Talk:Swaziland's King Mswati III signs gazette to rename country to eSwatini

Perspective
Although the simplest ways to compromise news neutrality involve non-attribution, it's also possible to produce a non-neutral report by omitting information in a misleading way. It is somewhat striking, here, that basically everything in this article is about what the king did and said. A natural question to ask is, is there another side to this story that isn't appearing here? Admittedly, sometimes a very short report just doesn't get into nuances; but, raising the question. --Pi zero (talk) 14:21, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Gazette
Looking at the sources "gazette" does seem to be the word for some form of legal document in African nations. However, it is my belief that this is a non-standard usage for the majority of English speakers. As such, it should be defined early in the article. Frankly, I still don't know what gazette means (in this context), and I was was searching quite a bit on the internet. --SVTCobra 18:01, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Not only in African countries. 223.237.192.239 (talk) 18:05, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That looks like a newspaper which is the standard use. It doesn't explain anything. Why are you unable to even explain what a 'gazette' is in this context? What is it? --SVTCobra 18:16, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is official government document from on GoI's website. I don't see a reason to explain a simple English word; but you can always use a . •–• 18:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you don't think I already did that? Do you even read the things you link to? It says newspaper. --SVTCobra 19:03, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No, I think you read only the part which helps your arguments. “the official journal published by the British government, and containing legal and state notices.” It is a word used in most of the British Commonwealth territories. 223.237.196.143 (talk) 19:07, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * And bullshit about the GoI link being law or legislation. It clearly says "weekly". It's just a newspaper published by the government. It's not law, even if it makes legal notifications. --SVTCobra 19:08, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Now, using your own words, please define "gazette" as it is used in this article. Stop posting irrelevant links. --SVTCobra 19:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, so now it is a bullshit? You think you can get away with adding "Law or legislation" and then blame me for that? I fail to see how that has any problem with the article. •–• 19:15, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * So you are admitting that you don't know what "gazette" means, even though you used it a bunch of times in the article. That is going to be fun review. --SVTCobra 19:17, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * For the avoidance of doubt, it's a, an official newspaper used for some but not all important state announcements. See for example the used by the UK government, the former colonial ruler of Swaziland, and which was the template for many of the current official gazettes. For example, you may have heard of some unknown American actress who got married over the weekend to a minor royal at an old castle near London, in Ye Olde England. The Queen issued some coins so we might remember who they are - here’s the digital page in the Gazette, which means it really was an announcement by the Queen. It's pretty much the same way the US does it, through the , at least until President Trump came along with his tweets. Green Giant (talk) 19:19, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Feel free whatever you want to assume, naja. 223.237.193.119 (talk) 19:22, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Surely, the common goal here is to produce an article that can be readily understood as widely as possible. A USian, using a term that might be misunderstood by some readers, might do well to provide a bit of explanation at first instance.  The same applies to other terms used in other places that might not be universally understood.  It can sometimes be quite difficult to explain terms, of course, as some people don't understand the term while other people don't see what needs explanation.  Thanks to Green Giant for helping out with this.  --Pi zero (talk) 19:34, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, Green G, it's a newspaper whether it is published by the government or not. What does signing a newspaper do or mean? The usage in this article is absolute baffling to me. --SVTCobra 19:35, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a government newspaper but not a general newspaper in the same sense as the NY Times. It is just a medium for the King (and the government) to formally announce important decisions. For example, one of the sources in the article is the Swaziland Times. If people read that article, some might believe the name has been changed but others might doubt it. However, if people read it in the official government newspaper, it removes any doubt about whether the King really did change the country name. Like I noted above, when the US President signs a presidential order or proclamation, we might see it on the TV news, with Pres. Trump holding it up. However, that same order will then be published in the Federal Register as a formal notification. I’m not sure if that makes sense to you but it’s no different to how many organisations might make an official announcement of the appointment of a new CEO by putting a notice on their website.
 * The Swaziland Gazette itself doesn’t seem to have a website but there is this transcript of the King’s speech when he signed the announcement - see the lower half of page 16. The only problems are it is undated and I found it through the third article on gov.sz. Green Giant (talk) 20:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I realise it is an absolute monarchy. But don't monarchs also put things into official law or a statute? This newspaper/gazette issue must look confusing to more than just me, even if I am an American snake. --SVTCobra 20:18, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Gazette is something most of the [formerly or still] monarch countries would have -- it is still in use in so many countries -- some news media (Italian ones) mention "Gazetta" in their name even if not regulated by the government. Canada (another one under GBR) has Gazette -- I guess the US is the odd one out. •–• 20:24, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Come on, Acagastya. There are tons of US newspapers with "Gazette" in their names. Of the ones you mentioned, do any of them carry the force of law? I don't think so. If Justin Trudeau signed whatever Canadian Gazette you are referring to, it would mean absolutely nothing. Is this protracted discussion really better than just fixing the article so people can understand it? What is the concept you are trying to defend? --SVTCobra 20:33, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I see your point SVTCobra. The word Gazette is not restricted to government use in these countries as far as I’m aware but "The Swaziland Government Gazette" is the only one with the word "government" in its name. There may be other gazettes in Swaziland and neighbouring countries but this is the only official Swazi government mouthpiece. Green Giant (talk) 22:16, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Belgian LGBT refuge shelter announced during annual Brussels Pride

May 21, 2018 First-ever Belgian refugee shelter "Refuge" for the victims of violence against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community was announced this Friday by the initiators, one day prior to Brussels' LGBT Pride rally. The refugee shelter is to open in the Belgian capital Brussels in July. Brussels is to grant 50 thousand euros as subsidies for the shelter.

Spokesperson of the "Refuge" said,.

Last year, 84 cases of discrimination against the LGBT community were reported to equal-rights organisation. Per this refuge programme, up to four victims of anti-LGBT mistreatment are to be provided shelter in a flat, whose location is not to be disclosed. The programme aims to accommodate up to ten such people by the end of this year. A similar refuge programme was launched in France fifteen years ago in 2003.

Saturday's Brussels Pride was the 23rd iteration of the annual pride which gathered around 100 thousand participants. The pride began at 2:30 PM, local time, at the Ravenstein street. This year's pride focused on the "Your Local Power" theme for the upcoming municipal elections scheduled for October. A number of politicians including the city Mayor, Johan Van den Driessche, Meyrem Almaci, Pascal Smet, as well as Sven Gatz attended the pride. Former Belgian prime minister was also one of the attendees.

Regarding this year's theme, the Pride's co-ordinator and spokesperson Elio De Bolle said,. Around 70 related events were organised since May 4. The pride parade ended at around 5 PM. One attack by counter-demonstrators was reported.

, State Secretary for the Equal Opportunities and politician Bianca Debaets said.

Football: Chelsea beats Manchester United 1-0 to win English FA Cup

May 22, 2018 London-based football club Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1–0 at the Wembley stadium on Monday to win the English. Belgian winger Eden Hazard, who was brought down by Manchester's in the penalty area, scored the only goal — a 22nd minute penalty — to win the match for The Blues as they won their eight FA Cup trophy, their first since 2012.

United had greater ball possession — 67%, twice Chelsea's. Manchester had eighteen shots, managing five on target; while the Londoners had just six shots, three on target. Early, in the first ten minutes, Hazard attempted to score a left-footed shot in the left corner, assisted by. Soon after 20 minutes on the clock, United defender Jones committed a foul on Hazard in the penalty area and was shown a yellow card. Match official Martin Oliver referred to video assistant referee and awarded Chelsea a penalty kick. Taking a short run, Hazard converted the spot-kick into a goal, sending United's goalkeeper David De Gea in the wrong direction. The first half ended in a 1–0 lead for The Blues, with Phil Jones the only one booked in that half.

In the 56th minute, United came close to equalising, but Chelsea's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois denied Marcus Rashford the chance to level up. A couple of minutes later, Manchester United's was shown yellow. In the 63rd minute, Alexis Sanchez almost equalised for United, from Jones's assist, but was caught offside. Manchester made a double-substitution in the 73rd minute as Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku came on for Rashford and replaced injured.

Spanish midfielder replaced Jones in the 87th minute, and Chelsea made their first substitution in the 89th minute when  came on for Olivier Giroud. Hazard was replaced by in the injury time, and Chelsea's Belgian goalkeeper Courtois got booked minutes before the final whistle.

This was the first domestic cup victory for the Italian manager Antonio Conte, who lost last year's FA Cup against Arsenal FC. Conte's Chelsea won the Premier League last season but finished fifth this time, missing out the UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.

After the victory, Conte said, "I'm very satisfied because today was very difficult [...] To win the FA Cup against a really strong team — a really great team like Manchester United — we must be pleased. It wasn't easy, but I'm very happy for our fans, for my players."

United's manager and former Chelsea boss José Mourinho said, "I congratulate them but I don't think they deserved to win". The Portuguese added, "Every defeat hurts, but for me personally the ones that hurt less are when you give everything and you go without any regrets. [...] I knew the opponent I was going to play against. I knew they have a compact low block with lots of physicality where they try to close everything." Manchester United finished second in the league this season, nineteen points behind their city rivals Manchester City.

FA Cup winners Chelsea earned 1.8 million prize money.

Radja Nainggolan announces international retirement after being left out of Belgian football world cup squad

May 23, 2018 On Monday, Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan announced his retirement from international football after he was left out of the national team squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup upcoming in June.

Radja Nainggolan, who plays for Italian club AS Roma, posted on Twitter saying,.

Nainggolan announced his decision soon after, Belgium team manager, shortlisted 28 players for the Russia World Cup. Martinez travelled to Rome to inform Nainggolan about his decision before announcing the shortlisted players. Nainggolan, who turned 30 earlier this month, scored two goals for AS Roma against English club Liverpool FC in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. In 2017, Roma club supporters voted Nainggolan the club's Player of the Season.

Explaining his decision to leave out Nainggolan, manager Martinez said, "It was a sad and difficult decision. He is a player with a lot of class and he was voted Roma's best player, but I've made my decision for purely tactical reasons." The Spaniard added, "We know that Radja has a very important role in his club and we cannot give him that role in our squad".

Martinez is to finalise and submit a 23-man squad for the World Cup tournament on June 4, after his team plays against Portugal in a friendly scheduled for June 2 in the Belgian capital Brussels. After Nainggolan was left out of the squad, former Belgian international said, "We must be the only country in the world to be making the trip without one of the best players in the world".

Belgium is in Group G for the World Cup, along with England, Panama, and Tunisia. Belgium is currently world number three in the FIFA rankings.

Greek police arrest four for attacking Thessaloniki mayor Yiannis Boutaris

May 22, 2018 Yesderday, Greek police charged four suspects for participating in mob violence against 's city mayor. The 75-year-old mayor was attacked on Saturday at a commemoration of victims of the.

According to police, three suspects were male — aged from seventeen to twenty — of Greek nationality and the fourth suspect was a mid-30s Georgian of Greek origin. Boutaris was reportedly told by persons in the crowd to leave the annual commemoration for the victims killed in a massacre during World War I by Turks as well as during the Greek-Turkish war. The mob was then seen kicking the mayor and throwing stones and bottles. The mayor was taken off the scene by his asides. Boutaris was later hospitalised, reportedly sustaining head, leg, and back injuries.

Describing the mayor's assailants as "far-right bullies", Greek Prime Minister said they would "have to face the consequences". Both ruling party as well as main opposition party New Democracy condemned the attack. Syriza called the violence a "fascist attempt to target and intimidate" Boutaris. New Democracy said officials should arrest the attackers "immediately".

Boutaris, who was reportedly at the hospital overnight, said in remarks to the news organization, "It was a nightmare[...] There were several people that attacked me. They were hitting me everywhere." The mayor called it a "despicable attack".

Boutaris has favoured multiculturalism, supporting the construction of a in Thessaloniki, and construction of monuments in honour of Turkish leaders. Boutaris had also supported policies that were LGBT+-friendly.

The three adults arrested — all but the seventeen-year-old — are to be tried on Wednesday.

Commonwealth confirms receiving Zimbabwe's application to rejoin the bloc

May 22, 2018 On Monday, the Secretary-General,, confirmed receipt of a formal request from Zimbabwe's President  to re-join the bloc.

Zimbabwe, which had been a member of the Commonwealth since its independence from British rule in 1980, had its membership suspended in 2002 for a disputed presidential election as well as cases of land grabbing from white farmers. Then Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe withdrew the country from the bloc in 2003. Mugabe, who had been Zimbabwe's president since 1980, was overthrown by a de facto military coup in November 2017.

In the application letter dated May 9, President Mnangagwa invited officials of the Commonwealth to observe the general elections in Zimbabwe which are scheduled to take place in July. British foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted, "Zimbabwe must now show commitment to Commonwealth values of democracy and human rights".

Patrica Scotland said, "Zimbabwe's eventual return to the Commonwealth, following a successful membership application, would be a momentous occasion, given our shared rich history". Currently, there are 53 nations in the Commonwealth. Previously, Ireland and Maldives had left the group in 1949 and 2016 respectively. No country has joined the bloc since Rwanda joined in 2009. Four former British territories — South Africa, Pakistan, Fiji as well as Gambia have re-joined the Commonwealth after quitting. Gambia rejoined in February, after five years. The then-President of Gambia Yahya Jammeh had left the Commonwealth in 2013.

Tribuneman2018, I am reviewing your request to be unblocked, or rather have the block changed so the underlying IP address is not blocked, allowing you to create a new username in accordance with WN:U and WN:ROLE. You were seen to be promoting Wikitribune in a somewhat spammy way, but one that also indicated that you feel Wikitribune is a superior news outlet to Wikinews. Given this sentiment, one can wonder why you want to contribute to Wikinews. So, I will ask you, what could we expect your contributions to be when you promise to act "in a fair way"? Cheers, --SVTCobra 14:05, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

A fair way
Never to advertise WikiTribune again. Contribute to WikiNews only. Never to spam or advertise anything. Sorry again SVTCobra PiZero Aga and others of wikinews sorry apoligies. Tribuneman2018 (talk) 17:53, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Can you elaborate, however, on what you are interested in doing here? Writing synthesis articles? Copy-editing? Something else? --SVTCobra 18:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Creating news articles, and i would like to start asap please. Tribuneman2018 (talk) 18:06, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you realise you cannot use Wikitribune as a source? Especially not their synthesis and opinion articles. They are in a pilot stage and have yet to demonstrate their editorial control. Are you an active contributor on Wikitribune? And if so, do you see a conflict of interest? --SVTCobra 18:31, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I will not use wikitribune sources. --Tribuneman2018 (talk) 20:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

IMO State local government election suffers setback
The tendency for local government elections to hold in Imo state come next month is remote if developments in the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC at the moment are anything to go by. Latest reports from the party office in Owerri have it that uncertainty is beclouding the expected conduct of the LG elections following a notice that all payments by aspiring councilors and chairmen to the coffers of the party for the purpose should stop henceforth. After seven years in office, Governor Rocahs Okorocha sometime this year announced intention to conduct LGA elections. A June date has been put down by the state government to organize the polls even as challenges have been trailing the decision of the governor. The storm in the state chapter of the party arising from the controversial congress of the party which commenced this May 2018, may have also affected the countdown to the contest with a notice asking the aspirants to stop paying into the account of APC, Imo State. According to a statement signed by one Hon Obioma Ireagwu who appended a signature as acting secretary of the state party, “Members of the All Progressive Congress, (APC) the Local Government Council Chairmanship and Councillorship Aspirants under the platform of APC are hereby directed to stop payment into the party’s Bank Account with Union Bank and or any other bank, until they are directed otherwise’ The statement which portends danger to the conduct of the election further disclosed that “Anybody who pays and or collects form from the former chairman and organizing Secretary or their agents does so at his or her risk” Trumpeta however learnt that the internal schisms in the state chapter will give the planned LGA election as serious choke making the June date unrealistic. The person who signed the statement ordering the aspirants not to pay into the company account is said to be part of factional APC state Exco enjoying support from the state government. Information reaching the medium has it since the conduct of the LGA and Ward Primaries in the state has not favoured the state governor, efforts are underway to likely quench preparations for the election. Further to this, except the regains full control of the State APC, it is obvious that the governor is likely not going to support the conduct so as it would not lose to the opposition.

Stacey Abrams becomes first black woman to gain major U.S. party nomination for governor of Georgia

May 25, 2018

On Tuesday night, became the United States Democratic Party's candidate for governor of the state of Georgia, the first black woman nominated for this office. If she wins the scheduled to be held in November, she would be the first woman governor of Georgia and the first black woman elected governor of any state in U.S. history. "I will be the governor who brings more than jobs to Georgia," Abrams said in her acceptance speech, "together, we can build career pipelines in renewable energy. We can spur creativity through a growing entertainment industry, and we can increase the strength of our trade unions to grow an economy that lifts every Georgian."

In the, 76.5% of participating registered Democrats and eligible independents voted for Abrams over her opponent, , to a total of 423,163 votes. Evans won 23.5%. Ahead of the primary, Abrams had announced a plan for winning the scheduled November election that focused on mobilizing and motivating liberal voters who would otherwise stay home on election day. Evans, who is from Georgia's rural northwest, sought to win over the contested moderate vote from the Republicans.

Adrianne Shropshire of BlackPAC, a group that supported Abrams, attributed her victory to strategy. "Stacey Abrams won this election because she reached out and engaged communities of color, particularly black voters, on the issues that they care about. This historic victory is a model for candidates all across the country." After the election, Evans immediately announced her support for Abrams.

Abrams is originally from, Mississippi, but moved to , Georgia, as a youth. She holds three degrees, including a law degree from and has worked as a lawyer and entrepreneur as well as serving in the Georgia state legislature. Her accomplishments include being the first woman to lead a major party in the Georgia General Assembly and being the first black person to head the.

Abrams stated her plans on her campaign website assuming victory in the November election: "As Georgia's next governor, I will prioritize economic mobility as key to ensuring our state is known as a place for prosperity. Poverty and inequality stand in the way of economic growth for our state through higher social costs, lost earnings, and weakened competitiveness." Specifics included an, expansion of protections for Georgians with disabilities, and ending workplace discrimination.

The other major party in this election is the Republican Party. The governorship has been held by Republicans since 2003, but previously Georgia has a long history of governors from the Democratic Party.

Abrams' opponent for November has yet to be determined. The current front runners for the Republican nomination for governor are Lieutenant Governor and Georgia Secretary of State, scheduled for a  on July 24.

Hi. Noticed you'd started an article (settling in to your new user account :-). Noticing that the headline doesn't follow our style guide, and from the contents it wasn't created using one of our article creation forms... some recommendations. I suggest you start by reading through Pillars of writing, which is a compact overview of what we do here. Then, Writing an article is a good tutorial on writing a first article here. (If you're up for something a bit longer, our Style guide is designed to be short enough to read straight through.) --Pi zero (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Gollum55 ... if you want to write about Al Horford, the headline should reflect the focus of the article, see naming conventions. Also, make use of source, as I did for your first source. I also added date which is a required element and categories. Good luck with the further development. Sometimes people start an article with the bare minimum and think it will magically be completed by other editors. That's not really how it works here. The surest way to get an article published is to develop it fully until it is ready for review. Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

English football: Arsenal appoints Unai Emery as new manager

May 24, 2018 Via their official website yesterday, English football club Arsenal FC announced as their new manager. In April, Arsenal announced their long-serving manager, Arsène Wenger, was to depart from Arsenal at the end of the season, after almost 22 seasons as manager of the London-based club.

Arsenal's chief executive Ivan Gazidis said, "Unai has an outstanding track record of success throughout his career, has developed some of the best young talent in Europe and plays an exciting, progressive style of football that fits Arsenal perfectly".

46-year-old Unai Emery spent the last two seasons managing French club Paris Saint-Germain, winning, as well as the French league title  during his tenure at the French capital club. Before moving to France, the Spanish manager managed for three seasons, winning three consecutive  titles. Emery did not sign a contract-extension with Paris and was succeeded by former Borussia Dortmund manager.

Arsenal finished sixth in the Premier League, this season; lowest ever since Wenger took on the management role in 1996. They lost to Atlético Madrid in the Europa League semi-finals this season and missed UEFA Champions League qualification for the second consecutive season. The Londoners have not won the league since 2004.

After signing the contract extension, Emery said, "I'm very excited to be given the responsibility to start this important new chapter in Arsenal's history." Chief executive Gazidis said the club made a "unanimous" decision to appoint the Spaniard.

US National Football League to fine teams if athletes kneel during national anthem

May 25, 2018 On Wednesday, the US National Football League (NFL) announced adopting a new policy of fining the clubs if their athletes knelt during the national anthem. Per the policy, athletes who do not wish to stand for the anthem are now permitted to stay in the locker room. Under the new policy, the commissioner can "impose appropriate discipline on league personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."

According to commissioner, in their meeting in NFL owners reached a unanimous decision. In the statement, Goodell said, "It was unfortunate that on-field protests created a false perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic [...] This is not and was never the case." Per the earlier policy, athletes had to be present on the sidelines of the field during the anthem.

Since 2016, when former quarterback  started kneeling during the pre-match national anthem in a protest against racial discrimination, police brutality and shooting of African-Americans by policemen, multiple athletes have joined the protests taking a knee when the US national anthem —  — was played. Kaepernick then said, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour".

The said the NFL did not consult them before announcing the policy. The day before the NFL's statement, the clubs agreed to donate 90 million US dollars (USD) to initiatives for social justice.

, a former teammate of Kaepernick who also took a knee during the national anthem, said, "I needed to use a platform to speak out for other people who didn't have a voice. So I joined Colin in protesting the issues in this country, which include police brutality, systemic oppression of black and brown people". He added, "This is not about disrespecting the military or the anthem. This is a way for me to bring awareness around these issues in our country."

The new policy now allows the clubs to devise their own provisions for fining or suspending the players. ' chairperson said, "There will be no club fines or suspensions or any sort of repercussions. If the team gets fined, that's just something I'll have to bear."

Owner of San Francisco 49ers abstained from voting for the NFL policy in Atlanta.

Former US president Barack Obama, in September 2016, said Kaepernick was "exercising his constitutional right". Current US president Donald Trump, in September 2017, called the athletes who knelt during the national anthem unpatriotic and "disgraceful". Trump also said, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired.'"

Regarding the new policy,, a defensive back for the , said, "What NFL owners did today was thwart the players' constitutional rights to express themselves and use our platform to draw attention to social injustices like racial inequality in our country. Everyone loses when voices get stifled." His teammate, who donated USD one million to charity last season, wrote on Twitter, "This is fear of a diminished bottom line. It's also a fear of a president turning his base against a corporation. This is not patriotism. Don't get it confused."

Retired quarterback tweeted saying, "I hope the NFL decides to completely stop all concession stand sales during the anthem as well. We wouldn't want people buying a $10 beer and an $8 hot dog during our sacred anthem. All TV camera crews must stop filming and direct attention at the flag too. Just seems fair." He later added, "Forced patriotism is the opposite of freedom."

About the new policy, Trump told Fox News, "You have to stand, proudly, for the national anthem or you shouldn't be playing. You shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country".

The NFL Player's Association said the union will "review the new 'policy' and challenge any aspect of it that is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement."

Talk:Stacey Abrams becomes first black woman to gain major U.S. party nomination for governor of Georgia

Review of revision 4408496 [Not ready]

 * 1. Changing the title is not a big deal.
 * 2. There are no issues with WN:FUTURE. "If..." is the conditional tense, not the future tense. "Plans" is in the present tense, not the future tense.
 * 3. I have added to the explanation of red and blue states. Please look at the dictionary definition for context.  I am American so I'm not the one to say whether the definition speaks to people who aren't, but I must confess that I'm not sure where you think people would get confused.
 * 4. The New York Times is not paywalled. Anyone may access up to ten free articles per month.  The last time this came up, I seem to remember you saying something like there's some reason why you specifically couldn't access the New York Times.  Maybe it was something to do with international borders or someone else at your university using up all your free spots.  In any case, whenever it is something that most of our reviewers can do but just not you specifically, then the thing to do is not to reject the article but to leave it for someone else to review.  That being said, I like to add the source information first and then work the article.  I checked NYT while looking for a good quote, which I didn't find.  I think I decided not to use it, and just forgot to remove the source tag. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If changing the title is no big deal, then you should have done it before submitting. WN:Future condition isn't met just by adding "if" -- the tone, the way it is said in the article is just not right. The real problem of red/blue state is not what it means, but why say it in the first place? That paragraph (even with the update) seems totally out of place. And NYT is paywalled. I tried to bypass it with the tricks, but could not. If a source is not used for the article, don't list it. Does not matter how you write an article, one is not supposed to list the sources which do not play any role in the article. •–• 02:49, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Regarding your comment about "someone at my university using up..." bullshit, cut it out. There is no need to bring that crap in this discussion when we have a strict policy against paywalled sources. •–• 02:49, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * "Not a big deal" does not mean "should have magically known that it would not be to your taste." It can also mean you could have changed it.
 * I already don't use paywalled sources. The New York Times is not paywalled. (Though it does look like they cut it to five from tem.) I don't know what you mean by "bringing up crap." I'm trying to remember what you said and pay attention to your situation as it relates to your role on the team here. Say "thank you" or say nothing. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:58, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How many times have you been told to minimise the information in parenthesis? How many times have you been told to write better headlines? Despite all our effort, if you are not going to make a real attempt, maybe magic is what we need. If "someone else at your university using up all your free spots" is not another bullshit assumption, I don't know what it is; but I would rather follow DFTT. But if you still want to persuade me to believe the source is not paywalled, you will have to try harder. •–• 03:15, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It is absolutely not your place to speak to me this way. You're acting as if I'm some underling who's disregarding all the scoldings and orders that they got from the boss, and that is not how Project Wiki works.  No one here is required to take orders from other participants.  It looks like you had a rotten day again and are looking for things to complain about.  Do what you want but don't do it here. Get your aggression out of your system some other way. Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * But it is totally okay to add paywalled source and then argue with the reviewer, and say crap like "someone else at your university using up all your free spots", or despite repeated notices about improving the headline, you show no signs of improvement. You have been told by at least three different reviewers on multiple occasions about these issues, but you still decide to make the talk page discussion about my "rotten day".
 * Acagastya, whenever you act like this, I no longer have the option of acting on any merited issue that might have been buried in your post. This is because I cannot afford to encourage you to treat me this way.  In the future, if you cannot speak to me like what I am, your colleague and your equal, then do not speak to me at all.  If that means you can't review articles that I draft, or can't review them at certain times, then so be it. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:44, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Darkfrog24, acagastya's review was not out of line. It's not up to a reporter to decide they don't want some reviewer to review their submissions; that would be very contrary to the principle of independent review.  And, to point out, the reporter-reviewer relationship is asymmetric, both always in function (they perform different roles in the production process) and here in expertise (acagastya understands Wikinews better than you do, which I quite see you don't want to believe).  --Pi zero (talk) 14:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Please remove your post (and this response of mine too). YOU ARE ENCOURAGING HIM. Speaking to me the way he has spoken to me in this thread is absolutely out of line.  He came here to pick a fight.   Notice how he's continued to argue "You think paywalled sources are okay!" when it's established that that is not an issue (the issue is rather the fact of whether NYT is really paywalled).  He has accused me of messing with him, using curse words, when he ought to say "you have misremembered what I said; it was really this." He's inventing some conversation about parentheses that didn't happen.  He's complaining about changes (the title) that I've already made as if I haven't made them.  He's generally getting in my face and acting like I have some obligation to obey him.  Please do not encourage this.  Please do not undermine my efforts to not reward it.
 * In the long run, this level of hostility is going to damage the project. We can't force Acagastya to stop (well we can, by blocking or banning), but we can refuse to escalate the situation.  Stop encouraging him. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:01, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I said, quite precisely, that the review was not out of line. That is a statement about the comments that appear within the review template at the top of this section, and I stand by my statement.  I do (for the record) think acagastya needs further practice at keeping his temper in extended discussions, but I see no fundamental problem with the review itself.  (If I were critiquing the passages referenced in the first [second] point, I would likely frame it differently, but this is a small point I don't see as terribly central to discussion here.) You seem to think xe's inventing criticisms for the sake of plaguing you with them; this doesn't seem plausible to me, as the concerns raised are pretty standard.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Btw, an analysis of the discussion in this section, which clearly went badly awry and also clearly started out reasonable on all sides, suggests the first moment where things started to go wrong was when the word "bullshit" appeared. --Pi zero (talk) 17:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Close, it was "If changing the title is no big deal, then you should have done it before submitting." Do I need to get into what's wrong with it? Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No, that wasn't disrespectful. The basic point was about proactively eliminating concerns before submission.  There was a subsequent squabble about whether the parentheses concern was one that had had come up in discussion with you in the past, but even a discussion of that point could have been conducted respectfully by all parties.  It wasn't, things had already started going sideways by then, but it could have been.  And at the point of the passage you quote, things were still on an even keel.  --Pi zero (talk) 18:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks like yes I do have to explain what was wrong with it. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:03, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * What Acagastya is doing here is qualitatively different from being disrespectful (the term we use when children do not show enough deference to their elders). I looked and I can't find the article I want right now.  It's a psychology source giving examples, with their official names, of things people do when they're trying to pick a fight.  This post focuses on "If changing the title is no big deal ...submitting" but I can go on to the rest of what Acagastya said if need be.
 * Look at my first response to the review statement. I agree with Acagastya in some places (by changing the title of the article) and disagree in others.  Acagastya responds combatively on all four points.  When you take a swing at someone regardless of whether they were agreeing or disagreeing with you, it means you showed up to take a swing at them.
 * When I did something that can be construed as obeying Acagastya, changing the title, instead of saying either "thanks, that's better" or nothing, he upped the ante: he said that I had done something wrong by using the first title. ("more more MOOOOORE!! You obeyed me a little and that proves you know you have to obey me ALWAYS!!") That punishes me for acting on reviewer statements. You must have been in arguments in which you said, "Well I guess you could be right about C" and the person responded, "So you admit you're wrong about A, B, and C!!" I don't remember what it's called but that's what this is.
 * It doesn't matter whether writers should "proactively address concerns before submission" because that's not what's going on here: There was no concern before submission. Presupposing that I should have known not the first title was unusable is problematic in a few ways.
 * It's entirely fictitious. The first title wasn't unusable.  I chose it because it's so similar to many other titles that got approved.
 * It's physically impossible. Let's say Acagastya sincerely thinks it's unusable.  I could not reasonably have known that ahead of time.  That demands that I pay so much attention to Acagastya as an individual that I may as well read his mind, a herculean effort for infinitesimal results.  It is so much less work for Acagastya to just state his opinion when it comes up.  That amounts to a mountain of your time and effort is worth less than a cup of mine.  Which is extra messed up because I chose it specifically with Acagastya in mind: We all care about catering to international audiences, but Acagastya is the most vocal about this.  I thought about Acagastya when I made sure the title established that the article was about Georgia the state and not the country.  Again, "no, you owe me MOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!"
 * Now let's look at the literal side. "If changing the title is no big deal, then you should have done it before submitting" doesn't make logical sense because whether or not something is a big deal has nothing to do with whether it needs to be done before hitting review. Big or small, tasks that are necessary need to be done before review and those that are optional or unnecessary don't. Acagastya is repeating my words back to me.  I don't remember what psychological trick that is, but I think it's something like "Well if you KNEW it was raining, why didn't you make me breakfast?" trying to start with one thing that has been accepted by both parties (here, "its' raining") and trying to use it to prove an unrelated point ("you are obligated to make me breakfast") while skipping over the connection between the two—because there really isn't one.
 * Summary, Acagastya, consciously or otherwise, is doing a bunch of things that you do when you want to pick a fight. There are things we have to accept to participate in Wikinews, like articles timing out, other people editing our work, and all the site's rules, but abuse from other editors is not one of them.
 * So what does all of the above have to do with you, ? There's a reason I'm addressing this post to you specifically.  You have to stop encouraging him.  It's not your responsibility to resolve issues between other Wikinewsies, but you have to not make it worse.  Whether that means staying out of it entirely or not is up to you.
 * When you say "There is nothing wrong with X part of what Acagastya said" he is likely to read that as "Acagastya is 100% right and should continue acting the way he's acting." It's just how people work, like reading horoscopes.
 * Similarly, Acagastya is likely to read any compliance with his posts as validation. So when I walk away/decline to take the bait/refuse to reward, don't undermine my efforts.  Don't say, "Yes, [Acagastya or anyone] was abusive/inappropriate/etc. when he said to do X, but won't you do it anyway?" The answer is no.  No emotional blackmail for the not-really-abandoned article.  In the long run, preventing or dispelling a toxic environment is more important than any one article.
 * Accept that sharing your opinion, as you did here, constitutes getting involved. Acknowledge that no one made you do that.  Decide ahead of time whether you really see fit to get involved, and then don't blame anyone else for your decision. (Notice you don't seem to have done that here.)
 * One thing I do ask—and this goes out to the floor—I'm using "disengage" because that's the conflict resolution technique that I know. Technique singular.  If anyone knows another one that they think would work, here defined as shutting down the creepy power trips, "email this user" is at left.  Open invitation.  Not a promise to do it, just to listen with an open mind.
 * You don't just have the option of staying out of it, you have the right to. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:33, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact that Acagastya has not posted here again is a good sign. That could be for any of several reasons.  I'm going to try to take it to a good place. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:48, 26 May 2018 (UTC) EDIT: This whole part of the conversation is about it being all right to walk away, and credit where credit's due, it looks like Acagastya walked away too. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:39, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment
Cheers, --SVTCobra 03:10, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Appears to be fixed.
 * 2) A. "If she wins the election in November" is not problematic, because Abrams would be the first. B. In this one, I would eliminate the "if" and the interpretation of "focus" and just introduce the quote. "Abrams has stated on her campaign website, 'As governor ...'". Or something like that.
 * 3) It seems pointless to introduce American political colloquialisms such as Red and Blue states, if they are not referenced in any other paragraph. Reps and Dems is enough. I could understand explaining it if there was a quote from someone who used the color reference, but there's not.
 * 4) NYT and WP both allow a few article views per month. But I can tell you, I use those up in a day or two. And it is views, not articles. Look at the same article twice and it counts. At the moment, I can't view either of those sources, which I suspect would hamper my ability to review this article.
 * You sure about the Washington Post? I know the Wall Street Journal creates problems, but I've never had one with the Washington Post. Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Make whatever changes you see fit. I'm afraid that at this point I can't do it myself without tacitly consenting to what Acagastya's doing, and I'm not okay with that. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Quite sure: "We're glad you're enjoying The Washington Post. Get access to this story, and every story, on the web and in our apps with our Basic Digital subscription. Keep reading for $10 $1. View features" --SVTCobra 13:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Weird. That does not show up when I view the Post, and I definitely don't have a subscription. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:04, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The only thing I used the Post for was a transcript of the speech, so it was simple enough to switch it out. "11alive" looked sketchy at first but it's an NBC subsidiary with a quirky name. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I remain conflicted about the fifth paragraph or "red/blue" paragraph. There is definitely value in introducing the international reader to the de-facto of the US, but I fail to see why the colors need to be introduced. But it is not really in the sources, even as it may be common knowledge to any American. Nor was the other historical note about Georgia's voting patterns. I'd be in favor of scrapping the paragraph, if it were not for the two-party thing. --SVTCobra 15:29, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The information on voting patterns in Georgia is in the Newsweek source, way down near the bottom (suggested string search: "red state"). I don't think the political  in the US matters much here, and I agree the colors serve no useful purpose.  --Pi zero (talk) 18:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Do or don't do, but don't wait for me. I need to disengage. Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It's your article. Basically, everyone here would rather write than review, and the act of review is, at its heart, an act of helping others to achieve publication; sometimes publication of the particular article, always too publication of future articles.  If you distance yourself from the fate of the article, and don't expect to use it to improve your future articles either, that cuts out key motives for reviewers to address it either.  --Pi zero (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You should not try to emotionally blackmail me into putting up with abuse. I am not a punching bag.
 * If anyone gets in my face, tries to pick a fight, casts me without my permission as their bitch in some personal power trip scenario, or otherwise degrades me in any way, not only do I have the right to step away, but I am being an extra extra team player by doing that and no more. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:00, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what's sadder, your hypocritical use of me as your punching bag, or your mistaking of the unvarnished truth for some sort of emotional ploy. --Pi zero (talk) 01:58, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not using you as a punching bag, Pi zero. I am telling you which of your actions is damaging our shared environment: When I walk away from a fight, don't try to pull me back in.  Which of my actions makes you feel punched?  That is not a rhetorical question.  Within reason, I'm willing to change the way I talk to you. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:23, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

"Election" vs. "primary"
So I looked at the page history and saw this change. Yeah... The strategies in question are for winning the election, not the primary itself (which is why I used that word). The statement is still true, but maybe an "in November" could clear it up some more. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:06, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If you look at that paragraph, it talks about the results of the primary election. It's a total non-sequitur to have it close with a planned strategy for the general election, especially for Evans who lost. Note, they are both elections. I trust you can see how that didn't make sense to me. --SVTCobra 00:12, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I mean the sources say "Abrams won the primary election because the primary voters thought she had a better strategy for the November election than Evans did." I made a change to the text. Is it clearer now? Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:US National Football League to fine teams if athletes kneel during national anthem

Note
Recalling what happened in the past -- this article is not abandoned, I am working on it -- just because I have not saved the revision does not mean I am afk. •–• 02:58, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Crime and law?
Both the category and infobox seem a bit extreme here. The rules established by the league aren't on the level of law. And certainly, nobody is talking about crimes here. Moral crimes, notwithstanding. --SVTCobra 14:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Attribution needed
"Though Kaepernick and other athletes have been exercising their constitutional rights" ... says who? That is not at all an objective or even true statement about the First Amendment. --SVTCobra 15:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Paragraph with Obama and Trump quotes
Remove "even" or replace it with "also". Since the Obama quote was dated, Trump made those comments in 2017, not after the focal event. --SVTCobra 17:51, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Review of revision 4408867 [Passed]
I must reiterate my disagreement with the use of category:Crime and law and Crime and law. There is no crime being discussed. There is no law involved with this, despite people bringing up the First Amendment. This is an article about a corporate policy and the public sentiment surrounding it. category:Economy and business would be more applicable than crime and law. --SVTCobra 21:46, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * My suggestion of Economy and business, was not to say it would be the best. In all seriousness, I think this should be using Sports or Politics and conflicts. --SVTCobra 22:01, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Alternative possibility suggested. Sight/revert/revise?  --Pi zero (talk) 22:13, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How about United States? It does seem to be a uniquely American issue. --SVTCobra 22:17, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Did this come out of the Owners Meeting, Rules and Regulation meeting, or an amendment to the collective bargaining agreement. AZOperator (talk) 02:14, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The article does say owners. --Pi zero (talk) 02:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Just curious, the NFL is a huge bureaucracy. Something of this magnitude must have went through a number of groups. AZOperator (talk) 16:15, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Not really. It was just the owners meeting in Atlanta. They say "unanimous" because nobody voted against the rule change, but some owners abstained apparently. The owners probably negotiated that before voting. As such, the Jets' owner, who abstained, has said he will not make team rules against kneeling. If his team is fined, he will pay that fine and not discipline or make the players pay. --SVTCobra 16:27, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Thread:Comments:Greek police arrest four for attacking Thessaloniki mayor Yiannis Boutaris/Not too smart/reply

Anyone who wants closer ties with what's happening in Turkey has, at the least, something strange going on in their head. It puts me in mind of Donald Trump advocating more friendly diplomatic relations with Russia. Nobody I know of age 75 or over would deliberately set themselves up for a beating; but then, I don't know anybody advocating cozying up to these sorts of regimes.

Thread:Comments:Greek police arrest four for attacking Thessaloniki mayor Yiannis Boutaris/Not too smart/reply (2)

I just watched the video. It wasn't like he received a back alley beat-down. He had an entourage with him. But, damn, the entire crowd was against him. Throwing trash at him, yelling at him. And then a few guys, on separate occasions, ran in close enough to throw a punch or attempt a kick.
