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

I've tried to do more on non-Wikipedia projects over the past two years and although I may not be as familiar with the norms at en.wn, I don't think reviewer is too much to ask considering my history here and elsewhere on WMF projects. If you do, that's fair.

But considering what I'd said in the comments section over on your request, the 'general' flow here goes: Newbie, Reporter, Accredited Reporter, Reviewer (aka 'Editor'), Administrator (and a few beyond that -- but those cross into inter-wiki roles). Now, what I just said is not canonical by any means! But reviewers spend a lot of time here reading, re-reading, proof'ing and taking action on article submissions (again, functioning as a news editor). It's not a glory-filled job...I can assure you!! I have no questions about your roles/contributions across the span of WMF, but 'Reviewer' means something REAL SPECIFIC here in these parts. So, if you REALLY WANT to, you're welcome to lurk here for a while, doing some plain-old copy edits and what-not (user Pi Zero has even taken action to make a lot of those mundane things a bit easier of-late). From there, we'll see where things can go. If others think your congealed meta-role qualifies you to be a reviewer here, then I'm willing to listen, but as user Blood Red Sandman pointed out, taking that route worked out badly in the past. We've seen (in the past) that users who come here, puffed up, looking for some badge-of-honor before proving themselves tend to create more problems than they fix and then run away mad. (I'm not accusing you of being one of those people, heck, ''I don't know you''); but God's-honest humility is the order-of-the-day around here if things are to succeed. --[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 17:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC) :::Not sure I'd go quite as far as to say it's normal to get Accredited Reporter before Reviewer, but it's certainly known. Accredited Reporter is based entirely on trust, so a user with little track record on ''Wikinews'' can get it if they're trusted by the community (although it's most common for users to do some writing first, then apply). For reviewer, it's not as high-trust. Trust is an element, of course, but reviewer is about competence with ''Wikinews'' policies and processes. I'm not aware of any other priv on any wiki where competence is required to be demonstrated in quite the way it is for reviewer. Write a couple of articles a week for, say, a month and the community will likely be tripping over itself to hand you reviewer.

Just wanted to explain a bit why I rv'd your seemingly perfectly reasonable edit on the image. I don't particularly dispute the point about it being ineligible for copyright. The thing is, though, there's a long and tragic history of Commons dissing Wikinews by deleting stuff (with neither warning nor notification) we are using and cannot replace, but which we could almost always upload locally under fair use if we knew it was about to happen. There's probably... usually... no malice at all involved, either, but one can't help thinking if Commons cared to it could easily set up an infrastructure to check whether a pending deletion would cause problems for a sister project that allows local uploads, and either notify them or even automatically do a local upload with some sort of copyright-justification-needed-within-x-amount-of-time tag. The worst incident I've seen was a Wikinews article we published with an image that had been sitting happily on Commons for something like six or seven years, and then a little more than a day after we published our article, while it was the number one lead on our main page so that this image was the single most prominent image displayed on our entire site, Commons deleted it. The icing on the cake was, this was just '''after''' the article was more than 24 hours post-publication, so that our archive policy had kicked in (the reason we can't replace most images that get deleted out from under us).

But considering what I'd said in the comments section over on your request, the 'general' flow here goes: Newbie, Reporter, Accredited Reporter, Reviewer (aka 'Editor'), Administrator (and a few beyond that -- but those cross into inter-wiki roles). Now, what I just said is not canonical by any means! But reviewers spend a lot of time here reading, re-reading, proof'ing and taking action on article submissions (again, functioning as a news editor). It's not a glory-filled job...I can assure you!! I have no questions about your roles/contributions across the span of WMF, but 'Reviewer' means something REAL SPECIFIC here in these parts. So, if you REALLY WANT to, you're welcome to lurk here for a while, doing some plain-old copy edits and what-not (user Pi Zero has even taken action to make a lot of those mundane things a bit easier of-late). From there, we'll see where things can go. If others think your congealed meta-role qualifies you to be a reviewer here, then I'm willing to listen, but as user Blood Red Sandman pointed out, taking that route worked out badly in the past. We've seen (in the past) that users who come here, puffed up, looking for some badge-of-honor before proving themselves tend to create more problems than they fix and then run away mad.

Accredited Reporter is based entirely on trust, so a user with little track record on ''Wikinews'' can get it if they're trusted by the community (although it's most common for users to do some writing first, then apply). For reviewer, it's not as high-trust. Trust is an element, of course, but reviewer is about competence with ''Wikinews'' policies and processes. I'm not aware of any other priv on any wiki where competence is required to be demonstrated in quite the way it is for reviewer. Write a couple of articles a week for, say, a month and the community will likely be tripping over itself to hand you reviewer.

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.

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.

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.

This means phrases can be marked by a reviewer to highlight issues without actually editing the article. Phrases that have been marked will appear highlighted in yellow. Non-reviewers can view them, but they will not be able to edit or remove the attached comments or markings. However, users can mark a specific highlight as "resolved". This gadget allows users to quickly identify the exact text in an article that needs modification or changes. Reviewers using the EzPR2025 gadget for review will find the "Dynamic Marking" feature integrated into it. However, the tool can also be used independently of EzPR2025.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. [[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.

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]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 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 submit my articles in the best shape possible and I still feel like I have to make a scene just to get someone to even look at my submissions.

I’m not referring to you or anyone else ''specifically''.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. [[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.

Rather, where text is written by humans, humans are much less likely to generate hallucinations, and much more likely to follow guidelines for writing articles. AI assisted content doesn't know Wikinews guidelines, and even if it were provided with them, it would still be likely to hallucinate; ::The proposals in this thread have included: ::* Temporarily banning AI usage for writing of text in Wikinews articles - which I tend to agree with, though I would prefer a constructive discussion on positive and negative examples of AI generated contributions to Wikinews; ::* Removing reviewer duties from people who have missed AI hallucinations in articles they have published - which I absolutely disagree with. We need more people in Wikinews, not less. ::I would like to add the following proposals: ::* Possibly, add a tool to detect AI hallucinations - numbers (10 or ten or dozens - format doesn't matter), places, people which are not mentioned in the sources; ::* Or even better, write a Wikinews-specific (AI-powered? I don't like AI, but if you do, go ahead, contribute to development and testing) tool to generate text based on the provided links to sources; ::* Remember that having duties of being a reviewer doesn't deprive you of rights of being an editor.

Alternatively, the "review" template could change to "abandoned" after 7 days. I am suggesting to get this decided and implemented some time soon.

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?

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).

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.

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.

Doesn't answer my question how to handle users who repeatedly insert same kind of issues into articles. That is not even always visible as the review feedback of failed articles gets deleted along with their talk page. I try to at least post a copy of it onto talk page via 'custom message' feature of ezpr2. Make that an official policy, would you? I'm sure you would be interested in this as it would allow to keep track of issues in articles submitted by that user in one spot, and provide a path towards figuring out why they happen and how to solve them, and improve 'article quality'. ::::3. And the same could go to posting feedback to a reviewer's talk page about post-publish retractions etc. I believe I didn't even ''get'' a talk page message about that retraction request; yet I did get an insinuation here. The note that a particular reviewer is being dodgy sits in your mind and doesn't sit on their talk page. I think that's inefficient.

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.

This means phrases can be marked by a reviewer to highlight issues without actually editing the article. Phrases that have been marked will appear highlighted in yellow. Non-reviewers can view them, but they will not be able to edit or remove the attached comments or markings. However, users can mark a specific highlight as "resolved". This gadget allows users to quickly identify the exact text in an article that needs modification or changes. Reviewers using the EzPR2025 gadget for review will find the "Dynamic Marking" feature integrated into it. However, the tool can also be used independently of EzPR2025.

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?

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.

This is useful in articles where you are short on images and want to add some sort of graphic, or you just want to set off an important or interesting quote away from the main text. As a stylistic device, the quoted text is ''italicized'' in the box by default, so you don't need to put quote marks (" ") around the quoted text; the italics do the work of quote marks in this context. (Should you want to defeat any part of the default italics in the quote, put two apostrophes on each side of the quoted text you do not want italicized, <nowiki>''like this''</nowiki>.) You can pick how wide you want the box (as px or a percentage), and how to align it (center, right, left). The parameters are: <pre> {{Quote_box| width= |align= |quote= |source= |}} </pre> For example, entering the following: <pre> {{Quote_box| width=45% |align=right |quote=Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war. |source=[[William Shakespeare]], ''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', Act III, Scene I. |}} </pre> Produces this: {{Quote_box| width=45% |align=right |quote=Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war. |source=[[w:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]], ''[[w:Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', Act III, Scene I. |}} [[Category:Article templates|Quotebox]] [[Category:Quotation templates|Quotebox]] </noinclude> gqkf0sd8ittch6bk04k6r1kielx428w 4 40675 5024857 5021084 2026-05-04T09:53:15Z Acagastya 1526439 Undid revision [[Special:Diff/5021084|5021084]] by [[Special:Contributions/Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] ([[User talk:Michael.C.Wright|talk]]) enwn has maintained iwls to prevent reliance on external projects for the links, which also saves us from vandalism 5024857 wikitext text/x-wiki {{xambox|type=serious|text=If you need admin assistance, please leave a note at '''[[Wikinews:Admin action alerts]]'''.}} {{Policy|[[WN:A]]}} {{Policy nav1}} This page is a list of administrators (sometimes called admins or sysops).

Congratulations on getting {{#if:{{{1|}}}|[[{{{1}}}]]|Your article}} up to a publishable standard. It has passed peer review and been published on ''Wikinews'', and should now appear on the [[Main Page]]. Thanks for your contributions, and I hope you stick around to write many more good articles in the future[[Template:Congrats|.]] ~<includeonly>~~</includeonly>~<noinclude> ---- This template takes two unnamed parameters. The first '''should''' always be present, and is the name of the article without a link. The second '''may''' be included, and is the name of the contributor. It defaults to the page name. This template '''must''' always be substituted. Place <code><nowiki>{{subst:Congrats|<article name>}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{subst:Congrats|<article name>|<contributor's name>}}</nowiki></code> on the talk page(s) of the primary contributor(s) of an article that you publish, just to give them a bit of recognition for their efforts. It's probably best to only use it the first time, since it would get slightly repetitive and lose meaning if they got it all the time. The template self-signs and includes a header, so '''must not''' be used in conjunction with a header or signature. This behaviour can be changed in future if required. Usage of this template can be tracked using [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] due to a barely visible link back to this page hidden in the template.<noinclude>[[Category:Wikinews templates]]</noinclude>

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.

This was the fifth UEFA Super cup won by Barcelona. Barcelona had stronger possession of the ball in front of Sevilla. The match saw nine {{w|yellow card (association football)|yellow cards}}, four for Barcelona players and five for Sevilla players. A total of 41 fouls were committed in the match. A total of nine goals were scored in the match, with the first goal scored in the opening minutes of the game. Barcelona defender {{w|Javier Mascherano|Mascherano}} committed a foul in the 2^nd minute and thus Sevilla got a free kick. {{w|Éver Banega|Banega}} converted the free kick into goal in the 3^rd minute of the game. Minutes later, Sevilla's [[Grzegorz Krychowiak|Krychowiak]] committed a foul and this early lead was soon equalised as Barcelona forward [[Lionel Messi]] scored a similar style free kick. Krychowiak received a yellow card in the 14^th minute and Barca were awarded another free kick for Banega's foul on [[Ivan Rakitić|Rakitić]]. Leo Messi converted this free kick into a goal, giving the lead to Barcelona after 16 minutes of game play. This was Messi's 36^th goal in 37 games in 2015. Minutes before half time, [[Luis Suárez]] assisted {{w|Rafinha (footballer, born 1993)|Rafinha}} and the [[Brazil|Brazilian]] tripled the lead for the Catalans. First half ended with scoreline 3&ndash;1 with only one booking. Within ten minutes of the second half, Suárez scored the fourth goal in the 52^nd making it a one-sided match. Five minutes later, {{w|José Antonio Reyes|Reyes}} scored a close ranged shot making the score 4&ndash;2. In the 63^rd minute, [[Andrés Iniesta]] was substituted off for [[Sergi Roberto]]. Iniesta made his 550^th appearance for Barcelona. After this substitution, the goal difference kept on dropping. In the 71^st minute, {{w|Jérémy Mathieu|Mathieu}} was booked for a foul on {{w|Vitolo (footballer, born 1989)|Vitolo}}. Referee awarded a penalty kick for Sevilla. {{w|Kévin Gameiro|Gameiro}} perfectly converted it into a goal making it 4&ndash;3. Within the next ten minutes, Sevilla equalised with Barcelona. {{w|Yevhen Konoplyanka|Konoplyanka}} scored an easy tap-in to bring Sevilla from 4&ndash;1 to 4&ndash;4. Within half an hour, the one-sided match changed into a tensed match. {{w|Coke (footballer)|Coke}} in the 87^th minute and Banega in the 90+2 minute were booked for committing foul on Suárez. The game ended in 4&ndash;4. And thus it was extended to additional time. Additional time saw five more yellow cards. Pedro was substituted in for Mascherano in the 93^rd minute and in the next minute, he received a yellow card for foul on Vitolo. Barcelona won a free kick in the dying minutes of the game. Messi's kick became an indirect assist to Pedro who netted it in the top corner. It was the winning goal of the game. This was Pedro's 99^th goal in the Catalonia jersey. By this victory, Barcelona joined [[A.C. Milan]] as the most successful club. Both the teams have earned the title five times. This trophy was Messi's and Iniesta's 25^th trophy with Barcelona. Messi was awarded Man of the match. After the match, he said, "We are delighted to start the season with this win, but it was tough [...] The most important thing was to win the Super Cup to start well. Now we think of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Club". On Tuesday, Pedro was asked if he was leaving Barcelona. He replied "The answer is no. But it is a difficult, complicated situation. When you know you may leave it is difficult." Pedro said it wan't about money but the playing time. Pedro said "The truth is that I had a good chance to play. The coach has decided not to count on me. I don't know, I don't know if I will continue here [...] Manchester? Yes, there are nice challenges on all sides. Today I'm here, and I'm happy [...] And if I go, I will go with my head held high having always given everything." {{haveyoursay}} {{clear}} ---- {{footballbox |date=August 11, 2015<br>{{w|Time in

Modrich|Paul Modrich}} and {{w|Aziz Sancar}} showed how damaged {{w|DNA}} is repaired and [[genetics|genetic information]] is safeguarded by the cells at the {{w|molecule|molecular}} level. [[Sweden|Swedish]] scientist Tomas Lindahl found that DNA molecules decay too quickly for life, or evolution, to be sustainable. This led to the discovery of {{w|base excision repair}}, a cellular mechanism that repairs damaged DNA by removing erroneous sections and replacing them. [[Turkey|Turkish]] {{w|molecular biology|molecular biologist}} Aziz Sancar mapped {{w|nucleotide excision repair}}, a DNA repair mechanism that targets larger-scale damage caused by {{w|mutagen|mutagens}} and {{w|ultraviolet radiation}}. [[US]] professor of {{w|biochemistry}} Paul Modrich showed how errors caused during {{w|DNA replication}} are usually<!--unclear it's the ONLY way this happens; could be--> rectified. {{w|DNA mismatch repair}} increases the precision of DNA replication when {{w|cell (biology)|cells}} divide. The prize is shared 1/3^rd to each scientist. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{Wikinews|title=2006 Nobel Prize in chemistry for insight into cells|date=October 4, 2006}} == Sources == *{{source|url=http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2015/announcement.html |title=The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015 - Prize Announcement |author= |pub=Nobel Media |date=October 8, 2015 (date of access) }} *{{source |url=http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2015/ |title=The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015 - Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich, Aziz Sancar |author= |pub=Nobel Media |date=October 8, 2015 }} *{{source|url=http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2015/press.html |title=The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015 - Press Release |author= |pub=Nobel Media |date=October 7, 2015 }} *{{source|url=http://www.wired.com/2015/10/dna-repair-mechanisms-get-nobel-prize-chemistry/?mbid=social_twitter |title=DNA Repair Discoveries Get the Nobel Prize in Chemistry |author=Katie M.

He said he will not participate in the [[2016 Summer Olympics]] in [[Brazil]] in August. [[File:Russia-Sweden 2015 (18).jpg|left|thumb|File photo of Zlatan Ibrahimović{{image|Евгений Сойкин}}]] Speaking to the media before yesterday's final Group E match against [[Belgium]], 34-year-old forward Ibrahimović said, {{translated quote|sv|Swedish language|Sista matchen för Sverige i EM blir min sista match för Sverige. Jag hoppas inte att det blir i morgon|The last game at the Euros will be my last game for Sweden, so I hope it won't be tomorrow}}. He added "I won't participate in the Olympics, because my last game will be the last game Sweden does in this EURO. So let's hope it goes as long as possible. To finish in a disappointment: never!" Since his international debut in 2001, Ibrahimović has made 116 appearances for Sweden and scored 62 goals, a national record. In this year's EURO competition, Sweden have lost to [[Italy]], drawn against the [[Republic of Ireland]], and lost their final game against Belgium, scoring only once through an Irish own goal. According to the {{w|Swedish Football Association}}, {{w|Kim Källström}} and {{w|Andreas Isaksson}} will also end their international careers after the Euro campaign. Losing 0–1 to Belgium in yesterday's match, Sweden was eliminated from the tournament. In 2014, Ibrahimović was placed second on a list of Swedish sport stars, behind [[tennis]] player and five-time [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] winner {{w|Björn Borg}}. Ibrahimović said in reaction, "[...] to finish second is like finishing last." {{haveyoursay}} ==Related news== *{{wikinews|date=June 18, 2016|title=UEFA Euro 2016, day 8: Italy-Sweden, Czech Republic-Croatia, Spain-Turkey}} *{{wikinews|date=June 16, 2016|title=UEFA Euro 2016, days 4 and 5: three wins, two draws}} == Sources == *{{source|url=http://www.fifa.com/live-scores/uefaeuro/matches/match=Sweden-Belgium-300340754/index.html |title="Live Scores - UEFA EURO 2016: Sweden - Belgium" |author= |pub=FIFA |date=June 22, 2016 }} *{{source|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/news/newsid=2381779.html |title=Ibrahimović to retire from international football |author= |pub=UEFA |date=June 21, 2016 }} *{{source|url=http://svenskfotboll.se/arkiv/landslag/2016/06/zlatan-slutar-i-landslaget-efter-em/ |title=Zlatan slutar i landslaget efter EM |author= |lang=sv |pub=Svenska Fotbollförbundet |date=June 21, 2016 }} *{{source|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/23/zlatan-ibrahimovic-angry-second-swedish-sportspeople |title=Zlatan anger at finishing second on list of all-time Swedish sports people |author=Marcus Christenson |lang= |pub=The Guardian |date=December 23, 2014 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Sweden]] [[Category:Football (soccer)]] [[Category:UEFA Euro 2016]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Zlatan Ibrahimović]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] d0o3ggwelvap88a7uwcbwnoln3uu9j7 0 2793048 5024757 4828342 2026-05-04T03:41:55Z Acagastya 1526439 /* Group F &mdash; Hungary 3&ndash;3 Portugal */ iwl 5024757 wikitext text/x-wiki {{correction | date=December 20, 2016 | explanation=The headline mistakenly reads Poland where it should read Portugal, which is correctly reflected by the article itself. }} {{date|June 25, 2016}} {{UEFA Euro 2016}} On Wednesday in [[UEFA Euro 2016]], [[Iceland]] defeated [[Austria]] 2&ndash;1, [[Hungary]] drew against [[Portugal]] 3&ndash;3, [[Italy]] lost 0&ndash;1 to [[Republic of Ireland]] and [[Belgium]] defeated [[Sweden]] 1&ndash;0.

It would be a shame for football if he took this decision, but I'm sure he will reconsider and change his mind." Yesterday, president Mauricio Macri and Maradona urged him to think about his decision. Messi's former teammate {{w|David Villa}} said, "It's very bad news for soccer. Messi is the best player in the world. [...] I don't know what happened in his mind[...] I know he's strong, a professional player, he's sure now disappointed because he lost one more final in penalty kicks again." Ronaldinho, former Brazilian player and ex-Barcelona player, told {{w|America TV}} he respects Messi's opinion and he would be always with him.

[[File:Brazil and Croatia match at the FIFA World Cup 2014-06-12 (02).jpg|thumb|left|260px|File photo of Neymar Jr. {{image|Marcello Casal Jr/{{w|Agência Brasil}}}}]] == End of speculations about Neymar's future == Previously, Barcelona received offers for Neymar from [[Paris Saint Germain]], [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]], and [[Real Madrid]]. But on Friday, Neymar agreed to sign a five-year contract extension with the ''blaugranes''. Neymar has scored 85 goals in 141 appearances for Barça winning eight trophies. This year, he finished third in the [[FIFA]] {{w|FIFA Ballon d'Or|Ballon d'Or}}. Per the contract extension, Neymar's buyout clause is [[€]]200million for the first season which would rise to €250million after the end of the second season. The formal presentation of the extension is to be two weeks later before Neymar leaves for his international duties for the [[Olympics 2016]] in his homeland. After the agreement, Neymar [[Twitter|tweeted]], "{{translation note|Very happy to continue living this dream!|pt|Portuguese language|Muito feliz de continuar vivendo esse sonho!}} {{translation note|Long Live Barcelona and long live Catalunya|ca|Catalan language|Visca Barça y visca Catalunya}}". [[File:Russia-Sweden 2015 (18).jpg|thumb|left|260px|File photo of Zlatan Ibrahimović. {{image|Евгений Сойкин}}]] == Ibrahimović and Mourinho reunite == Zlatan's contract with [[France|French]] club [[Paris Saint Germain]] expired in June and Zlatan indicated his next move to Manchester United tweeting, "Time to let the world know. My next destination is @ManUtd [Manchester United]". Zlatan has made 180 appearances for [[Paris]] and scored 156 goals. He became the club's top scorer and helped the club win two domestic titles in a row, scoring 38 goals in {{w|Ligue 1}} last season. Former [[Sweden|Swedish]] captain Zlatan played under [[José Mourinho]] at [[Italy|Italian]] club [[FC Internazionale Milano]] in the 2008&ndash;2009 season before Zlatan left for [[Pep Guardiola]]'s [[FC Barcelona]] in exchange for {{w|Samuel Eto'o}}. After completing his second signing of the season<!-- Eric Bailly was the first -->, Mourinho said, "Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves." Debuting in 1999, Zlatan has won domestic titles in four different nations and six different clubs winning the 'Swedish Footballer of the Year' nine consecutive times. After agreeing to the terms Zlatan said, " I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League. It goes without saying that I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again." [[Arsenal F.C.]] tried to persuade Zlatan when he was 17 years old, when manager [[Arsène Wenger]] asked him to do a trial with the club. He declined the offer; recalling the incident later, he explained, "Zlatan doesn't do auditions." At international level, Zlatan is Sweden's all-time top scorer with 62 goals in 116 games. He retired from the Swedish team last month after their Euro exit. At [[Barcelona]], Zlatan won five trophies in one season, but clashed with Guardiola. He is likely to face Guardiola's Manchester City in {{w|Manchester Derby|their local derby}}. [[File:Nolito on Benfica.jpg|thumb|left|260px|File photo of Nolito. {{image|[[Commons:User:Alface|Alface]]}}]] == Nolito to work with Guardiola for a longer period == Manchester City under [[Pep Guardiola]]'s management signed Nolito from [[Spain|Spanish]] club Celta Vigo. At Celta Vigo, he scored 39 goals in 106 appearances. Nolito joined {{w|FC Barcelona B}} in 2008 just when Guardiola vacated the manager spot of the reserve team. Three years later, Nolito was promoted to the first team and played five matches under Guardiola. With limited playing time with Barcelona, he moved to [[Portugal|Portuguese]] club {{w|S.L. Benfica}}. Scoring 16 goals in 63 matches for Benfica, he was transferred to the Celts after a short loan to {{w|Granada CF}}. In three seasons with Celta Vigo, Nolito gained a place in Spain's international team. Playing four matches in [[UEFA Euro 2016]], Nolito scored one goal against [[Turkey]]. Nolito has been allotted the Number 9 jersey. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|title=Zlatan to retire from international football|date=June 23, 2016}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/news/2016-2017/neymar-contract-extension-2021-fcbarcelona |title=Neymar extends contract until 2021 |author= |pub=FC Barcelona |date=July 1, 2016 }} *{{source|title=Neymar: “¡Muy feliz de continuar viviendo este sueño!” |url=http://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20160630/402883220652/neymar-muy-feliz-de-continuar-viviendo-este-sueno.html |lang=es |author=Toribio Blanco |pub=Mundo Deportivo |date=July 1, 2016 }} *{{Source |url=https://www.twitter.com/neymarjr/status/748602892219723776 |date=July 1, 2016 |title=Neymar on Twitter |author=Neymar Jr |pub=Twitter |lang=pt }} ---- *{{source|url=http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2016/Jul/Manchester-United-complete-signing-of-Zlatan-Ibrahimovic.aspx |title=Manchester United sign Zlatan Ibrahimović |author= |pub=Manchester United |date=July 1, 2016 }} *{{source|url=http://www.premierleague.com/news/62575 |title=Manchester United sign striker Ibrahimovic |author= |pub=Premier League |date=July 1, 2016 }} *{{source |url=http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Features/2016/Jul/zlatan-ibrahimovic-player-profile-road-to-manchester-united.aspx |date=July 1, 2016 |pub=Manchester United |title=Profile: Zlatan Ibrahimovic's road to United }} *{{source |url=https://twitter.com/Ibra_official/status/748533508298129409 |date=June 30, 2016 |title=Zlatan Ibrahimović on Twitter |author=Zlatan Ibrahimović |pub=Twitter }} *{{Source |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/11083954/How-to-live-your-life-like-Zlatan-Ibrahimovic.html |pub=The Daily Telegraph |date=September 9, 2014 |title=How to live your life like Zlatan Ibrahimovic |author=Josh Warwick }} ---- *{{source|url=http://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/2016/07/01/nolito-signs-for-city/1467215591004 |title=Nolito signs for City |author=David Clayton |pub=Manchester City F.C. |date=July 1, 2016 }} *{{source|url=http://www.premierleague.com/news/62385 |title=Nolito relishing Guardiola reunion at Man City |author= |pub=Premier League |date=July 1, 2016 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[CAT:FC Barcelona]] [[CAT:Barcelona]] [[CAT:Catalonia]] [[CAT:Football (soccer)]] [[CAT:Sports]] [[Category:England]] [[Category:Manchester]] [[Category:Manchester City F.C.]] [[Category:Manchester United F.C.]] [[Category:Spain]] [[Category:Sweden]] [[Category:Zlatan Ibrahimović]] [[Category:Pep Guardiola]] [[Category:Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior]] [[Category:Paris Saint-Germain]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] sswlbmeh9m039wgeji7d7opcsjbyjip 0 2793814 5024767 4828349 2026-05-04T03:49:45Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024767 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|July 5, 2016}} {{UEFA Euro 2016}} On Sunday, in the quarter-final match of [[UEFA Euro 2016]], hosts [[France]] defeated [[Iceland]] 5&ndash;2.

Per the all-cash deal, Verizon would own only the core web business &mdash; in particular, {{w|Yahoo! Japan}} and {{w|Alibaba Group|Alibaba}} would not be acquired by Verizon. Going public in 1996, Yahoo! provided {{w|Yahoo! Mail|e-mail}} service a year later. Once having a worth of US$ 125 billion, Yahoo!'s value on Friday's closing was about $37 billion. Eight years ago, [[Microsoft]] offered US$44 billion for Yahoo!'s acquisition. The deal is expected to complete next year. [[File:Marissa Mayer, 2011 Interview (crop).jpg|thumb|left|260px|File photo of Yahoo!

Acquisition of Yahoo! means Verizon would own micro-blogging website {{w|Tumblr}} which was purchased by Yahoo! under ex-Google employee and Yahoo! CEO {{w|Marissa Mayer}} in 2013. Tumblr was formed by school dropout {{w|David Karp}} in 2007. Verizon would also own photo sharing site {{w|Flickr}}, acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. Yahoo! received bids from the owner of [[The Daily Mail]] as well as from {{w|AT&T}} &mdash; another American telecom giant. After handing over ownership to Verizon, Yahoo! would be selling about 3,000 patents at auction. Though Mayer has expressed she would like to remain the CEO, {{W|CNBC}} reported Verizon CEO Marni Walden is yet to decide the leadership team. Mayer said it was a big day for Yahoo!. This acquisition would end Yahoo!'s 20 years as an independent company and an early-emerging company in {{w|Silicon Valley}}, [[California]].

Ohsumi is the 25th Nobel laureate from Japan. [[File:Yoshinori Osumi 201511.jpg|thumb|left|260px|File photo of Yoshinori Ohsumi, 2015. {{image|大臣官房人事課}}]] 71-year-old Yoshinori Ohsumi studied mechanisms of autophagy &mdash; a process in which {{w|cell (biology)|cells}} eat parts of themselves and recycle the cell components. This phenomenon was observed in the 1960s with the discovery of {{w|lysosome|lysosomes}}, which contain enzymes to digest cell content. <!-- basic biology; lysozyme digest the cell content thus lysosome is called suicidal sacks of the cell-->For that discovery, [[Belgium|Belgian]] scientist {{w|Christian de Duve}} was subsequently honoured with the 1974 Nobel Prize in the same category. Ohsumi conducted a series of experiments with {{w|baker's yeast}} in the 1990s and identified fifteen genes needed for autophagy. Ohsumi applied the same mechanism to understand the process in humans. Autophagy is an important phenomenon whose failure through gene mutation may be involved in type 2 {{w|diabetes}}, [[cancer]], and neurological disorders such as {{w|Parkinson's disease}}. The committee said Ohsumi's discoveries have helped to understand "the fundamental importance of autophagy in many {{wikt|physiology|physiological}} processes, such as in the adaptation to starvation or response to infection." In remarks to Japanese broadcasting company {{w|NHK}}, Ohsumi said he was honoured to be recognised by the Nobel committee. Japanese Prime Minister [[Shinzo Abe]] congratulated Ohsumi and said {{translated quote|zh|Chinese language|(大隅良典)先生的研究成果给世界上苦于癌症及帕金森病等顽症的人们带来了希望,作为日本人感到非常自豪。|The results of [Mr. Osumi's] studies have brought hope to people in the world suffering from intractable diseases like cancer and Parkinson's disease, and the Japanese people can feel very proud}}. Ohsumi's research also earned him a 2015 Canada Gairdner International Award in March 2015.

Modi said RBI would exercise caution from past experience and limit the circulation of large-value notes. International tourists could purchase up to 5000 rupees using the old notes at airport exchanges till Friday. A limit was imposed on cash withdrawal<!-- from 10th November till 24th November don't know-->; a maximum of 10000 rupees each day, and 20000 rupees each week, can be withdrawn.

Amazon also announced 15% discount on gift cards worth 500 or 1000 rupees. The government ceased all transactions using the old 500 and 1000 rupee notes before Saturday<!-- November 12 -->. But a ''Wikinews'' correspondent noticed a jeweler shop accepting the demonetised notes on Saturday. When questioned, the jeweler said they were accepting the old notes only on purchase. When the correspondent, who did not identify as a reporter to the shop owners, said the old 500 and 1000 rupee notes were not legal money, they said they will exchange the notes in a bank since there were 50 days to exchange with a new and legal tender. They refused to exchange old 500 rupee notes with change, asserting the customer needs to buy merchandise from their shop. {{haveyoursay}} {{picture select|width=525px |2= [[File:Rush outside SBI night.jpg |left|thumb|500px|State Bank of India remained open at night, and a long queue of people waited outside the ATM to withdraw money{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title2=2 |1= [[file:Rush outside SBI ATM.jpg |right|thumb|300px|Crowded scene in front of State Bank of India{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]]|title1=1 |7= [[File:Syndicate Bank ATM closed (cropped).jpg|thumb|center|400px|Syndicate Bank's ATM remained closed on Wednesday<!-- November 9 -->{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title7=7 |8= [[File:Karnataka Bank ATM closed (cropped).jpg|thumb|center|400px|Karnataka Bank's ATM remained closed on Wednesday<!-- November 9 -->{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title8=8 |3= [[File:Canara Bank ATM closed (cropped).jpg|thumb|center|400px|CAnara Bank's ATM remained closed on Wednesday<!-- November 9 -->{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title3=3 |4= [[File:Karnataka Bank ATM closed 2 (cropped).jpg|thumb|center|400px|Karnataka Bank's ATM remained closed on Wednesday<!-- November 9 -->{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title4=4 |5= [[File:Corporate Bank ATM closed (cropped).jpg|thumb|center|400px|Corporation Bank's ATM remained closed on Wednesday<!-- November 9 -->{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title5=5 |6= [[File:Axis bank ATM closed.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Axis Bank's ATM remained closed on Wednesday<!-- November 9 -->{{image|Agastya Chandrakant}}]] |title6=6 }} {{clear}} == Sources == {{Original}} *{{source |url = https://rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=38568 |title = Withdrawal of Legal Tender Character of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000: RBI Statement |author = |pub = Reserve Bank of India |date = November 12, 2016 }} *{{source |url = http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37961975?src=ilaw |title = India rupees: PM Modi says move had to be secret -

Pavlensky said he and his partner Oksana Shalygina were falsely accused under Section 132 of the Criminal law for [[rape]]. [[File:Petr Pavlensky.jpg||left|thumb|200px|File photo of Pyotr Pavlensky. {{image|[[Commons:User:Dmitry Rozhkov|Dmitry Rozhkov]]}}]] The 32-year-old artist has been charged on several occasions. In the November 2015, Pavlensky set Russia's [[Federal Security Service]]'s headquarters' door on fire in [[Moscow]]. Pavlensky called this an artwork named "Threat" and was sentenced to a prison term for vandalism. He was released seven months later, in June. Anastasia Slonina, an actress working in a theatre in Moscow called Teatr.doc, known for liberal plays, filed rape charges on Pavlensky and his partner Oksana. The theatre claims to have a CCTV video footage of Pavlensky and other men beating Slonina's boyfriend in the parking lot on October 31. Pavlensky said he does not appear in the video. Pavlensky and Oksana were detained in December at {{w|Sheremetyevo airport|Sheremetyevo airport}} for questioning, which went on for seven hours. Pavlensky commented the rape charges had a political motivation behind it and denied the allegations. Olga Papernaya, former art director at Moscow's film club said, "Alas, yesterday a national hero and a great performance artist, today — it’s true — a criminal, a psychopath and a rapist". Pavlensky, Oksana, and their two daughters left for [[Ukraine]] in mid-December before flying to France. They arrived in Paris on Saturday. In one of several painful performances, Pyotr Pavlensky sewed his lips to support members of musical band {{w|Pussy Riot}} who were imprisoned that time. The band members were charged with hooliganism for performing an anti-[[Vladmir Putin|Putin]] song in a church. In 2013, he nailed his {{w|scrotum}} in Moscow's {{w|Red Square}} naming the art as "Fixation". Earlier in 2013, he wrapped himself, half naked, in a cocoon of barbed wire. The following year, he chopped off a part of his right ear lobe with a chef's knife sitting nude on a roof labelling the art as "Segregation". About returning to Russia, Pavlensky told [[BBC]], "I have no desire to return like a lamb to the slaughter, especially a slaughter that is desired, by the state." Pavlensky and Oksana are liable to be sentenced to a ten-year jail term if found guilty. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/17/arts/design/russian-dissident-artist-will-seek-asylum-in-france.html?_r=0 |title=Russian Dissident Artist Will Seek Asylum in France |author= Rachel Donadio |pub=The New York Times |date=January 17, 2017 }} *{{source|url=https://themoscowtimes.com/articles/artist-pyotr-pavlensky-flees-russia-to-apply-for-political-asylum-56827 |title=Activist Pavlensky Flees Russia Seeking Political Asylum Amid Rape Allegations |author=Katie Davies |pub=The Moscow Times |date=January 16, 2017 }} *{{source|url=http://www.france24.com/en/20170116-russian-protest-artist-pyotr-pavlensky-flees-france |title=Russian protest artist Pyotr Pavlensky flees to France |author=[[Agence France-Presse]] |pub=France24 |date=January 16, 2017 }} *{{source|url=http://www.dw.com/en/performance-artist-pyotr-pavlensky-flees-russia/a-37148554 |title=Performance artist Pyotr Pavlensky flees Russia |author= |pub=Deutsche Welle |date=January 16, 2017 }} *{{source|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38636262 |title=Russian artist Pavlensky 'to seek French asylum' amid sex claim |author=Sarah Rainsford |pub=BBC News Online |date=January 16, 2017 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[CAT:Russia]] [[CAT:Crime and law]] [[CAT:France]] [[CAT:Culture and entertainment]] [[CAT:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Art]] [[Category:Sex crimes]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[ru:Пётр Павленский эмигрировал из России]] 8oixdrywo535hqi4rxy5e8s342te93l 0 2805861 5024786 4817726 2026-05-04T04:02:08Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024786 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|January 23, 2017}} {{Tennis}} Yesterday, [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[tennis]] player [[Roger Federer]] defeated [[Japan]]ese player and current world number five {{w|Kei Nishikori}} in the {{w|Australian Open}}'s fourth round. 17th ranked Federer is to play against 50th ranked {{w|Mischa Zverev}} in Zverev's first ever Grand Slam quarter-final.

Thank you to my family and my parents. Thank you Dortmund. Thank {{w|Köln}} and thank you Germany!" Podolski immigrated to Germany at the age of two "with basically only a football under my arm", as he put it in August. He earned his 130th international cap on Wednesday. Podolski is Germany's third all time most capped player after {{w|Lothar Matthäus}} and {{w|Miroslav Klose}} and is the third top-scorer for Germany. Podolski debuted for ''Die Mannschaft'' thirteen years ago in 2004. Since then, the forward has made appearance in seven major tournaments, and won the 2014 {{w|FIFA World Cup}} in [[Brazil]]. Podolski was the fifth player to retire from Germany's 2014 World Cup squad.

The extended contract runs through June 2021. His previous contract was to expire at the end of the season. After signing the contract, Rodgers said, "It was an easy decision for me[...] Personally and professionally I’m in a great place, a few years ago I might have been in a rush but you learn through experience to appreciate what you have. What I have here is that I'm a supporter who got very, very lucky, but hopefully I can help to develop the club along with the people who are already here." The 44-year-old manager joined the Glasgow side in 2016 replacing {{w|Ronny Deila}}, and guided ''The Bhoys'' to the national league victory on Sunday. Celtic, who secured their sixth consecutive {{w|Scottish Premiership}} title with eight games to spare have a chance to complete a first domestic treble since 2001, having already won the {{w|Scottish League Cup}} and having qualified for the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup later in April under Rodgers. Rodgers narrowly missed out on the {{w|Premier League}} trophy with [[Liverpool F.C.]] in 2014. Rodgers enjoyed his first ever league victory with Celtic, and earned a spot in next season's [[UEFA Champions League]]'s group stage. Celtic under Rodgers have extended an unbeaten streak to 38 matches in the Scottish league. Rodgers was sacked by Liverpool in October 2015 after three-and-half-years of service at {{w|Anfield}}; and former [[Borussia Dortmund]]'s manager [[Jürgen Klopp]] filled his vacated spot. Peter Lawwell, Celtic's Chief Executive said, "Brendan has made a huge impact at Celtic already. He's an outstanding manager and we believe he is one of the best coaches in Europe, if not world football, and we're delighted that he has committed his future to Celtic." {{Haveyoursay}} == Related news == * {{Wikinews|Celtic FC wins sixth consecutive Scottish Premiership title|Tuesday, April 4, 2017}} * {{Wikinews|Jürgen Klopp signs 3 year contract with Liverpool|Saturday, October 10, 2015}} == Sources == * {{Source | url = http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39526811 | title = Brendan Rodgers: Celtic manager signs new four-year deal | author = | pub = BBC Sport | date = April 7, 2017 }} * {{Source | url = http://www.celticfc.net/news/12368 | title = Celtic delighted as Brendan Rodgers signs new 4-year contract | author = | pub = Celtic F.C. | date = April 7, 2017 }} * {{Source | url = http://www.celticfc.net/news/12373 | title = Brendan Rodgers: This was an easy decision for me to make | author = Jo Hendry | pub = Celtic F.C. | date = April 7, 2017 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Scotland]] [[Category:Glasgow]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Football (soccer)]] [[Category:Celtic F.C.]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[es:Brendan Rodgers firmó contrato por cuatro años con el Celtic]] 0dw32tylvvnhhhnz1wb3qez0lg4smwi 0 2813036 5024791 4814733 2026-05-04T04:05:21Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024791 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|April 12, 2017}} {{Crime and law}} Yesterday<!--On Tuesday--> in [[Dortmund]], [[Germany]] prior to the [[UEFA Champions League]]'s quarter-final match against {{w|AS Monaco}}, explosives detonated near a bus carrying <!--[[Germany|German]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club--> [[Borussia Dortmund]] (BVB)'s team, injuring defender {{w|Marc Bartra}}.

The bill would allow adults to possess cannabis publicly, previously a criminal offence. Canada's health minister {{w|Jane Philpott}} [[twitter|tweeted]], {{translated quote|fr|French language|Ajd nous avons déposé un nouveau projet de loi pour légaliser le cannabis, le réglementer de manière stricte et en restreindre l'accès. Notre objectif: garder le cannabis hors de la portée des jeunes, & les profits hors des mains des criminels.|Today we tabled new legislation to legalise, strictly regulate, and restrict access to cannabis. Our goal: keep it out of the hands of youth, and profits out of the hands of criminals.}} The Canadian government, via their official website, explained cannabis is available illegally, and their measures to stop it did not work. Criminal organisations are making money selling cannabis. Under-aged people can obtain the drug easily; they said, "it is easier for our kids to buy cannabis than cigarettes." The bill allows provinces and territories to set the age limit above eighteen. In order to prevent criminal gangs from making a profit, selling the drug needs a license permitting its sale. Adults can purchase the drug online from a licensed producer if a retail shop is not available in the province. Adults can carry up to 30&nbsp;{{w|gram|g}} (slightly over an {{w|ounce}}) of cannabis and grow at most four cannabis plants at home, for personal use. The plants should be no taller than a {{w|metre}}, the bill proposed. Selling cannabis to minors would be a specific criminal offence. The legislation requires parliamentary approval and royal assent. If passed, the bill would be under effect by July 2018, the government said. Health and safety experts and law enforcement were consulted before proposing the legislation. Except for medical purposes, possession of the drug remains illegal until the bill is passed. Regardless of the status of the bill, import and export of the drug would be illegal. Previously when the government increased the taxes on cigarettes to discourage citizens from smoking, a black market for cigarettes developed. Along with legalising cannabis, the bill would also permit the police officials to use tools like oral fluid drug screeners to detect if drivers are under the influence of the drug. Zero tolerance against drivers under influence of drugs is proposed. The government would also implement a public awareness campaign on the perils of driving under the influence of drugs. The government still working on the restrictions. Lawmaker and former police chief Bill Blair said, "We do accept that more important work remains to be done." If the bill is passed, Canada would be the second country to legalise cannabis completely. [Uruguay]] is the first. Some countries, such as [[Germany]], allow medical use of cannabis, but recreational use is prohibited. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|Germany legalises medical use of cannabis|January 20, 2017}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/04/13/trudeau-leaves-grim-faced-ministers-to-expand-on-pot-laws-right-before-long-weekend-hbert.html |date=April 13, 2017 |pub=The Star |author=Chantal Hébert |title=Trudeau leaves grim-faced ministers to expand on pot laws — right before long weekend: Hébert }} *{{source|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/13/world/canada/trudeau-marijuana.html |title=Trudeau Unveils Bill Legalizing Recreational Marijuana in Canada |author= Ian Austen |pub=The New York Times |date=April 13, 2017 }} *{{source|url=https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/news/2017/04/canada_takes_actiontolegalizeandstrictlyregulatecannabis.html |title=Canada takes action to legalize and strictly regulate cannabis |author= |pub=Government of Canada |date=April 13, 2017 }} *{{source|url=https://twitter.com/janephilpott/status/852578060465516544 |title=Jane Philpott on Twitter |author=Jane Philpott |pub=Twitter |date=April 13, 2017 }} *{{source|url=https://twitter.com/janephilpott/status/852578047156989952 |title=Jane Philpott on Twitter |author=Jane Philpott |pub=Twitter |date=April 13, 2017 }} *{{source|url=https://twitter.com/janephilpott/status/852578029813604358 |title=Jane Philpott on Twitter |author=Jane Philpott |pub=Twitter |date=April 13, 2017 |lang=fr }} *{{source|url=https://twitter.com/janephilpott/status/852578011950055424 |title=Jane Philpott on Twitter |author=Jane Philpott |pub=Twitter |date=April 13, 2017 |lang=fr }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[CAT:Canada]] [[CAT:Cannabis]] [[CAT:Justin Trudeau]] [[CAT:Crime and law]] [[CAT:Health]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[fr:Canada : le gouvernement va légaliser la marijuana pour les 18 ans et plus]] [[es:Canadá legalizará la marihuana para "dificultar el acceso a la droga a los menores de edad"]] h9kersp1m76895rpzlfajk21q01tllw 0 2814173 5024793 4821897 2026-05-04T04:05:59Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024793 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|April 25, 2017}} {{Football}} On Sunday, in [[Spain|Spanish]] [[LaLiga]]'s {{w|El Clásico}} clash, [[FC Barcelona]] defeated [[Real Madrid]] 3&ndash;2, with [[Lionel Messi]] scoring two goals at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

Yellow represents ''En Marche!'' and blue represents ''Front national''{{image|[[Commons:User:Mélencron|Mélencron]]}}]] With this victory, winning almost twice as many votes as Le Pen, 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron became the youngest President-elect of the Republic of France. In the first round of the election, held on April 23, no candidate won the absolute majority. The abstention rate increased from 22.23% to 25.44% in the second round, [[AFP]] reported, the first such second-round increase since 1969. He won the presidential race in the continuing state of emergency which was announced after the November 2015 [[Paris]] attack. Known for her anti-[[European Union|European]] and anti-globalisation programme, far-right leader Le Pen managed to win about twice as many votes as her father and founder of the ''Front national'' party [[Jean-Marie Le Pen]] who lost to [[Jacques Chirac]] in 2002. ''Front national'' won the highest number of votes in their history. In his speech in front of the glass pyramid near the {{w|Louvre Museum}}, Macron said, {{translated quote|fr|French language|Je sais les divisions de notre nation qui ont conduit certains à un vote extrême. Je sais les colères, les doutes, l'anxiété que certains ont exprimé.|I understand the divisions of our country that have led some to vote for extremists. I understand the anger, the anxiety, the doubts that a great part among us have also expressed.}} He also added, {{translated quote|fr|French language|Je défendrai la France, ses intérêts vitaux, son image. J'en prends l'engagement devant vous. Je défendrai l'Europe, c'est notre civilisation qui est en jeu, notre manière d'être libre. J'oeuvrerai à retisser les liens entre l'Europe et les citoyens. J'adresse aux nations du monde, le salut de la France fraternelle.|I will defend France, its vital interests, its image, I promise you in front of you. I will defend Europe, our civilisation is at stake, our way of being free. I will work to re-establish the bonds between Europe and the citizens. I address to the nations of the world, the salvation of fraternal France.}} Macron said he would serve as per the motto of France — {{translation note|''Liberté, égalité, fraternité''|fr|French language|Liberty, equality and fraternity}}. Acknowledging the "immense" awaiting task<!-- in case the other sources aren't enough: https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/861327757158043648 -->, he said, "I will do everything I can in the coming five years to make sure you never have a reason to vote for extremism again". {{translated quote|fr|French language|Félicitations Emmanuel Macron!

[[Germany|German]] chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] congratulated Macron via a telephone call. French parliamentary elections are to be held in June, and Emmanuel Macron, who describes himself as "neither left nor right" <!-- found in a source and on Wikipedia as well -->does not have a party in the parliament. ''En Marche!'' was formed last year.

Per the amendment, citizens can legally obtain guns, and carry them for the security of the country during militant attacks. Interior Minister {{w|Milan Chovanec}} said, "We do not want to disarm our citizens at a time when the security situation in Europe is getting worse" in Wednesday's parliamentary debate. The EU reformed the gun law in December, prohibiting citizens from possessing short semi-automated arms with more than 20 rounds, and long semi-automated arms with more than ten rounds. The rule was enacted in April; the Czech Republic, [[Poland]], and [[Luxembourg]] opposed it. The EU's decision to call for stricter law for firearms came after the [[Paris]] attack in November 2015, and explosions at [[Brussels]]' airport and subway system in March 2016. Chovanec said, "Show me a single terrorist attack in Europe perpetrated using a legally-owned weapon." The amendment waits for the approval of the senate and the president. The Czech government is to lodge a complaint against the EU's orders in the [[European Court of Justice]] by August 17. In recent years, unlike the Czech Republic, European countries including the [[United Kingdom]], [[France]] and [[Belgium]] suffered militant attacks. Last year's {{w|Global Peace Index}} listed the Czech Republic sixth in the safest countries. {{haveyoursay}} ==Related news == *{{wikinews|Explosions at Brussels airport and subway systems|Tuesday, March 22, 2016}} == Sources == *{{source |url = http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40438378 |title = Czech parliament moves to legalise firearm ownership |author = |pub = BBC News |date = June 29, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://sputniknews.com/europe/201706291055076372-czech-republic-firearms-terrorism/ |title = Open Season: Ordinary Czechs Get Right to Shoot Terrorists on Sight |author = |pub = Sputnik News |date = June 29, 2017 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[CAT:Crime and law]] [[CAT:Politics and conflicts]] [[CAT:Czech Republic]] [[Category:European Union]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Gun politics]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Constitutions (unsorted)]] bpylcn93cf4tht401gxjw3zem8jjvo5 0 2819634 5024836 4823173 2026-05-04T04:43:01Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024836 wikitext text/x-wiki {{obituaries}}{{date|July 15, 2017}} On Thursday, {{w|Liu Xiaobo}}, a [[China|Chinese]] {{wikt|dissident}}, human rights activist, and [[Nobel Peace Prize]] laureate died in a hospital in China at the age of 61.<!-- BBC, CNN --> He was on medical parole after he was diagnosed with late-stage {{w|liver cancer}} while in prison for his active criticism of the Chinese government.

and the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], amongst others &mdash; collectively announced a three-year commitment for a free-culture fellowship to honour {{W|Bassel Khartabil}}'s continuing influence on the open web, during the Wikimedia's annual conference [[Wikimania]] in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]], [[Canada]]. [[Palestine|Palestinian]]-[[Syria|Syrian]] Khartabil was held in captivity under the Syrian government starting in 2012 and went silent in prison in 2015. Early this month his wife confirmed Khartabil had been executed in 2015. [[File:Bassel Safadi.jpg|left|thumb|File photo of {{w|Bassel Khartabil}}, 2009. {{image|[https://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/ Joi] ([https://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/4116204699/sizes/t/in/photostream/ flickr])}} ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en CC BY 2.0])]] Khartabil worked as a computer engineer and contributed to Mozilla and Wikipedia. A supporter of free access to knowledge and culture, Khartabil co-founded Syria's first hackerspace, Aiki Lab, and led Creative Commons' Syrian project. The fellowship to honour Khartabil aims to promote free culture in various forms, including art, music, software, and community. On their official blog, Creative Commons said they would encourage applications from the {{w|Levant}}, Middle East, and North Africa. {{w|Amazon Web Services}} is to act as a supporting partner and the fellows would receive a stipend of [[US$]]50 thousand over the course of ten months. The fellowship is to be awarded on a one-year basis, which could be renewed. Additionally, the organisations are to provide up to US$3000 for the candidates to purchase equipment and software. Promoting candidates from "closed societies" from the countries with a history of oppression of freedom of expression and access to free knowledge, the fellowship laid three requirements for the eligibility. The applicants must have a history of contribution to the open source/access or free culture communities, and propose in their application an initiative promoting free culture values, and in which the fellowship would be their primary work focus. The fellowship applications are to be accepted from February, and the fellowship is to be awarded in April. Apart from contributing to Mozilla and [[Red Hat]], Bassel Khartabil developed "Aiki", an open source framework which is currently used by {{W|Openclipart|Open Clip Art}} and {{W|Open Font Library}}. He was listed among Top Global Thinkers by ''{{W|Foreign Policy}}'', and given a Digital Freedom Award by the {{W|Index on Censorship}}. Khartabil was arrested by the Syrian military in March 2012. Following time in a Syrian General Intelligence Directorate facility, nine months after his arrest he was transferred to {{w|Adra Prison}}, and permitted family visits. He was relocated to an undisclosed facility in October 2015, and executed soon after. His wife, Noura Ghazi Safadi, confirmed Khartabil's death on August 1 via a [[Facebook]] post. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{Source |url = http://cwnnews.ddns.net/wikimedians-and-free-knowledge-leaders-convene-in-montreal-for-13th-annual-wikimania/ |title = Wikimedians and free knowledge leaders convene in Montreal for 13th annual Wikimania |author = |pub = CWN News |date = August 11, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://creativecommons.org/2017/08/11/bassel-free-culture-fellowship/ |date = August 11, 2017 |title = Honoring Our Friend Bassel: Announcing the Bassel Khartabil Free Culture Fellowship |author = Ryan Merkley, Katherine Maher and Mark Surman |pub = Creative Commons }} <!-- *{{source |url=https://creativecommons.org/2017/08/11/bassel-free-culture-fellowship/ |date=August 11, 2017 |title=Honoring Our Friend Bassel: Announcing the Bassel Khartabil Free Culture Fellowship |author= Ryan Merkley, Katherine Maher and Mark Surman |pub=Mozilla }} *{{source |url=https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/08/11/bassel-khartabil-free-culture-fellowship/ |date=August 11, 2017 |title=Honoring Our Friend Bassel: Announcing the Bassel Khartabil Free Culture Fellowship |author= Ryan Merkley, Katherine Maher and Mark Surman |pub=Wikimedia Foundation }} before you complain about the content being same [as in the exact verbatim] in the sources, note that we require information from two independent publishers -- that is the clause -- besides, the content's licenses are incompatible.

The new contract runs until June 2022. Now-25-year-old Carvajal joined ''Los Blancos'' from German club {{w|Bayer Leverkusen}} in summer 2013.

The retailer filed it from [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]], [[Virginia]] for Chapter 11 [[bankruptcy]] code in the US, and a judge allowed a loan of over [[US$]]2 billion. According to the filing, the retail chain owns US$6.6 billion in assets, but has a debt of US$7.9 billion. They were under a roughly US$5 billion debt since the company underwent a three-way acquisition in 2005. {{w|Kohlberg Kravis Roberts}}, {{W|Bain Capital}}, and {{W|Vornado Realty Trust}} acquired Toys R Us for around US$7 to US$7.5 billion. After the US judge approved a loan, Toys R Us received about US$3 billion from the lenders to continue the business and survive a competitive market, and restructure their business model. E-commerce giant [[Amazon.com]], [[Walmart]] and {{W|Target Corporation|Target}} are some of the competitors for the conventional '{{wikt|brick and mortar}}' toy shop, with lower priced-merchandise and fast, cheap delivery. In a conference call in June, CEO {{W|Dave Brandon}} said "very, very aggressive pricing online" was causing problems. He also said the company was experiencing "significant weakness in demand for their products globally". Toys R Us are to clear a debt of US$400 million by May 2018. Toys R Us said they would continue to operate for the holiday season. Bankruptcy lawyer Jeff Gleit said Toys R Us "need to do both a financial restructuring as well as an operational restructuring" and "needs to modernize with the times". Last holiday season, Toys R Us made sales around US$4.5 billion. Overall, the company reported a US$29 million loss in 2016. CEO Brandon said, "Our objective is to work with our debt holders and other creditors to restructure the US$5 billion of long-term debt on our balance sheet, which will provide us with greater financial flexibility to invest in our business". Toys R Us employs more than 60 thousand people in 38 countries around the world in more than 1600 stores. The company's stocks fell by six percent after filing for Chapter 11 protection. US bankruptcy code Chapter 11 allows the company to restructure under a plan approved by the court. The company would also be shielded from creditors' claims during the process. For the stores located in Canada, Toys R Us filed bankruptcy in [[Ontario]] and are to undergo reorganisation. However, 259 stores located outside the US or Canada will not undergo reorganisation, the company said. Over 300 US-based retailers have filed for bankruptcy this year, and hundreds of stores closed. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/09/19/toys-r-us-files-for-bankruptcy-amid-struggle-to-pay-down-billions-in-debt/ |title = Toys R Us — crushed by debt — files for bankruptcy |author = Abha Bhattarai |pub = Washington Post |date = September 20, 2017 }} *{{source |url = http://www.businessinsider.in/Traders-are-making-huge-bets-that-the-Toys-R-Us-bankruptcy-will-crush-one-of-its-main-suppliers/articleshow/60767213.cms |title = Traders are making huge bets that the Toys R Us bankruptcy will crush one of its main suppliers |author = Joe Ciolli |pub = Business Insider |date = September 20, 2017 }} *{{source |url = http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-toys-r-us-bankruptcy-20170919-story.html |title = Toys R Us says its bankruptcy won't interrupt the holiday shopping season |author = James F.

Ponte communicated with {{W|Miri Regev}}, {{W|Ministry of Culture and Sport (Israel)|Israeli minister of Culture and Sports}}, and considered withdrawing the team from the grand slam, which is scheduled to be held from October 26 to 28. Regev wrote a letter addressing [[Thomas Bach]], the president of the [[International Olympic Committee]], which read, "The demand to appear without national symbols is contrary to the mandate of international sports associations, the main aim of which is to separate politics from sport, and strengthen sport as a bridge and connection between peoples, cultures and countries." She also wrote, "It is the obligation of any country which has the privilege of hosting an international competition to allow the competing athletes to represent the country honorably while ensuring their security." Officials of the Abu Dhabi judo grand slam said the players would not be allowed to bear Israel's code "ISR" on their back, nor would it appear on the scoreboard, and the Israeli national anthem would not be played if any Israeli {{Wikt|judoka}} wins a gold medal. However, the Israel Judo Association said, "We won't be dragged into the political arena and won't award prizes to those who want to deter us from appearing all over the world." Twelve Israeli judokas are expected to compete in the grand slam in the capital of the [[UAE]]. They would represent the {{W|International Judo Federation}}, and their jersey would show an "IJF" tag. About two years ago, Israeli athletes faced the same situation in the grand slam in the UAE's capital, and Regev asked for an emergency meeting then. In last year's [[Olympics]] in [[Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janiro]], after losing to Israeli judoka {{W|Or Sasson}}, {{W|Islam El Shehaby}} of [[Egypt]] refused to shake hands. The International Olympic Committee said this gesture "was contrary to the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic values." During the opening ceremony of the same tournament, the Israeli team were denied by [[Lebanon|Lebanese]] athletes to share a bus, even physically blocking the entrance to prevent Israelis from boarding the bus. Israeli's {{w|Sailing (sport)|sailing}} coach {{w|Udi Gal}}, in a [[Facebook]] post, wrote, "How could they let this happen on the eve of the Olympic Games?

They named areas in [[Mosul]]'s {{W|Nineveh province}} as under army control as well. The oil fields of Bai Hassan and Avana were captured by the army on Tuesday. Iraqi Prime Minister {{W|Haider al-Abadi}} gave orders on Monday to capture disputed areas between the Kurdistan autonomous regions and Iraq. The city of Kirkuk has oil fields, and the {{W|Iraqi Oil Ministry}} signed a contract with [[UK]] oil company [[BP]] for consultancy in 2013. But, the following year, while [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]] was fighting the Iraqi army, Peshmerga gained control over much of the area. In the operation to re-gain the control, at least 25 Peshmerga fighters were killed, reported ''[[Al Jazeera]]'' citing {{w|Sulaimaniyah}} morgue official Barzan Mohammed. The Prime Minister said Iraq had to regain control of the oil fields and other areas occupied by Peshmerga to "protect the unity of the country".

Officials said two [[Pakistan|Pakistani]] soldiers were killed due to that explosion. At least five were killed in in a gunfire incident in Quetta last week. Earlier this month, more than a dozen were killed at a Sufi shrine in Balochistan in an alleged suicide attack. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews |title = Pakistan: At least 18 killed, others wounded in suicide attack at Balochistan Sufi shrine |date = October 8, 2017 }} == Sources == *{{source |url = http://in.reuters.com/article/pakistan-blast/pakistani-taliban-suicide-bomber-rams-police-truck-kills-7-idINKBN1CN0GP |title = Pakistani Taliban suicide bomber rams police truck, kills 7 |author = Gul Yousafzai |pub = Reuters |date = October 18, 2017 }} *{{source |url = http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/10/roadside-blast-kills-elite-police-pakistan-quetta-171018053947074.html |title = Roadside blast kills elite police in Pakistan's Quetta |author = Asad Hashim |pub = Al Jazeera |date = October 18, 2017 }} *{{source |url = http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/10/gunmen-target-hazara-shia-muslims-quetta-city-171009094724088.html |title = Hazara Shia Muslims attacked in Pakistan's Quetta |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = October 9, 2017 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Balochistan (Pakistan)]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Lashkar-e-Jhangvi]] [[Category:Pakistan]] [[Category:Pakistani Taliban]] [[Category:Quetta]] [[Category:Suicide attacks]] [[nl:Doden en gewonden bij aanslag op politievrachtwagen in Pakistan]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] rgqh7b46z91k53z2mqp9cdmpyhtegpc 0 2828112 5024835 4824196 2026-05-04T04:42:41Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024835 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Poland}}{{date|November 14, 2017}} On Saturday afternoon, thousands of far-right {{wikt|nationalist|nationalists}} gathered in [[Poland]]'s capital [[Warsaw]] to participate in "''Independence March''" which was organized by far-right groups including {{w|All-Polish Youth}}, the National Movement, and the National-Radical Camp. Participants objected to liberalism, [[Islam]], and some banners supported [[white supremacy]]. The slogan of this year's ''Independence March'' was "We want god". The march, which coincided with Poland's independence day, began at 3:00 P.M. local time (1400 {{w|UTC}}). Marchers chanted "Great national Poland, religion is the basis of the Polish nation, Great [[Roman Catholicism|Catholic]] Poland and one nation across the borders"<!--AlJ--> under banners reading "We want God" and "White Europe of brotherly nations."<!--ABC--> There were also anti-leftist, anti-[[United States]] slogans as well as slogans against liberal media broadcasters. Poland's Interior Minister {{w|Mariusz Błaszczak}} said, "We are proud that so many Poles have decided to take part in a celebration connected to the Independence Day holiday." [[Andrzej Duda]], Polish president, condemned the march and called this march a display of "sick nationalism". He also added "there is no place [for xenophobia] in Poland". Emmanuel Nahshon, spokesperson of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, called the march "a dangerous march of extreme and racist elements" and told the ''[[Associated Press]]'', "We hope that Polish authorities will act against the organisers [...] History teaches us that expressions of racist hate must be dealt with swiftly and decisively." Rafał Pankowski, a sociologist of the anti-extremist organization ''Never Again'', said, "I think that most of the organisers are not very religious, either. [...] But use [[Christianity]] as a kind of identity marker, which is mostly about being anti-Islam now." Muslims make up under one percent of Poland's population, and Poland has refused to welcome refugees. The organizers of the march estimate more than 100,000 people attended<!--ALJ-->, but the police put the number at 60,000<!--ABC-->. Antifa Warsaw (Anti-fascist Warsaw) organized a counter-march in the capital. One of the participants, lidia Domanska said about 5000 people participated in the march. Only one clash between the two groups was reported, of a man kicking women who were holding a flag reading "Stop Fascism." The event drew people from other European countries, including [[Slovakia]], [[Sweden]] and [[Hungary]]<!--Independent-->. 39-year-old {{w|Richard B. Spencer|Richard Spencer}}, a white supremacist from the United States, was invited to Poland by far-right groups, and he was scheduled to attend the event but did not. On October 27, Poland's Foreign Minister {{w|Witold Waszczykowski}} said, "He [Spencer] should not appear publicly, and especially not in Poland." Saying Spencer's opinions "are in conflict with the legal order" of the country, Waszczykowski added, "as a country which was one of the biggest victims of {{w|Nazism}}, we believe that the ideas promoted by Mr Spencer and his followers could pose a threat to all those who hold dear the values of human rights and democracy". November 11 is the anniversary of the end of [[World War I]], after which Poland regained its status as an independent country in 1918. The ''Independence March'' was first organised in 2009 and the number of participants has grown since. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/13/polish-president-condemns-far-right-scenes-at-independence-day-march |title = Polish president condemns far-right scenes at Independence Day march |author = |pub = The Guardian |date = November 13, 2017 }} *{{source |url = http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/thousands-fascists-march-warsaw-171111052813155.html |title = Thousands of nationalists, fascists march in Warsaw |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = November 12, 2017 }} *{{source |url = http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/eus-tusk-joins-independence-day-events-polish-homeland-51081272 |title = 60,000 join far-right march on Poland's Independence Day |author = Vanessa Gera of the [[Associated Press|AP]] |pub = ABC News (United States) |date = November 11, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://www.independent.ie/world-news/polish-farright-march-draws-white-supremacists-from-around-the-globe-36307343.html |title = Polish far-right march draws white supremacists from around the globe |author = [[Associated Press|AP]] |pub = The Irish Independent |date = November 10, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/27/poland-to-richard-spencer-keep-out |title = Poland to white nationalist Richard Spencer: keep out |author = [[Associated Press|AP]] |pub = The Guardian |date = October 27, 2017 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[CAT:Poland]] [[CAT:White supremacy]] [[CAT:Europe]] [[CAT:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Warsaw]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Acagastya (Reviewer)]] [[Category:Andrzej Duda]] pyisfphtss2soyvqgb5u85xg3fiu5yf 10 2828122 5024421 4408640 2026-05-03T22:22:23Z Koavf 5879 cat (via JWB) 5024421 wikitext text/x-wiki {{msgbox |border = #FFEB3B |background = #FFF9C4 |message = A contributor has requested to add the categories mentioned below from this [[WN:PP|protected]] article.

Beginning on Saturday morning, it continued through to Sunday. Organised by {{W|Comic Con India}}, who organised Comic Con in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] in October and [[Mumbai]] in November, this event was held at Karnataka Trade Promotion Organisation (KTPO)'s convention hall. ''Wikinews'' spoke to convention guests Sailesh Gopalan and {{w|John Layman}}. {{W|Freelancer}} comic book artist and {{W|illustrator}} {{W|Scott Hampton}}, known for sketching {{W|Batman}}, {{w|Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow}}, {{w|Sandman (Vertigo)|Sandman}}, {{w|Hellraiser}} and [[Star Trek]], was among the featured guests at the convention. Along with him, professional cosplayer Tabitha Lyons, who dressed up like DC Comics's {{w|Wonder Woman}} on Saturday; freelancer comic book writer John Layman, writer of ''{{w|Chew (comics)|Chew}}'', published by {{w|Image Comics}}; creator of ''{{W|Zen Pencils}}'' Gavin Aung Than; and creator of ''Brown Paperbag'' comics Sailesh Gopalan also attended the event as special guests. The event started at 11 AM {{w|Indian Standard Time|IST}} (0530 {{w|UTC}}). Crossing between the genres of science fiction, horror, anime, fantasy and comics, the event sprawled throughout all corners of the facility. {{W|Marvel Comics|Marvel}} Zone, {{W|Amazon Video}} zone, AXN Live RED Special Session, ''[[Star Wars]]' Last Jedi'' zone and {{W|OnePlus}} smartphone zone attracted large number of audience. OnePlus, who were one of the sponsors of the event, had an exclusive launch of their new smartphone OnePlus 5T Star Wars, limited edition at about 5:30 PM. Marvel, ''Star Wars'' and AXN Live RED zones had quizzes about the {{W|Marvel Cinematic Universe}}, ''Star Wars'', and the ''Sherlock Holmes'' TV series. Most of the Marvel questions were about the upcoming live action movie ''{{W|Black Panther (film)|Black Panther}}''. Holy Cow entertainment launched latest issues of their comics ''Age of Immortals'' and ''Caster''. The Comic Con panel included sessions with Sailesh Gopalan about webcomics, ''Zen pencils'' creator Gavin Aung Than, as well as Scott Hampton. Focusing on Indian mythology, [[India|Indian]] comic book publisher {{W|Amar Chitra Katha}} conducted a quiz, and asked questions like, "Who was the mother of Nakul and Sahdev?" from the ''{{W|Mahabharat}}''. After the quiz, people dressed as {{W|Stormtrooper (Star Wars)|Stormtroopers}}, soldiers from Star Wars, took the stage, for the launch of the limited edition of OnePlus 5T Star Wars.

Despite some of the audience being juveniles, Shah cracked some adult jokes, and used cuss words. After a joke about professor Utonium from ''{{W|The Powepuff Girls}}'' "making girls in his basement with a secret recipe", he asked the audience rhetorically if Indian chef {{W|Sanjeev Kapoor}} shared the recipe on his show. He said he had presented the same joke in [[Delhi]], but people did not get it, hinting about the sex ratio<!-- was pretty obvious, but it might feel like opinion; make your call -->. He later added "it was because I said in English", a comment towards Delhi's literacy rate. However, Shah told the Bangalore audience in Hindi. Some other jokes stereotyped certain ethnic groups, and classed of the Indian society, discussing the cussing habits of people in Delhi and comparing it with that of Mumbai. He also made fun of [[US]] president [[Donald Trump]], saying "the Americans voted for an orange alien". After Shah's performance, the cosplay contest started, with about 280 people registering for the competition in five categories including comics/graphic novels, movies/television shows, gaming, anime/manga and science fiction/fantasy. The winner of cosplay competition is to represent Bangalore in the upcoming National Indian Championships of Cosplay, along with [[Indian rupee|₹]]50 thousand (about [[euro|€]]650) prize money.

The event finished at 8 PM. == Interviews == === Interview with Sailesh Gopalan, creator of Brown Paperbag comics === [[File:2017 Bangalore ComicCon (media) IMG 0106.JPG|right|thumb|Sailesh Gopalan. {{image|[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]]|file=2017 Bangalore ComicCon (media) IMG 0106.JPG}}]] {{WNI first question}} When did you decide you wanted to write comics? {{WNIR|Sailesh Gopalan}} Um, I decided around three days before I started making Brown Paperbag [comics]. It was on a complete whim, I just wanted to start, I just wanted to try out something new. I was reading this webcomic last year in June. And it is called ''Blue Chair'' by Shen and I decided, you know, might as well try making my own webcomic and that is actually when I got into it. {{WNIQ}} Why did you name it "Brown Paperbag"? {{WNIR|SG}} So, brown is a colour we associate with with Indians, and, on top of that, in these old cartoons, people used to put this brown paper bag on the top of their head with two eye holes and that symbolises shame or embarrassment, which is an overarching theme all over my comics. {{WNIQ}} How much time do you take to write a comic? {{WNIR|SG}} Comic typically takes around three hours. From idea to the final output. Three, three and half hours. {{WNIQ}} I have read your comics and most of them are related to satire, but you never entered into politics. Why is that so? {{WNIR|SG}} So, the thing is, most of the comics that I have read that are form Indians that are in newspapers are all political and not enough importance has been given to just Indian daily lives, just the families and how they interact with society. So I have decided to stay away from politics in this comic just because I am not trying to send a message across, I am just trying to appeal to people's nostalgia, make them remember something that they experienced and just relate to it. {{WNIQ}} Who is your inspiration? {{WNIR|SG}} When it comes to webcomics, my inspiration has to be Shen from ''Blue Chair'', and it is also called Shen Comics now. Then, ''The Awkward Yeti'' &mdash; Nick Seluk, then Sarah Andersen's comics &mdash; ''Sarah's Scribbles''. Yeah, those are pretty much it. I only read the mainstream ones before I decided to start making my own, So I don't have a long list. [Laughs] {{WNIQ}} Where did you upload your first comic? {{WNIR|SG}} [[Facebook]]. {{WNIQ}} Are you self-taught? {{WNIR|SG}} Yes! For the most part, yeah. I mean, I am studying animation design, but when it comes to drawing, I completely just taught myself. {{WNIQ}} Do you discuss your ideas before penning them down? {{WNIR|SG}} With some people. I have a couple of friends, I talk to sometimes, but for most ideas, no. I just go for it. Yeah. {{WNIQ}} What tools do you use to create your comics? {{WNIR|SG}} I draw in {{w|Adobe Inc.|Adobe}} {{w|Photoshop}}, and I use a Wiacom tablet. {{WNIQ}} I wanted to know what is your official website. {{WNIR|SG}} I don't have an official website but it is all over on Facebook or Instagram and even on Webtoons, but I don't have a website yet, but I am planning to start one soon. {{WNIQ}} What are some of your hobbies? {{WNIR|SG}} Oh, it is just drawing, animating. I play [[soccer|football]], [[basketball]], but mostly just drawing and animating. {{WNIQ}} There is one character in your comic, which is called as[...] Kabeer. Why did you name him Kabeer? {{WNIR|SG}} So Kabeer is a religiously ambiguous name. Kabeer isn't overly seen as a Hindu or a Muslim or anything. So it is a middle point and I wanted to keep a character that everyone can relate to, not just someone who belongs to a certain religion. So for that ambiguity, that is why I came up with the name, plus I really like the name. That was actually, probably the main reason. {{WNIQ}} There is this comic which you have titled "Folow my dreams, son", which was about a boy who wanted to become a footballer, but ends up getting a degree from FFS College of Engineering. So were there some challenges with your... {{WNIR|SG}} Absolutely not! My parents have been super supportive from the start. Like they actually told me to leave studies and go for art because I was so passionate about art and design. So I have had a very very smooth sailing so far. No parental pressure at all. It has been amazing, yeah. {{WNIQ}} If you had something to tell to your younger self, about your webcomics, what would you tell? {{WNIR|SG}} Read more. Right now I am reading a lot of different kinds of comics so I can look at different ways of story telling. If I had done that earlier, maybe I could have, maybe, I don't know, some stories could have turned out better. When I look at some of my older comics, I feel like, 'Okay this could have been done a little better' sometimes. So, that's it. Otherwise nothing. Like I said, I had a smooth life, I don't give a f... {{WNIQ}} Would you mind if I take a photo? {{WNIR|SG}} Absolutely not. === Interview with freelancer comic writer John Layman === [[File:2017 Bangalore ComicCon (media) IMG 0115.JPG|right|thumb|Freelance comic writer John Layman. {{image|[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]]|file=2017 Bangalore ComicCon (media) IMG 0115.JPG}}]] {{WNI first question}} How did you get into comics? {{WNIR|John Layman}} My first job, I moved to [[San Diego, California|San Diego]] because that is where the comic book con is. After college, I moved to San Diego, at it was much smaller, but I didn't know how to get into comics because it was the pre internet or internet was just coming in to being and it was like 1990. So I got a job at the newspaper, and I would do geek stories. Whenever like {{w|Spawn (comics)|Spawn}} had a TV show, or {{w|Judge Dredd}} had a movie or the Comic Con rolled in town, I would write an article about it. And eventually I attracted attention of the local comic book company which was Jim Lee's WildStorm productions. They hired me as an assistant editor and then I worked my way up to editor, and then DC bought us. And suddenly I was a DC editor. So I had done that for about five years and then I had always wanted to write, I figured I knew how so I went freelance and then I started writing in about 2001. And I have been writing ever since. {{WNIQ}} What other companies do you have worked for? {{WNIR|JL}} DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, IDW, Avatar, Dark Horse, Dynamite, ...[a fellow volunteer suggests X-Men] well, companies, like Boom! I have basically worked for every, nearly every major comic book company in America. {{WNIQ}} Why did you choose freelancing and not stick to one company? {{WNIR|JL}} Because I don't want to work for a boss. I don't want to wear pants. I don't want people to tell me what to do. Like if I don't want a job, I can just [shows middle finger]<!-- yes, he did, though I have no video evidence of it --> you know, I can just walk away. But, it's hard because if you don't have work, you don't get paid. So you are always hustling. But there is a freedom of being your own boss. {{WNIQ}} If you had an option, like, if there was no one to command you, would you still continue freelancing? {{WNIR|JL}} I, no. I actually, a few years ago, I got a company job and after being freelancer, like no I don't wanna go into an office, I don't wanna do hours, like you get being used to be your own boss, I could never go back to a real job. {{WNIQ}} Which is the first character you'd created when you were a kid? {{WNIR|JL}} Oh! You know, I can't &mdash; that's been so long ago I don't even keep track that anymore. I mean I had some old dumb things that I don't even pay attention to anymore because I look back at them and they are so amateurish, you know I don't have a certain character I have created at an age that I remember. {{WNIQ}} If you had something to tell something to your younger self, what would you tell? {{WNIR|JL}} To my younger self? Just keep going. Because there's a lot of years where, you know, you are not making money and you are working real hard and you don't think you are ever gonna get there, but just keep at it, and you will get there. {{WNIQ}} All these years, since the technology has taken over, how has the comic book industry changed in your opinion? {{WNIR|JL}} Well, when I first started; it has got much easier, and it has gotten more global. Like I could work with someone in India and it wouldn't matter because with Wi-Fi and with e-mail and instant message, you know, the old days, you had to FedEx pages, and you had to scan them, and it would take literally twenty minutes to save a giant file on Photoshop and then you would have to upload film and then you would have to drive the film to FedEx. Now, everyone's got their own scanner. Everyone can do things by email. You can upload files by FTP. Like I work with people all around the world now, and before, you almost had to kind of work with the Americans and now its really easy to be global. {{WNIQ}} Who was your inspiration? {{WNIR|JL}} Um, {{w|Kurt Vonnegut}} and {{w|Fredric Brown}}. They're both science fiction writers. {{WNIQ}} Are you self-taught? {{WNIR|JL}} Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, as an editor, I read scripts. Again and again and again and you read bad scripts and you read good scripts and you learn from everything. Like even a bad script can teach you what not to do. So I studied all the scripts I read and learned from that. And you learn from mistakes. You, sometimes you write a bad script and then you figure out what you did wrong, you do better next time. {{WNIQ}} Which is your favourite superhero? <!-- I mixed up two questions and poof! there we have a grammatically incorrect question --> {{WNIR|JL}} Plastic Man. And Batman. And Spider-Man. {{WNIQ}} If you had a chance to become a superhero, which one would you choose? {{WNIR|JL}} Um, probably someone who could fly. Maybe someone who could be invisible. I don't wanna be Batman. Batman's got too many issues. {{WNIQ}} What would you recommend to the new people <!-- that audio, for some reason is distorted in this portion, and the word is not clear --> getting into comic writing and drawing? {{WNIR|JL}} Oh! Well that's two different questions. Like do you want to write? My advice is figure out what you want to do and then focus on that because some people try to do everything and they don't do it well because they are trying to do everything. So figure out really what you want to do and just fine-tune that. {{WNIQ}} Would you mind if I take a photo? {{WNIR|JL}} No, of course not. Yeah. == Photo gallery == === Special guests === {{picture select|width=525px |[[File:2017 Bangalore ComicCon (media) IMG 1150.JPG|thumb|center|400px|Freelancer comic book artist Scott Hampton.

1955)|Yisrael Katz}} told Israeli newspaper ''{{w|Yedioth Ahronoth}}'' he had decided to name a railway station "Donald John Trump Station" after the [[US]] president [[Donald Trump]], which is to be built near the {{w|Wailing Wall}} in [[Jerusalem]], a [[Judaism|Jewish]] holy site. "The Western Wall is the holiest site of the Jewish people and I have decided to name the train station leading to it after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, following his courageous and historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel", Katz told Yedioth Ahronoth. The idea of building an extra railway station near the Cardo region was recommended by a steering committee of {{w|Israel Railways}}, and Katz agreed for the proposal. Last year, Katz reportedly suggested the idea of extending the forthcoming high-speed rail line connecting [[Tel Aviv]] and [[Jerusalem]]'s western entrance so that this line runs further to the {{w|Western Wall}}, in order to reduce travel time. Currently, the project is in the initial stages of development. According to the actual scheme, the new railway tunnel is about three {{w|kilometre|kilometres}} (about two {{w|mile|miles}}) long and it is to run through downtown Jerusalem. It is to run beneath the city center via {{w|Modi'in}} and {{w|Ben-Gurion International Airport}}, have two underground stations, and pass close to many holy sites including {{w|Temple Mount}} and {{w|Church of the Holy Sepulchre}}. According to Avner Ovadia, a spokesman for the Israeli transport ministry, estimated cost for the extension is about 2.5 billion {{w|Israeli Shekel|shekels}} (about {{w|£}}522 million; [[US$]]700m) and the project is expected to take four years to complete after approval. Katz calls his idea of naming a railway station after Donald Trump for his "courageous and historic decision" to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Trump's decision to recoginze Jerusalem as Israel's capital was condemned internationally. Katz added visitors could see "the beating heart of the Jewish people: the Western Wall and the Temple Mount", and said the planned railway line extension was "most important national project in the transportation ministry". {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/27/israeli-minister-plans-name-western-wall-train-station-donald-trump |title = Israeli minister plans to name Western Wall train station after Trump |author = Peter Beaumont |pub = The Guardian |date = December 27, 2017 }}<!-- *{{source |url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/israel-minister-plans-trump-train-station-at-western-wall/2017/12/27/2f9b5c1e-eaeb-11e7-956e-baea358f9725_story.html?utm_term=.f72765a32879 |title = Israel minister plans Trump train station at Western Wall |author = |pub = The Washington Post |date = December 27, 2017 }}--> *{{source |url = http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/israel-minister-plans-trump-train-station-western-wall-52006399 |title = Israel minister plans Trump train station at Western Wall |author = Ilan Ben Zion |pub = ABC News (US) |date = December 27, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/israel-plans-to-name-new-western-wall-railway-station-after-donald-trump-1.450922 |title = Israel plans to name new Western Wall railway station after Donald Trump |author = Edward Rowe |pub = The Jewish Chronicle |date = December 27, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://www.timesofisrael.com/tel-aviv-jerusalem-train-will-reach-western-wall-report/ |title = Tel Aviv-Jerusalem train will reach Western Wall — report |author = |pub = The Times of Israel |date = November 1, 2016 }} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Jerusalem]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Transport]] [[Category:Tel Aviv]] [[Category:Middle East]] {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[nl:Katz: "treinstation vernoemen naar president Trump"]] [[Category:Acagastya (Reviewer)]] s0nm2re5ekzbgaj3zglxqqfu21f227n 0 2834522 5024807 4816130 2026-05-04T04:16:26Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024807 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|February 11, 2018}}{{India}} On Thursday, the {{W|Competition Commission of India}} (CCI), a government anti-trust watchdog, fined [[US]]-based [[internet]] technology company [[Google]], a subsidiary of Alphabet, Inc. [[Indian rupee|₹]]135.86 crore (about ₹1.36 billion, [[US$]]21 million) for manipulating their search results in favour of its products and syndicates, which affected business of rival companies. In the 190-page long decision, CCI said, "Google was leveraging its dominance in the market for online general web search, to strengthen its position in the market for online syndicate search services". In the ruling passed 4&ndash;2, the watchdog said, Google's "search bias" caused "harm to its competitors as well as to users". In 2012, {{W|Consumer Unity and Tests Society}} (CUTS), which is a non-profit organisation, and {{W|Bharat Matrimony}} filed a complaint against the search engine for manipulating the search results. Google is to pay the fine within 60 days. CCI had fined them five percent of the average profit Google made over three fiscal years due to its Indian user base. Per the law, CCI could have fined Google up to ten percent of the profit. Last year, Google was fined by the [[European Commission]] (EC) for favouring certain shopping services for the amount of €2.42 billion (about US$3 billion). That accounted for five percent of "average daily worldwide turnover of Alphabet", EC's official statement read. Google was also fined by [[Russia]]n Federation Antimonopoly Service for US$6.8 million in 2016 for favouring its own digital services. "Whilst finding Google to have abused its dominant position, the CCI has nonetheless exercised restraint in recognizing the dynamic nature of online markets and not found Google guilty of every allegation", Naval Shah, who was representing Bharat Matrimony from Shardul Amarchand law firm, told [[Reuters]] News agency. A Google spokesperson said, "We have always focused on innovating to support the evolving needs of our users. The Competition Commission of India has confirmed that, on the majority of issues it examined, our conduct complies with [[India]]n competition laws". {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/internet/cci-issues-order-against-google-for-search-bias/articleshow/62838992.cms |title = Google told to pay Rs 135.86 crore fine for abusing its power in India |author = |pub = The Economic Times |date = February 9, 2018 }} *{{source |url = http://www.cci.gov.in/sites/default/files/press_release/Press%20Release-%2007%20%26%20%2030%20of%202012_0.pdf |title = CCI issues order against Google for search bias, imposes penalty |author = |pub = Competition Commission of India |date = February 8, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idINKBN1FS2AD |title = India's antitrust watchdog fines Google for abusing dominant position |author = Aditya Kalra and Aditi Shah |pub = Reuters |date = February 8, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.seattletimes.com/business/indias-anti-trust-regulator-fines-google-for-search-bias/ |title = India's anti-trust regulator fines Google for 'search bias' |author = [[Associated Press|AP]] |pub = Seattle Times |date = February 8, 2018 }} *{{source |url = http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1784_en.htm |title = Antitrust: Commission fines Google €2.42 billion for abusing dominance as search engine by giving illegal advantage to own comparison shopping service |author = |pub = European Commission |date = June 27, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/12/business/international/google-fine-russia-antitrust-android.html |title = Google Fined for Breaking Russian Antitrust Rules With Android |author = Mark Scott |pub = The New York Times |date = August 11, 2016 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:India]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Internet]] [[Category:Google]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Economy and business]] [[Category:Antitrust]] o9xixl1kon796srapn8t0lv2yqrp5v4 0 2842983 5024809 4816919 2026-05-04T04:21:05Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024809 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 16, 2018}}{{Politics and conflicts}} On Sunday, [[Dublin]]'s Lord Mayor {{w|Mícheál MacDonncha}} spoke about not sending [[Ireland|Irish]] representatives to the next year's [[Eurovision Song Contest]], asserting [[Palestine]] solidarity. The announcement came just one day after [[Israel]]i singer {{w|Netta Barzilai|Netta}} won this year's Eurovision in [[Portugal|Portuguese]] capital [[Lisbon]]. Two [[European Parliament]] lawmakers from Ireland, Lynn Boylann and Nessa Childers, endorsed boycotting next year's contest. Speaking to news site ''Dublin Live'', MacDonncha said next year's contest should be boycotted to display solidarity with Palestineans. "I don't think we should send a representative", the mayor said. "I think the horrific ordeal of the Palestinian people needs to be highlighted", MacDonncha said. After winning this year's contest, 25-year-old Netta, who performed ''Toy'' featuring chicken dance, chicken noises, and [[Japan]]ese cultural references criticized as {{w|cultural appropriation}}, said, "Thank you for celebrating diversity. Thank you! I love my country. Next year in [[Jerusalem]]!" The country which wins the song contest hosts next year's iteration of Eurovision. Israel claims Jerusalem, including {{W|East Jerusalem}}. Palestine claims East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. {{W|Israel-Palestine conflict}} is on-going for years. Clashes between Israel and Palestine have happened several times. This Monday, more than 50 Palestine civilians were killed in Gaza in a clash against Israeli forces. Israeli Prime Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] in a [[twitter|tweet]] congratulated Netta after her victory and said, {{translated quote|he|Hebrew language|!נטע, את כפרה אמיתית. הבאת הרבה כבוד למדינת ישראל! לשנה הבאה ב|Netta, you are a real dear. You brought a lot of honour to the State of Israel! Next year in Jerusalem!}} Israel came to control East Jerusalem as a part of the 1967 {{W|Arab-Israel War}}. Legal sovereignty of Israel's claim of the entire city is not globally acknowledged. Until this Monday, no country in the world had its Israeli embassy in Jerusalem; On Monday, Israel's ally the [[United States]] shifted its embassy from [[Tel Aviv]] to Jerusalem. MacDonncha, speaking to ''Dublin Live'', said, "The Irish-Palestinean solidarity campaign has collected names of 500 artists who have said they would not work in the State of Israel, that they would boycott in the protest and the treatment of Palestinean people". At the time of the contest, Ireland regional lawmaker Órla Nic Biorna tweeted, "Shocked at the support for Israel tonight in the Eurovision. People seem to forget that they [Israel] are a {{wikt|Zionist}} state illegally occupying Palestine". Regarding hosting the contest in Jerusalem, European Parliament lawmaker Nessa Childers wrote on Twitter, "Jerusalem? The mind boggles. I thought Tel Aviv." Lynn Boylan of the [[Sinn Féin]] party tweeted saying, "Israel wins Eurovision so let's make BDS [{{w|Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions}}] more successful than ever in 2019." Lawmaker Emmett O'Brien replied to Boylan saying "So much pathetic hate against Israel" and later added, "How many times has Palestine been offered peace? Will you condemn the barbarity of [[Hamas]]?" MacDonncha is banned from entering Israel. Last month, the Israeli Interior ministry tried to bar MacDonncha's entry to Israel. The mayor was invited by the [[Palestinian Authority]] for a conference. However, reportedly the misspelt name of MacDonncha failed to bar him from arriving at Israeli capital Tel Aviv from which he went to [[Ramallah]] for the conference. Earlier, the Dublin city council passed a resolution to endorse and support the Palestine-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement. The resolution read, "Since its violent establishment in 1948 through the ethnic cleansing of more than half of the indigenous people of Palestine, the state of Israel has denied Palestinians their fundamental rights and has refused to comply with international law [...] this City Council fully supports and endorses the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement for freedom, equality, and justice." Dublin's mayor wasn't the only one to promote a boycott. [[Sweden|Swedish]] political party {{w|Vänsterpartiet}} {{w|Malmö}} released a statement boycotting the next year's Eurovision saying, {{translated quote|sv|Swedish language|Vi i Vänsterpartiet Malmö menar att det är av största vikt att göra allt för att fördöma de brott som Israel begår mot det palestinska folket. Vi uppmanar därför Eurovision Song Contest att bojkotta Israel. Det är fullständigt orimligt att Israel får arrangera denna gigantiska musiktävling samtidigt som ockupationen pågår. Vi vill att Israel utesluts från Eurovision på humanitära grunder. Vi kan inte fortsätta dansa samtidigt som övergreppen mot det palestinska folket fortsätter. Bojkotta Israel nu!|We in the Left Party of Malmö think it is vital to do everything to condemn the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. We therefore urge the Eurovision Song Contest to boycott Israel. It is altogether unreasonable for Israel to host this gigantic music contest while the occupation goes on.

After Adobe made the announcement via their official website, Adobe's stocks rose by around one percent, ending Monday extended trading at USD 238.10 per share. Magento provides services for the creation of digital ads and handling of online transactions. Magento's services are used by {{w|Nestlé}}, [[Coca-Cola]], {{w|Warner Music Group|Warner Music}}, and {{w|Canon Inc.|Canon}}. The acquisition, which is expected to take place in the third fiscal quarter of this year, is to be an all-cash deal. Adobe is to acquire Magento from {{w|Permira}} equity firm. In 2015, Permira bought Magento from [[eBay]], an eCommerce website. Adobe, in their official statement, said, "Magento Commerce Cloud will enable commerce to be seamlessly integrated into the Adobe Experience Cloud". Adobe also announced a buyback of shares worth USD eight billion by 2021. Magento's CEO Mark Lavelle said, "Adobe and Magento share a vision for the future of digital experiences that brings together Adobe's strength in content and data with Magento's open commerce innovation [...] We're excited to join Adobe and believe this will be a great opportunity for our customers, partners and developer community". After the announcement, stocks of Magento's competitors {{w|Shopify|Shopify, Inc}} dropped by about 4.8%.

Zimbabwe, which had been a member of the Commonwealth since its independence from British rule in 1980, had its membership suspended in 2002 for a disputed presidential election as well as cases of land grabbing from white farmers. Then Zimbabwean President [[Robert Mugabe]] withdrew the country from the bloc in 2003. Mugabe, who had been Zimbabwe's president since 1980, was overthrown by a ''de facto'' military coup in November 2017. In the application letter dated May 9, President Mnangagwa invited officials of the Commonwealth to observe the general elections in Zimbabwe which are scheduled to take place in July. British foreign secretary [[Boris Johnson]] [[twitter|tweeted]], "Zimbabwe must now show commitment to Commonwealth values of democracy and human rights". Patrica Scotland said, "Zimbabwe's eventual return to the Commonwealth, following a successful membership application, would be a momentous occasion, given our shared rich history". Currently, there are 53 nations in the Commonwealth. Previously, [[Ireland]] and [[Maldives]] had left the group in 1949 and 2016 respectively. No country has joined the bloc since [[Rwanda]] joined in 2009. Four former British territories &mdash; [[South Africa]], [[Pakistan]], [[Fiji]] as well as [[Gambia]] have re-joined the Commonwealth after quitting. Gambia rejoined in February, after five years. The then-President of Gambia [[Yahya Jammeh]] had left the Commonwealth in 2013. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/05/zimbabwe-applies-rejoin-commonwealth-180522062016470.html |title = Zimbabwe applies to rejoin Commonwealth |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = May 22, 2018 }} *{{source |url = http://thecommonwealth.org/media/news/zimbabwe-begins-process-re-join-commonwealth-observers-invited-july-elections |title = Zimbabwe begins process to re-join Commonwealth; observers invited to July elections |author = |pub = Commonwealth Secretariat |date = May 21, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.afp.com/en/news/23/zimbabwe-applies-rejoin-commonwealth-doc-1581v62 |title = Zimbabwe applies to rejoin Commonwealth |author = |pub = Agence France-Presse |date = May 21, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/article/us-zimbabwe-commonwealth/zimbabwe-applies-to-re-join-commonwealth-invites-poll-observers-idUSKCN1IM1JK |title = Zimbabwe applies to re-join Commonwealth, invites poll observers |author = |pub = Reuters |date = May 21, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/21/africa/zimbabwe-commonwealth-countries/index.html |title = Zimbabwe applies to re-join Commonwealth, 15 years after leaving |author = Bukola Adebayo |pub = CNN |date = May 21, 2018 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Zimbabwe]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Africa]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] glyqyyfdiivnq8zs7vwcbhzm414ecc6 0 2843615 5024812 4828790 2026-05-04T04:22:04Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024812 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|May 25, 2018}}{{United States}} On Wednesday, the [[US]] [[National Football League]] (NFL) announced adopting a new policy of fining the clubs if their athletes knelt during the national anthem. Per the policy, athletes who do not wish to stand for the anthem are now permitted to stay in the locker room. Under the new policy, the commissioner can "impose appropriate discipline on league personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem." According to commissioner {{W|Roger Goodell}}, in their meeting in [[Atlanta]] NFL owners reached a unanimous decision. In the statement, Goodell said, "It was unfortunate that on-field protests created a false perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic [...] This is not and was never the case." Per the earlier policy, athletes had to be present on the sidelines of the field during the anthem. Since 2016, when former {{W|San Francisco 49ers}} quarterback {{W|Colin Kaepernick}} started kneeling during the pre-match national anthem in a protest against racial discrimination, police brutality and shooting of African-Americans by policemen, multiple athletes have joined the protests taking a knee when the US national anthem &mdash; ''{{w|The Star-Spangled Banner}}'' &mdash; was played. Kaepernick then said, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour". The {{w|NFL Players Association}} said the NFL did not consult them before announcing the policy. The day before the NFL's statement, the clubs agreed to donate 90 million US dollars (USD) to initiatives for social justice. {{W|Eric Reid}}, a former teammate of Kaepernick who also took a knee during the national anthem, said, "I needed to use a platform to speak out for other people who didn't have a voice. So I joined Colin in protesting the issues in this country, which include police brutality, systemic oppression of black and brown people". He added, "This is not about disrespecting the military or the anthem. This is a way for me to bring awareness around these issues in our country." The new policy now allows the clubs to devise their own provisions for fining or suspending the players. {{W|New York Jets}}' chairperson {{W|Christopher Johnson}} said, "There will be no club fines or suspensions or any sort of repercussions. If the team gets fined, that's just something I'll have to bear." Owner of San Francisco 49ers {{W|Jed York}} abstained from voting for the NFL policy in Atlanta. Former US president [[Barack Obama]], in September 2016, said Kaepernick was "exercising his constitutional right". Current US president [[Donald Trump]], in September 2017, called the athletes who knelt during the national anthem unpatriotic and "disgraceful". Trump also said, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired.'" Regarding the new policy, {{W|Malcolm Jenkins}}, a defensive back for the {{W|Philadelphia Eagles}}, said, "What NFL owners did today was thwart the players' constitutional rights to express themselves and use our platform to draw attention to social injustices like racial inequality in our country. Everyone loses when voices get stifled." His teammate {{W|Chris Long}}, who donated USD one million to charity last season, wrote on [[Twitter]], "This is fear of a diminished bottom line. It's also a fear of a president turning his base against a corporation. This is not patriotism. Don't get it confused." Retired quarterback {{W|Sage Rosenfels}} tweeted saying, "I hope the NFL decides to completely stop all concession stand sales during the anthem as well. We wouldn't want people buying a $10 beer and an $8 hot dog during our sacred anthem. All TV camera crews must stop filming and direct attention at the flag too. Just seems fair." He later added, "Forced patriotism is the opposite of freedom." About the new policy, Trump told [[Fox News]], "You have to stand, proudly, for the national anthem or you shouldn't be playing. You shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country". The NFL Player's Association said the union will "review the new 'policy' and challenge any aspect of it that is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzZSOq17jGs |title = President Trump: NFL owners did the right thing |author = Fox News |pub = YouTube |date = May 24, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://twitter.com/JOEL9ONE/status/999408653445795840 |title = Chris Long on Twitter |author = Chris Long |pub = Twitter |date = May 23, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://twitter.com/SageRosenfels18/status/999346406686121984 |title = Sage Rosenfels on Twitter |author = Sage Rosenfels |pub = Twitter |date = May 23, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://twitter.com/SageRosenfels18/status/999333807957463040 |title = Sage Rosenfels on Twitter |author = Sage Rosenfels |pub = Twitter |date = May 23, 2018 }} *{{source |url = http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44230772 |title = NFL teams to be fined if players kneel during anthem |author = |pub = BBC News Online |date = May 23, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/05/23/nfl-national-anthem-policy-kneeling-protest/637050002/ |title = NFL's national anthem policy: Players on field must stand, show 'respect' |author = Lorenzo Reyes |pub = USA Today |date = May 23, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/05/23/nfl-players-executives-reaction-national-anthem-policy/638236002/ |title = NFL players, teams offer varying reactions to new national anthem policy |author = Steve Gardner |pub = USA Today |date = May 23, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/nfls-season-of-epic-resistance_us_5a734677e4b0e2d56b295b5b |title = How Colin Kaepernick's Peaceful Protest Awoke A Tide Of Activism Across The NFL |author = |pub = Huffington Post |date = February 2, 2018 }} *{{source |url = http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41407176 |title = Trump: NFL anthem kneeling protesters 'disgraceful' |author = |pub = BBC News Online |date = September 26, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ2bY__amkg&feature=youtu.be |title = Trump attacks NFL anthem protesters |author = The Guardian |pub = YouTube |date = September 23, 2017 }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/05/politics/barack-obama-colin-kaepernick/index.html |title = Obama: Colin Kaepernick 'exercising constitutional right' |author = Athena Jones and Tom LoBianco |pub = CNN |date = September 5, 2016 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:United States]] [[Category:National Football League]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Free speech]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] lkirm00f4eqcu7b5mdqj45gn9jh6uay 10 2844336 5024422 4738159 2026-05-03T22:22:26Z Koavf 5879 cat (via JWB) 5024422 wikitext text/x-wiki {{msgbox |border = rgb(255, 149, 0) |background = #FFE0B2 |message = A contributor has requested to protect this page, allowing only admins to edit it (not the talk page, of course), due to excessive disruption.

Uruguay 1&ndash;0 Saudi Arabia */ iwl 5024813 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|June 21, 2018}}{{2018 FIFA World Cup}} Yesterday<!--On Wednesday-->, day seven of the 2018 [[FIFA]] [[soccer|footall]] [[2018 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]], [[Portugal]] defeated [[Morocco]] 1&ndash;0, [[Uruguay]] defeated [[Saudi Arabia]] 1&ndash;0 and [[Iran]] lost 1&ndash;0 against [[Spain]] with goals from [[Cristiano Ronaldo]], [[Luis Suárez]] and [[Diego Costa]] respectively. With this victory, Uruguay and hosts [[Russia]] have qualified for the ''Last 16'' knockout phase. === Group B &mdash; Portugal 1&ndash;0 Morocco === Portugal faced Morocco in the first game of the day at [[Moscow]]'s {{w|Luzhniki Stadium}}. Morocco had better ball possession in the match. Morocco conceded a corner kick early in the first half in the 4th minute. Portugal's captain Cristiano Ronaldo scored a header from {{w|João Moutinho}}'s assist, giving Portugal an early lead. In the 9th minute, Ronaldo almost doubled the lead for Portugal, but his shot went wide to the left of the goal. Two minutes later, Morroco's captain {{W|Medhi Benatia}} got a chance to equalise, but his header was blocked. Morocco had multiple attempts to equalise but all missed or were blocked. Benatia was booked in the 40th minute for a bad foul. The first half ended with Portugal leading 1–0. In the second half, Ronaldo had another chance to double Portugal's lead but his shot missed the target. Though Morocco had several attempts for goal, Portugal's goalkeeper {{W|Rui Patricio}} managed not to let any goals in. The match finished 1–0 as Morocco fell to the bottom of the table, having lost both matches in this tournament and having zero points. After the match, Morocco's manager {{W|Herve Renard}} said, "We qualified for a World Cup after 20 years and we've showed that we can play football." Ronaldo was named Budweiser Man of the Match. He has scored four goals in this tournament. === Group A &mdash; Uruguay 1&ndash;0 Saudi Arabia === Uruguay faced Saudi Arabia at the {{W|Rostov Arena}} for the second match of the day. Uruguayan striker Suárez was playing his 100th international match for the country. Saudi Arabia had better ball possession in the match. Uruguay's [[Edinson Cavani]] missed a chance to open the scoring, with his left-footed shot going wide above the goal. In the 23rd minute, Suárez scored a close-range shot, assisted by {{W|Carlos Andrés Sánchez}}. Saudi Arabia's {{W|Taiseer Al Jassam|Taiseer Al Jassam}} was substituted just a few minutes before the end of the first half, due to injury. Uruguay missed out some opportunities to increase their lead in the second half but the first half goal by Suárez was sufficient for the South Americans to ensue three points at {{W|Rostov-on-Don}}. Suárez was named Budweiser Man of the Match award. He became the first Uruguayan to score goals in three FIFA World Cup tournaments. With this victory Uruguay and Russia mathematically secured their sports in the knockout phase of the tournament, while Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who are yet to face each other, are out of the competition. === Group B &mdash; Iran 0&ndash;1 Spain === Iran faced Spain in the last match of the day at the {{W|Kazan Arena}}. Spain had greater ball possession in the match. Spanish defender [[Gerard Piqué]] played his 100th international match for the country. In the first half, Gerard Piqué, {{W|Isco}}, {{W|David Silva}}, [[Dani Carvajal]] and Spanish captain [[Sergio Ramos]] had attempts for the goal as they had the ball for longer duration. Despite multiple attempts, the first half remained goalless. In the second half, [[Sergio Busquets]]' attempt was saved, as Alireza Beiranvand made a double-save.<!-- see the video --> The Spanish side finally got the lead when Diego Costa scored a goal in the 54th minute in the bottom left corner of the goal. Just at the one-hour mark, {{W|Mehdi Taremi}} missed the chance to equalise for Iran. In the 62nd minute, Iran managed to put the ball at the back of the net, but was ruled offside. Iran's {{W|Vahid Amiri}} was booked in the 79th minute for a bad foul. {{W|Omid Ebrahimi}} was also shown a yellow card in the injury time. The match ended with Spain winning three points and finishing at the top spot in the group table. After the match, Iran's manager Carlos Queiroz said, "We showed that we were ready to suffer and ready to compete [...] There's no doubt Spain play wonderful, stylish football but we deserved more for the way we played. [...] We will learn a lot from this game. If you think of it like tennis, we had one match point today and we will have another against Portugal. Everything is still open. We are still alive and still dreaming." Costa won the Budweiser Man of the Match award. With Spain's victory, Morocco also missed out the chance to advance to the next phase of the tournament. {{clear}} {{haveyoursay}} <center> '''Group A standings as of June 20, 2018''' {|

The bill was passed by a vote of 160&ndash;18. Per the bill, anyone found guilty of helping undocumented immigrants can potentially face a jail term of up to twelve months. The bill was criticised by human rights-focused organisation [[Amnesty International]], as well as the [[United Nations]] (UN), [[Council of Europe]], {{w|Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe}}, and [[European Union]]. The bill bars non-government organisations from aiding refugees. The bill is named after Hungarian-born democracy advocate {{W|George Soros}}. Having escaped the [[Holocaust]] and emigrated in 1947, Soros later founded the {{w|Open Society Foundations}} (OSF) which funds various NGOs. Current conservative Prime Minister [[Viktor Orban|Viktor Orbán]], who won the election in April, spoke about immigration and national security in his political campaign. Orbán accused Soros of bringing migrants to Europe. Orbán asserted this blockade was to preserve the country's "[[Christian]] culture". In May, Soros announced OSF was moving from Hungary to [[Germany|German]] capital [[Berlin]], asserting "increasingly repressive" condition in Hungary. Amnesty internationals's [[Europe|European]] Director {{W|Gauri van Gulik}} said in a statement, "It is a bitter irony that as the world marks World Refugee Day, the Hungarian Parliament voted [...] to introduce a law that targets organizations and individuals who support asylum-seekers, refugees and migrants". According to the UN, the law could come under effect as early as July. A constitutional amendment was also made, prohibiting "alien population" from living in the country. Hungary's Interior Minister, {{W|Sándor Pintér}}, said, "The Hungarian people rightfully expects the government to use all means necessary to combat illegal immigration and the activities that aid it". He also added, "The Stop Soros package of bills serves that goal, making the organisation of illegal immigration a criminal offence. We want to use the bills to stop Hungary from becoming a country of immigrants". On Tuesday, 25% taxation of NGOs helping immigrants was proposed by the finance ministry. The ministry, in a statement, said, "The defense against illegal immigration imposes a heavy burden on Hungary's budget, so it indirectly affects the Hungarian people [...] therefore, the government passes that as a manner of burden sharing, the organisations aiding migration should bear additional taxes." UNHCR ([[United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees]])'s European Bureau director Pascale Moreau said, "Seeking asylum is a fundamental human right, it is not a crime". {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://news.un.org/en/story/2018/06/1012722 |title = Hungary's laws on helping vulnerable foreigners are 'blatantly xenophobic': UN rights chief |author = |pub = United Nations |date = June 21, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/06/hungary-criminalises-aiding-migrants-stop-soros-bill-180620133647787.html |title = Hungary criminalises aiding migrants with 'Stop Soros' bill |author = Philip Heijmans |pub = Al Jazeera |date = June 20, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/20/hungary-passes-anti-immigrant-stop-soros-laws |title = Hungary passes anti-immigrant 'Stop Soros' laws |author = [[Reuters]] |pub = The Guardian |date = June 20, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/06/hungary-draconian-anti-ngo-law-will-be-resisted-every-step-of-the-way/ |title = Hungary: Draconian anti-NGO law will be resisted every step of the way |author = |pub = Amnesty International |date = June 20, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44082976 |title = George Soros: Foundation quits Hungary over 'repressive' policies |author = |pub = BBC News Online |date = May 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/orban-election-victory-gives-us-mandate-to-pass-stop-soros-laws |title = Orbán: election victory gives us mandate to pass 'Stop Soros' laws |author = Shaun Walker |pub = The Guardian |date = April 10, 2018 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Hungary]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:United Nations]] [[Category:Amnesty International]] [[Category:Viktor Orbán]] [[Category:Christianity]] [[Category:Human rights]] [[Category:Refugees]] [[Category:Council of Europe]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees]] 8ug4f4eofsxftjicj0t2hgxonw7k0mo 0 2847026 5024815 4817602 2026-05-04T04:25:54Z Acagastya 1526439 /* France v Argentina */ iwl 5024815 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|July 3, 2018}}{{2018 FIFA World Cup}} On Saturday, [[France]] defeated [[Argentina]] 4&ndash;3 and [[Uruguay]] defeated [[Portugal]] 2&ndash;1 in the [[FIFA]] [[soccer|football]] [[2018 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in the ''Last 16'' knockout phase. France is scheduled to play against Uruguay for the quarter-finals. == France v Argentina == France faced Argentina in the first match of the ''Last 16'' at the {{w|Kazan Arena}}. Argentina had greater ball possession. In the 11th minute, France was awarded a penalty kick after {{w|Marcos Rojo}} received a yellow card, bringing down {{w|Kylian Mbappé}} in the penalty area. [[Antoine Griezmann]] scored from the penalty giving the French side an early lead. In the 41st minute, {{w|Ángel Di María}} equalised for Argentina from outside the box, assisted by {{w|Éver Banega}}. The first half ended 1&ndash;1. In the second half, {{w|Gabriel Mercado}} scored the second goal for Argentina from [[Lionel Messi]]'s assist, putting the [[South America]]ns in the lead in the 48th minute. France equalised within ten minutes, when {{w|Benjamin Pavard}} scored a goal from outside the penalty area. In the 64th minute, Mbappé scored the third goal for France and four minutes later Mbappé netted the fourth goal, from [[Olivier Giroud]]'s assist. French midfielder [[Paul Pogba]] committed a foul in the injury time and Argentina won a free kick in the defensive half. [[Sergio Agüero]] scored the third goal for Argentina from Messi's assist. The match ended with France emerging the winners. Nineteen-year-old Mbappé became the first teenager to score two goals in the FIFA World Cup tournament since [[Brazil|Brazilian]] [[Pelé]] when he achieved the feat in 1958. He was named Budweiser Man of the Match. After the match, French coach {{w|Didier Deschamps}} said, "There is an excellent mentality in this group and we did everything to go further. Since I am responsible for everything, particularly when it doesn't go well, I'm very proud." After the match, Argentine defender {{w|Javier Mascherano}} announced retirement from international football. Mascherano has played 147 games for the country, which is a national record. == Uruguay v Portugal == Uruguay faced Portugal in the second match of the ''Last 16'' at [[Sochi]]. Portuguese captain [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] had an attempt for a goal in the 6th minute from {{w|Bernardo Silva}}'s assist, but it was saved. A minute later, Uruguayan striker [[Edinson Cavani]] scored a header from [[Luis Suárez]]'s assist, giving the South Americans an early lead. Just before the half-time whistle, Cavani had an opportunity to double the lead from {{w|Diego Godín}}'s assist but missed it. The first half ended with Uruguay leading 1&ndash;0. Ten minutes into the second half, [[Kepler Laveran de Lima Ferreira|Pepe]] equalised for Portugal, scoring a header from {{w|Raphaël Guerreiro}}'s assist. In the 62nd minute, Cavani scored a goal from {{w|Rodrigo Bentancur}}'s assist, restoring Uruguay's one-goal advantage. Cavani was later substituted off in the 74th minute due to injury. [[Ricardo Quaresma]]'s attempt for an equaliser in the injury time was saved and Uruguay won the match 2&ndash;1. After the match, Portugal's coach {{w|Fernando Santos}} said, "In football, there are no moral victories and I would have preferred to play worse and win the match. But I do feel that the second half was very good from us in terms of desire and our determination to score." Cavani was named Budweiser Man of the Match. France is to play Uruguay in the quarter-final. {{haveyoursay}} ---- {{footballbox| |date = June 30, 2018<br> 1700 {{w|Moscow Time|MSK}} (UTC+0300) |team1 = [[France]] |score = 4&ndash;3 |team2 = [[Argentina]] |report = (1&ndash;1) '''HT''' |goals1 = [[Antoine Griezmann]] {{goal|13|pen.}}<br>{{w|Benjamin Pavard}} {{goal|57}}<br>{{w|Kylian Mbappé}} {{goal|64}}<br>Kylian Mbappé {{goal|68}}<br>{{w|Blaise Matuidi}} {{yel|72}}<br>Benjamin Pavard {{yel|73}}<br>[[Olivier Giroud]] {{yel|90+3}} |goals2 = {{w|Ángel Di María}} {{goal|41}}<br>{{w|Gabriel Mercado}} {{goal|48}}<br>[[Sergio Agüero]] {{goal|90+3}}<br>{{w|Marcos Rojo}} {{yel|11}}<br>{{w|Nicolás Tagliafico}} {{yel|19}}<br>{{w|Javier Mascherano}} {{yel|43}}<br>{{w|Éver Banega}} {{yel|50}}<br>{{w|Nicolás Otamend}} {{yel|90+3}} |stadium = {{w|Kazan Arena}}, {{w|Kazan}}, [[Russia]] |attendance = 42,873 |referee = [[File:Flag of Iran.svg|border|30px|link=]] {{w|Alireza Faghani}} ({{w|Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran|Iran}}) }} ---- {{footballbox| |date = June 30, 2018<br> 2100 {{w|Moscow Time|MSK}} (UTC+0300) |team1 = [[Uruguay]] |score = 2&ndash;1 |team2 = [[Portugal]] |report = (1&ndash;0) '''HT''' |goals1 = [[Edinson Cavani]] {{goal|7}}<br>Edinson Cavani {{goal|62}} |goals2 = [[Kepler Laveran de Lima Ferreira|Pepe]] {{goal|55}}<br>[[Cristiano Ronaldo]] {{yel|90+3}} |stadium = {{w|Fisht Stadium}}, [[Sochi]], [[Russia]] |attendance = 44,287 |referee = [[File:Flag of Mexico.svg|border|30px|link=]] {{w|César Arturo Ramos}} ({{w|Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación|Mexico}}) }} == Related news == *{{wikinews|title=Argentine footballer Mascherano announces international retirement|date=July 1, 2018}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/match/300331537/#match-liveblog |title = 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia - Matches - France - Argentina |author = Adrien Gingold and Diego Zandrino |pub = FIFA |date = June 30, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C6oOcDFmLY |title = France v Argentina - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia - Match 50 |author = {{w|FIFA|FIFA}} |pub = YouTube |date = June 30, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44439354 |author = Patrick Jennings |title = World Cup 2018: France reach quarter-finals with 4-3 win over Argentina |pub = BBC Sport |date = June 30, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/match/300331544/#match-liveblog |title = 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ - Matches - Uruguay - Portugal |author = Florencia Simoes and Raquel Branco |pub = FIFA |date = June 30, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auqyXFLZ_zw&t=8s |title = Uruguay v Portugal - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia - Match 49 |author = {{w|FIFA|FIFA}} |pub = YouTube |date = June 30, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44439361 |title = World Cup 2018: Edinson Cavani's superb double sees Uruguay beat Portugal |author = Gary Rose |pub = BBC Sport |date = June 30, 2018 }} __NOTOC__ {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:France]] [[Category:Argentina]] [[Category:Uruguay]] [[Category:Portugal]] [[Category:Lionel Messi]] [[Category:Cristiano Ronaldo]] [[Category:Képler Laveran Lima Ferreira]] [[Category:Sergio Agüero]] [[Category:Russia]] [[Category:Football (soccer)]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:2018 FIFA World Cup]] [[Category:Football match reports]] [[Category:2018 FIFA World Cup match reports]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:South America]] [[Category:Antoine Griezmann]] [[Category:Paul Pogba]] [[Category:Sochi]] [[Category:Luis Suárez]] [[Category:Edinson Cavani]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Ricardo Quaresma]] [[Category:Southern Federal District]] [[Category:Volga Federal District]] 0msdqdd09fl8qi3nteo5nfken4u8imi 0 2847231 5024816 4816918 2026-05-04T04:26:14Z Acagastya 1526439 iwl 5024816 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|July 3, 2018}}{{LGBT}} On Saturday, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender ([[LGBT]]) Pride in the [[Ireland|Irish]] capital [[Dublin]] attracted a record number of people. According to the organisers of the Pride, about 60 thousand people attended the event, almost double the number of attendees in last year's Pride. [[File:Dublin Pride Parade 2018 42.jpg|left|thumb|Defence Forces attended the annual Pride in their military uniforms for the first time {{image|[[c:User:Smirkybec|Dr Rebecca O'Neill]]}} ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en CC BY-SA 4.0])]] For the first time, members of the Defence Forces attended the annual rally in their military uniforms, ''{{W|The Independent}}'' reported. The Defence Forces were led by Vice-Admiral {{W|Mark Mellett}}. This year's theme was "We Are Family". Buildings were decorated in the colours of the rainbow on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Dublin Pride. According to reports, ex-president {{W|Mary McAleese}} and children's minister {{W|Katherine Zappone}} had attended the Pride. "Happy Pride everyone! Have a great day celebrating equality, inclusiveness and love", Health Minister {{W|Simon Harris}} [[Twitter|tweeted]]. [[Homosexuality]] was decriminalised in the Irish Republic 25 years ago in 1993, and the marriage of same-sex couples was legalised in November 2015 after a nation-wide referendum. On June 19, Irish [[Taoiseach]] [[Leo Varadkar]], who is the country's first openly-gay Taoiseach addressed the {{W|Dáil}} saying, "Today the people I want to pay a special tribute to are the unknown heroes, the thousands of people whose names we do not know, who were criminalised by our forbears". Same-sex marriage is illegal in the neighbouring country of [[Northern Ireland]]. {{w|Mary Lou McDonald}}, leader of the [[Sinn Féin]] political party said, "We stand in solidarity to those in the North who are still struggling to have their families recognised in the most basic of ways - marriage equality". She added, saying, "The people here, the people of pride are an unstoppable force. Rights are for all. Equality is for all. Change is coming and make no mistake the North is next." {{Clear}} {{haveyoursay}} == Photo gallery == <gallery mode="packed-hover" widths="275px" heights="275px"> file:Dublin Pride Parade 2018

[[Soccer|football]] [[2018 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] quarter-finals and [[Brazil]] lost 1&ndash;2 against [[Belgium]]. With this defeat only countries from the {{w|UEFA}} Confederation are now remaining in the tournament. == France vs Uruguay == France faced Uruguay at the {{w|Nizhny Novgorod Stadium}}. The French side had better ball possession. Uruguayan striker [[Edinson Cavani]] was rested for the match and [[Luis Suárez]] faced his [[FC Barcelona]] teammate {{w|Samuel Umtiti}} in the quarter-final clash. Both the sides had early attempts to open the scoring. Uruguay blocked {{w|N'Golo Kanté}}'s 12th-minute attempt for a goal. Three minutes later, {{w|Kylian Mbappé}} missed a chance from [[Olivier Giroud]]'s pass to put France in the lead. In the 19th minute, [[Paul Pogba]] also had an attempt for goal but went wide. France opened the scoring in the 40th minute when [[Raphaël Varane]] scored a header from [[Antoine Griezmann]]'s assist. Minutes before the half-time, {{w|Hugo Lloris}} saved a shot preventing Uruguay from equalising, and {{w|Diego Godín}} missed a close-range shot. The first half ended with France having a one-goal lead. In the second half, just after the one-hour mark, Griezmann doubled the lead for France, scoring a goal from outside the penalty area from {{w|Corentin Tolisso}}'s assist. In the final ten minutes of the 90-minute play, French side made two substitutions, as {{w|Steven N'Zonzi}} and {{w|Ousmane Dembélé}} replaced Tolisso and Mbappé. The match ended 2&ndash;0. After the match, France's coach {{w|Didier Deschamps}} said, "We had done something big against Argentina and today we have again raised our level. I have a good team that still has plenty of room for improvement. You can see our lack of experience sometimes, but we have so many qualities too." Uruguayan coach {{w|Óscar Tabárez}} said, "The boys really gave everything, but France were able to control the match very well. After the second goal, there was a huge gap between the teams." With this victory, [[UEFA Euro 2016]]-finalists France reached the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup for the sixth time. == Brazil vs Belgium == Brazil faced Belgium at the {{w|Kazan Arena}}. After Uruguay's defeat against France, Brazil was the only South American nation left in the tournament. The South Americans had better ball possession.

Belgian defender {{w|Vincent Kompany}} missed a header in the 13th minute from {{w|Nacer Chadli}} assist, but Fernandinho scored an own goal, giving Belgium an early lead. A couple of minutes later, {{w|Gabriel Jesus}} had an attempt to equalise, from {{w|Neymar}}'s assist, but the shot was blocked. {{w|Marcelo Vieira|Marcelo}} also attempted for a goal in the 26th minute but was saved. In the 31st minute, {{w|Kevin De Bruyne}} scored from outside the penalty area, doubling the lead for Belgium, assisted by {{w|Romelu Lukaku}}.

Chadli was subbed off in the 83rd minute due to injury and was replaced by {{w|Thomas Vermaelen}}. Brazil tried to score an equaliser, but the match ended 2&ndash;1 as Belgium advanced to the semi-final. After the match, Belgium's coach {{w|Roberto Martinez}} said, "Brazil have so much finesse and you know that they can cut you open. But I didn't think for one second that the players would give up. They've done something special and I hope everyone in Belgium is very, very proud. It has created a nice memory and we should treasure it. But now we need more energy for our next game to try to make sure we're just as good in the semi-finals." Brazil's coach {{w|Adenor Bacchi|Tite}} said, ""I thought it was a great match and we had a lot of it, with plenty of possession and a lot of opportunities. But Belgium were more effective in converting their opportunities. They have a lot of top players and finished well. Thibaut Courtois also made a real difference. For all the pain I feel right now, if you like football, you have to watch this game. It's going to give you pleasure."

After the match, Belgian coach {{w|Roberto Martínez}} said, "It was a close game and it was very tight and it was going to be decided by that bit of luck in front of goal. The attitude of the players was brilliant and we couldn't ask for any more. We have to understand one team wins and the other loses, and we did what we could." French coach {{w|Didier Deschamps}} said, "The most important match is on Sunday, we have given ourselves a huge privilege to reach the final of the World Cup. I was there two years ago [Euro 2016 final] and it was so painful that we want to taste the victory now. It is nothing to win the semi-final after losing in the final two years ago, we have this privilege to give happiness to these people, but we will try to give even more happiness on Sunday."

In the sixth minute, French defender {{w|Samuel Umtiti}} won a free kick in the defensive half. In the 17th minute, Croatian midfielder {{w|Marcelo Brozović}} committed a foul and the referee awarded France a freekick. [[Mario Mandžukić]] ended up scoring an own goal from [[Antoine Griezmann]]'s assist, giving France an early lead. {{W|Domagoj Vida}} and [[Ivan Rakitić]] tried to equalise for Croatia, later, but their attempts were either blocked or went wide.

However, Croatia could not catch up the two-goal difference, and the match ended 4&ndash;2, as France won their second FIFA World Cup. French coach {{w|Didier Deschamps}} became only the third person to win the FIFA football World Cup as a player and a coach. As a player, Deschamps won the World Cup in 1998, when he was the captain of the French team.

After the match, Croatia's coach {{w|Zlatko Dalić}} said, "I congratulate France on their title [...] I have to congratulate my players, it was maybe the best game we played in these championships; we controlled the match but we conceded. Against such a strong side as France, you must not make mistakes. We are a bit sad but we have to be proud as well for what we've done." Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitić said, "We were the better team in the first half, we were attacking, but we were unlucky tonight. They scored four goals from their three shots on goal.

In the 26th minute, [[Toni Kroos]] tried a through ball but [[Marcelo Vieira]] was caught offside. Two minutes later, French defender [[Raphaël Varane]] committed a foul and brought down Barcelona's striker Luis Suárez in the penalty area.

This was Madrid's fourth defeat in the ten league games played so far this season. After the match, Real Madrid's captain Ramos said, {{translated quote|es|Spanish language|Es un momento difícil, tenemos que estar juntos y pasar página cuanto antes. Vamos a intentar mantener la cabeza fría y reflexionar. La clave del éxito está en la unión y ahora tenemos que juntar una buena racha de partidos.

We’ll try to keep a cool head and reflect. The key to success is in togetherness and we now have to put together a good run of results.

According to the organisers, <!-- see the mail --> over 550 LGBTI activists attended this year's conference for LGBTI equality and human rights in [[Europe]] and [[Central Asia]]. The conference commenced on Thursday, October 24. The theme of this year's conference was "Politics for Change", which according to the organisers was an "opportunity to put out a loud call for action towards politicians, institutions, partners and other allies". Three organisations &mdash; Arc-en-Ciel Wallonie, Çavaria, and RainbowHouse &mdash; helped to organise the conference, the first of its kind in the Belgian capital. On Thursday, Development Cooperation Minister of Belgium, {{W|Alexander De Croo}} announced pledging [[€]]500 thousand for LGBTI organisations working for the rights of LGBT+. In his speech, he said {{translated quote|nl|Dutch language|Ook in Europa is er nog steeds een kloof tussen de fundamentele rechten vastgelegd in wetten en de realiteit waarmee de LGBTI+ gemeenschap wordt geconfronteerd. LGBTI+ personen zijn nog te vaak het slachtoffer van discriminatie, hate speech en fysiek geweld. België is altijd één van de leidende landen geweest op het vlak van LGBTI+ rechten. We zullen die rol blijven opnemen, ook internationaal.|Even in Europe, there is still a gap between fundamental rights laid down in laws and the reality with which the LGBTI + community is confronted. LGBTI + persons are still too often the victim of discrimination, hate speech and physical violence. Belgium has always been one of the leading countries in the area of ​​LGBTI + rights. We will continue to take on this role, also internationally.}} Regarding the genital mutilation of {{W|intersex}} children, Yuri Guaiana, an [[Italy|Italian]] member of the association, told Gay News: {{translated quote|it|Italian language|Nonostante l'Europa occidentale sia uno degli angoli del mondo più avanzati in termini di diritti Lgbti, ci sono diverse questioni che si pongono, come ad esempio quelle relative alle mutilazioni dei bambini e delle bambine intersessuali.|Although Western Europe is one of the most advanced corners of the world in terms of LGBTI rights, there are several issues that arise, such as those relating to the mutilation of intersex children and girls.}} Guaiana went on to say, {{translated quote|it|Italian language|Solo Malta ha una legge che vieta simili interventi di vera e propria mutilazione, che non vanno considerati solo in funzione delle persone che li subiscono ma in base al loro portato di pregiudizio e binarismo di genere. Portato che investe nello specifico la classe medica, ma che va considerato anche nel quadro dell'opinione pubblica. Tenere alta l'asticella delle rivendicazioni è sicuramente uno modo per prepararci all'urto dell'ondata populista alle prossime europee.|Only [[Malta]] has a law that prohibits similar interventions of real mutilation, which should not be considered only as a function of the people who suffer them but on the basis of their gender bias and bias. This is achieved by investing specifically in the medical profession, but which must also be considered within the framework of public opinion.

According to the organisers, about 137 thousand people participated in the largest LGBT Pride of [[Asia]]. People marched with banners and placards which read "love is equal" and "vote for your happy future". Of the many attendees, {{w|Chi Chia-wei}} also participated in the parade. Civil rights activist Chi Chia-wei was first to come out as homosexual on Taiwan TV, in 1986. Pride attendees gathered near the President [[Tsai Ing-wen]]'s office where the Pride parade started. The attendees protested for education of same-sex marriage in schools. In May 2017, the Taiwanese court had ruled same-sex marriage as legal, and had set a two-year period for its legalisation including the time to amend the law, if required. With just six months remaining from the proposed deadline, some groups including some {{w|catholic}} churches have been pushing for preventing same-sex getting a legal recognition, saying marriage is "a bond between one man and one woman." Taiwan's court ruled Article 972 of Civil code "unconstitutional", which defined marriage only between opposite genders, but a separate public vote is scheduled to happen on November 24 regarding the law about same-sex marriage. During the LGBT Pride, drag queen Chin Kuang-chih said, "We hope the government will take the issue seriously. It's a pity that there has been no action after the court decision". At the scheduled deadline, same-sex marriage is to be automatically legalised if the government does not reach a conclusion about the law. Taiwan Pride was first organised in 2003. {{haveyoursay}} == Photo gallery == <gallery mode="packed-hover" widths="275px" heights="275px"> File:來自新加坡的參與者.jpg|{{image|[[commons:User:Winnie Chloé

"The Australian government has decided that Australia now recognises West Jerusalem, as the seat of the [[Knesset]] and many of the institutions of government, is the capital of Israel", Morrison said in a speech. Currently, the Australian embassy in Israel is situated in [[Tel Aviv]]. Israel claims the entire city of Jerusalem to be its capital; while [[Palestine]] claims part, {{w|East Jerusalem}}, as its own territory and the capital of the proposed future state. Israel came to control East Jerusalem as part of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Jerusalem is considered a holy city by three major Abrahamic religions: [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]]. Spokesperson of the Israeli Embassy in Australia Eman Amasha issued a statement on Sunday saying "Israel views the decision of Australian Government to open its Trade and Defence Office in Jerusalem as a step in the right direction." Despite recognising West Jerusalem as Israeli capital, Morrison said the Australian Embassy would not be relocated to West Jerusalem until the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was resolved by a two-state solution. "We look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem, when practical, in support of and after a final status determination [...] We've decided to start the work there now, to identify a suitable site for an Australian embassy in West Jerusalem", Morrison added. Morrison also said, "A two-state solution remains the only viable way to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian dispute". [[Saeb Erekat]], a senior Palestinian official, said, "The policies of this Australian administration have done nothing to advance the two-state solution". Senator [[Penny Wong]] of the opposition {{W|Australian Labor Party|Labor Party}} in Australia said "Recognising West Jerusalem as Israel's capital, while continuing to locate Australia's embassy in Tel Aviv, is nothing more than a face-saving exercise that shows Mr Morrison continues to put self-interest ahead of the national interest. This is a decision which is all risk and no gain. It is a reckless move by a desperate and divided government that satisfies no one." Another opposition leader [[Bill Shorten]] said he was worried the Prime Minister "put his political interest ahead of our national interest". [[Malaysia]] and [[Indonesia]], two Muslim-majority neighbouring nations of Australia, responded to the decision. The Foreign Ministry of Malaysia released a statement which read: "Malaysia strongly opposes the decision by the government of Australia to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel". It went on to say: "Malaysia firmly believes that this announcement, made before the settlement of a two-state solution, is premature and a humiliation to the Palestinians and their struggle for the right to self-determination." Malaysia, which has been Australia's free trade partner for almost six years now, emphasised on a two-state solution and concluded by saying "Malaysia will continue to work closely with all partners to find a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the conflict." Speaking about Australian government's announcement, Malaysian Prime Minister [[Mahathir Mohamad]] said, "Jerusalem has always been under Palestine, so why are they [Australia] taking the initiative to divide Jerusalem [as it is] not belonging to them, but to divide the Arabs and the Jews? They have no rights". The Indonesian Foreign Ministry's statement said: "Indonesia calls on Australia and all member states of the UN [&zwj;[[United Nations]]&zwj;] to promptly recognise the State of Palestine and to co-operate towards the attainment of sustainable peace, and agreement between the state of Palestine and Israel based on the principle of two-state solution." Saeed Abu Ali, the Arab League's Assistant Secretary General for Palestine and the Occupied Arab Territories, called Morrison's decision "blatantly biased toward the positions and policies of the Israeli occupation." Previously, in September, Saeed Abu Ali praised [[Paraguay]]'s decision to move its embassy back from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv as on the "right track". Last year, the [[United States]], and [[Guatemala]] declared recognition of Jerusalem in its entirety as Israel's capital. Paraguay followed the decision of the US and Guatemala, moving its embassy to Jerusalem, but, then-new President {{w|Mario Abdo Benítez}} reversed the decision. Paraguayan Foreign Minister Luis {{w|Luis Castiglioni}} said, "Paraguay wants to contribute to an intensification of regional diplomatic efforts to achieve a broad, fair and lasting peace in the Middle East". Following Benítez's decision, Israel announced closing its embassy in Paraguay and recalling its ambassador from Paraguay. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|Guatemalan president Jimmy Morales announces move of Israeli embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem|December 25, 2017}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://dfat.gov.au/trade/agreements/in-force/mafta/Pages/malaysia-australia-fta.aspx |title = Malaysia-Australia FTA |author = |pub = Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade |date = December 17, 2018 (date of access) }} *{{source |url = https://twitter.com/MalaysiaMFA/status/1074101117582159872 |title = Wisma Putra on Twitter |author = Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs |pub = Twitter |date = December 16, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/malaysian-government-slams-australia-s-west-jerusalem-decision-20181216-p50mko.html |title = Malaysian government slams Australia's West Jerusalem decision |author = James Massola and Karuni Rompies |pub = The Sydney Morning Herald |date = December 16, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/12/malaysia-slams-australia-decision-jerusalem-181216052655431.html |title = Malaysia slams Australia's decision on Jerusalem |author = |pub = Al Jazeera |date = December 16, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.facebook.com/IsraelinAustralia/photos/pb.133849703326084.-2207520000.1545035122./2240477479329952 |title = Official Statement from the Embassy of Israel on Prime Minister Morrison’s Statement of 15 December 2018. |author = Embassy of Israel |pub = Facebook |date = December 15, 2018<!-- facebook publish date --> }} *{{source |url = https://twitter.com/SenatorWong/status/1073843049715752962 |title = Senator Penny Wong on Twitter |author = Penny Wong |pub = Twitter |date = December 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/australia-recognizes-west-jerusalem-as-the-capital-of-israel/ |title = Australia recognizes west Jerusalem as the capital of Israel |author = |pub = CBS News |date = December 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/15/australia/israel-capital-west-jerusalem-australia-intl/index.html |title = Australia recognizes West Jerusalem as capital of Israel |author = Bex Wright, Hamdi Alkhshali and Andrew Carey |pub = CNN |date = December 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-australia-idUSKBN1OE02I |title = Australia recognizes west Jerusalem as Israel's capital, embassy not moving yet |author = |pub = Reuters |date = December 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/australia-officially-recognizes-west-jerusalem-as-israel-s-capital-1.6745671 |title = Australia: We Recognize West Jerusalem as Israel's Capital |author = [[The Associated Press|AP]] |pub = Haaretz |date = December 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/critics-take-aim-at-rookie-call-after-pm-confirms-israel-policy-tilt-20181215-p50mi0.html |title = Critics take aim at 'rookie' call after PM confirms Israel policy tilt |author = David Crowe, James Massola |pub = The Sydney Morning Herald |date = December 15, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.voanews.com/a/arab-league-welcomes-paraguay-embassy-move-out-of-jerusalem/4560271.html |title = Arab League Welcomes Paraguay Embassy Move Out of Jerusalem |author = [[The Associated Press|AP]] |pub = Voice of America |date = September 6, 2018 }} *{{source |url = https://www.voanews.com/a/paraguay-moves-embassy-out-of-jerusalem/4559108.html |title = Paraguay Moves Embassy Out of Jerusalem |author = |pub = Voice of America |date = September 5, 2018 }} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Palestine]] [[Category:Jerusalem]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Israel/Palestine Conflict]] [[Category:Islam]] [[Category:Judaism]] [[Category:Bill Shorten]] [[Category:Malaysia]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Saeb Erekat]] [[Category:Penny Wong]] [[Category:Mahathir Mohamad]] [[Category:Scott Morrison]] pxx39vnq5fa1cumr6jadpdf4ocu8aqd 2 2873200 5024350 5019043 2026-05-03T18:43:48Z Acagastya 1526439 update links 5024350 wikitext text/x-wiki This is the last 10 articles in the "[[:Category:Articles not disputed|Articles not disputed]]" category.

The red trajectory is of the black hole. The two stars are located in the {{w|Telescopium constellation}} and visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]]/L. Calçada}}]] A study published in journal ''{{w|Astronomy & Astrophysics}}'' last month reported [[astronomy|astronomers]] from the [[European Southern Observatory]] (ESO) and elsewhere discovered a [[black hole]] in the {{w|Telescopium constellation}}. The study stated the black hole is about 1010 ± 195 {{w|light year|light years}} (310 ± 60 {{w|parsec}}) away from the {{w|Solar System}}, meaning it is the nearest known black hole from the [[Earth]]. The nearest previously known black hole &mdash; {{w|V616 Mon}} &mdash; the study noted was usually estimated at more than 3000 light years away. The black hole described in the study is located in the {{w|HR 6819}} {{w|stellar system}} of Telescopium constellation, making it the first system visible to the {{w|naked eye}} to contain a black hole. HR 6819 contains two stars, and they are visible from the {{w|Southern Hemisphere}}. The astronomers started observing the system in 1999. Initially, they thought it was just a binary system, consisting of two stars. However, upon examination, the researchers concluded there was a third unseen object in the system. One of the two stars in the HR 6819 system is close to the black hole and orbits the black hole in just 40.333 ± 0.004 days. [[File:Black hole - Messier 87 crop max res.jpg|left|thumb|A supermassive black hole at the centre with matter around it forming an {{w|accretion disk}}. {{image|paren=true|{{w|Event Horizon Telescope}}}}]] This newly discovered black hole does not have an {{w|accretion disk}}. A black hole forms an accretion disk when a significant amount of matter orbits the black hole, as depicted in the image. Accretion disks often emit {{w|electromagnetic}} {{w|electromagnetic radiation|radiation}}. Since this black hole does not have an accretion disk, researchers had to rely on the gravitational effect of the black hole on the nearby star in order to discover it. [[File:Portrait of Thomas Rivinius.png|thumb|Researcher Thomas Rivinius discussed the findings of this study with ''Wikinews''. {{image|paren=true|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] Researchers used the {{w|binary mass function}} to conclude the black hole had a mass of at least 4.2 M_☉ ({{w|solar mass|Solar masses}}; 1 Solar mass = mass of the Sun). Its companion star, which orbits the black hole in about 40 days, is classified as a {{w|B3 III star}}. The outer star is classified as a {{w|Be star}}. Be stars rotate very quickly around their axes. Since the outer star rotates so rapidly, the star is not exactly spherical, but instead {{w|Oblate spheroids|oblate}}, bulged at its equator, forming a gas disk around the equator. The research suggested HR 6819 was very similar to another system {{w|LB-1}}. The HR 6819 system is estimated to be between 15&ndash;75 million years old ({{w|myr}}). The inner star has estimated mass of at least 6.3 ± 0.7 M_☉. Using the mass and the speed at which the inner star rotates, the researchers concluded the black hole had an estimated mass of 5.0 ± 0.4 M_☉. Researcher and co-author of the study Thomas Rivinius told ''Wikinews'' the inner star and the black hole are closer than the Sun and the Earth (1{{w|astronomical unit|au}}; 150 million km; 93 million {{w|mile|miles}}). The researchers dedicated the paper to Stanislav Štefl, one of the fellow researchers who died in a car accident in 2014 in [[Santiago]], [[Chile]]. ''Wikinews'' caught up with Thomas Rivinius to discuss about this discovery. {{clear}} == Interview with Thomas Rivinius == <!-- 00:08 --> {{WNI first question}} '''Thank you agreeing for this discussion by the way.''' {{clear}} <!-- 00:16 --> [[File:Starlight shines brightly above Paranal.tif|270px|thumb|The telescope is a part of [[Very Large Telescope]] Interferometer (VLTI).

And about the future investigations.''' <!-- 00:27 --> {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah, well yes, do you have any specific question? I mean, the future investigation is to make sure that it really is a [[black hole]] and we will probably do that by means of {{w|Interferometry}}. What we ultimately want to get is: you probably have seen the animation, it is a sequence of images that looks like this animation. The two {{w|star|stars|foreign=suppress}} moving around: not around each other, but with a third object. <!-- 01:05 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What prompted your interest in astronomy?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Oh, astronomy in general. That is very long. You see, when I was maybe ten years old, I was already very interested in [[astronomy]] and started observing from backyard with a {{w|small telescope}}. It's actually that got me into [[physics]] and [[mathematics]], and then I studied physics. There was a time I was not sure if I would end up in astronomy or {{w|particle physics}} or something else. But in the end, I always decided to continue the astronomy path. <!-- 01:43 --> [[File:Alpha, Beta and Proxima Centauri (1).jpg|thumb|250px|The two bright starts are {{w|Alpha Centauri}} on the left and {{w|Beta Centuari}} on the right which is a binary system. {{image|paren=true|[[w:User:Skatebiker|Skatebiker]]}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Could you briefly explain this discovery and its findings?''' <!-- 01:50 --> [[File:Achernar.svg|left|thumb|Depiction of a Be star. Be stars rotate so quickly that they bulge at the equator, forming an egg-shaped structure and gas disk at the centre.{{image|paren=true|[[c:User:Fred the Oyster|Fred the Oyster]]}}]] {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, it is a long story indeed. Because originally we thought it was a {{w|binary star}} &mdash; just two objects &mdash; not three. And that would have been interesting because these two stars are similar in many senses. Like they have a similar mass. They are similarly old. They are consequently of similar temperature, et cetera. But in one aspect they are very different. Namely, one is rotating very very fast. It is a so-called {{w|Be star}}. Which means it is rotating so fast that it is almost flying apart. There's actually material flowing off the equator. And the other is rotating rather slowly. So the original investigation was to figure out why two stars, that are so similar &mdash; that must have formed together &mdash; why they would be they so different. And now this is not something we could answer in the end because the distant system is of a different structure. But instead we found that it is of a different structure and there are three objects, but only two of them visible. And that means, if you put the data we get into {{w|Kepler's laws of planetary motion|Kepler's laws}} and {{w|Newton's law of universal gravitation|Newton's laws about gravity}} and the rotation, you find that the third object must be very massive. And if you don't see it but it is very massive, that means it cannot be a star. {{WNIQ}} '''And that is how you concluded it was a black hole?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Yes. How we concluded it's a black hole is we derive the mass from these {{w|Issac Newton|Newton}}'s and {{w|Johannes Kepler|Kepler}}'s laws. And then we see if, given the quality of data we have, if it would be possible to detect the star with such a mass. And we went through several options down to the faintest possible stars we could imagine, with such a mass, and there is no such object. Our data is good enough that we would have seen such a thing. And therefore, if it is {{wikt|nonluminous|not luminous}}, it must be a black hole. <!-- 04:11 --> {{multiple image | footer = | image1 = Wide-field view of the region of the sky where HR 6819 is located.jpg | width1 = 210 | width2 = 165 | caption1 = A wide-field view shows the region of the sky, in the constellation of Telescopium, where {{w|HR 6819}} can be found. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]], {{w|International Astronomical Union|IAU}} and {{w|Sky & Telescope}}}} | image2 = Location of the HR 6819 in the constellation of Telescopium.tif | caption2 = The {{w|Telescopium constellation}}. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]], {{w|International Astronomical Union|IAU}} and {{w|Sky & Telescope}}}} }} {{WNIQ}} '''What drew the team's attention to this stellar system, {{w|HR 6819}}, in the {{w|Telescopium constellation}}?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well in the first place, because it was in a catalogue of these extraordinarily rapidly rotating stars: the Be stars. They are really so rapidly rotating that they are {{w|Oblate shape|oblate}}. They are not round, not {{w|spherical}} anymore, but they are oblate. And they have a gas disk that is flowing off the equator because they rotate almost at {{w|Glossary of astronomy|anchor=critical velocity|critical [velocity]}}. And that is basically my research, in what is forming this. <!-- 04:51 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Why did the team start observing HR 6819 specifically?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} As I said, because it's a Be star. There are about 100&ndash;200 Be stars which are of that brightness. And maybe 150 visible from the southern {{w|La Silla Observatory|observatory of La Silla}}. And so over the many years, we have taken, not all, but a fair fraction of them, and we started off with relatively few {{w|spectrum|spectra}}, with only ten spectra. And with this, we slowly sought our way through which are interesting and which are not and at some point, this [system HR 6819] did strike us interesting because we thought it was binary. <!-- 05:37 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And when did the research team start observing?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} The first observations, these few spectra were taken 1999. And the second set of spectra was taken 2004. <!-- 05:56 --> [[File:Artist's impression of dust formation around a supernova explosion.tif|thumb|A {{w|supernova}} explosion often takes place when a {{w|massive star}} dies. It is one of the stages of a {{w|Stellar evolution|star's life cycle}} {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]]/M. Kornmesser}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What was the most fascinating aspect of this finding?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, for me, it's the realisation that black holes are very common. I mean, I knew the numbers: that you get about one black hole per thousand stars. But that actually means there must be some black holes rather nearby. And originally, you would expect most of them single, so that you would never find them, because they are very small, very black. Nothing to see there. But when they are in a multiple system, then you can see them through their gravitational influence on the other stars. And, so that basically was, I think, the best finding, that it is a multiple system &mdash; a stable multiple system. Many stars are in multiple systems. But when a black hole is formed via {{w|supernova}}, you would actually think that many of these systems get destroyed: disrupt[ed] by the explosion. This did not happen. <!-- 07:02 --> [[File:Dopplerfrequenz.gif|left|thumb|Visualisation of {{w|doppler effect}} for the {{w|sound wave}} of a car's horn. {{image|paren=true|[[c:User:Charly Whisky|Charly Whisky]]}}]] [[File:Eclipsing binary system in Orion.tif|thumb|Optical {{w|spectroscopy}} of a binary stellar system. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory]]}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What technologies were used for this discovery?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} {{w|Spectroscopy}}. In other words, spectroscopy is a technology by which you spread the light, you resolve the light into the individual {{w|wavelength|wavelengths}}. And then you can see the signature of the chemical elements as they form in the star. And these signatures &mdash; you usually assume they have a fixed wavelength. If you observe them at a slightly different wavelength, this is due to the {{w|doppler effect}}. And so with this doppler effect, we could see that one of the stars was moving, not at a constant speed, but it was moving back and forth with a relatively high velocity. Amplitude of 60{{w|kilometre|km}}/s [about 37 {{w|mile|miles}} per {{w|second}}]. And a long {{w|Orbital period|period}} of 40 {{w|Astronomical system of units|anchor=Astronomical unit of time|days}}. [[File:The radial velocity method (artist’s impression).jpg|left|thumb|The radial velocity method to detect exoplanet. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory]]}}]] As I said, with the combination of Kepler's and Newton's law that is called the {{w|Binary mass function|[binary] mass function}}, you can use these numbers to get a mass of what it must orbit about. It's a principle, the same technology we use for finding planets, which is called {{w|Radial velocity method|radial velocity technique}}. <!-- 08:18 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How did ''you'' get involved in this study?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} From the very beginning. As I said, I was interested in Be star[s]. Actually most of the team [...] We were originally arranging this observations of many Be stars and it just turned out this one was particular very interesting. {{multiple image | footer = | image1 = ESO 1.52-m telescope.tif | width1 = 144 | width2 = 132 | caption1 = The ESO 1.52m telescope. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]]}} | image2 = Lso-eso-mpg-2p2-96.jpg | caption2 = The ESO 2.2m telescope {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]]}} }} <!-- 08:44 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Apart from [the] European Southern Observatory, which other observatories were involved in this discovery?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Uh, none. So only European Southern Observatory plus the observatory at La Silla. Two different telescopes. <!-- 08:59 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Okay. Which were the two telescopes?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} The 1.52 and 2.2{{w|meter|m}}. The point is we always use the same instrument but it was moved at some point from ESO 1.52 to the 2.2m of the {{w|Max Planck Society}}. <!-- 09:17 --> [[File:Aerial view of La Silla (annotated).tif|left|250px|thumb|Aerial view of La Silla Observatory. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory]]}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Were all the observations made from the La Silla Observatory?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} From La Silla not. There ''are'' other observations available, but we have not used them yet in this study. There are observations available that were made by {{w|amateur astronomers}}, there's a data based of amateur spectroscopy, there are observations in the archives that were made from the {{w|Paranal Observatory}}. So at some point, we are going to look at all those observations, but for the discovery purpose, we only used the observations that were taken from La Silla. <!-- 09:53 --> {{multiple image | align = right | direction = horizontal |footer = Three of the co-authors of this study. | image1 = Petr Hadrava ASÚ foto Stanislava Kyselová, AV ČR.jpg | width1 = 140 | alt1 = Portrait of Petr Hadrava | caption1 = Portrait of Petr Hadrava. {{image|paren=true|[[c:User:Akademie věd České republiky|Akademie věd České republiky]]}} | image2 = Marianne Heida.jpg | width2 = 122 | alt2 = Portrait of Marianne Heida. | caption2 = Portrait of Marianne Heida. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory]]}} | image3 = Dietrich Baade.tif | width3 = 135 | alt3 = Portrait of Dietrich Baade. | caption3 = Portrait of Dietrich Baade. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory]]}} | image4 = Robert Klement.jpg | width4 = 180 | alt4 = Portrait of Robert Klement. | caption4 = Portrait of Robert Klement. {{image|paren=true|{{w|ResearchGate}}}} }} {{WNIQ}} '''How many people were involved in this discovery?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Right now the paper has I think five co-authors. And there is a sixth person, Stan Štef, who some years ago died in a car accident. And I believe &mdash; the paper is dedicated to him. He is not on the co-author list because this particular paper was written completely new. And if he never had a chance to actually even read the draft, then someone should not be co-author. <!-- 10:30 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What were the roles of the people involved in the discovery?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Marianne Heida and Dietrich Baade were the ones that originally triggered the idea. Well, it's a long study because originally, we studied if for a different purpose. In this different purpose, it was me, Dietrich Baade, and Petr Hadrava. And we wanted to study it as a binary. Robert Klement was a student of Petr Hadrava and he then also later and now assisted in the study of binary parameters. And Marianne Heida is an expert on X-ray binaries, which have a lot of black holes. So she was originally putting us on the track by presenting another paper on a black hole. <!-- 11:29 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What was the timeline of this study?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, it took 20 years, as I said; we started observing in 1999. This is a typical scientific discovery: you find something you are not looking for. [[File:Stanislav Štefl.jpeg|thumb|Stanislav Štefl was one of the researchers on this study. Štefl died in a car crash in 2014 in [[Santiago]], [[Chile]]. The authors of this research dedicated the paper to Stanislav Štefl. {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory]]}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Which activity took the most time and attention?''' <!-- 11:53 --> {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, what took the most time was basically to realise that there is something that unusual in it. As I said, we originally thought it was something different. And then analysed it. Found it was not what we had expected and so on and all that drags it out. And then of course there's that Stan Štefl was a major driver in the study. He died in 2014 which basically stalled the study after that until now. It was now that we picked it out because there was another paper appearing on a similar object, which, looking at that paper, I realised that HR 6819 must be of the same type. <!-- 12:38 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What was the most difficult part of this investigation?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} As it basically is for any investigation: you very early on have an idea what it might be. And it is always, the most difficult part is to always to make it sure in such a way that also the colleagues would believe it. You have to explore any other options, any possibilities and exclude them one-by-one. <!-- 13:07 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What was your first reaction when confirming the unseen member of the triplet was a black hole?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well it depends. I mean, the first suggestion that it was a black hole surfaced in 2010. But then we were very cautious. Because we were not quite sure. At that point we hadn't really excluded everything else. And so, this was a very cautious time. And then Stan died, but when I looked at it back in 2019, I managed to convince myself relatively quickly now, whatever I had learned in the past six years. {{WNIQ}} '''How old is this system?''' <!-- 13:56 --> {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Judging from the two other stars that still exist in there, these two other stars must [be] between 15 and 70 million years old ({{w|myr}}). Probably closer to the high upper end. Probably closer to 70 million years. That is probably the age of the system. {{WNIQ}} '''How rare is the occurrence of the stellar systems with black holes?''' <!-- 14:21 --> {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, when we are talking about black holes of the {{w|stellar mass}}, not [[supermassive black holes]] like are in the hearts of the galaxies, only 50 of them are known. And most of them are in binaries. Because, as I say, a single black hole is almost impossible to find. It is, however, one of the first we are certain of, or at least the one we are most certain that it is not in binary &mdash; one companion &mdash; but a triple, with two companions. <!-- 14:59 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How different are the stellar systems with black holes as compared to the ones without it?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, black hole is the end phase of the {{w|stellar evolution}}. So every triple system that has a star with higher than 12 solar masses, at some point must have a supernova explosion that results in either a {{w|neutron star}} or a black hole. The question is not &mdash; these progenitor systems, they are very abundant, they exist everywhere. The question is how frequently they survive these explosions. That is something completely unknown. But I suspect there are quite many of them. <!-- 15:43 --> [[File:Accretion disk.jpg|left|thumb|Artistic depiction of a black hole devouring on a nearby star. {{image|paren=true|ESA, NASA, and Felix Mirabe}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''This black hole does not have an accretion disk. What does this tell us about the system?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Not very much. It will eventually acquire an accretion disk. The two other stars are not very evolved. They are still small and compact. As soon as they start evolving &mdash; in particular, the inner one &mdash; it will grow, and once it has grown enough, the black hole will start to accrete from it. But there is a couple of million years to go still, at least. <!-- 16:15 --> [[File:Artist's animation of the triple system with the closest black hole.webm|300px|thumb|Artist's animation of HR 6819. The red-coloured trajectory shows the motion of the black hole. {{image|paren=true|ESO/L. Calçada}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Tell us about the orbits of the two stars in HR 6819.''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well the inner orbit is relatively fast. It's 40 days. That's not an unusual {{w|orbital period}}, for two stars. But, the amplitude is very high: the speed with which they orbit each other is high: it is 60&nbsp;km/s. And together with the 40 days, that makes a minimum mass of the other object. The outer orbit we don't know. It is ''very'' far away. It's probably, judging from the similarity to other systems [...], it is probably several decades. It could be even long[er]. {{WNIR}} '''How close do these stars get?''' <!-- made a blunder, stop here --> {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Since the orbit is circular, they will always stay at the same distance &mdash; at least the inner two, the black hole and the other star. For now, they will stay at the same distance. They will not get closer or farther from each other. They are about as far as, closer than the {{w|Sun}} and the [[Earth]] (1{{w|astronomical unit|au}}, 150 million km (93 million miles). The precise value is not known because it depends on the {{w|inclination angle}} of the system: whether we see the system edge-on, or whether we see it face-on. <!-- 17:47 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Is the black hole assigned an official name?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} For naming, naming is the job of {{w|International Astronomical Union}}. So. Traditionally you would call it as Component A, Component B, Component Aa: something like that. But even that, I am not entirely sure how that would go. Because whether you do this by mass, or sometimes you call the "A" which the most massive, sometimes you call "A" which is the most brightest, so. <!-- 18:23 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Does the team refer to the name by an unofficial name?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} No. Not really. <!-- 18:34 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the properties of this black hole?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah, black holes don't really have properties. It's mass. That's it. It has at least the mass of 4.3 Solar [Mass], which means it has a diameter of maybe about 30&nbsp;km (18.64 miles). That's about it. There's not many more properties a black hole can have. {{WNIQ}} '''When I asked about the properties of the black hole, I was hoping you would remark on the spin, {{w|Swartzchild radii}} and the charge.''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} The radius is about 15&nbsp;km (9.3 miles), as I said. Nothing is known about spin or charge, but it is likely that charge is zero or close to that. <!-- 19:03 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What do we know about the history of this black hole?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Only that it comes from a supernova, and that the triple system still survives. That is basically telling us something about the explosion must have been symmetric in a sense. Because if it had been asymmetric, the system would have been disrupted. <!-- 19:30 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What are the affects of the black hole on the star closer to it?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} None. It's pulling &mdash; the gravity &mdash; but another star would just pull the same. So it has no radiation. It has not accrete. It is only forcing it into an orbit. Nothing else. <!-- 19:52 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What were the challenges the team faced to discover this black hole?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, as I said before, it is basically to make sure that you have excluded all other options. It's really: science is really about excluding the alternatives and, so that finally only one possibility remains. [[File:Computer rendering of an accretion disk of a black hole.png|thumb|A computer simulation of a black hole with an accretion disk. {{image|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] <!-- 20:17 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How are the black holes with the accretion disk different form those which don't have one?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah, if they have something to accrete, then something falls into the black hole. And in that process, they produce all sorts of emission. They produce X-ray emission, {{w|radio emission}}. And ours does too, but it really is just black. <!-- 20:46 --> {{WNIQ}} '''As you mentioned, x-ray emission helps detecting the black holes with accretion disk. What are some of the other ways we can detect black holes without accretion disks?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah, I don't think there's many other ways. You wouldn't get them unless they have another object which you can detect. And then you have to infer it from the gravitational effects, like its orbit. <!-- 21:13 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Do these stars orbiting the black hole have any known planets?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah, no, and considering their type, it is rather unlikely. These kinds [...] as far as I know don't really have planets. They are too violent, the deformation process is too massive. Planets are normally around older or less massive stars. <!-- 21:45 --> [[File:Artistic impression of LB-1.jpg|thumb|Srtistic impression of the LB-1 system {{image|paren=true|YU Jingchuan, Beijing Planetarium}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''The report mentioned the spectroscopic time series of HR 6819 was similar to LB-1. Tell us more about the system LB-1.''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} It's basically the same. This was a press release form the [[China|Chinese]] National {{w|Chinese Academy of Sciences|Academy of Sciences}} in November. And back then they claimed it is only a binary, one is a normal star, the other is a black hole. It has an accretion disk. And from this they infer it could have had very high mass. But from a technical point of view, this type of analysis is incorrect. It was, at least to me, looking at the system it looks fairly clear that the effect they ascribe to the black hole which they thought was an accretion disk must be an outer object &mdash; a third star nearby &mdash; of this Be type, which makes the emission line. So it is basically looking at the paper and realising that they are not right in their result but I know what it is, and that realising I have something similar just in my drawer. <!-- 22:58 --> {{WNIQ}} '''In what ways are LB-1 and HR 6819 similar and dissimilar?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} They are similar in ''almost'' every aspect. The inner {{w|B star}}, as far as we can tell at the moment. The B star that is close to the black hole [of LB-1] is rotating even slower than in HR 6819. It could be that it has been a bit modified: that it already has either transferred mass to the black hole or the progenitor of the black hole has transferred mass[...] For [HR] 6819, there's no such indication. But otherwise, we believe they are essentially the same. <!-- 23:47 --> {{WNIQ}} '''In what ways would the {{w|Solar System}} be different if the Sun was in the inner star's orbit, orbiting this black hole?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} It would not exist. As I said, planets simply would not form around such a massive binary. Planet formation around binary in principle is possible. But the inner star would have been a star with at least 12, maybe 20 solar masses. And these stars form very quickly, burn very quickly, die very quickly. Planets would simply not have had the time to form along such an object. <!-- 24:30 --> {{WNIQ}} '''No, considering ''our'' Solar System was there.''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Right now? Well, if you just ''put'' a Solar System there, that exists, it would probably destroy [[Planet Mercury|Mercury]], it wouldn't exist, it would be not in a stable orbit. Probably also [[Venus]] would not be in a stable orbit. In the region of Earth, the orbit ''could'' be stable. So ''maybe'' Earth could just so barely exist. The {{w|season|seasons}} would be different. There would be a strong 40-day modulation, which makes every 20 days &mdash; or every 40 days you get a lot of radiation. Every 40 days, you get only much less radiation. So it would be very hostile to life. <!-- 25:23 --> [[File:Barycentric radial velocities of the inner B3 III star (He iλ4026) of HR 6819.png|thumb|700px|{{w|Barycenter|Barycentric}} {{w|radial velocity|radial velocities}} of the inner B3 III star ({{w|helium|He}} iλ4026) {{image|paren=true|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What were the different radiation emissions observed in this system?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} There is only visible light so far. We know of no other [{{w|radiation spectrum}}]. <!-- 25:43 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the other observed systems that have similar radiation emission?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} As I said, this is from the point-of-view of the stars, these are just normal stars. And the black hole does not contribute anything to the emission of the radiation. <!-- 26:04 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What does the future of these stars look like?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} The outer star will just evolve very normally just like any other star of its mass. The inner star will become a {{w|super giant}} as well. But when it ends its supergiant phase, it will be big enough to get accounted into the black hole and then the black hole will start accreting. It is hard to say what happens then. It may get big enough for the black hole to actually fall into the star, and then shortly after the star falls into the black hole, or it might end with the accretion. <!-- 26:50 --> {{WNIQ}} '''So you are saying there is a chance the black hole may create an accretion disk feeding on this inner star?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} It will certainly. But it will take another few million years. <!-- 27:04 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Were you expecting a black hole to be so close to the Solar System?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah yes, as I said, there must be many black holes. I mean, there are certainly black holes which are closer. It's just not very likely to find them. They are not ''in''frequent objects. They are interestingly very frequent objects. There are just very hard to find. <!-- 27:31 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What future investigations is your team planning for?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} With interferometry, we want to image that, and maybe we want to look in the catalogues if we can find a similar system. We are looking for candidates where we might reasonably expect that it might be similar and then we can have a look in detail. <!-- 27:54 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What lies ahead in this system to be discovered?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Well, basically what we still have to do with this system is to make the numbers certain. Right now, what we have is limits. We have a lower limit for the mass. But what we can do is we get precise value for the mass. We only have a rough distance, we can get a precise distance. We can measure the chemical composition of the stars that still exists, if they in any way have been altered or affected by the original primary, when the most massive star went supernova. So it should tell us a lot, in principle, about heterogeneous systems about how such massive stars evolve. <!-- 28:56 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Are there any plans to observe the nearby binary stars for black holes?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} As I said, we are looking into the catalogues. If we can find similar systems that could give us hints, that might be promising candidates. But even if they are frequent, they are not that frequent that we could observe every star and just look for black holes. That is not an efficient use of telescope time. <!-- 29:24 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Are there any other observations you have been working on?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} Ah, well, there's a lot of things I'm working on. But they are unrelated to this particular project. <!-- 29:39 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What is your role at the ESO?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} At the ESO, I am a science operations astronomer. Which means that I run the telscopes; I support other astronomers when they come here to conduct the observations, and when they cannot come, or do not want to come which also happens, I do the observations for them. And I do this about 60% of my working time, I work for the observatory in this capacity, and one third of my working time I do my own research. <!-- 30:16 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Well, those were all the questions I had for you. Is there something you would like to add?''' {{WNIR|Thomas Rivinius}} No, I think that was fine, thank you. <!-- 30:25 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Thank you for agreeing for this interview.

Exoplanets are those planets which are outside the {{w|Solar System}}. [[File:SPHERE image of the disc around AB Aurigae.tif|left|thumb|This image shows the disc around the young star AB Aurigae, where ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) has spotted signs of potential exoplanet birth. {{image|paren=true|ESO/Anthony Boccaletti}}]] The host star AB Aurigae is a young star, roughly five million years old, Boccaletti told ''Wikinews''. In contrast, the {{w|Sun}} is approximately 4.6 billion years old. Located in the {{w|Auriga constellation}}, AB Aurigae is about 520 {{w|light years}} away from the [[Earth]]. The astronomers observed the {{w|protoplanetary disk}} around the star. [[File:Portrait of Anthony Boccaletti.png|thumb|Antony Boccaletti is one of the researchers on this study.{{image|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] The astronomers used the [[European Southern Observatory]]'s {{w|Very Large Telescopes}} in [[Chile]] to study this system. Boccaletti told ''Wikinews'' the twists they saw in the protoplanetary disk of gas and dust could be the formation of either a humongous planet, bigger than [[Jupiter]], the largest planet in the Solar System; or it could less likely be a star, or a {{w|brown dwarf}}. The disturbance in the twist is located around 30 {{w|astronomical units}} &mdash; one astronomical unit is the distance between the Sun and the Earth &mdash; from the host star. That is almost the distance from the Sun to {{w|Neptune}}. However, the host star AB Aurigae is more massive than the Sun: about 2.4 times the {{w|Solar mass|mass of the Sun}}. AB Aurigae is classified as a {{w|Herbig Ae}} star, which are known for their brightness. Boccaletti and his team started observing the system in 2019. Boccaletti said the researchers would like to follow up the study to confirm the observed twists are indeed the birth of an exoplanet. "[I]f we confirm that it's a planet in formation then it becomes very important to follow up", he said. There exists multiple theories of exoplanet formation, however, the formation of an exoplanet has never been observed till date. Discovered in 2016, {{w|K2-33b}} is one of the youngest exoplanets known so far, and it is about 9.3 million years old<!-- String search "Age (Gyr)" in the CalTech source -->. Boccaletti, who works at the ''{{w|Observatoire de Paris}}'', discussed his findings with ''Wikinews'' last month. == Interview with Anthony Boccaletti == <!-- 00:00 --> {{WNI first question}} '''Thank you for agreeing to discuss your findings on formation of exoplanets.

[laughs] because it's fun. [laughs] Because it's &mdash; it's about objects that are very far from us, and which we never observed before. So it's always very challenging to understand astrophysical objects which are very distant from us; and very different from what we see in the {{w|Solar System}}, for instance. <!-- 01:19 --> [[File:Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array, Milky Way.jpg|thumb|The ALMA telescope {{image|paren=true|Y.

Girard}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''How did you get involved with this study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} I was involved because I also took part in the building of the instrument. So the instrument that we used at the [[Very Large Telescope]]; instrument is a {{w|Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research|SPHERE}} [Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research]. And so we started the design of the instruments back in 2005, I would say. So I was involve[d] already at this step. And then when the instrument was implemented on the sky, on the telescope, I was also involved in the survey, that was accomplished with this telescope. And, in addition to the survey &mdash; in addition to all the observations that the {{wikt|consortium|anchor=Noun}} of people who built the instrument was running &mdash; I also had my own programs with other colleagues. And this result is part of these other programs. <!-- 02:27 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Was this instrument built specifically for this research?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} It was built for imaging [[exoplanets]] and also {{w|planetary systems}}. <!-- 02:41 --> [[File:170515a(1).jpg|thumb|{{w|Atacama Large Millimeter Array|ALMA}} image of the dust ring (red) and gaseous spirals (blue) of the circumstellar disk {{w|AB Auriga}} showing {{w|protoplanetary disc}} {{image|paren=true|ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/Tang et al.}}]] [[File:Auriga IAU (no logo).svg|left|thumb|Auriga constellation {{image|paren=true|IAU and Sky & Telescope magazine (Roger Sinnott & Rick Fienberg)}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What drew your attention to {{w|AB Aurigae}} in the {{w|Auriga constellation}} in the first place?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well it's because it was already observed before, of course, so we knew that there was a {{w|protoplanetary disc}} around the star. And the most recent images were obtained with Alma: the {{w|Atacama Large Millimeter Array}}. It's an {{w|interferometer}} working in {{w|Radio astronomy}}. And from this telescope, we already had a suspicion that there might be a planet in formation in this disc. And this is why we decided to use SPHERE to observe this system. [[File:SPHERE image of the inner disc around AB Aurigae.tiff|left|thumb|Inner region of the disc around AB Aurigae, where ESO's Very Large Telescope has spotted signs of planet birth. The 'twist' (in very bright yellow) marks the spot where a planet may be forming.{{image|paren=true|ESO/Anthony Boccaletti}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Could you explain this study and its findings?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yes so: so AB Aurigae is a star which is more massive than the {{w|Sun}}, but also very very young. The Sun is like 4.5 billion years old; while AB Aurigae is probably only like 5 million years old. So very young. And around young stars, we expect planets could be very bright because we are observing in the {{w|infrared}}. And so we knew that there was a protoplanetary disc around AB Aurigae. That means a system with a lot of gas, and a lot of dust. And so when we see this, you can find out that this gas and this dust will evolve into planets. So this is what we focused on. We decided to observe with SPHERE in order to observe the very details in the protoplanetary system of AB Aurigae and try to identify if there was [a] planet in the system. And so what we find is that we have a lot of structures. And we call these spirals because they have {{w|spiral}} shapes and these spirals are in fact gas, which are taking this shape. And usually, when we see a spiral, we can infer that there is an object which is {{wikt|perturbating}} the gas. The gravitation impact of an object in the gas produces a spiral. So when you see a spiral in a disk, you try to find which object has triggered the spiral. Because you know that it's produced by an instability. So this instability could be anything, but it could be also [a] planet: [a] planet in formation. So we try to identify if some of these pattern[s], structures in the disk could be related to the presence of a planet. And so, when we get the images from SPHERE, we find that one of the spiral[s] was twisted. And it's not a perfect spiral, you have a kind of structure at the tip of one of the spirals, which looks like a twist. Like if the spiral was twisted. And this is exactly what we expect from modelisation, from {{w|planet formation|theory of planet formation}}. When you ask people doing modelling, what looks like a system in which a planet is forming, and if you have gas in this system, what the image looks like, and they will give you an image which resembles a lot what we observe in AB Aurigae. So we did not observe a planet, okay? We never detect[ed] a planet. We detect[ed] a structure which could be the impact of a planet on to the gas. On to this spiral. So this is indirect: indirect detection. The other problem is that we don't know which mass is creating this structure, this spiral. So we see the spiral, we see the structure, we have theories indicating that it could be [a] planet. But we are not able to measure the mass of the object. So, we concluded that it ''could'' be a planet, but it could be also something more massive than a planet. Like maybe a {{w|brown dwarf}} for instance, an object a little bit more massive than a planet. So it's still a study that is ongoing. We are continuing the observations in order to determine if this is actually a planet in formation, or if it is another type of object. <!-- 07:59 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What was the timeline of the study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Oh, the timeline was typically we started by asking telescope-time. So, requesting telescope-time like a year ago; last year, basically. The request for observing time was accepted. And then, the observation were executed in December 2019. Last year. {{WNIQ}} '''Were you initially looking for signs of formation of an exoplanet ''specifically''?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yes, definitely. This is exactly why we are observing very young star. Because we know that the planets are forming when a star is very young; so when it's like one million or five million years old. And it took about probably a million year for a planet to form. So it is important to look at very young planet, if you want to understand how the planet forms, you need to look at very young systems. <!-- 09:17 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How many countries were involved in the study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Countries! Oh, so we have some people from [[France]], people from [[US]], people from [[Taiwan]], and people from [[Belgium]]. So we have four countries. <!-- 09:44 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And how many people were involved in this study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Let me check exactly the number of people if I can. I think we were like ten people? I can check directly. There are one, two, three [counts]. We are eleven people. <!-- 10:28 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And what are their roles?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Oh, the roles of the other people? Okay, so the other people contributed to the interpretation of the data, mostly. So once we have done the observation, we need to understand what we are observing. So we need to compare the observation with models for instance. So, a lot of people contributed to this comparison. Some people contributed to making a link with the previous data we have with ALMA. And that's basically the role of the other people. And some of them also contributed to the writing of the paper. <!-- 11:23 --> [[File:Paranal Platform After Sunset (ESO).jpg|thumb|Four unit telescopes in {{w|Paranal}}, [[Chile]] {{image|paren=true|[[European Southern Observatory|ESO]]/H.H.Heyer}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''From which observatory were the observations made?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} They were made from the Very Large Telescope in [[Chile]]. <!-- 11:34 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Which activity took the most time and attention?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} That's a good point. [laughs] I think it's definitely the last: the last phase, of writing the paper. <!-- 11:53 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And what was the most difficult part of this investigation?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well the most difficult was to be convinced that we are actually looking at something which is very new, so we need to convince ourselves that it's valuable for scientific publication. It's not specifically hard, but it requires to be convinced, so to make sure that you have done the analysis correctly. You don't make any mistake, et cetera. <!-- 12:30 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What was your first reaction when you concluded it is likely to be the formation of an exoplanet?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} I think it was very ''exciting'', even though we don't have an image of an exoplanet directly. Having even a suspicion that it could be a planet-forming, since it is very new; it was very exciting. <!-- 12:55 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What was the most fascinating aspect of this study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well again it's about the same question but, I think it gives it gives some perspective in the work. So it's a system for which we will re-observe, ask more telescope time to perform more observation, because if we confirm that it's a planet in formation then it becomes very important to follow up. So to monitor the system, make sure that it's a planet, make sure that it rotates around the star, et cetera. <!-- 13:39 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What were some of the challenges the team faced during the study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} The challenges? {{WNIQ}} '''Yes.''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Um. Well the challenges [are]: first, to get very good observation; and, well you know, when you observe at the telescope, sometimes the conditions are good, sometimes they are not so good. And I think we were very lucky to have very good &mdash; extremely good condition, in fact. So the fact that we see very clearly something is also related to the quality of the data, the quality of the telescope, of the instruments. So that's the first challenge to get the data with a very good quality. And then the second challenge is to compare the observation with the models. Because there are many models. Some are more or less complex. Some are very detailed. Some are less detailed. And you have to figure out which one is the most appropriate for the comparison. Because you don't want to make an interpretation that is too far. You don't want to conclude something that is not very correct. So you need also to make sure that you use the right model. And so, you use one of the models that exists. It's not the most sophisticated. It's the one, on the opposite, which is almost the simplest. Because it's enough to interpret the images, in fact. So now, of course we need to think about models that are more detailed in order to explain the observations. <!-- 15:30 --> [[File:Cp22liberationdaytransient.png|thumb|Coronagraphy of the Sun {{image|paren=true|[[NASA]]}}]] [[File:A Laser Strike at the Galactic Center.jpg|left|thumb|Astronomers using adaptive optics at a Very Large Telescope in Chile. {{image|paren=true|Yuri Beletsky/ESO}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Which technologies were used on this study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} So we use a technology called {{w|adaptive optics}} which is something which is integrated into the instrument which is able to correct for the {{w|atmospheric turbulence}}. So, when the light from the star cross[es] the {{w|Atmosphere of Earth|atmosphere}} of the [[Earth]], it becomes blurred. And we are correcting this blurring in order to have very very fine detail on the images. So that's one of the one of the technolog[ies] we are using. [[File:Solar eclipse 1999 4 NR.jpg|left|thumb|Sun's corona: the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere. {{image|paren=true|Luc Viatour}} ]] The second one is {{w|coronagraphy}}. So exactly like a system which is able to observe the {{w|Sun}} {{w|Stellar corona|Corona}}. So you block: when you block the Sun and you try to see around the Sun, well it's the same sort of technology but applied to stars instead of the Sun. So all the stars &mdash; and so the stars are much smaller &mdash; and this system is able to block the light from the star, so you can see everywhere around, and look for planets, look for discs, look for structures. These are the two main technologies we used. <!-- 16:48 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Why were these two technologies ideal for ''this'' study?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Oh, um yeah, it's not the only ones but yeah, they are necessary to perform this study, definitely. Yeah. <!-- 17:11 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What makes ''this'' study unique?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well, it's not unique because we have already many observation of planetary systems. We have a lot of observation of disks &mdash; protoplanetary disks &mdash; and especially SPHERE has observed a lot of them. We also have images of planets. And we know that planet are forming inside disks: inside protoplanetary disks. And we know that planet should generate structures like spirals in a disk. So we knew from the theory that planet and spirals are connected, but we never ever made the connection between the two. So we never observed in the same system a planet and the spiral, ok. So here, we don't have exactly observed that because we did not detect the planet, but we detected the presence of the planet in the structure of the spiral. So we are getting one step closer to making the connection between the planet and the spirals, and the structures in the disk. <!-- 18:32 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What is currently the best explanation for the formation of exoplanets?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} There are several scenarios for forming exoplanets and we have only &mdash; we never ''witness'' planet formation, so we only have theories, which are based on a lot of observations, of course, including observations of the Solar System, planet in the Solar System, et cetera. The analysis of rocks on the Earth as well in the Solar System. But we [have] never seen a planet forming. So, there are several theories. One of them is that you have rocks forming into the system. And these rocks are colliding, they are making bigger rocks. Bigger and bigger. And when this rock has reached a mass which is large enough, like maybe ten times the mass of the Earth, then this big rock, this big planet, starts to accrete the gas. And it becomes a giant planet like [[Jupiter]] or [[Saturn]]. So that's the theory for forming a giant planet. There are other way to form {{wikt|telluric|anchor=English}} planet, rocky planet, like the Earth. But here, in fact, the [case] we were talking about &mdash; if it is a planet, it's necessarily a planet that is big like Jupiter, or maybe even bigger. So we believe that the planet form first: the rock of the core of the planet is forming first. And when the core is formed, then it accretes the gas, which literally falls on the core of the planet, and it makes a bigger planet: which is a {{w|gas giant}} planet. <!-- 20:28 --> [[File:PIA22946-Jupiter-RedSpot-JunoSpacecraft-20190212.jpg|thumb|1321 times heavier than the Earth, Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. {{image|paren=true|NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Kevin M. Gill}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''So what kind of exoplanet will this be if this planet forms?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} It will be a giant planet, really. Maybe even bigger than Jupiter. Maybe 10 times the mass of Jupiter. But it couldn't be a planet that is like the Earth. If it were a planet like the Earth, it wouldn't make this kind of spiral. The spiral would not be detectable, in that case. So it's necessarily a very big planet. <!-- 21:01 --> [[File:Artist’s impression of a hot Jupiter exoplanet in the star cluster Messier 67.jpg|left|thumb|Artist's impression shows a hot Jupiter planet orbiting close to one of the stars {{image|paren=true|ESO/L. Calçada}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''So, is it safe to conclude that it could be a {{w|hot Jupiter}}?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} No, it's not a hot Jupiter. Because, well hot Jupiter means two different type[s] of planets. Jupiter can be hot if it is very close to the star. And this is usually what we refer when we say hot Jupiter. But, when a planet like Jupiter is forming, then the temperature is very high. It's like one thousand, maybe two thousand degrees. So, it's also a hot Jupiter. But not because it's close to the star: because it's young, okay. So here, we are talking about a young Jupiter planet which is probably very warm. <!-- 21:50 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What do we know about the planetary system that is being formed?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well we don't know ''much'', in fact. [laughs] We know we know a little bit about the edge of the system. We know the quantity of gas and dust that is there, and which will form planets anyway. But we don't know yet how many planets are formed; if this planet will survive, et cetera. So there's still a lot to be understood about this system. <!-- 22:31 --> [[File:WASP-12b (NASA).jpg|thumb|Artist's concept of an exoplanet being devoured by the host star.{{image|paren=true|NASA}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Why do you think this planet may not survive? [...] As you mentioned we do not know if this planet is going to survive.''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yeah, because some planets: some planet form in the disk, okay. If you have a planet forming in the disk, then the disk is made of gas. And when the planet rotate[s] around the star, then there is a friction with the gas. And so the planet slow[s] down. And when it slow[s] down, it gets closer to the star. And eventually, it can be a hot Jupiter. And sometimes, it can even disappear into the star: swallowed by the star. So we know that some planets are forming in systems and they finally end up merging with the star. They disappear into the star. So we don't know if all planets survive, in fact. Well this one is probably like 30 {{w|astronomical units}} [an astronomical unit is the distance from the Sun to the Earth, about 150 million km; 93 million miles] away from the star. So it's very far away. There's not a lot of change for this planet to migrate very close and disappear in the star. But we know that it can happen. <!-- 23:53 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Could you tell us more about the host star?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} The star is more massive than the Sun. It's 2.4 times the mass of the Sun [mass of Sun = about 2&times;10³⁰ kg]. It's also very young, as I said, only a few million years. Yeah. Essentially that's the two parameters. <!-- 24:17 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And what do we know about the history of the system?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Not much. [laugh] Unfortunately, not much. No. We don't even have an exact measurement of the age. Because it can be between like one and five million years old. So it's not very accurate. <!-- 24:43 --> {{WNIQ}} '''This host star is a {{w|Herbig Ae}} star, right?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yeah, yeah. <!-- 24:49 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the typical characteristics of a Herbig Ae star?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} They are very bright. Because they are very massive, so it's essentially the mass of the star which makes it an Herbig star. And they have also a lot of emissions. So, when we started observing star with {{w|spectrograph}}, we realised that it had signatures in the spectrum, and in fact, the reason why they have signature is because they have an environment of gas. So, the light from the star is traveling through the gas, and creates some absorption, or emission in some cases. And we see this is a signature in the spectrum. So, the fact that it's a Herbig Ae star means in fact, that it is surrounded by a disk. <!-- 25:52 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How common are these stars?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Oh, I don't have a clear idea of that. [laughs] [I] cannot answer. <!-- 26:03 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And how often do Herbig stars have orbiting planets?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} I don't know if we have already example. I don't think we have many example[s] of planets around the Herbig Ae star. It could be it could be one of the first, in fact, yeah. Not many. <!-- 26:30 --> [[File:SPHERE images of the AB Aurigae system (side by side, annotated) (cropped).tif|thumb|The distance of the twist from the host star is almost the same distance between the Sun and Neptune. The blue circle is the size of Neptune's orbit.{{image|paren=true|ESO/Anthony Boccaletti}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''As you mentioned, the spot formation of this potential planet is quite far from the host star &mdash; 30 astronomical units &mdash; what does the distance between this spiral and the star tell us?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well it tells us that planet[s] ''can form'' at 30 astronomical units. That's already: I mean if it is ''really'' a planet in formation then it forms at 30 astronomical unit. Which is not of use, in fact. And, in fact, we never, as I said before, we never witnessed a planet at formation. So it tells us that really, a planet can form at such a distance from the star. In the Solar System, 30 astronomical unit is very far. It's the orbit of {{w|Neptune}}. But this one is not the Solar System; it's not the Sun. It's more massive than the Sun. So, 30 astronomical units &mdash; it's far away, but not not as far as in the Solar System, okay. But at least we see that it's possible to form as a planet at this position. <!-- 27:39 --> {{WNIQ}} '''In what ways will this distance affect the planet formation?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} I don't know. Well, we don't have a clear idea of that. <!-- 27:53 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Were there any unique traits in the orbit of the system?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} The orbit? No. Well we don't have the orbit yet. I mean, we just have an image, and we don't have the full orbit yet. So, we don't really know yet what is the orbit. <!-- 28:39 --> {{WNIQ}} '''When did you first consider the possibility of it being a birth of an exoplanet, rather than being something else?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well, as I said it's when we started to realise that the image was very similar to the models. So, it's a suspicion that it should be a planet forming. Although it's not a firm conclusion, of course. <!-- 29:11 --> [[File:Artist’s conception of a brown dwarf like 2MASSJ22282889-431026.jpg|thumb|Artistic rendering of a brown dwarf star. {{image|paren=true|NASA/JPL-Caltech}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What other plausible hypothesis of what this twist might be?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} It could be a more massive object. It could be a {{w|brown dwarf}}. It could be a star also; it's unlikely, but it could be a star. It could be also just what we call {{w|Jeans instability|instabilities}} in a system. So not always related to planets. But other sort of instability. A planet is somehow an instability because, while it rotates in the disk of gas, it disrupts the disk, the gas and create an instability. But an instability can arise also for other reasons than a planet. <!-- 29:58 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And how do they rule out the other possibilities?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well, we're not completely ruling out the other possibilities. If it were a star, it should have been visible as a star. So, we believe it's not a star. Well, at least it's not likely. And this is why we believe it should be a planet. Something that we don't see directly. We don't detect it. <!-- 30:30 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Is there a possibility this system might form multiple exoplanets?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yes, definitely. Definitely. Because we see a lot of spirals. And if each of the spiral was actually a planet, then that means a lot of planets. So in principle, when a system from one planet, there is no reason for not forming other planets. <!-- 30:54 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And how many exoplanets are we talking about?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Oh, we don't know. [laughs] We don't know at all. <!-- 31:04 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What does the analysis of radiation emission spectrum of the system reveal?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} In fact it's difficult, because it's not straightforward to measure the emission because of the disk. So the disk has a lot of structures and so it's difficult to measure the {{w|flux}} from the planet. And in fact, we believe that we are not able to detect the flux of the planet. And this is why we conclude that we don't see the planet. So we see only the flux from the gas and the dust in the system, but not from the planet directly. <!-- 31:47 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What do we know about the composition of the dust and gas in the spiral?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well, we know that there are molecules in this system; like {{w|carbon monoxide}}, for instance. Certainly also a lot of {{w|hydrogen gas|hydrogen}}, of course. And for the dust, it can be any kind of dust because we don't have very strong constraints. So in fact, the dust that we see with SPHERE is different than the dust that we will see with another telescope, because we are not using the same {{w|spectral range}}. So with SPHERE's near-infrared we are sensitive to dust that have sizes of a few {{w|micron|microns}} [1 micron = 0.001 mm] &mdash; little grains &mdash; and we don't see the other big grains, in fact. It doesn't mean that they are not there. It means that we don't have the sensitivity to see it. So there's a whole distribution of dust; dust sizes. <!-- 32:50 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What kind of atmosphere will this potential planet [be] likely to have in future?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well certainly a gas planet; so with an atmosphere of hydrogen and {{w|helium}}, in majority. <!-- 33:11 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How many spirals were observed?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} So in the central part we see at least two big spirals. But in fact, all these spirals have little structures, so we see a lot of them. But mostly in the very inner part. And then, if you look at the very outer part, then you see a lot of a lot more spirals. But we believe that these ones are not due to planets, but more to instabilities. <!-- 33:44 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Were these two spirals interfering?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Um, yes, probably! Probably. Yeah, if you have more planets in the system, then they all launch spirals. And all of them interfere. <!-- 34:02 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How big were these spirals?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} How big? They can be several several hundreds of astronomical units. <!-- 34:17 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What does the next few million years for this system look like?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Probably that in one million year the planet will be formed. And most of the gas will be dissipated. So, all the disk we see in the image will disappear and we will be left with planets. Or maybe it will take more than one million year. Maybe five or ten. That's the point. We don't know exactly. <!-- 34:52 --> [[File:K2-33b.jpg|thumb|Planet K2-33b is the youngest fully formed exoplanet ever detected so far. {{image|paren=true|NASA/JPL-Caltech}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''If that is the case this will make it the youngest discovered exoplanet so far, right?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yes, if it is an exoplanet, then it's the youngest, yeah. <!-- 35:07 --> {{WNIQ}} '''When do astronomers use {{w|Near-infrared spectroscopy|near-infrared imaging}} of the stars?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well we use an infrared because it's the wavelength where we can use adaptive optics also. So with adaptive optics, we can provide very detailed images. And we need to resolve the very central part of system so we need adaptive optics. So near-infrared is interesting because you can use adaptive optics, and also because it's the range where you expect a planet to be very bright. If you look in the visible [light range], the planet will be very faint. <!-- 36:01 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How do you test your hypothesis?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} How do we test the hypothesis? Of what &mdash; Of the planet? Of the object being the planet? {{WNIQ}} '''Yes.''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Well, again I think it's: at the moment the only test is to compare with the models. That's the only thing we can do. <!-- 36:28 --> [[File:Obs-Paris-coupole-Arago.jpg|thumb|Paris Observatory {{image|paren=true|[[c:User:FredA|FredA]]}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What is your role at the {{w|Observatoire de Paris}}?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} I'm a researcher. And I work on exoplanets and protoplanetary disks. Yeah, mostly I work also on design of instruments. I'm doing instrumentation and observations and interpretation of observations. <!-- 37:01 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Is your team planning to study more about this system?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yes definitely. We already asked for more telescope time to re-observe AB Aurigae. <!-- 37:11 --> {{WNIQ}} '''And what do you expect to find about the system this time?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} We would like to confirm first that the structure is still visible. To see if it rotates around the star in a {{w|Kepler orbit|Keplerian motion}}. And if the the shape of the spiral is stable or evolve[s] over time. <!-- 37:37 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What lies ahead to be discovered about exoplanets?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} A lot of things. [laughs] Many many many things, yeah. [laughs] It will be too long to describe what has to be done on exoplanets. It's really a young science. So, in particular, we need to understand how they form. And what they are made of, also. <!-- 37:08 --> [[File:Critical Deployment of NASA Webb’s Secondary Mirror a Success.jpg|thumb|Technicians working on the James Webb Telescope in 2019. {{image|paren=true|NASA}}]] [[File:The Extremely Large Telescope.jpg|left|thumb|The extremely large telescope.{{image|paren=true|ESO}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Are we be likely to find more instances of planet formation in the near future?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Yeah, yes. Definitely. We've instruments like SPHERE or {{w|Gemini Planet Imager|GPI}} [Gemini Planet Imager] or other instruments that are installed on 8-meter telescopes. Also with the next Space Telescope, {{w|James Webb Space Telescope|James Webb}}, you will find out more planets. The next big telescope on the Earth will be the {{w|extremely large telescope}} which is a 38-meter telescope. So also we expect to find more planets. <!-- 38:48 --> {{WNIQ}} '''How can this discovery influence what we already know about planet formation?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} Again I think it's really because it's a very young system. So we never really observe this stage with SPHERE. We have done that with ALMA &mdash; with the instrument ALMA &mdash; we can observe very young system, but we don't see the same thing. We see mostly big dust, and gas. But with SPHERE, it's really new to be interested in very very young stars. <!-- 39:35 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What do we now know about planet formation that we didn't know before?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} What we learn is typically that a planet could form at 30 astronomical unit from a star, that is more massive than the Sun. And that it has an impact on the distribution of the gas and the dust. That's mostly what we learned. And of course, this system is a cornerstone, and we'll probably observe more systems like AB Aurigae in the future. <!-- 40:17 --> {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the other studies you are currently working on?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} That's typically on other systems that are a bit older than AB Aurigae, in fact. Usually the stars we are observing with SPHERE are like 10 or 20 million years old. It's basically &mdash; less than 50 million years old. Between 10 and 50, say, million years. And they have gas and dust around, so we can detect discs. And so we are performing a survey of hundreds of stars to detect new planets. <!-- 41:15 --> {{WNIQ}} '''Well, those were all the questions I had for you. Would you like to add anything?''' {{WNIR|Anthony Boccaletti}} No. I think we we already covered the subject very much.

The Lord Mayor election in the Australian city is scheduled to take place this week. [[File:Portrait of Wayne Tseng.jpeg|thumb|200px|Portrait of Wayne Tseng{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] Tseng runs a firm called eTranslate, which helps software developers to make the software available to the users. In the candidate's questionnaire, Tseng said eTranslate had led to him working with all three tiers of the government. He previously belonged to the Australian Liberal Party, but has left since then, to run for mayorship as an independent candidate. Tseng is of [[China|Chinese]] descent, having moved to Australia with his parents from [[Vietnam]]. Graduated in [[Brisbane]], Tseng received his PhD in Melbourne and has been living in the city, he told ''Wikinews''. Tseng also formed Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce, an organisation responsible for many "community bond building initiatives", the Lord Mayor candidate told ''Wikinews''. Tseng discussed his plans for leading Melbourne, recovering from [[COVID-19]], and "Democracy 2.0" to ensure concerns of minorities in the city were also heard. Tseng also focused on the importance of the multi-culture aspect and talked about making Melbourne the capital of the aboriginals. Tseng also explained why he thinks Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030. Tseng's deputy Lord Mayor candidate Gricol Yang is a Commercial Banker and works for {{w|ANZ Banking Group}}. Currently, {{w|Sally Capp}} is the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the [[Victoria, Australia|Victorian]] capital. Capp was elected as an interim Lord Mayor in mid-2018 after the former Lord Mayor {{w|Robert Doyle}} resigned from his position after sexual assault allegations. Doyle served as the Lord Mayor of Melbourne for almost a decade since 2008. == Interview == === About Wayne Tseng, his team and his plans === {{WNI first question}} '''Can you tell us something about yourself?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} [I am an] [[Australia]]n Citizen of [[China|Chinese]] descent [and] fluent {{w|Cantonese}}, {{w|Mandarin}} and [[English language|English]] speaker. Born in [[Vietnam]] and migrated to Australia with parent in the 1990s. Graduated as a {{w|computer engineer}} in [[Brisbane]] and received a PhD in [[Melbourne]]. Lectured in {{w|RMIT University}} before launching [my] firm eTranslate. I authored two teaching texts: ''Open Learning, Introduction to Project Management'' and ''Open Learning, Introduction to Assembly Language''. The firm which shares the same name as the USA firm eTranslate (but not related) specialises in language expertise and language information technology. The firm has two arms &mdash; The technology arm focuses on services to help developers to create language variants of their software. The language/cultural services arm provides cultural communication services to local government. Australia is a lot of ethnic minorities speaking over 120 languages and over 80 cultures. As the firm grew, I spent more [...] time in the cultural communication services arms. There I served as the principal consultant leading a team which delivered consultancy services to all three levels of government in Australia. I also founded the non-profit organisation Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce which was responsible for a lot of Australia first Chinese and Australia community bond building initiatives. I have a passion for community activities that leads to the betterment of Australians. In 2014 I invented the Australian Chinese Zodiac which matches the Chinese zodiac animal with the Australia local wildlife. The design was aim[ed] to promote better understanding between Chinese and Australian community. It went viral. I always have been active in politics. [I] was a member of the [[Australian Liberal Party]] and participated in a federal election. [[File:Australian Senate - Parliament of Australia.jpg|thumb|The Australian senate. {{image|{{w|User:JJ Harrison}}}}]] During my time in politics, I saw the limits of Australia's {{w|Westminister system}}. This system was designed by the {{w|Government of the United Kingdom|British government}} to be used in its {{w|British colonies|colonies}} in 1842. It assumed that the colonies do not have their own ideals and follow just one single set of social values. The system only allows a government and an opposition. These are often occupied by either the Progressive &mdash; The LEFT ({{w|Australian Labor Party|Labour Party}}) and the Conservative &mdash; the RIGHT (the Liberal Party). However, 21st Century Australia is much more culturally diverse. There are different ideals and social values. Australian[s] can not see themselves fit into either the LEFT or the RIGHT ideology online. The people of Australia is more comfortable with fit for purpose policies or CENTRE. The current system does not support a third centre party. In fact, Australians have become more cynical about the two major parties (LEFT and RIGHT). They are well educated and well informed. They believe they can offer the government so much in input and suggestions. They want to have more say in the governing of [...] Australia. [[File:Sheffield Town Hall (27475677653).jpg|thumb|Sheffield Town Hall{{image|Tim Green}}]] I have since come to the belief that direct vote or participating democracy is the key for the next stage of the country's evolution. This is [a] movement overseas in terms of direct vote or direct democracy. * In [[UK]], the {{w|Sheffield City Council|Sheffield council}} &mdash; The council begin to use direct vote in some of the council decisions. * In [[Iceland]] &mdash; they rewrote their constitution through public submitting and voting. * In [[New York City|New York]] &mdash; The city review its city budget through direct vote. In Australia, I believe introduction of direct voting needs to be [a] gradual process. Laws needs to be enacted to allow direct voting. But before this, the public and [sitting] government needs to see the benefit of direct democracy. {{WNIQ}} '''What made you decide to run for the Melbourne City's Lord Mayor? Why do you think you should be the Melbourne's Mayor?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} In [the] 2020 Melbourne local government election, I was nominated for the Lord Mayor of Melbourne. I hope to use the election as a platform to seed public awareness on participating democracy. I advocated for the creation of a platform called Participate in Melbourne where the people can begin with submitting their issues/concerns, offer suggestions, hold public debate and send those conclusions to elected councillor to deliberate and vote. [I] hope once the benefits are known, the council will enact laws to allow direct vote. I have founded an organisation called eTranslate that has offices in different countries. Over the years, [I] have gained a considerable amount of business and life experiences which are important in public life. Apart from my professional life, I have always engaged in community work. I have a passion to enter public office and serve the community in a larger capacity. I have always been active in politics. I was a member of the Australia Liberal Party and participated in a federal election. During my time in politics, [I] understood the inner workings of major parties and the Australian political system. Most importantly, I have lived in Melbourne since 2000 and understand the city intimately as a business operator and as a resident. {{WNIQ}} '''[C]ould you please explain what are the powers of Melbourne's Lord Mayor?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Unlike the City of [[London]] where its local government administer {{w|City of London|London CBD}} [Central Business District] and greater London, the City of Melbourne is divided in 76 areas and the {{w|Melbourne City Council}} only administer the Melbourne CBD and two surrounding residential areas, {{w|Docklands, Victoria|Docklands}} and {{w|Southbank, Victoria|Southbank}}. While the area Melbourne City Council administer is small, the Melbourne CBD (second only to [[Sydney]]) is the engine of Australia's Economy. So [while] the scope of power is limited, the policies are wide-ranging. The Lord Mayor of Melbourne is partly a ceremonial role and partly a directorship role. It is like the Chairman of a company. The CEO of the council has all the executive powers. But the mayor and the councillors are like the board of directors and the chairperson. The only difference is that this chairperson sets the agenda for the CEO to implement. The chairperson drafts the agenda based on the wishes of the people &mdash; the voters. [[File:Gricol Yang.jpg|thumb|Portrait of Gricol Yang, who is running for deputy Lord Mayor in this election.{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Tell us about your team Zorin. Tell us about your partner Gricol Yang.''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} As required by the {{w|Victorian Electoral Commission|Victoria Election Authority}}. All candidates that contest for the seat of Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor must form a team for ease of identification. So I choose Team Zorin as a name that represented me, Wayne Tseng &mdash; Lord Mayor Candidate and Gricol Yang &mdash; Deputy Lord Mayor Candidate. I chose Zorin because I also have another company called Zorin Industries which specialise in Robotics. The name will only last until the result of the election is known. Gricol Yang obtained a degree in commerce and worked in the {{w|Australia and New Zealand Banking Group|ANZ Banking Group}} as a Commercial Banker. {{WNIQ}} '''You ran in an election as a representative of the Liberal party in 2010 &mdash; why did you quit the party? What have you learned since leaving the Liberals?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I quit the party so I can run as an independent in the council election. I am pursuing direct democracy which is not an element of the Australian Liberal Party platform. However, during the time as a member of the Liberal party, I have learnt so much about... # Australia political systems # The workings of 3 levels of government # The political party machinery # The relationship between the government and its people # The change in Australian sentiment and; # The limitation of the current Australia democracy in address[ing] change. {{WNIQ}} '''Tell us about your company eTranslate.''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I founded the firm eTranslate which shares the same name as the USA firm eTranslate (but not related). We specialise in language expertise and language information technology. The firm has two arms &mdash; The technology arm focuses on services to help developers to create language variants of their software. The language/cultural services arm provides cultural communication services to local government. Australia is a lot of ethnic minorities speaking over 120 languages and over 80 cultures. We have offices across Australia and in selected countries. Some of our past achievements include: * During years 2000 we launch world first Multilingual Olympic Games Information Website. * We launched world first Web Content Information System that support multilingual content. * We launched world first e-commerce platform that support different languages and different currencies. * Now we launched a new services to assist Robotics developer to create different language human robot interface. We also won a number of awards for our innovations. [[File:Wayne Tseng's 2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor Candidate Questionnaire and Answers.pdf|thumb|Wayne Tseng's Candidate Questionnaire and Answers for this year's Melbourne Lord Mayor election.{{image|{{w|Victorian Electoral Commission}}}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''In the Candidate Questionnaire and Answers, you had listed operating eTranslate has given you expertise in undertaking the role of Councillor. How? Can you please explain?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} As the firm grew, I spent more of [my] time in the cultural communication services arms. There I served as the principal consultant leading a team which delivered consultancy services to all three levels of government in Australia. [A] politician needs business and life experience so they can make decisions that address real business and life situations. So I do believe after years of growing and operating a business in so many areas, I could be of a service to the city. [[File:Chinese New Year 2013 93 - Robert Doyle (8460914150).jpg|thumb|File photo of {{w|Robert Doyle}}.{{image| Vikas D. Nambiar}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What do you think of the current governance of Melbourne's Mayor?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} The current mayor, {{w|Sally Capp}}, entered mid-term when the previous mayor {{w|Robert Doyle}} was outsed for {{w|sexual harassment}} allegation. I do appreciate the hard work Sally did to bridge the political divide in a council chamber she inherited. This year the pandemic has made her work even harder as for any other leaders. But what she fall short off is to stand up to the State Government (provincial government) which [has] restricted the city ability to take its own decisive action to better protect the city. She is Labor aligned so she can not compromise too much of the Labor State Government reign. But a local government needs to be separate [from] State government so it can exercise its power to protect [its] constituents. {{WNIQ}} '''Could you please [tell] us about the 'Precision Policies'?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Team Zorin pledge to bring all Melbournians to the council chamber. We will deploy an online platform to let Melbournians participate in the running of the city. You can post issues in your area, submit your solutions, raise alerts about wrong doing, rate your councillors<!--{{sic}}--> action and comment on council decisions. It's called Participating Democracy. We pledge not only [to] formulate policies for the majority, but also [to] formulate precise policies for the minority. We called this Precision Policies. You see the majority rule in current democracy. If you are in the minority, you will not be in luck. Our participating democracy platform ensure[s] that the needs of everyone includ[ing] those in minority group are captured. The government should work harder to ensure there are policies that precisely addressed the needs of everyone including minority group. Thus Precision Policies. [[File:Team Zorin Advocacies.pdf|thumb|Team Zorin Advocacies{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the things you can bring to [the] table if you were to be elected as the Lord Mayor?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Many other candidates in the election only advocate big spending and relief in payment of taxes. Just like the {{w|Spanish Flu}} that shaped the 20th century, [[COVID-19]] is shaping our time and the city is ill prepared for the post COVID world. Our council processes and bureaucracies are still paper base, our revenue model is not flexible to enable rapid recovery and take advantage of new opportunity. My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery. There is a comprehensive plan for recovery in all sectors from business to residents. See attached document. [[File:Sally Capp.jpg|thumb|Current Melbourne Lord Mayor {{w|Sally Capp}}.{{image|Victorian Government}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''What does Melbourne lack under Sally Capp's Mayorship which you plan on improving?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Sally['s] current strategy is to spend to recovery. While this is necessary, fundamental reforms are needed. My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery. Key Reforms include: Make Melbourne a full digitally transformed city with intelligent systems. Melbourne needs an efficient platform to recover and to seize new opportunities. Some of our processes and bureaucracies are still paper base. The tech needed are already available and proven models of digitisation are easily accessible. We should move towards full digitisation plus installation of intelligent systems. In simple jargon, these intelligent systems can enable efficiency projects such as: * Freeing up unused public car park spaces, so enabling higher utilisation. * Broadcast CBD traffic information to cars so to redistribute traffic around the CBD. * Give Melbournians direct access to council services via their mobile. * Expand the existing "Participate Melbourne" to allow Melbournians to post issues, submit suggestions, hold virtual forums, vote on a solution, and submit to council for deliberation. If laws are enacted, allow direct vote. * Give an automated platform to engage with local Melbourne suppliers. * Offer an easy "e-engagement" platform for new industries to engage Melbourne and Melbourne businesses. The country [[Estonia]] has this for the last 8 years. Skype came from Estonia. [[Singapore]] has its {{w|GeBIZ}} system to engage any overseas enterprises in just 24 hours. * A permanent system to monitor COVID and any future outbreak (See below Bug Busters) team. This new platform will be Melbourne "Digital Railway" to recovery. Make Melbourne the first to reform council rate calculation. Post COVID Melbourne will see many empty shops, office floors and rental apartments. This is in addition to the many heritage-listed and old CBD properties that are not rentable but incredibly valuable. The current council rate calculation which is based on property value will send these owners off the cliff. Our team advocate a fundamental change to how council rate is calculated &mdash; based on yield and property value. A property of high value that remains vacant can receive lower rate bill. This will give relief but also give incentive for the property to attract new tenants. For commercial property where the tenant pays for the outgoing, the reduced rate bill will help to attract new tenants and relief for the tenant to grow their business. The same applies to heritage-listed properties and residential rental properties. The list of beneficiaries is long. Make Melbourne an active Jobweaver. In some of candidates' campaigns have been alluded Job &mdash; Job &mdash; Jobs; unfortunately, reality is we know old industries including retail will not return the same number of jobs. So where will new jobs come from. Local government should enact policies and implement initiatives to attract new industries. While the federal government hands out Job Maker financial assistance, local government should implement "Job Weaver" initiatives to attract new industries. While one candidate stated he has attracted a billion-dollar project to Melbourne, little of this money trickles to small businesses and local workforce. Melbourne's well-educated workforce can attract industries such as Robotics, AI Systems, Smart Financial Services and Accreditation Services. The key to attract these new industries is the development of the e-engagement platform. Australia [may] enter a new [[NATO]] style trade pack with US, [[Japan]], [[India]], and other friendly nations. With so many Indian students and professions in Australia, Melbourne can seize the opportunity to be the business and finance center to administer these new alliances. Again, an efficient digital e-engagement platform is the key to seize these opportunities. {{WNIQ}} '''On Team Zorin's website, you wrote "Melbourne is too precious to be used as a test lab for half-baked policies." What are some of the current policies that are under-serving the residents of Melbourne?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} There are many current policies that are not working and under serving. Here are two examples: The Melbourne city council [...] advocate for more residential towers and approve[d] a lot which is under construction. But there are no essential services in these areas to service residents. Essential services such as doctor, dentist, child care, mental health services and women's health services are almost non-existent. [[File:St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne.jpg|thumb|St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne{{image|[[c:Special:Contributions/Folfox]]}}]] Here is my advocacy: There is little on other candidates' platforms for Melbourne as Residential Precinct. There is a Chemist Warehouse in every block. But where to go when you are sick at night. Our team propose to attract essential services (such as 24 hours super-clinic) to service Melbourne residents including GPs, dentist, childcare, radiology, mental health, men's health, women's health and crisis management. We have over 50,000 students in Melbourne; however, they are not entitled to free medical at {{w|St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne|St Vincent}} even with a medical insurance. Gary Morgan rightly said, young family will settle in CBD, but where do they send their children for childcare, early learning, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. Schools will lift apartment resale value. New apartments are being approved but with little green space and essential services. This will be failed. Melbourne City council advocate to re-open business but there is not enough measure to make sure the premises are COVID safe. This is my advocacy: Make Melbourne the first to install a city-level outbreak detection team. A hard COVID lesson learnt is that outbreak needs to be contain fast. COVID-19 will not be the last. There are also frequent gastro outbreaks. Our team propose Australia first city-level Rapid Response, Virus education / awareness, Outbreak Detection and Containment Team (jokingly called Bug Busters). While we may not like to mention it, China's city level Bug Busters are key for them to contain outbreaks. In addition, we advocate installation of health check gates at shopping centers and places of high people concentration. These gates will not only measure temperatures but will have regularly updated features to detect other symptoms. Just like security check points, they will become part of the post-COVID world. They may be integrated as part of security and drug checks. (The technology is already in used overseas). Think again, this along with PPE when mandated and social distancing is the key to safe opening. {{WNIQ}} '''On your website, you wrote "Team Zorin pledges to bring all Melbournians to the council chamber" &mdash; how do you plan to do that? How will this affect people of Melbourne? What technologies would you require to achieve that?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} The phrase bring all Melbournians to the council chamber is a metaphor. The reality is that all Melbournians will have their opportunity to submit their issues and their suggestions into the digital democracy platform. They can participate in virtual debate and trials. Those findings will be submitted to the council chamber for formal debate. Now even if the laws do not allow direct vote, the platform has online polls to allow the people to vote. The elected councillors can see the "wish" of the people and voted accordingly. Thus &mdash; "Bring the Melbournians to the council chamber". To a number of Melbournians who have been so stressed and depressed, it will take sometime for them to appreciate the opportunity to have their say. At the same time, so many Melbournians are tired and fed up with the current mayor for the lack of real solutions and the state government errors and mistakes, they will look for alternatives. I believe instead of installing another leader who is not going to be any wiser or someone who just want[s to] offer sensationalism just to win power, this is the time where we open the pathway to collective governing. The direct democracy or participating democracy (depends on who is framing this concept) will allow Melbournians to work collectively, find out solutions, TRIAL solutions, hold [...] forum and see what really works and then tell their leader to consider these well-founded solutions. It does not affect the people of Melbourne other than giving them a new avenue to seek their answers. It will put the elected official on notice that people demand more, want to take part in the process of governing. Also the demand for greater transparency. There are emerging technologies for participating democracy. MiVote is one prominent technology using {{w|blockchain}} to enable secured voting. Since the model on how direct democracy is going to unfold, the technologies are catching up with the needs of the people. For the first time in digital revolution, it is technology that is catching up with the people. In this case, it is the digital democracy platform trying to the catch up with the inspiration of the people. Other less sophisticated ones include {{w|WordPress}} with template UpVote. {{WNIQ}} '''What do you think of one's right to privacy? Will the people of Melbourne have to compromise a part of their privacy to accommodate to your plans for the city?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Australia has a very strong privacy protection law. By participating in the democracy platform, the people would not disclose much of their details other than: # Their entity; # The fact that they are [enrolled] as a voter for that electorate and; # detail of their experience and their views. {{WNIQ}} '''How would you ensure the digital platform you intend to deploy for residents to participate for the running of city is not misused? In what ways will you ensure only the residents of the city can use it? Will the platform use user's privacy respecting software?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} The model in which how this participating democracy works itself will also be debated. Of course, I will seed the initial model. The initial model do not allow anonymous posts or vote. Every one [who] contributes must verify that they are registered voters against the voters roll in the election authority. The voting itself are base on block chain which is the most secure we now have. The software will respect Australia privacy law. {{WNIQ}} '''How do you plan to help those Melbournians who are in the economically weaker category?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} The homeless and people living below the poverty line are part of the Melbourne community. On policy, the council will rent back empty home to give temporary shelter to the homeless or reduce rental for those who are economically weaker. {{WNIQ}} '''Statistics show number of crimes reported in various cities in Australia including Melbourne have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. How do you plan on handling the COVID-19 pandemic? What policies would you introduce to reduce the rate of crimes in Melbourne?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} On my policy platform, we have advocate[d] for night safe zones, additional CCTV and patrols. We will work with the police department (run by the state government) to ensure they monitor the parts of the city that pose higher risks. {{WNIQ}} '''Why do you think "Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030"? What are some of the things necessary for ensuring that comes true? What are some of the current barriers which may prevent that from happening? How would you remove those barriers?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Australia is an island continent. It has the world largest {{w|iron}}, {{w|lithium}}, {{w|uranium}} and {{w|rare earth minerals|rare earth}} reserve[s]. It has the most agriculturally sound land. It has every geographical [feature] you can find [on] earth. There is enough land to support a population of 2 billion. Melbourne like Sydney is a business, administrative and cultural centre. Yet it does not have the financial burden of being the largest city in Australia. Melbourne can seize the opportunity to be administration centre of the new opportunities. From new opportunities comes [new] found wealth and city development. But what is stopping the city is its old paper base bureaucracies. This is why I advocate full digital transformation of council processes and install new smart systems. I also advocate the development of a[n] e-engagement system which allow[s] new industries from overseas to quickly engage with the City of Melbourne. {{WNIQ}} '''Tell us about "Guided Governing". How would that play out? Your campaign talks about Democracy 2.0. What are the things where democracy is currently failing? How do you plan to fix it?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} In the Democracy 1.0, the majority rules. If you are a minority, you[r] needs may not be addressed. Melbourne is so much more than those issues raised by the mayoral candidates. The recovery needs to include everyone, not just those whose needs are on the candidates' policy platform. Melbournians will no longer accept that if your needs are not on their agenda, [bad] luck try again in 4 years. A lot can happen in 4 years. One COVID-19 lesson is to address issues head on, fast and with well-founded solutions. We can see from Stage 4, there were mistakes &mdash; 50 mistakes as the {{w|Herald Sun}} reported. We understand politicians are human, there is a limit to how much they know &mdash; especially career politicians. Melbournians as a collective can offer so much. Take my extensive policies. In fact, the list is much longer. These are real issues submitted by people at the ground level including suggestions by the people on my mini digital democracy platform. For example, when Sally advocated for the expansion to Southbank Boulevard and big events, residents in Southbank already unhappy at sound levels rejected this completely. They advocate that the council should enforce a quiet zone after 10pm at residential areas. This is on my platform. [[File:Aerial photograph of Queen Victoria Market.jpg|thumb|Aerial photograph of Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne.{{image|[[c:User:Ferylbob]]}}]] Melbournians can submit their observations of any failures. One election issue is the self-injecting room (I know it is the state government who put it there). While every candidate concedes having one near QVM [{{w|Queen Victoria Market}}] and near residential towers is bad, no candidate mentioned that there are dealers hovering 150 meters away supplying the goods creating an epicentre of drug deals around the self-injecting room. Chinese students living in {{w|Eq. Tower|EQ towers}} on {{w|William à Beckett|A'beckett street|anchor=Legacy}} reported this on my platform even if they are not voters. You see citizen participating can also stop bad policy in its track, this is guided governing. Melbournians can offer topics/suggestions that the candidates don't see. As a collective they have a greater foresight. In my policy document, topics discussed include: # Reform how council rate is calculated &mdash; So many Melbournians discussed this topic and offer justification why it works and give real life examples. It is like having a virtual forum and running a proof of concept exercise. No other candidate discussed this. It is on my platform. # Job, Job and Jobs. Most Melbourne business owners know old industries, particular retail will not return the same number of jobs. We need to attract new industries. Council can play a role in attracting new industries. We call this Jobweaver. # The need for rapid digitisation and the establishment of an e-engagement platform to attract new industries and new business from overseas. Melbournians do business overseas like in Singapore. They experience the quick and easy way to establish presence in the city. # Also a local city level outbreak detection and control team &mdash; Bug Busters. They saw such in {{w|Wuhan}}, HK [([[Hong Kong]])] and Singapore. [They] attribute to [it] keeping their numbers down. COVID-19 will not be the last. These potential ideas and virtual forum findings can be submitted to the council chamber for councillors to debate guided by the evidence presented. Of course the current laws do not allow citizens to directly vote on council decisions. But Melbournians can conduct their votes on online polls. The result will show the councillors in the chamber the wish of the people. If they do not vote reflecting the wish of the people, they will know their [fate] come next election. If I was to be elected, I will take gradual steps to introduce a platform for participation and direct vote. My plan is to expand "Participate Melbourne " to empower Melbournians to * submit their issues. * submit their suggested solution. * offer other ideas for the betterment of Melbourne. * hold virtual forums. * participate in online committees (Dan already legalise[d] online meetings for committees). * participate in trials or proof-of-concept exercises. It goes further: * comment on council's own initiative or agenda. * rate the performance or action of a councilor. * report on policy failures (Herald Sun report of a socall park gate was a classic). * While [they] can not directly vote on council decisions, they can vote in online polls to tell councillors the wish of the people. [[File:Melbourne Town Hall-Collins Street.JPG|thumb|Melbourne Town Hall{{image|{{w|User:Adz}}}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Why do you plan to make Melbourne Australia's capital?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Melbourne was Australia capitol until 1927. Then it was moved to [[Canberra]]. The {{w|aboriginals|indigenous people of Australia}} do have rights. But their identity and their rights are either suppressed or not encouraged. I want to use Melbourne public space to be a place where the First Nations (Indigenous) people can hold their discussion forum. I want to have the map of their different tribes displayed in Town Hall. I also want a day where we have the Indigenous festival. {{WNIQ}} '''You have plans to create a city level disease detection swat unit and to install temperate and health check gates &mdash; how much time would it take to do it all across Melbourne? How much resources and funds are you planning to put behind the disease prevention of the city?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I am [not(?)] privy to council records. So I don't have all the tools to calculate. But because the area that Melbourne City Council is small. I can work out the budget. I may budget to be the same that the city is spending now controlling the outbreak. {{WNIQ}} '''Your manifesto also mentions reviewing "animal management plan" &mdash; could you tell us more about it?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Pets are not support[ed] and unwanted in City of Melbourne. The current animal management plan advocates if lost pets are not claimed within a certain number of days they are killed. Many people who moved from the suburbs to the city often left their pets on the streets. This is sad. I think we should be compassionate. I will definitely review the pet plan and called it "Creatures big and small care plan". {{WNIQ}} '''How do you plan to preserve the indigenous art and support multi-cultural aspect of the city?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Mining companies frequently blasted sacred aboriginal sites destroying precious aboriginal artwork. Some of their art work are actually dumped in shipping containers. Melbourne has so many public galler[ies] and museums. They can be commission to preserve, store and exhibit aboriginal artworks. {{WNIQ}} '''Given the owners profit from pairing up with Airbnb which hikes the house rent &mdash; what is your stance on Airbnb and similar short-stay rentals and their long-term effect on affordability?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} {{w|Airbnb}} and similar short-stay rental are [an] important source of income for city apartment landlords. Yet they are also a source of disturbances for residents. Residents deserve peace and enjoyment. So Airbnb needs to be regulated. My plan is to have public consultation where all stakeholders get to have a say on the digital democracy platform and hold a virtual forum. Some of the initial key consideration[s] include: * [Give] building management greater powers to set standards. * Apply standards to Airbnb and other booking agencies. * Ensure new building[s] have setup for Airbnb access and landlord to meet strict requirements. {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the strongest criticisms you have received for your plans for Melbourne? How did those criticisms change your views?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} My policies for the city of Melbourne have been collectively suggested by talking to the people of Melbourne through my digital participating democracy platform. So they are populist policies. Few actually criticise them. However, there is one major challenge. The current tension between Chinese and Australia fuel public speculation about why so many Chinese candidate. They are worried about foreign infiltration. While I enjoy pretty good coverage, many other Chinese/Asian candidates are being teased or harassed. Overall, this does not give a good public image for all Chinese/Asian candidates. Any voters who [do] not know me, may not vote for me because I have a Chinese face. {{WNIQ}} '''If you had to vote for the current candidates other than yourself for this year's election, which three candidates would you vote for? Why?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} * Sally Capp &mdash; She has the experience as mayor and can ensure continuity of city's affairs. * {{w|Aaron Wood}} &mdash; He was the deputy mayor and he is willing to stand up for the city's benefits from the next level up government &mdash; The State Government which has more over-arching power over the city. * {{w|Australian Greens Victoria|Greens}} &mdash; they are a popular party in Melbourne city CBD, their policies [have been] becoming less radical and more mainstream. {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the reasons people may not vote for Team Zorin?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Reasons: # We do not belong to the major parties (Liberal or Labor). # We are not from the social elite (traditionally mayors were from big business person, link to major parties or social elite). The current mayor Sally Capp comes from political heritage linked to the Liberal Party. This is where this model does not fit the modern world. It is not fair that the seat of mayor always goes to the elite. # We may be seen as inexperience[d] as none in our team have administer[ed] the City of Melbourne. {{WNIQ}} '''In case if you do not win the election, what would be your next plan of action?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} [My] goal is to leverage on the friend and networks [I have] developed to further advance participating democracy in Australia. During the time as a candidate, I have used any publicity available to promote the concept. I have written to the following part[s] of society: * To all Australia sitting politician and candidates, * To all Australian media includ[ing] TV, radio and newspapers, * To different cultural community groups, * To different community and non profit organisation[s]. I hope to promote the concept to all level[s] of society so they will become more educated and understand its benefits. So when future government can enact direct vote, the great people of Australia can easily follow. I will formally form a party called Zorin Australia which will attract member[s] across Australia through the democracy platform. We will also gradually establish a nation-wide democracy platform where the great people of Australia continue to post their issues, solutions, vision, hopes and advise the government on the course of governing. The various champions on the platform can be great candidate[s] to represent the people come next election. {{WNIQ}} '''What do you think of world dominance?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I do not believe in world dominance. The whole point of the participating democracy or Democracy 2.0 is to give the power to determine by the people. The people collaborate in their own community. The different communities collaborate in a city. Cities collaborate in a state/provinces. Provinces collaborate in a country. Countries collaborate together as part of one cohesive entity. Of course, this is a utopia that is not going to happen anytime soon. But it is a model that we hope where countries at different stage of readiness will adopt. Step by step humanity improves. Imagine we have a new martian colony. What kind of government will we want to be there. We will likely want something like participating democracy, everyone['s] needs are address, everyone collectively decides. So if this is what is in the future, why can['t] we start to slow[ly] adopt this model today. === About multi-cultural aspects of Melbourne === {{WNIQ}} '''What does the demographic of Melbourne currently look like?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} According to 2016 census: Children aged 0&ndash;14 years made up 3.8% of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up 5.1% of the population. Of people in Melbourne (State Suburbs) aged 15 years and over, 23.7% were married and 5.8% were either divorced or separated. 0.5% of the population, or 24,062 people, identified as Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders) in 2016. Melbourne has the 10th largest immigrant population among world metropolitan areas. In Greater Melbourne at the 2016 census, 63.3% of residents were born in Australia. {{WNIQ}} '''How do you plan on making Melbourne the Repository for Cultural Artefacts and Knowledge?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I always believe knowledge is humanity['s] biggest achievement. Yet they are constantly be[ing] destroy[ed] by successive regime who see certain part do not align with their ideology. It happens all around the world. But I [don't] want to be racist. I am Chinese. So I can comment on China. For a millenni[um] each imperial dynasty aim[ed] to destroy the knowledge and culture of those that were not compatible with their regime. The biggest destruction was [by] the {{w|Qin Shi Huang|Qin (Chin) emperor}} when he unified China. Even to this day, the Chinese {{w|Cultural Revolution}} has further destroy[ed] what was traditional China. [[File:Buddha of Bamiyan.jpg|thumb|File photo of {{w|Buddha}}'s statue in {{w|Bamiyan}}, [[Afghanistan]] which was later destroyed.{{image|James Gordon}}]] We see it in {{w|Buddhas of Bamyan|Afghanistan|anchor=Attacks on the Buddha's statue}}, {{w|Umayyad Mosque|Syria}} and even in Australia. There are a large part of Australia society which love truth, knowledge and fairness. Australia for the time being is very stable politically. The country geographic is stable with no earthquakes and volcanoes. Humidity is low and weather stable. To sum it up, it is a country suitable to [store] artefact[s] and knowledge that are at risks in their host country. The benefit for Australia is that the world will come and see, bring[ing] tourism. The artefacts will only be preserve[d] here with consent of the traditional owners. {{WNIQ}} '''Are you aware of the {{w|Wikipedia:GLAM|GLAM}} (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museum) outreach project run by Wikimedia? Do you look forward to facilitating the outreach for mutual benefit? How would you facilitate that?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I did not know until now. I understand what is GLAM. I think it can serve as a great preservation of culture, artefact while [[Wikipedia]] is for the preservation of knowledge. I will look into it in the future.<!-- last sentence was sent via iMessage --> {{WNIQ}} '''What according to you is more important: Representation of minorities in the council or minority citizens getting a platform to express their needs, and grievances? Why? What are your plans to achieve that?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} It's democracy in Australia. The City administration changes after each election. Certain administration may be pro-minority, some may not. Some administration may have good minority representation, some may not. So it is important that there is a platform which empowers the minority to post their needs and discuss their preferences. [By] law if issues are known, they need to be addressed by the government. So it will be ideal that we get both good minority representation in government and the platform to support them. But the former can not be guaranteed. {{WNIQ}} '''Why did you start eTranslate? What type of advice does it provide to the three tiers of government?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} eTranslate has two arms &mdash; the Technology arm &mdash; which focus on empowering technologies to support multicultural user needs and multilingual content. The other is multicultural communication services &mdash; It is a like a Public Relation service but focus on ethnic groups. So our team provide this multicultural PR services to government. We empower the government clients with language resources, cultural expertises and ethnic media channel to interact with their ethnic minority constituents. So we work with all levels of government. {{WNIQ}} '''What are some of the problems ethnic minorities face in Melbourne?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Due to low fertility rate, Australia has [to] constantly embark on increasing migration to top up its population. As such, there is a diverse set of ethnic minority groups in fact over 80. Australia treat[s] its minority well compare to other [[OECD]] [(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)] countries. But when you have so many group[s] competing for government priorities, it is hard to find a balance. Most of the time, the larger minority group[s] gain more access to resources. This is why my participating democracy platform helps to ensure the needs of all minority groups are identified and addressed &mdash; Thus Precision Policies. {{WNIQ}} '''What percentage of residents in Melbourne and Victoria are aboriginals?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Melbourne 0.5%, Victoria 1.6%. [[File:Wayne Tseng.png|thumb|350px|Wayne Tseng talking about making Melbourne the capital of the indigenous people of Australia.{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] {{WNIQ}} '''Aboriginal population in Melbourne and in Victoria is very low as compared to other states. Why? And would it make sense to make Melbourne capital of Aboriginals when there aren't enough of them in the city?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} The distribution of indigenous people depends on a lot of factors. These again due to historical reasons that we can go on forever. The are tens of indigenous tribes across the country. Sadly some were hunted to extinction in the last century, particularly in [[Tasmania]]. Mak[ing] a location a capital for the First Nations people will be symbolic rather than totally enshrine[d] in law. Ideally it would be best in the {{w|City of Darwin}}. But unless I was a mayor there, it may not happen. So having [it] in Melbourne does allow some symbolic and provide a forum for the different tribes to gather and have open discussions. The "capital" can rotate from city to city periodically if other cities allow. But ultimately it will be up to the elders to approve. {{WNIQ}} '''How [do] you envision Melbourne would look like by 2025 under your mayorship?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Each mayor term is 4 years, that takes it to 2024 at the latest. Realistically, Melbourne and Australia being a much smaller economy will take longer to recover from COVID-19. So to be practical, we hope the city will attain the following by 2024-25: # Melbourne recovers from the pandemic; # Most business restored; # City finances recover from the massive debt incurred; # City fully digitised and ready to take on new opportunities; # Residents can enjoy a safe, healthy and livable environment; # Tourism flourish[es] again; # New industries invest in Melbourne; # Arts and Culture restored. {{WNIQ}} '''If elected, what would constitute a successful mayorship for you?''' {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} I believe what constitute a successful mayorship are # To maintain the integrity and high standard expected from the office of Mayor; # Implement the pledge made during the election; # Be consultative to the community; # Be proactive in responding to issues; # Monitor the changing force at state, national and international level and prepare the city to meet those challenges; # laid the foundation necessary to grow the city and protect it against unsavoury forces. === Further thoughts === Wayne Tseng also shared his insights on various things on how collaboration between the members of society, <!-- ==== Tseng spoke about his 'Destiny' ==== --> {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Just [to] summarise: Since I was 10, I watched how the ant[s] collaborate. I asked how we people can collaborate further. In school, I appreciated competition bring creativity. But I also believe collaboration ensures not only creativity, but accountability, responsibility, integrity and productivity. When I was in university, my computer studies focused on collaborative computing. My post graduate research was on software globalisation &mdash; again global collaboration. My company eTranslate really aims to empower companies to go global while in Australia assist all ethnic minority groups collaborate and co-exist in harmony. In politics, I seek to find a solution where we can reach consensus. It does not have to be LEFT or RIGHT, black or white. Democracy is one system that endures, but it is no longer acceptable to just say majority rules. This led me to participating democracy or Democracy 2.0. Once can say &mdash; So my life experience really led me towards participating democracy or Democracy 2.0. <!-- ==== Tseng shared his views on his 'Democracy 2.0' ==== --> {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Democracy 2.0: When I gave presentation, I always said if there is a {{w|Mars Colony}} now, what kind of political system or government would you prefer: Authoritarianism, Communism, Fascism, Monarchy or Democracy? If Democracy, do you want to be squeeze[d] to either the LEFT or the RIGHT or only majority rules? Or may be you want a collective government where the needs of everyone is addressed. So that's participating democracy. Now if that is the future, why don't we progress towards this TODAY. I have developed an index to measure to what degree a country has adopted participating democracy. I share this in the future topic. <!-- ==== Tseng's idea of 'Society 1.0' ==== --> {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Society 1.0: While developing the model for participating democracy, I saw many institutions have refined processes and some have matured to a point where it is like a car. The [model], functions and overall attributes of a car is matured. Imagine that we put all the attributes of an institution whether a health system, a hospital, a school or an education department in a bottle. We can deploy this to other countries that have [not] yet got such a matured setup. Now imagine we got a whole matured community or city setup in bottle, this can be deploy to new city setup in the dessert or new settled land. Now imagine after exchanging and further developing these setup. Eventually, like a car which is quite mature, we have a setup or definition of a city or SOCIETY that is almost universally accepted. I call this SOCIETY 1.0. Democracy 2.0 can lead to SOCIETY 1.0. The ongoing debate of how to govern a society will lead to a universally agreed FORMAT/SETUP/DEFINITION of a SOCIETY. During COVID-19, the ability of different medical centres to collaborate in the development and trialling of different vaccine candidates showed the need to standardise setup of clinics, hospital and even the health ministry. Those that are compatible and matured progressed further. It will take a moment to sink it. <!-- ==== Tseng's views on 'Collectivism 1.0' ==== --> {{WNIR|Wayne Tseng}} Collectivism 1.0: Collaboration and Collectivism if well structured or modelled can be the next BIG step in human achievement. We see collaboration between students. Let say this has a productivity factor of 4 (where 1 is a person working on his own) We see collaborat[ion] of different team[s] working together each focusing on a part of the problem. This has the productivity factor of 16. However if there is [a] well defined guide to community collaboration where the high number of participants can explore all different permutation[s] of a problem, the productivity factor can be 256.

B Shiva Parvathi and Rangoli Patil were the locomotive and co-locomotive pilots of the train, covering 139 km to reach the state capital. Mysore Divisional Railway Manager Aparna Garg told ''Wikinews'' only 10% of the employees in the {{w|Mysore railway division|Mysore Division}} were women, which constitutes about 650 female employees.

This year's theme of the celebration was "Each for Equal", an initiative of Mysore Division. Speaking of the gender-distribution ratio, Garg said "we have ten percent only women employees. Out of a total of, say, 6900 [employees], we have around 650. So that is around ten percent." [[File:Interview with Aparna Garg.flac|thumb|Interview with Mysore Railway Divisional Manager Aparna Garg.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] Garg discussed the challenges faced by women working for the [[Indian Railways]]. "Challenges, I would say, are the same as you find in the society. For a women to achieve something, is not as easy as it is for a man. They have to put double the effort, and the recognition comes very late. And then women are multi-tasking everywhere. So a lady who comes to work in the office: first sees her house and then she comes [to work] and then again she goes back and she does [household work]. So she is much more pressure, and I find them very sincere. Despite all the pressure, I find them extremely sincere and dedicated." She also went on to discuss the remedies. "[W]hat is required at large is a change in the society and the mindset, which should begin in each house. And if we have boys in the house and we have male colleagues, we have to sensitise them more. And so that, once we have the support of these people and their mindset changes, and that is how we can influence the collective consciousness." === 13th [[Stores in Australia lower toilet paper limits per transaction]] === [[File:2020-03-04 Empty supermarket shelves during toilet paper shortage in Sydney due to Coronavirus fears.jpg|alt=Rows of empty shelves|thumb|left|Empty supermarket shelves during toilet paper shortage in [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]].{{image source|paren=yes|Maksym Kozlenko}}]] As the [[SARS-CoV-2]] virus spread in various countries, people started stocking up various things including toilet paper. Stores started limiting the number of packages per transaction. Woolworths and Coles in Australia had initially announced a limit of four-pack of toilet paper, but Coles later declared "many stores are still selling out within an hour of delivery". Both store chains later said only one or two packs could be bought in one purchase transaction. Coles ordered bigger packages from suppliers and increased delivery frequency while Woolworths ordered extra stock to keep up with the requirements. Recycled toilet paper producer ''Who Gives a Crap'' had announced in early March they had run out of stock. ''{{w|News.com.au}}'' reported {{w|Kimberly-Clark}} had been working 24/7 to maintain the supply. == April == === 14th [[Iranian International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career with Wikinews|International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career]] === [[File:Dorsa Derakhshani.png|alt=Derakshani smiling|right|thumb|{{w|Dorsa Derakhshani}} in {{w|Baku}}, 2017{{image|paren=true|Gibraltar Chess Festival}}]] [[File:Interview with IM Dorsa Derakhshani.flac|alt=|thumb|Interview with IM Dorsa Derakhshani.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] In March, ''Wikinews'' interviewed [[Iran]]ian [[chess]] {{w|International Master}} {{w|Dorsa Derakhshani}}, discussing her chess career. Back in 2017, Dorsa, and her younger brother Borna Derakhshani were banned from representing the Iranian national team. Dorsa was banned since she did not wear a ''[[hijab]]'', an [[Islam]]ic headscarf, while competing at the {{w|Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival}} in January 2017. Under the laws of Islamic Republic of Iran, ''hijab'' is a mandatory dress code. Her brother Borna Deraskhsani was banned for playing against [[Israel]]i {{w|Grand Master}} (GM) {{w|Alexander Huzman}} at the same tournament. IM Dorsa Derakhshani said she currently studies {{w|Pre-medical|pre-med}} at {{w|Saint Louis University}} in the [[United States]] and plays for the {{w|United States Chess Federation}}. Derakhshani said {{w|Polgár sisters}} were her inspiration. "I really liked the three sisters of Polgár, 'specially {{w|Judit Polgár|Judit}}. Just because she kept on going and she didn't just want to be the best female chess player. She was in top 10. She was one of the first to break the barriers of gender, especially in chess society." Speaking of the challenges in Iran, Derakhshani said, "one of the big challenges was that there weren't enough tournaments. Because in Iran, women are seen as second-class citizens, so, I wasn't allowed, and women weren't allowed to play, in open tournaments. And there weren't enough women chess players to organise a big event. And so when I was growing up and I was eight, we started — my parents started to request that okay, she is a good child, she should be able to play in male-based tournaments, basically. And they weren't even female tournaments, they were just tournaments. And so when I was eight, and when I was ten, they allowed the children, like the girl childs to play, which was kind of awkward. And then they came up with more flexible rules, like if you are in the national team, you can play whatever tournament you want, if you win your category. But still. It was very {{w|sexist}}." Dorsa Derakhshani said she had decided early on she did not want to play for the Iranian Chess Federation. Derakhshani spent some time in [[Spain]], playing for the {{w|Montcada}} Chess Club. When asked if the Iranian chess players reach out to support her after the federation announced banning her, Derakhshani said, "Very very few. And that was something that I expected to be more. Because all of my high school friends, actually most of my high school, just the class that I had: they reached out and they have a group chat and they were really supportive, my high school friends. But from the chess players, I think, Iranian Chess players, very few, maybe not even five or ten reached out to show their support which was very shocking to me." Speaking of her goals, IM Dorsa Derakhshani said, "I would really like to be in US top five. And I would also really like to be involved in chess as much as I can. I do have my {{w|FIDE trainer}} title, and I would really like to be able to teach more kids. I do have a few students and it seems to be going good, so far. But I would like to understand better how to fix and help the players." === 30th [[Neuroscientists tell Wikinews about empathy and harm aversion observed in lab rats]] === [[File:Harm aversion interview with Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola.webm|left|alt=|thumb|Interview with Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola about empathy and harm aversion observed in lab rats.{{image|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study published in March examined harm {{wikt|aversion|anchor=Noun}} in {{w|Sprague-Dawley rat|laboratory rats}} for {{wikt|conspecific|conspecifics|anchor=Noun}} &mdash; rats not wanting to hurt other members of the same species &mdash; and reported which region of the brain was crucial for it. ''Wikinews'' interviewed two of the authors of the study, Dr {{w|Christian Keysers}} and Dr Valeria Gazzola. In the experiment, the researchers trained lab rats to develop a preference for mechanincal levers, which delivered one pellet of {{w|sucrose}}. After the rats had a developed a preference, the researchers placed another lab rat in an adjacent compartment. This time, when the lever was pressed, an electrical shock was delivered to the other rat, while also delivering a sucrose pellet to the first rat. Researchers observed rats chose to avoid harming their conspecifics even when two sucrose pellets were delivered. The study also showed this behaviour was due to the {{w|anterior cingulate cortex}} (ACC). The researchers repeated the experiment after subjecting the rat's brain to {{w|muscimol}} and deactivating the ACC. The active rats in the test group were no longer averse to harming the victim rats, but degree of harm aversion did not drop in the control group rats. == May == === 22nd [[Astronomer tells Wikinews about discovery of closest black hole known so far]] === [[File:HR 6819.tif|thumb|alt=A bright celestial body with another one orbiting it closely|Artistic impression showing the orbits of the triplet of the {{w|HR 6819}} system.

''Wikinews'' interviewed researcher Thomas Rivinius. Around 1010 ± 195 {{w|light year|light years}} from the Solar System, the new discovery is located in the {{w|Telescopium}} constellation in the {{w|HR 6819}} system. This makes it the first system visible to the naked eye to contain a black hole. Astronomers started observing the system in 1999, Rivinius told ''Wikinews''. Originally thought to be a {{w|binary system}} of {{w|Binary star|stars}}, further examination indicated a third unseen object in the system. The star closer to the Black Hole orbits the black hole in just 40.333 ± 0.004 days. This black hole does not have an {{w|accretion disk}}. Using the {{w|binary mass function}}, the researchers estimated the mass of the black hole is at least 4.2 M☉ ({{w|Solar masses}}; 1 Solar mass = mass of the Sun). Rivinius also said "the first suggestion that it was a black hole surfaced in 2010", and the observations were "made from the {{w|Paranal Observatory}}" in [[Chile]]. == June == === 19th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, May 2020]] === In the first of six monthly articles chronicling the [[2020 United States presidential election]], ''Wikinews'' interviewed [[Michigan]] [[Constitution Party (United States)|Taxpayers Party]] chairman {{w|William Mohr}} and podcaster {{w|Spike Cohen}}, two individuals the [[Constitution Party (United States)|US Constitution Party]] and [[Libertarian Party (United States)|US Libertarian Party]] respectively nominated for vice president at their respective national conventions in May. ''Wikinews'' interviewed a third individual, truck driver {{w|Angela Nicole Walker}}, who was selected in May as the running mate for [[Green Party of the United States|US Green Party]] presidential frontrunner and {{w|Socialist Party USA}} presidential nominee {{w|Howie Hawkins}}. Mohr, the running mate of Constitution Party presidential nominee [[Don Blankenship]], discussed the story behind his nomination for vice president, how his political experience complemented Blankenship's business experience, and the challenges and opportunities the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], which Mohr felt overblown, created for the ticket's ability to gain support. Cohen, the running mate of Libertarian Party presidential nominee {{w|Jo Jorgensen}}, discussed how the wars in [[Iraq]] and [[Afghanistan]] changed his political views from {{w|neoconservatism|neoconservative}} to [[libertarianism|libertarian]], how he planned to campaign with Jorgensen in innovative and traditional manners, and how he hoped to gain traction for the campaign with a focus on libertarian issues, viral social media, and getting into the presidential debates. Walker discussed how she planned to use her political experience to bring people from marginalized communities together, why leftists should vote for her ticket over others, and how she hoped her campaign would unite marginalized communities. === 28th [[Neanderthals 'knew what they were doing': Archæologist Dr Naomi Martisius discusses her findings about Neanderthals' behaviour with Wikinews|Archæologist Dr Naomi Martisius discusses study about Neanderthals' behaviour]] === [[File:Interview with Naomi Martisius about strategic bone tool raw material selection by Neandertals.webm|alt=|thumb|350px|The interview with Dr Naomi Martisius.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study published in May conducted by {{w|archæologist}} Dr Naomi Martisius and other researchers concluded [[Neanderthals]] living in [[Europe]] tens of thousands of years ago were more sophisticated than previously thought. The now-extinct species used to carefully select bones from a particular animal species to manufacture their bone tools, the research showed. The researchers collected bone tools from Abri Peyrony and Pech-de-l’Azé I in [[France]]. The bone tools were just a few centimetres in size and were about 50 thousand years old, Dr Martisius told ''Wikinews''. Microscopy analysis of these bone tools, made from the ribs of large {{w|bovids}}, called ''lissoirs'' (smoothers) suggested Neanderthals used these tools for working animal skin to leathers. Dr Martisius told ''Wikinews'' this was likely due to the physical characteristics of the bovid ribs, which were "thicker" and "stronger" as compared to the "thin and flimsy ribs" of reindeers. The study reported the archæological sites had far many reindeer bones, however, Neanderthals selectively used bones of large bovids for this purpose. For the purpose of this research, the archæologists used a technology called non-destructive Zooarchæology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS). Instead of damaging the bone artefacts in order to discover its origins, the researchers collected {{w|collagen}} from the plastic containers in which these artefacts were kept. Collagen is a type of protein. These bone artefacts were kept in plastic containers: some were kept for about five years, some for just a few months. During this time, the collagen proteins from bone tools were stuck to the walls of their plastic containers. The collagen samples collected from the walls of the containers are broken into smaller molecules called {{w|peptide|peptides}} by using a chemical {{w|enzyme}} called {{w|trypsin}}. One of the advantages of using bovid ribs over reindeer's thin ribs was the bovid ribs would be more resistant to breaking during flexion, Dr Martisius said. Dr Martisius said such non-destructive ZooMS analysis was previously conducted, but for tools no older than a few centuries. She said such an analysis had never been previously conducted for artefacts so ancient. === 30th [[Open source game developer Perttu Ahola talks about Minetest with Wikinews]] === [[File:Celeron55.jpg|thumb|alt=A man seated at a laptop|File photo of Perttu Ahola. {{image|paren=true|Calinou}}]] In June, ''Wikinews'' spoke to [[Finland|Finnish]] [[FLOSS|open-source]] {{w|video game}} developer Perttu Ahola. About ten years ago, Ahola created Minetest, a {{w|sandbox game}} similar to {{w|Minecraft}}. Ahola told ''Wikinews'' he took it as a challenge to create a game like Minnecraft when it was in its {{w|Software release life cycle|alpha version|anchor=Alpha}}. Minetest is a [[FLOSS|free and open-source]] game, which is free for anyone to download and play. It is written in the {{w|C++}} programming language, and the source code is available on code-hosting site [[GitHub]]. According to Ahola, Minetest attempts to run on older hardware, with limited graphics, but to be accessible to more people: those who have outdated technology, and making it available for no cost. Speaking about the development of the game, Ahola said, "It was developed in a very {{w|Iterative and incremental development|iterative manner}}. We've never had to throw away any big parts. Maybe iterative isn't the best word, I mean it was always developed by building on what was previously created. Actually we've had one big change, although it too was an addition: When we went from version 0.3 to 0.4, Minetest gained its {{w|Lua (programming language)|Lua}}-based {{w|modding}} {{w|API}}. It was a really big change in how people thought about and used Minetest." Speaking about his typical day as the core-developer of the game, Ahola said, "Currently, as I'm focusing on some other programming projects outside of Minetest, when I have some free time I still check the Minetest {{w|Internet Relay Chat|IRC}} channels and GitHub to see what's going on, and if I have something to say I'll make a comment about it. Of course I check my emails to see if any automated system has sent me a warning about something and needs fixing, or maybe there's a private message on the forum about some administrative task that needs doing. I might check some system statistics on the VPS [{{w|Virtual Private Server}}] running the forum to make sure it's running smoothly and make sure backups look ok." == July == === 7th [[Astronomer Anthony Boccaletti discusses observation of birth of potential exoplanet with Wikinews|Astronomer Boccaletti discusses observation of birth of potential exoplanet]] === [[File:Interview with Anthony Boccaletti about possible exoplanet formation.webm|alt=|thumb|Interview with Anthony Boccaletti.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study reported in March potential signs of formation of an [[exoplanet]] around the star {{w|AB Aurigae}} &mdash; something never observed before. Located in the {{w|Auriga constellation}}, AB Aurigae is about 520 {{w|light years}} away from the [[Earth]]. The astronomers observed the {{w|protoplanetary disk}} around the star. The astronomers used the [[European Southern Observatory]]'s {{w|Very Large Telescopes}} in [[Chile]] to study this system. ''Wikinews'' caught up with Anthony Boccaletti, one of the authors of the study, to discuss this findings. Boccaletti told ''Wikinews'' "AB Aurigae is a star which is more massive than the Sun, but also very very young". They observed a protoplanetary disc around the young star. The potential to-be planet is roughly about 30 astronomical units from the star, which is almost the same distance between the Sun and {{w|Neptune}}. Boccaletti said "Because we know that the planets are forming when a star is very young; so when it's like one million or five million years old. And it took about probably a million year for a planet to form. So it is important to look at very young planet, if you want to understand how the planet forms, you need to look at very young systems." The researchers used {{w|Adaptive optics|adaptive optics}} and {{w|Coronagraph|coronagraphy}} for this study. Speaking about the type and size of the planet, Boccaletti said, "It will be a giant planet, really. Maybe even bigger than Jupiter. Maybe 10 times the mass of Jupiter. But it couldn't be a planet that is like the Earth. If it were a planet like the Earth, it wouldn't make this kind of spiral. The spiral would not be detectable, in that case. So it's necessarily a very big planet." === 25th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2020]] === [[File:LG PICs 2 002.JPG|thumb|alt=Richardson smiling, wearing a suit|Darcy Richardson in 2011. {{image|Darcy Richardson}}]] In the second of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' interviewed retired marine Billy Joe Parker, vice presidential nominee of the [[Prohibition Party (United States)|US Prohibition Party]], historian [[Darcy Richardson]], vice presidential nominee of the {{w|Alliance Party (United States)|US Alliance}} and [[Reform Party of the United States of America|Reform]] parties, and educator Tiara Lusk, vice presidential nominee of the Life and Liberty Party. Parker was the running mate of Prohibition Party presidential nominee {{w|Phil Collins (politician)|Phil Collins}}, who, in June, unsuccessfully attempted to obtain the presidential nomination of the Reform Party. With ''Wikinews'', Parker discussed his decision in "AD 2005" to join the Prohibition Party due to him being impressed with the party's standards and membership. He explained he felt Collins a much better choice for president than the Republican and Democratic nominees and spoke directly to voters, advising them to make a choice benefitting the children of the nation. Richardson, the running mate of Alliance Party presidential nominee [[Rocky De La Fuente]], secured the vice presidential nomination of the Reform Party, with De La Fuente as the presidential nominee, at the party's national convention in June. Richardson discussed with ''Wikinews'', his plan to campaign for the ticket across the nation, within the confines of COVID-19 restrictions. He compared, unfavorably, President [[Donald Trump]] to President {{w|Zachary Taylor}} and described the then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee [[Joe Biden]] as past his prime. Richardson highlighted the Alliance Party's goal to make the United States into a "gold medal nation." Lusk, who became the first vice presidential nominee of the Life and Liberty at the party's inaugural national convention held virtually in June, was the running mate of the party's founder and presidential nominee J.R. Myers. With ''Wikinews'', Lusk discussed how the Life and Liberty Party has less emphasis on Christianity than the US Constitution Party, how Myers' debate performance impressed her and that led her to join his new party, and said the campaign was focused on healing and uniting the nation. == August == === 13th [[Water main bursts in White Plains, New York, US]] === [[File:2020 White Plains Water Main Break 20200810 (3).jpg|alt=An intersection with caution tape|thumb|240px|left|The burst pipe destroyed the street. {{image|[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]]}}]] In August, a {{w|water main}} broke in the [[US]] city of [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], [[New York State|New York]], cutting off the water supply to most of the city. The burst pipe caused a huge crater to form in a major intersection in the heart of the city, flooding the streets. Emergency crews were on the scene to repair the pipes in order to restore water service. Almost all customers had water restored by the evening of the same day. ''Wikinews'' was on the scene around 6:20 pm local time and could observe a large crater in the street caused by the amount of water from the burst pipe. Crews from the Department of Public Works as well as some the fire department were there. Water was no longer rushing uncontrolled into the street. Shortly thereafter, at 6:30 pm, the city issued a follow-up statement announcing the break had been contained by DPW. Residents were advised to expect the water to perhaps be "discolored" when it initially returned. === 25th [[Caloundra defeat Wynnum in fourth round of 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season|Caloundra defeat Wynnum in round 4 of Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season]] === [[File:Caloundra_bench_at_A_grade_game_v_Wynnum_2020–08–15.jpg|right|alt=Football players seated on the ground at the sideline of the field|thumb|Caloundra's bench during the first half.{{image|[[User:RockerballAustralia|Patrick Gillett]]}}]] In August, [[Caloundra Rugby Union Club|Caloundra]] defeated {{w|Wynnum Rugby Union Club|Wynnum}} 45&ndash;24 in their Round 4 [[Sunshine Coast Rugby Union]] match which was played at the Grenada Street ground in Wynnum. Caloundra's half back Jarrod Kidston said, "Yeah it was a good start from us, probably the best start from us in a while. Then we just made a couple of mistakes and let them back in the game. They're a good outfit so they put points on pretty quick." Wynnum coach Matt Myers said "We got back on even and managed to go try for try for a couple [...] [We] let them [have the] momentum [and they were] over the top, they got a roll on". === 31st [[On the campaign trail in the USA, July 2020]] === In the third of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' interviewed teacher Amar Patel, vice presidential nominee of the {{w|American Solidarity Party}}, filmmaker John de Graaf, vice presidential nominee of the Bread and Roses Party, and engineer Eric Bodenstab, vice presidential nominee of the [[Unity Party of America]]. Patel, on the ticket with Solidarity Party presidential nominee {{w|Brian T. Carroll}}, secured ballot access in [[Illinois]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', Patel discussed Carroll asking him to join the ticket, how he used Twitter to complement Carroll's use of Facebook to spread the campaign message, and listed all the states, in addition to Illinois, where the ticket had obtained or was in the process of obtaining ballot access. De Graaf, on the inaugural ticket with Bread and Roses presidential nominee {{w|Jerome Segal}}, secured ballot access in [[Vermont]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', de Graaf described the Bread and Roses Party's focus on quality of life issues, how his background as a documentary filmmaker complemented Segal's academic background, discussed the "Beauty New Deal", and emphasized the party's goal of educating the populace and providing a leftist alternative in non-swing states like Vermont. Bodenstab, on the inaugural ticket with Unity Party founder and presidential nominee Bill Hammons, secured ballot access in [[New Jersey]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', Bodenstab explained why his party decided to field a presidential ticket, described his efforts of building grassroots support in places without much personal connection, and basked in the moment of him and Hammons building a political party and running for president as ordinary citizens. == September == === 1st [[University defeat Maroochydore in round five of 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season|University defeat Maroochydore in round 5 of Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season]] === [[File:EDIT Maroochydore v University 2020–08–29 1.jpg|left|alt=Two rugby teams on the field|thumb|Maroochydore played much of the first half in their attacking half. They went into the break down by only two points – 12 points to 10. {{image|paren=yes|[[user:RockerballAustralia|Patrick Gillett]]}}]] In the round five of Australian [[Sunshine Coast Rugby Union]], [[University of the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union Club|University]] defeated [[Maroochydore Rugby Union Club|Maroochydore]] 22&ndash;10. "We turned up here knowing we'd be in for a battle [...] They pushed [reigning premiers] Caloundra and they pushed Noosa. We knew the were looking for a scalp. To Maroochydore's credit, they've made some big improvements since last season. I think as the season goes on they'll keep getting better and better, as well", Brad Tronc, University's coach, said. Maroochydore assistant coach Ben Radmall said it was a hard and physical match. "It was pretty set piece dominated there for the last twenty minutes[...] [It was] a pretty physical game out there this afternoon. It was a good hit out. We're sore after that one", he said. === 30th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, August 2020]] === [[File:Jo Jorgensen at podium 1 (crop 1).jpg|alt=Jorgensen holding a microphone, standing at a lectern|thumb|Jo Jorgensen campaigning in August 2020{{image|Jo Jorgensen for President}}]] In the fourth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' took a deeper look into an August bat attack on Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen, highlighted three points of controversy in the [[American Independent Party]]'s presidential nomination of Rocky De La Fuente for president and entertainer {{w|Kanye West}} for vice president at its August convention, and examined questions about the citizenship of Senator [[Kamala Harris]], whom then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden selected as his running mate in August. A bat bit Jorgensen on the chin in early August. ''Wikinews'' reached out to Jorgensen's campaign manager and deputy campaign manager who witnessed the attack first hand. ''Wikinews'' recounted the treatment Jorgensen received while on the campaign trail and noted the impact the story had on the visibility of the campaign as it attempted to gain in the polls to qualify for the official presidential debates. In mid-August, the American Independent Party, with ballot access in the most populous US state of [[California]], nominated De La Fuente for president and West for vice president. This created some dissention between De La Fuente and his running mate in all the other states, Darcy Richardson. ''Wikinews'' spoke to Richardson, who felt the American Independent Party was using De La Fuente and West in an attempt to assist the campaign of President Donald Trump. At the time, West was running for president as the nominee of his creation, the Birthday Party. ''Wikinews'' examined public statements from leaders of the American Independent Party, revealing their goal of helping the Trump campaign. Additionally, ''Wikinews'' uncovered FEC documents showing a series of payments from De La Fuente to the vice-chairman of the American Independent Party in the months leading up to the party's August convention. In public statements ''Wikinews'' reported, the same aforementioned leaders of American Independent Party, questioned the eligibility of Kamala Harris upon her selection as Biden's running mate, based on the citizenship of her parents at her birth. ''Wikinews'' documented a minority of legal experts, including "Birther King" [[Andy Martin]], who agreed in part with the leaders of the party, and highlighted the legal majority that discounted the "birther" arguments entirely and likened them to those questioning the citizenship of former president [[Barack Obama]]. == October == === 19th [[Wikinews interviews Don Blankenship, U.S. Constitution Party presidential nominee|Interview with Don Blankenship, U.S. Constitution Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Don Blankenship Image (cropped).jpeg|alt=Blankenship wearing a suit, looking to the camera|thumb|Don Blankenship {{image|[[c:Special:Contributions/Brianhayden1980|Brianhayden1980]]}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed businessman Don Blankenship, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Constitution Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Blankenship named {{w|George Washington}} as the past US president he most admires. He cited multiple aspects providing him with the experience to perform the duties of the presidency such as: previously dealing with the government, knowing government's flaws, being poor, being rich, serving in federal prison, and defeating the establishment. He identified his leadership style as rooted in "truth and conviction." The COVID-19 pandemic restricted his ability to obtain ballot access in many states. He lamented he would only receive half of the votes anticipated due to pandemic-related limitations, and argued if he had been president during the start of the pandemic he would have quarantined those with symptoms, protected elderly people, and allowed young people to work. As president, Blankenship said he would reduce the number of cabinet members and appoint those who previously have not worked in government. He would choose judges based on their fidelity to the US Constitution and would apply pressure to Congress based on "common sense" without drama and hyperbole. Politically, Blankenship opposed any government action to combat climate change, argued for less intervention in the affairs of other nations and for most US troops abroad to be brought back to the US. He derided social media censorship, endorsed an end to illegal immigration to the US, and endorsed education equality based on location rather than race. In his final plea to voters, Blankenship quoted the inaugural address of President {{w|John F. Kennedy}} as crucial to maintaining the survival of the United States, "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." === 22nd [[Wikinews interviews 2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor Candidate Wayne Tseng]] === [[File:Portrait of Wayne Tseng.jpeg|alt=Tseng smiling|thumb|200px|Portrait of Wayne Tseng{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] In October, ''Wikinews'' spoke with 2020 [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]] {{w|Lord Mayor}} candidate Wayne Tseng about his election campaign. Tseng runs a firm called eTranslate, which helps software developers to make the software available to the users. Tseng discussed his plans for leading Melbourne, recovering from [[COVID-19]], and "Democracy 2.0" to ensure concerns of minorities in the city were also heard. Tseng also focused on the importance of the multi-culture aspect and talked about making Melbourne the capital of the {{w|aboriginal|aboriginals}}. Tseng also explained why he thinks Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030. At that time, {{w|Sally Capp}} was the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]]n capital. Capp was elected as an interim Lord Mayor in mid-2018 after the former Lord Mayor {{w|Robert Doyle}} resigned from his position after [[sexual assault]] allegations. Speaking of Capp's governance, Tseng said, "I do appreciate the hard work Sally did to bridge the political divide in a council chamber she inherited. This year the pandemic has made her work even harder as for any other leaders. But what she fall short off is to stand up to the State Government (provincial government) which [has] restricted the city ability to take its own decisive action to better protect the city." Tseng proposed the plan of "Re-open, Reset, Reform". "My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery. There is a comprehensive plan for recovery in all sectors from business to residents. See attached document", Tseng said. Also speaking about the multi-cultural aspects of Melbourne, Tseng said: "The distribution of indigenous people depends on a lot of factors. These again due to historical reasons that we can go on forever. [There] are tens of indigenous tribes across the country. Sadly some were hunted to extinction in the last century, particularly in [[Tasmania]]. Mak[ing] a location a capital for the First Nations people will be symbolic rather than totally enshrine[d] in law. Ideally it would be best in the {{w|City of Darwin}}. But unless I was a mayor there, it may not happen. So having [it] in Melbourne does allow some symbolic and provide a forum for the different tribes to gather and have open discussions. The 'capital' can rotate from city to city periodically if other cities allow. But ultimately it will be up to the elders to approve." === 22nd [[Wikinews interviews Phil Collins, U.S. Prohibition Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:PhilCollins.webp|alt=Collins smiling|thumb|Phil Collins {{image|Prohibition Party}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed former {{w|Libertyville Township, Illinois}} trustee Phil Collins, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Prohibition Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Collins named {{w|Abraham Lincoln}} and [[Ronald Reagan]] as the past US presidents he most admires. He cited his 21 years of military service including a stop outside [[Baghdad]] and his background in government as a township trustee as providing him the experience in leadership to serve as President. He described his personal leadership style as focused on following the US Constitution. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted his ability to obtain ballot access in many states, namely [[Tennessee]]. Nevertheless, he was able to obtain more ballot access than his party's 2016 ticket and so anticipated receiving more votes. For the pandemic, he outlined a plan to encourage cooperation among the different US states and find out how the states with fewer infections did so in a televised press conference. As president, he said he would nominate a cabinet made up of people who could work with members of his own party as well as the Democratic and Republican parties. He singled out former {{w|United States Secretary of Defense|Defense Secretary}} {{w|Robert Gates}} as his choice for {{w|United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State}}. As for the others, he said he would seek input from fellow Prohibition Party leadership. For Supreme Court nominations, Collins said he would nominate current federal judges who base their opinions on the US Constitution. He planned to connect with members on a personal level in order to pass his agenda in Congress. On the issues, Collins said he would combat climate change through recommendations from former leaders of the {{w|United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA}}. He proposed splitting the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh area between Armenia and Azerbaijan to resolve their differences. To avoid social media censorship, he said he would encourage the people of the US to use alternatives. As for race relations, Collins proposed more advertising for federal government positions aimed at minorities, and the posting of federal anti-discrimination rules in each federal office. === 23rd [[Wikinews interviews Bill Hammons, Unity Party of America presidential nominee]] === [[File:Bill Hammons.jpg|alt=Hammons smiling|thumb|Bill Hammons {{image|Bill Hammons}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed entrepreneur Bill Hammons, 2020 presidential nominee of the Unity Party of America, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Hammons named {{w|George Washington}} as the past US president he most admires. He cited his experience as the founder and chairman of the Unity Party, his time managing ''Newsweek'' magazine, and founding of the site ''Bill's List'' as providing him with the experience to be president. Hammons described his leadership style as centrist, looking to others from all sides for input. Had he been president at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hammons said he would use the {{w|Defense Production Act}} to produce the supplies to combat the coronavirus, expand testing, use social media to trace those infected, and convert unused hotels as a place to house the quarantined. Before the pandemic, Hammons explained he campaigned door-to-door but afterwards made use of targeted phone calls and text messages to reach voters. Despite the pandemic, he predicted growth for the Unity Party. Hammons planned to fill his cabinet with a "Team of Rivals" like that of Abraham Lincoln's administration. He said he would look at a judge's common sense to determine who to nominate to the Supreme Court and devised a plan to prevent future {{w|Court packing}} with a Constitutional amendment. For dealing with Congress, Hammons emphasized the use of compromise. As for policy matters, for dealing with climate change, Hammons said he would take advice from billionaire [[Bill Gates]], {{w|Harvard University|Harvard}} scientists, and explore the distribution of cooling material into the atmosphere. He endorsed the use of US peacemakers to resolve the [[Armenia]]-[[Azerbaijan]] {{w|2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war|conflict}}, and argued that [[Facebook]] and other social media were doing a good job of striking a balance between freedom of expression and the protection of democracy. He proposed changing the motto of [[Black Lives Matter]] to "Black Lives Matter Too" and {{w|Defund the Police}} to "Refund the Police", and the nation could then "take a sober look at how we can be a more harmonious nation going forward". === 26th [[GitHub blocks public access to youtube-dl after RIAA issues DMCA notice]] === [[File:Philipp Hagemeister.jpeg|alt=Hagemeister smiling|thumb|Philipp Hagemeister had previously maintained youtube-dl's source code{{image|Philipp Hagemeister}}]] In October, after reciving a [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] (DMCA) take-down notice from the {{w|Recording Industry Association of America}} (RIAA), code hosting and sharing website [[GitHub]] blocked the public access to {{w|youtube-dl}}, a software which can download videos from the internet via the {{w|command-line}}. RIAA's DMCA notice alleged the script's purpose of existence was to "circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube" and "reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use". youtube-dl has multiple unit tests in its source code, which test whether the software works in different circumstances or not. One of the tests included the URL of some copyrighted songs. ''Wikinews'' spoke with a former maintainer and contributor of the youtube-dl project Philipp Hagemeister about this blocking. Hagemeister told ''Wikinews'', "youtube-dl downloads and plays videos and music, just like any other web browser, from over 1000 different services. Its uses are varied: It enables video playback on many devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi) where the video services don't work properly, it makes high-quality video playable for people with a bad or no Internet connection, it enables disabled users to use tools to play videos, and it is used for archival and research." GitHub's DMCA repository, where the takedown notice was published for public viewing, was subject to contant vandalism from multiple GitHub users. One user submitted a {{w|pull request}}, {{w|Merge (version control)|merging}} the source code of youtube-dl along with the DMCA repository. This enabled users to view youtube-dl's source code from within the DMCA repository, provided they know the commit id. The [[Electronic Frontier Foundation]] said on [[Twitter]] "Youtube-dl is a legitimate tool with a world of a lawful uses. Demanding its removal from Github is a disappointing and counterproductive move by the RIAA." Soon after the public access to the repository was locked, multiple users started sharing the source code via self-hosted {{w|git}} servers, {{w|Tor (anonymity network)|Tor}} sites and via the {{w|BitTorrent|Torrent protocol}} leading to a [[Streisand effect]]. Streisand effect is when a measure to censor information causes further spread of that information. === 29th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, September 2020]] === In the fifth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' reported on the Libertarian Party ticket of Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen achieving ballot access in all 50 states in September, examined the proposal of Unity Party presidential nominee Bill Hammons to prevent future packing of the [[United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] amid the death of Justice [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], and documented the positions of multiple presidential candidates on the [[Armenia]]-[[Azerbaijan]] conflict that intensified in September. The Jorgensen-Cohen ticket attained ballot access in all 50 US states in early September; noteworthy due to the restrictions placed on petitioning with the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing. ''Wikinews'' looked back at past third party and Independent presidential tickets that achieved the same feat. One of those tickets was that of the Libertarian Party in 1996 that included Jorgensen as the running mate for {{w|Harry Browne}}. In September, the death of liberal Justice Ginsburg and nomination of conservative Judge {{w|Amy Coney Barrett}} as her replacement led to calls from some Democrats to add more justices. ''Wikinews'' spoke with presidential candidate Hammons, who proposed fixing the number of justices at 13, the number of federal circuit courts, with a constitutional amendment to prevent Court packing. As the conflict between the nations of Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of {{w|Nagorno-Karabakh}} increased in September, ''Wikinews'' asked Jorgensen, Constitution Party presidential nominee Don Blankenship, and Prohibition Party presidential nominee Phil Collins for their positions on the matter. While Jorgensen and Blankenship argued the US should remain out of the conflict and let the nations resolve it themselves, Collins proposed the disputed region be split in half. === 29th [[Wikinews interviews Jo Jorgensen, U.S. Libertarian Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Jo Jorgensen portrait 1 (crop 1).jpg|alt=Jorgensen smiling|thumb|Jo Jorgensen{{image|Jo Jorgensen for President}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed psychology professor Jo Jorgensen, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Libertarian Party, about her background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on her 2020 presidential campaign, her political agenda, and policy positions. Jorgensen named {{w|Thomas Jefferson}} as the past US president she most admires. She cited the knowledge, instilled in her from her grandmother who migrated from [[Denmark]], that business and family work better without government interference, as the most important preparation for an individual to have to serve as president. Jorgensen cited her leadership style as "{{w|Primum non nocere|first, do no harm}}." If she were president at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jorgensen says she would have prevented government agencies from blocking access to free market solutions, used the bully pulpit of the presidency to encourage the wearing of masks and social distancing, and put an end to pandemic-related lockdowns. Because of the pandemic, Jorgensen says her campaign events had limited participants and that the restrictions hampered her campaign ground game. However, she was able to use social media to reach potential voters. She acknowledged her lack of name recognition made it difficult initially but was satisfied with her position in opinion polls and felt it was a victory that the major party candidates discussed liberty issues such as lowering taxes, bring US troops back to the US, and suspending the {{w|war on drugs}}. She hoped her campaign would be remembered for her pledge to "make America like one giant [[Switzerland]], armed and neutral." For her cabinet, Jorgensen said she would invite policy analysts from the {{w|Cato Institute}} and {{w|Reason Foundation}}, others who advocate for smaller government, and libertarians who hold elected office as Democrats and Republicans. She cited the presidential veto as her biggest tool when dealing with Congress, and endorsed smaller budgets, cannabis decriminalization, and reform of criminal law. Jorgensen said she would pardon all imprisoned for a non-violent drug offenses and whistleblowers like [[Edward Snowden]] and [[Julian Assange]]. As commander-in-chief of the military, she planned to bring home all overseas US troops. As for policy matters, Jorgensen called for an end to subsidies to the energy sector, particularly that of fossil fuels, and for an increased focus on nuclear power. She argued for staying out of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict entirely and that she was more concerned with government censorship than censorship from social media platforms. As for improving race relations, Jorgensen endorsed criminal justice reform including reforms of police tactics and decriminalization of victimless crimes, and for an end to licensing laws restricting equal opportunity in economics. === 30th [[Wikinews interviews Brian Carroll, American Solidarity Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Brian T. Carroll - head shot .75 aspect ratio.png|alt=Carroll smiling|thumb|Brian T. Carroll.{{image|Roy Dressel}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed retired teacher Brian Carroll, 2020 presidential nominee of the American Solidarity Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. As a past history teacher, Carroll gave his opinion on many presidents, adding he had recently acquired an appreciation for {{w|Ulysses S. Grant}}. He cited his teaching and experience in raising community awareness as the political experience he needed for the role of president. Carroll described his leadership style as opposite that of President Trump, which he felt included listening to experts and hiring an organized staff. For the COVID-19 pandemic, Carroll said he would have used the guidelines of President Barack Obama and employed the Defense Production Act. He explained that rather than campaigning, the pandemic had kept him at home with his wife, which he considered a blessing. Personally, he felt the pandemic was less stressful than for others. However, he expected to perform better in the presidential election than the ticket his party nominated in 2016. Carroll said he wanted to nominate a cabinet that would work with Congress with an emphasis on bipartisanship. Specifically, he said he would ask the {{w|Climate Solutions Caucus}} and the {{w|Problem Solvers Caucus}} for cabinet recommendations. For the Supreme Court, Carroll wanted judges with opinions more aligned with consumers and workers than corporations. On the issue of climate change, Carroll favored less reliance on carbon energy and endorsed {{w|Thorium-based nuclear power|thorium nuclear}} as well as solar, wind, thermal, and carbon capture technologies. On other issues, Carroll opposed any military intervention in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict but called for diplomatic maneuvers. He said we should be patient with social media as it is in its teen years, and said that race relations were a high priority and that he agreed with many policy recommendations in the Contract with Black America. In his final plea to voters, Carroll argued that while the major parties focus on panic, the Solidarity Party stands for hope. == November == === 2nd [[On the campaign trail in the USA, October 2020]] === In the sixth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' covered two debates of independent and third party presidential candidates that the {{w|Free and Equal Elections Foundation}} held in October. Three third party presidential candidates that did not participate in either of those debates provided ''Wikinews'' with their final pleas to voters. Additionally, three political pundits gave their predictions on the ultimate outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The Free and Equal Elections Foundation held two debates in October for which ''Wikinews'' provided detailed summaries. Free and Equal's founder and director Christina Tobin moderated both debates. The first debate featured Independent presidential candidate {{w|Brock Pierce}}, Green Party presidential nominee Howie Hawkins, Constitution Party presidential nominee Don Blankenship, American Solidarity Party presidential nominee Brian Carroll, and {{w|Party for Socialism and Liberation}} presidential nominee {{w|Gloria La Riva}}. All of these candidates participated in the second debate except for Blankenship. ''Wikinews'' sought out some of the other third party and independent presidential candidates that did not participate in either October debate to obtain a final plea to voters. Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen, Prohibition Party presidential nominee Phil Collins, and Unity Party presidential nominee Bill Hammons each provided a statement. Jorgensen directed her message to disaffected Democrats and Republicans, telling both to "Be Bold. Vote Gold." Collins discussed the harmful effects of alcohol and mentioned that his party supports a balanced budget, gun rights, and opposes abortion. Hammons argued he could be in the running in a close election if he obtained just one electoral vote and asked voters to "vote their conscience." ''Wikinews'' sought out election predictions from political blogger Thomas Knapp, senior news analyst of the William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism, former Congressman [[Tom Tancredo]], and attorney Ron Gunzburger, founder of Politics1.com. Whereas Knapp and Gunzburger predicted a victory for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Tancredo predicted President Donald Trump would be re-elected in a landslide victory. === 27th [[Wikinews interviews Sandra Jephcott, Sustainable Australia candidate for 2020 Groom by-election|Interview with Sandra Jephcott, Sustainable Australia candidate for Groom by-election]] === [[File:Sandra Jephcott headshot Sustainable Australia Party.jpg|alt=Jephcott smiling|thumb|Portrait of Jephcott.{{image|{{w|Sustainable Australia}}}}]] Following the resignation of {{w|Division of Groom}}'s MP {{w|John McVeigh}} for family reasons, the Australian {{w|electoral district}} in [[Queensland]] had a by-election. Sandra Jephcott of the {{w|Sustainable Australia}} party was one of the four candidates running for the by-election. ''Wikinews'' spoke with Jephcott about her campaign. According to the party's website, Jephcott is a {{w|veterinarian}} and farmer, who has completed a veterinary degree from the [[University of Queensland]], as well as a {{w|Master of Business Affairs}} at {{w|Bond University}} and a {{w|Master of Science}} at {{w|James Cook University}}. Sandra Jephcott spoke about overdevelopment and corruption as some of her priorities. "I believe that the Groom by-election offers voters an opportunity to send a message to the two major parties that we're not happy with business as usual politics &mdash; including rampant overdevelopment and systemic political corruption that negatively impacts on the environment." She also spoke about the plans to combat [[climate change]]. "Net zero or net negative Australian greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (or ideally sooner)", Jephcott said. === 27th [[Wikinews interviews Craig Farquharson, Liberal Democrat candidate for 2020 Groom by-election|Interview with Craig Farquharson, Liberal Democrat candidate for Groom by-election]] === [[File:Portrait of Craig Farquharson.png|alt=Farquharson speaking|thumb|200px|Portrait of Craig Farquharson.{{image|{{w|Liberal Democratic Party (Australia)|Liberal Democrats - Queensland}}}}]] ''Wikinews'' also interviewed Craig Farquharson, who was the {{w|Liberal Democrats (Australia)|Liberal Democrat}} candidate for the 2020 Groom by-election following John McVeigh's resignation as the MP. Farquharson told ''Wikinews'', "What prompted me to run as a candidate in Groom is, because as a small business owner, I could not get my elected MP to talk to me or even to call me back. I became "cheesed off" with elected representatives who are inaccessible to their electorate, and resolved to do something about it. I have pledged that if elected I will be as accessible as possible to voters in my electorate. After 36 years of being a safe Coalition seat, the electorate is ready for change, and wants the additional attention that a more marginal electorate gets, or alternately another party to represent them." Spaking for the Liberal Democrats, Farquharson said they "would like to see some of the restrictions relaxed to enable people to take personal responsibility for their own health. We do not believe recreational drug use should be criminalised — this is harmful to society and funnels money to dangerous gangs via the black market. We believe that drug abuse is a separate matter to use, and should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal matter." Speaking about coal mining and renewable energy sources, Farquharson said: "While Australia can switch to alternative technologies to generate power and for energy, many undeveloped nations depend on cheap electricity to lift their billions out of poverty. And responding to this demand, providing a better quality of coal would not only be an environmental improvement, for humanity and for alleviation of global poverty, it is the right thing to do." == December == === 14th [[Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream; CentOS team discuss implications with Wikinews|Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream]] === [[File:Centos-logo-light.svg|alt=The CentOS logo with a series of colorful arrows overlapping|thumb|Logo of CentOS.{{image|{{w|CentOS}}}}]] US-based [[software]] company {{w|Red Hat}} announced they were shifting their investments from {{w|CentOS Linux}} to a rolling-release of CentOS Stream as an upstream for the development of {{w|Red Hat Enterprise Linux}} (RHEL). This led to many users expressing their frustration on {{w|Internet Relay Chat}} (IRC), [[Reddit]] and CentOS project's mailing list. CentOS has been in existence sincne 2004, providing the freely-licensed RHEL for no cost. It was absorbed by Red Hat in 2014, and in the process, Red Hat gained the trademark rights of "CentOS". Stream was announced in September 2019, months after [[IBM]] acquired Red Hat. One of the {{w|quality assurance}} team of CentOS team, Pablo Greco, told ''Wikinews'', "I've been using Stream for most of my things ever since it came out, and I love the idea for it. The only problem is that Stream is being used as an excuse to kill CentOS, and that's the part I hate." CentOS 8's {{w|End of Life}} (EOL) was cut short from 2029 to December 2021, while CentOS 7's EOL is in 2024. ''Wikinews'' spoke to Greco, as well as CentOS project's community manager Rich Bowen, who also works for Red Hat. Greco told ''Wikinews'' CentOS "used to be rock solid distribution, with almost everything that RHEL has, but without all the hassle or the costs of a RHEL license, and obviously without the main benefit of RHEL which is the support." Bowen said, "One of the exciting things about the move to CentOS Stream is it's designed to be an actual contributor community, rather than the legacy CentOS Linux that is almost entirely a consumer community." === 18th [[Gregory Kurtzer discusses plans for Rocky Linux with Wikinews as Red Hat announces moving focus away from CentOS|Gregory Kurtzer discusses plans for Rocky Linux]] === [[File:Gregory Kurtzer.jpg|left|alt=Kurtzer smiling|thumb|Gregory Kurtzer announced Rocky Linux to take the place of CentOS.{{image|Gregory Kurtzer}}]] [[File:Rocky Linux wordmark.svg|alt=The Rokcy Linux logo|thumb|Logo of Rocky Linux{{image|Josh Urbain and Hayden Young}}]] After Red Hat's announcement to stop investing in CentOS, Gregory Kurtzer announced {{w|Rocky Linux}} to fill in the void of CentOS. Kurtzer had started CAOS Linux, which was then succeeded by CentOS when Rocky McGaugh, a developer of CAOS rebuilt the source code of RHEL to provide a monetarily free alternative. "Thinking back to early CentOS days... My cofounder was Rocky McGaugh. He is no longer with us, so as a H/T [{{w|hat tip}}] to him, who never got to see the success that CentOS came to be, I introduce to you...Rocky Linux", Kurtzer said to announce the project. Kurtzer discussed the origins of CentOS and plans for Rocky Linux in an interview with ''Wikinews''. Speaking of Rocky Linux, Kurtzer said the "goal is to be {{w|Bug compatibility|bug-for-bug}} compatible with RHEL and provide a long life for enterprise needs." He also said existing CentOS operating systems can be converted to Rocky Linux by executing a single command. Though no formal date of release has been announced, Kurtzer said, it can be expected "near the end of Q1 or beginning of Q2 2021", and both {{w|x86-64}} as well as {{w|ARM architecture}} will be supported. There are about 65&nbsp;developers working on the CentOS replacement, Kurtzer said. He also added, "My commitment to the project is that Rocky will always remain in the best interest of the community and everyone who wishes to be part of the organization, with good intentions, will be welcomed. Since day one, Rocky's coordination efforts have been completely transparent." === 25th [['Earth-based life can survive in hydrogen-rich atmospheres': MIT professor Dr Seager tells Wikinews about her research on organisms thriving in oxygen-less environment|Dr Seager tells about organisms thriving in oxygen-less environment]] === [[File:Sara Seager CHF-Cain-Conference-May-2016-059.jpg|alt=Seager speaking into a microphne, standing at a lectern|thumb|File photo of Dr Sara Seager.{{image|Conrad Erb}}]] A study published by [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] professor Dr {{w|Sara Seager}} and other researchers in May showed {{w|Unicellular organism|single-celled organisms}} like ''{{w|E. coli}}'' and ''{{w|yeast}}'' were able to survive in 100% {{w|hydrogen gas}} as well as 100% {{w|helium gas}} atmosphere. ''Wikinews'' reached out to Dr Seager to discuss the findings of this study in which organisms thrived in an oxygen-less environment. The study reported the organisms were reproducing normally in both 100% H₂ and 100% He environment. However, the {{w|Sigmoid function|sigmoid}}-shaped {{w|Growth curve (biology)|growth curve}} was not on par with 100% air. ''E. coli'' and yeast switch from {{w|Cellular respiration|ærobic respiration}}, which uses oxygen, to {{w|Anaerobic respiration|anærobic respiration}} and {{w|fermentation}}. Both processes are less efficient and do not produce as much energy as ærobic respiration. "There's a diversity of habitable worlds out there, and we have confirmed that Earth-based life can survive in hydrogen-rich atmospheres. We should definitely add those kinds of planets to the menu of options when thinking of life on other worlds, and actually trying to find it", Professor Seager said. The research paper reported ''E. coli'' releases a number of gases when it lives in hydrogen-based atmosphere including {{w|ammonia}}, {{w|methanethiol}}, {{w|dimethylsulfide}}, {{w|carbonyl sulfide}}, {{w|carbonyl disulfide}} and {{w|nitrous oxide}}. These gases can serve as biosignature gases which can help astronomers detect and study potential life on exoplanets. {{HYS}} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Original reporting]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Wikinews overview|2020]] a9o3zjj6wwg13ojl50tgql0xp4x74mt 5024829 5024828 2026-05-04T04:36:18Z Acagastya 1526439 /* 14th Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream */ iwl 5024829 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|January 1, 2021}} After an active year of [[WN:OR|original content]] published on the English-language ''Wikinews'', we take a look back at some of the two dozen-plus original reports from our contributors during 2020. == March == {{TOCright-small}} === 6th [[Indian Railway: all-women crew steers Tippu Express ahead of International Women's Day|All-women crew steers Tippu Express ahead of International Women's Day]] === [[File:All-women crew steers Tippu Express (3).jpg|alt=A line of women outside of a train|left|thumb|All-women crew prior to the departure of {{w|Tippu Express}} on Thursday. {{image|{{w|Mysore railway division|Mysore Division}}, {{w|South Western Railway zone|South Western Railway}}}}]] As a part of a ten-day celebration of International Women's Day, an all-women crew ran the [[Mysuru]]-[[Bengaluru]] {{w|Tippu Express}} in the {{w|South Western Railway zone|South Western Railway}} region of [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. B Shiva Parvathi and Rangoli Patil were the locomotive and co-locomotive pilots of the train, covering 139 km to reach the state capital. Mysore Divisional Railway Manager Aparna Garg told ''Wikinews'' only 10% of the employees in the {{w|Mysore railway division|Mysore Division}} were women, which constitutes about 650 female employees. The celebration had started on March 1. === 8th [[Wikinews discusses International Women's Day celebration with Mysore Divisional Railway Manager|Mysore Divisional Railway Manager discusses International Women's Day celebration]] === [[File:Mysore Divisional Railway Manager Aparna Garg (original file).jpg|alt=Garg seated at a table|left|thumb|Aparna Garg, the Mysore Divisional Railway Manager discussed about this year's initiatives for International Women's Day by South Western Railway's Mysore division with ''Wikinews'' {{image|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] ''Wikinews'' spoke with Mysore Divisional Railway Manager Aparna Garg about the ten-day campaign around International Women's Day. This year's theme of the celebration was "Each for Equal", an initiative of Mysore Division. Speaking of the gender-distribution ratio, Garg said "we have ten percent only women employees. Out of a total of, say, 6900 [employees], we have around 650. So that is around ten percent." [[File:Interview with Aparna Garg.flac|thumb|Interview with Mysore Railway Divisional Manager Aparna Garg.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] Garg discussed the challenges faced by women working for the [[Indian Railways]]. "Challenges, I would say, are the same as you find in the society. For a women to achieve something, is not as easy as it is for a man. They have to put double the effort, and the recognition comes very late. And then women are multi-tasking everywhere. So a lady who comes to work in the office: first sees her house and then she comes [to work] and then again she goes back and she does [household work]. So she is much more pressure, and I find them very sincere. Despite all the pressure, I find them extremely sincere and dedicated." She also went on to discuss the remedies. "[W]hat is required at large is a change in the society and the mindset, which should begin in each house. And if we have boys in the house and we have male colleagues, we have to sensitise them more. And so that, once we have the support of these people and their mindset changes, and that is how we can influence the collective consciousness." === 13th [[Stores in Australia lower toilet paper limits per transaction]] === [[File:2020-03-04 Empty supermarket shelves during toilet paper shortage in Sydney due to Coronavirus fears.jpg|alt=Rows of empty shelves|thumb|left|Empty supermarket shelves during toilet paper shortage in [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]].{{image source|paren=yes|Maksym Kozlenko}}]] As the [[SARS-CoV-2]] virus spread in various countries, people started stocking up various things including toilet paper. Stores started limiting the number of packages per transaction. Woolworths and Coles in Australia had initially announced a limit of four-pack of toilet paper, but Coles later declared "many stores are still selling out within an hour of delivery". Both store chains later said only one or two packs could be bought in one purchase transaction. Coles ordered bigger packages from suppliers and increased delivery frequency while Woolworths ordered extra stock to keep up with the requirements. Recycled toilet paper producer ''Who Gives a Crap'' had announced in early March they had run out of stock. ''{{w|News.com.au}}'' reported {{w|Kimberly-Clark}} had been working 24/7 to maintain the supply. == April == === 14th [[Iranian International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career with Wikinews|International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career]] === [[File:Dorsa Derakhshani.png|alt=Derakshani smiling|right|thumb|{{w|Dorsa Derakhshani}} in {{w|Baku}}, 2017{{image|paren=true|Gibraltar Chess Festival}}]] [[File:Interview with IM Dorsa Derakhshani.flac|alt=|thumb|Interview with IM Dorsa Derakhshani.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] In March, ''Wikinews'' interviewed [[Iran]]ian [[chess]] {{w|International Master}} {{w|Dorsa Derakhshani}}, discussing her chess career. Back in 2017, Dorsa, and her younger brother Borna Derakhshani were banned from representing the Iranian national team. Dorsa was banned since she did not wear a ''[[hijab]]'', an [[Islam]]ic headscarf, while competing at the {{w|Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival}} in January 2017. Under the laws of Islamic Republic of Iran, ''hijab'' is a mandatory dress code. Her brother Borna Deraskhsani was banned for playing against [[Israel]]i {{w|Grand Master}} (GM) {{w|Alexander Huzman}} at the same tournament. IM Dorsa Derakhshani said she currently studies {{w|Pre-medical|pre-med}} at {{w|Saint Louis University}} in the [[United States]] and plays for the {{w|United States Chess Federation}}. Derakhshani said {{w|Polgár sisters}} were her inspiration. "I really liked the three sisters of Polgár, 'specially {{w|Judit Polgár|Judit}}. Just because she kept on going and she didn't just want to be the best female chess player. She was in top 10. She was one of the first to break the barriers of gender, especially in chess society." Speaking of the challenges in Iran, Derakhshani said, "one of the big challenges was that there weren't enough tournaments. Because in Iran, women are seen as second-class citizens, so, I wasn't allowed, and women weren't allowed to play, in open tournaments. And there weren't enough women chess players to organise a big event. And so when I was growing up and I was eight, we started — my parents started to request that okay, she is a good child, she should be able to play in male-based tournaments, basically. And they weren't even female tournaments, they were just tournaments. And so when I was eight, and when I was ten, they allowed the children, like the girl childs to play, which was kind of awkward. And then they came up with more flexible rules, like if you are in the national team, you can play whatever tournament you want, if you win your category. But still. It was very {{w|sexist}}." Dorsa Derakhshani said she had decided early on she did not want to play for the Iranian Chess Federation. Derakhshani spent some time in [[Spain]], playing for the {{w|Montcada}} Chess Club. When asked if the Iranian chess players reach out to support her after the federation announced banning her, Derakhshani said, "Very very few. And that was something that I expected to be more. Because all of my high school friends, actually most of my high school, just the class that I had: they reached out and they have a group chat and they were really supportive, my high school friends. But from the chess players, I think, Iranian Chess players, very few, maybe not even five or ten reached out to show their support which was very shocking to me." Speaking of her goals, IM Dorsa Derakhshani said, "I would really like to be in US top five. And I would also really like to be involved in chess as much as I can. I do have my {{w|FIDE trainer}} title, and I would really like to be able to teach more kids. I do have a few students and it seems to be going good, so far. But I would like to understand better how to fix and help the players." === 30th [[Neuroscientists tell Wikinews about empathy and harm aversion observed in lab rats]] === [[File:Harm aversion interview with Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola.webm|left|alt=|thumb|Interview with Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola about empathy and harm aversion observed in lab rats.{{image|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study published in March examined harm {{wikt|aversion|anchor=Noun}} in {{w|Sprague-Dawley rat|laboratory rats}} for {{wikt|conspecific|conspecifics|anchor=Noun}} &mdash; rats not wanting to hurt other members of the same species &mdash; and reported which region of the brain was crucial for it. ''Wikinews'' interviewed two of the authors of the study, Dr {{w|Christian Keysers}} and Dr Valeria Gazzola. In the experiment, the researchers trained lab rats to develop a preference for mechanincal levers, which delivered one pellet of {{w|sucrose}}. After the rats had a developed a preference, the researchers placed another lab rat in an adjacent compartment. This time, when the lever was pressed, an electrical shock was delivered to the other rat, while also delivering a sucrose pellet to the first rat. Researchers observed rats chose to avoid harming their conspecifics even when two sucrose pellets were delivered. The study also showed this behaviour was due to the {{w|anterior cingulate cortex}} (ACC). The researchers repeated the experiment after subjecting the rat's brain to {{w|muscimol}} and deactivating the ACC. The active rats in the test group were no longer averse to harming the victim rats, but degree of harm aversion did not drop in the control group rats. == May == === 22nd [[Astronomer tells Wikinews about discovery of closest black hole known so far]] === [[File:HR 6819.tif|thumb|alt=A bright celestial body with another one orbiting it closely|Artistic impression showing the orbits of the triplet of the {{w|HR 6819}} system.

''Wikinews'' interviewed researcher Thomas Rivinius. Around 1010 ± 195 {{w|light year|light years}} from the Solar System, the new discovery is located in the {{w|Telescopium}} constellation in the {{w|HR 6819}} system. This makes it the first system visible to the naked eye to contain a black hole. Astronomers started observing the system in 1999, Rivinius told ''Wikinews''. Originally thought to be a {{w|binary system}} of {{w|Binary star|stars}}, further examination indicated a third unseen object in the system. The star closer to the Black Hole orbits the black hole in just 40.333 ± 0.004 days. This black hole does not have an {{w|accretion disk}}. Using the {{w|binary mass function}}, the researchers estimated the mass of the black hole is at least 4.2 M☉ ({{w|Solar masses}}; 1 Solar mass = mass of the Sun). Rivinius also said "the first suggestion that it was a black hole surfaced in 2010", and the observations were "made from the {{w|Paranal Observatory}}" in [[Chile]]. == June == === 19th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, May 2020]] === In the first of six monthly articles chronicling the [[2020 United States presidential election]], ''Wikinews'' interviewed [[Michigan]] [[Constitution Party (United States)|Taxpayers Party]] chairman {{w|William Mohr}} and podcaster {{w|Spike Cohen}}, two individuals the [[Constitution Party (United States)|US Constitution Party]] and [[Libertarian Party (United States)|US Libertarian Party]] respectively nominated for vice president at their respective national conventions in May. ''Wikinews'' interviewed a third individual, truck driver {{w|Angela Nicole Walker}}, who was selected in May as the running mate for [[Green Party of the United States|US Green Party]] presidential frontrunner and {{w|Socialist Party USA}} presidential nominee {{w|Howie Hawkins}}. Mohr, the running mate of Constitution Party presidential nominee [[Don Blankenship]], discussed the story behind his nomination for vice president, how his political experience complemented Blankenship's business experience, and the challenges and opportunities the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], which Mohr felt overblown, created for the ticket's ability to gain support. Cohen, the running mate of Libertarian Party presidential nominee {{w|Jo Jorgensen}}, discussed how the wars in [[Iraq]] and [[Afghanistan]] changed his political views from {{w|neoconservatism|neoconservative}} to [[libertarianism|libertarian]], how he planned to campaign with Jorgensen in innovative and traditional manners, and how he hoped to gain traction for the campaign with a focus on libertarian issues, viral social media, and getting into the presidential debates. Walker discussed how she planned to use her political experience to bring people from marginalized communities together, why leftists should vote for her ticket over others, and how she hoped her campaign would unite marginalized communities. === 28th [[Neanderthals 'knew what they were doing': Archæologist Dr Naomi Martisius discusses her findings about Neanderthals' behaviour with Wikinews|Archæologist Dr Naomi Martisius discusses study about Neanderthals' behaviour]] === [[File:Interview with Naomi Martisius about strategic bone tool raw material selection by Neandertals.webm|alt=|thumb|350px|The interview with Dr Naomi Martisius.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study published in May conducted by {{w|archæologist}} Dr Naomi Martisius and other researchers concluded [[Neanderthals]] living in [[Europe]] tens of thousands of years ago were more sophisticated than previously thought. The now-extinct species used to carefully select bones from a particular animal species to manufacture their bone tools, the research showed. The researchers collected bone tools from Abri Peyrony and Pech-de-l’Azé I in [[France]]. The bone tools were just a few centimetres in size and were about 50 thousand years old, Dr Martisius told ''Wikinews''. Microscopy analysis of these bone tools, made from the ribs of large {{w|bovids}}, called ''lissoirs'' (smoothers) suggested Neanderthals used these tools for working animal skin to leathers. Dr Martisius told ''Wikinews'' this was likely due to the physical characteristics of the bovid ribs, which were "thicker" and "stronger" as compared to the "thin and flimsy ribs" of reindeers. The study reported the archæological sites had far many reindeer bones, however, Neanderthals selectively used bones of large bovids for this purpose. For the purpose of this research, the archæologists used a technology called non-destructive Zooarchæology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS). Instead of damaging the bone artefacts in order to discover its origins, the researchers collected {{w|collagen}} from the plastic containers in which these artefacts were kept. Collagen is a type of protein. These bone artefacts were kept in plastic containers: some were kept for about five years, some for just a few months. During this time, the collagen proteins from bone tools were stuck to the walls of their plastic containers. The collagen samples collected from the walls of the containers are broken into smaller molecules called {{w|peptide|peptides}} by using a chemical {{w|enzyme}} called {{w|trypsin}}. One of the advantages of using bovid ribs over reindeer's thin ribs was the bovid ribs would be more resistant to breaking during flexion, Dr Martisius said. Dr Martisius said such non-destructive ZooMS analysis was previously conducted, but for tools no older than a few centuries. She said such an analysis had never been previously conducted for artefacts so ancient. === 30th [[Open source game developer Perttu Ahola talks about Minetest with Wikinews]] === [[File:Celeron55.jpg|thumb|alt=A man seated at a laptop|File photo of Perttu Ahola. {{image|paren=true|Calinou}}]] In June, ''Wikinews'' spoke to [[Finland|Finnish]] [[FLOSS|open-source]] {{w|video game}} developer Perttu Ahola. About ten years ago, Ahola created Minetest, a {{w|sandbox game}} similar to {{w|Minecraft}}. Ahola told ''Wikinews'' he took it as a challenge to create a game like Minnecraft when it was in its {{w|Software release life cycle|alpha version|anchor=Alpha}}. Minetest is a [[FLOSS|free and open-source]] game, which is free for anyone to download and play. It is written in the {{w|C++}} programming language, and the source code is available on code-hosting site [[GitHub]]. According to Ahola, Minetest attempts to run on older hardware, with limited graphics, but to be accessible to more people: those who have outdated technology, and making it available for no cost. Speaking about the development of the game, Ahola said, "It was developed in a very {{w|Iterative and incremental development|iterative manner}}. We've never had to throw away any big parts. Maybe iterative isn't the best word, I mean it was always developed by building on what was previously created. Actually we've had one big change, although it too was an addition: When we went from version 0.3 to 0.4, Minetest gained its {{w|Lua (programming language)|Lua}}-based {{w|modding}} {{w|API}}. It was a really big change in how people thought about and used Minetest." Speaking about his typical day as the core-developer of the game, Ahola said, "Currently, as I'm focusing on some other programming projects outside of Minetest, when I have some free time I still check the Minetest {{w|Internet Relay Chat|IRC}} channels and GitHub to see what's going on, and if I have something to say I'll make a comment about it. Of course I check my emails to see if any automated system has sent me a warning about something and needs fixing, or maybe there's a private message on the forum about some administrative task that needs doing. I might check some system statistics on the VPS [{{w|Virtual Private Server}}] running the forum to make sure it's running smoothly and make sure backups look ok." == July == === 7th [[Astronomer Anthony Boccaletti discusses observation of birth of potential exoplanet with Wikinews|Astronomer Boccaletti discusses observation of birth of potential exoplanet]] === [[File:Interview with Anthony Boccaletti about possible exoplanet formation.webm|alt=|thumb|Interview with Anthony Boccaletti.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study reported in March potential signs of formation of an [[exoplanet]] around the star {{w|AB Aurigae}} &mdash; something never observed before. Located in the {{w|Auriga constellation}}, AB Aurigae is about 520 {{w|light years}} away from the [[Earth]]. The astronomers observed the {{w|protoplanetary disk}} around the star. The astronomers used the [[European Southern Observatory]]'s {{w|Very Large Telescopes}} in [[Chile]] to study this system. ''Wikinews'' caught up with Anthony Boccaletti, one of the authors of the study, to discuss this findings. Boccaletti told ''Wikinews'' "AB Aurigae is a star which is more massive than the Sun, but also very very young". They observed a protoplanetary disc around the young star. The potential to-be planet is roughly about 30 astronomical units from the star, which is almost the same distance between the Sun and {{w|Neptune}}. Boccaletti said "Because we know that the planets are forming when a star is very young; so when it's like one million or five million years old. And it took about probably a million year for a planet to form. So it is important to look at very young planet, if you want to understand how the planet forms, you need to look at very young systems." The researchers used {{w|Adaptive optics|adaptive optics}} and {{w|Coronagraph|coronagraphy}} for this study. Speaking about the type and size of the planet, Boccaletti said, "It will be a giant planet, really. Maybe even bigger than Jupiter. Maybe 10 times the mass of Jupiter. But it couldn't be a planet that is like the Earth. If it were a planet like the Earth, it wouldn't make this kind of spiral. The spiral would not be detectable, in that case. So it's necessarily a very big planet." === 25th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2020]] === [[File:LG PICs 2 002.JPG|thumb|alt=Richardson smiling, wearing a suit|Darcy Richardson in 2011. {{image|Darcy Richardson}}]] In the second of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' interviewed retired marine Billy Joe Parker, vice presidential nominee of the [[Prohibition Party (United States)|US Prohibition Party]], historian [[Darcy Richardson]], vice presidential nominee of the {{w|Alliance Party (United States)|US Alliance}} and [[Reform Party of the United States of America|Reform]] parties, and educator Tiara Lusk, vice presidential nominee of the Life and Liberty Party. Parker was the running mate of Prohibition Party presidential nominee {{w|Phil Collins (politician)|Phil Collins}}, who, in June, unsuccessfully attempted to obtain the presidential nomination of the Reform Party. With ''Wikinews'', Parker discussed his decision in "AD 2005" to join the Prohibition Party due to him being impressed with the party's standards and membership. He explained he felt Collins a much better choice for president than the Republican and Democratic nominees and spoke directly to voters, advising them to make a choice benefitting the children of the nation. Richardson, the running mate of Alliance Party presidential nominee [[Rocky De La Fuente]], secured the vice presidential nomination of the Reform Party, with De La Fuente as the presidential nominee, at the party's national convention in June. Richardson discussed with ''Wikinews'', his plan to campaign for the ticket across the nation, within the confines of COVID-19 restrictions. He compared, unfavorably, President [[Donald Trump]] to President {{w|Zachary Taylor}} and described the then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee [[Joe Biden]] as past his prime. Richardson highlighted the Alliance Party's goal to make the United States into a "gold medal nation." Lusk, who became the first vice presidential nominee of the Life and Liberty at the party's inaugural national convention held virtually in June, was the running mate of the party's founder and presidential nominee J.R. Myers. With ''Wikinews'', Lusk discussed how the Life and Liberty Party has less emphasis on Christianity than the US Constitution Party, how Myers' debate performance impressed her and that led her to join his new party, and said the campaign was focused on healing and uniting the nation. == August == === 13th [[Water main bursts in White Plains, New York, US]] === [[File:2020 White Plains Water Main Break 20200810 (3).jpg|alt=An intersection with caution tape|thumb|240px|left|The burst pipe destroyed the street. {{image|[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]]}}]] In August, a {{w|water main}} broke in the [[US]] city of [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], [[New York State|New York]], cutting off the water supply to most of the city. The burst pipe caused a huge crater to form in a major intersection in the heart of the city, flooding the streets. Emergency crews were on the scene to repair the pipes in order to restore water service. Almost all customers had water restored by the evening of the same day. ''Wikinews'' was on the scene around 6:20 pm local time and could observe a large crater in the street caused by the amount of water from the burst pipe. Crews from the Department of Public Works as well as some the fire department were there. Water was no longer rushing uncontrolled into the street. Shortly thereafter, at 6:30 pm, the city issued a follow-up statement announcing the break had been contained by DPW. Residents were advised to expect the water to perhaps be "discolored" when it initially returned. === 25th [[Caloundra defeat Wynnum in fourth round of 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season|Caloundra defeat Wynnum in round 4 of Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season]] === [[File:Caloundra_bench_at_A_grade_game_v_Wynnum_2020–08–15.jpg|right|alt=Football players seated on the ground at the sideline of the field|thumb|Caloundra's bench during the first half.{{image|[[User:RockerballAustralia|Patrick Gillett]]}}]] In August, [[Caloundra Rugby Union Club|Caloundra]] defeated {{w|Wynnum Rugby Union Club|Wynnum}} 45&ndash;24 in their Round 4 [[Sunshine Coast Rugby Union]] match which was played at the Grenada Street ground in Wynnum. Caloundra's half back Jarrod Kidston said, "Yeah it was a good start from us, probably the best start from us in a while. Then we just made a couple of mistakes and let them back in the game. They're a good outfit so they put points on pretty quick." Wynnum coach Matt Myers said "We got back on even and managed to go try for try for a couple [...] [We] let them [have the] momentum [and they were] over the top, they got a roll on". === 31st [[On the campaign trail in the USA, July 2020]] === In the third of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' interviewed teacher Amar Patel, vice presidential nominee of the {{w|American Solidarity Party}}, filmmaker John de Graaf, vice presidential nominee of the Bread and Roses Party, and engineer Eric Bodenstab, vice presidential nominee of the [[Unity Party of America]]. Patel, on the ticket with Solidarity Party presidential nominee {{w|Brian T. Carroll}}, secured ballot access in [[Illinois]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', Patel discussed Carroll asking him to join the ticket, how he used Twitter to complement Carroll's use of Facebook to spread the campaign message, and listed all the states, in addition to Illinois, where the ticket had obtained or was in the process of obtaining ballot access. De Graaf, on the inaugural ticket with Bread and Roses presidential nominee {{w|Jerome Segal}}, secured ballot access in [[Vermont]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', de Graaf described the Bread and Roses Party's focus on quality of life issues, how his background as a documentary filmmaker complemented Segal's academic background, discussed the "Beauty New Deal", and emphasized the party's goal of educating the populace and providing a leftist alternative in non-swing states like Vermont. Bodenstab, on the inaugural ticket with Unity Party founder and presidential nominee Bill Hammons, secured ballot access in [[New Jersey]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', Bodenstab explained why his party decided to field a presidential ticket, described his efforts of building grassroots support in places without much personal connection, and basked in the moment of him and Hammons building a political party and running for president as ordinary citizens. == September == === 1st [[University defeat Maroochydore in round five of 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season|University defeat Maroochydore in round 5 of Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season]] === [[File:EDIT Maroochydore v University 2020–08–29 1.jpg|left|alt=Two rugby teams on the field|thumb|Maroochydore played much of the first half in their attacking half.

"We turned up here knowing we'd be in for a battle [...] They pushed [reigning premiers] Caloundra and they pushed Noosa. We knew the were looking for a scalp. To Maroochydore's credit, they've made some big improvements since last season. I think as the season goes on they'll keep getting better and better, as well", Brad Tronc, University's coach, said. Maroochydore assistant coach Ben Radmall said it was a hard and physical match. "It was pretty set piece dominated there for the last twenty minutes[...] [It was] a pretty physical game out there this afternoon. It was a good hit out. We're sore after that one", he said. === 30th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, August 2020]] === [[File:Jo Jorgensen at podium 1 (crop 1).jpg|alt=Jorgensen holding a microphone, standing at a lectern|thumb|Jo Jorgensen campaigning in August 2020{{image|Jo Jorgensen for President}}]] In the fourth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' took a deeper look into an August bat attack on Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen, highlighted three points of controversy in the [[American Independent Party]]'s presidential nomination of Rocky De La Fuente for president and entertainer {{w|Kanye West}} for vice president at its August convention, and examined questions about the citizenship of Senator [[Kamala Harris]], whom then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden selected as his running mate in August. A bat bit Jorgensen on the chin in early August. ''Wikinews'' reached out to Jorgensen's campaign manager and deputy campaign manager who witnessed the attack first hand. ''Wikinews'' recounted the treatment Jorgensen received while on the campaign trail and noted the impact the story had on the visibility of the campaign as it attempted to gain in the polls to qualify for the official presidential debates. In mid-August, the American Independent Party, with ballot access in the most populous US state of [[California]], nominated De La Fuente for president and West for vice president. This created some dissention between De La Fuente and his running mate in all the other states, Darcy Richardson. ''Wikinews'' spoke to Richardson, who felt the American Independent Party was using De La Fuente and West in an attempt to assist the campaign of President Donald Trump. At the time, West was running for president as the nominee of his creation, the Birthday Party. ''Wikinews'' examined public statements from leaders of the American Independent Party, revealing their goal of helping the Trump campaign. Additionally, ''Wikinews'' uncovered FEC documents showing a series of payments from De La Fuente to the vice-chairman of the American Independent Party in the months leading up to the party's August convention. In public statements ''Wikinews'' reported, the same aforementioned leaders of American Independent Party, questioned the eligibility of Kamala Harris upon her selection as Biden's running mate, based on the citizenship of her parents at her birth. ''Wikinews'' documented a minority of legal experts, including "Birther King" [[Andy Martin]], who agreed in part with the leaders of the party, and highlighted the legal majority that discounted the "birther" arguments entirely and likened them to those questioning the citizenship of former president [[Barack Obama]]. == October == === 19th [[Wikinews interviews Don Blankenship, U.S. Constitution Party presidential nominee|Interview with Don Blankenship, U.S. Constitution Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Don Blankenship Image (cropped).jpeg|alt=Blankenship wearing a suit, looking to the camera|thumb|Don Blankenship {{image|[[c:Special:Contributions/Brianhayden1980|Brianhayden1980]]}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed businessman Don Blankenship, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Constitution Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Blankenship named {{w|George Washington}} as the past US president he most admires. He cited multiple aspects providing him with the experience to perform the duties of the presidency such as: previously dealing with the government, knowing government's flaws, being poor, being rich, serving in federal prison, and defeating the establishment. He identified his leadership style as rooted in "truth and conviction." The COVID-19 pandemic restricted his ability to obtain ballot access in many states. He lamented he would only receive half of the votes anticipated due to pandemic-related limitations, and argued if he had been president during the start of the pandemic he would have quarantined those with symptoms, protected elderly people, and allowed young people to work. As president, Blankenship said he would reduce the number of cabinet members and appoint those who previously have not worked in government. He would choose judges based on their fidelity to the US Constitution and would apply pressure to Congress based on "common sense" without drama and hyperbole. Politically, Blankenship opposed any government action to combat climate change, argued for less intervention in the affairs of other nations and for most US troops abroad to be brought back to the US. He derided social media censorship, endorsed an end to illegal immigration to the US, and endorsed education equality based on location rather than race. In his final plea to voters, Blankenship quoted the inaugural address of President {{w|John F. Kennedy}} as crucial to maintaining the survival of the United States, "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." === 22nd [[Wikinews interviews 2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor Candidate Wayne Tseng]] === [[File:Portrait of Wayne Tseng.jpeg|alt=Tseng smiling|thumb|200px|Portrait of Wayne Tseng{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] In October, ''Wikinews'' spoke with 2020 [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]] {{w|Lord Mayor}} candidate Wayne Tseng about his election campaign. Tseng runs a firm called eTranslate, which helps software developers to make the software available to the users. Tseng discussed his plans for leading Melbourne, recovering from [[COVID-19]], and "Democracy 2.0" to ensure concerns of minorities in the city were also heard. Tseng also focused on the importance of the multi-culture aspect and talked about making Melbourne the capital of the {{w|aboriginal|aboriginals}}. Tseng also explained why he thinks Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030. At that time, {{w|Sally Capp}} was the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]]n capital. Capp was elected as an interim Lord Mayor in mid-2018 after the former Lord Mayor {{w|Robert Doyle}} resigned from his position after [[sexual assault]] allegations. Speaking of Capp's governance, Tseng said, "I do appreciate the hard work Sally did to bridge the political divide in a council chamber she inherited. This year the pandemic has made her work even harder as for any other leaders. But what she fall short off is to stand up to the State Government (provincial government) which [has] restricted the city ability to take its own decisive action to better protect the city." Tseng proposed the plan of "Re-open, Reset, Reform". "My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery. There is a comprehensive plan for recovery in all sectors from business to residents. See attached document", Tseng said. Also speaking about the multi-cultural aspects of Melbourne, Tseng said: "The distribution of indigenous people depends on a lot of factors. These again due to historical reasons that we can go on forever. [There] are tens of indigenous tribes across the country. Sadly some were hunted to extinction in the last century, particularly in [[Tasmania]]. Mak[ing] a location a capital for the First Nations people will be symbolic rather than totally enshrine[d] in law. Ideally it would be best in the {{w|City of Darwin}}. But unless I was a mayor there, it may not happen. So having [it] in Melbourne does allow some symbolic and provide a forum for the different tribes to gather and have open discussions. The 'capital' can rotate from city to city periodically if other cities allow. But ultimately it will be up to the elders to approve." === 22nd [[Wikinews interviews Phil Collins, U.S. Prohibition Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:PhilCollins.webp|alt=Collins smiling|thumb|Phil Collins {{image|Prohibition Party}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed former {{w|Libertyville Township, Illinois}} trustee Phil Collins, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Prohibition Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Collins named {{w|Abraham Lincoln}} and [[Ronald Reagan]] as the past US presidents he most admires. He cited his 21 years of military service including a stop outside [[Baghdad]] and his background in government as a township trustee as providing him the experience in leadership to serve as President. He described his personal leadership style as focused on following the US Constitution. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted his ability to obtain ballot access in many states, namely [[Tennessee]]. Nevertheless, he was able to obtain more ballot access than his party's 2016 ticket and so anticipated receiving more votes. For the pandemic, he outlined a plan to encourage cooperation among the different US states and find out how the states with fewer infections did so in a televised press conference. As president, he said he would nominate a cabinet made up of people who could work with members of his own party as well as the Democratic and Republican parties. He singled out former {{w|United States Secretary of Defense|Defense Secretary}} {{w|Robert Gates}} as his choice for {{w|United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State}}. As for the others, he said he would seek input from fellow Prohibition Party leadership. For Supreme Court nominations, Collins said he would nominate current federal judges who base their opinions on the US Constitution. He planned to connect with members on a personal level in order to pass his agenda in Congress. On the issues, Collins said he would combat climate change through recommendations from former leaders of the {{w|United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA}}. He proposed splitting the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh area between Armenia and Azerbaijan to resolve their differences. To avoid social media censorship, he said he would encourage the people of the US to use alternatives. As for race relations, Collins proposed more advertising for federal government positions aimed at minorities, and the posting of federal anti-discrimination rules in each federal office. === 23rd [[Wikinews interviews Bill Hammons, Unity Party of America presidential nominee]] === [[File:Bill Hammons.jpg|alt=Hammons smiling|thumb|Bill Hammons {{image|Bill Hammons}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed entrepreneur Bill Hammons, 2020 presidential nominee of the Unity Party of America, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Hammons named {{w|George Washington}} as the past US president he most admires. He cited his experience as the founder and chairman of the Unity Party, his time managing ''Newsweek'' magazine, and founding of the site ''Bill's List'' as providing him with the experience to be president. Hammons described his leadership style as centrist, looking to others from all sides for input. Had he been president at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hammons said he would use the {{w|Defense Production Act}} to produce the supplies to combat the coronavirus, expand testing, use social media to trace those infected, and convert unused hotels as a place to house the quarantined. Before the pandemic, Hammons explained he campaigned door-to-door but afterwards made use of targeted phone calls and text messages to reach voters. Despite the pandemic, he predicted growth for the Unity Party. Hammons planned to fill his cabinet with a "Team of Rivals" like that of Abraham Lincoln's administration. He said he would look at a judge's common sense to determine who to nominate to the Supreme Court and devised a plan to prevent future {{w|Court packing}} with a Constitutional amendment. For dealing with Congress, Hammons emphasized the use of compromise. As for policy matters, for dealing with climate change, Hammons said he would take advice from billionaire [[Bill Gates]], {{w|Harvard University|Harvard}} scientists, and explore the distribution of cooling material into the atmosphere. He endorsed the use of US peacemakers to resolve the [[Armenia]]-[[Azerbaijan]] {{w|2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war|conflict}}, and argued that [[Facebook]] and other social media were doing a good job of striking a balance between freedom of expression and the protection of democracy. He proposed changing the motto of [[Black Lives Matter]] to "Black Lives Matter Too" and {{w|Defund the Police}} to "Refund the Police", and the nation could then "take a sober look at how we can be a more harmonious nation going forward". === 26th [[GitHub blocks public access to youtube-dl after RIAA issues DMCA notice]] === [[File:Philipp Hagemeister.jpeg|alt=Hagemeister smiling|thumb|Philipp Hagemeister had previously maintained youtube-dl's source code{{image|Philipp Hagemeister}}]] In October, after reciving a [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] (DMCA) take-down notice from the {{w|Recording Industry Association of America}} (RIAA), code hosting and sharing website [[GitHub]] blocked the public access to {{w|youtube-dl}}, a software which can download videos from the internet via the {{w|command-line}}. RIAA's DMCA notice alleged the script's purpose of existence was to "circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube" and "reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use". youtube-dl has multiple unit tests in its source code, which test whether the software works in different circumstances or not. One of the tests included the URL of some copyrighted songs. ''Wikinews'' spoke with a former maintainer and contributor of the youtube-dl project Philipp Hagemeister about this blocking. Hagemeister told ''Wikinews'', "youtube-dl downloads and plays videos and music, just like any other web browser, from over 1000 different services. Its uses are varied: It enables video playback on many devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi) where the video services don't work properly, it makes high-quality video playable for people with a bad or no Internet connection, it enables disabled users to use tools to play videos, and it is used for archival and research." GitHub's DMCA repository, where the takedown notice was published for public viewing, was subject to contant vandalism from multiple GitHub users. One user submitted a {{w|pull request}}, {{w|Merge (version control)|merging}} the source code of youtube-dl along with the DMCA repository. This enabled users to view youtube-dl's source code from within the DMCA repository, provided they know the commit id. The [[Electronic Frontier Foundation]] said on [[Twitter]] "Youtube-dl is a legitimate tool with a world of a lawful uses. Demanding its removal from Github is a disappointing and counterproductive move by the RIAA." Soon after the public access to the repository was locked, multiple users started sharing the source code via self-hosted {{w|git}} servers, {{w|Tor (anonymity network)|Tor}} sites and via the {{w|BitTorrent|Torrent protocol}} leading to a [[Streisand effect]]. Streisand effect is when a measure to censor information causes further spread of that information. === 29th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, September 2020]] === In the fifth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' reported on the Libertarian Party ticket of Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen achieving ballot access in all 50 states in September, examined the proposal of Unity Party presidential nominee Bill Hammons to prevent future packing of the [[United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] amid the death of Justice [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], and documented the positions of multiple presidential candidates on the [[Armenia]]-[[Azerbaijan]] conflict that intensified in September. The Jorgensen-Cohen ticket attained ballot access in all 50 US states in early September; noteworthy due to the restrictions placed on petitioning with the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing. ''Wikinews'' looked back at past third party and Independent presidential tickets that achieved the same feat. One of those tickets was that of the Libertarian Party in 1996 that included Jorgensen as the running mate for {{w|Harry Browne}}. In September, the death of liberal Justice Ginsburg and nomination of conservative Judge {{w|Amy Coney Barrett}} as her replacement led to calls from some Democrats to add more justices. ''Wikinews'' spoke with presidential candidate Hammons, who proposed fixing the number of justices at 13, the number of federal circuit courts, with a constitutional amendment to prevent Court packing. As the conflict between the nations of Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of {{w|Nagorno-Karabakh}} increased in September, ''Wikinews'' asked Jorgensen, Constitution Party presidential nominee Don Blankenship, and Prohibition Party presidential nominee Phil Collins for their positions on the matter. While Jorgensen and Blankenship argued the US should remain out of the conflict and let the nations resolve it themselves, Collins proposed the disputed region be split in half. === 29th [[Wikinews interviews Jo Jorgensen, U.S. Libertarian Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Jo Jorgensen portrait 1 (crop 1).jpg|alt=Jorgensen smiling|thumb|Jo Jorgensen{{image|Jo Jorgensen for President}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed psychology professor Jo Jorgensen, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Libertarian Party, about her background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on her 2020 presidential campaign, her political agenda, and policy positions. Jorgensen named {{w|Thomas Jefferson}} as the past US president she most admires. She cited the knowledge, instilled in her from her grandmother who migrated from [[Denmark]], that business and family work better without government interference, as the most important preparation for an individual to have to serve as president. Jorgensen cited her leadership style as "{{w|Primum non nocere|first, do no harm}}." If she were president at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jorgensen says she would have prevented government agencies from blocking access to free market solutions, used the bully pulpit of the presidency to encourage the wearing of masks and social distancing, and put an end to pandemic-related lockdowns. Because of the pandemic, Jorgensen says her campaign events had limited participants and that the restrictions hampered her campaign ground game. However, she was able to use social media to reach potential voters. She acknowledged her lack of name recognition made it difficult initially but was satisfied with her position in opinion polls and felt it was a victory that the major party candidates discussed liberty issues such as lowering taxes, bring US troops back to the US, and suspending the {{w|war on drugs}}. She hoped her campaign would be remembered for her pledge to "make America like one giant [[Switzerland]], armed and neutral." For her cabinet, Jorgensen said she would invite policy analysts from the {{w|Cato Institute}} and {{w|Reason Foundation}}, others who advocate for smaller government, and libertarians who hold elected office as Democrats and Republicans. She cited the presidential veto as her biggest tool when dealing with Congress, and endorsed smaller budgets, cannabis decriminalization, and reform of criminal law. Jorgensen said she would pardon all imprisoned for a non-violent drug offenses and whistleblowers like [[Edward Snowden]] and [[Julian Assange]]. As commander-in-chief of the military, she planned to bring home all overseas US troops. As for policy matters, Jorgensen called for an end to subsidies to the energy sector, particularly that of fossil fuels, and for an increased focus on nuclear power. She argued for staying out of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict entirely and that she was more concerned with government censorship than censorship from social media platforms. As for improving race relations, Jorgensen endorsed criminal justice reform including reforms of police tactics and decriminalization of victimless crimes, and for an end to licensing laws restricting equal opportunity in economics. === 30th [[Wikinews interviews Brian Carroll, American Solidarity Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Brian T. Carroll - head shot .75 aspect ratio.png|alt=Carroll smiling|thumb|Brian T. Carroll.{{image|Roy Dressel}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed retired teacher Brian Carroll, 2020 presidential nominee of the American Solidarity Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. As a past history teacher, Carroll gave his opinion on many presidents, adding he had recently acquired an appreciation for {{w|Ulysses S. Grant}}. He cited his teaching and experience in raising community awareness as the political experience he needed for the role of president. Carroll described his leadership style as opposite that of President Trump, which he felt included listening to experts and hiring an organized staff. For the COVID-19 pandemic, Carroll said he would have used the guidelines of President Barack Obama and employed the Defense Production Act. He explained that rather than campaigning, the pandemic had kept him at home with his wife, which he considered a blessing. Personally, he felt the pandemic was less stressful than for others. However, he expected to perform better in the presidential election than the ticket his party nominated in 2016. Carroll said he wanted to nominate a cabinet that would work with Congress with an emphasis on bipartisanship. Specifically, he said he would ask the {{w|Climate Solutions Caucus}} and the {{w|Problem Solvers Caucus}} for cabinet recommendations. For the Supreme Court, Carroll wanted judges with opinions more aligned with consumers and workers than corporations. On the issue of climate change, Carroll favored less reliance on carbon energy and endorsed {{w|Thorium-based nuclear power|thorium nuclear}} as well as solar, wind, thermal, and carbon capture technologies. On other issues, Carroll opposed any military intervention in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict but called for diplomatic maneuvers. He said we should be patient with social media as it is in its teen years, and said that race relations were a high priority and that he agreed with many policy recommendations in the Contract with Black America. In his final plea to voters, Carroll argued that while the major parties focus on panic, the Solidarity Party stands for hope. == November == === 2nd [[On the campaign trail in the USA, October 2020]] === In the sixth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' covered two debates of independent and third party presidential candidates that the {{w|Free and Equal Elections Foundation}} held in October. Three third party presidential candidates that did not participate in either of those debates provided ''Wikinews'' with their final pleas to voters. Additionally, three political pundits gave their predictions on the ultimate outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The Free and Equal Elections Foundation held two debates in October for which ''Wikinews'' provided detailed summaries. Free and Equal's founder and director Christina Tobin moderated both debates. The first debate featured Independent presidential candidate {{w|Brock Pierce}}, Green Party presidential nominee Howie Hawkins, Constitution Party presidential nominee Don Blankenship, American Solidarity Party presidential nominee Brian Carroll, and {{w|Party for Socialism and Liberation}} presidential nominee {{w|Gloria La Riva}}. All of these candidates participated in the second debate except for Blankenship. ''Wikinews'' sought out some of the other third party and independent presidential candidates that did not participate in either October debate to obtain a final plea to voters. Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen, Prohibition Party presidential nominee Phil Collins, and Unity Party presidential nominee Bill Hammons each provided a statement. Jorgensen directed her message to disaffected Democrats and Republicans, telling both to "Be Bold. Vote Gold." Collins discussed the harmful effects of alcohol and mentioned that his party supports a balanced budget, gun rights, and opposes abortion. Hammons argued he could be in the running in a close election if he obtained just one electoral vote and asked voters to "vote their conscience." ''Wikinews'' sought out election predictions from political blogger Thomas Knapp, senior news analyst of the William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism, former Congressman [[Tom Tancredo]], and attorney Ron Gunzburger, founder of Politics1.com. Whereas Knapp and Gunzburger predicted a victory for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Tancredo predicted President Donald Trump would be re-elected in a landslide victory. === 27th [[Wikinews interviews Sandra Jephcott, Sustainable Australia candidate for 2020 Groom by-election|Interview with Sandra Jephcott, Sustainable Australia candidate for Groom by-election]] === [[File:Sandra Jephcott headshot Sustainable Australia Party.jpg|alt=Jephcott smiling|thumb|Portrait of Jephcott.{{image|{{w|Sustainable Australia}}}}]] Following the resignation of {{w|Division of Groom}}'s MP {{w|John McVeigh}} for family reasons, the Australian {{w|electoral district}} in [[Queensland]] had a by-election. Sandra Jephcott of the {{w|Sustainable Australia}} party was one of the four candidates running for the by-election. ''Wikinews'' spoke with Jephcott about her campaign. According to the party's website, Jephcott is a {{w|veterinarian}} and farmer, who has completed a veterinary degree from the [[University of Queensland]], as well as a {{w|Master of Business Affairs}} at {{w|Bond University}} and a {{w|Master of Science}} at {{w|James Cook University}}. Sandra Jephcott spoke about overdevelopment and corruption as some of her priorities. "I believe that the Groom by-election offers voters an opportunity to send a message to the two major parties that we're not happy with business as usual politics &mdash; including rampant overdevelopment and systemic political corruption that negatively impacts on the environment." She also spoke about the plans to combat [[climate change]]. "Net zero or net negative Australian greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (or ideally sooner)", Jephcott said. === 27th [[Wikinews interviews Craig Farquharson, Liberal Democrat candidate for 2020 Groom by-election|Interview with Craig Farquharson, Liberal Democrat candidate for Groom by-election]] === [[File:Portrait of Craig Farquharson.png|alt=Farquharson speaking|thumb|200px|Portrait of Craig Farquharson.{{image|{{w|Liberal Democratic Party (Australia)|Liberal Democrats - Queensland}}}}]] ''Wikinews'' also interviewed Craig Farquharson, who was the {{w|Liberal Democrats (Australia)|Liberal Democrat}} candidate for the 2020 Groom by-election following John McVeigh's resignation as the MP. Farquharson told ''Wikinews'', "What prompted me to run as a candidate in Groom is, because as a small business owner, I could not get my elected MP to talk to me or even to call me back. I became "cheesed off" with elected representatives who are inaccessible to their electorate, and resolved to do something about it. I have pledged that if elected I will be as accessible as possible to voters in my electorate. After 36 years of being a safe Coalition seat, the electorate is ready for change, and wants the additional attention that a more marginal electorate gets, or alternately another party to represent them." Spaking for the Liberal Democrats, Farquharson said they "would like to see some of the restrictions relaxed to enable people to take personal responsibility for their own health. We do not believe recreational drug use should be criminalised — this is harmful to society and funnels money to dangerous gangs via the black market. We believe that drug abuse is a separate matter to use, and should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal matter." Speaking about coal mining and renewable energy sources, Farquharson said: "While Australia can switch to alternative technologies to generate power and for energy, many undeveloped nations depend on cheap electricity to lift their billions out of poverty. And responding to this demand, providing a better quality of coal would not only be an environmental improvement, for humanity and for alleviation of global poverty, it is the right thing to do." == December == === 14th [[Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream; CentOS team discuss implications with Wikinews|Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream]] === [[File:Centos-logo-light.svg|alt=The CentOS logo with a series of colorful arrows overlapping|thumb|Logo of CentOS.{{image|{{w|CentOS}}}}]] US-based [[software]] company [[Red Hat]] announced they were shifting their investments from {{w|CentOS Linux}} to a rolling-release of CentOS Stream as an upstream for the development of {{w|Red Hat Enterprise Linux}} (RHEL). This led to many users expressing their frustration on {{w|Internet Relay Chat}} (IRC), [[Reddit]] and CentOS project's mailing list. CentOS has been in existence sincne 2004, providing the freely-licensed RHEL for no cost. It was absorbed by Red Hat in 2014, and in the process, Red Hat gained the trademark rights of "CentOS". Stream was announced in September 2019, months after [[IBM]] acquired Red Hat. One of the {{w|quality assurance}} team of CentOS team, Pablo Greco, told ''Wikinews'', "I've been using Stream for most of my things ever since it came out, and I love the idea for it. The only problem is that Stream is being used as an excuse to kill CentOS, and that's the part I hate." CentOS 8's {{w|End of Life}} (EOL) was cut short from 2029 to December 2021, while CentOS 7's EOL is in 2024. ''Wikinews'' spoke to Greco, as well as CentOS project's community manager Rich Bowen, who also works for Red Hat. Greco told ''Wikinews'' CentOS "used to be rock solid distribution, with almost everything that RHEL has, but without all the hassle or the costs of a RHEL license, and obviously without the main benefit of RHEL which is the support." Bowen said, "One of the exciting things about the move to CentOS Stream is it's designed to be an actual contributor community, rather than the legacy CentOS Linux that is almost entirely a consumer community." === 18th [[Gregory Kurtzer discusses plans for Rocky Linux with Wikinews as Red Hat announces moving focus away from CentOS|Gregory Kurtzer discusses plans for Rocky Linux]] === [[File:Gregory Kurtzer.jpg|left|alt=Kurtzer smiling|thumb|Gregory Kurtzer announced Rocky Linux to take the place of CentOS.{{image|Gregory Kurtzer}}]] [[File:Rocky Linux wordmark.svg|alt=The Rokcy Linux logo|thumb|Logo of Rocky Linux{{image|Josh Urbain and Hayden Young}}]] After Red Hat's announcement to stop investing in CentOS, Gregory Kurtzer announced {{w|Rocky Linux}} to fill in the void of CentOS. Kurtzer had started CAOS Linux, which was then succeeded by CentOS when Rocky McGaugh, a developer of CAOS rebuilt the source code of RHEL to provide a monetarily free alternative. "Thinking back to early CentOS days... My cofounder was Rocky McGaugh. He is no longer with us, so as a H/T [{{w|hat tip}}] to him, who never got to see the success that CentOS came to be, I introduce to you...Rocky Linux", Kurtzer said to announce the project. Kurtzer discussed the origins of CentOS and plans for Rocky Linux in an interview with ''Wikinews''. Speaking of Rocky Linux, Kurtzer said the "goal is to be {{w|Bug compatibility|bug-for-bug}} compatible with RHEL and provide a long life for enterprise needs." He also said existing CentOS operating systems can be converted to Rocky Linux by executing a single command. Though no formal date of release has been announced, Kurtzer said, it can be expected "near the end of Q1 or beginning of Q2 2021", and both {{w|x86-64}} as well as {{w|ARM architecture}} will be supported. There are about 65&nbsp;developers working on the CentOS replacement, Kurtzer said. He also added, "My commitment to the project is that Rocky will always remain in the best interest of the community and everyone who wishes to be part of the organization, with good intentions, will be welcomed. Since day one, Rocky's coordination efforts have been completely transparent." === 25th [['Earth-based life can survive in hydrogen-rich atmospheres': MIT professor Dr Seager tells Wikinews about her research on organisms thriving in oxygen-less environment|Dr Seager tells about organisms thriving in oxygen-less environment]] === [[File:Sara Seager CHF-Cain-Conference-May-2016-059.jpg|alt=Seager speaking into a microphne, standing at a lectern|thumb|File photo of Dr Sara Seager.{{image|Conrad Erb}}]] A study published by [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] professor Dr {{w|Sara Seager}} and other researchers in May showed {{w|Unicellular organism|single-celled organisms}} like ''{{w|E. coli}}'' and ''{{w|yeast}}'' were able to survive in 100% {{w|hydrogen gas}} as well as 100% {{w|helium gas}} atmosphere. ''Wikinews'' reached out to Dr Seager to discuss the findings of this study in which organisms thrived in an oxygen-less environment. The study reported the organisms were reproducing normally in both 100% H₂ and 100% He environment. However, the {{w|Sigmoid function|sigmoid}}-shaped {{w|Growth curve (biology)|growth curve}} was not on par with 100% air. ''E. coli'' and yeast switch from {{w|Cellular respiration|ærobic respiration}}, which uses oxygen, to {{w|Anaerobic respiration|anærobic respiration}} and {{w|fermentation}}. Both processes are less efficient and do not produce as much energy as ærobic respiration. "There's a diversity of habitable worlds out there, and we have confirmed that Earth-based life can survive in hydrogen-rich atmospheres. We should definitely add those kinds of planets to the menu of options when thinking of life on other worlds, and actually trying to find it", Professor Seager said. The research paper reported ''E. coli'' releases a number of gases when it lives in hydrogen-based atmosphere including {{w|ammonia}}, {{w|methanethiol}}, {{w|dimethylsulfide}}, {{w|carbonyl sulfide}}, {{w|carbonyl disulfide}} and {{w|nitrous oxide}}. These gases can serve as biosignature gases which can help astronomers detect and study potential life on exoplanets. {{HYS}} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Original reporting]] [[Category:Acagastya (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:Wikinews overview|2020]] 9us2p8xiaop8sv3cfky6a2hl6j8al6l 5024830 5024829 2026-05-04T04:36:38Z Acagastya 1526439 /* 23rd Wikinews interviews Bill Hammons, Unity Party of America presidential nominee */ iwl 5024830 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|January 1, 2021}} After an active year of [[WN:OR|original content]] published on the English-language ''Wikinews'', we take a look back at some of the two dozen-plus original reports from our contributors during 2020. == March == {{TOCright-small}} === 6th [[Indian Railway: all-women crew steers Tippu Express ahead of International Women's Day|All-women crew steers Tippu Express ahead of International Women's Day]] === [[File:All-women crew steers Tippu Express (3).jpg|alt=A line of women outside of a train|left|thumb|All-women crew prior to the departure of {{w|Tippu Express}} on Thursday. {{image|{{w|Mysore railway division|Mysore Division}}, {{w|South Western Railway zone|South Western Railway}}}}]] As a part of a ten-day celebration of International Women's Day, an all-women crew ran the [[Mysuru]]-[[Bengaluru]] {{w|Tippu Express}} in the {{w|South Western Railway zone|South Western Railway}} region of [[Karnataka]], [[India]].

Out of a total of, say, 6900 [employees], we have around 650. So that is around ten percent." [[File:Interview with Aparna Garg.flac|thumb|Interview with Mysore Railway Divisional Manager Aparna Garg.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] Garg discussed the challenges faced by women working for the [[Indian Railways]]. "Challenges, I would say, are the same as you find in the society. For a women to achieve something, is not as easy as it is for a man. They have to put double the effort, and the recognition comes very late. And then women are multi-tasking everywhere. So a lady who comes to work in the office: first sees her house and then she comes [to work] and then again she goes back and she does [household work]. So she is much more pressure, and I find them very sincere. Despite all the pressure, I find them extremely sincere and dedicated." She also went on to discuss the remedies. "[W]hat is required at large is a change in the society and the mindset, which should begin in each house. And if we have boys in the house and we have male colleagues, we have to sensitise them more. And so that, once we have the support of these people and their mindset changes, and that is how we can influence the collective consciousness." === 13th [[Stores in Australia lower toilet paper limits per transaction]] === [[File:2020-03-04 Empty supermarket shelves during toilet paper shortage in Sydney due to Coronavirus fears.jpg|alt=Rows of empty shelves|thumb|left|Empty supermarket shelves during toilet paper shortage in [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]].{{image source|paren=yes|Maksym Kozlenko}}]] As the [[SARS-CoV-2]] virus spread in various countries, people started stocking up various things including toilet paper. Stores started limiting the number of packages per transaction. Woolworths and Coles in Australia had initially announced a limit of four-pack of toilet paper, but Coles later declared "many stores are still selling out within an hour of delivery". Both store chains later said only one or two packs could be bought in one purchase transaction. Coles ordered bigger packages from suppliers and increased delivery frequency while Woolworths ordered extra stock to keep up with the requirements. Recycled toilet paper producer ''Who Gives a Crap'' had announced in early March they had run out of stock. ''{{w|News.com.au}}'' reported {{w|Kimberly-Clark}} had been working 24/7 to maintain the supply. == April == === 14th [[Iranian International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career with Wikinews|International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career]] === [[File:Dorsa Derakhshani.png|alt=Derakshani smiling|right|thumb|{{w|Dorsa Derakhshani}} in {{w|Baku}}, 2017{{image|paren=true|Gibraltar Chess Festival}}]] [[File:Interview with IM Dorsa Derakhshani.flac|alt=|thumb|Interview with IM Dorsa Derakhshani.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] In March, ''Wikinews'' interviewed [[Iran]]ian [[chess]] {{w|International Master}} {{w|Dorsa Derakhshani}}, discussing her chess career. Back in 2017, Dorsa, and her younger brother Borna Derakhshani were banned from representing the Iranian national team. Dorsa was banned since she did not wear a ''[[hijab]]'', an [[Islam]]ic headscarf, while competing at the {{w|Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival}} in January 2017. Under the laws of Islamic Republic of Iran, ''hijab'' is a mandatory dress code. Her brother Borna Deraskhsani was banned for playing against [[Israel]]i {{w|Grand Master}} (GM) {{w|Alexander Huzman}} at the same tournament. IM Dorsa Derakhshani said she currently studies {{w|Pre-medical|pre-med}} at {{w|Saint Louis University}} in the [[United States]] and plays for the {{w|United States Chess Federation}}. Derakhshani said {{w|Polgár sisters}} were her inspiration. "I really liked the three sisters of Polgár, 'specially {{w|Judit Polgár|Judit}}. Just because she kept on going and she didn't just want to be the best female chess player. She was in top 10. She was one of the first to break the barriers of gender, especially in chess society." Speaking of the challenges in Iran, Derakhshani said, "one of the big challenges was that there weren't enough tournaments. Because in Iran, women are seen as second-class citizens, so, I wasn't allowed, and women weren't allowed to play, in open tournaments. And there weren't enough women chess players to organise a big event. And so when I was growing up and I was eight, we started — my parents started to request that okay, she is a good child, she should be able to play in male-based tournaments, basically. And they weren't even female tournaments, they were just tournaments. And so when I was eight, and when I was ten, they allowed the children, like the girl childs to play, which was kind of awkward. And then they came up with more flexible rules, like if you are in the national team, you can play whatever tournament you want, if you win your category. But still. It was very {{w|sexist}}." Dorsa Derakhshani said she had decided early on she did not want to play for the Iranian Chess Federation. Derakhshani spent some time in [[Spain]], playing for the {{w|Montcada}} Chess Club. When asked if the Iranian chess players reach out to support her after the federation announced banning her, Derakhshani said, "Very very few. And that was something that I expected to be more. Because all of my high school friends, actually most of my high school, just the class that I had: they reached out and they have a group chat and they were really supportive, my high school friends. But from the chess players, I think, Iranian Chess players, very few, maybe not even five or ten reached out to show their support which was very shocking to me." Speaking of her goals, IM Dorsa Derakhshani said, "I would really like to be in US top five. And I would also really like to be involved in chess as much as I can. I do have my {{w|FIDE trainer}} title, and I would really like to be able to teach more kids. I do have a few students and it seems to be going good, so far. But I would like to understand better how to fix and help the players." === 30th [[Neuroscientists tell Wikinews about empathy and harm aversion observed in lab rats]] === [[File:Harm aversion interview with Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola.webm|left|alt=|thumb|Interview with Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola about empathy and harm aversion observed in lab rats.{{image|[[User:Acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study published in March examined harm {{wikt|aversion|anchor=Noun}} in {{w|Sprague-Dawley rat|laboratory rats}} for {{wikt|conspecific|conspecifics|anchor=Noun}} &mdash; rats not wanting to hurt other members of the same species &mdash; and reported which region of the brain was crucial for it. ''Wikinews'' interviewed two of the authors of the study, Dr {{w|Christian Keysers}} and Dr Valeria Gazzola. In the experiment, the researchers trained lab rats to develop a preference for mechanincal levers, which delivered one pellet of {{w|sucrose}}. After the rats had a developed a preference, the researchers placed another lab rat in an adjacent compartment. This time, when the lever was pressed, an electrical shock was delivered to the other rat, while also delivering a sucrose pellet to the first rat. Researchers observed rats chose to avoid harming their conspecifics even when two sucrose pellets were delivered. The study also showed this behaviour was due to the {{w|anterior cingulate cortex}} (ACC). The researchers repeated the experiment after subjecting the rat's brain to {{w|muscimol}} and deactivating the ACC. The active rats in the test group were no longer averse to harming the victim rats, but degree of harm aversion did not drop in the control group rats. == May == === 22nd [[Astronomer tells Wikinews about discovery of closest black hole known so far]] === [[File:HR 6819.tif|thumb|alt=A bright celestial body with another one orbiting it closely|Artistic impression showing the orbits of the triplet of the {{w|HR 6819}} system.

''Wikinews'' interviewed researcher Thomas Rivinius. Around 1010 ± 195 {{w|light year|light years}} from the Solar System, the new discovery is located in the {{w|Telescopium}} constellation in the {{w|HR 6819}} system. This makes it the first system visible to the naked eye to contain a black hole. Astronomers started observing the system in 1999, Rivinius told ''Wikinews''. Originally thought to be a {{w|binary system}} of {{w|Binary star|stars}}, further examination indicated a third unseen object in the system. The star closer to the Black Hole orbits the black hole in just 40.333 ± 0.004 days. This black hole does not have an {{w|accretion disk}}. Using the {{w|binary mass function}}, the researchers estimated the mass of the black hole is at least 4.2 M☉ ({{w|Solar masses}}; 1 Solar mass = mass of the Sun). Rivinius also said "the first suggestion that it was a black hole surfaced in 2010", and the observations were "made from the {{w|Paranal Observatory}}" in [[Chile]]. == June == === 19th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, May 2020]] === In the first of six monthly articles chronicling the [[2020 United States presidential election]], ''Wikinews'' interviewed [[Michigan]] [[Constitution Party (United States)|Taxpayers Party]] chairman {{w|William Mohr}} and podcaster {{w|Spike Cohen}}, two individuals the [[Constitution Party (United States)|US Constitution Party]] and [[Libertarian Party (United States)|US Libertarian Party]] respectively nominated for vice president at their respective national conventions in May. ''Wikinews'' interviewed a third individual, truck driver {{w|Angela Nicole Walker}}, who was selected in May as the running mate for [[Green Party of the United States|US Green Party]] presidential frontrunner and {{w|Socialist Party USA}} presidential nominee {{w|Howie Hawkins}}. Mohr, the running mate of Constitution Party presidential nominee [[Don Blankenship]], discussed the story behind his nomination for vice president, how his political experience complemented Blankenship's business experience, and the challenges and opportunities the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], which Mohr felt overblown, created for the ticket's ability to gain support. Cohen, the running mate of Libertarian Party presidential nominee {{w|Jo Jorgensen}}, discussed how the wars in [[Iraq]] and [[Afghanistan]] changed his political views from {{w|neoconservatism|neoconservative}} to [[libertarianism|libertarian]], how he planned to campaign with Jorgensen in innovative and traditional manners, and how he hoped to gain traction for the campaign with a focus on libertarian issues, viral social media, and getting into the presidential debates. Walker discussed how she planned to use her political experience to bring people from marginalized communities together, why leftists should vote for her ticket over others, and how she hoped her campaign would unite marginalized communities. === 28th [[Neanderthals 'knew what they were doing': Archæologist Dr Naomi Martisius discusses her findings about Neanderthals' behaviour with Wikinews|Archæologist Dr Naomi Martisius discusses study about Neanderthals' behaviour]] === [[File:Interview with Naomi Martisius about strategic bone tool raw material selection by Neandertals.webm|alt=|thumb|350px|The interview with Dr Naomi Martisius.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study published in May conducted by {{w|archæologist}} Dr Naomi Martisius and other researchers concluded [[Neanderthals]] living in [[Europe]] tens of thousands of years ago were more sophisticated than previously thought. The now-extinct species used to carefully select bones from a particular animal species to manufacture their bone tools, the research showed. The researchers collected bone tools from Abri Peyrony and Pech-de-l’Azé I in [[France]]. The bone tools were just a few centimetres in size and were about 50 thousand years old, Dr Martisius told ''Wikinews''. Microscopy analysis of these bone tools, made from the ribs of large {{w|bovids}}, called ''lissoirs'' (smoothers) suggested Neanderthals used these tools for working animal skin to leathers. Dr Martisius told ''Wikinews'' this was likely due to the physical characteristics of the bovid ribs, which were "thicker" and "stronger" as compared to the "thin and flimsy ribs" of reindeers. The study reported the archæological sites had far many reindeer bones, however, Neanderthals selectively used bones of large bovids for this purpose. For the purpose of this research, the archæologists used a technology called non-destructive Zooarchæology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS). Instead of damaging the bone artefacts in order to discover its origins, the researchers collected {{w|collagen}} from the plastic containers in which these artefacts were kept. Collagen is a type of protein. These bone artefacts were kept in plastic containers: some were kept for about five years, some for just a few months. During this time, the collagen proteins from bone tools were stuck to the walls of their plastic containers. The collagen samples collected from the walls of the containers are broken into smaller molecules called {{w|peptide|peptides}} by using a chemical {{w|enzyme}} called {{w|trypsin}}. One of the advantages of using bovid ribs over reindeer's thin ribs was the bovid ribs would be more resistant to breaking during flexion, Dr Martisius said. Dr Martisius said such non-destructive ZooMS analysis was previously conducted, but for tools no older than a few centuries. She said such an analysis had never been previously conducted for artefacts so ancient. === 30th [[Open source game developer Perttu Ahola talks about Minetest with Wikinews]] === [[File:Celeron55.jpg|thumb|alt=A man seated at a laptop|File photo of Perttu Ahola. {{image|paren=true|Calinou}}]] In June, ''Wikinews'' spoke to [[Finland|Finnish]] [[FLOSS|open-source]] {{w|video game}} developer Perttu Ahola. About ten years ago, Ahola created Minetest, a {{w|sandbox game}} similar to {{w|Minecraft}}. Ahola told ''Wikinews'' he took it as a challenge to create a game like Minnecraft when it was in its {{w|Software release life cycle|alpha version|anchor=Alpha}}. Minetest is a [[FLOSS|free and open-source]] game, which is free for anyone to download and play. It is written in the {{w|C++}} programming language, and the source code is available on code-hosting site [[GitHub]]. According to Ahola, Minetest attempts to run on older hardware, with limited graphics, but to be accessible to more people: those who have outdated technology, and making it available for no cost. Speaking about the development of the game, Ahola said, "It was developed in a very {{w|Iterative and incremental development|iterative manner}}. We've never had to throw away any big parts. Maybe iterative isn't the best word, I mean it was always developed by building on what was previously created. Actually we've had one big change, although it too was an addition: When we went from version 0.3 to 0.4, Minetest gained its {{w|Lua (programming language)|Lua}}-based {{w|modding}} {{w|API}}. It was a really big change in how people thought about and used Minetest." Speaking about his typical day as the core-developer of the game, Ahola said, "Currently, as I'm focusing on some other programming projects outside of Minetest, when I have some free time I still check the Minetest {{w|Internet Relay Chat|IRC}} channels and GitHub to see what's going on, and if I have something to say I'll make a comment about it. Of course I check my emails to see if any automated system has sent me a warning about something and needs fixing, or maybe there's a private message on the forum about some administrative task that needs doing. I might check some system statistics on the VPS [{{w|Virtual Private Server}}] running the forum to make sure it's running smoothly and make sure backups look ok." == July == === 7th [[Astronomer Anthony Boccaletti discusses observation of birth of potential exoplanet with Wikinews|Astronomer Boccaletti discusses observation of birth of potential exoplanet]] === [[File:Interview with Anthony Boccaletti about possible exoplanet formation.webm|alt=|thumb|Interview with Anthony Boccaletti.{{image|[[user:acagastya|acagastya]]}}]] A study reported in March potential signs of formation of an [[exoplanet]] around the star {{w|AB Aurigae}} &mdash; something never observed before. Located in the {{w|Auriga constellation}}, AB Aurigae is about 520 {{w|light years}} away from the [[Earth]]. The astronomers observed the {{w|protoplanetary disk}} around the star. The astronomers used the [[European Southern Observatory]]'s {{w|Very Large Telescopes}} in [[Chile]] to study this system. ''Wikinews'' caught up with Anthony Boccaletti, one of the authors of the study, to discuss this findings. Boccaletti told ''Wikinews'' "AB Aurigae is a star which is more massive than the Sun, but also very very young". They observed a protoplanetary disc around the young star. The potential to-be planet is roughly about 30 astronomical units from the star, which is almost the same distance between the Sun and {{w|Neptune}}. Boccaletti said "Because we know that the planets are forming when a star is very young; so when it's like one million or five million years old. And it took about probably a million year for a planet to form. So it is important to look at very young planet, if you want to understand how the planet forms, you need to look at very young systems." The researchers used {{w|Adaptive optics|adaptive optics}} and {{w|Coronagraph|coronagraphy}} for this study. Speaking about the type and size of the planet, Boccaletti said, "It will be a giant planet, really. Maybe even bigger than Jupiter. Maybe 10 times the mass of Jupiter. But it couldn't be a planet that is like the Earth. If it were a planet like the Earth, it wouldn't make this kind of spiral. The spiral would not be detectable, in that case. So it's necessarily a very big planet." === 25th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2020]] === [[File:LG PICs 2 002.JPG|thumb|alt=Richardson smiling, wearing a suit|Darcy Richardson in 2011. {{image|Darcy Richardson}}]] In the second of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' interviewed retired marine Billy Joe Parker, vice presidential nominee of the [[Prohibition Party (United States)|US Prohibition Party]], historian [[Darcy Richardson]], vice presidential nominee of the {{w|Alliance Party (United States)|US Alliance}} and [[Reform Party of the United States of America|Reform]] parties, and educator Tiara Lusk, vice presidential nominee of the Life and Liberty Party. Parker was the running mate of Prohibition Party presidential nominee {{w|Phil Collins (politician)|Phil Collins}}, who, in June, unsuccessfully attempted to obtain the presidential nomination of the Reform Party. With ''Wikinews'', Parker discussed his decision in "AD 2005" to join the Prohibition Party due to him being impressed with the party's standards and membership. He explained he felt Collins a much better choice for president than the Republican and Democratic nominees and spoke directly to voters, advising them to make a choice benefitting the children of the nation. Richardson, the running mate of Alliance Party presidential nominee [[Rocky De La Fuente]], secured the vice presidential nomination of the Reform Party, with De La Fuente as the presidential nominee, at the party's national convention in June. Richardson discussed with ''Wikinews'', his plan to campaign for the ticket across the nation, within the confines of COVID-19 restrictions. He compared, unfavorably, President [[Donald Trump]] to President {{w|Zachary Taylor}} and described the then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee [[Joe Biden]] as past his prime. Richardson highlighted the Alliance Party's goal to make the United States into a "gold medal nation." Lusk, who became the first vice presidential nominee of the Life and Liberty at the party's inaugural national convention held virtually in June, was the running mate of the party's founder and presidential nominee J.R. Myers. With ''Wikinews'', Lusk discussed how the Life and Liberty Party has less emphasis on Christianity than the US Constitution Party, how Myers' debate performance impressed her and that led her to join his new party, and said the campaign was focused on healing and uniting the nation. == August == === 13th [[Water main bursts in White Plains, New York, US]] === [[File:2020 White Plains Water Main Break 20200810 (3).jpg|alt=An intersection with caution tape|thumb|240px|left|The burst pipe destroyed the street. {{image|[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]]}}]] In August, a {{w|water main}} broke in the [[US]] city of [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], [[New York State|New York]], cutting off the water supply to most of the city. The burst pipe caused a huge crater to form in a major intersection in the heart of the city, flooding the streets. Emergency crews were on the scene to repair the pipes in order to restore water service. Almost all customers had water restored by the evening of the same day. ''Wikinews'' was on the scene around 6:20 pm local time and could observe a large crater in the street caused by the amount of water from the burst pipe. Crews from the Department of Public Works as well as some the fire department were there. Water was no longer rushing uncontrolled into the street. Shortly thereafter, at 6:30 pm, the city issued a follow-up statement announcing the break had been contained by DPW. Residents were advised to expect the water to perhaps be "discolored" when it initially returned. === 25th [[Caloundra defeat Wynnum in fourth round of 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season|Caloundra defeat Wynnum in round 4 of Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season]] === [[File:Caloundra_bench_at_A_grade_game_v_Wynnum_2020–08–15.jpg|right|alt=Football players seated on the ground at the sideline of the field|thumb|Caloundra's bench during the first half.{{image|[[User:RockerballAustralia|Patrick Gillett]]}}]] In August, [[Caloundra Rugby Union Club|Caloundra]] defeated {{w|Wynnum Rugby Union Club|Wynnum}} 45&ndash;24 in their Round 4 [[Sunshine Coast Rugby Union]] match which was played at the Grenada Street ground in Wynnum. Caloundra's half back Jarrod Kidston said, "Yeah it was a good start from us, probably the best start from us in a while. Then we just made a couple of mistakes and let them back in the game. They're a good outfit so they put points on pretty quick." Wynnum coach Matt Myers said "We got back on even and managed to go try for try for a couple [...] [We] let them [have the] momentum [and they were] over the top, they got a roll on". === 31st [[On the campaign trail in the USA, July 2020]] === In the third of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' interviewed teacher Amar Patel, vice presidential nominee of the {{w|American Solidarity Party}}, filmmaker John de Graaf, vice presidential nominee of the Bread and Roses Party, and engineer Eric Bodenstab, vice presidential nominee of the [[Unity Party of America]]. Patel, on the ticket with Solidarity Party presidential nominee {{w|Brian T. Carroll}}, secured ballot access in [[Illinois]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', Patel discussed Carroll asking him to join the ticket, how he used Twitter to complement Carroll's use of Facebook to spread the campaign message, and listed all the states, in addition to Illinois, where the ticket had obtained or was in the process of obtaining ballot access. De Graaf, on the inaugural ticket with Bread and Roses presidential nominee {{w|Jerome Segal}}, secured ballot access in [[Vermont]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', de Graaf described the Bread and Roses Party's focus on quality of life issues, how his background as a documentary filmmaker complemented Segal's academic background, discussed the "Beauty New Deal", and emphasized the party's goal of educating the populace and providing a leftist alternative in non-swing states like Vermont. Bodenstab, on the inaugural ticket with Unity Party founder and presidential nominee Bill Hammons, secured ballot access in [[New Jersey]] in July. With ''Wikinews'', Bodenstab explained why his party decided to field a presidential ticket, described his efforts of building grassroots support in places without much personal connection, and basked in the moment of him and Hammons building a political party and running for president as ordinary citizens. == September == === 1st [[University defeat Maroochydore in round five of 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season|University defeat Maroochydore in round 5 of Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season]] === [[File:EDIT Maroochydore v University 2020–08–29 1.jpg|left|alt=Two rugby teams on the field|thumb|Maroochydore played much of the first half in their attacking half.

A bat bit Jorgensen on the chin in early August. ''Wikinews'' reached out to Jorgensen's campaign manager and deputy campaign manager who witnessed the attack first hand. ''Wikinews'' recounted the treatment Jorgensen received while on the campaign trail and noted the impact the story had on the visibility of the campaign as it attempted to gain in the polls to qualify for the official presidential debates. In mid-August, the American Independent Party, with ballot access in the most populous US state of [[California]], nominated De La Fuente for president and West for vice president. This created some dissention between De La Fuente and his running mate in all the other states, Darcy Richardson. ''Wikinews'' spoke to Richardson, who felt the American Independent Party was using De La Fuente and West in an attempt to assist the campaign of President Donald Trump. At the time, West was running for president as the nominee of his creation, the Birthday Party. ''Wikinews'' examined public statements from leaders of the American Independent Party, revealing their goal of helping the Trump campaign. Additionally, ''Wikinews'' uncovered FEC documents showing a series of payments from De La Fuente to the vice-chairman of the American Independent Party in the months leading up to the party's August convention. In public statements ''Wikinews'' reported, the same aforementioned leaders of American Independent Party, questioned the eligibility of Kamala Harris upon her selection as Biden's running mate, based on the citizenship of her parents at her birth. ''Wikinews'' documented a minority of legal experts, including "Birther King" [[Andy Martin]], who agreed in part with the leaders of the party, and highlighted the legal majority that discounted the "birther" arguments entirely and likened them to those questioning the citizenship of former president [[Barack Obama]]. == October == === 19th [[Wikinews interviews Don Blankenship, U.S. Constitution Party presidential nominee|Interview with Don Blankenship, U.S. Constitution Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Don Blankenship Image (cropped).jpeg|alt=Blankenship wearing a suit, looking to the camera|thumb|Don Blankenship {{image|[[c:Special:Contributions/Brianhayden1980|Brianhayden1980]]}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed businessman Don Blankenship, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Constitution Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Blankenship named {{w|George Washington}} as the past US president he most admires. He cited multiple aspects providing him with the experience to perform the duties of the presidency such as: previously dealing with the government, knowing government's flaws, being poor, being rich, serving in federal prison, and defeating the establishment. He identified his leadership style as rooted in "truth and conviction." The COVID-19 pandemic restricted his ability to obtain ballot access in many states. He lamented he would only receive half of the votes anticipated due to pandemic-related limitations, and argued if he had been president during the start of the pandemic he would have quarantined those with symptoms, protected elderly people, and allowed young people to work. As president, Blankenship said he would reduce the number of cabinet members and appoint those who previously have not worked in government. He would choose judges based on their fidelity to the US Constitution and would apply pressure to Congress based on "common sense" without drama and hyperbole. Politically, Blankenship opposed any government action to combat climate change, argued for less intervention in the affairs of other nations and for most US troops abroad to be brought back to the US. He derided social media censorship, endorsed an end to illegal immigration to the US, and endorsed education equality based on location rather than race. In his final plea to voters, Blankenship quoted the inaugural address of President {{w|John F. Kennedy}} as crucial to maintaining the survival of the United States, "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." === 22nd [[Wikinews interviews 2020 Melbourne Lord Mayor Candidate Wayne Tseng]] === [[File:Portrait of Wayne Tseng.jpeg|alt=Tseng smiling|thumb|200px|Portrait of Wayne Tseng{{image|Wayne Tseng}}]] In October, ''Wikinews'' spoke with 2020 [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]] {{w|Lord Mayor}} candidate Wayne Tseng about his election campaign. Tseng runs a firm called eTranslate, which helps software developers to make the software available to the users. Tseng discussed his plans for leading Melbourne, recovering from [[COVID-19]], and "Democracy 2.0" to ensure concerns of minorities in the city were also heard. Tseng also focused on the importance of the multi-culture aspect and talked about making Melbourne the capital of the {{w|aboriginal|aboriginals}}. Tseng also explained why he thinks Melbourne is poised to be a world city by 2030. At that time, {{w|Sally Capp}} was the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]]n capital. Capp was elected as an interim Lord Mayor in mid-2018 after the former Lord Mayor {{w|Robert Doyle}} resigned from his position after [[sexual assault]] allegations. Speaking of Capp's governance, Tseng said, "I do appreciate the hard work Sally did to bridge the political divide in a council chamber she inherited. This year the pandemic has made her work even harder as for any other leaders. But what she fall short off is to stand up to the State Government (provincial government) which [has] restricted the city ability to take its own decisive action to better protect the city." Tseng proposed the plan of "Re-open, Reset, Reform". "My strategy is to Re-open, Reset, Reform as part of Melbourne Recovery. There is a comprehensive plan for recovery in all sectors from business to residents. See attached document", Tseng said. Also speaking about the multi-cultural aspects of Melbourne, Tseng said: "The distribution of indigenous people depends on a lot of factors. These again due to historical reasons that we can go on forever. [There] are tens of indigenous tribes across the country. Sadly some were hunted to extinction in the last century, particularly in [[Tasmania]]. Mak[ing] a location a capital for the First Nations people will be symbolic rather than totally enshrine[d] in law. Ideally it would be best in the {{w|City of Darwin}}. But unless I was a mayor there, it may not happen. So having [it] in Melbourne does allow some symbolic and provide a forum for the different tribes to gather and have open discussions. The 'capital' can rotate from city to city periodically if other cities allow. But ultimately it will be up to the elders to approve." === 22nd [[Wikinews interviews Phil Collins, U.S. Prohibition Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:PhilCollins.webp|alt=Collins smiling|thumb|Phil Collins {{image|Prohibition Party}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed former {{w|Libertyville Township, Illinois}} trustee Phil Collins, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Prohibition Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Collins named {{w|Abraham Lincoln}} and [[Ronald Reagan]] as the past US presidents he most admires. He cited his 21 years of military service including a stop outside [[Baghdad]] and his background in government as a township trustee as providing him the experience in leadership to serve as President. He described his personal leadership style as focused on following the US Constitution. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted his ability to obtain ballot access in many states, namely [[Tennessee]]. Nevertheless, he was able to obtain more ballot access than his party's 2016 ticket and so anticipated receiving more votes. For the pandemic, he outlined a plan to encourage cooperation among the different US states and find out how the states with fewer infections did so in a televised press conference. As president, he said he would nominate a cabinet made up of people who could work with members of his own party as well as the Democratic and Republican parties. He singled out former {{w|United States Secretary of Defense|Defense Secretary}} {{w|Robert Gates}} as his choice for {{w|United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State}}. As for the others, he said he would seek input from fellow Prohibition Party leadership. For Supreme Court nominations, Collins said he would nominate current federal judges who base their opinions on the US Constitution. He planned to connect with members on a personal level in order to pass his agenda in Congress. On the issues, Collins said he would combat climate change through recommendations from former leaders of the {{w|United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA}}. He proposed splitting the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh area between Armenia and Azerbaijan to resolve their differences. To avoid social media censorship, he said he would encourage the people of the US to use alternatives. As for race relations, Collins proposed more advertising for federal government positions aimed at minorities, and the posting of federal anti-discrimination rules in each federal office. === 23rd [[Wikinews interviews Bill Hammons, Unity Party of America presidential nominee]] === [[File:Bill Hammons.jpg|alt=Hammons smiling|thumb|Bill Hammons {{image|Bill Hammons}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed entrepreneur Bill Hammons, 2020 presidential nominee of the Unity Party of America, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. Hammons named {{w|George Washington}} as the past US president he most admires. He cited his experience as the founder and chairman of the Unity Party, his time managing ''Newsweek'' magazine, and founding of the site ''Bill's List'' as providing him with the experience to be president. Hammons described his leadership style as centrist, looking to others from all sides for input. Had he been president at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hammons said he would use the {{w|Defense Production Act}} to produce the supplies to combat the coronavirus, expand testing, use social media to trace those infected, and convert unused hotels as a place to house the quarantined. Before the pandemic, Hammons explained he campaigned door-to-door but afterwards made use of targeted phone calls and text messages to reach voters. Despite the pandemic, he predicted growth for the Unity Party. Hammons planned to fill his cabinet with a "Team of Rivals" like that of Abraham Lincoln's administration. He said he would look at a judge's common sense to determine who to nominate to the Supreme Court and devised a plan to prevent future {{w|Court packing}} with a Constitutional amendment. For dealing with Congress, Hammons emphasized the use of compromise. As for policy matters, for dealing with climate change, Hammons said he would take advice from billionaire [[Bill Gates]], [[Harvard University|Harvard]] scientists, and explore the distribution of cooling material into the atmosphere. He endorsed the use of US peacemakers to resolve the [[Armenia]]-[[Azerbaijan]] {{w|2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war|conflict}}, and argued that [[Facebook]] and other social media were doing a good job of striking a balance between freedom of expression and the protection of democracy. He proposed changing the motto of [[Black Lives Matter]] to "Black Lives Matter Too" and {{w|Defund the Police}} to "Refund the Police", and the nation could then "take a sober look at how we can be a more harmonious nation going forward". === 26th [[GitHub blocks public access to youtube-dl after RIAA issues DMCA notice]] === [[File:Philipp Hagemeister.jpeg|alt=Hagemeister smiling|thumb|Philipp Hagemeister had previously maintained youtube-dl's source code{{image|Philipp Hagemeister}}]] In October, after reciving a [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] (DMCA) take-down notice from the {{w|Recording Industry Association of America}} (RIAA), code hosting and sharing website [[GitHub]] blocked the public access to {{w|youtube-dl}}, a software which can download videos from the internet via the {{w|command-line}}. RIAA's DMCA notice alleged the script's purpose of existence was to "circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube" and "reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use". youtube-dl has multiple unit tests in its source code, which test whether the software works in different circumstances or not. One of the tests included the URL of some copyrighted songs. ''Wikinews'' spoke with a former maintainer and contributor of the youtube-dl project Philipp Hagemeister about this blocking. Hagemeister told ''Wikinews'', "youtube-dl downloads and plays videos and music, just like any other web browser, from over 1000 different services. Its uses are varied: It enables video playback on many devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi) where the video services don't work properly, it makes high-quality video playable for people with a bad or no Internet connection, it enables disabled users to use tools to play videos, and it is used for archival and research." GitHub's DMCA repository, where the takedown notice was published for public viewing, was subject to contant vandalism from multiple GitHub users. One user submitted a {{w|pull request}}, {{w|Merge (version control)|merging}} the source code of youtube-dl along with the DMCA repository. This enabled users to view youtube-dl's source code from within the DMCA repository, provided they know the commit id. The [[Electronic Frontier Foundation]] said on [[Twitter]] "Youtube-dl is a legitimate tool with a world of a lawful uses. Demanding its removal from Github is a disappointing and counterproductive move by the RIAA." Soon after the public access to the repository was locked, multiple users started sharing the source code via self-hosted {{w|git}} servers, {{w|Tor (anonymity network)|Tor}} sites and via the {{w|BitTorrent|Torrent protocol}} leading to a [[Streisand effect]]. Streisand effect is when a measure to censor information causes further spread of that information. === 29th [[On the campaign trail in the USA, September 2020]] === In the fifth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' reported on the Libertarian Party ticket of Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen achieving ballot access in all 50 states in September, examined the proposal of Unity Party presidential nominee Bill Hammons to prevent future packing of the [[United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] amid the death of Justice [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], and documented the positions of multiple presidential candidates on the [[Armenia]]-[[Azerbaijan]] conflict that intensified in September. The Jorgensen-Cohen ticket attained ballot access in all 50 US states in early September; noteworthy due to the restrictions placed on petitioning with the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing. ''Wikinews'' looked back at past third party and Independent presidential tickets that achieved the same feat. One of those tickets was that of the Libertarian Party in 1996 that included Jorgensen as the running mate for {{w|Harry Browne}}. In September, the death of liberal Justice Ginsburg and nomination of conservative Judge {{w|Amy Coney Barrett}} as her replacement led to calls from some Democrats to add more justices. ''Wikinews'' spoke with presidential candidate Hammons, who proposed fixing the number of justices at 13, the number of federal circuit courts, with a constitutional amendment to prevent Court packing. As the conflict between the nations of Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of {{w|Nagorno-Karabakh}} increased in September, ''Wikinews'' asked Jorgensen, Constitution Party presidential nominee Don Blankenship, and Prohibition Party presidential nominee Phil Collins for their positions on the matter. While Jorgensen and Blankenship argued the US should remain out of the conflict and let the nations resolve it themselves, Collins proposed the disputed region be split in half. === 29th [[Wikinews interviews Jo Jorgensen, U.S. Libertarian Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Jo Jorgensen portrait 1 (crop 1).jpg|alt=Jorgensen smiling|thumb|Jo Jorgensen{{image|Jo Jorgensen for President}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed psychology professor Jo Jorgensen, 2020 presidential nominee of the US Libertarian Party, about her background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on her 2020 presidential campaign, her political agenda, and policy positions. Jorgensen named {{w|Thomas Jefferson}} as the past US president she most admires. She cited the knowledge, instilled in her from her grandmother who migrated from [[Denmark]], that business and family work better without government interference, as the most important preparation for an individual to have to serve as president. Jorgensen cited her leadership style as "{{w|Primum non nocere|first, do no harm}}." If she were president at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jorgensen says she would have prevented government agencies from blocking access to free market solutions, used the bully pulpit of the presidency to encourage the wearing of masks and social distancing, and put an end to pandemic-related lockdowns. Because of the pandemic, Jorgensen says her campaign events had limited participants and that the restrictions hampered her campaign ground game. However, she was able to use social media to reach potential voters. She acknowledged her lack of name recognition made it difficult initially but was satisfied with her position in opinion polls and felt it was a victory that the major party candidates discussed liberty issues such as lowering taxes, bring US troops back to the US, and suspending the {{w|war on drugs}}. She hoped her campaign would be remembered for her pledge to "make America like one giant [[Switzerland]], armed and neutral." For her cabinet, Jorgensen said she would invite policy analysts from the {{w|Cato Institute}} and {{w|Reason Foundation}}, others who advocate for smaller government, and libertarians who hold elected office as Democrats and Republicans. She cited the presidential veto as her biggest tool when dealing with Congress, and endorsed smaller budgets, cannabis decriminalization, and reform of criminal law. Jorgensen said she would pardon all imprisoned for a non-violent drug offenses and whistleblowers like [[Edward Snowden]] and [[Julian Assange]]. As commander-in-chief of the military, she planned to bring home all overseas US troops. As for policy matters, Jorgensen called for an end to subsidies to the energy sector, particularly that of fossil fuels, and for an increased focus on nuclear power. She argued for staying out of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict entirely and that she was more concerned with government censorship than censorship from social media platforms. As for improving race relations, Jorgensen endorsed criminal justice reform including reforms of police tactics and decriminalization of victimless crimes, and for an end to licensing laws restricting equal opportunity in economics. === 30th [[Wikinews interviews Brian Carroll, American Solidarity Party presidential nominee]] === [[File:Brian T. Carroll - head shot .75 aspect ratio.png|alt=Carroll smiling|thumb|Brian T. Carroll.{{image|Roy Dressel}}]] ''Wikinews'' interviewed retired teacher Brian Carroll, 2020 presidential nominee of the American Solidarity Party, about his background, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on his 2020 presidential campaign, his political agenda, and policy positions. As a past history teacher, Carroll gave his opinion on many presidents, adding he had recently acquired an appreciation for {{w|Ulysses S. Grant}}. He cited his teaching and experience in raising community awareness as the political experience he needed for the role of president. Carroll described his leadership style as opposite that of President Trump, which he felt included listening to experts and hiring an organized staff. For the COVID-19 pandemic, Carroll said he would have used the guidelines of President Barack Obama and employed the Defense Production Act. He explained that rather than campaigning, the pandemic had kept him at home with his wife, which he considered a blessing. Personally, he felt the pandemic was less stressful than for others. However, he expected to perform better in the presidential election than the ticket his party nominated in 2016. Carroll said he wanted to nominate a cabinet that would work with Congress with an emphasis on bipartisanship. Specifically, he said he would ask the {{w|Climate Solutions Caucus}} and the {{w|Problem Solvers Caucus}} for cabinet recommendations. For the Supreme Court, Carroll wanted judges with opinions more aligned with consumers and workers than corporations. On the issue of climate change, Carroll favored less reliance on carbon energy and endorsed {{w|Thorium-based nuclear power|thorium nuclear}} as well as solar, wind, thermal, and carbon capture technologies. On other issues, Carroll opposed any military intervention in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict but called for diplomatic maneuvers. He said we should be patient with social media as it is in its teen years, and said that race relations were a high priority and that he agreed with many policy recommendations in the Contract with Black America. In his final plea to voters, Carroll argued that while the major parties focus on panic, the Solidarity Party stands for hope. == November == === 2nd [[On the campaign trail in the USA, October 2020]] === In the sixth of six monthly articles chronicling the 2020 US presidential election, ''Wikinews'' covered two debates of independent and third party presidential candidates that the {{w|Free and Equal Elections Foundation}} held in October. Three third party presidential candidates that did not participate in either of those debates provided ''Wikinews'' with their final pleas to voters. Additionally, three political pundits gave their predictions on the ultimate outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The Free and Equal Elections Foundation held two debates in October for which ''Wikinews'' provided detailed summaries. Free and Equal's founder and director Christina Tobin moderated both debates. The first debate featured Independent presidential candidate {{w|Brock Pierce}}, Green Party presidential nominee Howie Hawkins, Constitution Party presidential nominee Don Blankenship, American Solidarity Party presidential nominee Brian Carroll, and {{w|Party for Socialism and Liberation}} presidential nominee {{w|Gloria La Riva}}. All of these candidates participated in the second debate except for Blankenship. ''Wikinews'' sought out some of the other third party and independent presidential candidates that did not participate in either October debate to obtain a final plea to voters. Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen, Prohibition Party presidential nominee Phil Collins, and Unity Party presidential nominee Bill Hammons each provided a statement. Jorgensen directed her message to disaffected Democrats and Republicans, telling both to "Be Bold. Vote Gold." Collins discussed the harmful effects of alcohol and mentioned that his party supports a balanced budget, gun rights, and opposes abortion. Hammons argued he could be in the running in a close election if he obtained just one electoral vote and asked voters to "vote their conscience." ''Wikinews'' sought out election predictions from political blogger Thomas Knapp, senior news analyst of the William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism, former Congressman [[Tom Tancredo]], and attorney Ron Gunzburger, founder of Politics1.com. Whereas Knapp and Gunzburger predicted a victory for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Tancredo predicted President Donald Trump would be re-elected in a landslide victory. === 27th [[Wikinews interviews Sandra Jephcott, Sustainable Australia candidate for 2020 Groom by-election|Interview with Sandra Jephcott, Sustainable Australia candidate for Groom by-election]] === [[File:Sandra Jephcott headshot Sustainable Australia Party.jpg|alt=Jephcott smiling|thumb|Portrait of Jephcott.{{image|{{w|Sustainable Australia}}}}]] Following the resignation of {{w|Division of Groom}}'s MP {{w|John McVeigh}} for family reasons, the Australian {{w|electoral district}} in [[Queensland]] had a by-election. Sandra Jephcott of the {{w|Sustainable Australia}} party was one of the four candidates running for the by-election. ''Wikinews'' spoke with Jephcott about her campaign. According to the party's website, Jephcott is a {{w|veterinarian}} and farmer, who has completed a veterinary degree from the [[University of Queensland]], as well as a {{w|Master of Business Affairs}} at {{w|Bond University}} and a {{w|Master of Science}} at {{w|James Cook University}}. Sandra Jephcott spoke about overdevelopment and corruption as some of her priorities. "I believe that the Groom by-election offers voters an opportunity to send a message to the two major parties that we're not happy with business as usual politics &mdash; including rampant overdevelopment and systemic political corruption that negatively impacts on the environment." She also spoke about the plans to combat [[climate change]]. "Net zero or net negative Australian greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (or ideally sooner)", Jephcott said. === 27th [[Wikinews interviews Craig Farquharson, Liberal Democrat candidate for 2020 Groom by-election|Interview with Craig Farquharson, Liberal Democrat candidate for Groom by-election]] === [[File:Portrait of Craig Farquharson.png|alt=Farquharson speaking|thumb|200px|Portrait of Craig Farquharson.{{image|{{w|Liberal Democratic Party (Australia)|Liberal Democrats - Queensland}}}}]] ''Wikinews'' also interviewed Craig Farquharson, who was the {{w|Liberal Democrats (Australia)|Liberal Democrat}} candidate for the 2020 Groom by-election following John McVeigh's resignation as the MP. Farquharson told ''Wikinews'', "What prompted me to run as a candidate in Groom is, because as a small business owner, I could not get my elected MP to talk to me or even to call me back. I became "cheesed off" with elected representatives who are inaccessible to their electorate, and resolved to do something about it. I have pledged that if elected I will be as accessible as possible to voters in my electorate. After 36 years of being a safe Coalition seat, the electorate is ready for change, and wants the additional attention that a more marginal electorate gets, or alternately another party to represent them." Spaking for the Liberal Democrats, Farquharson said they "would like to see some of the restrictions relaxed to enable people to take personal responsibility for their own health. We do not believe recreational drug use should be criminalised — this is harmful to society and funnels money to dangerous gangs via the black market. We believe that drug abuse is a separate matter to use, and should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal matter." Speaking about coal mining and renewable energy sources, Farquharson said: "While Australia can switch to alternative technologies to generate power and for energy, many undeveloped nations depend on cheap electricity to lift their billions out of poverty. And responding to this demand, providing a better quality of coal would not only be an environmental improvement, for humanity and for alleviation of global poverty, it is the right thing to do." == December == === 14th [[Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream; CentOS team discuss implications with Wikinews|Red Hat to move focus away from CentOS in favour of Stream]] === [[File:Centos-logo-light.svg|alt=The CentOS logo with a series of colorful arrows overlapping|thumb|Logo of CentOS.{{image|{{w|CentOS}}}}]] US-based [[software]] company [[Red Hat]] announced they were shifting their investments from {{w|CentOS Linux}} to a rolling-release of CentOS Stream as an upstream for the development of {{w|Red Hat Enterprise Linux}} (RHEL). This led to many users expressing their frustration on {{w|Internet Relay Chat}} (IRC), [[Reddit]] and CentOS project's mailing list. CentOS has been in existence sincne 2004, providing the freely-licensed RHEL for no cost. It was absorbed by Red Hat in 2014, and in the process, Red Hat gained the trademark rights of "CentOS". Stream was announced in September 2019, months after [[IBM]] acquired Red Hat. One of the {{w|quality assurance}} team of CentOS team, Pablo Greco, told ''Wikinews'', "I've been using Stream for most of my things ever since it came out, and I love the idea for it. The only problem is that Stream is being used as an excuse to kill CentOS, and that's the part I hate." CentOS 8's {{w|End of Life}} (EOL) was cut short from 2029 to December 2021, while CentOS 7's EOL is in 2024. ''Wikinews'' spoke to Greco, as well as CentOS project's community manager Rich Bowen, who also works for Red Hat. Greco told ''Wikinews'' CentOS "used to be rock solid distribution, with almost everything that RHEL has, but without all the hassle or the costs of a RHEL license, and obviously without the main benefit of RHEL which is the support." Bowen said, "One of the exciting things about the move to CentOS Stream is it's designed to be an actual contributor community, rather than the legacy CentOS Linux that is almost entirely a consumer community." === 18th [[Gregory Kurtzer discusses plans for Rocky Linux with Wikinews as Red Hat announces moving focus away from CentOS|Gregory Kurtzer discusses plans for Rocky Linux]] === [[File:Gregory Kurtzer.jpg|left|alt=Kurtzer smiling|thumb|Gregory Kurtzer announced Rocky Linux to take the place of CentOS.{{image|Gregory Kurtzer}}]] [[File:Rocky Linux wordmark.svg|alt=The Rokcy Linux logo|thumb|Logo of Rocky Linux{{image|Josh Urbain and Hayden Young}}]] After Red Hat's announcement to stop investing in CentOS, Gregory Kurtzer announced {{w|Rocky Linux}} to fill in the void of CentOS. Kurtzer had started CAOS Linux, which was then succeeded by CentOS when Rocky McGaugh, a developer of CAOS rebuilt the source code of RHEL to provide a monetarily free alternative. "Thinking back to early CentOS days... My cofounder was Rocky McGaugh. He is no longer with us, so as a H/T [{{w|hat tip}}] to him, who never got to see the success that CentOS came to be, I introduce to you...Rocky Linux", Kurtzer said to announce the project. Kurtzer discussed the origins of CentOS and plans for Rocky Linux in an interview with ''Wikinews''. Speaking of Rocky Linux, Kurtzer said the "goal is to be {{w|Bug compatibility|bug-for-bug}} compatible with RHEL and provide a long life for enterprise needs." He also said existing CentOS operating systems can be converted to Rocky Linux by executing a single command. Though no formal date of release has been announced, Kurtzer said, it can be expected "near the end of Q1 or beginning of Q2 2021", and both {{w|x86-64}} as well as {{w|ARM architecture}} will be supported. There are about 65&nbsp;developers working on the CentOS replacement, Kurtzer said. He also added, "My commitment to the project is that Rocky will always remain in the best interest of the community and everyone who wishes to be part of the organization, with good intentions, will be welcomed. Since day one, Rocky's coordination efforts have been completely transparent." === 25th [['Earth-based life can survive in hydrogen-rich atmospheres': MIT professor Dr Seager tells Wikinews about her research on organisms thriving in oxygen-less environment|Dr Seager tells about organisms thriving in oxygen-less environment]] === [[File:Sara Seager CHF-Cain-Conference-May-2016-059.jpg|alt=Seager speaking into a microphne, standing at a lectern|thumb|File photo of Dr Sara Seager.{{image|Conrad Erb}}]] A study published by [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] professor Dr {{w|Sara Seager}} and other researchers in May showed {{w|Unicellular organism|single-celled organisms}} like ''{{w|E. coli}}'' and ''{{w|yeast}}'' were able to survive in 100% {{w|hydrogen gas}} as well as 100% {{w|helium gas}} atmosphere. ''Wikinews'' reached out to Dr Seager to discuss the findings of this study in which organisms thrived in an oxygen-less environment. The study reported the organisms were reproducing normally in both 100% H₂ and 100% He environment. However, the {{w|Sigmoid function|sigmoid}}-shaped {{w|Growth curve (biology)|growth curve}} was not on par with 100% air. ''E. coli'' and yeast switch from {{w|Cellular respiration|ærobic respiration}}, which uses oxygen, to {{w|Anaerobic respiration|anærobic respiration}} and {{w|fermentation}}. Both processes are less efficient and do not produce as much energy as ærobic respiration. "There's a diversity of habitable worlds out there, and we have confirmed that Earth-based life can survive in hydrogen-rich atmospheres. We should definitely add those kinds of planets to the menu of options when thinking of life on other worlds, and actually trying to find it", Professor Seager said. The research paper reported ''E. coli'' releases a number of gases when it lives in hydrogen-based atmosphere including {{w|ammonia}}, {{w|methanethiol}}, {{w|dimethylsulfide}}, {{w|carbonyl sulfide}}, {{w|carbonyl disulfide}} and {{w|nitrous oxide}}. These gases can serve as biosignature gases which can help astronomers detect and study potential life on exoplanets. {{HYS}} {{Publish}} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} [[Category:Original reporting]]

He was 100 years old. Carter was a former naval officer, farmer, and Georgia state politician whose long-shot candidacy resulted in him being elected the President of the United States in 1976. After serving a single term in office, Carter devoted himself to international aid and development, creating the {{w|Carter Center}} and working with many non-profits globally, including {{w|Habitat for Humanity}}. He is America's longest-lived president, the one with the longest post-presidency in his lifetime, and the only one to live to age&nbsp;100. His wife of 77 years, {{w|Rosalynn Carter}}, preceded him in death in late 2023. James Earl Carter, Jr. was born October&nbsp;1, 1924 in {{w|Plains, Georgia}}. After high school, Carter attended the {{w|United States Naval Academy}} and entered the Navy from 1948 to 1953, until the death of Carter's father led him back to the family farm. The younger Carter was able to turn the struggling farm into a successful business over the next decade. Carter served his local school board, where he became increasingly vocal in his opposition to racial segregation. In 1962, he decided to run for a seat in the {{w|Georgia State Senate}} and won after a two-week campaign and a fraudulent election that was redone without interference. After four years as a legislator, Carter unsuccessfully ran for governor. He won a 1971 campaign and set his sights on the presidency in 1976. <!--https://www.npr.org/2023/11/28/1215715714/rosalynn-carter-tribute-service-presidents-first-ladies--> 3txcgae5ripu569hv1jj5nszpd58zez 2 2980762 5024598 5024213 2026-05-04T00:01:39Z BOT-Superzerocool 18821 Bot: Updating Exchange Rates [[:es:User Talk:Superzerocool|Comments (es.wikinews)]] 5024598 wikitext text/x-wiki {{User:Angelicadia/Sandbox/Exchange Rates/core | date = 04 May, 2026 | hour= 00:00 | extrainfo= {{{extrainfo|}}} | align = {{{align}}} | width= {{{width|{{#if:{{{width|}}}|50%|35%}}}}}} | country= {{{country}}} | AUD = 1.62644 | USD = 1.172581 | JPY = 183.981991 | GBP = 0.86343 | CHF = 0.916108 | BRL = 5.813669 | CNY = 8.006674 | MXN = 20.461789 | HKD = 9.187151 | RUB = 87.918892 | INR = 111.290207 | CRC = 533.21414 | ARS = 1633.445543 | CLP = 1055.029531 | BOB = 8.104092 | COP = 4288.478818 | NIO = 43.045506 | PEN = 4.112831 | UYU = 46.773673 }}<noinclude></noinclude> sinhu76jwyqofs93c705jxmjqugsuuj 3 2991490 5024726 5023748 2026-05-04T03:18:07Z Lofi Gurl 2885970 /* You can still edit user pages and talk pages apparently */ new section 5024726 wikitext text/x-wiki {{User:MiszaBot/config |archive = User talk:BigKrow/Archive %(counter)d |algo = old(30d) |counter = 1 |maxarchivesize = 192K |minthreadstoarchive = 1 |minthreadsleft = 0 |archiveheader = {{talkarchivenav}} }} {{User:MiszaBot/config |archive = User talk:BigKrow/Archive %(counter)d |algo = old(30d) |counter = 1 |maxarchivesize = 192K |minthreadstoarchive = 1 |minthreadsleft = 0 |archiveheader = {{talkarchivenav}} }} {{Template:Welcome|realName=|name=BigKrow}} -- [[User:Wikinews Welcome|Wikinews Welcome]] ([[User talk:Wikinews Welcome|talk]]) 22:09, 9 December 2023 (UTC) :Thanks.

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. ---- This is an automated review notification.

While not a household name, the account is notable in Wikipedia history for being one of the early subjects of a Request for Arbitration (ArbCom), which is the site's highest level of dispute resolution. ::::::​Key Details and Wikipedia History ::::::​Active Period: The user was most active between 2004 and 2006. ::::::​Arbitration Case: In late 2005, a case was brought against Maoririder (formally titled Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Maoririder). The case centered on issues regarding behavioral standards and editing disputes. ::::::​Outcome: The Arbitration Committee eventually ordered mentorship for the user rather than an outright ban, a common practice at the time intended to help editors align with community norms. ::::::​Wikinews Involvement: The user was also an early contributor to Wikinews, participating in discussions and article edits during the platform's inaugural years (circa 2005). ::::::​Why the Name Appears in Research ::::::​If you are coming across this name in academic papers or legal journals (such as the Emory Law Journal), it is usually cited as a case study in online self-governance. Researchers often use the Maoririder arbitration case to illustrate how Wikipedia developed its internal "legal" system to handle conflict and enforce community policies without traditional corporate oversight. ::::::​Today, the account is largely inactive, and the user page serves mostly as a historical record of those early administrative proceedings.

An exhibition of works by [[Russia]]n photographer [[Viktor Pinchuk]] was held at the {{w|Genoese fortress, Sudak|Genoese Fortress Museum-Reserve}} in {{w|Sudak}}. It was timed to coincide with the annual "Night of Geography" event of the [[Russian Geographical Society]]. The exhibition was held in a digital format, which allowed an increase in the number of works on display, without transporting them to the exhibition. The author, who traveled to dozens of countries in [[Africa]], [[Asia]], [[Oceania]] and [[Latin America]], presented to the audience a collection of photographs taken at different times, all united by one theme. The exhibition is called {{Translation note|''The Ancient Pyramids of the World''|ru|Russian language|''Древнейшие пирамиды мира''}}. It contains images of archaeological monuments from [[Egypt]], [[Sudan]], [[Mexico]], [[Guatemala]], [[El Salvador]], [[Indonesia]], [[Cambodia]], [[Samoa]] and [[Peru]] &mdash; although the objects called "pyramids" in {{w|Túcume}} are of controversial origin). The author highlighted the once pyramid-shaped and now almost completely destroyed {{w|Pulemelei Mound}}. It is located in the impenetrable jungle of the Samoan island of {{w|Savai'i}}. It was visited by the Crimean wanderer, and is practically unknown outside a narrow circle of professional archaeologists. The "road" to it is so overgrown that it is impossible to get there without a guide. What visitors learned, according to the author of the exhibition, should encourage them to hit the road, or at least, pay more attention to the study of the historical and geographical objects of the planet. <gallery mode="packed" heights="200" style="margin:auto"> Древнейшие пирамиды мира, фотовыставка в Судаке (1).jpg|Opening remarks by a museum representative Древнейшие пирамиды мира,

The engineers from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT), in the [[United States]], published a paper about new and inexpensive battery-less solar desalination plant technology in the prestigious journal ''{{W|Nature (journal)|Nature}} Water''. To handle changes in electric current caused by weather variations, the new system involves adjusting desalination rates several times a second based on the detected changes in solar irradiance. {{missing image|File:MIT Desalination team.jpg|thumb|left|Jon Bessette, Shane Pratt, and Muriel McWhinnie (UROP) stand in front of the electrodialysis desalination system during an installation in July. {{image source|Shane Pratt}}}} The researchers had tested a prototype in Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility in {{W|Alamogordo}}, [[New Mexico]] for several months, showed capability to desalinate an average of 5,000 liters of water per day. The system is designed to process brackish {{W|groundwater}}, also known as {{W|brackish water}}, a type of groundwater that is more widespread, yet previously inaccessible due to technological limitations – an asset especially valuable in drought-affected regions inland which lack access to seawater, according to the report. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://news.mit.edu/2024/solar-powered-desalination-system-requires-no-extra-batteries-1008 |title = Solar-powered desalination system requires no extra batteries |author = Jennifer Chu |pub = MIT News |date = October 8, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1060320 |title = Solar-powered desalination system requires no extra batteries |author = Abby Abazorius |pub = Eurekalert |date = October 8, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s44221-024-00314-6 |title=Direct-drive photovoltaic electrodialysis via flow-commanded current control |date=October 8, 2024 |pub=Nature Water |author= Jonathan Tae-Yoon Bessette, Shane Richard Pratt, and Amos G.

Following the post election ballot count on Saturday, Trump secured 312 electoral votes after winning all key {{w|Swing state|swing states}}, while [[Kamala Harris]] received 226 votes. With this outcome, Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20. Trump's win was confirmed after he secured [[Wisconsin]], crossing the 270-vote threshold required in the Electoral College, which allocates 538 votes across the states and [[Washington, D.C.]] In addition to Wisconsin, Trump's victory was propelled by wins in key swing states like [[Michigan]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[Georgia]], [[North Carolina]], and [[Nevada]], which played critical roles in securing his lead. [[File:ElectoralCollege2024.svg|thumb|left|200px|Presidential election results map.

The Republican Party has also retained control of the [[United States Senate|Senate]], while results are still pending in the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]], where 218 seats are needed for a majority. In his victory speech, Trump expressed gratitude, saying, "I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president." He further acknowledged his supporters' dedication, adding, "We've been through so much together, and today you showed up in record numbers to deliver a victory." Kamala Harris, in her concession speech, accepted the results and pledged a peaceful transfer of power. She also promised to continue her advocacy on issues she championed. In addition to the presidential race, U.S. voters chose new members for Congress. Elections were held for 34 out of 100 seats in the Senate and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Voters in eleven states also elected new governors, and 44 states held elections for their state legislatures. {{haveyoursay}} {{clear}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/10/trump-wins-arizona-completing-sweep-of-all-seven-battleground-states-ap-reports |title = Trump wins Arizona to clinch sweep of seven battleground states |author = Amy Sedghi |pub = The Guardian |date = November 10, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/election-day-trump-harris-white-house-83c8e246ab97f5b97be45cdc156af4e2 |title = Trump wins the White House in a political comeback rooted in appeals to frustrated voters |author = Zeke Miller, Michelle L.

Eleven civilians were killed in the airstrikes. The strikes were launched by Israel in response to the firing of projectiles against Israeli forces by [[Hezbollah]]. The firing was the first Hezbollah attack on Israeli forces since the ceasefire agreement. Hezbollah claimed Israel themselves had violated the ceasefire agreement, and that their attacks were a warning shot because of this. Israel claims that Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire on several unspecified occasions. As of December 6, both sides have repeatedly accused the other of violating the ceasefire, and strikes by Israel have continued. The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has reportedly been violated on several occasions since November 28, two days after it came into effect. The ceasefire deal was first proposed by {{w|Amos Hochstein}}, a top official in the [[Joe Biden]] administration of the [[United States]]. On Sunday, November 25, it was announced that the proposal was pending an Israeli response. [[European Union]] foreign policy chief {{w|Josep Borrell}} said the proposal was waiting final approval by Israel. "We must pressure the Israeli government and maintain the pressure on Hezbollah to accept the US proposal for a ceasefire," he said in [[Beirut]] after meeting Lebanese officials. One day later, Israel and Hezbollah negotiated the ceasefire and it came into effect. However, on Thursday, November 28, Israel fired airstrikes in Lebanon, claiming that they were done in response to Hezbollah's activity in a rocket storage facility in southern Lebanon which allegedly breached the ceasefire. On the same day, the {{w|Lebanese Armed Forces|Lebanese Army}} alleged that Israel had violated the ceasefire by striking Lebanon with "various weapons" and continuing to surveil Lebanese skies with warplanes and drones. Israeli forces have said troops will be withdrawn gradually as they ensure that the ceasefire is being enforced. Israel has warned people repeatedly not to return to areas in which it retains a military presence, and says that it retains the right to strike Hezbollah if it violates the terms of the ceasefire. {{haveyoursay}} ==Sources== *{{source |url=https://thedefensepost.com/2024/12/06/israel-strikes-hezbollah-smuggling-routes/ |title=Israel says struck Hezbollah "smuggling routes" on Syria-Lebanon border |pub=The Defense Post |date=December 6, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241206112238/https://thedefensepost.com/2024/12/06/israel-strikes-hezbollah-smuggling-routes/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-palestinians-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon-strained-by-strikes/ |title=Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire in Lebanon tested by intensifying cross-border strikes as both sides claim breaches |pub=CBS News |date=December 3, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241204030704/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-palestinians-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon-strained-by-strikes/ }} *{{source |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-claims-of-violations-on-day-2-war-hamas-gaza/ |title=Israel and Hezbollah both claim ceasefire violations |pub=CBS News |date=November 28, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241203122351/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-claims-of-violations-on-day-2-war-hamas-gaza/ }} *{{source |url=https://theconversation.com/why-israel-and-hezbollah-reached-a-ceasefire-now-and-what-it-means-for-israel-lebanon-biden-and-trump-244700 |title=Why Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire now − and what it means for Israel, Lebanon, Biden, and Trump |author=Asher Kaufman |pub=The Conversation |date=November 27, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130062519/https://theconversation.com/why-israel-and-hezbollah-reached-a-ceasefire-now-and-what-it-means-for-israel-lebanon-biden-and-trump-244700 }} *{{source |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-25/lebanon-ceasefire-pending-israeli-response/104642856 |title=Lebanon ceasefire pending Israeli response after it carried out deadliest attack on Beirut |pub=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |date=November 25, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241125041713/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-25/lebanon-ceasefire-pending-israeli-response/104642856 }} *{{source |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/11/25/live-destruction-in-tel-aviv-beirut-amid-hezbollah-israel-missile-fire |title=Israel, Lebanon officials indicate ceasefire deal is close |author=Lyndal Rowlands, Zaheena Rasheed, Nils Adler, and Farah Najjar |pub=Al Jazeera |date=November 25, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241125135715/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/11/25/live-destruction-in-tel-aviv-beirut-amid-hezbollah-israel-missile-fire }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:Lebanon]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Archived-bot]]{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] pbznpkhoaiwsoy0lpxuuhojblwj01kt 14 3004467 5025110 4807626 2026-05-04T11:01:52Z Acagastya 1526439 Updating Month category using [[User:Asked42/QuickCat|QuickCat]] 5025110 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Monthcategory}} icxf9xk9faddndpbprptfb6ygd6r1cf 0 3004483 5024281 4853251 2026-05-03T14:49:35Z Acagastya 1526439 links 5024281 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|December 5, 2024}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau in the Oval Office - 2017.jpg|thumb|left|File photo of Prime Minister Trudeau and President Trump in 2017. {{Image|White House}}]] {{US politics}} On November 29, [[Canada|Canadian]] Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]] flew to {{w|Palm Beach}}, [[Florida]] to attend a private dinner at {{w|Mar-a-Lago}} with [[United States]] President-elect [[Donald Trump]], regarding Trump's threats to impose significant tariffs on Canadian goods. The meeting followed a phone call between Trump and Trudeau, which occurred on November 2, regarding Trump's plan to impose a 25% tariff on all goods imported from [[Mexico]] and Canada, which is a plan that Trudeau had previously criticized, saying that it would cause harm to "Canadians who work so well with the United States" while "raising prices for American citizens as well, and hurting American industry and businesses." Trump stated that this tariff "will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country!" Trudeau arrived at {{w|Palm Beach International Airport}} ahead of the meeting. Other attendees included [[North Dakota]] Governor and nominee for Secretary of the Interior {{w|Doug Burgum}}, businessman and nominee for Secretary of Commerce {{w|Howard Lutnick}}, and [[Pennsylvania]] Senator-elect {{w|David McCormick}}. The afternoon after the meeting, Trudeau stated that he and Trump had had an "excellent conversation." He later posted on [[Twitter|X, formerly known as Twitter]], a photograph of himself and Trump at a dining table, expressing hope for "the work we can do together, again." Trump posted on {{w|Truth Social}}, describing the meeting as "very productive," and that he and Trudeau had discussed "many important topics that will require both countries to work together to address," including the "{{w|fentanyl}} and drug crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of {{w|illegal immigration}}, fair trade deals that do not jeopardize American workers, and the massive {{w|Balance of trade|trade deficit}} the U.S. has with Canada." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/trudeau-trump-canada-tariffs-mexico-border-e0ee7f9b3dddc80d1260585c11869fff |title = Canada’s Trudeau returns home after Trump meeting without assurances that tariffs are off the table |author = Rob Gillies and Fatima Hussein |pub = Associated Press |date = November 30, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20241205091143/https://apnews.com/article/trudeau-trump-canada-tariffs-mexico-border-e0ee7f9b3dddc80d1260585c11869fff }} *{{source |url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/29/trump-justin-trudeau-canada-tariffs/76665581007/ |title = Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visits Trump for tariff talk |author = Josh Meyer |pub = USA Today |date = November 29, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20241203181413/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/29/trump-justin-trudeau-canada-tariffs/76665581007/ }} {{Archived-cc-2.5}} {{Published}} [[Category:Justin Trudeau]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Florida]] [[Category:Canada]] [[Category:Archived-bot]][[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] mj50k8vyj4u161jhtqk53gw7hgq6krx 0 3004659 5024320 4853213 2026-05-03T16:00:12Z Acagastya 1526439 time fmt, links 5024320 wikitext text/x-wiki {{South Korea}} {{date|December 8, 2024}} Late Tuesday night, in an unannounced speech on local TV at 11 pm local time (1400 {{w|UTC}}), {{w|Yoon Suk Yeol}}, the president of [[South Korea]], declared {{w|martial law}}. This allowed the military to control the country. The President cited local unrest caused by "anti-state forces" as the motivation. The military law was lifted 4:30 am Wednesday (1930 UTC on December 3). Thursday morning the {{w|National Assembly (South Korea)|National Assembly}} filed an impeachment motion to be voted on within 72 hours. President Yoon's speech attributed his decision to impose military law to the National Assembly initiating "22 motions to impeach government officials, and ... pushing for the impeachment of a tenth individual," seeking "to protect the Republic of Korea from the threats of [[North Korea]]n communist forces, to immediately eradicate the unscrupulous pro-[[Pyongyang]] antistate forces that pillage the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect free constitutional order." [[CNN]] reported that Yoon's decree of martial law prohibited all political activities. Lawmakers and demonstrators clashed with soldiers outside the National Assembly building. At around 1:00 am local time (1600 UTC on December 3), the National Assembly gathered to pass a resolution lifting martial law, voting 190–0. Around 4:30 am (1930 UTC on December 3), President Yoon officially announced that martial law was to be lifted as soon as a quorum of the cabinet were established. President Yoon continued to "request the National Assembly to immediately stop its reckless actions that paralyze the functions of the state through repeated impeachment, legislative manipulation, and budget manipulation." Shortly thereafter, the cabinet voted to lift martial law. {{w|Han Dong-hoon}}, the leader of the conservative {{w|People Power Party (South Korea)|People Power Party}}, of which President Yoon is a member, condemned the declaration, describing it as "wrong" and stating that he would join the opposition and "block it," according to CNN.

Been writing since I was way young. First short stories, then scripts for TV shows. Then I started drawing. Then I wanted to start learning code, but that didn't go anywhere. Then YouTube became a thing, and that is when I got into writing skits, complete with acting, video editing, and animating (including claymations!!!). I made animations using Microsoft Paint. I never learned Adobe Flash. I realized the other girls in school weren't into girls who stayed home and did YouTube all weekend, so when I was in 8th grade I started playing music. In highschool, I played a hell of a lot of Sonic, Halo and Zoo Tycoon. I also love Mario. I '''suffered''' through the English program in college and got my bachelor's degree when I was 25. That's about it. ==Lofi Gurl News== {{semi-retired}} I'm moving back in with my parents after New Years. They live way out in the boonies, and I won't have internet access for a while unfortunately. Maybe its for the best. My internet addiction has gotten so bad, and my userpages on various projects are getting "bloggish". I haven't really known what to do since I quit content creation, barhopping and copyediting professionally, and that's why I made an account and started grinding so hard on here. Nobody wants to hang out with a Wikinerd who hasn't showered or shaved, and going to the bar is literally so expensive. A penny saved is a penny earned! I'm going to edit sporadically from coffee shops and the library, after I move back in with the 'rents, but that's about it. I miss playing music so much. I played alot of pop punk, heavy metal and butt rock in high school, and then I had a somewhat-okay emo band in college, but that band broke up when we got too old. Since then, I've been trying to listen to everything and apply progressive elements to my music. I tend to use bittersweet melodies when I play, so I'm hoping that by listening to more heavy metal and punk and hardcore and math rock I can push the boundries of the stuff that I was listening to and playing when I was young. ===I lament the lack of writers here=== All I wanna do is write. There is just so much energy inside me that I don't know what to do with. I literally just sit at news websites, refreshing the homepage, just looking for something to write about. Sadly, there aren't enough people around here to review my work. I actually just nuked a bunch of my articles that were in development hell, and some others that were waiting for review. I spliced the useful parts and was able to expand some Wikipedia articles by alot. They told me at an early age that I would be a famous writer, and that I would make an impact on the world. I feel my writing makes more of an impact on Wikipedia because it's like of like, immortalized? I guess you can say the same thing about the news articles that I have contributed here, because news articles are snapshots in time. But yeah, we don't have enough editors here for most articles to not end up being wasted efforts. Sad. ===I sob for the future=== Most of the sources I use for articles... aren't even ''that'' good or well written. I feel like I am able to do a better critical analysis than them? (?!) I can even see the obvious bias in each and every one of them. The press in this country is a joke. That George Stepapopolus story is proof of it. Coworkers make fun of me for my recent liking to writing on here, denouncing it a "weird hobby". One of them even gave me a hard time for doing all this work for free. But I do it for my own self-satisfaction, and because the world ''needs'' news like this. It's a shame there aren't more people around here. ===I'm spiraling=== I feel completely lost in life and I regret every decision I have ever made and I have nothing to show for the life that I have lived and I feel like I'm losing it... I quit therapy and resolved to lock myself away in my room and write articles till I die. All I want is to give meaning to my suffering ===something stupid me and my friend thought of today while downing shots..=== I'm starting this elite society at my local coffee shop called "''the Wikinews Speedwriters''". I am going to vet them, I am going to train them, and we are going to be a lean-mean newswriting machine! I've been honing my speedwriting technique over the past couple weeks but I'm interested in taking it to a new level. We are going to be a multimedia news team. Photo, audio, video, text, and everything inbetween. Interviews, deep analysis, opinions, quotes. '''''Get ready''''' I just quit content creation after like four years. I did Twitch streaming, YouTube, OnlyFans and blogging. I'm done with all that though. I'm trying to focus all that energy onto here now, where I can actually make a difference. When I worked for that awful company, I could only write about what they wanted me to write about. I had to write Buzzfeed-style articles... yeah, I didn't really enjoy that, but it paid my bills for my first few years out of college. My loyalties lie with the free press, the scientific method and neutral point of view. I'll probably never be a music journalist or a record producer or a touring musician like I had made all those highschool business class projects about way back when.. I have just found that I enjoy editing on here and on Wikipedia, with a picture of the New York skyline up on my TV screen nearby, so I can make beleive I was good enough to get hired at a firm that has an office in a Manhatten high-rise.. but a girl can dream right? Nowadays I just work in bars and restaurants and do lawn care for a living. I'm getting old. I'm at something of a crossroads at this time in my life, and I have been dwelling on my desisions that have left me with crippling debt, destroyed relationships, health problems.. the list goes on. You want my opinion on it? Not worth it!! Come along and watch me dig myself out of a hole. ===current status=== {{wikibreak}} I plan to help with revisions on the articles in the review que, but I'm taking a break from starting new ones. I like writing "Musical style" sections on musician articles on Wikipedia, I'm going to focus on that.

Approximately 50 world leaders attended the grand reopening event, which was taking place over the course of the weekend, and would emphasize the {{w|List of sculptures in Notre-Dame de Paris|art}}, culture and history of the cathedral.

The world finds the cathedral rebuilt and we must keep like a treasure the lesson of fragility, humility and willingness. Tonight we share the joy and the pride." The ceremony was originally intended to be held outside, but was moved indoors due to suboptimal weather conditions. {{w|Notre-Dame de Paris|Construction of the cathedral|anchor=Construction}} was completed in the year 1345. The {{w|Notre-Dame fire|reconstruction process|anchor=Reconstruction}} following the fire required the work of 1200 artisans.

Bragg contended that Mangione carried out the attack with the intent to "sow terror." A {{w|post-9/11}} law in New York State allowed prosecutors to pursue terrorism charges if the defendant "intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping." Mangione's lawyer did not comment on that matter. However, he contended that he had yet to see evidence that would tie his defendant's weapon to Thompson's killing. Mangione faced two additional counts of {{w|second-degree murder}}. Mangione was held at {{w|State Correctional Institution Huntingdon}}, in {{w|Huntingdon, Pennsylvania|Huntingdon}}, [[Pennsylvania]] under {{w|maximum security}} without bail. He faces the potential penalty of {{w|life in prison}} with no parole for the murder. A court hearing was scheduled for December 19, that would decide whether Mangione would face {{w|extradition}} to New York for the murder charges. This is the same day as Mangione's preliminary hearing for gun charges in Pennsylvania. Local police arrested Mangione at a [[McDonald's]] in {{w|Altoona}}, Pennsylvania, on December 9, after an employee recognized and reported him. Police arrived and questioned Mangione, and said that he became "visibly nervous" and started shaking when asked if he had been to New York recently, [[CBS News]] reported. The authorities charged Luigi Mangione with "carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities and possessing instruments of crime," Australia's [[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]] reported. Police mentioned that he was found in possession of a "{{w|ghost gun}}" and a silencer that was consistent with the one used to slay Thompson, ABC News reported. He was also found in possession of fake IDs that were consistent with the ones he used while staying at a hostel in Manhattan, CBS News reported. The suspect was found carrying a large sum of cash, some of which was foreign currency, [[BBC News Online]] reported. Authorities noted the suspect had a handwritten note about health insurance companies supposedly prioritising profits over customer care. CBS News reported that the {{w|New York Police Department}} (NYPD) clarified Mangione was never a UnitedHealthcare client and officials suggested he targeted Thompson because of the company's significant size and influence. New York Police Commissioner {{w|Jessica Tisch}} was quoted saying "any attempt to rationalize this is vile, reckless and offensive to our deeply held principles of justice." Mangione was originally from [[Maryland]]. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny recounted that prior to Mangione's arrest, his mother, who had reported her son missing on November 18, told the [[FBI]] that the murder "might be something that she could see him doing." {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing-luigi-mangione-fccc9e875e976b9901a122bc15669425 |title = Suspect in UnitedHealthcare's CEO killing charged with murder as an act of terrorism |author = Jake Offenhartz, Jennifer Peltz |pub = The Associated Press |date = December 17, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3rq479z44do |title = Luigi Mangione faces first-degree murder charge in death of healthcare CEO |author = Brandon Drenon, Holly Honderich |pub = BBC News Online |date = December 17, 2024 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2zwqqr1ro |title = Luigi Mangione charged with murdering healthcare CEO in New York |author = Jessica Parker, Jude Sheerin |pub = BBC News Online |date = December 11, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20241210061237/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2zwqqr1ro }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/luigi-mangione-healthcare-ceo-shooting-what-we-know/ |pub = CBS News |date = December 11, 2024 |title = What we know about Luigi Mangione, suspect charged in UnitedHealthcare CEO's killing |author =Alex Sundby, John Doyle, Layla Ferris, Laura Doan, Emma Li, Kerry Breen }} *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-10/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-ceo-new-york-killing-suspect/104705602 |title = Suspect in custody after New York killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson |author = Brad Ryan |pub = ABC News (Australia) |date = December 10, 2024 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20241210004109/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-10/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-ceo-new-york-killing-suspect/104705602 }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/unitedhealthcare-suspect-ceo-assassin-shooter-b5ff640798d799271ddd8db9f3d2a20e |title = A timeline of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and search for his killer |author = Michael R.

Countries coloured red enforce a ban on the app for all citizens, and those coloured blue have it banned on government devices. {{image|[[c:User:A09|A09]]}}]] The lawyer of [[United States]] president-elect [[Donald Trump]] urged the [[US Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] Friday to pause enforcement of a law which could ban {{w|TikTok}} to enable him "...to pursue a political resolution". In an ''{{w|amicus curiae}}'' brief, {{w|D. John Sauer}}, whom Trump has tapped as his nominee for solicitor general, wrote the president-elect "respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case". In April, [[US Congress]] passed, and President [[Joe Biden]] signed, a bipartisan measure which would force TikTok's [[China|Chinese]] parent company {{w|ByteDance}} to either sell the popular social media app to an American company or face an effective ban on its use in the US 270 days after passage. As no potential buyer has materialised, a ban on TikTok's distribution in US {{w|app stores}} and {{w|internet service providers}} is set to enter effect on January 19, one day before Trump's inauguration. Since then, TikTok has lodged multiple unsuccessful lawsuits against the {{w|Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act}}, arguing that it violates the {{w|Freedom of speech in the United States|right to free speech}} granted in the {{w|First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment}} to the [[Constitution of the United States|US Constitution]]. Last Wednesday, the nation's top court agreed to hear an appeal on an unusually expedited schedule, with oral arguments to begin January 10. However, it refused TikTok's request to issue an emergency injunction, leaving just over a week for justices to issue a ruling. In its own filing, the {{w|United States Department of Justice|US Justice Department}} argued the law was specifically written to target national security threats associated with "foreign-adversary control of TikTok: namely, the collection of sensitive data of U.S. persons and malign foreign influence of the platform targeting U.S. persons", and "at most incidentally burdens protected speech." The Biden administration warned that China, "...could covertly manipulate the platform to advance its geopolitical interests and harm the United States — by, for example, sowing discord and disinformation during a crisis." Another supportive brief by 22 state attorneys general, led by [[Montana]]'s {{w|Austin Knudsen}} and [[Virginia]]'s {{w|Jason Miyares}}, added that due to TikTok's "core technology and infrastructure" being ultimately controlled by the {{w|Chinese Communist Party}} (CCP), it may allow the Party "to track the realtime locations of public officials, journalists, and other individuals adverse to the Chinese Communist Party’s interests." However, TikTok has argued that it has worked to address the Justice Department's concerns, stating its user data was stored in US data servers managed by [[Texas]]-based [[Oracle Corporation]], and that it makes all content moderation decisions which affect American users in the US. The company also criticised how the Act was passed through Congress based upon "flawed and hypothetical information", "[history] and precedent teach that, even when national security is at stake, speech bans must be Congress’s last resort." Free speech organisations supporting TikTok in briefs compared the Act with those passed by dictatorships, with the Knight First Amendment Institute at [[Columbia University]] arguing: "Restricting access to foreign media to protect against purported foreign manipulation is a practice that has long been associated with repressive regimes [...] The government has no legitimate interest in banning Americans from accessing foreign speech — even if the speech comprises foreign propaganda or reflects foreign manipulation." The Chinese government itself has also consistently denied allegations that the app threatens US security. Earlier this month, the {{w|United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit|federal appeals court}} for [[Washington, D.C.]] ruled the government had presented "persuasive evidence" of the law's narrow focus. However, a brief headlined by the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] argued the three-justice panel was too generous with the Act, which "triggers and fails the most exacting scrutiny under the First Amendment." Though Trump's brief, his first since winning the presidential election in November, remains neutral "on the underlying merits of this dispute", it maintains he "opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture". This is a shift from Trump's hawkish position in 2020, when he signed an executive order banning it and other apps like {{w|WeChat}} and {{w|AliPay}}, which got tied up in legal disputes and ultimately was revoked by Biden in June 2021 in favour of a formal investigation. Since then, however, Trump has said he has a "warm spot in my heart for TikTok", and credited the app with his increased popularity among youth voters, including falsely claiming a majority had voted for him in the November election. In June, Trump's campaign created a TikTok account that within days dwarfed the follower and like count of the account of then-opponent Biden. [[CNN]] has also reported that Trump met with TikTok CEO {{w|Shou Zi Chew}} this month hours after making those complimentary remarks, and that Chew further spoke with Trump Friday evening after the brief was filed. Sauer's text mentions that "President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the Government". However, the law's "unfortunate timing [January 19 deadline] interferes with President Trump’s ability to manage the United States' foreign policy and to pursue a resolution to both protect national security and save a social-media platform that provides a popular vehicle for 170 million Americans to exercise their core First Amendment rights." Therefore, by affording Trump the time to liaise with lawmakers, the Court may "obviate the need [...] to decide the historically challenging First Amendment question". However, the ban has support from politicians of both parties, including both the chair and ranking member of the {{w|United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party|House Select Committee on the CCP}}, and members of Trump's first administration, such as former Vice President [[Mike Pence]], attorney general [[Jeff Sessions]] and {{w|Federal Communications Commission}} chair {{w|Ajit Pai}}. Both sides have until Friday to reply to the other's brief. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news== *{{wikinews|Court ruling upholds TikTok ban unless ByteDance sells stake|December 7, 2024}} *{{wikinews|Trump wins 2024 U.S. presidential election, securing 312 electoral votes and all swing states|November 12, 2024}} == Sister links == {{sisters|w|Donald Trump–TikTok controversy}} {{sisters|w|Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act}} {{sisters|w|TikTok v.

The eruption killed 22 visitors and injured 25 others. The court ruled that WML only owned the land the volcano sits on and was not responsible for visitor safety. High Court Justice Moore stated that while WML contracted tour operators to conduct tours of the island, the language in the agreements did not make WML liable for such incidents on the island. The Buttle family welcomed the judge's decision, according to their lawyer, who also stated the decision would "bring certainty for all landowners who grant others recreational access to their land." In the original 2023 trial, survivors testified that they were not warned about the potential dangers before the eruption. They also stated that they were not given protective equipment, and that their burns were exacerbated by their clothing. Most of the victims were American and Australian tourists and tour staff. {{w|Whakaari / White Island|White Island}}, [[New Zealand]]'s most active [[volcano]], showed increased activity in the weeks before the 2019 eruption. At the time, it was under an 'Alert Level 2' status, indicating "moderate to heightened volcanic unrest." Concluding the 2023 trial, the court fined WML {{w|NZ$}}1.045 million and ordered another NZ$4.88 million be paid in restitutions to the victims. High Court Justice Moore said, "It is impossible not to be deeply moved and affected by the sheer scale and nature of the human loss in this case." {{haveyoursay|Do you think its ''whacky'' that individuals can own entire islands?}} ==Sister links== {{sisters|w|2019 Whakaari / White Island eruption}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80yynv0jjpo |title = Volcano owners' conviction over deadly eruption thrown out |author = Kathryn Armstrong |pub = BBC News |date = February 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250301143446/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80yynv0jjpo }} *{{source |url = https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/02/28/New-Zeland-volcano-High-Court-Whakaari/5021740755419/ |title = New Zealand drops conviction against Whakaari/White Island volcano management |author = Clyde Hughes |pub = UPI |date = February 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250301205644/https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/02/28/New-Zeland-volcano-High-Court-Whakaari/5021740755419/ }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/whakaari-white-island-zealand-volcano-overturned-tourism-df8826fd5d792402848a2f3561446ce2 |date = February 28, 2025 |pub = Associated Press |title = Judge overthrows conviction of owners of New Zealand island where 22 died in volcanic eruption |author = Charlotte Graham-McLay |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250304113322/https://apnews.com/article/whakaari-white-island-zealand-volcano-overturned-tourism-df8826fd5d792402848a2f3561446ce2 }} [[Category:Wackynews]] [[Category:New Zealand]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Geology]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] q5ukpz15akm9jls7zx123oy6hj0ehb5 0 3009811 5024292 4853170 2026-05-03T15:26:11Z Acagastya 1526439 link 5024292 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 3, 2025}} {{Politics and conflicts}} [[File:Senator Rick Scott, United States Senate Committee on Armed Services.png|thumb|left|alt=Screen capture from full hearing recording|Senator Rick Scott displays a picture of the USS ''Dewey'' during a recent stopover in Singapore at Secretary of the Navy nominee John Phelan confirmation hearing. {{image|United States Senate Committee on Armed Services}}]] {{w|John Phelan (businessman)|John Phelan}}, the nominee for [[United States]] Secretary of the Navy, presented his plans to address maintenance shortfalls, shipbuilding delays, and personnel challenges within the Navy during his Senate {{w|United States congressional hearing|confirmation hearing}} on Thursday. Speaking before the {{w|Senate Armed Services Committee}} in [[Washington, D.C.]], Phelan emphasized the need for significant reforms to improve fleet readiness, tackle cost overruns, and enhance living conditions for sailors. His nomination has drawn scrutiny due to his lack of military experience. During John Phelan's recent Senate confirmation hearing for the position of Secretary of the Navy, Senator {{w|Rick Scott}} presented a photograph of the {{w|USS Dewey (DDG-105)|USS ''Dewey'' (DDG-105)}} displaying significant rust during a port visit to [[Singapore]]. Scott used the image to highlight maintenance concerns within the Navy, an issue Phelan acknowledged as part of broader systemic challenges. "The U.S. Navy is at a crossroads, with extended deployments, inadequate maintenance, huge cost overruns, delayed shipbuilding, failed audits, subpar housing, and, sadly, record-high suicide rates ... these are systemic failures that have gone unaddressed for far too long. Frankly, this is unacceptable," he said. Critics of John Phelan's nomination have expressed concerns primarily centered around his lack of military experience and potential challenges in navigating the complexities of the {{w|United States Department of the Navy|Department of the Navy}}. Phelan's background is rooted in business and finance, with no prior service in the armed forces. This absence of military experience has raised questions about his preparedness to lead a branch as complex as the Navy. Stacie Pettyjohn, director of the defense program at the {{w|think tank}} {{w|Center for a New American Security}} said "It will be difficult for anyone without experience in the Pentagon to take over the leadership of a service and do a good job. Services are sprawling organizations with distinct cultures, subcultures and bureaucratic interests, and where decisions are made through many formal processes. To change a service's plans, one must understand this Byzantine landscape." Supporters of John Phelan's nomination argue that his business acumen makes him well-suited to address the Navy’s logistical and industrial challenges. Armed Services Committee Chairman Senator {{w|Roger Wicker}} highlighted challenges in the Navy’s shipbuilding efforts, stating, "If we threw a zillion dollars at the Department of the Navy today, we couldn't build the ships because we don't have the industrial base. We've got to fix that. And I think that's why the president looked to an entrepreneur and an experienced business person." The Senate Armed Services Committee will next decide whether to advance Phelan’s nomination to a full Senate vote. If approved by the committee, the Senate will then debate and vote on his confirmation as Secretary of the Navy. A simple majority is required for confirmation. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.businessinsider.com/how-trumps-pick-lead-us-navy-wants-fix-shipbuilding-problem-2025-2 |title = Here's how Trump's pick to lead the US Navy wants to fix the submarine shipbuilding problem |author = Chris Panella |pub = Business Insider |date = February 27, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250302163445/https://www.businessinsider.com/how-trumps-pick-lead-us-navy-wants-fix-shipbuilding-problem-2025-2 }} *{{source |url = https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/02/27/Navy-secretary-hearing-john-phelan/7801740688454/ |title = Navy secretary nominee John Phelan grilled by Senate Armed Services Committee Democrats |author = Micah Sandy, Medill News Service |pub = UPI |date = February 27, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.navytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2025/02/27/navy-secretary-nominee-blasts-systemic-failures-plaguing-the-fleet/ |title = Navy secretary nominee blasts ‘systemic failures’ plaguing the fleet |author = Leo Shane III |pub = Navy Times |date = February 27, 2025 |archiveurl = |medium = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/trump-navy-secretary-nominee-phelan-3b36a03a837684370f494a116cea183c |title = Trump turns to outsider to shake up Navy, but his lack of military experience raises concerns |author = Tara Copp |pub = Associated Press |date = February 27, 2025 |archiveurl = |medium = }} [[Category:US Congress]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Washington, D.C.]] [[Category:Michael.C.Wright (Wikinewsie)]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 3m6jagxq61b4ps8rikx6snurl4zx2oa 0 3009943 5024293 4853172 2026-05-03T15:27:58Z Acagastya 1526439 link, source indent 5024293 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 4, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Europe}} [[File:2025 Christian Stocker (54362633314) (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Christian Stocker in 2025. {{image source|BMEIA/ Michael Gruber}}]] The {{W|Austrian People's Party}} (ÖVP), the {{W|Social Democratic Party of Austria|Social Democratic Party}} (SPÖ) and the liberal {{W|NEOS (Austria)|New Austria and Liberal Forum (NEOS) party}} have approved a plan for a triple coalition to form a government after elections in September 2024. The NEOS party were the last to accept the plan for their government, having approved it with a vote share above 94% of the membership this Sunday. New chancellor {{W|Christian Stocker}} was sworn in on Monday along with most members of the cabinet. The new cabinet has 14 members: 5 ministers and the chancellor from center-right ÖVP, 6 ministers from center-left SPÖ, and 2 from liberal NEOS. The NEOS party meeting to approve the three-party coalition, held in hybrid format in [[Vienna]] on Sunday, included about 2,000 members of the party. Following the meeting, the NEOS leader {{W|Beate Meinl-Reisinger}} said the decision supported liberal democracy. The government formation process was a long and difficult one, taking 155 days, the longest such timespan in the history of Austria. Because of the exclusion of the far-right {{W|Freedom Party of Austria|Freedom Party (FPÖ)}} from the political mainstream, president {{W|Alexander Van der Bellen}} entrusted the ÖVP with the first round of coalition talks after the election, however, the talks collapsed, giving the FPÖ a chance to form the modern Austrian republic's far-right government. FPÖ–ÖVP talks also failed, far-right politics proving unacceptable for the more moderate ÖVP. Today's triple coalition thus averts new elections. The deal marks the first time NEOS is included in national government of [[Austria]]. {{haveyoursay}} {{clear}} == Sources == <!-- PAYWALLED *{{source|url=https://www.derstandard.at/jetzt/livebericht/3000000259591/angelobung-live-neue-regierung-abbei-van-der-bellen?responsive=false |title=Österreich hat eine neue Bundesregierung |author=Martin Tschiderer, Elisa Tomaselli |pub=Der Standard |date=March 3, 2025}}--> *{{source |url = https://www.dw.com/en/austrias-3-way-coalition-gets-final-vote-of-approval/a-71799945 |title = Austria's 3-way coalition gets final vote of approval |author = Nik Martin |pub = Deutsche Welle |date = March 3, 2025 }} *{{source |url = https://444.hu/2025/03/03/beiktattak-az-osztrak-kormanyt-christian-stocker-az-uj-kancellar |title = Beiktatták az osztrák kormányt, Christian Stocker az új kancellár |author = Kristóf Molnár |pub = 444.hu |date = March 3, 2025 }} {{Publish}} [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Austria]] [[Category:Europe]]{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 7r5dpn6wuzlttyqnicqzhmzfa4q1jtw 0 3009980 5024279 4853255 2026-05-03T14:47:53Z Acagastya 1526439 links 5024279 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 5, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine}} The [[United States]] paused all future and ongoing military aid packages to [[Ukraine]] immediately, the [[US White House|White House]] announced on Tuesday. {{w|Jason Miller (government official)|Jason Miller}}, a senior adviser to [[Donald Trump]], told [[CNN]] the decision was intended to prompt Ukraine to engage in negotiations with [[Russia]].

On his {{w|Truth Social}} platform, Trump demanded that the hostages be released "now, not later," and that the bodies of dead hostages be returned immediately, and threatened that if they did not, it is "over" for them. Trump referred to Hamas as "sick and twisted" for keeping the bodies of dead hostages. The organization has been at war with [[Israel]] since October 2023, when Hamas led an attack on Israel which resulted in the capture of at least 250 people in Israel during the attack. In January, the two parties both agreed to a ceasefire proposal, though the circumstances of the ceasefire are currently being disputed. US officials have confirmed that the US government has been communicating with Hamas, abandoning a long-established US policy of not directly communicating with the organisation. Since the US' classification of Hamas as a terrorist organisation in 1997, it is the first confirmed direct communication between the US government and Hamas. {{w|Karoline Leavitt}}, the press secretary of the [[US White House|White House]], refused to elaborate on the talks, though noted that Trump had allowed his officials to communicate with anyone. Leavitt stated, "[l]ook, dialogue and talking to people around the world to do what's in the best interest of the American people is something that the president ... believes is a good-faith effort to do what's right for the American people." According to Leavitt, Israel had been alerted regarding the talks. {{Haveyoursay}} ==Sources== *{{source |url = https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-gives-hamas-last-warning-over-hostages-as-secret-talks-revealed/ui0x2vrb6 |title = Donald Trump gives Hamas 'last warning' over hostages as secret talks revealed |pub = SBS News |date = March 6, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250306114710/https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-gives-hamas-last-warning-over-hostages-as-secret-talks-revealed/ui0x2vrb6 |author = Australian Associated Press }} *{{source |url = https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/05/trump-issues-last-warning-for-hamas-to-release-hostages-amid-surprise-negotiations-with-group-hell-to-pay/ |title = Trump issues "last warning" for Hamas to release hostages amid surprise negotiations with group: "Hell to pay" |author = Antonio Pequeño IV |pub = Forbes |date = March 5, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250305235354/https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/05/trump-issues-last-warning-for-hamas-to-release-hostages-amid-surprise-negotiations-with-group-hell-to-pay/ }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgz7p85mdgo |title = Gaza ceasefire in peril as Israel and Hamas hit impasse |author = Lyse Doucet |pub = BBC News |date = March 3, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250303162105/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgz7p85mdgo }} *{{source |url = https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-838033 |title = Government approves the hostage deal after seven hours of deliberation |pub = The Jerusalem Post |date = January 17, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250212224032/https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-838033 }} *{{source |url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/16/israeli-hostages-hamas-gaza |title = Hamas says 250 people held hostage in Gaza |author = Harriet Sherwood |pub = The Guardian |date = October 17, 2023 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20241221005236/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/16/israeli-hostages-hamas-gaza }} [[Category:Israel]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:North America]] [[Category:Middle East]] [[Category:Israel/Palestine Conflict]] [[Category:Donald Trump]] [[Category:Palestine]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] 7jabmsydhnsxca8cdv84x8d5vvfqazg 0 3010320 5024304 4853180 2026-05-03T15:34:29Z Acagastya 1526439 links 5024304 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 10, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Prime Minister Of Bharat Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi with Shri Rohit Gurunath Sharma (Cropped).jpg|thumb|left|200px|India's captain, Rohit Sharma scored the most runs for India in the final {{image|Prime Minister Office, India}}]] {{cricket}} On March 9, at the {{W|Dubai International Cricket Stadium}}, [[India]] defeated [[New Zealand]] by four wickets to win the {{W|2025 ICC Champions Trophy|2025 Champions Trophy}}.

The measure, which mandates permits for firearm purchases and restricts magazine capacity to ten rounds, remains on hold as opponents indicate plans to appeal to the {{w|Oregon Supreme Court}}. The appellate court's decision reverses a 2023 ruling by Harney County Circuit Judge Robert S. Raschio, who had found Measure 114 unconstitutional under Oregon's right to bear arms. The law, passed by voters in 2022, remains blocked from enforcement pending further appeals. Tony Aiello Jr., representing Oregon gun owners who filed the lawsuit challenging Measure 114, vowed to take the case to the Oregon Supreme Court. Attorney General {{w|Dan Rayfield}} praised the ruling as a victory for public safety, while the Oregon Senate Republican Caucus stated that the measure infringes on constitutional rights and imposes excessive barriers to gun ownership. Measure 114, approved by Oregon voters in November 2022 with 50.6% of the vote, introduces additional firearm regulations in the state. The law requires individuals to obtain a permit before purchasing firearms, mandates successful completion of a gun safety course and a background check, and bans the sale of magazines holding more than ten rounds. Despite its approval by voters in a referendum, the measure has faced legal challenges that have delayed its implementation. A separate federal lawsuit challenging {{w|Oregon Ballot Measure 114|Measure 114}} is still under review by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == *{{wikinews|U.S. federal judge upholds Oregon Ballot Measure 114 gun permit requirement, magazine regulations|July 20, 2023}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/oregon-appeals-court-rules-measure-114-constitutional-lfits-hold/283-f4b1adf3-08fc-4c65-91f9-d30fefb2120a |title = Appeals court rules Measure 114 is constitutional, lifts hold: 'Oregonians voted for this' |author = Anthony Macuk, Jared Cowley, Celine Stevens |pub = KGW |date = March 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/gun-control-law-oregon-measure-114-34375d8bb5059cc236a67c7f1b99a196 |title = Oregon appeals court says voter-approved gun law is constitutional, reversing lower court ruling |author = |pub = Associated Press |date = March 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.axios.com/local/portland/2025/03/12/oregon-gun-law-measure-114-upheld |title = Oregon's controversial gun law upheld for now |author = Meira Gebel |pub = Axios |date = March 12, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:North America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Oregon]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:Gun politics]] [[Category:Constitution of the United States]] [[Category:Michael.C.Wright (Wikinewsie)]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] sohrpvm4y5is28bgyk2ul6ydc7iyet9 0 3010991 5024261 4853319 2026-05-03T14:24:28Z Acagastya 1526439 local links 5024261 wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|March 24, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah Namibia's Deputy Prime Minister (cropped).jpg|thumb|200px|right|Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah on May 31, 2022 {{image|World Intellectual Property Organization}} ]] {{w|Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah}}, 72, former vice president of [[Namibia]], was sworn in as Namibia's first female president on Friday. She won the {{W|2024 Namibian general electio|presidential election in November 2024}} as the candidate of the ruling {{w|SWAPO|South West Africa People's Organisation}} (SWAPO). SWAPO secured 53% of the parliamentary vote in the election, winning 51 out of 91 seats. The opposition party, {{W|Independent Patriots for Change}} (IPC), secured 20 seats. Nandi-Ndaitwah became the second woman to hold a presidential position in [[Africa]]. Dignitaries from across the continent were present at her inauguration, among them seven sitting African presidents and nine former heads of state. According to a [[BBC]] article, Namibia's unemployment rate rose to 36.9% in 2023. She emphasized the need for economic diversification to generate employment, noting it would "create jobs to take care of the unemployed, of which the majority are the youth." In her inaugural address, she stated, "We are going to increase investments in the agriculture sector to boost output and meet domestic food requirements." A veteran politician and long-time SWAPO member, Nandi-Ndaitwah joined the party at the age of 14 during Namibia's liberation movement and went into exile in 1973 to join the movement. SWAPO member Henning Melber voiced concern that the party had yet to fill the vice-presidency left vacant by Nandi-Ndaitwah during her presidential bid. MP Tobie Aupindi said the vacancy would remain until the party's next regular congress in 2027. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://issafrica.org/iss-today/namibia-s-first-woman-president-takes-the-helm |title = Namibia’s first woman president takes the helm |author = Peter Fabricius |pub = ISS Africa |date = March 21, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250324155447/https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/namibias-new-president-vows-diversify-economy-tackle-joblessness-2025-03-21/https://web.archive.org/web/20250322015906/https://issafrica.org/iss-today/namibia-s-first-woman-president-takes-the-helm }} *{{source |url = https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/namibias-new-president-vows-diversify-economy-tackle-joblessness-2025-03-21/ |title = Namibia's new president vows to diversify economy, tackle joblessness |author = Nyasha Nyaungwa |pub = Rauters |date = March 21, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly8ln5g12wo |title = Namibia swears in first female president |author = |pub = BBC |date = March 21, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250322030317/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly8ln5g12wo }} [[Category:Namibia]] [[Category:Africa]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] gv0gomftstf0p4le6gr642vxx8pqve8 0 3011149 5024313 4853196 2026-05-03T15:52:17Z Acagastya 1526439 links 5024313 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Australia}} {{date|March 31, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> In decision announced by [[Queensland]] Premier {{w|David Crisafulli}} on Tuesday, [[Brisbane]]'s {{w|The Gabba}} stadium is now scheduled to be replaced by a new stadium located on the north side of the {{w|Brisbane River}}. The yet to be named stadium is due to be the main stadium for the {{w|2032 Summer Olympics|2032 Olympics}} as well as international cricket and top level [[Australian rules football]], both currently hosted at the Gabba. {{w|Queensland Cricket}}, Chief Executive Officer, {{w|Terry Svenson}} welcomed the decision of the state government. "Queensland Cricket congratulates the {{w|Queensland Government}} on its decision to invest in the State's future, with a world-class stadium that will be a centrepiece of Brisbane for 2032 and beyond," Svenson said. "The Gabba has been wonderful venue for cricket for many years and has provided fans and players with countless memories – however the challenges the stadium faces are well documented, and we need to look to the future. There is now the opportunity for Queensland to attract the world's best [[cricket]] events, such as {{w|International Cricket Council|ICC}} events, men's and women's {{w|Ashes Series}}, the {{w|Border-Gavaskar Trophy}} series between [[Australia]] and [[India]], as well has hosting the {{w|BBL}} and {{w|WBBL}} in a new purpose-built stadium." The {{w|Brisbane Lions}} are the [[Australian Football League]] premiers. Their CEO Greg Swann was equally as welcoming. "The Gabba has been a great home for the past 30 years, but the city has outgrown it, the Lions have outgrown it, and the venue is reaching its end of life," Swann said. "The [[Olympics]] and [[Paralympics]] presents an opportunity to deliver a venue that will serve the City and State's growing population, not just for the Games, but for the next 50 years. Between now and the Olympics nearly 4 million Queensland sports fans will visit the Gabba for either a Lions or cricket match, with each event creating job and economic opportunities and ensuring our local events industry is equipped and skilled to deliver the Games. We need all stakeholders to unite behind 2032 so we can get on with delivering the venues needed to host a great Games and critical infrastructure for decades to come." Former Queensland Premier {{w|Campbell Newman}} was amongst a group that opposed the potential loss of green space at the {{w|Victoria Park, Brisbane|Victoria Park}} site. “It is not only the stadium, but now we’re getting the swimmers talking about putting a swimming venue in the park as well. And this is what happens. These people really have to look at their own words,” Newman told {{w|Fox Sports News}}. “One minute they’re saying it’s only going to take up x-percent of the Park. The next minute, within a few breaths, they’re talking about putting the swimming in there as well. And that’s how it goes (and soon) you have no park.” Those opposed to the new stadium site seem likely to challenge the decision in court according to Fox Sports News. <!--- further svensen comments --- "Thirty years ago this week, the Gabba was in the very early stages of its major redevelopment as the historic Sheffield Shield Final was being played, with many ensuing highlights following in the past three decades. "Today's decision gives us certainty after many years without clarity. We now stand at the starting line as Queensland prepares to unveil a signature stadium that will be known the world over. "We look forward to working with Government at all levels and our colleagues at the Brisbane Lions to make this a reality." --- end further svensen comments ---> {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-At05KhGptQ |title = Years of speculation ends with location for 2032 Olympics stadium finally revealed | 7NEWS |author = |pub = 7News Australia |date = March 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-25/brisbane-olympics-olympic-games-2032-stadium-premier-plans/105062348 |title = New Brisbane stadium to be built at Victoria Park for 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games |author = Jack McKay and Claudia Williams |pub = ABC News |date = March 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.foxsports.com.au/olympics/brisbane-2032-olympics-venues-announcement-live-coverage-start-time-victoria-park-stadium/news-story/a1d49c59c960e2984952460e107e85fa |title = 2032 stadium call made as QLD Premier ‘sorry’ for Gabba backflip in Olympic venues reveal |author = Courtney Walsh |pub = Fox Sports News |date = March 25, 2025 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Australian Football League]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] mnta6aayyf2f1kass0nshy3sx5hg4rc 0 3011413 5024312 4853194 2026-05-03T15:49:26Z Acagastya 1526439 links 5024312 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Folkemodet Allinge Moderaterne Lars Lokke Rasmussen in 2023 - (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|alt=. {{image|[https://www.flickr.com/people/88883738@N02 News Oresund]}}|File photo of Rasmussen in 2023. {{image|[https://www.flickr.com/people/88883738@N02 News Oresund]}}]] {{Politics and conflicts}} {{date|March 31, 2025}} In a video post on [[Twitter|X]] yesterday, [[Denmark|Danish]] Foreign Minister {{w|Lars Lokke Rasmussen}} responded to recent speeches by the [[United States]] Vice President {{w|J.D.

"Of course, we are open to criticism, but let me be completely honest," said Rasmussen, "we do not appreciate the tone in which it's being delivered." Vice President Vance had said, "We hope that [the people of Greenland] choose to partner with the United States because we're the only nation on Earth that will respect their sovereignty and respect their security — because their security is very much our security" and accused Denmark of being negligent with respect to the island's safety. Currently, relations between the U.S. and Greenland are covered by [[NATO]]'s Article 5 collective defense clause and by a 1951 agreement which, Rasumussen says, does allow for "greater military presence" on the island. Over the past several years, U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] has expressed a desire to bring Greenland under U.S. control, citing the [[Russia]]n and [[China|Chinese]] ships that use nearby waterways. According to [[ABC News (United States)|ABC]], the idea of Greenland becoming a U.S. territory has been unpopular with leaders in both Greenland and Denmark. About 6% of Greenlanders are in favor of joining the U.S., according to a poll by Verian. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.dw.com/en/denmark-not-pleased-with-vances-tone/a-72081826 |title = Greenland: Danish minister pushes back at JD Vance's 'tone' |author = Kalika Mehta |pub = DW |date = March 29, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250331152721/https://abcnews.go.com/International/denmark-tone-us-greenland-remarks-minister/story?id=120287707 }} *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/International/denmark-tone-us-greenland-remarks-minister/story?id=120287707 |title = Denmark doesn't 'appreciate the tone' of US Greenland remarks, minister says |author = David Brennan |pub = ABC |date = March 28, 2025 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20250331153241/https://www.dw.com/en/denmark-not-pleased-with-vances-tone/a-72081826 }} [[Category: Denmark]][[Category: Greenland]][[Category: Donald Trump]][[Category: United States]][[Category: Politics and conflicts]] {{Publish}}{{archived}}[[Category:Archived by Gryllida]] rz9mscrxutsmj15ae6qmqvfscc3px8s 0 3012486 5024264 4853307 2026-05-03T14:29:27Z Acagastya 1526439 local link 5024264 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Space}} {{date|April 20, 2025}} <!--leave this as it is--> [[File:KatyPerryWestminst111224_(81_of_95)_(54206733094)_(cropped_2).jpg|thumb|left|Perry in 2024]] On Monday, {{w|pop music}} singer {{w|Katy Perry}} safely returned to [[Earth]], landing in {{w|Chihuahuan Desert}}, located on the border of [[United States]] and [[Mexico]], after a {{w|sub-orbital spaceflight}} as part of {{w|Jeff Bezos}}'s {{w|space tourism}} program.

Prosecutors said the man, named Tataw, called for violent attacks against civilians in Cameroon and aided in raising funds to support said operations. The indictment accused him of supporting a conspiracy involving murder, kidnapping, and maiming of civilians, highlighting the U.S. commitment to addressing international criminal activities that originate domestically. Federal prosecutors alleged that Tataw aided armed separatist groups fighting to carve out an independent state from Cameroon's {{w|English}}-speaking regions. The indictment claimed he provided resources and made threatening communications with the intent to injure or kidnap Cameroonian civilians. Tataw was taken into custody and was expected to face trial in federal court. If convicted, he could face significant prison time for his alleged role in fueling violence overseas. The case highlighted the role of diaspora activists in the ongoing {{W|Anglophone Crisis|Anglophone crisis}} in Cameroon, where separatist groups have relied on overseas supporters for funding and operational support since the conflict's escalation in 2017.

The unrest occurred amid tensions between the two nations following the lynching of a [[Hindu]] man in Bangladesh last week. Following the protests reportedly trying to breach the High Commission, Bangladesh summoned India's envoy to express concern. {{w|Hindu nationalism|Hindu nationalist}} groups, including the {{w|Vishva Hindu Parishad}} (VHP), mobilized the march and attempted to breach barricades set up near the embassy. Television footage showed protesters chanting slogans, demanding a boycott of Bangladesh, and burning pictures of the head of Bangladesh's interim government, {{w|Muhammad Yunus}}. Demonstrators carried placards with slogans such as "India will not tolerate torture of Hindus in Bangladesh." Security personnel used batons to disperse demonstrators who broke through barricades. Protests also occurred in {{w|Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir}} and other regions. In response to the unrest, summoning the Indian High Commissioner, {{w|Pranay Verma}}, on Tuesday, Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over "violent protests" outside diplomatic missions and urged [[New Delhi]] to ensure security. India's foreign ministry characterized a prior Sunday demonstration as a small gathering of "20-25 youths" that was quickly dispersed and told they are "committed to ensure the safety of foreign missions". The diplomatic squabble stemmed from the killing of Dipu Chandra Das, a garment worker in the {{w|Mymensingh District}} of Bangladesh last Thursday. According to [[Reuters]], Das as 27 years old, while according to the [[Associated Press]], his age was 25. A mob accused Das of blasphemy against the [[Islam]]ic {{w|Prophet Muhammad}}. The mob beat him to death, hung his body, and then set it on fire. By Monday, police in Bangladesh had arrested at least ten individuals in connection with the murder. Tensions in the region had already escalated following the death of student leader {{w|Sharif Osman Hadi}}. Hadi, a critic of India and former Prime Minister [[Sheikh Hasina]], died in a [[Singapore]] hospital on December 18 after being shot in [[Dhaka]] earlier in the month. His death triggered widespread violence, including arson attacks on media outlets and Indian diplomatic missions. Religious minority groups have accused the interim government of failing to protect them. But the Yunus administration has rejected those allegations. {{w|Amit Malviya}}, a spokesperson for India's ruling [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP), condemned the lynching on [[twitter|X]], attributing it to "unchecked Islamic extremism" and criticizing the state of minority protection in Bangladesh. == Sister links == *{{sisters|w|Lynching of Dipu Chandra Das}} == Sources == *{{source |url=https://apnews.com/article/india-bangladesh-protest-new-delhi-dhaka-hindu-abcadd91cb85f6639bbed6d95b9a9763 |title=Protest erupts in India’s capital city over lynching of Hindu man in Bangladesh |author=Rajesh Roy, Piyush Nagpal and Julhas Alam |pub=Associated Press |date=December 23, 2025 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20251224095517/https://apnews.com/article/india-bangladesh-protest-new-delhi-dhaka-hindu-abcadd91cb85f6639bbed6d95b9a9763 }} *{{source |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/hundreds-protest-new-delhi-over-killing-hindu-man-bangladesh-2025-12-23/ |title=Hundreds protest in New Delhi over killing of Hindu man in Bangladesh |author=Saurabh Sharma |pub=Reuters |date=December 23, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://thedailyguardian.com/world/bangladesh-protest-who-was-dipu-chandra-das-the-hindu-man-lynched-by-a-muslim-mob-in-bhaluka-687985/ |title=Bangladesh Protest: Who was Dipu Chandra Das?

But they were unable to provide any information about the child’s condition, as the patient had not arrived at the hospital. == Sources == *{{source|url=https://apnews.com/article/mexican-navy-plane-crash-galveston-texas-medical-8150a7f25c6644163d9080ceb2fd5050| title=Mexican Navy medical flight lost communication for several minutes before Texas crash|author=Hallie Golden and Megan Janetsky|pub=Associated Press|date=December 24, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/us/galveston-plane-crash-mexico-navy.html| title=At Least 5 Dead After Medical Plane Crashes in Texas|author=Emiliano Rodríguez Mega and Livia Albeck-Ripka|pub=The New York Times|date=December 22, 2025}} *{{source|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/mexico-claudia-sheinbaum-texas-galveston-houston-b2889671.html| title=Mexican Navy medical plane lost communication for several minutes before Texas crash|author=Hallie Golden and Megan Janetsky|pub=The Independent|date=December 23, 2025}} {{Publish}} [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Mexico]] [[Category:Aviation accidents and incidents]] [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] [[Category:North America]] 45cuxpudu8almdvqjle3x5r1weludk5 3 3060506 5024705 4963474 2026-05-04T03:00:00Z Mfield 89407 Mfield moved page [[User talk:王速度]] to [[User talk:Renamed user 0947da73f5374b76a3e36579a0356ee2]] without leaving a redirect: Automatically moved page while renaming the user "[[Special:CentralAuth/王速度|王速度]]" to "[[Special:CentralAuth/Renamed user 0947da73f5374b76a3e36579a0356ee2|Renamed user 0947da73f5374b76a3e36579a0356ee2]]" 4963474 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Template:Welcome|realName=|name=王速度}} -- [[User:Wikinews Welcome|Wikinews Welcome]] ([[User talk:Wikinews Welcome|talk]]) 05:09, 24 December 2025 (UTC) m6ixts1xyy5gbbx1lhlh11y44g4qmv3 10 3060662 5024415 4986227 2026-05-03T22:22:03Z Koavf 5879 cat (via JWB) 5024415 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tmbox | type = notice | image = [[File:Robot icon.svg|50px|link=]] | style = border: 1px solid #a2a9b1; background-color: #f8f9fa; | text = '''This article includes content generated with the assistance of [[Wikinews:The use of AI in generating content|Artificial Intelligence]].''' <div style="margin-top: 0.5em; font-size: 95%;"> * '''AI tool used:''' {{{ai_model|Unknown}}} * '''AI usage type:''' {{{usage|Unknown}}} * '''Estimated AI-generated content:''' Approximately {{{ai_percentage|Unknown}}} * '''Facts manually verified by author:''' {{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{verification|}}}}}|yes|[[File:Yes check.svg|15px|link=]] Verified|[[File:X mark.svg|15px|link=]] Not verified}} {{#if:{{{notes|}}}|* '''Additional notes:''' {{{notes}}} }} </div> }} <includeonly>[[Category:AI usage declared]]</includeonly> <noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude><noinclude>[[Category:Wikinews templates]]</nowinclude> bm8k5lk6c13lv5dmln262531lr4ym26 5024451 5024415 2026-05-03T22:24:33Z Koavf 5879 (via JWB) 5024451 wikitext text/x-wiki {{tmbox | type = notice | image = [[File:Robot icon.svg|50px|link=]] | style = border: 1px solid #a2a9b1; background-color: #f8f9fa; | text = '''This article includes content generated with the assistance of [[Wikinews:The use of AI in generating content|Artificial Intelligence]].''' <div style="margin-top: 0.5em; font-size: 95%;"> * '''AI tool used:''' {{{ai_model|Unknown}}} * '''AI usage type:''' {{{usage|Unknown}}} * '''Estimated AI-generated content:''' Approximately {{{ai_percentage|Unknown}}} * '''Facts manually verified by author:''' {{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{verification|}}}}}|yes|[[File:Yes check.svg|15px|link=]] Verified|[[File:X mark.svg|15px|link=]] Not verified}} {{#if:{{{notes|}}}|* '''Additional notes:''' {{{notes}}} }} </div> }} <includeonly>[[Category:AI usage declared]]</includeonly> <noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude><noinclude>[[Category:Wikinews templates]]</noinclude> qgkommsp5fb8aw5t8vgw8fas2cl4u09 0 3061369 5024251 4966464 2026-05-03T14:13:24Z Acagastya 1526439 local link 5024251 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Date|December 27, 2025}} {{Crime and law}} On Friday, workers at a {{w|Yokohama}} Rubber Company tire manufacturing plant in {{w|Mishima}}, located in the {{w|Shizuoka}} prefecture which is west of [[Tokyo]], were assaulted by a 38-year-old man using both a knife and what authorities believe was bleach. A 38-year-old man was arrested at the scene. He was equipped with a survival knife and reportedly wore what looked like a gas mask. He moved through different departments of the facility during the attack. At least 15 people were injured in total. Eight individuals were stabbed with a knife, five of whom sustained serious injuries. Seven more people were hurt when bleach was thrown at them. All victims remained conscious. The attacker has been detained on suspicion of attempted murder. The attacker's motive has not been disclosed by authorities. Reports suggest the attacker had some connection to the factory, possibly as an employee or former employee. The Yokohama Rubber Company factory in Mishima produces passenger car tires and employs approximately 1,000 workers. This type of mass casualty attack is relatively rare in Japan, which has strict weapon regulations and generally low violent crime rates. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/japanese-media-people-injured-after-stabbed-factory-central-128699763 |title = At least 15 injured in a knife and chemical attack at a factory in Japan |author = The Associated Press |pub = ABC News |date = December 26, 2025 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stabbing-liquid-spray-attack-in-japan-factory-injures-14/ |title = Stabbing and chemical liquid attack in Japan tire factory injures 15 |author = |pub = CBS News |date = December 26, 2025 |archiveurl = }} {{Publish}} [[Category:Japan]] [[Category:Crime and law]] [[Category:Asia]] mal8u0t7fg4j7o6nre0si4a82ifag16 0 3061605 5024627 4968436 2026-05-04T00:13:17Z Acagastya 1526439 archive 5024627 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Date|December 28, 2025}} [[File:Tarique Rahman and Prof. Dr. Yunus meeting in London 2.jpg|thumb|left|Tarique Rahman and Muhammad Yunus meeting in London on June 13, 2025{{image source|[https://pressinform.gov.bd/sites/default/files/files/pressinform.portal.gov.bd/daily_photo/ee943c76_b7dc_4712_8a3c_443109029141/2025-06-13-11-11-501ba5cb3d82c06940a3c7bf3739dd46.jpg pressinform.gov.bd]}}]] {{w|Tarique Rahman}}, the acting chairman of the {{w|Bangladesh Nationalist Party}} (BNP) returned to Bangladesh on December 25, 2025, landing in [[Dhaka]] after 17 years in self-imposed exile in London.

Upon landing at {{w|Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport}} in Dhaka, Rahman was greeted by thousands of Bangladesh Nationalist Party supporters amid tight security.

He drew parallels to the country's {{w|Bangladesh Liberation War|1971 war of independence}}. Rahman, aged 60, left Bangladesh in 2008 for medical treatment after being released on bail following 18 months in detention during the military-backed government's rule from 2006 to 2008. He was convicted in absentia of charges including corruption, money laundering, and involvement in a 2004 grenade attack on a political rally for his political rival, Sheikh Hasina. These convictions were overturned or stayed after Hasina's government's fall. His return comes amid preparations for general elections scheduled for early 2026, under an interim government led by Nobel laureate {{w|Muhammad Yunus}}. The elections follow a student-led uprising in 2024 that resulted in Hasina's removal and her subsequent flight to India. The protests, initially sparked by opposition to a job quota system, escalated into broader anti-government demonstrations, leading to an estimated 1,400 deaths according to United Nations figures. Hasina has since been sentenced to death in absentia for crimes against humanity related to the crackdown. According to a December poll by the {{w|International Republican Institute}}, the BNP is the frontrunner for the election with 30 percent support. The party has recently distanced itself from allies like Jamaat-e-Islami to adopt a more centrist approach. However, challenges remain, including integrating party factions, maintaining law and order, and addressing potential unrest from Awami League supporters. The Awami League was not allowed to participate in the elections. Rahman's mother, {{w|Khaleda Zia}}, 80, is hospitalised in critical condition since November 2025.

The initiative to commemorate the prominent Ukrainian politician was supported by 57% of participants in a public poll on "Kyiv Digital" application. On January 1, Maryna Poroshenko, the leader of “European Solidarity”, announced the street name in the Kyiv City Council and on [[Facebook]]. As the result, a section along Mariinsky Park – from Hrushevskoho Street to Parkova Road – will bear the politician's name, named "Andrei Parubia Street". In December, former President of Ukraine and head of the European Solidarity party [[Petro Poroshenko]] asked the residents of Kyiv to support the vote to name the street after Parubiy. The street had no name at the time of the proposal. "This place is significant for our team and for Andriy himself — a significant part of his journey is connected with it," Poroshenko said. On October 1, 2025, President [[Volodymyr Zelenskyy]] signed a decree awarding Parubiy the title of Hero of Ukraine. A petition to award the title of Hero of Ukraine to Parubiy was registered on the presidential website on September 2, gaining 25,000 signatures, which was necessary for the proposal to be considered by President. The {{w|Verkhovna Rada}}, the Ukrainian parliament, also supported the request. Parubiy was among several people who were conferred Heroes of Ukraine. Others were writer Volodymyr Vakulenko and student and footballer {{w|Stepan Chubenko}}. Poroshenko lauded the decision, recalling that "Parubiy dedicated his entire life to serving Ukraine". Andriy Parubiy, 54, who served as the Chairman of Verkhovna Rada from 14 April 2016 to 29 August 2019, was shot and killed in {{w|Lviv}} on 30 August 2025. He died at the scene from injuries. The killing happened amid the Russian invasion, which started in 2022. The shooter managed to escape. Later, Ukrainian authorities detained a suspect, and allege there is a Russian link to the killing. Parubiy was an active participant of {{w|Euromaidan}}. He also served as Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of {{w|Ukraine}} from February till August 2014. The suspected killer of Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Parubiy admitted on 2 September his role in the killing. He claimed to have comitted the crime in an act of "revenge" against the country’s authorities. He denied having worked with Russian special services. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://24tv.ua/ru/ulica-andreja-parubija-kakuju-ulicu-stolicy-pereimenujut_n2981523 |title =

CHUPRINA (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Andriy Parubiy pictured in September 2016.]] {{Ukraine}} A street in [[Kyiv]] will be named after the former Speaker of the Parliament {{w|Andriy Parubiy}}, killed in {{w|Lviv}}. The initiative to commemorate the prominent [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] politician was supported by 57% of participants in a public poll on "Kyiv Digital" application. On January 1, Maryna Poroshenko, the leader of “European Solidarity”, announced the street name in the Kyiv City Council and on [[Facebook]]. As the result, a section along Mariinsky Park – from Hrushevskoho Street to Parkova Road – will bear the politician's name, named "Andrei Parubia Street". In December, former President of Ukraine and head of the European Solidarity party [[Petro Poroshenko]] asked the residents of Kyiv to support the vote to name the street after Parubiy. The street had no name at the time of the proposal. "This place is significant for our team and for Andriy himself — a significant part of his journey is connected with it," Poroshenko said. On October 1, 2025, President [[Volodymyr Zelenskyy]] signed a decree awarding Parubiy the title of Hero of Ukraine. A petition to award the title of Hero of Ukraine to Parubiy was registered on the presidential website on September 2, gaining 25,000 signatures, which was necessary for the proposal to be considered by President. The {{w|Verkhovna Rada}}, the Ukrainian parliament, also supported the request. Parubiy was among several people who were conferred Heroes of Ukraine. Others were writer Volodymyr Vakulenko and student and footballer {{w|Stepan Chubenko}}. Poroshenko lauded the decision, recalling that "Parubiy dedicated his entire life to serving Ukraine". Andriy Parubiy, 54, who served as the Chairman of Verkhovna Rada from 14 April 2016 to 29 August 2019, was shot and killed in {{w|Lviv}} on 30 August 2025. He died at the scene from injuries. The killing happened amid the Russian invasion, which started in 2022. The shooter managed to escape. Later, Ukrainian authorities detained a suspect, and allege there is a Russian link to the killing. Parubiy was an active participant of {{w|Euromaidan}}. He also served as Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine from February till August 2014. The suspected killer of Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Parubiy admitted on 2 September his role in the killing. He claimed to have comitted the crime in an act of "revenge" against the country’s authorities. He denied having worked with Russian special services. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://24tv.ua/ru/ulica-andreja-parubija-kakuju-ulicu-stolicy-pereimenujut_n2981523 |title =

[[File:Nicolas Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima.jpg|thumb|left|alt=Nicolás Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima.|Nicolas Maduro on board the ''USS Iwo Jima''. {{image|United States Department of Defense}}]] The president of [[Venezuela]], {{w|Nicolás Maduro}}, has been captured by the [[United States]] on Saturday at around 3 am UTC-4, according to a post by US president [[Donald Trump]] on social media. Trump has told reporters Maduro had been “in a house that was more like a fortress”, in the country’s capital, [[Caracas]]. Trump justified this action by claiming that Maduro is the leader of the {{w|Cartel de los Soles}}, and pushing illegal immigration of dangerous individuals in the United States. {{w|Yván Gil|Yván Gil Pinto}}, Venezuela’s foreign minister, said the country has requested a [[United Nations]] Security Council meeting to be held after the attack. The [[BBC]] reports airstrikes in Caracas targeting {{w|Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base|La Carlota}}, an airbase and {{w|Fort Tiuna}}, a military base where the United States suspected Maduro to be located, and in other locations. According to local authorities there has been civilian deaths and injuries, but the exact numbers are still unknown. It was also reported by the BBC that the operation was orchestrated by a {[[CIA]] infiltration of the Venezuelan government. {{w|France 24}} reported that the CIA had been monitoring his “every movement since August”, despite Maduro’s efforts to change location regularly. It was also reported that the operation involved more than 150 military aircraft, including one helicopter that was to capture Maduro. According to the United States authorities, the {{w|Delta Force}} special operation force, arrived at Maduro’s location at “2:01 a.m. local time” and were able to capture him before he could get into his solid steel safe room (sources contradict however, on his exact location at that point. Some sources reported that Trump said Maduro was almost in his safe room whilst others said he was sleeping in his bed). They then relocated the “indicted persons” on a ship after crossing the coastline of Venezuela at 3:29 am. Trump later revealed that Maduro’s wife, {{w|Cilia Flores}}, was also captured, and both were on board the {{w|USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7)}} with destination the southern district of [[New York State|New York]], ultimately to be prosecuted. Attorney General {{w|Pam Bondi}} was quoted by the BBC saying “[he will] face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts” and, according to [[CNN]], announced an indictment for leading “state‐sponsored gangs” and supporting drug trafficking. Venezuelan authorities also reported other strikes, said to be made with the intent of seizing their oil and minerals, and have declared national emergency. They, along with Cuba, Colombia, Iran and Russia, have denounced the action as a “serious military aggression”. Argentine’s president, {{w|Javier Milei}} supported the action. Venezuela’s vice‐president, {{w|Delcy Rodríguez}} called for Maduro and his wife to be released, saying the operation violated the country’s territorial integrity. The BBC stated that these strikes follow a string of more than 30 strikes on Venezuelan vessels, and a strike on a “dock area” in {{w|Maracaibo}}, resulting in the death of more than 110 people. The Trump administration stated that it is engaging in “non‐international armed conflict with […] alleged drug traffickers”. According to the BBC, legal experts doubt the legality of these actions, saying the strikes are not against "lawful military targets". According to CNN, Trump also justified not advising Congress before the operation to avoid a "leak", which drew criticisms from Democratic lawmakers. After the capture, the {{w|United States Department of Justice|US Justice Department}} unsealed an indictment against Maduro in which Maduro and others were charged with “conspiracy to commit {{w|narcoterrorism|narco‐terrorism}} and conspiracy to import cocaine”. According to the BBC, Maduro has denied this and has said before that Trump’s actual goal is to get access to Venezuela’s oil reserves, as indicated by the United States’ confiscation of several oil tankers. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpdyvn176lzo |title = US captures Maduro after strikes on Venezuelan capital Caracas |author = Will Grant, Tom McArthur, André Rhoden-Paul |pub = BBC |date = January 3, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260103201033/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpdyvn176lzo }} *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93n4nx5yqro |title = Why has Trump attacked Venezuela and taken Maduro? |author = Vanessa Buschschlüter |pub = BBC |date = January 3, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260103140005/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93n4nx5yqro }} *{{source |url = https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260103-pets-planes-and-a-fortress-inside-trump-s-raid-on-maduro |title = Pets, planes and a 'fortress': inside Trump's raid on Maduro |author = {{w|Agence France-Presse|AFP}} |pub = France 24 |date = January 3, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260103231928/https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260103-pets-planes-and-a-fortress-inside-trump-s-raid-on-maduro }} *{{source |url = https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/03/maduro-indictment-drugs-venezuela.html |title = U.S. indictment against Venezuela President Maduro, wife is unsealed |author = Dan Mangan |pub = CNBC |date = January 3, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260104004317/https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/03/maduro-indictment-drugs-venezuela.html }} *{{source |url = https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/03/americas/venezuela-explosions-intl-hnk |title = The US has captured Venezuelan leader Maduro.

Delaere, known online as 'kannotlogin', used data analysis to demonstrate that the top times on the global leaderboard were achieved using illegal scripts. Delaere was competing in a speed-running event for the game ''Ultimate Easy Obby''. The event was an official collaboration between Roblox and Guinness World Records. Players had to complete a digital obstacle course as fast as possible. According to ''{{w|Jeuxvideo.com|JV}}'', after weeks of practice, Delaere posted a time of 5 minutes and 48.96 seconds. Before the competition closed, three unknown accounts posted times around 5 minutes and 42 seconds. ''JV'' reported that Delaere, posting on [[Reddit]], believed the times were humanly impossible. == Technical investigation == [[File:Quinten Delaere Gaming GWR.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Delaere performing the technical analysis of the speedrun. {{Image|[[c:User:Kannotlogin|Kannotlogin]]}}]] Delaere conducted a digital forensic analysis and compiled a report alleging that the new records were fraudulent. The report cited three technical points. First, the analysis pointed to the timestamps of the badges earned by the rival accounts. The data showed that badges were unlocked in a non-chronological order. Delaere’s report described the non-chronological order as consistent with the use of teleportation scripts in a normally linear course. Second, the top accounts were missing specific digital items in their inventory. Players who cross the finish line automatically receive a 'digital receipt' (an in-game item). The suspect accounts lacked this item. According to ''{{w|Kotaku}}'', Delaere argued that "this proved he never actually touched the finish line trigger; he likely teleported a coordinate script to the end-game lobby." ''{{w|PCGamesN}}'' reported that Delaere’s investigation found expired items in the players’ inventories. Delaere also submitted a frame-by-frame video analysis of his own run to calculate the theoretical maximum speed, arguing that the rival times were mathematically unachievable. "I took my best run and calculated the theoretical maximum time save possible (perfect pixels, zero drag). Even with a TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun) level of perfection, the times the cheaters posted were mathematically impossible within the game’s physics engine." == Recognition == Delaere submitted his findings to the {{w|Guinness World Records}} headquarters in [[London]]. ''MeriStation'' reported that, after an internal review, the organization concluded Delaere was correct, disqualified the other accounts, and awarded him the official world record. The challenged times were removed from the database. The time set by Delaere was officially recognized as the new world record. {{Haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source|url=https://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/2055221/des-tricheurs-tentent-de-lui-voler-un-record-du-monde-mais-ce-joueur-mene-l-enquete-et-les-demasque.htm|title=Des tricheurs tentent de voler un record du monde, mais ce joueur les démasque|author=Nicolas Dixmier|pub=Jeuxvideo.com|date=January 9, 2026|lang=fr|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260112064421/https://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/2055221/des-tricheurs-tentent-de-lui-voler-un-record-du-monde-mais-ce-joueur-mene-l-enquete-et-les-demasque.htm}} *{{source|url=https://kotaku.com/roblox-fall-guys-speedrun-world-record-fraud-2000657154|title=Roblox Player Performs Speedrunning Forensics To Uncover Fraud And Win Back World Record|author=Ethan Gach|pub=Kotaku|date=January 6, 2026|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260108132239/https://kotaku.com/roblox-fall-guys-speedrun-world-record-fraud-2000657154}} *{{source|url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/roblox/guiness-world-record-cheat|title=Roblox player succeeds in quest to pry Guinness World Record from the hands of cheaters|author=Ben Sledge|pub=PCGamesN|date=January 5, 2026|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20260106213037/https://www.pcgamesn.com/roblox/guiness-world-record-cheat}} *{{source|url=https://as.com/meristation/betech/quinten-de-18-anos-vence-a-los-hackers-llaman-a-la-puerta-y-son-los-del-libro-guinness-de-los-records-f202601-n/|title=Quinten, de 18 años, vence a los hackers|author=Miguel Varela|pub=Meristation (Diario AS)|date=January 2, 2026|lang=es|https://web.archive.org/web/20260102194649/https://as.com/meristation/betech/quinten-de-18-anos-vence-a-los-hackers-llaman-a-la-puerta-y-son-los-del-libro-guinness-de-los-records-f202601-n/}} {{Publish}} [[Category:Culture and entertainment]] [[Category:Belgium]] [[Category:Video games]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:World records]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:London]] as1x7nrmn71a8fkipyiaedf1qte6n96 5024655 5024621 2026-05-04T00:35:50Z Acagastya 1526439 indent 5024655 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Nb|This article was initially created by its subject, who disclosed a conflict of interest.

His family announced his death via {{w|Instagram}}, noting that he had recently fought a cancer diagnosis but died due to "underlying lung issues". The announcement did not specify the date of Weir's death. [[File:Weir, Bob (2007) 2.jpg|left|alt=Weir playing guitar|thumb|Bob Weir, 2007.{{image|minds-eye|file=Weir, Bob (2007) 2.jpg}}]] Weir played rhythm guitar and sang with American {{w|psychedelic rock}} band the Grateful Dead for decades, and also wrote some of their songs, including the hit "{{w|Sugar Magnolia}}", a staple of Grateful Dead concerts. He also had a long solo career, making various groups with fellow Grateful Dead alumni, and playing live until months before his death. Weir was born Robert Hall Parber on October&nbsp;16, 1947, in {{w|San&nbsp;Francisco, California}}, and grew up in the San&nbsp;Francisco Bay Area, spending some time going to school in {{w|Colorado}}, where he met future Grateful Dead member {{w|John Perry Barlow}}. Weir started playing guitar at age 13 and gravitated to a local {{w|bluegrass music|bluegrass}} scene, where he first encountered {{w|Jerry Garcia}} playing banjo. On December&nbsp;31, 1965, Garcia and Weir agreed to form their own group called Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, which evolved into the Grateful Dead. Weir played rhythm guitar, and sang for the group, for decades. He also explored a solo career and variety of other groups outside of the Grateful Dead starting in the 1970s, including {{w|Kingfish (band)|Kingfish}}, {{w|Bobby and the Midnites}}, {{w|RatDog}}, {{w|Furthur (band)|Furthur}}, {{w|The Other Ones}}, {{w|The Dead (band)|The Dead}}, {{w|Wolf Bros}}, and {{w|Dead & Company}}. All groups featured fellow Grateful Dead collaborators and explored genres from {{w|country rock}} to {{w|jam band}} to {{w|jazz}}-influenced {{w|roots rock}} with a basis in {{w|blues music|blues}} and {{w|country music|country}}. His vocal contributions were mostly only harmonies and as a backup singer, but he took lead on several tracks, including Grateful Dead anthem "{{w|Truckin'}}", a song noted by the {{w|Library of Congress}} as a national treasure in 1997. Outside of musical performance, Weir has also established {{w|Tamalpais Research Institute}}, a virtual performance platform, and was active in politics, advocating for several causes, including {{w|environmentalism}}, poverty relief, and issues related to the arts. He had stayed active in the Bay Area music scene, performing live with local musicians and co-owning the venue Sweetwater Music Hall in {{w|Mill Valley, California}}. He is survived by wife Natascha and daughters Chloe and Monet, as well as other family. ==See also== *"[[Poet, lyricist, and digital activist John Perry Barlow dies, aged 70]]" *"[[Singer-songwriter Robert Hunter dies, aged 78]]" *"[[Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh dies, aged 84]]" ==Sources== *{{source |url = https://variety.com/2026/music/news/bob-weir-dead-grateful-dead-1236628170/ |title = Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Singer, Guitarist and Co-Founder, Dies at 78 |author = Chris Morris |pub = Variety |date = January 10, 2026 }} *{{source |url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bob-weir-grateful-dead-dead-obituary-1234810106/ |title = Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Co-Founder, Dead at 78 |author = Richard Gehr |pub = Rolling Stone |date = January 10, 2026 }} *{{source |url=https://americansongwriter.com/how-a-run-in-with-police-in-new-orleans-inspired-the-grateful-deads-hit-truckin/ |title=How a Run-in With Police in New Orleans Inspired The Grateful Dead’s Hit “Truckin’” |author=Lauren Boisvert |pub = American Songwriter |date=June 28, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://www.gigwise.com/sugar-magnolia-by-grateful-dead-lyrics-details/ |title=Sugar Magnolia By Grateful Dead Lyrics &amp; Details |author=Casey Monroe |pub = Gigwise |date=July 9, 2025 }} *{{source |url=https://parade.com/news/bob-weir-kids-daughters-stepchildren |title=Who Are Bob Weir’s Kids?

Gonca Kara, Chairwoman of the Tenkil Museum Board of Directors, stated that, recalling the systematic violations in Turkey, "justice, transparency, and empathy" are needed for peace. [[File:Karte hanau in deutschland.png|thumb|alt=Location of Hanau in Germany|Location of Hanau in Germany]] The exhibition highlights personal stories of purge victims, including {{w|Gülen movement|Gülenists}}, via belongings like glasses, prisoner letters, and children's drawings.

The court concluded the Council breached the law by providing insufficient time for the homeless people to find alternative accommodation and by disposing of their personal belongings without consent. In the judgement, Justice Smith said the Council made "errors of law" finding that the Council's seizure and disposal of the property of eight homeless people at Eddie Hyland Park — including their tents and other personal belongings — without consent in April and May last year violated human rights. Although the eviction involved eight campers at the park, the legal case was brought by eleven applicants who said they were affected by the Council's enforcement actions. The judgement noted that the Council would still be allowed to remove campers from public parks provided this was done "lawfully". On Friday, the Council published a statement noting that eight homeless people had taken the Council to court and linking to the Supreme Court judgement. In that statement Council stated it would continue enforcing its ban on camping on public land. Responsibility for providing shelter to homeless people rested with the Queensland state government according to the Council. The court scheduled the next hearing in three weeks to determine relief and costs. Basic Rights Queensland and the Queensland Human Rights Commission supported the campers in the legal proceedings.

The declaration came as the war in Iran had gone on for a week. Trump has also demanded more "acceptable" leadership in the country. Trump wrote that once "acceptable" leadership was selected in Iran, the US and its allies would make Iran "economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before." On Saturday, in an address to the nation, Iran's President {{W|Masoud Pezeshkian}} said that Trump's demand is a "dream they should send to their grave." A week ago, the United States and Israel attacked Iran, and killed various government officials, including the supreme leader of Iran, [[Ali Khamenei]], in strikes. In retaliation for the attacks, Iran has bombed [[Middle East|Middle Eastern]] countries including [[Jordan]], [[Kuwait]], [[Qatar]], [[Bahrain]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Saudi Arabia]], and [[Oman]], according to {{w|SBS News}}. In the Saturday address, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized for attacks on regional countries, {{w|Jakarta Globe}} reported. The Globe also reported that 1,230 people were killed in Iran and that six US troops were killed.

The firm analysed 260,000 EV chargers connected to its platform, which were located in Europe. In the publication, the firm showed the chargers ranked by their "performance score". The firm calculated this score metric from two parameters &mdash; the charger uptime, and the percent of charge sessions that went successful without hardware or software or user interruptions. The {{W|Charging_station|anchor=Alternating_current_(AC)|AC}} &mdash; slower chargers &mdash; and {{W|Charging_station|anchor=Direct_current_(DC)|DC}} &mdash; fast chargers &mdash; ranking was provided in two separate tables. AC chargers performance was topped by a {{W|Mennekes}} EV charger, with performance score 94.65. Among DC chargers, five charger models by {{W|Alpitronic}} took the top spots, with performance score reaching 96.54. ''The Driven'', an Australian news site, noted that '9 out of 10' of the top performing DC chargers from Monta's report were available for sale, and were in use &mdash; by {{W|Ampol}} AmpCharge and {{W|BP Pulse}} &mdash; in Australia. The firm noted the published results provided motivation for EV chargers to adopt these benchmarks in marketing, and further develop their products to increase performance and uptime. A volunteer ''Wikinews'' reporter reached out to Monta, and Monta has clarified that they also have some EV chargers on their platform in Asia, Oceania, and North America, however excluded them from the ranking due to small quantities. Monta also noted they were planning to release quarterly EV charger updates in 2026, and yearly EV charger ranking reports with awards. The Monta's EV charger ranking program was launched in June last year. Monta won the best EV app/software at the E-Mobility Awards 2023. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == {{original reporting}} * {{source | url = https://thedriven.io/2026/03/08/what-the-latest-performance-rankings-tell-us-about-australias-dc-fast-chargers/ | title = What the latest performance rankings tell us about Australia's DC fast chargers | author = Ed Lynch-Bell | pub = The Driven | date = March 8, 2026 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} * {{source | url = https://www.evinfrastructurenews.com/charging-software/monta-launches-first-ev-charger-ranking-system | title = Monta launches first EV charger ranking system | author = Kit Million Ross | pub = EV Infrastructure News | date = June 19, 2025 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} * {{source | url = https://monta.com/en/campaign/monta-chargers-performance-score-2025/ | title = Monta EV Chargers Performance Score 2025 - Monta | author = | pub = Monta | date = March 8, 2025 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Science and technology]] [[Category:Economy and business]] [[Category:Denmark]] [[Category:Environment]] [[Category:Transport]] [[Category:Electric vehicles]] {{Publish}} {{archived}} 53arut4ftfirk95usjnuiv1akeeks5u 0 3083094 5024649 4997309 2026-05-04T00:26:53Z Acagastya 1526439 archive 5024649 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Date|March 11, 2026}} {{Footballbox-ver |date=March 7, 2026 |team1=Moreton City |goals1=B.

The plan included building 18,300 new homes in the area, and building a new metro station. This would position the area as a residential hub between [[Sydney CBD]] and {{W|Parramatta}}, shortening commute times down to ten minutes, the proposal said. With allowance for up to 42 storey residential buildings, the government proposal involved a requirement that at least 5% of the new homes were "affordable housing", offered at a lower rental price to lower income households. Burwood North Station, scheduled to open in 2032, would provide easier access to retail outlets and businesses located near Parramatta Road, and reduce load on existing train and bus networks. The proposal text noted it would create 3,900 new jobs to implement the changes. The proposal was a part of Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy. The NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure was listed as a contact for inquiries and feedback. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == * {{source | url = https://www.realestate.com.au/news/sydney-suburb-ranked-among-worlds-best-rezoned-for-18000-new-homes/ | title = Sydney suburb ranked among 'world's best' rezoned for 18,000 new homes - realestate.com.au | author = Vivien Topalovic | pub = realestate.com.au | date = March 10, 2026 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} * {{source | url = https://participate.burwood.nsw.gov.au/burwood-north-precinct-masterplan | title = Burwood North Precinct Masterplan | author = | pub = Participate Burwood | date = March 10, 2026 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} * {{source | url = https://www.sydneymetro.info/station/burwood-north-station | title = Burwood North Station | Sydney Metro | author = | pub = Sydney Metro | date = March 10, 2026 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} * {{source | url = https://www.burwood.nsw.gov.au/Planning-Building/Burwood-North-Precinct-Masterplan | title = Burwood North Precinct Masterplan | author = | pub = Burwood | date = March 10, 2026 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} * {{source | url = https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-10/nsw-burwood-north-metro-rezoning-housing-jobs/106435512 | title = Burwood North rezoning around new metro station could see thousands of new homes | author = Blair Wise | pub = ABC News (Australia) | date = March 10, 2026 | archiveurl = | lang = | medium = }} [[Category:Australia]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Economy and business]] {{Publish}} {{archived}} pr7kbux2l7n6z5cy7kvau0fgl8q8iez 0 3083848 5024644 5007001 2026-05-04T00:24:10Z Acagastya 1526439 archive 5024644 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Australia}} {{date|March 13, 2026}} {{w|Chris Bowen}}, [[Australia|Australian]] {{w|Minister for Climate Change and Energy}}, allowed the usage of dirtier fuel with elevated sulfur content for 60 days, he announced on Thursday.

The decision was made in response to an incident earlier in the week on Monday that resulted in a young girl at a children playground in {{w|Daegu}} being injured near the neck by an alleged stray bullet from a military drill at nearby military facility. Her injuries were not life-threatening and she was released from the hospital. Her name was not released to the general public. Investigations into the circumstances leading up the incident were said to be underway. The incident raised questions regarding the military's practice of conducting shooting drills in close proximity to civilian territory. A spokesperson for the army confirmed that a firearms drill had indeed been taking place at the same time the girl reported being struck. The incident came a year after the South Korean Army accidentally bombed a small village near the {{w|North Korean border}}, injuring 30 civilians, while conducting a drill with US forces. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.malaymail.com/amp/news/world/2026/03/18/south-korea-halts-army-firing-drills-after-stray-bullet-hits-child-at-playground-in-daegu/213083 |title = South Korea halts army firing drills after stray bullet hits child at playground in Daegu |author = |pub = Malay Mail |date = March 18, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260323214925/https://www.malaymail.com/amp/news/world/2026/03/18/south-korea-halts-army-firing-drills-after-stray-bullet-hits-child-at-playground-in-daegu/213083 }} *{{source |url = https://www.lokmattimes.com/international/south-korea-halts-military-live-fire-drills-after-child-hit-by-suspected-stray-bullet-in-daegu-a525 |title = South Korea Halts Military Live-Fire Drills After Child Hit By Suspected Stray Bullet in Degau |author = Lokmat Times Desk |pub = Lokmat Times |date = March 18, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260323215026/https://www.lokmattimes.com/international/south-korea-halts-military-live-fire-drills-after-child-hit-by-suspected-stray-bullet-in-daegu-a525/ }} *{{source |url = https://thesun.my/news/world-news/asia/south-korean-army-halts-drills-after-stray-bullet-injures-child/ |title = South Korean army halts drills after stray bullet injures child |author = AFP |pub = The Sun (Malaysia) |date = March 18, 2026 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20260323215115/https://thesun.my/news/world-news/asia/south-korean-army-halts-drills-after-stray-bullet-injures-child/ }} {{Publish}} {{archived}} [[Category:Disasters and accidents]] [[Category:South Korea]] [[Category:Military]] [[Category:Health]] [[Category:Asia]] q3zo30q7fwnyz0tlxbspjndycybjw2v 0 3087517 5024366 5024182 2026-05-03T19:17:11Z Douverill 2957574 Minor grammar mistakes 5024366 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Review}} {{Date|March 24, 2026}} [[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}}. Attendees filled the store. ''Wikinews'' was present for the concert. The performances were scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. local time (2230 UTC) but started shortly after, and ended at 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]] mimfvn47xgfmaccp6kd4lhebwvu7ovq 0 3088290 5024236 5024226 2026-05-03T13:11:56Z Acagastya 1526439 Not ready when reviewed: article needs improvement(s).

In the announcement, a representative from Wikimedia Foundation cited motivations such as "long-term sustainability, levels of community activity, and the availability of reliable news coverage on other platforms". The announcement stated that all ''Wikinews'' editions—referring to the multiple language sections of ''Wikinews''—would "transition to read-only mode" on May 4. The announcement did not mention the time zone when the wiki would go in read-only mode; but ''Wikinews'' operated under the {{w|UTC}} timezone. In the announcement message, trustee [[m: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. 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." According to the Wikimedia Foundation, except for English, Russian and Chinese ''Wikinews'', most traffic to Wikinews came in the form of {{w|web crawlers}} and bots, as opposed to humans. The foundation stated in its closure recommendation that it is "difficult to claim that it is disseminating educational content and, even more so, that it is doing so effectively and globally." On March 31, users from different countries and regions started discussions regarding moving the ''Wikinews'' content and community to another website at Wikimedia's [[w:Meta-Wiki|Meta-Wiki]]. Miraheze and {{W|Wikimedia NYC}} were in discussion of continuing the hosting as ''Wikinews Pulse'', with a restructure to increase multilingual support and try new outputs, according to a note by a Wikimedia volunteer [[User:Pharos]]. However, at the time of publishing this report, they had not provided an estimated time the project would be restarted. ''Wikinews'' was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives. Some of the other sister projects includes [[m:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[m:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], and [[m:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]. All of these Wikimedia projects support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of ''Wikinews'' was raised for consideration in June, with a WMF task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[m: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. ''Wikinews'' was launched in November 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.

In the announcement, a representative from Wikimedia Foundation cited motivations such as "long-term sustainability, levels of community activity, and the availability of reliable news coverage on other platforms". The announcement stated that all ''Wikinews'' editions—referring to the multiple language sections of ''Wikinews''—would "transition to read-only mode" on May 4. The announcement did not mention the time zone when the wiki would go in read-only mode; but ''Wikinews'' operated under the {{w|UTC}} timezone. In the announcement message, trustee [[m: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. 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." According to the Wikimedia Foundation, except for English, Russian and Chinese ''Wikinews'', most traffic to Wikinews came in the form of {{w|web crawlers}} and bots, as opposed to humans. The foundation stated in its closure recommendation that it is "difficult to claim that it is disseminating educational content and, even more so, that it is doing so effectively and globally." On March 31, users from different countries and regions started discussions regarding moving the ''Wikinews'' content and community to another website at Wikimedia's [[w:Meta-Wiki|Meta-Wiki]]. Miraheze and {{W|Wikimedia NYC}} were in discussion of continuing the hosting as ''Wikinews Pulse'', with a restructure to increase multilingual support and try new outputs, according to a note by a Wikimedia volunteer [[User:Pharos]]. However, at the time of publishing this report, they had not provided an estimated time the project would be restarted. ''Wikinews'' was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives. Some of the other sister projects includes [[m:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[m:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], and [[m:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]. All of these Wikimedia projects support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of ''Wikinews'' was raised for consideration in June, with a WMF task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[m: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. ''Wikinews'' was launched in November 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]]. While many ''Wikinews'' articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted [[:CAT:Original reporting|original reporting]].

In the announcement, a representative from Wikimedia Foundation cited motivations such as "long-term sustainability, levels of community activity, and the availability of reliable news coverage on other platforms". The announcement stated that all ''Wikinews'' editions—referring to the multiple language sections of ''Wikinews''—would "transition to read-only mode" on May 4. The announcement did not mention the time zone when the wiki would go in read-only mode; but ''Wikinews'' operated under the {{w|UTC}} timezone. In the announcement message, trustee [[m: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. 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." According to the Wikimedia Foundation, except for English, Russian and Chinese ''Wikinews'', most traffic to Wikinews came in the form of {{w|web crawlers}} and bots, as opposed to humans. The foundation stated in its closure recommendation that it is "difficult to claim that it is disseminating educational content and, even more so, that it is doing so effectively and globally." On March 31, users from different countries and regions started discussions regarding moving the ''Wikinews'' content and community to another website at Wikimedia's [[w:Meta-Wiki|Meta-Wiki]]. Miraheze and {{W|Wikimedia NYC}} were in discussion of continuing the hosting as ''Wikinews Pulse'', with a restructure to increase multilingual support and try new outputs, according to a note by a Wikimedia volunteer [[User:Pharos]]. However, at the time of publishing this report, they had not provided an estimated time the project would be restarted. ''Wikinews'' was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives. Some of the other sister projects includes [[m:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[m:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], and [[m:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]. All of these Wikimedia projects support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of ''Wikinews'' was raised for consideration in June, with a WMF task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[m: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. ''Wikinews'' was launched in November 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]]. While many ''Wikinews'' articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted [[:CAT:Original reporting|original reporting]].

It replaced the [[:File:Wikinews logo.png|beta version]] logo.]] {{Wikimedia Foundation}} The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation/Board of Trustees|Board of Trustees]] of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] announced on March&nbsp;30 its decision to close all language editions of the project. In the announcement, a representative from Wikimedia Foundation cited motivations such as "long-term sustainability, levels of community activity, and the availability of reliable news coverage on other platforms". The announcement stated that all ''Wikinews'' editions—referring to the multiple language sections of ''Wikinews''—would "transition to read-only mode" on May 4. The announcement did not mention the time zone when the wiki would go in read-only mode; but ''Wikinews'' operated under the {{w|UTC}} timezone. In the announcement message, trustee [[m: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. 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." According to the Wikimedia Foundation, except for English, Russian and Chinese ''Wikinews'', most traffic to Wikinews came in the form of {{w|web crawlers}} and bots, as opposed to humans. The foundation stated in its closure recommendation that it is "difficult to claim that it is disseminating educational content and, even more so, that it is doing so effectively and globally." On March 31, users from different countries and regions started discussions regarding moving the ''Wikinews'' content and community to another website at Wikimedia's [[w:Meta-Wiki|Meta-Wiki]]. Miraheze and {{W|Wikimedia NYC}} were in discussion of continuing the hosting as ''Wikinews Pulse'', with a restructure to increase multilingual support and try new outputs, according to a note by a Wikimedia volunteer [[User:Pharos]]. However, at the time of publishing this report, they had not provided an estimated time the project would be restarted. ''Wikinews'' was a sister project of other Wikimedia initiatives. Some of the other sister projects includes [[m:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[m:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], and [[m:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]. All of these Wikimedia projects support the dissemination of free knowledge and media. The future of ''Wikinews'' was raised for consideration in June, with a WMF task force recommending the project's closure, followed by [[m: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. ''Wikinews'' was launched in November 2004. It was first proposed by an anonymous contributor in January 2003<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Archive&diff=prev&oldid=4306 --> and faced a community vote that ended 151 yea and 59 nay, leading to the first demo going live in October 2004.<!-- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Vote --> The English-language ''Wikinews'' was formally created December&nbsp;2 of that year, with German following one day later. <!--Context of blogs, citizen journalism (e.g. Occupy, Indymedia, blogger's bill of rights)--> The project's early development followed a series of community discussions and milestones in late 2004 and early 2005. A [[m: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 of that year. 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]]. While many ''Wikinews'' articles were synthesized from other news sources, the project also posted [[:CAT:Original reporting|original reporting]]. The purpose of this activity was to add exclusive content which would not be available elsewhere on the web or on television. These original reports included interviews with people such as [[Shimon Peres discusses the future of Israel|Shimon Peres]], then-president of [[Israel]]; [[U.S.]] Senator [[Sam Brownback on running for President, gay rights, the Middle East and religion|Sam Brownback]]; journalist [[Gay Talese on the state of journalism, Iraq and his life|Gay Talese]]; and voice actor [[Billy West, voice of Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, on the rough start that shaped his life|Billy West]]. A 2005 article featuring original reporting, [[Unrest in Belize]], was cited by Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] as ''Wikinews'''s first scoop. [[File:StudentsInWikinews.ogv|right|thumb|David Blackall overviews a project that asked journalism students at the University of Wollongong to write Wikinews stories. 2013. {{image source|David Blackall}}]] In 2008, ''Wikinews'' introduced a volunteer peer review process, with users voting to elect peer reviewers. From that time, a volunteer reviewer would have to approve each news report before it would be published; which would add 'Published' category to the article and display the article on the main page and {{W|RSS}} feeds. For some time, among others, the late [[User:Brian McNeil|Brian McNeil]] and then the late [[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] led the project until 2021. In a 2010 interview, researcher [[Andrew Lih]] from University of [[Hong Kong]] {{w|Journalism and Media Studies Centre}}, commented, "[I]t's not clear that the wiki process really gears itself towards deadlines and group narrative writing. ... And I think that is providing some kind of a tension in terms of getting Wikipedians to write for an organization such as Wikinews." In 2013, a link to ''Wikinews'' was removed from the "In the News" section of the front page of Wikipedia, and links to ''Wikinews'' were also removed from the Current Events portal in that year. ''Wikinews'' had also also been involved in [[:Category:UoW|university student education]] with {{W|University of Wollongong}}, for several years, with David Blackall, an academic at University of Wollongong, Faculty of Creative Arts.

The lede of the article is not only in passive voice, it is not per [[WN:LEDE]]. Similar problems exists towards the end of the article as well where things happen, but it does not answer "who" did it. One of the reasons why that is the case is also because per [[WN:PYRAMID]], "Use punchy, active language to intone a sense of immediacy" while the article uses passive voice at places. Look at the para stating "Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia." -- it is near 100% possibility that anything and everything will receive some sort of criticism -- what needs to be specified is who did it? Where did they do it? Else this behaviour becomes a gateway to saying one's opinion which bypasses neutrality.

The article only mentioning (predominantly) WMF's position and a number of non-current, encyclopedic, facts about ''Wikinews'' appears to be a NPOV issue. 3. Minor suggestion is to add a note about dates when the consultation started and ended. 4. Similarly to item 2, suggesting to add a summary of what the consultation was about, like, "We think Wikinews is filled by bots and inactive content, and crashed our servers once. We are proposing to either close it or merge it with a sister project." 5. Similarly to item 2, it would seem essential to mention that WMF did not attempt to support Wikinews or approach Wikinews about quality of its output previously. 6. There was some beef between Wikinews RU and WMF.

Similarly to item 2, suggesting to add a summary of what the consultation was about, like, "We think Wikinews is filled by bots and inactive content, and crashed our servers once. We are proposing to either close it or merge it with a sister project." 5. Similarly to item 2, it would seem essential to mention that WMF did not attempt to support Wikinews or approach Wikinews about quality of its output previously. 6.

Some of them are: The title is factually incorrect. It should be Wikimedia Foundation closes Wikinews after 21 years. (Italicise Wikinews). The lede of the article is not only in passive voice, it is not per [[WN:LEDE]]. Similar problems exists towards the end of the article as well where things happen, but it does not answer "who" did it. One of the reasons why that is the case is also because per [[WN:PYRAMID]], "Use punchy, active language to intone a sense of immediacy" while the article uses passive voice at places. Look at the para stating "Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia." -- it is near 100% possibility that anything and everything will receive some sort of criticism -- what needs to be specified is who did it? Where did they do it? Else this behaviour becomes a gateway to saying one's opinion which bypasses neutrality.

Similarly to item 2, it would seem essential to mention that WMF did not attempt to support Wikinews or approach Wikinews about quality of its output previously. 6.

Headline says Wikinews closes. I would suggest renaming it to indicate that it is ''the WMF'' who closes Wikinews. 2. The article barely talks about anyone's response to the event. There have been comments made by people across different Wikinews editions about 2a. what the consultation missed 2b what they are planning to do. The article only mentioning (predominantly) WMF's position and a number of non-current, encyclopedic, facts about ''Wikinews'' appears to be a NPOV issue. 3. Minor suggestion is to add a note about dates when the consultation started and ended. 4. Similarly to item 2, suggesting to add a summary of what the consultation was about, like, "We think Wikinews is filled by bots and inactive content, and crashed our servers once. We are proposing to either close it or merge it with a sister project." 5. Similarly to item 2, it would seem essential to mention that WMF did not attempt to support Wikinews or approach Wikinews about quality of its output previously. 6. There was some beef between Wikinews RU and WMF. Whatever scraps of that can be retrieved, may seem to be essential to include in the article as they may or may not have been a key motivator for the event. 7. Issues with peer review at Wikinews and article delays, which were impeding new contributors, seem worth at least mentioning somewhere towards the bottom of the page. |reviewer-notes=As noted on my user page, I am not planning to perform a full review, and am leaving the comments as a feedback item without expectation for much of my further involvement.

Look at the para stating "Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia." -- it is near 100% possibility that anything and everything will receive some sort of criticism -- what needs to be specified is who did it?

Some of them are: The title is factually incorrect. It should be Wikimedia Foundation closes Wikinews after 21 years. (Italicise Wikinews). The lede of the article is not only in passive voice, it is not per [[WN:LEDE]]. Similar problems exists towards the end of the article as well where things happen, but it does not answer "who" did it. One of the reasons why that is the case is also because per [[WN:PYRAMID]], "Use punchy, active language to intone a sense of immediacy" while the article uses passive voice at places. Look at the para stating "Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia." -- it is near 100% possibility that anything and everything will receive some sort of criticism -- what needs to be specified is who did it? Where did they do it? Else this behaviour becomes a gateway to saying one's opinion which bypasses neutrality.

Headline says Wikinews closes. I would suggest renaming it to indicate that it is ''the WMF'' who closes Wikinews. 2. The article barely talks about anyone's response to the event. There have been comments made by people across different Wikinews editions about 2a. what the consultation missed 2b what they are planning to do. The article only mentioning (predominantly) WMF's position and a number of non-current, encyclopedic, facts about ''Wikinews'' appears to be a NPOV issue. 3. Minor suggestion is to add a note about dates when the consultation started and ended. 4. Similarly to item 2, suggesting to add a summary of what the consultation was about, like, "We think Wikinews is filled by bots and inactive content, and crashed our servers once. We are proposing to either close it or merge it with a sister project." 5. Similarly to item 2, it would seem essential to mention that WMF did not attempt to support Wikinews or approach Wikinews about quality of its output previously. 6. There was some beef between Wikinews RU and WMF. Whatever scraps of that can be retrieved, may seem to be essential to include in the article as they may or may not have been a key motivator for the event. 7. Issues with peer review at Wikinews and article delays, which were impeding new contributors, seem worth at least mentioning somewhere towards the bottom of the page. |reviewer-notes=As noted on my user page, I am not planning to perform a full review, and am leaving the comments as a feedback item without expectation for much of my further involvement.

Headline says Wikinews closes. I would suggest renaming it to indicate that it is ''the WMF'' who closes Wikinews. 2. The article barely talks about anyone's response to the event. There have been comments made by people across different Wikinews editions about 2a. what the consultation missed 2b what they are planning to do. The article only mentioning (predominantly) WMF's position and a number of non-current, encyclopedic, facts about ''Wikinews'' appears to be a NPOV issue. 3. Minor suggestion is to add a note about dates when the consultation started and ended. 4. Similarly to item 2, suggesting to add a summary of what the consultation was about, like, "We think Wikinews is filled by bots and inactive content, and crashed our servers once. We are proposing to either close it or merge it with a sister project." 5. Similarly to item 2, it would seem essential to mention that WMF did not attempt to support Wikinews or approach Wikinews about quality of its output previously. 6. There was some beef between Wikinews RU and WMF. Whatever scraps of that can be retrieved, may seem to be essential to include in the article as they may or may not have been a key motivator for the event. 7. Issues with peer review at Wikinews and article delays, which were impeding new contributors, seem worth at least mentioning somewhere towards the bottom of the page. |reviewer-notes=As noted on my user page, I am not planning to perform a full review, and am leaving the comments as a feedback item without expectation for much of my further involvement.

Look at the para stating "Wikinews received some criticism over the years for not achieving success comparable to its sister project Wikipedia." -- it is near 100% possibility that anything and everything will receive some sort of criticism -- what needs to be specified is who did it?

A 45-55 cumulative split, with enwn and zhwn having more userviews than spidercrawls would mean the "most" qualifier (which is subjective, and in the hindsight, it would have been better if we provided direct stats, than to worry about how much difference is big enough to be registered as "most") shouldn't be placed here. But yeah, ''instead of the subjective interpretation of taking 45-55 being not that huge of a difference to warrant most, and more would have been apt'', I think it would be more useful to drop ruwn from that line.

See [[Wikinews talk:2026 Wind-down Wikinews#Our Archives]] and/or [[Wikinews:Water cooler/technical#DPL, our archives, and potential bot use]] and weigh in if you can. Update April 25, 2026: The plan is to utilize a bot.

DPL searches for pages containing DPL did not reflect this. Dexbot has however, and appears to be going through them. There are still a few thousand pages being reported to contain DPL and that number is not decreasing in-line with the amount of pages Dexbot is editing. Example: * [{{fullurl:Portal:New Zealand|redirect=no}} Portal:New Zealand] (Redirect) ** [[:Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:New Zealand/]] (List of sub-pages for Portal:New Zealand) I am still trying to figure out how many portals are configured in a similar way. I have found that often these portal pages will contain a subpage titled "Wikipedia" that will contain a DPL. For example: * [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Florida/Wikipedia&oldid=616477 Portal:Florida/Wikipedia] (old version) used a DPL to list the articles == 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.

However, the redirect pages have subpages (which don't appear to be linked anywhere), that are organized by date, similar to the [[WN:Archives]]. See also [[#Portals|below]] |- | Infoboxes || (see below) |} Pages using DPL: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages using the DynamicPageList extension}} A note on that number: Working through the list I've come across some difficulties. [[:Category:Pages using the DynamicPageList extension]] seems to persistently list some pages as using DPL, despite DPL being removed. I noticed it initially with templates, which also previously used FlaggedRevs, though that has been recently disabled for templates. See [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T423512 phab T423512] and [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Limit the FlaggedRevs extension to the article namespace?|disabling FlaggedRevs in the template namespace]]. The broke-around I'm implementing in some cases is to move the current template and recreate it with a copy/paste and that seems to flush the template out of the category. However, I just found numerous [[User:Michael.C.Wright/maintenance#Categories|categories]] that still report having DPL. I likely don't have the time to get through that entire list and I'm not sure it's worth it to re-open the ticket and get help, given that 1. DPL is no longer supported and 2. [[Wikinews:Water cooler/miscellaneous#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|pending closure of the project]]. If someone else wants to jump into that problem, please do. Otherwise, we may just let it ride and see how the categories react to DPL being disabled. Not an ideal solution... === 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/or [[Wikinews:Water cooler/technical#DPL, our archives, and potential bot use]] and weigh in if you can. Update April 25, 2026: The plan is to utilize a bot. See [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#Proposal to unblock bot for final DPL cleanup]], [[phabricator:T421796]], and [[Special:Contributions/Dexbot]]. === 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. {{Ping|Michael.C.Wright}} See [[:phab:T421796#11825297]]. {| class="wikitable" !

DPL searches for pages containing DPL did not reflect this. Dexbot has however, and appears to be going through them. There are still a few thousand pages being reported to contain DPL and that number is not decreasing in-line with the amount of pages Dexbot is editing. Example: * [{{fullurl:Portal:New Zealand|redirect=no}} Portal:New Zealand] (Redirect) ** [[:Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:New Zealand/]] (List of sub-pages for Portal:New Zealand) I am still trying to figure out how many portals are configured in a similar way. I have found that often these portal pages will contain a subpage titled "Wikipedia" that will contain a DPL. For example: * [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Florida/Wikipedia&oldid=616477 Portal:Florida/Wikipedia] (old version) used a DPL to list the articles == Archive published articles == We should archive all published articles and make sure the quality is at the level we want it to be. See [[Wikinews:Archive conventions]] for instructions on the archival process. This will require someone who is both a reviewer and admin to complete, as admin can't sight changes and published articles are protected to admin-only. In addition to the below list, there are categories of "archived-but-not-really-archived" articles that could be addressed: * [[:Category:Archived-bot]] * [[:Category:AutoArchived]] * [[:Category:Archived by Gryllida]] Published, but not archived articles: *24 April 2026: [[Pope Leo XIV visits four nations in Africa]] *15 April 2026: [[United States announces blockade on the Strait of Hormuz]] *24 March 2026: [[Musique Libre Femmes plays for Women's History Month at Tompkins Square Library in New York City]] *22 March 2026: [[South Korean military halts small firearms drills after stray bullet strikes young girl on playground]] *21 March 2026: [["One Battle After Another" wins 6 Oscars including Best Picture]] *18 March 2026: [[Caloundra win round 3 game in Australian soccer's Football Queensland Premier League 2 competition]] *16 March 2026: [[Boats carrying Kyoto students capsize off Okinawa, fatalities reported]] *13 March 2026: [[Australian Minister for Energy lowers fuel standards for 60 days amid rising oil prices, panic buying]] *12 March 2026: [[US president Donald Trump demands the unconditional surrender of Iran]] *12 March 2026: [[NSW government proposes rezoning to create residences midway between Sydney and Parramatta]] *11 March 2026: [[Caloundra lose round 2 game in Australian soccer's Football Queensland Premier League 2 competition]] *10 March 2026: [[Australia grants refuge to five Iranian women's national soccer team players]] *10 March 2026: [[Moreton Bay illegally evicted homeless campers, Queensland Supreme Court rules]] *9 March 2026: [[Monta publishes its 2025 EV charger ranking, including hardware performance]] *12 February 2026: [[Poets gather for reading at Ray's Pizza in New York City]] *11 February 2026: [[Göbeklitepe, Taş Tepeler and life 12,000 years ago exhibition opens in Berlin, Germany]] *10 February 2026: [["Media and Tenkil" exhibit opens in Hanau, Germany]] *15 January 2026: [[Grateful Dead rhythm guitarist Bob Weir dies, aged 78]] *15 January 2026: [[Roblox player uncovers cheating, awarded Guinness World Record]] *6 January 2026: [["I came to be the manager ... not the coach": Manchester United fire head coach Ruben Amorim]] *5 January 2026: [[Kyiv street to be named for former Ukrainian parliament chairman Andriy Parubiy, killed in Lviv]] *5 January 2026: [[United States capture Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro]] *3 January 2026: [[Residents shelter in place for hours after gas leak outside of Los Angeles]] *3 January 2026: [[Keyboardist-guitarist of English rock band The Cure dies aged 65]] *28 December 2025: [[Opposition leader Tarique Rahman returns to Bangladesh after 17 years]] *27 December 2025: [[Knife and chemical attack at a factory in Japan]] *26 December 2025: [[United States, Florida: A man fatally stabs a Barnes & Noble bookstore shopper, claims 'no cause' to police]] *26 December 2025: [[Mexican Navy medical plane with children transported for Michou and Mau Foundation crashes off Texas coast]] *25 December 2025: [[Protests erupt in New Delhi, envoy summoned following lynching of Hindu man in Bangladesh]] *25 December 2025: [[Kennedy Center gets renamed to Trump-Kennedy Center]] *18 November 2025: [[Turkish military transport plane crashes near Georgia border, 20 dead]] *6 June 2025: [[Activists claim sexual abuse and torture at the hands of Tanzanian authorities]] [[Category:Wikinews]] bloemqu0vm23qr47tvdga4yr38m8wd6 10 3092036 5024591 5011923 2026-05-03T23:59:59Z Gryllida 160590 Updating Lead1 with [[Wikimedia Foundation closes Wikinews after 21 years]] ([[User:Asked42/LeadManager|Lead Manager]]) 5024591 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Lead 2.0 |id = 1 <!-- Do not change.
