The President spoke to the press on the of the White House later on Tuesday, saying "I've worked with Mike Pompeo now for quite some time. Tremendous energy, tremendous intellect. We're always on the same wavelength. The relationship has always been very good and that's what I need as Secretary of State."

Trump wished Tillerson well, adding that "Rex and I have been talking about this for a long time. We — we got along actually quite well, but we disagreed on things," continued the President. "When you look at the, I think it's terrible. I guess he thought it was OK. I wanted to either break it or do something, and he felt a little bit differently."

According to NBC News and Reuters, there have been months of disagreements between Trump and Tillerson leading up to the dismissal.

British scientist Stephen Hawking dies aged 76

March 17, 2018 British Stephen Hawking died at his home in Cambridge, England, early on Wednesday morning, a family spokesman said that day. Hawking was 76 years old.

His children released the following statement: "We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world. He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever."

Astronomer royal Lord Rees said of Hawking, "Stephen was far from being the archetypal unworldy or nerdish scientist. His personality remained amazingly unwarped by his frustrations[...] Few, if any, of Einstein’s successors have done more to deepen our insights into gravity, space and time."

Hawking studied at Oxford and Cambridge Universities and was in 1979 awarded a post once held by, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. His scientific work focused on fundamental aspects of the universe and space, including black holes. The heat emitted from black holes is called after him. He was also known for placing bets with other researchers about who would disprove whose theories, as with one he lost to, over whether black holes can permanently remove information from the universe — Hawking conceded they probably cannot.

Hawking was diagnosed with, also called Lou Gherig's disease, as a young man and spent much of his life in a wheelchair. Doctors predicted he would not live to be 25. Since losing the use of his voice after a in 1985, Hawking communicated with a computer-aided speech system.

Hawking maintained a public image to an extent that drew criticism from some of his peers. He became widely known to the general public for his 1988 book, ', and has made cameo appearances on many popular television shows, including ', ', and '. He was also the subject of the 2014 biopic .

"Not since Albert Einstein has a scientist so captured the public imagination and endeared himself to tens of millions of people around the world," fellow physicist Michio Kaku of the was quoted by the New York Times.

Despite many other honors, including the, , and , the from U.S. President Barack Obama and being named a , Stephen Hawking was not awarded a Nobel Prize. He explained, "The Nobel is given only for theoretical work that has been confirmed by observation. It is very, very difficult to observe the things I have worked on."

In a 1989 remark to, Hawking observed, "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star[...] But we can understand the universe. That makes us something very special."

Hawking is survived by his three children, Lucy, Robert, and Tim, and three grandchildren.

Doubt it. I don't think he is capable of making sophisticated plans. He does everything spur-of-the moment. For example, he didn't mention it to a single person before he announced his meeting with Kim Jong-un.

Talk:British scientist Stephen Hawking dies aged 76

Review of revision 4390219 [Not ready]

 * "Is called" and "has been called" mean two different things. "Is called" is another way of saying "that's its name," that this radiation is regularly and habitually called "Hawking radiation" right now. "Has been called" means that it is only sometimes called "Hawking radiation" and that name is either one of two or more important names or that the term "Hawking radiation" has fallen out of use. A brief web search for "Hawking Radiation" indicates that the term is indeed still in use.
 * I do not feel that "gravity is a fundamental aspect of the universe" needs to be sourced in the article because it is common knowledge. Here are three articles that refer to gravity as a fundamental part of the universe: How Stuff Works Cornell University Laboratory West Texas A&M University
 * The John Preskill bet is in the USA Today source. Hit CTRL-F "Preskill" and it will take you right there. I just this minute found out that there's a Wikipedia article, on this bet.  I have added text to address your other issues, including a second source for the statement from Hawking's family. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:17, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Confirm Preskill is in the source. I may have typoed it. Sorry.
 * Re "fundamental aspects" I'm not sure what to do with it, thanks for sharing your view. I'll leave it to someone else to check (which may or may not be me depending on the timing of my other work today)
 * Confirm the statement is now supported by two independent sources.
 * Couldn't fully grasp the 'is called' idea you just said. If the past tense becomes another idiom, 'was named in his honor' construct could be used. ( ❌ )
 * Re the Preskill sentence - thanks for adding 'Hawking conceded that they probably cannot.'. (
 * Re the Preskill sentence - it is supported by only one source. I'd attribute it: add 'According to US News', until or unless it is verifiable somewhere else. ( ❌ )
 * Paragraph six does have a mention of new york times, This is good thank you.
 * I've picked on the 'not done' items and edited the article. --Gryllida (talk) 03:23, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

It would, however, be a mistake to underestimate his ability to implement long term plans (especially if they're simple). I agree these high-profile moves are generally whimsical.

US toy retail giant Toys 'R' Us files for liquidation in United States

March 15, 2018

This morning, United States-based toy retail giant filed for liquidation with. The company had about 735 stores in the country which may be closed as a result of the liquidation.

The motion came after the US holidays, after which the company said its revenue fell short of expectations. Toys "R" Us was seeking cooperation with its business to leave 200 stores open, the court papers said. The company said it would be unable to realize an earlier goal to leave as many as 400 stores open.

The papers filed in the court indicated that the United States holiday sales produced revenue US$250 million short of the expectations. In the report to the court, Toys "R" Us blamed in part its weakened e-commerce business. It wrote, "The stark reality is that the debtors are projected to run out of cash in the U.S. in May 2018."

Toys "R" Us chief executive officer Dave Brandon said, "This is a profoundly sad day for us as well as the millions of kids and families who we have served for the past 70 years."

Toys "R" Us said it was preparing to sell its businesses in Asia and Central Europe, including, , and.

In September 2017, Toys "R" Us filed for bankruptcy in the US and Canada, and a judge allowed a US$2 billion loan.

,, and purchased Toys "R" Us for US$6.6 billion in 2005. According to, the company had US$4.9 billion in debt at that time, which made it difficult for the company to adapt to the changing market.

Name
I just want to point out for the record, the quotation marks in Toys "R" Us are part of the official name of the company. --SVTCobra 12:12, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Our practice modernly has been to use single-quotes in headlines for what we'd use double-quotes for in the body of an article; I'm considering whether or not these double-quotes are subject to that transformation. --Pi zero (talk) 14:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I should think not. We are not talking about their use for quoting something, but rather as non-letter characters, much like ₹ or $. --SVTCobra 14:38, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hm, that's the argument on that side, yes, without which I wouldn't raise the question at all. On the other hand, functionally the quotes aren't arbitrary symbols, they're there to indicate the letter should be pronounced by name, and as functional punctuation they would be subject to the convention.  Looking through references on Wikipedia, I see headlines with Toys 'R' Us, Toys "R" Us, and of course Toys R Us.  I like the single quotes because when one then cites the article, it comes out right with double quotes around the headline and single quotes within (which, come to think, is likely a significant motive for our convention). --Pi zero (talk) 14:45, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

// /* Author : Svetlana Tkachenko svetlana@members.fsf.org Licence: GPLv3+ Description: [beta] adds '{{W Links' tab

1. First, it looks through for hard foreign links, like ..., and lists them to you. Clicking submit changes them to use the 'W' template and reloads the page.

2. If no hard foreign links are found, for each {{W link which has a local target you are presented with three options: - no change - change it to a local link, do not add category - change it to a local link, add category (if it does not exist already) Clicking submit makes the necessary modifications and reloads the page.

Mirroring Wikinews
I would like to mirror Wikinews to facilitate on-wiki JavaScript development that is difficult to do here because we can not publish arbitrary articles on the main site. This means a MediaWiki instance on another server with the same extensions, settings, and content. When mirroring content, is there a particular reason to keep the entire revision history? Or is it sufficient to only mirror the latest revision? This could save a lot of time and space. --Gryllida 10:25, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It is best for attribution. What exactly would constitute a legal attribution is probably an open question. For instance, you could probably have a footer that says, "This page edited by Wikinews users [x], [y], and [z]" or post something similar on the talk page. If you are just intending to do this mirror personally and it's not liable to have much or any traffic on the Web, it's probably not an issue either way but just some nice etiquette. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Per the boilerplate at the bottom of Wikinews pages, it is only necessary to attribute Wikinews. Per the terms of service, the easiest way it to do it properly is to link back to the original article:

 * Cheers, --SVTCobra 13:48, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * At en.wb, when we import pages from sister projects (usually Wikipedia), in addition to whatever revisions we import (maybe all, maybe just one or three), the imported page also has a line in its revision history that says "<number> revisions imported from <link>", which guarantees that the imported revision history includes a link to the url of the original page. --Pi zero (talk) 14:15, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I believe linking to the original where the page is imported from already solves the attribution problem. Would Koavf agree? --Gryllida 19:30, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I certainly think so--referring to a URI is a completely legitimate citation. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:39, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks! --Gryllida 10:39, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Are there issues, other than "attribution is less clear but still available" as discussed above? --Gryllida 19:30, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Design Refresh - 2 Parts
A few of the old folks around here might remember about 2009-ish when the Vector was brand new, we were one of the first Wiki's to request it be implemented as the default skin. I think it's about time we lead the way again (granted I don't know how early we are this time around). If you've not already, give the new Timeless skin a try. Its nice, different yes, but also responsive - which is a major bonus.

Second item that goes hand-in-hand with the first. Update/Overhaul/Refresh the homepage and add CSS Grid support. The current design is wonderful (I should know, I was the idiot who went cowboy on the front page overhaul) but about 8 years old. It also isn't responsive. As content authors I know no one really cares that much about cellphones (you're certainly not going to be writing the news on a phone), but a huge portion of content consumption these days in on the go. I think it's worth working on catering towards that demographic, especially if it doesn't require huge sacrifices from other areas.

And yes, I know this (and me) are out of the blue. I lurk. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 03:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * inactive-lurking… -  Amgine | t 04:09, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Indeed. Lives change. I thought I had something I could contribute to help and the time to it so I thought I'd say something. Every time someone has reached out to me for something I've been responsive. But that being said, if it's not of interest - so be it. No big deal. -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 05:06, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * So prickly!! <grin> I was putting myself in that class, but pointing out that I am listening despite inactivity. Just as last time I haven't much to say about design/appearance. I sort of like the look of Timeless; not as minimalist as certain retired skins (Nostalgia) -  Amgine | t 05:12, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As someone who grew up pre-Internet, I'm still fascinated (as well as worried, of course) by how extraordinarily easy it is for folks to misread each other's tone on the internet. Despite my general disapproval of "Assume Good Faith", at least it's trying to address the problem of reading negative tone where none was intended (not that it succeeds, but I have sympathy for something that tries). (I have little to offer on the raised style issue myself, as I dislike Vector and consequently still use monobook.)  --Pi zero (talk) 12:15, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As a technical incompetent with no idea of web design, may I ask a stupid question? What do you mean by "responsive"? Yngvadottir (talk) 17:55, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * "Responsive" is the new "dynamic" or "DHTML" if you remember back that far--things change as user behavior changes but it doesn't load a new page. In this case, CSS Grid is actually a really incredible way of using CSS to align elements on a page that allows them to be shuffled around and move elastically as the browser is resized or as you scroll. It replaces flexbox if that means much to you. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:01, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * /me pictures things changing unpredictably and is skeptical. --Pi zero (talk) 12:04, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Think of how nice and easy it is to lay out a web page as a table, but how some people with smaller screens have to scroll to see the all the information? Responsive means the page rearranges to suit the client, but still is easy to lay out. (And I would serve time in purgatory for this over-simplification if there were an after-life.) -  Amgine | t 16:07, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If you've not looked at any CSS Grid demos or experiments online, you really should. It's pretty spectacular what it can do versus flexbox or the horribly incorrect tables-for-layout in HTML. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:01, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Concur that the timeless skin is nice. I would set it on by default. I discovered it last week. Gryllida 01:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure precisely how to rewrite the front page. Perhaps someone (possibly several people) could attempt to do this in their user space. Gryllida 01:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * What do you have in mind for rewriting the front page? Do you have a mock-up of something you would like to see? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:01, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The "±" icon leads to editing the template, and is visible to anyone, including people who are not logged in -- perhaps this could be shown only to sysops.
 * I'd suggest to rely on DIVs more than on tables. Sample (its codes for historical reference).
 * Now to think of it, what bugs me is that when the user clicks a topic, a list of articles is presented without images. I'd rather have it shown in the same formatting as on the front page. --Gryllida 00:04, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

I rather like the Timeless skin. I like the way to puts the article contents into a central column. It's easier on your eyes to read in a more restrict column than from edge-to-edge, at least on my computer screen. —mikemoral (talk) 23:57, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps endorse Isarra's grant application to continue development of timeless skin -- they've authored it and are willing to continue to maintain it if adequate support is provided. --Gryllida 00:28, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

GSoC
Per this wikitech-l message we might make a list of tasks and if we find mentors then students may implement them. User:Gryllida/Tasks is one possible list. What are the desired tasks and their priorities? --Gryllida 20:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I had asked Pi zero about requesting dialog tools as a GSoC project last year, and also to mentor it; we could do that now. •–• 01:40, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Then someone needs to add the idea to mw:Google Summer of Code/2018 following the provided template. Gryllida 07:17, 14 February 2018 (UTC) (URLFIXED 07:23, 14 February 2018 (UTC))
 * Correction: I was advised that, rather than adding the proposal to the wiki page I linked above, the first step is fling a phabricator task and tagging it with "google-summer-of-code-2018". It is also necessary to say who is mentoring it from May to August. This page has recommendations on the skills required from a mentor. There can be more than one mentor for such project as this exposes the students to more technical expertise and a backup mentor may be able to respond to questions of complex nature or questions asked at a time when another mentor is unavailable. --Gryllida 11:22, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Plagiarism check script
If you add " importScript('User:Gryllida/js/plagiarismcheck.js'); " to Special:MyPage/common.js, it adds a 'Open in DupDet' tab. This provides a list of links to dupdet results against the external links present in the currently open article. Is this how you use dupdet? Does this help you so that you do not copy/paste the URLs into dupdet by hand? --Gryllida 00:35, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

After seeing dupdet results, do you go back to the article to find where the offending passages are located? --Gryllida 00:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

If you go back to the article to find the offending passages do you use 'edit > find in page' or you find them from memory by re-reading (or skimming) the article? --Gryllida 00:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

If you go back to the article to find the offending passages then it may also need to be addressed by the script, for example, by highlighting the relevant text and providing footnotes that contain the dupdet results for the highlighted passage. This would be only in your web browser and would not be saved in the article. Would that be a useful way to put it? --Gryllida 00:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

On Screen Edit gadget not fully functioning
"On screen edit: Allows person to hilight, strikeout, delete text in a WYSIWYG type editor (not a real editor; no save). Meant to help reviewers to keep track of what they've reviewed by allowing them to mark sections of the text. Once enabled, adds line to toolbar at bottom of left column" -- Special:Preferences

That's ticked, and an "On screen edit" is present in the left sidebar. However that produces an error message:

ReferenceError: onScreenEditInit is not defined 1 onScreenEditInit;void%200:1:1 javascript:onScreenEditInit;void%200:1:1

Appending "?debug=yes" to a page URL slows it down tremendously, but the on screen edit starts working as the text formatting controls appear at the top of the screen and they work to highlight the currently selected text. Not sure where the different behaviour comes from. --Gryllida 21:11, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * OnScreenEdit (see WN:Tips on reviewing articles), was a simple (aka "quick and dirty") device that Bawolff created for us years ago, exploiting a feature that had just been added to... I'm guessing, html. For several years (iirc) I used it for practically every review, to keep track of which bits of the article I'd verified, which were problematic in one or another way.  The one frustration with it was that it had absolutely no memory, so if you ever accidentally navigated off the page you'd been on-screen-edit-ing, when you came back all your on-screen-edits would be gone.  Then the (gratuitous, afaics) tinkering of the Foundation disabled it; permanently, I'm guessing.  But by about then I had enough of my dialog tools working to easily create the breadboard device, with which it is somewhat more cumbersome to highlight things (I use background color), but it has the advantage that if you accidentally navigate away and back again, your work is still there.  --Pi zero (talk) 21:22, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I fixed the gadget. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:32, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bawolff! --Gryllida 00:50, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Cool. Thanks Bawolff! :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 01:08, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Reproduced the issue with going away from the page. Implemented a new version which uses localStorage. It adds a 'save' and 'restore' buttons to the On Screen Edit toolbar.
 * User:Gryllida/js/onScreenEditWithLocalStorage.js
 * Does that work well? --Gryllida 01:25, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Special:Version shows that Extension:StructuredDiscussions (Flow) is installed. However it's not being used on this wiki. Do we want it removed? Perhaps this could be held as a vote. (We're using wiki markup for the Talk: namespace, and Extension:LQT for Comments: namespace.) --Gryllida 07:43, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Should this discussion be moved to the policy water cooler? At any rate, We discussed Flow on Wikinews years ago and agreed that LQT, with all its faults, is superior for the one thing we use it for that Flow would even be a candidate for.  For my part, I believe that for wikis to thrive, wiki markup should be the ground representation for everything, and Flow is a symptom of the Foundation's failure to understand this.  And in my own experience (such as it is) of projects that make use of Flow, any discussion page that uses Flow is painfully cut off from the otherwise ubiquitous and flexible wiki-markup-based infrastructure (an inherent design failure of the whole concept of Flow).  Flow should be removed.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Switching or not switching to the Timeless skin by default
Drawing from the discussion above, this is a dedicated section to comment on the suggestion to switch to timeless skin by default. Preview; the relevant preferences pane. To make the outcome actionable it may be formatted as a vote. --Gryllida 07:46, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I've been using Timeless for the last week and can say I am very fond of it. One aesthetic consideration is the logo at top, it's the word "Wikinews" written in the same font as Wikipedia's logo. Something should replace that for some distinction from the sister site. —mikemoral (talk · contribs) 08:24, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

disable visual editor for anonymous contributors
Do we want to set "VisualEditorDisableForAnons" to "true" to disable visual editor for anonymous contributors? Currently they are presented with a 'Switch to visual editor' or 'continue editing' welcome dialog at the time of creating a new page, and VisualEditor is poorly adapted to suit the news writing needs...

Interested people would still be able to log in and enable visual editor in an opt-in manner.

--Gryllida 00:25, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Seems a reasonable thing to do. --Pi zero (talk) 00:38, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I strongly oppose it because of the reason provided. Let us not assume what “interested people” want. •–• 02:40, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Global preferences available for testing
.

Greetings,

Global preferences, a highly request feature in the 2016 Community Wishlist, is available for testing.

 * 1) Read over the help page, it is brief and has screenshots
 * 2) Login or register an account on Beta English Wikipedia
 * 3) Visit Global Preferences and try enabling and disabling some settings
 * 4) Visit some other language and project test wikis such as English Wikivoyage, the Hebrew Wikipedia and test the settings
 * 5) Report your findings, experience, bugs, and other observations

Once the team has feedback on design issues, bugs, and other things that might need worked out, the problems will be addressed and global preferences will be sent to the wikis.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! --Keegan (WMF) (talk) 00:24, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Sydney experiences hottest March day in 35 years

March 22, 2018

On this Sunday,, Australia experienced its hottest March day in 35 years. Temperatures reached 40.5°C at. This followed the two hottest March months in 1983 and 1965 whose maximum temperatures were 41.2°C and 41.1°C respectively, according to post-1940 climate data provided by (BOM). The hot temperatures were caused by north-westerly winds which brought heat from the inside of the continent.

At the beaches any sea breeze was countered by north-westerly winds, and beach-side areas experienced 39°C. BOM reported NQ and NNW winds 20km/h to 40km/h with 40-60km/h gusts.

BOM recorded maximum temperature of 40.5°C at Sydney Airport (AP) weather station, reported. Wikinews obtained data from BOM that contained maximums for every 10 minutes that confirmed the maximum between 15:30 and 15:40 on the day. Wikinews also observed the temperature of 40.7C via a weather station at a residential property at 17:50 Sunday afternoon.

The present record occurred on March 18, more than a week later than the 1965 and 1983 records that had happened on the March 6 and March 9 respectively, according to the climate data published online at the BOM website.

On the hot Sunday, an out-of-control bushfire took place in Tarraganda and near, southeast. The bushfire damaged "dozens" of homes and crossed the Bega river on Sunday afternoon,  reported. New South Wales Rescue Fire Service issued an emergency warning to residents in Tathra, advising people to seek shelter.

NSW Fire Rescue Service declared total fire bans and fire weather warnings in 11 areas of the state: Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter, Illawarra/Shoalhaven, Far South Coast, Monaro Alpine, Southern Ranges, Central Ranges, North Western, Lower Central W Plains, Sthn Slopes and the Eastern Riverina.

Toronto Comicon celebrates characters from screen and page

March 28, 2018

Held from March 16 to 18, Toronto 2018, in Ontario, Canada, featured dozens of retailers, a large artist's alley, celebrity guests, cosplayers, and community groups. Wikinews was present and later spoke to some of the cosplayers.

Celebrity guests included, the new Chewbacca actor for Star Wars; of ';  of ');  of ';  of ', '); and  of '; among others.

Many of the actors and artists were featured in Q&A sessions, including Follows, Brave Rock, and Hodor from ,.

Cosplayers on their process, inspiration
One group of nine cosplayers, four of whom are pictured in this article, went as a group called "Eeveelutions". They collectively represented the  character, and its eight evoluions within the games. The group of individual cosplayers began to prepare in early January, communicating "through group chat, sharing tips and photos and getting more and more excited for Comicon," cosplayer Dayna the Sloth told Wikinews. "It was a great way for us to bond as well. We all became great friends."

Each woman in the group made their outfits by hand, Dayna noted. "Each girl made her own build. We are all incredibly proud of each other and couldn't have asked for a better group."

Regular attendees of Toronto Comicon and sister event Fan Expo Canada, the "Cosplay Sisters" were made official cosplay guests at this year's event. One of the cosplayers, Stephanie, told Wikinews "The cosplays keep getting better and better each year with more people dressing up! This con we decided to dress up as some of the X-Men: Emma frost, Psylocke and Mystique. We had a lot of fun getting dressed up as some of our favourite mutants."

Also an official cosplay guest with booth, professional model and cosplayer Holly Wolf told Wikinews she loves video games and movies, and "cosplay is an outlet to express that love. Cosplay and comic con is the perfect way to celebrate [your] favourite fandoms, and interact with Like minded people around you."

Another cosplayer, known as "iluvcookiess Cosplay", attended Toronto Comicon in a of a  named Berrie. Asked by Wikinews on why she dressed up, she replied "cosplaying and fursuiting gives you a chance to break free from your every day, it brings confidence, comfort, and creativity." Public reaction is also a key factor: "I love seeing the smiles on peoples faces when they see my fursuit [...] and the joy when they interact with her".

Said Trillian Zee, of why she chose the lead Sailor Scout, "wearing to a convention is always my favorite because it reminds me why I love my hobbies. I feel like I get so much love and support from other  fans and it really motivates me to make something bigger and better for the next con."

Culture of creativity features at Furnal Equinox 2018

March 25, 2018

Visual art, fabric art, photography, performance, dance, virtual reality, and music were all the subject of sessions at Furnal Equinox 2018, a conference held from March 16 to 18 at Toronto's. Canada's largest convention by attendance, the annual event offers dozens of subculture-specific programs.

The convention's communications and public relations coordinator for the event, Ronnie, describes furries as "people that enjoy arts and culture centred around animals and animal-themed topics, essentially. Furnal Equinox in particular, we like to celebrate in a very visual and very [...] artistic nature, where we have lots of arts and performances and crafts that go on, and people celebrate with lots of socialisation involved."

Of the attendees, Ronnie told Wikinews "they come from all walks of life. They are people of all ages, sizes, all sorts of backgrounds, and they come together under one mutual interest, which is their love for animal culture."

"Programming at Furnal Equinox involves[...] a lot of informational panels, so you can find out about topics from art and how to draw, or how to visually incorporate different elements into your artworks. You can also find panels that teach you how to write better, be a better fiction author for example," explained the event representative.

At one panel Wikinews attended, members of its all-volunteer organising committee spoke of the year-long process of planning the event, and their reasons for committing such a significant amount of their time. Said one panelist, "if you're happy, we're happy."

Attendees in fursuit
Only 10–15% of people within the fandom own a fursuit, according to a 2011 study, contrary to the impression that this photo montage may give.
