line. --> == Limit the FlaggedRevs extension to the article namespace? == Regarding the FlaggedRevs extension in this project, I would like to propose both of the following: # We limit the namespace to only 0 (article namespace), since other namespaces are not considered to be reader material. # Set <code>$wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes</code> to <code>0</code> (<code>$wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes = 0</code>), which should no longer allow FlaggedRevs to detect the stable version of templates in articles, if available. I have done [[:b:en:Wikibooks:Reading room/Proposals#Limit some namespaces on this project's FlaggedRevs extension?|a similar proposal]] months ago on English Wikibooks. Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 06:07, 5 January 2026 (UTC) : I like the idea. I'd like to see what other, more technical folks have to say before officially supporting it. We may also benefit from waiting until en.WB completes their change to see what issues they run into in the process. : We would need to organize a small project team to go through all templates and deal with unsighted changes before the config change, to ensure unsighted changes aren't either lost or auto-sighted, depending on how the process handles unsighted changes. : We also are waiting for the WMF Board to announce their decision on the recommendation to close all Wikinews.

Not really interested in that scenario; interested in those that are not edit protected. Those that are edit protected, it is correct that they require an admin and a reviewer with current setup, and only a admin with proposed setup. But that was not the point that I was raising. :::::3a. Setting <pre>$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['review'] = true; //allow administrators to review revisions</pre> could be an option, if needed. A request would need to be made that sysops only work outside of main namespace, and possibly only with cosmetic edits to main namespace. That too would reduce reviewers backlog as they would not need to sight changes where a vandal did something and it was undone back identical to previous revision, or minor formatting and punctuation edits. :::::4. Ok, fine. By 14% is still helpful. :::::2, 4. It is not called "removing / disabling flaggedrevs", it is called "disabling flaggedrevs on namespaces that are not main".

As I understand it, the primary focus of the Reviewers user group is to review and evaluate articles and publish them, along with related changes. This would certainly reduce the additional, less important pending changes burden in other namespaces.

With the flagged revs being disabled for them. There is a need to make a decision what to do to prevent vandalism and other unwanted edits. * Option 1: do nothing; the templates become available for anyone to edit. Another user can undo that. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; any user can monitor and undo. * Option 2: protect on 'auto-confirmed' level. Accounts with the 'autoconfirmed' privilege can edit. Another 'autoconfirmed' user can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; an 'autoconfirmed' user or users need to check recent changes and monitor. This inconveniences users who are not 'autoconfirmed' because they havve to open a new section at talk page to request an edit. Work load on 'auto-confirmed' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. * Option 3: protect on 'some new privilege name here' level. The privilege is given out to any user who was doing something constructive and is provided by request without needing to do a full vote. A vote may be held to remove it if needed or an admin can remove that privilege if it was misused. Another 'some new privilege name here' user can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong; an 'some new privilege name here' user or users need to check recent changes and monitor. This inconveniences users who are not a'some new privilege name here' because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'some new privilege name here' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. * Option 4: protect on 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' level. Accounts with 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' privilege can edit, and another user with that privilege can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong, however, the pool of users was hand selected and voted on and the risk was reduced. This inconveniences users who are not a 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'reviewer or sysop or interface admin' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. * Option 5: protect on 'sysop' level. Accounts with sysop (Administrator) privilege can edit, and another user with that privilege can undo if needed. There is a risk that an edit is done wrong, however, the pool of users was hand selected and voted on and the risk was reduced. This inconveniences users who are not a Administrator because now they have to manually request new edits at the talk page. Work load on 'Administrator' is increased because they have to monitor such requests and recent changes. Let me know if I missed something. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 03:01, 22 February 2026 (UTC) Comments and discussion * I have stronger support for 5 than 4 than 3 than 2. The amount of such changes made in template namespace was tiny and I propose to reduce load on 'contributors, users, reviewers, and interface admins', as they best work on news. Solving vandalism or 'hey lets change this because thats how i did it somewhere else and i thought that is good here' or 'i am confused' issues is a sysop job (ignoring that sysops have huge backlog because I am here and I don't even know that these tasks exist, but still. sysop handle mitigations of abuse and approvals of legit edits, in my view. I do not want to bring up question of sysop backlog size or lack of prior involvement in such issues before as it is not directly relevant to my argument).

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

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

At some point I added a note like ", a state in east coast of United States," for something, for that reason. *:* Sport articles, for example, suffer a lot from lack of explanations. :S *:* Also this approach gave advantage that items that ''are'' wikilinked do, eventually in an utopic world when news writing is an everyday thing, become wikilinks to local categories about that event series or place or topic in ''news'' context, with a feed for that. For example there is no category "Dog". Or [[court]]. Or something. *:* If I removed a wikilink, I should probably feel compelled to either add a brief note or add a local news-feed (category) link. *:* A reviewer can do such minor chanhe if needed. *:* And I personally do not see any reason to change that policy in its current version. *:[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 05:00, 28 February 2026 (UTC) *{{weak delete}} Admittedly, having too many wikilinks looks bad.

That could help authors who aren’t keeping up with reviewer requests and would be more like a scientific journal process where at least two people check a page before publication. Since the software supports pre-reviews, we could encourage everyone to pre-review more broadly. Proposed actions: 1. Add a friendly site notice inviting users to join a “newsroom” and review at least one article per day. Link to a Newsroom guide explaining categories: Drafts = need pre-review, expand, submit for review Queue = possibly ready; check carefully and flag issues Disputed = issues found; fix and resubmit That page like [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] but a mini-version: with only one paragraph intro linking to key policies; three lists (draft, review, disputed) one paragraph before each; one list (published in last three days) also one para explaining process of improving or cross checking those. That could be more user friendly for newbies than the current "everything and a kitchen sink" current version. 2. On submission, automatically leave the user a message with a request to pre-review at least two pages from the Newsroom, again linking to its over simplified version, perhaps even transcluding it to the user's talk page (via subst, so only then-current version is included in the message) as then they do not need to open the Newsroom link to see the topics being written about in the new drafts. These steps should speed feedback to authors and surface more issues before publishing, and bring more hands to fix them. Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:10, 27 March 2026 (UTC) 3.

Given that live video sessions may not be feasible for many participants, this workshop would primarily be text-based and hosted on-wiki (with optional use of chat platforms for discussion). However, if any experienced reviewer is interested in contributing via a presentation or live session, that would certainly be welcome. The workshop would be divided into 4-5 sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reviewing process. These may include: * Introduction to the role and responsibilities of a reviewer * Core review criteria (newsworthiness, neutrality, verifiability, freshness, copyvio) * Source verification and common issues in articles * The review workflow (from submission to publication) * Post-publication review and maintenance Each section would include short explanatory materials (text, slides, or diagrams), followed by practical tasks. These tasks could include answering questions, identifying issues in sample articles, or performing a simulated review. Participants who complete the workshop should gain a clearer understanding of how reviewing works in practice. Rather than replacing the existing reviewer nomination process, the workshop could serve as a preparation pathway, helping participants build the skills and confidence needed before being nominated. Additionally, participants who demonstrate strong understanding during the workshop could be encouraged or mentored further as potential reviewer candidates. To keep the workshop effective, participation may be limited to a small group. We would likely need at least 2-3 experienced reviewers to help guide discussions, review responses, and provide feedback. I would be happy to help prepare materials such as slides, flowcharts, and example articles. I would appreciate the community's thoughts on this idea: Would such a workshop be useful? Would any reviewers be interested in helping organize or mentor participants? Are there improvements or alternative approaches we should consider?

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

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

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

Link to a Newsroom guide explaining categories: Drafts = need pre-review, expand, submit for review Queue = possibly ready; check carefully and flag issues Disputed = issues found; fix and resubmit That page like [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] but a mini-version: with only one paragraph intro linking to key policies; three lists (draft, review, disputed) one paragraph before each; one list (published in last three days) also one para explaining process of improving or cross checking those. That could be more user friendly for newbies than the current "everything and a kitchen sink" current version. 2. On submission, automatically leave the user a message with a request to pre-review at least two pages from the Newsroom, again linking to its over simplified version, perhaps even transcluding it to the user's talk page (via subst, so only then-current version is included in the message) as then they do not need to open the Newsroom link to see the topics being written about in the new drafts. These steps should speed feedback to authors and surface more issues before publishing, and bring more hands to fix them. Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:10, 27 March 2026 (UTC) 3. At submission, present user a button "pre-review my own article" which is like pre-review process they do for article they just submitted. 2a. Example: [[User:Gryllida/MiniNewsroom]] --[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:31, 27 March 2026 (UTC) :4. Add button "mark as stale" to the develop template.

Given that live video sessions may not be feasible for many participants, this workshop would primarily be text-based and hosted on-wiki (with optional use of chat platforms for discussion). However, if any experienced reviewer is interested in contributing via a presentation or live session, that would certainly be welcome. The workshop would be divided into 4-5 sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reviewing process. These may include: * Introduction to the role and responsibilities of a reviewer * Core review criteria (newsworthiness, neutrality, verifiability, freshness, copyvio) * Source verification and common issues in articles * The review workflow (from submission to publication) * Post-publication review and maintenance Each section would include short explanatory materials (text, slides, or diagrams), followed by practical tasks. These tasks could include answering questions, identifying issues in sample articles, or performing a simulated review. Participants who complete the workshop should gain a clearer understanding of how reviewing works in practice. Rather than replacing the existing reviewer nomination process, the workshop could serve as a preparation pathway, helping participants build the skills and confidence needed before being nominated. Additionally, participants who demonstrate strong understanding during the workshop could be encouraged or mentored further as potential reviewer candidates. To keep the workshop effective, participation may be limited to a small group. We would likely need at least 2-3 experienced reviewers to help guide discussions, review responses, and provide feedback. I would be happy to help prepare materials such as slides, flowcharts, and example articles. I would appreciate the community's thoughts on this idea: Would such a workshop be useful? Would any reviewers be interested in helping organize or mentor participants? Are there improvements or alternative approaches we should consider?

Now I'm not part of the local community, but I do think that it would be in the interest of Wikinews as a whole (even in read-only state) to trim the fat as much as possible. Thus my suggestions are 1) that [[:meta:Welcoming policy]] be adopted and 2) that all pages which don't follow this policy be deleted (that is, if a user didn't create their account here, never made an edit here, and their talk page was never used by anyone else, it's up for deletion).

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

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 03:01, 22 February 2026 (UTC) Comments and discussion * I have stronger support for 5 than 4 than 3 than 2. The amount of such changes made in template namespace was tiny and I propose to reduce load on 'contributors, users, reviewers, and interface admins', as they best work on news. Solving vandalism or 'hey lets change this because thats how i did it somewhere else and i thought that is good here' or 'i am confused' issues is a sysop job (ignoring that sysops have huge backlog because I am here and I don't even know that these tasks exist, but still. sysop handle mitigations of abuse and approvals of legit edits, in my view. I do not want to bring up question of sysop backlog size or lack of prior involvement in such issues before as it is not directly relevant to my argument).

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

The way we are collectively navigating that gap is creating friction (to put it politely) and, in practice, a status quo of low output. : We need to resolve that tension. Either we reform our PaGs to reflect a more achievable standard, or we raise the quality of our work to meet them. : Given the ongoing friction, I find myself looking for other ways to contribute here, if at all. I know at least one other reviewer has expressed a similar view. : I believe this quality–output tension is a central factor behind the SPTF’s recommendation to close Wikinews. I understand the logic behind that recommendation: we have not yet demonstrated that a citizen journalism model can reliably and consistently sustain high output, high quality, and a meaningful wiki process all at the same time.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (<sup>[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]</sub>) 16:04, 20 March 2026 (UTC) ::If there is a problem regarding the quality of my contributions to this project, then nobody has said anything about that to me whatsoever.

I’m not referring to you or anyone else ''specifically''. There appears to be some preference, broadly speaking, for getting articles published once they are “good enough,” even if not every statement has been explicitly checked against a source or clearly attributed, with the expectation that the wiki process can refine things later. ::: On the other hand, our existing policies and guidelines lean toward a stricter approach, where each statement is expected to be supported or removed before publication.

This could help clear out the queue from the old end. I picked number 8 because usually an article does not get published about events over seven days old; I may be deluded there so please adjust the number of days as needed. Alternatively, the "review" template could change to "abandoned" after 7 days. I am suggesting to get this decided and implemented some time soon. It would reduce the load on reviewers and sysops, in my opinion. Something similar was done for another template before, but I do not remember which. -- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 08:59, 24 March 2026 (UTC) == Improving review visibility and collaboration for draft articles == I propose increasing visibility and collaboration around drafts and their talk pages so more users can contribute to review and copyediting. That could help authors who aren’t keeping up with reviewer requests and would be more like a scientific journal process where at least two people check a page before publication. Since the software supports pre-reviews, we could encourage everyone to pre-review more broadly. Proposed actions: 1. Add a friendly site notice inviting users to join a “newsroom” and review at least one article per day. Link to a Newsroom guide explaining categories: Drafts = need pre-review, expand, submit for review Queue = possibly ready; check carefully and flag issues Disputed = issues found; fix and resubmit That page like [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] but a mini-version: with only one paragraph intro linking to key policies; three lists (draft, review, disputed) one paragraph before each; one list (published in last three days) also one para explaining process of improving or cross checking those. That could be more user friendly for newbies than the current "everything and a kitchen sink" current version. 2. On submission, automatically leave the user a message with a request to pre-review at least two pages from the Newsroom, again linking to its over simplified version, perhaps even transcluding it to the user's talk page (via subst, so only then-current version is included in the message) as then they do not need to open the Newsroom link to see the topics being written about in the new drafts. These steps should speed feedback to authors and surface more issues before publishing, and bring more hands to fix them. Hope this is helpful. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:10, 27 March 2026 (UTC) 3.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 12:32, 27 March 2026 (UTC) == Online workshop for training new reviewers == Hello everyone, to help increase the number of active reviewers on English Wikinews and support interested contributors in understanding the review process, I would like to propose organizing a structured, documentation-based online workshop. Given that live video sessions may not be feasible for many participants, this workshop would primarily be text-based and hosted on-wiki (with optional use of chat platforms for discussion). However, if any experienced reviewer is interested in contributing via a presentation or live session, that would certainly be welcome. The workshop would be divided into 4-5 sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reviewing process. These may include: * Introduction to the role and responsibilities of a reviewer * Core review criteria (newsworthiness, neutrality, verifiability, freshness, copyvio) * Source verification and common issues in articles * The review workflow (from submission to publication) * Post-publication review and maintenance Each section would include short explanatory materials (text, slides, or diagrams), followed by practical tasks. These tasks could include answering questions, identifying issues in sample articles, or performing a simulated review. Participants who complete the workshop should gain a clearer understanding of how reviewing works in practice. Rather than replacing the existing reviewer nomination process, the workshop could serve as a preparation pathway, helping participants build the skills and confidence needed before being nominated. Additionally, participants who demonstrate strong understanding during the workshop could be encouraged or mentored further as potential reviewer candidates. To keep the workshop effective, participation may be limited to a small group. We would likely need at least 2-3 experienced reviewers to help guide discussions, review responses, and provide feedback. I would be happy to help prepare materials such as slides, flowcharts, and example articles. I would appreciate the community's thoughts on this idea: Would such a workshop be useful? Would any reviewers be interested in helping organize or mentor participants? Are there improvements or alternative approaches we should consider?

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

Solving vandalism or 'hey lets change this because thats how i did it somewhere else and i thought that is good here' or 'i am confused' issues is a sysop job (ignoring that sysops have huge backlog because I am here and I don't even know that these tasks exist, but still. sysop handle mitigations of abuse and approvals of legit edits, in my view.

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

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

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

That could help authors who aren’t keeping up with reviewer requests and would be more like a scientific journal process where at least two people check a page before publication. Since the software supports pre-reviews, we could encourage everyone to pre-review more broadly. Proposed actions: 1. Add a friendly site notice inviting users to join a “newsroom” and review at least one article per day. Link to a Newsroom guide explaining categories: Drafts = need pre-review, expand, submit for review Queue = possibly ready; check carefully and flag issues Disputed = issues found; fix and resubmit That page like [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] but a mini-version: with only one paragraph intro linking to key policies; three lists (draft, review, disputed) one paragraph before each; one list (published in last three days) also one para explaining process of improving or cross checking those. That could be more user friendly for newbies than the current "everything and a kitchen sink" current version. 2. On submission, automatically leave the user a message with a request to pre-review at least two pages from the Newsroom, again linking to its over simplified version, perhaps even transcluding it to the user's talk page (via subst, so only then-current version is included in the message) as then they do not need to open the Newsroom link to see the topics being written about in the new drafts. These steps should speed feedback to authors and surface more issues before publishing, and bring more hands to fix them. Hope this is helpful.

Given that live video sessions may not be feasible for many participants, this workshop would primarily be text-based and hosted on-wiki (with optional use of chat platforms for discussion). However, if any experienced reviewer is interested in contributing via a presentation or live session, that would certainly be welcome. The workshop would be divided into 4-5 sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reviewing process. These may include: * Introduction to the role and responsibilities of a reviewer * Core review criteria (newsworthiness, neutrality, verifiability, freshness, copyvio) * Source verification and common issues in articles * The review workflow (from submission to publication) * Post-publication review and maintenance Each section would include short explanatory materials (text, slides, or diagrams), followed by practical tasks. These tasks could include answering questions, identifying issues in sample articles, or performing a simulated review. Participants who complete the workshop should gain a clearer understanding of how reviewing works in practice. Rather than replacing the existing reviewer nomination process, the workshop could serve as a preparation pathway, helping participants build the skills and confidence needed before being nominated. Additionally, participants who demonstrate strong understanding during the workshop could be encouraged or mentored further as potential reviewer candidates. To keep the workshop effective, participation may be limited to a small group. We would likely need at least 2-3 experienced reviewers to help guide discussions, review responses, and provide feedback. I would be happy to help prepare materials such as slides, flowcharts, and example articles. I would appreciate the community's thoughts on this idea: Would such a workshop be useful? Would any reviewers be interested in helping organize or mentor participants? Are there improvements or alternative approaches we should consider?

This was surprising, so I checked and apparently there are 2978k pages, and 2765k of them are user talk pages created by [[User:Wikinews Welcome]]. And it keeps creating them. I was shocked to learn that English Wikinews sends a welcome message to every user ever. Now I'm not part of the local community, but I do think that it would be in the interest of Wikinews as a whole (even in read-only state) to trim the fat as much as possible. Thus my suggestions are 1) that [[:meta:Welcoming policy]] be adopted and 2) that all pages which don't follow this policy be deleted (that is, if a user didn't create their account here, never made an edit here, and their talk page was never used by anyone else, it's up for deletion). In my estimation, about 100k user talk pages will remain if this is done. I imagine that the technical staff (like @[[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]]) would be interested in having this go through.

It appears likely that he is a churchgoer, insofar as he is a Catholic saint and a former bishop. It has to be assumed here that Claus was released from his vows, or else he would not have been married. Frequent arguments have erupted over the political affiliation of Claus. Ten years ago, [[Uncyclopedia:Dick Cheney|Dick Cheney]] inadvertently dealt a savage blow to the morale of the Republican Party when he misidentified the political affiliation of Santa Claus in his best-selling book, Parliament of Whores. "Santa Claus," he said, "is a Democrat." However it is perfectly obvious from his demographic profile alone that Santa is in fact a Republican. This assessment is often rebutted by Democrats with Anne-McCaffery counter-analysis: Santa Claus has no children. High-achieving professionals without children trend Democratic. While the Clausian canon does not specifically address the issue of Santa's children, numerous extra-canonical sources suggest that Claus did, in fact, reproduce. Numerous Christmas TV movie specials alone support this point. Santa is renowned for an aggressive adherence to a binary naughty/nice list, which suggests an impatience for nuanced moral positions that betrays his Republican preferences. Santa's mere willingness to define individuals along a naughty/nice axis demonstrates his indifference to the philosophical stance of, say, The New York Times. And note that no canonical or extra-canonical Clausian text indicates that Santa ever attended college or, God forbid, graduate school.

It appears likely that he is a churchgoer, insofar as he is a Catholic saint and a former bishop. It has to be assumed here that Claus was released from his vows, or else he would not have been married. Frequent arguments have erupted over the political affiliation of Claus. Ten years ago, [[Uncyclopedia:Dick Cheney|Dick Cheney]] inadvertently dealt a savage blow to the morale of the Republican Party when he misidentified the political affiliation of Santa Claus in his best-selling book, Parliament of Whores. "Santa Claus," he said, "is a Democrat." However it is perfectly obvious from his demographic profile alone that Santa is in fact a Republican. This assessment is often rebutted by Democrats with Anne-McCaffery counter-analysis: Santa Claus has no children. High-achieving professionals without children trend Democratic. While the Clausian canon does not specifically address the issue of Santa's children, numerous extra-canonical sources suggest that Claus did, in fact, reproduce. Numerous Christmas TV movie specials alone support this point. Santa is renowned for an aggressive adherence to a binary naughty/nice list, which suggests an impatience for nuanced moral positions that betrays his Republican preferences. Santa's mere willingness to define individuals along a naughty/nice axis demonstrates his indifference to the philosophical stance of, say, The New York Times. And note that no canonical or extra-canonical Clausian text indicates that Santa ever attended college or, God forbid, graduate school.

It appears likely that he is a churchgoer, insofar as he is a Catholic saint and a former bishop. It has to be assumed here that Claus was released from his vows, or else he would not have been married. Frequent arguments have erupted over the political affiliation of Claus. Ten years ago, [[Uncyclopedia:Dick Cheney|Dick Cheney]] inadvertently dealt a savage blow to the morale of the Republican Party when he misidentified the political affiliation of Santa Claus in his best-selling book, Parliament of Whores. "Santa Claus," he said, "is a Democrat." However it is perfectly obvious from his demographic profile alone that Santa is in fact a Republican. This assessment is often rebutted by Democrats with Anne-McCaffery counter-analysis: Santa Claus has no children. High-achieving professionals without children trend Democratic. While the Clausian canon does not specifically address the issue of Santa's children, numerous extra-canonical sources suggest that Claus did, in fact, reproduce. Numerous Christmas TV movie specials alone support this point. Santa is renowned for an aggressive adherence to a binary naughty/nice list, which suggests an impatience for nuanced moral positions that betrays his Republican preferences. Santa's mere willingness to define individuals along a naughty/nice axis demonstrates his indifference to the philosophical stance of, say, The New York Times. And note that no canonical or extra-canonical Clausian text indicates that Santa ever attended college or, God forbid, graduate school.

It appears likely that he is a churchgoer, insofar as he is a Catholic saint and a former bishop. It has to be assumed here that Claus was released from his vows, or else he would not have been married. Frequent arguments have erupted over the political affiliation of Claus. Ten years ago, [[Uncyclopedia:Dick Cheney|Dick Cheney]] inadvertently dealt a savage blow to the morale of the Republican Party when he misidentified the political affiliation of Santa Claus in his best-selling book, Parliament of Whores. "Santa Claus," he said, "is a Democrat." However it is perfectly obvious from his demographic profile alone that Santa is in fact a Republican. This assessment is often rebutted by Democrats with Anne-McCaffery counter-analysis: Santa Claus has no children. High-achieving professionals without children trend Democratic. While the Clausian canon does not specifically address the issue of Santa's children, numerous extra-canonical sources suggest that Claus did, in fact, reproduce. Numerous Christmas TV movie specials alone support this point. Santa is renowned for an aggressive adherence to a binary naughty/nice list, which suggests an impatience for nuanced moral positions that betrays his Republican preferences. Santa's mere willingness to define individuals along a naughty/nice axis demonstrates his indifference to the philosophical stance of, say, The New York Times. And note that no canonical or extra-canonical Clausian text indicates that Santa ever attended college or, God forbid, graduate school.

Of course we do allow constructive yet aggresive comments... For example, [[:es:Discusión:Una corte en Arabia Saudita condena a una mujer violada a seis meses de prisión/Comentarios|here]] there is a quite tough comment. The article is about a woman in Saudi Arabia who was sentenced to prison (six months) and to be 'whipped' (hit with a whip, dunno if 'to whip' exists) because she was raped... And, mainly, the message is not anti-religious, but it does criticize islam as a whole because of this culture of punishing woman if they are raped (that is, even though it's against their will). But well, maybe the policy could be needed in the long run... The comments says: ::::{{cquote|Barbarians... cruel... irracionals and, at last, unhuman. Is it this what the Coran teaches?

Personally based on how organisations like the BBC give certain reporters the leeway to do first-person pieces, I believe this can work, but requires a degree of professionalism from the journalist in question.

If, technically, we were to "religiously" enforce NPOV we wouldn't have any interviews, this could perhaps be viewed as David "interviewing himself" after each day's exposure to the various media and other influences his hosts want him to cover. I think his first article does a good job of highlighting that and introducing a series of pieces. ::I'd say give this time to develop and perhaps give some thought to the introductory disclaimer for the articles. David isn't going to be talking to ordinary people in the street and he can - as already shown - see where his hosts want to direct his reporting.

I wonder if we should just use a bot to <nowiki>{{archive}}</nowiki> the older ones and leave them as is, or continue the manual work with editing/formatting etc...? I have to admit I am running out of steam for archiving and might have to break from it for a while - focus on writing. --[[User:Jcart1534|Jcart1534]] 14:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC) :::Brain fart! Why don't we create {{tl|archive pending review}}, an associated category and zap all the old stuff with that using a bot? I'd love to see us get more people involved in archiving and not see it as such an insurmountable task... take on a week, and on the Sunday write the opening couple of questions for the weekend quiz. Don't know if you follow wikinews-l, but I'm trying to see where we can adopt more encouraging options for people who might not be bold enough to start an article but will copyedit and such. With the new bot over on WP that might take off and spread. --[[User:Brianmc|''Brian McNeil'']] / <sup>[[User talk:Brianmc|''talk'']]</sup> 15:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC) ::::Well, I'm with you on that. Anything that could take care of the old ones would be a big help. I actually don't mind archiving. I find it relaxing, but I think there are just too many old ones to do. As we aim for a more formal editorial approval system (with an eye on Google news) the archival process will be an integral part of that. I did sign up for wikinews-l about a week ago or so. I like your idea of trying to encourage more Wikipedians to migrate. With a higher body count here, the routine maintenance tasks could be diluted out over more editors.

I am sorry, but my stable version implementation is "just" a proof of concept, mainly written with JavaScript. It works perfectly if you have enabled JavaScript, but if not there is only a note down in the footer. I just wanted to show how easy it is to do something like that (Done within a couple of hours! Ok, plus a couple of hours for "stress" testing ;-). Unfortunately, the "official" stable version feature still isn't there, yet! What a shame! Honestly I do not recommend you my JavaScript version, as it is based on a not yet transformed MediaWiki message (footer). But the developers will eventually restrict that feature (to wiki syntax and for cache reasons), I'm afraid!<br />But '''what you want to be implemented for Wikinews''' is possible. But it would be more effort for you! PageA would be a stable/protected one for IPs, PageB would be the editable one (a sysop e.g. would declare an article as stable (some kind of move, done automatically; but would be shown in RC). But if the "official" stable version feature (with db tags) should come the next months??? the work to be done has been wasted!? If the whole Wikinews community is interested in *not* waiting any longer and in being *first*, we could do it!

Presumably physical harm towards me would be okay if we have a poll on Wikinews and consensus emerges in support. Let's not be daft Brian, consensus is great but it can't always be the primary factor in deciding what it is we do. As a WMF project we have certain rules to follow, and whilst we can express our opinions of these in the hope of them being changed, we cannot pick and choose which we want to obey where they are still in place. I'm sure if you asked the British public whether to abolish all taxes that you'd find consensus in favour but it simply isn't going to happen because these things aren't dreamt up to irritate people, they have good reasoning.

I have the closed DR in front of me right now, and I see '''''nothing''''' which lists the impacted images, so you're wrong there. There's not even a link to a category that previously listed the images, and this was inappropriately closed after a week which - if I recall correctly - should only be the case for articles in the main namespace. --[[User:Brianmc|''Brian McNeil'']] / <sup>[[User talk:Brianmc|''talk'']]</sup> 14:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC) ::::::I closed it because they had all been deleted so there was no point in continuing with it. --[[User:Anonymous101|Anonymous101]] ([[User talk:Anonymous101|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Anonymous101|contribs]]) 15:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC) :*It is - to a large extent - more concerning that all the images were deleted without due process than the fact that you closed the DR. As I have said to Adambro in a number of locations, please keep this within the discussion on the Water Cooler.

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.

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 "don't get married to your article", 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.

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.

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.

[[User:Justthefacts|Justthefacts]] ([[User talk:Justthefacts|talk]]) 21:10, 30 March 2026 (UTC) :::The project is being closed due to low user engagement. The "current events" 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.

Attendees filled the store. ''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 "A Bird in Igor's Yard". 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&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 "Blue Rondo à la 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 {{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, "I don't want to tour. I want to start my own band and I want to do my own thing." And Miles begs him, please go on tour. So he goes on tour for 60. After he does that tour, he starts his own quartet. And his own quartet's {{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 "{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}" 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 "{{w|Trouble Every Day (song)|Trouble Every Day}}". 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, "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." 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. == Gallery == {{Gallery |width=600 |File:Dmg20260324x 01.png|Benedict and Lee{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} |File:Dmg20260324x 16.png|Sheffer and Hertlein{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} |File:Dmg20260324x_26.png|Fort, Choi, and Camerin{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} |File:Dmg20260324x_02.png|Kitamura and the audience{{image source|[[commons:User:Tduk|Alex Lozupone (Wikimedia Commons)]]}} }} {{Sisters|commons|Category:20260324 Downtown Music Gallery}} == Sources == {{Original reporting}} *{{source |url = https://avantmusicnews.com/2026/03/08/coming-to-downtown-music-gallery-94/ |title = Coming to Downtown Music Gallery |author = Mike |pub = Avant Music News |date = March 8, 2026 |brokenURL = }} [[Category:New York, New York]] [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:New York]] re5y6yoyy8drd4d0q81u7cvucrcg9es Wikimedia Foundation closes Wikinews after 21 years 0 3088290 5024226 5023793 2026-05-03T05:35:14Z Metropolitan90 314212 nb no longer needed 5024226 wikitext text/x-wiki {{review}} {{WikimediaMention}} [[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.

The future of ''Wikinews'' was raised for consideration in June, with a Wikimedia Foundation task force recommending the project's closure,{{verify|source1=https://thedesk.net/2025/07/wikimedia-foundation-closing-wikinews/|source2=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Public_consultation_about_Wikinews}} followed by [[meta:Public consultation about Wikinews|a period of public consultation about Wikinews]]. After this process, the Board announced in March that the 31 active editions of ''Wikinews'' would be placed in read-only mode indefinitely. In the announcement message, trustee [[meta:User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]] said, "We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement. We understand that some of them may be disappointed by this decision.

For the first 24 hours after its publication, changes that effect the content are allowed (as long as they don't do something truly drastic, like changing the focus); so any details in your article that aren't in the other could be submitted as edits to the published article. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 18:42, 12 May 2016 (UTC) == [[Obama creates first marine national monument in Atlantic Ocean]] == Hi.

Similarly, there should be some way of prioritizing the review of articles in which their freshness is jeopardized so that the reviewers first review those articles; it's quite disheartening that your effort goes to waste because the reviewer could not review your article in time, which is why I usually dedicate more time to other Wikinews that have few users and news created, and generally here I bring news which I consider important and should be here. —[[User:AlvaroMolina|<font color="#1406D0">'''Alvaro Molina'''</font>]] ([[User Talk:AlvaroMolina|<font color="#137500">'''✉'''</font>]] - [[Special:Contributions/AlvaroMolina|<font color="#137500">✔</font>]]) 18:11, 19 April 2017 (UTC) ::::: When stuff gets lost, it's quite disheartening to ''me'' as a reviewer, too. It isn't nearly as simple as prioritizing articles about to lose freshness, though; I used to think that way too, and then I had this Awful Realization: I review frankly as much as I can as fast as I can, and it's guaranteed we'll never keep up with the demand for review, because whenever our review capacity increases, after a time delay, the demand increases until it's higher than the supply. Given that we're always going to lose some things, if reviewers always review off the old end of the review queue, that will ''maximize how old our published news is''. Reviewing off the young end of the review queue will ''maximize how fresh our published news is''. If we're really going to have time to review everything, but one thing might go stale before we get to it unless we do it first, then we should do it first. There are also other reasons we might prefer an article even though it's older. But it turns out to be not such a good idea after all to automatically work from the older end of the queue. <p> All the same, I really am sorry we missed on this article. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 18:22, 19 April 2017 (UTC) ::::::{{Ping|Pi zero}} Well, after all the goal is to deliver the most relevant news to the reader and not an article that already has more than 2 days old. —[[User:AlvaroMolina|<font color="#1406D0">'''Alvaro Molina'''</font>]] ([[User Talk:AlvaroMolina|<font color="#137500">'''✉'''</font>]] - [[Special:Contributions/AlvaroMolina|<font color="#137500">✔</font>]]) 18:30, 19 April 2017 (UTC) == Petya virus == I was frustrated to realize the Petya article probably couldn't be run without updating (but even so I hadn't gotten to double-checking about that; truthfully things have not gone well for me the past couple of days).

They have to assume that 2 days of freshness is an excessively high requirement for a project with few active reviewers (if this were done in other Wikinews as in the Spanish version, 100% of the articles would be lost), there have been times when The review queue has reached 40 articles.

Sometimes hyphen or slash is also explicitly allowed. My intent was, evidently, to exclude all other printable ASCII characters &mdash; various brackets and punctuation marks and whatnot. Unfortunately it also excludes all non-whitespace non-ASCII characters. Afaict javascript regexp syntax doesn't provide any convenient way to specific ''unicode'' word characters. Do you know of a conventional, or convenient, way to deal with this sort of regexp?
