Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu announced this during the 75th world congress of the international real estate federation (FIABCI), held at Eko Hotel and Suites on Tuesday 10.

Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by commissioner for Housing, Mr. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, stated that about 10,000 housing units has been provided, in the past six years, with the attempt to build up housing development, promotes social stability by providing shelter, reducing homelessness, also fostering community well-being across the state.

== What is special about Wikinews? ==
{{help nav}}
Anyone can contribute, and articles are written collaboratively for a global audience. We strive at all times to meet the policy of writing and reporting from a [[Wikinews:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], ensuring our reporting is as fair as possible.

Furthermore, everything we write is [[Wikinews:Cite sources|cited]], to maintain the highest standards of reliability.

Our policy is to omit opinion and commentary in our articles &amp;mdash; if you want to tell the world what you think, try blogging.

Wikinews, like its big sister Wikipedia, is run and funded by volunteers donating their time and money, and has no advertising. Decisions are made collectively, and we like to negotiate. Discussion is encouraged, and there are plenty of people around to learn from.

Everything that's done on the wiki can be undone, so it's very friendly to new users. The interface is designed to be easy to use and easy to learn.

==What Wikinews articles are==
Wikinews has two main types of article:
*The most common is the '''synthesis article'''. These draw on media reports from many other sources (always fully [[Wikinews:Cite sources|cited]]). It is rare for other media stories to contain all the available facts, so we provide a more rounded and detailed report. We can also strip out any bias and present a neutral point of view.

*The other type of articles is '''original reporting'''. These are first-hand news reports written by Wikinews contributors. You can read more about this type of reporting at [[Wikinews:Original reporting]].

What exactly Wikinews covers is explained by the [[Wikinews:Content guide|content guide]]. Some examples are available at [[Wikinews:Featured articles]].

== Where do I start? ==

=== Learn to edit MediaWiki ===

Some essentials are needed by anyone who would like to work on articles. For one thing, you will need to know [[Wikinews:How to edit a page|how to edit a page]]. However, don't concern yourself too much with that. There are plenty of people willing to help you if you need help in that area. You can also try our [[Wikinews:Sandbox|wiki sandbox]], which lets you try the code however you want.

===What you can edit===
In virtually all circumstances, anyone can edit an article not yet published (see the [[#Review|Review]] section below) and talk pages (see the [[#Talk pages|Talk pages]] section below). After an article is published, you frequently cannot edit it if you don't have an account or your account is less than four days old, and, at least a week after publication (ordinarily), articles are [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archived]] so only [[Wikinews:Administrators|administrators]] can edit them. You can request an edit be made using {{tl|editprotected}} on the talk page. Note the archive conventions' restrictions on post-publish edits.

=== Start reading, start writing===

Published articles appear on the [[Main Page]]. You could start off by reading some of those: you might find errors to correct, and get an idea of what others are writing here.

Articles which need work appear at [[Wikinews:Newsroom]]. You can find out how to write new articles [[Wikinews:Writing an article|here]].

== Like to know more? ==

=== Review ===
All articles must go through independent [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles|review]] prior to the &quot;publish&quot; stage.

=== Wikinews' Style guide ===

Like most publications, Wikinews has its own [[Wikinews:Style guide|style guide]], which helps its contributors make their efforts blend in harmony to produce a finished look. The style guide also contains a lot of tips and grammar guides. But you can pick up 99% of what you need to know just by looking at existing articles.

=== Research using Wikinews' Research desk ===

If you need to research something for an article, you'll find plenty of resources on our [[Wikinews:Research Desk]].  There is also a {{w|Wikipedia:News sources|page}} on Wikipedia that organises news sources by region.

=== Communicating with other Wikinews users ===

A number of facilities exist in order to communicate your intentions, suggestions and questions, with other Wikinews users.

==== Talk pages ====

Click on the 'Collaboration' link at the top of any article to go to its associated talk page. By editing the Talk page, you can leave comments for other readers. Each user who has edited Wikinews before also has a Talk page for their username, where you can leave comments for that user.

==== Article flags ====

[[Wikinews:Article flags]] invite people to work on certain aspects of an article or inform them about the state of the article, including a number of common problems which arise.

==== Water cooler ====

The [[Wikinews:Water cooler]] is the place to discuss general Wikinews issues.

==== Live chat via IRC ====

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel #wikinews and #wikinews-en on irc://irc.libera.chat. You will not even need an IRC client if you use the {{IRC|web interface}}.

== Still confused? ==

If you're lost, try [[Wikinews:Contents]].

Not quite sure if Wikinews is for you? Or if you are doing the right thing?

Try these:
*[[Wikinews:Mission statement]]
*[[Wikinews:What Wikinews is]]
*[[Wikinews:What Wikinews is not]]
*[[Wikinews:Policies and guidelines]]

Or ask someone at the [[Wikinews:Welcommittee|Wikinews Welcommittee]]!

== Disputes ==

Disputes are inevitable. We are all very friendly here at Wikinews, but it is a little chaotic, and no one can see the whole of Wikinews all at once. We are not mind-readers, and as nifty as Wikinews is, even this is not a perfect communication medium.

Please be [[Wikinews:Etiquette|patient and polite]] when you have a dispute.

Tips for resolving serious disputes are at [[Wikinews:Dispute resolution]].

== Reviewers and administrators ==

Wikinews, like all wikis, tries to be non-hierarchical, to the extent possible for the tasks we perform.  Individual differences between users are more recognized here than on many wikis, with attention paid to individual [[Wikinews:Never assume|accumulated reputations]].  Some technical tasks have to be reserved for trusted users, and for these we have reviewers and admins.

== Assistance with quotes and copyright policy ==

I edited article at request of a user concerned with copyright violation:

[[Sandstorm in Iraq leaves thousands hospitalised]]

The quote of concern was:

* UN has listed Iraq as one of the five countries 'most vulnerable' to climate change]]

At their request due to similarity to the BBC source, I changed it to

* UN has listed Iraq as one of the five countries most at risk from climate change

The respective discussion is located at the talk page of the article.

Note that I disagree with this change. I think that the previous revision was equally as bad as having a quote from someone (say, &quot;A suicide bomber blew himself up as the car was next to a passenger bus passing through the market,&quot; from [[Bomb explosion in Pakistani market kills 49]]). I don't know how Wikipedia handles those, but as far as I know, in Wikinews quotes are allowed. If this is incorrect regarding the quote above somehow, please let me know. (if it is an issue, then the {{tl|quote box}} and similar templates need to be deleted. It did seem to me that they were consciously added with existing consensus for that using quotes as part of news articles is allowed and licence incompatibility is not an issue for some fancy reason.)

Additionally this is only two words. I think the classic limit is three words. Nitpicking on two words which are already enclosed in quotation marks and already attributed does not appear to be required to me.

While article is already 'on the safer side' now, I think it would be good to have consensus about how and in what conditions quotes are allowed, and what is 'over quoted' and what is permitted.

I ask to keep the other copyright violations from the backlog out of this discussion. They may or may not be more substantial. I ask to not bring that up here (seriously). The only concerning issue to me is how to write (and review) quotes in the future.

I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:36, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:cc @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:In my opinion, the problem with the [[Special:Diff/4857202|previous revision]] was not the 'most vulnerable' part, but that the sentence as a whole repeated 11 consecutive words from the BBC article, the only modification being the addition of quotation marks. The [[Special:Diff/4857202|last revision]] is an improvement, but an even better phrasing would probably be something like &quot;According to the UN, Iraq is among the five nations most likely to be critically affected by climate change.&quot;
:Short quotes are not copyright violations as per [[WN:SG#Quotes]], but I think they should be summarized whenever possible. [[User:Dsuke1998AEOS|Dsuke1998]][[Special:Contributions/Dsuke1998AEOS|AEOS]] ('''[[User talk:Dsuke1998AEOS|talk]]''') 13:33, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for raising this discussion, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]].

::To clarify, properly attributed quotes are indeed not considered plagiarism. However, in this case, the issue was not limited to just the two words in quotes. The phrase in question, &quot;...as one of the five countries &quot;most vulnerable&quot; to climate change...&quot;, was lifted verbatim from the BBC source without clear attribution.

::By using Earwig to evaluate Revision ID 4857202—[https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&amp;project=wikinews&amp;oldid=4857202&amp;action=search&amp;use_engine=1&amp;use_links=1 (permalink, valid for 72 hours)]—it’s evident that at least nine words (excluding the two words in quotes) were taken directly from the BBC article. This indicates the phrase’s originality and length go beyond a typical brief quote and constitute a significant reuse of source material without sufficient attribution or rewriting. When published, the article contained over 30 words worth of identical phrases. Over ''ten times'' our stated limit. 

::As proposed in [[WN:Plagiarism]], the threshold of three consecutive words is the rule of thumb and the norm generally practiced here. This standard was discussed during the original proposed guideline at [[User talk:Brian McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism#Define plagiarism]], is outlined in [[Wikinews:Tips on reviewing articles]], and most importantly is mentioned by our [[WN:Pillars]]. The threshold is ''well'' established.

::Thus, the proposed change wasn’t merely nitpicking but rather a necessary correction to ensure the content aligns with both our licensing requirements and well-established and long-practiced journalistic standards. While the current revision may now be on “the safer side,” it’s crucial to emphasize that we aim to avoid such close similarities altogether, especially when it comes to extensive verbatim copying. 

::Rather than a broader conversation on thresholds for quoting, what’s really needed is a clear, collective, and cohesive understanding of what Wikinews considers [[WN:plagiarism]] and how to avoid it in the first place. This understanding will guide us in both writing and reviewing articles effectively and responsibly. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:39, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

== Request for Review: Tamil Nadu Maternal Mental Health Article ==

Hi all ,

I’ve just submitted a new article titled &quot;Tamil Nadu’s maternal mental health work sparks global disaster resilience debate&quot;, which looks at how local maternal mental health initiatives are being recognized by global institutions like the UNDRR and Harvard CID as models for climate resilience and disaster preparedness.

This is my first article here, and I’d be incredibly grateful if someone could take a moment to review it or offer suggestions for improvements.

Article link: [[Tamil Nadu’s maternal mental health work sparks global disaster resilience debate]]

Thanks so much in advance! 🙏 [[User:Dr. Saravanan Thangarajan|Dr. Saravanan Thangarajan]] ([[User talk:Dr. Saravanan Thangarajan|talk]]) 21:07, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/19|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation has shared the latest draft update to their [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|annual plan]] for next year (July 2025–June 2026). This includes an [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|executive summary]] (also on [[diffblog:2025/04/25/sharing-the-wikimedia-foundations-2025-2026-draft-annual-plan/|Diff]]), details about the three main [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals|goals]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|Infrastructure]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Volunteer Support|Volunteer Support]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Effectiveness|Effectiveness]]), [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Global Trends|global trends]], and the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Budget Overview|budget]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Financial Model|financial model]]. Feedback and questions are welcome on the [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|talk page]] until the end of May.

'''Updates for editors'''
* For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released:
** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;Intl&lt;/code&gt; library or the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.DateFormatter&lt;/code&gt; library. The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]].
* Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (&lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;wbt_*&lt;/code&gt;) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|&quot;Get shortened URL&quot;]] link on the sidebar now includes a [[phab:T393309|QR code]]. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]], which will enable [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[w:en:Denial-of-service attack|distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/16|previously written about this]]. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the [[m:Talk:Edge Uniques|talk page]].
* Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] enabled can use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents]].
* The Wikipedia project now has a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q36720|Nupe]] ([[w:nup:|&lt;code&gt;w:nup:&lt;/code&gt;]]). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to [[w:nup:Tatacin feregi|new Wikipedia]].

* Developers can now access pre-parsed Dutch Wikipedia, amongst others (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) through the [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/docs/snapshot/#structured-contents-snapshot-bundle-info-beta Structured Contents snapshots (beta)]. The content includes parsed Wikipedia abstracts, descriptions, main images, infoboxes, article sections, and references.
* The &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;/page/data-parsoid&lt;/code&gt; REST API endpoint is no longer in use and will be deprecated. It is [[phab:T393557|scheduled to be turned off]] on June 7, 2025.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check|Peacock check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check/model test|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

'''Updates for editors'''

* From May 20, 2025, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|oversighters]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:CheckUsers|checkusers]] will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|Learn more]].
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]]  [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|contact the team]] if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to [{{fullurl:Special:Block|usecodex=1}} {{#special:Block}}?usecodex=1], and can test the full multiblocks functionality [[testwiki:Special:Block|on testwiki]]. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|help page]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* Later this week, the [[{{#special:SpecialPages}}]] listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been [[phab:T219543|redesigned]] to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages previewed] at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219543]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|deployment timeline]].
* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: [[wikt:ha:|Hausa]], [[wikt:ig:|Igbo]], [[wikt:bn:|Bengali]], [[wikt:ml:|Malayalam]], and [[wikt:dv:|Dhivehi/Maldivian]]. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.
* Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]]. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement [[diffblog:2023/07/13/exploring-paths-for-the-future-of-free-knowledge-new-wikipedia-chatgpt-plugin-leveraging-rich-media-social-apps-and-other-experiments/|understand new users]], how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement.

* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.title&lt;/code&gt; object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Lua|Lua]] programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;isDisambiguationPage&lt;/code&gt;. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71441]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] User script developers can use a [[toolforge:gitlab-content|new reverse proxy tool]] to load javascript and css from [[gitlab:|gitlab.wikimedia.org]] with &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.loader.load&lt;/code&gt;.

== RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project) ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]]. Thank you in advance! -- [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|&lt;span class=&quot;signature-talk&quot;&gt;{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}&lt;/span&gt;]]) 15:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] I do not use wikidata or wikifunctions. My knowledge of Wikidata sums up to &quot;I know that any Wikipedia article has an ugly Q1234 kind of page attached to it in Wikidata, which cinnects it to other languages and if needed then to pages on other sister wikis&quot;; wikifunctions I see as a set of pages about programmimg subroutines, so for example a function that returns z= x+y. What would the abstract wikipedia provide in that example? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 15:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], thank you for your intervention. The scope of Wikifunctions is (also) to provide language functions that can create full sentences in a given language, based on data taken from Wikidata. For example, a simple sentence like &quot;Albert Einstein was born in Ulm&quot;. This could - if the local community wants - be used to kickstart new articles or pages, by reusing and reorganising automatically generated text, instead of starting from a blank page. I hope I answered your question. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 16:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], thank you too for your intervention. There shouldn't be any license problem in reusing Wikifunctions' functions on your project, should you want to use them, we made sure of that when we launched the project. As for reusing the abstract content, if your project doesn't see any use in that, you can just turn down the possibility. It's your choice, and we don't want to force any adoption that isn't wanted by a community. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 21:00, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::That wasn't a request to turn it off. I think it'd be better to show a working example with instructions please. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:07, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::::::I know, I was just presenting all the options. As of now, we have some examples of callable functions at [[:f:Wikifunctions:Embedded function calls]], but please remember that these are still not usable on any Wikinews project, as we haven't still enabled Wikifunctions for them. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 11:16, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}[[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita]], my concern is that the functions pull content from various Wikis (as directed or guided by Wikidata) in order to compose the Abstract. Therefore the copyright policies of the source wikis must all be compatible for the abstract to be able to legally reproduce and/or remix that content. 

Have I misunderstood how Abstracts will work? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

:No, the functions will only use data from Wikidata and functions from Wikifunctions to create the abstract text. Nothing will be used from other projects, therefore there is no problem with licensing, since we're talking about license-compatible material. Plus, mind that abstract text could be just a placeholder for something that ''might'' or ''might not'' be shown by your project, and that could be reused to kickstart a page on your project, again with no problem with current licensing. I hope it's clearer now. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 14:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
::Great! Thanks for the clarification. I do like the idea of utilizing it here to assist with new content creation. We have been discussing ways to assist with that. Could it be a tool that could be integrated or leveraged along with an 'Article creation wizard' type tool? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:04, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] That I don't know, at the moment, sorry. I can ask the team, but I guess we're still too early in development to make strong commitments. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 15:07, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::This &quot;abstract Wikipedia&quot; sounds like it could achieve some of the goals of my idea of using something like [[w:Template:Excerpt]] to better insert repeatable facts and background content into news stories. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:20, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::&quot;Abstract Wikipedia&quot; can also help in making Wikinews more relevant and resilient in the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, since Wikinews will often be the first to write about real-world facts, and so its content can be partially uploaded to the abstract Wikipedia in order to make it easier for both other projects and future Wikinews contributors to utilize past Wikinews writing.

::::@[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] can wikidata store infos: who, what, where, why, how, when. for each news article. it would be useful to show that in a abstract. this is routinely already prepared for each news published here as writing in first paragraph and would be easy to add. if you can show how to add this information to wikidata and then pull an abstract from it, this could be probably helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:25, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] We can't still show a prototype about this, since it's not ready yet. We have a concept of how to go on this, but still nothing that can be shown. Maybe you can ask for more information at the next Volunteer's Corner? [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 11:36, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi @[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] A test wiki where I can create a test news article would work, it does not have to be prod ready. Volunteers Corner was at night, I can do at 1730 Sydney time on a working day. Would this work for someone from your team who can chat? 8pm to 10pm I can do via IM messages in text only. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:46, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], for how to add Wikidata to ''Wikinews'' articles, see [[Wikinews:Publish_checklist#3._Creating_a_Wikidata_Entry]]. It outlines the minimum data we should add to each article at publication. As the Abstracts project develops, we’ll likely identify more Wikidata items to enhance our articles.

What’s critical now, if we’re serious about leveraging this (and I think we should be), is to consistently create a new Wikidata item for every article and, when adding Sister links, connect our data with the corresponding Sister wiki’s data. This ensures that when a function accesses sister data, ours is included.—[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:I have been playing with some of the example functions listed here: [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Wikidata_operations]. What I'm finding is we would do well to get someone on our team who is well versed in Wikidata and how we can effectively leverage it to get more of our data and articles exposed to other projects through it. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:50, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hi
:1. That was written without consensus. I am concerned. Consensus needs to be achieved before altering a guideline not after. Please don't do that again. Consensus is best sought with a respective post at a water cooler where users are subscribed, and with amble time to get feedback from multiple users.
:2. I would like to know how Wikidata can support 5Ws, seems important for a news. At least the location part and date part are clearly quantifiable not sure what about others.

== Tech News: 2025-22 ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2025-W22&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt; toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]&lt;/code&gt; parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019]
* This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]].
* Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393844]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The previously deprecated &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Ipblocks table|ipblocks]]&lt;/code&gt; views in [[wikitech:Help:Wiki Replicas|Wiki Replicas]] will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block table|block]]&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block target table|block_target]]&lt;/code&gt; views instead.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.3|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects|Wikidata and Sister Projects]] is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. The event runs from May 29 – June 1. You can [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects#Sessions|read the Program schedule]] and [[d:Special:RegisterForEvent/1291|register]].

== Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection &amp; Call for Questions ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
:''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement|{{int:interlanguage-link-mul}}]] • [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=page-{{urlencode:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement}}&amp;language=&amp;action=page&amp;filter= {{int:please-translate}}]''

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].

'''Call for Questions'''

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Future of Wikinews ==

This might not only be related to English Wikinews but to the Wikinews project in general. The Wikimedia Foundation's Community Affairs Committee [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force Sister Projects Task Force] is planning a public consultation about the long-term viability of the Wikinews model as a sister project. According to the task force, some concerns include the sustainability of community engagement, content quality, and alignment with Wikimedia's goals of knowledge equity and reliability. For now, no new language editions of Wikinews will be created. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#c-Victoria-20250602104100-Asked42-20250530144700 See a recent discussion related to this]. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:14, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:In light of the above comment, I would like to propose that we, as reviewers, take a proactive approach to address these challenges.

:Moving forward, I propose that all reviewers commit to performing full and complete reviews of all draft articles and take no shortcuts in the process for any reason, including speed of publication. While a full and complete review can be time-consuming, it is currently the most reliable way we have to ensure that our content is of acceptable quality, free of unverified or false statements, and fully aligned with our established policies and guidelines.

:By reinforcing our commitment to high-quality content, we can help strengthen Wikinews’s credibility and demonstrate the project’s ongoing value to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem.

:Hi @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]], would you possibly consider writing a tiny copy of reFill, to fills sources templates from any URLs in the 'Sources' section?

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:25, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:Reviews/FlaggedRevs were originally instituted as a requirement of syndication to Google News. I don't think it was a thing prior to that. Reviews on Wikinews rub against the wiki model, and, coupled with the shortage of reviewers, make it very difficult to recruit/retain contributors. I think we should seriously consider getting rid of reviews entirely. Ultimately, we're currently making the decision to have no news rather than imperfect news – and I don't think that's appropriate. [[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] ([[User talk:Microchip08|talk]]) 11:20, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] I agree with you. What do you think of the suggested &quot;mini&quot; 5w brief format I proposed further down the page? Could you please check the two tiny stories I just wrote in that format? While the effort writing them is similar to writing a normal article, I think they stand out as much easier to review and harder to stuff up when writing them. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] further: what do you think of verifying only the 5Ws in the first paragraph, and not undertaking a full review? I did that several times in April when all other reviewers were on holiday. I did not check beyond &quot;yes, it happened there and then; it is not one sided propaganda; pass&quot;. Then @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] strongly opposed this approach. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::Since there are seemingly only a couple thousands of readers on this site at the moment, it should probably not be seen as a major catastrophe to go a long time without news being published here. So I would personally lean against being too quick with review processes.
:::At a minimum, any article that goes through a 'semi-review' process should have all the unreviewed information visibly flagged and perhaps even hidden from readers until checked. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 12:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Gryllida mentioned that I “strongly opposed” her approach, and that’s correct—but with good reason. The demonstrable problems with the abbreviated reviews are well-documented. Articles reviewed in this manner have too often included falsehoods, bias, and plagiarism—issues we must not tolerate if we wish to maintain credibility and align with Wikimedia’s knowledge equity and reliability goals.

::::The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force concerns—focused on sustainability, content quality, and alignment with movement goals—should be a wake-up call. Lowering the bar for verification, even temporarily, is not a solution. The mini review format as currently proposed does not produce high-quality, reliable content. Adopting it would risk undermining Wikinews further.

::::That said, I agree that the current review process presents significant obstacles, and that the shortage of active reviewers is likely both a cause and a consequence of this[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The_problem]. However, a replacement process must not result in higher levels of low-quality content. Any reform must improve efficiency without compromising the standards that are essential to the project’s integrity.

::::I’ll also point out a critical conflict between the review process and the archive process: if we were to tolerate more errors out of review (which I do not condone), the current 24-hour window before an article is edit-protected by archiving is far too short to allow necessary corrections. If the community were to shift in that direction, it would require a serious reconsideration of our archiving policies.

::::In summary:
::::* '''I strongly oppose''' the &quot;5w mini review&quot; approach and any abbreviated review that sacrifices accuracy and neutrality.
::::* '''The review process is flawed''', but any replacement must maintain or improve quality standards, not lower them.

:::::@[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]], I agree the review process is a major bottleneck, but it’s also what separates us from Wikipedia and helps prevent ''fake news''.

=== Proposal 1 from Gryllida: shortcutted review with 5Ws and copyright verification only ===
{{flag}}
I am proposing that a trial is done for 3 months to publish an article after verifying the 5Ws and copyright, without verifying neutrality and without verifying the items which are reported in the further paragraphs.   I would be interested to try out a shortcutted review process with 'verify only 5W', and see how many of 'corrections' will be issued over the course of 3 months.

I am going to make a subsection for this with 'discussion' and 'votes' to see what will be the outcome. I am hoping this trial will show whether reducing review requirements leads to inaccuracies in reporting and whether it increases the comprehensiveness of the reports.

*{{comment}} Gryllida stated above that in April she performed several partial reviews, checking only the 5Ws in the lead and not conducting full reviews. The following month, after the articles were published and in many cases archived, we identified plagiarism in five articles, four of which have been corrected:

:* [[Nuclear negotiations between US and Iran commence in Muscat, Oman]]
:* [[Explosion in Iran's largest port, Shahid Rajaee, heard 50 km away, leaves dozens killed, thousands injured]]
:* [[Sandstorm in Iraq leaves thousands hospitalised]]
:* [[South African Civil Aviation Authority attributes helicopter crash to 'unsecured' penguin in the cabin]]

:A fifth article has yet to be corrected nearly six weeks later:
:* [[Talk:Researchers film colossal squid in its natural habitat for the first time#Copyright material not removed]]

:All of these April articles were edit-protected when checked for plagiarism, which significantly delayed the correction process.

:One additional article—[[Competitive local elections held in England]]—was not yet archived when issues were identified and was corrected promptly for unsupported and biased statements:
:* [[Talk:Competitive local elections held in England#Changes need to be reviewed and sighted]]

:Today I identified and removed plagiarism from one article published in May and issued a correction:
:* [[Massive power outage hits Spain, Portugal]]

:That brings the total to five plagiarism corrections from April and one so far in May—just among the cases we know about. Do we really need to trial this method for three full months to see that it consistently produces low-quality, policy-violating content? Is this the standard of quality we want to present to the Task Force as justification for keeping English Wikinews running? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 00:51, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
::Let me rephrase this for you. &quot;Gryllida suggests to check for 5W and plagiarism. I will point to instances of failed plagiarism check.&quot; Let me reply to this. We have a seemingly working plagiarism checker, this is now less risk. For low quality, unfortunately unlike Wikipedia here articles cannot be editable forever, so those that were not fixed up within 24 hours will be stuffed with a bunch of correction tags at the top. This is not end of world, there is a procedure for this. Let me ask you, why do you think I am proposing this? What will be the advantages? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:17, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:::I share the concern that the current review process can be a bottleneck and have been exploring ways to improve it. That said, the recent need to correct (not just a little) plagiarism in several published articles illustrates why certain core checks such as fact verification, plagiarism detection, and neutrality review can’t be optional. In that case, a decision to skip those checks created a significant post-publication burden and left policy violations publicly visible for weeks. While I agree the review process must evolve, I believe we should focus on streamlining it without compromising the basic standards that protect our credibility. We don't &quot;have a seemingly working plagiarism checker&quot; unless the reviewer does the checking. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:40, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::::Two points:
::::* Quit chatting about the plagiarism, will you do me a favour please? I already unprotected these pages for two weeks and installed earwig link in my face (in each review template) on April 22, and already acknowledged (on that very day) that lack of that facility before was unfortunate and was concerning. The plagiarism checker is unmissable now. Every atom in the world including BigKrow knows of it and chats of it on nearly each article where earwig reports an orange light.
::::* This proposal suggests to '''keep checking for plagiarism''' and placing this discussion here is not constructive. If you want to complain about no check, head over next door to proposal 2. ---&gt;
::::Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:54, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the clarification. However, this is not simply a side conversation. It is directly relevant to how we approach proposals to narrow the scope of review.
:::::This discussion is constructive because it illustrates the tangible risks of minimizing review steps. The addition of the Earwig link to the template is appreciated, but it does not retroactively resolve the issues created before that change, nor does it remove the need to understand why those failures occurred. The link also does not automatically detect or prevent plagiarism. It still requires manual use and judgment by the reviewer.
:::::The workload caused by incomplete reviews is still being distributed across multiple contributors. That’s not just a tooling issue. It’s a question of process and responsibility. It remains directly relevant to any discussion about how to reform the review system responsibly. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:16, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::::::I disagree. Tooling and awareness improved sufficiently. Having some issues pending is not a sufficient excuse to bring that up here.
::::::Yes, for fewer checks it will be needed to involve more people to pick them up. Not only one person writing and one person reviewing. Sorry about that. Two people usually do not succeed at finishing to a high standard and quickly, unless they are working in real time. If you want to keep the standard high, you need to be the one sitting in 15 social media and pinging each author on his or her favourite platform to get them alerted and involved. Just sitting on wiki, without a mobile app to buzz the user's ears off, and expecting magical quick work to prevent staleness will not work.
::::::In short, to get fresher news, in scenario above, responsibility to fix them up quickly will need to be shared. Issues may be tagged and users will then need to fix them. What was not fixed in 24 hours will need to be unmarked and shoved into a correction tag. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 15:02, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/23|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;_default&lt;/code&gt; key in the local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]&lt;/bdi&gt; page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=clientlogin&lt;/code&gt; will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;async&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;await&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.4|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* Scholarship applications to participate in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025|GLAM Wiki Conference 2025]] are now open. The conference will take place from 30 October to 1 November, in Lisbon, Portugal. GLAM contributors who lack the means to support their participation can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025/Scholarships|apply here]]. Scholarship applications close on June 7th.

== '5W Brief' format ==

Hello,

In light of recent discussions about quality of reviews, I'd like to propose a new '5W Brief' format. It would be similar to 'briefs', but would actually include a table and a recommendation to fit less than 200 words. Here is a proposed template: [[User:Gryllida/template2]]. If this is acceptable, this can be added to the main page and to [[WN:WRITE]] page. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:Example:
:*[[Mini: G5 geomagnetic storm strikes southern hemisphere]] 
:Only 46 words. I'm thinking anything longer would already pose risks with reviewing. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:26, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::To be quite honest filling sources for it was the most time consuming part. And even the table does not click properly, need to double click. Is this adequate software for visual editing...? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:27, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::Maybe easier to work with [[User:Gryllida/template3-submit]] that. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::Can you also include &quot;How&quot; (5Ws'''+H''')? The idea is pretty cool, and an added bonus is that it would allow for more reviewers to contribute, since the articles are much shorter and thus there is less stuff to verify; there could also be a system of 'limited reviewership' where people who want to become reviewers can start by being granted the right to review the 5W+H briefs. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:09, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::::I think this is a better alternative to performing a 5W mini review. At least this way the 5W briefs would theoretically (hopefully) get a full and complete review. 

::::However, a 5W brief article would amount to encouragement to read our sources rather than getting much meaningful content from Wikinews. A very brief article basically says; ''here are the basic details but go elsewhere to learn more.'' That, to me, does not represent quality and would not be a reason I would frequent Wikinews as a reader or consumer of our content. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:02, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::I mean, there are not many takers for the current content anyways; the project is in a death loop, hoping for some intervention which will somehow make the existing model make sense. I think in some ways, it's better to build up some momentum with this 5W+H briefs idea, even if just for a few months, and then see if enough new people show up to do the work of creating longer articles. I think it also makes some sense just as a way to create brief snippets of events and happenings in the world, which can play into both the &quot;Abstract Wikipedia&quot; idea as well as offering something to link to within the Wikinews ecosystem. If nothing else, getting people in the habit of writing the 5W+H briefs would train them to write better articles, and might spark fresh collaborative curiosity. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:12, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::Starting a &quot;Wikinews shorts&quot; section to the site would be similar to how many information companies are offering shorter content nowadays, like with YouTube Shorts or Tiktoks. The difference here is that Wikinews briefs can still be linked within the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, meaning that readers are able to quickly go from a brief overview of an event to very detailed content and details on its various aspects and contexts in any of the various sister projects.
:::::I think a detail of implementation that might increase consensus for this change would be to limit the number of short articles/force editors to occasionally write a long article, in order to prevent this new feature from overwhelming the site's tradition. But overall, it doesn't make much sense to totally shut down the potential momentum this offers. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:47, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::I would frequent Wikinews with the 5W+H as 95% of &quot;news&quot; in mainstream media is vague on these points. They are often missing or wrong. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:06, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:I’ve already made concrete, actionable proposals. See [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Markup for developing articles and the review process]], which has been in use and iteratively improved over the past several months. That discussion has been ongoing for over eight months and includes specific, low-impact changes that several contributors are already using successfully.
:Rather than introducing a new set of numbered proposals here, I think it’s more constructive to evaluate and build on the work that’s already underway—and to ensure that any streamlining of the review process preserves core standards like sourcing, plagiarism checks, and neutrality. Recent events have made clear that skipping those checks creates more work and reputational risk in the long run. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:44, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::may i get a plot, the orange line which was in &quot;wikinews is dying&quot; post, updated to include additional weeks to now? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 14:52, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::By the way, I think it is confusing that you state opinions as facts. You cannot write &quot;Recent events have made clear that skipping those checks creates more work and reputational risk in the long run.&quot;, for example; that is an opinion. If I had such opinion, I would write &quot;I am concerned that, as recently it happened, skipping these checks may create more work and reputational risk in the long run&quot;. Or something like that. It is a concern. It is not an absolute. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 17:06, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

I’m increasingly concerned that this discussion has become a back-and-forth between two people, and that in itself is becoming disruptive to the project. Our goal here should be to examine how we can streamline the review process without sacrificing key standards like plagiarism checks, neutrality, and proper sourcing.

I’ve already made proposals in that direction, which are currently in use and being tested. Rather than continuing to debate procedural structure in this thread, I’d welcome broader input from others on how those ideas are working in practice and whether they address the core challenges we face.

Ultimately, the focus should stay on quality, sustainability, and collective problem-solving, not on personalities or side threads. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== Proposal 5 from Gryllida Notifications app or email setting ==

Apps to notify users from Echo for: Android, Mac, iOS, Windows. This should help users edit more quickly. As they cannot always eyeball the wiki. Maybe need to investigate how to setup Echo to email each @mention to a user. Is this setting on by default? App would be nicer as not all users get Notofication to their device for email.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716]
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|on ''Diff'']]. It is possible to opt out of these changes [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion|in user preferences]] (&quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-visualenhancements}}&quot;). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319146][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392121]
* Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|the rest of the Wikipedias in this project]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation has shared the latest draft update to their [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|annual plan]] for next year (July 2025–June 2026). This includes an [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|executive summary]] (also on [[diffblog:2025/04/25/sharing-the-wikimedia-foundations-2025-2026-draft-annual-plan/|Diff]]), details about the three main [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals|goals]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|Infrastructure]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Volunteer Support|Volunteer Support]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Effectiveness|Effectiveness]]), [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Global Trends|global trends]], and the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Budget Overview|budget]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Financial Model|financial model]]. Feedback and questions are welcome on the [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|talk page]] until the end of May.

'''Updates for editors'''
* For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released:
** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;Intl&lt;/code&gt; library or the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.DateFormatter&lt;/code&gt; library. The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]].
* Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (&lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;wbt_*&lt;/code&gt;) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954]

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]], which will enable [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[w:en:Denial-of-service attack|distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/16|previously written about this]]. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the [[m:Talk:Edge Uniques|talk page]].
* Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] enabled can use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents]].
* The Wikipedia project now has a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q36720|Nupe]] ([[w:nup:|&lt;code&gt;w:nup:&lt;/code&gt;]]). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to [[w:nup:Tatacin feregi|new Wikipedia]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check|Peacock check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check/model test|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

'''Updates for editors'''

* From May 20, 2025, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|oversighters]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:CheckUsers|checkusers]] will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|Learn more]].
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]]  [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|contact the team]] if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to [{{fullurl:Special:Block|usecodex=1}} {{#special:Block}}?usecodex=1], and can test the full multiblocks functionality [[testwiki:Special:Block|on testwiki]]. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|help page]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* Later this week, the [[{{#special:SpecialPages}}]] listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been [[phab:T219543|redesigned]] to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages previewed] at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219543]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|deployment timeline]].
* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: [[wikt:ha:|Hausa]], [[wikt:ig:|Igbo]], [[wikt:bn:|Bengali]], [[wikt:ml:|Malayalam]], and [[wikt:dv:|Dhivehi/Maldivian]]. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.
* Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]]. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement [[diffblog:2023/07/13/exploring-paths-for-the-future-of-free-knowledge-new-wikipedia-chatgpt-plugin-leveraging-rich-media-social-apps-and-other-experiments/|understand new users]], how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement. Some examples are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Generated Video|generated video]], the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Roblox game|Wikipedia Roblox speedrun game]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Discord bot|the Discord bot]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Gadgets and user scripts that interact with [[{{#special:Block}}]] may need to be updated to work with the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|manage blocks interface]]. Please review the [[mw:Help:Manage blocks/Developers|developer guide]] for more information. If you need help or are unable to adapt your script to the new interface, please let the team know on the [[mw:Help talk:Manage blocks/Developers|talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.title&lt;/code&gt; object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Lua|Lua]] programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;isDisambiguationPage&lt;/code&gt;. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71441]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] User script developers can use a [[toolforge:gitlab-content|new reverse proxy tool]] to load javascript and css from [[gitlab:|gitlab.wikimedia.org]] with &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.loader.load&lt;/code&gt;. The tool's author hopes this will enable collaborative development workflows for user scripts including linting, unit tests, code generation, and code review on &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;gitlab.wikimedia.org&lt;/bdi&gt; without a separate copy-and-paste step to publish scripts to a Wikimedia wiki for integration and acceptance testing.

== RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project) ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]]. Thank you in advance! -- [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|&lt;span class=&quot;signature-talk&quot;&gt;{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}&lt;/span&gt;]]) 15:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] I do not use wikidata or wikifunctions. My knowledge of Wikidata sums up to &quot;I know that any Wikipedia article has an ugly Q1234 kind of page attached to it in Wikidata, which cinnects it to other languages and if needed then to pages on other sister wikis&quot;; wikifunctions I see as a set of pages about programmimg subroutines, so for example a function that returns z= x+y. What would the abstract wikipedia provide in that example? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 15:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], thank you for your intervention. The scope of Wikifunctions is (also) to provide language functions that can create full sentences in a given language, based on data taken from Wikidata. For example, a simple sentence like &quot;Albert Einstein was born in Ulm&quot;. This could - if the local community wants - be used to kickstart new articles or pages, by reusing and reorganising automatically generated text, instead of starting from a blank page. I hope I answered your question. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 16:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Please note that our content is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is known to be incompatible with Wikipedia’s license. How will this affect the proposed project? Additionally, we do not consistently generate or maintain Wikidata entries for our articles.

::::Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], thank you too for your intervention. There shouldn't be any license problem in reusing Wikifunctions' functions on your project, should you want to use them, we made sure of that when we launched the project. As for reusing the abstract content, if your project doesn't see any use in that, you can just turn down the possibility. It's your choice, and we don't want to force any adoption that isn't wanted by a community. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 21:00, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::That wasn't a request to turn it off. I think it'd be better to show a working example with instructions please. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:07, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::::::I know, I was just presenting all the options. As of now, we have some examples of callable functions at [[:f:Wikifunctions:Embedded function calls]], but please remember that these are still not usable on any Wikinews project, as we haven't still enabled Wikifunctions for them. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 11:16, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}[[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita]], my concern is that the functions pull content from various Wikis (as directed or guided by Wikidata) in order to compose the Abstract. Therefore the copyright policies of the source wikis must all be compatible for the abstract to be able to legally reproduce and/or remix that content. 

Have I misunderstood how Abstracts will work? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

:No, the functions will only use data from Wikidata and functions from Wikifunctions to create the abstract text. Nothing will be used from other projects, therefore there is no problem with licensing, since we're talking about license-compatible material. Plus, mind that abstract text could be just a placeholder for something that ''might'' or ''might not'' be shown by your project, and that could be reused to kickstart a page on your project, again with no problem with current licensing. I hope it's clearer now. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 14:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
::Great! Thanks for the clarification. I do like the idea of utilizing it here to assist with new content creation. We have been discussing ways to assist with that. Could it be a tool that could be integrated or leveraged along with an 'Article creation wizard' type tool? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:04, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] That I don't know, at the moment, sorry. I can ask the team, but I guess we're still too early in development to make strong commitments. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 15:07, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::This &quot;abstract Wikipedia&quot; sounds like it could achieve some of the goals of my idea of using something like [[w:Template:Excerpt]] to better insert repeatable facts and background content into news stories. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:20, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::&quot;Abstract Wikipedia&quot; can also help in making Wikinews more relevant and resilient in the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, since Wikinews will often be the first to write about real-world facts, and so its content can be partially uploaded to the abstract Wikipedia in order to make it easier for both other projects and future Wikinews contributors to utilize past Wikinews writing.

::::@[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] can wikidata store infos: who, what, where, why, how, when. for each news article. it would be useful to show that in a abstract. this is routinely already prepared for each news published here as writing in first paragraph and would be easy to add. if you can show how to add this information to wikidata and then pull an abstract from it, this could be probably helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:25, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] We can't still show a prototype about this, since it's not ready yet. We have a concept of how to go on this, but still nothing that can be shown. Maybe you can ask for more information at the next Volunteer's Corner? [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 11:36, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi @[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] A test wiki where I can create a test news article would work, it does not have to be prod ready. Volunteers Corner was at night, I can do at 1730 Sydney time on a working day. Would this work for someone from your team who can chat? 8pm to 10pm I can do via IM messages in text only. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:46, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], for how to add Wikidata to ''Wikinews'' articles, see [[Wikinews:Publish_checklist#3._Creating_a_Wikidata_Entry]]. It outlines the minimum data we should add to each article at publication. As the Abstracts project develops, we’ll likely identify more Wikidata items to enhance our articles.

What’s critical now, if we’re serious about leveraging this (and I think we should be), is to consistently create a new Wikidata item for every article and, when adding Sister links, connect our data with the corresponding Sister wiki’s data. This ensures that when a function accesses sister data, ours is included.—[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:I have been playing with some of the example functions listed here: [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Wikidata_operations]. What I'm finding is we would do well to get someone on our team who is well versed in Wikidata and how we can effectively leverage it to get more of our data and articles exposed to other projects through it. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:50, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hi
:1. That was written without consensus. I am concerned. Consensus needs to be achieved before altering a guideline not after. Please don't do that again. Consensus is best sought with a respective post at a water cooler where users are subscribed, and with amble time to get feedback from multiple users.
:2. I would like to know how Wikidata can support 5Ws, seems important for a news. At least the location part and date part are clearly quantifiable not sure what about others.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt; toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]&lt;/code&gt; parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019]
* This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]].
* Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393844]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The previously deprecated &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Ipblocks table|ipblocks]]&lt;/code&gt; views in [[wikitech:Help:Wiki Replicas|Wiki Replicas]] will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block table|block]]&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block target table|block_target]]&lt;/code&gt; views instead.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.3|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects|Wikidata and Sister Projects]] is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. The event runs from May 29 – June 1. You can [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects#Sessions|read the Program schedule]] and [[d:Special:RegisterForEvent/1291|register]].

== Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection &amp; Call for Questions ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
:''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement|{{int:interlanguage-link-mul}}]] • [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=page-{{urlencode:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement}}&amp;language=&amp;action=page&amp;filter= {{int:please-translate}}]''

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].

'''Call for Questions'''

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Future of Wikinews ==

This might not only be related to English Wikinews but to the Wikinews project in general. The Wikimedia Foundation's Community Affairs Committee [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force Sister Projects Task Force] is planning a public consultation about the long-term viability of the Wikinews model as a sister project. According to the task force, some concerns include the sustainability of community engagement, content quality, and alignment with Wikimedia's goals of knowledge equity and reliability. For now, no new language editions of Wikinews will be created.

:In light of the above comment, I would like to propose that we, as reviewers, take a proactive approach to address these challenges.

:Moving forward, I propose that all reviewers commit to performing full and complete reviews of all draft articles and take no shortcuts in the process for any reason, including speed of publication. While a full and complete review can be time-consuming, it is currently the most reliable way we have to ensure that our content is of acceptable quality, free of unverified or false statements, and fully aligned with our established policies and guidelines.

:By reinforcing our commitment to high-quality content, we can help strengthen Wikinews’s credibility and demonstrate the project’s ongoing value to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem.

:Reviews/FlaggedRevs were originally instituted as a requirement of syndication to Google News. I don't think it was a thing prior to that. Reviews on Wikinews rub against the wiki model, and, coupled with the shortage of reviewers, make it very difficult to recruit/retain contributors. I think we should seriously consider getting rid of reviews entirely. Ultimately, we're currently making the decision to have no news rather than imperfect news – and I don't think that's appropriate. [[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] ([[User talk:Microchip08|talk]]) 11:20, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] I agree with you. What do you think of the suggested &quot;mini&quot; 5w brief format I proposed further down the page? Could you please check the two tiny stories I just wrote in that format? While the effort writing them is similar to writing a normal article, I think they stand out as much easier to review and harder to stuff up when writing them. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] further: what do you think of verifying only the 5Ws in the first paragraph, and not undertaking a full review? I did that several times in April when all other reviewers were on holiday. I did not check beyond &quot;yes, it happened there and then; it is not one sided propaganda; pass&quot;. Then @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] strongly opposed this approach. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::Since there are seemingly only a couple thousands of readers on this site at the moment, it should probably not be seen as a major catastrophe to go a long time without news being published here. So I would personally lean against being too quick with review processes.
:::At a minimum, any article that goes through a 'semi-review' process should have all the unreviewed information visibly flagged and perhaps even hidden from readers until checked. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 12:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Gryllida mentioned that I “strongly opposed” her approach, and that’s correct—but with good reason. The demonstrable problems with the abbreviated reviews are well-documented. Articles reviewed in this manner have too often included falsehoods, bias, and plagiarism—issues we must not tolerate if we wish to maintain credibility and align with Wikimedia’s knowledge equity and reliability goals.

::::The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force concerns—focused on sustainability, content quality, and alignment with movement goals—should be a wake-up call. Lowering the bar for verification, even temporarily, is not a solution. The mini review format as currently proposed does not produce high-quality, reliable content. Adopting it would risk undermining Wikinews further.

::::That said, I agree that the current review process presents significant obstacles, and that the shortage of active reviewers is likely both a cause and a consequence of this[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The_problem]. However, a replacement process must not result in higher levels of low-quality content. Any reform must improve efficiency without compromising the standards that are essential to the project’s integrity.

::::I’ll also point out a critical conflict between the review process and the archive process: if we were to tolerate more errors out of review (which I do not condone), the current 24-hour window before an article is edit-protected by archiving is far too short to allow necessary corrections. If the community were to shift in that direction, it would require a serious reconsideration of our archiving policies.

::::In summary:
::::* '''I strongly oppose''' the &quot;5w mini review&quot; approach and any abbreviated review that sacrifices accuracy and neutrality.
::::* '''The review process is flawed''', but any replacement must maintain or improve quality standards, not lower them.
::::* '''The archive process conflict''' makes adopting a low-bar review process impractical and risky.

::::I welcome further discussion on how we can improve the review process, attract more contributors, and maintain credibility—but it must start with a commitment to accuracy and balance. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:00, 3 June 2025 (UTC);edited Removed bold. 15:23, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::@[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]], I agree the review process is a major bottleneck, but it’s also what separates us from Wikipedia and helps prevent ''fake news''. Our archive policy reinforces that by locking content as a snapshot in time. If review were removed, the archive process would need rethinking. What might that look like while still keeping us distinct and credible? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:33, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

{{outdent|7}}
Given our current reviewer capacity, we need to affirm that full and complete reviews are currently the only reliable way known to satisfy the mission of Wikinews, as defined at Meta: [[m:Wikinews]]

Meta-wiki clearly states: “We cannot rely on the wiki process to improve articles after they are published,” because news receives “very high exposure for a very brief period of time.” Articles must be “accurate and legal at the time of publication,” especially given the added risk from original reporting.

Partial reviews, though well-intentioned, often lead to articles being published with unresolved issues around neutrality, attribution, sourcing, or plagiarism. With so few active reviewers, we rarely have capacity to follow up and correct these issues post-publication.

It’s also worth noting that the mission statement at [[m:Wikinews]] does not mention frequency of publication. While I fully agree that improving the regularity of article output is important for the project's future, that goal cannot come at the expense of one of Wikinews' core principles: ''neutrality''. Prioritizing speed or volume over accuracy and neutrality undermines both the mission and public trust.

I stepped back from earlier discussion because it had become a two-person exchange, and I felt the community needed space for other voices. I'm raising this again because the problem remains unresolved and directly impacts our review standards.

Given the risks and our current limitations, we should immediately stop performing any partial reviews until a new, accountable process is defined that satisfies the mission and purpose of English Wikinews. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 01:49, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

=== Proposal 1 from Gryllida: shortcutted review with 5Ws and copyright verification only ===
{{flag}}
I am proposing that a trial is done for 3 months to publish an article after verifying the 5Ws and copyright, without verifying neutrality and without verifying the items which are reported in the further paragraphs.   I would be interested to try out a shortcutted review process with 'verify only 5W', and see how many of 'corrections' will be issued over the course of 3 months. If there is too many, the discussion can be revisited. To alleviate 'reputation' issues, we can put a banner at the article, which says 'This article was reviewed with a shortcutted process, involving only verifying the &quot;5W&quot; first paragraph and copyright. Neutrality issues and inaccuracies may be present. You are welcome to 'edit' or 'leave a message' about the content.' I am going to make a subsection for this with 'discussion' and 'votes' to see what will be the outcome. I am hoping this trial will show whether reducing review requirements leads to inaccuracies in reporting and whether it increases the comprehensiveness of the reports.

*{{comment}} Gryllida stated above that in April she performed several partial reviews, checking only the 5Ws in the lead and not conducting full reviews. The following month, after the articles were published and in many cases archived, we identified plagiarism in five articles, four of which have been corrected:

:* [[Nuclear negotiations between US and Iran commence in Muscat, Oman]]
:* [[Explosion in Iran's largest port, Shahid Rajaee, heard 50 km away, leaves dozens killed, thousands injured]]
:* [[Sandstorm in Iraq leaves thousands hospitalised]]
:* [[South African Civil Aviation Authority attributes helicopter crash to 'unsecured' penguin in the cabin]]

:A fifth article has yet to be corrected nearly six weeks later:
:* [[Talk:Researchers film colossal squid in its natural habitat for the first time#Copyright material not removed]]

:All of these April articles were edit-protected when checked for plagiarism, which significantly delayed the correction process.

:One additional article—[[Competitive local elections held in England]]—was not yet archived when issues were identified and was corrected promptly for unsupported and biased statements:
:* [[Talk:Competitive local elections held in England#Changes need to be reviewed and sighted]]

:Today I identified and removed plagiarism from one article published in May and issued a correction:
:* [[Massive power outage hits Spain, Portugal]]

:That brings the total to five plagiarism corrections from April and one so far in May—just among the cases we know about. Do we really need to trial this method for three full months to see that it consistently produces low-quality, policy-violating content? Is this the standard of quality we want to present to the Task Force as justification for keeping English Wikinews running? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 00:51, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
::Let me rephrase this for you. &quot;Gryllida suggests to check for 5W and plagiarism. I will point to instances of failed plagiarism check.&quot; Let me reply to this. We have a seemingly working plagiarism checker, this is now less risk. For low quality, unfortunately unlike Wikipedia here articles cannot be editable forever, so those that were not fixed up within 24 hours will be stuffed with a bunch of correction tags at the top. This is not end of world, there is a procedure for this. Let me ask you, why do you think I am proposing this? What will be the advantages? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:17, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:::I share the concern that the current review process can be a bottleneck and have been exploring ways to improve it. That said, the recent need to correct (not just a little) plagiarism in several published articles illustrates why certain core checks such as fact verification, plagiarism detection, and neutrality review can’t be optional. In that case, a decision to skip those checks created a significant post-publication burden and left policy violations publicly visible for weeks. While I agree the review process must evolve, I believe we should focus on streamlining it without compromising the basic standards that protect our credibility. We don't &quot;have a seemingly working plagiarism checker&quot; unless the reviewer does the checking. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:40, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::::Two points:
::::* Quit chatting about the plagiarism, will you do me a favour please? I already unprotected these pages for two weeks and installed earwig link in my face (in each review template) on April 22, and already acknowledged (on that very day) that lack of that facility before was unfortunate and was concerning. The plagiarism checker is unmissable now. Every atom in the world including BigKrow knows of it and chats of it on nearly each article where earwig reports an orange light.
::::* This proposal suggests to '''keep checking for plagiarism''' and placing this discussion here is not constructive. If you want to complain about no check, head over next door to proposal 2. ---&gt;
::::Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:54, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the clarification. However, this is not simply a side conversation. It is directly relevant to how we approach proposals to narrow the scope of review.
:::::This discussion is constructive because it illustrates the tangible risks of minimizing review steps. The addition of the Earwig link to the template is appreciated, but it does not retroactively resolve the issues created before that change, nor does it remove the need to understand why those failures occurred. The link also does not automatically detect or prevent plagiarism. It still requires manual use and judgment by the reviewer.
:::::The workload caused by incomplete reviews is still being distributed across multiple contributors. That’s not just a tooling issue. It’s a question of process and responsibility. It remains directly relevant to any discussion about how to reform the review system responsibly. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:16, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::::::I disagree. Tooling and awareness improved sufficiently. Having some issues pending is not a sufficient excuse to bring that up here.
::::::Yes, for fewer checks it will be needed to involve more people to pick them up. Not only one person writing and one person reviewing. Sorry about that. Two people usually do not succeed at finishing to a high standard and quickly, unless they are working in real time. If you want to keep the standard high, you need to be the one sitting in 15 social media and pinging each author on his or her favourite platform to get them alerted and involved. Just sitting on wiki, without a mobile app to buzz the user's ears off, and expecting magical quick work to prevent staleness will not work.
::::::In short, to get fresher news, in scenario above, responsibility to fix them up quickly will need to be shared. Issues may be tagged and users will then need to fix them. What was not fixed in 24 hours will need to be unmarked and shoved into a correction tag. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 15:02, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/23|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;_default&lt;/code&gt; key in the local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]&lt;/bdi&gt; page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=clientlogin&lt;/code&gt; will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;async&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;await&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.4|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* Scholarship applications to participate in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025|GLAM Wiki Conference 2025]] are now open. The conference will take place from 30 October to 1 November, in Lisbon, Portugal. GLAM contributors who lack the means to support their participation can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025/Scholarships|apply here]]. Scholarship applications close on June 7th.

== '5W Brief' format ==

Hello,

In light of recent discussions about quality of reviews, I'd like to propose a new '5W Brief' format. It would be similar to 'briefs', but would actually include a table and a recommendation to fit less than 200 words. Here is a proposed template: [[User:Gryllida/template2]]. If this is acceptable, this can be added to the main page and to [[WN:WRITE]] page. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::To be quite honest filling sources for it was the most time consuming part. And even the table does not click properly, need to double click. Is this adequate software for visual editing...? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:27, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::Can you also include &quot;How&quot; (5Ws'''+H''')? The idea is pretty cool, and an added bonus is that it would allow for more reviewers to contribute, since the articles are much shorter and thus there is less stuff to verify; there could also be a system of 'limited reviewership' where people who want to become reviewers can start by being granted the right to review the 5W+H briefs. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:09, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::::I think this is a better alternative to performing a 5W mini review. At least this way the 5W briefs would theoretically (hopefully) get a full and complete review. 

::::However, a 5W brief article would amount to encouragement to read our sources rather than getting much meaningful content from Wikinews. A very brief article basically says; ''here are the basic details but go elsewhere to learn more.'' That, to me, does not represent quality and would not be a reason I would frequent Wikinews as a reader or consumer of our content. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:02, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::I mean, there are not many takers for the current content anyways; the project is in a death loop, hoping for some intervention which will somehow make the existing model make sense. I think in some ways, it's better to build up some momentum with this 5W+H briefs idea, even if just for a few months, and then see if enough new people show up to do the work of creating longer articles. I think it also makes some sense just as a way to create brief snippets of events and happenings in the world, which can play into both the &quot;Abstract Wikipedia&quot; idea as well as offering something to link to within the Wikinews ecosystem. If nothing else, getting people in the habit of writing the 5W+H briefs would train them to write better articles, and might spark fresh collaborative curiosity. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:12, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::Starting a &quot;Wikinews shorts&quot; section to the site would be similar to how many information companies are offering shorter content nowadays, like with YouTube Shorts or Tiktoks. The difference here is that Wikinews briefs can still be linked within the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, meaning that readers are able to quickly go from a brief overview of an event to very detailed content and details on its various aspects and contexts in any of the various sister projects.
:::::I think a detail of implementation that might increase consensus for this change would be to limit the number of short articles/force editors to occasionally write a long article, in order to prevent this new feature from overwhelming the site's tradition. But overall, it doesn't make much sense to totally shut down the potential momentum this offers. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:47, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

== Proposal 3: build a 5W+H database with Wikinews and Wikidata ==

Proposing to link the 5W+H with Wikidata.The date, who, and when with Wikidata looks easy-ish. And potentially &quot;why&quot; if there is a wikidata object for that. I am requesting your comments, votes, and implementation discussion. If there is a news story then link it to Wikidata item. If not, then generate based on Wikidata and publish as stub, if policies allow it. (See discussion above.)

== Proposal 4 from Michael C Wright ==

Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], you mentioned above that you agree that review process needs to be &quot;streamlined&quot;. Please pick '''only one''' actionable item for that and describe it here. I and others will hopefully discuss and vote on it. If you need more than one, add as proposal 5, 6, 7, etc. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 14:00, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

:I’ve already made concrete, actionable proposals. See [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Markup for developing articles and the review process]], which has been in use and iteratively improved over the past several months. That discussion has been ongoing for over eight months and includes specific, low-impact changes that several contributors are already using successfully.
:Rather than introducing a new set of numbered proposals here, I think it’s more constructive to evaluate and build on the work that’s already underway—and to ensure that any streamlining of the review process preserves core standards like sourcing, plagiarism checks, and neutrality. Recent events have made clear that skipping those checks creates more work and reputational risk in the long run. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:44, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::may i get a plot, the orange line which was in &quot;wikinews is dying&quot; post, updated to include additional weeks to now? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 14:52, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::By the way, I think it is confusing that you state opinions as facts. You cannot write &quot;Recent events have made clear that skipping those checks creates more work and reputational risk in the long run.&quot;, for example; that is an opinion. If I had such opinion, I would write &quot;I am concerned that, as recently it happened, skipping these checks may create more work and reputational risk in the long run&quot;. Or something like that. It is a concern. It is not an absolute. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 17:06, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

I’m increasingly concerned that this discussion has become a back-and-forth between two people, and that in itself is becoming disruptive to the project. Our goal here should be to examine how we can streamline the review process without sacrificing key standards like plagiarism checks, neutrality, and proper sourcing.

I’ve already made proposals in that direction, which are currently in use and being tested. Rather than continuing to debate procedural structure in this thread, I’d welcome broader input from others on how those ideas are working in practice and whether they address the core challenges we face.

Ultimately, the focus should stay on quality, sustainability, and collective problem-solving, not on personalities or side threads. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

:So you cannot provide plot. Provide me with the code for it then please. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 15:34, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== Proposal 5 from Gryllida Notifications app or email setting ==

Apps to notify users from Echo for: Android, Mac, iOS, Windows. This should help users edit more quickly. As they cannot always eyeball the wiki. Maybe need to investigate how to setup Echo to email each @mention to a user. Is this setting on by default? App would be nicer as not all users get Notofication to their device for email.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716]
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|on ''Diff'']].

* Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check|Peacock check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check/model test|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

'''Updates for editors'''

* From May 20, 2025, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|oversighters]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:CheckUsers|checkusers]] will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|Learn more]].
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]]  [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|contact the team]] if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to [{{fullurl:Special:Block|usecodex=1}} {{#special:Block}}?usecodex=1], and can test the full multiblocks functionality [[testwiki:Special:Block|on testwiki]]. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|help page]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* Later this week, the [[{{#special:SpecialPages}}]] listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been [[phab:T219543|redesigned]] to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages previewed] at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219543]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|deployment timeline]].
* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: [[wikt:ha:|Hausa]], [[wikt:ig:|Igbo]], [[wikt:bn:|Bengali]], [[wikt:ml:|Malayalam]], and [[wikt:dv:|Dhivehi/Maldivian]]. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.
* Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]]. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments.

== RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project) ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]]. Thank you in advance! -- [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|&lt;span class=&quot;signature-talk&quot;&gt;{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}&lt;/span&gt;]]) 15:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] I do not use wikidata or wikifunctions. My knowledge of Wikidata sums up to &quot;I know that any Wikipedia article has an ugly Q1234 kind of page attached to it in Wikidata, which cinnects it to other languages and if needed then to pages on other sister wikis&quot;; wikifunctions I see as a set of pages about programmimg subroutines, so for example a function that returns z= x+y. What would the abstract wikipedia provide in that example? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 15:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], thank you for your intervention. The scope of Wikifunctions is (also) to provide language functions that can create full sentences in a given language, based on data taken from Wikidata. For example, a simple sentence like &quot;Albert Einstein was born in Ulm&quot;. This could - if the local community wants - be used to kickstart new articles or pages, by reusing and reorganising automatically generated text, instead of starting from a blank page. I hope I answered your question. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 16:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Please note that our content is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is known to be incompatible with Wikipedia’s license. How will this affect the proposed project?

::::Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], thank you too for your intervention. There shouldn't be any license problem in reusing Wikifunctions' functions on your project, should you want to use them, we made sure of that when we launched the project. As for reusing the abstract content, if your project doesn't see any use in that, you can just turn down the possibility. It's your choice, and we don't want to force any adoption that isn't wanted by a community. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 21:00, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::I know, I was just presenting all the options. As of now, we have some examples of callable functions at [[:f:Wikifunctions:Embedded function calls]], but please remember that these are still not usable on any Wikinews project, as we haven't still enabled Wikifunctions for them. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 11:16, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}[[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita]], my concern is that the functions pull content from various Wikis (as directed or guided by Wikidata) in order to compose the Abstract. Therefore the copyright policies of the source wikis must all be compatible for the abstract to be able to legally reproduce and/or remix that content. 

Have I misunderstood how Abstracts will work? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

:No, the functions will only use data from Wikidata and functions from Wikifunctions to create the abstract text. Nothing will be used from other projects, therefore there is no problem with licensing, since we're talking about license-compatible material. Plus, mind that abstract text could be just a placeholder for something that ''might'' or ''might not'' be shown by your project, and that could be reused to kickstart a page on your project, again with no problem with current licensing. I hope it's clearer now. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 14:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
::Great! Thanks for the clarification. I do like the idea of utilizing it here to assist with new content creation. We have been discussing ways to assist with that. Could it be a tool that could be integrated or leveraged along with an 'Article creation wizard' type tool? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:04, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] That I don't know, at the moment, sorry. I can ask the team, but I guess we're still too early in development to make strong commitments. [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|talk]]) 15:07, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::This &quot;abstract Wikipedia&quot; sounds like it could achieve some of the goals of my idea of using something like [[w:Template:Excerpt]] to better insert repeatable facts and background content into news stories. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:20, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::&quot;Abstract Wikipedia&quot; can also help in making Wikinews more relevant and resilient in the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, since Wikinews will often be the first to write about real-world facts, and so its content can be partially uploaded to the abstract Wikipedia in order to make it easier for both other projects and future Wikinews contributors to utilize past Wikinews writing.

::::@[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] can wikidata store infos: who, what, where, why, how, when. for each news article. it would be useful to show that in a abstract. this is routinely already prepared for each news published here as writing in first paragraph and would be easy to add. if you can show how to add this information to wikidata and then pull an abstract from it, this could be probably helpful.

:::::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] We can't still show a prototype about this, since it's not ready yet. We have a concept of how to go on this, but still nothing that can be shown.

::::::Hi @[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] A test wiki where I can create a test news article would work, it does not have to be prod ready.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:46, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], for how to add Wikidata to ''Wikinews'' articles, see [[Wikinews:Publish_checklist#3._Creating_a_Wikidata_Entry]]. It outlines the minimum data we should add to each article at publication. As the Abstracts project develops, we’ll likely identify more Wikidata items to enhance our articles.

What’s critical now, if we’re serious about leveraging this (and I think we should be), is to consistently create a new Wikidata item for every article and, when adding Sister links, connect our data with the corresponding Sister wiki’s data. This ensures that when a function accesses sister data, ours is included.—[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:I have been playing with some of the example functions listed here: [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Wikidata_operations]. What I'm finding is we would do well to get someone on our team who is well versed in Wikidata and how we can effectively leverage it to get more of our data and articles exposed to other projects through it. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:50, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hi
:1. That was written without consensus. I am concerned. Consensus needs to be achieved before altering a guideline not after. Please don't do that again. Consensus is best sought with a respective post at a water cooler where users are subscribed, and with amble time to get feedback from multiple users.
:2. I would like to know how Wikidata can support 5Ws, seems important for a news. At least the location part and date part are clearly quantifiable not sure what about others.

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2025-W22&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt; toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]&lt;/code&gt; parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019]
* This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]].
* Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393844]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The previously deprecated &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Ipblocks table|ipblocks]]&lt;/code&gt; views in [[wikitech:Help:Wiki Replicas|Wiki Replicas]] will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block table|block]]&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block target table|block_target]]&lt;/code&gt; views instead.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.3|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects|Wikidata and Sister Projects]] is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. The event runs from May 29 – June 1. You can [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects#Sessions|read the Program schedule]] and [[d:Special:RegisterForEvent/1291|register]].

== Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection &amp; Call for Questions ==

&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;
:''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement|{{int:interlanguage-link-mul}}]] • [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=page-{{urlencode:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement}}&amp;language=&amp;action=page&amp;filter= {{int:please-translate}}]''

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].

'''Call for Questions'''

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Future of Wikinews ==

This might not only be related to English Wikinews but to the Wikinews project in general. The Wikimedia Foundation's Community Affairs Committee [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force Sister Projects Task Force] is planning a public consultation about the long-term viability of the Wikinews model as a sister project. According to the task force, some concerns include the sustainability of community engagement, content quality, and alignment with Wikimedia's goals of knowledge equity and reliability. For now, no new language editions of Wikinews will be created. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#c-Victoria-20250602104100-Asked42-20250530144700 See a recent discussion related to this]. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:14, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:In light of the above comment, I would like to propose that we, as reviewers, take a proactive approach to address these challenges.

:Moving forward, I propose that all reviewers commit to performing full and complete reviews of all draft articles and take no shortcuts in the process for any reason, including speed of publication. While a full and complete review can be time-consuming, it is currently the most reliable way we have to ensure that our content is of acceptable quality, free of unverified or false statements, and fully aligned with our established policies and guidelines.

:By reinforcing our commitment to high-quality content, we can help strengthen Wikinews’s credibility and demonstrate the project’s ongoing value to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem.

:Reviews/FlaggedRevs were originally instituted as a requirement of syndication to Google News. I don't think it was a thing prior to that. Reviews on Wikinews rub against the wiki model, and, coupled with the shortage of reviewers, make it very difficult to recruit/retain contributors. I think we should seriously consider getting rid of reviews entirely.

::Hi @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] I agree with you. What do you think of the suggested &quot;mini&quot; 5w brief format I proposed further down the page? Could you please check the two tiny stories I just wrote in that format? While the effort writing them is similar to writing a normal article, I think they stand out as much easier to review and harder to stuff up when writing them.

::Hi @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]] further: what do you think of verifying only the 5Ws in the first paragraph, and not undertaking a full review? I did that several times in April when all other reviewers were on holiday. I did not check beyond &quot;yes, it happened there and then; it is not one sided propaganda; pass&quot;. Then @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] strongly opposed this approach. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 11:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::Since there are seemingly only a couple thousands of readers on this site at the moment, it should probably not be seen as a major catastrophe to go a long time without news being published here. So I would personally lean against being too quick with review processes.
:::At a minimum, any article that goes through a 'semi-review' process should have all the unreviewed information visibly flagged and perhaps even hidden from readers until checked. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 12:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Gryllida mentioned that I “strongly opposed” her approach, and that’s correct—but with good reason. The demonstrable problems with the abbreviated reviews are well-documented. Articles reviewed in this manner have too often included falsehoods, bias, and plagiarism—issues we must not tolerate if we wish to maintain credibility and align with Wikimedia’s knowledge equity and reliability goals.

::::The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force concerns—focused on sustainability, content quality, and alignment with movement goals—should be a wake-up call. Lowering the bar for verification, even temporarily, is not a solution. The mini review format as currently proposed does not produce high-quality, reliable content. Adopting it would risk undermining Wikinews further.

::::That said, I agree that the current review process presents significant obstacles, and that the shortage of active reviewers is likely both a cause and a consequence of this[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The_problem]. However, a replacement process must not result in higher levels of low-quality content. Any reform must improve efficiency without compromising the standards that are essential to the project’s integrity.

::::I’ll also point out a critical conflict between the review process and the archive process: if we were to tolerate more errors out of review (which I do not condone), the current 24-hour window before an article is edit-protected by archiving is far too short to allow necessary corrections. If the community were to shift in that direction, it would require a serious reconsideration of our archiving policies.

::::In summary:
::::* '''I strongly oppose''' the &quot;5w mini review&quot; approach and any abbreviated review that sacrifices accuracy and neutrality.
::::* '''The review process is flawed''', but any replacement must maintain or improve quality standards, not lower them.
::::* '''The archive process conflict''' makes adopting a low-bar review process impractical and risky.

::::I welcome further discussion on how we can improve the review process, attract more contributors, and maintain credibility—but it must start with a commitment to accuracy and balance. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:00, 3 June 2025 (UTC);edited Removed bold. 15:23, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::@[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]], I agree the review process is a major bottleneck, but it’s also what separates us from Wikipedia and helps prevent ''fake news''. Our archive policy reinforces that by locking content as a snapshot in time. If review were removed, the archive process would need rethinking.

{{outdent|7}}
Given our current reviewer capacity, we need to affirm that full and complete reviews are currently the only reliable way known to satisfy the mission of Wikinews, as defined at Meta: [[m:Wikinews]]

Meta-wiki clearly states: “We cannot rely on the wiki process to improve articles after they are published,” because news receives “very high exposure for a very brief period of time.” Articles must be “accurate and legal at the time of publication,” especially given the added risk from original reporting.

Partial reviews, though well-intentioned, often lead to articles being published with unresolved issues around neutrality, attribution, sourcing, or plagiarism. With so few active reviewers, we rarely have capacity to follow up and correct these issues post-publication.

It’s also worth noting that the mission statement at [[m:Wikinews]] does not mention frequency of publication. While I fully agree that improving the regularity of article output is important for the project's future, that goal cannot come at the expense of one of Wikinews' core principles: ''neutrality''. Prioritizing speed or volume over accuracy and neutrality undermines both the mission and public trust.

I stepped back from earlier discussion because it had become a two-person exchange, and I felt the community needed space for other voices. I'm raising this again because the problem remains unresolved and directly impacts our review standards.

Given the risks and our current limitations, we should immediately stop performing any partial reviews until a new, accountable process is defined that satisfies the mission and purpose of English Wikinews. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 01:49, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

=== Proposal 1 from Gryllida: shortcutted review with 5Ws and copyright verification only ===
{{flag}}
I am proposing that a trial is done for 3 months to publish an article after verifying the 5Ws and copyright, without verifying neutrality and without verifying the items which are reported in the further paragraphs.   I would be interested to try out a shortcutted review process with 'verify only 5W', and see how many of 'corrections' will be issued over the course of 3 months. If there is too many, the discussion can be revisited. To alleviate 'reputation' issues, we can put a banner at the article, which says 'This article was reviewed with a shortcutted process, involving only verifying the &quot;5W&quot; first paragraph and copyright. Neutrality issues and inaccuracies may be present. You are welcome to 'edit' or 'leave a message' about the content.' I am going to make a subsection for this with 'discussion' and 'votes' to see what will be the outcome. I am hoping this trial will show whether reducing review requirements leads to inaccuracies in reporting and whether it increases the comprehensiveness of the reports.

*{{comment}} Gryllida stated above that in April she performed several partial reviews, checking only the 5Ws in the lead and not conducting full reviews. The following month, after the articles were published and in many cases archived, we identified plagiarism in five articles, four of which have been corrected:

:* [[Nuclear negotiations between US and Iran commence in Muscat, Oman]]
:* [[Explosion in Iran's largest port, Shahid Rajaee, heard 50 km away, leaves dozens killed, thousands injured]]
:* [[Sandstorm in Iraq leaves thousands hospitalised]]
:* [[South African Civil Aviation Authority attributes helicopter crash to 'unsecured' penguin in the cabin]]

:A fifth article has yet to be corrected nearly six weeks later:
:* [[Talk:Researchers film colossal squid in its natural habitat for the first time#Copyright material not removed]]

:All of these April articles were edit-protected when checked for plagiarism, which significantly delayed the correction process.

:One additional article—[[Competitive local elections held in England]]—was not yet archived when issues were identified and was corrected promptly for unsupported and biased statements:
:* [[Talk:Competitive local elections held in England#Changes need to be reviewed and sighted]]

:Today I identified and removed plagiarism from one article published in May and issued a correction:
:* [[Massive power outage hits Spain, Portugal]]

:That brings the total to five plagiarism corrections from April and one so far in May—just among the cases we know about. Do we really need to trial this method for three full months to see that it consistently produces low-quality, policy-violating content? Is this the standard of quality we want to present to the Task Force as justification for keeping English Wikinews running? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 00:51, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
::Let me rephrase this for you. &quot;Gryllida suggests to check for 5W and plagiarism. I will point to instances of failed plagiarism check.&quot; Let me reply to this. We have a seemingly working plagiarism checker, this is now less risk. For low quality, unfortunately unlike Wikipedia here articles cannot be editable forever, so those that were not fixed up within 24 hours will be stuffed with a bunch of correction tags at the top. This is not end of world, there is a procedure for this. Let me ask you, why do you think I am proposing this? What will be the advantages? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:17, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:::I share the concern that the current review process can be a bottleneck and have been exploring ways to improve it. That said, the recent need to correct (not just a little) plagiarism in several published articles illustrates why certain core checks such as fact verification, plagiarism detection, and neutrality review can’t be optional. In that case, a decision to skip those checks created a significant post-publication burden and left policy violations publicly visible for weeks. While I agree the review process must evolve, I believe we should focus on streamlining it without compromising the basic standards that protect our credibility. We don't &quot;have a seemingly working plagiarism checker&quot; unless the reviewer does the checking. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:40, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::::Two points:
::::* Quit chatting about the plagiarism, will you do me a favour please? I already unprotected these pages for two weeks and installed earwig link in my face (in each review template) on April 22, and already acknowledged (on that very day) that lack of that facility before was unfortunate and was concerning. The plagiarism checker is unmissable now. Every atom in the world including BigKrow knows of it and chats of it on nearly each article where earwig reports an orange light.
::::* This proposal suggests to '''keep checking for plagiarism''' and placing this discussion here is not constructive. If you want to complain about no check, head over next door to proposal 2. ---&gt;
::::Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 13:54, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the clarification. However, this is not simply a side conversation. It is directly relevant to how we approach proposals to narrow the scope of review.
:::::This discussion is constructive because it illustrates the tangible risks of minimizing review steps. The addition of the Earwig link to the template is appreciated, but it does not retroactively resolve the issues created before that change, nor does it remove the need to understand why those failures occurred. The link also does not automatically detect or prevent plagiarism. It still requires manual use and judgment by the reviewer.
:::::The workload caused by incomplete reviews is still being distributed across multiple contributors. That’s not just a tooling issue. It’s a question of process and responsibility. It remains directly relevant to any discussion about how to reform the review system responsibly. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:16, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::::::I disagree. Tooling and awareness improved sufficiently. Having some issues pending is not a sufficient excuse to bring that up here.
::::::Yes, for fewer checks it will be needed to involve more people to pick them up. Not only one person writing and one person reviewing. Sorry about that. Two people usually do not succeed at finishing to a high standard and quickly, unless they are working in real time. If you want to keep the standard high, you need to be the one sitting in 15 social media and pinging each author on his or her favourite platform to get them alerted and involved. Just sitting on wiki, without a mobile app to buzz the user's ears off, and expecting magical quick work to prevent staleness will not work.
::::::In short, to get fresher news, in scenario above, responsibility to fix them up quickly will need to be shared. Issues may be tagged and users will then need to fix them. What was not fixed in 24 hours will need to be unmarked and shoved into a correction tag. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 15:02, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/23|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;_default&lt;/code&gt; key in the local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]&lt;/bdi&gt; page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=clientlogin&lt;/code&gt; will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;async&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;await&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]

== '5W Brief' format ==

Hello,

In light of recent discussions about quality of reviews, I'd like to propose a new '5W Brief' format. It would be similar to 'briefs', but would actually include a table and a recommendation to fit less than 200 words. Here is a proposed template: [[User:Gryllida/template2]]. If this is acceptable, this can be added to the main page and to [[WN:WRITE]] page. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:Example:
:*[[Mini: G5 geomagnetic storm strikes southern hemisphere]] 
:Only 46 words. I'm thinking anything longer would already pose risks with reviewing. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:26, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::To be quite honest filling sources for it was the most time consuming part. And even the table does not click properly, need to double click. Is this adequate software for visual editing...? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:27, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::Maybe easier to work with [[User:Gryllida/template3-submit]] that. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 10:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
::Can you also include &quot;How&quot; (5Ws'''+H''')? The idea is pretty cool, and an added bonus is that it would allow for more reviewers to contribute, since the articles are much shorter and thus there is less stuff to verify; there could also be a system of 'limited reviewership' where people who want to become reviewers can start by being granted the right to review the 5W+H briefs. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 14:09, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::::I think this is a better alternative to performing a 5W mini review. At least this way the 5W briefs would theoretically (hopefully) get a full and complete review. 

::::However, a 5W brief article would amount to encouragement to read our sources rather than getting much meaningful content from Wikinews. A very brief article basically says; ''here are the basic details but go elsewhere to learn more.'' That, to me, does not represent quality and would not be a reason I would frequent Wikinews as a reader or consumer of our content. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:02, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::I mean, there are not many takers for the current content anyways; the project is in a death loop, hoping for some intervention which will somehow make the existing model make sense. I think in some ways, it's better to build up some momentum with this 5W+H briefs idea, even if just for a few months, and then see if enough new people show up to do the work of creating longer articles. I think it also makes some sense just as a way to create brief snippets of events and happenings in the world, which can play into both the &quot;Abstract Wikipedia&quot; idea as well as offering something to link to within the Wikinews ecosystem. If nothing else, getting people in the habit of writing the 5W+H briefs would train them to write better articles, and might spark fresh collaborative curiosity. [[User:GreekApple123|GreekApple123]] ([[User talk:GreekApple123|talk]]) 16:12, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::Starting a &quot;Wikinews shorts&quot; section to the site would be similar to how many information companies are offering shorter content nowadays, like with YouTube Shorts or Tiktoks. The difference here is that Wikinews briefs can still be linked within the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, meaning that readers are able to quickly go from a brief overview of an event to very detailed content and details on its various aspects and contexts in any of the various sister projects.
:::::I think a detail of implementation that might increase consensus for this change would be to limit the number of short articles/force editors to occasionally write a long article, in order to prevent this new feature from overwhelming the site's tradition.

== Proposal 3: build a 5W+H database with Wikinews and Wikidata ==

Proposing to link the 5W+H with Wikidata.The date, who, and when with Wikidata looks easy-ish. And potentially &quot;why&quot; if there is a wikidata object for that. I am requesting your comments, votes, and implementation discussion. If there is a news story then link it to Wikidata item. If not, then generate based on Wikidata and publish as stub, if policies allow it. (See discussion above.)

== Proposal 4 from Michael C Wright ==

Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], you mentioned above that you agree that review process needs to be &quot;streamlined&quot;. Please pick '''only one''' actionable item for that and describe it here. I and others will hopefully discuss and vote on it. If you need more than one, add as proposal 5, 6, 7, etc. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]], [[WN:IRC|live chat]]) 14:00, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

:I’ve already made concrete, actionable proposals. See [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Markup for developing articles and the review process]], which has been in use and iteratively improved over the past several months. That discussion has been ongoing for over eight months and includes specific, low-impact changes that several contributors are already using successfully.
:Rather than introducing a new set of numbered proposals here, I think it’s more constructive to evaluate and build on the work that’s already underway—and to ensure that any streamlining of the review process preserves core standards like sourcing, plagiarism checks, and neutrality. Recent events have made clear that skipping those checks creates more work and reputational risk in the long run. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:44, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::may i get a plot, the orange line which was in &quot;wikinews is dying&quot; post, updated to include additional weeks to now? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 14:52, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
::By the way, I think it is confusing that you state opinions as facts. You cannot write &quot;Recent events have made clear that skipping those checks creates more work and reputational risk in the long run.&quot;, for example; that is an opinion. If I had such opinion, I would write &quot;I am concerned that, as recently it happened, skipping these checks may create more work and reputational risk in the long run&quot;. Or something like that. It is a concern. It is not an absolute. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 17:06, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

I’m increasingly concerned that this discussion has become a back-and-forth between two people, and that in itself is becoming disruptive to the project. Our goal here should be to examine how we can streamline the review process without sacrificing key standards like plagiarism checks, neutrality, and proper sourcing.

I’ve already made proposals in that direction, which are currently in use and being tested. Rather than continuing to debate procedural structure in this thread, I’d welcome broader input from others on how those ideas are working in practice and whether they address the core challenges we face.

Ultimately, the focus should stay on quality, sustainability, and collective problem-solving, not on personalities or side threads. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

:So you cannot provide plot. Provide me with the code for it then please. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 15:34, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== Proposal 5 from Gryllida Notifications app or email setting ==

Apps to notify users from Echo for: Android, Mac, iOS, Windows. This should help users edit more quickly. As they cannot always eyeball the wiki. Maybe need to investigate how to setup Echo to email each @mention to a user. Is this setting on by default? App would be nicer as not all users get Notofication to their device for email.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/24|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716]
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|on ''Diff'']]. It is possible to opt out of these changes [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion|in user preferences]] (&quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-visualenhancements}}&quot;). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319146][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392121]
* Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|the rest of the Wikipedias in this project]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T391964]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* AbuseFilter editors active on Meta-Wiki and large Wikipedias are kindly asked to update AbuseFilter to make it compatible with temporary accounts. A link to the instructions and the private lists of filters needing verification are [[phab:T369611|available on Phabricator]].
* Lua modules now have access to the name of a page's associated thumbnail image, and on [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/operations/mediawiki-config/+/2e4ab14aa15bb95568f9c07dd777065901eb2126/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php#10849 some wikis] to the WikiProject assessment information. This is possible using two new properties on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#added-by-extensions|mw.title objects]], named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;pageImage&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;pageAssessments&lt;/code&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131911][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380122]

== Welcome back, Microchip08 ==

I wanted to ask you what you think of the add-on for Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/source-fill-for-wikinews/?src=collection

There is a discussion open about it at [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#To_Firefox_users_—_those_who_review_and_edit|the water cooler]] but I am not sure whether you are watching the page.

--[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

== Script? ==

Hello Microchip08,

Do you use a script for tagging articles? The edit summary looks interesting. I spend a lot of time doing this manually in at least two clicks plus manual typing and waiting and this gets tedious. I thought I asked before but I don't see this question here now; probably I forgot to ask.

--[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[WN:IRC|chat]]) 01:42, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

== How we will see unregistered users ==

&lt;section begin=content/&gt;
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

== Reviewer ==

Hello. Your account has the [[:WN:Reviewer|reviewer permission]]. Please could you confirm if you have reviewed an article in the last two years because the [[:WN:PEP|permission expiry policy]] requires no more than two years pass between each review you carry out. If you have not done a review in the last two years, I’m inviting you to carry out a review of an article in the next seven days. Otherwise the permission will be removed from your account.

Hello. As a reviewer, this note is just to let you know we are implementing a trial from February 1 to April 30 to encourage more articles to be published per the outcome of a current [[:Special:Diff/4659525|proposal]].

Hello. We've created [[Wikinews:Writing contest 2023]], which will start on February 1 and end on May 1. It is modeled on the successful 2010 and 2013 contests. As a reviewer who has recently been inactive, it would be a great time for you to rejoin.

== Your (in)activity as a reviewer ==

Hello &lt;s&gt;again&lt;/s&gt;. As I see, your last [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=review&amp;user=Microchip08 review log] was January 2019, more than four years ago. Per [[WN:PEP]], your lack of reviewer activity for two or more years would lead you to loss of your [[Wikinews:Reviewing|reviewer permission rights]]. Of course, you could've used the Easy Peer Review tool, whose actions aren't recorded in the Review log, within the past two years. If you also haven't used the gadget tool within the time frame, then a request that you no longer be a reviewer may more likely be possible.

== Requesting a review ==

Hello @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]], I can see that despite recent inactivity you're still one of the few reviewers and administrators on Wikinews. 

I would appreciate if you could come back briefly to review my first Wikinews article here: [[World Athletics Indoor Championships concludes in Glasgow with new world records and significant wins]]. I can see Wikinews is becoming more inactive, and I would love to stay and contribute but I would need my article to get a review for this to happen.

If you're not available or too rusty, I was wondering if you could approve [[Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/Asheiou|Asheiou's RfP here]] to increase the number of reviewers.

Thank you, --[[User:Habst|Habst]] ([[User talk:Habst|talk]]) 17:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

== Review please? ==

Hi 

(I am messaging all reviewers)

Hope you are doing well.

Here are submitted for peer review:

* [[Photo exhibition “Ethnic features of the world people” took place in the Crimean capital]]
* [[On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2024]]
*[[&quot;Machu Picchu, and not only...&quot;, a new photo exhibition by Viktor Pinchuk was held in Crimea]]

Could you please review? Even a little edit or just one review would help a lot. (I don't require a commitment to review every day from now on.)

Would you like to get notified of new drafts submitted for review? If so, please tell me which topics (or any topic) and where (email, wiki messages, push notification on smart phone, notification in wiki Notifications, or somewhere else).

Would you find a [[WN:RNA]] page for reviewers useful, it would be similar to [[WN:AAA]] but intended for reviewers to discuss reviewing and related software.

Would you be interested other communications off-wiki to create audio or video contact with other reviewers? I think this online gathering could be an essential part to deduce how to make article authoring and review easier. It could be just 30 minutes a month, and you don't have to participate every time. I would write a meeting minutes note after each session and publish it on-wiki if desired.

Thanks!

== The future of Wikinews ==

You recently shared a comment in the [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/miscellaneous#Future_of_Wikinews|Future of Wikinews]] discussion suggesting we consider doing away with the current review process. As another reviewer who’s hoping to see the project improve, I’d be really interested to hear more if you're open to sharing. Would you be interested in exploring that idea further? What kind of alternative to the review system do you think might work—and might make it worthwhile for you to be more active here again? —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:50, 11 June 2025 (UTC)</text>

== I'm currently blocked for Open proxy. ==

Sorry I didn't realize I had a vpn on.... You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis.

The block was made by ‪AmandaNP‬. The reason given is No open proxies .

Start of block: 07:08, 7 October 2023
Expiry of block: 07:08, 7 October 2025
Your current IP address is 54.38.78.132. The blocked range is 54.38.0.0/16.

Please include all above details in any queries you make. If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the No open proxies global policy. Otherwise, to discuss the block please post a request for review on Meta-Wiki. You could also send an email to the stewards VRT queue at stewards@wikimedia.org including all above details.

:::Thanks for the ping. I am procedurally declining the request, since there was technically no block to review, to remove it from the queue. On a related point, BigKrow, please do just be careful about the use of multiple accounts. Appears you've had a half dozen or so just in the past few months.

== Tagging articles as abandoned ==

Hi. When tagging articles as abandoned, it should be done with a date parameter. This can most easily be achieved by using {{tl|subst:aband}}. It will automatically resolve the current date and start the two day countdown. Cheers, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 14:56, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

:Much appreciated, thank you! [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 16:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
:@[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]] {{tl|abandoned|December 26, 2023|}}
i guess working now, it was a red link so i didn't think it would work. Thanks. [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 16:16, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

== [[Turkey attacks northern Iraq, and Syria after 12 people killed]] ==

Yes, tagging with author request is good enough unless other editors have worked on it. It was an interesting event which I had not seen at the top of my news headlines, so I was a bit disappointed you chose this route. [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 00:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

:I have a bad habit of deleting I'm sorry.... [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 00:57, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

== Tagging for speedy deletion ==

Hi BigKrow, a couple of comments. First, there is no need to tag abandoned articles for speedy, even if it's been a couple of days since the countdown has run out. They already appear in a tracking category for Sysops to see as needing deletion. Second, in other cases where {{tl|speedy}} or {{tl|delete}} (they are the same, by the way) is appropriate, please give a valid reason. The list of valid reasons can be seen [[:Template:Delete|here]]. Thanks, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 22:07, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
:Related is [[NIETians shine at Smart India Hackthon 2023]] which you sought to have speedied because the user was blocked. The user was blocked because the name suggested representing [https://www.niet.co.in/ National Institute of Engineering &amp; Technology] at {{w|Greater Noida}}. It is not permitted for institutions to have an account which can be used by anybody there. If they want to contribute, the accounts need to represent a single individual.

== Accounts ==

Hi BigKrow. You can also go to [[M:Steward requests/Username changes]] and request that they usurp and merge all of your accounts into BigKrow. This will prevent you from being accused of [[m:Sock puppetry|sock puppetry]] on other projects. I am only an administrator on Wikinews, nowhere else.

== [[Nammo has signed an agreement with Sweden to support Ukraine with ammunition]] ==

I reviewed this, but it did not pass. My review comments are firm in their wording, but I was not intending to insult you. I write here to make sure you don't take it the wrong way.&lt;br&gt;You start a lot of articles but very few are fully developed and very few get published. The topics of your articles are so varied (from global news to hyper-local news), it almost seems like you pick them at random. While the aim of Wikinews is to have broad coverage of news from all over the world, this may not be the best way to approach article creation. In my experience, the best articles are written when the author really cares about the subject and wants to tell that story. If you are not a soccer fan, you may not be the best person to write about Lazio v Roma.&lt;br&gt;So, I hope you can think on this. What really peaks your interest when you read the news? Is it politics? Science? Crime? Economics? Find something you care about and really get into it. Learn about it. Get sources; not just the latest but maybe something for background. Cheers, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 02:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

== Wikinewsie category ==

I created your wikinewsie category for you. I hope you don't mind. It's a hidden category, not visible in article space.

[[:Category:BigKrow_(Wikinewsie)]]

Feel free to edit the verbiage on the category however you like. Check out what other users have on theirs for inspiration. Just be sure to preserve the &lt;nowiki&gt;__HIDDENCAT__&lt;/nowiki&gt; line. 

You can link to it from your user page and/or signature so others can see a list of articles you've gotten published. You can also link to it from off-wiki, if you have a blog, or social media page, etc for your journalism work. 

I typically add the category to articles once they're published, not before. I already added it to [[Islamic_State_Khorasan_Province_responsible_for_more_than_60_people_killed_including_children_and_hundreds_injured_at_Krasnogorsk,_Russia_concert_at_Crocus_City_Hall|Islamic_State_Khorasan_Province_responsible_for_more_than_60_people_killed_including_children_and_hundreds_injured_at_Krasnogorsk,_Russia_concert_at_Crocus_City_Hall]].

== [[:United States gives Ukraine permission to strike inside Russian territory near Kharkiv]] ==

A couple of issues:
* The copyvio detector gives a 53% match. Mostly it is due to extensive quotes. I would suggest breaking up Macron's comment, which currently runs to six lines. It's simply too long to read in one breath.
* The second sentence in the second paragraph doesn't actually say anything. I suggest either removing it or expanding it.
* Some minor grammar such as the last sentence, which is missing the word &quot;policy&quot; before the quote marks?
* The article needs rrnaming. I suggest: &quot;Ukraine allowed to strike Russian territory near Kharkiv with US weapons&quot;.
Otherwise looks good to go. I thought I'd point these things out here rather than putting on a negative review, so you can quickly fix them. ['''[[:User:Cromium|&lt;sub&gt;24&lt;/sub&gt;Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 09:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

== Staleness ==

I just thought I'd share my thoughts on this because you seem to be very attentive to this issue. Our normal route is to wait until four days have passed without edits (or talkpage discussion) and then tag with subst:aband. Then if there are no edits for another two days, it would be deleted. I have been thinking of a proposal to reduce this from 4+2 days to 3+1 days or even 2+1 days to encourage more publishing, especially given last year we increased the window of freshness from 2-3 days to 5-7 days and reduced the minimum length to 100 words. What would you think of a shrinking of the subst:aband route? ['''[[:User:Cromium|&lt;sub&gt;24&lt;/sub&gt;Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 19:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Good try but I'm going to delete it because it is very unlikely to be populated at the moment. The article which is tagged as being in the category - well, it isn't really about Bollywood. For it to be a viable category, it would need at least three relevant articles i.e. about Bollywood in general rather than actors or movies which happen to be part of Bollywood.

== How to follow newer drafts ==

Hi BigKrow [[File:Smiley.svg|16px]]

Some people read the &quot;recent changes&quot; page constantly. Some others refresh &quot;Newsroom&quot; a few times a day. 

There is an easier alternative to follow latest drafts: visit [[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]], either manually once a week, or click &quot;Subscribe&quot; button at right top. It will Notify or Email (depending on configuration) when a new topic is added to the page. Then you can see what to edit and what are main requests for help with it, without spending too much time on the site. 

Editing other drafts -- and answering questions at the water cooler linked above, which is the less time consuming version -- may help reviewers spend less time on these other drafts, and review your articles faster.

Hope it helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:47, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

== subscription technical question ==

Hi @[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] :-)

I am asking for some technical information when you have a moment:

# You wrote the page [[Improvised explosive device attack at the Santa Maria Courthouse in Santa Maria, California injures five people, one person arrested]]
# When you open [[Talk:Improvised explosive device attack at the Santa Maria Courthouse in Santa Maria, California injures five people, one person arrested]]. At right top. Does it say 'Subscribe' or 'Ubsubscribe'? I.e., are you already automatically subscribed to receive notifications of new messages on the talk page or not?

There is no urgency in my new message on the talk page - just want to check how the wiki is configured on your account (I will ask several other contributors also) as this may affect communication with authors.

That is the general spirit of gatwicking. This didn't make it, but there are (maybe) articles where his Mom said something or his priest said something, or the police searched his home or a storage unit.

For starters: Please don't take this harshly -- as it isn't meant to be such. Historically, when I start articles, they are often pell-mell slap-dash bits of who-knows-what... but I often work fairly quickly to get them orderly (to some degree). I've noticed a few things (in recent weeks). You tend to start articles with a few sentences and then just move on. Are you working some type of plan there? Also (and this is just a personal chuckle --- you ''are not'' remotely the worst of them) -- it makes me laugh when people write 39 words in an article and '''I see &lt;u&gt;5 sources at the bottom of the page&lt;/u&gt;'''.

== Re: revitalising Wikinews ==

Hi, I'm reaching out to you as you indicated support for revitalising Wikinews. Here are a few ways to help out, in no particular order:

# write new articles by [[WN:SG|style guide]] and [[WN:CG|content guide]]
# find news which happened today and share it on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] or [[WN:REQ|a news tip page]]
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those submitted for review, and edit them to make them more comprehensive or more current
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those that failed review recently, and address reviewer's comments quickly and re-submit for review
# chat with new authors (of articles in Newsroom) and help them understand the key concepts
# subscribe at [[Wikinews:Water cooler]] (there are 5 subforums, open each and click 'Subscribe' link at top - then keep a close eye on your Echo notifications) to help newcomers and help with editing articles when someone requests assistance
# chat on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] and help newcomers and reviewers with their review process
# help with software development for authoring or reviewing articles, perhaps for the mobile platforms
# chat with other contributors on audio or video chat
# present notes about how Wikinews works at various conferences via audio and video communucations [as we don't have funds for travel at present] this can be linux, programming, journalistical, or wikimedia themed conferences
# figure out how to get someone to do any of the above through a grant, sometimes google summer of code
# find high school and university educators who would like to teach their class journalism by asking them to write articles for Wikinews (was done with [[Category:UoW|University of Wollongong]] in the past, and we have extension installed for marking students)
# collaborate with [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] on getting more news coverage of the New York City and adjacent areas
# proofread, or read, Wikinews articles out loud for Audio Wikinews
# make English Wikinews accounts on various social media like twitter, facebook, blue sky app (sp?), others [in consultation with someone on-wiki first] ensuring you're posting new news articles there with appropriate tags, moderate comments, and setup multiple moderators if possible and document which contributor is in charge of which social network account for Wikinews and how articles are being posted there

Please let me know which of these points you're most comfortable with, and/or would like to learn.

'''''Which points would you like to contribute?''''' Please name up to 3-5 points, if you like. Or suggest your own. :-)

I'm happy to connect with you and guide you in any of the above areas.

== It's not the end of the world if something goes stale ==

They said something like &quot;don't get married to your article&quot; when I first started here. I like having lots of little projects I can chip away at throughout the day. That's how I like to work. Also, if I bring the stories to the site, alot of the time other users pick them up and run with them. Pretty sure I had very little to do with the last few stories that were published. I just brought the links, I guess. I literally woke up this morning and was delighted to see that two more stories got published. Sometimes starting a stub article is what prompts someone to take a story and run with it. I'm just planting seeds here. This is what revitalizing Wikinews looks like to me. Like I said before, anything that goes stale or gets abandoned can probably get used for Wikipedia, Simple Wikipedia or Wikiquote.

== About noise from other users ==

Hello BigKrow,

When someone is being a fool, unlike Wikipedia, at Wikinews there is no response needed. There is no 'assume good faith' policy. Instead, there is 'never assume'. If someone did one stupid edit, it is seen as stupid, there is no 'maybe this was a good faith edit by a confused newcomer' and a polite conversation. This isn't necessary.

It is also not necessary to approach the user and ask 'hey why did you do this?'.

The motivation for this is that waste of time is not constructive to a journalistic site. Distractions are ignored as much as possible.

Think this may spare you some time and effort. Seeing that there are a few more new users recently and alas not all of them are constructive.

I will of course continue to actively clean up and try to reduce vandalism as much as possible. (This process is necessary at either wiki.)

Hope it helps. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 00:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

== Paste ==

Hi BigKrow

In the article there was a published paste from source,

https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Emergency_landing_by_Alaska_Airlines_at_Portland_International_Airport&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4858559

&gt; Flight and maintenance crews determined it was safe to continue the approximately two-hour flight to Portland.

This is '''terrible''' as it is illegal, and other users who will edit the page '''will not even know'''.

May I suggest to 

1. Paste in seoarate paragraph only, not add to existing paragraph

2. Mark pasted content:

* in visual editor: mark it in italic

* in source editor: add a &quot;&gt;&quot; before, or enclose in single quotation marks twice to indicate it was pasted, or write &quot;Pasted: &quot; before it

''like this''

Importantly, I believe '''saving''' a pasted text which is not freely licensed is '''illegal (copyright violation)''', and may result in legal action being taken against you, by the original author. This includes copyrighted text in page history, as the prior revisions are also under the same licence as Wikinews itself. So I would suggest '''leaving the article open in edit mode until you have written it in your own words and deleted the quote.'''

So I would envision you coming up with a content like this:


-----

Pasted: Flight and maintenance crews determined it was safe to continue the approximately two-hour flight to Portland.

The airline staff assessed the situation during takeoff, and considered it safe to proceed with the two-hour flight.

-----

(Then the &quot;pasted&quot; paragraph can be deleted, and the edit can be saved.)

I wrote this page for news draft writing, which is saved to localStorage in your browser. Alas, it does not allow you to save on-wiki yet; you would need to transfer the content over manually.

https://gryllida.neocities.org/news/writer/v2/

The load and save buttons load from localStorage and save to localStorage, they do not save to wiki.

Please let me know if this is helpful.

== Tagging articles as abandoned ==

Hi. When tagging articles as abandoned, it should be done with a date parameter. This can most easily be achieved by using {{tl|subst:aband}}. It will automatically resolve the current date and start the two day countdown. Cheers, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 14:56, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

:Much appreciated, thank you! [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 16:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

== [[Turkey attacks northern Iraq, and Syria after 12 people killed]] ==

Yes, tagging with author request is good enough unless other editors have worked on it. It was an interesting event which I had not seen at the top of my news headlines, so I was a bit disappointed you chose this route. [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 00:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

== Tagging for speedy deletion ==

Hi BigKrow, a couple of comments. First, there is no need to tag abandoned articles for speedy, even if it's been a couple of days since the countdown has run out. They already appear in a tracking category for Sysops to see as needing deletion. Second, in other cases where {{tl|speedy}} or {{tl|delete}} (they are the same, by the way) is appropriate, please give a valid reason. The list of valid reasons can be seen [[:Template:Delete|here]]. Thanks, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 22:07, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

== [[Nammo has signed an agreement with Sweden to support Ukraine with ammunition]] ==

I reviewed this, but it did not pass. My review comments are firm in their wording, but I was not intending to insult you. I write here to make sure you don't take it the wrong way.&lt;br&gt;You start a lot of articles but very few are fully developed and very few get published. The topics of your articles are so varied (from global news to hyper-local news), it almost seems like you pick them at random. While the aim of Wikinews is to have broad coverage of news from all over the world, this may not be the best way to approach article creation. In my experience, the best articles are written when the author really cares about the subject and wants to tell that story. If you are not a soccer fan, you may not be the best person to write about Lazio v Roma.&lt;br&gt;So, I hope you can think on this. What really peaks your interest when you read the news? Is it politics? Science? Crime? Economics? Find something you care about and really get into it. Learn about it. Get sources; not just the latest but maybe something for background.

== Wikinewsie category ==

I created your wikinewsie category for you. I hope you don't mind. It's a hidden category, not visible in article space.

[[:Category:BigKrow_(Wikinewsie)]]

Feel free to edit the verbiage on the category however you like. Check out what other users have on theirs for inspiration. Just be sure to preserve the &lt;nowiki&gt;__HIDDENCAT__&lt;/nowiki&gt; line. 

You can link to it from your user page and/or signature so others can see a list of articles you've gotten published. You can also link to it from off-wiki, if you have a blog, or social media page, etc for your journalism work. 

I typically add the category to articles once they're published, not before. I already added it to [[Islamic_State_Khorasan_Province_responsible_for_more_than_60_people_killed_including_children_and_hundreds_injured_at_Krasnogorsk,_Russia_concert_at_Crocus_City_Hall|Islamic_State_Khorasan_Province_responsible_for_more_than_60_people_killed_including_children_and_hundreds_injured_at_Krasnogorsk,_Russia_concert_at_Crocus_City_Hall]].

== [[:United States gives Ukraine permission to strike inside Russian territory near Kharkiv]] ==

A couple of issues:
* The copyvio detector gives a 53% match. Mostly it is due to extensive quotes. I would suggest breaking up Macron's comment, which currently runs to six lines. It's simply too long to read in one breath.
* The second sentence in the second paragraph doesn't actually say anything. I suggest either removing it or expanding it.
* Some minor grammar such as the last sentence, which is missing the word &quot;policy&quot; before the quote marks?
* The article needs rrnaming. I suggest: &quot;Ukraine allowed to strike Russian territory near Kharkiv with US weapons&quot;.
Otherwise looks good to go. I thought I'd point these things out here rather than putting on a negative review, so you can quickly fix them. ['''[[:User:Cromium|&lt;sub&gt;24&lt;/sub&gt;Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 09:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

== Staleness ==

I just thought I'd share my thoughts on this because you seem to be very attentive to this issue. Our normal route is to wait until four days have passed without edits (or talkpage discussion) and then tag with subst:aband. Then if there are no edits for another two days, it would be deleted. I have been thinking of a proposal to reduce this from 4+2 days to 3+1 days or even 2+1 days to encourage more publishing, especially given last year we increased the window of freshness from 2-3 days to 5-7 days and reduced the minimum length to 100 words. What would you think of a shrinking of the subst:aband route? ['''[[:User:Cromium|&lt;sub&gt;24&lt;/sub&gt;Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 19:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

== [[:Category:Bollywood]] ==

Good try but I'm going to delete it because it is very unlikely to be populated at the moment. The article which is tagged as being in the category - well, it isn't really about Bollywood. For it to be a viable category, it would need at least three relevant articles i.e. about Bollywood in general rather than actors or movies which happen to be part of Bollywood. The only example I can find is [[:Bollywood cricket victory in Yorkshire charity match]], which involves a sports team representing the industry.

== How to follow newer drafts ==

Hi BigKrow [[File:Smiley.svg|16px]]

Some people read the &quot;recent changes&quot; page constantly. Some others refresh &quot;Newsroom&quot; a few times a day. 

There is an easier alternative to follow latest drafts: visit [[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]], either manually once a week, or click &quot;Subscribe&quot; button at right top. It will Notify or Email (depending on configuration) when a new topic is added to the page. Then you can see what to edit and what are main requests for help with it, without spending too much time on the site. 

Editing other drafts -- and answering questions at the water cooler linked above, which is the less time consuming version -- may help reviewers spend less time on these other drafts, and review your articles faster.

Hope it helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:47, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

== subscription technical question ==

Hi @[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] :-)

I am asking for some technical information when you have a moment:

# You wrote the page [[Improvised explosive device attack at the Santa Maria Courthouse in Santa Maria, California injures five people, one person arrested]]
# When you open [[Talk:Improvised explosive device attack at the Santa Maria Courthouse in Santa Maria, California injures five people, one person arrested]]. At right top. Does it say 'Subscribe' or 'Ubsubscribe'? I.e., are you already automatically subscribed to receive notifications of new messages on the talk page or not?

There is no urgency in my new message on the talk page - just want to check how the wiki is configured on your account (I will ask several other contributors also) as this may affect communication with authors.

Thank you so much. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 23:45, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

::Well, the trick is: don't over complicate it. Think of it like this: Most ''big'' new stories have '''all kinds of stuff''' happening around them. So, we are a bit stale on the actual event itself. But: maybe there has been some courtroom stuff surrounding the guy, and you could use 70% of what is currently in ''this'' article, to build that article. See? That is the general spirit of gatwicking. This didn't make it, but there are (maybe) articles where his Mom said something or his priest said something, or the police searched his home or a storage unit. Then (considering 'inverted pyramid' style), you can put almost all of this near the bottom of THAT article.

For starters: Please don't take this harshly -- as it isn't meant to be such. Historically, when I start articles, they are often pell-mell slap-dash bits of who-knows-what... but I often work fairly quickly to get them orderly (to some degree). I've noticed a few things (in recent weeks). You tend to start articles with a few sentences and then just move on. Are you working some type of plan there? Also (and this is just a personal chuckle --- you ''are not'' remotely the worst of them) -- it makes me laugh when people write 39 words in an article and '''I see &lt;u&gt;5 sources at the bottom of the page&lt;/u&gt;'''.

== Re: revitalising Wikinews ==

Hi, I'm reaching out to you as you indicated support for revitalising Wikinews. Here are a few ways to help out, in no particular order:

# write new articles by [[WN:SG|style guide]] and [[WN:CG|content guide]]
# find news which happened today and share it on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] or [[WN:REQ|a news tip page]]
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those submitted for review, and edit them to make them more comprehensive or more current
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those that failed review recently, and address reviewer's comments quickly and re-submit for review
# chat with new authors (of articles in Newsroom) and help them understand the key concepts
# subscribe at [[Wikinews:Water cooler]] (there are 5 subforums, open each and click 'Subscribe' link at top - then keep a close eye on your Echo notifications) to help newcomers and help with editing articles when someone requests assistance
# chat on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] and help newcomers and reviewers with their review process
# help with software development for authoring or reviewing articles, perhaps for the mobile platforms
# chat with other contributors on audio or video chat
# present notes about how Wikinews works at various conferences via audio and video communucations [as we don't have funds for travel at present] this can be linux, programming, journalistical, or wikimedia themed conferences
# figure out how to get someone to do any of the above through a grant, sometimes google summer of code
# find high school and university educators who would like to teach their class journalism by asking them to write articles for Wikinews (was done with [[Category:UoW|University of Wollongong]] in the past, and we have extension installed for marking students)
# collaborate with [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] on getting more news coverage of the New York City and adjacent areas
# proofread, or read, Wikinews articles out loud for Audio Wikinews
# make English Wikinews accounts on various social media like twitter, facebook, blue sky app (sp?), others [in consultation with someone on-wiki first] ensuring you're posting new news articles there with appropriate tags, moderate comments, and setup multiple moderators if possible and document which contributor is in charge of which social network account for Wikinews and how articles are being posted there

Please let me know which of these points you're most comfortable with, and/or would like to learn.

'''''Which points would you like to contribute?''''' Please name up to 3-5 points, if you like. Or suggest your own. :-)

I'm happy to connect with you and guide you in any of the above areas.

== If I stop writing, it's probably because I died in a work-related accident to no fault of my own ==

I just got a new lawn care job but there are has been like zero regard for the safety of the crew, myself, and others on the road. I'm the only one who wears their seatbeats. I raised concern that wheelbarrows were not getting strapped down properly, and they might fly out of the trailer going 70mph on the interstate and kill someone, and I got ignored. The foreman texts and drives. I'm borderline about to blow my top. I was 7 minutes late this morning and the owner was like &quot;dude wtf you're late&quot; and I just wanted to be like &quot;oh my fucking god dude.&quot; Sorry for the &quot;shock image&quot; over at the talk page for the horse article.

== It's not the end of the world if something goes stale ==

They said something like &quot;don't get married to your article&quot; when I first started here. I like having lots of little projects I can chip away at throughout the day. That's how I like to work. Also, if I bring the stories to the site, alot of the time other users pick them up and run with them. Pretty sure I had very little to do with the last few stories that were published. I just brought the links, I guess. I literally woke up this morning and was delighted to see that two more stories got published. Sometimes starting a stub article is what prompts someone to take a story and run with it. I'm just planting seeds here. This is what revitalizing Wikinews looks like to me. Like I said before, anything that goes stale or gets abandoned can probably get used for Wikipedia, Simple Wikipedia or Wikiquote.

== About noise from other users ==

Hello BigKrow,

When someone is being a fool, unlike Wikipedia, at Wikinews there is no response needed. There is no 'assume good faith' policy. Instead, there is 'never assume'. If someone did one stupid edit, it is seen as stupid, there is no 'maybe this was a good faith edit by a confused newcomer' and a polite conversation. This isn't necessary.

It is also not necessary to approach the user and ask 'hey why did you do this?'.

The motivation for this is that waste of time is not constructive to a journalistic site. Distractions are ignored as much as possible.

Think this may spare you some time and effort. Seeing that there are a few more new users recently and alas not all of them are constructive.

I will of course continue to actively clean up and try to reduce vandalism as much as possible. (This process is necessary at either wiki.)

Hope it helps. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 00:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

== Paste ==

Hi BigKrow

In the article there was a published paste from source,

https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Emergency_landing_by_Alaska_Airlines_at_Portland_International_Airport&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4858559

&gt; Flight and maintenance crews determined it was safe to continue the approximately two-hour flight to Portland.

This is '''terrible''' as it is illegal, and other users who will edit the page '''will not even know'''.

May I suggest to 

1. Paste in seoarate paragraph only, not add to existing paragraph

2. Mark pasted content:

* in visual editor: mark it in italic

* in source editor: add a &quot;&gt;&quot; before, or enclose in single quotation marks twice to indicate it was pasted, or write &quot;Pasted: &quot; before it

''like this''

Importantly, I believe '''saving''' a pasted text which is not freely licensed is '''illegal (copyright violation)''', and may result in legal action being taken against you, by the original author. This includes copyrighted text in page history, as the prior revisions are also under the same licence as Wikinews itself. So I would suggest '''leaving the article open in edit mode until you have written it in your own words and deleted the quote.'''

So I would envision you coming up with a content like this:


-----

Pasted: Flight and maintenance crews determined it was safe to continue the approximately two-hour flight to Portland.

The airline staff assessed the situation during takeoff, and considered it safe to proceed with the two-hour flight.

-----

(Then the &quot;pasted&quot; paragraph can be deleted, and the edit can be saved.)

I wrote this page for news draft writing, which is saved to localStorage in your browser. Alas, it does not allow you to save on-wiki yet; you would need to transfer the content over manually.

https://gryllida.neocities.org/news/writer/v2/

The load and save buttons load from localStorage and save to localStorage, they do not save to wiki.

Please let me know if this is helpful.

{{Politics and conflicts}}

On 5 June 2025, the {{w|2025 Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election|Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election}} was held in {{w|Scotland}}. The election was held following the death of incumbent {{w|Member of the Scottish Parliament|MSP}} {{w|Christina McKelvie}} in March. The by-election was won by {{w|Davy Russell (politician)|Davy Russell}} from the {{w|Scottish Labour}}. Ten candidates stood in the by-election.

Former First Minister {{w|Nicola Sturgeon}} campaigned with SNP candidate Katy Loudon. {{w|Reform UK}} was accused of racism after an attack ad against {{w|Anas Sarwar}}. Issues in the campaign included cost of living, healthcare, small businesses and revitalising the town centre.

Labour candidate Davy Russell was elected with 31.6% of the vote. The {{w|Scottish National Party}} came in second with 29.4% ahead of {{w|Reform UK}} which came in third place with 26.1%. The {{w|Scottish Conservatives}} won 6.0%, the {{w|Scottish Greens}} had 2.6%, and the {{w|Scottish Liberal Democrats}} won 2.0%.

In his victory speech, Russell said “Like the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse – and right across Scotland – we all feel we’ve been let down by the SNP. After nearly two decades [in power], they don’t deserve another chance... The poison of Reform isn’t us, it isn’t Scotland, and we don’t want your division here&quot;. According to ''BBC News'' the outcome is significant going into the {{w|Scottish Parliament}} election scheduled for 2026.

{{Nepal}}

On Friday, the {{W|Supreme Court of Nepal}} ordered {{W|Rastriya Swatantra Party}} President {{W|Rabi Lamichhane}} to remain in custody, by dismissing a {{W|habeas corpus}} petition from the defendant's wife. The defendant would need to remain in judicial custody during trial and until the ruling of the {{W|Rupandehi District Court}} about so-called &quot;Supreme Cooperative fraud case&quot; involving 27 other defendants.

The ongoing case started in December 2024 involving {{W|embezzlement}} charges, causing the defendant to be suspended from lawmaking. Among others, a Nepal police leader, Deputy Inspector General Chhabilal Joshi, was also charged in the case. They both allegedly transferred funds from Gorkha Media Network accounts to their personal accounts, which Chhabilal Joshi previously was directing.

The ruling came after {{W|Tulsipur High Court}} had previously also ordered the same, that the defendant remained in custody and was not released on bail. 

Several other charges were pending against the defendant from other districts and would need to be addressed before he could be released from custody. {{W|Dol Prasad Aryal}} has been leading the Rastriya Swatantra Party since April last year, when the defendant was sent to custody.

Police activity in Berkeley on Interstate 80 in the vicinity of University Avenue led to the closure of westbound lanes, causing significant traffic delays in the area. Although the lanes have since reopened, residual congestion persisted for some time after the incident.

On Friday, May 23, 2025, several suspects were apprehended after a police chase situated on Interstate 80 in the Berkeley area, close to the University Avenue and Ashby Avenue exits. The pursuit started when San Francisco police began following a vehicle believed to be connected to an attempted carjacking. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was alerted to the pursuit at around 1:50 p.m.

Key Details of the Pursuit

During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle reportedly while fleeing, the suspect vehicle allegedly tried to hit an , further intensifying the incident escalating the situation.

Aerial footage captured the chase ending on I-80, where at least three suspects exited the moving vehicle and attempted to flee on foot along the freeway.

All suspects were detained by officers on the scene.

Related Incidents and Context

While the May 23, 2025, incident was linked to an attempted carjacking, there have been other recent high-profile police pursuits in Berkeley involving armed robberies and dangerous suspects. For example, in March 2023, two armed robberies in Berkeley led to a pursuit on I-80, though no arrests were made in that case.

Additionally, in a separate May 2025 incident, a police chase in the area involved a suspect throwing a bag containing a live grenade from a vehicle, prompting a major law enforcement response and freeway closures.

Public Safety Response

The CHP and local police responded rapidly, shutting down portions of I-80 to ensure public safety and apprehend the fleeing suspects.

No injuries were reported in the immediate aftermath of the May 23, 2025, pursuit.

Ongoing Investigation

As of the latest updates, authorities have not released further details about the suspects or potential charges. Investigations into both the attempted carjacking and the actions during the pursuit are ongoing.

Summary Table

Date	Location	Incident Type	Outcome
May 23, 2025	I-80 near University Ave	Police pursuit, carjacking attempt	Multiple suspects detained

May 25, 2025 &lt;!--leave this as it is--&gt;
{{Australia}}
On Monday, May 26, at 8:00 a.m. local time, several hundreds members of various organized unions rallied at {{W|Martin Place}}, in [[Sydney]] {{w|CBD}}, [[Australia]] protesting proposed changes to workers compensation laws. On Tuesday, the state government has responded by announcing a few measures aimed at softening the impact of its major overhaul of workers' compensation.

On Tuesday, the government has introduced an eight-week procedure to access support for psychological issues at workplace, claiming it was faster than the existing procedures. NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey said, &quot;The introduction of a fast-tracked assessment process for bullying and harassment fundamentally resolves the problem that is plaguing the current system, which is that ….this category of claim is taking disproportionately longer than any others,&quot; Mr Mookhey said.

The Monday rally speakers condemned the Minns government’s -- the {{w|Australian Labor Party|Labor}}-led government in [[New South Wales]] -- proposed amendments, arguing they would make it much harder for injured workers—especially those with psychological injuries—to access compensation and mental health support. The rally members said they were strongly opposing the plan to raise the permanent impairment threshold for psychological injuries from 15% to 31% saying this change would exclude up to 95% of affected workers from receiving compensation for mental health claims. On Tuesday, the government has announced plans to keep the &quot;30% of whole person impairment&quot; target, anyway.

At the rally, the spokespersons highlighted that these reforms would shift the financial burden of workplace injuries from the government to individual workers, potentially leaving many without adequate support. One of the spokespeople said about this shift during the rally, with the attendees chanting 'shame' in response.

The rally attendees were accusing several politicians of breaking pre-election commitments to protect injured workers, criticizing the government for prioritizing budget savings over worker welfare. Premier {{w|Chris Minns}} has previously given his verbal support instead of signing while Industrial Relations Minister {{w|Sophie Cotsis}} and Treasurer {{w|Daniel Mookhey}} are part of the 80 MPs who have signed the pledge before the last election. 

Amber Flohm, Deputy President of the NSW Teachers Federation, stated that increasing the injury threshold would effectively eliminate psychological injury claims for most workers, shutting them out of compensation. Nursing assistant Sue Walton warned that if the bill passes, many injured workers would be left without any support or medical assistance through workers’ compensation.

The rally attendees had gathered at the location at 7:50am.  By then, over ten police officers were present in the area, including indoors in the adjacent 52 Martin Place building. The attendees included members of several unions, including {{W|CFMEU}}. 

Organized by Unions NSW, the rally was part of a coordinated campaign with rallies also held in Parramatta, Tweed Heads, Wollongong, and other regional centers.

{{United States}}
Officers of the {{w |1=Los Angeles Police Department}} (LAPD) shot an armed 42-year-old woman early Monday, May 26, after a slow-moving chase through the streets of {{w |1=Woodland Hills, Los Angeles |2=Woodland Hills}}, a neighborhood in {{w |1=Los Angeles}}, {{w |California}}, US. The woman was later hospitalized, though details of her injuries have not been disclosed.{{Verify |1=https://ktla.com/news/local-news/pursuit-of-armed-woman-ends-in-officer-involved-shooting-in-los-angeles-on-memorial-day/}}

The LAPD first responded to a call about a possible shooting in {{w |1=Van Nuys}} at around 7:15 a.m. When they arrived at 7:45 a.m. in the intersection between {{w |1=Sherman Way}} and Woodman Avenue{{Verify |1=https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/police-in-pursuit-of-armed-suspect-in-san-fernando-valley/}}, the officers saw the woman next to a white van, with its windshields visibly plastered with bullet holes. According to LAPD Detective Meghan Aguilar, she displayed a handgun and pointed it at herself, before entering the Ford van. This initiated an hour-long pursuit along {{w |1=Ventura Boulevard}} in the neighborhood of {{w |1=Tarzana, Los Angeles |2=Tarzana}}. Three dogs could be seen within the vehicle.{{Verify |1=https://ktla.com/news/local-news/pursuit-of-armed-woman-ends-in-officer-involved-shooting-in-los-angeles-on-memorial-day/}}

At about 8:10 a.m., the woman drove into a {{w |1=Dead-end street |2=cul-de-sac}} and stopped near Marmora Street and Arcana Road in Woodland Hills.{{Verify |1=https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/police-in-pursuit-of-armed-suspect-in-san-fernando-valley/}} However, she refused to surrender, and even stepped into the top of the vehicle at one point, while brandishing the firearm next to her head. Videos sent to {{w |1=Citizen (app) |2=Citizen App}} captured that exchange. LAPD officers wounded her as she ran away from the van to a nearby porch. After almost an hour of negotiations, around 10:30 a.m., the woman was taken into custody and later transferred to a local hospital, where she is undergoing surgery in critical condition, the {{w |1=Los Angeles Fire Department}} stated.

Witnesses recalled the tense moments of the standoff. Katarina Escalante said about the police's actions, &quot;We were trying to get you to calm down. We want to help you. We're not trying to hurt you.&quot; &quot;(...) It just seemed like she was having a pretty difficult time&quot;, said Eliza Scott.

The incident is currently being investigated by police.{{Verify |1=https://abc7.com/post/shots-fired-during-police-standoff-woodland-hills-involving-chase-suspect/16554773/}}

On Sunday, at least tens of thousands of people crowded the streets of {{w |1=Warsaw}}, {{w |1=Poland}}, in rival rallies held in support of presidential candidates {{w |1=Karol Nawrocki}} and {{w |1=Rafał Trzaskowski}}{{Verify|https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/|source2=https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/25/thousands-attend-rival-marches-in-warsaw-as-polands-presidential-runoff-nears|focal_event=true}}. According to ''Reuters'', the rallies aimed to build momentum for the highly competitive {{w |1=2025 Polish presidential election |2=run-off elections}}, scheduled to take place on June 1.{{Verify|https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/}} Unofficial preliminary estimates from city authorities placed a figure of about 140,000 attendees at Trzaskowski's rally and 50,000 at Nawrocki's rally, the {{w |1=Polish Press Agency}} first reported.{{Verify |1=https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/}}

Since November 2024, polls compiled by {{w|ewbory.eu}}, as reported by ''Euronews'', had shown Trzaskowski leading, but recent polls have indicated a tightening race.{{Verify|1=https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/25/polish-presidential-elections-2025-whos-leading-in-the-polls}} 

At Nawrocki's rally, named &quot;March for Poland&quot;{{Verify |1=https://www.dw.com/en/poles-march-in-warsaw-to-back-rival-presidential-candidates/a-72663249}}, supporters were seen displaying Polish flags and carrying banners reading &quot;This is Poland,&quot; and &quot;Stop Migration Pact,&quot; along with pictures of US President {{w |1=Donald Trump}}, according to ''Reuters''.{{Verify|https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/}} &quot;I am the voice of all those whose cries do not reach {{w |1=Donald Tusk}} today (...)&quot;,{{Verify|https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/}} Nawrocki said at the rally. &quot;I want Poland to be Poland, for me this is the basis&quot;, a random protester had told ''{{w |1=Euronews}}''.{{Verify |1=https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/25/thousands-attend-rival-marches-in-warsaw-as-polands-presidential-runoff-nears}}

Meanwhile, at the &quot;Great Patriots March&quot; Trzaskowski's supporters carried EU and Polish flags, and displayed banners that associated Nawrocki and President Duda to a demonic form of democracy they dubbed &quot;Demonkraci&quot;.{{Verify|https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/}} Trzaskowski claimed in a speech that Poland, Europe, and the world were watching.{{Verify |1=https://www.reuters.com/world/rival-marches-draw-thousands-warsaw-ahead-presidential-vote-2025-05-25/}} Some attendees reportedly had not voted for him in the first round.{{Verify |1=https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/25/thousands-attend-rival-marches-in-warsaw-as-polands-presidential-runoff-nears}}

Trzaskowski, who is affiliated to the pro-European {{w |1=Civic Platform (Poland) |2=Civic Platform}} (PO), has served as {{w |1=List of city mayors of Warsaw |2=Mayor of Warsaw}} since 2018{{Verify|https://www.politico.eu/article/karol-nawrocki-poland-election-accusations-polarization-rafal-trzaskowski/}} and had narrowly won the first round of the current election on May 18 by 31.36%{{Verify |1=https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/25/polish-presidential-elections-2025-whos-leading-in-the-polls}}; he has expressed support for {{w |1=LGBTQ rights by country or territory |2=LGBTQ+}} and {{w |1=abortion rights}}{{Verify |1=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/25/polish-presidential-candidates-hold-rival-rallies-in-warsaw-before-runoff-election}}. Nawrocki is a conservative historian from the right-wing {{w |1=Law and Justice Party}} (PiS),{{Verify|https://www.dw.com/en/poles-march-in-warsaw-to-back-rival-presidential-candidates/a-72663249}} and currently serves as president of the state-run {{w |1=Institute of National Remembrance}} since 2021,{{Verify|https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/25/polish-presidential-elections-2025-whos-leading-in-the-polls}} running on a platform of tax relief and emphasising national pride and culturally conservative values.{{Verify |1=https://www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/polands-presidential-runoff-puts-the-eu-centre-stage}}

According to {{w |1=Politico}}, the main issue with Trzaskowski is his association with Prime Minister Tusk, who has faced disillusionment among some voters as his government's efforts at passing legislation on abortion and same-sex couples and holding former PiS officials accountable for alleged crimes are regularly blocked by President Duda.

Nawrocki fares better among young men and voters living in the countryside, but he has faced controversy regarding the circumstances of his acquisition of a flat in {{w |1=Gdańsk}} from an elderly man in poor health; Nawrocki clarified that he intends to donate the flat to charity.{{Verify |1=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ln987g582o}} His past involvement in football hooliganism has also been the subject of media criticism, as reported by {{w |1=TVP World}}.{{Verify |1=https://tvpworld.com/86959069/polands-presidential-contenders-still-close-despite-scandals}}

William Duplessie, 32, was arrested after giving up to police in {{w|New York}}. Him and his business partner, were taken into custody on Friday, were accused of torturing an {{w|Italian}} tourist in {{w|Manhattan}} for their crypto information. 

The alleged victim said that they were &quot;hung off a ledge,&quot; &quot;shocked with electrical wires,&quot; and &quot;attacked with a chainsaw&quot; in an attempt to get them to reveal {{w|crypocurrency}} information.

The alleged victim's name was not released.
Two cryptocurrency investors, John Woeltz (37) and William Duplessie (32/33), have been arrested and charged in Manhattan after allegedly kidnapping and torturing a 28-year-old Italian businessman in a luxury SoHo townhouse for about 17 days. The motive was to force the victim—who knew the suspects through a business relationship—to reveal the password to his Bitcoin account.

According to police, the victim was lured to New York by threats against his family, then stripped of his passport and electronics, bound, beaten, shocked with electrical wires, forced to take narcotics, urinated on, pistol-whipped, attacked with a saw, and at one point dangled from a staircase. Blood was found throughout the apartment. The ordeal ended when the victim escaped and alerted authorities.

Both Woeltz and Duplessie have pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail, facing charges including kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment, and criminal possession of a weapon. The case has also triggered an NYPD internal investigation after it was revealed that two detectives, who had provided private security for one of the suspects, may have had prior connections to the townhouse where the crime occurred. These detectives have been placed on modified duty, though officials say they were unaware of any illegal activity.

On Wednesday, ''{{W|Science Advances}}'' journal published a paper highlighting implanted biobatteries shrinking a {{w|cancerous}} tumour by 99% in two weeks. The developed innovative approach would reportedly help reduce reliance on drugs for cancer treatment. The biobatteries used biological processes to generate electricity locally at the tumour site, and when the battery discharged, it added zinc and manganese ions, increasing the immune response and making the treatment more effective.

For subcutaneous tumour, that is, located between the skin and the muscle underneath it, the application of the device has resulted in the decrease of the tumour volume. On day 1, the tumour size was 50 mm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; to 60 mm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;. On day 15, several drug-free treatments were ineffective and tumour volume increased to 1,000 mm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;. Meanwhile, with the biobattery approach, the tumour shrank to 4 mm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;. The researchers had used daily {{W|X-ray}} {{W|diffractometry}} measurements to characterize the tumour response in the subjects, mice.

Two universities, {{W|University of Wollongong}} in [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], and {{W|Jilin University}} in [[China]], had collaborated on the experimental investigation. Three scientific funding bodies from China have supported the study.
A recent study published in Science Advances reveals that implantable biobatteries can dramatically reduce tumor size—by up to 99.6% in just two weeks—by harnessing electrochemical reactions to activate the immune system locally, offering a promising drug-free approach to cancer immunotherapy.

How It Works
The biobattery is made of zinc and manganese electrodes. When implanted at the tumor site, it discharges and releases zinc and manganese ions.

These ions alter the tumor microenvironment by:

Disrupting cancer cell metabolism, which inhibits tumor growth.

Stimulating the immune system, making it easier for T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells.

Generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that directly kill tumor cells.

The battery only activates in the presence of body fluids found in cancerous tissue, minimizing side effects elsewhere in the body.

Key Results
In lab tests on subcutaneous tumors, the biobattery shrank tumor volume from over 1,000 mm³ to just 4 mm³ within 14 days—a 99.6% reduction.

The localized release of metal ions avoids systemic toxicity, reducing side effects compared to conventional therapies.

When combined with hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs), the approach achieved up to 98% cancer cell death in vitro.

Clinical Implications
Targeted therapy: The device is implanted directly at the tumor, ensuring precise delivery of therapeutic ions and ROS.

Immunotherapy synergy: The biobattery enhances the body’s own immune response, outperforming some existing immunotherapies in experimental models.

Scalability: Researchers are preparing for preclinical and clinical trials to bring this technology closer to patients.

This biobattery strategy leverages electrochemistry to reshape the tumor environment, potentially providing a safer, more effective alternative to traditional drug or radiation-based treatments.

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to end a humanitarian parole program that provided temporary legal status to over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This decision lifts a lower court order that had blocked the administration’s efforts, exposing these migrants to possible deportation and raising the number of people at risk to nearly 1 million when combined with a previous ruling affecting about 350,000 Venezuelans.

The program, created by the Biden administration, allowed individuals fleeing dangerous conditions to live and work in the U.S. for up to two years. The Trump administration argued that such protections were always intended to be temporary and that the Department of Homeland Security has the authority to end them without court involvement.

The Supreme Court’s unsigned order did not provide an explanation. However, Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, warning that the ruling could cause severe harm to hundreds of thousands of people before courts finish reviewing the legality of ending their status. The dissent noted the “devastating consequences” of abruptly upending the lives of so many migrants while their legal challenges remain unresolved.

As a result, migrants who benefited from the humanitarian parole program can now be targeted for deportation while lawsuits continue in lower courts.

Hamas has announced that it is still considering a U.S.-sponsored ceasefire proposal for Gaza, despite Israel having already agreed to the terms. The proposal, which was delivered by American mediators, reportedly calls for a 60-day pause in fighting, the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza.

While Hamas has not yet issued a formal response, representatives have indicated that the plan does not fully address their main demands—namely, a lasting ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and unrestricted delivery of aid. Some officials have also voiced concerns about the lack of firm guarantees that Israel would not resume military operations after the initial ceasefire period.

Hamas leaders are currently consulting with other Palestinian groups and say they will announce their official position once internal discussions are complete.

Israeli forces opened fire near an aid distribution center in southern Gaza on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of at least 27 Palestinians and injuring dozens more, according to the Gaza Health Department.

Israeli authorities stated that they fired on individuals who had moved away from the designated route near the aid center in Rafah. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Earlier on Sunday, Palestinian and international officials reported that at least 31 Palestinians were killed and many others injured in an attack involving aid workers in Gaza. Additional casualties were reported on Monday.

Hours before the incident near the aid center, Israel reported that three of its soldiers were killed during fighting in northern Gaza.

Israel continues military operations in Gaza targeting Hamas, which has caused significant destruction in parts of the territory.

Reuters was unable to independently verify these reports from northern and southern Gaza.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), supported by the US and Israel, recently opened an aid distribution center in Gaza. Many residents in the region have been displaced from their homes.

The GHF distributes aid directly in Gaza, bypassing some international organizations including the United Nations. The UN and other aid agencies have expressed concerns about this approach, stating it may not align with international humanitarian standards.

The GHF reported distributing food in 21 trucks on Tuesday morning and described the distribution as “safe and smooth.”

Reports indicate casualties occurred as people gathered near the Rafah area to receive supplies.

The Israeli military stated it did not intentionally target civilians seeking aid and called the Sunday killings a “Hamas fabrication.”

Israel said its troops fired warning shots after seeing individuals deviating from the designated path. When those individuals did not stop, additional fire was directed at them.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed sorrow over the casualties and called for an independent investigation into the events.

Since October 7, 2023, over 54,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza amid ongoing conflict involving Israeli military operations.

[[File:DS15 BORG.jpg|thumb|left|250px|School entrance in 2022. {{image source|Wgraz}}]]
{{Austria}}
A gunman carried out a school shooting in Graz, Austria, killing eleven people on Tuesday. Starting around 10:00 (CEST) he attacked Austria second-largest learning center on Dreierschützengasse in the city. The 21-year-old former student, who had not completed his final exam, shot and killed nine people before turning the weapon on himself, according to the interior minister. A tenth victim later died in the hospital.

Officials stated that the shooter took his own life inside the school facility. In response, Austria will observe three days of mourning. The Chancellor said, &quot;No words for the pain and grief.&quot;

According to an unconfirmed report from the Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper, the suspect had experienced bullying. He entered the school with a pistol and a shotgun and opened fire on students in two different classrooms, including one he had previously attended.

Police, including special COBRA tactical units, responded within minutes. They evacuated the school and secured the area.

[[Japan]] beat [[Indonesia]] in football with score 6-0 at the Panasonic Stadium Suita, Suita, Osaka Prefecture, Japan this Tuesday, in the final Group C game in the AFC qualifiers.

{{W|Daichi Kamada}} has scored twice, and Takefusa Kubo, Ryoya Morishita, Shuto Machino and substitute Mao Hosoya each scored a goal. Indonesia had lost two defending players due to injuries during the game.

Long before this match, on March 20, Japan has secured a spot in the {{W|2026 FIFA World Cup}} with a score 2-0 victory over Bahrain in a match held in Saitama. Indonesia took fourth place in this round and still have a chance to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026: that will depend on the performance in the next matches of the Asian qualifiers.


So far, Japan has scored 30 goals in 10 games in the event.

== WHERE ARE OUR VOICES IN BENUE STATE  ==

See how Miyyeti Allah is always quick to respond anytime indigenous people try to defend themselves from the atrocities of their bush brothers or when security agencies attempt to enforce the anti-open grazing law on Benue soil.

They call it intimidation... a threat to the lives of Foolani bandits who are terrorising peaceful indigenous people. They don’t wait for their traditional rulers or political elites. Once they sense any resistance, they bark immediately.

Let’s be clear: the voice and opinion of Miyyeti Allah is the voices and opinions of all Foolani bandits across Nigeria and even beyond — including the Sultan of Sokoto and their political elites. 

None of them speaks directly; they all speak through that channel called, Miyyeti Allah, the very organization we know operates more like a terrorist group than anything peaceful.

But in Benue, people expect the governor to do all the talking, giving media interviews and crying up and down, accusing the federal government, like his predecessor, Adorogo. They want him to come out, declare war or call for self-defense so that his political enemies can use it against him.

They expect the Tor Tiv to speak out and declare war so that the federal government can clamp down on him through the help of those seeking to dethrone him.

Where is the umbrella body that will bring together the Tiv, Idoma, Igede, and other affected tribes in Benue — a voice that truly represents the people? Airing their opinions and demanding accountability. 

Where is Mdzough U Tiv (MUT)? When last did they issue a press statement condemning the ongoing killings and atrocities against Tiv people in Benue and Taraba? Are they still functioning? To me it is more like dead. 

If at all it's alive why can’t this organization stand up for the Tiv people who are clearly being targeted for annihilation? Why can’t they demand accountability from the Nigerian government for this ongoing crisis?

Where is the Tiv Development Association (TIDA)? What about MUTA and MUTUK? Everyone is silent. After all, &quot;Tar agba kpa Tar u gba, Tar u a kii ve Mbayev ga.&quot; Besides, &quot;mbayev vev mba ken America man UK, nahan kwagh gba ve ga.&quot;

Where is the Idoma National Forum (INF)? Last time I checked, they were sleeping just like their sister organizations. Their voice is so faint, even we can't hear it, talk more of the Nigerian government.

Maybe they’re waiting for Sen. Abba Moro or David Mark to speak, so that the government, controlled by wicked elements, can accuse them of inciting violence.

Maybe they’re waiting for the Och’Idoma to speak, so that he too can be marked for persecution and put on a watchlist by those who believe Nigeria belongs to them.

Idoma National Forum has not been vocal enough. Where is Opiatoha K’Idoma? What about Idoma Association USA/UK? All quiet.

Now think about it — where is the Igede Development Association (IDA)? Are they waiting for their brothers to move before they follow?

Last I checked, most Nigerians don’t even know your people are suffering in silence. Can’t you speak for your people for once? Or are you just there for formality? Even Igede National Youth Council (INYC) is fast asleep. Nothing kwansan it.

Isn’t it time all these groups come together and form a serious coalition? Even if it’s just to speak with one voice on the insecurity threatening our very existence as a people?

Let that voice be loud. Let it demand justice and an end to this madness.

Miyyeti Allah, a known terrorist group, sat comfortably in Benue — your land — and made reckless statements. And we’re all silent? If this is not madness, what is?

It's high time we ask these Sociocultural groups, what are they doing for the welfare of the Benue citizens. It's not enough to Organize Buruku Carnivals, Kwaghhiir, Idoma Carnivals and Igede-Agba, being a voice for the voiceless Benue citizens too is within their jurisdiction. 

The lives and welfare of Benue people too should be a priority, by the time we're completely eliminated, who would They represent? They themselves will go into extinction. 

It’s been over 15 years, and not one of those years passed without a mass burial in Benue. It has become part of our daily life.

Kpa I lu tsô.

This is my own opinion and I am entitle to it. If it doesn't align with yours, go to your timeline and air yours over there. Thank you 🙏.

== REV. SAM GAR  ==

I never had the privilege of meeting him one-on-one, yet this man left a profound impact on my life. He reshaped my understanding of religion, politics, and the history of our land in ways I never imagined.

It’s hard to believe it’s already nearing five years since the man of God, Pastor Sam Gar, departed this world for glory. Yet, his memory remains alive in my heart, and his words, shared through social media, still speak powerfully to me today.

Truly, we will all be remembered by the legacy we leave behind: both the good and the bad.

May our lives matter, for the Kingdom of God and for the betterment of humanity.

Keep resting, my Reverend. You ran your race and played your part so well. 🙏🙏🙏

Governor Kim Reynolds vetoed a bill that would have increased restrictions on the use of eminent domain for hazardous liquid pipelines. Reynolds argued the bill threatened Iowa’s energy reliability and economy. She said the legislation would have blocked pipeline projects relying on voluntary landowner agreements, not just those using eminent domain. Reynolds committed to working with lawmakers to protect landowner rights but rejected House File 639 as written. House Speaker Pat Grassley urged members to override the veto, while Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver supported the governor’s decision

Governor Kim Reynolds vetoed a bill that would have increased restrictions on the use of eminent domain for hazardous liquid pipelines. Reynolds argued the bill threatened Iowa’s energy reliability and economy. She said the legislation would have blocked pipeline projects relying on voluntary landowner agreements, not just those using eminent domain. Reynolds committed to working with lawmakers to protect landowner rights but rejected House File 639 as written. House Speaker Pat Grassley urged members to override the veto, while Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver supported the governor’s decision

Kim Reynolds rejected a bill proposed to required increased Limitations on Authorities exercise eminent domain to obtain property for transporting hazardous liquids. pipeline projects. Reynolds argued the bill threatened Iowa’s energy reliability and economy. She said the legislation would have blocked pipeline projects relying on voluntary landowner agreements, not just those using eminent domain. Reynolds committed to working with lawmakers to protect landowner rights but rejected House File 639 as written. House Speaker Pat Grassley urged members to override the veto, while The Majority Leader of the Senate, Jack Whitver supported the governor’s decision

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2025-W19&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/19|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation has shared the latest draft update to their [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|annual plan]] for next year (July 2025–June 2026). This includes an [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|executive summary]] (also on [[diffblog:2025/04/25/sharing-the-wikimedia-foundations-2025-2026-draft-annual-plan/|Diff]]), details about the three main [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals|goals]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|Infrastructure]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Volunteer Support|Volunteer Support]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Effectiveness|Effectiveness]]), [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Global Trends|global trends]], and the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Budget Overview|budget]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Financial Model|financial model]]. Feedback and questions are welcome on the [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026|talk page]] until the end of May.

'''Updates for editors'''
* For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released:
** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;Intl&lt;/code&gt; library or the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.DateFormatter&lt;/code&gt; library. The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]].
* Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (&lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;wbt_*&lt;/code&gt;) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.44/wmf.28|MediaWiki]]

'''In depth'''
* The latest [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|Chart Project newsletter]] is available. It includes updates on preparing to expand the deployment to additional wikis as soon as this week (starting May 6) and scaling up over the following weeks, plus exploring filtering and transforming source data.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/20|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|&quot;Get shortened URL&quot;]] link on the sidebar now includes a [[phab:T393309|QR code]]. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]], which will enable [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[w:en:Denial-of-service attack|distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/16|previously written about this]]. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the [[m:Talk:Edge Uniques|talk page]].
* Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] enabled can use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents]].
* The Wikipedia project now has a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q36720|Nupe]] ([[w:nup:|&lt;code&gt;w:nup:&lt;/code&gt;]]). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to [[w:nup:Tatacin feregi|new Wikipedia]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers can now access pre-parsed Dutch Wikipedia, amongst others (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) through the [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/docs/snapshot/#structured-contents-snapshot-bundle-info-beta Structured Contents snapshots (beta)]. The content includes parsed Wikipedia abstracts, descriptions, main images, infoboxes, article sections, and references.
* The &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;/page/data-parsoid&lt;/code&gt; REST API endpoint is no longer in use and will be deprecated. It is [[phab:T393557|scheduled to be turned off]] on June 7, 2025.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.1|MediaWiki]]

'''In depth'''
* The [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/2025_Cloud_VPS_VXLAN_IPv6_migration IPv6 support] is a newly introduced Cloud virtual network that significantly boosts Wikimedia platforms' scalability, security, and readiness for the future. If you are a technical contributor eager to learn more, check out [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2025/05/06/wikimedia-cloud-vps-ipv6-support/ this blog post] for an in-depth look at the journey to IPv6.

|| {{done|Good}}. These are two different news sources that wrote about the same event in different words and with different content. You may still wish to get more information if something is missing or incomplete. You may also use [[WN:OR|original reporting]].
- A report is published on Foxnews and on Aljazeera, both have &quot;AP&quot; as the author name, and the content is identical word to word. 
|| {{not done|Not independent}}. You need to find another source about the event. You may also use [[WN:OR|original reporting]].
- BBC has a report about a volcano eruption.
|| {{not done|Only one source}}. Check local weather or rescue organisation for a news release about the event, or local news media. You may also use [[WN:OR|original reporting]].
- Someone wrote a message at Facebook about stunning performance of their favourite singer in a capital city.
|| {{not done|Only one source}}. Find someone else who reported the event. You may also use [[WN:OR|original reporting]].
