New Brompton F.C. in 1894
New Brompton F.C. in 1894

During their 1894–95 season, New Brompton F.C. (known as Gillingham F.C. since 1912) competed in the Southern Football League Division Two. The club had been formed a year earlier but in the inaugural season played only friendly matches and games in the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup and FA Amateur Cup. In 1894, New Brompton turned professional and joined the newly formed Southern League. The team dominated Division Two of the new league, winning all but one of their matches, and gained promotion to Division One by winning an end-of-season "test match" against Swindon Town, who had finished bottom of the higher division. New Brompton also entered the FA Cup, reaching the third qualifying round. The team played 15 competitive matches, winning 13, drawing none, and losing two. Arthur Rule was the team's top goalscorer for the season. The highest attendance recorded at the club's home, the Athletic Ground, was approximately 8,000 for the visit of Chatham in the FA Cup.

W. S. Gilbert

W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911) was an English dramatist, librettist and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Arthur Sullivan. The most popular Gilbert and Sullivan collaborations include H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado, one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre. These Savoy operas continue to be performed regularly today throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. Gilbert's creative output included more than 75 plays and libretti, numerous stories, poems, lyrics and various other comic and serious pieces. His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, and his comic operas inspired the development of American musical theatre, especially influencing Broadway writers. The journalist Frank M. Boyd wrote of Gilbert: "Till one actually came to know the man, one shared the opinion ... that he was a gruff, disagreeable person; but nothing could be less true of the really great humorist. He had ... precious little use for fools ... but he was at heart as kindly and lovable a man as you could wish to meet." This cabinet card of Gilbert was produced by the photographic studio Elliott & Fry around 1882–1883.

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch
Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch

American actor Gregory Peck had an extensive career in film, television, radio, and on stage. His breakthrough role was as a Catholic priest who attempts to start a mission in China in the 1944 film The Keys of the Kingdom, for which he received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In the late 1940s, Peck received three more Academy Award nominations for Best Actor, for his roles as a caring father in The Yearling (1946), a journalist who pretends to be Jewish to write an exposé on American antisemitism in Gentleman's Agreement (1947), and a brave airman in Twelve O'Clock High (1949). He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Atticus Finch (pictured), a lawyer attempting to exonerate a black man wrongly accused of rape, in the courtroom drama To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). The role topped the AFI's 50 Greatest Screen Heroes. Peck made his television debut in 1982 by appearing as President Abraham Lincoln in the miniseries The Blue and the Gray. (Full list...)

Holothuria fuscogilva

Holothuria fuscogilva, also known as the white teatfish, is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. It is found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific in shallow waters near islands and around coral reefs. Juveniles live in shallower waters (such as inter-tidal zones) and then migrate to deeper waters as they mature. Adults of this species weigh between 2.4 and 4 kilograms (5.3 and 8.8 pounds) and are elliptical in shape with a firm texture. They feature lateral papillae (teats), which are often buried in the sand. The species is consumed as food and is vulnerable to over-exploitation from commercial fishing. This H. fuscogilva sea cucumber was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park off the Red Sea coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

Artur Phleps

Artur Phleps (29 November 1881 – 21 September 1944) was an Austro-Hungarian, Romanian and Nazi officer who was an SS-Obergruppenführer und General der Waffen-SS in the Waffen-SS during World War II. He was an Austro-Hungarian Army officer before and during World War I. During the interwar period, he joined the Romanian Army and became an adviser to King Carol. After he spoke out against the government, he was made to leave the army. In 1941 he joined the Waffen-SS. He saw action on the Eastern Front before raising two Waffen-SS mountain divisions and one corps in occupied Yugoslavia. Units under his command committed many crimes against the civilian population of the Independent State of Croatia. This became controversial when his onetime translator, Kurt Waldheim, successfully ran for the Austrian presidency in the 1980s. In addition to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, Phleps was awarded the German Cross in Gold, and, posthumously, was awarded the Oak Leaves to his Knight's Cross. (Full article...)

Anonymous double portrait of Qalaherriaq
Anonymous double portrait of Qalaherriaq

Qalaherriaq (c. 1834 – 1856) was an Inughuit hunter from Cape York in northwestern Greenland. Born around 1834 and baptized Erasmus Augustine Kallihirua, he was taken aboard the British barque HMS Assistance in 1850 as an interpreter during the search for Franklin's lost expedition. He guided the ship to Wolstenholme Fjord to investigate rumors of a massacre of Franklin's crew, but found the corpses of local Inughuit and crew from an unrelated British vessel. Poor sea conditions prevented the Assistance from returning to Qalaherriaq's family, and he was instead taken to England and placed in the custody of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. He was enrolled in St Augustine's College at Canterbury and studied English and Christianity. In 1855, he was tasked by Edward Feild, Bishop of Newfoundland, to join him on a mission to the Labrador Inuit. Qalaherriaq's health problems, which he had developed during his service as an interpreter, worsened after his arrival in Newfoundland, and he died at St. John's in 1856 around 22 years old.

Boeing Crew Flight Test

Boeing Crew Flight Test was the first crewed mission of the Boeing Starliner capsule. Launched on 5 June 2024, the mission flew a crew of two NASA astronauts, Barry E. Wilmore and Sunita Williams, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to the International Space Station. The mission was intended to last eight days, ending on 14 June with a landing in the American Southwest. However, the capsule's thrusters malfunctioned as Starliner approached the ISS. After more than two months of investigation, NASA decided it was too risky to return Wilmore and Williams to Earth aboard Starliner. Instead, the Boeing spacecraft returned uncrewed on 7 September 2024, and the astronauts will ride down on the SpaceX Crew-9 spacecraft in February 2025. This photograph shows the Crew Flight Test launch, with capsule Calypso atop an Atlas V rocket.

Rivers Cuomo, frontman of Weezer
Rivers Cuomo, frontman of Weezer

Pinkerton is the second studio album by the American rock band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996, by DGC Records. To better capture their live sound, the band self-produced Pinkerton, creating a darker, more abrasive album than their 1994 debut Weezer. The lyrics express loneliness and disillusionment with the rock lifestyle, and reference Japanese culture. Pinkerton produced the singles "El Scorcho" and "The Good Life". It debuted at number 19 on the Billboard 200, failing to match sales of Weezer's debut, and received mixed reviews; Rolling Stone readers voted it the third-worst album of 1996. For subsequent albums, Weezer returned to more traditional pop songwriting and less personal lyrics. In subsequent years, Pinkerton was reassessed; several publications named it one of the best albums of the 1990s, and it was certified platinum in 2016. (Full article...)

SMS Helgoland
SMS Helgoland

SMS Helgoland (pictured) was a dreadnought battleship of the German Imperial Navy. Her design improved from the Nassau class, including an increase in the bore diameter of the main guns. Her keel was laid down at the Howaldtswerke shipyards in Kiel, launched on 25 September 1909, and commissioned on 23 August 1911. During World War I the ship participated in several sweeps into the North Sea as the covering force for the battlecruisers of the I Scouting Group. She saw limited duty in the Baltic Sea against the Russian Navy, including serving as part of a support force during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August 1915. Helgoland was present at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916, though she was located in the center of the German line of battle and not as heavily engaged as the ships in the lead. She was ceded to Great Britain after the war and broken up for scrap in the early 1920s. Her coat of arms is preserved in the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden. (Full article...)

The 2023 World Snooker Championship took place from 15 April to 1 May 2023 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. The qualifying rounds produced a 115 break by Ng On-yee, the highest by a woman in the tournament's history. The defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan made a record 31st appearance at the tournament's main stage, surpassing the 30 appearances by Steve Davis, but he lost 10–13 in the quarter-finals to Belgian player Luca Brecel. Si Jiahui became the first Crucible debutant to reach the semi-finals since Andy Hicks at the 1995 event. Brecel came from 5–14 behind to defeat Si 17–15, the first player to win a match at the Crucible after trailing by nine frames. Brecel went on to defeat Mark Selby 18–15 in the final, becoming the sport's first world champion from mainland Europe. Two maximum breaks were made at the main stage, one by Kyren Wilson in the first round and the other by Selby, who became the first player to make a 147 in a world final. (Full article...)

Aristotle
Aristotle

Ethics is the philosophical study of moral phenomena, or what people ought to do. It includes three main branches: normative ethics, which seeks general principles for how people should act; applied ethics, which addresses specific real-life ethical issues like abortion; and metaethics, which explores underlying concepts and assumptions. Influential normative theories are consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. According to consequentialists, an act is right if it leads to the best consequences. Deontologists focus on acts themselves, saying that they must adhere to duties, like telling the truth. Virtue ethicists, such as Aristotle (pictured), see the manifestation of virtues, like courage, as the fundamental principle of morality. The history of ethics dates back to ancient civilizations and has evolved through religious influences in the medieval period to a more secular approach in the modern era, with the emergence of metaethics in the 20th century.

Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971) was a Russian composer and conductor, considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century and a pivotal figure in modernist music. He studied music under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov until the latter's death in 1908. Soon after, Stravinsky met the impresario Sergei Diaghilev, who commissioned the composer to write three ballets for the Ballets Russes's Paris seasons: The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and The Rite of Spring (1913), the last of which caused a near-riot at the premiere due to its avant-garde nature. His compositional style varied greatly, being influenced at different points by Russian folklore, neoclassicism, and serialism. His ideas influenced the composers Aaron Copland, Philip Glass, Béla Bartók, and Pierre Boulez, who were all challenged to innovate beyond traditional tonality, rhythm, and form. Stravinsky died in 1971, leaving six memoirs, an earlier autobiography, and a series of lectures. (Full article...)

Shapinsay

Balfour castle on Shapinsay
Balfour castle on Shapinsay

Shapinsay is one of the Orkney Islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland. At 29.5 square kilometres (11.4 sq mi), it is the eighth largest island in the Orkney archipelago. The land is low-lying and fertile, with a bedrock formed from Old Red Sandstone overlain by boulder clay. Shapinsay has two nature reserves and is notable for its bird life. Balfour Castle (pictured) is one of the island's prominent features and a reminder of the Balfour family's domination of Shapinsay during the 18th and 19th centuries. Other landmarks include a standing stone, an Iron Age broch, a souterrain and a salt-water shower. There is one village on the island, Balfour, from which car ferries sail to the Orkney Mainland. At the 2011 census, Shapinsay had a population of 307. The island's economy is based on agriculture, with a few small businesses that are tourism-related. A community-owned wind turbine was constructed in 2011. Shapinsay's long history has given rise to various folk tales. (Full article...)

Album covers of Blue Note Records

The album covers of Blue Note Records, an American jazz record label, have been recognized for their distinctive designs, which often feature bold colors, experimental typography, and candid photographs of the album's musicians, and are described as belonging to the Bauhaus and Swiss Style movements. In the early 1950s, artists like Gil Mellé, Paul Bacon, and John Hermansader designed Blue Note's earliest album covers. In 1956, Reid Miles was hired as Blue Note's art director, creating 400 to 500 covers with a unique style incorporating diverse typefaces and design principles such as asymmetry and tinting. After Miles left in 1967, artists like Mati Klarwein and Bob Venosa took over. Designers such as Norman Seeff and Bob Cato contributed in the 1970s, while Japanese artists created new covers for reissues in the late 1970s and 1980s. From the mid-1980s onward, artists like Paula Scher and Adam Pendleton have designed covers, with Miles' work in particular remaining highly influential. (Full article...)

Yugoslav destroyer Ljubljana

Ljubljana's sister ship Beograd (right)
Ljubljana's sister ship Beograd (right)

Ljubljana was the third and last Beograd-class destroyer built for the Royal Yugoslav Navy in the late 1930s. She was designed to operate as part of a division led by the flotilla leader Dubrovnik. Ljubljana entered service in November 1939, was armed with a main battery of four Škoda 120 mm (4.7 in) guns in single mounts, and had a top speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). In 1940, Ljubljana ran aground on a reef off the Yugoslav port of Šibenik, where, badly damaged, she was taken for repairs. Yugoslavia entered World War II when the German-led Axis powers invaded in April 1941, and Ljubljana—still under repair—was captured by the Royal Italian Navy. After repairs were completed, she saw active service in the Royal Italian Navy under the name Lubiana, mainly as a convoy escort on routes between Italy and North Africa. She was lost on 1 April 1943, when she ran aground and was abandoned off the Tunisian coast after a navigational error. (This article is part of a featured topic: Ships of the Royal Yugoslav Navy.)

A section of the trail in Shawangunk, New York.

The Walden–Wallkill Rail Trail, also known as the Jesse McHugh Rail Trail, is a 3.22-mile (5.18 km) rail trail between the village of Walden, New York and the hamlet of Wallkill. The two communities are located in Orange and Ulster counties, respectively, in upstate New York. The trail is part of the former Wallkill Valley Railroad's rail corridor. The railway was the first to operate in Ulster County. Passenger service ended in 1937; the opening of the New York State Thruway and decreased freight traffic caused the line to close in 1957. The land was purchased by the towns of Montgomery and Shawangunk in 1985 and converted to a public trail. The portion of the trail in Shawangunk was formally opened in 1993 and named after former town supervisor Jesse McHugh. After seven years of discussion, the route was paved between 2008 and 2009. The trail includes an unofficial, unimproved section to the north of Wallkill, and is bounded by NY 52 and NY 208. (Full article...)

Benjamin Jackson (sailor)

Jackson c. 1903
Jackson c. 1903

Benjamin Jackson (January 2, 1835 – August 20, 1915) was a Canadian sailor and farmer. Raised in a small community of Black Nova Scotians, Jackson served for one year in the Union Navy during the American Civil War. Deployed in the Union blockade of the Confederate coastline, he also participated in the Battle of Mobile Bay as a gun captain. He disarmed multiple naval mines and once picked up a live grenade and threw it from the deck of his ship, an act that earned him a medal. After the war, Jackson lived the rest of his life in Lockhartville, Nova Scotia, sailing commercially until 1875 and farming for many years longer. His funeral in 1915 was described as "the largest seen in Lockhartville for many years", though his grave remained unmarked until 2010. One of the eight history markers on the Mathieu Da Costa African Heritage Trail is dedicated to his story and Ben Jackson Road in Hantsport, Nova Scotia, is named in his honour. (Full article...)

George Floyd (American football)

George Floyd Jr. (born December 21, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back for two seasons with the New York Jets in the National Football League. Floyd played college football for the Eastern Kentucky University Colonels, where he won the 1979 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-AA football championship and set several school records, including for most career interceptions (22), and most career interception return yards (328). Floyd appeared in ten games during the 1982 New York Jets season, including three playoff games. He missed the entire 1983 season and appeared in eight games during the 1984 season before retiring after his third knee injury. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999. After the murder of a man with the same name in June 2020, his photograph was erroneously included in a montage at the other Floyd's funeral. As of 2023, he is a defensive backs coach for Conner High School in Kentucky. (Full article...)

Costello's on the corner of Third Avenue and East 44th Street, under the shadow of the Third Avenue El, c. 1939–1941

Costello's (also known as Tim's) was a bar and restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, from 1929 to 1992. The bar operated at several locations near the intersection of East 44th Street and Third Avenue. Costello's was known as a drinking spot for journalists with the New York Daily News, writers with The New Yorker, novelists, and cartoonists, including the author Ernest Hemingway, the cartoonist James Thurber, the journalist John McNulty, the poet Brendan Behan, the short-story writer John O'Hara, and the writers Maeve Brennan and A. J. Liebling. The bar is also known for having been home to a wall where Thurber drew a cartoon depiction of the "Battle of the Sexes" at some point between 1934 and 1935; the cartoon was destroyed, illustrated again, and then lost in the 1990s. A wall illustrated in 1976 by several cartoonists, including Bill Gallo, Stan Lee, Mort Walker, Al Jaffee, Sergio Aragonés, and Dik Browne, is still on display at the bar's final location.

Suicidal Tour

Santa Cruz entering the field before a game in Belém

The Suicidal Tour took place when Brazilian professional football club Santa Cruz Futebol Clube toured the North Region of Brazil from 2 January 1943 to 29 April 1943. Over almost four months, they played either 26 or 28 friendly matches in six cities. The tour gained its name due to the misfortunes endured by the club. Looking to recover from a financial crisis, Santa Cruz arranged five matches in Belém, Pará. Traveling up the Amazon River for another round of matches, they first started experiencing problems in Manaus, where two players left to play for other clubs and seven members of the team's delegation caught dysentery. Two players went on to catch typhoid fever and died. Unable to return home through the sea, and needing to cover growing costs, Santa Cruz had to return to Recife by land, playing matches along the way to earn money. The return had further problems, including a fake arrest warrant for a player, a trip alongside thieves, and two train derailments. (Full article...)

Wells Cathedral 1

West front of Wells Cathedral
West front of Wells Cathedral

Wells Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, dedicated to Andrew the Apostle. It is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, whose cathedra it holds as mother church of the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Built as a Roman Catholic cathedral from around 1175 to replace an earlier church on the site since 705, it became an Anglican cathedral when Henry VIII split from Rome. Its Gothic architecture is mostly inspired from Early English style of the late 12th to early 13th centuries. The stonework of its pointed arcades and fluted piers bears pronounced mouldings and carved capitals in a foliate, "stiff-leaf" style. The east end retains much ancient stained glass. Unlike many cathedrals of monastic foundation, Wells has many surviving secular buildings linked to its chapter of secular canons, including the Bishop's Palace and the 15th-century residential Vicars' Close. It is a Grade I listed building. (Full article...)

I add cn tags when doing copyedits of articles to show where they are needed, as some editors get upset when information (even if uncited) is removed. I post requests like this to showcase articles that could be selected for specific dates and give editors enough time to fix them up if they are interested. I did a copyedit of the article to remove promotional language and replaced some cn tags with citations. If others think this article isn't ready, I'm fine with that.

William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros

de Ros's coat of arms
de Ros's coat of arms

William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros (c. 1370 – 1 November 1414) was an English nobleman, politician and soldier. He inherited his father's barony and estates (with extensive lands centred on Lincolnshire) in 1394 and married Margaret, daughter of Baron Fitzalan, shortly afterwards. Her family, like that of de Ros, was well-connected, and they were implacably opposed to King Richard II. In 1399 Richard confiscated the estates of his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Lancaster, and exiled him. When Henry invaded England several months later, de Ros took his side almost immediately. After Henry declared himself King Henry IV, de Ros voted in the House of Lords for the former king's imprisonment. He became an important aide and counsellor to King Henry, and regularly spoke for him in parliament. He also supported Henry in his military campaigns, participating in the invasion of Scotland in 1400 and assisting in the suppression of Richard le Scrope's rebellion five years later.

Daniel Boone

Daniel Boone

Daniel Boone (November 2, 1734 – September 26, 1820) was an American pioneer and frontiersman. In 1775, Boone blazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky, despite resistance from Native Americans; by the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people entered Kentucky by following the route marked by Boone. He was adopted into the Shawnee tribe in 1778 but resigned after they killed his son. In April 1781 Boone was elected to the Virginia General Assembly. An account of his adventures was published in 1784, making him famous in America and Europe. After the Revolutionary War, he worked as a surveyor and merchant but went into debt as a Kentucky land speculator. He resettled in Missouri in 1799, where he spent most of his remaining life. After his death, he was the subject of works of fiction; his adventures helped create the archetypal frontier hero of American folklore. (Full article...)

It became an interchange station with the CCL when the two-station branch extension from Promenade station was completed in January 2012. The TEL station platforms were completed in November 2022, becoming a triple-line interchange on the MRT network. The station features art as part of the MRT network's Art-in-Transit programme. The sculpture Flowers in Blossom II is over the CCL mezzanine. The CCL platforms feature photographs by Nah Yong En and the TEL station features murals by Tang Ling Nah. (Full article...)

  • I might recommend using the Reflecting pool image. Btw, truthfully I'm not thrilled at all with this article, despite it being one of my best recent works. It is a triple interchange but isn't a major station and didn't saw much use presently, but I decided to work on this ever since TEL 3 opening (it was previously a GA). I'm usually more proud of articles I work on that have more prominent content.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:37, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
  • I saw that the date request moved to Nov 3, probably because of time zones. WP:TFAP does list another article nomination for that date, so this might have to be bumped back to Nov. 4. While maybe not the most prominent, TFA does have a shortage of transit articles, which makes stations such as these more likely to get scheduled, and I'd rather that this ran on a date of significance to the article. I don't mind switching the image to the reflecting pool. Z1720 (talk) 19:31, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Thomas Percy (Gunpowder Plot)

Thomas Percy
Thomas Percy

Thomas Percy was a member of the failed Gunpowder Plot. Following King James's accession to the English throne in 1603, Percy became disenchanted with the new king, who he supposed had reneged on his promises of toleration for English Catholics. He joined Robert Catesby's conspiracy to kill the king and his ministers by blowing up the House of Lords with gunpowder. Percy helped fund the group and secured the leases to properties in London, including the undercroft beneath the House of Lords where the gunpowder was placed. When the plot was exposed on 5 November 1605, Percy fled to the Midlands, catching up with other conspirators travelling to Dunchurch. At the border of Staffordshire they were besieged by the Sheriff of Worcester and his men. Percy was reportedly killed by the same musketball as Catesby and was buried nearby. His body was later exhumed, and his head exhibited outside Parliament. (This article is part of a featured topic: Gunpowder Plot.)

Mario Party DS

Mario Party DS is a 2007 party video game developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It is the second handheld game in the Mario Party series, as well as the last game in the series to be developed by Hudson Soft, as all subsequent titles have been developed by NDcube. Like most installments in the Mario Party series, Mario Party DS features characters of the Mario franchise competing in a board game with a variety of minigames, many of which utilize the console's unique features, including its built-in microphone, dual screen and touch screen mechanics, and motion sensitivity. Up to four human players can compete at a time, though characters can also be computer-controlled. Although Mario Party DS received mixed reviews, with general praise for its minigame variety and criticism for its absence of an online multiplayer mode, the game has sold more than nine million units worldwide, making it the 11th best-selling game for the Nintendo DS. (Full article...)

  • Most recent similar article(s): From February to June 2024, there were multiple featured articles for video games displayed on the main page, including OneShot on June 30. However, none of them appear to be a party video game or a game in the Mario franchise like Mario Party DS. Additionally, to my knowledge, this is the first Mario Party game to have a featured article on Knowledge (XXG), meaning that it would also be the first to appear on the main page.

Comment: The Green Star Collector, the rationale for the run date seems rather unusual to me, and considering the fact goes unmentioned in the article I don't think it would be obvious to any readers either. What do you think about moving it back to November 8, the anniversary of the game's release in Japan? TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Justus

Gravestone of Justus
Gravestone of Justus

Justus, sometimes referred to as Iustus, was the fourth Archbishop of Canterbury. Pope Gregory the Great sent Justus to England on a mission to Christianize the Anglo-Saxons, probably arriving with the second group of missionaries despatched in 601. Justus became the first Bishop of Rochester in 604 and signed a letter to the Irish bishops urging them to adopt the Roman method of calculating the date of Easter. He also attended a church council in Paris in 614. Following King Æthelberht of Kent's death in 616, Justus was forced to flee to Gaul but was reinstated in his diocese the following year. In 624, Justus became Archbishop of Canterbury, overseeing the despatch of missionaries to Northumbria. He died on 10 November, probably sometime between 627 and 631. After his death, he was revered as a saint and had a shrine in St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, where his remains were translated to in the 1090s (gravestone pictured).

Donkey Kong Country

Donkey Kong Country is a 1994 platform game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It follows the gorilla Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong as they set out to recover their stolen banana hoard from the crocodile King K. Rool and his army, the Kremlings. Nintendo commissioned Rare to revive the dormant Donkey Kong franchise as it sought a game to compete with Sega's Aladdin (1993). Donkey Kong Country was one of the first home console games to feature pre-rendered graphics, achieved through a compression technique that converted 3D models into sprites with little loss of detail. It was released on 18 November 1994 to acclaim. Critics hailed its visuals as groundbreaking and praised its gameplay and music; it is frequently listed as one of the greatest games of all time. Donkey Kong Country re-established Donkey Kong as a popular Nintendo franchise and was followed by sequels and ports for subsequent Nintendo consoles. (Full article...)

Windswept Adan

Ichiko Aoba
Ichiko Aoba

Windswept Adan is the seventh studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Ichiko Aoba, released on 2 December 2020 by her label, Hermine. The concept album follows the story of a young girl who is sent away by her family to the fictional island of Adan. Aoba and composer Taro Umebayashi wrote, composed, arranged, and produced the music for the album, which was preceded by one single, "Porcelain". Windswept Adan is a chamber folk and psychedelic folk album with elements of jazz, classical, and ambient music. Marking a departure from Aoba's earlier minimalist instrumentation, it includes a celesta, wind chimes, string arrangements, and vocal performances. The album received widespread critical acclaim for its arrangements, instrumentation, and worldbuilding. Upon its release, the album debuted at number 82 on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart and number 88 on the Oricon Albums Chart. Aoba supported the album with her first international tour between August and October 2022. (Full article...)

Interstellar, a 2014 epic and science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan (pictured), won 23 awards from 87 nominations, with particular recognition for Nolan's direction as well as its musical score, cinematography, production design, and visual effects. It received five nominations at the 87th Academy Awards, winning Best Visual Effects. At the 68th British Academy Film Awards, it was nominated for Best Original Music, Best Cinematography and Best Production Design, and won Best Special Visual Effects. The film received eleven nominations at the 41st Saturn Awards, winning six, and seven nominations at the 20th Critics' Choice Awards, winning Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie. Interstellar was named one of the Top 11 Films of 2014 by the American Film Institute. (Full list...)

I'd like to suggest September 27, 2024 to coincide with its 10-year anniversary re-release. Sgubaldo (talk) 03:11, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

The re-release of Interstellar is now scheduled for December 6, 2024, according to Variety. I don't know if you want to move the date you want this posted to the new re-release date. Birdienest81talk 08:41, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Just a thought – the awards list for The Force Awakens was suggested for December 13, and since we generally aim for variety on the main page, it might not be ideal to have two sci-fi movie awards lists so close to each other. Maybe one of them could wait? Personally, I think it makes more sense to have Interstellar this year and TFA next year so each is listed at its ten-year anniversary. Alternatively, this list could run in early November to align with its original release date. Pinging Sgubaldo and Chompy Ace for input. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:13, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
If Chompy is alright with it, I'd like the Interstellar one to run in December this year because it's specifically the 10th anniversary, which is a significant milestone. If Chompy still wants to run TFA, then I suppose I can move Interstellar to something like November 8. Sgubaldo (talk) 19:18, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Sgubaldo, I will keep my The Force Awakens nom. As a result, the Interstellar one would be suggested for November 8, 2024, closest to the film's tenth anniversary of its United States release (as outlined in the references). Chompy Ace 01:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Outline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe logo
The Marvel Cinematic Universe logo

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe created by Marvel Studios. Beginning in 2008 with the release of the film Iron Man, the franchise has since expanded to include various feature films and television series produced by Marvel Studios, television series from Marvel Television, and other media based on Marvel Comics characters. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige oversees the main MCU productions. The MCU, similar to the original Marvel Universe, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. It has been commercially successful, becoming one of the highest-grossing media franchises and the highest-grossing film franchise. This includes Avengers: Endgame, which concluded its theatrical run in 2019 as the highest-grossing film of all time. The franchise's success has influenced other studios to attempt similar shared universes. (Full list...)

I would like to suggest this for May 2, 2025, as it is the 17 year anniversary of the release of the first MCU film, Iron Man, to a tee. I know 2025 is a ways away, though I felt it was best to get this submitted sooner rather than later. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

The 77th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored films released in 2004 and took place on February 27, 2005, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. During the ceremony, AMPAS presented Academy Awards in 24 categories. The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC, was produced by Gilbert Cates and directed by Louis J. Horvitz. Actor Chris Rock hosted the show for the first time. Million Dollar Baby won four awards including Best Picture and Best Director for Clint Eastwood (pictured). Other winners included The Aviator with five awards and The Incredibles and Ray with two. The telecast garnered over 42 viewers in the United States. (Full list...)

I would like this list to be posted on March 3 since the 97th Academy Awards are scheduled for March 2 (or March 3 00:00 UTC), and it will have been 20 years since this particular ceremony occurred. Birdienest81talk 06:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

List of presidents of the United States

Since the presidency of the United States was established in 1789, 45 men have served in 46 presidencies. The president is the head of state and government, elected indirectly for a four-year term via the Electoral College. The officeholder leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. The first president, George Washington, won a unanimous vote of the Electoral College, and was the only one never affiliated with a political party. William Henry Harrison's presidency was the shortest at 31 days. Franklin D. Roosevelt served the longest, over twelve years, and is the only president to serve more than two terms. Since the Twenty-second Amendment in 1951, no person may be elected president more than twice, and no one who has served more than two years of another's term may be elected more than once. Four presidents died of natural causes in office (William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Warren G. Harding, and Franklin D. Roosevelt), four were assassinated (Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy), and one resigned (Richard Nixon). The incumbent president is _____, who assumed office on January 20, 20__ (Full list...)

Feel free to copy-edit the blurb or make any other appropriate changes. As for the image, I decided to go with this group pic rather that simply the presidential flag or the White House. The portraits of Joe Biden/Donald Trump might be a bit controversial. I, alongside many other editors, helped promote this list to FL status a few years ago, and what would be a better date to run it than January 20, 2025 (Monday)! The only hurdle would be that we'll require assistance from an admin to update it real-time to change it from Biden to whoever would be. Let me know what your thoughts are. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 19:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

What if it was worded as "The most recently elected president is ___, who takes office on January 20, 2025."? I don't think that would have to be updated during the day. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
"45 men have served in 46 presidencies" will also be needed to update; as the things stand, Biden is not seeking another term, so this figure, for sure, would have to be changed at 12 noon Washington DC time, or whenever the next president takes the oath. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Good point. If we end up having an admin update this, I don't think that would be too challenging as long as the exact change is specified in advance. RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:00, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

United States congressional delegations from Arizona

Map of Arizona's nine congressional districts for the United States House of Representatives since 2022

Since Arizona became a U.S. state in 1912, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 63rd United States Congress in 1913. Before becoming a state, the Arizona Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1864 to 1912. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years, and varying numbers of members of the House, depending on state population, to two-year terms. Arizona has sent nine members to the House in each delegation since the 2010 United States Census. A total of 57 people have served Arizona in the House and 14 have served Arizona in the Senate. The first woman to serve Arizona in the House was Isabella Greenway. Seven women have served Arizona in the House, including Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally, who also served Arizona in the Senate, the only women to do so. (Full list...)

View of Donetsk, capital and most populous city in the oblast

In Ukraine's eastern Donetsk Oblast, there are 52 populated places officially granted city status by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament. Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible to become cities although the status is also typically given by parliament to settlements of historical or regional importance. According to the country's last official census in 2001, the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Donetsk, with a population of 1,016,194 people, while the least populous city was Sviatohirsk, with 5,136 people. Following fighting during the Donbas war, 21 of the oblast's cities were occupied by pro-Russian separatists. After the enactment of decommunization laws across the country, ten cities in both Ukrainian-controlled and separatist-occupied territory were given new names in 2016 which were unrecognized by de facto pro-Russian officials in the occupied cities. During the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have occupied an additional eleven cities, of which two (Lyman and Sviatohirsk) were recovered by Ukraine. (Full list...)

List of Johnson solids

The Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygons. Here, polyhedron means a three-dimensions object containing flat faces that are bounded by the edges, and a polyhedron is said to be convex if the faces are not in the same plane and the edges are not in the same line. There are 92 Johnson solids, and some of the authors exclude uniform polyhedrons from the definition: Archimedean solids, Platonic solids, prisms, and antiprisms. The set of solids was published by American mathematician Norman Johnson in 1966. The list was completed and no other examples existed was proved by Russian-Israeli mathematician Victor Zalgaller in 1969. (Full list...)

I would like to suggest two dates based on the international day: either the date of December 5, 2024 as part of the International Dodecahedron Day or the date of March 14, 2025, which coincide the International Day of Mathematics. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 04:57, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

The National Assembly is the unicameral legislature of Zambia, a landlocked country in southern Africa, east of Angola. The seat of the assembly is at the capital of the country, Lusaka, and it is presided over by a Speaker and two deputy Speakers. The National Assembly has existed since 1964, before which it was known as the Legislative Council. Since 2016, the assembly has had 167 members. Of those, 156 are elected by the first-past-the-post system in single-member constituencies, a further eight are appointed by the President, and three others are ex officio members. The constitution mandates that the constituencies are delimited after every census by the Electoral Commission of Zambia. (Full list...)

Doctor Who Christmas and New Year's Specials

The TARDIS on the set of "The Church on Ruby Road"

Since 2005, Doctor Who has aired 19 special episodes on Christmas or New Year's Day. During its original run, from 1963–1989, episodes were occasionally broadcast over holiday periods, but they rarely made mention of the holidays. Once the programme was revived in 2005, special Christmas episodes were produced yearly until 2017. From 2018–2022, the show transitioned to New Year's Day specials instead. The series then returned to Christmas specials once more in 2023. The holiday episodes have proven to be a success with viewers, by bringing in larger viewing figures than regular episodes of the programme. Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television series that airs on BBC One and releases on Disney+. It revolves around an alien called the Doctor who travels with a companion in a time and space machine called the TARDIS. A twentieth special, "Joy to the World", is set to release on December 25, 2024. (Full list...)

I'd like to suggest this for December 23, 2024, for obvious reasons. Thanks! TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:39, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

List of Liechtenstein general elections

General elections in Liechtenstein have been held since the ratification of the 1862 constitution in which the Landtag of Liechtenstein was established. Political parties did not exist in Liechtenstein until they were formed in 1918. Before the ratification of the 1921 constitution, the head of government was not elected, but rather appointed by the prince of Liechtenstein, thus elections were only held to elect members of the Landtag. Under the constitution general elections are held for the members of the Landtag of Liechtenstein, who then elect the prime minister. As of 2021, there have been 48 general elections held in Liechtenstein. (Full list...)

Matty Beniers was the first ever draft selection for the Kraken, taken second overall in 2021.

The Seattle Kraken have selected 36 players through four NHL entry drafts as of 2024. The Kraken compete in the National Hockey League as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference and began play during the league's 2021–22 season. The NHL entry draft is held each off-season, allowing teams to select players who have turned 18 years old by September 15 in the year the draft is held. The Kraken's first-ever draft pick was Matty Beniers, taken second overall in the 2021 NHL entry draft. After the 2022–23 season, Beniers won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's best rookie after accumulating 24 goals and 33 assists in 80 games. The Kraken's second overall pick in 2021 was the highest they have ever drafted. Only four of the Kraken's draft picks have gone on to play with the Kraken: Beniers, Ryker Evans, Ryan Winterton, and Shane Wright. (Full list...)

Garry Kasparov (left) and Viswanathan Anand (right) in the observation deck of 2 World Trade Center during the 1995 Classical World Chess Championship

The World Chess Championship has taken several distinct forms since Wilhelm Steinitz defeated Johannes Zukertort in an 1886 match to become the first undisputed World Chess Champion. Following a period of private organization and sponsorship, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) began organizing Championship events under its auspices following the end of World War II, instituting a regular cycle of tournaments held to determine the challenger for each Championship match. In the 1990s, FIDE faced competition with the Classical Chess Championship inaugurated by former FIDE Champion Garry Kasparov, and began experimenting with the format by organizing several Championships as tournaments instead of as matches. The title was ultimately reunited under FIDE via the World Chess Championship 2006, where the Classical Champion Vladimir Kramnik defeated the FIDE Champion Veselin Topalov in match play. (Full list...)

I would like to suggest an appearance date of 23 November 2024, corresponding to the scheduled start of the World Chess Championship 2024. Remsense ‥  14:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

National symbols of Nigeria

National symbols of Nigeria are symbols used to represent the country, its culture, and its people. These include the national flag, the coat of arms, the national anthem, and various emblems and celebrations that reflect Nigeria's heritage and identity. The national anthem, initially "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" was replaced with "Arise, O Compatriots" in 1978, although the former has recently been reinstated. Independence Day, Armed Forces Remembrance Day, and Democracy Day are among Nigeria's most important national days, each marking notable events in the country's history. The use of these symbols is governed by law and often carries cultural and historical meanings. (Full list...)

Please, may I suggest that the appearance of this entry be dated 1 October 2024 so that it coincide with the country's Independence Day. Thank you :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

ITN candidates

Click here to nominate an item for In the news. In the news toolbox

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...

  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...

  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.

Nominator's comments: I believe recent events have shown that this is very much merits ongoing status. The parent Israel–Hezbollah conflict article requires a lot of work, but the more specific Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) looks fine. Also I know that the Israel-Hamas war article is already in ongoing but although inter-linked, this really isn't the same conflict. Abcmaxx (talk) 10:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment I’m split on this one. Half of me thinks it merits it’s own ongoing but the other half thinks it’s covered by ongoing (spillover). 2407:E400:D004:BA01:38AE:EBE1:FE49:CF65 (talk) 11:13, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Strong support It is now a separate conflict. Prodrummer619 (talk) 11:54, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment A fourth ongoing at this point (likely with also a timeline link) is going to spill over into three lines, and that's not really going to be good. Either we recognize this is considered a spillover of the Israel-Hamas conflict (only having gained a bump in the news due to the pager attacks), or something like the Sudan civil war should go (which arguably, hasn't had a lot of major events in the last few weeks). Also, the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) is not in great shape as it mostly just a timeline article with little attempt to give a larger narrative to the conflict, which is typical of these long-term current event articles and don't represent the best way to write encyclopedically about these events. --Masem (t) 12:18, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Alternatively, we could include the Israel-Hezbollah conflict as part of the parenthetical after the Israel-Hamas war (eg "Israel–Hamas war (Hezbollah conflict, timeline)" which might be able to keep it on two lines, still include it but also still recognize it as closely associated with the Hamas conflict. --Masem (t) 12:22, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
      That sounds like a good idea. While we’re at it maybe we should add the JNIM insurgency 2407:E400:D004:BA01:38AE:EBE1:FE49:CF65 (talk) 12:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
      No, the issue is still space. We can add a couple more words before it slips into 3 lines Masem (t) 13:45, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Wait - To see if the current period of heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah following the pager attack continues after the blurb rolls off. Obviously if a full conflict starts then we put this in ongoing. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 13:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Wait - Per above, no ground invasion of southern Lebanon yet. If the situation escalates that far then it's safe to say this will be an ongoing conflict. Kcmastrpc (talk) 13:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Moderate Support it’s getting more heated now and i support giving its own ongoing but it could easily get taken off IMO Ion.want.uu (talk) 16:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Oppose the ICJ ruling was one thing, and a Security Council resolution would be another, but GA resolutions are non-binding - they usually hold little weight and rarely hold long-term significance. In addition, this doesn’t really change anything; the position of the UN on the OPT and Israeli occupation has been stated/reaffirmed repeatedly in the past, this is just doing so again.

Novel and creative escalation in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict (which is not in ongoing, unlike the Israel-Hamas conflict). Sandstein 17:21, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Comment Actually was just creating a nom for this, added my proposed blurb as an alt.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 17:27, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    I left out the estimated casualty numbers because these are prone to change in the days to come. Sandstein 17:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • I was under the impression that this falls under ongoing Israel-Hamas war? Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) started one day after and in direct response to the conflict in Gaza and Hezbollah has made calm with Israel conditional on a ceasefire in Gaza.VR (Please ping on reply) 17:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    • If for some reason the two are separate, then Israel–Hezbollah conflict should be added to ongoing too, which would make this blurb redundant.VR (Please ping on reply) 17:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    In a broader sense both Israel–Hamas war and Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) are theatres of the regional conflict between Iran, Israel and their respective allies, but currently we have only Israel–Hamas war in ongoing. Sandstein 17:33, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Support The novelty and notability on this escalation are salient. Even if there were an ongoing (and there is not) I'd likely still lean towards supporting a blurb given the singularity of this event. Kcmastrpc (talk) 17:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Strong Support An interesting topic, as well as the blurb. Also this event can be considered as a biggest security breach, more than a month after the Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. --cyrfaw (talk) 17:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment – The sentence reads like Hezbollah triggered the explosions. Should we add "due to a security breach"? FunLater (talk) 17:53, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    • The expulsions are really a security breach similar to the one that occurred in Iran last month. The blurb should be improved further since the organization has nothing to do with her --cyrfaw (talk) 17:59, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose, covered by ongoing the Israel-Hezbollah conflict is considered part of the Israel-Hamas conflict per our articles. (we just had a nom that considered making it a separate ongoing but that didn't gain traction). It is a separate theater but it's very much tied to what's happening in the Gaza strip. Masem (t) 17:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    It's more tied to what's happening in Netanyahu's mind. (Strike as Netanyahu's mind is no longer "ongoing"...) Martinevans123 (talk) 20:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Strong support – Major suspected attack in Lebanon with nearly 3,000 injuries, a major escalation in the reignited Hezbollah–Israel conflict. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ) 18:02, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Support – Though it can be argued that it's covered by ongoing, I think it is a very serious and rare escalation notable enough of a blurb. Prodrummer619 (talk) 18:11, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Support. While covered by the ongoing item, this is sufficiently unique and the number of casualties (double digits deaths apparently now and thousands of injuries) merits posting. -- Patar knight - /contributions 20:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Support Almost incredible. Netanyahu coincidentally Tweeted about withdrawal of Israeli civilians from the North yesterday? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Support not only is it a big escalation, but the way Israel did so is crazy. Scuba 20:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

QalasQalas (talk) 21:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Oppose on quality issues for now.VR (Please ping on reply) 22:38, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Wait and oppose Hezbollah mention - The page clearly still needs cleanup and the situation is developing. Many of those caught in the attacks do not seem to have a clear connection to Hezbollah, so while this may have been intended to target members of that organisation it could also have been a more general terrorist attack against pager users in the country (with Hezbollah happening to be a major user of pagers in the country) and it is not only misleading but potentially dangerous to jump the gun in making assumptions here. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 22:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • 'Support. Large number of casualties. The news is making international headlines. – Anne drew

Wait, then Support Page needs a bit of clean-up and development. Other than that, this is unique and is significant enough to exclude it from the "covered by ongoing" argument in my opinion.

NOTE there is a big orange tag on the article, which is this allowed on the page? It should be pulled until sorted, like fujimori.2A00:F3C:A282:0:5097:3DB:7890:50B7 (talk) 06:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
This is a contentious topic and so has all the usual aggravation and issues that they generate. The article still has a big orange {{POV}} tag, just like it did when I commented above. And the technical scope of of the topic has expanded since as it's not just pagers.
As this is obviously part of the general Arab-Israeli conflict, we should perhaps leave all such to Ongoing.
Andrew🐉(talk) 06:50, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Is it an Arab-Israel conflict? The major Arab nations are not involved. And perhaps the biggest issue is non-Arabic Iran. As Israeli troops move further into Lebanon, and Gazify it, we'll have to make this ongoing - presumably combined with Gaza. Is there a name for a group that consists of Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi, and Iran, etc.? Nfitz (talk) 02:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
These and other similar groups all seem to be part of Militant Islamism in the Middle East. They seem to be generally committed to Pan-Islamism rather than the nation states which are partly a relic of earlier colonial empires. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Article only just created as 2024 European floods was too broad and not detailed enough. Significant for a large part of the continent, one of the biggest floods in the countries affected in history. Storm Boris (2024) and Genoa low articles need improvements too. Abcmaxx (talk) 15:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Support until the quality improves. Seems notable for posting though.
Noah, BSBA 16:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment feels like we are creating excessive articles around these topics. Don't see why this can't be part of storm Boris in this case. Masem (t) 17:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
    @Masem: Storm Boris is a redirect to a wind storm season article subsection. It doesnt have its own article. Noah, BSBA 18:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
    That subsection is covering the current floods, which seems to be fine. But if there is expansions to be made, that should be the standalone page and not this new flooding page. — Masem (t) 18:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
    Hard disagree. The precedent here is 1997 Central European flood, to which this being frequently compared to. Firstly Storm Boris is just one of the factors that has caused the flooding. Secondly, given the impact and scale a standalone article is very much appropriate here, even though it is yet to be expanded, however I'm sure it will be expanded easily to such a point that WP:FORKs and WP:SIZESPLITs will be needed anyway. Abcmaxx (talk) 20:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
    My concern is mostly thus larger trend anound seeming infinite atomization of current event event articles, where editors are given even small facets of larger stories their own article. We want to make the featured article here is sufficiently conpherensive of the cause and effects around the flooding without being too narrow. — Masem (t) 14:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    Some of the information has been duplicated from 2024 European floods, but as long as that article can be organised by month instead of by country, that can be easily trimmed down to a summary with a {{main}} link. 2024–25 European windstorm season#Storm Boris is more of a mess, but still I don't think the problem here is anything more than poor linking between the three articles. The September floods due to Boris/Anett are without doubt notable -- this has turned out to be an event at least comparable to a 1997 flood. The storm, which might or might not be notable independently of the floods, currently only has a section in the windstorm list. Did I miss a fork somewhere? Daß Wölf 04:31, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Strong support, likely comparable to the 1997 or 2014 floods once all the information is tallied up, and the article is of sufficient quality. Suggest changing the blurb to "Storm Boris flooding leaves..." to make it immediately recognisable, as the name seems to have taken on in the media. Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect the article to be exhaustive until well after the event. Unlike e.g. Typhoon Yagi, this is affecting at least half a dozen countries with different languages where weather news commonly stops at the country border. When compared to North America and the UK, severe weather events in continental Europe fairly rarely get comprehensive articles on Knowledge (XXG).
It's also somewhat hard to tell how long the effects will last. The bulk of precipitation fell on already saturated high ground near the sources of Europe's large rivers, so there might be a second wave of flooding downstream, or another if a warm spell suddenly thaws out the newly accumulated snow in the mountains. For example, the Danube might yet flood northern Serbia and easternmost Croatia . Daß Wölf 08:28, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose - article is undersourced as of now mike_gigs contribs 13:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Support article quality needs to improve Kcmastrpc (talk) 13:57, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
    Most of the {{cn}} tags have been filled in by now. There is an uncited part of a paragraph in Romania and obviously parts of the article are a day or two out of date, e.g. presumably things are happening in Hungary by now, but unfortunately I don't know Hungarian. Wikipedias in other languages have more content and more sources, if someone is interested in going over them with Google Translate or similar and including up-to-date information. I don't have time to fix it further, but I think what we have now shows the scale of the event well enough. Daß Wölf 04:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
    Agreed, article is out of stub status, looks good enough for posting. Kcmastrpc (talk) 16:09, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Article needs updating
Nominator's comments: Article needs splitting into last few days' events, needs major update as well. Significant for a large part of the continent, one of the biggest floods in the countries affected in history. May need a Storm Boris (2024) article and have that as a target. Abcmaxx (talk) 09:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Wait - As you said, the article isn't ready. I should say wait for the present to get the article improved, and maybe after some more casualties are noted. Maybe after the floods have finished. High Asmiral JMT (talk) 03:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment Going by the current article, which covers floods since May, this feels like an inappropriate junction of multiple different weather events, getting in towards synthesis. Would almost definitely need a focus on the page on the storm that actually caused these most recent floods. --Masem (t) 12:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

News source(s):
Credits:
  • Oppose for now. Doesn't look like Trump was in any immediate danger and no shots were fired at him. I also note that there is some surprising ambivalence about the article on its talk page with some even arguing it should be merged into another page. FWIW I think this clearly passes GNG and AFAIK we have articles on all other confirmed attempts on the lives of current and former presidents. But until that gets sorted out, I'd be reluctant to promote this on the main page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
Oppose as well. Unlike the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, nobody was killed or injured. This doesn't have enough due weight to merit a blurb in ITN. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 23:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Support I don't know what world people are living in where an assassination attempt against a US presidential candidate isn't notable. Scuba 23:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose We have opted not to post known-but-foiled assassination/attacks (before anyone got injured) against major political figures, and this seems to fall into that category. --Masem (t) 23:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Strong Support An attempted assassination on a former president and current presidential nominee is clearly newsworthy, notable and fit for ITN. Dr Fell (talk) 23:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose, as no one was killed or even injured. 2604:3D08:9476:BE00:E3:3CA:7026:7EC8 (talk) 00:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Oppose per 2604 etc. 64.114 etc 00:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose Multiple past assassination attempts on presidents have been discussed here before (there were multiple on Biden, for example). But if the plots were foiled and no injuries or even structural damage occurred, then they weren't considered to have enough due weight to include in ITN. Unless there's some other exceptional reason to include this that hasn't been presented yet, then I see no reason for this to run. Silverseren 00:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose "shooting" seems very tabloidish, given I've seen no reports that the alleged trespasser ever fired a weapon. And I don't think person arrested with a weapon in the vicinity of a leader (let alone a former leader) is particularly notable, other than perhaps locally. Someone remind me though - when they arrested that nutter in Ottawa who was at Rideau Hall with all those guns, looking to shoot Trudeau - did we post it? That would be a good comparison. Nfitz (talk) 00:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
At least based on searching the archives above for keyword "Trudeau", we've only ever run two ITN blurbs for him, for his election and then re-election. So, no, it doesn't appear to have been posted, not unless whatever was run didn't mention Trudeau at all. Silverseren 00:41, 16 September 2024 (UTC)\
It looks like it didn't even get a Knowledge (XXG) article - surprising given the international news coverage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; though it is mentioned at Timeline of incidents involving QAnon#Intrusion into Justin Trudeau's residence. It is mentioned at the final attempt of 2020 List of heads of state and government who survived assassination attempts - which seems to show 2 or 3 a year, recently. Which raises the question of how many of those were posted. Nfitz (talk) 01:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above. C F A 💬 00:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Noah, BSBA 00:48, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Oppose. No shots were fired, and nobody was injured or killed. -insert valid name here- (talk) 01:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose appears to be closer to a foiled "assassination plot", as the suspect did not fire any shots, and was (thankfully) apprehended before getting close enough to the former president. Natg 19 (talk) 01:26, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose - unlike the previous attempt, no one was injured. --Rockstone 01:30, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
