Thanks for checking that.  I updated the uri of Emacs Wiki and removed
some dead links from the raw url list.  In master branch.

Best,

The default setting for newsticker-url-list-defaults
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=rss) is a
redirect from a http URL to a /missing/ https URL:

| Sonntag, 05:02: Error while retrieving news from Emacs Wiki

I tried replacing it with the apparent successor:

| (setq newsticker-url-list-defaults '(("Emacs Wiki" "https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs?action=rss" nil 3600)))

and it looks reasonable.

(There are other default URLs in
newsticker--raw-url-list-defaults, but I do not understand
under which circumstances they end up being used, so I
haven't checked those.)
