This page provides a place to discuss new items for inclusion on In the news (ITN), a protected template on the Main Page (see past items in the ITN archives). Do not report errors in ITN items that are already on the Main Page here— discuss those at the relevant section of WP:ERRORS.

This candidates page is integrated with the daily pages of Portal:Current events. A light green header appears under each daily section – it includes transcluded Portal:Current events items for that day. You can discuss ITN candidates under the header.

Glossary

  • Blurbs are one-sentence summaries of the news story.
    • Altblurbs, labelled alt1, alt2, etc., are alternative suggestions to cover the same story.
    • A target article, bolded in text, is the focus of the story. Each blurb must have at least one such article, but you may also link non-target articles.
  • Articles in the Ongoing line describe events getting continuous coverage.
  • The Recent deaths (RD) line includes any living thing whose death was recently announced. Consensus may decide to create a blurb for a recent death.

All articles linked in the ITN template must pass our standards of review. They should be up-to-date, demonstrate relevance via good sourcing and have at least an acceptable quality.

Nomination steps

  • Make sure the item you want to nominate has an article that meets our minimum requirements and contains reliable coverage of a current event you want to create a blurb about. We will not post about events described in an article that fails our quality standards.
  • Find the correct section below for the date of the event (not the date nominated). Do not add sections for new dates manually – a bot does that for us each day at midnight (UTC).
  • Create a level 4 header with the article name (==== Your article here ====). Add (RD) or (Ongoing) if appropriate.
Then paste the {{ITN candidate}} template with its parameters and fill them in. The news source should be reliable, support your nomination and be in the article. Write your blurb in simple present tense. Below the template, briefly explain why we should post that event. After that, save your edit. Your nomination is ready!
  • You may add {{ITN note}} to the target article's talk page to let editors know about your nomination.

The better your article's quality, the better it covers the event and the wider its perceived significance (see WP:ITNSIGNIF for details), the better your chances of getting the blurb posted.

Headers

  • When the article is ready, updated and there is consensus to post, you can mark the item as (Ready). Remove that wording if you feel the article fails any of these necessary criteria.
  • Admins should always separately verify whether these criteria are met before posting blurbs marked (Ready). For more guidance, check WP:ITN/A.
    • If satisfied, change the header to (Posted).
    • Where there is no consensus, or the article's quality remains poor, change the header to (Closed) or (Not posted).
    • Sometimes, editors ask to retract an already-posted nomination because of a fundamental error or because consensus changed. If you feel the community supports this, remove the item and mark the item as (Pulled).

Voicing an opinion on an item

Format your comment to contain "support" or "oppose", and include a rationale for your choice. In particular, address the notability of the event, the quality of the article, and whether it has been updated.

Please do...

Shortcut
  1. Pick an older item to review near the bottom of this page, before the eligibility runs out and the item scrolls off the page and gets abandoned in the archive, unused and forgotten.
  2. Review an item even if it has already been reviewed by another user. You may be the first to spot a problem, or the first to confirm that an identified problem was fixed. Piling on the list of "support!" votes will help administrators see what is ready to be posted on the Main Page.
  3. Tell about problems in articles if you see them. Be bold and fix them yourself if you know how, or tell others if it's not possible.

Please do not...

Shortcut
  1. Add simple "support!" or "oppose!" votes without including your reasons. Similarly, curt replies such as "who?", "meh", or "duh!" are not helpful. A vote without reasoning means little for us, please elaborate yourself.
  2. Oppose an item just because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. We post a lot of such content, so these comments are generally unproductive.
  3. Accuse other editors of supporting, opposing or nominating due to a personal bias (such as ethnocentrism). We at ITN do not handle conflicts of interest.
  4. Comment on a story without first reading the relevant article(s).
  5. Oppose a recurring item here because you disagree with the recurring items criteria. Discuss them here.
  6. Use ITN as a forum for your own political or personal beliefs. Such comments are irrelevant to the outcome and are potentially disruptive.

Suggesting updates

There are two places where you can request corrections to posted items:

  • Anything that does not change the intent of the blurb (spelling, grammar, markup issues, updating death tolls etc.) should be discussed at WP:Errors.
  • Discuss major changes in the blurb's intent or very complex updates as part of the current ITNC nomination.

  • Comment I have been trimming down the article for a bit. It feels like multiple different people with very little knowledge of the subject has been using the article for an essay-writing practice, so I decided to be aggressive and remove a good chunk of unsourced statements. Plenty of redundant text blocks, too. Juxlos (talk) 14:48, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Juxlos: I appreciate your efforts here, but unfortunately I think this has may have been a bit overzealous, for example "Beginning in 1996, Jiang began a series of reforms in the state-controlled media aimed at promoting the "core of leadership" under himself, and at the same time crushing some of his political opponents" and statements like that. If true, it sounds like the sort of thing that should be in the article, and we should concentrate on trying to find sourcing for it rather than chopping it... It's a bit of a paradox, because we want everything cited, but equally we don't usually remove material on sight without at least verifying that no obvious sourcing is available... Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 16:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've added a bunch of citations and a fair bit of detail, and with the help of other editors we've finally resolved all citation needed tags. The article is still light on details on his actual tenure; I'll start work on that. But at least there don't appear to be any obvious falsehoods. I think we're good to go.

Alt blurbs are welcome, I just put in a blurb which I felt was the most succinct to describe the repeal.

  • Wait. It's far too early to know what the impacts will be - so far it's just a bit of lava confined to the summit, and some red skies. Mauna Loa erupts effusively, so it's possible that the increasing volumes of lava start flowing downhill over the following days, and reaches populated areas (the last eruption almost reached Hilo). But unless that happens, it doesn't have the impact necessary for ITN. As a procedural point, if this eruption becomes significant enough to merit consideration for ITN, it would have enough material to split out 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa and use that as the bold link, rather than a few sentences in the much broader Mauna Loa article. Modest Genius talk 17:24, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. I was just putting this out there to alert people of a developing story that could become ITN-worthy. Though maybe I'm not nominating correctly(I'm new to Wikipedia) PrecariousWorlds (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!!!!! I know this is about a sport and a country none of the Admins here care about. Even worse, it's only about WOMEN'S sport. But at least have a bloody look at this nomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HiLo48 (talk) 23:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I looked at it. Problem is, much as I think we need more women's sport in ITN ... it's not really ITN, is it? Probably because it's only the 7th time the tournament has ever taken place. As far as I can see, we're really only featuring international women's tournaments so far (apart from a random US basketball and a volleyball tournament, but they take place together). Now that's something we should probably be looking at, but at the moment I don't think a competition in one of its first iterations meets ITN standards. Black Kite (talk) 23:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because of the nature of Australian rules football, an international championship is unlikely for a long time. This is the peak championship in the sport. Kinda like the World Series, if being international is an issue. Even if an international championship evolved, this would be the more important event for much longer still. This is the women's equivalent of the AFL Grand Final, an ITN/R event. HiLo48 (talk) 02:43, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    ...if being international is an issue: But then we have at the top of ITNC:

    Please do not...Oppose an item solely because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. This applies to a high percentage of the content we post and is generally unproductive.

WTF? I wasn't the one who objected on the basis of it not being international. HiLo48 (talk) 06:10, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can assure the world that this HAS BEEN headline news in Australia, which is obviously enough. HiLo48 (talk) 10:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. While I'm sympathetic to the desire to get more women's sport into ITN, this does not appear to be significant enough. Aussie rules football is a minority sport that doesn't merit more than one story per year, and we already post the men's event. The women's version is recently established, small, and attracts a tiny fraction of the news coverage (at least as far as I can find from Google News). If they had been held at the same time then a joint blurb might make sense; but IMO the women's event doesn't reach the bar for a blurb on its own. Modest Genius talk 13:46, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the thing - the fire doesn't have long-term notability compared to the protests, so there's no reason a separate article on it should be made. It should be part of the protest article. This is where editors tend to lose focus of NOTNEWS because they want to be first to create that new article. Masem (t) 23:32, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's a shockingly fast decline from his public appearances two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I've had to orange-level tag three sections (one, the list of awards, was subsequently deleted), and there are several {{cn}} tags throughout the article. Modest Genius talk 15:17, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. And fixed.BabbaQ (talk) 16:13, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see that the national team text was moved, but its coverage remains sparse. —Bagumba (talk) 17:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've undone that move - club and international play are fundamentally different so shouldn't be merged. Looks like an attempt to get around the orange tag without actually improving the article. Modest Genius talk 17:29, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Having a section with a few sentences are weird in my opinion. Someone might be able to expand.BabbaQ (talk) 17:38, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have some sources that should help with that. I can add to it in a few hours from now. Kaiser matias (talk) 21:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Have expanded it, but will leave for others to determine if the tag should remain. Kaiser matias (talk) 01:19, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Also added one source. BabbaQ (talk) 08:07, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The death place in the infobox is unsourced, and not mentioned in the body. The death date is wrtten as 24 November, but the cited sources only say his death was announced on that date, not explicitly mentioning when he died. Is there anything more definitive?—Bagumba (talk) 10:06, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed a sourced that states he died at his home in Nacka. But good call to see that.BabbaQ (talk) 10:14, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And that source also confirms he died on Thursday (24th).—Bagumba (talk) 15:30, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(Closed) 2022 Chesapeake shooting

Good faith nomination, but I'm closing this somewhat out of a sense of mercy. Given this lacks the extenuating circumstances of the Colorado Springs shooting which wasn't even posted, prolonged discussion will likely not be beneficial nor productive.--🌈WaltCip-(talk) 13:36, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominators often include links to external websites and other references in discussions on this page. It is usually best to provide such links using the inline URL syntax [http://example.com] rather than using <ref></ref> tags, because that keeps all the relevant information in the same place as the nomination without having to jump to this section, and facilitates the archiving process.
