Nominator's comments: Ugandan olympian who was fatally stabbed today. — Knightoftheswords 21:01, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Blurb? Three times he represented Uganda on the world's greatest steeplechase stage, now he's stabbed to death in his brother's car while in Kenya. Who stabbed him? We don't know. Why was he in Kenya? We don't know. Did he not have his own car? Exactly. It's not much at the moment, informationwise. But investigationally, the game is clearly afoot (wait for it). Of course, I hear a certain subset of regulars out there, and yes, he was neither the next Nelson Mandela nor another Gordie Howe. Nobody's saying he was. Death itself is the end-of-year story here. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:24, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As (presumably) one of those regulars, I'm going to oppose blurb on those regular grounds anyway. JM (talk) 04:39, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not Ready Article quality is quite poor. Oppose burb on merits. Subject's death is tragic but his significance is nowhere near the level that would justify a blurb. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:47, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This stubby wikibio currently has only 259 words of prose. Anything else to write about this guy?

Sorry for my late reply, Alsoriano97. That's a tricky one as the governor general's role is very much to not stand out. However, I've done the following things:
  1. I've added the constitutional, ceremonial and community functions of the role to the bio.
  2. I've restructured the article by removing the controversies subheading; it is exactly what a GG is not supposed to do.

    Bagumba (talk) 02:44, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Bagumba, I attached this to source his committee assignments. It's not a great format to just list every committee they've ever served on, but it's how it's done here. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Someone has since tagged the section for expansion.[4]Bagumba (talk) 08:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think a full committee list is extremely unnecessary here. Bob Dole#U.S. Senate (1969–1996), for example, quite nicely weaves together his major chairmanships together with what he accomplished in those roles without inundating the article with a crufty list. I think as long as Kohl's major committee positions are acknowledged (which they are), that is sufficient for ITN. Curbon7 (talk) 08:36, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

German cabinet minister in many governments, longest-serving parliamentarian in German history, negotiator of German reunification and euro crisis – Marco polo (talk) 15:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sound like a blurb. Key figure in German politics in last forty years.
More than 100 references (119 as of now). Is it enough for posting RD at least? Kirill C1 (talk) 17:13, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The truth is that he was a figure that was important beyond the German borders, as he was "director" of the European management of the economic crisis from 2008 onwards, affecting the countries of southern Europe (and negatively affecting his reputation). I think a blurb may be, perhaps, worthy of discussion. In any case, there are lines and paras that have no sources and should be fixed. _-_Alsor (talk) 21:14, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Chiming in here to also support the idea of a blurb. Another very important European politician to pass away recently. Yakikaki (talk) 21:18, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Passed away recently, but a couple of years after he'd left active political importance. There's no need to replace him, as there is for, say, Rotimi Akeredolu. There might be some real intrigue/shakeup in that case (and similar ones). InedibleHulk (talk) 22:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If he was that important, it is not clear immediately from the article. It needs something like a Legacy or Impact section (perhaps tied to the Recognitions section) to explain this in detail. There may be bits and pieces buried in other sections, but we should have something that makes it very clear to the reader why we're drawing special attention to this person.

The other main page sections are running Christmas-themed topics today and so it would be good for ITN to run a Christmas story too. This one seems reasonably historic. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:43, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose This should have been nominated and posted when the reform was approved: either on 24 May 2023, when the Orthodox Church of Ukraine officially approved the date or on 28 July 2023 when President Zelensky signed the law confirming the new date, according to our article. The current blurb sounds as if the decision came out of the blue. Brandmeistertalk 10:20, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Not that significant in the grand scheme of things, and also as noted above the change itself happened much earlier in the year.  — Amakuru (talk) 00:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose It's getting some coverage but the quality of that coverage is not great. This is just part of a fairly complicated subject involving a major schism within Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine. There are at least three major groups claiming to be the legitimate Orthodox jurisdiction in Ukraine, two of which are recognized by differing autocephalous churches. And this doesn't count all of the splinter groups including so called True Orthodox etc or the UGCC which is aligned with the Roman Catholic Church. At least one of the main churches and all of the smaller Old Calendarist jurisdictions still use the Julian Calendar. To say that the religious situation in Ukraine is byzantine (pun intended) would be an understatement, and almost none of the mainstream press media sources have more than a slight clue. I'm Orthodox and routinely reach for the Tylenol whenever the subject of the church in Ukraine comes up. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:06, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong oppose All blurbs are misleading as they fail to illustrate the main point. Ukrainian authorities didn’t explicitly change the date of Christmas to 25 December but just made 7 January to be a regular working day (note that Ukraine is a secular state, so the authorities cannot interfere in the freedom of religion). That’s it. Some Ukrainians celebrate it on 25 December, while others do it on 7 January. It’s a matter of personal choice.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:40, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • It seems they did. The law signed by Zelensky did move the Christmas date from 7 January to 25 December, while the day before the Ukrainian Orthodox Church adopted the revised Julian calendar that currently coincides with the Gregorian calendar (meaning Christmas would be observed on 25 December). Brandmeistertalk 11:36, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's exactly what I said. They shifted the non-working day from 7 January to 25 December. This means that religious people who observe Christmas on 7 January now need to take a day off from work to celebrate. Other than that, there's absolutely no significance in this change. I agree that Ukrainian Orthodox Church's decision to adopt the revised Julian calendar was much more notable, but it happened five months ago and it's nowhere mentioned in the suggested blurbs.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:49, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree. I come from a European NATO member state where the local Orthodox church, which is neither the Russian nor the Serbian, uses the Julian calendar and we observe Christmas on 7 January. I don’t see how that makes me less pro-Western or more pro-Russian. Our authorities have resolved this in a very elegant way—25 December is a non-working day for those adhering to a church that uses either the Gregorian or the revised Julian calendar, and 7 January is a non-working day for those adhering to a church that uses the Julian calendar.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 17:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is breaking news and so needs expansion but seems to be a significant escalation in the recent shipping attacks in that the target was a ship off the coast of India, sailing to a port in India and crewed by Indians. Many other nations seem to be involved. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Iran is denying that they made the attack and the Indian Navy is investigating. So, we must await developments but it's already significant in that the shipping route from the Persian Gulf to India is now threatened and there's no alternative route, like there is for the Red Sea. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not long, but not really a stub anymore, and well-cited. JM (talk) 02:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose at the present time. Preparing for a potential attack is not what would go into ITN, it would be if the attack (either direction) actually occurs. So if a full-scale attack actually happens, then yes, this would make sense, but right now, it is a defense move being used to try to secure stability that was weakened by the actions in Gaza. --Masem (t) 05:50, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are attacks, and they are happening? Ed [talk] [OMT] 08:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Those are the background attacks. We didn't (really) consider posting them then and we aren't supposed to now. What (I think) Masem is waiting for lately is a full-scale "defensive" counterattack against the Houthis. Maybe it will coincide with a smaller-scale attack by them, as Gaza escalated, and we can post the tit and the tat together again. But for now, this new "side" of the hypothetical conflict is only retaliating with posture and suggestion. That's not counting any secret operations underway in Yemen right now inflicting untold numbers of casualties and damage that simply aren't "In The News", of course. And I'm not saying a lot of what goes on in that Gulf is intentionally kept silent, either, just that we can only blurb what the reliable sources want us to see and some of us aren't seeing enough destroyers destroying, just the usual repetitive rinkydink rockets.

Support on notability, but the article needs significant improvement --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 04:58, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support on notability. This is major development. This is the largest Christian confession. Never in history of Catholic Church there was such thing, it couldn't have been thought of 10 or 20 years ago. For religious reasons, this is very important. You can have a look what was previously talked on this matter. Kirill C1 (talk) 20:36, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Revisiting this per the ping, I'm still not persuaded that the new article makes a significant difference. The doctrinal position seems to be much the same as before as the article states plainly that "Fiducia supplicans does not provide for changes with respect to the institution of marriage in the Catholic Church." And I'm not seeing much coverage in the media as compared with other religious issues such as the Methodist schism. The only papers that are talking about Fiducia supplicans seem to be the specialist religious press like The Tablet. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose: This is a significant event but it's hard to find non-Catholic reporting that accurately describes it. For example, many claim Pope Francis issued it, even though he didn't. As written, it also can cause confusion: are the unions permitted to be blessed (most experts and the Vatican's official statement say no, but some RSs reported it as such). ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:14, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, im sorry but im not going to spend the next 30 minutes or so looking it up. I think (THINK), i've seen a list somewhere of all the times we've posted LGBTQ+ legalizations on the ITN. I also think (but not sure) the smallest/more irrelevant nation that we've posted was some island micronation and the logic there was that it was either first on the continent or first muslim nation, but you'd have to double check that
in general it feels like we've posted these sorts of announcements like 10+ times for countries. Catholicism is the largest singular faith in the world i think it deserves being posted, even if it's not legalizing marriage outright (we all know that's not going to happen not in the next 10-20+ years) Kasperquickly (talk) 14:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nor can we forget that the SCOTUS decision Obergefell v. Hodges was posted because "it's America". A mistake. But I agree with you that the legalisation of same-sex marriage is not the same in a Western country as it is in a Muslim or African country and this has to be taken into account here. _-_Alsor (talk) 16:49, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would have been very odd to not blurb the legalization of gay marriage in the US considering how much it was "in the news" even outside of America. JM (talk) 17:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not the person you're replying to but the problem with that argument is that it creates a kind of threatmill where everyone is starting to question "why are we worse than americans" that leads to the ITN being filled with election results from micronations in the pacific ocean that have 20-30 thousand people population tops and are smaller than some of the buildings in Washington D.C. Kasperquickly (talk) 18:06, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ITN is not a news ticker but instead looks to feature quality articles about topics that happen to be in the news, with an aim to avoid the Western and English baises that come from mainstream media. That is why we consider election results from most countries as appropriate news items. Masem (t) 19:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support now a separate article that is good enough quality has been created. It's been 23 years since the DDF have done a declaration, and this one is definitely in the news. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:16, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle - but the article still needs work. I'm reasonably well-versed in this sort of thing, and I am finding the prose in the article heavy-going. Sentences like this need further revision to be clear: "All extramarital sexual relations are considered a sin by the Church and continue to be so, which is why it is asked for the affect that may exist between the two people of the same sex involved." As for the notability - (1) it's not marriage, and I don't think we're likely to see a shift there any time soon (2) but it is a truly huge organisation, with a reach on this topic that is virtually unparalleled (3) and similar moves are afoot elsewhere; last week saw the first officially sanctioned blessing of this kind in the Church of England (which like the RCC has been doing such things unofficially for a long time, but that's another story). So I do think it's appropriate for ITN, but my support is somewhat qualified. GenevieveDEon (talk) 12:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Article now clearly up to quality standards. Massive doctrinal change in a major world religion. We listed the church's new understanding of the death penalty as well. This clearly meets inclusion standards. StardustToStardust (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose its clear from that timeline box that these attacks are routine now for the most part, and thus nothing specific about this one stands out over the others. As for ongoing, that line is not meant for long drawn out situations that only get a burst of coverage every month or so, but instead something that should be seeing near daily news coverage. That doesn't seem to be the case here either. --Masem (t) 23:40, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are numerous serious wars ongoing throughout the world and this is one of them. Rather than cherry-picking just a few, we should put the List of ongoing armed conflicts into Ongoing. The reader will then get an encyclopedic summary of them all, rather than being misled into thinking that there are only those few. The list gets several updates every day as the casualties keep climbing. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Posted per consensus above. I might suggest that y'all discuss an addition to the blurb that addresses the criticism of the agreement (the second part of this sentence: "The global pact was the first in the history of COP summits to explicitly mention the necessity to shift away from every type of fossil fuels, but still received widespread criticism due to the decision not to include a clear commitment to neither fossil fuel phase-out or phase-down.")

    @InedibleHulk Given that we've even covered some of these controversies on the Signpost, I would definitely co-sign it... Oltrepier (talk) 20:39, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I feel like that would border on editorializing, kinda like how we tend to avoid calling elections illegitimate. The readers can see this themselves from the article. DarkSide830 (talk) 21:21, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Obviously, I come from a biased spot, since I helped update the article, but I think mentioning the fact that the COP28's final deal is the first in the summit's history to explicitly mention every kind of fossil fuels would be worth the extra work. If we have to save at least one thing from a clearly underwhelming conference — with conflicts of interest and blunders that dangerously undermined the very meaning and scope of COPs — then let's give this bit of news a shot. Oltrepier (talk) 21:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I struggle to understand the meaningful significance of it when the entire statement is known to be nonbinding and there have been valid questions raised regarding the sincerity or motives of those wealthy suits attending. Duly signed, WaltClipper -(talk) 13:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @WaltCip True, but considering that people had struggled to even include the explicit mention of coal during the negotiations at the COP26, this is still an improvement (albeit a slight one)... Oltrepier (talk) 18:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The old administration still holds some of the levers of power. The BBC explains that "Mr Duda's decision to nominate Mr Morawiecki to form a government without any hope of winning a vote of confidence indicates that the president, who will be in office until 2025, intends to stymie Mr Tusk's plans. To become law, bills approved by parliament need to be signed by Mr Duda, who can veto them. Mr Tusk's coalition does not have enough MPs to override a presidential veto." So, there may be a gridlock as often happens in the US. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Act has already been in preparation since 2021. Per this announcement, this seems to mark agreement between the Council and Parliament. All that remains is some technical wordsmithing, translation and formal approval.

  • Support – I do not think "we missed our chance" is a healthy position. We always run into things gradually growing anyway, and god would it be a breath of fresh air to have a medicine story on for once. We wrote the article now and we're lucky that there's a relevant context to feature it in. We should be presenting our writer's work and show that Wikipedia is a dynamic place, as per ITN goals. The article looks good and it would be a shame if it passes people by because it was approved in a different context by a different country one month ago as well. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:50, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I would like to add: waiting for a second government to approve of a medicine could easily be seen as us just being careful and waiting things out. We didn't do it on purpose, but we now have an extra datapoint to confirm widespread adoption of this. Within science, it's extremely helpful to set that as precedent. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:53, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, with better blurb I have added an altblurb2, which lists both countries that have approved this, in chronological order, giving no apparent priority to either. HiLo48 (talk) 21:43, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That makes it appear (what I too was lead to believe) to be a case of simultaneous approval, which is clearly not what has happened here. Gotitbro (talk) 10:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's why I phrased it as "alongside" in alt1, though I think either of these blurbs are alright for making clear that the new medicine is getting widespread adoption, which is the main story for us as the encyclopedia. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 15:11, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wait same rationale per above but I wouldn't oppose. If there are further developments that we should blurb since this seems to be a significant development.

Things like the Oscars, Emmys, etc are factually not trade shows.

Nothing in ITNCRIT says that an event needs to be massively covered, just covered in independent news sources.

  • Post-posting oppose: these video game awards are not on the same level of magnitude as the EGOT awards. Most major publications such as The New York Times, AP, BBC have only one short article each compared to the EGOT awards that can get multiple different articles from these major publications. I mean if the Game Awards were as mainstream as the other film awards, you would think they would at least be the main articles on the arts or lifestyle or culture sections of those publications but most of the time they're not. RTÉ and Al Jazeera have actual topic tags for the Oscars. Both outlets also have 0 mention of the Game Awards. They are not yet at the same level.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 21:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Post-posting support I think it should also be noted that the article quality here is rather good, and comprehensively sourced. Kafoxe (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Post-posting support The Gaming Awards are not really relevant outside of Anglosphere and Europe. But you have to consider how much games that gain considerable Western attention like most blockbuster Nintendo games, Alex Wake 2, and Baldur's Gate 3 for example, they will get covered by mainstream media and treated as a big deal. GTA 6 trailer, for example, was a big deal in Europe (based on Google Trends) and irrelevant in Indonesia as an Indonesian myself because of GTA's long association with console gaming which seen a complete fall from their heyday in 2000s, but also covered by MSM. While this sounds like I want to pull this, well, no, I don't think we should pull this. While gaming across the world have taste differences, gaming is a big cultural industry like music and films. To be frank, we should change ITN/R like Omnifalcon has proposed. MarioJump83 (talk) 23:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    For the avoidance of doubt, I don't want The Gaming Awards on ITN let alone ITN/R. The show is an advertisement, Geoff's friends getting access, and very far from a celebration of the best games. Omnifalcon (talk) 23:35, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It should be completely possible separate the ad-filled presentation show, and the actual awards, as a matter of distinguishing the "no promotion" issues that have been raised. Otherwise, we'd apply the same to any award that has a presentation ceremony or even things like many sporting events which could be argued as giant ads. Masem (t) 23:38, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. And to be frank, ITN/R is full of sporting events that aren't relevant. In particular I have issues with darts championship. MarioJump83 (talk) 23:46, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with this. The Game Awards, imo, is pretty much a big ad and (condensed) game trailer show at this point. MarioJump83 (talk) 23:46, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Closed) Ongoing removal: Russian invasion of Ukraine

[edit]

Template:Atop Template:ITN candidate

I swear the moment we pull this from the main page, a new major offensive is going to start up and the news media will be yuking to blare the "BREAKING NEWS" horn again. I'm not saying the timing for this is wrong, it's more that we seem to have a (coincidental) tendency to trigger this anytime we pull something from ongoing. Duly signed, WaltClipper -(talk) 14:39, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The timing for this is wrong. Kirill C1 (talk) 14:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What would be a good timing? This event defocussed the COVID-19 pandemic, which was removed from ongoing shortly afterwards, and it was recently defocussed by the Israel-Hamas war. That's simply how the media work. US not approving additional funding to Ukraine partly because they had begun supporting Israel is just a demonstration that it went out of focus in practice.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral – In the past two weeks, only three sentences have been added to this article. It's a weak growth that doesn't really match what "ongoing" means on Wikipedia, but it's not nothing and I know that articles like this go in waves. Another wave of activity will probably happen. That being said, I don't know how much further this article specifically will evolve. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 15:16, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    what about the timeline article? I think the reason that it's also there is because the main article gets fewer updates (which itself could be a sign that it should be taken down). JM (talk) 16:09, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Ad & WaltCip; early winter has historically always seen offensives stall in this region. As the mud freezes, it's quite likely we'll start seeing offensive actions start back up. Additionally, we are undoubtedly going to see escalated drone and missile attacks as well. Unless there is a prolonged ceasefire or a peace deal, I see no reason to pull from ongoing. Kcmastrpc (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is a crystal-ball argument. If a major offensive starts during the winter, we can easily report it. For now, it's only a speculation.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies; that seems to have been an indentation mistake on my part. I meant to point out that the phrases "crimminal act" and "brave defence" violated WP:NOTFORUM. —M3ATH (See · Say) 18:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For the moment I don't care about NOTFORUM and am considering the question to be put forward in bad faith. For reasons of stating the obdious, the criminal act of the russian invasion of Ukraine. It may be ongoing and stalled just like evolution or climate change is ongoing but you'd be hard pressed to point to any specific things that happened today to make them ongoing. Guys, you needn't reply mentioning that this is not a forum for opinions, I know. It's just that this issue is personally important to me. --Ouro (blah blah) 18:19, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Consider that there are certain guidelines for what can be in ongoing, which is why evolution and climate change are not there. Look at the current events portal to see a secondary level of ongoing events which are not on the main page, which is where this page would go if a proposal like this ever passed. JM (talk) 18:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So you are allowed to violate NOTFORUM and AGF if an issue is personally important to you. Got it. —M3ATH (See · Say) 18:39, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Hab

Strong Oppose - I do understand where this is coming from, but this would be a bad idea. First of all, the COVID-19 comparison isn't valid because there's no such policy as WP:MINIMUMDEATHS. The notability of the war isn't due to the death toll. It's still regularly in the news and a huge part of global discourse, one of the biggest events in the 21st Century. And finally, I think if there was to be some escalation in the future, we should post it regardless like we posted the annexation of south-east Ukraine to Russia or the Wagner Rebellion. I do agree that Opposing because the war could escalate in the future is Crystal Balling, but still. Unless the war ends or really grinds down to a Korean-style stalemate (which it hasn't yet, still massive battles raging), it should stay up.

COP 28

[edit]

Template:ITN candidate There's a variety of possible blurbs and the president, Sultan Al Jaber, seems to be making waves. Perhaps Ongoing is best to cover all the angles. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per precedent. If something important comes out of this, we can post it, but given that the president is being accused of climate change denial, that is highly unlikely. —M3ATH (Moazfargal · Talk) 16:09, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Blurb - Put up the event and controversy surrounding PrecariousWorlds (talk) 17:07, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Overwhelming significance, many updates, and honestly it's great to have something else than wars in Ongoing. The event spans several days and several points can be in the news even before the final decisions, that's exactly what Ongoing is for. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 20:32, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. It's a two-week conference which will be over in a week. That's not what Ongoing is for. If some actually significant decisions are made there, and not just blowing hot air, then post a blurb. Nsk92 (talk) 00:35, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Ongoing is for when a blurb rolls off but the event is still notable and In The News, or if there is a significant amount of independent news items related to the event coming in. Neither has happened here. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 08:21, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's false as there are plenty of stories coming out of this ongoing event. For example, right now the online NYT has four headlines on its main page:
  1. Climate Summit Leader Tries to Calm Uproar...
  2. Global Fossil Fuel Emissions Are Rising...
  3. Air-Conditioning Use Will Surge in a Warming World...
  4. 1.5 Degrees Is Not the Problem
So, with four front page headlines, that's more than any of the other ongoing ITN entries for which the scores are Gaza=3, Ukraine=2, Myanmar=0, Sudan=0. Q.E.D. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:33, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah but I'd say 2 of those stories would not be suitable for a blurb. The only two angles that we could go for would be the event happening and surrounding controversy. It's no shock to anyone that fossil fuel emissions are rising, and the other article is an opinion piece. The quantity of headlines does increase notability, but doesn't necessarily indicate it should be ongoing. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 09:13, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose until end of the event and then determine if there's anything useful out of it. We have not posted the past COP nor the onset of other G7/G20/equivalent international meetings, but only give a blurb if there is some major, actionable agreement that comes out that, and that's usually not known until the last day of the event. --Masem (t) 01:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per reasons above Roma enjoyer (talk) 01:56, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose ongoing, support blurb as per Nsk92. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 04:40, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait until the conference ends and post any major conclusions. I don't see reporting on important decisions during the conference in the article to justify posting onto ongoing.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:56, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Needs work – Currently the lead section exclusive speaks of the background/leadup to the event. More writing needs to be done and the article must be rebalanced before this can be featured. Article has a lot of potential, however. I can see a lot of work has been put into this in the past months! ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 14:00, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Posted) Venezuelan referendum

[edit]

Template:ITN candidate

  • Support Oppose significant because it is an international incident and territorial dispute featuring a military buildup alongside this referendum, but the article needs to be updated; the results tables have no information. done after taking a second look it's clear those sources do not back up those numbers, which are inaccurate. this article cannot be blurbed until there are accurate numbers. JM (talk) 04:29, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Support quality has improved, the significance I outlined in my original review still stands. JM (talk) 07:32, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose on quality per JM. Those results were not accurate. DarkSide830 (talk) 04:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I really don't think many realise how bad this situation is getting, and the massive impact it will have on everything. This needs to be put up on the front page. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 06:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also it might be good to say that the people """"""voted"""""" to annex, supposedly by a 95% majority (shocking result I know) PrecariousWorlds (talk) 06:40, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The referendum did not explicitly ask voters to approve the annexation of the Essequibo region, but rather supported the establishment of a state in the disputed area (among other provisions). The referendum is a step towards a potential annexation, but it wasn't asking for it directly. Ornithoptera (talk) 06:41, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It could be argued that it is a de facto annexation, fully incorporating a neighbouring territory as a part of your state. It's the same thing that the Russians did, Donetsk and Luhansk becoming full fledged republics of the federation. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 07:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Even if it could be argued that it is a "de facto annexation", it still is not (the referendum is consultative and therefore voting to approve simply doesn't codify anything other than to send a message of approval), and there is not a significant body of work that directly states the referendum is asking to directly do so (however, there are many other things that are adjacent to a potential annexation or significant action being taken that are at hand in relation to the referendum) and the assertion of such would be a violation of WP:NOR. Ornithoptera (talk) 09:11, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The big difference is that Venezuela doesn't have de facto possession of the territory. As I understand it, it's controlled by Guyana and they are backed up by Brazil's powerful military. Venezuela is sabre-rattling for domestic consumption as the country is otherwise a shambles. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:11, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've made some improvements on the article, but more is needed on the veracity of the referendum. I highly doubt it was free and fair PrecariousWorlds (talk) 07:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support of clear significance and both bolded articles appear in good shape. I agree that annex is probably not the right word to use as that usually implies some degree of control over the territory. Not quite sure how best to word this - maybe "vote to a establish a state in the disputed region". ITBF (talk) 08:32, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This is an ongoing dispute which is still before the ICJ. Venezuela's referendum does not seem significant as what will matter is physical control on the ground and international recognition. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Blurb is a bit long, and two bolded articles might be too much. Also no need to add "shown in green" if the map is already labeled. Support the shorter and more concise altblurb. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 09:44, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support and I have proposed alt2 to address concerns that the referendum wasn't technically for annexation. —M3ATH (Moazfargal · Talk) 09:56, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alternative blurb II III in principle, Oppose main and alternative blurb: The referendum consisted in five questions, only of which the last one asked to begin steps to incorporate the territory, so the issue is more nuanced than voters asking to annex the territory, as others have mentioned.
Likewise, also commented above already, there's the initial results: while polls estimated a 20% turnout (around 4 million voters) and those figures were even coonsidered an overestimation, the Venezuelan government now says that over 10 million people voted (over 50% turnout). I think there weren't independent observers, but allowing this around 12 hours or so should allow to learn the position of experts and the opposition.
I know that electoral results usually aren't questioned in the ITN, but this should also be considered in the blurb (see (Posted) 2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine). If everything else fails, I would support the inclusion of the Guayana Esequiba crisis article in the Ongoing section. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding referendum questions, as shown in the article, all of them are related to Guayana Esequiba which is explicitly mentioned in each of them, not just the last one. The 3rd one is perhaps particularly provocative, about "Venezuela's historical position of not recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice to resolve the territorial controversy over Guayana Esequiba". Also, altblurb II looks too verbose and conniving. Brandmeistertalk 11:56, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This is an important move by Venezuela, but i understand why some are apprehensive to add it. But it IS a vote to annex a part of another sovereign nation, and should be brought to light.

Support for obvious reasons. It's currently trending on the news and shall be posted. Rager7 (talk) 01:47, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support conceptually, Oppose all blurbs. The statement that "Venezuelans vote to" support their government is dubious at the very best. Abundant nuance to this situation is evident, I accept, but lack of referendum tampering is improbable. Below example blurb, a modification of alt3, is preferable:
Amidst a diplomatic crisis with Guyana, a Venezuelan referendum succeeds to support the government's claim on the disputed Guayana Esequiba region (shown in green). 180.150.81.68 (talk) 11:05, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, in case of tampering something like "Venezuelan referendum supports the annexation..." may work, to avoid placing the responsibility on Venezuelan people whose opinion may have been manipulated. Brandmeistertalk 20:31, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Much preferable indeed. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 22:34, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. RSes are making it pretty blunt that the government’s reported turnout/vote count is highly disputed, so to frame it as the referendum legitimately voting to support is to effectively take the government line. The Kip 21:00, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    As mentioned, it's the sixth time in history, across a span of years that exceeds the duration of pretty much every legislature on the planet besides the UK's Parliament. It's only the third time in the past 160 years.

    In fairness, we kind of have to exclude those expelled during the Civil War. That was both some 160 years ago, and during a very different environment. This would be analogous to saying something happening in a European country is unusual just because it happened a number of times during World War 2.

Rather, this was someone who was federally indicted for fraud and refused to resign as most other politicians would normally do in this scenario. Nixon's impeachment would have been significant whether or not he resigned or stayed until the bitter end, just because of how massive the fundamentals of the case were.

  • Oppose I knew this was going to get nominated. A member of a legislative body getting expelled does not mean its life changing. It did not have a huge impact in the House, and isn't considerate for other countries outside of the U.S.
TomMasterRealTALK 19:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support This is a highly unprecedented move. This marks a very unusual threshold (as I've seen others mention) as this is the first time ever (out of thousands upon thousands of people to serve in Congress) person to be expelled for any reason other than "they directly participated in a rebellion against the Union" or "they were convicted of a felony but refused to resign." This will certainly have serious implications for the USA as a whole (which is sufficient reason for ITN: almost all news posted in ITN only directly impacts a single country, and isn't inherently an international event) but as of yet this total effect is unclear. It's understandable to note that this doesn't hold up to the standard for level of impact of, say, the prior posting of Henry Kissinger, as Kissinger was a truly international figure that had a greater impact on multiple countries than any of their respective heads of government they've had since.
At the minimum, this clearly will appear in the past as an "OTD" item, but I can see there being legitimate arguments that it doesn't meet the threshold for ITN. (mostly centered around how the greater impact outside of the GOP is unclear, and that such claims to notability might be construed as speculation) Unfortunately, whenever a news primarily focused on US national politics shows up, the !votes are cluttered with a number that directly ignore the rules for voting, but do seem to routinely get counted all the same. - Nottheking (talk) 21:07, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support It is far harder to expel someone from either house of the U.S. Congress due to the required two-thirds supermajority than it is from the UK or Canadian House of Commons (in the latter, from what I've read, only a majority is necessary). Santos is the first member since the Civil War to be expelled in the absence of a criminal conviction, breaking a long custom that only members who refused to resign after being convicted should be expelled. This event marks a crossing of the Godzilla Threshold; it is more of a black swan than people here are giving it credit for.

    And as for it being U.S.-centric, the story has gotten a lot of traction in Brazil (for obvious reasons), and I've seen in my news feed plenty of British coverage as well. Daniel Case (talk) 18:20, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose; this is not particularly consequential even in the US outside of his district, as it does not materially change the balance of power, and rarity in and of itself is not newsworthy.

  • Oppose I don't think we posted Johnson's election as Speaker, which is more significant as a news story. This doesn't change a whole lot even within the U.S. as others have said. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Under the long-running precedent, selection of a Speaker (or even that of a Prime Minister in Westminster Systems) isn't considered a landmark, notable event, mostly because their formal selection is usually tied to a prior event (e.g, the general election) and thus their eventually ascension to premiership is seen as inevitable; that, for instance, the UK has a new PM or the USA has a new Speaker upon reconvening after an election isn't major news; it was expected.
    In the case of Johnson, this was somewhat unique because it'd taken multiple ballots (and candidates) for one to emerge, but the outcome itself was ultimately predictable: "Republican majority elects Republican speaker on party-line basis." Had something particularly unusual happened (e.g, the House elected a Speaker that wasn't a sitting GOP member) that would've warranted its own event. But as it was, it was the closure of a story already posted to ITN: the ouster of McCarthy & "interregnum" that followed. - Nottheking (talk) 21:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    That's not what the story's about. After all, no one has been proposing blurbs for the deaths or resignation of unknown incumbent... Those are very common. However, to expel one is an extremely strong move that is strictly political; it's the equivalent to impeachment & removal from office. That is the actual topic being discussed; to direct the argument against something else would be something other than a move in good faith. - Nottheking (talk) 20:56, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't think so. We shouldn't be blurbing every SCOTUS member death, and while we did blurb RBG, she had far more influence (as well as was still sitting). While O'Connor is notable for being the first women on the court and having her hand in a few key decisions, her influence wasn't as strong as RBG. Masem (t) 15:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that's true, as she was at the ideological center of the Court and would be the one seeking compromise, whereas RBG being firmly on the left was frequently in the minority. Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:36, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm looking beyond just their role as a Justice (as one can argue for any Justice that they would be important in their role on the Court, either way, but again, we should not be trying to blurb all Justices). RGB was far more influential outside of the Court. Masem (t) 16:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think O'Connor was important both as a Justice and as a major figure in U.S. women's rights. Her decision striking down single-sex admissions in Mississippi University for Women v Hogan was a critical step in Equal Protection law. (And it was the basis for RBG's more famous, but not actually legally groundbreaking, opinion striking down single-sex admissions at VMI, United States v Virginia.) O'Connor was on TIME Magazine's list of the 25 most powerful women of the 20th Century. She was not just a Supreme Court justice, she was also an icon. RBG (to her personal surprise) became a celebrity in her last few years because some law students called her the Notorious RBG, but pre-internet female law students turned out in droves to hear O'Connor. ALKinNYC (talk) 21:31, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    While the circumstances of RBG's death were more notable, I’d say that O'Connor was more notable as a justice since she was the 1st woman on the Supreme Court & the swing vote in important cases. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 23:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't think it's typical to enter an RD as a blurb prior to the funeral. That being said, there are heavy edits being made and it could possibly make sense to wait a few hours for this one. I also believe she was immensely influential, paving the way for justices such as Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, Barrett, and Jackson. Jmanlucas (talk) 15:44, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • She's fabulous, her story was very inspirational personally for me and other young women, but "first woman on SCOTUS" probably doesn't raise her to the level of global significance needed for a blurb. Of course support RD once any quality issues are addressed, that should go without saying. Valereee (talk) 00:31, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Posted RD It looks good enough for RD, though it could use improvement with a few more citations and rewriting "Activities and memberships" to be less PROSELINE. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:47, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If it needs "a few more citations" it wasn't ready to be posted. As I pointed out, the section about the major decisions she was involved in is mostly unsourced, and that really should be sourced. Masem (t) 01:42, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support RD, neutral on blurb—The thing that makes the passing of Sandra Day O'Connor different from that of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the fact that RBG died while she was still a sitting justice, at a time when her absence from SCOTUS would effectively ensure a conservative supermajority. SDOC died of old age 18 years after she retired from the bench; it is far less consequential. On the other hand, there is something to be said for being the first woman to ever serve on the most powerful court in the most powerful country. For this reason, I can't outright oppose a blurb.

  • Oppose blurb I can't imagine we would ever blurb the death of a judge from any other country in the world (except in situations where 'death is the story'). I don't see the need to blurb this person just because they are an American judge. Chrisclear (talk) 01:49, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support blurb Ruth Bader Ginsburg got a blurb. I don't see why O'Connor shouldn't have one either. 159.118.77.237 (talk) 03:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose blurb The first woman on the US Supreme Court, yes, involved in some important decisions as such, yes. But beyond this (and the major siginificance being attributed to the "first" aspect) I am not seeing anything convincing enough to blurb especially when this position was held more than a decade and a half ago.
