Talk:North Korea to send head of state to South Korea for Olympics

Kim Yong-nam
It looks as if, supposing the current article passes, we may have three published articles about Kim Yong-nam. Which raises the question of whether it ought to be Kim Yong-nam or Kim Yong Nam. I distinctly remember we investigated this question over Kim Jong Nam; my shaky memory is that (notwithstanding the advice at w:Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean)) South Korean convention would write Yong-nam while North Korean convention would write Yong Nam; but I don't know where we discussed this. ( Do you recall this discussion, or was it before your time? I'm thinking it might have been in the Laura Hale era.)

It shouldn't be a big problem for the current article, as I suspect we've used both conventions in published articles already, but for the category it would be nice to increase our proportion of preferable practices. --Pi zero (talk) 18:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * no, it must have been before I started editing here. In any case, we should have redirects Jong Nam and Jong-nam. (I remember facing similar issue with Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong Un. I don’t think I created a redirect. 223.237.193.218 (talk) 18:49, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Allies
The last sentence in the article starts "The allies are to hold...". Understanding this requires some extra context as the 3 countries named in the article are: Sweden, North Korea and South Korea (with Sweden only being mentioned in passing). Does 'allies' refer to North and South Korea or some other unnamed countries? To aid understanding I think 'allies' should be replaced by an explicit list of countries. 202.21.136.105 (talk) 02:34, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You are correct, the term is unexplained and should have been fixed before publication. Since it has now been more than 24 hours since publication, we will need a correction of some sort.  --Pi zero (talk) 02:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Review of revision 4380683 [Passed]

 * Thanks. We should probably have a house style for Korean names, sure. Lacking that, should we default to AP? en.wp? Personal preference? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:55, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * My memory is that, whenever-it-was, we gradually arrived at the sense that the standard English-language outlets were applying South Korean conventions to North Korean names. It took considerable digging, iirc, and I'm uncertain how far it went — strong suspicion?  implicit moral certainty?  We'll probably want to do further digging if we're to establish a house standard on the point.  --Pi zero (talk) 21:02, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * To be sure, Southern styles are far more common, especially in Western sources. In Hangul, most spellings are the same but there are differences in orthography between North and South Korean. Do you think it's worthwhile to try to establish some style conventions? It seems like it's been long enough... —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:05, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * An excerpt from what I find under "Korean names" in my 2015 dead-tree AP Stylebook:
 * "follow each government's standard policy for transliterations unless the subject has a personal preference. North Korean names are written as three separate words, each starting with a capital letter [...] South Korean names are written as two names, with the given name hyphenated and a lowercase letter after the hyphen" — The Associated Press Stylebook 2015
 * --Pi zero (talk) 21:50, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * CC can you share your views, -revi, please? 223.237.193.231 (talk) 22:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The Economist (2005):
 * "South Koreans have changed their convention to Kim Dae-jung. But North Koreans, at least pending unification, have stuck to Kim Jong Il. Kim is the family name"
 * NY Times (2015):
 * "The official style of the North Korean government is to separate the parts, with no hyphen, and some individual Koreans use that style. But for consistency, use the hyphenated form routinely, for both North and South Koreans."
 * Chicago (16th ed) has a section on Asian names but says nothing on Korean ones. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:16, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Margot Duhalde, Chile's first female military pilot, dies aged 97

February 7, 2018 On Monday,, Chile's first female military pilot, died at the age of 97, the Chilean government said. Duhalde volunteered for the, and served with the and  during the second World War.

Duhalde, who learnt to fly an airplane at the age of sixteen, got her license to fly aircraft in 1938. She had left her home in to undertake pilot's training at the  in the capital city of Santiago.

In 1940, Duhalde volunteered for the Free French Forces in Santiago. She worked with the British Royal Air Force where she helped the mechanics and looked after the sick. She then joined the Air Transport Auxiliary of Britain and flew aircraft between British airfields during World War II.

In 1946, a year after the war ended, Duhalde was titled Knight of France's. She returned to her homeland in 1947 and was made an honorary colonel by the (FACh). She served as a commercial pilot and instructor as well as air traffic controller. She was Chile's first female air traffic controller.

In an interview with  last year, Duhalde said,. She was the only female from Chile to volunteer to join the Free French Force.

In an official statement, the government said, "We are grateful for the huge contribution she made to Chilean aviation and recognise the courage she had to fulfil her life's dream, breaking stereotypes and showing the way to other women."

Chilean president Michelle Bachelet tweeted,

Duhalde retired at the age of 81. In 2007, she flew a plane for the last time.

SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket blasts Elon Musk's personal Tesla into solar orbit

February 7, 2018 At 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, (2045 ), the SpaceX  rocket launched from  in Florida, United States. Its cargo: a 100,000, the personal property of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, which he hopes will soon be in its own orbit around the Sun. This is the most powerful rocket since the of  was retired in 1970. The rocket is meant to follow a course called a. "It'll be a really huge downer if it blows up," Musk told the press the day before the launch, but went on to say, "If something goes wrong, hopefully it goes wrong far into the mission so we at least learn as much as possible along the way. I would consider it a win if it just clears the pad and doesn't blow the pad to smithereens. That's four million pounds of TNT equivalent so there's probably not going to be much left if that thing lets loose on the pad." The car was equipped with a fully space-suited dummy, cameras to monitor its trip into space, a copy of Douglas Adams' ', and a radio blasting ' by.

The Falcon Heavy has a total of 27 engines and stands tall. According to SpaceX, the Falcon Heavy uses three boosters, the same kind as the company's smaller cargo rockets. After the rocket exited the Earth's atmosphere, two of these boosters detached from the main body of the rocket and, in a first for space technology, were successfully guided back down to the landing pad about ten minutes after launch. The third was to have landed on a drone ship, but missed by around 100 yards (about 90 meters) and hit the ocean "at around 200 miles per hour," according to Musk. The reusability of the boosters makes an enormous difference in the cost of the launch.

Even the relatively heavy-hauling U.S. program, which was closed in 2013, did not rely on rockets as powerful as those used in Project Apollo, the program in which NASA, the U.S. Government space agency,  sent manned missions to the Moon in the 1960's and 70's. Most recent space projects have focused on smaller, lighter machinery, such as '  in 2004, which reached space after being carried part of the way by a  instead of launching from the ground. As of last week, the most powerful rocket in use was the Delta IV, operated by the. It costs about US$435 million per launch, while SpaceX says the Falcon Heavy will cost US$90 million per launch.

NASA is also working on a heavy-duty rocket, the Space Launch System, but there have been delays.

Talk:Margot Duhalde, Chile's first female military pilot, dies aged 97

AlvaroMolina's translation of the FACH's statement
"On Monday, February 5, at the age of 97 years, the distinguished Chilean pilot, Margot Duhalde Sotomayor (Q.E.P.D.), died at the Institutional Hospital.

Her brilliant career places her as one of the pioneers of global aviation, a career that earned her recognition both in our country and abroad.

In 1946, the Air Force granted him the title of "War Pilot Honoris Causa". Later she received the "Cruz al Merito Aeronáutico de la Fuerza Aérea de Chile" Award.

Born in Río Bueno, Región de Los Ríos. At the age of 16, she joined the Chilean Air Club as a member, graduating as a civilian pilot before turning eighteen years of age in 1938.

During the Second World War, she traveled to Europe and joined the French forces, being destined to London to fly with the Royal Air Force. There she flew more than one hundred types of aircraft, including fighters, bombers, transport planes, among others.

In 1951 she joined the Air Force, where she served as Air Traffic Controller in different flight units of the Institution and in national aerodromes, reaching more than thirty years of professional career in this service condition.

The Air Force regrets the death of the outstanding aviator, whose personal qualities made her worthy of the esteem of those who surrounded her and of the members of our Institution."

"Established unit of measurement"
"The length of a football field" is indeed not an established unit of measurement, but it is an extremely common way of getting people to visualize distance. We could say that Tyrannosaurus Rex was NUMBER feet tall or we could say "Tall enough to look into a second-storey window." It gets the idea across much better. The question is whether people will know what we're talking about. I say keep it in unless there's a copyright issue. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * there are countries where they do not play/or have American football field. There are people who don’t know how big is an American football field. I don’t know how big it is, so I can not even visualise it. I know size of football field is variable. And we write for global audience, not for Americans. 223.237.249.43 (talk) 12:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * regarding to Green Giant’s comments, if something is not crucial to the story, it should not be said at the first place. Do not confuse between what is not crucial and what is written in the lower part of the pyramid. 223.237.236.144 (talk) 13:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * What is crucial is that the booster failed to land on the ship and instead went into the water. What is not crucial is the distance it missed by. The source gives an estimate using a very common term in the US, but it doesn't gain anything by leaving it out. Anyway I've added the yards and metres for the rest of the world so they can understand it. Now, if it was a proper football pitch (soccer field for those who don't understand), that might be a different case, although there are some fairly standard measurements in use. Green Giant (talk) 13:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If the information is "not crucial" then there is no need to mention it. And tbh, it is interesting to know by how much distance it missed. BTW, saying the football field's size first, it appears as if it was primarily written for the US citizens and now, I am going to remove it. Make use of standard/well known units, and do not encourage non-standard units as the first choice. •–• 15:20, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * What I mean, Acagastya, is that the problem is not that a football field isn't a precise unit of measurement. It's fine in a news article to say something like "as tall as the Pyramids" or "as far apart as two telephone poles" or "as big as an ocean" because the reader will be able to translate that into a meaningful image than a number.  You might take issue the specific metaphor that Y chose—you seem to think it's too American—but the fact that it is a metaphor isn't itself a problem.  Am I correct in thinking that if the metaphor had been something more international, you wouldn't have minded? Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Again, Pyramid comes in various shapes and sizes. Not only the Egyptian ones; but the glass pyramid, Mayan pyramid, Sudanese pyramids — I was surprised to learn about Nubian pyramids back in fifth grade as they were more than the number of pyramids in Egypt. (And I was really interested in Egyptian civilisation that time) but even if there is one unique monument, there would be people who did not see it — consider Taj Mahal, Quyub Minar, Char Minar — people who haven’t heard of it would not know. And some, who might have been there might not remember how big it was. 223.237.233.76 (talk) 23:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

 * <dropping in> Btw, I did look into football field lengths when I first saw this discussion. I'm a US native and wouldn't have known, without looking it up, that an American football field is 120 yards long; I know that the space between the two goal lines is 100 yards, that being a big deal with announcements of the ball moving across the yard lines of the length, and would have tended to take "football field" to mean 100 yards if it were said by someone I was sure was USian, while I'd be uncomfortable with what it meant if it came from someone from elsewhere (and Elon Musk is originally from where?).  According to en.wp, Canadian football fields are a different length; association football fields can vary within a specific range, with UEFA having chosen a standard figure; and Australian rules football fields vary more widely... and are oval rather than rectangular.  --Pi zero (talk) 01:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think I've ever watched a whole football game in my life and if you'd asked me how big one was in yards or meters, I wouldn't have known. However, I do know how big they are because I've seen them.  I went to a high school that had a football field and we did gym class there.  I've seen other football fields on TV and in movies.  So there's knowing the arbitrary number that human beings have put to something and then there's knowing how big it is.  Like if I say "I discovered a strange new animal.  It's the size of a cat," the idea will get across faster than if I say "It's about 40 cm long not counting the tail." Frankly, if the source material says "40 cm" and we translate that to "cat," that's a great way to avoid plagiarism concerns.
 * The important information isn't the number. It's the distance.
 * And for pyramids, there's a reason I used a capital P and a "the." People read that as the famous ones. Some places are more famous than others. Darkfrog24 (talk) 03:44, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I don’t know if you are active on Commons, but if you were, you might be aware how famous glass pyramid and the copyright problems involved. I have never seen an “Egyptian Pyramid” and actually, I have not seen any type of pyramid, so I can not imagine how big it would be. If you are telling me, people don’t know how long 40cm is, and you want that way to solve the problem, I should advice you to stay away from reviewing, honestly. If possible, I would upload a photo to explain why your idea is terrible. •–• 04:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * just as big as a cat; right? Or maybe ostrich's egg -- the largest cell in this world is as long as a banana? •–• 18:01, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Metaphors are useful devices for conveying number. I can't visualize 40 cm in my head without first thinking of it in visual terms I understand. I know a foot-long ruler is about 30 cm, so it's about a ruler and a third (or a foot and a third, for those inclined). When use that cat example, we're not imagining a mega-cat, but it's likely someone would imagine an average-sized cat being about a 1–1.5 feet in length sans tail. Another example: A human egg cell is about 100 microns in size. A hundred millionths of a meter is not easily imaginable, but a salt grain is about that size and one can imagine that.

For what it's worth, an American football field and an association soccer/football field are around 90 meters long. Football field suggests around 100 meters is around the length for the footballs of the world. It may not have been precise, but I certainly think it conveys the point to have used the original phrasing. —mikemoral (talk) 07:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * look at the second photo, of the bananas and tell me, when there are varieties of the same thing, something that is not universally constant, not even known to everyone — how can one possibly use it for writing articles for the global audience. •–• 08:12, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Formats for song titles
Just in case anyone didn't know, quotation marks are the long-established acceptable format for song titles (because they're short-form works). However, more recently, italics have come into favor as well. They are both correct. The Wikinews style guide currently says to use italics. I'm not sure why.

Chinese Foreign Ministry confirms arrest of bookseller Gui Minhai

February 8, 2018 On Tuesday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed they had detained Hong Kong-based bookseller. Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said, "Gui Minhai broke Chinese law and has already been subjected to criminal coercive measures in accordance with the law by relevant Chinese authorities".

According to Minhai's daughter, Chinese police arrested Gui in Beijing in January. 53-year-old Minhai, who was diagnosed with a progressive neurodegenerative disease, was travelling to the Chinese capital to see a Swedish doctor. Minhai holds dual citizenship of Sweden and China, and has written about the leaders of China, amongst them  Xi Jinping, the president of China. Geng Shuang in his statement said, "I want to once again stress that China opposes any form of speech or actions that ignore China's legal sovereignty."

On Monday, Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom stated, "Chinese action was contrary to basic international rules on consular support." "The current situation also raises questions about the application of the rule of law, including the prohibition of arbitrary deprivation of liberty. We demand that our citizen be given the opportunity to meet Swedish diplomatic and medical staff, and that he be released so that he can be reunited with his daughter and family", Wallstorm added.

In October 2015, Gui disappeared in Thailand, and months later, he was found in China and stated he had surrendered for a 2003 case of driving under the influence of alcohol, in which reportedly a student died. He was imprisoned for two years, and was released in October, last year. He was not permitted to leave China.

Geng Shuang said, "Although Gui Minhai is a Swedish citizen, the case he is involved in must be handled in accordance with Chinese law. China and Sweden are maintaining open communication channels on this case."

Hello, I deleted the page your created because it didn't seem like a news article as there didn't seem to be any content. If you were trying to write an article, a great place to get started is the Introduction and guide to writing an article. If you think I deleted your article in error, go ahead and recreate the page.

 * En Wikinews, puede aprender escribir para Wikinews, que es diferente a escribir para publicaciones profesionales. Aqui en Wikinews en ingles, es mejor empiezar con "Write an Article" (escribir un articulo).  La version corto es mas o menos esto:

 * Necesitamos por lo menos dos fuentes (articulos publicados por instituciones reputadas, como periódicos profesionales) por lo que llamamos "the focal event" (evento focal)
 * Otras cosas en el articulo necesita solamenta por lo menos un fuente.
 * Escribe en un estilo de news.
 * Por lo menos tres párrafos, pero usualmente mas.
 * Los fuentes usualmente necesitan ser escribido en misma idioma que el articulo. Esto es porque por lo mas nuestros reviewers trabajar en ingles.
 * Tambien hay Wikinoticias, que publica en español. Wikinews es un gran lugar improvecer su ingles, y ambos proyectos estarían encantados de tenerte! Darkfrog24 (talk) 19:56, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Note -- this does not help in verification. The simple reason is, what if sources disagree about some fact; taking example of the obituary we had published this morning, one source claimed she got license at the age of eighteen; other claimed it was before she turned eighteen. [since this just adds up time, without any actual benefit, I would say, please don't do it.] •–• 08:33, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure but it helps me--I have had articles with unsourced claims--this one is at least sourced. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

14 sources?
Yikes. This is going to be a gigantic effort to review. --Pi zero (talk) 13:21, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Semi-automated prelim check for obvious similiarities to sources turns up scattered references to... Dolores O'Riordan, and to The Cranberries.  From sources, of course, that provide links to other music obits they've published in recent times. --Pi zero (talk) 13:52, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I hope the above helps in review. If you feel like it's too much overhead, you can omit any that you think are redundant. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:49, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Removing some sources does nothing to reduce the review load, since it's impossible to judge what to remove until after everything has been done. --Pi zero (talk) 22:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, you could compare them to the outline I have above and if something seems redundant on every point, remove it. But that may not be the case here--I tried to post the above to make review easier since this is a longer and meatier story than my previous submissions. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:56, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Removal is still a final-step thing, afaics. (Btw, that final step?  If it happens, soon; I'm hoping to get this out the door before midnight UTC.)  --Pi zero (talk)

Attribution
We should attribute the news of his death — where did the information come from about when and under what circumstances he died. We say "no cause was specified", which hightlights that we don't say who it's being specified by. --Pi zero (talk) 13:58, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Requested edits
Editprotected Not sure if you're willing to go back to fix grammar things but if you can replace "Barlow is survived his ex-wife Elaine Parker Barlow" with "Barlow is survived by his ex-wife Elaine Parker Barlow". Either way, if you can add a see also to Singer-songwriter Robert Hunter dies, aged 78, that would be nice. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:41, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * We fix typos in archived articles if the fixes don't change the apparent meaning. (If they did change the apparent meaning, that would be a matter for a correction).  I figure this is effectively a fix of that sort, so I've done it. The only forward references we do to later articles are via update (and requires the later article to have been published).  Possibly it'd be more useful to set up a category, if we have enough published articles, for the Grateful Dead. --Pi zero (talk) 17:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * A quick search suggests there should be no problem populating a category for the Grateful Dead. --Pi zero (talk) 17:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. We should add Poet, lyricist, and digital activist John Perry Barlow dies, aged 70, Tubes, Grateful Dead musician Vince Welnick died of 'probable suicide', Owsley Stanley, icon of 1960s counterculture, dies at 76 for sure. Nancy Pelosi again elected Speaker as 116th U.S. Congress sworn in is pretty tangential. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:31, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Category populated. Also, on category talk page noted two other articles of marginal relevance. --Pi zero (talk) 01:10, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Dhaka court sentences former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia to five years on corruption charges

February 10, 2018 On Thursday, Dhaka high court sentenced former Bangladeshi Prime Minister to a five year prison term for corruption. Her son Tarique Rahman and four others involved in the case were each sentenced to ten years.

Zia was prosecuted for embezzling 21 million (about US$250 thousand) from foreign donations to an orphanage while she was prime minister. 72-year-old Zia, who became the first female to head the Bangladeshi government in 1991, was sent to jail minutes after the ruling. Her son Tarique Rahman, who lives in England, was not present for the hearing.

Judge Mohammad Akhteruzzaman said Zia "was given a shorter term considering her health and social status". According to the Law Minister, Zia can apply for bail and also go to the. Zia's lawyer Khandker Mahbub Hossain said, "We didn't get justice. We'll go to the higher court". Per Bangladeshi law, if a person is jailed for over two years, they are ineligible to stand in election for a period of five years. Parliamentary polls of Bangladesh are scheduled to be conducted in December.

(BNP) leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the ruling was "an attempt to eliminate the opponent" for the upcoming polls. Anisul Huq said the verdict "proves that Bangladesh has the rule of law and that no one is above the law". Huq also noted Zia would not be eligible to run for the December polls if she loses the case in the Supreme Court after the appeal.

BNP secretary general said, "this verdict will deepen the country's existing political crisis and will damage people's faith in judiciary". Thousands of supporters of Zia gathered and protested against the ruling. According to news reports, protesters set fire to motorbikes, and police used to disperse some crowds.

Competition Commission of India fines Google ₹1.36 billion for 'search bias'

February 11, 2018 On Thursday, the (CCI), a government anti-trust watchdog, fined US-based internet technology company Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, Inc. 135.86 crore (about ₹1.36 billion, US$21 million) for manipulating their search results in favour of its products and syndicates, which affected business of rival companies. In the 190-page long decision, CCI said, "Google was leveraging its dominance in the market for online general web search, to strengthen its position in the market for online syndicate search services".

In the ruling passed 4–2, the watchdog said, Google's "search bias" caused "harm to its competitors as well as to users". In 2012, (CUTS), which is a non-profit organisation, and  filed a complaint against the search engine for manipulating the search results.

Google is to pay the fine within 60 days. CCI had fined them five percent of the average profit Google made over three fiscal years due to its Indian user base. Per the law, CCI could have fined Google up to ten percent of the profit.

Last year, Google was fined by the European Commission (EC) for favouring certain shopping services for the amount of €2.42 billion (about US$3 billion). That accounted for five percent of "average daily worldwide turnover of Alphabet", EC's official statement read. Google was also fined by Russian Federation Antimonopoly Service for US$6.8 million in 2016 for favouring its own digital services.

"Whilst finding Google to have abused its dominant position, the CCI has nonetheless exercised restraint in recognizing the dynamic nature of online markets and not found Google guilty of every allegation", Naval Shah, who was representing Bharat Matrimony from Shardul Amarchand law firm, told Reuters News agency.

A Google spokesperson said, "We have always focused on innovating to support the evolving needs of our users. The Competition Commission of India has confirmed that, on the majority of issues it examined, our conduct complies with Indian competition laws".

Did anybody ask whose idea it was to use the car as the dummy payload? I know Musk said earlier that they would use "the most ridiculous thing we can think of"; did he come up with the idea of shooting his car into space, or did some employee say, "Hey, boss, you aren't really using that sports car of yours much anymore, are you?"

Deleting iwls
Hi. I noticed you removed IWLs from CAT:Astronomy. We prefer maintaining them; please don't remove those. 103.254.128.134 (talk) 05:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for that. I just thought that interwiki links are now supported by WIkidata. --TongcyDai (talk) 09:41, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikidata supports IWLs, but if something goes wrong on Wikidata, we don't want to lose our own information. Moreover, Wikidata does not support wikt iwls.  If they start disabling other projects, locally managed iwls will come handy. 103.254.128.134 (talk) 10:00, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I got it. Thanks for the explanation! --TongcyDai (talk) 14:04, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Pakistan court sentences one man to death penalty, and life imprisonment to five others for Mashal Khan lynching incident

February 10, 2018 On Wednesday, an anti-terrorism court in the Pakistani city of sentenced one man to death, and five others to life imprisonment, for killing 23-year-old  in a mob violence incident last year. 57 out of 61 verdicts were announced, which took place behind closed doors for security reasons, and about 250 police officials and commandos were deployed.

Imran Sultan Mohammad, who had confessed about shooting Mashal Khan, was sentenced to death by judge Fazal-e-Subhan. Khan was a journalism student in 's, who was accused of , an offense punishable by death in Pakistan, and was killed in mob violence on April 13. Later in June, police investigation revealed it was a false accusation as they found no evidence of blasphemy. Khan was stripped, beaten by dozens of people in the boys hostel, thrown from the second floor and shot dead — which was videographed and posted on social media.

Defense lawyer Saad Abbasi said 25 accused were sentenced to three-year prison, and 26 accused were released free from charges. Mashal Khan's brother Aimal Khan said, "Our demand was that all of the suspects should have been convicted [...] We ask the police to arrest the remaining suspects who are still at large and to bring them to trial." Police had arrested one suspect recently, who is yet to face the trial.

Last year after the death of Mashal Khan, speaking to BBC, his father Iqbal Khan said, "This issue is not just about my son. The issue is the mob came to the university, and challenged the government. So the government should question themselves, or do justice." He had also said,

According to police findings, the false accusation of blasphemy was started by a student group after Mashal Khan had criticised the university for hiking the fees, asserting corruption in the university. Some students had complained about Khan's alleged secular views to the university authorities.

Reportedly around a hundred relatives of accused waited outside the premises, for the verdict. "A day will come that the judge will answer the God. The verdict he has announced is unjust", said a guardian whose son was sentenced to three years' jail.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the lynching last year and said, "Let it be known to the perpetrators of this act that the state shall not tolerate citizens taking the law in their own hands. No father should have to send his child off to be educated, with the fear of having him return in a coffin."

Talk:Dhaka court sentences former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia to five years on corruption charges

Review of revision 4381796 [Passed]

 * It might have been well for the lede to touch on the political accusations. --Pi zero (talk) 20:03, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Currency units
flag Is there a point where a currency symbol is internationally encountered infrequently enough that naming it would be useful? If so, I think the taka would likely warrant it (though I'd expect you to be more familiar with that one being geographically closer to its home). Whether the ruble would warrant it seems to me a separate question (on which I would also be interested in your perspective). --Pi zero (talk) 15:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I had no clue about taka's symbol until I had to use it for the article. Similarly, I had no idea how Russian ruble's symbol looks like. If I were to add "Russian ruble" to that article, we would have a "meh" type reaction, and sight it. Removing it adds a chance that we actually get to discuss about it. I feel we should explain every symbol (and that includes metre at the first instance, too) •–• 15:54, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, that raises some further questions.
 * Which currency symbols don't need explanation? Dollars euros and pounds?  What about rupees?  Yen/yuan?  Perhaps we shouldn't be trying to explain any of them; though even if that's the answer, I'm just as glad to have tried with taka, because if we were going to that's a likely candidate, and it has (as you say) started a discussion.
 * How ought we to format such explanations; I tried something here, but perhaps there's a better way?
 * How ought we to explain unit abbreviations; for example, if we describe a distance as 500 miles and then specify the metric equivalent in parentheses, how would we explain the "km" that's then already in parentheses?
 * --Pi zero (talk) 16:47, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, there is advice on this in the SG that we're not following. --Pi zero (talk) 16:49, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Um, We take granted that people would know what $, euro or pound means. There was a time when I would confuse between euro and cents. How about:
 * £100 (1 pound = 1.38 US Dollar)
 * 500 miles (1 mile = 1.7 kilometres; so about 805km)
 * 100 light years (1ly = 9.4×1012 kilometres; so about 9.4×1014 km)
 * Wy you think rupee symbol is fine without explanation. •–• 16:57, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think listing conversion rate works for us; that's diverging from the news under discussion. The missing information that's potentially relevant is, what does "km" stand for.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:12, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 500 miles (about 805 kilometres) and 100 light years (about 9.4×1014km) [mentioning at the first instance. As for currency is concerned; CAD 50, or INR100 — that is worse than CA$ or ₹. Those ISO codes are standard, but harder to be understood by common readers. (Like for example CH is for Switzerland. And in three character, that becomes SUI) 223.237.202.133 (talk) 13:44, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

"High court"
Issue correction I'm curious as to the characterization of the court as a "high court". A bit of searching on my part of learn more about what court it was led to to find no reference to it in the sources, and that on reading the Reuters article I found the only reference to a "High Court" being that Zia's lawyers would appeal to one. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I think it's not quite accurate to refer to an unnamed court as "Dhaka high court." Some googling suggests it was an ad hoc court created for this trial, but I'm unfamiliar with the Bangladeshi legal system so I'm not very sure if it's okay to call it such, or if we might need a correction. —mikemoral (talk) 00:18, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I wrote the article in one edit when I was sleep deprived; and I had to refer my notes which mentions SC appeal (Bloomberg) but nowhere I have written about a high court. The word "high" in the lede causes the problem. •–• 02:00, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I suggest we issue the correction in this case. It's been long enough since publication that we do need the correction notice. Perhaps something among the lines of correction. The wording could use work. —mikemoral (talk) 07:58, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * let pizero do it. CC. •–• 12:05, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * (Huh? Whatever; I hope I'll have a chance to study this and add my thoughts here soon.)  --Pi zero (talk) 13:32, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I checked my notes, and the sources, and at least ten different sources, and nobody says "high" court. I searched for "courts in Dhaka" on Google Maps, and there are three, including the SC, but none of them is called a "high" court. Many sources claim it was a "special" court. The word "high" in the lede causes the problem, and that would have to be removed; but since that is a substantial change, one should issue a correction. •–• 15:26, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

I was reminded of this article reading some news piece with a correction notice. We never quite got around to deciding whether a correction was necessary. I think a clarification should be issued at least. —mikemoral (talk · contribs) 07:42, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I don’t think it's an error as such. The Supreme Court of Bangladesh comprises two divisions - a lower one called the and a higher one called the Appellate Division. The court being referred to here is the High Court Division and the appeal will be to the Appellate Division. I would suggest a clarification changing it to "the High Court Division". Green Giant (talk) 03:05, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Anything not in the source is not acceptable; and that time; post 24-hour talaq period, I had checked other sources and 5+ said it was a special court. (Thanks for reminding, mikemoral. -- can we get this done tonight?) •–•  17:24, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, Acagastya is right. I've just read an an article about a bail extension application in the Special Judge Court, and an older article from May last year, which mentions the case was transferred to Special Judge Court-5. Green Giant (talk) 20:32, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * A general observation regarding use of uncited sources in deciding on correction notices. Correction notices are about making sure the reader knows if the final form of our article has a problem.  If something is wrong, it's not an excuse that the sources got it wrong too; the reader needs to know.  At another extreme, if something can't be verified from the cited sources, but we determine by other means that it's true, we probably don't want to significantly disrupt the reader's perusal of the article just to tell them that our being right was accidental.  (The correction template is designed to disrupt the reader, to be sure they get its message.)  Between those, if we fail to determine whether or not it's true by any means, cited or otherwise, we would need to inform the reader of that. I'm starting to study this now.  --Pi zero (talk) 20:46, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm unable to access the first of those two articles; on a browser with javascript disabled, it doesn't load at all, on one with javascript enabled it blanks partway into the load and attempting to access its underlying html causes a panel crash. The older one, from May, talks of the High Court transferring the case (as mentioned above) between "Sepcial" courts, which one might tentatively suppose are not "High".  It seems that one of the functions of the High Court is supervision of lesser courts.  --Pi zero (talk) 21:41, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I have proposed a correction notice. Does it look right?  --Pi zero (talk) 21:47, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that's fine. If anyone is intrigued about what the court is called, they can always ask here. Green Giant (talk) 21:51, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

sorry I can;t look into it more but i hate that corection. "the court is not high" (or judge) wtf? are we saying they were on drugs before the correction? why cant we say what level the court/judge is? please make this better. --SVTCobra 05:28, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * well, if one considers "high" in the context of drug culture, correction is hilarious. So how about: This article describes Judge Akhteruzzaman's court as "high court", but sources do not mention it was a "high court". 223.237.235.90 (talk) 06:02, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've adjusted it; though I mostly swore off worrying about such double meanings decades ago, as a determined reader can always find them. --Pi zero (talk) 11:09, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
