=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (37 page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

==== Comments and Votes ====
*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:
:
:* [[New cave opens to the public in Indiana]] Retracted for being published while stale
:* [[North Korea launches "early-stage" hypersonic missile]] Retracted because reviewer added a source
:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".
:
: I propose the following retraction statement:
: <blockquote>This article has been retracted because a post-publication review identified multiple policy and guideline failures, including plagiarism, unsupported and misattributed statements, sourcing gaps, attribution problems, and style compliance issues. The cumulative scope of these problems made reliable post-publication correction impractical.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead|&oldid=4981005}} here]</span>.</blockquote>[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 15:09, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (37 page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

:{{remove}} I kind of knew this was inevitable. But for what its worth, the 37 page views only apply to the most recent page move. The article has been read more than that. But I support retraction due to the fact that the project's policies were pretty blatantly ignored with the article's pibublication in its current state.

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:

:* [[North Korea launches "early-stage" hypersonic missile]] Retracted because reviewer added a source
:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (37 page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:

:* [[North Korea launches "early-stage" hypersonic missile]] Retracted because reviewer added a source
:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (<del>37</del> <ins>1,000</ins> page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_for_inciting_hatred_towards_homosexuals%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_characterizing_homosexuality_as_a_disease%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_humanity_in_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_religious_leaders_of_inciting_crimes_against_humanity%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_a_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:

:* [[North Korea launches "early-stage" hypersonic missile]] Retracted because reviewer added a source
:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (<del>37</del> <ins>1,000</ins> page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_for_inciting_hatred_towards_homosexuals%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_characterizing_homosexuality_as_a_disease%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_humanity_in_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_religious_leaders_of_inciting_crimes_against_humanity%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_a_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:

:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (<del>37</del> <ins>1,000</ins> page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_for_inciting_hatred_towards_homosexuals%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_characterizing_homosexuality_as_a_disease%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_humanity_in_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_religious_leaders_of_inciting_crimes_against_humanity%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_a_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:

:* [[North Korea launches "early-stage" hypersonic missile]] Retracted because reviewer added a source
:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (<del>37</del> <ins>1,000</ins> page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_for_inciting_hatred_towards_homosexuals%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_characterizing_homosexuality_as_a_disease%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_humanity_in_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_religious_leaders_of_inciting_crimes_against_humanity%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_a_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

=== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ===
{{Ping|Gryllida|Lofi Gurl|Justthefacts|Loytra|Metropolitan90|BigKrow}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
Based on the issues identified below, I propose the article be retracted by blanking it and issuing a retraction statement.
The article is not compliant with [[WN:NPOV]] due to significant issues with accuracy, attribution, and synthesis. The most serious issue is the mischaracterization of the offense, which undermines the reliability of the entire piece.
Notably, the claim that the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' was raised on the talk page prior to publication. Despite this, the publishing reviewer stated the concerns had been “satisfactorily addressed.” This is not reflected in the published article, which retained the incorrect characterization throughout. Later attempts to fix this were also ineffective; the headline was changed to “inciting hatred against gays and lesbians,” which is likewise incorrect, as the offense under Finnish law is ''incitement against a group''. This reflects a failure to resolve a known issue during review and after publication.
Examples of issues include:
* Incorrectly stating the defendants were convicted of ''crimes against humanity'' rather than the relevant offense under Finnish law (incitement against a group)
* Presenting analysis as fact (e.g., claiming the ruling is a “significant precedent” without attribution)
* Using un-attributed evaluative language such as “false claims” and “global scientific consensus”
* Framing legal and societal implications in a broad, interpretive manner without sourcing
* Internal inconsistency between the stated offense and the described conduct and penalties
There were also multiple unsighted changes, including headline moves. Due to a limitation in FlaggedRevs, page moves cannot be selectively rejected, which leads to inconsistent outcomes when reviewing mixed edits. In approving the moves, unrelated changes were also approved. These should have been rejected, as approving such changes post-publication is not standard practice and does not comply with policy.
Numerous post-publication edits attempted to correct the article, including multiple headline changes. The core issue—mischaracterization of the offense—remained unresolved, indicating a structural problem rather than an isolated error. Correction is therefore not feasible, and retraction is the more appropriate course of action.
Additionally, the article was explicitly published stale, contrary to [[WN:Freshness]], and was not included among the Main Page lead articles. It has received minimal readership (<del>37</del> <ins>1,000</ins> page views since publication[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikinews.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-09&pages=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_for_inciting_hatred_towards_homosexuals%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_authors_of_pamplet_characterizing_homosexuality_as_a_disease%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_humanity_in_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_religious_leaders_of_inciting_crimes_against_humanity%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_a_landmark_ruling%7CSupreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_individuals_and_institutions_involved_in_writing_and_publishing_pamphlet_for_inciting_hatred_against_gays_and_lesbians]), further supporting retraction as a low-impact corrective measure.
Proposed retraction statement:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted due to significant inaccuracies and failure to comply with Wikinews neutrality and verification standards. The article mischaracterized the nature of the convictions described, including incorrectly stating that the defendants were found guilty of ''crimes against humanity''. Additional issues included un-attributed analysis presented as fact and unsupported interpretive claims. Due to the extent of these issues, the article does not meet the standards required for publication and has been withdrawn in its entirety.</blockquote>

=== [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] ===
{{Ping|New mayo|Metropolitan90|Wikiwide|Gryllida}} notifying article contributors for awareness only.
I propose this article be retracted due to multiple failures to comply with [[WN:Plagiarism]] (proposed guideline), [[WN:CS]] (policy), [[WN:NPOV]] (policy), and [[WN:MOS]] (guideline). Taken together, these issues are sufficiently extensive that post-publication correction is not practical.
These problems were identified during the archival process. In light of [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Gryllida-20260111133600-Tduk-20260110041300|the reviewer’s previously stated position]] regarding the scope of their reviews, this case raises concerns about whether the review performed met the expectations outlined in policy.
The following statement <del>is</del> <ins>was</ins> [[WN:Plagiarism|plagiarism]]. It is not detected by Earwig, which I believe will not scan ''Reuters'' due to their Robots.txt directive. The text can be found by a manual search. It could be fixed even post-archive if it was the only issue. <ins>This statement was removed and a note placed on the article.[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Turkish_military_transport_plane_crashes_near_Georgia_border,_20_dead&diff=prev&oldid=4981005]</ins>
* "57 years old and had entered the Turkish Air Force in 2010."
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources, but verifiable elsewhere:
* tail number 68-1609 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
* departed at 14:19 [https://aeropeep.com/turkish-air-force-c130-6801609-crash-latest-findings/ verifiable]
The following statements are unsupported by the listed sources:
* "that has been compared by ''[[Reuters]]''" Reuters didn't compare the two, only mentioned it as background.
* "seen with a smoking engine descending in a flat spin" ''Reuters'' reports eyewitness accounts of fire, not smoke
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later" Author's analysis maybe?
* "27 minutes after takeoff" Author's analysis maybe?
* "According to Georgian authorities and Turkish officials"
* "by November 13"
* "By November 14, Turkish and Georgian officials continued joint inquiries."
* "and support" NATO Secretary General expressed ''his'' condolences. No source supports the statement that ''NATO'' offered support or expressed condolences.
The following are style guide issues:
* "The cause of the crash remains under investigation" (present tense)
* "but investigations are ongoing..." (present tense)
* "Georgian authorities confirmed the wreckage was found near the border region." exact same sentence in lede, not an SG issue per-se, but should have been caught
Attribution: There are too many phrases to include here. Below are a few examples:
* "killing all 20 military personnel on board"
* "vanished from radars 27 minutes later"
* "the wreckage was found near the border region"
* "all soldiers were killed"
* "communication was lost"
* "the remains of the military personnel ... were recovered by November 13"
* "the flight recorder (black box) was recovered"
* "the cause of the crash remains under investigation"
* "the cause of the crash remains undetermined"

*{{keep}} My note is that the proposed level of scrutiny is too high. Articles written at the site are going to inevitably have issues and not be perfect if someone puts a few hours to check each letter. I do not see any of the above issues sufficiently major to require a retraction. If there is something that actually '''misinforms the reader about what happened''', then it may be included in a correction. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: Wikinews [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archival policy]] limits post-publication changes to narrowly scoped factual corrections with documentation. The issues raised in this proposal extend beyond isolated factual errors and include attribution, sourcing, and structural compliance problems, which are not ordinarily addressed through post-archival edits. This is why retraction is being proposed rather than incremental correction.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
*{{keep}}{{neutral}}{{comment}} While on the first glance I couldn't find "smok" in the text of the sources, I haven't re-read them yet. Both Al-Jazeera and Independent clearly show, in video and photograph, that the falling airplane emitted plenty of smoke even before crashing into the ground; whether it was smoking engine, smoking wing, or smoking door, I cannot say right now, I am not an airplane expert, but it was not a cigarette. I don't like the idea of removing a piece of text just because it is plagiarism; re-phrasing would be preferable, so that information would not be lost. If Reuters has such a hostile robots.txt, then some tool, Earwig or whatever else, should alert the contributors against usage of such sources - forcing humans to do Earwig job manually is not sustainable. As it is, I cannot be certain that your points about lack of attribution are valid - information had to have come from somewhere, it just needs to be found where it came from. Will re-read later. [[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] ([[User talk:Wikiwide|talk]]) 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
*: To clarify; the video and photographs showing smoke are of the Turkish C-130 crash itself. However, the “smoking engine descending in a flat spin” description originates from Reuters’ background reference to a separate, 2017 US Marine Corps KC-130 accident, not from reporting on this incident.
:: Even if the smoking engine statement was about the Turkish crash, for which there is video, Wikinews policy does not permit editors to analyze or speculate. As stated in the neutrality policy, contributors must avoid analysis and speculative interpretation unless explicitly attributed to qualified sources. In this case, we have reporting that sufficiently describes the scene without our interpretation or analysis. The change was not necessary.
:: Lastly, while the 'smoke' wording would be a minor issue in isolation, it reflects a broader pattern in this article involving unsupported claims, attribution gaps, and style guide issues that should have been fixed during pre-publication review. The retraction proposal is based on the cumulative impact of these issues rather than any single descriptive detail.
:: The plagiarism has already been removed as a priority along with placing a reader-facing note for transparency.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
* {{Remove}} (retract with statement and blanking article) There is precedent for retracting articles with fewer issues and also specifically for inadequate reviews. For example:

:* [[North Korea launches "early-stage" hypersonic missile]] Retracted because reviewer added a source
:* [[Wikinews interviews Chiaki Hayashi, Asian Projects Coordinator at Creative Commons]] Retracted due to poor interview process and for "'''inadequate and incompetent review of the article'''".
:
: I propose the following retraction statement:
: <blockquote>This article has been retracted because a post-publication review identified multiple policy and guideline failures, including plagiarism, unsupported and misattributed statements, sourcing gaps, attribution problems, and style compliance issues.

=== [[Flash flooding, landslides in Pakistan leave hundreds dead]] ===
{{flag}}
This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."
* "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused '''one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region'''..."
* "...amid '''worsening''' weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which [[WN:ARCHIVE]] prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
As stated by the original author, the article was mostly written by AI. According to [[WN:AI]] (a proposed guideline), "Wikinews articles must always reflect human-reviewed accuracy, neutrality, and verification of sources."
Given the issues with [[WN:NPOV]], [[WN:Source]], and [[WN:AI]], I propose this article be retracted.
==== Comments ====
* {{comment}} If consensus is to remove the article, I propose the addition of the following retraction statement and a blanking of the article:
<blockquote>This article has been retracted because it failed to comply with our [[WN:CS|sourcing policy]], [[WN:NPOV|neutrality policy]] and recommended guidance for AI/LLM use.<br>The last version of the article text can be found <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Environmental protest in Indonesia denounces Australia's plastic waste exports|&oldid=4878116}} here]</span>.</blockquote>

Hi folks, I and my fellow Miraheze representative (@RhinosF1) are still unable to respond to any inquiries on [[Wikinews_talk:Migration]], with any action taken now hitting the Abuse filter restriction labeled as Bot Attack Filter.

: {{tq|could the admins make sure that the Newsroom is cleared out by the last day}}
: Yes. I am working through as much of the archival work as I can. At present, I am not aware of any other administrator undertaking similar efforts. I have reached out to one administrator who has left a number of incomplete changes, but they appear to have disengaged. Given that, I am focusing on what can reasonably be addressed without taking on additional cleanup beyond routine, shutting-things-down-type work.
: There are some things the 'crats typically need to do and I've pinged them in some cases to close discussions such as requests for permissions. As we get closer to D-Day, if nothing is done, I'll close more things down myself if necessary.
: Regarding the incorrectly flagged articles, one major issue is the absence of a documented procedure for retracting articles, particularly in relation to [[:Category:No publish]]. A practical short-term fix would be to include all retracted stories in that category, or alternatively disable the DPL as the project winds down (DPL would likely be disabled as part of the mothballing process anyway).
: That approach would leave the record as-is, including its shortcomings. At minimum, it preserves a complete account of how these issues were or were not handled, which may be of value to anyone reviewing the project in the future.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 01:36, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

* It is possible to "install" it to android home screen.
* Draft is saved immediately without annoying prompts "saved to local storage"
* main purpose is comfort for android users with unstable internet
WfW = writer for Wikinews
( Previous version was here https://gryllida.neocities.org/news/writer/v3/index-3.html had progress bar and check list )

::Side note, this app is a lot more ''responsive'' than the wiki, if that is the correct word. It loads instantly (compare with 2 seconds for edit mode to open on a 1GBps link, and after saving the page 2 seconds to go to read mode and another 2 seconds to edit mode. There are gadget to 'save and keep editing' but if internet died or browser crashed then the work may be lost, and the page may lag when typing or when scrolling the text, both on laptop and on mobile). It helped me succeed in writing 5-6 stories this week. I think it works on Android as well as iOS. I am not sure what to do with it next... currently it is just an interactive notepad, it is completely disconnected from the wiki... I am hoping you have some ideas, I would be happy to add them.

== Bug report for ezpr2 pre review: missing user comms ==
The pre review, I tested it out on one page, it does not notify the page contributors like a full review does. Perhaps it should somehow, at least in Echo, if not the users' talk pages? [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:36, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
:The pre-review is not part of EzPR25; it comes under the SubmitWizard. At the time when pre-review was added to the SubmitWizard, the practice of pre-reviewing was quite limited. But yes, I will add an option to automatically ping users on pre review interface. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 13:03, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::Also, related, it would be great if I could comment on a draft on its talk page and @mention all the contributors (with tick boxes nexr to nicks). In enwp draft review their software has a button to comment on the draft without doing a review, though theirs is more primitive and useless.

:::I was a bit busy IRL for the past three days, so there hasn't been much progress since my last comment, although a little work has been done. Thank you for your interest in collaboratively developing/coding the scripts. But, I honestly don't have a very structured plan for developing them. I usually have a rough plan in my mind and in my notes, and then start developing. So I am not sure if there is any specific place where I can point to collaborate right now. I know that's not an ideal practice, but I am working on organizing my development process a bit more. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 13:11, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

== The lead articles need to be changed ==

*[[US president Donald Trump demands the unconditional surrender of Iran]]
*[[NSW government proposes rezoning to create residences midway between Sydney and Parramatta]]
*[[PM of Australia sends E-7A Wedgetail and air-to-air missiles to UAE]]
*[[Former Major League Baseball pitcher Julio Teherán retires]]
This problem is getting worse than it was a few days ago. If there is a tool such as Lead Manager that solves this problem, it needs to be required. Any tools for changing the front page headlines that don't deal with this problem correctly should be deleted so that whoever does this sort of thing will have to use the correct tool. ----[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 13:11, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
: Thank you for keeping an eye on it. I’ve updated the five leads.
: This likely reflects the current mix of reviewers rather than a tooling issue. We have one brand-new reviewer and another returning after a long break, during which a few tools—such as Lead Manager—were added. It’s easy to overlook the final publish step after reviewing, and once the five leads fall out of order it takes a little work to sort them again.
: For now it probably just means keeping an eye on it and helping everyone get comfortable with the newer tools and processes.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 13:29, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== Ezpr2 bug with empty custom message ==
Issue: .... then, i clicked submit, and the story published. I left weird looking messages to users: they included template, one user was addressed by name and others were addressed as "User".
Proposed fix: I think if i specified custom message but did not fill it in, i should get asked to fill it in before submitting my review. (Also, in edit summary to user talk page, the section name should be included so i can click it in edit history page, and go directly to that section.)
Hope it makes sense...

:@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: The issue with the {{{user}}} parameter showing as resolved has been fixed. I recently made some modifications to the notification system, and I guess I introduced that bug during the process. Sorry about that.
:Regarding the template being used when the custom comment is empty: that was intentional, as otherwise an empty section would be created on the user's talk page.

== "Incorrectly flagged articles" ==
At [[Wikinews:Newsroom]], there is a section labeled "Incorrectly flagged articles". This section appears to be a mess. There are four retracted older articles in there, which are supposedly "incorrectly" flagged, but it is unknown what was incorrect about the flagging of those articles. Two of those articles are from 2013, one from 2021, and the other from 2025, so if anything is supposed to be done about them, it should be done already.
However, the fifth article is [[Two Cuba-bound aid boats located by Mexican Navy after going missing]], an article which is currently {{tl|under review}}. It hasn't been "flagged" either correctly or incorrectly but is being reviewed. It ought to be listed in the "Submitted for peer review" section (where it does not currently appear) and omitted from "Incorrectly flagged articles".
I asked a somewhat similar question at [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous/archives/2025/October]] but the problem doesn't appear to have been resolved. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 03:05, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
: In the case of the article [[Two Cuba-bound aid boats located by Mexican Navy after going missing]], it has been marked stable ("flagged" in FlaggedRevs) in error, before being published. This can happen if a reviewer "sights" or approves changes before the article is published, which is relatively easy to accidentally do. [[User:Bawolff/sandbox/powerFlag]] no longer seems to work to de-flag articles in FlaggedRevs. But that article should disappear from the list once it's published or deleted as abandoned.
: The other issue is a lack of consensus or documentation on exactly how to retract an article.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 07:02, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
: I started [[Wikinews:Retraction policy]] in January in an attempt to get the process documented. I haven't officially proposed it yet. Input is welcome at the [[Wikinews talk:Retraction policy|talk page]].[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 07:32, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 17:09, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

: @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] is correct. The page protection follows standard [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]] to preserve the article as a snapshot in time. Articles are not intended to be continuously updated and instead should be complete at publication. In this case, however, a full review was not conducted and significant issues were not resolved prior to publication, requiring post-publication correction.
: The publishing reviewer appears to be [[User talk:Gryllida#c-Gryllida-20260406231200-Michael.C.Wright-20260406125900|checked out]] of the project. I would still prefer to allow time for them to respond before taking further action. They tend to keep an eye on this page and may yet weigh in either here or at the [[Wikinews:Deletion requests#Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians|retraction request]].[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 01:11, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

== I'm sorry for everything ==
Yo. I probably could have taken my user interactions more seriously during my time contributing to this project. For that I apologize. I know I've been a dick at various times on here and I'm sorry for that too. It looks like this is it -- I'm looking at Recent Changes and I'm seeing all sorts of "wind-down" activities, and I'm kinda choking up. It's really over. But, it's going to be okay. We wrote dozens and dozens of articles for this project during its waning years and for that I think we should be extremely proud. I'm not sure what my online life holds in store for me in the future, probably Wikipedia and YouTube and maybe Twitch again. Hope I'll see you around on other WMF projects!

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.
News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.
Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.
I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.
Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.
'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''
Thanks a lot.

== 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.

== 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.<br>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.<br>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 <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki> 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 "policy" before the quote marks?
* The article needs rrnaming. I suggest: "Ukraine allowed to strike Russian territory near Kharkiv with US weapons".
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|<sub>24</sub>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|<sub>24</sub>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. 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 "recent changes" page constantly. Some others refresh "Newsroom" 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 "Subscribe" 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)

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 <u>5 sources at the bottom of the page</u>'''.

== 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. :-)

== 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 "dude wtf you're late" and I just wanted to be like "oh my fucking god dude." Sorry for the "shock image" 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 "don't get married to your article" 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)

Hi, Bigkrow, just looking for friends in wikis you know, having friends you can chart with if you have a problem, any thing or something. Anyway nothing useful and just use {{[[CURRENTDAYNAME]]}} {{[[CURRENTDAY]]}} {{[[CURRENTMONTHNAME]]}} {{[[CURRENTYEAR]]}}; {{[[CURRENTTIME]]}} UTC, don't worry bout the links just copy the trick. You know I'm crazy, telling someone with 1 year of experience Vs me with 23 days of experience. Anyway let's be friends.

== 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&diff=prev&oldid=4858559
> 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 ">" before, or enclose in single quotation marks twice to indicate it was pasted, or write "Pasted: " 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 "pasted" 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.

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)
Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:59, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and could make collaboration much easier. Thanks [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:01, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Before that you marked article about a recent event, that was written the next day after it occured, as stale. Why? Are you sure you are right? [[User:BilboBeggins|BilboBeggins]] ([[User talk:BilboBeggins|talk]]) 21:51, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

: This is a reply to no one in particular, just to the topic in general.
: The WMF has announced no decision and taken no action yet. The state of en.WN is the result of what contributors here have chosen to do or not to do. We all have the choice to continue volunteering our time as we see fit, or to walk away. The project is impacted either way.
: For the first time since June we had three reviewers who [[Wikinews:2025 Boost publication rate/November pub-rate report|published articles in November]].

Regarding the article now titled [[Nick Reiner charged with murder of parents' deaths]], I believe this title is ungrammatical again. One could say "Nick Reiner charged with murder '''in''' parents' deaths", or "Nick Reiner charged with murder '''for''' parents' deaths", or "Nick Reiner charged with murder of parents", but not the current version, which implies that he is accused of killing his parents' ''deaths''. I already changed this title once previously (because "debited" is only a synonym of "charged" when talking about money or accounting, not when talking about crime), so I'm not going to change it again right now, but the current title is unsatisfactory. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 09:44, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

2. Text includes some analysis words such as "lots of", "many", "extremely likely", "most people". This should be replaced with something more precise, or attributed. [[WN:Attribution]]

Hello,
This message is being sent to you as you contributed to the article at some point.
For your reference, as a part of my review, the article required several minor edits. Some of these changes may be related to your edits, while others may be related to edits made by other users. The list of minor edits is provided below.
1) The more recent/current information about health and return to work of firefighters was brought upwards to second paragraph [[WN:IP|inverted pyramid]]
2) That sentence was edited for past tense.
3) Fresh source was listed at top of the list.
4) Request was made off-wiki to add a verb to the headline. This worked amazingly well.
5) A paragraph was reworded as it was too close to plagiarising a source.
6) Acronyms were removed as they were not used throughout the rest of the page.
Please keep these in mind when writing or revising articles in future. And, thank you for creating and revising this article, it is interesting that there was additional explosion; I hope there will be an update when the cause will be identified.
Have a great day. -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:27, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
== Published: [[Domestic call in Rochester, New York leads to three police officers being shot]] (December 26) ==
Hello,
This message is being sent to you as you contributed to the article at some point.
The article was published. Congratulations.
For your reference, as a part of my review, the article required several minor edits. Some of these changes may be related to your edits, while others may be related to edits made by other users. The list of minor edits is provided below.
1) Specified date in first paragraph more clearly, as it is a Friday today, my local time anyway, but event was last week.
2) Cleaned up a messy paragraph at the end of the page
The following review comments were added:
1) The article presents a nearly stale event on Dec19 which was written up on Dec21 and submitted for review on Dec24. <mark>Please do not delay submitting for review. Please submit for review as early as possible. THIS IS IMPORTANT.</mark>
2) The article contains the following paragraph:
''Officers responded to a 911 call around 10:15 p.m. after a man reported that his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend was attempting to break into her home and might have a gun ��. When officers arrived and located Davis at the side of the house, he immediately pulled out a handgun and opened fire at close range, striking two officers and the 911 caller ��. One officer was shot multiple times in the upper body but was protected by his ballistic vest and sustained non-life-threatening injuries, while the second officer was shot in the upper body and required surgery, leaving him in critical but stable condition ��.Davis fled the scene and was found minutes later at the intersection of Arnett Boulevard and Thurston Road �. When ordered to stop by a third officer, Davis opened fire again, shooting the officer once in the upper body ��. That officer and others returned fire, striking Davis multiple times and killing him at the scene ��.Casualties and ConditionsAll three wounded officers were treated at Strong Memorial Hospital and received life-saving treatment �. The 911 caller, who had exchanged gunfire with Davis and was shot multiple times, was also hospitalized in serious but non-life-threatening condition ��. Police Chief David Smith noted that each of the injured officers had fewer than 10 years on the force �.Background on the SuspectDavis had an active arrest warrant for aggravated harassment from an October incident and had previously threatened the victim in July, telling her he would "put a bullet in her head," which led to her obtaining an order of protection �. He was convicted of third-degree burglary in 2005 and was illegally possessing a .40-caliber Glock handgun at the time of the shooting, which he fired until it was empty �. Rochester Mayor Malik Evans called the incident "people's Exhibit A on what domestic violence can do," noting that the police department receives more than 6,000 domestic violence calls annually ��.''
This is garbage because:
a) It is too long
b) it has " ��" in between sentences
c) It has incomplete sentences like "Background on the SuspectDavis had an active arrest warrant ..."
<mark>Please do not submit crappy paragraphs for review. This delays publishing. The only thing a reviewer can do is delete the whole paragraph, or clean it up; which is time consuming and disrespectful because you could have done the same too before submitting article for review and because it is not publishable in current form. PLEASE ONLY SUBMIT COMPLETED ARTICLES. THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.</mark>

The article has been published. Congratulations.
The following edits were made by reviewer:
1) Article body written in past tense
2) External links moved to a section called 'External links'
3) Rearranged to specify the date in the first paragraph, see [[WN:IP|inverted pyramid]]
Please keep these comments in mind when writing or editing articles in the future.
The following notes were left by reviewer:
1) The previous review raised concern about bias in words such as 'many' in 'many commenters' or 'illegal in many ways', it was disappointing that this was not addressed at time of submitting for review.
2) Article was written on time and submitted on Dec22, which is not excellent for a Dec19 event, but is good. It is on the edge of being stale now, as is is already Dec25, and I am making the decision to pass.
3) Please write article about what happened, whether the rename was approved by authorities. Has there been any recent updates?
Please consider revising more thoroughly before re-submitting for review; writing up a story and submitting for review sooner and closer to the event date; and also consider writing a article about updates, if any updates were available, immediately after these updates occurred.
Many thanks. -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:47, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Rewrite is requested:
1) Please specify date, and time zone, in first paragraph.
2) New York Times source is paywalled. Please remove it along with any information from it. If you wish to keep that information, please find another source for it.
3) Some sentences may require attribution. I was shocked to read the phrase " conspiracy to commit narco‐terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine". Is it official accusation? The 'narco-terrorism' is a new word for me. If it was official accusation, then maybe it could be either wikilinked or taken into quotation marks.
4) Article body needs to be written in past tense.
5) Phrases like 'where Maduro was suspected to be located' and 'seizure of several oil tankers' are plagiarised and need to be written in your own words, if Earwig is to be believed.
6) Please double-check the chronology of writing corresponds to [[WN:IP|inverted pyramid]] to reduce revision required by reviewer at time of approval.

2. please separate the article into separate paragraphs see [[WN:IP]]
3. specify country in first paragraph
4. remove repeating sentences for example "A late-night crash happened with a Pittsburgh police officer." and "A Pittsburgh police officer was injured in a single‑vehicle crash" are similar in meaning there is no need to say the same thing twice. similarly "crash '''occurred shortly after midnight'''. A Pittsburgh police officer was injured in a single‑vehicle crash '''just after midnight''' " there is no need to say it twice. please check it yourself by proofreading the text and ensuring it is not duplicated.
5. remove words like "and was taken to a hospital in stable condition '''What happened'''The crash occurred early Monday morning (around midnight) at the intersection of Arlington Avenue and Josephine Street"
please fix these issues and re-submit for review

Hi, I'm letting you know that I filed a report with the global sysops at Meta. They can barely intervene in Wikinews without local sysops. Because of this action, [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q137842979&action=history half of the interwikis have disappeared].
For the other half, I've proceeded with {{tl|delete}} at those where there haven't been any edits unrelated to multi-accounting.

:Background An 18-year-old Roblox speedrunner named Quinten Delaere (also known online as kannotlogin) was competing in an official Guinness World Records-linked speedrun event on the Roblox game Ultimate Easy Obby. The challenge was to finish the obstacle course as fast as possible. �
:Wikinews
:🚩 Fraudulent Records Appeared After hours of practice, Quinten set a fast time of 5:48.96 — which he believed should be the record. However, just before the event deadline, three other accounts suddenly posted times about six seconds faster, an improvement that was mathematically impossible under normal gameplay for a run that already had “optimized every corner and jump.” �
:Wikinews
:🔍 Investigation and Evidence Rather than accepting defeat, Quinten launched a detailed investigation into the suspicious runs. His findings included: �
:Wikinews
:Impossible badge timestamps: Some accounts unlocked badges out of logical order, suggesting teleports or hacks. �
:Wikinews
:Missing game-verified indicators: Legitimate runs automatically award a special Guinness World Record gold medal accessory — the suspicious accounts lacked it. �
:Wikinews
:Expired/inconsistent inventory items: Some accounts held items that shouldn’t have been attainable then, hinting at script-enabled unlocks. �
:Wikinews
:Video and frame-by-frame analysis: Quinten calculated theoretical minimum times based on physics and showed the suspect runs were too fast to be real. �
:Wikinews
:🏆 Guinness Reinstates the True Record Armed with this technical evidence, Quinten submitted a report to Guinness World Records. After reviewing it internally, Guinness disqualified the fraudulent times and officially validated Quinten’s run as the true world record, awarding him the certificate. �
:Wikinews
:🎮 Significance This story highlights how a dedicated player used data analysis and meticulous investigation to hold others accountable for cheating and help a major record-keeping organization correct its listings — showing that even in gaming communities, evidence and integrity can make a difference. �
:Wikinews
:If you want more details on how Quinten proved the fraud mathematically or what skills he used, I can break that down too! [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 13:14, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Upon reconsideration, I am undoing my earlier OR assessment; authorship alone does not constitute original research, and the article does not introduce facts beyond what independent sources report.
Despite being written by the subject, the article is not promotional because it reports only independently published information, clearly attributes assertions, and avoids advocacy or exaggeration, making it a COI-sensitive but policy-compliant synthesis article.

You're right to be skeptical. Looking at the search results more critically, the information does have a promotional quality to it - it reads like polished PR content rather than independent coverage. The sources appear to be press releases or promotional articles rather than investigative journalism.

== My 2 cents ==
Yes, the Chinese edition of Wikinews also received a machine-translated submission, which was published after being manually revised locally. That approach was not entirely appropriate; however, when discussing whether there are issues with the article, it would be better to focus on the content of the article itself.
Personally, I don't really believe that “one must not write one’s own article” is an absolute principle. As I mentioned, if there is nothing wrong with the article itself, then at most an appropriate disclosure of interest should be required.
I am not familiar with the subject matter of the article or the relevant community context, but at present it appears to have sources and substantive content, and its news value seems acceptable (albeit niche). Of course, any improper conduct on the part of the author should be addressed separately.
It probably shouldn’t be subject to speedy deletion. Awaiting the outcome of the discussion… (after all, there are many participants in this discussion, so zhwn should be able to refer to it as well) ~ [[User:Sheminghui.WU|Sheminghui.WU]] ([[User talk:Sheminghui.WU|talk]]) 10:17, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:Well, the layout and writing style of this article are indeed a bit strange... but perhaps this is something worth reporting in this field?

:Background An 18-year-old Roblox speedrunner named Quinten Delaere (also known online as kannotlogin) was competing in an official Guinness World Records-linked speedrun event on the Roblox game Ultimate Easy Obby. The challenge was to finish the obstacle course as fast as possible. �
:Wikinews
:🚩 Fraudulent Records Appeared After hours of practice, Quinten set a fast time of 5:48.96 — which he believed should be the record. However, just before the event deadline, three other accounts suddenly posted times about six seconds faster, an improvement that was mathematically impossible under normal gameplay for a run that already had “optimized every corner and jump.” �
:Wikinews
:🔍 Investigation and Evidence Rather than accepting defeat, Quinten launched a detailed investigation into the suspicious runs. His findings included: �
:Wikinews
:Impossible badge timestamps: Some accounts unlocked badges out of logical order, suggesting teleports or hacks. �
:Wikinews
:Missing game-verified indicators: Legitimate runs automatically award a special Guinness World Record gold medal accessory — the suspicious accounts lacked it. �
:Wikinews
:Expired/inconsistent inventory items: Some accounts held items that shouldn’t have been attainable then, hinting at script-enabled unlocks. �
:Wikinews
:Video and frame-by-frame analysis: Quinten calculated theoretical minimum times based on physics and showed the suspect runs were too fast to be real. �
:Wikinews
:🏆 Guinness Reinstates the True Record Armed with this technical evidence, Quinten submitted a report to Guinness World Records. After reviewing it internally, Guinness disqualified the fraudulent times and officially validated Quinten’s run as the true world record, awarding him the certificate. �
:Wikinews
:🎮 Significance This story highlights how a dedicated player used data analysis and meticulous investigation to hold others accountable for cheating and help a major record-keeping organization correct its listings — showing that even in gaming communities, evidence and integrity can make a difference. �
:Wikinews
:If you want more details on how Quinten proved the fraud mathematically or what skills he used, I can break that down too! [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 13:14, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

== My 2 cents ==
Yes, the Chinese edition of Wikinews also received a machine-translated submission, which was published after being manually revised locally. That approach was not entirely appropriate; however, when discussing whether there are issues with the article, it would be better to focus on the content of the article itself.
Personally, I don't really believe that “one must not write one’s own article” is an absolute principle. As I mentioned, if there is nothing wrong with the article itself, then at most an appropriate disclosure of interest should be required.
I am not familiar with the subject matter of the article or the relevant community context, but at present it appears to have sources and substantive content, and its news value seems acceptable (albeit niche). Of course, any improper conduct on the part of the author should be addressed separately.

Rewrite is requested:
1) Update photo author and licence if the images were not photographed by the uploader. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
2) Edit to [[Special:MyPage]] by the article author to disclose the conflict of interest, if this is the case. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
3) Date is missing in two English language sources. I request that date is added into the first paragraph and is verified by at least two of the provided sources. See [[WN:IP]] for details of this requirement.

:Background An 18-year-old Roblox speedrunner named Quinten Delaere (also known online as kannotlogin) was competing in an official Guinness World Records-linked speedrun event on the Roblox game Ultimate Easy Obby. The challenge was to finish the obstacle course as fast as possible. �
:Wikinews
:🚩 Fraudulent Records Appeared After hours of practice, Quinten set a fast time of 5:48.96 — which he believed should be the record. However, just before the event deadline, three other accounts suddenly posted times about six seconds faster, an improvement that was mathematically impossible under normal gameplay for a run that already had “optimized every corner and jump.” �
:Wikinews
:🔍 Investigation and Evidence Rather than accepting defeat, Quinten launched a detailed investigation into the suspicious runs. His findings included: �
:Wikinews
:Impossible badge timestamps: Some accounts unlocked badges out of logical order, suggesting teleports or hacks. �
:Wikinews
:Missing game-verified indicators: Legitimate runs automatically award a special Guinness World Record gold medal accessory — the suspicious accounts lacked it. �
:Wikinews
:Expired/inconsistent inventory items: Some accounts held items that shouldn’t have been attainable then, hinting at script-enabled unlocks. �
:Wikinews
:Video and frame-by-frame analysis: Quinten calculated theoretical minimum times based on physics and showed the suspect runs were too fast to be real. �
:Wikinews
:🏆 Guinness Reinstates the True Record Armed with this technical evidence, Quinten submitted a report to Guinness World Records. After reviewing it internally, Guinness disqualified the fraudulent times and officially validated Quinten’s run as the true world record, awarding him the certificate. �
:Wikinews
:🎮 Significance This story highlights how a dedicated player used data analysis and meticulous investigation to hold others accountable for cheating and help a major record-keeping organization correct its listings — showing that even in gaming communities, evidence and integrity can make a difference. �
:Wikinews
:If you want more details on how Quinten proved the fraud mathematically or what skills he used, I can break that down too! [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 13:14, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

== Formal Declaration: COI and Original Reporting ==
Per the request of administrator @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], I am making this formal declaration to comply with Wikinews policies:
1. '''Conflict of Interest (COI):''' I, Quinten Delaere (User:Kannotlogin), declare that I am the subject of this article. I am the person who performed the speedrun and the forensic investigation described in the text.
2. '''Original Reporting (WN:OR):''' This article is submitted under the [[Wikinews:Original reporting|Original Reporting policy]]. I have direct access to the raw data, evidence, and correspondence with Guinness World Records. I am available to verify any details required by reviewers.
I have also added the {{tl|Original reporting}} template to the main article page. I will refrain from editing the article directly where possible to respect neutrality, and I will await reviewer guidance. [[User:Kannotlogin|Kannotlogin]] ([[User talk:Kannotlogin|talk]]) 14:38, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
: Thank you. Because you have identified yourself as a real person, we'll need to verify that. The easiest and fastest way is for you to send an email to Scoop@wn-reporters.org from an email address in your public domain quintendelaere.be identifying that Kannotlogin is Quinten Delaere.
: OR gets a bit of a break on [[WN:Freshness]] but not [[WN:Source]]. Any statement of fact in the article still needs to be verified. Since you are writing about yourself, we'll need to be incredibly transparent, accurate, and neutral in the article to avoid bias or the appearance of self-promotion.
: To that end, I strongly recommend you strip motive entirely from the article and report only verifiable actions and claims. For example, I would rewrite the entire third paragraph to something like the following: ''Delaere conducted a digital forensic analysis and compiled a report alleging that the new records were fraudulent. The report cited three technical points.''
: @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], please weigh in here if you disagree or have other advice.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 18:02, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you for the guidance regarding the Original Reporting policy.
::*I have sent the verification email to ''Scoop@wn-reporters.org'' from my domain address (@quintendelaere.be).
::*I have rewritten some parts of the article to strip all "motive" and strictly report verifiable actions and claims, using the exact phrasing you suggested for the third paragraph.
::*Regarding verification: I cross-referenced the facts in the article with the international sources listed (Kotaku [EN], PCGamesN [EN], JeuxVideo [FR], Meristation [ES], KW [NL]). While some additional sources were removed during previous suggestions by another user, the remaining sources should cover all the technical claims made in the text.

I removed two unsupported statements not related to the [[WN:5Ws]] that may have been supported by it. See the edit history for details.
Without a source supporting that date, the article is stale, per [[WN:Freshness]]. Three of the articles that assert Delaere is finally the official winner were dated [published] ''before'' January 7, implying the Jan. 7 date is incorrect.

[[File:CGI Mexico Flag.png|thumb|left|300px]]On Saturday, March 28, the Mexican navy announced that it was in radio communication with two sailboats transporting {{w|humanitarian aid}} to [[Cuba]] as part of the "Nuestra América Convoy". The boats were located by the Mexican navy after being reported missing.
The boats, known as ''Friend Ship'' and ''Tiger Moth'', left {{w|Isla Mujeres}}, near {{w|Cancun}}, in the Mexican state of {{w|Quintana Roo}}, on March 20 for a roughly 250-mile (400-km) crossing to Havana. The boats had at least nine people onboard, according to the Mexican navy. The boats were scheduled to arrive in Havana around Tuesday or Wednesday but did not do so.
The Mexican navy announced on Thursday, March 26, that they were engaged in a search and rescue operation for the missing boats.
A representative of the convoy stated that the crew members were safe and were continuing on their way to Havana, where they arrived on Saturday afternoon. The navy had lost contact with the boats due to bad weather.

{{LGBT}}
{{Date|April 6, 2026}}
In a landmark ruling on March 26, the {{w|Supreme Court of Finland}} convicted {{w|Päivi Räsänen}}, a member of the {{w|Christian Democrats (Finland)|Christian Democrats}} party in the {{w|Parliament of Finland}} and {{w|Juhana Pohjola}}, the bishop of the {{w|Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland}}, as well as the {{w|Luther Foundation of Finland}} and the {{w|Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland}} of {{w|crimes against humanity|crimes against the humanity}} of gays and lesbians. The defendants were convicted under the section of the {{w|Criminal Code of Finland}} concerning {{w|crimes against humanity}}, over a pamphlet written by Räsänen, edited by Pohjola, and published by the Luther Foundation and the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese that made claims about {{w|homosexuality|foreign=force}} that contradicted the consensus of the {{w|scientific community}}. The decision was a significant precedent with implications for future rulings pertaining to the legal intersection of {{w|freedom of speech|foreign=force}} and {{w|freedom of religion}} with {{w|hate speech}} and crimes against humanity as well as {{w|LGBT rights}} and {{w|human rights|foreign=force}} in {{w|liberal democracy|liberal democracies}}.
In the pamphlet, ''Male and Female He Created Them: Homosexual Relationships Challenge the Christian Concept of Humanity'', Räsänen argued her belief that homosexuality and {{w|Christianity|foreign=force}} are incompatible. She claimed that homosexuality was a "sexual abnormality" and a "developmental disorder", quoting verses from the {{w|Bible}} to support her argument. The court stated that these claims are contrary to the global {{w|scientific consensus}} that homosexuality is a natural and normal variation of {{w|human sexuality}}, not a disease or disorder. Upon closer examination, the court found that while the parts of the pamphlet were merely subjective religious opinions, other portions {{w|dehumanization|dehumanised}} gays and lesbians on the basis of their sexual orientation, constituting crimes against humanity.
The Supreme Court punished Räsänen and Pohjola with 20 day individual fines each that vary depending on individual income or approximately €1800 each, and the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese and the Luther Foundation with a corporate fine of €5000, with the latter entities also required take down the false claims. The Supreme Court dismissed a related charge against Räsänen over a post on {{w|X (social network)|X}} (then a {{w|Tweet (social media)|tweet}} on Twitter), that quoted a series of Bible verses, ''Romans 1:24–27'', to back her beliefs about {{w|same-sex relationship}}s, finding that it was merely a subjective religious opinion
The response to the ruling from Finnish politicians was mixed. The {{w|Prime Minister of Finland}}, {{w|Petteri Orpo}}, of the centre-right {{w|National Coalition Party}}, took a stand against political interference in the judiciary and stated that "politicians should not comment on court decisions". Those from Räsänen's Christian Democrats party and the right-wing {{w|Finns Party}} criticised the court's decision, with {{w|Riikka Purra}}, the {{w|Deputy Prime Minister of Finland}} posting on social media: "Freedom of speech took another serious hit today through the supreme court’s voting decision." Other politicians praised the decision, with opposition party leader, {{w|Sofia Virta}}, of the centre-left {{w|Green League}}, saying that "Finland is a country where people must not be labelled or mocked without consequence. Freedom of speech is important, but it comes with responsibility.".

== Headline question ==
I questioned the use of the term "crimes against humanity" in the headline and lead paragraph based on the following:
:I would note that one of the cited sources, [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/finnish-mp-paivi-rasanen-convicted-homosexuality-developmental-disorder this article from The Guardian], begins with the sentence, "A Finnish member of parliament has been found guilty by the country’s supreme court of inciting hatred after claiming that homosexuality was a 'developmental disorder', in a conviction that prompted criticism from far-right government ministers." That source doesn't even mention the term "crimes against humanity" at all. Another cited article from [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paivi-rasanen-homosexuality-supreme-court-finland-b2946208.html The Independent] doesn't mention "crimes against humanity", either. I am also concerned that the use of the term "{{w|crimes against humanity}}" may be considered misleading as to the nature of the charges involved notwithstanding how the term is used in the Finnish Criminal Code which few English Wikinews readers may be familiar with.
[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 01:16, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
:Hello, Metropolitan90! [[User_talk:Metropolitan90#c-Justthefacts-20260328005600-Regarding your move of my article|As I also noted in a message to you on your user talk page]], the actual charge, the actual crime, and the actual conviction all fall under the section of the {{w|Criminal Code of Finland}} that concerns {{w|crimes against humanity}}. Moreover, there is a particular focus from several sources on the fact that Räsänen and Pohjola were convicted under the section of the Criminal Code of Finland that concerns crimes against humanity. If there are any ambiguities at all, all will be resolved when readers read the article itself. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 01:37, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
::Two of the cited sources ([https://www.christiantoday.com/news/landmark-ruling-expected-in-finnish-politician-s-bible-tweet-case Christian Today], [https://adfinternational.org/news/breaking-landmark-ruling-expected-in-finnish-bible-tweet-case-tomorrow ADF International]) both say that Rasanen was convicted under a section titled “war crimes and crimes against humanity”, but I hope we're not going to change the headline to say that Rasanen and Pohjola were convicted of war crimes, too. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 01:57, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
:::The section specifically concerns crimes against humanity and courts determine the severity of the crimes against humanity that were committed, which can range from simply dehumanising a minority to genocide and war crimes. The section of the criminal code of Finland is based on the expertise and scholarship of experts and scholars of crimes against humanity who hold that crimes against humanity begin relatively simple in the form of simply dehumanising minorities and continue escalating until eventually genocide and war crimes. This landmark ruling is precisely regarded as such because it considers that even the most simplest form, dehumanising a minority, does indeed constitute a crime against humanity in and of itself. --[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 02:04, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
==Luther Foundation==
Where does it say that the Luther Foundation was convicted, too? I just checked all of the cited sources and I couldn't find where any of them said that the Luther Foundation was also convicted. In fact, I only saw the phrase "Luther Foundation" in two of the articles ([https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/finnish-mp-paivi-rasanen-convicted-homosexuality-developmental-disorder The Guardian] and [https://www.christianitytoday.com/2026/03/finnish-parlimentarian-paivi-rasanen-christian-hate-speech/ Christianity Today]). --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 15:03, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

== More headline problems ==
The headline now says, "Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against the humanity convictions in landmark ruling". This doesn't sound like idiomatic English. The commonly used phrase is "crimes against humanity", not "crimes against the humanity", at least in this context (note that it no longer says "crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians"). Also, the phrase that a court "makes [name of crime] convictions" is awkward. I wouldn't write that a court "makes murder convictions", "makes kidnapping convictions", etc.; I would write that a court "convicts [someone] of murder", "convicts [someone] of kidnapping", etc. Or in this case, the Supreme Court of Finland convicts [the specified defendants] of crimes against humanity, although several versions of the headline has gone back and forth as to whether to refer to them by name, as politicians, or as Christians. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 02:57, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that it is too vague to simply say that the Supreme Court of Finland made convictions. It should say against Christians, rather than by name or politicians, because there are four defendants, of whom two are individuals and of whom only one is politician and the other is a bishop, and the other two defendants are institutions, and the only thing that they have in common is that they are all Christian.

== Way too many sources ==
I'm sorry but its just going to take me way too long to review this given that there are like ten sources used in the article and I don't even know if all of them are required to verify the info, I am very overwhelmed at this point, other editors have been moaning and bitching about the way I review articles, and the WMF is now officially closing Wikinews next month so there's no point in finishing this anyway. You can try and see if someone else can review this, but given the way things have been going here the last six months I would not bank on it, man.

== Note to reviewer(s) ==
Hello,
I edited the text to remove one sentence that was vague and created bias ( is consistently ranked at or near the top of various indices of freedom and democracy, and is therefore broadly considered to be a model liberal democracy.) this sentence may be re-added if details is included.
I re-ordered for inverted pyramid
I re-worded for past tense
I added clarifications where possible to avoid bias and make the article more neutral
and I submitted it for review. Hope this is helpful. Newsworthiness is an issue and I hope it can be passed with exception as articles were not published for a while.

: I find the publication of this article problematic. I agree with @[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] above regarding the headline as well as our use of the term 'crimes against humanity.'<br> There is not adequate, independent support to state that anyone has been found guilty "of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians." The available reporting does not support that characterization.<br> Reuters stated the conviction was for ''incitement'':<blockquote>The court found Paivi Rasanen, a medical doctor and MP for the small Christian Democratic party since 1995, guilty of incitement against a group by claiming in a social media post in 2019 and on her website in 2020 that it was scientifically proven that homosexuality was a developmental disorder.</blockquote>Machine translation of the [https://korkeinoikeus.fi/fi/index/ennakkopaatokset/kko202627.html Supreme Court's release] states the following:<blockquote>A is charged with incitement against a group of people between November 4, 2019 and January 24, 2022 (count 1), for which he is sentenced to a 20-day fine.<br> B is charged with incitement against a group of people between November 4, 2019 and January 24, 2022 (count 2), for which he is sentenced to a 20-day fine.<br> The X Foundation is sentenced to a corporate fine of 5,000 euros.</blockquote>Both the reporting and the court’s own release describe the offense as incitement against a group. I do not see support for describing the conviction as 'crimes against humanity,' and that appears to be a mischaracterization of the ruling.<br> While one listed source uses that phrasing, it originates from Christian Institute. That phrasing appears in the headline, while the body of the article instead states: ''"This offence is listed under a chapter of criminal code entitled “war crimes and crimes against humanity”.'' This reflects a description of the structure of the criminal code rather than the charge or conviction itself, and does not support the wording used in the article.<br> Similarly, Christian Institute is a perspective-driven publication and does not provide the level of independent, objective reporting needed to support such a claim.<br> Given that higher-quality, independent sources consistently describe the offense as incitement, I do not see a basis for retaining the current wording.<br> @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], as the publishing reviewer, what steps will be taken to correct this?[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 11:57, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

:::::
:::::* "...the Supreme Court of Finland convicted...of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians..."
:::::* "The defendants were convicted under the section of the Criminal Code of Finland concerning crimes against humanity..."
:::::* "The decision was a significant precedent with implications for future rulings pertaining to the legal intersection of freedom of speech and freedom of religion with hate speech and crimes against humanity..."
:::::* "...other portions dehumanised gays and lesbians on the basis of their sexual orientation, constituting crimes against humanity..."
:::::
::::: These statements do not reflect how the conviction is described in the Supreme Court’s release or in independent reporting, which characterize the offense as incitement against a group.

== Headline ==
As [[#More headline problems|previously noted by both]] @[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] and myself, the headline is simply too vague if it does not note the specific sort of defendants convicted by the Supreme Court and as also [[#c-Justthefacts-20260330203400-Metropolitan90-20260330025700|previously noted by myself]], the title should note that Supreme Court convicted Christians, because there are four defendants, of whom two are individuals and of whom only one is politician and the other is a bishop, and the other two defendants are institutions, and the only thing that they have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 20:41, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
: If reputable, independent sources explicitly characterize the defendants in that way, we can reflect that with proper attribution. Otherwise, grouping them under a shared identity constitutes editorial analysis, which is not appropriate under [[WN:NPOV]]. The headline should follow how the conviction is described in sources, not introduce a characterization that is not clearly supported.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 21:12, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

== Headline question ==
I questioned the use of the term "crimes against humanity" in the headline and lead paragraph based on the following:
:I would note that one of the cited sources, [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/finnish-mp-paivi-rasanen-convicted-homosexuality-developmental-disorder this article from The Guardian], begins with the sentence, "A Finnish member of parliament has been found guilty by the country’s supreme court of inciting hatred after claiming that homosexuality was a 'developmental disorder', in a conviction that prompted criticism from far-right government ministers." That source doesn't even mention the term "crimes against humanity" at all. Another cited article from [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paivi-rasanen-homosexuality-supreme-court-finland-b2946208.html The Independent] doesn't mention "crimes against humanity", either. I am also concerned that the use of the term "{{w|crimes against humanity}}" may be considered misleading as to the nature of the charges involved notwithstanding how the term is used in the Finnish Criminal Code which few English Wikinews readers may be familiar with.
[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 01:16, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
:Hello, Metropolitan90! [[User_talk:Metropolitan90#c-Justthefacts-20260328005600-Regarding your move of my article|As I also noted in a message to you on your user talk page]], the actual charge, the actual crime, and the actual conviction all fall under the section of the {{w|Criminal Code of Finland}} that concerns {{w|crimes against humanity}}. Moreover, there is a particular focus from several sources on the fact that Räsänen and Pohjola were convicted under the section of the Criminal Code of Finland that concerns crimes against humanity. If there are any ambiguities at all, all will be resolved when readers read the article itself. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 01:37, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
::Two of the cited sources ([https://www.christiantoday.com/news/landmark-ruling-expected-in-finnish-politician-s-bible-tweet-case Christian Today], [https://adfinternational.org/news/breaking-landmark-ruling-expected-in-finnish-bible-tweet-case-tomorrow ADF International]) both say that Rasanen was convicted under a section titled “war crimes and crimes against humanity”, but I hope we're not going to change the headline to say that Rasanen and Pohjola were convicted of war crimes, too. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 01:57, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
:::The section specifically concerns crimes against humanity and courts determine the severity of the crimes against humanity that were committed, which can range from simply dehumanising a minority to genocide and war crimes. The section of the criminal code of Finland is based on the expertise and scholarship of experts and scholars of crimes against humanity who hold that crimes against humanity begin relatively simple in the form of simply dehumanising minorities and continue escalating until eventually genocide and war crimes. This landmark ruling is precisely regarded as such because it considers that even the most simplest form, dehumanising a minority, does indeed constitute a crime against humanity in and of itself. --[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 02:04, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
==Luther Foundation==
Where does it say that the Luther Foundation was convicted, too? I just checked all of the cited sources and I couldn't find where any of them said that the Luther Foundation was also convicted. In fact, I only saw the phrase "Luther Foundation" in two of the articles ([https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/finnish-mp-paivi-rasanen-convicted-homosexuality-developmental-disorder The Guardian] and [https://www.christianitytoday.com/2026/03/finnish-parlimentarian-paivi-rasanen-christian-hate-speech/ Christianity Today]). --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 15:03, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

== More headline problems ==
The headline now says, "Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against the humanity convictions in landmark ruling". This doesn't sound like idiomatic English. The commonly used phrase is "crimes against humanity", not "crimes against the humanity", at least in this context (note that it no longer says "crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians"). Also, the phrase that a court "makes [name of crime] convictions" is awkward. I wouldn't write that a court "makes murder convictions", "makes kidnapping convictions", etc.; I would write that a court "convicts [someone] of murder", "convicts [someone] of kidnapping", etc. Or in this case, the Supreme Court of Finland convicts [the specified defendants] of crimes against humanity, although several versions of the headline has gone back and forth as to whether to refer to them by name, as politicians, or as Christians. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 02:57, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:I agree that it is too vague to simply say that the Supreme Court of Finland made convictions.

== Note to reviewer(s) ==
Hello,
I edited the text to remove one sentence that was vague and created bias ( is consistently ranked at or near the top of various indices of freedom and democracy, and is therefore broadly considered to be a model liberal democracy.) this sentence may be re-added if details is included.
I re-ordered for inverted pyramid
I re-worded for past tense
I added clarifications where possible to avoid bias and make the article more neutral
and I submitted it for review. Hope this is helpful. Newsworthiness is an issue and I hope it can be passed with exception as articles were not published for a while.

::: I also have concerns about whether some of the framing—particularly in [[#Headline|the discussion below]]—may be introducing characterization not clearly supported by sources.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 21:35, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Hi, I have been arguing against framing this as "convicting Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays" since the beginning, where I evoked [[Wikinews:NPOV]]. This framing is not necessary or essential for the article, I don't understand why this is is being brought up again. Imagine if the defendants in question were Jews or Muslims and we ran with that same headline. How do you think that would go? [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 21:43, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
::::: The article continues to describe the convictions as “crimes against humanity” in several places:
:::::
:::::* "...the Supreme Court of Finland convicted...of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians..."
:::::* "The defendants were convicted under the section of the Criminal Code of Finland concerning crimes against humanity..."
:::::* "The decision was a significant precedent with implications for future rulings pertaining to the legal intersection of freedom of speech and freedom of religion with hate speech and crimes against humanity..."
:::::* "...other portions dehumanised gays and lesbians on the basis of their sexual orientation, constituting crimes against humanity..."
:::::
::::: These statements do not reflect how the conviction is described in the Supreme Court’s release or in independent reporting, which characterize the offense as incitement against a group. The references to “crimes against humanity” appear to derive from the structure of the criminal code rather than the nature of the conviction itself.
::::: As a journalism project, we are required to ensure that our reporting accurately reflects what sources state. In this case, describing the convictions as “crimes against humanity” is not supported by the available sources and should be corrected.
::::: {{tq|I don't understand why this is is being brought up again.}}
::::: This is being raised because the current wording does not align with how the conviction is described in the sources, and accuracy in that regard is a core requirement.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 05:35, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
== Headline ==
As [[#More headline problems|previously noted by both]] @[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] and myself, the headline is simply too vague if it does not note the specific sort of defendants convicted by the Supreme Court and as also [[#c-Justthefacts-20260330203400-Metropolitan90-20260330025700|previously noted by myself]], the title should note that Supreme Court convicted Christians, because there are four defendants, of whom two are individuals and of whom only one is politician and the other is a bishop, and the other two defendants are institutions, and the only thing that they have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 20:41, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
: If reputable, independent sources explicitly characterize the defendants in that way, we can reflect that with proper attribution. Otherwise, grouping them under a shared identity constitutes editorial analysis, which is not appropriate under [[WN:NPOV]]. The headline should follow how the conviction is described in sources, not introduce a characterization that is not clearly supported.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 21:12, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 21:46, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Hi, I changed the headline to reflect what the sources said the defendents were actually convicted of. @[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] please do not move the page back to characterize the defendents as simply "Christians", because that framing creates a [[Wikinews:NPOV]] problems that are not in line with our policies.

== Wikinews Welcome and temporary accounts ==
[[User:Wikinews Welcome|Wikinews Welcome]] is a bot that posts a welcome message to new accounts. Does anyone have access to the bot and if so, can we configure it to welcome new, temporary accounts with a recommendation to 1. Register their accounts and 2. direct them to our primer on what ''Wikinews'' is not. Below is a draft idea:
<blockquote>'''Welcome to Wikinews!'''
You may edit without creating an account. If you do, your edits will be attributed to a temporary username (for example, <code>~2026-12345-67</code>) rather than displaying your IP address.
If you’d like to submit news, we’re glad to have your help. Please ensure your work follows ''Wikinews''' policies on [[wn:npov|neutrality]], [[WN:CS|sourcing]], and [[wn:copyright|originality]]. Before starting an article, review [[Wikinews:What Wikinews is not#What Wikinews articles are not|what Wikinews is not]] — opinion pieces and editorial content do not qualify as news.
Creating a registered account is free and provides additional editing privileges, such as uploading media. Wikinews relies on contributors developing a reputation based on their edits, and a stable username helps build that reputation over time.</blockquote>
@[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] and @[[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]], as our resident tech gurus, can either of you tackle this or point us in the right direction to who can?

:[[User:Wikinews Welcome]] is configured with [[mw:Extension:NewUserMessage]] which I assume only sends welcome messages to newly created accounts. As per [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety_Product/Temporary_Accounts/FAQ#Are_temporary_accounts_welcomed_by_Extension:NewUserMessage? this], Extension:NewUserMessage cannot be used to send welcome messages to temporary accounts. For that purpose we could create a bot that sends such messages to temporary account users. I am not sure whether such a bot already exists. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 16:58, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
:: @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]], your list of requested coding tasks is growing and I want to respect your time, and in the grand scheme of things, I consider this a low-priority request. Having said that, would you be willing to code such a bot to automatically post a welcome message to newly created temporary accounts after the following conditions are met:
:: 1. The account becomes [[Wikinews:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]] (I believe that happens after four days)<br>2. The account has made at least one edit here, not counting edits to their own user page or talk page
:: These requirements are meant to avoid sending a welcome message to a global, temporary account when the user has no plans to contribute to this project (as mentioned by [[#c-Codename_Noreste-20260209035100-Michael.C.Wright-20260206213700|Codename above]]).
:: Since this is a low-priority task, we could ensure the bot has a "light touch" by having it check only every 24 hours, or whatever you find is a good period for a low-priority task.
:: The {{tl|welcome-anon}} would suffice but I personally think the notice should be simpler and cleaner. I think welcome-anon is too busy, too complicated, and over-loaded. I assume that many people see a lot of text (including tabs of more text) and simply skip reading it. Which is why I proposed the text above, which can, of-course, be edited to meet consensus on what message we want to convey to such users.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:26, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
:::I can code that. But, I have less experience working with bots, especially when it comes to maintaining them. That said, welcoming temporary accounts does not seem too complicated. I will look into it, and after preparing an initial version, I will request bot permission. I think we may need an alternative welcome message template for temporary accounts. Just to clarify, temporary accounts are deactivated and become inaccessible after 90 days, so that is also something we need to consider. --[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 16:58, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

:::::There are multiple ways this bot could skip spam-only temporary accounts, such as checking whether the account has been blocked, whether the first edit has been reverted, and so on. Do you have any other suggestions?

== Suggestion for template change and ezpr2 software change ==
Hello,
The template “Congratulations, article you contributed to was published” currently does not include a link to the article’s talk page or a note indicating that a review comment has been posted there. It may be helpful to add both a direct link to the talk page and a brief note about the review comment. This could make it easier for contributors to find and engage with reviewer feedback.
Also, I noted that in some cases, reviewers can leave a custom message in EZPR2. As an article contributor, I believe it would be very helpful for me to have the option to receive a copy of the full review comment on my personal talk page, if that is what I would prefer. Would it be possible to make this available as an opt-in feature? I would be glad to add a tag such as {{POSTFULLCOMMENT}} to my talk page (or use another suitable marker) to indicate that I have opted in, if that would help with implementation.
Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:47, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

:::The boxed approach is inspired by Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, after an article is reviewed through the AfC process, authors may receive a similarly designed boxed notice.

However, reviewers have the option to use a custom message if they prefer. Personally, I think the boxed design looks good, but if others disagree, I have no issue with modifying it.

Currently, [[Template:Documentation]] is under cascading (full) protection, presumably due to [[Template:Latest news]] and [[Template:!!]] (both latter templates must stop using cascading protection and use regular full protection).
* Please remove the following code blobs from [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], as the documentation template plans to use CSS code from [[Template:Documentation/styles.css]] and that currently using <code>?safemode=1</code> would break the CSS styling in the documentation template:
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
.template-documentation { /* for [[Template:Documentation] */
clear: both;
margin: 1em 0 0 0;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
background-color: #ecfcf4; /* pale green */
padding: 5px;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
/* Template Documentation */
html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .template-documentation {
clear: both;
margin: 1em 0 0 0;
border: 1px solid #444;
background-color: #0b1e1c;
padding: 5px;
color: #e0e0e0;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
/* Template Documentation */
html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .template-documentation {
clear: both;
margin: 1em 0 0 0;
border: 1px solid #444;
background-color: #0b1e1c;
padding: 5px;

}
</syntaxhighlight>

: I have disabled cascading protection for both of the parent templates so you should now be able to edit [[Template:Documentation]], which is now only protected to auto-confirmed.
: Where are you able to see that protection was the result of cascading protection (for future reference)?

== Improper 'circle' ==
Well -- darn. I just published the Pres. Trump article, putting it in at Lead 1. I thought the Randwick City council article would then 'drop' to Lead 2 -- but it vanished. I wish one of our code ninjas could set things up so the 'flow' simply causes the oldest article to drop off, and the 'newest' article lands at the top.

:There is a tool for that at [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], you have to install it in your common.js (instructions are provided). It does exactly that. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 06:56, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]]: Let me know if you need help understanding how it works. Here is a simple guide:
:#After installing, go to the "[[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Lead Manger Form|Lead Manager Form]]" section.
:#Select an article in the "Title" field.
:#Choose the number of sentences to include in the new lead.
:#Click "Fetch Automatically" and review the lead content.
:#Finally, Click "Start Update!" button and confirm the update.

**: With the new LeadManager, if you are just publishing a single, new article, once you import the two sentences and button-down the text if necessary, all you need to do is then 'update' and LeadManager will shuffle through all five automagically and self-sight all of the changes.

This problem is actually getting worse. The last '''four''' articles published have not yet been featured on the front page.

== Request for multi-URL support for 'Source' tool ==
Hi @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]]
I'm writing with https://gryllida.neocities.org/news/writer/V4/ and often I have multiple URL to insert, average 2-4 sources. Could the source tool which fetches the metadata, handle multiple URLs? This could be multiline input and then it could ask me to cross check its output for each source.
Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 07:51, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
:It currently can only handle one URL at a time, but I can set up some APIs that you can use to process multiple requests at once. Does WfW use SourceHelper? --[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 08:15, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
::One more thing: the Source tool is not 100% guaranteed to fetch all metadata. For some lesser known news sites or more complicated cases, it may struggle. This is the same tool that is used on Wikipedia. --[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 08:18, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
:::I was thinking like "present the user with multiline box. When user clicked ok, then: click Source button, paste url 1, click fetch, wait for user to check metadata and click ok. Repeat this for each url." [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:26, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
::No, WfW does not fill source templates, that is left for on-wiki tools. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:27, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
