This is a supplement to the existing [[Wikipedia:In the news section on the Main Page|ITN criteria]], for the [[Template:In the news|In the news (ITN)]] section on the [[Main Page]].


This page is a supplement to the existing [[Wikipedia:ITNMP#Criteria|criteria]] for the [[Template:In the news|In the news (ITN)]] section on the [[Main Page]]. There is frequent discussion about the recurring events on ITN – this guideline is an attempt to standardize which get included.
There are frequent arguments about, and additions of and removals of, recurring stories on ITN. This guideline is an attempt to standardize what gets included in the ITN section of the Main Page.


Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates because editors can foresee them and prepare for their inclusion. There is no reason not to have a pre-existing list of approved events. The relevant articles will still have to be updated appropriately before being posted on the Main Page.
Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates because editors can foresee them and prepare for their inclusion. There is no reason not to have a pre-existing list of approved events. Such a list also assists editors in ensuring a reasonably balanced coverage (of for example, different sports) over time.


Items which are listed on this page are considered to have already satisfied the 'importance' criterion for inclusion on ITN, every time they occur. However, the relevant article(s) will still have to be updated appropriately and proposed on the [[WP:ITN/C|candidates page]] before being posted.
NOTE: This is not intended to preempt other ITN criteria regarding inclusion, such as inclusion of unusual and particularly important events.

*The ''results'' of [[general election]]s in:
**All states on the [[List of sovereign states]];
** [[European Union elections]].

**In the those countries which qualify under the criteria above, and where head of state is ''not'' an elected position.

Note that coronations, inaugurations, etc. are generally not posted. Changes to the [[head of government]] are discussed on their own merits. If election is held in two rounds, only the second round results (i.e., when the official is actually elected) are usually posted.

This page is a supplement to the existing criteria for the In the news (ITN) section on the Main Page. There is frequent discussion about the recurring events on ITN – this guideline is an attempt to standardize which get included.

Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates because editors can foresee them and prepare for their inclusion. There is no reason not to have a pre-existing list of approved events. Such a list also assists editors in ensuring a reasonably balanced coverage (of for example, different sports) over time.

Items which are listed on this page are considered to have already satisfied the 'importance' criterion for inclusion on ITN, every time they occur. However, the relevant article(s) will still have to be updated appropriately and proposed on the candidates page before being posted.

NOTE: This is not intended to pre-empt other ITN criteria regarding inclusion, such as inclusion of unusual and particularly important events.

Notes

  1. ^ Announced in 2000, only one of the seven prizes available has been awarded as of 2013
  2. ^ Taken as the publication of the discovery in a peer-reviewed scientific journal
  3. ^ In the event that the two organizations do not name them simultaneously, the official naming should only be posted once.
  4. ^ In the past two decades nine new elements have been reported, and about five officially named.[needs update]
  5. ^ In previous years, the item has been added to ITN when the new members take their seats (1 January) rather than when the results were announced (during October). This is because the elections are not usually heavily competitive, and 1 January is in the middle of a very slow news period every year.
  6. ^ Only those officially recognized by the Bureau International des Expositions and ExpoMuseum
  7. ^ These are "both extremely rare (once in decades) and extremely hard to predict"
  8. ^ There is no objective measure of exactly what constitutes a Great Comet, but consensus is for 'clearly visible by naked eye even to those who weren't specifically looking for it'. See two sets of discussion at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/June 2010. Note Comet Holmes was considered significant enough for ITN when it brightened to mag +2.8, despite never receiving the 'Great' appellation.
  9. ^ See List of solar eclipses in the 21st century for exact dates
  10. ^ With both the men's and women's results being posted together.
  11. ^ Usually including the World Series Most Valuable Player Award
  12. ^ Usually including the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award
  13. ^ Usually including the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award
  14. ^ Usually including the winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy
  15. ^ In Olympic years, the Men's Olympic Ice Hockey Finals replaces the World Championship; if the World Cup of Hockey ever returns, it too would replace the World Championship.
  16. ^ a b c d e Men and women
