On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2016

July 17, 2016

The following is the second edition of a monthly series chronicling the U.S. 2016 presidential election. It features original material compiled throughout the previous month after an overview of the month's biggest stories.

In this month's edition on the campaign trail: the effect of the vote on the US presidential election is examined; a well known businessman and sports team owner pitches his candidacy for vice president; and Wikinews interviews the winner of the American Independent Party California primary.

Summary
As June began, national opinion polls showed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with a slight lead over presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Despite being mathematically eliminated, Senator Bernie Sanders remained in the Democratic race. He still held close in head-to-head match ups against Clinton in delegate-rich California ahead of that state's June 7 primary. Clinton, who won the June 4 Virgin Islands caucuses, focused her energies on Trump, delivering a speech criticizing his candidacy. Trump responded, saying the country "is gonna die" were Clinton elected president. Trump secured the holdout endorsement of House Speaker Paul Ryan and threats of a Republican establishment revolt subsided when ' writer, the preferred presidential choice of ' editor , announced he would not run. However, Trump came under intense criticism, largely from fellow Republicans, when he accused the judge hearing a lawsuit over his venture, , of bias due to the judge's Mexican heritage. Ryan called the comments "racist." Trump's former rivals John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and all denounced the comments. Lindsey Graham labeled Trump's remark "the most un-American thing from a politician since ." Senator renounced his endorsement of Trump. And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, an early Trump supporter and potential running mate, called Trump's statement "inexcusable" and "one of the worst mistakes Trump has made." Trump described Gingrich's criticism as "inappropriate." Shortly thereafter, Gingrich argued that Trump's concerns were "valid and reflect a growing pattern of politicized justice." Trump said the media and others "misconstrued" his words. Clinton speculated that Trump was using the attack to divert attention from the Trump University case. On the eve of the California primary, Clinton won Puerto Rico. With the delegates gained from her victory as well as a few additional, Clinton surpassed the 2,383 delegate threshold to secure the Democratic nomination. The Associated Press, NBC, and ABC all declared Clinton as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. The next day, Clinton won the California primary and also those held in New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota. Sanders won the Montana primary and North Dakota caucus. Sanders remained in the race but reportedly planned to cut his campaign staff by half. He announced plans to continue his campaign through the June 14 District of Columbia primary. On the Republican side, during what was the final night for GOP primaries, Trump swept all the June 7 contests in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota. In the end, Trump received a record total of 13.2 million votes in the GOP primaries. Still, his reserved only $1.2 million in television advertisements, compared to the $108 million Clinton's Super PAC reserved. In addition, Trump stepped back from his previous fundraising goal of $1 billion, insisting he only needed half that amount. In terms of running mates, Gingrich denied having any interest on the GOP side. For Democrats, Senate Minority Leader backed away from his initial reluctance and endorsed the idea of Senator  filling the role. Warren took to the stump, endorsing Clinton and condemning Trump as "a loud, nasty, thin-skinned, fraud" and "wannabe tyrant." In response, Trump tweeted his desire for "goofy" Warren to receive the vice presidential nomination and accused her of having a "nasty mouth" and "one of the least productive" records in the Senate. Other Democrats also gave their support to Clinton. President Barack Obama endorsed her candidacy as did former presidential rival. Sanders stopped short of supporting Clinton, but said he would "do everything in [his] power" to defeat Trump. On the other hand, several Republicans distanced themselves from Trump. GOP booster and CEO  hinted she would endorse Clinton, and 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he was leaning toward backing Libertarian Party presidential nominee. Romney said he could not back Trump because of Trump's "racism ... bigotry ... [and] misogyny." Trump responded that he was "the least racist person that you've ever encountered" and attacked Romney as "absolutely pathetic," saying Romney "choked like a dog" during his loss to President Obama in the 2012 presidential election. Polls from June 10 showed Clinton leading Trump nationwide with leads ranging from three to eleven percentage points. The campaign took a new turn on June 12 when a at a  in, Florida left 49 dead. The shooter expressed allegiance to. In the aftermath, Trump tweeted appreciation for those congratulating him for "being right on radical " but said he did not want the congratulations, preferring "toughness and vigilance" instead. He attacked President Obama as someone who "doesn't get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands." The Washington Post published an article interpreting the comment as suggesting Obama was "" in the shooting. In response, Trump revoked the press credentials of the Post. On the day following the shooting, Trump delivered a speech condemning it as "an assault on the ability of free people to live their lives, love who they want and express their identity". He criticized Clinton's immigration policies as opening the door for Islamic radicals espousing anti-LGBT views and said he would be a better protector of LGBT rights than Clinton. In addition, he slammed Clinton and Obama for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorism." Clinton, who denounced the shooting as an "act of terror" and "an act of hate," said she was comfortable using the term "radical ." This prompted Trump to declare he had "shamed" Clinton into using the term. Furthermore, Clinton touted her support for a ban on and gun ownership for those on the. Trump agreed on the last point and said he would attempt to convince the, which had endorsed him, to support such a measure. With the shooting dominating news coverage, the final Democratic primary was held on June 14 in Washington, D.C. Clinton handily defeated Sanders. A poll of Sanders supporters showed 22% planned to vote for Trump, 15% for Gary Johnson, and 55% for Clinton. The same poll showed a 12 point advantage for Clinton over Trump, 49% to 37% with 9% for Johnson. A CBS poll showed a tighter race with Clinton leading Trump 39% to 32% with Johnson at 11%. Clinton and Trump shared high unfavorable ratings in an ABC/Washington Post poll with 55% of respondents having a negative opinion of Clinton and 70% having a negative opinion of Trump.

Dissension within the Democratic Party appeared to crest in mid-June. Sanders finally admitted "it doesn't appear that I'm going to be the nominee" and said he planned to vote for Clinton in the general election. This came even as reports showed Sanders was not being considered for the vice presidential nomination. According to  the individuals being vetted for the position were Senator Warren, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development , Los Angeles Mayor , Senators , , and , as well as Congressmen and. Meanwhile, Trump's June struggles continued as the DNC opposition research file on him was hacked, reportedly by the Russian government, then leaked and published on. Trump accused the DNC of orchestrating the hack itself to publicize "misleading and/or entirely inaccurate" information. Next, a number of prominent Republicans endorsed Clinton, including former Deputy Secretary of State and former Treasury Secretary, both members of the George W. Bush administration. Congressman claimed there were many other Republicans who would privately vote for Clinton over Trump without saying so publicly. Reports of an anti-Trump delegate coup at the Republican National Convention were published in The Washington Post. Trump denied this as a media-crafted hoax. Additionally, Federal Election Commission reports showed the Trump campaign short on cash with only $1,289,507 available. Citing need for a change, Trump fired campaign manager replacing him with. Combating the dissension within the party, national co-chairman went on CNN, demanding Republicans "to get behind the presumptive nominee ...[or] just shut the hell up." The outlook for the Trump campaign improved with the vote in the United Kingdom to exit from the European Union. Trump publicly backed the exit, which was hailed as a populist reaction similar to the movement behind Trump. Trump, who was in Scotland at the time opening a golf course, explained the vote as the UK taking "back their country. That's a great thing." At the end of June, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed Trump trailing Clinton by only one point nationwide, 39% to 38%, with Johnson at 10% and presumptive Green Party presidential nominee at 6%. By June 30, a poll showed Trump with a four point lead over Clinton, 43% to 39%. In the average at the close of June, Clinton led Trump 44.6% to 39.8%.

Brexit's impact on the US presidential election
In June, the United Kingdom voted to exit from the European Union, resulting in the resignation of. This historic turn of events, termed the Brexit, had ramifications of international import. Particularly, the moment became one of political significance in the United States due to the involvement of both President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Comparisons of the anti-establishment Brexit movement were made with the anti-establishment campaign of Trump. Seeking professional analysis, Wikinews looked to political science to better understand the potential impact of the Brexit vote on the 2016 US presidential election.

Last April, President Obama inserted himself into the politics of Brexit, urging Britain to remain in the European Union. He wrote an editorial for  and held a press conference with Prime Minister Cameron in which he warned that if Britain divorced itself from the EU, it would go "to the back of the queue" in terms of a trade agreement with the United States. In contrast, Donald Trump argued in favor of Brexit, connecting it to the larger issue of immigration. Commentators noted the goals of the Brexit movement aligned with Trump's protectionist views on trade and support for immigration restriction. Former London, a leading proponent of Brexit, was himself compared to Trump.

The most immediate impact of Brexit on the United States came just after reports of the 52 percent to 48 percent vote, when stocks tanked. Markets rebounded somewhat since, though uncertainty remains. Hillary Clinton attacked Trump for the consequence. Her foreign policy advisor argued that "Trump actively rooted for this outcome and the economic turmoil in its wake". Clinton ran an ad in which she accused Trump of benefiting financially from a market downturn. Trump labeled the ad "disgraceful" and claimed she was "trying to wash away her bad judgment call on BREXIT with big dollar ads."

Trump's head-to-head polling numbers against Clinton increased somewhat after the June 23 vote. Trump rose in the survey from a five point deficit before to a four point lead after. In Gravis, Trump cut Clinton's four point lead in half. However, deficits for Trump remained unchanged for the / and the / polls.

Pollster of Zogby Analytics expects Trump's position to improve as a result of Brexit. He tells Wikinews, the vote "strengthens populism and gives Trump supporters some wind at their back." As for Clinton, he foresees difficulties due to the closeness of the race and the perception of Clinton as "the rep of the elites at a bad time to be so."

Political scientist, a professor of European Union politics at , mostly agrees. Though the Brexit impact is difficult to predict, McCormick explains to Wikinews that "some of the forces that led to Brexit are also behind the popularity of Donald Trump, and in that sense Brexit has opened the door a little wider to the possibility of a Trump presidency."

"A lot of people voted for Brexit because they resented the manner in which they thought establishment politicians had ignored their needs, or were fearful of more emigration, or disliked the effects of globalization, or had bought into populist warnings about the growing domestic threats of Islamist extremist terrorism", says McCormick, "So people here are going to be voting for Trump for many of the same reasons they voted for Brexit in the UK, and in that sense the vote will have an effect on the November election."

McCormick also believes further economic disturbance could result from Brexit, which could itself have an effect on the election as US voters head to the polls.

Amid talk of secession in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and London, the UK Conservative Party was to select a new Prime Minister to oversee Brexit and attempt to unify the kingdom. The selection was thought likely to be made in October, just a month ahead of the US presidential election.

Cuban makes vice presidential pitch
With the concluding its season in June,  owner  has a new sport to follow. As he revealed last August in a chat on his social media app Cyber Dust, "5 weeks till training camp [...] [b]ut until then Donald Trump watching is a sport." Though Cuban, a fellow businessman and billionaire, then praised Trump's unconventional candidacy as "probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time", and even offered himself as a possible running mate, he has since grown critical of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, questioning his wealth, temperament, and business acumen. The marked change has led to speculation about Cuban's own political aspirations. In May, members of the #NeverTrump movement approached him about running for president as an independent, which he rejected. He did, however, open himself to running as the running mate for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, punctuating that possibility with a statement that he is leaning toward voting for her over Trump in November. As the approaches, Cuban has continued to express his interest in the position.

Cuban addressed the vice presidency on the May 22 edition of , proclaiming that, if offered, he would join Clinton's ticket on the condition she "go more to the center" politically. He explained, "I like the fact that Senator Clinton has thought-out proposals." Nevertheless, he has criticized Clinton for having "no personality", "no charisma", and for making "horrible mistakes" as Secretary of State, mentioning the 2012 on the American consulate in, Libya. Nevertheless, Cuban says he is willing to look past all that, believing the main issue is "whether or not I can add value and whether or not I can impact any perspective and hopefully have a positive impact on the country".

James Pethokoukis, writing for , explains how Cuban can add value to a Democratic ticket. Describing Cuban as charismatic and well spoken, Pethokoukis says Cuban would neutralize Trump's appeal as an outsider candidate while making the Democratic ticket "more palatable" to disaffected Republicans. Though the nomination of a centrist businessman could upset progressives, Pethokoukis feels Cuban's Pennsylvania background could provide a compelling story for the majority of the electorate.

"Basically, Cuban is Trump", writes Pethokoukis, "without all the bigotry ... and without the insane policies ... and with probably more dough."

Kyle Kondik of the disagrees with Pethokoukis's premise. "To me, the first rule of vice presidential selection is 'first, do no harm'", he explains to Wikinews, "Cuban would be a risky choice for Clinton that does not provide an obvious benefit[...] One of Clinton's benefits in this election is that, compared to Trump, she seems qualified for the job and serious enough for the job. Picking Cuban doesn't really help her make that argument."

Dan Judy of North Star Opinion Research agrees, commenting to Wikinews that Cuban has "virtually no chance" of becoming Clinton's running mate because, "he's a political novice who doesn't bring much to the table in terms of shoring up Hillary's left flank, appealing to independents, or being a governing partner. Cuban's a colorful, outspoken guy, and I think he's just having fun. I don't think he has any real political ambitions."

Clinton insiders also say Cuban has no chance. However, Clinton herself is appreciative of Cuban's "openness," announcing on Meet the Press that she is "very interested" in considering "successful businesspeople" who have not held elected office.

Still, Cuban has continued to make media appearances touting himself as a potential vice presidential candidate. He even went on the attack against a front-runner for the position, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, arguing she is too far left and that if she were selected, he would probably vote for Trump. In addition, Cuban recently boasted to that Clinton "needs me" for the position.

At the end of June, Cuban met with former President, husband of Hillary, at a casual dinner party where politics were discussed.

Clinton is expected to choose a running mate before the July 25 National Convention commences in Philadelphia. Senators Warren, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and Julian Castro are among the favorites to receive the vice presidential nomination.

California American Independent Party primary winner speaks to Wikinews
Though most of the media attention of the June 7 California primary focused on the Democratic and Republican races, with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump winning each, respectively, the, the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, and the (AIP) all held primaries as well, owing to the fact that each has attained the status of political party in the state; a designation reserved for parties that can show they have registered members totaling greater than 0.33% of registered voters in the state, and maintained with either keeping registered voters at that percentage or holding 0.067% of registered voters while winning at least two percent of the vote in a statewide election. The largest of these third parties, the AIP, had seven participants in its primary. Wikinews reached out to the victor, Alan Spears, an attorney from.

The AIP is a group formerly affiliated with the Constitution Party. It opposes, abortion, and supports the construction of a fence along the. Though the party has an estimated half million registered members, three percent of all registered voters in California, a  poll shows 73% mistakenly joined the party believing they were registering as. As a result, these voters could only vote in the American Independent Party primary.

According to the latest count, 42,241 voted for the candidates on the ballot in the primary.  speculated Donald Trump won the primary since more than two thirds of voters wrote-in candidates, the majority believed to have been for Trump, but these votes were not counted. Of the candidates on the ballot, Spears won with 8,103 votes (19.2%). Former engineering technician Arthur Harris came in second with 7,216 (17.1%). 2012 AIP vice presidential nominee and hip hop artist finished third with 7,164 (17%). Fourth place, a pastor and TV host, edged fifth place J.R. Myers, chairman of the Constitution Party, by one vote, 5,476 to 5,475 (roughly 13% apiece). presidential nominee came in sixth with 4,462 (10.6%). Surprisingly, the AIP's 2012 presidential nominee came in last place with 4,345 votes (10.3%). The results of the primary are nonbinding. The AIP is to nominate its 2016 presidential ticket at its convention August 13–14.

Spears, who uses the slogan "Let's Restore America's Greatness," proclaims on his candidate statement provided to the, "[w]e [Americans] are at war with Islam!" He focuses his presidential campaign on the issue of, advocating the use of "overwhelming force" to combat it. Additionally, he believes the US government "must deal with hiding behind the  who seek to destroy our institutions," and supports an eradication of the "Deep ."

With Wikinews, Spears discusses his primary victory, the AIP nomination, ballot access, and what he hopes to accomplish with his campaign.

'''What is your reaction to winning the California American Independent Party presidential primary in June? Do you believe this victory will help you secure the AIP presidential nomination?'''

 * Spears: I was shocked and pleasantly surprised I won the AIP's California June 7th Primary. It wasn't by much of a margin, and the totality of the Party's votes were minuscule, but I feel I did make a VERY conservative statement.  I pray that it will [help secure the nomination]!

'''Are you attempting to appear on the ballot in other states? If so, where? If not, why?'''

 * Spears: I haven't a clue how to get on the primary ballots in other states, and I believe it is too late at this juncture.

What do you hope to accomplish by running for president?

 * Spears: My ultra-conservative politics are essential to the survival of the Republic. Trump spews rhetoric, but until quite recently his words lack meaning. He has little insight into foreign policy and military matters. God, how I wish I could trade positions with him!

Ronaldo-less Portugal beats France 1-0; wins Euro '16

July 12, 2016

On Sunday, Portugal defeated France 1–0 and won the UEFA Euro 2016 in extra time. Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was benched in the 25th minute after facing injury. scored the winning goal for the Portuguese.

Before the kick-off, two-time Euro winner presented the trophy. Both and Antoine Griezmann missed their shots on target early in the match. France had better ball possession. Ricardo Quaresma was substituted for Ronaldo in the 25th minute after Ronaldo was injured when bumped into him and Ronaldo had to be carried out on a stretcher. Nani wore the captain's armband. Gurrerio's shot was blocked in the 38h minute.

In the second half, Paul Pogba had a good chance to score but missed in the 54th minute. was brought in for Payet in the 58th minute. In the 75th minute, Olivier Giroud missed a chance to score from Coman's assist. was replaced by Éder in the 79th minute. As none of the sides could score a goal, the referee called extra time. This was the first final since 2000 to go into extra time which France won against their neighbours Italy 2–1.

In the second half of extra time, Éder scored from 's assist. The hosts were trailing with just eleven minutes to play. Though injured, Ronaldo was seen guiding the Portuguese players. The referee's final whistle of the tournament ignited celebration of the Portuguese supporters. France had defeated Portugal in their last ten matches face to face.

Portuguese defender Pepe was awarded the Man of the Match. Portugal are the tenth different country to win the Euro tournament.

Bayern Munich signing Renato Sanches became the youngest player to play a Euro final. He will turn 19 next month. He won the SOCAR Young Player of the Tournament award as well. Portuguese goalkeeper hasn't conceded a single goal in his last fourteen competitive games. Had France won the match, Munich's midfielder Coman would have been the youngest player to win the Euro tournament. Antoine Griezmann won the Golden boot scoring six goals in the tournament, the all-time highest being nine goals by.

After the match, Griezmann said, "It's cruel and magnificent at the same time. We've lived through some extraordinary moments, and the saddest moments as well. We have to learn. But tonight we gave it our all and we have no regrets. I'm proud of the squad, proud of everybody."

After Ronaldo played his first Euro match aged 19 in 2004, Portugal finally won a Euro tournament under his captainship aged 31.

Theresa May to become leader of the Conservative Party
Following the withdrawal of Mrs Leadsom from the Conservative Party leadership election, Party official George Brady said he was expecting to appoint Mrs May as the new party leader. Mrs May, the current, would succeed in this role, and it is expected she will also succeed him as.

Mrs Leadsom described a leadership election as "highly undesirable" for the country as she announced her decision to withdraw. She also said she felt she had insufficient support to win a leadership election.

Mr Cameron originally announced his intention to resign following the, and has now said he intends to offer his resignation following on Wednesday.

The player has scored nineteen goals for Chelsea, of which thirteen were scored last season.

Under José Mourinho's management, Willian has won the title and  in 2014–2015. Last season, Willian was voted the best player in the club by its supporters.

Corbyn to be included on UK Labour leadership election ballot
Hi. I've looked over the article; see my review comments. The most recent part of it is still only one day ago (despite the time delay before I was able to review it); cf. WN:Freshness.

Writing a first Wikinews article is a challenge; it's often been remarked we have a steep initial learning curve, which we try to help folks up, though most people find once they've got past that initial curve things get much easier. Earlier attempts are generally major learning experiences, regardless of whether they ultimately make it to publication (sometimes a first submission does finally get published, while at the other extreme some veteran Wikinewsies recall having lost more than one of their first few articles before they got the hang of it). --Pi zero (talk) 20:46, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Though you have tagged the article as breaking news, as per style guide, it must not be under minimal length. acagastya 11:00, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The sources would be updated sooner or later. Plus, there might be other sources which might have extra information. Well, I was wondering if you could help with Police officers shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana if time permits, please? acagastya 11:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I`ll try, but I`m quite new here
 * Breaking stories are a corner of our practices that hasn't been exercised much in recent times. I left some review comments on the subject.  --Pi zero (talk) 11:55, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * My reviewing has been especially sluggish for the past couple of days. I have this (sometimes annoying) rule to never apologize for not reviewing, since it's all volunteer labor — but I really do feel bad about not getting back to this article later on Tuesday (at which time there would have been no freshness problem), or on Wednesday (at which time an update might have made it fairly timely).  Review comments  --Pi zero (talk) 22:15, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Article views
Is there any way of finding out the view count per article? It would be interesting, and rather nice, to have a number showing that I am not writing into a void, even if the number is low. I was only able to find a website for wikipedia articles.
 * On any given article, looking at the page history, just above the list of revisions there should be a link that says "page view statistics". That link got changed recently, but the new toollabs thing seems to work tolerably well (although it's reporting an error for the article just published, probably because wherever it gets its data doesn't have anything accumulated that quickly; the old link ran about a day behind, I think, so maybe the new one does too).  --Pi zero (talk) 21:37, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Reviewer status
It appears that you are currently the only reviewer currently active on wikinews. The work you do is incredible but there are limits to the amount one person can do. It seems logical to me therefore that I should aim to at some point become a reviewer. I know what being a reviewer is and can see it requires a certain level of experience, but there is no explanation of what this level is. Any advice of what I can do to get the expertise required? or is it just a matter of time? --Russell's teapot (talk) 09:42, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This gives me a feeling of deja vu. Have you asked about this before, or what it someone else?  Hm. The character of review, and therefore the character of the reviewer selection process, has changed since the larger number of reviewer nominations were considered; realistically, the process is based on precedent, and there's a recent shortage of precedents on which to base it.  It might be useful for me to offer some historical perspective here on the broad sweep of how the character of review has evolved over the past few years; I may attempt to do that a bit later, but I'll defer it for now in favor of undertaking to do some review (having signally failed to get reviews done yesterday — and yes, the fact that an old friend of my mother's coming by to visit can take me out of review for an entire day is a facet of the problem).  --Pi zero (talk) 11:43, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * (Pokes nose) it was Keithman3, who asked about the process of becoming a reviewer and said "The only reason I ask is to maybe become a reviewer and help around here, since you seem to be running a one-man show." To be honest, when I read this talk page today, even I felt somebody has asked in a similar fashion. By the way, Russell's teapot, I saw an article you wrote was published. Congratulations! acagastya 19:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, hopefully I will get many more articles published in the future!--Russell's teapot (talk) 07:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * (another nose poker) Have you looked into becoming an accredited reporter here? That's a good starting point. --Bddpaux (talk) 18:53, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * thanks when I am free again in about two weeks I will try to become an accredited reporter.   also, both of you, is there an advantage other than getting a press card?Russell's teapot (talk)
 * You get an email address at wikinewsie.org, which is important because when you contact someone by email requesting an interview (most, though by no means all, of our interviews get conducted via email, with most of the documentation by forwarding the emails themselves to scoop), the interviewee is unlikely to take seriously a request from an address at hotmail.com or gmail.com or the like. An email from someone at wikinewsie.org stands a better chance of being taken seriously.  The record of accreditation is also placed on a fully protected page, so that third parties can verify it.  Both are, of course, ways that the project vouches for the accredited reporter to third parties, which is why we're very careful about who we accredit.  I'm not sure what the status of the press-cards thing is, atm.  --Pi zero (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Turkish president shows suport for reintroduction of death penalty at cross-party anti-coup rally
Unfortunately, problems still.

One of the most annoying opaque pieces of advice about writing, in my experience, is "use your own words". It's one of those things that tends to click at some point with an aha moment. I tried to offer a different way of looking at it, that might help, in my review comments.

In the very best synthesis writing I've seen, a given sentence of synthesis often contains facts that were widely scattered in the sources, either in different sources or at distant points in a single source; and if multiple facts from a source sentence are used, they're likely to be widely scattered in the synthesis article. A really good example can be something of a revelation to study, and I've been wondering for years how to illustrate it for newcomers to Wikinews so they can see it "from the inside" as a reviewer does; I haven't managed it yet, but it's still on my agenda. --Pi zero (talk) 20:49, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * thank you very much for putting in so much effort to explain it to me.

Reuters images
What are the rules regarding the use of Reuters images? I have seen other news sources use them.
 * We cannot "fair use" any image copyrighted by another news agency. That's built into our fair use policy.  --Pi zero (talk) 12:54, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * But I have noticed twice in the recent months, Al Jazeera releases some of the graphical photos in the Non-Commercial licence which can be used as fair use since Commons doesn't allow media which have restriction on the commercial use. When I was new here, even I used to think that we can use Reuters' photos. I guess, I am not alone. acagastya 13:37, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Implying connection
When writing a news article how does one include obvious but unconfirmed causation between two events, would I have to just provide a list of all the sources that have come to that conclusion to avoid analysis?

 * Generically (without looking at the particular circumstance), if you're not going to attribute, don't assert causation. A common technique is to juxtapose facts without claiming causation.  One needs to be careful of this, not to introduce implicit bias, but in reasonable cases, when well done, it can alert the reader to possible connections while leaving the reader to judge whether there is actually causation involved.  --Pi zero (talk) 17:05, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

UN tribunal dismisses Chinese claims to South China Sea

July 14, 2016

On Tuesday, a (UN) tribunal in  dismissed 's sovereignty claims to the, a body of water connecting to the  which is also bordered by the , , , , , and. Court battles over the claims between China and the Philippines go back to 2013.

These claims were established by China during the reign of its in the 1940s, marked by a demarcation line nicknamed its . Its line stretched hundreds of miles from the Chinese mainland, including about nine tenths of the entire sea. The South China Sea is a valuable property, providing passage for about 5 trillion in trade by planes and boats every year. China is not the only country to claim large parts of the sea; notably, Taiwan and Vietnam have also done so, but other large-scale claimants have been less militarily active about their claims than China.

China has built several artificial islands and military bases in the South China Sea. The tribunal scolded the impeding of fishing and exploration in the sea by China, which it deemed against the (UNCLOS), signed by China in 1982. The tribunal also concluded China knowingly permitted the poaching of endangered and  as well as destroyed  to construct artificial islands.

UNCLOS permits countries to claim a 200- area from their mainland, referred to as an exclusive economic zone. It also permits, allowing unimpeded exploration through "high seas": international waters also available for the use of fishing and trade passages.

There is no process to enforce the decision. UNCLOS allows countries to exclude themselves from "compulsory binding procedures for the settlement of disputes" as defined in Part XV, Section 3 - Article 298. China exercised this right to exclude themselves from compulsory binding procedures on August 25, 2006. They reject the jurisdiction or authority of the tribunal's findings. Various other countries have also exercised Article 298 partially or fully, such as, , the , , and.

Many nations made statements after the decision. The Chinese government opposed the decision, calling it "ill-founded". It said "China neither accepts nor recognizes" the decision. The Philippine government referred to the decision as a "milestone decision". The, a key ally with many of the countries claiming parts of the sea, said it was an "important contribution to the shared goal of a peaceful resolution to disputes in the South China Sea".

British rail minister Claire Perry steps down

July 16, 2016

Rail minister resigned on Thursday evening, after continuing problems with. Southern has an ongoing dispute with the (RMT) about increasing driver-only services, without conductors or guards. The union objected, citing concerns about job losses and driver safety.

mayor said "This utter mess is now an embarrassment to our city" and that he was "calling on the government to strip Southern of its franchise and take over the temporary responsibility of running these services." Transport secretary focused instead on the union, saying "Most industrial disputes are about threats to employment or conditions so the RMT's attitude is absurd. There is no threat to safety, no threat to jobs, no threat to pay and yet they continue disrupting passengers' lives on a daily basis."

In an attempt to reduce cancellations and delays, on Monday the company cut 341 trains a day, in light of the current staff shortages. They said since this change the trains' reliability improved from 60% on-time to 80%.

When you do have the ability to move pages, it should show up on the control bar at the top of the page, way over toward the right, on a dropdown menu.

Talk:Over 250 killed in failed coup attempt in Turkey

Why such a dramatic edit? Should I leave the rest to you? Should I use your sources or add my own?
 * I am sorry for removing the content; but there was no significant development of the article till 7:20 in the morning (UTC). What I feel is, if we delay at this point, the news story would lose its freshness. I have removed the editing tag. I believe I have covered information that you had previously added. You can still make edits to the article if you want to add something to it. You are free to add sources and information. acagastya 10:24, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Don`t worry, you have done much better then I would have done, I should have made it clear what I meant by morning. 	--Russell's teapot (talk) 10:39, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Review of revision 4234458 [Passed]

 * There's some history of the Turkish Military re secular government in Turkey, something mentioned I think in one or more of the sources and which could be of interest to readers as context for this incident. --Pi zero (talk) 20:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Why did you remove CAT:Middle East? Turkey is a country of the Mid East. acagastya 08:30, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I've always figured "Middle East" as a slightly arbitrary designation whose operational definition on Wikinews is our Category:Middle East. By our categories, Turkey is in Europe and Asia, because it's on both sides of the Bosphorus, but not in the Middle East; on the other side, Afghanistan isn't in the Middle East; and Egypt is in both the Middle East and Africa. because it straddles the Suez Canal.  --Pi zero (talk) 11:00, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
