information, the plane crashed due to a pilot error."» —Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I removed this material that I had initially found in a local source, as I couldn't verify it in an English-language source. —Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * BBC source says "There was fog at the time but authorities said other planes had landed successfully before the crash" —Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Almost every English-language source says that. —Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I linked to the other news story on wikinews; see the sources cited there (is that how this is done?). —Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I would say, remove all those sources which were added just to tell that there are English news sources to write about it, and list only those sources which can help in the verification of the whole story. Adding a bulk of sources just does not work. Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  21:28, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * They all verify different aspects of it at this point. I was told there were too few English-language sources and now there are too many.  So what's the magic number? —Firespeaker (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * There's no formula; there are various principles, sometimes there's tension between them. I'm honestly surprised to see such subtle sourcing issues coming up on a first article here.  --Pi zero (talk) 00:38, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you share some of the principles? —Firespeaker (talk) 05:19, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * "Manas international airport is located outside the capital city of Bishkek, and has been the location of other fatal crashes. These include a Boeing 737 en route to Iran, which crashed shortly after take-off in 2008, killing 68 of the over 90 people on board." Since you are using "and", and I can not find some part of it, I would say that I did not find the entire thing because Judy saying a part would make it meaningless. If BBC has the information, why not delist all the unnecessary sources? Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  03:52, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm confused why you guys are surprised. And I'm confused why you needed to remove most of the sources, including one of the most complete ones.  And I'm confused about what I still need to do to make the article publishable. —Firespeaker (talk) 05:18, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not a good practice to list the sources which were not used to write the story. Since BBC can verify most of the information, as you have pointed out, I chose BBC to keep in the list. As the history indicates, you just added the English sources, left a LMGTFY link on the talk page, but did not modify the content, it is likely that you did not use the source to prepare the story. Since Wikinews is not Wikipedia, adding one more source saying the same stuff does not help. At Wikipedia, the ref's tells us that this piece of information can be found at these links. On Wikinews, each source is used for the verification of the story, and what I felt after reading the English sources, yesterday, is most of the sources say the same thing. BBC has longer story, and Al Jazeera has a pretty good article. (NYTimes is paywalled, and I need to clear cache and delete cookies to read the article) Agastya Chandrakant   ⚽ 🏆 🎾 🎬 🎤 📰  05:50, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That addresses the 2nd thing I was confused about, but not the others. —Firespeaker (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is anything which can prevent it for publishing (if the copyright, NPOV, Style and verifiability is not a problem). I don't know in what context do you think we are surprised.

The first commenter here, BRS who started the thread, is an authorized reviewer, and quoted from a policy page. I am an authorized reviewer. AGastya is making a sincere effort to be helpful; no, he's not an authorized reviewer. I think AGastya may be discovering something I've been aware of for some time: if some particular point of policy/practice isn't already elegantly articulated in our documentation, we probably don't yet know how to explain it succinctly. What happens with these issues is, each time they come up in a review, the reviewer thinks them through and, if they're central to the review outcome (especially if that outcome is "not ready"), the reviewer then attempts to explain in comments on the review template. Over time, probably many years, our practices get honed and we slowly learn what explanations work and what don't. And then eventually we hope to find time, between reviews, to create an essay explaining things. Such an essay, once created, is just the tip of an iceberg reaching well back into the history of the project, notwithstanding when and by whom the essay was created. We may indeed be coming close to ready to spawn an essay on use of non-English sources.

A few points on what to avoid:
 * Avoid using non-English sources in the first place unless there's a good reason. Information not available in English might be a good reason, but don't then rely on the non-English source for more than necessary, and it's probably good to provide a note on the talk page explaining what specifically it's used for.  Understand what the problem is:  non-English sources are almost always in a language the reviewer isn't fluent in (and may be completely clueless about), and automatic translators are astoundingly bad; they sometimes get basic meaning wrong, and are sure to lose the nuances/overtones that are an essential part of what a reviewer needs to get at.  The more limited, and the more objective, the information being taken from the non-English source, the better; the reporter had better have some modest degree of fluency in the source language (rather than relying on automatic translation themselves), and the reporter and reviewer both have to exercise good judgement in recognizing when there's likely to be a problem.  Sometimes we do use non-English sources to good effect; a simple but rewarding example is where we provide an English-translation direct quote and then also provide the non-English original so readers can assess the translation for themselves (we've a template for that, translated quote), and sometimes we can draw on non-English sources for quotes that simply aren't available elsewhere in the English press.
 * (Btw, re the horrors of automatic translation, I somewhat recall a case where automatic translation from a non-Indo-European source language produced an assertion that a high official of a country (Prime Minister, maybe?) had beheaded someone, when as best I could tell on intensive study the source was saying that one or the other of them — I'm not sure I was ever able to tell which with certainty — had a head cold. There are things a reviewer can do to get extra milage out of automatic translation of a given passage, involving dictionaries, and experiments with running the automatic translator on many different fragments of the passage, and reasoning; it's not that hard to spend huge amounts of time studying a single sentence that way, with mixed results.)

Keep in mind, the amount of volunteer labor needed to review articles is a bottleneck for us (yes there's a long-term plan to alleviate the problem; it's been underway for several years so far); that is, for instance, why this article hasn't been reviewed yet. --Pi zero (talk) 14:01, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If a source wasn't actually drawn on to write the article, only add it if needed to help with corroboration (two-source rule or, in this case, facts hard to extract with confidence from foreign sources). And, of course, document on the talk page that that's why you're adding it (or document it in embedded html comments in the article markup, and note on the talk page that you're doing that).  Keep in mind, whenever adding any source, that there should be some benefit to the article from it because the volunteer labor required to review the article goes up with each source added.
 * If a source was drawn on to write the article, don't remove it, or note on the talk page what was removed (it matters what was used, even if we do draw on other sources for corroboration).

Cargo plane crashes in Kyrgyzstan, killing over 30
Published. Congrats! The first article or few are generally the most difficult, as one is learning everything at once, trying to clamber up our initial learning curve; it's not at all uncommon for the first article (or more) to be a major learning experience but not make it to publication. Well done. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 01:22, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I came out of the experience feeling like my efforts would be better focused on contributions to Wikipedia.  Wikinews isn't quite what I thought it was, and I'm a little irked at how non-English-language sources are treated (though I do understand the reason).  I'll try to keep an open mind about contributing in the future but it probably won't happen again soon.
 * No problem. Some folks try several projects to work out where they feel is right for them; Wikinews is most right for me, I've met folks for whom Wiktionary or Wikisource is home, and presumably every project has its natives.  And some people have secondary projects, too (case in point, I'm also an admin on Wikibooks).  If you know more now about Wikinews, and can make more informed decisions about when it's the right tool for the job, so much the better.  Cheers.  --Pi zero (talk) 04:38, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Former NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan dies aged 82

January 18, 2017

, former NASA astronaut and the most recent human to walk on the Moon, died on Monday aged 82, according to a NASA statement. Cernan, who commanded the mission to the Moon in 1972, was in Houston, Texas, at the time of his death.

Cernan, who was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 14, 1934, earned engineering degrees from in 1956 and the  in 1963. He was an aviator in the and logged more than 200 landings on aircraft carriers before becoming an astronaut in 1963. He flew in space for the first time aboard in 1966. In 1969 Cernan flew aboard, a flight to the Moon that rehearsed a descent but purposefully did not land in preparation for the landing. Cernan's final flight into space was as commander of, the final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program, in which he spent three days exploring the lunar surface along with.

Following Apollo 17, Cernan worked on the project before retiring from NASA and the Navy in 1976. In his later years he became an executive and consultant, wrote an autobiography, and advocated for returning to the Moon along with Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the Moon, who died in 2012.

"Truly, America has lost a patriot and pioneer who helped shape our country's bold ambitions to do things that humankind had never before achieved," NASA Administrator said in a statement.

 * About a dozen wikis now have numerical sorting in categories. If your wiki wants numerical sorting in categories you can ask for it.
 * Some wikis that want numerical sorting in categories can also ask to use UCA to sort categories. The biggest difference is that characters with diacritics will be sorted together. For example, for most languages Ä will be sorted with A instead of at the end of the alphabet. This is not true for languages that have Ä as a character in their alphabet. Wikis that already use UCA are listed on Meta. Languages that can use UCA are listed on MediaWiki.org. You can test it.

Tech News: 2016-47

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * Administrators, bureaucrats, oversighters and checkusers can now use two-factor authentication. This makes their Wikimedia accounts more secure. This can be turned on in Special:Preferences. There are discussions on how to best turn it on for everyone.
 * You can now search for file properties. For example you can search for media type, how big a file is or what resolution it has.
 * The latest Collaboration team products newsletter has been published. It has more details about their work than Tech News has.

Problems
 * A hacker group is hacking Wikimedia accounts. They can probably do this because users have the same passwords on Wikimedia wikis as on other sites. Please have a password you use only on the Wikimedia wikis and nowhere else. This is especially important for administrators, bureaucrats, oversighters and checkusers. These users can also turn on two-factor authentication.

Changes this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
 * RevisionSlider will be a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia. This will happen on 22 November. It will come to other wikis later.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 22 November at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * It will be possible to do cross-wiki search. The developers who work on this are looking for communities that want to test this.
 * Hovercards will leave the beta stage. The Wikimedia Foundation Reading Web team wants communities to set Hovercards as a default option for readers who are not logged in. Communities that are interested can say so on the Hovercards talk page.

 * When you use Content Translation to adapt a template to a new translation it will work differently. You can adapt big templates such as infoboxes.
