live chat

Hi,

I would like to provide you with access to my w:Quassel Core so that you can access IRC continuously. You will need to install a 'Quassel Client' (no Core) from the http://www.quassel-irc.org web site. When this is done, and when you connect to IRC next time, please send me a private message to nick 'gry' while logged in; I will provide you the login details.

I consider this relatively urgent as new articles may die when people work on them asynchronously.

Regards, Gryllida (talk) 02:31, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Correction: the url is w:Quassel IRC. Gryllida (talk) 02:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

I routinely remain logged into IRC and there is rarely any chatter in #wikinews-en or #wikinews. I don't think access (or lack thereof) to IRC is what is holding us back. I really do think we need more active reviewers and likely an updated review process that is quicker and easier for both authors and reviewers. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:23, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Headline verb tense tip

Hi Michael C. Wright

Tip: news headlines are in present tense.

E.g. Bruce Lehrmann judge said to have no links to published book of judgement

FYI. I don't think any action or correction is required on this page (unless it's less than 24 hours and you dig up a policy that allows change).

Regards, Gryllida (talk) 05:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. I wanted to change the headline because Lehrmann is not the main focus and using his name to identify the judge could be misleading/confusing. I didn't, but I should have.

It's been over 24 hours since it was published, so we're stuck with it, unfortunately. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 13:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

resubmitted

I've resubmitted story about Qantas for your review. Gryllida (talk) 21:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you review

Can you review my UK Tory leader page? CSM.in (talk) 14:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I may not have time today to review any articles but I'll see what I can do. Fingers crossed. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:11, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Israel confirms death of Hamas leader in Gaza

Israel confirms death of Hamas leader in Gaza it's not that it was abandoned, I did make the corresponding improvements but you wanted it to be eliminated and that's it, but I'm telling you something that you would love. HERE I WILL NOT CREATE ANYTHING AGAIN? thank you. Pitille02 (talk) 05:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate the effort you put into the article and the improvements you made. My feedback was intended to help bring it up to en.Wikinews standards, which can be challenging, especially on a first attempt. Thank you for your contributions. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Next step

Hi! I may be a bit slow here so sorry to bother you again. What is the plan related to license upgrade? I think we need to know what needs to be done, when and by who. Can you help me out here? MGA73 (talk) 14:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I've been thinking about setting up a dedicated project page so we can track everything in a central location. We currently have conversations and lists scattered around and it makes it difficult to track.

We'll also need to request outside help with the admin work that needs to happen, as we don't have enough active admins here to get it done. We can't upgrade en.WN's license without an admin due to edit-protected pages.

I'll create the project page sometime this week and try to consolidate and organize all the info. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:27, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Sounds good. You are welcome to move my page or copy if you can use it. Perhaps we should just request a change at phab and when it is done we can ask global sysops at meta to change the relevant pages. Usually they respond within a few minutes. Once license is changed we can inform other languages and hopefully they will change too. --MGA73 (talk) 15:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

what admin work do you need done? Gryllida (talk) 00:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

@Gryllida: The request made here[1]. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 14:04, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

As I understand it some of the changes need to say something like that content is 4.0 except content from before <date> that is 2.5. It will be hard to make those changes unless we know which date the change will happen? --MGA73 (talk) 14:31, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

I started a new section at Wikinews_talk:Copyright#To_do_per_November_2024. Feel free to update and/or move somewhere else. --MGA73 (talk) 15:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

lost it, archived discussion means no further work needed? can you open new inquiries to admins at AAA before asking global sysops Thanks Gryllida (talk) 04:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

If the archival you are asking about is the list originally at WN:Copyright, I archived that version yesterday. As the archive reason states, it has been moved to: Wikinews:2024 Copyright license upgrade#pages-table (the project page). The table is collapsed by default, you will need to click the "expand" link to see the full table. The work is still needed.

I have previously made the following requests for this work, to include at WN:AAA: [2], [3], [4], [5]

In addition to the above requests, I have also made edit-protected requests on several (but not all) of the talk pages where changes are needed: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 14:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
