Dorothy Olsen

Dorothy Olsen (1916–2019) was an American aircraft pilot and member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during World War II. She developed an interest in aviation at a young age and earned her private pilot's license in 1939, when it was unusual for women to be pilots. In 1943, Olsen joined the newly formed WASPs as a civil service employee. After training in Texas, she was assigned to the Sixth Ferrying Group in Long Beach, California, where she worked ferrying new aircraft from the factories where they were built to U.S. airbases. She flew more than 20 types of military airplanes, including high-performance fighters – such as the P-51 and the twin-engine P-38 – which she favored over larger aircraft such as bombers. After the war, Olsen retired from flying and moved to the state of Washington, where she married, raised a family, and lived for the rest of her life. In 2009, she was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal honoring her service during the war. (Full article...)

    Nazca lines

    The Nazca lines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created in two major phases – the Paracas phase (from 400 BC to 200 BC) and the Nazca phase (from 200 BC to 500 AD). The combined length of all the lines is more than 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group covers an area of about 50 km2 (19 sq mi). Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them. The lines were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. This is an aerial view of the geoglyph known as the "monkey", one of the most well-known in the Nazca lines.

    Adele
    Adele

    "Can I Get It" is a song by English singer Adele from her fourth studio album, 30 (2021). Adele wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. It was released by Columbia Records as the album's sixth track on 19 November 2021. A pop song with pop rock and country pop influences, "Can I Get It" has acoustic guitar, drum, and horn instrumentation and a whistled hook. The song is about moving on from a breakup and desiring a committed relationship, exploring Adele's search for true love and a new relationship. Music critics were generally positive about its acoustic portion and lyrics but highly criticised its whistled hook. They thought the brazen pop production of "Can I Get It" catered to the tastes of mainstream radio, which made it an outlier on 30, and compared it to Flo Rida's single "Whistle" (2012). The song reached the top 20 in Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Finland, and Norway and entered the top 40 in some other countries. (This article is part of a featured topic: 30 (album).)

    Scenes and characters from Ruddygore

    Ruddigore is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. The tenth of fourteen comic operas written together by Gilbert and Sullivan, it was first performed by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company at the Savoy Theatre in London in 1887. Some critics and audience members initially felt that Ruddygore (its original title) did not measure up to its predecessor, The Mikado. After changes, including respelling the title, it achieved a run of 288 performances and was profitable. This 1887 illustration by Amédée Forestier depicts scenes and characters from Ruddygore for The Illustrated London News. Since D'Oyly Carte revived the piece in 1920, it has been regularly performed.

    Sadamichi Kajioka, commander of the convoy
    Sadamichi Kajioka, commander of the convoy

    The Take Ichi convoy was an Imperial Japanese Navy convoy of World War II. Under the command of Rear Admiral Sadamichi Kajioka (pictured), the convoy left Shanghai on 17 April 1944, carrying two infantry divisions to reinforce Japan's defensive positions in the Philippines and western New Guinea. United States Navy submarines attacked the convoy on 26 April and 6 May, sinking four transports and killing more than 4,000 soldiers. These losses caused the convoy to be diverted to Halmahera, where the surviving soldiers and their equipment were unloaded. The failure to bring the two divisions to their destination without loss contributed to the Imperial General Headquarters' decision to move Japan's defensive perimeter back by 1,000 km (600 mi). The divisions' combat power was also blunted by their losses, and while they both saw action against United States Army forces, they contributed little to Japan's attempt to defend its empire.

    Front cover of the first edition

    The Structure of Literature is a 1954 book of literary criticism by Paul Goodman, the published version of his doctoral dissertation. It proposes a mode of formal literary analysis in which Goodman defines a formal structure within an isolated literary work, finds how parts of the work interact with each other to form a whole, and uses those definitions to study other works. He analyzes multiple literary works as examples with close reading and genre discussion. Goodman finished his dissertation in 1940, but took 14 years to publish it. In mixed reviews, critics described the book as falling short of its aims; engaging psychological insight and incisive asides were mired in glaring style issues and jargon that made passages impenetrable or obscured his argument. Though Goodman contributed to the development of the Chicago School of Aristotelian formal literary criticism, he neither received wide academic recognition for his dissertation nor was his method accepted by his field.

    Original manuscript of Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven

    The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe. This photograph displays page 12 of Beethoven's original manuscript, which is currently held in the collection of the Berlin State Library.

    Silhouette of Anna Blackburne

    Anna Blackburne (1726–1793) was an English botanist and collector. She was born at Orford Hall in Lancashire into a family of landowners and after her mother's death she remained there with her father, John Blackburne, who had hothouses for exotic plants and an extensive library. Blackburne taught herself Latin so she could read the Systema Naturae of Carl Linnaeus, and created a natural history museum where she collected insects, shells, minerals and birds. She knew the naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster, who instructed her in entomology, and corresponded with other naturalists including Linnaeus. Her brother Ashton, who lived in New York, sent her specimens of North American birds, which were described by the naturalist Thomas Pennant in his Arctic Zoology. After her father's death, Blackburne and her museum moved to nearby Fairfield Hall. After her death, her nephew John Blackburne inherited her collection. Several species are named for her, including the Blackburnian warbler. (Full article...)

    Horned sungem

    The horned sungem (Heliactin bilophus) is a species of hummingbird native to Brazil, Bolivia and Suriname. It prefers open habitats such as savanna, grassland and garden, and expanded its range into southern Amazonas and Espírito Santo, probably due to deforestation. It is a small hummingbird with a long tail and a short, black bill. The sexes differ in appearance, with males having two shiny red, golden, and green feather "horns" above the eyes, a shiny blue head crest and a black throat with a pointed "beard". The female is plainer, with a brown or yellow–buff throat. It is a nomadic species, responding to the seasonal flowering of its food plants. If a flower's shape is unsuited to the bird's short bill, it may rob nectar through a hole at its base. It also eats small insects. Only the female builds the small cup nest, incubates the two white eggs, and rears the chicks. The species is currently classified as least concern, and its population is thought to be increasing.

    The Felix M. Warburg House is a mansion at 1109 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was built from 1907 to 1908 for the German-American Jewish financier Felix M. Warburg, in the Châteauesque style, and designed by C. P. H. Gilbert. After Warburg's death in 1937, his widow sold it to a real estate developer. When plans to replace it with luxury apartments fell through, ownership reverted to the Warburgs, who donated it in 1944 to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. In 1947, the Seminary opened the Jewish Museum in the mansion. The house was named a New York City designated landmark in 1981 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1993, Kevin Roche constructed an annex to the house in Gilbert's style, built with stone from the same quarry that supplied the original mansion. Critical reviews of the original house's architecture have generally been positive while the extension received a mixed reception. (Full article...)

    Leucippus

    Leucippus was a Greek philosopher of the 5th century BCE. He is credited with founding atomism, with his student Democritus. Leucippus divided the world into two entities: atoms, indivisible particles that make up all things, and the void, the nothingness between the atoms. Leucippus's ideas were influential in ancient and Renaissance philosophy. They were a precursor to modern atomic theory, but the two are only superficially similar. Leucippus's atoms come in infinitely many forms, all in constant motion, creating a deterministic world created by the collisions of atoms. The soul is viewed as an arrangement of spherical atoms, cycled through the body by respiration and creating thought and sensory input. Little is known of his life, with a few scholars doubting that he existed, attributing his ideas purely to Democritus. Two works are attributed to Leucippus, The Great World System and On Mind, but all of his writing has been lost except for one sentence. (Full article...)

    Oceanic whitetip shark

    A oceanic whitetip shark swimming near a diver

    The oceanic whitetip shark is a large pelagic requiem shark inhabiting tropical and warm temperate seas. It has a stocky body with long, white-tipped, rounded fins. The species is typically solitary, though they may gather in large numbers at food concentrations. Bony fish and cephalopods are the main components of its diet. Females give live birth after a gestation period of nine to twelve months. Though slow-moving, it is opportunistic and aggressive, reputed to be dangerous to shipwreck survivors. Up to the 16th century, mariners noted that this species was the most common ship-following shark. The IUCN Red List considers the species to be Critically Endangered, with a decline in every ocean region they inhabit. Recent studies show steeply declining populations as they are harvested for their fins and meat. As with other shark species, the whitetip faces mounting fishing pressure throughout its range.

    • Most recent similar article(s): Last fish article was Smooth toadfish on October 28.
    • Main editors: Yomangani
    • Promoted: August 21, 2006
    • Reasons for nomination: Suggesting a fish article since one hasn't run in several months. This would be a TFA re-run from 2007. Seems to be in good shape. No preference on what date it runs or if it is delayed to subsequent months.

    Darkness on the Edge of Town

    Bruce Springsteen in 1981
    Bruce Springsteen in 1981

    Darkness on the Edge of Town is the fourth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on June 2, 1978, by Columbia Records. The album was recorded during sessions in New York City with the E Street Band from June 1977 to March 1978, after a series of legal disputes between Springsteen and his former manager Mike Appel. Darkness musically strips the Wall of Sound production of its predecessor, Born to Run, for a rawer hard rock sound emphasizing the band as a whole. The lyrics focus on ill-fortuned characters who fight back against overwhelming odds. Released three years after Born to Run, Darkness did not sell as well as its predecessor but reached number five in the U.S. Critics initially praised the album's music and performances but were divided on the lyrical content. In recent decades, Darkness has attracted acclaim as one of Springsteen's best works and has appeared on lists of the greatest albums of all time. (Full article...)

    • I mean the 50th is another four years. I'm already intent on getting Born to Run to FA before its 50th in August 2025. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Coordinator comment While I agree that the Trainor album is the last similar album to run, we do have another record album nomination for June 9. I'm not sure I'm justified in running both. I don't consider the June 9 to have dibs because it got here first. I would welcome comments from the community on which should be run.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
      • Wehwalt, I see that this isn't on your rough draft for June. FWIW, I'd be happy to run it in July. - Dank (push to talk) 15:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    It isn't, but it can easily be rearranged.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Dank had intended to run Darkness in January 2024 but I asked if it could wait til June, which they said was ok here (for a little background on why I'm nominating it for TFA now). – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Support. For what it is worth, I don't see a 1970's rock album and a 2000's rap album to be that much in competition that they could or should not be run in the same month. We have done worse. If it is felt that they should not both appear in the same month - an entirely reasonable view - then to me it is a coin toss as to which to go with. (I realise that this is not very helpful, sorry.) Gog the Mild (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • I'll let Dank run it in July then.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    Thomas Cranmer

    Portrait of Thomas Cranmer in 1545
    Portrait of Thomas Cranmer in 1545

    Thomas Cranmer was a leader of the English Reformation and Archbishop of Canterbury. He helped build the case for the annulment of Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, a cause of the separation of the English Church from the Holy See. He established the first doctrinal and liturgical structures of the Church of England and published the Exhortation and Litany. When Edward VI was king, Cranmer published the Book of Common Prayer, changed doctrine or discipline in several areas, and promulgated the new doctrines through the Homilies. Upon the accession Mary I, Cranmer was put on trial for treason and heresy. While imprisoned he made several recantations and reconciled himself with the Catholic Church. Mary wanted him executed, so he was burned at the stake and withdrew his recantations. Cranmer's death was immortalised in Foxe's Book of Martyrs and his legacy continues through the Book of Common Prayer and the Thirty-Nine Articles. (Full article...)

    July 2009 Ürümqi riots

    Footage of the first day of the riots

    Riots began on 5 July 2009 in Ürümqi, the capital city of Xinjiang in northwestern China. It started as a protest that escalated into violent attacks mostly targeting Han people. According to Chinese state media, 197 people died with 1,721 others injured and many vehicles and buildings destroyed. Sseveral Uyghurs disappeared during police sweeps following the riots; Human Rights Watch documented 43 cases but said the figure was likely higher. Chinese media coverage of the riots was extensive and compared favourably by foreign media to the unrest in Tibet in 2008. In the weeks that followed, official sources reported that over 1,000 people were arrested while Uyghur-run mosques were temporarily closed. Communication limitations and an armed police presence remained for several months. By November 2009, over 400 individuals faced criminal charges for their actions during the riots. By February 2010, at least 26 had received death sentences. (Full article...)

    Tales of Monkey Island

    Dave Grossman, who led the design of the game

    Tales of Monkey Island is a graphic adventure video game developed by Telltale Games under license from LucasArts. It is the fifth game in the Monkey Island series, released a decade after the previous installment. The game was released in five episodic segments between July and December 2009. Players assume the role of Guybrush Threepwood who releases a voodoo pox and seeks a cure. The game was conceived in late 2008 due to renewed interest in adventure game development within LucasArts. Production began in early 2009, led by Dave Grossman (pictured). It received generally positive reviews, with praise for the game's story, writing, humor, voice acting and characterization. Complaints focused on the quality of the game's puzzle design, a weak supporting cast in the early chapters, and the game's control system. Tales of Monkey Island garnered several industry awards and was Telltale's most commercially successful project until Back to the Future: The Game. (Full article...)

    Hanford Engineer Works

    Automatic tube loader of B Reactor at the Hanford Engineer Works

    The Hanford Engineer Works (HEW) was a nuclear production complex in Benton County, Washington, established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II. Plutonium manufactured at the HEW was used in the atomic bomb detonated in the Trinity test on 16 July 1945, and the Fat Man bomb used in the bombing of Nagasaki on 9 August 1945. DuPont was the prime contractor for its design, construction and operation. The land acquisition was one of the largest in US history. Construction commenced in March 1943, and the construction workforce reached a peak of nearly 45,000 workers in June 1944. B Reactor, the world's first full-scale plutonium production nuclear reactor, went critical in September 1944, followed by D and F reactors in December 1944 and February 1945 respectively. The HEW suffered an outage on 10 March 1945 due to a Japanese balloon bomb. The total cost of the HEW up to December 1946 was over $348 million (equivalent to $4.1 billion in 2023).

    Today's featured list launched in June 2011, initially on each Monday. In January 2014 it was agreed to expand to appear twice a week. The lists will be selected by the FL director, based on the consensus of the community.

    To submit a list for main page consideration, you simply need to draft a short summary of the list, in approximately 1000 characters, along with a relevant image from the list itself, using the template provided below. Should you need any assistance using the template, feel free to ask for help on the talk page. If you are nominating a list submitted by someone else, consider notifying the significant contributor(s) with {{subst:tfln|NAME OF LIST}} ~~~~

    The community will review submissions, and suggest improvements where appropriate. If a blurb receives broad support, and there are no actionable objections, one of the directors will confirm that it has been accepted for main page submission. Please note there should be no more than fifteen nominations listed here at any one time.

    In rare circumstances, the directors reserve the right to exclude a list from main page consideration, a practice consistent with other main page sections such as Today's featured article and Picture of the day. Should this ever happen, a detailed explanation will be given.

    List of Colorado ballot measures

    A Colorado woman campaigns for women's suffrage
    A Colorado woman campaigns for women's suffrage

    The U.S. state of Colorado has had a system of direct voting since gaining statehood in 1876. Citizens and the Colorado General Assembly both have the ability to place new legislation, those recently passed by the General Assembly, and constitutional amendments on the ballot for a popular vote. Colorado has three types of ballot measures that can be voted on in a statewide election: initiatives, referendums, and legislatively referred measures. The first successful citizen-initiated measures were passed in 1912. Since that time, ballot measures have played a major role in Colorado politics. After Denver was awarded the hosting rights to the 1976 Winter Olympics, citizens moved to block funding the games with a ballot measure in 1972. A 1990 ballot measure instituting term limits for many elected officials helped galvanize a nationwide movement for term limits, and 2000's Amendment 20 legalized the medical use of marijuana. That measure was followed by full decriminalization in 2012 and the decriminalization of psilocybin mushrooms in 2022. (Full list...)

    I would suggest August 1, 2024 to coincide with Colorado's 148th anniversary of statehood. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 12:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

    @ThadeusOfNazereth: Note that August 1 is a Thursday; this could be run on August 2 (Friday) instead, or postponed to next year when August 1 is a Friday since it seems like this is lining up with just a "regular" anniversary instead of a "major" anniversary (like 20 years, 50, 100, etc.). RunningTiger123 (talk) 20:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
    @RunningTiger123: Thanks for the ping. I'd rather it run sooner rather than later so I am fine with August 2, 2024. In 52 years I'll make sure to renominate for the 200th anniversary, though! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me!

    Anthony Davis, the first pick in the draft, in his rookie season for the New Orleans Hornets

    The 2012 NBA draft was held on June 28, 2012, at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey and broadcast in the United States on ESPN. The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA draft lottery on May 30. For the first time in draft history, the first two players selected were from the same school (Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were teammates at Kentucky). It also set a record of having six players from one school (Kentucky) selected and was the first draft to have the first three selections be college freshmen all from the same conference (Southeastern Conference). Bernard James was the oldest player ever drafted, being 27 years old at the time of the draft. Four of the players selected never played in an NBA game. The draft class went on to have six players who participated in an All-Star Game, seven players who combined for 10 championships, as well as having Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard both named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021. (Full list...)

    Would suggest for June 28, 2024 to coincide with the 12th anniversary of the draft. -- ZooBlazer 02:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

    A black-capped chickadee, the provincial bird of New Brunswick

    The Canadian province of New Brunswick has 441 species of birds. The Maritime lies within the Appalachian Mountain range and is largely covered by temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, with the northern part of the province also containing boreal forest. These ecosystems contribute to the diversity of birds in the province. Additionally, the Atlantic Flyway passes through New Brunswick's coast, with areas within the Bay of Fundy such as the Shepody Bay significantly contributing to the variety of bird species that breed in or migrate through the province. Of the 441 species, 94 are accidentals, 55 are noted as rare as defined by the New Brunswick Bird Records Committee (NBBRC), eight were introduced to North America, three are extinct and another is possibly extinct. (Full list...)

    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.

    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.

    Purge this page to update the cache

    Headers

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

    Voicing an opinion on an item

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

    Please do...

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

    Please do not...

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

    Suggesting updates

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

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

    The mission has various phases over 53 days. It has started and so is in the news. The article will need updating as it progresses and so might be a candidate for Ongoing in due course. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

    Ongoing Science! Article seems fine, except for a tweet being used as a source. Would be great to have an expected timeline of the mission. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 10:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    Missions like this are not good for ongoing because there will not be daily news coverage of it, only things like this launch, its landing, its relaunch, and its return. — Masem (t) 12:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • The first in this case seems to be the goal of bringing samples home from the dark side. The blurb has been updated accordingly. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:32, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Support. The article is a bit light, but does meet our minimum requirements. This qualifies as ITNR. The originally suggested blurb is poor, I've added alt1. Modest Genius talk 10:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Support alt1 which does not repeat the error of calling the Far Side the 'dark side', and is generally clearer. I'm personally not a fan of posting every space mission, but this is clearly within the ITNR parameters for them. GenevieveDEon (talk) 11:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose for now but Tentative support landing when that happens, though right now the article quality is not great for posting - its missing a lot of details we'd expect for a major space mission. This doesn't meet any of the ITNR for space exploration, but when it lands on the moon (and ideally, in working condition), then that is ITNR. I cannot find the timeline for this, but using Chang'e 4 as a reference, it will only take about 5-6 days to get to lunar orbit, but then at which point I dont know how long after it will take to land (Chang'e 4 took about 2 weeks from orbit to land). --Masem (t) 13:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
      Was that ITNR criterion changed at some point? I was convinced it covered both the launch and arrival of interplanetary missions, but you're right WP:ITNR doesn't actually say that. I'm happy with wait for landing if that's the consensus. Modest Genius talk 13:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
      At one point I am pretty sure we have the first launches of any new type of rocket on there, but with commercial space activities now happening, I think we removed that. Even then, this would not have qualified as its not a new rocket. The probe is the newsworthy item and assuming a soft landing, it would be good for that, as well as successful end of mission (return to earth w/ samples) — Masem (t) 14:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose per Masem; ITNR doesn't cover launches, only successful arrivals. Arrival of spacecraft (to lunar orbit and beyond) at their destinations Kcmastrpc (talk) 13:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Wait until landing, if successful, per Masem and Kcmastrpc ✈ mike_gigs talkcontribs 13:37, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    Weak support for blurb, stronger support for waiting for landing This is a notable event in space travel and for science in general, but I think the landing will be more suitable for the blurb. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 15:11, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Points arising
    1. The ITN/R issue is not important because items are not required to be ITN/R to be posted. For example, we're currently blurbing the Voyager update even though that's not ITN/R. The essential requirement is that the item is in the news and this moon shot is now the current news while the Voyager item is getting stale.
    2. The ultimate destination of this probe is back on Earth as the main idea is to gather samples and study them here. But we don't want to wait until everything is over. Waiting for the moon landing may be problematic technically as the landing is on the dark/far side and so will be done autonomously and so communications will presumably be difficult or delayed.
    3. The bottom line is that this item is international news now. Why can't we just do the obvious thing and post it now? Perfect is the enemy of good.
    Andrew🐉(talk) 17:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    The probe's destination is the moon, even if the ultimate destination is returning back to earth. Just because communication will be spotty doesn't mean the space agency won't know if it landed or not. — Masem (t) 13:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
    The short of it is that it's gotten broad news, but it's been in the same category as China's prior two launches to the Moon that happened this same year. It's worth noting that the launch of IM-1 wasn't even nominated back on February 15. However, its landing on February 22 was nominated as ITN/R and quickly approved.
    Provided this mission lands on the Moon successfully, this will fare the same, quickly approved as ITN/R. (which is to be expected later this month) As this is a sample-return mission, this means that it would also be prime for an ITN spot in late June: not covered in ITN/R, but "returning a sample from the Moon to Earth" is substantial enough to be notable on its own. Meanwhile, a mere launch is not. So this mission is already on track for two separate ITN appearances; it doesn't need a third that may well still be on the board when the second happens. Nottheking (talk) 04:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
    Support but Far side and also mention that cubesat of Pakistan that also launched with it (ICUBE-Q) RΔ𝚉🌑R-𝕏 (talk) 11:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
    Wait. The significant part of the mission is on the return aspect of it. If it successfully returns to earth with lunar samples from the far side, then I’d say it should be posted. RPH (talk) 13:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Wait - the riskiest portion is the moon landing. The most interesting part is the return to earth. We should wait for one of those.
      Separately, Oppose on quality; the article says the mission is 53 days, but details like "when is it expected to arrive/leave the moon's surface" are missing. 217.180.228.138 (talk) 23:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
    Wait till it successfully returns to earth. PrinceofPunjabTALK 04:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
    Wait partly as per Masem. ITN/R hasn't covered this sort of event since it was first revised to actually specify individual criteria in October 2011. (before then it did cover all space launches, which only worked because almost no one was covering them... As well as there being far fewer) While there's been further revision, (especially starting in 2021, which gradually saw the initial 2011 list of 6 criteria gradually drop to just the 3 we have as of this writing) at no point in the past 13 years would this have qualified as ITN/R.
    Granted, a lot of folk forget that items that aren't ITN/R can be posted, even when they aren't mass casualty disasters. However, context is key, and this is not only the fifth launch of spacecraft intended for a lunar orbit or surface regime this year, but the third such Chinese launch this year. So the launch itself, if nominal, isn't going to be terribly noteworthy; in the mission's page it'll be limited to a sentence or two.
    However, I look forward to supporting this once it arrives on the surface the Moon, and again once it returns its sample to Earth. The former will be an ITN/R posting, the latter a posting that isn't ITN/R, but would most certainly merit sufficient notability on its own. Nottheking (talk) 04:22, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose Merely stating an intention to boycott a particular store doesn't mean it will actually occur on a widespread scale. The most likely outcome is that a handful of people avoid shopping at the company's stores, while life will carry on as normal for everyone else. In the absence of objective proof that the company experiences a sustained (multi-week) significant decline in sales, this is not worthy of a blurb. Chrisclear (talk) 11:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose: it's questionable whether the subject even deserves its own article (it could probably be described in a paragraph in the Loblaw Companies article), or whether the boycott will be at all significant (much as we're frustrated by high grocery prices, we still need to eat). --RFBailey (talk) 11:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose. I too am surprised we even have an article about the intentions of Reddit users. Even if all 60,000 genuinely stop shopping there for a month, Loblaws will barely notice. If this somehow has major impacts (e.g. bankrupts the chain or causes major social unrest) then I'll be willing to reassess, but so far the impact is zero and likely to remain that way. Is the boycott against Loblaw Companies, as linked in the proposed blurb, or just the Loblaws supermarkets? Modest Genius talk 11:33, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
      I understand the concerns as well as the opposition towards nominating for ITN, but I support this being a standalone article. It's received pretty adequate coverage in the few months leading up to the boycott and it's definitely one of the most established consumer boycott movements directly related to the 2021–2023 inflation surge and in the 2020s overall outside of the American conservative-led Bud Light and Target Pride Month boycotts/backlash movements.

    The article needs more work but the first guitar hero already has a Legacy section which makes a start at showing his considerable influence. The NYT explains that "Mr. Eddy had tremendous success as a strictly instrumental recording artist in the late 1950s and ’60s, selling millions of records worldwide with growling, echo-laden hits like “Rebel Rouser” and “Forty Miles of Bad Road.” In the process, he played a major role in establishing electric guitar as the predominant musical instrument in rock ’n’ roll. Mr. Eddy influenced a multitude of rock guitarists, including George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Springsteen..." Andrew🐉(talk) 22:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Could Andrew possibly explain why he thinks the person is blurb worthy? No number-1 hits anywhere, not a Jimi Hendrix type, the "legacy" section is just some random name-dropping. 217.180.228.138 (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose RD on quality, lots of unsourced material. Oppose blurb the article is begging to explain the type of influence he might have - just saying other musicians found him an influence doesn't make him a great figure in terms of modern music. Masem (t) 22:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
    Oppose RD various unsourced paragraphs. Oppose blurb he was not a household name and I do not seem to find anything why he should be blurbed. PrinceofPunjabTALK 03:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose RD due to many unreliable sources (Discogs, IMDB, AllMusic, ...). Oppose blurb, not a household name and not a significant death. The Legacy section listing people "acknowledging Eddy's influence" is extremely vague and not very encyclopedic. Also, "influential" is WP:PEACOCK and shouldn't be used as a descriptor, especially on the main page. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 12:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose Blurb inb4 "two wrongs don't make a right", but Little Richard was scandalously posted as RD only despite his immense influence on the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Prince inter alia. (check the length and detail of his legacy section vis-a-vis Mr Eddy's). If that fell below the bar of an influential musician, then the bar is very high. Unknown Temptation (talk) 09:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

    Unless I'm missing something, those two deaths weren't previously reported at all. A death going from reported to more widely reported is different, in that the article update remains stale. Again, that's unless I'm missing something. InedibleHulk (talk) 10:34, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose - until it meets quality standards. Too many {cn} tags, and the “Reception” section has at least 3 long and unwieldy quotes from Michael Dirda, Donna Seaman, and James Wood (undue weight to these 3 book reviewers). Also have a question: Do we need ISBN’s for the bibliography section? I will Support Blurb when the article meets the quality standards. Trauma Novitiate (talk) 19:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC) Moving my next comment here showing that I’m not voting twice, but pointing out that Auster is not considered to be a “niche” writer in Europe. He’s only unknown in the United States, where he was born and lived most of his life. Auster’s influence and popularity is mostly in Europe, where he is actually revered. Keep in mind that the day-after-death (dad) on April 30 the following facts from May 01 happened:
    1. Paul Auster Wikipedia (WP) page receives 137,000 pageviews the day after death (dad) on this site (English WP)
    2. 100+ Auster obituaries published around the world (dad)
    3. Auster’s RD featured on Main Page of German Wikipedia; French WP; Danish WP; Spanish WP; Dutch WP; Portuguese WP so far on the (dad)
    4. Paul Auster’s picture is featured on the Main Page of the French, Danish, and Spanish Wikipedia sites so far on the (dad)

    7. +82,000 pageviews on Spanish WP dad[3]
    8. +9,000 pageviews on Portuguese WP dad[4]

    Anyhow, I hope we can at least get the Paul Auster article up to quality standards and y’all will consider a blurb or at least a picture. Thank you. Trauma Novitiate (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose RD on current quality. Those are some high ass quotes which are not appropriate for a start. Oppose blurb as no sign he was consider a great figure.. Having numerous works or having several awards is not meeting the high bar we expect for blurbs. Did his writing or films massively change either industry? I'm not seeing any indication of that. Masem (t) 19:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
      The New York Trilogy is one of my favorite series and even I'd Oppose blurb. He's extremely well-known in certain niches, but still not known to most who read contemporary fiction, let alone the general public. Sincerely, Dilettante 01:05, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose RD article has several issues. Oppose blurb not one of the leading figures in his field. PrinceofPunjabTALK 03:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose RD on quality, oppose blurb as he seems far too niche to be blurb-worthy. The Kip 03:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    Being featured as a RD on other Wikipedia languages doesn't mean we should consider him for a blurb. We don't decide what to feature on the mainpage based on pageviews. Also, please don't !vote twice, you can reply to your earlier comment instead to not give the impression that more people are supporting than what is actually the case. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 12:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    For what it's worth, I believe the last author death-blurbed was Milan Kundera who received about the same number of pageviews. Sincerely, Dilettante 14:55, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose Blurb: I've been reading his novels since The New York Trilogy. He has most certainly been one of our contemporary literary greats. But his influence has been merely respectable. As mentioned above, his work has been and remains very niche. 128.91.40.237 (talk) 15:13, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    We don't decide what to blurb based on pageviews. For example, actor Matthew Perry's page got nearly 10 million views two days after his death but we did not blurbed it. PrinceofPunjabTALK 03:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose Blurb - As noted above, we don't use page views (or postings on other wikis, or any other metric considerations) when deciding what to post. And while Auster was influential, I don't see him as being such a towering figure as to merit a blurb. Also, please note that Trauma Novitiate has effectively !voted twice.
