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.

[[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]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 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]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 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."

Just wanted to explain a bit why I rv'd your seemingly perfectly reasonable edit on the image. I don't particularly dispute the point about it being ineligible for copyright. The thing is, though, there's a long and tragic history of Commons dissing Wikinews by deleting stuff (with neither warning nor notification) we are using and cannot replace, but which we could almost always upload locally under fair use if we knew it was about to happen. There's probably... usually... no malice at all involved, either, but one can't help thinking if Commons cared to it could easily set up an infrastructure to check whether a pending deletion would cause problems for a sister project that allows local uploads, and either notify them or even automatically do a local upload with some sort of copyright-justification-needed-within-x-amount-of-time tag. The worst incident I've seen was a Wikinews article we published with an image that had been sitting happily on Commons for something like six or seven years, and then a little more than a day after we published our article, while it was the number one lead on our main page so that this image was the single most prominent image displayed on our entire site, Commons deleted it. The icing on the cake was, this was just '''after''' the article was more than 24 hours post-publication, so that our archive policy had kicked in (the reason we can't replace most images that get deleted out from under us). So, once we've uploaded something locally, we're not likely to voluntarily delete it in favor of moving to Commons, making ourselves more vulnerable to the mishap of Commons deletion. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:05, 8 December 2012 (UTC) :'''Okay''' But if it gets deleted there, you can undelete it here. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 08:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC) ::Hm.

Accredited Reporter is based entirely on trust, so a user with little track record on ''Wikinews'' can get it if they're trusted by the community (although it's most common for users to do some writing first, then apply). For reviewer, it's not as high-trust. Trust is an element, of course, but reviewer is about competence with ''Wikinews'' policies and processes.

It hasn't started yet, but I am collecting interest, and you can '''add your nick to the page'''. If you're not doing content edits frequently you could choose another streak period for your news content participation - for example, once each two months rather than once each two weeks... ---- It is being proposed to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, * "write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published" This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer. The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think? Parameters are subject to discussion e.g. * 'once every two weeks' or 'once a week' or 'once a month' * should this be same for all or each person decides for themselves * how long total comp running for, 12 weeks or 24 weeks or some other time * some other ideas how to modify this i would appreciate if you could reply '''by end of this week''', it would be helpful please note if you are interested you may signup in [[Wikinews:2026 streak competition]] at page bottom and you will be notified at your talk page if there are any updates or progress of this idea thanks a lot ---- Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 01:25, 23 February 2026 (UTC) :thank you for signing up, Koavf. i added one more column, the '''frequency''' -- for example, 'two weeks'. this is the streak frequency parameter you would prefer. for example, 'two weeks' means you would suggest that you work towards publishing one story per each two weeks. if you miss third and fourth week and work towards publishing on week five, then the streak is lost. so longer time period (every 4 weeks can be easier than every 2 weeks) can be easier. please add yours, when you have a moment. :-) regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:48, 23 February 2026 (UTC) == CAT deletions == Hi, I saw you deleted a bunch of categories including [[:CAT:September 15, 2018]], that too without a deletion comment -- why is that so?

With the flagged revs being disabled for them. There is a need to make a decision what to do to prevent vandalism and other unwanted edits. * Option 1: do nothing; the templates become available for anyone to edit. Another user can undo that. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; any user can monitor and undo. * Option 2: protect on 'auto-confirmed' level. Accounts with the 'autoconfirmed' privilege can edit. Another 'autoconfirmed' user can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; an 'autoconfirmed' user or users need to check recent changes and monitor. This inconveniences users who are not 'autoconfirmed' because they havve to open a new section at talk page to request an edit. Work load on 'auto-confirmed' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. * Option 3: protect on 'some new privilege name here' level. The privilege is given out to any user who was doing something constructive and is provided by request without needing to do a full vote. A vote may be held to remove it if needed or an admin can remove that privilege if it was misused. Another 'some new privilege name here' user can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; an 'some new privilege name here' user or users need to check recent changes and monitor. This inconveniences users who are not a'some new privilege name here' because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'some new privilege name here' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. * Option 4: protect on 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' level. Accounts with 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' privilege can edit, and another user with that privilege can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong, however, the pool of users was hand selected and voted on and the risk was reduced. This inconveniences users who are not a 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. * Option 5: protect on 'sysop' level. Accounts with sysop (Administrator) privilege can edit, and another user with that privilege can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong, however, the pool of users was hand selected and voted on and the risk was reduced.

The amount of such changes made in template namespace was tiny and I propose to reduce load on 'contributors, users, reviewers, and interface admins', as they best work on news. Solving vandalism or 'hey lets change this because thats how i did it somewhere else and i thought that is good here' or 'i am confused' issues is a sysop job (ignoring that sysops have huge backlog because I am here and I don't even know that these tasks exist, but still. sysop handle mitigations of abuse and approvals of legit edits, in my view. I do not want to bring up question of sysop backlog size or lack of prior involvement in such issues before as it is not directly relevant to my argument).

But current experience shows that editers and reviewers can not determine if theres any content in an AI generated article. And we "cannot edit after it published", so no remedies can be made. I also believe we should issue an announcement after disabling AI, which would show that we are a responsible media outlet. Of course, I maintain the stance discussed earlier that, ideally, editors should consciously strive to discern, and reviewers should ensure everything meets the standards, such as accuracy. If the review process can achieve this, it doesn't matter whether the article is written by a human, Shakespeare's monkey, or AI, nor is explicit labeling necessary, because we ultimately get a good article. I'm not saying people can't achieve this, but it requires too much effort, which is clearly not cost-effective. And if we implement policies similar to this now instead of banning AI, it will lead to situations where submissions written with AI cannot be published due to insufficient and timely review, which is obviously not in our favor.

Our current policies and guidelines still largely reflect that expectation. <br>My point is that this is not the way to go about policy change. What has occurred is one reviewer has unilaterally disregarded policy for personal convenience (as stated), and that has resulted in the publication of inaccuracies, bias, and/or plagiarism. <br>If [[WN:IAR]] is used as a justification (and it has not been, so far), even that requires the action to ''improve'' the project.<br>Reviewing as if a policy change has occurred, when it has not, predictably increases post-publication errors and workload. It then becomes circular to cite those downstream burdens as justification for lowering the standard that would have prevented them.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 17:42, 12 January 2026 (UTC) ::::I don't think there was disregard from one reviewer, that's why I opened RFC below.

Part of why I oppose the "nuclear option" is because it's nearly impossible to definitively know whether a certain sentence was purely AI-generated or merely the signature of a more formal human writing. As long as it's used responsibly, genAI can be a very handy tool for writing [[WN:Breaking news|breaking news articles]], seeking feedback on the quality of an almost complete article, correcting the grammar, translating content, and other purposes. For example, when I wrote "[[Bangladeshi interim leader Muhammad Yunus returns home after four-day visit to London]]" and "[https://web.archive.org/web/20250707221334/https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Australia%27s_truth_commission_finds_genocide_against_Aboriginal_Victorians,_suggests_practical_remedies Australia's truth commission finds genocide against Aboriginal Victorians, suggests practical remedies]" (which was [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete&user=&page=Australia%27s+truth+commission+finds+genocide+against+Aboriginal+Victorians%2C+suggests+practical+remedies&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist deleted] due to staleness), I asked ChatGPT very simple prompts such as "Please assess that article" and "Is my article good?", and it gave me some rather useful advice (in retrospect, I admit that I should perhaps have disclosed it on the talk pages). Of course, it's a double-edged sword, and I discarded the recommendations which seemed very nitpicky or would run against P&Gs such as [[WN:NPOV|NPOV]]. I think a responsible (if imperfect) approach would be to give a hard "Not Ready" verdict on articles that look entirely AI-generated from the beginning to the end, grant a bit of leeway for those where only a specific section or paragraph is AI-generated, add one or more sections at [[Help:AI]] for guidance on rewriting these sorts of articles, and direct contributors to both that help page and [[WN:The use of AI in generating content]].

With only one-vote separation and multiple participants explicitly calling for further discussion, this still does not meet a strong consensus threshold. The thread shows more agreement on process deficiencies (review standards, workload) than on prohibition itself. Based on that, and keeping in mind that consensus is not determined by simple vote totals but by working toward a solution that reasonably addresses the main concerns raised on all sides, I suggest the following be considered for further community discussion: * Transition [[WN:AI]] from a draft guideline into a proposed policy, so its requirements and enforcement expectations are clearer. * We carefully monitor AI usage to ensure it is 1. transparent, 2. accurate, 3. NPOV.

In a discussion above, [[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] noted that this requires checking each piece in the published article to the letter. So for example the way I understood it from above discussion, publishing an article with note 'A bus crashed, it carried 45 customers.' with a lot of other newsy information such as 5Ws, H, a driver was drunk, driver survived with one leg injury, etc other details, would require reviewer checking everything; according to this interpretation, just checking everything else while ignoring that piece of detail about '45' (and hence risking it will be published with incorrect number) would be against the current policy. This is purposefully a bit exaggerated example to get my point across. From time to time Michael.C.Wright picked up some more serious issues in my reviews, for example one article I didn't run in copyvio check, and then he went and put a dozen of issues which weren't adequately verified or attributed or some other thing, that I am yet to look at when I am slightly less busy hopefully towards the end of this week, and proposed a retraction. That retraction discussion link is located in first sentence of the above proposal to ban AI usage at ''Wikinews''. I don't believe this is realistic to expect a reviewer to check 100% of the content in an article unless someone is hired to do such extensive reviews and another user is hired to implement the requested changes quickly (a total of 2 users hired). I believe that requiring full review will delay reviews as they are simply more time consuming for the reviewer; and this will also delay publishing because a long list of issues will be presented to an author, and an author will take longer to address them. I proposed earlier, for example, that only the 5W and H, and plagiarism, should be checked, and potentially NPOV next on the list, but I expect that checking article to the last letter of each sentence is not required. For example being satisfied that around 70% of the article was confirmed in the sources could be sufficient to publish it. I am seeking comment from each reviewer about this.

While both of these could be blamed on the reviewer who approved the story that was later scrutinized, I do not find this approach particularly fruitful for the quality of news output nor for the integrity of the project as a whole. I am seeking comment from everyone about this matter. In my opinion lowering the tolerance to omissions, as long as it does not land into plagiarism or substantial bias territory, was previously allowed and the level of cross check in the last year has unnecessarily -- and without a consultation -- increased, putting unnecessary burden on involved authors and other reviewers. I request that this workflow comes back to what it was previously. Thanks for your attention to this sentiment, and I hope to see your comments about it soon.

This is more-or-less equivalent to how some proper news organizations operate, where they review their own published works and issue retractions, make corrections, etc. (it was only two days ago that I saw my feed for ''Mother Jones'' retract a story that they couldn't verify). So I agree in principle that it's worth us having an author-to-reviewer relationship that works at the time of publication and then if someone is motivated, an archiver-to-reviewer relationship.

As said by others, the articles we currently publish are mainly based on contributors' interests and availability, which isn't always the most attractive to a general audience. Even 1-sentence updates or a collection of quotes from media would be better than nothing; there's so much going on in the world right now that there's always something readers urgently need to know, and I see it as a foundational step for building, maintaining and retaining an active readership. I would gladly take up this task, but of course it would be better if reviewer(s) are responsible so that the reviewing process can be skipped/streamlined.

Therefore, I am dropping the Dynamic Marking approach within EzPR. :::Just to clarify regarding your comment: "''First, they can be difficult to remove when working in the visual editor.''" - I believe you may be referring to the current approach of wrapping text with templates. Dynamic Marking '''was not''' designed in that way; it was intended to function more like inline comments. Additionally, EN wikinews currently does not have the VisualEditor enabled.

I believe the reasoning can be found in [[Wikinews:Categories#Wikilinks_and_redirects|this essay]], which states "Don't use wikilinks for basic information: a news article should stand on its own, understandable without consulting some other page along the way." As a community, I believe we have strayed from this practice considerably. A drift towards more wikilinking, in my opinion, is part of our broader drift from being a journalism project first to a wiki project first and a journalism project second. While over-wikilinking has not been an impediment to publication (that I'm aware of), it is something we should either be actively addressing (reducing) or something we should remove from our policies and guidelines.

At some point I added a note like ", a state in east coast of United States," for something, for that reason. *:* Sport articles, for example, suffer a lot from lack of explanations. :S *:* Also this approach gave advantage that items that ''are'' wikilinked do, eventually in an utopic world when news writing is an everyday thing, become wikilinks to local categories about that event series or place or topic in ''news'' context, with a feed for that.

Or something. *:* If I removed a wikilink, I should probably feel compelled to either add a brief note or add a local news-feed (category) link. *:* A reviewer can do such minor chanhe if needed. *:* And I personally do not see any reason to change that policy in its current version. *:[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:00, 28 February 2026 (UTC) *{{weak delete}} Admittedly, having too many wikilinks looks bad.

Add a friendly site notice inviting users to join a “newsroom” and review at least one article per day. Link to a Newsroom guide explaining categories: Drafts = need pre-review, expand, submit for review Queue = possibly ready; check carefully and flag issues Disputed = issues found; fix and resubmit That page like [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] but a mini-version: with only one paragraph intro linking to key policies; three lists (draft, review, disputed) one paragraph before each; one list (published in last three days) also one para explaining process of improving or cross checking those. That could be more user friendly for newbies than the current "everything and a kitchen sink" current version. 2. On submission, automatically leave the user a message with a request to pre-review at least two pages from the Newsroom, again linking to its over simplified version, perhaps even transcluding it to the user's talk page (via subst, so only then-current version is included in the message) as then they do not need to open the Newsroom link to see the topics being written about in the new drafts. These steps should speed feedback to authors and surface more issues before publishing, and bring more hands to fix them. Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:10, 27 March 2026 (UTC) 3. At submission, present user a button "pre-review my own article" which is like pre-review process they do for article they just submitted. 2a. Example: [[User:Gryllida/MiniNewsroom]] --[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:31, 27 March 2026 (UTC) :4. Add button "mark as stale" to the develop template. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:32, 27 March 2026 (UTC) == Online workshop for training new reviewers == Hello everyone, to help increase the number of active reviewers on English Wikinews and support interested contributors in understanding the review process, I would like to propose organizing a structured, documentation-based online workshop. Given that live video sessions may not be feasible for many participants, this workshop would primarily be text-based and hosted on-wiki (with optional use of chat platforms for discussion). However, if any experienced reviewer is interested in contributing via a presentation or live session, that would certainly be welcome. The workshop would be divided into 4-5 sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reviewing process. These may include: * Introduction to the role and responsibilities of a reviewer * Core review criteria (newsworthiness, neutrality, verifiability, freshness, copyvio) * Source verification and common issues in articles * The review workflow (from submission to publication) * Post-publication review and maintenance Each section would include short explanatory materials (text, slides, or diagrams), followed by practical tasks. These tasks could include answering questions, identifying issues in sample articles, or performing a simulated review. Participants who complete the workshop should gain a clearer understanding of how reviewing works in practice. Rather than replacing the existing reviewer nomination process, the workshop could serve as a preparation pathway, helping participants build the skills and confidence needed before being nominated. Additionally, participants who demonstrate strong understanding during the workshop could be encouraged or mentored further as potential reviewer candidates. To keep the workshop effective, participation may be limited to a small group. We would likely need at least 2-3 experienced reviewers to help guide discussions, review responses, and provide feedback. I would be happy to help prepare materials such as slides, flowcharts, and example articles. I would appreciate the community's thoughts on this idea: Would such a workshop be useful? Would any reviewers be interested in helping organize or mentor participants? Are there improvements or alternative approaches we should consider? Thank you. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:12, 29 March 2026 (UTC) :*'''Support''' I would've started reviewing much sooner of there was something like this in place.

If the top headline is going to be permanently in place after that, it ought to be something that commemorates the ending of Wikinews. I wouldn't want the headline that the site has to live with permanently to be something like "Small town car accident results in nearly $200 in damage, no injuries". Of course, this presumes that we can have an article commemorating the site's closure ready and approved on May 3, but it will also require the cooperation of reviewers not to put something else in the lead headline position at the last minute. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 14:13, 30 March 2026 (UTC) :{{Support}}: I think this could be some type of original report.

I thought I'd read that the film festival itself ran Nov. 6th - 9th -- is that right? If so, please check the last sentence in the article. *The cluster of images: Maybe tweak some of the captions -- I think 3 images all share the exact same caption.

And for what is seemingly the most bizarre of reasons: Something isn't sticking. When Gryllida undeleted that (terribly stale) article, I can only surmise that you then believed you had carte blanche to do as you saw fit. I could be wrong. I don't know how you think. She prompted you to move it to your ''USER SPACE''. I don't know that you've fooled around much with Sandboxes -- but that is the ONLY PLACE this article belongs (for you to maybe do something with down the road). I did see (very late in the article) some mention of some November and December stuff -- that might have a pinch of possibilities, but only just and will require MAJOR gatwicking. I had MANY things to learn when I came here. Ours can be an uphill experience. I have 4000 pounds of patience for anyone who wishes to learn. You have cajoled and complained and misunderstood to no end. Without counting, you've easily referenced English WN as failure easily 3 times in the past 60 days. Actions like pushing that article out do not help that issue. You indicated that Gryllida asked you to come here to be a Reviewer. You are 5000 miles away from achieving that office as it sits now. You pushing that article out for review is beyond the pale. My words absolutely belong on your Talk page, so other Reviewers can see your actions and my response. I've made minor mention in recent weeks of disruptive edits (and I tend to go very soft on such actions). I will say, for the FINAL TIME: An interview is not a magic wand -- it isn't. If an interview is the FOCAL EVENT of an article (that 100% does not apply on this current submission), we can totally go beyond 7 days...for sure. You are not brand new here. You have (and have had) more than ample time to engage with fresh, meaningful submissions.

Keating informed the audience at the State Library of New South Wales last night. "I did give our prime minister a heap of fighting points in the event that Trump turned nasty on him," he revealed.

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.

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."

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]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 11:57, 6 April 2026 (UTC) ::Do you believe a retraction is imminent?

According to the US Central Command, the blockade will start at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (1400 UTC). Trump announced the blockade via a Truth Social post. "Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the finest in the world, will be blockading any and all ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," Trump declared. The blockade occurs in the aftermath of failed peace talks between the United States and Iran over the weekend in Islamabad. According to ''The Guardian'', oil prices have increased to over $100 a barrel in the aftermath of news of the blockade, and gas prices have also increased. Iran has dismissed the blockade, with parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sarcastically telling Americans on X to "enjoy the current pump figures" and stated that with the "so-called blockade," Americans would be "nostalgic for $4-$5 gas." He further denied that the blockade would impact Iran and stated that it would retaliate if the United States escalated. China has expressed their wish for the ceasefire to be maintained. The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Chinese government is willing to work with other countries to maintain the continued flow of oil supplies in the Strait of Hormuz, and have stated that the maintence of stability in the strait is of "paramount importance" to China. {{haveyoursay}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/apr/13/oil-price-tops-100-dollars-barrel-us-blockade-strait-of-hormuz |title=Oil price tops $100 a barrel after peace talks fail and Trump orders blockade |author=Julia Kollewe |pub=The Guardian |date=13 April 2026 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260413094025/https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/apr/13/oil-price-tops-100-dollars-barrel-us-blockade-strait-of-hormuz }} *{{source |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/oil-prices-surge-failed-us-iran-peace-talks-trumps-blockade-2026-4 |title=Oil surges past $100 a barrel after US-Iran peace talks fail and Trump threatens to blockade the Strait of Hormuz |author=Lauren Edmonds, Huileng Tan, and Theron Mohamed |pub=Business Insider |date=13 April 2026 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260414101411/https://www.businessinsider.com/oil-prices-surge-failed-us-iran-peace-talks-trumps-blockade-2026-4 }} *{{source |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/enjoy-it-now-iran-warns-of-painful-oil-price-surge-as-trump-escalates-blockade-threat/articleshow/130224254.cms |title='Enjoy it now:' Iran warns of painful oil price surge as Trump escalates blockade threat |pub=The Times of India |date=13 April 2026 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260413094735/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/enjoy-it-now-iran-warns-of-painful-oil-price-surge-as-trump-escalates-blockade-threat/articleshow/130224254.cms }} *{{source |url=https://iranwire.com/en/news/151161-china-reacts-to-strait-of-hormuz-blockade-global-energy-security-at-risk/ |title=China Reacts to Strait of Hormuz Blockade: Global Energy Security at Risk |pub=IranWire |date=13 April 2026 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260414101411/https://www.businessinsider.com/oil-prices-surge-failed-us-iran-peace-talks-trumps-blockade-2026-4 }} [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Iran]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] 89vkvg49i790olheongeay9bwsufozr 5008044 5008043 2026-04-14T12:39:20Z Michael.C.Wright 1936983 add infobox 5008044 wikitext text/x-wiki {{review}} {{date|13 April 2026}} {{Politics and conflicts}} On Sunday, United States President Donald Trump announced that the US is imposing a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz to prevent other countries trading with Iranian ports in the area and to further weaken the Iranian regime.
