Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous/archives/2018/February

Google News
I noticed in Google News there doesn't seem to be any recent Wikinews stories, the latest one I found (search term: "wikinews") is from January 8th: Saudi Arabia: Princes arrested after protesting austerity. I don't know if this is an issue with Google or Wikinews, or on my own end, so I figured I'd bring it up. —mikemoral (talk) 07:03, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I see the same, alongside Mysterious dimming of Tabby's star likely due to space dust, not alien superstructures, say scientists (not logged into Google). —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:10, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I observe the same problem, regardless of whether I'm logged into google. --Pi zero (talk) 17:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I suppose someone should inquire of them? --Pi zero (talk) 20:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Who got in contact with Google to get Wikinews listed? I come across their how to guide for getting listed in the first place, but I would imagine this process was done already. —mikemoral (talk) 20:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that was brianmc. --Pi zero (talk) 20:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps we could ask Brian about it, or someone can perhaps try getting in touch directly with Google, setting it up again if needed. Some searching indicates Google recently delisted many publishers, perhaps on accident, on the 8th, which is the date of the Saudi prince article (Google forum link). Perhaps this is an issue that stems from that. It might be the case we got accidentally delisted, but were never put back up. —mikemoral (talk) 07:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As an alternative to the accidental explanation for such large-scale delisting, Google may have been trying to tighten up on "fake news". Either way, they may be waiting to see if someone misses it and inquires.  Brian could tell us either who he talked to, or (less likely I'd guess) who of us talked to them.  When Brian came by a few months back I think he told me what email is mostly likely to reach him; I could look it up if you think it would be useful, though lately I've not been having much luck getting a response from him via email.  As I recall, the contact that roused him to that activity was a phone call from one of us (not me).  --Pi zero (talk) 11:53, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

 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
 * Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to.
 * The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language.
 * Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded.

Problems
 * Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this.

Changes later this week
 * When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users.
 * When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like . You could use   or   instead of   but it would make no difference. You can now only use   or nothing . If you write something else, instead of treating it like , it will not work.
 * The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of  or   it will say   and  . It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public.
 * Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * The Education Program extension will be removed on 30 June. It is replaced by the Programs and Events Dashboard.

Tech News: 2018-07
 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
 * TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator.
 * Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week
 * You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages.
 * The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates.
 * The abuse filter extension has a new feature  that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Meetings

Recent changes
 * The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed.
 * You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table.

Problems
 * Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed.
 * Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like   are not visible in the references list whilst editing.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

When is a news story ready to publish?
https://www.propublica.org/article/ask-ppil-how-do-journalists-know-when-a-story-is-ready#140384 —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:21, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I wrote about a criminal. Can the information be included here?
I wrote about a criminal who was tried back in 2008, though the article is being considered for deletion due to lack of notability. On the other hand, I understand that this isn’t a depository for rejected articles, particularly ones that ‘had nothing to do with current affairs’. I don’t know if you lot have some sort of expiration date for news stories.

Could some of the content be salvaged and migrated here, or is it entirely unsuitable for inclusion? — Romanophile (talk) 15:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

 * It looks as if that would be historical information (unless I've missed something; see below). Our inclusion criteria here say that at the time of publication a news article has to be about a current event, something that just happened within the past day or two (three days at the outside); our term-of-art is freshness.  We describe a news article as a "snapshot in time"; our archives, going back well over a decade, are a sort of photo album of snapshots in time, and we greatly value them, but still, each new photo added to the album has to be fresh at the moment it is added. If something new were to happen in the case, meeting our freshness criterion, there's a good chance it would clear our relevance criterion which is more tolerant than Wikipedia's notability.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

 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
 * Checkusers and stewards can now view private data such as the IP address in the abuse log. This data is removed regularly.

Problems
 * Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug.
 * Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed.
 * Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated.

Changes later this week
 * Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Wikinews wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 27 February. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 1 March (calendar).

Winter storm fells US President George Washington's tree at Mount Vernon estate, Virginia

March 7, 2018 Friday's major winter storm over the northeastern United States claimed a 227-year-old tree on the estate of the first US President, , in. As of yesterday, officials overseeing the Mount Vernon estate indicated the has been collected for preservation and special projects.

The hemlock, planted in 1791, was toppled by the gusts reportedly up to 70 (about 110 ) on Friday.

Mount Vernon was Washington's personal estate, where he conducted most of his two presidential terms between 1789–1797 because the initial White House was not completed yet. According to Mount Vernon officials, the hemlock is the best documented tree at the estate, sent by New York Governor as a gift delivered in a whisky barrel. The New York governor is not related to the 42nd President, however George Clinton would later become the United States's Vice President under the and  administrations between 1805–1812.

Other US historic trees recently fallen include the seventh President 's at the White House and the   in California's  known for the car-sized tunnel cut into the trunk.

Wikinews:Expectations

What Wikinews expects from news writers (that means you)
* Estimated (approximate) time, may vary with individuals. Only serves as an guide and not as a recommendation or a requirement!
 * Read style guide and content guide and any relevant linked information. Once when you begin, and revisit it each time you are writing a new story.
 * Time*: 10-20 minutes
 * Difficulty: easy
 * Learn to write accurately, truthfully and without bias. The purpose of news reporting is to be neutral and to provide as much relevant fresh information to as wide audience as possible. (What Wikinews is not; neutral point of view are what differentiates Wikinews from majority of mainstream media.)
 * See also: The Wikinewsie Group/Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Journalists.
 * Be inquisitive and curious. Love fresh details relevant to the critical questions of who, what, when, where, why, how. Anything of that missing - dig it from under ground and pull it into the story. (Otherwise nobody would know about it, which defeats the purpose of news reporting.)
 * Time: 5-10 minutes
 * Difficulty: medium
 * Edit articles in the newsroom. For two reasons: to help others' stories get through, and to learn about common problems and how to best overcome them. Start with the ones which are more fresh and whose topic is more familiar.
 * Time: 1-10 minutes
 * Difficulty: medium
 * Write new articles in your strong topic area. Then others will know about what happened. Woo.
 * Time: 20-40 minutes
 * Difficulty: medium
 * After submitting an article, watch it and its talk page. Look for new talk page messages. (Atm, that's best done by refreshing these pages in your web browser. E-mail notifications may also be enabled here.)
 * Time: recurring
 * Difficulty: easy
 * When a question is asked, or a reviewer comment is added, react quickly, and address it in full (do not forget to re-submit for review once that's done). Doing otherwise is an inefficient use of time, resulting in not publishing and not reaching the audience.
 * Time: 10-20 minutes
 * Difficulty: medium
 * Ask questions. When you have a question, ask it straight away. Don't get stuck on a problem. News writing does not allow being stuck.
 * Time: 1-2 minutes
 * Difficulty: easy

Times?
How long it takes to do things depends on the individual; writing (and reviewing) are especially variable between individuals. --Pi zero (talk) 01:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello and Reviewer status
Welcome to Wikinews. While I appreciate your eagerness, I think it is premature for you to apply for Reviewer status. Per the policy: "Before requesting this permission, you must be familiar with key policies, particularly the style guide and neutral point of view." I think you should get familiar with the Wikinews project first and try your hand at writing an article or two. It is trickier than it may seem at first glance. But if you follow Pillars of writing and work at the craft, you can probably get there. Cheers, --SVTCobra 04:33, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Winter storm fells US President George Washington's tree at Mount Vernon estate, Virginia

Reader knowledge
Seems to me the lede fails to clearly explain, up front, a lot of basic information — like what a Nor'easter is and what Mount Vernon is (those two come immediately to mind). --Pi zero (talk) 05:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Review of revision 4388420 [Not ready]
I don't think we need to have a big length article. It is more of an obituary then an article, which surprised me no one did anything for Billy Graham's death. Referring to the storm in the terms of the "American north-east" and wind gust should be sufficient. The "what is a Nor'easter?" The technical definition is a weak hurricane in winter which only impacts the American north-east - since we talk a bit funny in that part of the US "north-east storm" became "nor-easter". As for locating the property in Virginia, it should be okay now. Short simple and concise. AZOperator (talk) 22:11, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * , you've added some historical details about George Clinton. Now, many would consider it common knowledge but being sticklers for sources, I didn't see these facts mentioned in your listed sources. Sadly, we can't just say "look at Wikipedia for this" since WP is not considered a reliable source. Side note: I saw you said "we talk a bit funny in that part of the US" ... I thought you operated out of Arizona. Cheers, --SVTCobra 23:59, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Please stop capitalizing plant/tree names. It is simply not proper. It is "apple tree" not "Apple Tree" and it is a "maple" not "Maple", etc., etc. --SVTCobra 00:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Okay, remember I am an engineer not a writer. Yes, I do operate out of AZ but like most of us out here we come from somewhere else. Interestingly, I grew up in the hometown of President James Buchannan. I think a blanket acknowledgement to the US Department of Interior where all of my historical tidbits came from that site is sufficient. AZOperator (talk) 00:09, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * You grew up in Cove Gap?!? Hardly anyone lives there. Anyway, I went to university along Route 30 with which you must be familiar. My paternal grandparents retired in Green Valley, AZ. --SVTCobra 00:26, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Actually, I should have stated he took up residence in the city of Lancaster until his death - which is where I grew up. When I get into that area I am an oddball. An engineer with fingers in technology maturing 8-10 years from now. The Amish are really skeptical of me. There is a lot of good stories there. As for your grandparents, we have a beloved term for them, "Snowbirds". AZOperator (talk) 02:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, my grandparents weren't true snowbirds. I mean, snowbirds is what we up here in the Northeast call retired people who flee to Florida or Arizona for the winter months. My grandparents moved to AZ permanently. It actually became the longest they ever lived in any city (or state) in their entire lives. In grandma's case it ended up being 40 years (she outlived grandpa). How, you may wonder, well she lived to 101 years of age. Cheers, --SVTCobra 02:41, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Well your grandparents had good taste living out here. I love and make my family still in the northeast jealous about the weather. I should say if your grandmother lived to 101, you got some good genes hidden in your genome. Phoenix, mainly out of suburb Scottsdale, has a lot of genome testing labs like TGen. ASU and those companies have joined up and have some significant advances since Watson and Crick. AZOperator (talk) 15:15, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Title
How would people feel if I changed the title to "Winter storm fells George Washington's tree in Virginia, USA" or something similar. I know what a Nor'easter is, but I don't feel it's widely known (and we introduce it in the article). Also, "Washington's tree" might confuse people to think it is about a symbolic tree for the city or state named after George. Cheers, --SVTCobra 00:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay by me; I'd been wondering what to do about the headline. --Pi zero (talk) 00:39, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, I did it. I think we have a pretty solid candidate for review at this point. --SVTCobra 00:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

The Canadian Hemlock is also state tree of PA. Seems like those Canadians have infiltrated the PA state legislature. :) AZOperator (talk) 02:18, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, the Keystone State probably calls it the eastern hemlock, so as to give the Canucks less influence ;-) --SVTCobra 02:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Which tree is this on the photo?
--Gryllida (talk) 02:52, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't know. When I added the photo, I asked if anyone could identify it, please put it in the caption. --SVTCobra 03:18, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Looking again at the source photos, it may have been a bit too far away to have been in the file photo, but tall enough to have hit the tomb if it had fallen at a different angle. Cheers, --SVTCobra 03:22, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I say that. But it could be the tall one in the left half of the photo (just right of the column) behind the tomb itself. However, I just don't know for sure. --SVTCobra 03:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

The actual tree from what I can see from the ground photos (not public domain) is the tree on the right. You can only see a few twigs of it from the article photo. It appears to have fallen parallel to the actual tomb. The only true damage to the tomb was the iron fence around the outside of the tomb.

The tomb itself is insanely strong. Turns out there are two tombs at Mount Vernon. The legend goes a fired gardener wanted to take Washington's skull but decapitated the father-in-law of Washington's nephew corpse. Therefore Washington and his wife were placed in lead boxes (common for high profile individuals) and then lowered into the current marble crypt. Before sealing the lead boxes, a Washington blood relative asked for the coffin to be opened to verify the president's body was still there (remember there were multiple attempts at taking Lincoln's corpse). AZOperator (talk) 15:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Review of revision 4388563 [Not ready]
Okay, I think I have a way of freshening this up a bit, but you are going to have to cut me a little leeway. AZOperator (talk) 15:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

 * What do you have in mind? (Really hoping it's something that'll be no problem.)  --Pi zero (talk) 16:16, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Well they had since cleaned it up but could only find one source saying something close to what the future is. The title and the lede needed to be modified to compensate for that. AZOperator (talk) 17:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm taking a look now, to see whether we can finesse this trick, and if so, how best to go about it. --Pi zero (talk) 18:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

[...] 227-year-old tree guarding the first US President George Washington's Mount Vernon tomb, located in Virginia. Is this correct? Quote: Today at Mount Vernon, strong winds brought down a 227-year-old Canadian Hemlock, as well as a Virginia Cedar that stood watch over Washington’s tomb for many years, De Wikischim (talk) 10:04, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Good question. --Pi zero (talk) 12:00, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No, I believe the hemlock is not at the tomb. None of the cited sources mention the tomb, other than that passage; the VOA article does not mention the tomb at all; and I find an article not cited here,
 * clearly stating the hemlock was on the northern serpentine. A map of the estate shows the tomb is not in the vicinity of the gardens. Thank you, De Wikischim; good catch.  --Pi zero (talk) 12:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The VOA article also confirms this with this sentence "The tree, a Canadian hemlock, was planted near the entrance to a garden on the property." So not right by the tomb. Photos there also show the broken tree near the outer fence. Cheers, --SVTCobra 12:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed the photo to one of the main estate, since the article no longer mentions the tomb. Cheers, --SVTCobra 12:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed the photo to one of the main estate, since the article no longer mentions the tomb. Cheers, --SVTCobra 12:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

And this is why I wanted the article to have a laser focus on the 227 year old tree, falling and future. Obituary, nothing more nothing less. I appreciate for catching that glaring mistake. I hereby unofficially name you "heads up editor of the week". Don't let it go to your head. AZOperator (talk) 15:44, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * De Wikischim (talk) 16:07, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, you had included the bit about about the tree guarding the tomb from the very first draft. Cheers, --SVTCobra 17:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

and was a draft. Instead of checking it, I was more concerned with defining a Nor'Easter. Multiple individuals worked on this, they could have changed that, so if this some type of blame assignment - don't, it is counterproductive. De Wikischim caught it late in the game but should be thanked. AZOperator (talk) 19:54, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, De Wikischim should be thanked. But the way your comment reads makes it seem like you had nothing to do with it and pesky other editors are to blame. That's why I felt the need to reply. Cheers, --SVTCobra 20:35, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

If it will make you sleep better at night, yes I did write that part. I am sorry. Now I will go cry in a corner someplace! AZOperator (talk) 23:10, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I reviewed the article. So in addition to anyone else feeling bad about the error, I get to feel bad about not catching it.  The one bright patch in all this is that De Wikischim not only caught it, but caught it before the 24-hour deadline so we were able to fix it in place rather than issuing a correction.  --Pi zero (talk) 09:28, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

As a practical matter: It was a harrowing experience that passengers do not want and do not ordinarily expect to have to go through in order to get from point A to point B, and if the airline wants to mitigate the negative impact on their business, they need to apologize in some way that makes prospective passengers believe the airline is committed to not having that sort of thing happen.

State of emergency in Sri Lanka remains despite calm returning after violence

March 14, 2018

Schools reopened on Monday in Sri Lanka and the government said they had arrested hundreds of people for participating in anti-Muslim. A remained in effect in the island nation which had been gripped by widespread violence which started in the. At least two people died. At least eleven mosques were reported torched and 200 homes and businesses burned when the violence was at its peak.

Police reported 230 arrests, both for direct involvement and for spreading anti-Muslim hate speech on the internet. Police said to expect more arrests in coming days. Lifting of the state of emergency was expected, according to Al Jazeera, but had not occurred as of Monday. Prime Minister visited  over the weekend and told reporters victims will be compensated for damages.

Ever since a nearly three decade long civil war came to an end in 2009, relations between Sri Lanka's Buddhist majority and  Sunni Muslim minority have remained tense, but largely peaceful until this month.

On March 4, in the village of  a traffic accident escalated into a fight wherein a group of young Muslim men beat a Buddhist man, who later died, according to Al Jazeera. On March 5, hundreds of Sinhalese, whom local residents and officials said were from outside the city, took to the streets of. The mob targeted Muslims' homes and businesses, setting several of them on fire. A Muslim man's dead body was found inside one of the burned buildings.

By March 6, the Sri Lankan government had declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew on the region. The emergency declaration by President allowed the army to be called into action. Nevertheless, the unrest and violence spread to several towns surrounding Kandy. Government officials surmised the rioters were coordinating their attacks at specific locations through social media. Internet access was cut off for the province, and social media including Facebook, and  were blocked for the entire country.

"Technology created to bring people together is being used to pull people apart. Social media websites [...] have been used to destroy families, lives and private property," said, the Minister of Telecommunication and Digital Infrastructure, according to .

On March 7, the curfew was expanded to be around-the-clock after, officials said, a hand grenade went off while a man was carrying it and killed him as well as injuring at least eleven other people. Police said they identified a hardline Buddhist nationalist who posted an anti-Muslim video, which was thought to be a source of incitement, on social media. Reports of violence spread as far as, which is on the southern coast of the island, some 240 (150 ) south of Kandy.

The next day, Thursday, mobs of rioters burned shops and threw at a mosque as religiously-fueled violence continued. The government arrested, by their account, Amith Weerasinghe, a hardline Buddhist-nationalist known for his anti-Muslim sentiments, as the suspected main agitator behind the violence.

Friday prayers at mosques were conducted under heavy police protection, without incident according to authorities. Also on Friday, hundreds of protesters, including Buddhist monks, gathered in the capital city and denounced the riots and violence. Saturday, President Sirisena announced an investigation of the violence in Kandy with a tribunal of retired judges. Kandy lifted curfew Saturday, but kept emergency powers in place.

Early Sunday morning, a restaurant in, was attacked despite heightened police presence, breaking a lull in violence since Thursday. Police arrested seven suspects in connection with the predawn petrol bomb attack on the restaurant. Meanwhile, in the Central Province, where the violence began over a week ago, the Chief Minister announced schools would reopen Monday after being closed during the violence last week.

Talk:State of emergency in Sri Lanka remains despite calm returning after violence

Title
Not sure if the title suffices anymore. But anything else that was more descriptive quickly turned into a whole paragraph each time I tried to think of something. So any ideas are appreciated. --SVTCobra 13:55, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Connection
"Greater police presence was unable to prevent the attack on the Muslim-owned restaurant at 4:00 AM local time in the city in the North Western Province."

1. I'd perhaps want to see more details about the attack. It's the sort-of focal event but little detail is provided about it.

2. To make this attack connected to the rest of the story evidence needs to be provided to demonstrate that the attack was politically motivated (as opposed to, say, a random robbery). --Gryllida (talk) 01:48, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

 * As you may have noticed, the sources listed really don't have more detail. Searching now for other sources, everything I found were just versions of the sources I already had, being passed around on the newswires. So much so that I began to question whether it had happened at all. That is, until I found the article (see below) from today. It, unfortunately, does not provide more detail, but it does show the recovery efforts by the local community.

 * And a source (again no details) about an arrest:
 * And a source (again no details) about an arrest:

Review of revision 4389715 [Not ready]
In my opinion, starting every paragraph with a day or date makes it feel much more like a list instead of prose. I was deliberately trying not to sound encyclopedic when recapping the last ten or so days events. I complied nevertheless in an effort to get this article published. --SVTCobra 09:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Current review
As this is your third crack at this (at least), I know you are already quite familiar with a lot of the material. I wanted to point out to you (if you hadn't noticed), I tried to be very descriptive in my edit summaries including referencing paragraphs by number. This might prove helpful in the current review. Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I can't think of the perfect word but this is misleading, and not in the good will of the project. Please refrain from creating things which can prematurely stop others from contributing. It is better if people write about very new things, but that does not mean we should have templates which might possibly stop others from writing something old. At times, there were situation were my older stories were reviewed first, instead of someone's new stories. •–• 08:40, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Just for the record, more the preloaded text in the textarea is, more unwelcoming it is, for some newbies. It is not the best way to read the notes written, and even if one might get things wrong for the first time, one can help them, in theory, instead of shooing them away with so much text. •–• 08:45, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

United States: Coroner says former patient killed self and three hostages at California veterans center

March 17, 2018

In the United States, autopsy results were released on Thursday by the, which show that Albert Wong killed himself after shooting his three hostages at The Pathway Home veterans' psychiatric center in , last Friday. The hostages died instantly from rifle shots to the head, and Wong shot himself in the head with a shotgun. Officials said there was no indication any of the four was killed by a sheriff's deputy who exchanged shots with Wong.

The Sheriff of Napa County also acts as the county. According to the official report, the three hostages "all suffered immediately fatal head wounds caused by a high velocity projectile consistent with the rifle that the shooter, Albert Wong, used in this incident". Wong's fatal head wound was self-inflicted. Sheriff's Captain Steven Blower clarified that neither Wong nor the hostages was shot by the deputy.

According to authorities, Wong, a former Pathway resident, drove a rented car to the center Friday, March 9, and shortly after 10 AM, dressed in black and armed with a semi-automatic rifle, took five of the people at a leaving party hostage. The first call to the emergency number was made at about 10:20. About ten minutes later, shots were heard, and a sheriff's deputy and Wong exchanged fire. Wong then shut himself in a room with three of the hostages. The campus was evacuated, but there was no further contact with Wong. A little before 6 PM, a video feed from a remote-controlled robot showed the four people in the room were probably dead.

The three victims were all women. Christine Loeber, 48, was the executive director of the home. Jen Golick, 42, was its clinical director. Jennifer Gonzales Shushereba, 36, was a psychologist on the staff of the San Francisco Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare System and also worked with PsychArmor, a nonprofit group, to create a toolkit for college campuses to assist students with (PTSD). She was entering her last trimester of pregnancy.

Wong, 36, was a decorated veteran who served in the infantry in Afghanistan for a year in 2011–2012. He had been in treatment at the center for about a year but had been expelled two weeks before the hostage-taking because knives were found in his possession. His brother Tyrone Lampkin told , Wong had been angry and said he "wanted to get back at them", but what he had mentioned was to "talk to them, yell at them, not to kill them".

The Board of Directors of The Pathway Home announced on Wednesday that it would suspend operations "indefinitely". It is a ten-year-old non-profit in-patient center treating veterans with PTSD, brain injuries, depression and addictions on the campus of the. Yountville is a small town in the wine country a little more than 50 miles north of San Francisco. Founded as a last-resort center for intensive treatment of veterans who had not been helped by other approaches, it transitioned in 2015 to providing care to those not yet in crisis, including veterans studying at. The Veterans Home is the largest in the United States, with more than 900 residents.

China ends presidential term limits in constitutional amendment

March 13, 2018 On Sunday, China's (NPC) voted to amend the  in several ways, including eliminating term limits for the offices of President and Vice President. The changes mean Xi Jinping may be President for life if he so chooses.

The vote in the legislature was nearly unanimous. 2958 votes were cast in favor, two opposed, three abstained. Without this change, Xi would be required to leave office in 2023. In another change, was written into the constitution. "Xi Jinping thought", as the theory is also known, was approved by the in the autumn of 2017.

Shen Chunyao, the chairperson for the Commission for Legislative Affairs of the NPC, told, "As an important content of the amendment, the inclusion of Xi's thought into the country's fundamental law reflects the common aspiration of the entire Communist Party of China and all Chinese people of various ethnic groups".

News media reported a backlash to the news on the Internet. In response, state censors were blocking images of and words like "I disagree" and "Emperor". Reuters reported difficulties in getting reactions to the lifting of term limits from members of the congress, one woman choosing to remain anonymous and remarking, "You can't ask me that".

Under, the is a largely ceremonial office with limited powers. However, since 1993, as a matter of convention, the presidency has been held simultaneously by the, the top leader in the one-party. Xi Jinping's powerful positions as General Secretary and do not have any term limit.

Talk:United States: Coroner says former patient killed self and three hostages at California veterans center

Additional info on the shooter
I don't want to rely too heavily on the Press Democrat, but this March 10 article and this March 9 article derived from the same paper have more information on the shooter (and yet another number for how many residents there are at the whole center). This East Bay Times article also looks good, but is inaccessible with Adblock enabled. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:29, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Headline
Has it now been officially stated that he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound? When I wrote this up, it was explicitly said to be unknown whose shot killed him. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:21, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I was going by the WSET source, which says "The only shots that were heard at the center happened at around 10:30 a.m." and since then the police were unable to contact the shooter. And a witness reported four shots. I don't know if the source updated their content or if you are referring to a different source. --SVTCobra 21:36, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia seems to have drawn the same conclusion, not that they are an authority. --SVTCobra 21:41, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I saw a lot of "We haven't been told yet", including one specific warning that the police had not said, and there was "an exchange of gunfire" with a deputy. (The one inference I drew was that that was a sheriff's deputy.) So I think it's still in the article text as our not knowing whose shot killed the gunman. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:26, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see that in other sources. I changed title accordingly. I really wanted to get rid of the phrase "himself found dead". Sadly, the it looks like the ticking clock may claim this article as well. Cheers, --SVTCobra 08:41, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, unfortunately I only learned about this one next day when I saw a copy of the Mercury News at a corner store, and I then had to work; I started the article as soon as possible in break time. Such is our life these days. I see reviewers have been struggling with things like snow storms and power cuts. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:37, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's a bit rough. We haven't published an article in a long while. But returning to the shooting. I noticed, in addition to no one saying specifically Wong shot himself, it is also really vague if he shot all the three victims. Is it possible one or more was killed in the crossfire of the shootout? I was looking for follow-up articles to see if we could have a new focal event, and I saw articles saying investigators were being "unusually tight-lipped over the weekend". When the results of the investigation come out, perhaps there will be something newsworthy to revive this story. Cheers, --SVTCobra 15:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Review of revision 4389742 [Not ready]

 * Thanks for looking. Yes, lots of noncommittal statements, but the identity of the gunman was well established. I will look for follow-ups for a possible refocussing. Researching this the day after, I found very few sources still accessible to me recounted the events; they'd been largely replaced with bios of the victims. I wanted to identify all three victims with age and job title, and found I needed a second article to get the third age (I have an edit summary to that effect). I didn't see those pieces of info about the three victims in the sources I then tracked down on the events. If they're there, then one or both of the victim bio sources can be dropped. If there is later coverage, it may include those pieces of info. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Autopsy result
Parking this source here till I get home from work. Yngvadottir (talk) 13:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Review of revision 4390900 [Passed]

 * I think I would have tightened up the headline. Dropped "that", possibly changed "himself" to "self".  --Pi zero (talk) 23:41, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes, my friend. I was actually angry at myself for forgetting. It was one of my first thoughts. I really wanted to shorten it, but then I forgot and published. Afterwards, I thought, it'd be messy to rename now and it's not like we don't have loads of really long titles. However, do you think we should rename? --SVTCobra 23:45, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Looking at it, I went ahead and shortened. Check the redirect protections for me if you would. Grrr ... I can't believe I forgot. BTW, after using the review tool, a page comes up with "make this a lead?" and I do not understand the instructions there. The times I have made something a lead, I did it manually because I don't know how to use that page. Cheers, --SVTCobra 00:04, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi folks. Thanks very much for getting to this and publishing it. No butchery; I tried to explain earlier in the article what the "campus" referred to and where in Calif. this all happened, but I agree, it was clunky. You put it back to explaining all that at the end, which was how I think I'd originally done it. However, I notice it's not on the front page yet. When you wake up, could one of you put it up there? Yngvadottir (talk) 04:07, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It is in the 'latest news' column but not at the left, this is sometimes intentional if other news are more relevant. Could also be human error. --Gryllida (talk) 05:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I see George Ho put it in the left-hand section, thanks for that. Now I should add the sister link to en.wikipedia, although that needs updating. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Um, right-hand, actually. --George Ho (talk) 17:35, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

This is why it is useful for you to address the review concerns as soon as you receive them, immediately (assistance may be provided to beginners, but they need to be asking questions for this to happen, and abandoning stories just does not work and instead leads to them not being published).

Tips:

 * Wikinews articles are at least three paragraphs long.
 * The first paragraph answers the 5Ws: who, where, what, why, how, when.
 * Follow up comments immediately to help the article published while it is still fresh.

(The story is marked as abandoned and may be removed in 2 days (or moved to user space if requested)).

Mirror's exposé prompts call for inquiry into child abuse ring in Telford, England

March 13, 2018 On Monday,  (Member of Parliament) called for a public inquiry into an alleged child sexual exploitation ring in, , England, which may have been operating for 40 years and had as many as a thousand girls as victims. This came in direct response to an by the  the previous day. Allan wants an independent inquiry, similar that for the, which came to light in 2012 and had a similar scale and duration.

The Mirror alleges that hundreds of girls were raped, beaten, drugged and sold for sex. Victims were as young as 11 and at least three were killed. Details of negligence and outright misconduct by the authorities, including local council staff, the police and social workers, are also contained in the exposé.

"There must now be an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Telford so that our community can have absolute confidence in the authorities," Allan said. "The IICSA will not investigate whether any of the authorities in Telford should be accountable. That is why we must have an independent inquiry into what happened in Telford; such an inquiry is outside the current scope of the IICSA."

IICSA is the, which plans to look into the Telford situation, according to the BBC. In 2013, saw the breakup of a  ring in Telford with seven men of South Asian origin convicted. However, if the Mirror's report is accurate, it was only the tip of the iceberg.

Some of the alleged failings by authorities include social workers being aware of abuse without a police investigation for up to a decade; classifying underage girls as prostitutes instead of victims; not keeping records of alleged perpetrators out of fear it could look like racism; police not investigating despite five reports being filed. The Mirror also said the authorities actively tried to obstruct their investigation.

"Child sexual exploitation [CSE] is a vile, evil crime. It’s an issue right across the UK and has been for a long time. Telford will be covered by the national CSE review. We welcome this. All agencies continue to work very closely together and this remains our top priority," said a spokesperson for according to. "Our approach to CSE is now very different from 10-20 years ago. We have learned lots of lessons and are constantly on the lookout for indicators of CSE so that we can pass information on to police and bring these evil criminals to justice. Indeed, further cases are now coming to court."
