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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a proposed retraction of a published article.
As stated on the article talk page: the article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
* "Survivors described the floods as '''sudden and catastrophic'''..."
* "The scale of destruction was '''unprecedented'''..."
* "...with '''dozens of villages''' damaged or flattened..."

The 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>

{{:Chili Finger Incident/Infobox}}{{InfoboxEnd}}
On Thursday the 22nd of March, 2005, Anna Ayala, a woman from [[:Category:Las Vegas|Las Vegas]], claimed to have found a human finger in her bowl of [[w:chili (food)|chili]] at a Wendy's restaurant located at [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1405+Monterey+Hwy+San+Jose,+CA+95110-3618&spn=0.005289,0.007693&t=k&hl=en 1405 Monterey Highway], just south of downtown [[San Jose, California|San Jose]], [[California]], owned by Fresno-based [[w:Jern Management|Jern Management]].. The finger, which probably belonged to a woman as it had a long and manicured fingernail, did not belong to any of the restaurant employees. The food supplies were seized by officials to be traced back to its manufacturers, while the restaurant was permitted to open again later with chili prepared from fresh ingredients.
===Aftermath===
Wikinews reporter [[User:David Vasquez|David Vasquez]] drove his car up to the drive-thru menu and found that chili was still on the menu, at a price of US$1.19 for a small serving. He also witnessed workers unloading supplies from a [[w:Semi-trailer|semi-trailer truck]] in the restaurant's parking lot, and carting them into the back door of the establishment.
Initially, county health officials said Ayala was fine and the finger had been cooked, which would have killed any bacteriae in the finger. However, on March 27, officials admitted they were not so sure anymore. Tests were done on the finger to determine this. Dr. Martin Fenstersheib, Santa Clara County's [[w:health officer|health officer]], said that even if the finger was still raw when Ayala bit into it, the risk was low that she would have become infected with anything. However, he advised that Ayala should undergo a series of precautionary follow-up tests.
Sales at Wendy's went down because of the incident. Wendy's International, Inc. (WEN) closed at US$39.43 on Thursday the 22nd, and as the stock exchange was closed for the Good Friday holiday, traders did not weigh in the stock until the next Monday.
By Tuesday the 5th of April, officials had still not succeeded in tracking down the owner of the finger. The fingerprint on the detached digit has been run through an FBI database as well as the local criminal database in Santa Clara County, but no matches were found. According to Rich Reneau, who was leading the investigation at the time, the fingerprint was marginal, and the likelihood of finding a match was slim.
Wendy's stock did not go down significantly and was trading at US$39.37 that morning.
===Investigation centers on Ayala===
The next day, on Wednesday the 6th, Las Vegas police searched the home of Anna Ayala. About a dozen officers conducted the search at Ayala's home at Maryland Parkway and Serene Street at about 4 p.m. local time (23:00 UTC), according to witnesses at the scene. Ayala and other residents were handcuffed and brought out of the house. Ayala said that her teenage daughter, Genesis Reyes, had torn shoulder ligaments as a result of the search. The Las Vegas Review-Journal ran a photo of Reyes wearing a sling in their Friday edition. In San Jose, police spokeswoman Gina Tepoorten confirmed to reporters that investigators had served the warrant in cooperation with Las Vegas police on Wednesday, but she refused to reveal specific details about the warrant. By that time, Wendy's was offering a US$50,000 reward for information leading to the source of the finger.
Research by the ''[[w:Associated Press|Associated Press]]'' uncovered Ayala's history of lawsuits. Ayala successfully won her suit for medical expenses against the national [[w:El Pollo Loco|El Pollo Loco]] chicken-chain, a previous employer, after her daughter Genesis contracted salmonella poisoning, allegedly from eating at the restaurant. However, Ayala lost another suit against [[w:General Motors|General Motors]] in 2000 claiming that a wheel fell off her car. She also started a sexual harassment suit against her former boss in 1998. A total of 13 lawsuits in [[California]] and [[Nevada]] had been filed. Ayala replied the focus should be on Wendy's, and not her record of law suits. Nick Muyo, a spokesman for the San Jose Police department, said not to expect new information in the case for at least a week.
===Twists and turns===
On Wednesday the 13th there was a potential new lead in the investigation. A spotted leopard had torn off part of a finger from an owner of exotic animals, Sandy Allman, in [[w:Pahrump|Pahrump, Nevada]]. The portion of Allman's torn off finger was approximately the same size - 1 1/2-inches long. Pahrump is approximately 45 miles away from Las Vegas. Carol Asvestas, who owns an exotic animal sanctuary, told the ''San Jose Mercury News'' she witnessed the leopard tear off the finger. She reported the incident to a hotline run by Wendy's offering the US$50,000 reward. Cindy Carroccio told the ''San Jose Mercury News'' that the finger was not reattached, and that the clinic "gave it back to her (Allman) in a little bag of ice." On the same day the lead was announced, Ayala decided to drop her lawsuit against Wendy's, due to emotional stress.
However, when Allman's prints were sent to San Jose police, they didn't match. Two days later, on Friday the 15th, Wendy's doubled the reward to US$100,000. The company revealed that employees had passed polygraph tests. Wendy's continues to claim that there is no evidence that the finger ever entered their supply chain, pointing to a lack of any accidents among the workers at their suppliers. Wendy's tip line had received reports from across the United States, from "folks who either have lost a finger, or know somebody who lost a finger," San Jose police Sgt. Nick Muyo told the ''Associated Press''.
===Ayala arrested===
On Thursday the 21st of April, Anna Ayala was arrested at or near her home in Las Vegas on Thursday evening, in connection with the case, shortly after Wendy's finished its own internal investigation. According to court documents, she has been charged with one count of attempted grand larceny related to the chili case, and one count of grand larceny in an unrelated real estate deal, and is being held without bail in Clark County, Nevada, pending extradition. A press conference by the San Jose Police and Wendy's was held on Friday, April 22, at 13:00 PDT. The charge related to the case states the finger could not have been prepared at Wendy's, where the chili is heated to 170 degrees for 3 hours. There is also an inconsistency in Ayala's account of finding the finger and claiming it caused her to vomit compared with police saying there was no vomit at the scene. The incident has caused Wendy's 2.5 million dollars worth of damages, which Ayala could be criminally responsible for. Until recently, the San Jose police had not accused Ayala of planting the finger herself.
The unrelated charge stems from an incident, also in San Jose, when Ayala allegedly received an $11,000 down payment on a mobile home she did not own.
Ayala was incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center, awaiting a fugitive review hearing on Tuesday, April 26, 2005, at 7:30 a.m. local time. She was processed and given inmate ID 01964047. Her case number was 05F07229X. Ayala waived extradition at the hearing, and her attorney said they were ready to come to San Jose to defend against the charges.
===Ayala transferred to San Jose===
On Friday, May 6, 2005, Ayala was transported to San Jose, California. Ayala was booked into the main Santa Clara County jail, and is awaiting arraignment. Ayala will likely be arraigned on Monday or Tuesday at the Santa Clara County Superior Court, according to Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney David Boyd.
On September 9, 2005, Ayala plead guilty to conspiring to file a false claim and attempted grand theft, and will be sentenced on November 2, 2005. She faces up to ten years in prison, and her husband faces up to 13 years behind bars.
===Finger's owner identified===
Until the middle of May, the owner of the finger [[Owner of Wendy's chili finger still not found|still had not been found]].
But on [[:category:May 13, 2005|May 13]], [[2005]], police announced that they had identified the finger tip as belonging to an associate of Ayala's husband [http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/05/13/wendys.finger.ap/index.html]. The associate had lost his finger tip in an industrial accident at an asphalt company[http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/15/chili.finger.ap/index.html] in December, 2004. Police had received the information from an undisclosed caller to Wendy's hot-line.

In British Columbia, Canada, leadership debates during provincial elections can have a major effect. In 1991, a single sentence during the leadership debate catapulted the then-obscure B.C. Liberal party from no seats for more than a decade to official opposition with 17 seats. In the current election, three television stations plan to broadcast the event live.
Adriane Carr of the Greens, Carole James of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Gordon Campbell of the B.C. Liberals left the campaign trail on Monday to prepare for the Leadership debate on Tuesday night. The contestants were heavily prepared, and came into the debate with talking points and notes carefully memorized and at the ready.
<div style="float:left; margin:10px;">
__TOC__
</div>
== Before the debate ==
Prior to the debates, it was widely reported that Adriane Carr of the Green party had already won simply by being present. The Green party secured their position in the debate by having a candidate in every riding, 79 candidates in all. With a steadily increasing polling history in elections but no seats in the Legislative Assembly and a minimal campaign budget, the Green party can only benefit from the opportunity to become better known to the BC electorate.
The Green Party formed in British Columbia in 1983 as part of the international Green Party network. In the 2001 election, the party achieved 12.4% of the popular vote, but still failed to elect a single Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA).
Carole James is a newcomer in the leadership role of the NDP. She was elected in 2003 and aims to restore the party to power after they suffered an embarrassing defeat. In 2001, the NDP went from government to opposition with only two seats. A special election raised the expectation of change and voter dissatisfaction when the ruling Liberals were unable, despite high-profile campaigning, to prevent a demoralizing defeat in favour of the NDP candidate. This brought the party up to 3 MLAs. Pundit view of the debate was split on Carole James's best approach; an aggressive approach might win enough interest and respect to gain enough seats to form a government - or backfire and push disaffected voters toward both opponent's parties, while a firm but softer stance would suggest acceptance of the position as opposition with an expectation to pick up about 15 seats in the assembly.
The NDP is not the old guard of B.C. political parties, and only formed in 1961 though it traces its lineage back to 1933. It has led the province on multiple occasions in the 1970s and 1990s. However, a series of leadership scandals and the [[w:FastCat Fiasco|FastCat Fiasco]] led to the crushing defeat at the hands of the B.C. Liberals in 2001.
Gordon Campbell, the Premier of British Columbia, has the most to lose in such an event and would likely have preferred not to attend at all. An experienced rhetorician with both long service in the Legislative Assembly and in politics in general, he also heads the party which revived itself from obscurity during just such a debate in 1991. Described as a small-c conservative in the nature of Margaret Thatcher, his party's dominance in the assembly did not allow him the confidence to actually present a budget the Liberals had been talking about, and making promises on, for months.
One of the oldest parties in the province, the B.C. Liberals are independent of the national Liberal party and its policies. They are a right-of-centre party, being socially moderate and fiscally conservative. The party was in decline for most of the last half of the past century. However, it made a remarkable recovery during the 1990s due to the dissolution of the Social Credit Party. It was greatly helped by its social conservatism and a series of leadership and financial scandals in the NDP. Capitalizing on a split in the ruling party, the Liberals took power in the 2001 election with 77 of 79 assembly seats.
== Leadership debate, 3 May 2005 ==
With tight moderation and a constrained debate format of questions and answers, rebuttals, and open floor debate, the entire event was surprisingly civil as each candidate tried to push the others into social gaffes. The candidates managed to stay on message throughout, though the discourse occasionally broke into the almost spontaneous and provided some of the liveliest discussion in what has begun to seem like a dull campaign, at least by B.C. standards.
Leading the way into the fray, Campbell pointed to the NDP for leaving the economy and infrastructure of the province in a shambles. "British Columbia became a have-not province," he repeated several times.
James hammered back, focusing on broken campaign promises and trust issues. When Campbell pointed to the successes of his party in office, she dismissed the claims. "We see Mr. Campbell taking credit for things that he had nothing to do with, high commodity prices and low interest rates."
In the enviable position of watching her opponents digging into each other and not sparing much effort on the Greens, Carr was free to criticize both parties. "The gap between the rich and the poor has grown to be the biggest in Canada and that's a shameful record," she said to Campbell. When James pointed to the privatisation of Healthcare under the Liberals, Carr cut her dead with "And who started the move to privatisation? It was the NDP who started that move."
The debate, broadcast live by three stations, did not have any clear winners or losers. Macleans magazine reported that Campbell survived being double-teamed by the other parties, yet he also seemed unable to meet James's challenges or respond to Carr's inquiries with direct answers.

{{World Press Freedom Day}}
Press advocacy groups in Africa are beginning a new campaign to remove "insult laws" from the books that protect political figures from criticism. The laws, which are found to restrict freedom of expression to varying degrees of severity in 48 out of 53 African nations, result in the imprisonment of many political reporters for what they feel is necessary criticism of their governments.
The campaign was launched on Monday in [[w:Lusaka|Lusaka]], the capital city of Zambia. The date was chosen so that the workshops would take place on [[w:World Press Freedom Day|World Press Freedom Day]] (Tuesday, May 3). In the nation of Zambia, to take one example, a three-year jail sentence is prescribed for a journalist who defames or ridicules the President or any other prince.
The laws are supposed to exist to protect the dignity and reputation of public figures. However, according to some critics, they are used to attack journalists who make personal references to some politicians, and those who allege misconduct or corruption by high public officials, such as heads of state or parliamentarians.
"We want to create awareness of these laws and lobby for their repeal in Africa," said research manager Kandji Kaitira of the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA).
According to the Zimbabwe ''Daily News'', a number of African media groups are taking part in the effort, including World Press Freedom Committee, the Southern African National Editors' Forum, the Southern African Editors' Forum, the Southern African Journalists' Association, Journalistes en Danger (JED) of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Organisations of the Media in Central Africa, the Media Foundation for West Africa and Media Rights Agenda in Nigeria.
[[w:Kenya|Kenya]] in Africa, and some countries in South America, have already removed such laws from the books. However, in at least one [[w:European Union|European Union]] country, [[w:Poland|Poland]], insulting a head of state remains a crime (see [[w:freedom of speech#Poland|freedom of speech]]), though the January 5 [[2005]] conviction of [[w:Jerzy Urban|Jerzy Urban]] for having insulted [[w:pope John-Paul II|the pope]] could in principle be overturned by the [[w:European Court of Human Rights|European Court of Human Rights]].
== Negativism in coverage of Africa ==
Last month, the result of an unusual study by 11 former African presidents was announced in a [[w:Johannesburg|Johannesburg]] press conference. The former leaders stated that based on their review of certain American outlets for the past decade (1994-2004), coverage was found to be overwhelmingly negative, crisis-driven and dismissive of Africa's democratic progress. The result of this one-sidedness, they claim, actually becomes detrimental to further progress being made by Africa.
"Negative perceptions lead to negative outcomes — lower levels of aid and lower investments," said [[w:Joaquim Chissano|Joaquim Chissano]], one-time president of [[w:Mozambique|Mozambique]], who helped put an end to decades of civil war in his country.
The period was chosen because of a trend they saw toward democracy and free markets during that period in diverse nations. Chissano said, "Coverage of Africa... is, at best, dismissive of the continent's progress and potential... At worst, coverage disregards recent trends towards democratisation, betraying an almost contemptuous lack of interest in the potential and progress being achieved on the continent," he said.
The ''New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', ''Wall Street Journal'', ''USA Today'' and ''US News and World Report'' were reviewed in the study.
== Ten stories the world should hear more about ==
To focus media awareness on World Press Freedom Day, the U.N. Department of Public Information (DPI) launched a new initiative it calls "Ten Stories the World Should Hear More About". These are items that in the strongly expressed opinion of the U.N. spokesman, are critical issues which are not receiving adequate attention by the major media, compared to other stories which are focused on almost exclusively, such as Iraq.
Some of the stories concern ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises to which the U.N. is responding, while others concern underreported good news. For example:
<blockquote>
"Five: [[w:Tajikistan|Tajikistan]], rising from the ashes of civil war. Again, you know, we often complain that while the cliche is that 'no news is good news', when it comes to media and the U.N., 'good news is no news'. Well, the fact is, here is a good news story, formidable challenges in the aftermath of a deadly civil war, and yet a country that is persisting on the road to peace and recovery — it hardly gets reported."
</blockquote>
The spokesman concluded:
<blockquote>
"Our staff and the public information staff of the various U.N. agencies are eager to work with you to raise the profile of these topics. We have summaries available of the story behind each of the ten issues on the list... All of them list contact points from whom you can seek further information. We've also posted links to more information sources on our website to help you if the list inspires you. And these are also links to the U.N. officers and agencies concerned with each issue. And if it piques your curiosity sufficiently, we're happy to help by arranging interviews. The staff of DPI and those of other U.N. offices are committed to working with you to help raise the world's awareness of these and other stories that we believe the world needs to know more about. I urge you to use the initiative as a resource, as you go about your tough job, the business of covering the news. After all you are one of the most, perhaps — we think — ''the'' most, important source of information about world events."
</blockquote>
The stories are listed on the new [http://www.un.org/events/tenstories/ Ten Stories] space on the U.N. website.

The [[w:Israel|Israeli]] government has announced that it has halted withdrawal from three additional [[w:West Bank|West Bank]] towns until the [[w:Palestinian|Palestinian]] leadership begins disarming terrorists more effectively. The announcement comes in addition to the killing of two Palestinian youths by an Israeli army unit, an action that has been labeled a violation of their February 8 ceasefire.

In [[w:Beit Lahia|Beit Laqia]], a crowd of about 300 Palestinian protesters was demonstrating Wednesday against the ongoing construction of the [[w:Israeli West Bank barrier|West Bank barrier]]. When some Israeli soldiers arrived in two jeeps, the Palestinians began throwing stones at them. According to the Israeli army, a unit of six soldiers tried to disperse the crowd, probably using tear gas and rubber bullets, before firing warning shots with real bullets. Finally some soldiers opened fire, killing two protesters, according to witnesses and doctors.
The officer in charge was removed from active duty pending an investigation. "The company commander was suspended in light of errors -- both in the way he conducted himself and in the way in which he led his force," an army representative said.
Several breaches of the peace have occurred since the ceasefire was agreed between Israeli Prime Minister [[w:Ariel Sharon|Ariel Sharon]] and Palestinian President [[w:Mahmoud Abbas|Mahmoud Abbas]] at the [[w:Sharm el-Sheikh Summit of 2005|Sharm el-Sheikh Summit]] in February. Israel has already withdrawn from two of five towns it agreed earlier: first [[w:Jericho|Jericho]], then [[w:Tulkarm|Tulkarm]] (see map). Both Israel and the [[w:United States|United States]] have repeatedly demanded that the militants be disarmed.
Israeli Military Intelligence Chief Major General Aharon Ze'evi expressed on Thursday his view that the Palestinians were gradually bringing the militants under control. "As far as I know, the Palestinians have completed gathering the weapons of wanted militants in Jericho". Ze'evi explained that Abbas does not want to use force in a crackdown against [[w:Hamas|Hamas]], because of their popularity in the West Bank as a competing power with the Palestine National Authority of Abbas.
Both an unnamed local Palestinian official and a militant in Tulkarm, Mohammed Shahada of the [[w:Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades|Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades]], have confirmed that militants in Tulkarm agreed to possibly hand over their weapons in return for jobs in the Palestinian police or government, according to the ''Associated Press''.

{{date|May 6, 2005}}{{Australian immigration policies}}
Australian Prime Minister [[w:John Howard|John Howard]] has made a qualified apology to an Australian citizen who was deported to the Philippines in 2001. The woman, who was born in the Philippines, is yet to be located.
"I am very sorry if anything unfair has happened in relation to that and on the face of it that does appear to be the case," Mr Howard said.
The woman had come into contact with New South Wales police after a car accident. Speaking but little English, she was then sent to the Philippines consulate in Brisbane, Queensland. She was then deported by immigration officials, in 2001. In 2003 they became aware that she was listed in Queensland as a missing person.
A marriage to an Australian man had broken down, and the lady was believed to be suffering from a mental illness. According to the National Survey of Mental Health and Well Being (1997), one in five Australian adults meet at least one criteria for mental disorder.
Parallels have been drawn between this incident and the case of [[w:Cornelia Rau|Cornelia Rau]], an Australian citizen who spent 10 months in immigration detention, including 3 months in solitary confinement at [[w:Baxter Immigration Reception and Processing Centre|Baxter Detention Centre]], before her identity was revealed.
The Department of Immigration Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA), responsible for both cases, has left unanswered a question raised in Parliament in February, concerning the number who had been wrongfully detained within its system of mandatory detention. The answer was due on April 8, according to Greens Senator Kerry Nettle.
DIMIA indicated in February last year, that over the previous year (2003—2004), 33 people who were lawfully in Australia, had been detained and then released.

On the same day that the [[w:Yad Vashem|Yad Vashem]] Holocaust History Museum was opened this year, a lesser-known museum and educational center was opened by a [[w:Muslim|Muslim]] man in the [[w:Israel|Israeli]] town of [[w:Nazareth|Nazareth]]. This unique museum, intended to raise awareness of past Jewish suffering in the eyes of Palestinians through historical photographs and Arabic-language educational materials, is believed to be the first-ever Arab [[w:The Holocaust|holocaust]] museum.
Nazareth is of course well-known to Christians as the site where [[w:Saint Joseph|Joseph]] and [[w:Mary, the mother of Jesus|Mary]] brought up the child [[w:Jesus|Jesus]]. In modern times, Nazareth is the largest Arab town in Israel, having many self-proclaimed Palestinians, a Muslim majority, and a 35% Arab-Christian minority.

<tr><td><font color="#333355">From the Buchenwald concentration camp</font></td></tr>
</table>
The museum's owner Khaleed Mahameed, a 43-year old lawyer, husband, and father of two, said that he learned about the holocaust during his time at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He spent about 20,000 [[w:New Israeli sheqel|shekels]] (US$4,500) of his own money in order to create the museum, despite the alienation of his own brother, the rejection of the Arab news media, and a public that is slow to accept his ideas.
Mahameed purchased about 80 photographs from the more well-known museum at Yad Vashem in [[w:Jerusalem|Jerusalem]], site of Israel's national memorial to the ''Shoah'' (holocaust), located on the ''Har Hazikaron'' (Mount of Remembrance). The newly enlarged Israeli museum at Yad Vashem, opened March 15 with the attendance of President [[w:Moshe Katsav|Moshe Katsav]], replaced what was the world's first holocaust museum, established in 1972.
As part of his effort to educate Palestinians, Mahameed has printed 2,000 booklets in Arabic describing photographs of [[w:Nazi|Nazi]] horrors, offered stipends to Arab students of the subject, and started a new museum website ([http://www.alkaritha.org Alkaritha.org]) with some translations offered in English, Arabic, and Hebrew.
Mahameed believes contributions such as his are necessary to the Mideast peace effort. Said Mahameed:
<blockquote>
<p>"Understanding this and the fact that personal security is perhaps the major concern of Jews in Israel and elsewhere, as a direct outcome of the
Holocaust and the feelings of persecution, is extremely important.
<p>"If we, as Arabs, can dissipate these concerns and show understanding over what happened it will help create the climate for real dialogue in which Israeli Jews and especially decision-makers will be able to have a greater understanding of the suffering of Arab citizens and the Palestinians.
<p>"This, in turn, would hopefully lead towards a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and an end to discriminatory policies towards Arab citizens and the acceptance that they deserve equal rights."
</blockquote>
Mahameed is not without his critics, not only among Arabs who say that Mahameed should do more to draw attention to the situation of present-day Palestinians, but also representatives of the Israel office of the Jewish [[w:Anti-Defamation League|Anti-Defamation League]] (ADL), who have stated without visiting the museum that they consider some of the attitudes expressed on Mahameed's website to be [[w:Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]].
According to an ADL press release dated March 20:
<blockquote>
<p>"The establishment of the first Holocaust museum for the Arabic-speaking public can be an important first step in educating the Arab world on the unique horrors of the destruction of European Jewry.
<p>"Particularly now, at a time when Holocaust denial is rife both within and outside of the Arab world, the attempt to teach young Arabs about the Holocaust and to learn moral and ethical lessons from it is a worthy pursuit.
<p>"If however, the Arab Institute for Holocaust Research and Education is, as noted on its Web site, ideologically grounded in the belief that it was the Palestinian people who paid the price for European guilt over the Holocaust by imposing what they believe is an illegitimate Jewish state in the heart of the Arab world then the institute will merely propagate the classic anti-Israel use of the Holocaust and promote anti-Semitism."
</blockquote>
Friday was ''[[w:Yom HaShoah|Yom Hashoah]]'', or Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, a day of solemn reflection on the loss of 5 to 7 million Jewish lives due to unprovoked Nazi aggression in World War II. Images, films and documentaries of the Holocaust are typically broadcast throughout the Israeli news media on that day, deeply affecting the survivors and their children.
However, these images do not typically reach a Palestinian audience, according to museum visitor Mufeed Khattib last month. "Perhaps I didn't see it well because it was on Israeli TV," he said. "But this affects me. It is different for me that an Arab man did this."

'''[[Wikinews:2005/May/10|May 10]], [[Wikinews:2005|2005]]'''
__NOTOC__
With a less than an impressive outcome from the Leadership Debate, the ruling [[w:British Columbia Liberal Party|British Columbia Liberal Party]] came out with a very aggressive strategy over the weekend, stalking the campaign of rival [[w:New Democratic Party of British Columbia|New Democratic Party of British Columbia]] (NDP).
In a clear shift of tactics away from promoting their economic record as deserving a second term in office, the [[w:Gordon Campbell|Gordon Campbell]] campaign told voters in Mission that an NDP government would be a return to the days of premier [[w:Glen Clark|Glen Clark]], who led the province during an economic downturn. "Do you really want the old Glen Clark gang back in the cabinet room?" Campbell asked a crowd of supporters.
A radio debate had all three candidates before the voters again, but without the open debate format which seemed to give Campbell difficulty in the televised debate. Working to support Green leader [[w:Adrienne Carr|Adrienne Carr's]] attacks on NDP leader [[w:Carole James|Carole James]], Campbell's strategy was likely to split the more liberal voters.
James and the NDP have responded that the Liberals must be feeling nervous, or frustrated, since they've abandoned campaigning on their record in favour of a negative campaign. "I think we've struck a chord. He's trying to fight the 2001 election. I'm making sure that the voters have an opportunity to look at his record."
=== Background ===
The province of [[w:British Columbia|British Columbia]] will hold general elections May 17, 2005.
The ruling Liberal party swept into office in 2001, winning 77 of 79 legislative ridings and forming their first government since 1953. In the process they reduced the former ruling party to 2 seats, primarily on a series of leadership scandals and the [[w:FastCat Fiasco|FastCat Fiasco]].

The Republic of the [[w:Marshall Islands|Marshall Islands]] (RMI) is petitioning for $3 billion in additional compensation from the U.S. government, after receiving $270 million in an agreement which expired in 2001.
The U.S. government performed a series of 67 [[w:nuclear testing|tests of nuclear weapons]] in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958. Fallout from the testing is claimed to have affected some of the island's near 60,000 inhabitants. "We're finding people on remote islands with high percentages of cancers," said RMI Foreign Minister [[w:Gerald Zackios|Gerald Zackios]].
A report last year from the U.S. National Cancer Institute estimated that about 530 total cancers could appear, almost double the amount currently known.
The U.S. government disagrees over which islands were affected by the testing. Also, U.S. agencies have concluded that there is no further legal requirement for compensation above what has already been provided, unless the situation changes substantially.
The government of the Marshall Islands plans to "work tirelessly together to make certain that the nuclear issue is settled in a fair and just manner", said RMI President Kessai Note.
Both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate plan to hold hearings on the claim as soon as May 25.

A Malaysian woman and her three year old daughter were released from [[w:Villawood Detention Centre|Villawood Detention Centre]] on bridging visas yesterday after media coverage in Australia and Malaysia. Naomi Long, who recently turned three, was born in the Centre. Her mother, Virginia Long, was detained after trying to leave Australia on a false passport four years ago.
The plight of the young girl was revealed on ABC Radio's PM program on March 5. Michael Dudley, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Sydney Children's Hospital who has visited the mother and daughter, spoke on the program of the importance of children mixing with others their own age, and the harm that prolonged detention was doing to Naomi.
"I mean that's crucial to social development and emotional development in children and also, a sense of identity development and so on. She doesn't have that opportunity and she's also basically been brought up in prison, but in a highly abnormal environment with highly distressed people. It's not an environment conducive to child development," he said.
According to refugee advocate group ChilOut there are currently 28 children detained at Villawood, and 68 across all [[w:Australian immigration detention facilities|immigration detention facilities]]. The Federal Opposition Leader [[w:Kim Beasley|Kim Beasley]] has called for all children to be released.
"Kids don't belong in detention, full stop," he said.
According to ABC Online, Federal Liberal backbencher Petro Georgiou intends to introduce a private members bill against long-term [[w:Mandatory Detention in Australia|mandatory detention]], and detention of women and children. Prime Minister [[w:John Howard|John Howard]] has indicated that he is mindful of the need for compassion, but he does not support a conscience vote.
"Mandatory detention is not a matter of conscience. It is a Government policy," Mr Howard was quoted as saying. Howard has been a staunch supporter of hardline immigration and asylum policies since the mid 80's.

{{European Union}}
The German Bundesrat ("federal council") voted to approve the [[w:European Union|European Union's]] drafted constitution on Friday. Only the government of the state [[w:Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania|Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania]] abstained from voting. All of the other 15 states voted to approve the treaty. A French referendum to be held on Sunday is hovering on the edge of rejecting the constitution. If it does, and if the Netherlands rejects it next week as expected, that could destroy the chances of the constitution's acceptance.
All 25 member states of the European Union have to approve the constitution for it to take effect. France's support is considered key. The most recent poll on Friday indicates 48% in favor and 52% against.
Supporters say that it will unify Europe, break down internal barriers, and give the EU more strategic power in the world against American interests and other growing international alliances. Germany strongly supported the bill to prevent future European wars, and because Germany has the largest population in the EU which would give it certain political advantages.
Opponents in France are concerned about the possible effect on their country's already double-digit rate of unemployment, as lower-paid foreign workers enter the country and increase competition. They also worry about a decline of national sovereignty and lack of democratic control over European institutions.
Former French President [[w:Valéry Giscard d'Estaing|Valéry Giscard d'Estaing]], who led the committee that drafted the constitution, pleaded for its acceptance. On Friday he made a speech in the German [[w:Bundesrat|Bundesrat]], saying, "The day after tomorrow, I hope with all my heart, the French will in their turn ratify the constitution in a referendum. Ratification by Germany and France would mark an historic step forward for the future of the constitution and for Europe."
Rejection would be a major setback for the French leadership under President [[w:Jacques Chirac|Jacques Chirac]], who is pushing acceptance of the constitution.
Nine nations have already ratified the constitution, including Germany. No countries have rejected the constitution so far.

A new history textbook for middle schools has been written by a committee of 54 scholars from Japan, China, and South Korea. It is believed to be the first time these nations have worked together to produce a common history.
Work began in March 2002 in the Chinese city of Nanjing. Eleven committee meetings were needed to work through the more controversial parts.
Chinese authorities have complained in recent years about [[w:Japanese history textbook controversies|Japanese history textbooks]], and anti-Japanese movements took place in China last month. They argue that the textbooks whitewash Japan's historical record of war aggression in the past century. The new 249-page textbook devotes more than 60 pages to discussion of Japan's invasion of Korea and China in World War II, and wartime atrocities committed by the Japanese.
Some of the more controversial subjects include:
* The [[w:Nanjing Massacre|Nanjing Massacre]] or "Rape of Nanking", the looting, rape, and mass killings committed by the Japanese in [[w:Nanjing|Nanjing]], China.
* The Korean fight for independence
* Forced suicide in Okinawa
* The Japanese army's use of [[w:comfort women|"comfort women"]], mostly Koreans who claim they were forced to serve as sex slaves in brothels run by the military
* [[w:Unit 731|Unit 731]], one of several secret military medical units that researched biological warfare using human beings as experimental subjects, killing at least 3,000 of them.
This subject matter, called "dark history" by some, has been addressed by various [[w:Excerpts from government-approved Japanese history textbooks|Japanese history textbooks]] in the past decades. How the textbooks address or fail to address these subjects continues to be controversial both within and outside of Japan.
Starting in 1965, educator and dissident [[w:Ienaga Saburo|Ienaga Saburo]] brought three lawsuits against the constitutionality of the Japanese Ministry of Education approval process. For about 30 years, Saburo's lawsuits against government censorship continued, enjoying the support of thousands of Japanese educators and winning partial success.
Japanese schools have their [[w:Market share of government-approved Japanese history textbooks|choice of textbooks]] approved by the Ministry of Education. One controversial revisionist textbook was rejected in 2002 by almost all school districts in Japan.
In a ceremony on Thursday to celebrate the publication of the new textbook in South Korea, President Roh Moo-hyun said, "History is a window to the future. When the peoples of Korea, China and Japan together have the correct perception of history, peace and coexistence of the Northeast Asian era can be realized."
The common history book, titled "History to Open the Future", is available in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. The scholars have urged Japanese middle schools to adopt the textbook.

On Thursday, May 26, [[Amnesty International]] urged foreign governments to investigate high-level U.S. government officials for human rights violations committed in [[Afghanistan]], [[Iraq]], and [[Guantanamo Bay]], [[Cuba]]. William Schulz, the executive director of the U.S. branch of Amnesty International, said that governments have an obligation under international law to conduct investigations into alleged human rights violations.
Amnesty International released a list, which Schulz read in his speech: [[w:Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] [[Donald Rumsfeld]], former [[CIA]] Director [[w:George Tenet|George Tenet]], [[w:Ricardo Sanchez|Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez]], [[w:Geoffrey Miller|Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller]], former commander of US forces in Iraq and current commander of the [[w:Joint Task Force Guantanamo|Joint Task Force Guantanamo]], and [[w:Douglas Feith|Douglas Feith]], the [[w:Under Secretary|Under Secretary]] of Defense for Policy.
Schulz said:
:''"The refusal of the U.S. government to conduct a truly independent investigation into the abuses at Abu-Gharib and other detention centers is tantamount to a white-wash, if not a cover-up of these disgraceful events. It is a failure of leadership to prosecute only enlisted soldiers and a few officers while protecting those who designed a deliberate government policy of torture and authorized interrogation techniques that constitute torture or cruel and degrading human treatment. The government investigation must climb all the way to the top of the military and civilian chains of command. If the U.S. government continues to shirk their responsibility, Amnesty International calls on '''foreign''' governments to investigate senior U.S. officials. If those investigations support prosecution, the governments should arrest any official who enters their territory and begin legal proceedings against them,"''
In 1998, General [[w:Augusto Pinochet|Pinochet]] of [[Chile]] was arrested in London after a Spanish judge issued an international arrest warrant. Schulz claims that similar measures could apply to members of the current U.S. administration such as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld or [[w:Attorney General|Attorney General]] [[Alberto Gonzales]].
[[w:White House|White House]] [[w:Press Secretary|Press Secretary]] [[w:Scott McClellan|Scott McClellan]] has described recent criticisms of the United States regarding alleged human rights abuses as "unsupported by the facts."
President Bush, in a press conference on Tuesday, was asked about Amnesty International's report. The president said:
<blockquote>"I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd. It's an absurd allegation. The United States is a country that is — promotes freedom around the world. When there's accusations made about certain actions by our people, they're fully investigated in a transparent way. It's just an absurd allegation.
<p>"In terms of the detainees, we've had thousands of people detained. We've investigated every single complaint against the detainees. It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of — and the allegations — by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble — that means not tell the truth. And so it was an absurd report. It just is."</blockquote>

Helen Clark (Prime Minister) and Don Brash (Leader of the Opposition) have gone head-to-head in the first live televised debate between the two leaders in the [[New Zealand]] general election of 2005.
A studio audience contained equal numbers of National and Labour Party supporters.
The debate ran through tax, race relations, foreign affairs, immigration, education and health (all the key policy areas).
Taxes were at the top of the agenda; the debate was just hours after the National Party released their tax policy.
Don Brash said that the nuclear freeze policy of New Zealand (which bans nuclear powered US warships from its ports) and Helen Clark's criticism of the war in [[Iraq]] have both contributed to her failure to secure a free-trade pact with the [[United States]].
Helen Clark was confident and aggressive and she often forced Don Brash into defensive explanations of National's policies.

[[w:Don Brash|Don Brash]], leader of the opposition [[w:New Zealand National Party|National Party]] in [[w:New Zealand|New Zealand]], admitted that he was aware that members of the [[w:Exclusive Brethren|Exclusive Brethren]] church were going to release contentious brochures attacking his political rivals. Mr Brash said he had met members of the church a number of times. He has admitted today that he was aware of the group's intention to publish brochures that were critical of the [[w:New Zealand Labour Party|Labour Party]] and [[w:Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand|The Greens]]. A spokesman for the Group admitted to having spent NZ$500,000 on the campaign so far.
The pamphlets were published without the link to the Church being obvious. However, former members of the Church identified the men as belonging to the church which has been described as a sect. The Exclusive Brethren are a closed order. Its members are not allowed to listen to Radio, Television or use computers at all. There are approximately 2000 members in New Zealand and active branches in the US and Australia. They are linked to political support for [[w:George Bush|George Bush]] and other conservative politicians.

There is a little under an hour to go until polls close in the 2005 [[w:New Zealand|New Zealand]] General Election.
Both National leader [[w:Don Brash|Don Brash]] and the Prime Minister [[w:Helen Clark|Helen Clark]] (Labour) have already cast their votes.
Nearly three million people are eligible to vote.
Turnout has been strong, and turnout results are predicted to be higher than the 2002 turnout (77%).
Under New Zealand's [[w:Mixed Member Proportional|MMP]] system, parties must win either an electorate seat or 5% of the party vote to win seats in the 120-seat parliament.

[[Saddam Hussein]], deposed president of Iraq, was executed shortly after 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning local time (0300 GMT) after he was [[w:Capital punishment|sentenced to death]] by an [[w:Iraq|Iraqi]] court for [[w:Crimes against humanity|crimes against humanity]]
Three Iraqi television channels first reported that Saddam Hussein was executed by hanging as ordered after a U.S. judge refused to stop the execution in a last-ditch attempt by the defendant late Friday.
Saddam had been found guilty of killing more than 148 members of the [[w:Shiite|Shiite]] population. Witnesses to the execution gathered at the execution site, Baghdad’s "Green Zone." BBC News 24, however, has reported that the execution took place outside the "Green Zone", at a building known to the US Army as "Camp Justice".
"Saddam's body is in front of me," said an official in the prime minister's office. "It's over." The witness reported that celebrations broke out after Hussein was dead and that there was "dancing around the body."
Iraqi state television has shown Saddam going to his death and then his lifeless body after his death.
The executions of Hussein's half-brother Barzan Ibrahim Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, president of the Revolutionary Iraqi Court, were postponed to a later date. Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie announced this move, saying, "We wanted to have this day to have a historic distinction."
On CNN, Saddam's [[w:Defence attorney|defence attorney]] alleged that the trial was "unfair" and that he and his co-counsel would fight for justice in Iraqi courts.
[[w:Tikrit|Tikrit]], the town Saddam hid out in until his capture in late 2003 is under lockdown for 4 days due to the threat of violence. Coalition forces within Iraq are on high alert for possible retaliation attacks. On Sunday, Hussein was buried in the village of Ouja right outside of Tikrit.
US President [[w:George W. Bush|George W. Bush]] released a statement commemorating the former dictator's death but also warned that roadside bombs and other routine acts of violence will not suddenly end with his execution: "Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq but it is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a [[w:democracy|democracy]] that can govern, sustain, and defend itself, and be an ally in the [[w:War on Terror|War on Terror]]."
Meanwhile, many European nations appreciated Hussein facing justice but deplored the death penalty. "The [[w:European Union|European Union]] has a very consistent stand... on opposing the death penalty and it should not have been applied in this case either, even though there is no doubt about Saddam Hussein's guilt over serious violations against human rights," said Erkki Tuomioja, Finnish Foreign Minister and the current President of the European Union. Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, among others, also voiced a similar sentiment. The Vatican said that capital execution is always tragic news, even if it is about a person who has been guilty of grave crimes.

[[Image:Alan johnston bbc.jpg|thumb|right|[[Alan Johnston|Alan Johnston]] in an undated BBC photo]]
[[w:Hamas|Hamas]] has begun to use force to release captured [[w:BBC news|BBC news]] reporter [[Alan Johnston|Alan Johnston]]. Hamas also plans to release ten of its soldiers who were captured on Monday.
Johnston was kidnapped in [[w:Gaza City|Gaza City]] on March 12, and has since been kept in captivity by a group calling itself ''[[w:Army of Islam (Gaza Strip)|The Army of Islam]]''. Despite mounting diplomatic pressure from Hamas and the [[w:British Government|British Government]], Johnston has not yet been released.
The actions by Hamas come after reports that The Army of Islam planned to capture more journalists in order to strengthen their position, bargaining for the release of [[w:Iraq|Iraqi]] Sajeda Rishawi, imprisoned in [[w:Jordan|Jordan]].
Hamas' armed division is reported to have surrounded the neighbourhood of [[w:Sabra|Sabra]] in Gaza, taking control of the suburb. The Army of Islam has threatened to kill Johnston should any rescue attempt be made using force. One civilian fatality has been reported as a result of the fighting between Hamas militants and The Army of Islam.
However, a spokesperson for Hamas said, "This operation is not aimed at freeing Johnston," suggesting the primary objective is freeing its own men.

<!-- Old ticker <div id="showticker" style="padding: .5em; height: 20px; margin-left: 2em;"></div>--><noinclude>
This is a template to include the ticker. It makes including a ticker for the standard case (Displaying last published articles one at a time) easier. If you want to do something really funky/weird/unusual with the ticker system, see the comments in [[mediawiki:ticker2.js]] or ask [[user:Bawolff]].
This is using the second incarnation of the ticker system.
Basic usage: {{tl|ticker|2=Africa}} displays all published articles in Category:Africa. {{tl|ticker}} displays the latest published news. See [[User:Bawolff/sandbox/ticker]] for more funky examples of the ticker (ex. picture slideshow).
==Parameters==
*multiple=
**needed if more then one ticker on page
**if not specified defaults to single
**''single'' means one ticker
**''first'' is for first if more then one ticker
**''other'' is for others not called first
*engine=
**engine type
**''fade'' (slightly buggy on some browsers)
**''std'' (default)
**''none''
*cat1= (or first unamed parameter)
**category name to make ticker more specific (for example ''Africa'')
*speed=
**as decimal (0.1 = 1/10th, 2 = 2x, etc)
*customSrc=
**list of ticker items
*options=
**extra ticker options or class. see [[mediawiki:ticker2.js]]
*left_text=, right_text=, link_text=, link=
** change the intro string. left is normal text to left, right is to the right, link_text in middle
**text is urlencoded so no need to escape anything (use ''options='' if you need to encode a plus sign)
**link is local page name (ex ''Main_Page''). '''replace spaces with underscore (_)'''

In a comeback after two years of inactivity due to [[w:stress fracture|stress fractures]] and becoming a mother, world record holder [[w:Paula Radcliffe|Paula Radcliffe]] from the [[United Kingdom]] has won the [[w:New York City Marathon#2007|New York City marathon]] today. After leading the women's race almost all the way, she managed to shake off [[Ethiopia]]n [[w:Gete Wami|Gete Wami]], who challenged her in the last mile. Third finished winner of previous two New York City marathons [[w:Jelena Prokopcuka|Jelena Prokopcuka]] from [[Latvia]]. The men's race was also a duel, but [[w:Martin Lel|Martin Lel]] from [[Kenya]] managed to repeat his victory over [[w:Abderrahim Goumri|Abderrahim Goumri]] from [[Morocco]] from the [[w:London marathon|London marathon]] last April.
Radcliffe, 33, said that she had to think of her baby to keep up her pace: "I just kept repeating to myself 'I love you Isla' to keep my rhythm going." The elite runner has now won all seven marathons she has competed in, and has qualified for the upcoming [[w:2008 Summer Olympics|Beijing Olympics of 2008]], where she will try to rectify the forfeit from the [[w:2004 Summer Olympics|2004 summer Olympics in Athens]].
Wami, who had just successfully defended her title in the Berlin marathon five weeks ago, still managed to take home the US$500,000 prize for winning the [[w:World Marathon Majors|World Marathon Majors]], a contest that spanned major races over the last two years (New York City, Boston, Chicago, London and Berlin).
In an interview just after finishing, Radcliffe expressed her grief over [[w:Ryan Shay|Ryan Shay]], who died yesterday during the [[United States|U.S.]] men's marathon trials in [[w:Central Park|Central Park]], by calling it "a tragedy, and it puts everything into perspective." Apparently Shay had a preexistent large heart, and died from a massive heart attack.

[[w:Prime Minister of Finland|Prime Minister]] of [[Finland]] [[w:Matti Vanhanen|Matti Vanhanen]] told reporters at a Wednesday press conference that a board of inquiry formed to investigate the [[Jokela school shooting]] will now also look into how the media conducted itself reporting the incident. The move is understood to be a response to a petition initiated by young local residents.
Over 2,000 people have signed the petition both in the area and on the internet. The petition alleges that survivors and victims relatives were 'harassed' by reporters in the aftermath of the shooting, which saw nine people shot dead at Jokela High School, including the gunman. The youths demand a public apology.
"[[w:Tuija Brax|Tuija Brax]], the justice minister, will set up a board of inquiry to investigate the Jokela tragedy and the role of the media will be included in this inquiry," Vanhanen told reporters. He went on to express that he valued the document and felt it warranted summoning several other ministers. However, he stressed the view that his government should not attempt to control the press.
Representatives of the media had earlier responded to the allegations by saying that although they deny the allegations, they are not surprised by them. However, both the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare, and the Ombudsman for Children in Finland, Maria Kaisa Aula, have expressed their support for the Jokela youth, although Aula has commented that she believes most of the reporters did act 'ethically'.

[[Image:Jokela school November 8th.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Jokela School, the scene of the [[w:Jokela school shooting|shooting]]]]
The [[Finland|Finnish]] [[w:Keskusrikospoliisi|National Bureau of Investigation]] yesterday released 600 pages of the 2,000 page final report into the [[Jokela school shooting]]. 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen opened fire at [[W:Jokela High School|Jokela High School]], killing eight before turning his gun on himself, receiving fatal wounds.
The remaining 1,400 pages of the report are to remain confidential. The public section reveals a number of problems that may have impacted on Auvinen's decision to conduct the attack, but says that police failed to find any conclusive motive. Also released was an animation depicting events at the school.
The report says Auvinen had been bullied since the age of ten and concludes the extent of this problem was greater than previously thought. Auvinen suffered from anxiety and blushing, especially in lessons, and had been diagnosed with a panic disorder, for which he had been prescribed medication. Auvinen also suffered from sleep disorders and loneliness, and had few friends, although one former bully did go on to become a good friend of Auvinen's. His mother said inability to settle on a suitable ideology contributed to Auvinen's depression.
His parents had noticed and reacted to the bullying problem, but their intervention only served to worsen the situation. According to entries in Auvinen's diary, he first began planning the shooting - which he gave the [[w:English language|English]] name "Operation Main Strike" - about eight months prior to actually conducting the shooting.
Auvinen had told his mother that under certain circumstances he could approve of violence. He had often viewed web sites promoting violence and had a number of online contacts whom he discussed his ideas with. One of these was a [[United States]] teen arrested for planning a similar attack, and two others discussed the [[w:Columbine High School Massacre|Columbine High School Massacre]] with him and traded videos they found online. However, there is no evidence he informed anyone of his plans until immediately prior to the attack.
[[Image:Jokela window 1.jpeg|thumb|left|250px|An interior window shot through by the killer]]
The report called Auvinen a moderately good student, but noted his mental problems had impacted his performance at school. He had been interested in politics from an early age, being involved with the [[w:Centre Party (Finland)|Centre Party]], the [[w:Social Democratic Party of Finland|Social Democratic Party]], the [[w:Left Alliance (Finland)|Left Alliance]], and the [[w:Finnish Communist Party|Finnish Communist Party]].
"In the best case, this (attack) would create massive destruction and chaos, or even a revolution," read one diary entry. "In any case, I want this to be remembered forever. Maybe I'll even have a follower; after all, I am a super-person, almost God." Another revealed he intended to "kill as many of you bastards as possible". His diary also reveals he was aware he would be dead by the end of the attack.
He obtained a .22 calliber handgun which he named Catherine, having been denied a license for a 9mm gun, and submitted his plans online - including to [[YouTube]] - just 14 minutes prior to firing his first shots, having cycled to school. It was determined that, given the time-frame, there was little that could have been done by anyone who saw the material to prevent the attack. He fired 75 shots, 50 of which struck his eight fatally wounded victims, who were apparently chosen at random. Thirteen others were injured in the event.
The deceased were six students, the school headmistress and the school nurse. Auvinen shot at each several times in the region of the head and upper torso. He ultimately shot himself in the school toilet, and died in hospital from head wounds ten hours later, having never regained consciousness.
Police could not determine why he chose the date he did, although it was noted his online relationship with a foreign girl had ended just days before. It was also determined little could be done to predict and prevent future incidents, although one measure being sought is to require medical checks for gun licences and parental consent for prospective owners under 18.
The confidential section of the report discusses causes of death and police operations.

[[w:Brenden Morrow|Brenden Morrow]] scored the game-winning goal, 9:03 into the fourth overtime, as the [[w:Dallas Stars|Dallas Stars]] defeated the [[w:San Jose Sharks|San Jose Sharks]] 2-1. The goal gave the Stars a 4-games-to-2 series win, and they advance to the Western Conference Finals, where they'll face the [[w:Detroit Red Wings|Detroit Red Wings]].
The game, which took 5 hours and 17 minutes to complete, was marked by the play of goalies [[w:Marty Turco|Marty Turco]] and [[w:Evgeni Nabokov|Evgeni Nabokov]], who combined for 114 saves.
In the second period, the Stars took a 1-0 lead with an [[w:Antti Miettinen|Antti Miettinen]] goal. However, early in the third period, [[w:Ryane Clowe|Ryane Clowe]] tied the game at 1, with a wrist shot that soared past the outstretched glove of Stars goalie [[w:Marty Turco|Marty Turco]].
As the game went into overtime, both teams fought hard for early chances. Both Turco and Nabokov turned away great chances, including a glove save by Nabokov that appeared to pull his glove above — but not over — the goal line; while the goal light briefly went off, referee [[w:Tim Peel|Tim Peel]] waved off the goal immediately. A video review confirmed that the shot was not a goal. The Stars outshot the Sharks 18-11 in the first OT.
In the second overtime period, the Sharks outshot Dallas a staggering 11-2, but Turco continued to keep the puck out of the net. A third OT hooking penalty against [[w:Nicklas Grossman|Nicklas Grossman]] gave the Sharks the first power play since the second period of regulation, but they were unable to even get a shot on goal, and did not capitalize on the man advantage
8:14 into the fourth overtime, a tripping penalty to [[w:Brian Campbell|Brian Campbell]] gave the Stars a power play. 49 seconds into the power play, forward Brenden Morrow redirected a [[w:Stephane Robidas|Stephane Robidas]] shot to the right of Nabokov, his seventh goal of the playoffs.
Turco made 61 saves on 62 shots for the win. Nabokov made 53 saves in the loss.
The game is the eighth-longest playoff game in NHL history, and the third-longest in Stars history. In 2003, the Stars were defeated by the [[w:Mighty Ducks of Anaheim|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]] in a five-overtime thriller. A 2007 game saw the Stars defeated in four overtimes by the [[w:Vancouver Canucks|Vancouver Canucks]].
Dallas avoided a deciding Game 7, which would have been held in San Jose. The Stars won the first three games of the series, but strong performances by San Jose, including a Game 5 overtime win, narrowed the series to 3-2.
=== Conference Finals matchups ===
The Stars advance to face the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Finals. Game 1 of that series is scheduled for Thursday, at [[w:Joe Louis Arena|Joe Louis Arena]] in Detroit.
The Eastern Conference Finals, meanwhile, is an all-[[Pennsylvania]] matchup, as the [[w:Pittsburgh Penguins|Pittsburgh Penguins]], who clinched their series with a 3-2 overtime victory on Sunday, face off against the rival [[w:Philadelphia Flyers|Philadelphia Flyers]]. Game 1 will be held at [[w:Mellon Arena|Mellon Arena]] in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Two web sites purporting to sell tickets to the [[w:2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Summer Olympic Games]] due to open in [[w:Beijing|Beijing]], [[China]] on Friday have been the subject of lawsuits from the [[w:International Olympic Committee|International Olympic Committee]] in [[United States]] courts in recent weeks. The web sites, beijingticketing.com and beijing-2008tickets.com, were designed to resemble official sites and often appeared above the official sites in [[w:Google|Google]] searches, and scammed some victims out of up to [[w:United States Dollar|US$]]50,000 each for tickets to events such as the Opening Ceremony and swimming, which were listed despite the official Beijing ticket web site stating that tickets to all events had sold out as of July 27. The sites are believed to have taken in millions of dollars in total.
Ken Gamble, a private investigator from [[w:Sydney|Sydney]], [[Australia]], believes the sites are operated by Terance Shepherd, whom Gamble has been tracking for several years in relation to other fraudulent web sites selling tickets to events such as the [[w:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]]. According to Gamble, Shepherd's [[wikt:modus operandi|modus operandi]] involves setting up the fake web sites, overselling the tickets, and then failing to produce the tickets. "The story's always the same," Gamble said, "it's an 'unfortunate mistake' or someone has 'let them down'. They promise a refund, which never happens, and the credit companies end up paying all the refunds." Shepherd owns a home in the [[w:London|London]] suburb of Blackheath, although authorities believe he is currently hiding in [[w:Barbados|Barbados]].
On Monday, beijingticketing.com customers received an email from someone named "Alan Scott", claiming that the site's ticket supplier had filed for bankruptcy. The email recommended that customers should contact their credit card companies to seek refunds "immediately", and said that the company would set up a call centre to provide assistance to its customers. However, the site has been shut down and a phone number previously listed on it has been disconnected. The company's address, in [[Phoenix, Arizona]], was found to be an empty office space. [[w:Visa International|Visa International]] has stated that victims who used their Visa card to pay should be able to get their money back, but it is not yet clear whether the same will apply to all customers.

== Historical? ==
This page was marked as historical by @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] in December 2025, after over four years without a proper edit. May I ask what's the reason for this mark? Is there, for example, a newer page, or is the term no longer used? [[User:Michael21107|Michael21107]] ([[User talk:Michael21107|talk]]) 01:06, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
: The page has not been updated in years. The linked lists are also outdated and some of those have also been marked as historical:
:
:* [[Wikinews:Global Networking]] was marked as ‘historical’ in 2020.
:* [[Wikinews:User directory]] was marked as 'historical' in 2021.
:
: I’m not aware of a newer page. <br> And with the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]], all pages will soon essentially become ''historical''. <br> We are [[Wikinews:2026 Wind-down Wikinews|winding down the project]] now while some are working on a [[m:Migration of Wikinews and future hosts|hail mary]]. You are welcome to contribute to either or both efforts.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 01:40, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you. I think this topic may've been posted before I noticed (it appeared?) the big banner announcing the closure. [[User:Michael21107|Michael21107]] ([[User talk:Michael21107|talk]]) 19:37, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

[[Australia]]'s [[w:Allan Davis|Allan Davis]] won the [[w:2009 Tour Down Under|2009 Tour Down Under]] professional road cycling race.
Sprint specialist Davis completed Sunday's final stage in the main pack to maintain the lead he had built up in time bonuses from sprint wins earlier in the race.
122 cyclists completed the six day race around a circuit starting and ending at [[w:Adelaide|Adelaide]], South Australia.
American cyclist [[w:Lance Armstrong|Lance Armstrong]] also participated in the race, his first professional bike race since the 2005 [[w:Tour de France|Tour de France]]. It is not clear if the seven-time Tour de France winner intended to compete for the general classification, but he did make an unsuccessful breakaway on Sunday in pursuit of a stage victory. Despite several attacks over the week, Armstrong placed 29th in the general classification.

According to the [[w:United States Geological Survey|United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) a major [[w:Moment magnitude scale|moment magnitude]] 6.3 earthquake has struck Central [[Italy]] at 3:32 a.m. local time with a 4.8 aftershock about an hour after. Earlier reports from the USGS had said the quake was a 6.7. Italy's National Institute of Geophysics registered the quake at a [[w:Richter magnitude scale|Richter magnitude]] of 5.8.
[[File:2009_IT_Quake.png|left|200px|thumb|The marker shows the epicenter of the earthquake.{{image credit|1=[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.370000000000005&lon=13.405000000000001&zoom=9&layers=B000FTFTT&mlat=42.370&mlon=13.405 OpenStreetMap]}} ]]The [[w:epicenter|epicenter]] was registered 95 kilometres (60 miles) Northeast of Italy's capital of [[w:Rome, Italy|Rome]]. It registered a depth of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles). At least nine aftershocks, with the highest being a magnitude 4.8, have shaken the area since the initial earthquake.
At least 150 people have been killed in the region and officials say the death toll is likely to rise. According to the RAI (Italian public broadcasting service) and press agencies, at least 1,500 people have been injured. No less than six people, four children, and an elderly woman, are reported to have been killed in a building collapse in [[w:L'Aquila|L'Aquila]], where most of the shaking was felt and at least six students are trapped beneath the rubble of a partially collapsed college dormitory. The USGS says nearly 70,000 people live in L'Aquila, with hundreds of thousands more people residing in the surrounding areas.
Several buildings are reported to be collapsed or damaged in the city, including a church and school. The [[w:BBC News|BBC]] reports the area as "hard hit." BNOnews reports that there are thousands of buildings damaged or collapsed in the region. Reports say as many as 50,000 houses and buildings have been destroyed, leaving thousands of people homeless. The mayor of L'Aquila, [[w:It:Massimo Cialente|Massimo Cialente]], declared that Onna fraction, a small conglomerate of houses near the capital of [[w:Abruzzo|Abruzzo]], was completely destroyed.
Prime Minister [[w:Silvio Berlusconi|Silvio Berlusconi]] has declared a state of emergency for the region, and is returning to Italy to coordinate the relief operations. The Minister of the Interior, [[w:Roberto Maroni|Roberto Maroni]], is also travelling to L'Aquila to offer collaboration from the government.
[[Israel|Israeli]] Foreign Minister [[w:Avigdor Lieberman|Avigdor Lieberman]] contacted Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini to offer the assistance of Israel's [[w:Bahad 16|natural disaster SAR teams]].
This is the deadliest quake in Italy since November 23, 1980, when nearly 3,000 people were killed in a [[w:1980 Irpinia earthquake|magnitude 6.8 earthquake that struck Southern Italy]] in the [[w:Irpinia|Irpinia]] region. At least 10,000 were injured with over 300,000 being left homeless.

The President of [[Venezuela]], [[Hugo Chávez]], announced on Tuesday that "We will freeze relations with Colombia." He attributed the decision to "new aggression by the government of Colombia." Further, he said, "I've ordered to withdraw our ambassador from Bogota, to withdraw our diplomatic personnel."
This diplomatic move follows claims by [[Colombia]] that amongst weapons its military has captured from the [[w:Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia|Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia]] (FARC) are [[w:AT4|AT4]] anti-tank rockets manufactured by [[w:Saab Bofors Dynamics|Saab Bofors Dynamics]] of [[Sweden]]. Colombia further alleges that the weapons were first sold to Venezuela before being given to the FARC.

"This is not the first time that this happens," Colombian Vice-President [[w:Francisco Santos Calderón|Francisco Santos]] said. "In several operations in which we have recovered weapons from the FARC, we have found powerful munitions and powerful equipment, including anti-tank weapons, from a European country that sold them to Venezuela and that turned up in the hands of the FARC."
"It is correct that they have found these weapons to be Swedish-made," said Jens Eriksson, adviser at the [[w:Ministry for Foreign Affairs (Sweden)|Swedish foreign ministry]]. "We are working together with Colombian authorities to investigate the matter further and we have contacted Venezuelan authorities to clear up how these arms ended up in Colombia."
Venezuela denies the allegations. "To me it seems that this is a new attack against our government based on lies," Venezuelan interior minister [[w:Tarek El Aissami|Tarek El Aissami]] said on Monday. "We absolutely deny that our government or our institutions are providing assistance to criminal and terrorist organizations. It's laughable, it sounds like a cheap film made by the American government."
Foreign minister [[w:Nicolás Maduro|Nicolás Maduro]] said that the whole thing is a campaign "to justify the presence of US bases" in Colombia.

[[File:William Pomerantz.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Photo of William Pomerantz. {{image|X PRIZE Foundation}}]]
Andreas Hornig, Wikinews contributor and team member of Synergy Moon, competitor in the {{w|Google Lunar X Prize}}, managed to interview Senior Director of Space Prizes William Pomerantz of the {{w|X PRIZE Foundation}} about the competitions, goals, and impacts via e-mail for HDTVTotal.com and Wikinews.
== Interview ==
{{WNIQ|Andreas Hornig}}'''Please introduce yourself and the Google Lunar X-Prize (GLXP)'''
{{WNI response|William Pomerantz}}My name is William Pomerantz, and I am the Senior Director of Space Prizes at the X PRIZE Foundation. In that capacity, I manage all of our space activities here at the X PRIZE, including most notably the Google Lunar X PRIZE.
The Google Lunar X PRIZE is an unprecedented international competition that is challenging and inspiring engineers and entrepreneurs from around the world to develop low-cost methods of robotic {{w|space exploration}}. By reigniting a race to the Moon, we are engaging a new generation, making lunar exploration not just a historical accomplishment but a tangible and ongoing reality. The Google Lunar X PRIZE is a competition that will award US$30 million for the first privately funded team to send a robot to the Moon. The robot is required explore the Moon by travelling 500 meters along, above, or below the lunar surface and by transmitting high definition video and high resolution photos back to Earth.
[[File:GLXP logo.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Logo of the GLXP. {{image|Google}}]]
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''Why is Google, an internet services provider, interested in philanthropic and scientific fields?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}Google believes that by setting an ambitious goal like landing on the surface of the Moon and by offering an incentive prize is a good way to both inspire the world and to incentivize the development of technologies and systems that will both allow us to explore the universe and, in so doing, improve the state of humanity in the world. As {{w|Larry Page}} said when we announced the Google Lunar X PRIZE, "science has a serious marketing problem, and I think this is the best antidote I’ve seen for that."
A few choice words from {{w|Sergey Brin}} also help explain Google's role in this endeavour: “We’re proud to sponsor the Google Lunar X PRIZE. … Google is sponsoring this PRIZE because it is really different than any other kind of corporate sponsorship that I’ve seen. It’s really going to accomplish something very, very impressive. ... We hope to have helped make private space flight more viable. Efforts like this will stimulate a passion for space-related research and education in a new generation of potential innovators. ... One of the things that really exited me about this project is how it can help with education. I mean, space really fascinates college students, and I think this will inspire a lot of interest in space, in the physics that surrounds it, the math, and the history of the space programs. I think all the interest and attention on this prize is going to be very beneficial to the education of our children. We’re hopeful that our sponsorship of the Lunar X PRIZE will help spark a new generation’s interest in the fields of math, science, and computer science, which should ultimately prove quite beneficial to both the international workforce in general and Google in particular.”" (WP)
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''One of the tasks the GLXP-teams have to do is to capture and stream videos in {{w|High-definition video|high-definition}} quality from Moon back to Earth. Why is this important?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}An important aspect of "Moon 2.0"--the new era of lunar exploration--is how participatory it is. Regardless of who wins the Google Lunar X PRIZE, millions upon millions of people all around the world will be able to experience the mission through these video streams. That's hugely important as we look to capitalize on the excitement inherent in those voyages to get people of all background more excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''What conditions do these {{w|720p}} videos have to meet? Bandwidth in space is still crucial and expensive, so high frame-rates and data-rates will be difficult to broadcast as a live stream and videos with {{w|frame-rates}} almost in still-mode aren't interesting for audiences. So what wonderful dynamic sequences can we expect? And What cameraman's and editor's dreams do you want to see come true, like color-depth, contrast (finally seeing stars on Moon images not outshined by Moon's surface) or even audio-video codec?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}We've imposed a few minimum quality guidelines upon our teams, but the majority of these decisions will be left them. We want to give them the freedom to select both the shots and the technology that best fits their mission--the design of their spacecraft or spacecrafts, the landing site they chose, the manner in which they move along or above the lunar surface, et etcetera.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''What will happen to the video and the collected data? Is there a plan to publish the video on [[YouTube]] and to integrate the photos in {{w|Google Earth|Google-Earth}}? Is this the logic expansion of {{w|Google Street View|StreetView}} to bring people to places, where really most of us won't never ever put a step?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}The video and other footage will be majorly promoted around the world. We expect that this will be a massive, global story that appeals to a huge variety of audiences, and we'll work with our partners to provide as many ways as possible for fans and for students to follow along.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''A nice little side-effect will be if one team will accomplish the secondary point to rover to one of the [[Apollo program|Apollo]] mission landing sites and capture images of the remaining relics. Wouldn't it be helpful to prove a lot of {{w|Moon landing conspiracy theories}} wrong by finding and showing these relics? This will definitely influence the search rates of this topic on Google.
And how do you achieve conservation of these almost sacred monuments of human accomplishment and not contaminating it with new tracks of landing and rover gears?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}The Google Lunar X PRIZE includes a bonus prize for revisiting the sites of previous missions to the Moon--including not only the Apollo sites, but a variety of other robotic probe landing or impact sites. This is important not just for the reasons you mention, but also carries a huge amount of scientific significance as well. This is the reason why [[NASA]] itself has already conducted one such mission, when the {{w|Apollo 12}} crew visited one of the {{w|Surveyor Program|Surveyor landers}}.
Our teams all understand that any such visit needs to be done respectfully, though. Thankfully, no one can appreciate the historical significance of the vehicles currently on the lunar surface more thoroughly than those people all around the world currently working on new lunar missions. Each of them will have enormous emotional incentives to ensure that whatever they do, they do respectfully--and, with teams relying largely on donors, corporate sponsors, and similar who are backing their missions to earn good will, they will have financial incentives as well.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''Although space-exploration has ever been an object of national prestige, the importance of international and multilateral connections are so intense that almost any big space project and mission is the result of close collaboration. The [[International Space Station]] (ISS) is on a global scale, the {{w|Ariane 5}} launcher on a European scale and even the members of GLXP-teams are working together across borders. Is it possible to connect the collected data with other already collected data, like the Japanese {{w|SELENE|SELENE-Mission}}, that Kaguya named orbiter also had a {{w|HDTV|HDTV-camera}} on board and took videos from lunar orbit, or future missions like European long term mission plan ({{w|Aurora Programme}}) and Indian and Chinese missions planed to go to the Moon? Although the teams are privately funded the scientific data should be used for the benefit of everybody and that it could be validated by the scientific community.'''
{{WNI response|WP}}The missions of the Google Lunar X PRIZE teams are indeed sure to add to the body of data used by professional and amateur scientists and engineers all around the world.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''The {{w|Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans Committee}} (Augustine Commission) last year and US President [[Barack Obama|Obama's]] speech in February changed the goals of the US space programs. Especially President Obama announced that the emphasis of private contractors should be strengthened to reduce public money in NASA and other related projects on the one side but also to encourage private enterprise to fill in the gaps (like private company [[SpaceX]] servicing the ISS with Falcon launchers). In this highly disputed way NASA should play the role of the arrowhead to do the high-level exploration and leaving ground for private business in low-level.
Way back before this was announced the GLXP was started. Did you foresee this and what could be GLXP's part in this new orientation?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}It's difficult to say where exactly the final decision will end up regarding the future of NASA's exploration programs, but one this is already clear: people on both sides of the debate are realizing that, if appropriately planned out, civil space agencies can greatly benefit from space exploration capabilities developed by private firms. To reach the ideal, most efficient situation, it's important to ensure that the capabilities being developed by these commercial firms are complementary to, rather than competitive with, what NASA and its counterparts in other nations are developing. Thankfully, this is exactly the case, and indeed, we had veterans of both NASA and [[ESA]] involved in helping us draft the rules for the Google Lunar X PRIZE. In the end, the Google Lunar X PRIZE teams will be developing a large number of systems and technologies that NASA, ESA, and other agencies can use to accomplish more of the amazing things those agencies do for less money.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''Are there special points a team can get for capturing videos in {{w|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic 3D}}? Some {{w|Mars rover|Mars rovers}} had 3D-cameras on board and even director [[James Cameron|Cameron]] is investing private money to help NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Mission to get a previously dumped 3D-camera on board the {{w|Curiosity rover}}. On the one hand side it is scientifically worth to have this for optical measurements and on the other it will provide a more realistic view to the audience. And of course YouTube offers a beta status feature to present it in adequate ways with current stereoscopic video-players. You still have time to complete it.'''
{{WNI response|WP}}Teams will likely see some important financial incentives for capturing videos in 3D, but the Google Lunar X PRIZE itself does not explicitly reward this. Recall, though, that the Google Lunar X PRIZE should be just the first step of a long and lucrative business plan for our competing teams.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''What will you do for the first successful mission? is there media-coverage planned? from [[Twitter]] feeds to live-streams and of course videos on YouTube and possible documentary distribution, besides doing a celebration party on Googleplex!
For the first moon landings the video is one of the most significant historical recordings and was broadcast all over the world, even with low resolution, noisy quality and in black-white. And some of this data was almost lost and poorly archived so that it had to be restored before being released in 720p for the 40th anniversary. How will you handle these priceless records?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}We definitely plan on a huge, real-time online presence coinciding with any Google Lunar X PRIZE attempts. Social media will play a key role.
[[Image:Redshift testdrive.png|thumb|right|200px|All-electric test drive by {{w|Cornell 100+ MPG Team}} for {{w|Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize}}]]
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''I'm a Mars enthusiast, so what will come after the successful GLXP mission? will there be a Google Mars X-Prize eventually, or will there be a logical next step like a GLXP with sample return requirement? The X-Prize Foundation announced new Categories and more competitions every year. What can we expect?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}We are currently considering a wide range of potential future space X PRIZEs. We're looking at a broad range of technologies and missions, including everything from {{w|Space debris|orbital debris}} clean up to radically more efficient launch technologies.
{{WNIQ|AH}}'''In closing, do you have a question, request or wish for our readers?'''
{{WNI response|WP}}Please, be sure to follow along with the competition and with our teams by visiting our various web properties--see below for a list. Our teams really appreciate feedback: it is great to know that there are people out there following their progress, and cheering them on!

{{date|August 28, 2010}}{{Science and technology}}
[[File:Berkeley Horizontal Logo.PNG|thumb|left|{{w|University of California, Berkeley|University of California at Berkley}} logo.]]
A group of researchers led by Terry Hazen, a senior ecologist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, have discovered a new species of {{w|microorganism}}. Hazen's team started research in May this year. Their findings were based on more than 200 samples collected from 17 deep-water sites in the Gulf of Mexico between May 25 and June 2. The new species is distinctive for its oil-consuming activity in a wide range of conditions, and is playing a role in depletion of oil spills in the area.
Scientists had been puzzled by the disappearance of oil in the aftermath of the ''Deepwater Horizon'' oil spill in the {{w|Gulf of Mexico}}. Detailed maps were made on how the spilled oil went underwater and how far it was spread; however, some of it seemed to have disappeared.
A grant from the Energy Biosciences Institute, and a partnership led by the {{w|University of California, Berkeley}} and the {{w|University of Illinois}} that is funded by a USD 500 million, 10-year grant from {{w|BP}}, was the basis for support of the research. The U.S. Department of Energy and the University of Oklahoma Research Foundation also supported it.
The field study was conducted during the first week. As Hazen said, "We deployed on two ships to determine the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of the deepwater oil plume. The oil escaping from the damaged wellhead represented an enormous carbon input to the water column ecosystem and while we suspected that hydrocarbon components in the oil could potentially serve as a carbon substrate for deep-sea microbes, scientific data was needed for informed decisions."
Sample analysis was eased because the researchers used the pocket-sized Berkeley Lab DNA sampler {{w|Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory|anchor=Scientific Achievements, Inventions, and Discoveries|PhyloChip}}. It allowed researchers to detect the presence of thousands of species of bacteria in samples from a wide range of environmental sources, without the culturing procedures usually performed in a furnished lab workplace. With the device, Hazen and his co-researchers discovered that a dominant microbe, making up 90 percent of all the bacteria in the oil plume, is a new species, closely related to members of ''Oceanospirillales'' family, more specifically ''Oleispirea antarctica'' and ''Oceaniserpentilla haliotis''.
The previous works were measuring low levels of oxygen in certain areas to detect microbes activity. Researchers thought that increased activity would lead to more aerobic activities, such as breathing, which depletes the oxygen content in water. However, the newly discovered species doesn't seem to be consuming much oxygen from the water column. The study found that oxygen saturation outside the oil plume was 67-percent, while within the plume, it was 59-percent. By Terry Hazen's words, "The low concentrations of iron in seawater may have prevented oxygen concentrations dropping more precipitously from biodegradation demand on the petroleum, since many hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes have iron as a component... There's not enough iron to form more of these enzymes, which would degrade the carbon faster but also consume more oxygen."
Analysis of changes in the oil composition as the plume extended from the wellhead pointed to faster than expected biodegradation rates with the half-life of alkanes ranging from 1.2 to 6.1 days. This microbe thrives in cold water, with temperatures in the deep recorded at 5 degrees Celsius (41 Fahrenheit).
The summer observations showed the bacteria managed to consume the oil spill relatively quickly in June. Some commenters noted that the previously released oil dispersant {{w|Corexit|COREXIT}} can have significantly eased the process of interaction of the microbes with the oil by making oil particles smaller and easier to access. As Hazen explained, "We've been out there continuously... Once the oil flow stopped on July 15, within two weeks we saw most of the plume disappear."

[[File:American Airlines MD-80 flight 577.jpg|thumb|left|174px|An [[American Airlines]] {{w|McDonnell Douglas MD-80}} jet.{{image credit|Cubbie_n_Vegas}}]]
The [[United States]] [[Federal Aviation Administration]] (FAA) announced Thursday that it planned to fine [[American Airlines]] a record US$24.2 million for flying thousands of flights that had dangerous wiring.
{{QuoteRight|We put rules and regulations in place to keep the flying public safe. [...] There can be no compromises when it comes to safety.|source=U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood}}
The fine far outstrips previous penalties, and stems from the carrier's failure to properly maintain and inspect wires bundled on {{w|McDonnell Douglas MD-80}} airplane wheel wells. The FAA says that American Airlines flew 286 of the airplanes 14,278 times without upgrading the wiring which could, if sparked, ignite the nearby fuel tanks and explode the plane. "We put rules and regulations in place to keep the flying public safe. We expect operators to perform inspections and conduct regular and required maintenance in order to prevent safety issues. There can be no compromises when it comes to safety," {{w|U.S. Department of Transportation}} Secretary {{w|Ray LaHood}} said after the fine announcement was made.
American Airlines has vowed to dispute the planned penalty, and issued a statement saying that "American Airlines has always maintained its aircraft to the highest standards, and we continue to do so. We assure our customers there was never a safety of flight issue surrounding these circumstances more than two years ago." The carrier has 30 days to appeal the fine. Airline spokesman Tim Smith also said that "there was never a flight safety issue. These events happened more than two years ago and we believe this action is unwarranted. We will challenge any proposed civil penalty. We are confident we have a strong case and the facts will bear this out."
{{QuoteLeft|There was never a flight safety issue. [...] We will challenge any proposed civil penalty.|source=American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith}}
In an Airworthiness Directive issued by the FAA to American Airlines in 2006, the airline was ordered to upgrade the wiring on the wheel wells. To comply with the order, during four days in April 2008, American grounded their MD-80 fleet and cancelled 3,100 flights to inspect their planes, causing 250,000 fliers to be stranded or disrupted. However, in later inspections, government inspectors continued to find problems with the wiring.
The largest fine the FAA has ever imposed was a USD 9.5 million penalty in 1987 on {{w|Eastern Airlines}}, also for maintenance issues. The carrier went bankrupt after paying about USD 1 million of the penalty. The largest fine planned by the FAA was a USD 10.2 million fine against {{w|Southwest Airlines}} in 2008. The airline later negotiated to reduce the penalty to USD 7.5 million.

Low-cost [[Germany|German]] [[airline]] {{w|Air Berlin}}, which recently announced that it will join the {{w|Oneworld}} airline alliance, has stated that it plans to begin code-sharing with fellow Oneworld members [[American Airlines]] and {{w|Finnair}} as early as November. The airline also said that it could begin code-sharing with [[British Airways]] and {{w|Iberia (airline)|Iberia}} in summer 2011.
"We're in concrete talks with American Airlines over code share flights that we'd like to start in November. The same applies for Finnair Oyj," Air Berlin chief executive Joachim Hunold said.
A code-share agreement with American Airlines would have a predicted "'incremental market potential' of 2.4 million passengers a year," according to {{w|Dow Jones}}. The "incremental market potential" would be an extra 1.7 million fliers a year with a code-sharing agreement.
Air Berlin accepted an invitation to join the Oneworld alliance late July. The air carrier became the first low-cost airline to join one of the three major airline alliances: {{w|Star Alliance}}, Oneworld, and {{w|SkyTeam}}. Air Berlin joined the alliance sponsored by British Airways.

[[File:Glenn Beck by Gage Skidmore 2.jpg|thumb|left|Glenn Beck in February 2010 {{image credit|[[commons:User:Gage|Gage Skidmore]]}}]]
Conservative American political commentator and {{w|Fox News}} radio and television host [[Glenn Beck]] plans a "Restoring Honor" rally for August 28 at the {{w|Lincoln Memorial}} in Washington, DC. Critics condemn choosing the 47th anniversary and same location of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "{{w|I Have a Dream}}" speech to hold the rally. Events related to King's speech will still be held in Washington, DC.
Beck and the rally's organizers say the "Restoring Honor" event is meant to recognize those "who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity, truth and honor." Criticized for holding the event on the anniversary of King's speech, Beck claims it was a scheduling coincidence and that he is trying to bring back the spirit of the civil rights movement. Civil rights activist and minister {{w|Al Sharpton}} said, "When you start saying you're going to reclaim the civil rights movement that's not even coded, that's a blatant attempt to hijack a movement that changed America."
Reverend Sharpton said in a press conference on Friday that Beck's rally goes against the intent of Martin Luther King, Jr., who advocated unity in national government. He questioned whether Beck understood the message of King's "I Have a Dream" speech, saying Beck's supporters "have the right to rally, ... what they don't have the right to do is distort what Dr. King's dream was about." Sharpton described Saturday's event as "anti-government," saying, "You can't have a march telling government to leave us alone and say you're reclaiming a march where they came to appeal to government to protect us. They're having an anti-government march on a day that King came to appeal to government. You can't have it both ways."
[[File:Martin Luther King - March on Washington.jpg|thumb|left|Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1963, giving his "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial]]
Members of the U.S. [[Tea Party movement]] say Beck's event will be bigger than last year's {{w|Taxpayer March on Washington}}, held on September 12, 2009. The "9/12" march was the first major national Tea Party demonstration, but exact attendance numbers are unknown. Jamie Radtke, who founded the Federation of Virginia Tea Party Patriots, said that Saturday's event may be twice as big as last year's, based on the number of buses that have been chartered. Organizers of the event hope to see up to 100,000 people, while Sharpton says he expects a lower turnout for his annual event to honor King's speech.
Although Beck says the "Restoring Honor" rally is not about politics, it raises questions how it may affect Republicans during November's mid-term elections. The event, which will be held from 10 a.m. EDT (1400 UTC) to 1:00 p.m. EDT (1600 UTC), is to feature speakers such as former [[Alaska]] governor [[Sarah Palin]] on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the same place where King gave his famed speech 47 years ago to the day. Beck, who called the date and location a result of "divine providence," said, "Whites don't own Abraham Lincoln. Blacks don't own Martin Luther King. Those are American icons, American ideas, and we should just talk about character, and that's really what this event is about. It's about honoring character."
Video and sound equipment will be set up along the Lincoln Memorial's reflecting pool and will stretch all the way to the {{w|Washington Monument}} for the rally. Beck, who has been promoting the event via radio and television, says that "Restoring Honor" is not meant to give a boost to candidates in this November's elections. No signs will be allowed at the rally, and no elected official presently in office will speak. In addition, a spokesperson for {{w|Republican National Committee}} Chairman {{w|Michael S. Steele}} claimed that he had no prior knowledge of Beck's rally when asked about it.
Sharpton is participating in a separate rally at an area high school to celebrate the anniversary of King's speech. He said his event will "stay way away from" Beck's event, and that "people will judge for themselves whether ["Restoring Honor"] has anything to do with civil rights." It starts at 11 a.m. {{w|EDT}} (1500 {{w|UTC}}) at {{w|Dunbar High School (Washington, D.C.)|Dunbar High School}} and includes a march to the site of a planned King memorial, which is located on the other side of the {{w|National Mall}} from the Lincoln Memorial. Sharpton has been promoting the event on his radio show, and a spokesperson said that the event had been planned in April, not as a counter-rally to "Restoring Honor."
In the past, Beck has accused US President [[Barack Obama]] of reverse racism, and Republicans may be afraid to speak up, due to the possibility of party-damaging clashes over race during the event. Democrats, however, are still labeling the event as Republican-endorsed. "Republicans for well over the past year have firmly embraced the tea party and some of these right-wing fringe groups that Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin have rallied around, and these are becoming serious campaign liabilities in the general election," a spokesperson for the {{w|Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee}} said in interview with ''{{w|The Washington Post}}''. "The fact that they're trying to plead ignorance is just completely absurd."
Conservatives, on the other hand, are saying that "Restoring Honor" is a symbol of their unity. Although it is still unclear what effect the rally will have on November elections, some voters could be drawn to support Republicans as a result, despite the controversy over the event's date.
{{w|Alveda King}}, a niece of King's, will appear at Beck's rally. She said, "The theme of the 8/28 rally is not political. We're putting honor over politics. I will not be talking about any political position or any political party. I'll simply be calling all Americans to pray, to have faith, to honor God and all humanity. I am very interested in agreeing that this is not a political event and so those expecting to be offended will not receive that kind of approach from me."
The weekend will be a beehive of activity for activists. In addition to Beck's and Sharpton's rallies, conservative group {{w|FreedomWorks}} held a convention in Washington, DC on Friday, and Democrats plan to knock on over 200,000 doors throughout the US on Saturday and Sunday.

{{date|August 30, 2010}}{{Australia}}
A new {{w|Nielsen Holdings|Nielsen poll}} has suggested that [[Australia]]n support for a republic has dropped, with one third of people surveyed claiming that they never want the country to cut its ties to the {{w|Monarchy of Australia}}, headed by the Her Majesty, [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II of Australia]].
Out of 1,400 people polled prior to the {{w|Australian federal election, 2010|2010 federal election}}, those who oppose Australia becoming a republic grew by 8 per cent since 2008. Caretaker Prime Minister [[Julia Gillard]] claimed during the campaign of the 2010 federal election that she believed Australia should become a republic at the end of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. 34 per cent of those in the poll share this view, wanting Queen Elizabeth II to be Australia's last monarch. At the extremes of the poll, 29 per cent of those surveyed believe Australia should become a republic as soon as possible, while 31 per cent believe Australia should never become a republic.
John Wurst of the {{w|Australian Republican Movement}} claims that "It's a ridiculous statement to say that we should wait until the Queen dies and I'm surprised that the Prime Minister and others would take that position [...]I think we should move as soon as we're ready, and as soon as we're ready should be now."
This new poll highlights that support for a {{wikt|referendum}} concerning the monarchy's position in Australia is at its lowest since 1994. The last referendum Australia conducted on the subject was in 1999 that resulted in a narrow rejection of a republic.
Spokesperson of {{w|Australians for a Constitutional Monarchy}} (ACM) Malcolm Badgery says "it's actually less likely, after the Queen dies, that people will embrace any change with great enthusiasm [as] there will be an outpouring of sentiment [and] a royal funeral and then the coronation."
Gillard calls for a discussion of what republican model Australia should adopt in the coming years.

{{w|Mount Sinabung}} has erupted in {{w|Sumatra}}, [[Indonesia]], spitting smoke and ash {{m to ft|1500}} in the air at 00:08 local time Sunday.
Surono of Indonesia's Directorate of Vulcanology said, "Initially we thought the ash and smoke were triggered by rain but now we know the driving pressure was from magma. It's clearly dangerous so we've raised the warning to the highest level, or red level."
"The situation is under control. Emergency response teams are already on the scene," says a spokesperson for the Indonesian National Disaster Management Agency.
Saturday, Sinabung was spewing smoke, however, the volcano was not expected to erupt, according to the directorate.
Around 12,000 residents have been evacuated from the area. One person has died.
This is the first reported eruption since 1600.

{{History}}
A crowd of over 10,000 people attended the {{w|Anzac day|anchor=Dawn service|dawn service}} on Saturday at {{w|Gallipoli}}, {{w|Turkey}} for the 100th anniversary of the landing of {{w|Australia|Australian}} and {{w|New Zealand}} troops there in 1915. The solemn remembrance ceremony was held at the site of the original Gallipoli landings, now known as {{w|Anzac Cove}}.
[[File:Dawn service gnangarra 03.jpg|thumb|left|From file, Gallipoli dawn service 2009. {{image|[[Commons:User:Gnangarra|Gnangarra]]}}]]
The Gallipoli Campaign of the {{w|First World War}} is remembered as a failed attack in which thousands of lives were lost for little to no gain for either side. The campaign killed 45,000 {{w|Allies of World War I|Allied}} and 86,000 Turkish troops.
Attendees at the dawn service included {{w|Charles, Prince of Wales|Prince Charles}}, the Prime Minister of Australia, and the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Australian Prime Minister {{w|Tony Abbott}}'s speech later in the day emphasised the importance of the day to Australians. "Like every generation since, we are here on Gallipoli because we believe the Anzacs represented Australians at their best. Because they rose to their challenges, we believe it is a little easier for us to rise to ours. Their example helps us to be better than we would otherwise be", he said.
New Zealand Prime Minister {{w|John Key}} at dawn described Gallipoli as a symbol of the highest ideals of Australians and New Zealanders "especially when they work side by side in the face of adversity".
Prince Charles stirred emotions by reading extracts from a serviceman's diary. The diary entry, by Company Quartermaster Sergeant Benjamin Leane, was addressed to his wife and was written hours before the first Gallipoli landing.
The centenary milestone of {{w|Anzac Day}} also drew a Turkish security force of 3700, both police and paramilitary. Attendees entered past six security checkpoints.
A record 120,000 people also attended services at the {{w|Australian War Memorial}} in {{w|Canberra}} to commemorate the centenary.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:<em>Wikinews</em> interviews painter Pricasso on his art and freedom of expression}}
{{wikimediamention}}
{{date|October 12, 2015}}
{{Infobox Interviews}}''[[Wikinews]]'' interviewed [[Australia]]n painter {{w|Pricasso}} on his unique artwork created using his {{wikt|penis}}, and how his art relates to [[freedom of expression]] and issues of [[censorship]]. He is to be featured at the upcoming adult entertainment event {{w|Sexpo Australia}} in [[Melbourne]] this November 5 to November 8.
[[File:Pricasso-7 (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|File photo of {{w|Pricasso}}, 2012. {{image|Eva Rinaldi}}]]
==Background==
[[File:Pricasso-2.jpg|thumb|upright|left|{{w|Pricasso}} painting a portrait in [[Australia]] at {{w|Sexpo}} (2012) {{Image source|[http://www.flickr.com/photos/evarinaldiphotography/6846524602/ Eva Rinaldi]}}]]
Pricasso is the stage name of Australian painter Tim Patch, in a nod to the artist {{w|Pablo Picasso|Picasso}} while using the word {{wikt|anchor=English|prick}}. Pricasso has been painting portraits using his penis for more than ten years.
Based in [[Australia]], Pricasso paints his artwork using his {{wikt|buttocks}} and {{wikt|scrotum}} in addition to his penis. According to ''{{w|640 Toronto News}}'', Pricasso markets himself as "The World's Greatest Penile Artist".
{{QuoteRight|I consider my work as satire just like late night TV, something that gives light relief to a serious subject.|4={{w|Pricasso}}}}
He is able to create 20 paintings in one day. Pricasso also practices other styles besides portraits, including {{w|landscape painting}} and {{w|Nude (art)|nudes}}. Typically his portraits take him not more than 15 minutes to paint. He told Coconuts TV he chose to specialize in creating artwork in this manner because he felt it was a {{w|niche market}}.
His fanbase is international; Pricasso has journeyed to locations including the [[United States]], [[Holland]], [[Germany]], [[Brazil]], [[Mexico]] and [[China]] to paint portraits for people. Though he is willing to travel to display his talent, Pricasso told ''{{w|In Touch Weekly}}'' most of his income is [[Internet]]-based.
''Wikinews'' interviewed Pricasso about his artwork and asked for his thoughts on topics of [[censorship]] and [[freedom of expression]]. We discussed what are considered appropriate forms of {{w|parody}} and {{w|satire}} of {{w|public figure|public figures}} — protected in the United States following the Supreme Court case ''[[Hustler Magazine v. Falwell]]''.
The interview touched upon a 2013 conflict which arose on our sister site for images and media, {{w|Wikimedia Commons}}, when an image of a portrait of [[Wikipedia]] co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] painted by Pricasso was uploaded to the site. Wales called it "harassment" and a succession of deletion discussions ensued. We asked Pricasso about this as well as the different reaction from former-Mayor of [[Cape Town]] [[Helen Zille]], who called his painting of her part of a "free society" where artists "exercise their freedom in unusual ways."
==Interview==
{{WNI response|Wikinews}}''' Pricasso, thanks for agreeing to do this interview with Wikinews.'''
'''Pricasso''': Thanks for doing this, great questions.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' How long have you been painting in this particular fashion?'''
'''Pricasso''': I first tried it over 10 years ago and realised it would be possible with practice to get as good with it but in a slightly more impressionistic style than I could with a brush, and I really liked the results, of course at first I had to work out the paint formula and what to paint on which was done by trial and error — and then finding somewhere to practice, which was a problem until I was invited to become a member of a Bondage club in [[Brisbane]], my first patron. There I realised that there were so many people with totally different views on what is acceptable in society, and were always protesting over most [[censorship]] issues.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' How long can you paint with your penis at one time before it gets too tiring?'''
'''Pricasso''': At most Sexpo's and Adult Expos I paint for 13 hours a day in half slots so I paint 20 plus paintings a day. When I am painting I have to concentrate hard and go into a meditative state; I don't notice much going on around me until I have finished.
[[File:Pricasso-5.jpg|thumb|Example of Pricasso applying paint before creating a piece of artwork. {{Image source|[http://www.pricasso.com/ Pricasso]}}]]
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Other than your penis, what other parts of your body do you use in the painting process?'''
'''Pricasso''': I quickly worked out that I could speed it up by using my testicles and butt cheeks to cover large areas in no time at all, but only recently do I paint the edges using my butt-crack, I call it the credit card swipe!
{{WNI response|WN}}''' How did you come up with the name Pricasso?'''
'''Pricasso''': That was the heading they christened me with in the Picture Magazine interview in 2006. I realised it was Gold and took out the website and trademark.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' What's the most positive reaction you've had to one of your paintings?'''
'''Pricasso''': It is always satisfying to get applause when a painting is finished; at most adult shows this happened all the time; but I do like painting disabled people. I have painted several people with severe {{w|cerebral palsy}} and they are over the moon with the result; this gives me the most pleasure, as I do realise that they are still sexually active people and everyone should realise this.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Have any of your paintings been featured in a gallery somewhere?'''
'''Pricasso''': I have entered the {{w|Bald Archy}} Exhibition in Australia every year and sold a few. Also at an exhibition of politicians in Australia, and last November I went to [[Miami]] for the ''Art undressed'' exhibition and also painted 15 minute portraits there which was fun.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Do you consider it a form of freedom of expression to create your artwork in the way you do with your penis?'''
'''Pricasso''': When I first thought of the idea I was really thinking I could get invited to a few parties as the entertainment which I do regularly, but now I am getting a good style about my work and want to take it to the next level and be accepted as an innovator.
{{QuoteRight|A free society throws up these kinds of people, who exercise their freedom in unusual ways.|4=Cape Town former-Mayor [[Helen Zille]]}}
{{WNI response|WN}}''' In 2008, prior to a Sexpo event in [[South Africa]], you uploaded a video to the Internet of yourself painting a portrait of then-Mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille. Why did you decide to do this?'''
'''Pricasso''': No particular reason on my behalf, it was the organisers of the Sexpo who got me to paint it mainly for publicity. But also to have a portrait on my stand, who people in Cape Town would relate to as I now know she is very popular and has a great sense of humour.
[[File:Helen Zille - two.jpg|thumb|upright|Cape Town former-Mayor [[Helen Zille]] {{Image source|Helen Zille, Democratic Alliance, South Africa}}]]
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille commented of your portrait painting of her: "This is a free country. A free society throws up these kinds of people, who exercise their freedom in unusual ways. And if this is how he wants to do it, I must accept his constitutional right to do so." — what are your thoughts on her reaction?'''
'''Pricasso''': Sounds a bit formal but that is how politicians usually talk, guarded and a totally correct response, the trouble is that if they spoke from the heart it might come back to bite them one day, but I did talk to one of her aides privately and she said they were all really impressed and loved the concept, I really should have offered to paint her too but I was probably flat out all day — I always am at the South African shows.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Mayor Zille further commented about the quality of your painting of her: "[Pricasso] has achieved a good likeness and I can't imagine how he painted it without brushes or conventional equipment." — what do you think of this assessment?'''
'''Pricasso''': Most people are impressed when they see it done, skeptical at first but after the initial shock they all usually stop to watch until I finish that particular painting, usually they take about 15 minutes.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' If you could speak to Mayor Zille, what would you say to her about her reaction to your painting of her?'''
'''Pricasso''': I would say I was impressed with her response, mostly girls are much more impressed than guys only a minority of guys I might add, lots of them love it and me too!! But in general she gave a responsible and educated reply and was not at all offended by the experience.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' In 2011, one member of the {{w|Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast}} Sculptors' Society quit in protest due to your participation in the 'Exotic Erotic' show — how do you feel when people react to your artwork in this way?'''
'''Pricasso''': I guess I could say; This is a free country. A free society throws up these kinds of people, who exercise their dissaproval in various ways. And if this is how she wants to protest, I must accept her constitutional right to do so. There was that politically correct enough? Or maybe the silly old B***ch — but her reaction did get heaps of publicity for the show and they had record numbers coming through the doors so there was a silver lining.
But obviously it is a bit confronting and not everyone's cup of tea but if they could just see it before they get on their high horse they might have a different point of view.
[[File:Jimmy Wales by Pricasso (cropped).jpg|thumb|The painting of [[Wikipedia]] co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]], the uploading of which Wales called "harassment". 2013. {{Image source|[http://www.pricasso.com/ Pricasso]}}]]
{{WNI response|WN}}''' You painted a portrait of Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales in 2013; a picture and a video file of the making of this painting were uploaded to Wikipedia's sister site for images and media, Wikimedia Commons. Shortly thereafter, the files were [[commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Jimmy_Wales_by_Pricasso.jpg|nominated for deletion and a deletion discussion ensued]] — what are your thoughts on this discussion?'''
'''Pricasso''': I did not think Wikipedia censored anything as on Jimmy Wales' [[Twitter]] account his banner heading is: "Wikia guy. Free speech activist, entrepreneur." Either this is misleading in the very least or blatantly untrue.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' The deletion discussion at Wikimedia Commons resulted in keeping the photograph of your portrait of Jimmy Wales, but deleting the video of your making-of-the-portrait — do you consider a video of your portrait painting to be offensive?'''
'''Pricasso''': Not in the least; it's pure {{w|performance art}}.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' During the deletion discussion, Jimmy Wales commented ''{{plainlinks|{{fullurl:w:User talk:Jimbo Wales|diff=prev&oldid=560022997}}|"I encourage people to go to commons and work to explain to the community there some of the concepts behind Hostile environment sexual harrassment. I encourage everyone to seriously consider whether it is appropriate behavior to upload a clearly non-notable film of someone using his penis to paint a picture of a Wikipedia volunteer. It is harassment, it is trolling, and I am deeply disappointed to have to point this out to some people."}}'' What do you think of his response to your artwork? Do you feel your paintings constitute harassment?'''
'''Pricasso''': Harassment is when one continually annoys someone, over and over again; I only painted the one painting of him and it to my mind was not offensive, I consider my work as {{w|satire}} just like late night TV, something that gives light relief to a serious subject. There are many examples of {{w|political cartoon}} images on Wikipedia, so why are they still up there or is it just the things Jimmy Wales doesn't like get taken down? By the way anyone who has not seen the offending Video can view it on {{w|Vimeo}} under Pricasso: <nowiki>http://vimeo.com/user10315938/review/68837137/893b31ca54</nowiki>
I paint about 1000 portraits a year and get paid by the sitters or a close friend of them to do so. I had a request to paint a portrait, to do [this] portrait of Jimmy Wales with a video of me painting, by [[Commons:User:Russavia|Russavia]] (who is an editor at Wikipedia), something I do all the time and I have great feedback as to how funny the videos are; I had no idea who Jimmy Wales was at the time of the request, but painted him only once so it can't be called Harassment. Is he just using his position of power to cut and {{w|censor}} ... It took me a lot of effort and time to put this together so I was pretty upset. And would really like it to be republished next to the portrait as originally it was before Mr Wales had it removed.
:: ''[Editor's note: Accusations of harassment focused on the uploader, rather than the artist; the successive heated discussions, over about six months, that ultimately led to the video's deletion from Commons may be read ''[[Commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Jimmy Wales by Pricasso (the making of).ogv|here]]''. Jimmy Wales expressed his position elsewhere and did not directly participate in the discussions themselves.]''
{{WNI response|WN}}''' How do you compare the reactions by Mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille who said your portrait painting of her was a product of a "free society" and a reflection of how people "exercise their freedom" with the comment by Jimmy Wales calling the publication of your artwork "harassment" ? Which of these individuals do you feel is correct, Mayor Zille or Wales, and why?'''
'''Pricasso''': I think Helen got it. They in South Africa are struggling with change from being suppressed to one of freedom as she said "a free society". Jimmy Wales on the other hand although promoting himself as The Free Speech Guy is censoring things he does not agree with and calling it Harassment, not a good look Jimmy!!
I did put the video of Helen Zille being painted on [[YouTube]]. It was there for a few months but they too delete my work quite regularly so it's probably long gone.
She is an experienced politician and would weigh up the fors and against before she acted, obviously the fors had it.
Mr. Wales on the other hand has probably not seen a lot of my work; if he had he would know I do it for fun and not really to be taken too seriously, it's a comedy performance, but he could not see the unique talent of someone who has cornered the world market of penis portraits painting with no imitators for the past 10 years, so before too many people could have a small chuckle at his expense he had it deleted, I'm sure there would be many others who would like to remove things on Wikipedia but don't have the muscle to do so.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Have you experienced censorship or attempts by others to limit your freedom of expression? How so, and what was your reaction?'''
'''Pricasso''': As I said before YouTube is always deleting my videos when someone complains, sometimes even when there is no genitals visible. Once one was taken down because the guy I was painting had the word (fuck) on his tee shirt; I mean how many films have this word in the dialogue. Also in [[Macau]] at the adult show, the people who make the rules make me perform inside an enclosed area, and people are wary of coming in through the door so is a bit slow there; and the guys that run the show are so polite and passionate trying to change China slowly, making it more open, that I keep on returning year after year.
[[File:Milton the Dog by Pricasso.jpg|thumb|Signed painting of a French Bulldog, by Pricasso. 2013. {{Image source|[http://www.pricasso.com/ Pricasso]}}]]
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Do you consider <!-- your --> some of your art pieces to be forms of {{w|parody}} or {{w|satire}} of famous people?'''
'''Pricasso''': Oh yes I love creating something topical and painting a spoof on famous people, and painting with a penis really lends itself to this form of art, but I just painted a normal portrait of Jimmy Wales, as I said before I had no idea who he was before I googled him. And found this heading [on] his Twitter account (seems to me he has a few double standards) "Jimmy Wales Verified account @jimmy_wales You know, the @Wikipedia and @Wikia guy. Free speech activist, entrepreneur."
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Are you familiar with the U.S. Supreme Court case, ''Hustler Magazine v. Falwell'' ? How do you feel after reading about the unanimous decision protecting {{w|parody}} as a form of freedom of speech in that case?'''
'''Pricasso''': Thanks for sharing that with me, I had no idea about this case and it's good to know that freedom of speech is alive and well in America. Actually I was a bit taken aback by the parody and slightly offended that I have been put in the same category, my painting is pure {{w|performance art}} and I don't go out of my way to offend. And I am totally against censorship. It's a shame the same is not true about Wikipedia and Mr. Wales.
{{WNI response|WN}}''' Pricasso, thanks again for doing this interview with ''Wikinews'', is there anything else you'd like to add?'''
'''Pricasso''': Not at the moment. I'm exhausted! Thanks.

{{Audio box 2|filename=NASA releases complete image of Pluto's crescent spoken wikinews.wav|text=Listen to this article|date=2015-11-1}}
{{Pluto}}
On Thursday, [[NASA]] released the first complete picture of [[Pluto]]'s crescent from the ''[[New Horizons]]'' probe. The probe captured the image with its Multi-spectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on July 14, fifteen minutes after closest approach to the planet.
After nine years' journey, ''New Horizons'' made closest approach to Pluto on July 14 and released the first coloured photo of the {{wikt|dwarf planet}}'s atmospheric haze on October 8. An incomplete crescent photo of Pluto was released in September.
The photo shows different layers of the haze of Pluto's faint atmosphere with {{w|Sputnik Planum}}, an icy plain, visible on the right side and uneven {{wikt|plateau|plateaus}} on the dark left side.
==Charon's Craters ==
Scientists also announced their discovery that 5km wide Organa crater on [[Charon]], the largest satellite of Pluto, absorbed large amount of radiation of {{wikt|wavelength}} 2.2{{w|micrometre|µm}} in an {{wikt|infrared}} scan, evidence of frozen {{w|ammonia}}. A nearby crater, named ''Skywalker'', of comparable size showed the presence of water ice.
Will Grundy from the ''New Horizons'' composition team said "Why are these two similar-looking and similar-sized craters, so near to each other, so compositionally distinct?" He also proposed various ideas about the abundance of ammonia. The impact creating the crater could be more recent, or may have hit a subsurface ammonia pocket, or brought ammonia with it.
Studies in 2000 revealed that Charon has ammonia, but its concentration in the Organa crater was extraordinarily high.
Bill McKinnon, New Horizons Geology, Geophysics and Imaging deputy lead, called it "a fantastic discovery". He further said "Concentrated ammonia is a powerful antifreeze on icy worlds, and if the ammonia really is from Charon’s interior, it could help explain the formation of Charon's surface by cryovolcanism, via the eruption of cold, ammonia-water magmas."

Feminist author and academic {{w|Germaine Greer}} gave a lecture at [[Cardiff University]] on Wednesday despite a petition with over 3,000 signatures calling for its cancellation.
{{QuoteLeft|I feel like the words Germaine Greer has spouted in recent years has no place in our movement|source=Emily Cotterill, LGBTQ rights activist}}
Australian Greer gave the Hayden Ellis Lecture entitled "Women and Power: The Lessons of the 20th Century" under security with uniformed police officers and university security guards.
The lecture covered equal pay for women, and {{w|Emmeline Pankhurst}} and the {{w|Suffragettes}}.
Ms Greer had been criticised by [[LGBTQ]] rights activists for comments made about [[transgender]] reality television star {{w|Caitlyn Jenner}}, and her belief that 'post-operative' trans women aren't 'real women'. The women's officer of the Cardiff University Student Union called for cancelling the lecture in a {{w|Change.org}} petition which has received over 3,000 signatures. "I'm 76," Greer said in a {{w|BBC Newsnight}} interview, "I don't want to go down there and be screamed at and have things thrown at me." However, ultimately she did give the lecture.
''The Independent'' reported a group of around two dozen protestors outside the lecture. LGBTQ rights activist Emily Cotterill, who was at the protest, said she believed transphobia had no place in modern feminism. "I feel like the words Germaine Greer has spouted in recent years has no place in our movement", Ms Cotterill said.

{{Chelsea F.C.}}
Today, {{w|London}}-based football club [[Chelsea F.C.]] sacked [[José Mourinho]] from the position of the club's manager.
[[File:José Mourinho - Жозе Моуринью (22164519268).jpg|left|thumb|File photo of Mourinho{{image|Aleksandr Osipov}}]]
Chelsea, the last years' {{w|Premier League}} champions, have sixteenth position in the league table and very poor performance this season, winning just four games out of sixteen in {{w|2015–16 Premier League|2015-2016}}'s season. The [[Portugal|Portuguese]] Mourinho has managed the club for seven seasons, in two spells, won the Premier League thrice, {{w|FA Community Shield}} and {{w|FA Cup}} once.
Chelsea, battling {{w|relegation}}, won only fifteen points and are 20 points behind {{w|Leicester City}}. Mourinho signed a four-year contract in August. Mourinho's last game as Chelsea's manager was played against Leicester City, in which his side lost 2–1.
Chelsea, on the club's website released a statement, saying that José and the board agreed this performance was not good and both sides agreed to the move. The statement also said José would still be a much loved figure at {{w|Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge}}, and described him as "the most successful manager in our 110-year history."
Previously, when José was sacked after winning two titles, he won the {{w|UEFA Champions League|Champions League}} with {{w|FC Internazionale Milano|Inter}} and [[La Liga]] with [[Real Madrid]]. Before his first signing for Chelsea, he won the Champions League with {{w|FC Porto}}.

{{FC Bayern München}}
[[Munich]]-based football club [[Bayern Munich]] yesterday announced their current manager [[Pep Guardiola]] would remain only to this season's end. Former [[Real Madrid]] manager [[Carlo Ancelotti]] would replace the [[Spain|Spaniard]] next season.
[[File:Josep Guardiola 0525.jpg|File photo of Pep Guardiola{{image|Thomas Rodenbücher}}|thumb|left]]
Bayern under Guardiola won back-to-back [[Bundesliga]] titles and one German Cup since summer of 2013. Ancelotti, winner of three [[UEFA Champions League]]s — two for [[A.C. Milan]], one for Real Madrid — would sign for three years with the German Champions. Besides the Champions Leagues, he also won the {{w|Premier League}} with [[Chelsea F.C.]]
{{QuoteRight|It's an honour for me to be part of this great club next season, FC Bayern Munich.|source=Carlo Ancelotti}}
[[File:Carlo Ancelotti 2012-01-02 (3).jpg|File photo of Carlo Ancelotti{{image|Mohan}}|thumb|left]]
44-year-old Guardiola previously coached the current FIFA Club World Cup champions [[FC Barcelona]], and won the Champions League with the [[Catalonia]] club twice.
[[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]], the club's Chief Executive, praised Guardiola's contributions to Bayern after confirming the news. 56-year-old Ancelotti said "It's an honour for me to be part of this great club next season, FC Bayern Munich. When I knew of the club's interest I didn't want to consider any other offer. I honestly wish FC Bayern Munich and my friend Pep Guardiola the best for the current season." He also thanked the Club via tweet yesterday evening, "Thanks ! @FCBayernEN #MiaSanMia".
Bayern player [[Thomas Müller]] said "We'll see what happens. Regardless of who is coach, the squad just wants to keep winning".
Bayern is now scheduled to face [[Italy|Italian]] [[Juventus F.C.]] in the {{w|2015–16 UEFA Champions League}} Last 16.

{{Real Madrid}}
On Monday, [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Football (soccer)|football]] club [[Real Madrid]] sacked their manager {{w|Rafael Benítez}}. They appointed {{w|Zinedine Zidane}} as his successor.
[[File:Real press 2015 (1).jpg|File photo of Rafael Benítez in 2015. {{image|Богдан Заяц}}|left|thumb]]
Real Madrid, who failed to win a trophy last season under their [[Italy|Italian]] manager {{w|Carlo Ancelotti}}, hired former Liverpool manager Benítez as Ancelotti's replacement for the 2015–16 season. Benítez had previously won the {{w|UEFA Champions League}} with [[Liverpool F.C.]], the {{w|UEFA Super Cup}} with {{w|Valencia C.F.}}, and the {{w|UEFA Europa League}} with [[London]]-based club {{w|Chelsea F.C.}} However he was heavily criticised after a 4–0 defeat by [[F.C. Barcelona|Barcelona]] in the {{w|El Clásico}} at {{w|Santiago Bernabéu Stadium}} and a shock exit from the {{w|2015–16 Copa del Rey}} for including an ineligible player in the squad, [[Russia|Russian]] {{w|Denis Cheryshev}}.
Having won only seventeen out of 25 matches with ''Los Blancos'', Benítez's last match for Real Madrid ended in a 2–2 draw to Valencia in an away match on Sunday; they are third in the {{w|La Liga}} table, four points behind league leaders and local rivals {{w|Atlético Madrid}}.
{{QuoteRight|I'm going to put my heart and soul into this club|source=Zinedine Zidane}}
[[File:Zinedine Zidane 2008-2.jpg|left|thumb|File photo of Zinedine Zidane in 2008. {{image| Raphaël Labbé}}]]
Zinedine Zidane is a former Real Madrid legend and coach of Real's reserve team, {{w|Real Madrid Castilla}}. Real's president {{w|Florentino Pérez}} appointed the [[France|Frenchman]] and said Zidane "knows better than anyone just what it means to lead the Real Madrid first-team squad."
Real Madrid has had eleven managers in the twelve years that Pérez has been president. Zidane, expressing his gratitude to Pérez, said "I'm going to put my heart and soul into this club".
Zidane was assistant manager to Ancelotti when Real Madrid won their tenth European Championship. Back in 2001, Real Madrid paid {{w|Turin}}-based club {{w|Juventus F.C.}} the equivalent of {{w|pound sterling|£}}45.8 million to sign Zidane. Pérez said to Zidane, "This is your stadium and your club and you have all our confidence and trust to make the fans excited once more. It makes me proud because I know that for you the word impossible does not exist."

In his first year as manager of [[FC Barcelona]], Enrique won five trophies, including the 2015 {{w|FIFA Club World Cup}}.

{{w|Wendell Lira}}, a [[Brazil]]ian {{w|Striker (association football)|striker}}, won the 2015 {{w|FIFA Puskás Award}} in [[Zürich]] on Monday. The Puskás Award is given to the [[football (soccer)|football]] player voted by the public to have scored the best goal of the year.
Lira's goal was a {{w|bicycle kick}}, in a 2–1 victory for {{w|Goianésia Esporte Clube|Goianésia}} on March 11; he has since moved to {{w|Vila Nova Futebol Clube|Vila Nova}}. His goal won 46.7% of the vote, with about 1.6 million people voting. He won the award ahead of five-time {{w|Ballon d'Or}} winner [[Lionel Messi]], whose solo goal against {{w|Athletic Bilbao}} in the {{w|Copa del Rey}} final won 33.3% of the vote. {{w|Alessandro Florenzi}}, who plays for [[AS Roma]], scored a 50{{w|meter|m}} long-range goal against [[FC Barcelona]] in a {{w|UEFA Champions League}} group stage match and came third with 7.1% of the vote.
When Lira's name was announced he broke into tears. He said "It honestly feels like a dream." Only 297 spectators were present in the stadium, Lira said, when he scored the goal in a regional championship of the second division. He added "I could never have guessed that it would change my life so much".
This was his first time in [[Europe]]. As a player of a second division football club, he said "I've been struggling to get my head around meeting so many stars, let alone being up for [the] award with Messi and then having my goal beat his in the vote." Lira also thanked "my family and all those who voted for me."
Messi praised the goal. "The fact is it's a great goal and he deserved it. The award is in good hands".

{{FC Bayern München}}
In a deal announced yesterday<!-- on Tuesday -->, [[Germany|German]] {{w|association football}} defender {{w|Mats Hummels}}, the current captain of {{w|Borussia Dortmund}} (BVB), agreed to sign a five-year contract with his boyhood club — and arch rivals of Dortmund — [[Bayern Munich]] next season. The arrangement was conditional on Hummels undergoing medical tests before signing.

{{QuoteRight|Mats is one of the best centre-backs in the world. With him we will increase the quality in our team even further.|source=Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, FC Bayern München AG Chairman}}
Hummels previously spent twelve years with the Bavarians, Bayern Munich, coming from their youth system. He moved to Dortmund in 2007 after appearing that year in one {{w|Bundesliga}} match for Bayern.
With BVB, center back Hummels won two Bundesliga titles, one {{w|DFB-Pokal}} Cup in 2012 when they won the {{w|domestic double}} under {{w|Jürgen Klopp}}<!-- Fußball-Bundesliga 2008–09: Borussia Dortmund name Klopp as Head Coach & Jürgen Klopp signs 3 year contract with Liverpool -->; and a silver medal in the 2013 UEFA Champions League. He also won the {{w|2014 FIFA World Cup}}.
"Mats is one of the best centre-backs in the world", said {{w|Karl-Heinz Rummenigge}}, chairman of FC Bayern München AG. "With him we will increase the quality in our team even further." Dortmund's CEO {{w|Hans-Joachim Watzke}} said Hummels had "always been open and fair towards" them.
Hummels is to join Bayern side on July 1 — one year before his pre-existing contract expires with BVB. Dortmund's website quoted Hummels saying "the decision was not easy for me after eight and a half successful years with BVB. I have always been proud and am still proud to wear the BVB jersey and to be part of this extraordinary team."
Dortmund is to face Bayern Munich in DFB-Pokal Cup this month. After joining Bayern, Hummels would share the dressing room with his former Dortmund teammates {{w|Robert Lewandowski}} and {{w|Mario Götze}}.

{{FC Bayern München}}
On Monday, [[Germany|German]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[FC Bayern Munich]] completed the signing of {{w|Mats Hummels}}, who captained Bayern's rivals [[Borussia Dortmund]] this past season. 27-year-old defender Hummels, who was an academy player at Bayern before moving to play for Borussia Dortmund, agreed to a five-year deal.
{{QuoteRight|I'm looking forward to everything that awaits me at FC Bayern. I'm very excited.|source=Mats Hummels}}
[[File:FIFA WC-qualification 2014 - Austria vs. Germany 2012-09-11 - Mats Hummels 01.jpg|left|thumb|File photo of Mats Hummels. {{image|Michael Kranewitter}}]]
Hummels underwent medical tests on Monday before signing the contract. Bayern's chairman {{w|Karl-Heinz Rummenigge}} said {{translated quote|de|German language|Wir freuen uns, Mats zurück beim FC Bayern begrüßen zu dürfen [...] Mit ihm bereichern wir unsere Mannschaft nicht nur um einen Innenverteidiger von Weltklasse-Format, sondern auch um einen Spieler, der Verantwortung nicht scheut und noch dazu aus unserer Jugend stammt. Jetzt wünschen wir ihm erst einmal eine erfolgreiche Europameisterschaft.|We're delighted to welcome Mats back to FC Bayern, [...] Not only are we strengthening our squad with a world-class centre-back, but also with a player who accepts responsibility and who is our own youth product. First of all we wish him a successful Euro 2016.}}
Hummels joined the Bavarians in 1995 when he was six years old. He played only one {{w|Bundesliga}} match for the Reds before he was loaned to Dortmund and later signed for them. He played his last game for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in the {{w|DFB-Pokal}} Cup final, which Bayern won 4–3 on penalties.
After the signing was completed, he said {{translated quote|de|German language|Der Abschied aus Dortmund ist mir natürlich schwergefallen. 2008 ging es mir ähnlich, als ich den Weg in die andere Richtung gemacht habe [...] jetzt freue ich mich einfach auf alles, was mich beim FC Bayern erwartet. Ich bin sehr gespannt.|Saying goodbye to Dortmund was difficult for me of course. It was similar to 2008, when it was the other way around [...] Now I'm looking forward to everything that awaits me at FC Bayern. I'm very excited.}}

{{Manchester United F.C.}}
On Monday, [[England|English]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[Manchester United]] sacked their manager {{w|Louis van Gaal}} just two days after his team won the 2015–16 FA Cup — the twelfth {{w|FA Cup}} victory for ''The Red Devils''.
[[File:Louis-van-gaal2-CN.jpg|left|thumb|File photo of Louis van Gaal {{image|kaʁstn}}]]{{QuoteRight|I am very disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan.|source=Louis van Gaal}}
Appointed as the manager of the club in July 2014, [[Netherlands|Dutchman]] van Gaal said "I am very disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan." This year's FA Cup was Manchester United's first trophy under van Gaal.
Under his management, Manchester United landed fourth and fifth in the Premier League table, and this season they missed {{w|UEFA Champions League}} qualification. They had 58.47% possession, the best average in the league, and eighteen {{w|Shutout|anchor=Association football|cleansheets}}, but ''The Red Devils'' scored only 49 goals in the league, the worst they have done in more than last two decades.
Louis van Gaal was informed by {{w|Ed Woodward}}, Vice-Chariman of Manchester United, that the club would sack him from the managerial position. van Gaal is reportedly to receive about {{w|Great Britain Pound|£}}6million, his annual salary, before leaving for [[Portugal]].
In the FA Cup final versus [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]], the first half ended in a 0–0 draw. In the 78<sup>th</sup> minute {{w|Jason Puncheon}} scored for Crystal Palace but minutes later, {{w|Juan Mata}} equalised. The 90-minute mark ended with 1–1 on the score board. {{w|Chris Smalling}} received his second {{w|yellow card (association football)|yellow card}} and was sent off minutes before {{w|Jesse Lingard}} scored the winner from a volley in the 110<sup>th</sup> minute.
With the FA Cup title, according to Woodward, Louis van Gaal has won a title in four different nations.

{{FC Barcelona}}
On Thursday, [[FC Barcelona]] technical secretary {{w|Roberto Fernández Bonillo|Robert Fernández}} announced [[Brazil]]lian [[football (soccer)|football]] defender [[Dani Alves]] would leave the club this summer as a free agent.
[[File:2015 UEFA Super Cup 107.jpg|left|thumb|File photo of Dani Alves{{image|Олег Дубина}}]]
Alves spent eight seasons with the [[Catalonia]]ns when the club signed him from {{w|Sevilla FC}}. Making his debut for Barça in 2008, Alves played 391 matches and he played the second most games of any foreign player in the Catalan jersey after [[Lionel Messi]]. In his last league appearance for Barça, he provided an assist to [[Luis Suárez]] which was Alves's 100th assist in [[La Liga]].
Alves won 23 trophies with Barclona — six La Liga, four {{w|Copa del Rey}}, four {{w|Supercopa de España}}, three [[UEFA Champions League]], three {{w|UEFA Super Cup}}s and three {{w|FIFA Club World Cup}}s.
Last season Alves extended his contract, as FC Barcelona had a transfer ban imposed by [[FIFA]]. Robert Fernández said in the press conference that [[Aleix Vidal]] was signed with awareness of Alves's possible departure. He also said, "This is personal decision that the club has to accept".
Alves posted on Instagram saying, {{translated quote|es|Spanish language|Soy un privilegiado, un futbolista trabajador y honrado, a quién la vida le ha permitido vestir la camiseta del mejor club del mundo en una década prodigiosa por la calidad de sus jugadores y entrenadores|I'm privileged, a hard-working and honourable footballer who's been lucky enough to wear the shirt of the best club in the world in a wonderful decade for the club thanks to the quality of its players and coaches}}.
FC Barcelona has invited him to address club supporters at the 2016–17 season start in farewell.

{{w|Serbia|Serbian}} {{w|tennis}} player [[Novak Djokovic]] defeated {{w|Scotland|Scottish}} [[Andy Murray]] in the {{w|French Open}} 2016 final on Sunday to complete his {{w|Grand Slam (tennis)#Career Grand Slam|career Grand Slam}}. It was the second time this year Murray has lost to Djokovic in a Grand Slam final.
Murray dominated the first set, winning 6–3. He scored 5 {{w|Ace (tennis)|aces}} in total in the match. Djokovic fought back in the second set, winning it 6–1 covering 700{{w|metre|m}}. In the match, Murray had 39 {{w|unforced error}}s as compared to Djokovic's 37.
Djokovic won the third set 6–2, as Murray won just three out of eleven points on his second serve. Djokovic took the fourth set 6–4 to win the match. He has now won the last four major tournaments, beginning with {{w|The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon}} last year.
After the match, Djokovic called it "a thrilling moment. One of the most beautiful I have had in my career."
In his last 14 meetings against Murray, Djokovic has won 12 times, and with this Grand Slam title he joins only seven other men in history with a career Grand Slam.

After signing the contract, Bailly said, "It is a dream come true to be joining Manchester United. To play football at the highest level is all I have ever wanted to do [...] I am looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to starting this new chapter of my life."

[[File:FC Lorient - June 27th 2013 training - Raphaël Guerreiro.JPG|left|thumb|File photo of Raphaël Guerreiro{{image|XIIIfromTOKYO}}]]
Yesterday, [[Germany|German]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[Borussia Dortmund]] (BVB) announced signing 22-year-old [[Portugal|Portuguese]] defender {{w|Raphaël Guerreiro}} from [[France|French]] club {{w|FC Lorient}} on a four-year deal. {{w|Dortmund}} allowed 22-year-old {{w|Marvin Ducksch}} to join [[Hamburg]]-based club {{w|FC St. Pauli}} the day before. St. Pauli plays in the {{w|2. Bundesliga}} second-tier football league in Germany.
{{quoteRight|Raphaël Guerreiro is a technically experienced player who is equally comfortable in several positions.|source=Michael Zorc, BVB Sporting Director}}
Having {{wikt|dual citizenship}}, French and Portuguese, Guerreiro has scored two goals for Portugal in his seven international games. Last season, he played 34 {{w|Ligue 1}} matches for Lorient. Guerreiro had a medical checkup in [[Paris]] on Wednesday, with clearance from the {{w|Portuguese Football Federation}}. Sporting Director {{w|Michael Zorc}} said, {{Translated quote|de|German language|Raphaël Guerreiro ist ein technisch versierter Spieler, der sich auf mehreren Positionen zu Hause fühlt.|Raphaël Guerreiro is a technically experienced player who is equally comfortable in several positions.}}
Ducksch joined Dortmund fourteen years ago, when he was 8. Since then, he has played six games with the {{w|first team}}. Last season, he scored fifteen goals in 28 games for {{w|Borussia Dortmund II}}, Dortmund's reserve team. Dortmund's website reported it was Ducksch's wish to join St. Pauli. Both the clubs have agreed to keep silence about the transfer fee.
This season, BVB has signed teen-aged players {{w|Emre Mor}} and {{w|Ousmane Dembélé}}.

{{Microsoft}}
{{w|Microsoft}} announced on Thursday they are partnering with {{w|KIND Financial}} to help governments track the production and distribution of legal {{w|marijuana}}. Kind Financial, a {{w|California}}-based {{w|start-up company}}, began selling its ''Agrisoft Seed to Sale'' software three years ago. Microsoft is admitting Kind's software on the Government portion of its {{w|Microsoft Azure|Azure}} cloud service.
Although Kind Financial CEO {{w|David Dinenberg}} stressed to ''{{w|The Guardian}}'' they "absolutely do not touch the plant", his company does business with growers and distributors of marijuana, as well as the governments that regulate it. State law in twenty-five US states — but not US federal law — has legalized marijuana, whether medicinally or for recreational use. Kimberly Nelson, Microsoft executive director of state and local government solutions, said they expect significant demand for technology to help states make sure cannabis distribution within their state is done according to their laws.
Kind also provides kiosks similar to {{w|automated teller machine|automated tellers}} (ATMs) to facilitate marijuana transactions in dispensaries. The distribution of marijuana is often done only with cash or through machines like the ones Kind offers since many banks in the United States shy away from the marijuana industry entirely. Microsoft is not interacting with this part of Kind's operations, however.
Microsoft and Kind will apply for contracts with state governments for their software. Currently, they have applied to {{w|Puerto Rico}}, a US territory, where medical marijuana has recently been made legal. BioTrackTHC, a company similar to Kind Financial, already has contracts with {{w|Washington (state)|Washington}}, {{w|New Mexico}}, and {{w|Illinois}}.
Dinenberg said his company's partnership with Microsoft is a major step in advancing the legitimacy of cannabis-related businesses.

[[File:Mario Götze, Germany national football team (02).jpg|thumb|left|260px|File photo of Mario Götze, 2011. {{image|[[Commons:User:Steindy|Steindy]]}}]]
== Götze to rejoin his boyhood club ==
2014 FIFA World Cup winning goal scorer Götze has spent twelve years with Borussia Dortmund, joining the youth ranks in 2001. The 24-year-old midfielder has scored 44 goals in 156 {{w|Bundesliga}} appearances; 22 goals for each club. In three seasons with Bayern, Götze won three Bundesliga titles, two {{w|DFB-Pokal}} titles, and a {{w|UEFA Super Cup}}. With Dortmund, he won two League titles and a DFB Cup. Making his international debut in November 2010, Götze has played 56 matches and scored seventeen goals.
As both the clubs reached the agreement, Borussia Dortmund's CEO {{W|Hans-Joachim Watzke}} said, {{translated quote|de|German language|Ich freue mich persönlich sehr, dass Mario sich für Borussia Dortmund entschieden hat. Ich habe seit seinem Weggang im Jahr 2013 immer gehofft, dass er eines Tages zu uns zurückkehren wird|Personally, I'm absolutely delighted that Mario has chosen to come back to Borussia Dortmund. Ever since his departure in 2013, I've always hoped that he would return to the club one day}}.
Götze said, {{translated quote|de|German language|Wenn ich nun in meine Heimat zurückkehre, möchte ich versuchen, alle Menschen – gerade auch die, die mich nicht mit offenen Armen empfangen – durch Leistung zu überzeugen.| If I am now to return to my hometown club, then I want to try to win everyone over – especially those who do not welcome me back with open arms – with my performances.}}
Götze would potentially play against Bayern in the {{w|DFL-Supercup}} next month. <!-- Click on matches to see -->

Having also played for other two German clubs, {{w|Mainz 05}} and {{w|Bayer Leverkusen}}, Schürrle has scored 48 goals in 174 Bundesliga appearances, and provided 29 assists. Schürrle has scored 20 goals for Germany in 55 appearances.
Borussia Dortmund's sporting director {{w|Michael Zorc}} said, {{translated quote|de|German language|André Schürrle ist ein deutscher Nationalspieler mit herausragendem Offensivpotenzial, der zudem sehr passsicher ist und sich auch in der Defensivarbeit immer wieder geschickt einbringt.| André Schürrle is a Germany international with outstanding attacking potential who is also a very good passer of the ball and consistently contributes neatly to his team's defensive play.}}
Schürrle had three years left in his contact with the Wolves, now signing for a five-year contract with BVB. The clubs did not disclose the transfer sum. Dortmund's sporting director added, {{translated quote|de|German language|Damit ist unsere Offensive komplettiert.|Our offensive lineup is now complete.}}

{{Juventus F.C.}}
Yesterday<!-- On Tuesday -->, [[Italy|Italian]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[Juventus F.C.]] announced signing of [[Argentina|Argentine]] striker [[Gonzalo Higuaín]] from their rival club {{w|S.S.C. Napoli}}. 28-year-old Higuaín signed a five-year contract with the ''Old Lady'' for an Italian record transfer fee of [[€]]90 million.
[[File:Dnepr-Napoli (3).jpg|left|thumb|260px|File photo of Higuaín, 2015. {{image|Илья Хохлов}}]]
Debuting at the age of 17 in 2005, Higuaín has made 329 league appearances and scored 191 goals. He joined [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Madrid|capital]] club [[Real Madrid]] in 2006. Spending six-and-half seasons with ''Los Blancos'', Higuaín has won the [[La Liga]] title there.
Higuaín — nicknamed ''Pipita'' — joined Napoli in 2013. While there he broke the goal scoring record set by {{w|Gunnar Nordahl}} of the Italian [[Serie A]], netting 36 goals in 35 appearances. He helped Napoli qualify for the [[UEFA Champions League]] as the club finished second in the league.
In remarks to Gazetta World following Higuaín's agreement to the contract, [[AS Roma]] captain {{w|Francesco Totti}} said, "Footballers today are a bit like nomads[...] They follow money and not their hearts." 40-year-old Totti has played 25 years for Roma, signing a one-year contract extention last month.
Napoli's president {{w|Aurelio De Laurentiis}} said, {{translated quote|it|Italian language|C’è chi dice che parlare di tradimento sia esagerato, e invece io penso il contrario, perché in questa scelta c’è il senso pieno del tradimento, che comprende anche l’ingratitudine|Some believe that talking of a betrayal is an exaggeration, but I think differently. In this move there is the full meaning of a betrayal, which includes ingratitude.}}
Former Agrentine captain and Napoli legend {{w|Diego Maradona}} said, {{translated quote|es|Spanish language|Me duele lo de Higuaín, porque va a un rival directo, como la Juventus. Pero tampoco se le puede echar la culpa al jugador. Porque el jugador tiene su responsabilidad, pero los que hacen el negocio son los más felices. Nadie piensa en el hincha.|This Higuain affair is hurting me because he is going to a direct rival like Juventus. But we cannot blame the player either. A player has a responsibility to himself and it is those fat cats of business that are grinning the most in this case. Nobody thinks of the fan.}}
Higuaín has been assigned the number 9 jersey.

{{Manchester City F.C.}}
On Thursday, [[Spain|Spanish]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[FC Barcelona]] announced their first-choice goalkeeper, {{w|Claudio Bravo (footballer)|Claudio Bravo}}, was sold to [[England|English]] club [[Manchester City F.C.]] for [[Euro|€]]18 million on a four-year deal. Manchester City is obliged to pay €2 million as add-ons.
[[File:Barça - Napoli - 20140806 - Claudio Bravo.jpg|left|thumb|260px|File photo of Claudio Bravo{{image|Clément Bucco-Lechat}}]]
33-year-old Claudio Bravo joined the [[Catalonia]]ns in the 2014 summer transfer window from {{w|Real Sociedad}} to replace {{w|Víctor Valdés}}. Bravo conceded only 43 goals in 75 matches overall, 72 [[La Liga]] matches, for the club.
In 2014, Bravo did not concede a single goal in nine consecutive league matches and set a new La Liga record for consecutive minutes without a concession. That season, he conceded only eighteen goals and won the {{w|Zamora Trophy}} awarded to the goalkeeper with the lowest goal-conceded-per-match ratio. He was named in the La Liga Team of the Season.
In two seasons at {{w|Camp Nou}}, Bravo won eight trophies — two La Liga titles, two {{w|Copa del Rey}}s, and one each of [[UEFA Champions League]], {{w|FIFA Club World Cup}}, {{w|UEFA Super Cup}}, and {{w|Super Copa de España}}. Last year, Bravo led Chile to their maiden [[Copa América]] title and successfully defended the title this year in the Centenario edition of the tournament. He was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament in both tournaments.
After signing Manchester City, Bravo said, "It is not easy to leave a club like Barcelona where I had two fantastic years, but the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola was too good to refuse."
Earlier on Thursday, Barcelona announced signing [[Netherlands|Dutch]] goalkeeper {{w|Jasper Cillessen}} from [[AFC Ajax]] for €13 million.
Bravo faces Barcelona in the Champions League group stage, as the draw on Thursday placed Barcelona and Manchester City both in Group C.

{{Real Madrid}}
On Wednesday, [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Madrid|capital]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[Real Madrid]] announced [[Germany|German]] midfielder [[Toni Kroos]] signed a contract extension till 2022.
[[File:Toni Kroos, Germany national football team (02).jpg|left|thumb|300px|File photo of Toni Kroos{{image|[[Commons:User:Steindy|Steindy]]}}]]
26-year-old Toni Kroos left [[Bundesliga]] club [[Bayern Munich]] in 2014 for [[Euro|€]]30 million. Since then, the German international has featured in 108 games for ''Los Blancos''. The World Champion has won the [[UEFA Champions League]] in 2016, and the {{w|UEFA Super Cup}} and {{w|FIFA Club World Cup}} with Real Madrid.
Signing an extension which will tie him with the club for two additional years, Kroos is expected to earn £20 million according to German newspaper Bild. This salary would make Kroos the highest-earning German international.
Speaking to the media, Kroos said, "I have been very happy here in Madrid since the very first day and I'm really pleased to be here for at least six more years." The midfielder added, "Real Madrid may well be the last team I play for. [...] I don't see myself as the kind of player to still be playing at the age of 36, I want to go out at the highest level".

== Re: revitalising Wikinews ==
Hi, I'm reaching out to you as you indicated support for revitalising Wikinews. Here are a few ways to help out, in no particular order:
# write new articles by [[WN:SG|style guide]] and [[WN:CG|content guide]]
# find news which happened today and share it on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] or [[WN:REQ|a news tip page]]
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those submitted for review, and edit them to make them more comprehensive or more current
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those that failed review recently, and address reviewer's comments quickly and re-submit for review
# chat with new authors (of articles in Newsroom) and help them understand the key concepts
# subscribe at [[Wikinews:Water cooler]] (there are 5 subforums, open each and click 'Subscribe' link at top - then keep a close eye on your Echo notifications) to help newcomers and help with editing articles when someone requests assistance
# chat on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] and help newcomers and reviewers with their review process
# help with software development for authoring or reviewing articles, perhaps for the mobile platforms
# chat with other contributors on audio or video chat
# present notes about how Wikinews works at various conferences via audio and video communucations [as we don't have funds for travel at present] this can be linux, programming, journalistical, or wikimedia themed conferences
# figure out how to get someone to do any of the above through a grant, sometimes google summer of code
# find high school and university educators who would like to teach their class journalism by asking them to write articles for Wikinews (was done with [[Category:UoW|University of Wollongong]] in the past, and we have extension installed for marking students)
# collaborate with [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] on getting more news coverage of the New York City and adjacent areas
# proofread, or read, Wikinews articles out loud for Audio Wikinews
# make English Wikinews accounts on various social media like twitter, facebook, blue sky app (sp?), others [in consultation with someone on-wiki first] ensuring you're posting new news articles there with appropriate tags, moderate comments, and setup multiple moderators if possible and document which contributor is in charge of which social network account for Wikinews and how articles are being posted there
Please let me know which of these points you're most comfortable with, and/or would like to learn.
'''''Which points would you like to contribute?''''' Please name up to 3-5 points, if you like. Or suggest your own. :-)
I'm happy to connect with you and guide you in any of the above areas.
Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
== Infobox on your user page ==
I am working through all infoboxes in preparation for the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]]. We need to remove any occurence of DPL. I manually created the static infobox [[:Template:Asheiou (Wikinewsie)]] and transcluded it to your userpage to replace the old version. I hope you don't mind the edit to your user page.
As an aside; it was unfortunate that your nomination for reviewer failed in such a way. I think you would have excelled in that role and looking back at your userpage and remembering your contributions to discussions, etc, you consistently showed the kind of engagement, and willingness to think things through that the role depends on.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:04, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Not sure if anyone watches my talkpage, but just putting this here to say I'm back. I spent all of August in France unexpectedly so I've been very busy. I have an article in the works!

::I'd intended to be, but unfortunately my health is so unpredictable so I couldn't manage to go. I just sat in a Parisian flat eating expensive pastries, although I also managed to see a lot of museums and I watched the Paralympics opening ceremony on TV, which was something. Hopefully I'll be able to attend the next time the Olympics return to Europe! [[User:Asheiou|A.S.

Hey. I added {{tl|non-free use rationale}} to this, since it's required for all non-free files. If you could please look over the rationale and make sure everything jives with your intentions for using it (I'm guessing you didn't reduce the resolution — which I don't think is necessary for a GoL image — or you would've said you did), that'd be great. [[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] ([[User talk:Heavy Water|talk]]) 21:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
:Hiya, that's all right. Didn't reduce the resolution as yeah, it's not required for a GoL image. I'm not currently able to go and take a free-use image to replace it, although I should be able to at the end of the week which I can put on the w:{{w|Hednesford Park}} page. [[User:Asheiou|A.S.

== Re: revitalising Wikinews ==
Hi, I'm reaching out to you as you indicated support for revitalising Wikinews. Here are a few ways to help out, in no particular order:
# write new articles by [[WN:SG|style guide]] and [[WN:CG|content guide]]
# find news which happened today and share it on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] or [[WN:REQ|a news tip page]]
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those submitted for review, and edit them to make them more comprehensive or more current
# read drafts in [[Newsroom]], especially those that failed review recently, and address reviewer's comments quickly and re-submit for review
# chat with new authors (of articles in Newsroom) and help them understand the key concepts
# subscribe at [[Wikinews:Water cooler]] (there are 5 subforums, open each and click 'Subscribe' link at top - then keep a close eye on your Echo notifications) to help newcomers and help with editing articles when someone requests assistance
# chat on [[WN:IRC|live chat]] and help newcomers and reviewers with their review process
# help with software development for authoring or reviewing articles, perhaps for the mobile platforms
# chat with other contributors on audio or video chat
# present notes about how Wikinews works at various conferences via audio and video communucations [as we don't have funds for travel at present] this can be linux, programming, journalistical, or wikimedia themed conferences
# figure out how to get someone to do any of the above through a grant, sometimes google summer of code
# find high school and university educators who would like to teach their class journalism by asking them to write articles for Wikinews (was done with [[Category:UoW|University of Wollongong]] in the past, and we have extension installed for marking students)
# collaborate with [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] on getting more news coverage of the New York City and adjacent areas
# proofread, or read, Wikinews articles out loud for Audio Wikinews
# make English Wikinews accounts on various social media like twitter, facebook, blue sky app (sp?), others [in consultation with someone on-wiki first] ensuring you're posting new news articles there with appropriate tags, moderate comments, and setup multiple moderators if possible and document which contributor is in charge of which social network account for Wikinews and how articles are being posted there
Please let me know which of these points you're most comfortable with, and/or would like to learn.
'''''Which points would you like to contribute?''''' Please name up to 3-5 points, if you like. Or suggest your own. :-)
I'm happy to connect with you and guide you in any of the above areas.
Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
== Infobox on your user page ==
I am working through all infoboxes in preparation for the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]]. We need to remove any occurence of DPL. I manually created the static infobox [[:Template:Asheiou (Wikinewsie)]] and transcluded it to your userpage to replace the old version. I hope you don't mind the edit to your user page.
As an aside; it was unfortunate that your nomination for reviewer failed in such a way. I think you would have excelled in that role and looking back at your userpage and remembering your contributions to discussions, etc, you consistently showed the kind of engagement, and willingness to think things through that the role depends on.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 14:04, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
:Hiya,
:Thank you for reaching out. I'm saddened to hear about the news, but this place has been on a downward trajectory for a long time.
:My main concern, especially after my reviewer request was rejected during a political schism, was that there existed a large cohort of people who would rather watch the project continue to die than allow those who wished to help to do so. I didn't want to continue participating in an environment where knowledge and processes were institutionalised and static to the detriment of the future of the project.
:My application causing a huge mess that didn't result in anything actually improving severely damaged my faith in this place and eventually led to me burning out.
:I'll miss it here. I suppose we have to just carry what we've learnt from here forward. I'll leave this here for anyone else reading - my Instagram is @Asheiouy, you're all welcome to message me over there. Thank you.

Information is requested:
1) I agree that clarification is required from @[[User:Kannotlogin|Kannotlogin]] about image. Who photographed you? The photogramer owns the copyright, and needs to confirm release rights. See Wikimedia Commons home page for details of this requirement. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
2) If you are or you are affiliated with article subject, please clarify. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
Rewrite is requested:
1) Update photo author and licence if the images were not photographed by the uploader. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
2) Edit to [[Special:MyPage]] by the article author to disclose the conflict of interest, if this is the case. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
3) Date is missing in two English language sources. I request that date is added into the first paragraph and is verified by at least two of the provided sources. See [[WN:IP]] for details of this requirement.
Please do these changes immediately, and re-submit for review. Thank you. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:52, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

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

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

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

| comments = Particular care was taken during review to manage the inherent conflict of interest by distinguishing Delaere’s own assertions—all of which are supported by listed sources—from media reporting and from Guinness World Records’ documented actions. While the article synthesizes multiple sources, it introduces no facts beyond those reported by independent publications and aims to present them in a neutral, verifiable manner, with careful consideration for [[WN:COI]].
Upon reconsideration, I am undoing my earlier OR assessment; authorship alone does not constitute original research, and the article does not introduce facts beyond what independent sources report.
Despite being written by the subject, the article is not promotional because it reports only independently published information, clearly attributes assertions, and avoids advocacy or exaggeration, making it a COI-sensitive but policy-compliant synthesis article.

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

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

== Information and rewrite request ==
Information is requested:
1) I agree that clarification is required from @[[User:Kannotlogin|Kannotlogin]] about image. Who photographed you? The photogramer owns the copyright, and needs to confirm release rights. See Wikimedia Commons home page for details of this requirement. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
2) If you are or you are affiliated with article subject, please clarify. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
Rewrite is requested:
1) Update photo author and licence if the images were not photographed by the uploader. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
2) Edit to [[Special:MyPage]] by the article author to disclose the conflict of interest, if this is the case. (note from Michael.C.Wright's review above)
3) Date is missing in two English language sources. I request that date is added into the first paragraph and is verified by at least two of the provided sources. See [[WN:IP]] for details of this requirement.
Please do these changes immediately, and re-submit for review. Thank you. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:52, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

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

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

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

| comments = Particular care was taken during review to manage the inherent conflict of interest by distinguishing Delaere’s own assertions—all of which are supported by listed sources—from media reporting and from Guinness World Records’ documented actions. While the article synthesizes multiple sources, it introduces no facts beyond those reported by independent publications and aims to present them in a neutral, verifiable manner, with careful consideration for [[WN:COI]].
Upon reconsideration, I am undoing my earlier OR assessment; authorship alone does not constitute original research, and the article does not introduce facts beyond what independent sources report.
Despite being written by the subject, the article is not promotional because it reports only independently published information, clearly attributes assertions, and avoids advocacy or exaggeration, making it a COI-sensitive but policy-compliant synthesis article.

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

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

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

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

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

| comments = Particular care was taken during review to manage the inherent conflict of interest by distinguishing Delaere’s own assertions—all of which are supported by listed sources—from media reporting and from Guinness World Records’ documented actions. While the article synthesizes multiple sources, it introduces no facts beyond those reported by independent publications and aims to present them in a neutral, verifiable manner, with careful consideration for [[WN:COI]].
Upon reconsideration, I am undoing my earlier OR assessment; authorship alone does not constitute original research, and the article does not introduce facts beyond what independent sources report.
Despite being written by the subject, the article is not promotional because it reports only independently published information, clearly attributes assertions, and avoids advocacy or exaggeration, making it a COI-sensitive but policy-compliant synthesis article.

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

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

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

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

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

| comments = Particular care was taken during review to manage the inherent conflict of interest by distinguishing Delaere’s own assertions—all of which are supported by listed sources—from media reporting and from Guinness World Records’ documented actions. While the article synthesizes multiple sources, it introduces no facts beyond those reported by independent publications and aims to present them in a neutral, verifiable manner, with careful consideration for [[WN:COI]].
Upon reconsideration, I am undoing my earlier OR assessment; authorship alone does not constitute original research, and the article does not introduce facts beyond what independent sources report.
Despite being written by the subject, the article is not promotional because it reports only independently published information, clearly attributes assertions, and avoids advocacy or exaggeration, making it a COI-sensitive but policy-compliant synthesis article.

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

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

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

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

Without a source supporting that date, the article is stale, per [[WN:Freshness]]. Three of the articles that assert Delaere is finally the official winner were dated [published] ''before'' January 7, implying the Jan. 7 date is incorrect.

| comments = Particular care was taken during review to manage the inherent conflict of interest by distinguishing Delaere’s own assertions—all of which are supported by listed sources—from media reporting and from Guinness World Records’ documented actions. While the article synthesizes multiple sources, it introduces no facts beyond those reported by independent publications and aims to present them in a neutral, verifiable manner, with careful consideration for [[WN:COI]].
Upon reconsideration, I am undoing my earlier OR assessment; authorship alone does not constitute original research, and the article does not introduce facts beyond what independent sources report.
Despite being written by the subject, the article is not promotional because it reports only independently published information, clearly attributes assertions, and avoids advocacy or exaggeration, making it a COI-sensitive but policy-compliant synthesis article.

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

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

{{collapse|Alright, I want to welcome everybody.
This is Downtown Music Gallery.
We have music here every Tuesday starting at 6.30.
This has been going on for more than 25 years.
Usually three bands.
Over the last couple of years I've decided to do some more kind of thematic evenings.
So tonight we have eight vocalists that are going to be singing for us.
It's going to be a different night than what we usually have and I'm really glad about that.
I prepared a little introduction that has to do with the history of
jazz vocals and vocals in general.
And it starts, you have to picture this, we're going to go back in time 315,000 years.
That's considered to be the dawn of mankind.
We're in North Africa, there is a tribe
or whoever was there at the time.
They're descendants of Adam and Eve.
They're walking across the desert very slowly.
This is before language, so the only sounds that they're able to create are vocal sounds without words.
So this is how it starts.
And they make their way, and they end up
later became Israel and they grew over time until they became 12 tribes and then each one of those tribes left and one stayed in Israel and the rest of them traveled to different places on this planet.
The last tribe ended up in the US in the Midwest.
They're called the Lost Tribe of Israel and they became the first Native Americans
And it took about 50,000 years for those tribes to evolve into having people all around our planet.
And many languages came out of that.
Every country, like 100 countries, each one had their own language.
And every country, those languages would be hundreds of dialects.
So you have all different types
to the beginning of songs, vocal songs first, and then eventually percussion instruments, flutes, stringed instruments, and we're gonna move forward to the beginning of the 20th century.
Between 1900 and 1920, this is like in the US, you have vaudeville bands,
the very beginning of what became Dixieland and jazz.
You also had kind of folk stuff going on.
And as far as classical composers go, Igor Stravinsky and Béla Bartók and Edgar Varese composed pieces in the late
teens and 20s, and that's kind of a beginning of, you know, all the pre-20th century classical stuff is more kind of melodic and easier to deal with, but when Stravinsky composed Rites of Spring, it was very violent.
It had dancers dressed as animals, and people went wild when this music occurred.
They flipped out, they couldn't deal with it, it was too much for them.
So in their 20s,
This is what happened.
Duke Ellington's band moved from DC to New York.
Count Basie's band moved from Kansas City to New York.
And you had the beginning of an era called the big band era.
And that existed from late 20s to around 1945.
You had hundreds of big bands that would travel around the country and play.
This was a form of entertainment for people.
People would get together and they would dance.
to see these big bands.
My parents used to go out dancing on weekends in the 40s and check out these big bands.
And there were a lot of them.
And I've been listening to more and more just to get an idea of how things unfolded.
And a lot of those big bands had singers in them.
You probably know a few of the singers like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, people like that.
And that era existed for about 20 years.
And then when World War II happened and the world kind of changed in a lot of ways, all the big bands started to break up and stop playing.
And when people got back from World War II, you had a new form of music that had occurred.
And these were members of Billy Eckstine's big band, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, all these people.
And they started something which was called Bebop.
And the bebop was a small group thing.
It was hard to play.
It's very complex.
And it was the first time that music, jazz music, was not about dancing and entertainment.
It was about sitting and listening, snapping your fingers, creating poetry.
And it affected other things, too.
So dance, abstract art, all these things sort of came out of that.
You had this hipster language that came out of the bebop thing.
We'll hear Buddy Lauren doing some hipster language during his set, maybe.
Who knows?
And in 40, so we had the bebop thing.
Now, that lasted approximately 10 years.
And in 1949, you have a session called Earth of Cool.
That's Miles Davis, Jerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, Lenny Tristano.
And that was another break from what the bebop thing was about.
It was a cooler form.
of jazz.
And the weird thing was, those beboppers that we talked about who created the cool things, that was an East Coast thing, but the cool thing became more popular on the West Coast.
So you had a whole West Coast school in the 50s of all those people doing the cool school stuff.
Now also in the 50s, Dizzy Gillespie put together a big band.
And in his big band, four members of his big band were
John Lewis, Bill Jackson, Connie Kay, and Percy Heath.
They started a quartet called the Modern Jazz Quartet.
Now the thing about them is they wore tuxedos.
They didn't want to play in bars.
They wanted to be taken more seriously.
So that is the beginning of another form of sort of jazz.
And Dizzy Gillespie Big Band did a song called A Bird in Igor's Yard.
That was written by George Russell.
And it was supposed to be a blend of Charlie Parker and Igor Stravinsky.
So a term was coined for that music.
It was called third stream.
It was coined by Gunther Schuller.
So in the 50s, you had the end of bebop.
You had the next phase of that, which is called hard bop.
which is like bebop but with a little bit of funk in there.
And you had people who invented that were Art Blakey and Horace Silver.
So the 50s, let's talk about the 50s.
The 50s, a lot of different changes in music were going on.
You had some blues cats coming up from down south and making their way to Chicago and playing blues.
You had R&B guys doing their thing.
You had pop singers.
You had also country and rockabilly.
Elvis Presley comes from all those elements, including gospel.
That's all part of his thing.
And in 1959, this was a very important year.
Three records came out that changed the future of jazz.
One was Kind of Blue by Miles Davis Sextet, I guess, which is great.
And it had this thing called modal jazz, which opened up the form to be a little bit freer.
You had another record by the Dave Brubeck Quartet called Time Out.
And that record included songs in weird time signatures.
You had Blue Mondewala Turk and Take Five.
So that is another kind of more progressive element that was very popular at the time.
And another record that came out that year that wasn't noticed at the time was Sun Ra's record Jazz and Silhouette, which is a big band record, but it's very progressive.
And then in California, you had Ornette Coleman Quartet, who moved to New York in 1960.
They played for a month at the Five Spot.
And when they played, it was very controversial.
because no piano player, their music is very kind of free and open, and half the people who went to the gigs hated it, and the other half of the people loved it.
And there was fighting going on about if it was important music or not, or if it was really jazz.
All those arguments are going on.
The same period of time, John Coltrane was playing
in Miles Davis' quartet, and his solos were getting longer and longer.
And he met up with John Gilmore, who was the sax player in Sun Ra's band, who was playing with multiphonics.
And this is an early way of getting weird sounds on the sax that are now part of the vocabulary of the saxophone.
So Coltrane is playing these long solos, and Miles said, you know, we're going on tour in Europe, 1960, and Trane says,
I don't want to tour.
I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing."
And Miles begs him, please go on tour.
So he goes on tour for 60.
After he does that tour, he starts his own quartet.
And his own quartet's Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison, and McCoy Tyner.
And so between 60 and 64 you have a freer form of jazz that's now coming out.
Now also during that period of time you have the beginning of what we call protest singers.
So you had like Woody Guthrie and then Pete Seeger and then you had Bob Dylan and these are people that wrote lyrics that talked about social justice and civil rights.
This is a very important thing because it was a way of expressing how you felt
and if you felt the world was unjust and you wanted to deal with it.
I remember when I was at day camp, I was about eight years old, and I had to learn the words to Blown in the Wind by Bob Dylan, which is made popular by Peter, Paul, and Mary.
And I learned the words, and I remember thinking to myself, this is fascinating.
These words actually make me think about the unfairness of the world and what we can do about it.
And I realized how much lyrics and voices really affected the way I saw the world.
Before I started reading newspapers, music was the one thing that spoke to me.
And the more music I listened to, the more different types of music I listened to, all those things were part of my understanding of the world.
I discovered a band called The Mothers of Invention when I was 13.
That's Frank Zappa's band, and Frank Zappa
had this view about the unfairness of society.
He wrote a song called Trouble Every Day.
It's a long protest song.
I haven't memorized, but I'm not going to do it now because this is more about other people tonight.
No, no, no.
I'll do it.
I've done it here once, and I'll do it again.
But it's very long.
But I think it's an important thing.
Now, the vocal thing.
this is all changing over time we have jazz vocalists singing with big bands singing on the road and then in the sixties people start experimenting with their voices uh... so you have people like gene lee uh... who else?
harry woodard jay clayton yes
I mean, a lot of these people I got to know in the 70s.
I remember seeing, late 70s, Ellen Christie.
She was at a jam session I was at in New Jersey, and she was great.
And I didn't know who she was.
And Lisa Sokoloff, I remember seeing.
I saw Jean Lee play a bunch of times, because I was friendly with her, and Gunther Hoppel.
But I've always been attracted to vocalists,
strong vocalists, and also vocalists who take chances and learn how to do different things with their voices.
So we're going to celebrate vocalists tonight.
We have eight of them that are going to be playing in four sets.
All of them are different.
They're all coming from different places.
They're all going to speak to us in different ways.
I'm glad to see more people here than what we usually have.
I think that's a beautiful thing.
I'll do more thematic things in the future.
And I want to thank all you people out there for showing up.
And the first set is going to start.
And Skylar here, he was here on Saturday night with a band.
And man, he blew me away.
He is really something else.
That's all I'm going to say.

== Title change ==
I'm not sure the new title communicates that the performance featured exclusively vocalists. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 14:25, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:Hi @[[User:Tduk|Tduk]]
:1. An uninformed reader, especially foreigner, may ask: "What is a vocalist?". Please wikilink or clarify.
:2. Can "The venue was so highly attended that the entire store was full, and people were watching from outside the entrance to the store." be worded to clarify: is this normally the case for such events at this space?
:3. What is an 'experimental vocalist'? Please clarify.
:4. Can the time when the event started, and when it ended, be included either in the first or in the second paragraph?
:5. Is the website being a pest, or are images only 100px wide? I suggest using the gallery tag to include images at the end of the story in full size. Often the widths parameter is set to at least 800px and the heights parameters is set to 600px (correct me if i am wrong; check the photo essay category for previous submissions).
:6. The long quote included in article which is more than 80% of it is there like if it was released under creative commons. Did the speaker confirm the licensing properly beyond saying 'sure, put it in Wikinews if you want'?
:This is not an actionable note, I think the image quality or post processing could be improved. Like this camera does not cope very well with darker environment.
:As noted previously, it is better to report on this much sooner after it happened. I suggest that you team up with a friend to help you with transcription and write-up. This can be either IRL friend or an online peer who is responsive and is accurate and understands, or wants to understand, what needs to be done. It would be ideal if submissions did not occur two weeks after the event each time.
:I think items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 can be addressed before publishing. Hope this makes sense.
:Many thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 09:48, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
::I made all these changes, some are useful. I don't want to get too far into original research. I did discuss with Gallanter publishing this piece, though I did not record it.

== Review pending? ==
This article has been awaiting review for two weeks. If it's not going to get looked at, I would appreciate a notification so that alternative publishing options can be explored, as the person being quoted put considerable work into confirming that the transcript is accurate. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 15:53, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
*I'm not a reviewer and I can't speak for them, but if I were you, I would look into alternative publishing options. For example, at [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Proposal to cease publishing after around April 14]], [[User:Gryllida]] said that she has stopped reviewing because she doesn't have enough time to allocate to it now while also dealing with migration and closing down Wikinews. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 04:57, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
*:Thanks for the ping, I appreciate it. This is the second time I asked someone who was the subject of an article to put effort in for a piece I was trying to get published, and the first time it didn't get published and it's a very bad look. I won't really need to look into that until someone threatens to delete this instead of reviewing it, but as it's just basically waiting out the clock that seems likely, I agree. I'd like for you to get credit for your copyediting too. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 13:27, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

[[File:Wikinews-logo.png|right|220px|thumb|Logo of Wikinews, adopted by the community through a [[meta:Wikinews logo contest voting|logo contest]] held in January–February 2005. It replaced the [[:File:Wikinews logo.png|beta version]] logo.]]
The Wikinews project was scheduled to be closed on May 4, 2026, after the [[meta:Wikimedia Foundation/Board of Trustees|Board of Trustees]] of the {{W|Wikimedia Foundation}} announced on March 30 its final decision to close all language editions of the project.
Wikinews was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives, including {{w|Wikipedia}}, {{w|Wiktionary}}, and {{w|Wikimedia Commons}}, which support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of Wikinews was raised for consideration in late 2025, with a Wikimedia Foundation task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[meta:Public consultation about Wikinews|a period of public consultation about Wikinews]]. After this process, the Board announced in March 2026 that the 31 active editions of Wikinews would be placed in read-only mode indefinitely.
In the announcement message, trustee [[meta:User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]] said, "We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement, and we understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn’t able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias."
Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&diff=prev&oldid=4306 --> and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay, leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --> The English-language Wikinews was formally created December 2 of that year, with German following one day later.<!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)-->
The project's early development followed a series of community discussions and milestones in late 2004 and early 2005. A [[meta:Wikinews/License straw poll|non-binding straw poll]] on content licensing began on October 26, 2004, alongside discussions on the project's scope and policies. The initial demo site, hosted at ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20041117013229/http://demo.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page demo.wikinews.org]'', was later moved to the English Wikinews domain on December 2, 2004.
Following the launch of the English and German editions in December 2004, additional language editions were created in early 2005, including Dutch, French, Swedish, Spanish, Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, and Portuguese. The project also adopted a [[:m:Wikinews/Logo|logo]] in February 2005 through a [[:m:Wikinews logo contest voting|community voting process]].

Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia. In a 2010 interview, researcher {{w|Andrew Lih}} commented, "[I]t’s not clear that the wiki process really gears itself towards deadlines and group narrative writing. These are two things that are very hard to do in a wiki context. So it’s kind of against the nature of the wiki community and the wiki culture that has been produced already. And I think that is providing some kind of a tension in terms of getting Wikipedians to write for an organization such as Wikinews."
At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.

With the [[WN:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]], there are several tasks that could be done to ensure the read-only version of ''Wikinews'' is presented appropriately. We can use this page to track that work.
If you are a non-reviewer and non-admin and still want to help, consider the following tasks:
* See the list of [[:Category:flag|flagged discussions]] and weigh in on any of them to help resolve the issues.
* See the list of requests at [[WN:DR|Deletion requests]] and weigh in on any of them to help move the needle towards resolution
* Know of any other tasks that need done? Post on the [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews|talk page]]
* Contribute to our last article: [[Wikinews:Story preparation/Wikinews closes after 21 years]]
== Reviewer tasks ==
I'm not sure how disabling FlaggedRevs will affect unsighted changes so reviewers should work through the list to ensure the stable version is what we want to remain permanent:
* [[:Category:Review]]
== DPL ==
DPL will likely be disabled, causing an error to be reported on any page that uses DPL to return a list of pages.
We use DPL on many pages that will need to be updated to avoid having an error reported. The following is a list of pages we should probably remove DPL from and replace with static lists:
* [[Main page]]
* [[Newsroom]]
* [[Wikinews:Water cooler]]
* [[Wikinews:Archives]] (and a boat-load of its subpages)
* <s>[[Categories]]</s> {{done}}
* Infoboxes (see below)
Pages using DPL: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages using the DynamicPageList extension}}
The above number will likely remain misleadingly high due to [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423512 Pabricator T423512]. This was likely caused by [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Limit the FlaggedRevs extension to the article namespace?|our disabling FlaggedRevs in template namespace]]. The ticket is still open and being worked as of this writing.
=== Archives ===
Our [[WN:Archives]] is largely organized using DPL, using {{tl|DateDPL}} extensively. I'm not really sure how to tackle this. See [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews#Our Archives]] and weigh in if you can.
=== Infoboxes ===
: See also: [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts#In anticipation of DPL being disabled]]
: See also: [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews#Bot to convert DPL to static lists]]
All of the infoboxes we place on articles use DPL.
See the following for examples of how DPL is being converted to static lists:
* [[Template:Afghanistan]] (manually rebuild using {{tl|Infosection}} to replace {{tl|infobox}})
* [[Template:Albania]]
* [[Template:Mauritania]] (already used {{tl|Infosection}} instead of {{tl|infobox}}, simply replace DPL with copied/pasted static list)

== Archive published articles ==
We should archive all published articles and make sure the quality is at the level we want it to be. See [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]] for instructions on the archival process.
This will require someone who is both a reviewer and admin to complete, as admin can't sight changes and published articles are protected to admin-only.
In addition to the below list, there are categories of "archived-but-not-really-archived" articles that could be addressed:
* [[:Category:Archived-bot]]

/* DPL */ oye, our use of DPL is significant

With the [[WN:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]], there are several tasks that could be done to ensure the read-only version of ''Wikinews'' is presented appropriately. We can use this page to track that work.
If you are a non-reviewer and non-admin and still want to help, consider the following tasks:
* See the list of [[:Category:flag|flagged discussions]] and weigh in on any of them to help resolve the issues.
* See the list of requests at [[WN:DR|Deletion requests]] and weigh in on any of them to help move the needle towards resolution
* Know of any other tasks that need done? Post on the [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews|talk page]]
* Contribute to our last article: [[Wikinews:Story preparation/Wikinews closes after 21 years]]
== Reviewer tasks ==
I'm not sure how disabling FlaggedRevs will affect unsighted changes so reviewers should work through the list to ensure the stable version is what we want to remain permanent:
* [[:Category:Review]]
== DPL ==
DPL will likely be disabled, causing an error to be reported on any page that uses DPL to return a list of pages.
We use DPL on many pages that will need to be updated to avoid having an error reported. The following is a list of pages we should probably remove DPL from and replace with static lists:
* [[Main page]]
* [[Newsroom]]
* [[Wikinews:Water cooler]]
* [[Wikinews:Archives]] (and a boat-load of its subpages)
* [[Categories]] (heavy use of {{tl|Topic cat/latest}})
* Infoboxes (see below)
Pages using DPL: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages using the DynamicPageList extension}}
The above number will likely remain misleadingly high due to [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423512 Pabricator T423512]. This was likely caused by [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Limit the FlaggedRevs extension to the article namespace?|our disabling FlaggedRevs in template namespace]]. The ticket is still open and being worked as of this writing.
=== Archives ===
Our [[WN:Archives]] is largely organized using DPL, using {{tl|DateDPL}} extensively. I'm not really sure how to tackle this. See [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews#Our Archives]] and weigh in if you can.
=== Infoboxes ===
: See also: [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts#In anticipation of DPL being disabled]]
: See also: [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews#Bot to convert DPL to static lists]]
All of the infoboxes we place on articles use DPL.
See the following for examples of how DPL is being converted to static lists:
* [[Template:Afghanistan]] (manually rebuild using {{tl|Infosection}} to replace {{tl|infobox}})
* [[Template:Albania]]
* [[Template:Mauritania]] (already used {{tl|Infosection}} instead of {{tl|infobox}}, simply replace DPL with copied/pasted static list)
Feel free to add to this page.

== Archive published articles ==
We should archive all published articles and make sure the quality is at the level we want it to be. See [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]] for instructions on the archival process.
This will require someone who is both a reviewer and admin to complete, as admin can't sight changes and published articles are protected to admin-only.
In addition to the below list, there are categories of "archived-but-not-really-archived" articles that could be addressed:
* [[:Category:Archived-bot]]
* [[:Category:AutoArchived]]
* [[:Category:Archived by Gryllida]]
Published, but not archived articles:
