At 07:00 UTC today (19:00 NZST, local time), the polls closed in the [[w:New Zealand general election 2005|New Zealand general election, 2005]].  
&lt;!-- UNCOMMENT THIS TEXT ONLY IN THE EVENT OF A CENTRE-LEFT VICTORY
The [[w:New Zealand Labour Party|Labour Party]] and its allies have won sufficient seats in the New Zealand [[w:New Zealand Parliament|House of Representatives]] for the governing coalition to remain in office.
--&gt;
&lt;!-- UNCOMMENT THIS TEXT ONLY IN THE EVENT OF A CENTRE-RIGHT VICTORY
The [[w:New Zealand National Party|National Party]] has won sufficient seats in the New Zealand [[w:New Zealand Parliament|House of Representatives]] to form a new government.
--&gt;

[[w:New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]]- has won 50 seats and [[w:New Zealand National Party|National Party]] has won 49 in the 122-member [[w:New Zealand Parliament|House of Representatives]] , which has increased by two (from 120) because the Maori Party won four electorate seats, more than its proportion of the party vote entitled it to (Called in [[w:Mixed Member Proportional|MMP]] an [[w:overhang seat|overhang]]). 

Neither the [[w:New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]]-led coalition or the [[w:New Zealand National Party|National Party]] have won sufficient seats to govern on their own, and will require the backing of other smaller parties to govern in a coalition.

There are 193,348 special votes still to be counted. Official results are expected to be announced on 1 October 2005.

== Wind down and migration activities ==

Per the Board of Trustees, all versions of Wikinews are to be made read-only starting 2026-05-04. I'd like to get a sense of what the community thinks are needed actions for three distinct activities:
#Local wind-down priorities
#Migration activities (to the extent that there is an appetite to migrate at all)
#What, if any actions, the community wants to take to propose a renewed/reopened version of Wikinews (e.g. see [[:m:Wikinews Pulse]])

As for #1, I think that there should be some general wiki clean-up (deleting any old spam, marking pages as historical, connecting items to Wikidata properties, etc.) and I propose that the last article published here is about Wikinews closing. I would like to draft it and see if anyone wants to review it for publication immediately before closure. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''vf&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 22:29, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

:Justin, i created a new wiki. Don [[User:BigKrow|Don]] 22:31, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:The community must find a way to publish at least one article per day if it is ever to return to Wikimedia servers I think. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 00:04, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
:[[Wikinews closes after 21 years]]. Note this was also proposed earlier at [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#The_last_Wikinews_article]], lest anyone think that I had an original idea or was trying to steal someone else's thunder. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''vf&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 00:25, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

== Join the central discussion on Wikinews future and migration ==

Hello English Wikinews community, '''A central discussion page has been created on Meta-Wiki to discuss the future of Wikinews and the possibility of migration to alternative hosting platforms''', if communities across different language editions wish to pursue it. This includes discussions about potential hosting options, migration approaches, and related technical considerations.

'''This central page is intended to help continue discussions even after local Wikinews sites become read-only after May 4, and to bring together currently scattered discussions into one place so that communities can collaborate more effectively'''.
You are invited to share your views in any preferred language on the page [[meta:Migration of Wikinews and future hosts]], under the section for your respective language edition. 

(This notification does not advocate for any specific decision, including whether communities should pursue migration.)

== Ezpr2 bug with empty custom message ==

Issue: .... then, i clicked submit, and the story published. I left weird looking messages to users: they included template, one user was addressed by name and others were addressed as &quot;User&quot;.

Proposed fix: I think if i specified custom message but did not fill it in, i should get asked to fill it in before submitting my review. (Also, in edit summary to user talk page, the section name should be included so i can click it in edit history page, and go directly to that section.) 

Hope it makes sense... 

Thanks a lot. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:43, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: The issue with the {{{user}}} parameter showing as resolved has been fixed. I recently made some modifications to the notification system, and I guess I introduced that bug during the process. Sorry about that.
:Regarding the template being used when the custom comment is empty: that was intentional, as otherwise an empty section would be created on the user's talk page. I will also add a check so that if the custom comment is empty, the reviewer cannot submit the review. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 13:17, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

== &quot;Incorrectly flagged articles&quot; ==

At [[Wikinews:Newsroom]], there is a section labeled &quot;Incorrectly flagged articles&quot;. This section appears to be a mess. There are four retracted older articles in there, which are supposedly &quot;incorrectly&quot; flagged, but it is unknown what was incorrect about the flagging of those articles. Two of those articles are from 2013, one from 2021, and the other from 2025, so if anything is supposed to be done about them, it should be done already.

However, the fifth article is [[Two Cuba-bound aid boats located by Mexican Navy after going missing]], an article which is currently {{tl|under review}}. It hasn't been &quot;flagged&quot; either correctly or incorrectly but is being reviewed. It ought to be listed in the &quot;Submitted for peer review&quot; section (where it does not currently appear) and omitted from &quot;Incorrectly flagged articles&quot;.

I asked a somewhat similar question at [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous/archives/2025/October]] but the problem doesn't appear to have been resolved. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 03:05, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
: In the case of the article [[Two Cuba-bound aid boats located by Mexican Navy after going missing]], it has been marked stable (&quot;flagged&quot; in FlaggedRevs) in error, before being published. This can happen if a reviewer &quot;sights&quot; or approves changes before the article is published, which is relatively easy to accidentally do. [[User:Bawolff/sandbox/powerFlag]] no longer seems to work to de-flag articles in FlaggedRevs. But that article should disappear from the list once it's published or deleted as abandoned. 
: The other issue is a lack of consensus or documentation on exactly how to retract an article.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 07:02, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==

Hello everyone,

This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as &lt;code&gt;Module:Itemgroup/list&lt;/code&gt;).

'''The Change:'''&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. 

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.

'''What You Need To Do:'''&lt;br /&gt;
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

'''Deadline:'''&lt;br /&gt;
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.

Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 17:09, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

== Main page leads not updating properly ==

The leads for the Main page are not updating properly on the main page, for some reason. They are correctly displayed when viewed individually. They are no longer using FlaggedRevs, so it isn't a problem of sighting. 

When I start to change the Main page, I can select &quot;show preview&quot; and the leads show correctly, but when I save changes to the main page, a cached version of the leads remains. The date is correct, so I know the page is updating. I also tried &lt;code&gt;?action=purge&lt;/code&gt; at the end of the URL and that doesn't work. 

They are properly displayed [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox#Main_page_leads_test|in my Sandbox]]

It's visible across three different browsers for me, even after clearing my browser caches. 

Any thoughts on what it could be?

== DPL, our archives, and potential bot use ==

Our archive pages, the pages that actually list our archived articles in an organized, structured manner, all use DPL and therefore will all be broken when DPL is uninstalled from the project. 

I estimate 3-4 thousand pages are involved. For example all of the linked pages on [[Wikinews:Archives/Date/2010]] use DPL. There are 23 total &quot;year&quot; pages similar to that one, each with a page for nearly each month and a page for nearly each day of each month, all using DPL. 

I have no idea how to fix that short of utilizing a bot, which has been offered by [[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]] on a related [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421796#11830506 Phabricator ticket]. There are some catches:

# The bot was [[User talk:Dexbot#Unauthorized bot|indefinitely blocked]] by Pi zero 12 years ago,[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dexbot] as it was &quot;...operated without authorization in violation of project policy, and operated with an effective bot flag without local control as well as without authorization.&quot; Ladsgroup explained that the bot was removing inter-wiki translation links.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421796#11831335] Given that Pi is no longer with us, I believe community consent to unblock is recommended.
# If the bot is unblocked, I believe it will still need admin and flood privileges in order to operate effectively, requiring community consent. We'd need to request a bureaucrat to make that change and there are already open and unresolved requests for them. We may need to engage Stewards. All of that would take time. 

Questions:

{{date|May 2, 2007}}

The tomb of former general secretary of the {{w|Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party}}, {{w|János Kádár}}, located in [[Budapest]], [[Hungary]] in the {{w|Kerepesi Cemetery}}, was vandalised on Wednesday night. 

Vandals accessed Kádár's casket by cutting a 40 cm hole into it and then removed some of his remains, police have confirmed. Reports say the urn containing his wife's ashes was also stolen. In addition, the vandals wrote &quot;murderer and traitor may not rest in holy ground&quot; on a memorial to communist leaders near Kádár's tomb.

&quot;Not all the grave site was dug up. Experts are going to open the casket but as far as we can tell through the hole that has been cut into the coffin there are bones missing,&quot; said Endre Kormos, a spokesman for the Budapest Police Department. The damaged coffin has been removed by authorities for further athropological investigations. Police also said a plate of marble that was covering his grave was also stolen.

Kádár was a controversial and important figure of the 20th-century Hungarian history. He was the leader of the country in the period of {{w|Goulash Communism}}, when Hungary had one of the most liberal systems in the Eastern Bloc, however, he also assisted the Soviet troops in crushing the {{w|1956 Hungarian Revolution}}, and is held responsible for the jailing and execution of revolutionists, including {{w|Imre Nagy}} and other members of the government.

The Hungarian Prime Minister {{w|Ferenc Gyurcsany}}, the center-right opposition party {{w|Fidesz}} and other political parties condemned the act, the Russian ''Pravda'' reports.

== Open bureaucrat actions ==

I've spent all of 20 seconds looking at that -- why would that not be stale at this time??--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) [[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 14:01, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

:There was more information obtained from a source recently. Talk page and scoop has details. Published sources do not have it. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 03:58, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

== Stevie Young of AC/DC ==

I'm not planning to do anything more with [[AC/DC guitarist Stevie Young admitted to hospital in Buenos Aires, spokesperson says]], but I wanted to let you know that according to https://ultimateclassicrock.com/ac-dc-stage-return/ he has returned to performing with the band after being released from the hospital. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 13:30, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

== Central discussion page on Meta-Wiki ==

I think it's now time to create a central page on Meta-Wiki for discussions related to the migration of Wikinews and its different language editions. Would you like to start that page and also notify the Russian Wikinews community about it? [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 10:09, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

:Russian Wikinews already knows snd got a thread about it in their forum. I do not think I have the capacity to open discussion at Meta, sorry, I am needing some sleep right now. I am hoping someone does it within next few hours, if not, then I will write something. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:11, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: Sure. I am suggesting a central place so that, even after Wikinews becomes read-only, we can continue our discussions on Meta about what needs to be done next. [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 10:31, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: I have started a Meta page for a central discussion about the migration, including participation from other language editions of Wikinews. This will also allow discussions to continue after the Wikinews sites become read-only on May 4. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 14:59, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thank you, [[User:Asked42|Asked42]]. I left a few comment there but I was not able to follow all discussions. If my help is needed for migration please let me know, I can help with sysadmin or sysop tasks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:58, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::Sure thing @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]. I am very sure we are going to need your help for the migration in a significant way. As one of the active bureaucrats, I assume you will need to create the site creation task and handle further configuration after the wiki has been migrated. I assume I can reach you on Telegram or email? -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 17:00, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

== Reviewing my very first ever Wikinews article ==

Would you mind reviewing [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in a landmark ruling|my very first ever Wikinews article]], since the previous reviewer was unable to complete reviewing it? Thank you so much in advance! [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 17:42, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] 
:1. That review was completed. I revised the page and re-submitted for review.
:2. I posted [[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Proposal_to_cease_publishing_after_around_April_14|this]].

== Sighting changes ==

I am working through the list of unsighted changes ahead of the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]]. A number of these edits appear to be yours and relate to the use of a script that marked articles as ‘archived’ without bringing them into compliance with [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]]. Some also appear to have left routine changes (such as protection updates) unsighted.

Could you review these and bring them into compliance where needed? It would also be helpful if you could revisit the articles in [[:Category:Archived by Gryllida]] and complete the [[Wikinews:Archive conventions|archiving process]] where applicable.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 12:59, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

:I don't think it will be worth of my time. It is better if someone else does it. I do not have the energy to negotiate what the 'correct' requirements are. The only thing I would be able to do is to edit protect them. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 23:12, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
:For your reference, I may be able to help with tasks which are not that controversial. If you would like me to do something specific, please let me know, I am happy to assist. I decided not to review or write new articles after this day and for the next few weeks until migration is completed (if and when it is) as then my free time becomes available for efforts related with the change of the host.

== I could use some help de-escalating a situation ==

I've tried to pull back and keep my comments to a minimum and not make things personal, but that doesn't work when I'm the only one doing it.  Any tips on how to keep the matter of the style guide proposal from spilling any further out of control?  I'm worried the matter will get tag-teamed into an artificial closure before the community has a chance to judge it on its merits.

== Heated moment on fire article: A request ==

I would like you to remove your talk page post on the &quot;small fire&quot; article.  It includes name-calling.  There's other stuff there, of course, but I picked that to mention because it's not subjective, and it would be enough by itself.  I'd like to take your complaints seriously, but I don't feel I can do that if they come in that form.
That post puts me in a position in which I feel I have to defend myself, or at least redirect the conversation.
I do not mind if you delete this post of mine with this request.  Might be better if you did. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 01:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

How's that for 'creepy'? I will try to do minor editing to improve your pending articles, but I won't review any of your articles or engage in any discussions involving you during that time.

Re:&lt;blockquote&gt;ask yourself, &quot;Would a school teacher in Manila care about this? What about a waiter in Sydney or a young mother in Hong Kong?&quot; The answer should be a quick 'Yes', or you might be wasting your time here &lt;/blockquote&gt;

:{{re|Ottawahitech}} Let's keep football articles aside, because football is the most popular sport, and people in any country do care about their favourite clubs.  OR year in review contains tonnes of OR, some of them are from Australia, so satisfies the waiter in Sydney.  Uruguayan Language academy news is relevant to people with different language, and how a first-world organisation treats other's traditions, and customs (checks for school teacher in Manila as well as young mother in Hong Kong.  Explosion article is again, relevant to the waiter, who might want to reconsider asking the restaurant to check if their cooking area complies with health and safety regulation.  WTO's article seems relevant for people in the South East Asia, how their commute might be affected by this decision.

::Firstly: I appreciate your eagerness [no sarcasm!!]....I do! For a newbie, your output has been in the upper stratosphere and of excellent quality too! I think you RAWK!

So, the simple answer is: I'm extended a bit of niceness. Do I think that will turn into a publishable article? Absolutely not. But we have time (so-to-speak) to give the contributor a gentle nudge.

== How we will see unregistered users ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you.

== E-mail ==

I saw you asked someone else about e-mail and it became clear that it was because you are having problems using it. Are you trying to use a wikinewsie.org address? If so, I think that domain has probably lapsed. I think Acagastya took the lead in recovering data from there and setting up the newer [wn-reporters.org]. We can probably ping Acagastya if you have something to ask them. [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 19:35, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

== Your free advice ==

Hi Paul. On your user page you have the following quote: {{color|green|&quot;Within the first 3 sentences of any article you're writing, ask yourself, &quot;Would a school teacher in Manila care about this? What about a waiter in Sydney or a young mother in Hong Kong?&quot; The answer should be a quick 'Yes', or you might be wasting your time here: this is an international news site. Thusly, we serve a large audience.}} Not too long ago, a reviewer cited this quote as a reason for declining an [[WN:OR|original]] article. The article had other problems, but nevertheless, it peaked my interest. You have multiple articles, especially OR, which do not meet this standard. At least, I don't think &quot;[[Wikinews attends 2021 Texas Haunters Convention]]&quot; would have strong appeal to a school teacher in Manila, a waiter in Sydney, or a young mother in Hong Kong.&lt;br&gt;Therefore, I appeal to you to modify or remove those sentences from your user page. I think local news should be encouraged; especially original reporting. What you say as a reviewer, administrator and bureaucrat can be very influential. Cheers, [[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 00:41, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
: I agree, and: done. This business of 'Newsworthiness' has ALWAYS been bound up in some opionated fluffery, and maybe it always will be. I was (maybe clumsily) trying to convey that we have a BROAD array of peoples/cultures to whom our stuff should appeal (hopefully). VERY local things can absolutely appeal to many people -- and should always be encouraged here. To put a not-so-fine point on it: Right now, we just need good news being submitted by good reporters. Also: see the disclaimer I added to my page.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 14:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

== Heavy Water ==

Hi Paul. You wrote to Heavy Water: {{color|green|I'm fairly certain you may be the very first person (at least in a decade) around here to receive accreditation out-of-order. So, you've been a Reviewer for a bit now, and I just made you an Accredited Reporter. Go forth and do good deeds!}}&lt;br&gt;What exactly did you do besides add {{tl|archive top}} to the AR? See the [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:Accreditation_requests/Heavy_Water&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4723768 diff].  You even left the status as &quot;open&quot;.
How exactly did you 'make' Heavy Water an accredited reporter? Did you verify their identity and real name and set up an email account on wn-reporters.org as per [[Wikinews:Accreditation policy]]?&lt;br&gt;Being accredited is not a wiki permission and does not show up in user groups or user rights logs. Also, I thought we discussed this notion of 'out of order'. There is no order. Accredited is not part of a hierarchy of user rights. {{color|blue|Reviewer → Administrator → Bureaucrat → Checkuser}} is the only order I know of. Accredited is entirely outside of this system. And, indeed, at least one user has achieved all of those levels within the last decade without ever being accredited.

::Just saying, but all these things are kind of bordering on promotion. 18 articles on someone not notable enough to be mentioned anywhere else. 18 articles on a writer Russian Wikinews attends a lot? Including 4 in 4 days. I think if anything we need to crack down on how many of these we have, not give double time for something hardly notable. How is it that something like my Biden article, covered much more in media than this, is given half time before considered stale.

: @[[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]] @[[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]] @[[User:Asheiou|Asheiou]]  I'm tired and busy with work, but if memory serves, I recently communicated to Viktor that I/we are largely hitting the STOP BUTTON on most of these. His pictorials are (admittedly) fantastic, and the &quot;hobo tourism&quot; conceit is quite clever -- but the whole spider's nest forms a massive network of COI, Navel gazing and puffery. To give him some credit, he did take (marginal) action recently to (after prompting) re-focus the article on the presentation event '''itself'''. I would feel (maybe) more comfortable if he WAS NOT the reporter at RN Wikinews, reporting on an event, where he is giving a talk he gave, covering a trip he took and etc. etc. etc. Get my point? I've (maybe clumsily) tried to draw the line with him. He (and this isn't an insult) tends to try to stack up outside sources (which isn't a crime!) -- but I often can't pull them up ''and'' source material has to properly be glued into the story, as well. Am I making sense here? 9 sources does not automatically make a story &quot;better sourced&quot; than one with 2 sources.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 22:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

== Help with review ==

Hi 

(I am messaging all reviewers)

Hope you are doing well.

Here are submitted for peer review:

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks!

== Notifications ==

Hi Bddpaux 

Could you please '''review something in the next two days or so'''? The review queue is a bit too long. I appear to be unable to handle it alone.

Do you read wiki '''notifications'''?  I posted a message at water cooler and @mentioned your nick - do you get such messages or would you prefer that I post on your talk page?

What is '''the best way to notify you''' of the updates to the review queue, so that you don't miss it? I can send you talk page messages or emails.

There is a Subscribe button at the top right of the [[Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance]] page. If Notifications are readable for you, could you please click it? Then you will be notified of each new added section at that page. (It would help me a lot, as this is the place where I ask for help with my reviewing.)

:I've given careful thought to this. To pivot in a 'new' direction --- number 9, for sure! I view myself (sorry for the Army metaphor) as sort of a ''Staff Sargeant'' around here. I write news. I review articles. I do (Administrator) clean-up stuff [and maybe not as aggressively as I could, at times].

: A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.
: If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:
: 
:* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
:* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language
: 
: The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

:::It was some time ago, but we were both actively working on it.

Regardless, as it is original reporting, I was told the freshness does not apply in the same way - and we gatwicked some additional interview material into it, as well as having it translated to zh.wikinews.

[[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 02:38, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
::::Maybe I'm not sure I understand the word 'draftify' -- and I saw very little evidence that any gatwicking freshened it up. Do you know how to set up a sand box? You might do that with your OR stuff -- and then you can loop back at a later time any maybe loop that stuff into a brand new article. I checked the history and saw there was very little recent work that improved things. I would like to view that policy, if you can find it. And, while I'm at it: Let me clarify something. The concept of 'abandoned' might be a hair confusing. Freshness is critical around this place. There may be some 'changes' to an article, but those don't automatically freshen it up. I might've marked a couple of things as 'abandoned' when I should've just outright failed them for publication.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 11:53, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
:::::There is very little in the policies I have come across that really describes or endorses what is going on and what you are saying, and the discussion I started about Freshness at the policy talk page shows that really very few contributors agree with what is happening. If that was consensus, I think consensus has changed. Either way, it's an embarrassment that people will see a story published on zh wikinews about a performance in New York City and never see the story written in English.

::I truly and deeply do not understand how I could possibly be more clear about his. In terms of freshness, an interview is NOT an automatic, super magical, get-out-of-jail-free card. I think I have been notably clear about that. Once again, let me say: The focal event is very important. On your article, the EVENT was ''the focal event.''' That event happened almost 3 weeks ago. I have been clear about that. Because you interviewed some people DOES NOT destroy the calendar in terms of freshness. It does not. And: ANY article that passes review will be published here. I focus very little on zhn.WN's standards (good, bad or otherwise). We have our standards.

== A new version of EzPR ==

Hi, a new version of the Easy Peer Review script has been prepared. Built on the legacy of the current version, it includes more features and has a more modern look and design. If you are interested, you can try it out and let me know what you think [[User talk:Asked42/EPR (new version)|on this talk page]]. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them as well.

This is currently an initial testing version. After installing the script, you can test it on any of your user sandbox pages (make sure the page contains the {{tl|review}} template). You may need to set up your sandbox to look like a draft article. If you don't want to do that extra work, you can instead try it on [[User:Asked42/sandbox2|my sandbox page]] to see how the script behaves in different situations, such as pass review, fail review, exception review, etc.

I haven't prepared any documentation pages yet since it's still too early and more modifications may be needed. So you'll have to follow your intuition while testing it (I will try to prepare some basic documentation soon). Hopefully this won't be too difficult, as I have tried to keep the design simple. Still if you need help or don't understand something feel free to ask me.

To install it, copy the code and add it to [{{fullurl:Special:MyPage/common.js|action=edit}} your common.js page]. You will then see a &quot;Review (EPR v2)&quot; option in your p-tb (or your tools menu) on any user-namespace page that contains the review template. After clicking the option a form should appear on the article.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot; copy&gt;
{{subst:lusc|1=User:Asked42/EPRv2.js}}
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

* [[3.2 earthquake hits near San Ramon, California]] submit it for review now mate Nov-20
* [[Dina Titus presses Nevada governor over dropped probe, fine against Musk’s Boring Co.]] minor editing for structure. check copyright of 3 large quotes. get info or comment from FD -- Nov-20 
* [[UN Security Council approves Trump peace plan for Gaza]] major news, too short. see [[WN:IP]]. only work on it if it can be refreshed. Nov-18

1. Interview contents was verified, please check scoop. 

2. The interviewee requested a minor change, which I do not know whether it is acceptable to add footnote to an external page.

3. Could you please push through to publish this if you consider it has been sufficiently revised for neutrality. The talk page is too long for me to read and there are many concerns on it which I do not have the capacity to address.

== 'Wikinews streak' comp proposal ==

Hi

I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] competition goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot; - for as many consecutive fortnights as possible

A role would have to be selected at start of the activity: this could be either ''authoring'' a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused ''editing'' on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' for 2-3 days after an event that is being subject of a report, to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think? Parameters are subject to discussion e.g.

* 'once every two weeks' or 'once a week' or 'once a month'
* should this be same for all or each person decides for themselves
* how long total comp running for, 12 weeks or 24 weeks or some other time
* some other ideas how to modify this

This template makes an introduction and article list at the top of the category for any geographical category '''smaller than a country''', such as a province, state, or city.

== Usage ==
&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;{{PAGENAME}}|areatype=''text''|parent=''text''|adjective=''text''&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; |pipe=''text''|wikipedia=''text''|commons=''text''&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; |locimage=''Imagefilename''|flagimage=''Imagefilename''|sealimage=''Imagefilename''&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; |sceneimage=''Imagefilename''|scenetext=''text''&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;
*&lt;code&gt;areatype=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is a generic name for the type of area (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;parent=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is the specific name of a larger area to which the area belongs (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;adjective=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is an adjective that can modify &lt;code&gt;areatype&lt;/code&gt;; usually alternative to &lt;code&gt;parent&lt;/code&gt; (optional) 
*&lt;code&gt;pipe=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is a short name for the area, to use in the initial description sentence instead of &lt;nowiki&gt;{{PAGENAME}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;wikipedia=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is a Wikipedia page to link to (without the &lt;code&gt;w:&lt;/code&gt; prefix), instead of &lt;nowiki&gt;{{PAGENAME}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;commons=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is a Commons page to link to (without the &lt;code&gt;commons:&lt;/code&gt; prefix), instead of &lt;nowiki&gt;{{PAGENAME}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;locimage=''Imagefilename''&lt;/code&gt; is a locator image you want to display, minus the '''File:''' prefix (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;flagimage=''Imagefilename''&lt;/code&gt; is a flag image you want to display, minus the '''File:''' prefix (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;sealimage=''Imagefilename''&lt;/code&gt; is a seal image you want to display, minus the '''File:''' prefix; usually alternative to &lt;code&gt;flagimage&lt;/code&gt; (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;sceneimage=''Imagefilename''&lt;/code&gt; is a scenic image you want to display, minus the '''File&quot;''' prefix (optional)
*&lt;code&gt;scenetext=''text''&lt;/code&gt; is title text for the scenic image, if any (optional)

== Examples ==
For [[:Category:Alberta]], one could use
:&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;{{PAGENAME}}|areatype=province|parent=&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Canada]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;|locimage=Alberta-map.png|flagimage=Flag of Alberta.svg&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;
which should produce an introduction with initial text
:This is the category for the province of '''[[w:Alberta|Alberta]]''' in [[Canada]].
Alternatively, one could use
:&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;{{PAGENAME}}|areatype=province|adjective=&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Canada|Canadian]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;|locimage=Alberta-map.png|flagimage=Flag of Alberta.svg&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;
which should produce an introduction with initial text
:This is the category for the [[Canada|Canadian]] province of '''[[w:Alberta|Alberta]]'''.

{{Infosection|name=Profile of Damien Thomlinson|
Damien Thomlinson is an Australian commando, rally car navigator, swimmer and para-snowboarder. He joined the Australian Army in 2005, and went on to serve in Afghanistan. While serving with the 2nd Commando Regiment in Tarin Kowt District in April 2009, the vehicle he was in drove over an improvised explosive planted by the Taliban, which resulted in multiple injuries including his legs being amputated. He is attempting to qualify for the 2014 [[Paralympic Games|Winter Paralympics]].

== [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians]] ==

Hello, Michael.C.Wright! Could you please remove the page protection from the article so that I can address the issues that you brought up? Thank you in advance! [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 23:23, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

:It doesn't work that way... [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 00:07, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
: @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] is correct. The page protection follows standard [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]] to preserve the article as a snapshot in time. Articles are not intended to be continuously updated and instead should be complete at publication. In this case, however, a full review was not conducted and significant issues were not resolved prior to publication, requiring post-publication correction.
: The publishing reviewer appears to be [[User talk:Gryllida#c-Gryllida-20260406231200-Michael.C.Wright-20260406125900|checked out]] of the project. I would still prefer to allow time for them to respond before taking further action. They tend to keep an eye on this page and may yet weigh in either here or at the [[Wikinews:Deletion requests#Supreme Court of Finland convicts individuals and institutions involved in writing and publishing pamphlet for inciting hatred against gays and lesbians|retraction request]].[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 01:11, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

== Thank You ==

Hi [[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]], and thank you so much for your work on the Wind down of Wikinews and cleaning up the DPL usage. I have been following the recent changes and it's truly praiseworthy. The sheer amount you haveve accomplished is remarkable.

From article reviewing to maintenance your contributions have been a constant presence since the day I joined English wikinews. I have watched you do great work here, consistently and quietly and I am not sure I ever got the chance to properly say it. So, thank you. Thank you for everything you have given to this project, and for continuing to carry out the final cleanups even as most editors have moved on.

On a personal note, thank you as well for your guidance and assistance. It meant more than you might know. It's been a genuine pleasure meeting you here, and I sincerely hope our paths cross again across one of the sister projects. -- It's [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:45, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
: Thank you for the very kind words and I too have had the pleasure of working along side you. I have heard from more than one admin and/or reviewer very good things about all the tools you developed for the project. It's a shame we didn't get an earlier start, as I do feel we could have turned the tide for the project with enough like-minded people putting in the elbow grease!
: I look forward to working with you in the future and I'm sure we will.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 17:01, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

== One more? ==
Hello Michael C Wright, I hope you're doing well! 🙂 It's been two years since I made my last article for Wikinews, but in lieu of the project closure, I wanted to write one more on [[Pope Leo XIV visits four nations in Africa]], and was wondering if you could take a look! I truly understand if you don't want to or have the time, but if nothing else, I wanted to sincerely thank you for all the incredible work you've done here over the years. Since you became a reviewer [[Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/Michael.C.Wright|almost two years ago]], your work has been seen and truly appreciated by many including myself.

&lt;!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE --&gt;

=== Usage ===
*This template is traditionally, and usually, in the sources section.  It has sometimes been placed near the top of the story right after the introduction.
*This template implies the OR template, so the OR template is not needed, but sometimes it can be used anyway.
&lt;!-- we should also probably figure out if this applies to QA interview articles only, or any article where an interview was conducted to get the info--&gt;
* To place the template on the left rather than on the right, specify parameter value &lt;code&gt;left&lt;/code&gt;.
* Parameter &lt;code&gt;media&lt;/code&gt; (alias &lt;code&gt;medium&lt;/code&gt;) lists one or more standard interview media used, separated by whatever means desired; whitespace is recommended as a simple choice.  Places the article in tracking subcategories of [[:Category:Interviews]] for all listed standard interview-media.  The parameter is optional, but if omitted the article is placed in tracking subcategory[[:Category:Interview/unclassified]].  To see (or modify) the list of standard interview-media, see subtemplate {{tl|interview/media}}.

* [[:Category:Interviews]]

&lt;!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE --&gt;

=== Usage ===
This is primarily a subtemplate of {{tl|interview}}, though also designed to be usable as a standalone template.  Call it on an interview article page, providing as sole, unnamed argument a list of media through which the interview was conducted.  The list may be separated, or delimited, in any convenient manner (separation by whitespace is recommended as a simple choice).  The article is categorized in one or more subcategories of [[:Category:Interviews]] according to the medium (or media) used to conduct the interview.

=== Internals ===
A standard set of possible media are recognized, by simply checking for them as substrings of the provided parameter, which is why it doesn't matter what separators are used (nor does it matter what other unrecognized text occurs in the parameter).  If the parameter is missing or blank, the page is placed in [[:Category:Interview/unclassified]].  

This subtemplate itself only specifies the standard set of possible media, which at this writing are &lt;code&gt;video&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;audio&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;phone&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;email&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;irc&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;text&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;in-person&lt;/code&gt;; and some standard aliases for these, via {{tl|interview/media/alias}}, which also have the effect of causing &lt;code&gt;email&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;irc&lt;/code&gt; to each imply &lt;code&gt;text&lt;/code&gt;.  (There's also an alias &lt;code&gt;e-mail&lt;/code&gt; for &lt;code&gt;email&lt;/code&gt;.)  All other processing is delegated to subtemplate {{tl|interview/media/map}}, which, besides being convenient for data entry by making it easy to maintain the standard list here, is also algorithmically convenient as it allows the subtemplate to use [[Module:TScope#map]].

Add this template to the talk page of a protected page if you request that it be edited. It will be automatically listed below, and on the [[Wikinews:Admin action alerts]] page.

If the protected page is an archived published Wikinews article with a factual error, the edit will have to take the form of a {{tl|correction}}.

This sorts the page into [[:Category:Makeprotected]].

'''Note''': Do not &quot;[[w:Wikipedia:Template substitution|subst]]&quot; this template as '''&lt;nowiki&gt;{{subst:makeprotected}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;''', simply use '''&lt;nowiki&gt;{{makeprotected}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

----

Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Pace ==

Hi Lofi Gurl, there are not many reviewers available, and I think the current queue may take a couple days to be processed. (I am mostly outdoors and away on weekend.) My apologies, and thank you for reading and writing entertaining and specific stories. :-) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

:No problem, take your time and enjoy your weekend! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 15:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

:Are you able to specify the style issues present in the article as a reviewer, or is it my job to figure that out as the reporter? [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 19:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
:I haven't checked the article talk pages yet so sorry if this ends up being a pointless question [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:00, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]]. Reviewers can and often do correct style issues before publishing but they are not required to. It takes more of a reviewers time to correct for style along with everything else they must check before publishing. See [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]] to understand all the work that goes into reviewing an article. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Could you please [[WN:Attribution|attribute]] the &quot;''Political unrest and nationwide protests were expected in response to the axing of the impeachment.''&quot; sentence? Who said this? This would help the sentence to not read as a speculation made on behalf of ''Wikinews''.

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

My previous 8-9 articles over the last few months, and not a single one got reviewed. It is what it is. Yeah, you'll probably see me over at the current events articles on ENWP in the future. At least there you can work at your own pace. Why feel pressure to write fresh content if it can't get reviewed on time anyway?

::::Exactly - and the fact that no one was doing the reviews certainly puts out the message - whether true or not - that the reviewers care less about this project than the ones submitting the articles. This is made worse by the fact that there may be more reviewers than article contributors at this point. Regardless, we really needed a short term solution here, and no one was interested (actually, some WERE interested, but it got obfuscated away. Some people even claimed you supported the status quo!) So it goes! At least personally I met a few nice wiki folks I would not have found otherwise. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 16:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::It could be argued that I was more in a position to make an impact here since I was nade reviwer, but truthfully I just dont really know what I'm doing. I definitely didnt support the status quo, I just was not interested in loosening the site's guidelines.

:::::: With EzPR 2025, we can do partial reviews. So you could start a review and when you get to a point where you want help, you can save the partial review and tag another reviewer for a hand (I'd be happy to help). 
:::::: Also, if the review process is daunting enough to keep you from doing the review, I think it would help everyone if you could articulate what is holding you back. It could be that the same thing is impacting other reviewers and it should therefore be changed.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

If you still need more assistance, I can share some screenshots with you via email showing how to use the form. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

Hi all...

I would lile to request a major rewrite:

1) LA Times is paywalled. Please replace, and ensure new content is fully verifiable; then re-submit for review.

Please let me know if this is in error, or any questions or request assistance.

Thanks!

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

::Thank you for letting me know.

I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

----

== Pace ==

Hi Lofi Gurl, there are not many reviewers available, and I think the current queue may take a couple days to be processed. (I am mostly outdoors and away on weekend.) My apologies, and thank you for reading and writing entertaining and specific stories. :-) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]]. Reviewers can and often do correct style issues before publishing but they are not required to. It takes more of a reviewers time to correct for style along with everything else they must check before publishing. See [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]] to understand all the work that goes into reviewing an article. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Works in 'Source editing' mode if it is the same toolbar as Visual Editor.
::::It adds a star icon. Clicking it prompts for the news URL, and then a few seconds alter it adds the filled source template at cursor position.
::::Note that date may be missing. Authors usually are missing. Publisher name isn't always correct (needs to be such that you can wikilink to wikipedia). So you need to check what it generated. But at least it gets title and date right 90% of the time for me and it makes writing easier.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! That sounds like a good offer. Definitely curious to see what I can bring as a reviewer. I have no expirience blocking users or deleting pages. Give me a few days to sleep on it. Thanks! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 15:02, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]] 

Thanks for considering. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:49, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick.

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:A detailed documentation on how to use the peer-review form is [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)|available here]]. If you still need more assistance, I can share some screenshots with you via email showing how to use the form. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

:I'll try to do a few reviews before I go out tonight. I'm going to focus on reviews since it's a fair assumption now that nobody will even look at the articles I submit. It's the only way I can try to fix this project's problems at this point. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 16:13, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest. Thanks for the message. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 19:40, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you for letting me know. I actually went to great lengths to balance the article, get perspectives from all sides, sources from all sides, strongly ground the article in the sources, provide perspectives from all sides, and stay neutral and stick to the facts. This is my very first ever Wikinews article. Since you seem to care about both factuality and neutrality, would you mind reviewing the article? I think it is ready for publication.

::::Thank you for your review. I appreciate most of your edits, but in [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002549&amp;oldid=5002548 this edit] you removed the global scientific consensus regarding homosexuality saying that it is &quot;emotional language&quot;, but it is scientific language that all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations use to describe homosexuality, especially against false claims such those made in the pamphlet. I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Is your review complete? Is the article ready for publication? This is my very first ever Wikinews article, so I'm not entirely familiar with process here. Thank you for your help.

Hi, Lofi Gurl! I appreciate your edits and your review, but I think that changing the title made it too vague, and the previous title was more specific. You said that [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_makes_crimes_against_humanity_convictions_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002876&amp;oldid=5002875 &quot;Don wanted this title changed I think&quot;], but I actually couldn't find a comment from Don saying that he wanted the title changed. Are you done reviewing the article? Can we publish the article now? --[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 20:28, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

::Your edits seem to be only related to getting the article ready for publication, so that should not be a problem, right? Also, oh no! That's awful! Why are they closing Wikinews?

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice. That pretty much sums it up, let me know if you have any further questions. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 18:47, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's fine. Don't worry. I kind of knew this project was a dead end job and wasn't really worth the effort I was putting in trying to save it. I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:Yes I was actually going to ask if we could program something like that, because en.wp has it. Thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 17:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Works in 'Source editing' mode if it is the same toolbar as Visual Editor.
::::It adds a star icon. Clicking it prompts for the news URL, and then a few seconds alter it adds the filled source template at cursor position.
::::Note that date may be missing. Authors usually are missing. Publisher name isn't always correct (needs to be such that you can wikilink to wikipedia). So you need to check what it generated. But at least it gets title and date right 90% of the time for me and it makes writing easier.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

:::: Congratulations! I'll help out however I can. My availability will be short and sporadic likely for the next week. But the goal is not to just hand you the reviewer role and let you learn it on your own (that happened to me). 
:::: First step is ensuring you now see the &quot;Review&quot; action in the top-right of your browser when you view articles in the review queue. Once you click on &quot;Review&quot; for an article, you should now see an interface that allows you to select options via drop-down menus for the five areas we review. All of those drop-downs must be &quot;pass&quot; for the article to pass. Otherwise the gadget will label the article 'not ready.'

I'm sorry if my attempts to get _some_ change going in time to make a difference bothered you, and definitely not happy that no change happened and that people obfuscated the issue on the talk page to the point where nothing was clear. That all speaks to the problems here. There is so much disrespect floating around on this site currently, I do tend to think that there isn't much to be done as it is right now. I fully understand your frustration, and seeing it was part of what motivated me to seek change. This site was in a state of emergency and no one acted to fix it.

::::Exactly - and the fact that no one was doing the reviews certainly puts out the message - whether true or not - that the reviewers care less about this project than the ones submitting the articles.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year. I overestimated what I was able to accomplish as a reviewer, I just don't have the time or focus right now and I'd review articles if I wasn't so concerned about publicly making a mistake. But I think Wikinews needs to be publishing at least one article per day to remain a viable destination for readers and to encourage more participation.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice.

== Negativity ==

You've been a pretty solid contributor and I hope that you don't let the negativity and hypocrisy surrounding this site get to you too much. At least, I've noted how you've been trying to move things more than many others here. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 02:14, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's fine. Don't worry. I kind of knew this project was a dead end job and wasn't really worth the effort I was putting in trying to save it. I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well. When one door closes, another one opens. I try to remember [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Lofi_Gurl#En.wn this conversation] when I feel shitty regarding my contributions to this project.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]].

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

Hi all...

I would lile to request a major rewrite:

1) LA Times is paywalled. Please replace, and ensure new content is fully verifiable; then re-submit for review.

Please let me know if this is in error, or any questions or request assistance.

Thanks!

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

::Thank you for letting me know.

I appreciate most of your edits, but in [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002549&amp;oldid=5002548 this edit] you removed the global scientific consensus regarding homosexuality saying that it is &quot;emotional language&quot;, but it is scientific language that all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations use to describe homosexuality, especially against false claims such those made in the pamphlet. I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

----

Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lofi Gurl, there are not many reviewers available, and I think the current queue may take a couple days to be processed. (I am mostly outdoors and away on weekend.) My apologies, and thank you for reading and writing entertaining and specific stories. :-) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]]. Reviewers can and often do correct style issues before publishing but they are not required to. It takes more of a reviewers time to correct for style along with everything else they must check before publishing. See [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]] to understand all the work that goes into reviewing an article. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])? 

Many thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 23:12, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::It adds a star icon. Clicking it prompts for the news URL, and then a few seconds alter it adds the filled source template at cursor position.
::::Note that date may be missing. Authors usually are missing. Publisher name isn't always correct (needs to be such that you can wikilink to wikipedia). So you need to check what it generated. But at least it gets title and date right 90% of the time for me and it makes writing easier.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! That sounds like a good offer. Definitely curious to see what I can bring as a reviewer. I have no expirience blocking users or deleting pages. Give me a few days to sleep on it. Thanks! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 15:02, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]] 

Thanks for considering. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:49, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick.

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:A detailed documentation on how to use the peer-review form is [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)|available here]]. If you still need more assistance, I can share some screenshots with you via email showing how to use the form. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

:I'll try to do a few reviews before I go out tonight. I'm going to focus on reviews since it's a fair assumption now that nobody will even look at the articles I submit. It's the only way I can try to fix this project's problems at this point. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 16:13, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest. Thanks for the message. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 19:40, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you for letting me know. I actually went to great lengths to balance the article, get perspectives from all sides, sources from all sides, strongly ground the article in the sources, provide perspectives from all sides, and stay neutral and stick to the facts. This is my very first ever Wikinews article. Since you seem to care about both factuality and neutrality, would you mind reviewing the article? I think it is ready for publication. What do you think? --[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 20:27, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

::::Thank you for your review. I appreciate most of your edits, but in [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002549&amp;oldid=5002548 this edit] you removed the global scientific consensus regarding homosexuality saying that it is &quot;emotional language&quot;, but it is scientific language that all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations use to describe homosexuality, especially against false claims such those made in the pamphlet. I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Is your review complete? Is the article ready for publication? This is my very first ever Wikinews article, so I'm not entirely familiar with process here. Thank you for your help.

Hi, Lofi Gurl! I appreciate your edits and your review, but I think that changing the title made it too vague, and the previous title was more specific. You said that [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_makes_crimes_against_humanity_convictions_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002876&amp;oldid=5002875 &quot;Don wanted this title changed I think&quot;], but I actually couldn't find a comment from Don saying that he wanted the title changed. Are you done reviewing the article? Can we publish the article now? --[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 20:28, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

::Your edits seem to be only related to getting the article ready for publication, so that should not be a problem, right? Also, oh no! That's awful! Why are they closing Wikinews?

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice. That pretty much sums it up, let me know if you have any further questions. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 18:47, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's fine. Don't worry. I kind of knew this project was a dead end job and wasn't really worth the effort I was putting in trying to save it. I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::It adds a star icon. Clicking it prompts for the news URL, and then a few seconds alter it adds the filled source template at cursor position.
::::Note that date may be missing. Authors usually are missing. Publisher name isn't always correct (needs to be such that you can wikilink to wikipedia). So you need to check what it generated. But at least it gets title and date right 90% of the time for me and it makes writing easier.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback.

Hi - I'm new here, trying to help out (recruited from elsewiki). I see you've been contributing here a while - is it possible you are ready to become a reviewer? Would that interest you? I'm still learning what's going on here. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 21:26, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

::Reviewer permission granted. Congratulations, Lofi Gurl! Just reviewing one story a week would be more than sufficient, I think doing more than that is a risk of burnout. Up to you. :) Let me know if any questions. Thanks, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:40, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

:::: Congratulations! I'll help out however I can. My availability will be short and sporadic likely for the next week. But the goal is not to just hand you the reviewer role and let you learn it on your own (that happened to me). 
:::: First step is ensuring you now see the &quot;Review&quot; action in the top-right of your browser when you view articles in the review queue. Once you click on &quot;Review&quot; for an article, you should now see an interface that allows you to select options via drop-down menus for the five areas we review. All of those drop-downs must be &quot;pass&quot; for the article to pass. Otherwise the gadget will label the article 'not ready.'

:::::Congratulations @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] on becoming a new reviewer! I also think new reviewers might benefit from [[Wikinews:Gadgets and Tools/easyPeerReview|documentation on how to use the easyPeerReview]] gadget (this is the gadget that shows the &quot;Review&quot; option in the top-right tools menu and opens the review template with dropdown options).

::Hey - I saw your post elsewhere where once again you expressed your frustration at what is going on in this site. I'm sorry if my attempts to get _some_ change going in time to make a difference bothered you, and definitely not happy that no change happened and that people obfuscated the issue on the talk page to the point where nothing was clear. That all speaks to the problems here. There is so much disrespect floating around on this site currently, I do tend to think that there isn't much to be done as it is right now. I fully understand your frustration, and seeing it was part of what motivated me to seek change. This site was in a state of emergency and no one acted to fix it. Anyway maybe I'll bump into you on en.wikipedia proper, I'm sure if you want to you'll find something to contribute; or if not there, who knows where else?

:::Thanks for the message. Your efforts did not bother me at all. It wasn't like this when I first joined. Some of my articles would go stale waiting for review, but it was rare. My previous 8-9 articles over the last few months, and not a single one got reviewed. It is what it is. Yeah, you'll probably see me over at the current events articles on ENWP in the future. At least there you can work at your own pace. Why feel pressure to write fresh content if it can't get reviewed on time anyway? [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 16:30, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
::::Exactly - and the fact that no one was doing the reviews certainly puts out the message - whether true or not - that the reviewers care less about this project than the ones submitting the articles. This is made worse by the fact that there may be more reviewers than article contributors at this point. Regardless, we really needed a short term solution here, and no one was interested (actually, some WERE interested, but it got obfuscated away. Some people even claimed you supported the status quo!) So it goes! At least personally I met a few nice wiki folks I would not have found otherwise. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 16:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::It could be argued that I was more in a position to make an impact here since I was nade reviwer, but truthfully I just dont really know what I'm doing.

:::::: With EzPR 2025, we can do partial reviews. So you could start a review and when you get to a point where you want help, you can save the partial review and tag another reviewer for a hand (I'd be happy to help). 
:::::: Also, if the review process is daunting enough to keep you from doing the review, I think it would help everyone if you could articulate what is holding you back. It could be that the same thing is impacting other reviewers and it should therefore be changed.

:::::::: It should show up in the Tools menu, the same place EzPR shows up (for me, they are stacked on top of each other in the right-hand sidebar). If you view an article [[Raccoon found passed out in liquor store after drunken rampage|marked for review]], you should see &quot;Review (EPRv2)&quot; in your Tools. That's it.
:::::::: If you'd like to start with the [[Raccoon found passed out in liquor store after drunken rampage|Racoon story]], I'll step away from it.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

* Follow these instructions [[Wikinews:Easy_Peer_Review_(2025_version)#Getting_Started|get started]] says &quot;''To use it, go to any article that you want to review (make sure it has the {{tl|review}} template). You will find a &quot;Review (EPRv2)&quot; option in your &quot;Actions&quot; menu (in the Vector 2022 skin) or the &quot;More&quot; menu (in the Vector 2010 skin). After clicking this option, a form will appear at the top of the article.''&quot;. are you seeing this button?
Thanks [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 15:48, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

:no, I am not seeing either of these buttons on articles submitted for review. Im only seeing an option to prevreview. I use the 2010 skin. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 16:03, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] you still around? [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|talk]]) 22:01, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

:Hi. Good to see ya. My heart is not in current events at the moment. I plan to resume involvement here when I am convinced I can make more meaningful contributions. It doesn't look like there has been much activity here. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 22:32, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] I agree with you that activity has been a bit hit and miss. Could you please let me know what is the criteria for this? What would convince you that the activity level is adequate? Knowing this could help to reach and maintain activity sooner. 😊 Thank you. Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:43, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year. I overestimated what I was able to accomplish as a reviewer, I just don't have the time or focus right now and I'd review articles if I wasn't so concerned about publicly making a mistake. But I think Wikinews needs to be publishing at least one article per day to remain a viable destination for readers and to encourage more participation. I would have done way more these past four months if I didn't have so much crap going on in my personal life related to living situations, employment, transportation and mental health.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
: And to be clear, this isn't meant to be a criticism, but hopefully helpful 'on-boarding.'[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 17:53, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

I would lile to request a major rewrite:

:I have no idea honestly. Sometimes when I publish an article, there's a button asking me I want to post it to the front page, sometimes there isn't.

:: You can still use Lead Manager independently of EZPR 2025. If, for some reason you aren't prompted to update the leads after a successful review or you leave the page without clicking the button, you can still do so by going to [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]]. It will allow you to update the leads individually, serially, or in a custom fashion. 
:: By default, LM pulls in the last five articles into the &quot;title&quot; drop-down field. If you just click in the title field, you will be presented with a clickable list of the last five published articles. You can simply select the target article, &quot;fetch automatically&quot; the first two sentences, tweak the imported text and image if you'd like, then &quot;Start update&quot; will make the changes.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

Hi, Lofi Gurl! I appreciate your edits and your review, but I think that changing the title made it too vague, and the previous title was more specific.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice.

You've been a pretty solid contributor and I hope that you don't let the negativity and hypocrisy surrounding this site get to you too much. At least, I've noted how you've been trying to move things more than many others here. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 02:14, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's fine. Don't worry. I kind of knew this project was a dead end job and wasn't really worth the effort I was putting in trying to save it. I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well. When one door closes, another one opens. I try to remember [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Lofi_Gurl#En.wn this conversation] when I feel shitty regarding my contributions to this project.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]].

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

My previous 8-9 articles over the last few months, and not a single one got reviewed. It is what it is. Yeah, you'll probably see me over at the current events articles on ENWP in the future. At least there you can work at your own pace. Why feel pressure to write fresh content if it can't get reviewed on time anyway?

::::Exactly - and the fact that no one was doing the reviews certainly puts out the message - whether true or not - that the reviewers care less about this project than the ones submitting the articles. This is made worse by the fact that there may be more reviewers than article contributors at this point. Regardless, we really needed a short term solution here, and no one was interested (actually, some WERE interested, but it got obfuscated away. Some people even claimed you supported the status quo!) So it goes! At least personally I met a few nice wiki folks I would not have found otherwise. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 16:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::It could be argued that I was more in a position to make an impact here since I was nade reviwer, but truthfully I just dont really know what I'm doing. I definitely didnt support the status quo, I just was not interested in loosening the site's guidelines.

:::::: With EzPR 2025, we can do partial reviews. So you could start a review and when you get to a point where you want help, you can save the partial review and tag another reviewer for a hand (I'd be happy to help). 
:::::: Also, if the review process is daunting enough to keep you from doing the review, I think it would help everyone if you could articulate what is holding you back. It could be that the same thing is impacting other reviewers and it should therefore be changed.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

If you still need more assistance, I can share some screenshots with you via email showing how to use the form. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

Hi all...

I would lile to request a major rewrite:

1) LA Times is paywalled. Please replace, and ensure new content is fully verifiable; then re-submit for review.

Please let me know if this is in error, or any questions or request assistance.

Thanks!

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

::Thank you for letting me know.

I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

----

Hi Lofi Gurl, there are not many reviewers available, and I think the current queue may take a couple days to be processed. (I am mostly outdoors and away on weekend.) My apologies, and thank you for reading and writing entertaining and specific stories. :-) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]]. Reviewers can and often do correct style issues before publishing but they are not required to. It takes more of a reviewers time to correct for style along with everything else they must check before publishing. See [[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]] to understand all the work that goes into reviewing an article. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

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

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::It adds a star icon. Clicking it prompts for the news URL, and then a few seconds alter it adds the filled source template at cursor position.
::::Note that date may be missing. Authors usually are missing. Publisher name isn't always correct (needs to be such that you can wikilink to wikipedia). So you need to check what it generated. But at least it gets title and date right 90% of the time for me and it makes writing easier.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! That sounds like a good offer. Definitely curious to see what I can bring as a reviewer. I have no expirience blocking users or deleting pages. Give me a few days to sleep on it. Thanks! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 15:02, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]] 

Thanks for considering. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:49, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

Hey there, I finally got around to starting a help page for EasyPeerReview at [[Help:EasyPeerReview]]. Verify you have access to EzPR (you see the Review link in Actions when viewing an article marked with {{tl|Review}}) and have a look at the help page. Let me know if the page is actually helpful. 

Let me know if you want to jump into a review together or if you have any questions about the process, where to find things, etc.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:42, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

If you still need more assistance, I can share some screenshots with you via email showing how to use the form. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.
:Overall, this looks great, I appreciate the report!!! [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:37, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest. Thanks for the message. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 19:40, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you for letting me know. I actually went to great lengths to balance the article, get perspectives from all sides, sources from all sides, strongly ground the article in the sources, provide perspectives from all sides, and stay neutral and stick to the facts.

I appreciate most of your edits, but in [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002549&amp;oldid=5002548 this edit] you removed the global scientific consensus regarding homosexuality saying that it is &quot;emotional language&quot;, but it is scientific language that all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations use to describe homosexuality, especially against false claims such those made in the pamphlet. I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

Hi, Lofi Gurl! I appreciate your edits and your review, but I think that changing the title made it too vague, and the previous title was more specific. You said that [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_makes_crimes_against_humanity_convictions_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002876&amp;oldid=5002875 &quot;Don wanted this title changed I think&quot;], but I actually couldn't find a comment from Don saying that he wanted the title changed.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice. That pretty much sums it up, let me know if you have any further questions. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 18:47, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lofi Gurl :-)

Could you please [[WN:Attribution|attribute]] the &quot;''Political unrest and nationwide protests were expected in response to the axing of the impeachment.''&quot; sentence? Who said this? This would help the sentence to not read as a speculation made on behalf of ''Wikinews''.

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Works in 'Source editing' mode if it is the same toolbar as Visual Editor.
::::It adds a star icon. Clicking it prompts for the news URL, and then a few seconds alter it adds the filled source template at cursor position.
::::Note that date may be missing. Authors usually are missing. Publisher name isn't always correct (needs to be such that you can wikilink to wikipedia). So you need to check what it generated. But at least it gets title and date right 90% of the time for me and it makes writing easier.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile. Thanks [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:07, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi - I'm new here, trying to help out (recruited from elsewiki). I see you've been contributing here a while - is it possible you are ready to become a reviewer? Would that interest you? I'm still learning what's going on here. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 21:26, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

::Reviewer permission granted. Congratulations, Lofi Gurl! Just reviewing one story a week would be more than sufficient, I think doing more than that is a risk of burnout. Up to you. :) Let me know if any questions. Thanks, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:40, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

:::: Congratulations! I'll help out however I can. My availability will be short and sporadic likely for the next week. But the goal is not to just hand you the reviewer role and let you learn it on your own (that happened to me). 
:::: First step is ensuring you now see the &quot;Review&quot; action in the top-right of your browser when you view articles in the review queue. Once you click on &quot;Review&quot; for an article, you should now see an interface that allows you to select options via drop-down menus for the five areas we review. All of those drop-downs must be &quot;pass&quot; for the article to pass. Otherwise the gadget will label the article 'not ready.'

:::::Congratulations @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] on becoming a new reviewer! I also think new reviewers might benefit from [[Wikinews:Gadgets and Tools/easyPeerReview|documentation on how to use the easyPeerReview]] gadget (this is the gadget that shows the &quot;Review&quot; option in the top-right tools menu and opens the review template with dropdown options). If any reviewer is interested, perhaps a short guide for the gadget would be helpful. Although, I am not sure if there's already any documentation available for the easyPeerReview gadget.

::Hey - I saw your post elsewhere where once again you expressed your frustration at what is going on in this site. I'm sorry if my attempts to get _some_ change going in time to make a difference bothered you, and definitely not happy that no change happened and that people obfuscated the issue on the talk page to the point where nothing was clear. That all speaks to the problems here. There is so much disrespect floating around on this site currently, I do tend to think that there isn't much to be done as it is right now. I fully understand your frustration, and seeing it was part of what motivated me to seek change. This site was in a state of emergency and no one acted to fix it. Anyway maybe I'll bump into you on en.wikipedia proper, I'm sure if you want to you'll find something to contribute; or if not there, who knows where else?

:::Thanks for the message. Your efforts did not bother me at all. It wasn't like this when I first joined. Some of my articles would go stale waiting for review, but it was rare. My previous 8-9 articles over the last few months, and not a single one got reviewed. It is what it is. Yeah, you'll probably see me over at the current events articles on ENWP in the future. At least there you can work at your own pace. Why feel pressure to write fresh content if it can't get reviewed on time anyway? [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 16:30, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
::::Exactly - and the fact that no one was doing the reviews certainly puts out the message - whether true or not - that the reviewers care less about this project than the ones submitting the articles. This is made worse by the fact that there may be more reviewers than article contributors at this point. Regardless, we really needed a short term solution here, and no one was interested (actually, some WERE interested, but it got obfuscated away. Some people even claimed you supported the status quo!) So it goes! At least personally I met a few nice wiki folks I would not have found otherwise. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 16:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::It could be argued that I was more in a position to make an impact here since I was nade reviwer, but truthfully I just dont really know what I'm doing.

:::::: With EzPR 2025, we can do partial reviews. So you could start a review and when you get to a point where you want help, you can save the partial review and tag another reviewer for a hand (I'd be happy to help). 
:::::: Also, if the review process is daunting enough to keep you from doing the review, I think it would help everyone if you could articulate what is holding you back. It could be that the same thing is impacting other reviewers and it should therefore be changed.

:::::::: It should show up in the Tools menu, the same place EzPR shows up (for me, they are stacked on top of each other in the right-hand sidebar). If you view an article [[Raccoon found passed out in liquor store after drunken rampage|marked for review]], you should see &quot;Review (EPRv2)&quot; in your Tools. That's it.
:::::::: If you'd like to start with the [[Raccoon found passed out in liquor store after drunken rampage|Racoon story]], I'll step away from it.

Saw your story about Sam Rivers. Unfortunately I am away and cannot review until around mid November.

Please check [[Newsroom]] and [[WN:IRC|live chat]] to help with editing other reports as this may help publish yours sooner.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:A detailed documentation on how to use the peer-review form is [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)|available here]]. If you still need more assistance, I can share some screenshots with you via email showing how to use the form. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

1) Please add a note about whether the victim died. This is essential to clarify this, even if the article mentions &quot;murder&quot;; specify whether the victim died on the scene or in an ambulance or in a hospital.

Event over 7 days old. 

Passing as exception in context of following factors
* nobody was around on holidays anyway (I am being lenient) 
* the article is well written 
* it is obituary about a person's whole life so it is still slightly newsy for a while

Please do not consider this as precedent for future articles.

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year. I overestimated what I was able to accomplish as a reviewer, I just don't have the time or focus right now and I'd review articles if I wasn't so concerned about publicly making a mistake. But I think Wikinews needs to be publishing at least one article per day to remain a viable destination for readers and to encourage more participation.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian.

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice. That pretty much sums it up, let me know if you have any further questions. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 18:47, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication.

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending.

== 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.

:I like alot of these! 
:#7. I've been meaning to start using IRC for a while. Maybe today's the day.
:#8. Not sure what I can do to help with software development but I have a bunch of friends who know code.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.  [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 17:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:Yes I was actually going to ask if we could program something like that, because en.wp has it. Thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 17:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! Let me know what you think of my revision. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 23:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback.

::Reviewer permission granted. Congratulations, Lofi Gurl! Just reviewing one story a week would be more than sufficient, I think doing more than that is a risk of burnout. Up to you. :) Let me know if any questions. Thanks, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 02:40, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

:::: Congratulations! I'll help out however I can. My availability will be short and sporadic likely for the next week. But the goal is not to just hand you the reviewer role and let you learn it on your own (that happened to me). 
:::: First step is ensuring you now see the &quot;Review&quot; action in the top-right of your browser when you view articles in the review queue. Once you click on &quot;Review&quot; for an article, you should now see an interface that allows you to select options via drop-down menus for the five areas we review. All of those drop-downs must be &quot;pass&quot; for the article to pass. Otherwise the gadget will label the article 'not ready.'

::Hey - I saw your post elsewhere where once again you expressed your frustration at what is going on in this site. I'm sorry if my attempts to get _some_ change going in time to make a difference bothered you, and definitely not happy that no change happened and that people obfuscated the issue on the talk page to the point where nothing was clear. That all speaks to the problems here. There is so much disrespect floating around on this site currently, I do tend to think that there isn't much to be done as it is right now. I fully understand your frustration, and seeing it was part of what motivated me to seek change. This site was in a state of emergency and no one acted to fix it.

:::Thanks for the message. Your efforts did not bother me at all. It wasn't like this when I first joined. Some of my articles would go stale waiting for review, but it was rare.

::::Exactly - and the fact that no one was doing the reviews certainly puts out the message - whether true or not - that the reviewers care less about this project than the ones submitting the articles. This is made worse by the fact that there may be more reviewers than article contributors at this point.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:thank you! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

::Heard, thanks a bunch [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 20:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

Hi, do you know why [[Australian Minister for Energy lowers fuel standards for 60 days amid rising oil prices, panic buying]] did not show up as one of the front page lead articles after it was published?

:: You can still use Lead Manager independently of EZPR 2025. If, for some reason you aren't prompted to update the leads after a successful review or you leave the page without clicking the button, you can still do so by going to [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]]. It will allow you to update the leads individually, serially, or in a custom fashion. 
:: By default, LM pulls in the last five articles into the &quot;title&quot; drop-down field. If you just click in the title field, you will be presented with a clickable list of the last five published articles. You can simply select the target article, &quot;fetch automatically&quot; the first two sentences, tweak the imported text and image if you'd like, then &quot;Start update&quot; will make the changes.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.
:Overall, this looks great, I appreciate the report!!! [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:37, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest.

I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations.

Hi, Lofi Gurl! I appreciate your edits and your review, but I think that changing the title made it too vague, and the previous title was more specific.

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

== Re: cathedral re-opening ==

Hello,

Published. :-) Please check notes on the article talk page. A copy is included below for your reference:

----

There are important, but not critically essential details missing, for example:

* time of day in local time and UTC
* that they planned to do speech outdoors but did it indoors because of a storm
* (is it needed to write '2024' in first paragraph as we already have publish date further up the page)

I could not verify one part:

* Sunday 'morning' mass (source 1 says Sunday, source 2 does not say, or something) -- replaced 'Sunday morning' with 'Sunday'

The above items can be addressed within 24 hours after publication.

The image credit was missing and I added it as a minor edit as a part of the review process. It is required due to the licence requirements.

I recommend the author to also become involved in editing others' submissions -- those of them that are newsworthy, at least -- in the [[Newsroom]], if desired. This may help improve their quality and their chances of publication, and provide experience with proofreading and fact checking in addition to writing and authoring efforts.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

== Pace ==

Hi Lofi Gurl, there are not many reviewers available, and I think the current queue may take a couple days to be processed. (I am mostly outdoors and away on weekend.) My apologies, and thank you for reading and writing entertaining and specific stories. :-) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Revisit articles in review queue ==

While waiting for articles I've authored to be reviewed, I often revisit them as long as they aren't under review and 'tighten' them up by making sure they conform to the style guide, that facts are correct, I've chosen good images with useful descriptions (and attributed every image), etc. 

I see that there are style issues in some of your articles currently awaiting review. Please see what you can do to help make the review of these articles easier/quicker.

Consider using {{tl|verify}} to point to exactly what source is used for all information so reviewers who verify information can find it easier. This helps tremendously.  

Thanks. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the [[WN:Style|style guide]]. Reviewers can and often do correct style issues before publishing but they are not required to. It takes more of a reviewers time to correct for style along with everything else they must check before publishing.

== Edits after publication  ==

Please note that our [[WN:Archive]] conventions generally prevent edits to articles 24 hours after publication. Articles are meant to be a snapshot in time. 

Edits within the 24 hours after publication should be limited to only correcting any errors not caught in the review process. 

It is better to have an article fully button-down and ready for publication before requesting review. 

You are more than welcome, even encouraged to help improve other articles. But please focus that energy on articles in the developing queue and review queue unless the article is actively ''under'' review. That way we catch more errors before review and definitely before publication. 

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[:Category:Michael.C.Wright_(Wikinewsie)|Published]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== En.wn ==
Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say &quot;don't get married to your article&quot;, so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project.

== 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.

== Interest in notifications for new drafts ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I'd like to invite you to edit drafts created by other contributors to improve their quality and reduce reviewer load on them, so that more reviewers can review articles written by you. Would you be interested in notifications of the current drafts in the Newsroom, compiled with a note of what the event date and link to article? 

I can make something like [[User:Gryllida/Newsroom]]. If you're interested, would you like to get notified when article '''is created as a new draft''' ([[:Category:Developing]]) or when it is '''submitted for review''' ([[:Category:Review]])?

== Sources fill ✍️ ==

Hi, at my personal talk page at Wikipedia there is a user script, which may be copy pasted to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]], that adds a new button in the editor: it prompts for an URL, generates a filled source template for it, and copies it to clipboard. It reliably inserts the source title at least 🤣 In many, but not all, cases it also gets the publisher and date -- though not always in the right &quot;April 22, 2025&quot; format -- properly, too. Then, if in the visual editing mode, I double click the pasted source to fix if needed. Perhaps this could help you save time.

== Minor edit urgent please? ==

Hi Lofi Gurl

I think it is best of someone adds a source and attribution about the '51' number of injuries.

The article was already published, so this needs to be done immediately, so that the approval of the edit can be done within less than 24 hours.

Please see [[Talk:Kamikaze_drone_attacks_bus_near_Dnipropetrovsk,_Ukraine,_allegedly_war_crime|this page]] for more details.

BigKrow refused to do it, now I have the request for your help as my last hope.

Looks like nobody else currently active at the wiki this weekend.

Thanks heaps, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 22:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the edit. 
::If you click the image of the bus, in description, it links to a few sources. One of them is a telegram post by someone, possibly military official from Ukraine. I think it could be added as source and in article text the '51' figure could be attributed to that source specifying their name and whatever role is associated with their nick in telegram. If you can do this soon, I can approve it. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== Hello from Gryllida ==

Hi @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]]

Would you be interested in joining as a reviewer? If you were, I or another reviewer of your interest would be doing it together with you for the first several months to assist.

Similarly, would you be interested in helping with page deletions and blocking users, and removing vandalism. Is this something you have done before and do you have an interest?

Are there any changes to the workflow that you would consider helpful?

Are you on any IM platform such as Discord, Linphone (SIP), Matrix, where we could exchange messages, screenshots, and sometimes audio calls?

Regards, - [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:Hey! That sounds like a good offer. Definitely curious to see what I can bring as a reviewer. I have no expirience blocking users or deleting pages. Give me a few days to sleep on it. Thanks! [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 15:02, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

== Community response to SPTF's recommendation to close ''Wikinews'' ==

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) has issued a [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|recommendation to close Wikinews]]. A community response to the Task Force is underway and I believe it's critical that we show clear support from contributors, reviewers, and administrators if we want Wikinews to remain open.

If you believe Wikinews still has potential for revitalization and should remain active, I ask that you:

* Review and help improve the draft community response, and/or
* Add your endorsement once you're comfortable with the language

The goal is to finalize the draft before the [[m:Event:Community_consultation_on_Wikispore/Wikinews,_call_1|July 16 Task Force call]], so our response is ready for consideration.

You can find the draft here:
👉 [[Wikinews:Response to Proposal for Closing Wikinews]]

== Live chat software trial ==

Live chat software trial (August-September 2025)

Hi, i am running a software to make live chat easier to use. It requires installation of QuasselDroid on Android, Quassel Client on Windows or Mac or Linux, and I don't know what on iOS (let me know if this is your main platform). The software would connect you to the official IRC channel for Wikinews and stay connected including all chat history, including when you closed the app. I am achieving this by hosting it on my Quassel Core on my server. If you are interested in trying this option, please install the Quassel Client software, and after this is done (not before), ensure you have a working email in your [[Special:Preferences]] so i can email you login credentials, and specify your desired IRC nickname. Please note this is open source software with low bandwidth usage and the communication is only via text, so it is not privacy invasive. This platform is older than the web, irc existed since 1980s. Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, please install the Quassel Client, it is free/open source, low bandwidth, low RAM and CPU usage
:and tell me your desired nickname
:I would greatly appreciated if you could use it for a few weeks and then leave me some feedback. This chat platform has 3 reviewers on it, and yourself being sitting in chat all 24/7 via this software could make collaboration much easier as then others could send messages to the group while your device is offline, and you could get notifications on mobile.

== Scoop access ==

As a reviewer, you should have access to Scoop so that you can receive OR material. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] manages the email server and should be able to set up an account for you. If you haven't done so already, you should reach out and request an account. It might be a while before you're comfortable reviewing OR, and that's okay. It is a bit of a different beast. But you should have access to Scoop now so you can see the material and otherwise use it to assist with developing OR and getting it closer to a publishable state.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

:For scoop account username: it is not the same as your wiki login; unfortunately the email server was not setup for OAuth login. Usually, but not always, it's the legal first name and last name, to make the request more professional in the case you might need to contact one of the OR involved parties to confirm some information; one of the reviewers uses just their first name only for the username and one used their wiki nick. '''Please tell me what username for scoop email you would like.''' Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 18:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Starting a review ==

Hi, hope you Are doing well. From [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Removal/Lofi Gurl|your comment]], it appears you were struggling to start a review on an article as you mentioned you couldn't find any buttons. For your convenience, I've prepared a Review Launcher. 

Just [[Wikinews:Easy Peer Review (2025 version)#Review launcher widget|visit the page]], enter the article name you want to review, and click the &quot;Start Review&quot; button. That's it. After clicking Start Review, you will be redirected to the article page, wait for 1-2 seconds and the peer-review form should open for you. Use that form to submit your review result. I hope this isn't too complicated. If at any point you feel lost, just let me know. 

I understand that you may not be interested in reviewing at the moment, but if the reason is simply not knowing how to start the review, this approach might be helpful. -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 15:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

:::I just think at this point many editors are reluctant to write new articles due to lack of active reviewers, many articles went stale while waiting for review this year.

== streak proposal ==

Hi, I am proposing to setup [[:w:streak]] goals over a 12 week period: for example, 

* &quot;write one story each two weeks, and [[:wikt:babysit|babysit]] it until it is published&quot;

This could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a [[:wikt:day shift|day shift]] as you are expected to remain available '[[:wikt:on call|on call]]' to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with [[:wikt:outburst|outburst]]s of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce [[:wikt:burnout|burnout]]. Could you please check out at '''[[Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Streak_themed_competition_proposal|this section]]''' and let me know what you think?

== Reviewing and publishing ==

Thank you for stepping into the review queue. Reviewing can be thought of as a two-part process:

1. [[Wikinews:Review checklist|Review]]&lt;br&gt;
2. [[Wikinews:Publish checklist|Publish]]

The publishing process involves updating our Main page with the new article. The easiest way to do this is to use [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]], which you'll need to install using the instructions [[User:Asked42/LeadManager#Installation|provided on the tool's page]]. As long as all of the reviewers publish articles immediately after reviewing them, the 5 leads will stay up-to-date. 

Let me know if you need help with anything, or if any part of the checklists is unclear. Much of the review and publishing process becomes second nature to experienced reviewers, and it is easy to forget how overwhelming it can feel in the beginning.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

== The sources section can be the third rail for reviewers ==

Reviewers aren't supposed to add or remove sources as part of the review process. Any source listed is assumed to have been used to directly support statements of fact in the article (because that is what is required of authors). 

When reviewers come across paywalled sources in the sources list, they need to stop the review process and ask the contributors to remove it and any statements supported solely by it. This delays publishing, but helps to ensure accuracy, which is more important than rapid publishing.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 13:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:FWIW, while I agree that what described above is one option (and is better than removing the problematic source and leaving content unchanged), it is my position that, if a reviewer had time to remove ''both'' the problematic source and the information that came from it, while remaining confident that all remaining information is verifiable, then, that reviewer is allowed to complete the review and publish the page. I believe that the process I have described reduces delay waiting for author to revise, and does not compromise quality of the review process.

== Front page headlines ==

Hi, do you know why [[Australian Minister for Energy lowers fuel standards for 60 days amid rising oil prices, panic buying]] did not show up as one of the front page lead articles after it was published? This has been a recurring problem as discussed at [[Wikinews:Water cooler/technical#Improper 'circle']] and [[Wikinews:Water cooler/technical#The lead articles need to be changed]]. -- [[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 15:33, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:I have no idea honestly. Sometimes when I publish an article, there's a button asking me I want to post it to the front page, sometimes there isn't.

:: You can still use Lead Manager independently of EZPR 2025. If, for some reason you aren't prompted to update the leads after a successful review or you leave the page without clicking the button, you can still do so by going to [[User:Asked42/LeadManager]]. It will allow you to update the leads individually, serially, or in a custom fashion. 
:: By default, LM pulls in the last five articles into the &quot;title&quot; drop-down field. If you just click in the title field, you will be presented with a clickable list of the last five published articles.

:That was a weird bug: I specified an empty custom comment, as my clipboard was borked.
:Here is a copy...
:A few remarks:
:1. Having checked sources, I needed to make some changes, such as &quot;near the neck&quot; and not &quot;in the neck&quot;, and the bombing incident was last year (not two years ago). Please check the edit history carefully and let me know if any of my changes were incorrect.
:2. I am trying to push towards more exclusive content or more closer follow ups here. Could you please either think of the questions to ask the South Korean Army, or, write a follow up report when the investigations completed and drills resumed?
:3. Barely newsworthy as this is nearly 5 days old but I think this is fine to publish.
:4. For npov balance, recommend including responses from other sources, i.e., from someone who is not a part of the South Korean Army. This may be done up to 24 hours after the story is published.
:Overall, this looks great, I appreciate the report!!! [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:37, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

== Regarding your move of my article ==

Hello, Lofi Gurl! I think my article is best located at [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts Christians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]] rather than [[Supreme Court of Finland convicts politicians of crimes against the humanity of gays and lesbians in landmark ruling]], because, of the four defendants convicted in the case, only one is a politician. The other individual is a bishop. The other two defendants are institutions. The only thing that the four defendants, consisting of two individuals and two institutions, have in common is that they are all Christian. [[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 19:09, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

:okay, sorry for the overreaction. I despise religious fundamentalism and bigotry but I just wanted to make sure the title wasn't going after Christians as some sort of ethnic group or something. But then,  Christianity is a {{w|universal religion}}, so I'm not sure the same principles apply anyway. No idea why I'm saying this. I have {{w|religious trauma}} from my Protestant upbringing and I listen to Satanic {{w|death metal}} every day of my life, and idk I guess I just didn't want thst influence creeping into my writing and creating a potential conflict of interest. Thanks for the message. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 19:40, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you for letting me know. I actually went to great lengths to balance the article, get perspectives from all sides, sources from all sides, strongly ground the article in the sources, provide perspectives from all sides, and stay neutral and stick to the facts. This is my very first ever Wikinews article. Since you seem to care about both factuality and neutrality, would you mind reviewing the article? I think it is ready for publication. What do you think? --[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 20:27, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

::::Thank you for your review. I appreciate most of your edits, but in [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_convicts_Christians_of_crimes_against_the_humanity_of_gays_and_lesbians_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002549&amp;oldid=5002548 this edit] you removed the global scientific consensus regarding homosexuality saying that it is &quot;emotional language&quot;, but it is scientific language that all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations use to describe homosexuality, especially against false claims such those made in the pamphlet. I used the World Medical Association as a source, but there are thousands of more sources that use that language. The World Medical Association itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Attributing that scientific language to the World Medical Association alone would give readers the incorrect impression that only the World Medical Association holds that position, when in fact it is the common position of all scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the whole world. Obviously, it would be impractical to cite every single one of thousands of scientific, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and pediatric associations, institutions, and organisations in the world, which is I cited the World Medical Association, which itself is an international federation of over a hundred national medical associations. Is your review complete? Is the article ready for publication? This is my very first ever Wikinews article, so I'm not entirely familiar with process here. Thank you for your help.

:::::We can just say &quot;according to scientific consensus&quot; then. I mostly just thought the passage was really wordy with way too many adjectives. It's close to being ready for publication.

Hi, Lofi Gurl! I appreciate your edits and your review, but I think that changing the title made it too vague, and the previous title was more specific. You said that [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Finland_makes_crimes_against_humanity_convictions_in_landmark_ruling&amp;diff=5002876&amp;oldid=5002875 &quot;Don wanted this title changed I think&quot;], but I actually couldn't find a comment from Don saying that he wanted the title changed.

::Your edits seem to be only related to getting the article ready for publication, so that should not be a problem, right? Also, oh no! That's awful! Why are they closing Wikinews?

:::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The &quot;current events&quot; module on the front page of Wikipedia does a better job at reporting current events than Wikinews. It is much more timely on Wikipedia, and edits can be published faster because i'm pretty sure that project is not subject to the same libel regulations as this project, as wikipedia is not a news publication. By contrast,  Wikinews has a rigorous review process to ensure quality, which sounds good on paper, but ultimately fails when the existing reviewers are either unable or unwilling to perform a review in time to get it published. Most articles that did manage to get published on this site were usually posted 4-5 days after the fact, when the news cycle has effectively moved on. Ive had an extremely difficult time getting anyone to even look at anything I've written these last six months here on the project. This is an experience shared by [[User:Tduk]]. There were a few successful publications during that time. But lets be real. Wikinews is a failed experiment. The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't want to pay for the server costs to host this project. They want to focus on Wikipedia. I thought I could help get things moving in the right direction and help save the project from closure, but the truth is I simply overestimated this project abd overestimated what I was able to realistically do. Adderall is one hell of a drug. Anyway, for what its worth, I did deeply care about this project, I thought the concept was so cool, I guess some things just dont work in practice. That pretty much sums it up, let me know if you have any further questions. [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]] ([[User talk:Lofi Gurl|talk]]) 18:47, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's fine. Don't worry. I kind of knew this project was a dead end job and wasn't really worth the effort I was putting in trying to save it. I just kept getting sucked back in every time I tried to quit, so in a way I'm kind of glad the project is closing. It was probably going to devolve to a thing where I assumed most of the workload while the more experienced editors scaled back their involvement with the project, per tradition. Oh well.

== Published: [[Supreme Court of Finland makes crimes against humanity convictions in landmark ruling]] (April 6) ==
Hi, all, I am sending this message to all contributors to the article.

News is over a week old but I am publishing. The headline could be better but there is so much controversy about how to put it properly that I am content with the current revision.

Overall as a piece of feedback, it is necessary to be more factual and as much as possible insert facts rather than qualitative characterizations. I believe this has substantially improved in the last few days as the article has been revised. Thank you.

I have read the talk page and I believe the concerns there have been satisfactorily addressed in the recent edits and in the resulting current revision.

Copyright check passed flagging only the quote(s) included in the text.

'''I am recommending to add a sentence about expected consequence (fine, jail time) or if it is unknown then, when is this expected to be determined. If you could please make this change within 24 hours, then it could be sighted and be included in the report.'''

Thanks a lot.

Self nominating due to issues with BigKrow, Lofi Gurl impersonator accounts and related discussions at [[wN:AAA]]. I think previous checkuser is [[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]] who was away for a few weeks. This is a self nomination.

====Questions and comments====
I have the following questions:

# The documented process for requesting permissions was not followed fully for this request. Can you explain your understanding of the correct process, what went wrong in this case, and how you would ensure procedural accuracy when handling CheckUser actions?
# There have been past disputes regarding page protection during a discussion you were involved in[https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=User:Brian_McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4859721], as well as concerns about policy-compliance during reviewing activity. How do you reflect on those incidents now, and what steps would you take as a CheckUser to ensure strict adherence to CU policy and avoidance of conflicts of interest?
# In one case, you removed talk-page access from a blocked user during what others considered a constructive discussion.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Me_Da_Wikipedian#c-Gryllida-20240920000900-Me_Da_Wikipedian-20240919235400] How do you approach decisions about restricting TPA, and how would you balance preventing disruption with allowing space for block clarification or appeals in future cases, especially in light of [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:BigKrow/Archive_1#c-Gryllida-20250423005700-About_noise_from_other_users this advice] from you?
#CheckUser duties sometimes require timely response to sockpuppetry or abuse reports. Given past concerns about availability and responsiveness, what level of availability would you commit to if granted CU rights, and how do you believe the community should evaluate whether local CU coverage is even needed versus relying solely on global Stewards?
Thank you in advance for your answers. [[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:44, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]]
:1a. I am not aware of ''substantial'' procedure error about this request.
:1b. A CU action would arise from a request on-wiki. Policies for handling it are documented. Ideally a connection with an existing CU, including possibly that from another wiki, could help for questions if needed; as the CU here is away. As far as I know overuse of CU can result in serious issues and its use should be limited as much as possible, i.e. only when really required. In such a transparent wiki logs are available to see what action was done.
:2a. I have not had a conflict of interest issue here in the past that was handled incorrectly. 
:2b. Already discussed at my talk page. &lt;s&gt;TLDR; best to ask me about a specific published article before 24 hour window closed and I will be happy to work on a solution immediately and then on notes what was missed. Second best is to annoy me with this at time of archival. Both of those should happen at article talk page in the first instance, with added new section at my talk page to link me to a discussion. If this process is not documented then should be. &lt;/s&gt; Process to query my reviews is now documented at my user page. --21:00, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
:2b.i. This could be displayed at a published page just to post a new section at article talk as some news sites have a &quot;error found? Select it and Press alt+enter&quot; feature.
:3a. Unlike Wikipedia in Wikinews there is a lower tolerance to meta discussions. They take away valuable time for working on news. This has been the case for a while and is well documented.
:3b. I consider that TPA revocation acceptable as of my position today. The user was not being constructive and it was dragging other users into the discussion. I believe one item could be done better there, that is, a note pointing to a email to admins. This user could use that to query to get unblocked eithout entertaining whole wiki. Some wikis have a way to email to admins only via a mailing list. This function is probably either not setup here or is out of date, as I am not on it.
:3c. &quot;This advice from you&quot; link leads to a paragraph that is consistent with what I wrote above I believe.
:4. Recently I am available every day (though not every day active on wiki) and have a bunch of social media contacts on my user page which can be buzzed if a request is time sensitive. I will have breaks from time to time. They are posted on my user page and during these breaks I remain online, even if not fully replying until the break ends except for urgent issues, in these social media and email.

:: Thank you for your responses. I’ve numbered my comments to correspond with yours for clarity.
:: I have not yet reached a final view on this nomination. The following points are intended to assess readiness for the role and, separately, to consider whether there may be a broader structural issue for the project. Given our past disagreements, I have focused on policy and observable conduct rather than interpretation.
:: 1a. CheckUser is a sensitive role that requires close attention to procedure. Your self-nomination was created in April but was not properly transcluded for eight months; it was later added to the voting page by [[User:HKLionel|HKLionel]], and a SiteNotice update was requested only recently by [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]]. Under [[Wikinews:Never assume]], intent is not the issue. The fact remains that required procedural steps were not completed for an extended period. CU depends on precise and timely adherence to process.
:: 2a. [[Wikinews:Protection policy]] states, “Do not protect a page you are involved in a dispute over.” During our dispute regarding [[Wikinews:Plagiarism]], you moved the page to [[User:Brian McNeil/Wikinews:Plagiarism]] and applied full protection. Separately, you declined to follow [[WN:REV]] while proposing changes to it; the related RfC was initiated only after concerns were raised. REV is central to our identity as a journalism project. In both instances, established policy was not followed while you were directly involved in the matter. For a role entrusted with nonpublic data and advanced permissions, that is directly relevant.
:: 3b &amp; 3c. You have stated that users may ignore others who are “being a fool.” In the case of [[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]], talk page access was revoked immediately after they asked when they could again participate. Revoking TPA is a significant restriction, as it removes the user’s ability to seek clarification regarding their block. CU requires careful judgment and proportional use of authority.
:: 4. Wikinews is a volunteer project, and no one is obligated to contribute time. However, CU requires dependable responsiveness. Your recent administrative activity appears intermittent in areas such as [[WN:AAA]] and counter-vandalism. Of the twenty most recent admin action requests, you participated in one, and you did not engage in the discussion titled “Check User.” For this role, demonstrated responsiveness to requests is especially important.
:: More broadly, the [[Wikinews:CheckUser_policy#Appointing_local_CheckUsers|CU policy]] requires “at least 25 users’ approval,” and it is unclear whether we currently have 25 active, eligible voters. One existing CU is semi-retired, and the other has limited recent activity. If the threshold is not realistically attainable, that structural issue should be addressed independently of any nomination. In that context, the community may wish to consider whether relying on global CheckUsers is the more workable arrangement for now.
:: @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]] and @[[User:Cromium|Cromium]], with appreciation for your service, would you be open to discussing whether retaining local CU flags remains necessary while this broader question is evaluated?[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 02:22, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
:::1. I saw that and did not consider it urgent at that time. On the scale of eternity it takes to get 25 participants to comment in this section, a few weeks delay with transclusion does not cause major issue. I do believe however that requests for permission should be hanged into SiteNotice as a key item, when you have time. I did note your comment for my future reference.
:::2A.1. I considered that page was necessary to be kept for historical reasons. As you may know, Brian McNeil was project leader previously and then was deceased. I consider it harmless to keep a copy in their user space if desired. If you had issue with it, I can move it to my user space.
:::2A.2. I do not agree about 'declined to follow WN:REV while proposing changes to it'. I provided my argument previously that interpretation of WN:REV that I have got is consistent with past practices and context. I do believe that one has to rely on context and on existing practices as well as on the text of the policy. I do not consider the position 'RFC was created only after issues were raised' accurate in that case. I consider that RFC was opened because I wanted to get confirmation from other reviewers about their existing practices and thoughts about these given contexts. Unfortunately with reviewers being away this is hard to get that task done. I continue to have the position that practicing a policy does not merely rely on what is written but also on the context and the existing practices and comments from other users. 
:::2A.2.1. I do not believe that would be an issue with usage of CheckUser if I were approved here; as noted earlier, if in doubt I would be able to query whoever group EPIC referenced on-wiki recently who could do CU for here while CUs are missing - that group is active, experienced, and having access to such a group is something I do not have here as a reviewer as when everyone else is away I have to make my own judgment call.
:::2A.3. I think I did not wish to discuss the issue of compliance with WN:REV until and unless it applied to a specific ongoing article. I do not wish to comment on this any further until a question about a particular and current article was brought up. 
:::2A.4. Separately, I opened a request to comment on [[User:Gryllida/ATPG]] which is an article talk page guideline (maybe partly should be renamed to just talk page guideline not only article talk) where I proposed that (to put it strongly) meta discussions are a capital offence and work should be towards publishing a particular story report item.
:::3. Decision was made to revoke TPA of that user because it was dragging other users into that discussion. That is a 'meta' aspect that was making a net negative impact on news related work. I already stated that earlier.
:::4. Ok, I can work out how to increase my responsiveness on weekend. Currently it is close to nil.
:::Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 00:54, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
::::Just as a procedural note, stewards generally do not perform checks on wikis with local checkusers, except in emergencies or if local policies explicitly state so (though to my knowledge, only enwikibooks and enwikivoyage allow stewards to perform non-emergency checks). As for whether this wiki should have local CUs or not I'm not in a position to determine, but I do want to note that there have been multiple instances on this wiki where stewards have been hindered from &quot;doing their job&quot; and performing local checks since this wiki had checkusers, and that several requests have been forwarded to us throughout the years since local checkusers have not been active to process requests in a timely manner (which we've had to decline for the reasons mentioned above). That being said, should this wiki not regain local CUs the stewards will happily continue to process requests in our capacity. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 17:29, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::Well, apart from weekend, I am here 16 hours a day. About weekend, I have setup mobile phone notification. Notification says &quot;Wikinews page [name] has been changed by [nick]&quot; which should be sufficient, if it mentions AAA or CU page, something is on fire.

*'''Comment'''. The checkuser permissions of Acagastya and Cromium have now been removed. Since there must be at least two checkusers, this nomination cannot succeed without a second nomination, even if 25 supports is reached (or relaxed), unless one or other of the former checkusers returns.

* [[Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Bureaucrat/Ternera]] was recently closed with no consensus after less than three months and only three votes. This request has been open for nearly a year and has not reached the required 25 approvals. Should it now be closed as unsuccessful?
: At present, [[#c-EPIC-20260224172900-Gryllida-20260224005400|CheckUser support is provided by several stewards]], offering broader and likely faster coverage than two local CheckUsers would.
: Since 2017, only four requests have been made at [[Wikinews:Requests for CheckUser]], and one was later deemed unnecessary—after receiving timely and useful advice from a steward.
: Given the limited demand and existing steward support, would it be more productive for the community to focus on improving the rate of article development, publication, and archival?[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 23:21, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

In a different situation I could have waited a bit longer to get more input but given imminent closure of the project I was asked to go through open requests and close them. This request appears to have no consensus. I note that this is not a merely a reflection of the candidate skills but is also a result of the project status (it being inactive and communication about polciies being occasionally inconsistent across different reviewers or pages), which may have caused some of the issues discussed below.

* {{neutral}} ...just for the moment. I'd like to watch things a bit, but I am optimistic about this person becoming an accredited reporter here.--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 16:00, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
*:Thanks for chiming in; I'm actually less interested in the official accreditation than just having a central email address, which would make dealing with sources much more professional and centralized (and presumably with an audit trail that scoop can monitor). It's been somewhat awkward having to explain to people I am interviewed that they may be contacted out of nowhere via whatever email address they have publicly to confirm that I did in fact interview them. The process has in fact given me some hesitation on what I am able to cover reasonably. If there's a better way to go about this, I'd love to hear it. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 11:07, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
*::Hi, @[[User:Tduk|Tduk]], this may not be a complete picture, but, here are a few clarifications:
*::* No, reviewers cannot monitor your personal reporter account or sent messages, unless you CC scoop address from beginning, and interviewee uses &quot;reply all&quot;. I usually did not do that, and doing this does not require having accreditation.
*::* I think the reporter has to provide evidence like &quot;rob.foo@gmail.com actually belongs to my interviewee and not a random stranger&quot; as part of reporter's notes if needed.
*::* Whole point of having accreditation is trust that you are not falsifying the evidence that you are sending to scoop. Once there is accreditation, then, there is such trust, and a reviewer does not need (in my view) to ask interviewee to confirm that the content adequately represents their responses.
*::* IRL, in a newsroom, if a reporter said &quot;i asked Rob on phone and he said 'i like cats'&quot;, does the editor trust the reporter and believe that? Or does the editor go to all the sources of that reporter and ask them to confirm that the news piece is correct before approving it?
*::* The main point of having a wn-reporters address (to me) is that it looks more credible to the interviewees, and, as a result, they are more likely to respond to an interview request from it than to a request from a gmail.
*::Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:04, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
*:::Thanks. It still seems like it would smooth out a somewhat prohibitively awkward process to have that wn-reporters address. I have further questions about how to smooth this out; I have stopped doing interviews because I am not comfortable with asking the interviewee to subject themselves to what we ask of them. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 15:34, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
*::::If it helps: I've never contacted ANYONE to ask -- &quot;Hey, did this dude actually talk to you?&quot; And: in the past (and I hope we re-vitalize it real soon) -- we MUCH MORE SYSTEMATICALLY focused on developing people under the Contributor &gt; Accredited Reporter &gt; Reviewer pipeline. Many efforts have gone into streamlining/adjusting assorted tools in recent months (and many of those are good actions) -- we just constantly have to work to maintain journalistic integrity. I'm all for 'fluffery' when and where it belongs. Keep writing. Keep submitting. Accreditation (in the least) will get you the Accreditation bit for you User page, a cool email address and a couple of other minor bits.

*:::::You have certainly not done that when I submitted something that you reviewed. I had it happen to me twice - the first time, I wasn't even consulted, the person cold-contacted the interviewee using an e-mail address I didn't even have. This caused me to start warning anyone I'd interview in the future that this may happen. Is this not typical here? [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 03:37, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

:::::::: 1. You are accredited.&lt;br&gt;2. You have done it for other articles and you CC'ed Scoop. Subject was &quot;ACTION REQUIRED: Query for peer review at Wikinews&quot; sent November 22, 2025.

*:: &gt; ''I'm actually less interested in the official accreditation''
::: If accreditation is of limited interest, you may wish to reconsider this request, to avoid further unnecessary deliberation and debate.
::: &gt; ''It's been somewhat awkward having to explain to people … that they may be contacted out of nowhere''
::: “Out of nowhere” is not accurate.
::: In the [[Talk:Robert Dick and Mark Dresser re-unite at the Fridman Gallery#Email or in-person interview|first case]], you had not provided ''any proof'' the interview occurred, as required by [[WN:OR]]. You cited “privacy issues” when asked to provide verification, and later stated you would remove all email addresses if forwarding to scoop. The interviewee was then contacted via their publicly available email. I believe this was also your first submitted, named interview, so no prior track record existed.
::: In the second case, you were informed before a draft was created that the interview would need to be verified.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Michael.C.Wright/Archive_2#c-Michael.C.Wright-20260114182200-Tduk-20260114161000] You were informed again on the article talk page three days later. After three additional days without response, the interviewee was contacted via their publicly available email.
::: &gt; &quot;the person cold-contacted the interviewee using an e-mail address I didn't even have.&quot;
::: If the interviewee’s publicly available contact information was not identified, it raises questions about the extent of the background research conducted.
::: &gt; &quot;This caused me to start warning anyone I'd interview in the future that this may happen.&quot;
::: Informing interviewees that ''Wikinews'' may contact them to verify the interview is a reasonable, professional courtesy and likely appreciated by most interviewees when named in an article.
::: Bottom line: when a named interview is included and the reporter has not yet established trust at ''Wikinews'', rigorous verification is required prior to publication. This is a standard safeguard for the project, the reviewer, and the interviewee.
::: Accreditation assumes an understanding of these verification expectations; where that understanding is not yet established, it may be premature to grant it.
::: See also:

:* {{oppose|Not at this time}} Accreditation is intended to recognize contributors who have demonstrated readiness to act as trusted representatives of Wikinews when engaging with third parties, particularly in original reporting where strong verification and sourcing practices are essential.
: 
: 
:: Based on the current discussion and recent contributions, that standard is not yet consistently demonstrated. In original reporting, notes function as a source and are expected to be publicly available (with only sensitive, personal information withheld) so that both reviewers and readers can verify the reporting. In at least [[Talk:Musique Libre Femmes plays for Women's History Month at Tompkins Square Library in New York City#No notes provided|one recent case]], the materials provided did not allow independent verification of the published content.
: 
: 
:: Accreditation requires confidence that a contributor consistently meets Wikinews’ verification and documentation expectations. At this stage, that has not yet been demonstrated.
: 
: 
:: I would support this request after a clear track record of providing thorough, public, and reviewable notes that fully support original reporting.

{{date|March 6, 2026}}

On Wednesday, {{W|Randwick}} City Council, a municipality on the east coast of [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], opened a public consultation period focused on introducing parking fees at beaches within the Randwick area. The consultation, affecting up to thousands of beachgoers in peak hours on hot summer weekends, is set to close on April 15.

The council mailed the consultation paper version to all residents and added to Randwick's &quot;''Have Your Say''&quot; portal with an online form and a note that feedback may also be provided by phone and in person.

The Council noted the beaches received a lot of non-local traffic, allegedly reaching 84% at certain beaches, according to mobile phone data collected by Veitch Lister Consulting (VLC), a United Kingdom and Australian firm. The revenue from paid parking would help towards beaches cleaning, maintenance, and improving the quality of amenities, the Council wrote on the public consultation page. The Council estimated implementing the proposal would require {{w|Australian dollar|A$}}3.6 million expenditure and would generate yearly A$6 million revenue.

Randwick includes the Clovelly, Coogee, Maroubra, Malabar, Little Bay (Malabar Beach), La Perouse (Frenchmans Bay) and Yarra Bay areas. The proposal stated that new signage and parking meters would be installed in late 2026 and 2027 if the proposal was approved.

A ''Wikinews'' contributor visited the area, noting previously the parking was time-limited but predominantly free, with selected sections designated as paid parking. Parking at Arden St. was free, while parking at Coogee Oval or near Coogee Pavilion required a fee from 2003 to 2016. Meanwhile, parking near Manly and Bondi beaches outside the Randwick area required a fee in many spots and streets immediately adjacent to the beach as of 2026. Near Manly, a multi-level paid car park was available in a nearby shopping center.

[[File:Dmg20260324x 30.png|thumb|Kitamura interacting with the audience{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}}]]
On Tuesday, March 24, {{w|Downtown Music Gallery}} in [[New York City]] continued its ongoing weekly in-store concert series with a night featuring eight {{w|Experimental music|experimental}} {{w|Singing|vocalists}}. The venue was so highly attended that the entire store was full, and people were watching from outside the entrance to the store, which was an unusual occurence. ''Wikinews'' was present for the concert. Experimental vocalists are people who use their voice in music in non-traditional or experimental ways. The performance was scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. local time (2230 UTC) but started shortly after, and ended around 9 p.m. local time (0100 UTC, March 5), with people mingling afterwards and making purchases.

Before the performances, Bruce Gallanter, the owner of Downtown Music Gallery, started the event with a verbal history of vocalists:

{{WNIR|Bruce Gallanter}} 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. 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 of neanderthals 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 in what 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 of people speaking, and also 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 {{w|Dixieland}} and jazz. You also had kind of folk stuff going on. And as far as classical composers go, {{w|Igor Stravinsky}} and {{w|Béla Bartók}} and {{w|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 the 20s, this is what happened. {{w|Duke Ellington}}'s band moved from DC to New York. {{w|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 {{w|Bing Crosby}}, {{w|Frank Sinatra}}, {{w|Ella Fitzgerald}}, {{w|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 {{w|Billy Eckstine}}'s big band, {{w|Charlie Parker}}, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}}, {{w|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 our buddy Lorin (Benedict) 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 Birth of Cool. That's {{w|Miles Davis}}, {{w|Gerry Mulligan}}, {{w|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, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}} put together a big band ({{w|The Modern Jazz Sextet}}). And in his big band, four members of his big band were {{w|John Lewis (pianist)|John Lewis}}, {{w|Milt Jackson}}, {{w|Connie Kay}}}, and {{w|Percy Heath}}. They started a quartet called the {{w|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 &quot;A Bird in Igor's Yard&quot;. That was written by {{w|George Russell (composer)|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 {{w|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 {{w|Art Blakey}} and {{w|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&amp;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 ''{{w|Kind of Blue}}'' by {{w|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 {{w|Dave Brubeck}} Quartet called ''{{w|Time Out (album)|Time Out}}''. And that record included songs in weird time signatures. You had &quot;Blue Rondo à la Turk&quot; and &quot;Take Five&quot;. 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 {{w|Sun Ra}}'s record ''{{w|Jazz in Silhouette}}'', which is a big band record, but it's very progressive.

:And then in California, you had {{w|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, {{w|John Coltrane}} was playing in Miles Davis' sextet, and his solos were getting longer and longer. And he met up with {{w|John Gilmore (musician)|John Gilmore}}, who was the sax player in Sun Ra's band, who was playing with {{w|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, &quot;I don't want to tour. I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing.&quot; 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 {{w|Elvin Jones}}, {{w|Jimmy Garrison}}, and {{w|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 {{w|Woody Guthrie}} and then {{w|Pete Seeger}} and then you had {{w|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 &quot;{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}&quot; by {{w|Bob Dylan}}, which is made popular by {{w|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 {{w|The Mothers of Invention}} when I was 13. That's {{w|Frank Zappa}}'s band, and Frank Zappa had this view about the unfairness of society. He wrote a song called &quot;{{w|Trouble Every Day (song)|Trouble Every Day}}&quot;. It's a long protest song. I have it 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 their own and then in the sixties people start experimenting with their voices uh... so you have people like Jeanne Lee uh... who else? (audience: Harry Woodward) {{w|Jay Clayton (musician)|Jay Clayton}}, yes, I mean, a lot of these people I got to know in the 70s. I remember seeing, late 70s, {{w|Ellen Christi}}. 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 {{w|Lisa Sokolov}}, I remember seeing. I saw Jeanne Lee play a bunch of times, because I was friendly with her, and {{w|Gunther Hampel}}. 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 this guy, Lorin, 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.

Gallanter continued, introducing Charmaine Lee who was performing with Benedict, explaining how they are good friends and she helped both him personally and the store a great deal during the {{w
|Covid pandemic}}.

First to perform was Lorin Benedict and Charmaine Lee, who performed in an almost entirely dark room, lit only by red light. Benedict performed vocals with a microphone only, while Lee performed using a electronic set-up on the table in front of her. 

Second was {{w|Kyoko Kitamura}}, who instead of performing in the back of the venue like most performers, performed in the middle, surrounded by people, using her voice and a few hand-held objects. She started off explaining, &quot;As musicians, we're constantly working with layers of listening, and as we bring awareness, it's almost like we're amplifying it, and I'm gonna be adding this very subtle layer on top of everything that's going on.&quot; She ended the performance by having the audience join her in making progressively louder exhaling shouts.

Third was Amy Sheffer and Rosi Hertlein, who performed several pieces, with Hertlein also playing violin. For the last piece, they brought out props, which Hertlein juggled in front of the nearby audience, who sometimes assisted. 

Last was Noa Fort, Yoon Sun Choi, and Elena Camerin, who all performed using microphones connected to the PA. All three performers used some degree of sound effects alternating with verbiage.

After each performance, there was considerable applause.

On Tuesday, March 24, {{w|Downtown Music Gallery}} in [[New York City]] continued its ongoing weekly in-store concert series with a night featuring eight {{w|Experimental music|experimental}} {{w|Singing|vocalists}}. The venue was so highly attended that the entire store was full, and people were watching from outside the entrance to the store, which was an unusual occurence. ''Wikinews'' was present for the concert. The performance was scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. local time (2230 UTC) but started shortly after, and ended around 9 p.m. local time (0100 UTC, March 5), with people mingling afterwards and making purchases.

Before the performances, Bruce Gallanter, the owner of Downtown Music Gallery, started the event with a verbal history of vocalists:

{{WNIR|Bruce Gallanter}} 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. 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 of neanderthals 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 in what 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 of people speaking, and also 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 {{w|Dixieland}} and jazz. You also had kind of folk stuff going on. And as far as classical composers go, {{w|Igor Stravinsky}} and {{w|Béla Bartók}} and {{w|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 the 20s, this is what happened. {{w|Duke Ellington}}'s band moved from DC to New York. {{w|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 {{w|Bing Crosby}}, {{w|Frank Sinatra}}, {{w|Ella Fitzgerald}}, {{w|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 {{w|Billy Eckstine}}'s big band, {{w|Charlie Parker}}, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}}, {{w|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 our buddy Lorin (Benedict) 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 Birth of Cool. That's {{w|Miles Davis}}, {{w|Gerry Mulligan}}, {{w|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, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}} put together a big band ({{w|The Modern Jazz Sextet}}). And in his big band, four members of his big band were {{w|John Lewis (pianist)|John Lewis}}, {{w|Milt Jackson}}, {{w|Connie Kay}}}, and {{w|Percy Heath}}. They started a quartet called the {{w|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 &quot;A Bird in Igor's Yard&quot;. That was written by {{w|George Russell (composer)|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 {{w|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 {{w|Art Blakey}} and {{w|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&amp;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 ''{{w|Kind of Blue}}'' by {{w|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 {{w|Dave Brubeck}} Quartet called ''{{w|Time Out (album)|Time Out}}''. And that record included songs in weird time signatures. You had &quot;Blue Rondo à la Turk&quot; and &quot;Take Five&quot;. 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 {{w|Sun Ra}}'s record ''{{w|Jazz in Silhouette}}'', which is a big band record, but it's very progressive.

:And then in California, you had {{w|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, {{w|John Coltrane}} was playing in Miles Davis' sextet, and his solos were getting longer and longer. And he met up with {{w|John Gilmore (musician)|John Gilmore}}, who was the sax player in Sun Ra's band, who was playing with {{w|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, &quot;I don't want to tour. I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing.&quot; 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 {{w|Elvin Jones}}, {{w|Jimmy Garrison}}, and {{w|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 {{w|Woody Guthrie}} and then {{w|Pete Seeger}} and then you had {{w|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 &quot;{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}&quot; by {{w|Bob Dylan}}, which is made popular by {{w|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 {{w|The Mothers of Invention}} when I was 13. That's {{w|Frank Zappa}}'s band, and Frank Zappa had this view about the unfairness of society. He wrote a song called &quot;{{w|Trouble Every Day (song)|Trouble Every Day}}&quot;. It's a long protest song. I have it 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 their own and then in the sixties people start experimenting with their voices uh... so you have people like Jeanne Lee uh... who else? (audience: Harry Woodward) {{w|Jay Clayton (musician)|Jay Clayton}}, yes, I mean, a lot of these people I got to know in the 70s. I remember seeing, late 70s, {{w|Ellen Christi}}. 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 {{w|Lisa Sokolov}}, I remember seeing. I saw Jeanne Lee play a bunch of times, because I was friendly with her, and {{w|Gunther Hampel}}. 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 this guy, Lorin, 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.

Gallanter continued, introducing Charmaine Lee who was performing with Benedict, explaining how they are good friends and she helped both him personally and the store a great deal during the {{w
|Covid pandemic}}.

First to perform was Lorin Benedict and Charmaine Lee, who performed in an almost entirely dark room, lit only by red light. Benedict performed vocals with a microphone only, while Lee performed using a electronic set-up on the table in front of her. 

Second was {{w|Kyoko Kitamura}}, who instead of performing in the back of the venue like most performers, performed in the middle, surrounded by people, using her voice and a few hand-held objects. She started off explaining, &quot;As musicians, we're constantly working with layers of listening, and as we bring awareness, it's almost like we're amplifying it, and I'm gonna be adding this very subtle layer on top of everything that's going on.&quot; She ended the performance by having the audience join her in making progressively louder exhaling shouts.

Third was Amy Sheffer and Rosi Hertlein, who performed several pieces, with Hertlein also playing violin. For the last piece, they brought out props, which Hertlein juggled in front of the nearby audience, who sometimes assisted. 

Last was Noa Fort, Yoon Sun Choi, and Elena Camerin, who all performed using microphones connected to the PA. All three performers used some degree of sound effects alternating with verbiage.

After each performance, there was considerable applause.

On Tuesday, March 24, {{w|Downtown Music Gallery}} in [[New York City]] continued its ongoing weekly in-store concert series with a night featuring eight {{w|Experimental music|experimental}} {{w|Singing|vocalists}}. Attendees filled the store.{{Verify|source1=https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/File:Dmg20260324x_02.png}} ''Wikinews'' was present for the concert.

:And in 1959, this was a very important year. Three records came out that changed the future of jazz. One was ''{{w|Kind of Blue}}'' by {{w|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 {{w|Dave Brubeck}} Quartet called ''{{w|Time Out (album)|Time Out}}''. And that record included songs in weird time signatures. You had &quot;Blue Rondo à la Turk&quot; and &quot;Take Five&quot;. 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 {{w|Sun Ra}}'s record ''{{w|Jazz in Silhouette}}'', which is a big band record, but it's very progressive.

:And then in California, you had {{w|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, {{w|John Coltrane}} was playing in Miles Davis' sextet, and his solos were getting longer and longer. And he met up with {{w|John Gilmore (musician)|John Gilmore}}, who was the sax player in Sun Ra's band, who was playing with {{w|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, &quot;I don't want to tour. I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing.&quot; 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 {{w|Elvin Jones}}, {{w|Jimmy Garrison}}, and {{w|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 {{w|Woody Guthrie}} and then {{w|Pete Seeger}} and then you had {{w|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 &quot;{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}&quot; by {{w|Bob Dylan}}, which is made popular by {{w|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 {{w|The Mothers of Invention}} when I was 13. That's {{w|Frank Zappa}}'s band, and Frank Zappa had this view about the unfairness of society. He wrote a song called &quot;{{w|Trouble Every Day (song)|Trouble Every Day}}&quot;. It's a long protest song. I have it 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 their own and then in the sixties people start experimenting with their voices uh... so you have people like Jeanne Lee uh... who else? (audience: Harry Woodward) {{w|Jay Clayton (musician)|Jay Clayton}}, yes, I mean, a lot of these people I got to know in the 70s. I remember seeing, late 70s, {{w|Ellen Christi}}. 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 {{w|Lisa Sokolov}}, I remember seeing. I saw Jeanne Lee play a bunch of times, because I was friendly with her, and {{w|Gunther Hampel}}. 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 this guy, Lorin, 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.

Gallanter continued, introducing Charmaine Lee who was performing with Benedict, explaining how they are good friends and she helped both him personally and the store a great deal during the {{w
|Covid pandemic}}.

First to perform was Lorin Benedict and Charmaine Lee, who performed in an almost entirely dark room, lit only by red light. Benedict performed vocals with a microphone only, while Lee performed using a electronic set-up on the table in front of her. 

Second was {{w|Kyoko Kitamura}}, who instead of performing in the back of the venue like most performers, performed in the middle, surrounded by people, using her voice and a few hand-held objects. She started off explaining, &quot;As musicians, we're constantly working with layers of listening, and as we bring awareness, it's almost like we're amplifying it, and I'm gonna be adding this very subtle layer on top of everything that's going on.&quot; She ended the performance by having the audience join her in making progressively louder exhaling shouts.

Third was Amy Sheffer and Rosi Hertlein, who performed several pieces, with Hertlein also playing violin. For the last piece, they brought out props, which Hertlein juggled in front of the nearby audience, who sometimes assisted. 

Last was Noa Fort, Yoon Sun Choi, and Elena Camerin, who all performed using microphones connected to the PA. All three performers used some degree of sound effects alternating with verbiage.

After each performance, there was considerable applause.

On Tuesday, March 24, {{w|Downtown Music Gallery}} in [[New York City]] continued its ongoing weekly in-store concert series with a night featuring eight {{w|Experimental music|experimental}} {{w|Singing|vocalists}}. Attendees filled the store.{{Verify|source1=https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/File:Dmg20260324x_02.png}} ''Wikinews'' was present for the concert. The performance was scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. local time (2230 UTC){{Verify|source1=https://avantmusicnews.com/2026/03/08/coming-to-downtown-music-gallery-94/}} but started shortly after, and ended around 9 p.m. local time (0100 UTC, March 5), with people mingling afterwards and making purchases.

Before the performances, Bruce Gallanter, the owner of Downtown Music Gallery, started the event with a verbal history of vocalists:

{{WNIR|Bruce Gallanter}} 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. 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 of neanderthals 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 in what 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 of people speaking, and also 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 {{w|Dixieland}} and jazz. You also had kind of folk stuff going on. And as far as classical composers go, {{w|Igor Stravinsky}} and {{w|Béla Bartók}} and {{w|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 the 20s, this is what happened. {{w|Duke Ellington}}'s band moved from DC to New York. {{w|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 {{w|Bing Crosby}}, {{w|Frank Sinatra}}, {{w|Ella Fitzgerald}}, {{w|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 {{w|Billy Eckstine}}'s big band, {{w|Charlie Parker}}, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}}, {{w|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 our buddy Lorin (Benedict) 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 Birth of Cool. That's {{w|Miles Davis}}, {{w|Gerry Mulligan}}, {{w|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, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}} put together a big band ({{w|The Modern Jazz Sextet}}). And in his big band, four members of his big band were {{w|John Lewis (pianist)|John Lewis}}, {{w|Milt Jackson}}, {{w|Connie Kay}}}, and {{w|Percy Heath}}. They started a quartet called the {{w|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 &quot;A Bird in Igor's Yard&quot;. That was written by {{w|George Russell (composer)|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 {{w|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 {{w|Art Blakey}} and {{w|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&amp;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 ''{{w|Kind of Blue}}'' by {{w|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 {{w|Dave Brubeck}} Quartet called ''{{w|Time Out (album)|Time Out}}''. And that record included songs in weird time signatures. You had &quot;Blue Rondo à la Turk&quot; and &quot;Take Five&quot;. 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 {{w|Sun Ra}}'s record ''{{w|Jazz in Silhouette}}'', which is a big band record, but it's very progressive.

:And then in California, you had {{w|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, {{w|John Coltrane}} was playing in Miles Davis' sextet, and his solos were getting longer and longer. And he met up with {{w|John Gilmore (musician)|John Gilmore}}, who was the sax player in Sun Ra's band, who was playing with {{w|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, &quot;I don't want to tour. I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing.&quot; 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 {{w|Elvin Jones}}, {{w|Jimmy Garrison}}, and {{w|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 {{w|Woody Guthrie}} and then {{w|Pete Seeger}} and then you had {{w|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 &quot;{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}&quot; by {{w|Bob Dylan}}, which is made popular by {{w|Peter, Paul, and Mary}}.

:Now, the vocal thing. This is all changing over time we have jazz vocalists singing with big bands singing on their own and then in the sixties people start experimenting with their voices uh... so you have people like Jeanne Lee uh... who else? (audience: Harry Woodward) {{w|Jay Clayton (musician)|Jay Clayton}}, yes, I mean, a lot of these people I got to know in the 70s. I remember seeing, late 70s, {{w|Ellen Christi}}. 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 {{w|Lisa Sokolov}}, I remember seeing. I saw Jeanne Lee play a bunch of times, because I was friendly with her, and {{w|Gunther Hampel}}. 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.

Third was Amy Sheffer and Rosi Hertlein, who performed several pieces, with Hertlein also playing violin. For the last piece, they brought out props, which Hertlein juggled in front of the nearby audience, who sometimes assisted. 

Last was Noa Fort, Yoon Sun Choi, and Elena Camerin, who all performed using microphones connected to the PA. All three performers used some degree of sound effects alternating with verbiage.

After each performance, there was considerable applause.

On Tuesday, March 24, {{w|Downtown Music Gallery}} in [[New York City]] continued its ongoing weekly in-store concert series with a night featuring eight {{w|Experimental music|experimental}} {{w|Singing|vocalists}}.

:I prepared a little introduction that has to do with the history of jazz vocals and vocals in general. 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 of neanderthals 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.

You probably know a few of the singers like {{w|Bing Crosby}}, {{w|Frank Sinatra}}, {{w|Ella Fitzgerald}}, {{w|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 {{w|Billy Eckstine}}'s big band, {{w|Charlie Parker}}, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}}, {{w|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 our buddy Lorin (Benedict) 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 Birth of Cool. That's {{w|Miles Davis}}, {{w|Gerry Mulligan}}, {{w|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, {{w|Dizzy Gillespie}} put together a big band ({{w|The Modern Jazz Sextet}}). And in his big band, four members of his big band were {{w|John Lewis (pianist)|John Lewis}}, {{w|Milt Jackson}}, {{w|Connie Kay}}}, and {{w|Percy Heath}}. They started a quartet called the {{w|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 &quot;A Bird in Igor's Yard&quot;. That was written by {{w|George Russell (composer)|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 {{w|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 {{w|Art Blakey}} and {{w|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&amp;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 ''{{w|Kind of Blue}}'' by {{w|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 {{w|Dave Brubeck}} Quartet called ''{{w|Time Out (album)|Time Out}}''. And that record included songs in weird time signatures. You had &quot;Blue Rondo à la Turk&quot; and &quot;Take Five&quot;. 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 {{w|Sun Ra}}'s record ''{{w|Jazz in Silhouette}}'', which is a big band record, but it's very progressive.

:And then in California, you had {{w|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, {{w|John Coltrane}} was playing in Miles Davis' sextet, and his solos were getting longer and longer. And he met up with {{w|John Gilmore (musician)|John Gilmore}}, who was the sax player in Sun Ra's band, who was playing with {{w|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, &quot;I don't want to tour. I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing.&quot; 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 {{w|Elvin Jones}}, {{w|Jimmy Garrison}}, and {{w|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 {{w|Woody Guthrie}} and then {{w|Pete Seeger}} and then you had {{w|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 &quot;{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}&quot; by {{w|Bob Dylan}}, which is made popular by {{w|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 {{w|The Mothers of Invention}} when I was 13. That's {{w|Frank Zappa}}'s band, and Frank Zappa had this view about the unfairness of society. He wrote a song called &quot;{{w|Trouble Every Day (song)|Trouble Every Day}}&quot;. It's a long protest song. I have it 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 their own and then in the sixties people start experimenting with their voices uh... so you have people like Jeanne Lee uh... who else? (audience: Harry Woodward) {{w|Jay Clayton (musician)|Jay Clayton}}, yes, I mean, a lot of these people I got to know in the 70s. I remember seeing, late 70s, {{w|Ellen Christi}}. 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 {{w|Lisa Sokolov}}, I remember seeing. I saw Jeanne Lee play a bunch of times, because I was friendly with her, and {{w|Gunther Hampel}}. 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 this guy, Lorin, 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.

Gallanter continued, introducing Charmaine Lee who was performing with Benedict, explaining how they are good friends and she helped both him personally and the store a great deal during the {{w
|Covid pandemic}}.

First to perform was Lorin Benedict and Charmaine Lee, who performed in an almost entirely dark room, lit only by red light. Benedict performed vocals with a microphone only, while Lee performed using a electronic set-up on the table in front of her. 

Second was {{w|Kyoko Kitamura}}, who instead of performing in the back of the venue like most performers, performed in the middle, surrounded by people, using her voice and a few hand-held objects. She started off explaining, &quot;As musicians, we're constantly working with layers of listening, and as we bring awareness, it's almost like we're amplifying it, and I'm gonna be adding this very subtle layer on top of everything that's going on.&quot; She ended the performance by having the audience join her in making progressively louder exhaling shouts.

Third was Amy Sheffer and Rosi Hertlein, who performed several pieces, with Hertlein also playing violin. For the last piece, they brought out props, which Hertlein juggled in front of the nearby audience, who sometimes assisted. 

Last was Noa Fort, Yoon Sun Choi, and Elena Camerin, who all performed using microphones connected to the PA. All three performers used some degree of sound effects alternating with verbiage.

After each performance, there was considerable applause.

I attended this performance, and recorded audio at points and took photos. I noted the lengths of the sets and discussed the high attendance informally with audience members. I discussed with Gallanter the idea of including his piece at the beginning here, and he approved. I will send scoop the relevant audio for the transcripts, as well as the ends of performances to illustrate the applause. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 20:27, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
*{{ping|Tduk}} The 1949 session with Miles Davis and others should be identified as ''Birth of the Cool'', not ''Earth of Cool'', right? --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 01:10, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
*:Yes corrected. There are other corrections I imagine that need to happen too; I just sent the audio to scoop and when I have a moment I'll listen to it in full and correct anything. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 14:57, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
{{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&amp;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.&quot;
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.

Here are the fixed versions of three paragraphs:

:Hi @[[User:Tduk|Tduk]]
:1. An uninformed reader, especially foreigner, may ask: &quot;What is a vocalist?&quot;. Please wikilink or clarify.
:2. Can &quot;The venue was so highly attended that the entire store was full, and people were watching from outside the entrance to the store.&quot; 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.

::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. I'll see if I can get in touch to get an email OKing it. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 14:40, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I got in touch with Gallanter who will be sending me a few corrections. When I get that, I'll forward it to scoop. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 15:07, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
::::I sent his corrections to scoop, listed them above, and incorporated them in the article. It should be close to ready now. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 15:50, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

== 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)</text>

[[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&amp;nbsp;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, &quot;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.&quot;

Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4306 --&gt; and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay, leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --&gt; The English-language Wikinews was formally created December&amp;nbsp;2 of that year, with German following one day later.&lt;!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)--&gt;

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, &quot;[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.&quot;

In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the front page of Wikipedia, an links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.

At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.

[[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&amp;nbsp;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, &quot;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.&quot;

Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4306 --&gt; and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay, leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --&gt; The English-language Wikinews was formally created December&amp;nbsp;2 of that year, with German following one day later.&lt;!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)--&gt;

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, &quot;[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.&quot; In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the &quot;In the News&quot; section of the front page of Wikipedia, and links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.

At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.

[[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&amp;nbsp;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, &quot;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.&quot;

Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4306 --&gt; and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay, leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --&gt; The English-language Wikinews was formally created December&amp;nbsp;2 of that year, with German following one day later.&lt;!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)--&gt;

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, &quot;[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.&quot; In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the &quot;In the News&quot; section of the front page of Wikipedia, and links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.

At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.

[[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&amp;nbsp;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, &quot;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.&quot;

Wikinews launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4306 --&gt; and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay, leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.&lt;!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --&gt; The English-language Wikinews was formally created December&amp;nbsp;2 of that year, with German following one day later.&lt;!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)--&gt;

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, &quot;[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.&quot; In 2013, a link to Wikinews was removed from the &quot;In the News&quot; section of the front page of Wikipedia, and links to Wikinews were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year.

At the time that the closure of Wikinews was announced, there were reportedly only about 700 active editors among all 31 language editions combined.

== Sources? ==

This is a 'policy' question, not an 'opinion' question: &quot;Newsworthiness&quot; and &quot;acceptable sources&quot;....... OR source notes and a single post on Instagram -- are we calling that acceptable for ''2 sources'' now?--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 18:28, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hi [[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]], 
:* bit hard to say without example, 
:* I think they are two sources if the two pieces of content came from different people. If Jane Smith posts on instagram and then the same Jane Smith provides OR source notes on-wiki, then it's a single source.
:* Also, if the reporter providing OR notes is a different person, you'd maybe want to ensure their OR notes come from 'something else' and not from a copy/paste of an Instagram page that they have read.
:Hope this is helpful. Happy to discuss this further if desired. Regards, -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:05, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
:If you're referring to a recent piece I was involved with, I had other sources, but they were also on social media because of the nature of the event, and didn't add any useful information. This actually raises an interesting question my mind, for stories like some I have been covering (because it was suggested to me), or @[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]]' [[Wikinews attends Veterans Day event in Texas, United States]], what kind of article are these actually? They largely center around the OR and simply need a source to confirm that they occurred, and feel philosophically closer to being interviews. Do others have thoughts? [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 10:52, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Yes -- that is exactly what I am referencing. But: I don't (personally) '''have the slightest problem with it.''' I was just wondering if policy really addresses the &quot;weight&quot; of certain sources. To clarify: On my Veteran's day event article -- loads of my OR stuff historically has been = 1. I was there and did some stuff and wrote down some stuff. and 2. See? Another media source also wrote some stuff kind of pertaining to that thing as well. And to further it a bit: Interviews are fabulous! They are the foundation of much of our best OR. &quot;Newsworthiness&quot; can (in rare instances) be a bit tricky -- but there are work arounds for that stuff. If I plopped down at a coffee shop today, and started interviewing a Vietnam vet, that interview ''might'' be newsworthy -- am I publishing around Veterans Day? Did that veteran engage is some really special actions? Do they have hair raising stories? Have they never been interviewed before?
I actually had to be reminded recently (I'd missed a beat on an article) that the ''focal event'' must have 2 sources (noted in policy).--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 19:18, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::For OR I was thinking one or two sources confirming the event occurred is sufficient. Other information got to be supported by reporter's notes. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 11:28, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
== Clarification: use of administrative undelete on articles authored by the admin ==

:See the original discussion: [[User talk:Gryllida#Unilateral undeletion]]

Non-administrators cannot undelete articles themselves and must instead request undeletion. This effectively ''requires'' non-administrators to request undeletion. Administrative tools should not be used to bypass the same undeletion process that applies to non-administrators.

A situation arose recently involving [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&amp;logid=4246553 the undeletion of an article] that had been deleted through the normal [[WN:PROD]] process. The article was subsequently undeleted by the same administrator who originally authored it, with the intent of continuing development.

This raises a process question about the appropriate use of administrative tools.

[[Wikinews:Undeletion guidelines]] indicates that articles deleted following process should normally have an undeletion ''request'' if they were wrongly deleted. In this case, the article was properly deleted according to policy, no undeletion request was filed, and the article was restored directly by the author using their administrative privileges.

The questions for the community are:

:Is it appropriate for an administrator to undelete an article they authored after it has been deleted through a normal process such as [[WN:PROD]]?

:If non-admins can't undelete unlilaterally, shouldn't admins abide by the same rules that are effectively forced on non-admins? If the author believes the deletion was incorrect, should the expected course instead be to request undeletion or seek community input?

The goal here is not to revisit the merits of the specific article, but to clarify expectations around the use of administrative tools when an administrator has a direct editorial interest in the page, which may raise conflict-of-interest concerns.

Community input would be appreciated so that we have a clearer shared understanding going forward.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 23:40, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

:I do not understand the admins vs non-admins analogy. For any user who asks, for Gatwick purpose, I would undelete immediately. I don't see a need for me to ask another admin in that scenario. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:09, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

:: The concerns raised by [[User talk:Gryllida#Unilateral undeletion|my original post]] to Gryllida's talk page are:
::# It was an administrative action taken by Gryllida on a page where Gryllida is the author
::# Non-administrators cannot undelete [their own] articles at will, therefore administrators should not do so either. 
:: 
:: Starting a new article is, in my opinion, the best route here (the original draft is from November, 2025). However, an undeletion request at [[WN:DR]] is an easy alternative, to avoid the perception that one can or should use advanced flags for their own editorial interests, which is what was done here. 
:: The article has since been userified at [[User:Acagastya|Acagastya's]] prompting, so the immediate problem of stale content in main space has been addressed. 
:: The broader question remains; Is it appropriate for an administrator to undelete an article they authored after it has been deleted through a normal process such as WN:PROD?[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 22:36, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

:::::Thanks for those additional notes. To summarize, you provided quotes from ENWP pages, which suggest consulting an admin before challenging their action; and not using admin tools for personal gain/interest. 
:::::I am happy to hear the above, however, trying to make this a 'news site' more than 'a wiki', a few notes on top of it,
:::::* ENWP policies or guidelines do not all fully apply here. They may in some cases be a useful baseline.
:::::* I don't know of an example scenario when an admin could abuse the admin privilege for 'personal gain/personal interest' leading to reduced quality of content of a wiki. The only example I can think of is 'unblock a disruptive user who is a family member' or 'edit a protected page to advertise a personal business' or some other thing. I believe that 'undelete my own page to resume work on it' is substantially less severe than these examples.
:::::* I would suggest not banning restoring pages for Gatwick (even if they were deleted in process, were not marked as OR, etc.). I believe that prior edit history and talk page content may be useful for future work. The purpose of this suggestion is to make as much prior collaboration available as possible for future news writing work, I believe this makes it more efficient.
:::::* I would suggest allowing page undeletion (even if it was deleted by another admin) '''without need to request permission'''. The purpose of this suggestion is to avoid delays in the case 'admin 1' is away; news may lose its 'freshness' by hour and day by day.
:::::* I would suggest instead to instead require that the involved admin who deleted the page, is ''notified'' of the action that was done. Waiting for that admin to reply may delay news work. Requiring admin 2 to notify admin 1 with note 'Hi, I undeleted a page you deleted, (I / another user who made a request) is going to (continue to work on/Gatwick) it'. The purpose of this suggestion is to avoid delays in the case 'admin 1' is away; news may lose its 'freshness' by hour and day by day.
:::::* I would suggest that 'Administrators should not normally use their tools in matters in which they are personally involved.' does not apply to undeleting my own pages, provided the 'admin 1' in scenario shown above was ''notified'' of the action that was taken. The purpose of this suggestion is to avoid delays in the case 'admin 1' is away; news may lose its 'freshness' by hour and day by day.
:::::* I would suggest that software is developed so that users are notified with a talk page message when an article they edited, is tagged as abandoned. This is just in case a notification was not configured, or was missed.
:::::There is another approach, &quot;admin 2 asks admin 1 for permission to undelete. if the permission was not provided in (N hours), then request is made at a wiki forum (AAA, WN:UNDR, whatever) where another admin may action it to avoid involvement of admin 2 in undeleting own work&quot;. I do not like that approach because it involves delays. But I could live with it if needed.
:::::There is another approach, not undeleting pages deleted 'in process', I am least comfortable with it, but I can live with it too if this is what was wanted out of this discussion. I can copy/paste a last revision to a new page. I would be a bit unhappy with this as this loses transparency hiding contributions of other users to that revision, and talk page content of previous page is lost.
:::::I am happy to hear your thoughts about each of the above points how to resolve this to work as a &quot;news site&quot; with rapid work without compromising basic principles of respect and integrity as a team.
:::::Thanks. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 10:01, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::I'd like to point out that @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]'s stances, to me, seem consistent with those we have discussed in the past, and have not been changed because of this recent event. 
::::::I'd also add that I've found the aggressive deletion policy on this site to be problematic, and so would suggest that a lot of this could be avoided if, for instance, instead of deleting stale pages, they are moved to userspace (with perhaps a timer; but also, restoring a deleted page to userspace should also be uncontroversial, as should moving such a page to mainspace; in my view, this action also was fairly uncontroversial, and is easily one of these least controversial things I have seen on this site, yet for some reason it is being focused in great detail).

:::::: The process of keeping the project free of failed-to-publish work is well established and has been long-practiced. It is one of the key differences between a journalism project and an encyclopedic project.&lt;br&gt;Our undeletion process is well defined with a simple guideline. As has been stated long ago:[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Deletion_requests/Archives/2020#c-Pi_zero-2020-05-10T17:46:00.000Z-DannyS712-2020-05-09T23:57:00.000Z] &quot;We *have* been quite willing to undelete old failed articles for the sake of a new development...&quot;&lt;br&gt;In the case that prompted this discussion, the first undeletion, was not directly challenged. It was [[User talk:Gryllida/New CEO of Bureau of Meteorology, Australia, announces AU$96.5M website upgrade bill#c-Michael.C.Wright-20260220150200-BigKrow-20260220132100|noted on the talk page]], but not challenged.&lt;br&gt;Then the article sat with a focal event and sources that are ''months'' old. &lt;br&gt;The article was not further developed. &lt;br&gt;It was then marked as stale (even OR goes stale) but not further developed. &lt;br&gt;It was then marked as abandoned and no development was done, no update provided, and it was not userified. &lt;br&gt;It was then deleted again as abandoned. ([[WN:PROD]] offers no exceptions for OR).&lt;br&gt;At each point of deletion, the article demonstratively had not improved the project. It still hasn't. &lt;br&gt;Three things could have been done to avoid this whole fiasco, all without changes to policy, guidelines, or procedures: 
:::::: 
::::::# Actual development after the first undeletion.
::::::# A new article started, i.e., in [[Wikinews:Prepared stories]]
::::::# An undeletion request made
:::::: 
:::::: As [[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]] has said in a [[Wikinews:Deletion requests/Archives/2020#Wikinews:Story preparation/US judge rules Ocean City, Maryland, ban on public nudity legal|previous undeletion request]], &quot;If you have prepared the questions already -- request UDEL when answers are available.&quot;
:::::: I would add that #1 above does not address the main question here and is not what I would recommend in the future for cases of ''involvement''. I think we still need to decide if an admin can use advanced flags in cases where they are involved.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 14:15, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
{{od}} I don't understand what the concern is about?  Is it about admins having few perms which they can use which non-admins can't?  XOR is it that why things weren't userified immediately?  Admins can do a lot of thigns non-users can't like blocking someone, or undeleting something from main space (non-published articles) for testing purpose, or reverting edits -- they don't need to ask anyone for that, because admins are trusted with usage of these tools with the years worth of community's functioning, traditions, knowledge and common sense.  You can see that on the same page you have cited how things have been UDEL'd before.  Instead of making this a big deal, let's stick to how things have been done; informing the community as to why you are UDELing non-test pages so there is a written record ({{ping|Gryllida}} -- this is something you should do), and then actually working on it.  If that is not happening, then goes to deletion again.  In case if it is an OR where the answers are already there for the interview, userify it -- despite that being something I personally didn't agree with, pizero and the rest of the community was of the opinion (and something practiced by the community) to userify those articles.&lt;br&gt;[[User talk:Acagastya|&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;&quot;&gt;•&amp;ndash;•&lt;/span&gt;]] 14:36, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
: The concern is primarily that the undelete was performed by the admin who authored the article. I have already acknowledged[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#c-Michael.C.Wright-20260307141500-Gryllida-202603071001] that we undelete for further development. But further development has still not happened.&lt;br&gt;The issue simplified is; an admin wrote an article that failed to be published and it was eventually abandoned and deleted. The admin undeleted the article then abandoned it again and it was deleted. The admin undeleted the article a second time, then abandoned it again. &lt;br&gt;To your question about why this has become a &quot;big deal,&quot; it wasn't at first. The admin’s involvement was [[User_talk:Gryllida/New_CEO_of_Bureau_of_Meteorology,_Australia,_announces_AU$96.5M_website_upgrade_bill#c-Michael.C.Wright-20260220150200-BigKrow-20260220132100|noted on the article talk page]] after the first undeletion, and no further action or objection was raised at the time because—had timely development occurred—it likely would not have been a big deal. &lt;br&gt;The repeated 'undelete then abandon' process exacerbated the issue. It could be perceived as misusing one's position and tools as an admin to circumvent processes non-admins don't have the privilege to circumvent to advance their own editorial interests.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 16:13, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
::Shouldn't that be flagged at the first instance, then?

*I don't see a problem with an administrator undeleting their own article here at Wikinews.

That said, if the article is undeleted by the admin/article creator, but then ''doesn't'' get worked on and winds up being deleted again, I don't see that as the admin/article creator &quot;advancing their own editorial interests&quot;; the article would in that circumstance never have gotten published and thus the article creator's editorial interests would not have been advanced at all. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] ([[User talk:Metropolitan90|talk]]) 20:24, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

:: @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]], I did not self-review as I did not author the article. The article in question is likely [[US president Donald Trump demands the unconditional surrender of Iran]].&lt;br&gt;To summarize the sequence of events:
:: 
::* [[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]], a new reviewer, reviewed and published the article. During the review a paywalled source was removed, but the attribution and some statements supported only by that source remained in the article.
::* That issue was raised on the talk page after publication but while the article was still within the editing window.
::* [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] then added two new sources post-publication. Those changes were sighted by Lofi Gurl.
:: 
:: Under [[WN:Archive]], adding new sources after publication is not permitted. I therefore removed those sources and corrected the related statements.&lt;br&gt;The article was still within the 72-hour post-publication editing window ([[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals/archives/2025/October#Reforming review process|formerly 24 hours]]). I then corrected grammar, factual inaccuracies, unsupported statements, and bias. Because this functionally required re-reviewing the article, I sighted my changes.&lt;br&gt;Self-sighting what was essentially a review was a way to avoid a correction or a retraction.&lt;br&gt;Since this situation is not explicitly addressed in policy or guideline, I propose we standardize guidance for it. Earlier discussion touched on this when the window was still 24 hours ([[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals/archives/2025/April#Reviewers self-sighting within 24 hours|discussion here]]). Given the window is now 72 hours, it would be helpful to codify expectations so we rely less on institutional knowledge.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 01:36, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Any factual information that is added or removed requires another reviewer to look into it, this has been a standard for a very very long time.  Besides, you must ask another reviewer to sight these changes, and MUST NOT self-sight.  [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=US_president_Donald_Trump_demands_the_unconditional_surrender_of_Iran&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4996705 1] [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=US_president_Donald_Trump_demands_the_unconditional_surrender_of_Iran&amp;diff=next&amp;oldid=4996713 2] [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=US_president_Donald_Trump_demands_the_unconditional_surrender_of_Iran&amp;diff=next&amp;oldid=4996717 3] [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=US_president_Donald_Trump_demands_the_unconditional_surrender_of_Iran&amp;diff=next&amp;oldid=4996727 4] [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=US_president_Donald_Trump_demands_the_unconditional_surrender_of_Iran&amp;diff=next&amp;oldid=4996738 5] [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=US_president_Donald_Trump_demands_the_unconditional_surrender_of_Iran&amp;diff=next&amp;oldid=4996743 6].  Please do not self-sight these edits.&lt;br&gt;[[User talk:Acagastya|&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;&quot;&gt;•&amp;ndash;•&lt;/span&gt;]] 02:50, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Also, it isn't really some secret that if the reviewer is responsible for an edit which removes/adds information (change is but removal and addition), they can't sight it.  That's the point of reviewing to make sure someone vets it. [[Special:Contributions/&amp;#126;2026-16790-14|&amp;#126;2026-16790-14]] ([[User talk:&amp;#126;2026-16790-14|talk]]) 13:44, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::: How many layers do we vet though? I was not the first or primary reviewer of the article. Therefore my actions were vetting another reviewer. By requiring my changes of their review to be vetted, we then require three different reviewers to be involved in a single article and likely delay improvements to accuracy.
:::: No one is objecting to the actual edits, but to the fact that they were self-sighted. If they were controversial, such as changing &quot;pro-life&quot; to &quot;anti-abortion,&quot; I'd likely not self-sight. For example, I was quite deliberate and slow with sighting during [[Talk:New York county clerk says Texas cannot fine abortion doctor#Correction regarding Roe|this correction discussion on the topic]], to make sure everyone had an opportunity to weigh-in.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 17:29, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:: @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]], I would offer a slightly different perspective on this.
:: 
::# There is currently no policy that explicitly prohibits self-sighting.
::# Essays, by their own definition, are not enforceable policy; the header notes they “may not be enforced [as] official policy” and are intended to supplement or interpret policy rather than define it.
::# There is precedent for reviewers sighting their own changes, including instances involving [[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]]. For example: [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Anti-abortion_March_for_Life_draws_thousands_in_Washington,_D.C.&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4284416], [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Anti-abortion_March_for_Life_draws_thousands_in_Washington,_D.C.&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4283530], and a self-sighted correction here: [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Bolivian_president_announces_legal_action_over_Obama's_'crimes_against_humanity'&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=2023679].
::# [[WN:IAR]] provides that rules should not prevent improvement or maintenance of the project. In this case, the edits were made to correct unsupported statements and policy issues within the allowed window, avoiding the need for a later correction or retraction.
::# The changes themselves remained within what is already permitted in review: no new facts or sources were introduced, and the edits focused on accuracy, attribution, and neutrality.
:: 
:: Given the absence of explicit policy on this point, it may be worth codifying expectations into a policy such as &lt;del&gt;WN:REV&lt;/del&gt; &lt;ins&gt;[[WN:Archive]]&lt;/ins&gt; or a new guideline based on Pi's essay and actual practice, so that similar situations can be handled more consistently going forward.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 17:15, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::I'd just like to point out that this isn't an isolated case of self-sighting upon/after publication: [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Musical_performance_presented_by_Striped_Light_in_Long_Island_City%2C_New_York_showcases_four_performers&amp;diff=4990617&amp;oldid=4990554]... I didn't object at that point because I did not want to prolong more painful discussions. Much of the material which was removed could have been sourced; I was discouraged from including redundant sources in general so I erred on the other side of things. I have to say I was surprised to see it published with content removed. There was absolutely no vetting that occured here. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 17:26, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::: The diff you linked to was performed during the review process and immediately ''preceded'' publication.
:::: &gt; ''Much of the material which was removed could have been sourced...''
:::: If it isn't sourced at the time a review is requested and it isn't in direct support of the 5Ws, it is fair game for removal. It is the author's responsibility to ensure facts are verifiable and it is the reviewer's responsibility to ensure facts are verified.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 17:34, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::The removal was still self-sighted, that's why it surprised me. I wasn't sure of the policy and at this point I still am not, so I leave it for others to interpret. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 17:40, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::: The removal you linked to was not self-sighted. It occurred immediately prior to publication, when FlaggedRevs was applied to mark that revision as the stable version, meaning the changes were included in the final reviewed revision rather than being a post-publication self-sighted edit.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:09, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::[[Wikinews:Reviewing articles]] states that &quot;''Edits can be made but must also be sighted (approved by a reviewer) within 24 hours''&quot;, thus sighting is just defined as being reviewed be a reviewer. I don't see any context that relates the use of the phrase &quot;self-sighted&quot; to whether the article was published or not. Am I missing something? You reviewed your own substantial edits to the article and then immediately published them. Whether these kinds of self-sighted changes are allowed is another story, but that is what they appear to be. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 18:17, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::: Yes, I think you are missing something. Sighting is not typically available until an article is published. Drafts are not marked as “stable” in FlaggedRevs until a reviewer applies a sighted revision, which typically occurs at the point of publication (e.g., via EzPR), or occasionally earlier if done in error.
:::::::: The diff you linked was an edit made during the review process, prior to any stable version being set. In other words, it was part of preparing the final reviewed revision and was not a post-publication, self-sighted change.
:::::::: &gt; ''You reviewed your own substantial edits to the article and then immediately published them.''
:::::::: That is inherent to the review process. Reviewers routinely make edits to ensure accuracy, attribution, and neutrality before marking a revision as stable and publishing it. If a statement is unsupported and does not contribute to the 5Ws, it is appropriate to remove it during review. This is explicitly supported by other reviewers.[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance/archives/2024/November#c-Heavy_Water-20241128211600-Gryllida-20241128183100], [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance/archives/2024/November#c-Gryllida-20241128213400-Heavy_Water-20241128211600]
:::::::: As a general principle, all contributions are subject to revision during review. In practice, that expectation is best understood as: if non-5W material is not verifiable, it is likely to be removed.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:42, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::As an aside, I am trying to understand point #4 here - is it advocating ignoring all rules with the purpose of enforcing rules? That's how I read it. Above, you stated that you removed content because it broke rules, &quot;''Under WN:Archive, adding new sources after publication is not permitted. I therefore removed those sources and corrected the related statements.''&quot; - it seems a bit confusing to say that IAR applies to your edit, but not to those you undid, which I think were pretty clearly trying to improve or maintain the project. What am I missing? [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 17:26, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::: The point is that even though the essay recommends not self-sighting changes post-publication, [[WN:IAR]] supports ignoring the essay in favor of improving the project.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 17:35, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::Doesn't [[WN:IAR]] also then support ignoring the section of [[WN:Archive]] that you were referring to, under the same logic? [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 17:41, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::: IAR allows flexibility where rules obstruct improvement, but it does not negate the underlying purpose of policies like [[WN:Archive]]. In this case, removing post-publication additions restored the article to a policy-compliant state, whereas adding new material post-publication moved it further outside the reviewed version.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 18:01, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::I think IAR does not apply in this scenario, because these edits from post publishing could have been left for another reviewer to approve, as per the usual procedure. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 01:14, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::: Just to clarify, there are also instances where you have sighted your own edits, for example: [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=%22Media_and_Tenkil%22_exhibit_opens_in_Hanau,_Germany&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4983991], [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Mexican_Navy_medical_plane_with_children_transported_for_Michou_and_Mau_Foundation_crashes_off_Texas_coast&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=4964301].
:::::::: In those cases, would it have been preferable to wait for another reviewer to sight them? I ask because this seems to be a fairly common practice when making straightforward corrections, and it may be worth clarifying expectations so they are applied consistently.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 03:31, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::: An even more relevant example may be: [[Talk:Boeing 787 crashes into Indian medical school, killing hundreds#Reviewer-involved post-publication edits]].
:::::::: In that instance, content from an article you authored was merged into a published article (following a dispute between yourself and [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]]), introducing unsupported claims. Several of those post-publication edits were self-sighted, and the article was later corrected to address issues arising from those changes.
:::::::: Given that, I’m trying to understand how the standard being applied here differs from that situation.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 04:01, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
:I wasn't around for whatever all this is currently and I'm not clear on who performed the alleged offense, but I can confirm that the idea of reviewers not sighting their own work is not new on Wikinews; there is precedent. If, right now, it's only written down in a mere essay then the answer is to 1) acknowledge that no one violated any policy or guideline and 2) write a guideline and cite it going forward. Want me to draft it? I wasn't here for the drama and don't know who's accusing whom, so I can be neutral that way. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 00:58, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
::I'm not involved in this other than trying to understand what the policy is; but on that note, if something is drafted, I think it should be clear whether the policyreferring to after publication, or during the review stage, or even immediately before publication. There seems to be some ambiguity there as well. [[User:Tduk|Tduk]] ([[User talk:Tduk|talk]]) 03:11, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
:: @[[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]], I appreciate the offer, and I agree clearer and more-prominent guidance would be helpful.
:: That said, it would be important to ensure the specific scenario here is well understood before drafting, as it involves a somewhat unusual sequence of events involving three reviewers. As we bring in newer reviewers, situations like this may become more common, so getting the details right would matter (and I’m not suggesting this was the fault of the new reviewer).
:: From my perspective, and from what I can see in practice by other reviewers is that post-publication self-sighting should not be treated as categorically prohibited or permitted; its appropriateness depends on whether the edit introduces new material requiring independent verification or restores the article to a compliant, reviewed state. 
:: It may help to first outline the specific conditions we’re trying to address, and then draft guidance around those, rather than starting from a more general rule.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (&lt;sup&gt;[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]&lt;/sub&gt;) 03:21, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

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}}

=== 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 &quot;archived-but-not-really-archived&quot; articles that could be addressed:

* [[:Category:Archived-bot]]
* [[:Category:AutoArchived]]
* [[:Category:Archived by Gryllida]]

Published, but not archived articles:

&lt;DynamicPageList&gt;
allowcachedresults = true
category=Published
notcategory=Archived
notcategory=AutoArchived
addfirstcategorydate=true
namespace=wiki
&lt;/DynamicPageList&gt;

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 &lt;s&gt;{{tl|Topic cat/latest}}&lt;/s&gt;)
* Infoboxes (see below)

Pages using DPL: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages using the DynamicPageList extension}}

=== 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.

{{w|Brazil women's national football team}} defeated {{w|Zambia women's national football team|Zambia}} 6-1 in a friendly. [[File:Selection feminine.jpg|thumb]]
On 15 April 2026, Brazil defeated Zambia in a thrilling 6-1 thrashing. Zambia's and Brazil's national teams have been on a similar run of form, with Zambia having 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last five matches, whilst Brazil have 3 wins and 2 losses in their last five. Only being 1-0 at the break, Brazil then went on to score five. When Zambia's first-choice goalkeeper Nali got a red card, Zambia were reduced to 10 women. Zambia's Banda scored their only goal in the 51st minute, whilst Brazil's scorers were {{w|Yasmim}} (30'), {{w|Tainá Maranhão}} (47'), {{w|Angelina (footballer)|Angelina}} (60' pen), {{w|Raissa Bahia}} (77'), {{w|Kerolin}} (90'+1) and {{w|Vitória Calhau}} (90'+6 pen). Two of Brazil's goals were from penalties. Nali's red card.

[[w:Pope Leo XIV|Pope Leo XIV]] arrived in [[Angola]] on Sunday, beginning the third stop of his apostolic visit to Africa. The eleven-day visit also includes stops in the nations of [[Algeria]], [[Cameroon]], and [[Equatorial Guinea]].

The pope was met by the Angolan President [[w:Joao Lourenco|Joao Lourenco]] among other officials upon arriving. He made an address near the capital of [[w:Luanda|Luanda]] which emphasized social justice, peace, and ending poverty to the crowd gathered.

The stop was preceded by a visit to Cameroon, where a similar message was made to over 120,000 Cameroonians in the city of [[w:Douala|Douala]]. This leg of the visit also saw stops at Catholic hospitals and universities.

His first stop in Algeria marked the first papal visit to the country in history. The pope visited several locations including ancient Christian sites in [[w:Annaba|Annaba]] and the [[w:Great Mosque of Algiers|Great Mosque of Algiers]] in the capital before departing.

After Angola, the pope will arrive in Equatorial Guinea for the final leg of the visit before returning to [[the Vatican]]. Catholics make up more than 70% of the central African nation.

The purpose of the pope's visit is to &quot;turn the world's attention to Africa&quot;, according to an official of the Vatican cited by the [[BBC]]. Similar statements made have emphasized regional peace and inter-faith dialogue as overarching goals.

The regions of the continent being visited are among the quickest growing in Catholicism in the world. There were an estimated 288 million Catholics in Africa in 2024, making up more than one-fifth of the world's total.

The visit marked the Leo's second major apostolic visit as pope after [[w:Visit by Pope Leo XIV to Turkey and Lebanon|visiting Lebanon and Turkey]] earlier.
