I tried to leave an opinion[edit]

I do not visit Wikinews very often. One of the reasons is that things seem to be broken here a lot. Today I tried to leave an opinion at:

but it looks like the system swallowed my post, sigh..

@Ottawahitech works fine for me.... Hmmm. BigKrow (talk) 16:43, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BigKrow, Interesting.
btw while you were leaving your opinion on the article above, I discovered another related post at:Wikinews:Water cooler/technical#LiquidThreads deprecation.

On the Campaign Trail ...[edit]

Would there be any interest if I resumed the On the Campaign Trail series as I've done since the 2008 US presidential election? Pizero usually reviewed those and they were quite daunting to review. So what I'm asking is, without Pizero around, is there anyone here who would be willing to take on such a project? Thanks. William S. Saturn (talk) 07:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

William S. Saturn: That would be excellent. I can't promise the level of quality in a review that he could, but I'd be happy to take this on. Thanks for your great work over the years. Heavy Water (talk) 19:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sign up for the language community meeting on May 31st, 16:00 UTC[edit]

Hello all,

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.

This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and add agenda items to the document here.

We look forward to your participation!
