for 3 days is 3 times longer then FA or FP. This is fairly misleading. FAs are linked to from the main page for 4 days. When they are no longer TFA, they are still linked. Further while SA/OTD items are generally only present for a day, many of them particularly important ones reoccur year after year. Further despite some of the claims above, I haven't see any evidence complaints about ITN are increasing. We have been getting complaints of all sorts (why isn't this item on ITN, why is this item on ITN et al) about ITN since the 6 years I've been here. We've also been getting complaints about language number categories, the general look of the main page, too many games on FA, FA being crap/unimportant, lack of censorship, the cursor not appearing in the search box, and what have you. This doesn't mean all these complains are completely without merit, but it also means we don't have to do something just because there are complaints. So we get back to the question, what do we want to achieve? If we are already close to your desired rate, then it remains unclear. It seems to me a bad idea to try to force us to have an update every 12 hours. The nature of world is that sometimes days go past without anything significant happening, sometimes a series of significant things happen within hours. ITN as it's not a news ticker is by nature is always going to reflect this to some extent. If we are already achieving close to the desired rate, this means we should either hold off on items even when they are ready just so that we have one every 12 hours when in fact they should be posted sooner then that or perhaps even we should exclude important events simply because they happen too close together while adding othr elss important events simply because there's less happening. Either way this seems like a bad idea to me. Now I recognise we could try to add items faster and there are some problems in getting updates, in getting consensus to add an item and in getting someone to add the item but that's a different thing from saying that we need to have one every 12 hours.
1276:
tweaking the guidelines or the rules is generally a waste of time, and the ones proposed above are miles from the major changes required. There have been proposals to 'reform' ITN for years, they have all been a waste of time as nobody has ever tackled the elephant in the room of its basic purpose, or been prepared to face up to its major problems even if they think that is a settled issue. Everybody is seemingly happy that it just limps on like this without majorly fucking up frequently, while in comparison, things like TFA and DYK are the very epitomy of valuable, structured, understandable processes that absolutely deserve their place on the Main Page. Those processes have undergone many developments over the years, as its easy to do that when you know what the basic purpose of it is, while the only change I've ever seen actually get implented on ITN by contrast, is to get a TOC sorted. The people insisting it's not a news ticker are simply wrong, or are at least completely misguided in their belief that the wider community don't see it as one. It's a news ticker which is simply very slow, as it cannot get its act together and figure out how to be an efficient and usefull news ticker, and cannot figure out how to reform itself to make it not appear as if its a news ticker. And anyone who doesn't think ITN encourages daily creation of articles that are the very epitomy of NOT#NEWS violations, hasn't been watching it long enough. ITN is one of the biggest drivers of the massive and relentless Google age driven RECENTISM
1980:
interest is the goal, I'd be pretty confident in saying that not a single one of those items would have appeared in the top 1,000 list of articles being rapidly updated at any given time, not even at their peak edit rates. And when you get to the tail, they are nearly a week out of date. That's a hell of a lot of Main Page space to waste to direct readers to those 5 articles without the hassle of using the search box. If it's really about spikes of interest and finding links - then let's just automate it to produce a simple list of pages. Not only could you fit tons more links that way, at a stroke, that would eliminate several of the built in problems ITN has - it will always be showcasing updated content, it will always be directing readers to the in demand pages, and it will never be held up by tedious arguments about bias, or relative importance, or a wait for an admin to post it, or any of the other things that routinely hold up the ITN/C process. The only thing it doesn't do is showcase 'quality'. But the irony is, most of the time spent in discussion at ITN is over articles that are too poor to post anyway, or don't even exist, and people generally ignore the quite regular times when someone points out that even though the article has been given a properly referenced update, it has a giant BLP tag on it, or some other such glaring issue. By the time it's fixed, it's old news, and who was ever going to see it because it was the subject of a spike of interest, has already done so.
2301:
crap in the daily paper, even the NYT or London Times that would be A7'ed or laughed off the 'pedia at AFD; the fact that 109 papers pick up on a story doesn't really prove notability enough to have an article, much less the hyper-notability that is current ITN standards. OneWorld was news; that two airlines from different countries were allowed to merge, especially given the mess
Branson put up over British and American's ties within that alliance was surprising. The Ipad was a slightly better version of one company's product. Putting that on our main page would have directed another million eyeballs towards Apple's product launch that was in now way surprising or unexpected; a claim that it would have been advertising cannot fall under IDONTLIKEIT, editors have a responsibility to not let our main page become a sales site for Apple products, or anyone else's.
4079:(Good Article). That was from 27 February to 18 March (some 20 days), and the article was nominated once at the time of the death, and then again at the time of the funeral. What was notable was the amount the article has been edited and improved by in the interval. I found myself wondering if this should count for anything in the ITN criteria or not? Maybe there should be a line in ITN to showcase articles that have been improved to a certain level after appearing in the news, following an initial ITN submission (whether that initial submission resulted in the item being posted or not)? In other words, if someone submits a candidate for an item that was in the news, and then returns a few weeks or a month later and says "following the recent news cycle, the article has been updated and reached this standard, I would like to ask for it to be included in the

consideration of the name.) Not everyone may agree, but without defining what we want from ITN and what we hope to achieve I don't believe we will get anywhere useful. (To repeat an example I mentioned below, saying we want 60 per month which you then say we already get doesn't help explain what you're trying to achieve. To use another example, when most people say ITN is not a news ticker and in your proposal you say 'the basic idea behind ITN is a news ticker', it's also not clear how this is going to lead anywhere useful unless you can first convince people that ITN is a newsticker.) P.S. I would hope the read more about proposal doesn't come as news to any of the proposers since IMHO when you are making a proposal for reform, it's expected you are already somewhat aware of previous proposals, consensus and other common issues.
3244:? And what aspects of these stories are our readers intested in reading on Knowledge (XXG) (do they come to Knowledge (XXG) for more background information on stories they've already read about at news sites, or is there a different pattern?) Is there a way of reliably finding out what our readers are intersted in? I think we sometimes assume that for example since 80% (or whatever) of users come from the US, therefore they want to read about US topics. Is this true? What topics are WP readers interested and want to see on ITN? (sports, politics, current events, entertainment, etc) Should we pay more attention ot article view statistics? Once we know reliable what users are interested in, then we ask, how does this affect what we post? Do we stick strictly to reader interest, or do we have other priorities (

days later (some people actually wait until they think the article is ready before submitting). This puts those candidates at a disadvantage, since they will appear lower down the page and less people will notice and comment, and they will get less overall time for discussion. Is there a way to ensure that candidates submitted 1-2 days into the 5-day cycle don't get lost in the noise of more recent discussions? This will be particularly relevant if the aim is to get more submissions. One way to do it would be to have each candidate marked by both day of the news (though in some cases, the news coverage spans several days) and the date of submission, and to have the option to view either in order of submission, or in order of date. Would that be too difficult to do?
3257:. When we nominate topics we always start by asking what stories are signficant they we find teh articles related, often with little consideration about whether they've been updated or not. Perpaps we should consider doing this in reverse. First, find articles that have been updated recently (about current events) and then nominate them. Also, do we want to consider revising our update requirements? Why do we have an update requirement? What purpose does it serve? This is particularly relavent in a case like a recent death. The article on the person may be of excellent quality and very worthy of showcasing on the main page, and of wide interest to our readers, but only have a 1-2 sentence update. This may result in ITN editors adding unnecessary

just list articles - you would do it alphabetically and highlight alternate entires to make it easier to scan the list). The latter would list articles that had: (a) featured in the news in several countries within the last few weeks or month; and (b) were either already GA or FA, or had been improved to GA or FA class (must have gone through a formal review process). Dumping the blurbs is too radical, but I think it is easily possible to have a line or two at the bottom of the ITN template to showcase GA and FA articles currently in the news that have had timely updates. More restricting would be to require the work done to get to GA or FA status to have been
3938:. In other words, ITN is not there to report the news, but to report our updates on articles about topics that are currently in (or have recently been) in the news. I would even go so far as to say that ITN should have a mixture of items of immediate interest, and items that are of less immediate interest, but showcase how articles can be improved during a news cycle. The former would attract readers and others to help improve articles on fast-developing stories, and the latter would showcase how the news cycle can (on a longer timescale) drive article updates. I have three case studies as examples, which I'll post below in a new section.
2702:
the latest
Lindsay Lohan arrest. However, people have claimed that things such as the election of the governor of California is not important enough to go up on ITN, even if it had a quality article, because California is "just a subnational government." Similarly, the selection of the new British Labour Party leader, which is akin to a U.S. primary election, was rejected as not being important enough. I think that if a news event has a quality article, is widely in the media and has a lot of reader interest, it should be OK for ITN so long as it is non-trivial. --
2043:. MickMacNee made a lot of good poionts above, but I think there is a fix. The fix is to lower the notabilty (for lack of a better word) standards and increase the number of postings. If we could post a couple a day, people would be less concerned about something they don't agree with getting posted because it'll be rotated out faster. Of course this doesn't mean article quality should slip. The first question that should be asked is if the article is in good shape, and is it updated. Then, unless it's clearly something no one would be interested in, post it.

affects, but it will affect far more people, especially among the
Knowledge (XXG)-reading public. And that's assuming that a change in government could have really had that much of an effect on people's lives. Obviously, something like the Russian Revolutions of 1917 have a huge impact on just about everyone in the country, but I'm guessing that (for example) there are a lot of Canadians for whom it would have made little difference on their lives had the Liberal Party beaten the Conservative Party in the last election.

should distinguish between plain old celebrity news (Charlie Sheen gets arrested) and legitimate news that involves celebrities (Warner Bros. fires
Charlie Sheen from highly rated TV show). Also, I think in this case what we should look at is not the "reliability" of the sources but the seriousness of them. In order to be appropriate for ITN, news of this type should appear in serious newspapers like The New York Times or Wall Street Journal, not just Entertainment Weekly. --

section from the Main Page one day. I have collected a set of proposals for improvement of the ITN process, both suggested by other editors and my own. I think it is better to discuss the proposals here (at least initially) than on the ITN talk page, since the interest of the wider community may help to implement some actual changes, while the conservative attitudes of regular ITN editors are more likely to get all proposed changes sunk in the discussions with no outcome.
4164:
removal of the Yemen item. That being said, I think OTD needs to bear the brunt of some of this balancing. Yesterday's TFA was not that short; ITN should not have needed to been cut down that much. Note that I even removed one item from OTD, and they were still taking up their fair share. The space issue might need to be coordinated with the other sections, especially DYK and OTD, to ensure there's space for at least five items (or four long items) in ITN. --
707:, notifying of the change in their comments and explaining the reason. If an issue is addressed by someone, the mark is changed with notification in a comment. If at least one user, except the reviewer, confirmes that everything is all right, and all issues are addressed, an administrator checks the review history and posts the nomination. There should be no support/oppose votes, just comments on how nomination passess or fails particular criteria.
1232:. It doesn't work, it never has worked. Not least because nobody can even agree what the hell it is for, let alone get enough people interested in putting up with its time-wasting idiosynchrasies to make it work as it sort of is intended to work as of now. Take the name for examle - it's clearly utterly wrong, which is pointed out several times each week, yet nothing ever happens. That's before you even get into specific problems of the process:
197:. This is a major source of complaints concerning ITN, and should be dealt with. Whatever we call ITN and whatever encyclopedic applications it will have, the basic idea behind ITN is a news ticker. And this news ticker should not be ridiculously slow. ITN should be made closer in dynamics to other parts of the MP, and the articles on ITN should not enjoy too much display on the MP compared to articles in the other sections.
1044:"least dynamic thing on the main page" which is valid observation but not a valid criticism. We get all sort of nominations everyday, i'd geuss we only post maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of stuff nominated. I agree that we need more particpation but no on is but No one thinks ITN is that relevant. But when a Senator gets shot and then ITN get flooded with all sorts of editor clamoring to get our article for the event on the Main page.
4287:
posting criteria, there are a lot less !vote opposes, and there are a lot less silly complaints. The US vice president story is a prime example of all of this, the oppose !voters pretty much all made good cases, noone opposed it because "she's an

of good quality timely content served to the readers. And I have my doubts whether even half the required updates of ITN items actully come from random Joe's, rather than people who either did it for ITN, or did it as they are serial ITN focused topic editors, or were simply alerted to the need of an update by someone wanting to post it at ITN (which by the rules, shouldn't even be making it to the nominations page).
3270:
an updated article out. Another area I'm not sure we do well is science unfortuantely. I could be wrong on this, but it seems to me that it's difficult to get science articels well written by people knowledgeable of the topic. Once we idenify what
Knowledge (XXG) does well, thene we ask, how does that affect Wikpedia postings? Do we try to focus ITN coverage on Knowledge (XXG)'s strengths?
2798:" on the MP is a very interesting idea, worth trying to implement (I just hope there won't be any tide of trivial nominations). Other your proposals are also sensible. We should have a simple nomination process, so that every unexperienced editor could easily nominate something. But after something is nominated, we should use strict criteria for review of the nomination, like I proposed above.

to back it up; and the editors respond by saying, 'oh, those reliable sources have some ulterior motive'. This happened in the discussion on adding IOS updates in to ITNR. Some editors said that mainstream sources are often criticized for over-covering Apple. This may be true, but it's speculation, and
Eraserhead demonstrated that he couldn't find any references to this criticism. --
2401:). This does not meet minimum ITN standards. Even though debate has been rolling on and on, there is still not much more of an update days later. In short, we can't afford to ignore article quality even though the overall voting procedures may be debated. It's irrelevant to blame IDONTLIKEIT opposes for articles not being posted if there is a lack of a sufficient update.

quality of stuff being posted from different topics - I think 60 articles a month is a good target, but I see no reason it cannot be changed afterwards if the consensus is to post more or less content. I don't think there is any issue with the template criteria, they seem very well thought through - I think giving some weight to good content is a good idea. --
2501:-based arguments). This is because the criteria are too vague. There should be a set of guidelines as to which nominations should be allowed on the front page, and which should not. GreyHood's example is more along the lines of what I was thinking, and is what should be instated to ensure a more objective process. From now on, we should be focussing on

little far with what I was trying to say with article quality. I forget what my point was, but I agree that the article quality should remain the same. However, the minimum update requirement should be a little more lenient; it should be based on a case-to-case basis, because sometimes an update is much harder to write for specific stories.
2607:. Second, we usually formulate a blurb halfway through the nomination process, whenever the nomination is gaining some ground. Finally, updating the "bold" article has nothing to do with nominating it. If those were trimmed out, we would have a much more friendly set of instruction, and that will maybe come with new nominators.
2935:
at about 11:00 the article still hadn't been posted to the front page, and actually the
Jacques Chirac article had overtaken it. So I posted a new section at the top of the page to remind everyone about it and that it needed posting and was (fairly I think) criticised by tariqabjotu for doing so as it wasn't very far below.
4145:@ Passionless, the only reason stuff was removed too quickly was due to an admin making a mis-call about main page balancing and removing too many blurbs from ITN, and there being 5 stories posted within 24 hours, which is far from typical. If it becomes typical we can re-consider, but I doubt that will be the case.
1508:
such as the Super Bowl. I think we run into ideology differences between ITN and other sections such as DYK, where the articles are generally updated for the Main Page posting and the little banner on your talk page, and for some of the big concerns to be dealt with, perhaps the mindset needs to change.

which way we tackle this from, but surely one or the other has got to give. If we're going to call it "news", we should generally be hitting a three-day turnaround.

I was intending for this to become at least an informal guideline. I'm happy to accept that the suggestion needs some more work, but lets be honest and accept that 90% of the time people re-commenting after something has been posted are refusing to drop the stick, or are remaking arguments that don't
4407:
Is this a guideline suggestion? If so, I disagree. We should not be trying to limit discussion of an item, and it is valid, for example, if someone conditionally supports an item, but those conditions are not met (and the item is posted), then the person should be allowed to comment after the item is

A point has been made about arguments on the April fools section.

The aim is not to make ITN and TFA balanced; it's to make the left and right columns balanced.

I sort of think I opposed it (but it doesn't matter enough to look), but hindsight being 20/20, yes, we should have posted the original Ipad. It turned out to be significant enough that it met the criteria. The problem is that the launch buzz and marketing speak at the time made it hard to realise

DYK gets its fair share of recent events posted.

As for the problem with the frequency of updates, this is not so much connected to the question of whether ITN is a news ticker, but to a number of facts: that having the stale blurbs standing in the ITN box for over a week, as it frequently happens, is a waste of the MP space; that high rate of the

Although I've yet to see both of these arguments in the same sentence, there are those who use the notion that ITN is not a news ticker to argue against reform, yet at other times say that because the name sounds nice we should continue to call stories up to 8 days old news.

The (admittedly vague so far) concept I have is for ITN to be redesigned slightly to have "Headline news" (or "Global news") and "Article improvements". The former would be what we currently have, but with only 5 lines and slightly shorter blurbs (more radical would be to dump blurbs altogether and

Please don't label opposes you don't agree with as simply being IDONTLIKEIT. If I've ever seen a true IDLI oppose at ITN, they are very few and far between. Lots and lots of items get nominated at ITN that have no real-world significance, and saying so, or saying it's tabloid material, or anything

I agree. At the moment, ITN is ridiculously picky, which is quite discouraging and probably means editors are less incited to even nominate an event to begin with. The results for the Chadian elections came out a week ago now. It's old news. A greater frequency in postings will have many benefits,

The main page is a highlight of all the things we do well; featured content is obviously one, but ITN demonstrates our ability to rapidly compile and summarize information when there is a huge spike in interest. It also gives readers a clear pointer to whatever article name we're using to describe

Okay, I believe that we're on the same page (apart from semantics). When I mentioned "the additional connotation that intended purpose is to report news," I meant that without qualification. In other words, when people refer to a "news ticker," they generally are thinking of an entity for which

It's broken, it's irreparable, and it takes up space that could be used so much better. I can say with absolute certainty based on years of experience of ITN, that you aren't going to increase participation without major changes. You aren't going to increase the turnover without major changes. And

If the rate is already what you want, then what exactly are you trying to fix or achieve? How are you going to get more content onto the main page if you've already agreed we're in fact already close to achieving your target. I would note you've made the claim that keeping an item on the main page

I agree with Mwalcoff, we need to consider how we handle this rather then just diving in to it headlong and hope something good comes out of this (history has shown that doesn't tend to work well on wikipedia with complex issues and substanial participation). For example I personally still believe

Additionally while possibly tightening up these criteria would be better we can do so later. Greyhood has done a good job of spelling out the unofficial criteria often used and it gives latitude on ITNC for some discussion. I also don't think its clear that Robbie Fowler's transfer would have gone

One point I'd like to raise is that at the moment, ITN/C operates on a 5-day cycle. Some candidates get submitted immediately on the day the news breaks, and hence 5 days are available for discussion before that discussion gets archived. Other candidates, though, may not get submitted until a few

I think the aforementioned criteria on whether or not significant coverage was given to the particular event and whether or not the event is trivial and does not impact day-to-day lives. Charlie Sheen should have made it even with the old, vague criteria because a #1-paid actor was fired from the

I think it's important to bear in mind that despite the problems mentioned in this discussion, ITN does serve a useful purpose and its interesting for our readers. While I don't know the statistics, I believe it is the most popular of the sections on the main page in terms of clicks (does anyone

I don't think you're understanding IDON'TLIKEIT. To be honest, we probably don't post enough business events; it's a section of my paper every single day, and maybe a few a year go up; the last one I remember was the OneWorld merger of British Airways and Iberia. There's also whole pages of utter

Agree about MickMacNee's post. I also agree that there's got to be someway of being realistic about this. The objections about posting the IPad2 made me cringe a little. It was a subject covered globally and the article was in great shape. People were interested in it, much more than elections in

You can't possibly think that a head of state change is of lesser importance than a hardware release. That's absurd. A head of state change comes with a possibility of major change in the state, which is why we feature them all. It might not seem important to residents of developed countries, but
1507:
That's where I think one of the the issues is. With many (but not all) ITN articles, the content is simply updated to reflect recent events, not so it can be posted on ITN. Obviously, because of this, articles take longer to be updated and thus go up, and this is especially seen in such articles

But that would take away room from the ITN which already has a major shortage of room, as seen in the last few days new blurbs are coming at decent pace, but as no new room has been added that means that now the blurbs are disappearing way too fast. Important blurbs are being treated like Farrah

Of course if you guys want to restrict the amount of celebrity news we can post with some objective criteria, possibly including strong coverage by non-tabloids, then by all means, that sounds good, if those objective criteria would stop us posting events like Charlie Sheen - great - at least we
2211:
I don't think there's any of that going on. People are opposing the Sheen thing as tabloidy, but Knowledge (XXG) as a whole covers those kinds of topics without any problem. What other reason is left? The topic is notable enough, the article is basically in shape, there's interest in it and it's
2184:
I agree with lowering ITN's "notability" criteria. It's a (slow) news ticker that IMO should give showcasing quality Knowledge (XXG) articles more priority (like FA & DYK) than having great historical significance (like OTD). As the person/event is "in the news", it and related articles will

I like the idea, but I don't know if I like having definite criteria, like the number of countries the story has to run in or saying Prince William is OK but Prince Harry isn't. I'd prefer to set out some general principles and let ITN contributors make decisions accordingly. I do think that we

I agree that we should lower the bar on notability but this is far easier said than done as I see. If we move the goalposts on notability back, presumably some events that under today's standards wouldn't be posted will be posted in the future. To go directly to a controversial example, if we

From the discussion here hopefully we can get the timer to go red after 12 hours (and maybe yellow after 8 hours or something), maybe a link on the front page to suggest things for inclusion, and ideally a better idea of what ITN is for, but even if we do none of those things we appear to have
3732:
I would say that a lot of the problem here stems from the question put forth above, 'What is ITN for?' I lot of people object to celebrity news on the basis of 'Knowledge (XXG)/ITN is not a tabloid/entertainment magazine/ etc'. That sounds hard to dispute, but it leaves out the all important

Of course, another issue we have is the low number of nominations. Some days we don't even have a single nomination for a day, which doesn't make sense when news outlets never run out of material. I think this is just a matter of complexity regarding what to do on the nomination page, and more

Hope this doesn't look too complex. Anyway, most of the current discussions on ITN go along these lines, and if we make a formal procedure, this may make things faster, though it will require more work from nominators/reviewers. Also, this will highlight the issues, and encourage nominators to

I too agree with Mwalcoff's criteria, providing it is realised that some items may not meet all the criteria. My view is that ITN should be used to both direct readers towards, and to showcase articles that have been recently updated and can be, or have been, improved due to work done, or the

Agree with you on the fact that ITN is a news ticker (and too slow currently), and will always be a news ticker because it's the basic idea behind it. Disagree that ITN is irrepairable. We just should try to make ITN process more "valuable, structured, understandable" as it is on DYK and TFA.

along those lines is in no way, and in no form, an IDONTLIKEIT oppose vote. There's no way to objectify significance on many of these things, it comes down to a lot of feel and experience, and expressing that should not be institutionally discounted, which Eraserhead's proposal here does.

Mwalcoff completely nailed it. ITN is basically a portal by which users can access quality articles on subjects that are getting news coverage. I especially like the fact that whether a news event is especially notable or otherwise globally/internationally relevant is not emphasized.
3454:
We really need to get real about commercial products, they are an important part of the news, and we need to stop being scared to post them. Possibly we need a brief commercial products criteria or at least some mention of them in the guidelines so that they get posted more often. --
696:. Some of the additional criteria may be omitted from review (all but the first one in the case of ITN/R), and the whole procedure could be omitted ("speedy nomination") in case of too obviously significant event which has a good article (for example, in case of FIFA World Cup Final).
132:
This is not so much a proposal, but rather an aim and indicator of success of proposals below or other possible proposals. If we manage to make ITN nomination process less slow, more predictable and friendlier to non-regular editors, than I'm sure we'll achieve the aim of inreasing

If we post the iPad 2, that is a clear COI issue; why didn't we post the other tons of tablets released in the last year? Why are we only concentrating on Apple's releases? The first iPad is different because it was the first to be mass-produced for commercial sale, but not this.
1392:
As for changing the name, this is not an issue for me, and I'm ready to accept any better name. But so far, I haven't seen any good enough proposals, and ITN with all its drawbacks remains the best variant (short and at least partially describing the purpose of the section).
3224:
After that, we need to consider how best to provide links to stories. I think teh key thing here is to always remember that that is what ITN is for, to link readers to stories of interest. That's fundamentally why we are not a newsticker, even if we are similar to one.

So if you're merely referring to the section's style, I suggest that you modify your terminology (because the common statement that the section "is not a news ticker" refers to something entirely different and has no bearing on how frequently updates should occur).

Thanks for making that comment. The issue with the tabloid fodder in the Charlie Sheen is that there are a huge number of high-end English language sources covering it tabloid fodder

I further concur with Mwalcoff, article standards should not be lowered to allow more items to be posted; more articles must be brought up to Main Page standard before being posted.

Really, there is no absolute, objective definition of "importance." What is important to you may not be important to someone in a different place or under different circumstances.

I think this is sensible, better criteria would help define what ITN is for. I certainly agree on inclusionism, that's why I've started supporting even pacific island elections. --

the fact that it's normally a complete waste of time even suggesting blurbs even in those obvious item circumstances, a passing admin will just draft it however the hell they choose

the fact that it takes hours to post events that are obvious ITN items and are known about well in advance - the World Cup Final, the Super Bowl, the Wimbledon tennis final, etc etc

I will reiterate the statement that ITN is not broken and is not worthy of being removed; there are just two simple problems with the process, and these can be fixed very easily.

Because every time a celebrity event is proposed we have a big unproductive argument about whether the event is notable I think some specific celebrity criteria are a good idea.

I agree with your definition of a news ticker. But I don't think that reporting news is an additional connotation non-relevant to ITN. ITN's purpuse is reporting news, yes, but

I did know this Spencer, infact it's the very reason I listed it - to show that ITN cannot even function in a way a normal reader would expect it to,

I think it's a good idea to establish the purpose of ITN before determining what the criteria should be. I believe the purpose of ITN should be:

The first problem, as we've pointed out numerous times, is the standards for determining which nominations should be accepted. ITN, at its core,

example). I would caution against hard-and-fast numerical rules for notability, such as a certain number of people who die in a plane crash. --
820:
That's not the point of ITN at all. ITN isn't around as a news ticker, but to showcase encyclopedic articles about events that are in the news.

I think COI was a little too strong... I'm saying that we're biased toward Apple's releases, whereas tons of other tablets are being released.

I wouldn't say the Ipad is more important than Samoan elections, but I would say that it is of 'wider interest', which is a criteria for ITN.--

So I think it's important to say that we so some things well. But we're trying to find ways to improve the service so here's my stab at it.

Thanks. I think that as part of the criteria, we can also describe what does not make a good ITN entry, such as "routine" matters. --

Quite often we are more elitist than even the Economist (like we are on the Sheen story), who are much less populist than the BBC. --

I agree that hard and fast numerical figures a probably not the best idea. People weren't happy with the suggestion for elections. --

For one, we don't actually care whether or not the event happened on that specific date, never mind making sure it is

The point that MMN is trying to make, is that ITN hasn't really (so far) changed enough over the years. We need to be
