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> Please vote using {{keep}} {{tl|keep}}, {{remove}} {{tl|remove}}, {{neutral}} {{tl|neutral}}, or {{comment}} {{tl|comment}} followed by signature.

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.

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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''.

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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''.

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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.

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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.

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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.

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.

[[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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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.

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.

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> ==== Votes ==== Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature {{neutral}}, [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 18:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC) : Could you share a bit more about your perspective?

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".

However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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?

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.

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) ::Do you believe a retraction is imminent?

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.

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?

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.

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) ::Do you believe a retraction is imminent?

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.
