Re: cathedral re-opening

Hello,

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

---

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

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

I could not verify one part:

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

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

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

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

Thank you and keep up the great work.

Pace

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

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

Revisit articles in review queue

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

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

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

Thanks. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Are you able to specify the style issues present in the article as a reviewer, or is it my job to figure that out as the reporter? Lofi Gurl (talk) 19:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I haven't checked the article talk pages yet so sorry if this ends up being a pointless question Lofi Gurl (talk) 20:00, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

It is the author's responsibility to know our policies and guidelilnes, to include the style guide. Reviewers can and often do correct style issues before publishing but they are not required to. It takes more of a reviewers time to correct for style along with everything else they must check before publishing. See Wikinews:Reviewing articles to understand all the work that goes into reviewing an article. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 14:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Great job

You are doing a great job here thank you. BigKrow (talk) 20:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, friend!

Lofi Gurl (talk) 20:29, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I have a question!

{{helpme}} Say an articles goes stale, or fails review for whatever reason. Am I allowed to splice old material and sources from "rejected" articles and use them in future articles, so long as the subject of the article stays fresh, and new developments keep coming in? Thanks. Lofi Gurl (talk) 20:36, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine. They are released under the creative commons licence indicated in the footer, and you can reuse them at any news articles here or any other place where the licence of content is compatible. Gryllida (talk) 21:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Impeachment of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol fails

Hi Lofi Gurl :-)

Could you please attribute the "Political unrest and nationwide protests were expected in response to the axing of the impeachment." sentence? Who said this? This would help the sentence to not read as a speculation made on behalf of Wikinews.

Let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Regards, -- Gryllida (talk) 21:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

From the Associated Press article:

Quote

The vote’s defeat is likely to fuel nationwide protests and escalate political turmoil, and opposition parties could introduce a new impeachment motion when parliament reconvenes next Wednesday.

Regards, Gryllida (talk) 04:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I've found the location and left a note about it at the article talk page. I cannot add it and remain available to review. Could you please check and make the edit? Thank you!!! Regards, -- Gryllida (talk) 05:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I went to sleep before seeing all these. I'm so sorry! Lofi Gurl (talk) 13:20, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lofi Gurl :-)

What is your time zone?

Do you receive notifications in right top corner of the page while you are logged in?

Please note on talk page of the slippers story there is a new message "@Michael.C.Wright - You can add it and I can review? Please confirm within the next hour, or @Lofi Gurl please add it within next hour. Failing that, I'll add it myself and will require another reviewer to publish. Thanks."

Have a great day.

Thanks, Gryllida (talk) 23:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, and I need to get better at clearing my inbox, apparently. Lofi Gurl (talk) 23:44, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

damascus story

i made a few edits. in one sentence needs clarification, i marked it in bold. please check? Gryllida (talk) 19:03, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi!! To answer the quesion/comment/footnote you left in the article -- I found a mention of "Saydnaya prison complex" in the BBC source but they don't specify if that was the prison Timmerman escaped from. It was just mentioned that the White Helmets were storming looking for survivors. Hope this helps! Lofi Gurl (talk) 21:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Also, I think he left prison the same day the city fell on Monday, which was mentioned in the second paragraph. Lofi Gurl (talk) 21:49, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

minor edit & thanks

hi, i have rejected this edit as this wikilink was already included in a previous paragraph. please let me know if i am incorrect!

thanks for the other edits to the story. they have made it so much nicer and are timely. i appreciate it and approved the other edits.

have a great day, Gryllida (talk) 07:45, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

oops didn't see the other link, thanks Lofi Gurl (talk) 08:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Edits after publication

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

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

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

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

Thanks again for joining and contributing! I can't remember the last time I saw ten articles in the review queue. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

I added this story to requested articles but im not up to starting the article myself... If you can do anything for this would be helpful? Thanks! BigKrow (talk) 21:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I'm happy to start articles you bring to me, I'm just not sure this story meets the site's notability guidelines.. I'd have to double check though. Thank you though Lofi Gurl (talk) 22:02, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

It does and is developing, not much data so far I suppose.... BigKrow (talk) 22:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Please see my not-ready review comments on the talk page. Heavy Water (talk) 22:19, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Why?

Are you making more work for editors? Im not angry just confused.... BigKrow (talk) 02:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what you're talking about? Lofi Gurl (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

You keep abandoning articles mostly you created, why? @Lofi Gurl: BigKrow (talk) 03:00, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

What specifically do you mean "making more work for editors"? Lofi Gurl (talk) 02:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

more work to clean up after you... BigKrow (talk) 03:01, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I'd just delete them if I was able to. Why are you mad? I'm abandoning the articles. Lofi Gurl (talk) 03:02, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

not mad, just confused.... BigKrow (talk) 03:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

You were acting fine before, what happened? @Lofi Gurl: BigKrow (talk) 03:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Stop "RIPing" because it's seen as disruptive behavior, sorry but it seems like it. BigKrow (talk) 03:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

That's fine I'm done writing here anyway. Lofi Gurl (talk) 03:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Suit yourself..... BigKrow (talk) 03:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Then what was your point? Wasting peoples' time? Sad sorry. BigKrow (talk) 03:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm genuinely confused now. What do you mean "wasting peoples time"? What are you talking about? Lofi Gurl (talk) 03:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

The project is to work together with one another not to abandon because theres not much activity right now. I won't argue with you anymore.. Sorry... @Lofi Gurl: BigKrow (talk) 03:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I didn't do anything wrong. Lofi Gurl (talk) 03:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

En.wn

Hi. Thanks for, well, contributing here, I guess. So really, if you want to write fast and write prolifically, maybe Wikipedia is a better fit for you than en.wn in its present state. The project couldn't handle a mass influx of even people highly skilled at writing for it (overwhelms the review process, reporters get demoralized). I'm tempted to say that you overestimated the project and what you could do, but that sounds wrong. I don't know why I'm saying all this. You probably already know it. Of what's left, we are overwhelmingly nice people, for what it's worth, and care deeply about en.wn. Just don't, I guess, overinvest yourself in it. One of our colleagues here likes to say "don't get married to your article", so perhaps likewise with the concept and future of the project. Then again, a late editor literally saw himself as embarking on a mission to save human civilization from intellectual ruin and mundanity by making something great out of this project. But he was executing a long term plan, that did transform the project. I don't know what this sounds like. I hope it doesn't sound condescending. Heavy Water (talk) 06:27, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Just to let both of you know I wasn't trying to attack @Lofi Gurl:. @Heavy Water: BigKrow (talk) 13:13, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to write this (it didn't come off as condescending). I'll keep it in mind while contributing to the project in the future. Sorry for taking a few days to reply. Been trying to limit internet time. Have a good rest of your weekend! Lofi Gurl (talk) 05:31, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

I was really being a dink to you, apologies. Feel free to continue to write articles here! @Lofi Gurl: BigKrow (talk) 16:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
