Background

[edit]

hey @Bestagon, thanks for working on this to make less stubby and support the candidacy for ITN. I've tried to expand in places as well. Much of the news coverage is around the demographics and nationality of migrants crossing through central america every year. We could expand the article further by including this in the background, I do think its important context, but I'm conscious of WP:Proportion especially given the other sections about the actual crash are not as substantial.

@Schwinnspeed: I think you've got the wrong account, I think you're looking for @The Bestagon: =). Bestagon02:33, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! (and sorry, this must happen quite a bit!) I am indeed looking for @The Bestagon: and/or @Jim Michael 2: - wdyt, further expansion needed for ITN posting? This should really be sufficient to address the stubbiness concerns. If we must, we can expand further to include migrant demographics and migration patterns through Panama in the background section, but I'd be hesitant considering WP:Proportion to the details of the actual crash itself.

Hi @Schwinnspeed, I think this should be sufficient enough for posting. Thanks for your work on the article! I thought of including the demographics as well, but I also don't think that's fit here. The ⬡ Bestagon T/C 06:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article should be posted to ITN. Some of the editors commenting on this article there say it's not notable enough for ITN. Some of them say it's not notable enough for an article. However, they're wrongly describing this as a regular traffic accident, despite it being well beyond that. The passengers were from several different countries and were heading for the US. It's highly unlikely that all or most of those onboard were legally in Panama & intending to cross all of the several international borders on their intended journey legally.
