Eclipses
See WT:YEARS#Eclipses for a matter relevant to this page. Arthur Rubin (alternate) (talk) 23:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
- I can't see any section for eclipses on the page you linked. The eclipse on April 8 is gonna be lit AF and should be added. 184.147.47.69 (talk) 01:47, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Artemis 2
I think NASA is launching Artemis 2 in May 2024, is that event significant enough to be put on this page? InjectableBacon (talk) 18:13, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- Actually it's been pushed back to November. But should definitely be included if/when the mission happens. It'll be the closest humans have come to the Moon since the early 1970s. Wjfox2005 (talk) 08:21, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 00:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

I would like to suggest changing the date format of this article to the DMY format (e.g. 6 June 2020 as opposed to June 6, 2020). The DMY format seems more international and more suitable for a "global" article like. Also DMY simply makes more sense as it goes from smallest to highest. At the village pump, I've presented a proposal to establish a standard to use DMY in general for all articles about "generic" years. The discussion got kind of messy however, and I'll propaly restart it at some point. In the meantime, I would like it to create consensus about changing 2024 specifically as well as all other nine articles about the 2020s to the DMY format.--Marginataen (talk) 08:41, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
After a week with no but one invalid objection, I've changed the format. The objection is invalid because there is no established consensus on using the same format across articles but only within articles. That is exactly what I'll be trying to do in the comming weeks, but until then the argument there is none and the objection invalid. I will not repost this reply across articles, only here on 2024, so please response here.--Marginataen (talk) 14:42, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

The tournament will start on January 19, 2024. Shouldn't we add this? Aminabzz (talk) 09:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- No, it is a regional sporting event. It is the same reason we don't add the superbowl or the NBA finals. PaulRKil (talk) 17:32, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Does China's Patriotic Education Law merit an entry?
Personally I oppose this as an entry, as there is no article for this law, it appears to be a purely domestic event, and its topic (education) usually doesn't merit entries on articles about years--there's no article for [years] in education.
This was the entry:
- China Patriotic Education Law will take effect
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- It doesn't. It appears to not even have an article so why would it ever be included. I'm starting to think we need to semi-protect the article. It seems every time we approach the new year that IP editors show up and put poorly sourced or outright bizarre entries. PaulRKil (talk) 18:41, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Domestic law changes are commonplace & they're rarely important enough for main year articles. Junior, local, domestic & regional competitions are also often wrongly added. A host leaving a game show was added, before being removed. Things such as those, which are nowhere near important enough, are often added to main year articles.

When does the article become present tense?
As of writing it is 8:35am UTC+2. I believe the first places to enter 2024 will cross over in 4 hours and 25 minutes from now. Will the 'January 1st' section become present/past tense when this happens? PrecariousWorlds (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

- @Cinnamon colbert: The "Year in various calendars" template was removed from Template:C21 year in topic by Johnson524 at 17:11, 14 November 2023. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @GeoffreyT2000: Multiple editors made requests on the C21 year in topic talk page asking to shorten the template in some considerable way: reasons being so that mobile editors don’t have to scroll so much to get to the actual content of ‘year’ articles, and since the template was so long it would often go deep into the body of articles. It was a WP:BOLD edit request for sure, so multiple inquiries were made on multiple WikiProject talk pages over the span multiple months to ask for ideas on how to make this edit happen without losing important content. In the end, there were net zero responses and nobody opposed, so I went ahead with deleting everything but the template’s wikilinks since discussions had gone nowhere. This is the first opposition I’ve heard on this to date, so if you can think of a way to add back the list of year formats in a way they do not interfere with the reasons I said above on why they were originally removed, then go ahead, but discussions about shortening this template had been ongoing for months at this point, and I felt obligated to conclude them somehow. Any feedback is appreciated. Johnson524 23:18, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Should we remove the Sea of Japan earthquake entry? I think we should. It only killed 20 people. DementiaGaming (talk) 04:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include. 7.6 magnitude isn't a minor quake, and the casualty figure is now almost 50. There is widespread damage to properties. This was Japan's largest earthquake since 2015. Wjfox2005 (talk) 08:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Borderline exlcude while not minor, context is important. It hit a country that is well prepared to handle earthquakes of that magnitude and the result is much less damage and loss of life compared to the earthquakes of similar magnitude we saw hit in Haiti and Turkey. Similarly, we don't include every Category 4-5 hurricane that hits the United States and causes a lot of damage and inflicts deaths in the dozens because the US is largely prepared to handle such storms. By extension, we should also exclude the plane crash that occurred. PaulRKil (talk) 13:15, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have changed my mind. The death toll has risen to 57 people, and although we're not getting an exact number on how expensive it is, it's now probably very, very, costly. Yeah, I think we should include it. DementiaGaming (talk) 16:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- I agree as well to include, but we should still Exclude the related plane crash in my point of view. PaulRKil (talk) 17:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

European centric
Why is the euro final down for 14 July, but the Asian and Africa equivalents not mentioned. 80.192.242.40 (talk) 16:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Regional competitions shouldn't be on main year articles. They should be on sub-articles such as 2024 in sports. X2023X (talk) 17:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Blocked sock. 33ABGirl (talk) 05:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)- They should be mentioned in my humble opinion, pending due weight compliance.
They should be on sub-articles such as 2024 in sports
– why so? If they receive sufficient coverage to fulfill DUE (which is our inclusion criteria, as opposed to the BS that was international notability), they should be mentioned here. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 00:51, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Page protection
People are slobbering over this page to the point where people are adding random domestic events that nobody cares about. I propose we protect this page for now until people realize that these events aren't notable enough. DementiaGaming (talk) 20:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Yes, it needs to be pending changes protected or semi-protected. A host leaving a game show & YouTuber no longer making videos were added to this article, before being rightly removed. X2023X (talk) 21:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Blocked sock. 33ABGirl (talk) 05:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)- I've requested to have the page bumped from semi-protected to extended protected. PaulRKil (talk) 12:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Even if that isn't granted, this page needs semi-protection for this year to prevent vandalism and inexperienced editors from including irrelevant entires. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 16:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- The page is semi-protected until Friday so if anything happens that warrants it to be protected again, then users can re-submit a request but they won't budge on a higher degree of protection. PaulRKil (talk) 17:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose extended-confirmed protection or anything higher. This would unfairly deter new editors and serves the message to others that we assume bad faith. Instead of preventing new editors (or "fans") from contributing as suggested by a previously T-Banned editor on the 2022 talk page, we should welcome then into the discussion and offer them a fair chance to defend their inclusion. For this rationale, I would suggest pending changes protection over semi. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 00:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Should we add the Kerman bombings to events?
So far the bombings in Iran killed at least 103 people. Grainmaster132 (talk) 15:21, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- It should be added but we should wait for more information on what exactly occurred. Entries like this tend to cause charged responses from various sides given the broader context of what is currently going on in the region so it is always best to wait in the initial stages. PaulRKil (talk) 15:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- I support inclusion because of the high death toll (103 so far), the fact it took place on the anniversary of the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, and received international coverage and reactions. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include, due to high death toll. Wjfox2005 (talk) 17:26, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Should we include the 2024 Haneda Airport runway collision and the Attempted assassination of Lee Jae-myung to this page? There has been a lot of back and forth about their inclusion.
Outcome will, of course, be honored. PaulRKil (talk) 16:24, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- I hope this doesn't come off as canvassing but it feels appropriate to notify the people involved in the edit warring so they may be able to provide their perspective @Heathy94, @DL6443, @DementiaGaming, @X2023X, @sinisreality2023, @MrJaydenfire, @Wikieditor019, @Jake11223344, @Vinicius mad, @Tri Ardiansyah, @Bobertrobert0709, @Indiana6724, @WolfishJT, @ PaulRKil (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- I oppose both entries for lacking due weight. The 2024 Haneda Airport runway collision didn't have a high death toll and wasn't a catastrophic incident (i.e. the passengers all survived), so it only merits an entry in 2024 in Japan and not this page. The attempted assassination of Lee Jae-myung didn't result in Lee Jae-myung's death (for now) and Lee Jae-myung wasn't a current or former head of state/government. By contrast, the 2022 assassination of Shinzo Abe resulted in Shinzo Abe's death who was a former head of government. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- With all due respect towards your opinion, due weight is defined at WP:DUE as
significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources
. You seem to be using due weight as a word to describe your own opinion on these events' material instinct instead and how to increase the chances of your comment not being seen as an argument, not necessarily in compliance with the policy. Since Japanese events rarely get coverage Stateside, when I hear about disasters happening at Haneda Airport from an NBC news alert on my phone, that's something that I would consider important or deserving of some attention. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 15:06, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- With all due respect towards your opinion, due weight is defined at WP:DUE as
- I also oppose as both events don't fall into being notable enough for entry in main year articles. Major transportation disasters are normally only included and this event did not result in a catastrophic incident and plane crashes with a larger loss of life have been excluded in the past. If anything, I'd support it briefly being mentioned in the earthquake entry as it appears to be a contributing factor as the coast guard plane was responding to the earthquake.
- In the case of the assassination attempt, Lee Jae-myung was not a current or former head of state/government and did not succumb to his injuries. For context, the inclusion of the assassination of Shinzo Abe in 2022 was debated because it happened after his premiership as some editors felt only assassinations of incumbents should be included, therefore trying to add an attempt on a non-national non-incumbent political figure wouldn't warrant inclusion in a main year article. PaulRKil (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Exclude the Haneda Airport runway collision, due to insufficient notability and low death toll. I am neutral on Lee Jae-myung, but leaning towards exclude. Wjfox2005 (talk) 17:27, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Exclude both. The death toll of the crash is 5. Transport accidents with similar or higher death tolls happen every day. The stabbing didn't kill anyone. There was only one victim who's never been a head of state/gov. It appears to be a lone wolf attack; there's no indication of the suspect having any international links, nor links to gangs, terrorist groups etc. X2023X (talk) 19:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Blocked sock. 33ABGirl (talk) 05:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)- Exclude Haneda Airport collision per ES of previous reverts prior to my self-revert, but support a brief mention in the January 1 earthquake entry per PaulRKil. Neutral on Lee Jae-myung. --DL6443 (Talk/Contribs) 21:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- As a side note, I wasn't aware of the previous reverts when I added the Haneda Airport entry, and hastily self-reverted --DL6443 (Talk/Contribs) 21:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include the 2024 Haneda Airport runway collision as part of the 2024 Sea of Japan earthquake section, as one of the planes involved was directly related. Exclude the attempted assassination of Lee Jae-myung as the wounds were not fatal. 33ABGirl (talk) 10:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- I also would just note that an air incident could also be notable for the lack of fatalities as well. US Airways Flight 1549 is notable for that reason. I think for now we keep it mentioned in the earthquake entry but it may be revisited once the investigation continues. There’s a lot of speculation that the fact the plane was made of composite materials played a significant role in the lack of fatalities on the airliner, but nothing official. PaulRKil (talk) 15:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include as part of the entry for the earthquake. DUE would govern that given the high amount of coverage from RS's, especially international coverage, we at least acknowledge it here. No opinion on Lee yet, leaning exclude due to lack of ability to find more widespread coverage in US media (though I found a few pieces about it) InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 04:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

This is literally some of the biggest news of the whole decade so far, hundreds of public figures are being exposed as paedophiles, and no one is talking about it on this page? Former Presidents are being exposed here! I mean, its just my opinion, yous can tell me what you think. 123WasTaken (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

- Also, the flight logs were released in 2021 (they've just been circulating again on social media recently). The new info now is just names which were previously redacted in the court proceedings. Not all of them have been accused of any crimes (some are witnesses and victims). – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 13:14, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

There was a note at the top of the Events section, only visible when editing, asking editors not to add things which are ineligible for main year articles. It was removed for not having consensus, though I'd say it being there unchallenged was silent consensus. Should the note be reinstated? If not, what's a better way to deter things being frequently added including local/sub-national elections, entertainment events, the personal lives of celebrities, low/zero-death toll accidents, junior/youth/college/local/domestic/regional sports events, local/sub-national elections? Such things being added is the biggest problem on main year articles. X2023X (talk) 17:59, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Should the MNDAA capture of Laukkai be included
On Jan 5 2024, the major scam hub and the capital city of Kokang SAZ, Laukkai in Myanmar was captured fully by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and was a major defeat for the military junta of Myanmar. Should this be included. Arthur Taksin (talk) 11:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Borderline exclude because this page is generally not for providing details about ongoing armed conflicts, even if important, with the main exception of when armed conflicts begin or end. The specific page for the Myanmar Civil War includes the capture of Laukkai in the lead as part of the infobox on the right, and potential readers can just click on the hyperlink in the lead on this page to go to that page. This isn't denying the due weight and importance of the event, but I don't believe this page is best suited for including such details. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 17:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Does North Korean recognition of South Korea merit inclusion?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I added the following entry:
- January 15
- North Korea–South Korea relations: North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un says Korean reunification is "no longer possible" and asks the Supreme People's Assembly to amend the constitution to formally recognize South Korea as a separate country.[1]
I believe it merits entry because the Korean War has never had a formal peace treaty, and both countries--North Korea and South Korea--have never recognized each other, claiming the entire territory of the Korean Peninsula. This change from Kim Jong Un (totalitarian dictator of North Korea) appears to merit due weight, at least in my opinion. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 01:03, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Exclude. No concrete actions have been taken by either government thus far, apart from an announcement made by the North Korean Government. Considering that the North Korean Government frequently makes such announcements without subsequent action, including this particular announcement while excluding other similar ones would be considered giving undue weight WP:UNDUE. If substantial action is taken, such as the formal amendment of the constitution, then the inclusion of that specific action can be considered. 33ABGirl (talk) 03:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Super Bowl
Hey, so the Super Bowl is coming up in the US. You think we should add that to predicted and scheduled events? ItsShrimple (talk) 22:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose It goes in 2024 in sports, not this page. The Super Bowl is an American domestic sporting event that does not have sufficient due weight to belong on this page. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 03:56, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Makes sense, just wondering why it’s on the 2025 page under predicted events. ItsShrimple (talk) 12:13, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't believe it's included in the 1967 to 2023 pages. Best placed in the 2024 in sports page. GoodDay (talk) 04:50, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: Non global recurring annual event, we should only include non-annual global level events such as the World Cup and the Olympics. The sources of an event need to demonstrate its significance in the context of a year. Most sources for the Super Bowl amount to “It’s occurring on x date at x arena.” That happens every year, what makes this year extraordinary? PaulRKil (talk) 05:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Upano Valley Sites
You think we should add the discovery of the Upano Valley sites? Pretty large discovery in my opinion. ItsShrimple (talk) 22:37, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- Given their age, this discovery does seem notable. I'm open to inclusion, provided the entry is written to emphasise they are the oldest. Wjfox2005 (talk) 12:51, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include This was a very major archaeological discovery. Just because there is a more specific page does not mean that it cannot be included here. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:55, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Should these entries be included for space reasons--I added the main article hyperlinks in the lead (2024 Iran-Pakistan skirmishes and Houthi involvement in the Israel–Hamas war).
- Iran carries out missile strikes in Iraq and Syria, declaring them as retaliation for the Kerman bombings on 3 January
- January 16 – Iran carries out missile strikes in Pakistan, declaring that it was targeting the Sunni Baloch separatist group Jaish ul-Adl, which had claimed responsibility for the 2019 Khash–Zahedan suicide bombing[citation needed]
- January 17 – Iranian-backed Houthi movement attacked the Marshall Islands-flagged, United States-owned and operated bulk carrier Genco Picardy in the Gulf of Aden.[1]
- January 18 – Pakistan carries out retaliatory missile strikes in Iran as a response to the earlier Iranian missile strikes inside Pakistani territory.[2]

Does the 2024 Uqturpan earthquake merit inclusion?
I'm unsure, but if there is a consensus to include it the entry should be rewritten, particularly to remove grammatical errors. This may have merit as it had an effect on three countries, but pages about years don't include every international natural disaster.
This was the entry, which has grammatical errors:
- January 22 - A earthquake shakes shared borders between China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, leaving 15 deads.[1][2]
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

"In popular culture"
Shouldn't there be a section for predicted events in popular culture? 46.142.141.1 (talk) 16:27, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes it is, pop culture should be on the article as it had an impact on each year, since 20th century. ArtForDecades610 (talk) 22:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Strongly Include for me, pop culture has its defining moments on each year and of course decade. Technology could be the further influence as it had an effect on media and entertainment. Take for example, movies, video games, music, literature, sports, and TV shows and specials. These like slang and technical terms are also significant on shaping world cultures and traditions, as well as language history and development. ArtForDecades610 (talk) 18:42, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose pending Due Weight. Rarely is stuff like this widely mentioned, and even then not by a majority of reliable sources. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 03:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include Because, why not? Gold Like Shore8 (talk) 00:43, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Strongly Include Normally, I would say that, but I don’t have anything wrong with pop culture and media events, as you can see, they are completely covered by journalism and academic sources. These events can stay as long as it wants as long it follows Wikipedia core principles and policies. -“Userbase3913” (talk) 03:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose because popular culture in 2024 already has specific pages for it, and usually doesn't have sufficient due weight to be on this page. See 2024 by topic (i.e. arts, music, sports, etc.) for such events.

Does this entry merit inclusion--I can't find an article on it.
I personally oppose inclusion because there's no article on this event, the death toll is low, and the last sentence indicates a lack of media coverage and investigation about the event.
- January 20 – An airstrike kills five elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards in a building in Damascus. Iran blames Israel.[1]
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 03:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

2024 Bashkortostan protests
Should we add the 2024 Bashkortostan protests? Seems significant enough to warrant inclusion. ItsShrimple (talk) 16:16, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Exclude. Lack of international notability. Wjfox2005 (talk) 07:48, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Include. It was on Portal:Current events, so I think that makes it eligible for being on here. DementiaGaming (talk) 20:42, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- I believe that this may not be a reliable indicator of the notability of an event. After briefly editing on the portal today for the first time, it appears that the events featured are selected by a very limited number of editors. Content disputes are often resolved through edit warring rather than engaging in meaningful discussions. 33ABGirl (talk) 11:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Kenneth Eugene smith execution
He is the first person to be executed by nitrogen gas in history, I feel like that should be noted in here 2603:8080:7CF0:8820:C888:AB62:5E18:2C37 (talk) 19:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Borderline oppose, because I believe this can better go in 2024 in politics, which I added the event to. Kenneth Eugene Smith was an American convicted murderer, and his execution involved legal challenges and reactions, including different views and laws (i.e. other countries' laws) regarding capital punishment. The page about 2024 has limited space, and usually doesn't include events surrounding criminal law. If other editors believe the entry should be included, and there is a consensus, the event can be added to the main page.JohnAdams1800 (talk) 04:21, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral, and leaning towards exclusion. The method of execution is somewhat notable, being the world's first. However, I'm not sure if the event itself merits inclusion on the 2024 page. He was just one man, and largely unknown. Wjfox2005 (talk) 10:19, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Leaning include, at least for now, as it's a notable execution. World's first as far as I know. Waiting to see what enduring notability this one has. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 19:08, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Does this entry on the Israel-Hamas war merit inclusion?
I left the entry on the page for now, but I personally oppose inclusion because I believe the entry lacks due weight as a minor event of a much larger, ongoing armed conflict--the Israel-Hamas War. This page usually doesn't include events about major ongoing armed conflicts, both because information can rapidly change and because there are timelines for such events--Timeline of the Israel–Hamas war.
This is the entry:
- February 1
- Israel–Hamas war: United States imposes sanctions on Israeli settlers over the violence in West Bank.[1]
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 16:26, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, pending due weight. My concerns are linked to WP:TOOSOON InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 17:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, I agree that it is too minor for this article and comparatively isn't even a major event in the context of the war. Yeoutie (talk) 16:26, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. For the reasons others have already given here. Wjfox2005 (talk) 08:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Should these entries be included?
- February 1 – Russian invasion of Ukraine: All 27 EU member states agree on a €50bn ($55bn) aid package to support Ukraine.[1]
- February 2 – The US launches airstrikes on 85 targets in Iraq and Syria in response to a deadly drone attack on a US military base.[2]
- February 3 – Red Sea crisis: The US and UK launch joint strikes on 36 Houthi targets across 13 locations in Yemen.[3]
33ABGirl (talk) 17:11, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose all as less significant and incremental updates of conflicts that are more appropriate for their respective timelines. 33ABGirl (talk) 17:13, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- I also oppose for the same reasons as 33ABGirl. These events are part of major ongoing armed conflicts that are mentioned in the lead, and have their own timelines. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 19:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Include. A $55 billion aid package (equivalent to the GDP of a small country!) is hardly "incremental". This will shape the course of the conflict for many months to come. And you clearly aren't familiar with European politics – this was a really pivotal agreement, which followed immense pressure on the Hungarian government. As for the other two, how are airstrikes on 85 (eighty-five!) targets "insignificant"? And another 36 after that? What exactly would be significant in your eyes? Wjfox2005 (talk) 17:27, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Include. All of these are relevant.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 16:09, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Ukraine and Red Sea entries, but include US airstrikes on February 2. I agree with above that the first two are just small updates in major wars that we have seen before, but the airstrikes present the first major escalation and response to the ongoing attacks on US bases in the region which is not represented on this page as of yet.

Excuse me, but I put in several events here, and I just checked back and they're gone. 8UB3RG1N3 (talk) 16:06, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- It appears user@JohnAdams1800 removed your entries for being either too specific for this page or lacking a reliable source. Looking at your additions, I would suggest that they are better suited in pages such as 2024 in the United States or 2024 in Aviation as this page is for events with sufficient international notability and due weight. If you think that an event should be included here but was deleted, you can make a new talk page section and invite other users for their opinions. Yeoutie (talk) 21:22, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
Should this entry be included?
- February 6 – Former President of Chile Sebastián Piñera dies in a helicopter crash at the age of 74.[1]
33ABGirl (talk) 06:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the inclusion of this death on the main year page, as there is a separate page dedicated to listing deaths. While the cause of death is extraordinary, I am uncertain if it rises to meriting a spot on this page. The individual in question was also a former head of state, not an incumbent one. 33ABGirl (talk) 07:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support because Piñera is a former head of state, his death received widespread coverage by reliable sources and international heads of state, and his cause of death was extraordinary.
- I opposed including the earlier attempted assassination of Lee Jae-myung (2 January 2024) because the latter was never a head of state, survived the assassination attempt, and did not receive reactions from international heads of state. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 02:56, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Should the 29 February 2024 Al-Rashid massacre be included?
I personally oppose including this entry, because it's an ongoing event in a major armed conflict (the Israel-Hamas War) with its own timeline (Timeline of the Israel–Hamas war). The death toll and investigation surrounding the event are still ongoing.
Update: It appears there is a consensus for inclusion. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 01:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Include. Once again, we have an event that is obviously notable, with massive amounts of worldwide media coverage, and international condemnation – and in this case, involving the literal massacre of 112 people. Yet, simply because it's part of an ongoing conflict, it apparently somehow "doesn't count". Let me ask you, is there any single event within a larger conflict that is allowed to be included? Should we go back through the 1939–1945 pages and begin mass-deleting a bunch of entries? Wjfox2005 (talk) 09:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- This page is not protected, and the event's inclusion risks vandalism and violations of NPOV. The Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident page is extended-confirmation protected. The incident is part of one of the most contentious topics in Wikipedia (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict), and I support inclusion after the death toll and details of the incident are verified.
- Side-note: I don't know why the semi-protection for this page was removed, considering this page routinely gets irrelevant entries included. I'm not going to ask for it to be added back because administrators want evidence of vandalism first (pages aren't preemptively protected). JohnAdams1800 (talk) 21:32, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Include Getting a lot media coverage, it was a leading item on BBC news a short time ago. PatGallacher (talk) 00:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Include: While it is an event in an ongoing major armed conflict, it has proven to be a far more significant event versus the more typical occurrences we've seen in this conflict and seems to be a turning point in the international view of Israel's handling of the war. There appears to be a lot of countries that are publicly scrutinizing Israel for the first time as a result. Not to delve too far into Crystal Ball territory, I think it is notable just for the reaction by Israel's allies afterward. PaulRKil (talk) 15:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Is there an article for this entry (Nigeria student abduction)? I'm looking for a Wikipedia article about it.
I support inclusion due to the number of students who were abducted (it has sufficient due weight) and widespread international coverage. But I can't find a Wikipedia article on it, as my goal is to provide a hyperlink for the event itself. This is the entry:
- 287 students are abducted by gunmen from a government-owned school in Kaduna State, Nigeria.[1]
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 04:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- I tried to make an article about it but the entry was declined. Draft:2024 Kaduna State kidnapping see here if you want to expand it. DementiaGaming (talk) 13:48, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Does the passage of the AI Act in Europe merit an entry? I personally oppose it.
I oppose inclusion because I believe this entry can better go in 2024 in science (I added it there), as this article usually doesn't include domestic laws for entries.
This is the entry:
- March 13 – The Artificial Intelligence Act, the world's first comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, is passed by the European Union.[2]
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 13:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, anything that's even slightly interesting, or science/tech-related should ALWAYS be deleted. That seems to be the default response to everything on here. Apparently we're ONLY allowed to post election results, such as those from remote Pacific Islands that most people haven't even heard of. Never mind the fact that AI is emerging as one of the global issues of our time, and this was the first agreement of its kind in the world, and applies extraterritorially (i.e. like the GDPR), as well as to EU member states. Wjfox2005 (talk) 15:49, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- I kept the entry, and will ensure it stays on the page unless there's a consensus to remove it. Also the page doesn't include every election, mainly just national elections for heads of government & state (i.e. referendums, local/regional elections, or special/by-elections are rarely included) that receive reliable coverage.
- Side-note: I'm not anti-science/technology--I'm a college student majoring in mathematics. This page and 2024 in science rarely mention new mathematical discoveries and proofs, despite mathematics being a level-1 vital article. The last entry that I found on mathematics for the year pages was in 1994 (the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem). My point is lots of advances aren't mentioned on the year pages in general.JohnAdams1800 (talk) 23:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Wjfox2005 I agree we should include the AI Act but I also think every sovereign nation should have their elections where their executive office is at stake, regardless of the size of the country listed. Those "remote Pacific Islands" comprise of about 3.5 million people when you exclude Australia and New Zealand. PaulRKil (talk) 12:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Include because it is an act that covers multiple nations by way of it being an AU regulation and as the entry says, it is the first regulatory framework for AI. Definitely significant in the AI boom that we are seeing right now. PaulRKil (talk) 12:26, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Should the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse be included? I oppose inclusion.
I keep removing it and someone keeps adding the entry back.
I oppose inclusion because the casualty toll is low, it is a domestic transportation disaster in the United States, and has not caused major disruption to the U.S. or global economy compared to say the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction.
The entry is:
- March 26 – A container ship collides with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, United States, causing a total collapse of the bridge and the deaths of six people.
JohnAdams1800 (talk) 15:58, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- I tentatively think include this entry. I agree that the casualty count is low and it is a domestic event, but the large amount of media coverage combined with the uniqueness of the event (a boat doesn't collide into a bridge and completely destroy it every day) outweighs the concerns I may have. Yeoutie (talk) 16:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Include. I have never seen so much media coverage on a single event since the terrorists attacked Israel. 30,000 people crossed that bridge every day before collapse. DementiaGaming (talk) 00:23, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Include. For the reasons already stated by Yeoutie and DementiaGaming. Wjfox2005 (talk) 18:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose not international notable. Domestic tragedy. _-_Alsor (talk) 22:02, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Super Bowl
The Super Bowl had a record-breaking viewer count of 123 million spectators and is the most-watched American broadcast of all time, surpassing the Apollo 11 Moon landing. There is no way it should not be included.
Yes, events on this list are based on how popular they were, and I don’t think that 123 million spectators were geared up and excited to go see the news broadcast on the “2024 Korochansky Ilyushin Il-76 crash” DementiaGaming (talk) 22:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
