You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

Due to the time lapse between now and when the article was written, I don't expect it to be deemed newsworthy now. However, at the time of the review you must have missed that the actual focal event of the story occurred the day before the story was written (or on the day of, if you take time zones into account), not 10 days before as you claimed. Apologies about the late reply. [[User:Hb881uow|Hb881uow]] ([[User talk:Hb881uow|talk]]) 12:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC) : I responded to this where it was also raised on the article's talk page, but I'll repeat here. :* There was a misunderstanding, but it looks as if the article was legitimately past [[WN:freshness|freshness]] at the time of review. The focal event seems to have taken place on the 16th, and the review was on the 20th. Sometimes we have more articles submitted in a short time than we can handle, and that's been a constant state of things for the past couple of weeks or so, with UoW student articles. (I've seen articles lost this way even when there are lots more reviewers; there's a lot of latent demand for what Wikinews supplies, so that however much reviewer labor we can bring to bear on a regular basis, after a while the volume of submission will expand to exceed supply. We do need to improve the efficiency of our operation, so we can do more with the same amount of reviewer labor, and I have some plans I'm pursuing for how we might do that; but even if I succeed, we'll do better, things will pick up, and ''still'' I expect some articles will get missed from time to time.) :* It's clear how the misunderstanding would have happened about being ten days old at the time of review.

I think I just got a retaliatory review rejection. I was fully expecting that if any specific reviewers don't want to work with me ''for any reason'' that they just wouldn't review my work, and drafts I composed would have a smaller pool of reviewers, making them more likely to age out. That's not great, but what can you do? I was not expecting someone to hit reject just because they're pissed off at me, and I think that's what just happened. The reviewer said, among other things, that the words "black" and "white" are too non-neutral to use in Wikinews' voice (it's an article that ties into the Ferguson riots, in which race featured heavily). This same reviewer has approved articles that used those words in Wikinews' voice before, with no mention of any inherent neutrality problems. I think it's because I corrected a previous reviewer when they thought my grammar was wrong (it wasn't, and to said previous reviewer's credit, they seem to be politely entertaining the sources I showed them on English usage, though I don't think I changed their mind). So my request of ArbCom is this: What should a drafter do when given a review that they reasonably believe was made for reasons other than the suitability of the article? Like you said, we're all volunteers here. What is the customary dispute resolution process? [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 05:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC) :Well, FWIW, I remember the first time when I had to write "black" for a person with darker skin complexion. It was very hard, as for writing in my journal, I could add comments for explaining to myself, but when transferring to on-wiki, I did not say "black", tried to explain it, which became complex, and added a comment, which I would generally not do (as I am generally available on IRC for discussing any issues with the reviewer). The reviewer, replaced that entire explanation and said in the summary that "usage of 'black' was okay in this context." The thing to learn is: is it okay in the context? And just because something was done once does not automatically mean same thing can be repeated again. (We all learn from what happened in the past).<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•&ndash;•</span>]] 06:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC) ::Yeeeeeeah, context does matter, but when the reviewer says "The lede doesn't say when the death took place" and it's right there "October 17" and "the lede doesn't say who McKinnies is" and it's right there "the victim is the son of activist Melissa McKinnies" and "hey this isn't attributed" when it says right there "according to a federal report," I start to think maybe the reviewer showed up to reject the article.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]].

Due to the time lapse between now and when the article was written, I don't expect it to be deemed newsworthy now. However, at the time of the review you must have missed that the actual focal event of the story occurred the day before the story was written (or on the day of, if you take time zones into account), not 10 days before as you claimed. Apologies about the late reply. [[User:Hb881uow|Hb881uow]] ([[User talk:Hb881uow|talk]]) 12:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC) : I responded to this where it was also raised on the article's talk page, but I'll repeat here. :* There was a misunderstanding, but it looks as if the article was legitimately past [[WN:freshness|freshness]] at the time of review. The focal event seems to have taken place on the 16th, and the review was on the 20th. Sometimes we have more articles submitted in a short time than we can handle, and that's been a constant state of things for the past couple of weeks or so, with UoW student articles. (I've seen articles lost this way even when there are lots more reviewers; there's a lot of latent demand for what Wikinews supplies, so that however much reviewer labor we can bring to bear on a regular basis, after a while the volume of submission will expand to exceed supply. We do need to improve the efficiency of our operation, so we can do more with the same amount of reviewer labor, and I have some plans I'm pursuing for how we might do that; but even if I succeed, we'll do better, things will pick up, and ''still'' I expect some articles will get missed from time to time.) :* It's clear how the misunderstanding would have happened about being ten days old at the time of review. Our [[WN:style guide|style guide]] specifies that sources are to be listed from newest to oldest, so that the first one listed is the most recently published source; in this case, though, the articles were in the opposite order, with the oldest first; and the oldest was indeed about ten days before the article was submitted. : --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC) == Anthrax article == ...is stale. :-( &nbsp;--[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 15:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC) == Hey how are ya == Hey Bddpaux, glad to see you're active on the wiki and especially nice to see your participation and help over at [[Wikinews:Featured article candidates]], much appreciated!

I think I just got a retaliatory review rejection. I was fully expecting that if any specific reviewers don't want to work with me ''for any reason'' that they just wouldn't review my work, and drafts I composed would have a smaller pool of reviewers, making them more likely to age out. That's not great, but what can you do? I was not expecting someone to hit reject just because they're pissed off at me, and I think that's what just happened. The reviewer said, among other things, that the words "black" and "white" are too non-neutral to use in Wikinews' voice (it's an article that ties into the Ferguson riots, in which race featured heavily). This same reviewer has approved articles that used those words in Wikinews' voice before, with no mention of any inherent neutrality problems. I think it's because I corrected a previous reviewer when they thought my grammar was wrong (it wasn't, and to said previous reviewer's credit, they seem to be politely entertaining the sources I showed them on English usage, though I don't think I changed their mind). So my request of ArbCom is this: What should a drafter do when given a review that they reasonably believe was made for reasons other than the suitability of the article? Like you said, we're all volunteers here. What is the customary dispute resolution process? [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 05:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC) :Well, FWIW, I remember the first time when I had to write "black" for a person with darker skin complexion. It was very hard, as for writing in my journal, I could add comments for explaining to myself, but when transferring to on-wiki, I did not say "black", tried to explain it, which became complex, and added a comment, which I would generally not do (as I am generally available on IRC for discussing any issues with the reviewer). The reviewer, replaced that entire explanation and said in the summary that "usage of 'black' was okay in this context." The thing to learn is: is it okay in the context? And just because something was done once does not automatically mean same thing can be repeated again. (We all learn from what happened in the past).<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•&ndash;•</span>]] 06:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC) ::Yeeeeeeah, context does matter, but when the reviewer says "The lede doesn't say when the death took place" and it's right there "October 17" and "the lede doesn't say who McKinnies is" and it's right there "the victim is the son of activist Melissa McKinnies" and "hey this isn't attributed" when it says right there "according to a federal report," I start to think maybe the reviewer showed up to reject the article.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

Due to the time lapse between now and when the article was written, I don't expect it to be deemed newsworthy now. However, at the time of the review you must have missed that the actual focal event of the story occurred the day before the story was written (or on the day of, if you take time zones into account), not 10 days before as you claimed. Apologies about the late reply. [[User:Hb881uow|Hb881uow]] ([[User talk:Hb881uow|talk]]) 12:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC) : I responded to this where it was also raised on the article's talk page, but I'll repeat here. :* There was a misunderstanding, but it looks as if the article was legitimately past [[WN:freshness|freshness]] at the time of review. The focal event seems to have taken place on the 16th, and the review was on the 20th. Sometimes we have more articles submitted in a short time than we can handle, and that's been a constant state of things for the past couple of weeks or so, with UoW student articles. (I've seen articles lost this way even when there are lots more reviewers; there's a lot of latent demand for what Wikinews supplies, so that however much reviewer labor we can bring to bear on a regular basis, after a while the volume of submission will expand to exceed supply. We do need to improve the efficiency of our operation, so we can do more with the same amount of reviewer labor, and I have some plans I'm pursuing for how we might do that; but even if I succeed, we'll do better, things will pick up, and ''still'' I expect some articles will get missed from time to time.) :* It's clear how the misunderstanding would have happened about being ten days old at the time of review. Our [[WN:style guide|style guide]] specifies that sources are to be listed from newest to oldest, so that the first one listed is the most recently published source; in this case, though, the articles were in the opposite order, with the oldest first; and the oldest was indeed about ten days before the article was submitted. : --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC) == Anthrax article == ...is stale. :-( &nbsp;--[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 15:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC) == Hey how are ya == Hey Bddpaux, glad to see you're active on the wiki and especially nice to see your participation and help over at [[Wikinews:Featured article candidates]], much appreciated!

I think I just got a retaliatory review rejection. I was fully expecting that if any specific reviewers don't want to work with me ''for any reason'' that they just wouldn't review my work, and drafts I composed would have a smaller pool of reviewers, making them more likely to age out. That's not great, but what can you do? I was not expecting someone to hit reject just because they're pissed off at me, and I think that's what just happened. The reviewer said, among other things, that the words "black" and "white" are too non-neutral to use in Wikinews' voice (it's an article that ties into the Ferguson riots, in which race featured heavily). This same reviewer has approved articles that used those words in Wikinews' voice before, with no mention of any inherent neutrality problems. I think it's because I corrected a previous reviewer when they thought my grammar was wrong (it wasn't, and to said previous reviewer's credit, they seem to be politely entertaining the sources I showed them on English usage, though I don't think I changed their mind). So my request of ArbCom is this: What should a drafter do when given a review that they reasonably believe was made for reasons other than the suitability of the article? Like you said, we're all volunteers here. What is the customary dispute resolution process? [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 05:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC) :Well, FWIW, I remember the first time when I had to write "black" for a person with darker skin complexion. It was very hard, as for writing in my journal, I could add comments for explaining to myself, but when transferring to on-wiki, I did not say "black", tried to explain it, which became complex, and added a comment, which I would generally not do (as I am generally available on IRC for discussing any issues with the reviewer). The reviewer, replaced that entire explanation and said in the summary that "usage of 'black' was okay in this context." The thing to learn is: is it okay in the context? And just because something was done once does not automatically mean same thing can be repeated again. (We all learn from what happened in the past).<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•&ndash;•</span>]] 06:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC) ::Yeeeeeeah, context does matter, but when the reviewer says "The lede doesn't say when the death took place" and it's right there "October 17" and "the lede doesn't say who McKinnies is" and it's right there "the victim is the son of activist Melissa McKinnies" and "hey this isn't attributed" when it says right there "according to a federal report," I start to think maybe the reviewer showed up to reject the article.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

Due to the time lapse between now and when the article was written, I don't expect it to be deemed newsworthy now. However, at the time of the review you must have missed that the actual focal event of the story occurred the day before the story was written (or on the day of, if you take time zones into account), not 10 days before as you claimed. Apologies about the late reply. [[User:Hb881uow|Hb881uow]] ([[User talk:Hb881uow|talk]]) 12:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC) : I responded to this where it was also raised on the article's talk page, but I'll repeat here. :* There was a misunderstanding, but it looks as if the article was legitimately past [[WN:freshness|freshness]] at the time of review. The focal event seems to have taken place on the 16th, and the review was on the 20th. Sometimes we have more articles submitted in a short time than we can handle, and that's been a constant state of things for the past couple of weeks or so, with UoW student articles. (I've seen articles lost this way even when there are lots more reviewers; there's a lot of latent demand for what Wikinews supplies, so that however much reviewer labor we can bring to bear on a regular basis, after a while the volume of submission will expand to exceed supply. We do need to improve the efficiency of our operation, so we can do more with the same amount of reviewer labor, and I have some plans I'm pursuing for how we might do that; but even if I succeed, we'll do better, things will pick up, and ''still'' I expect some articles will get missed from time to time.) :* It's clear how the misunderstanding would have happened about being ten days old at the time of review. Our [[WN:style guide|style guide]] specifies that sources are to be listed from newest to oldest, so that the first one listed is the most recently published source; in this case, though, the articles were in the opposite order, with the oldest first; and the oldest was indeed about ten days before the article was submitted. : --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC) == Anthrax article == ...is stale. :-( &nbsp;--[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 15:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC) == Hey how are ya == Hey Bddpaux, glad to see you're active on the wiki and especially nice to see your participation and help over at [[Wikinews:Featured article candidates]], much appreciated!

I think I just got a retaliatory review rejection. I was fully expecting that if any specific reviewers don't want to work with me ''for any reason'' that they just wouldn't review my work, and drafts I composed would have a smaller pool of reviewers, making them more likely to age out. That's not great, but what can you do? I was not expecting someone to hit reject just because they're pissed off at me, and I think that's what just happened. The reviewer said, among other things, that the words "black" and "white" are too non-neutral to use in Wikinews' voice (it's an article that ties into the Ferguson riots, in which race featured heavily). This same reviewer has approved articles that used those words in Wikinews' voice before, with no mention of any inherent neutrality problems. I think it's because I corrected a previous reviewer when they thought my grammar was wrong (it wasn't, and to said previous reviewer's credit, they seem to be politely entertaining the sources I showed them on English usage, though I don't think I changed their mind). So my request of ArbCom is this: What should a drafter do when given a review that they reasonably believe was made for reasons other than the suitability of the article? Like you said, we're all volunteers here. What is the customary dispute resolution process? [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 05:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC) :Well, FWIW, I remember the first time when I had to write "black" for a person with darker skin complexion. It was very hard, as for writing in my journal, I could add comments for explaining to myself, but when transferring to on-wiki, I did not say "black", tried to explain it, which became complex, and added a comment, which I would generally not do (as I am generally available on IRC for discussing any issues with the reviewer). The reviewer, replaced that entire explanation and said in the summary that "usage of 'black' was okay in this context." The thing to learn is: is it okay in the context?

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

Due to the time lapse between now and when the article was written, I don't expect it to be deemed newsworthy now. However, at the time of the review you must have missed that the actual focal event of the story occurred the day before the story was written (or on the day of, if you take time zones into account), not 10 days before as you claimed. Apologies about the late reply. [[User:Hb881uow|Hb881uow]] ([[User talk:Hb881uow|talk]]) 12:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC) : I responded to this where it was also raised on the article's talk page, but I'll repeat here. :* There was a misunderstanding, but it looks as if the article was legitimately past [[WN:freshness|freshness]] at the time of review. The focal event seems to have taken place on the 16th, and the review was on the 20th. Sometimes we have more articles submitted in a short time than we can handle, and that's been a constant state of things for the past couple of weeks or so, with UoW student articles. (I've seen articles lost this way even when there are lots more reviewers; there's a lot of latent demand for what Wikinews supplies, so that however much reviewer labor we can bring to bear on a regular basis, after a while the volume of submission will expand to exceed supply. We do need to improve the efficiency of our operation, so we can do more with the same amount of reviewer labor, and I have some plans I'm pursuing for how we might do that; but even if I succeed, we'll do better, things will pick up, and ''still'' I expect some articles will get missed from time to time.) :* It's clear how the misunderstanding would have happened about being ten days old at the time of review. Our [[WN:style guide|style guide]] specifies that sources are to be listed from newest to oldest, so that the first one listed is the most recently published source; in this case, though, the articles were in the opposite order, with the oldest first; and the oldest was indeed about ten days before the article was submitted. : --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 14:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC) == Anthrax article == ...is stale. :-( &nbsp;--[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|talk]]) 15:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC) == Hey how are ya == Hey Bddpaux, glad to see you're active on the wiki and especially nice to see your participation and help over at [[Wikinews:Featured article candidates]], much appreciated!

I think I just got a retaliatory review rejection. I was fully expecting that if any specific reviewers don't want to work with me ''for any reason'' that they just wouldn't review my work, and drafts I composed would have a smaller pool of reviewers, making them more likely to age out. That's not great, but what can you do? I was not expecting someone to hit reject just because they're pissed off at me, and I think that's what just happened. The reviewer said, among other things, that the words "black" and "white" are too non-neutral to use in Wikinews' voice (it's an article that ties into the Ferguson riots, in which race featured heavily). This same reviewer has approved articles that used those words in Wikinews' voice before, with no mention of any inherent neutrality problems. I think it's because I corrected a previous reviewer when they thought my grammar was wrong (it wasn't, and to said previous reviewer's credit, they seem to be politely entertaining the sources I showed them on English usage, though I don't think I changed their mind). So my request of ArbCom is this: What should a drafter do when given a review that they reasonably believe was made for reasons other than the suitability of the article? Like you said, we're all volunteers here. What is the customary dispute resolution process? [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 05:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC) :Well, FWIW, I remember the first time when I had to write "black" for a person with darker skin complexion. It was very hard, as for writing in my journal, I could add comments for explaining to myself, but when transferring to on-wiki, I did not say "black", tried to explain it, which became complex, and added a comment, which I would generally not do (as I am generally available on IRC for discussing any issues with the reviewer). The reviewer, replaced that entire explanation and said in the summary that "usage of 'black' was okay in this context." The thing to learn is: is it okay in the context? And just because something was done once does not automatically mean same thing can be repeated again. (We all learn from what happened in the past).<br>[[User talk:Acagastya|<span style="color: #000; box-shadow: 0 0 7px #5de; padding-left:2.5px; padding-right:2.5px; border-radius:10px;">•&ndash;•</span>]] 06:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC) ::Yeeeeeeah, context does matter, but when the reviewer says "The lede doesn't say when the death took place" and it's right there "October 17" and "the lede doesn't say who McKinnies is" and it's right there "the victim is the son of activist Melissa McKinnies" and "hey this isn't attributed" when it says right there "according to a federal report," I start to think maybe the reviewer showed up to reject the article.

The city of [[w:Tyler, Texas|Tyler]] and surrounding area have seen at least eight days of rain thus far in June. This, following 4 consecutive summers where drought conditions racked much of the state's farms. Dale Barnes manages a produce stand found at Old Main Street Market in the city of [[w:Chandler, Texas|Chandler]]. On Saturday, he told ''Wikinews'' that many local growers have complained of recent heavy rains damaging crops by causing "rot or mildew." However, Barnes stated most farmers selling at the market are presently selling 60 - 80% of what their farms will produce for the entire season. The same day, a Tyler man said, "I'm not a farmer, but this rain has been making my yard grow so fast, I can barely keep it mowed." Rice farmers in the southern part of the state have praised recent rainfall, reducing the heavy expense of irrigation. Lake Sam Rayburn, a reservoir upon which many Texans depend is presently full, for the first time in five years. All week central Texas farmers and ranchers have been praising above average rainfall for this time of year. Some are even expecting record crops thanks to the recent rains. Robert Fleming, a rancher in central Texas told reporters he expects his corn crop this year to be "record breaking" due to heavy rains. A representative from the Texas Farm Bureau told reporters that farmers attitudes around the state are positive. He added, "Rain will do that." {{haveyoursay}} == Related news == * {{wikinews|title=Rains visit much of Texas, but most of state still in drought|date=June 10, 2014}} == Sister links == {{sisters |Summer 2012 North American heat wave |2010–13 Southern United States drought }} == Sources == *{{source|url=http://www.kfdm.com/shared/news/top-stories/stories/kfdm_vid_10609.shtml |title=Rain helps southeast Texas rice farmers |author=Lauren Huet |pub=KFDM.com |date=June 26, 2014 }} *{{source|url=http://www.kcentv.com/story/25892183/farmers-seeing-record-crops-thanks-to-recent-rains |title=Farmers seeing record crops thanks to recent rains |author=Tiffany Pelts |pub=KCEN.com |date=June 27,2014 }} {{original}} pvgd0c0y25r9gn2ncscl7yp0u2nf6om User talk:Dylan620 public or mobile 3 1954040 4686405 3268861 2022-08-11T00:38:13Z QueerEcofeminist 290008 QueerEcofeminist moved page [[User talk:Dylan620 II]] to [[User talk:Dylan620 public or mobile]]: Automatically moved page while renaming the user "[[Special:CentralAuth/Dylan620 II|Dylan620 II]]" to "[[Special:CentralAuth/Dylan620 public or mobile|Dylan620 public or mobile]]" wikitext text/x-wiki {{Template:Welcome|realName=|name=Dylan620 II}} -- [[User:Wikinews Welcome|Wikinews Welcome]] ([[User talk:Wikinews Welcome|talk]]) 15:53, 26 February 2015 (UTC) k3lucxy6vjhbd8yyeuniatk5zirc15k User:Bddpaux/sandbox5 2 2851049 4686348 4623610 2022-08-10T18:44:13Z Bddpaux 112744 wikitext text/x-wiki Thirteen people were indicted in federal court this week for allegedly using false documents to obtain employment in the {{w|United States|US}}.

[[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 04:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC) == Reviews == Hello J.J., I wanted to thank you for your frequent and timely reviews of submitted articles as well as the great amount of attention to detail you put into them. You are truly a great asset to Wikinews. While I am indeed grateful, we seem to have some minor differences in opinion which I will list below. I am pinging {{re|Cromium|Acagastya}} so they can interject and say if anything I tell you here is incorrect or obsolete. (I go through periods of absence, so it's possible things change without me knowing.) #<u>The [[WN:LEDE]] or opening paragraph</u>. I have noticed that you seem to invariably change the opening paragraph to a single sentence. Policy specifies the lede should answer the [[WN:5Ws|5Ws]]. Sometimes this is too much information for a single sentence and in most cases a paragraph ought not be a single sentence. #<u>Crediting images</u>. In the past, it was implored upon me to begin crediting the author of images including a courtesy link to an appropriate page. This could be a Commons user page or even an external site such as {{w|Flickr}} or anywhere someone chose to share their images under a free license. There is ample precedent for doing just that on Wikinews (Wikipedia doesn't do it). For an example, look at [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Thousands_march_in_anti-Brexit_protest%2C_London&type=revision&diff=4472933&oldid=4472932 this edit]. #<u>Renaming before publishing</u>. When you rename an article prior to publishing, there's no reason to leave a redirect. In my opinion, it can only serve to clutter the situation. ''After'' publication is a different matter, since there are (believe it or not) sites who mirror Wikinews and/or reference us, so after we publish we should keep all prior names to avoid breaking their links back to Wikinews. #<u>Linking to past articles in text</u>. I must admit, I am really unsure about this one. Yes, 'related news' serves the same function, but in some cases the alternative seems to be linking to a Wikipedia article. It's surely a habit I can easily break. Well, that's really it. You are doing a great job here. In today's review, however, you said "Why antiquated formatting?" and I do not know what you meant there. Cheers, --[[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 21:53, 23 March 2022 (UTC) :Thank you for your compliments. Recognise that I myself have only started editing in Dec 2020, and our periods of activity have almost entirely missed each other. :1. I personally recognise a sizeable opening paragraph to be clunky and unnecessary, particularly as major news sources: BBC, NYT, CNN, Reuters, AP, France 24, the Independent ''without exception'' adopt this format. For me, if I can cut the opening paragraph to one sentence, and that means retaining much of the information except the 'how' and 'why', I would. I recognise this is a contentious decision but it's one of those decisions I've taken on initiative. For me, the opening paragraph can address the 'who', 'what' and 'when': the context comes later. But ''de jure'', by all means make an opening paragraph five sentences as allowed in the [[Wikinews:Style Guide]], or review articles that follow that custom. :2. I shy away from external links in articles out of principle, and especially because I have anecdotally never seen anyone link to one in photo credits. Again, I wasn't around for 2019. :3. Redirects are automatically generated when moving an article. I'm not an admin, I can't delete them. Trust me, I don't like seeing pre-pubs either. :4. Again, personal style—and the alternative I'd argue wouldn't be a Wikipedia link, that'd fall under sister links. :5. 'Antiquated formatting' refers to the use of [[c:Category:xxx instead of just [[. I call it antiquated because I'm pretentious :p [[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 03:30, 24 March 2022 (UTC) ::Thanks for your reply. as to number 3, you can just uncheck the box that says "Leave a redirect" ... you don't have to delete anything.

Looks like they are the primary source of the news about the communication between Mr Elon Musk and employees. It could be that Electrek is wrong. (cf. [[Wikinews:Attribution]]). :* Even in headline I was tempted to write "''Elon Musk '''reportedly''' emails Tesla employees return to office, or "assume you have resigned"''", adding word 'reportedly' and replacing 'emails tell' with 'emails' as a verb. Sounds a bit awkward. I hope it illustrates the point that I'm trying to make. :-- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 09:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC) ::* CNN wrote Electrek was the '''first''' to publish the emails, which could indicate corroboration; Reuters outright confirmed them through two sources. Further, Musk appeared to confirm their legitimacy. All this indicates whilst Electrek are and deserve to be mentioned, they are by no means the sole source and cross-examination of this sort greatly favours their sincerity. In journalism, leaks often come from one source (for instance, the Daily Mirror's Pippa Crerar played an important role in exposing Partygate). ::* 'Emails' are a noun in this instance; Elon Musk emails (as in, emails attributed to Elon Musk) tell (the emails say) Tesla employees return to office, or "assume you have resigned".

[[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 04:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC) == Reviews == Hello J.J., I wanted to thank you for your frequent and timely reviews of submitted articles as well as the great amount of attention to detail you put into them. You are truly a great asset to Wikinews. While I am indeed grateful, we seem to have some minor differences in opinion which I will list below. I am pinging {{re|Cromium|Acagastya}} so they can interject and say if anything I tell you here is incorrect or obsolete. (I go through periods of absence, so it's possible things change without me knowing.) #<u>The [[WN:LEDE]] or opening paragraph</u>. I have noticed that you seem to invariably change the opening paragraph to a single sentence. Policy specifies the lede should answer the [[WN:5Ws|5Ws]]. Sometimes this is too much information for a single sentence and in most cases a paragraph ought not be a single sentence. #<u>Crediting images</u>. In the past, it was implored upon me to begin crediting the author of images including a courtesy link to an appropriate page. This could be a Commons user page or even an external site such as {{w|Flickr}} or anywhere someone chose to share their images under a free license. There is ample precedent for doing just that on Wikinews (Wikipedia doesn't do it). For an example, look at [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Thousands_march_in_anti-Brexit_protest%2C_London&type=revision&diff=4472933&oldid=4472932 this edit]. #<u>Renaming before publishing</u>. When you rename an article prior to publishing, there's no reason to leave a redirect. In my opinion, it can only serve to clutter the situation. ''After'' publication is a different matter, since there are (believe it or not) sites who mirror Wikinews and/or reference us, so after we publish we should keep all prior names to avoid breaking their links back to Wikinews. #<u>Linking to past articles in text</u>. I must admit, I am really unsure about this one. Yes, 'related news' serves the same function, but in some cases the alternative seems to be linking to a Wikipedia article. It's surely a habit I can easily break. Well, that's really it. You are doing a great job here. In today's review, however, you said "Why antiquated formatting?" and I do not know what you meant there. Cheers, --[[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 21:53, 23 March 2022 (UTC) :Thank you for your compliments. Recognise that I myself have only started editing in Dec 2020, and our periods of activity have almost entirely missed each other. :1. I personally recognise a sizeable opening paragraph to be clunky and unnecessary, particularly as major news sources: BBC, NYT, CNN, Reuters, AP, France 24, the Independent ''without exception'' adopt this format. For me, if I can cut the opening paragraph to one sentence, and that means retaining much of the information except the 'how' and 'why', I would. I recognise this is a contentious decision but it's one of those decisions I've taken on initiative. For me, the opening paragraph can address the 'who', 'what' and 'when': the context comes later. But ''de jure'', by all means make an opening paragraph five sentences as allowed in the [[Wikinews:Style Guide]], or review articles that follow that custom. :2. I shy away from external links in articles out of principle, and especially because I have anecdotally never seen anyone link to one in photo credits. Again, I wasn't around for 2019. :3. Redirects are automatically generated when moving an article. I'm not an admin, I can't delete them. Trust me, I don't like seeing pre-pubs either. :4. Again, personal style—and the alternative I'd argue wouldn't be a Wikipedia link, that'd fall under sister links. :5. 'Antiquated formatting' refers to the use of [[c:Category:xxx instead of just [[.

Looks like they are the primary source of the news about the communication between Mr Elon Musk and employees. It could be that Electrek is wrong. (cf. [[Wikinews:Attribution]]). :* Even in headline I was tempted to write "''Elon Musk '''reportedly''' emails Tesla employees return to office, or "assume you have resigned"''", adding word 'reportedly' and replacing 'emails tell' with 'emails' as a verb. Sounds a bit awkward. I hope it illustrates the point that I'm trying to make. :-- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 09:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC) ::* CNN wrote Electrek was the '''first''' to publish the emails, which could indicate corroboration; Reuters outright confirmed them through two sources. Further, Musk appeared to confirm their legitimacy. All this indicates whilst Electrek are and deserve to be mentioned, they are by no means the sole source and cross-examination of this sort greatly favours their sincerity. In journalism, leaks often come from one source (for instance, the Daily Mirror's Pippa Crerar played an important role in exposing Partygate). ::* 'Emails' are a noun in this instance; Elon Musk emails (as in, emails attributed to Elon Musk) tell (the emails say) Tesla employees return to office, or "assume you have resigned".

As a reviewer, this note is just to let you know we are implementing a trial from February 1 to April 30 to encourage more articles to be published per the outcome of a current [[:Special:Diff/4659525|proposal]]. The minimum requirements for [[:WN:LENGTH|article length]] will be one paragraph of at least a hundred words. At the end of the trial the requirements will return to normal (3 paragraphs etc) and there will be an evaluation discussion about the trial. Happy reviewing! ['''[[:User:Cromium|<sub>24</sub>Cr]]''']['''[[:User talk:Cromium|talk]]'''] 23:14, 31 January 2022 (UTC) == Israeli PM article == Sorry that went stale! Historically, you don't like to create branches/spin offs to re-freshen articles. I only gave it a cursory glance. Uncertain if there would even be enough extra chatter to branch into a new article, but at least try to save some of that stuff for another article down the road. I hate to see that level of work end up in the recycle bin!--[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]] ([[User talk:Bddpaux|talk]]) 19:31, 26 February 2022 (UTC) :No bother. [[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 04:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC) == Reviews == Hello J.J., I wanted to thank you for your frequent and timely reviews of submitted articles as well as the great amount of attention to detail you put into them. You are truly a great asset to Wikinews. While I am indeed grateful, we seem to have some minor differences in opinion which I will list below. I am pinging {{re|Cromium|Acagastya}} so they can interject and say if anything I tell you here is incorrect or obsolete. (I go through periods of absence, so it's possible things change without me knowing.) #<u>The [[WN:LEDE]] or opening paragraph</u>. I have noticed that you seem to invariably change the opening paragraph to a single sentence. Policy specifies the lede should answer the [[WN:5Ws|5Ws]]. Sometimes this is too much information for a single sentence and in most cases a paragraph ought not be a single sentence. #<u>Crediting images</u>. In the past, it was implored upon me to begin crediting the author of images including a courtesy link to an appropriate page. This could be a Commons user page or even an external site such as {{w|Flickr}} or anywhere someone chose to share their images under a free license. There is ample precedent for doing just that on Wikinews (Wikipedia doesn't do it). For an example, look at [https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Thousands_march_in_anti-Brexit_protest%2C_London&type=revision&diff=4472933&oldid=4472932 this edit]. #<u>Renaming before publishing</u>. When you rename an article prior to publishing, there's no reason to leave a redirect. In my opinion, it can only serve to clutter the situation. ''After'' publication is a different matter, since there are (believe it or not) sites who mirror Wikinews and/or reference us, so after we publish we should keep all prior names to avoid breaking their links back to Wikinews. #<u>Linking to past articles in text</u>. I must admit, I am really unsure about this one. Yes, 'related news' serves the same function, but in some cases the alternative seems to be linking to a Wikipedia article. It's surely a habit I can easily break. Well, that's really it. You are doing a great job here. In today's review, however, you said "Why antiquated formatting?" and I do not know what you meant there. Cheers, --[[User:SVTCobra|'''SVT''']][[User Talk:SVTCobra|''Cobra'']] 21:53, 23 March 2022 (UTC) :Thank you for your compliments. Recognise that I myself have only started editing in Dec 2020, and our periods of activity have almost entirely missed each other. :1. I personally recognise a sizeable opening paragraph to be clunky and unnecessary, particularly as major news sources: BBC, NYT, CNN, Reuters, AP, France 24, the Independent ''without exception'' adopt this format. For me, if I can cut the opening paragraph to one sentence, and that means retaining much of the information except the 'how' and 'why', I would. I recognise this is a contentious decision but it's one of those decisions I've taken on initiative. For me, the opening paragraph can address the 'who', 'what' and 'when': the context comes later. But ''de jure'', by all means make an opening paragraph five sentences as allowed in the [[Wikinews:Style Guide]], or review articles that follow that custom. :2. I shy away from external links in articles out of principle, and especially because I have anecdotally never seen anyone link to one in photo credits. Again, I wasn't around for 2019. :3. Redirects are automatically generated when moving an article. I'm not an admin, I can't delete them. Trust me, I don't like seeing pre-pubs either. :4. Again, personal style—and the alternative I'd argue wouldn't be a Wikipedia link, that'd fall under sister links. :5. 'Antiquated formatting' refers to the use of [[c:Category:xxx instead of just [[. I call it antiquated because I'm pretentious :p [[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 03:30, 24 March 2022 (UTC) ::Thanks for your reply. as to number 3, you can just uncheck the box that says "Leave a redirect" ... you don't have to delete anything.

In my opinion we are so thin on reviewers that we probably ought not take the strictest approach, lest we want to strangle the project.

I didn't understand it fully wihtout knowing the context, does it mean it's bad for the app to show "this account is spam/fake" or it's bad for spam or fake accounts to exist - if the latter then why do they exist - is it issue with moderation?

What I wrote above are the facts as it stands — if one desires to write on 'what next' for a stalled deal which even ''The Sun'' admits "has stalled for more than a month" they better have more than 'best guesses' to show. [[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 23:50, 2 June 2022 (UTC) :Also, a few more points. :* I'd suggest to mention Electrek more prominently in the first paragraph. Looks like they are the primary source of the news about the communication between Mr Elon Musk and employees. It could be that Electrek is wrong. (cf. [[Wikinews:Attribution]]). :* Even in headline I was tempted to write "''Elon Musk '''reportedly''' emails Tesla employees return to office, or "assume you have resigned"''", adding word 'reportedly' and replacing 'emails tell' with 'emails' as a verb. Sounds a bit awkward. I hope it illustrates the point that I'm trying to make. :-- [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 09:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC) ::* CNN wrote Electrek was the '''first''' to publish the emails, which could indicate corroboration; Reuters outright confirmed them through two sources. Further, Musk appeared to confirm their legitimacy. All this indicates whilst Electrek are and deserve to be mentioned, they are by no means the sole source and cross-examination of this sort greatly favours their sincerity. In journalism, leaks often come from one source (for instance, the Daily Mirror's Pippa Crerar played an important role in exposing Partygate). ::* 'Emails' are a noun in this instance; Elon Musk emails (as in, emails attributed to Elon Musk) tell (the emails say) Tesla employees return to office, or "assume you have resigned". I find the headline is adequate in representing the focal event (that emails, attributed to Elon Musk, express the quoted sentiment). ::Let me know if these address your concerns, {{re|Gryllida}} [[User:JJLiu112|JJLiu112]] ([[User talk:JJLiu112|talk]]) 19:29, 2 June 2022 (UTC) :::Awesome, I think that resolves it, thanks.

The article currently says 'reasoning to withdraw' it reads a bit like he was going to cancel the deal entirely. At least that's how I read it (I am a foreigner, for me English is a second language, I think withdraw means to take back an application for example, so that it's no longer considered.) For clarity I'd probably suggest a 'reasoning to suspend the deal' or 'reasoning to postpone the deal' or something else that is more precise.

On Monday, officials with the {{w|Texas Department of State Health Services}} notified employees that the agency would "adopt a modified work approach" at least through Friday. That move was in response to [[Texas]] Governor {{w|Greg Abbott}}'s directive to put in place a flexible telework approach for the remainder of the week. The same day, the governor of [[Alabama]], {{w|Kay Ivey}}, directed supervisors to implement flexible work schedules for employees. She also indicated via [[Twitter]] that state employees should anticipate returning to work on April 6. Also on Monday, the Governor of [[New Jersey]] announced he was granting all state employees the option of working at home. A broad {{wikt|swathe|anchor=Noun}} of schools and government agencies across much of the US have sent out notices over the past several days pertaining to the COVID-19 situation. Last week, media notices indicated all schools within the [[Los Angeles]] {{w|Los Angeles Unified School District|Unified School District}} would be closed this week. The {{w|US Postal Service}} assured customers early Saturday morning that mail delivery would continue as normal.

That's basically Texas and Alabama, leaving the reader to wonder what about the other 46 contiguous states and 2 non-contiguous states.

Agustina Imaz 4 (2 goals), Azucena Uranga 5, Catalina Lavinia 6 (3, one penalty) and Paulina Vasquetto 1 (1 goal) demonstrated their passion for the sport, and the synergy that undoubtedly strengthened them in each match. Agustina Imaz shares her experience with the horses lent by Argentina Polo Day, a locally famous Polo Club and Resort: “They are machines. All super gentle and they helped me enjoy each game. Many thanks to the people of Argentina Polo Day for helping us and accompanying us.” Frances Townend of the England team tells us: “The horses were very good. There were no differences between the teams for the horses. Each did exactly what he asked them to do. My horses are very good.” These events make the history of polo, a history of Argentine leadership, of enjoyment for those who watch and play it around the world, and without a doubt promote polo in the world and mainly encourage girls to join every day!

Vingegaard claimed the {{w|yellow jersey}} after winning stage 11 (at the {{w|Col du Granon}}), and kept it for the rest of the Tour. He also won the mountain classification with 72 points. The race was won by a margin of 2 minutes 43 seconds over {{w|Tadej Pogačar}} of [[Slovenia]], who as well as second place won the young rider title, aged 23. {{w|Geraint Thomas}} of the [[United Kingdom]] came third with a time of +7:22. The points championship was won by {{w|Wout van Aert}} of [[Belgium]] with 480 points. The team championship was won by British team {{w|Ineos Grenadiers}}. {{w|Jasper Philipsen}} of Belgium earned the final stage victory and was this year's most successful {{w|Sprinter (cycling)|sprinter}}. This was the second time 25-year-old Vingegaard had raced in the Tour de France, and his third Tour overall. Last year, Vingegaard came in second to Pogačar, the 2020 champion aged 23, and this year completed his third Tour. "The battle between me and Jonas for the yellow jersey has been very special. I think we have some very interesting next two or three years ahead of us. Jonas has stepped up his game this year," said Pogačar, predicting a rivalry to continue. After Vingegaard captured the lead on stage 11, Pogačar attempted many attacks on subsequent stages, but with the help of his teammates, including Van Aert, Vingegaard was able to fend off Pogačar. "It's just incredible. I have finally won the Tour. Nothing can go wrong anymore. [...] It is the biggest cycling race of the year, the biggest one you can win and now I have done it. Nobody can take this away from me," said the Dane. "I always had the feeling that at least I could fight for the win. But I think in the end when I really started believing was after Hautacam [stage 18]. I always believed in it but I was thinking something really has to go wrong after Hautacam." ===Final general classification (Top 10)=== {| class="wikitable" !Rank!!Rider!!Team!!Time |- bgcolor=yellow |'''1''' |'''Jonas Vingegaard''' |'''Team Jumbo–Visma''' |align=right|'''79h 33m 20s''' |- |2 |Tadej Pogačar |{{w|UAE Team Emirates}} |align=right| + 2' 43" |- |3 |Geraint Thomas |Ineos Grenadiers |align=right| + 7' 22" |- |4 |{{w|David Gaudu}} |{{w|Groupama–FDJ}} |align=right| + 13' 39" |- |5 |{{w|Aleksandr Vlasov (cyclist)|Aleksandr Vlasov}} |{{w|Bora–Hansgrohe}} |align=right| + 15' 46" |- |6 |{{w|Nairo Quintana}} |{{w|Arkéa–Samsic}} |align=right| + 16' 33" |- |7 |{{w|Romain Bardet}} |{{w|Team DSM (men's team)|Team DSM}} |align=right| + 18' 11" |- |8 |{{w|Louis Meintjes}} |{{w|Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux}} |align=right| + 18' 44" |- |9 |{{w|Alexey Lutsenko}} |{{w|Astana Qazaqstan Team}} |align=right| + 22' 56" |- |10 |{{w|Adam Yates}} |Ineos Grenadiers |align=right| + 24' 52" |} {{haveyoursay}} ==Sisters== {{sisters|w|2022 Tour de France|commons|Category:Tour de France 2022}} == Sources == *{{source |url = https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/cycling/58918069 |title = Philipsen sprints to victory on Champs Elysees as Vingegaard wins Tour |author = Harry Poole |pub = BBC Sport |date = July 24, 2022 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20220724193621/https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/cycling/58918069 }} *{{source |url = https://apnews.com/article/sports-france-paris-cycling-tour-de-294c08234067e5935f9d8b6a894a474c |title = Jonas Vingegaard, king of the mountains, wins Tour de France |author = Samuel Petrequin |pub = Associated Press |date = July 24, 2022 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20220724182212/https://apnews.com/article/sports-france-paris-cycling-tour-de-294c08234067e5935f9d8b6a894a474c }} *{{source |url = https://www.letour.fr/en/news/2022/stage-21/jasper-philipsen-and-jonas-vingegaard-crowned-in-paris/1308831 |title = Jasper Philipsen and Jonas Vingegaard crowned in Paris |author = |pub = Tour de France |date = July 24, 2022 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20220724195955/https://www.letour.fr/en/news/2022/stage-21/jasper-philipsen-and-jonas-vingegaard-crowned-in-paris/1308831 }} [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Belgium]] [[Category:Denmark]] [[Category:France]] [[Category:Paris]] [[Category:Netherlands]] [[Category:Slovenia]] [[Category:United Kingdom]] [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Cycling]] [[Category:Tour de France]] 9x6g1c9nz57ajcmc78jglyjp0zsmg9q Inaugural African Protected Areas Congress closes 0 2952349 4686351 4685233 2022-08-10T18:53:19Z SVTCobra 9158 Protected "[[Inaugural African Protected Areas Congress closes]]": Standard protection (s/p) ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki {{date|July 28, 2022}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Environment}} The inaugural African Protected Areas Congress hosted in {{w|Kigali}}, [[Rwanda]], closed on Saturday with delegates adopting the Kigali Call to Action, committing countries to greater investments in the conservation of nature. The conference ran from July 18-23, and was organised by Rwanda, the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] and the {{w|African Wildlife Foundation}}, with the aim of discussing the challenges and opportunities in the conservation of nature and wildlife across [[Africa]]. Over 2300 delegates were present representing countries, the private sector, indigenous groups and conservation organisations. Initiatives included the launching of a Pan-African Conservation Trust, with African governments encouraged to approve its establishment. This would see a $200 billion pan-African trust fund created for the financing of all 8,500 of Africa's protected areas in perpetuity. Congress closed with delegates adopting the Kigali Call to Action, committing countries to spending 1% of their {{w|GDP}} on funding biodiversity programs, alongside increasing collaborations between the public and private sectors. The Call to Action also called for the strengthening of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == <!--Use at least two independent sources.--> *{{source |url = https://www.fairplanet.org/editors-pick/towards-sustainable-conservation-of-africas-protected-areas/ |title = Towards Sustainable Conservation of Africa's Protected Areas |author = Bob Koigi |pub = Fair Planet |date = July 25, 2022 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://english.news.cn/20220724/03d00a5f26504f33afc7b4b72361bff7/c.html |title = African countries commit to greater public, private investment in nature conservation |author = |pub = Xinhua |date = July 24, 2022 |archiveurl = }} *{{source |url = https://www.newtimes.co.rw/news/apac-five-key-highlights-continental-conservation-congress |title = APAC: Five key highlights from continental conservation congress |author = Alice Kagina |pub = The New Times (Rwanda) |date = July 23, 2022 |archiveurl = }} [[Category:Environment]] [[Category:Rwanda]] [[Category:Africa]] [[Category:Politics and conflicts]] [[Category:CSJJ104 (Wikinewsie)]] [[Category:International Union for the Conservation of Nature]] {{Publish}} 407aiytiqlbhzj7aywqncveyio0bn0l Actress Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek dies at age 89 0 2952678 4686369 4685832 2022-08-10T21:12:35Z Bddpaux 112744 Trying to be nice about things... wikitext text/x-wiki {{abandoned|August 10, 2022|}} [[File:Startreck.jpg|thumb|alt=Nichelle Nichols Is dead|Nichelle Nichols]] __NOINDEX__ {{xambox | type = serious | image = [[File:Emblem-important-red.svg|50px]] | text = '''The content of this page is under suspicion of [[Wikinews:Copyright|copyright infringement]].'''

Van Vleuten had struggled earlier in the eight-day race with sickness, losing time to competitors such as second-place finisher {{w|Demi Vollering}} of {{w|SD Worx}} and third-place finisher {{w|Katarzyna Niewiadoma}} of {{w|Canyon-SRAM}}. Van Vleuten was able to limit her time losses through the first few stages, and recovered in time to attack her competitors in the final two mountain stages, where Van Vleuten had been considered a favorite. “I hope it’s a big start and we can build this into an even bigger event," said Van Vlueten after winning the general Classification. "It’s a milestone to win the first one of, hopefully, many more.” Second-place finisher Demi Vollering claimed the Queen of the Mountains jersey, and veteran rider {{w|Marianne Vos}} of {{w|Team Jumbo Visma}} claimed the green jersey of the sprint points classification. Vos had been instrumental in lobbying {{w|Amaury Sport Organisation}}, the organizer of the Tour de France, to put on a women's race similar to the famed men's race. Fittingly, she won two stages and wore the yellow jersey of the overall leader until Van Vleuten took the lead on the penultimate day. The white jersey of the best young rider competition was claimed by {{w|Shirin van Anrooij}} of {{w|Trek-Segafredo (women's team)|Trek-Segafredo}}, meaning that all four classifications were claimed by Dutch riders. Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes of {{w|Team DSM}} won two individual stages in sprint finishes, before suffering a crash on a descent and later abandoning the race during the seventh stage. Danish rider {{w|Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig}} of {{w|FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope}} and [[Switzerland|Swiss]] rider {{w|Marlen Reusser}} of SD Worx also won individual stages. The Tour de France Femmes won praise for a well-designed course and substantial media coverage that brought large crowds to the race course, even on remote mountaintop finishes. Previous versions of a women's Tour de France race were conducted in 1955 and again from 1984-1986, but they lacked media coverage and resources and were not continued. This first edition of the Tour de France Femmes contained eight days of racing, beginning in [[Paris]] on the same day that the men's race ended. The Tour de France Femmes joins the {{w|Giro d'Italia Donne}} as a Grand Tour in the UCI Women's WorldTour calendar, and will be joined by {{w|La Vuelta Feminina}} in Spain in 2023. Race organizers and riders are already discussing ways to expand on the success of the Tour de France Femmes, including increasing the number of race days to more closely match the men's race, visiting the Pyrenees or the Alps, and including an individual time trial stage. {{haveyoursay}} == Sources == * {{source|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/62369614 |title=Tour de France Femmes: Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten wins inaugural title |pub=BBC Sport |date=July 31, 2022}} * {{source|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/annemiek-van-vleuten-from-illness-to-dream-tour-de-france-femmes-ending/ |title=Annemiek van Vleuten – From illness to dream Tour de France Femmes ending |author= Simone Giuliani and Kirsten Frattini |pub=Cycling News |date=August 1, 2022}} * {{source|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/01/marion-rousse-tour-de-france-femmes-annemiek-van-vleuten |title=Marion Rousse hails success of ‘proper women’s Tour de France’ |author=Jeremy Whittle |pub=The Guardian |date=August 1, 2022}} [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:France]] [[Category:Paris]] [[Category:Cycling]] [[Category:Netherlands]] [[Category:Switzerland]] [[Category:Denmark]] [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Tour de France]] c75jhs5pvrgd3b2btqw8h2ju8nzb63f Explosions kill four in Laurel, Nebraska 0 2952994 4686410 4685921 2022-08-11T00:42:46Z JJLiu112 2780319 JJLiu112 moved page [[Explosions kill four in Nebraska town in United States]] to [[Explosions kill four in Laurel, Nebraska]]: Precedent makes 'in Nebraska town in United States' unnecessarily unwieldly wikitext text/x-wiki {{review}} {{date|August 4, 2022}} <!--leave this as it is--> {{Nebraska}} Four people were killed early Thursday morning in two separate fires and explosions in the small town of {{w|Laurel, Nebraska|Laurel}}, [[Nebraska]], [[United States]].

As the documents sent yesterday indicate, the church views these matters seriously and is intent on cooperating with all reporting requirements. Following the adoption of the abuse policies sent yesterday, noncompliance would be rare. I do not know enough about the Toews case to comment on it. Yes, any member can contact Christian Peace Ministries directly and they would be in contact and advising local leadership so ensure that proper reporting is done. In the Peachey case, his leadership position and church membership were removed as soon as the allegations surfaced, even before timely reporting was done to local authorities. Christian Peace Ministries has been involved in that case from the beginning, as is most often the case. Sincerely, Shawn Giesel Conference Services -- Sent from Outlook Email App for Android Wednesday, 03 August 2022, 05:12PM -05:00 from Jason Miller jason@themaplist.org: Shawn, Thanks for your helpful response. We updated our post with the additional information. A few follow-up questions: Does the church have a policy for when ministers don't follow these procedures (such as in the case of Leslie Toews in Almena, WI)? Are the ministers only subject to criminal charges and civil suits, or does the church also hold them accountable in some way if they don't report? Is there a way for church members to report when ministers aren't following these procedures? Can they report directly to the Christian Peace Ministries? Does the church have any additional procedures for when the alleged abuser is himself a church leader (such as in the recent case of deacon Nathaniel Peachey in KY)? Was Peachey removed from his leadership position by the local church or the national denomination, and is there a policy that guided that? If these questions can be more appropriately answered by the Christian Peace Ministries or someone else, please let me know.

The first, “Procedures in Regard to Allegations of Sexual Abuse,” detail the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite’s full cooperation in reporting sexual misconduct by members of the Church to appropriate government authorities and full cooperation with any subsequent legal proceedings. The document also outlines steps to support and minister to any victim of abuse as well as dealing with the perpetrator and trying to help with his rehabilitation as well. The second document, “Guidelines for Congregational Study and Instruction,” was prepared to educate and raise awareness among both church leaders and the congregations on the subject, detailing indications of abuse and both legal and redemptive responses to it. The third, “Congregational Sexual Abuse Policy,” outlines each congregations sexual abuse policy in full accord with the other approved documents. The fourth, “Abuse orientation,” was prepared by the Conference School Committee as a teacher orientation and to explain the policies of the Church’s private schools in recognizing and responding to indications of abuse. The schools operate in full cooperation with the Church’s general position and practice on sexual abuse and misconduct. As noted, the first three are statements apply to all congregations and also include the schools which are sponsored by the congregations. These statements and policies were approved the general body of North American church leadership in 2017. The teacher orientation was specifically written to apply the other statements to teacher orientation sessions, which are held annually for new teachers. Christian Peace Ministries, which operates in both the U.S. and Canada, is the committee particularly assigned to any instances of sexual abuse or misconduct. The local ministry is to contact them for counsel when such actions become known and CPM is committed to and faithfully follows the policies as set forth. . Any deviations from this policy are not in harmony with the attitude of the Church. I sincerely hope this clarifies the position and practice of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on the issue Sincerely, Shawn Giesel Conference Services Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Inc.

If you're not familiar with our project, you can learn more at our website: www.themaplist.org. In preparation for an upcoming post summarizing a few cases of sexual abuse in Church of God in Christ, Mennonite communities, we have a few questions for denominational leaders. If you are not the appropriate leaders to address these questions, please direct us to the responsible group. Does the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite have denominational or congregational level policies for responding to allegations of sexual abuse? Will you share copies of any policies with us? Current and former church members have told us that as a result of the Peaster lawsuit in 2016–2017, a letter regarding mandatory reporting was read in front of congregations. Will you share a copy of that letter with us or explain the current church policy on mandatory reporting? Thank you for your time considering these questions. I'm happy to answer questions about our work on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse. If your response will take some time, can you give us an idea of a timeline for your reply?

Akshay Kumar is a Patna-based best selling author who just released his work “A WAY.” He is a software engineer by profession and a passionate author. He keeps his routine in check by working during the day at his company and scribbling his thoughts at night. His debut novel was launched long back and recieved a lot of support from the readers all over India and overseas. Moreover, before launching the conclusion, he was asked about his next novel everyday by more than 100 of his fans. A WAY, his recently released book, the conclusion of Withyou (his previous book), was an instant best seller. It was not only widely distributed, but it was also well-received worldwide. He didn't disappoint his readers and made everyone fall in love with this book, despite his distinctive storytelling style. People have empathised with the characters and praised him for once again exceeding expectations. His earlier book, "WITHYOU," was a best-seller that was sold in more than ten countries. His current and the latest edition, "A WAY" also became a best-seller in no time with record number of sales and received a lot of appreciations. His storytelling is one-of-a-kind, affecting everyone's hearts, and it has been dubbed a "masterpiece" by many. Akshay is more enthusiastic about outdoor sports, mountain hiking, nature photography, weightlifting, and experimenting with new recipes. Apart from literary interest, he is into cooking, body-building, travelling, vlogging and public speaking. In a recent interview, he also announced his future plans regarding his career.

The project was slow - not as slow as it is now, but still very slow. Then an important news event occurred, and a few hundred people were editing en.WN every day. Rather than lose the firehose of content '''someone was BOLD''' and ripped up the publishing policy and turned it around - anyone could publish an article as soon as they thought it met the minimum criteria. : And, to make sure that did not cause (too much) chaos, it became a policy that anyone could '''un'''publish an article if they felt it did not/no longer met the minimum criteria. : After the news event settled down, it turned out that this format attracted more contributors. They had fast gratification. That meant we (almost always) had enough people on the project to swiftly manage the spammers, trolls. It also resulted in conflicts, rarely resulting in brawls but occasionally, yes. That level of passion ''also'' seemed to keep people engaged in the project. : This policy was in place for about 18 months. At the end of that period the community was publishing 20+ new articles per day, off of its peak week of 30+ per day a few weeks earlier. : Within a month of reinstating the formal-review-before-publishing the rate of publication was down to 2-3 per day.
