Charles Edward (1884–1954) was at various times a British prince, the last ruling duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in Germany, and a Nazi politician. Brought up in the United Kingdom, he was selected to succeed to the throne of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1899 because he was deemed young enough to be re-educated as a German. He married Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein and the couple had five children. Charles Edward was a conservative ruler with an interest in art and technology. During the First World War, he supported the German Empire but was deposed during the German Revolution. During the 1920s, Charles Edward became a moral and financial supporter of violent far-right paramilitary groups, joining the Nazi Party in 1933. He was given multiple positions, including leader of the German Red Cross, and acted as an unofficial diplomat. After the war, he was interned for a period and given a minor conviction by a denazification court, dying of cancer in 1954. ( Full article...)

Free and Candid Disquisitions is an anonymously published 1749 pamphlet written and compiled by John Jones, a Welsh clergyman of the Church of England. The work promoted a series of reforms to the church and the Book of Common Prayer that Jones hoped would allow the more Protestant and independent Dissenters to be reintegrated into the church. Jones's proposals included shortening the Sunday liturgies, removing Catholic ritual influences, and providing improved hymns and psalms. Several responding texts were written, both lauding and criticizing Jones's work. While the proposals were not accepted by the Church of England, Jones's suggested alterations to the prayer book and advocacy of privately published liturgies influenced several Dissenter liturgical texts and early editions of the American Episcopal Church's prayer book. The pamphlet remained a major influence on proposed liturgical changes in the Church of England until the 19th-century Tractarian movement. ( Full article...)

The Aston Martin Rapide is an executive sports saloon car that was produced by the British carmaker Aston Martin between 2010 and 2020. Development of the car commenced in 2005, and after about two months, a concept car, called the Rapide, was completed and displayed at the North American International Auto Show in 2006. In 2009, three years after the concept's unveiling, the production version debuted at the International Motor Show Germany. Official manufacture of the car began on 7 May 2010, at Magna Steyr's facility in Graz, Austria, but production was shifted to Gaydon, Warwickshire, in 2012 after Aston Martin received funding from the British government. Over its production run, the Rapide received two major updates, with the introduction of the Rapide S (pictured) in 2013 and the Rapide AMR in 2018. A battery electric version of the Rapide, called the Rapide E, was introduced in 2018 but Aston Martin announced in 2020 that it would not be series produced. ( Full article...)

Alice of Champagne ( c. 1193 – 1246) was the eldest daughter of Queen Isabella I of Jerusalem and Count Henry II of Champagne. In 1210, Alice married her stepbrother King Hugh I of Cyprus, receiving the County of Jaffa as dowry. After her husband's death in 1218, she assumed the regency for their infant son, King Henry I. Her attempts to bolster her claim to Champagne and Brie in France failed. Due to a debate with her uncle Philip of Ibelin, she left Cyprus in 1223. In exile, she married Bohemond, the heir apparent to the Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli, but their marriage was annulled. In 1229, she unsuccessfully laid claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem against the absent Conrad II. In 1240, she married Raoul of Nesle and the High Court of Jerusalem proclaimed them regents for Conrad in 1243, although their power was nominal. Raoul left the kingdom, and Alice, before the end of the year. Alice retained the regency until her death in 1246. ( Full article...)

Existence is the state of having being or reality. It is often contrasted with essence, since one can understand the essential features of something without knowing whether it exists. Ontology studies existence and differentiates between singular existence of individual entities and general existence of concepts or universals. Entities present in space and time have concrete existence, in contrast to abstract entities, like numbers and sets. Other distinctions are between possible, contingent, and necessary existence and between physical and mental existence. Some philosophers talk of degrees of existence but the more common view is that an entity either exists or not, with no intermediary states. It is controversial whether existence can be understood as a property of individual objects and, if so, whether there are nonexistent objects. The concept of existence has a long history and played a role in the ancient period in pre-Socratic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Daoist philosophy. ( Full article...)

Blackrocks Brewery is a craft brewery in Marquette, Michigan. Taking the name from a local landmark, former pharmaceutical salesmen David Manson and Andy Langlois opened Blackrocks in 2010. They originally brewed their products in the basement of a Victorian-style house (pictured), and the building's two other floors were used as a taproom. By 2013, persistent high demand for Blackrocks' beer led Manson and Langlois to expand their brewing capacity, including the purchase and conversion of a former Coca-Cola bottling plant. In the early 2020s, they expanded Blackrocks' taproom into an adjacent property, which doubled its available indoor area. Blackrocks produced 12,687 barrels of beer in 2023, up about 11 percent from the year prior, and they are the largest craft brewery in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Their most popular beer is 51K, an American IPA named for a local ski marathon. ( Full article...)

Albert Stanley, 1st Baron Ashfield (8 August 1874 – 4 November 1948), was the managing director and chairman of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL) from 1910 to 1933, and the chairman of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) from 1933 to 1947. At a young age, he held senior positions in the tramway systems of Detroit and New Jersey. In 1907 he was recruited by the UERL, where he integrated the company's management and used advertising and public relations to improve profits. As managing director of the UERL from 1910, he led the take-over of competing companies and operations to form Combine, an integrated transport operation. He was Member of Parliament for Ashton-under-Lyne from 1916 to 1920 and President of the Board of Trade between 1916 and 1919. He returned to the UERL and then chaired it and its successor the LPTB during the organisation's greatest period of expansion between the two world wars, making it an exemplar of the best form of public administration.

Sedum acre, commonly known as the biting stonecrop, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is native to Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia, and is naturalised in other places such as North America and New Zealand. It is a low-growing plant which is adapted for growth on thin dry soils, being found on terrain including dry grassland, beaches, drystone walls and roadside verges. The plant forms mat-like stands up to 12 centimetres (5 inches) tall. For most of the year the stems are short with dense leaf coverage, but during the flowering season in June and July, the stems lengthen and become erect. This S. acre plant with a length of 3.5 centimetres (1.4 inches) was photographed in Niitvälja, Estonia.

For the image, you can crop the original file to zoom in on the actual painting. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 03:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

The painting is within copyright. Showing it this way, with tourists taking photos of it and a small portion obscured, is at least defensibly not a derivative work.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 12:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Another possibility is at right, the other canvas. It's harder to tell what it is though.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 12:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh wow, I would have just assumed that a public work in the 50's commissioned by the CCP would be public domain by now. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 19:15, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

No, it's a URAA matter. Dong has now been dead 50 years and the copyright has expired in China, but that was not true on the URAA restoration date of 1 January 1996 for China. Therefore, the copyright in the US will not expire until 95 years after publication, which was probably sometime in the mid-1950s, depending on when they first printed it in a publication or reproduced it for sale.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 19:50, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

@ Joeyquism: Just noting that I am not the original FAC nominator. Instead, I often suggest articles at TFA to run on specific dates meaningful to the article. I'm fine with waiting if that is what the community wants. Z1720 ( talk) 20:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

• Reasons for nomination: 2nd anniversary of release. The album shares its release date with Midnights, which I expect to get the date next year, so that is why I am interested in getting it to run this year. It feels fair at a five-month gap from the last Trainor TFA and it is not feasible to space these out by a year.

• Support - Unfortunate that Red and this album have release anniversaries within 1 day of each other (albeit 10 years apart)! Still going to support as you're both the author and nominator, and of course on the basis that this is a great body of work. Decision of promotion will ultimately be at the discretion of the coordinators, but I thought it'd be worth it to back this regardless. joeyquism ( talk) 20:36, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Both running would be the best case scenario imo. I figured one of these would not stand a chance if only the other had a proper nomination.-- N Ø

• Oppose - 2nd Anniversary is nothing special, plus and there's already been two Megan Trainor albums on TFA already this year . Recent pop-culture articles are more likely to have a fanbase to make FA and to get them onto TFA versus older music which might be forgotten. That represents a systematic bias towards recent events and pop-culture, which we should be aware of and try to counter-act by balancing out recent pop-culture against the greater history of pop-culture. Albums should aim for 10th, 20th, 30th, etc anniversaries which also naturally help space articles out and balance them out more. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 06:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

• We allow articles to re-run after five years but albums should wait for 10 years to go on the main page for the first time...? There is something wrong with that and it seriously disincentivizes improvement of pop culture content. Should they just never re-run then? Are you going to oppose Pinkerton already scheduled in September, which literally already ran in 2011?-- N Ø 07:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

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)

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 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)

In Ukraine's easternmost Luhansk Oblast, there are 37 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 Luhansk, with a population of 463,097 people, while the least populous city was Almazna, with 5,061 people. Following the Donbas war in 2014, 25 of the oblast's cities were occupied by pro-Russian separatists. After the enactment of decommunization laws across the country, nine cities in separatist-occupied territory were de jure given new names in 2016 which were unrecognized by de facto pro-Russian officials in the cities. During the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have occupied all cities in the oblast since the end of the battle of Lysychansk in 2022. ( Full list...)

Also feel free to switch out the image with a better one if there are any (I tried searching before but its tough to find a good cityscape image of Luhansk or most of the oblast's cities). Dan the Animator 04:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

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...)

Supermassive Games is a British video game developer based in Guildford, Surrey. They have worked on over 20 games since 2008. Until 2018 Supermassive worked almost exclusively with PlayStation, first working on downloadable content for LittleBigPlanet. The studio published their first game, Big Match Striker, in September 2010. Supermassive worked on multiple games that utilised the PlayStation Move motion controller including Start the Party! and Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves, both of which were released in 2010. In 2015, the studio started to focus mostly on interactive drama survival horror video games, starting with their breakout title, Until Dawn, which won the BAFTA Games Award for Original Property in 2016. With the success of Until Dawn, the studio continued to expand the universe, releasing two spin-off titles; Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (2016) and The Inpatient (2018), for PlayStation VR. In August 2019, Supermassive released Man of Medan, the first game in the Dark Pictures Anthology. In 2022, The Quarry, the spiritual successor to Until Dawn, was released. Supermassive's next game, The Casting of Frank Stone, a game set in the Dead by Daylight universe, will be released on 3 September 2024. ( Full list...)

I'd suggest September 2, 2024 which is the day before their next games releases. -- Zoo Blazer 07:41, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

• Wait significant, but the actual trial will the event that gets coverage. Hold until then. This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang ( talk) 22:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

  There is no formal trial for these defendants, only a military commission. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 22:07, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

  Sentencing, sorry. This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang ( talk) 00:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose good story but no significant change for these men. They are already in custody and will remain so. Natg 19 ( talk) 22:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose Article is appropriately orange tagged and appears to need lots of work. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 22:41, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Conditional support The really notable thing here is their guilty plea removes the possibility of a death penalty (instead they will serve a life sentence) but also removes the possibility of a trial and the risk of the case being overturned due to 'invalid' evidence This has been in flux for years, and its an important development after a decade+ of legal drama. With that said, there could be a possible 'mini trial' and we could post then (likely next year). Or post now, but after improvements to the article (currently only contains a single sentence about the guilty plea and is not nearly ready for ITN). Schwinnspeed ( talk) 22:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose, the article isn't in good shape and this isn't notable Personisinsterest ( talk) 23:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Support, big news. this is the biggest development in this case that has been ongoing for more than 20 years. A guilty plea wasn't expected because there was talk of the government wanting to imprison them for life (or just sentence them to death). President Biden even denied a plea proposal just last September. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} ( talk) ( contribs) 01:36, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose This is really nothing, doesn't cap off anything since they've been incarcerated since. Article is also poor quality, far too much proseline and details and not really a narrative approach of a quality article. -- Masem ( t) 01:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose WTF? This event was 20 years ago. The first thing the article needs to explain is why this is happening at all right now. And a quick glance didn't answer that question for me. A simple explanation for us ignorant masses please, before I can support anything being posted. HiLo48 ( talk) 01:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

  @ HiLo48 - Various leaders of al-Qaeda and their associates have been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay since the early days of the Bush administration, on charges that they were the planners behind 9/11 alongside bin Laden. The U.S. government has brought up a criminal case against them and has purposely drawn it out so these terrorists have little to no chance of release. The death penalty or life in prison is what they were seeking, and there were also concerns that exculpatory evidence was being withheld. Today, indeed after 20+ years, a deal seems to have been reached where the terrorists have entered a guilty plea. It is the most significant movement in the case against the 9/11 terrorists in years. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} ( talk) ( contribs) 02:39, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

  User:That Coptic Guy Thanks for that explanation. I'd suggest that some of what you've written there needs to be right up front in the article this nomination is based on. This is a global encyclopaedia, and a lot of readers will be like me, quite unaware of that background information. HiLo48 ( talk) 03:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

• Comment — The linked article unquestionably needs more work. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 05:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

The article looks to be well sourced. It has a outdated tag, though I'm not sure this is really necessary. Gödel2200 ( talk) 17:05, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Support fairly notable Ion.want.uu ( talk) 18:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Support as per Ion.want.uu, news from Africa rarely reach western audiences, and debatabaly, it is just as significant as highly visible events, such as the recent assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. Article needs some more work, though. Viva Nicolás ( talk) 23:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Support, notable Personisinsterest ( talk) 23:47, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Oppose on quality, article still needs plenty of work. Among other issues, there is a tag that has been there for almost 10 years asking for an update on the massacre that the former president is responsible for. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} ( talk) ( contribs) 01:55, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose on quality per above. Will switch to support if/when it’s improved, a former head of state being convicted of crimes against humanity is notable enough. The Kip ^{( contribs)} 02:27, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose on Quality per above. Definitely something that should be posted if/when the page is brought up to scratch. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 04:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
• Support in principle but oppose on quality per above This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang ( talk) 04:31, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Support on notability as per above. -- MtPenguinMonster ( talk) 04:53, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

• Wait Lets get some more detail and flesh out the article. Right now we don't know much at all. It's also worth noting that today/tonight Israel is believed to have killed a senior military commander of Hezbollah in Beirut. Kind of reminds me of the last 10 minutes of The Godfather when all of the family's accounts are settled. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 03:59, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Zero need for a separate death article, unless the actual operation that took him down is well documented. Save for a couple of tags, the main bio article is ready to go. (And this is pending confirmation that seems up in the air right now. And to add once more, if true, clearly notable and ITN appropriate beyond the current ongoings) -- Masem ( t) 04:05, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Strong support Confirmed by Iranian sources, which are likely to be biased more towards Haniyeh and in favor of reporting him alive, but that is not the case. Apart from the legitimacy of this assassination, I strongly disagree with Masem in this regard and believe this should have a standalone article aswell as this marks the highest killing of a Hamas official/leader since the Israel-Hamas war started on October 7 and since the killing of Saleh al Arouri in January. Although it's very early right now to say anything about the killing, I believe as more time passes, more information will eventually be revealed as this is a huge event. Worst case scenario, if the killing is so poorly documented, I still believe it should have a standalone section in some article somewhere. Haniyeh has also held numerous positions other than just leading Hamas. TwistedAxe [contact] 04:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Unlike Killing of Osama bin Laden, where there is a great deal of discussion of the specific operation as well as the past attempts to kill him, all that is in the present article is 50% reaction material, 25% background, and the rest speculation as to the actual event. This is not how we write event articles, but we certainly can present the death as part of the biographical article. -- Masem ( t) 12:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

    Right, but I believe we’re still in the early stages and clearing the fog of war. If the dust settles and the assassination is still poorly documented, I’d say we put it under the Death section definitely. If, however, enough information is presented, I’d say we definitely keep the standalone article. TwistedAxe [contact] 14:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

    It's not unreasonable to have kept the details in both the bio article as well as at least one of the overarching ongoing articles about this Gaza conflict, particularly the latter because it provides the necessarily context of the larger picture. And then if extensive details of the actual Assassination emerge later then create the standalone. But this reverse way encourages bad splits as the potential of POV forks, as well as poor quality articles in trying to isolate the event from the larger picture without clearly knowing if that split makes sense. This type of approach is contrary to NOTNEWS and doesn't make for high quality ITN material that we are supposed to feature. Masem ( t) 14:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose on quality: Article still needs a lot more work in order to qualify for ITN. More information is also needed on the assassination. Support once all these issues have been addressed. Tofusaurus ( talk) 04:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Wait - article is still developing/too short, and fog of war is still very much in effect w/ regards to exactly what happened (airstrike vs “raid,” official claims of responsibility, etc). Pretty much all that’s clearly confirmed at this moment is that he was assassinated in the first place. The Kip ^{( contribs)} 04:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Strong support, per TwistedAxe. The article should be " Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh".-- Dr-Taher ( talk) 04:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Support ITN worthy, but wait until more reporting comes in, then we need to add the cause of death to the blurb because the current one is too short Afif Brika1 ( talk) 05:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose. Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh is just one small section of Ismail Haniyeh that was split out into its own stub for some reason. If this were fixed, then the main article would just need a little proseline clean up before it's ready. It's also developing a list of WP:INDISCRIMINATE trivia in the "responses" section as these articles often do, so that's another barrier. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 05:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

  +1 The NPOV disagreement is small AlexBobCharles ( talk) 14:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

• Post-posting conditional support - Disagree that NPOV issues warrant pulling, but agree with the above discussion that any blurb should specify he led the political bureau for clarity and accuracy. He was not the commander of the militant organization. The leader of the military wing, Mohammed Deif, is still alive. The average reader could plausibly assume "leader of Hamas" means the leader of the militant group, which is not accurate. An average reader might also assume that him being "the Hamas leader" meant he was the leader of the Gaza Strip, which is also an inaccurate reading as that person is Yahya Sinwar, who is also still alive. He was the highest ranking Hamas official killed in the war so far, but not important in the ways you might expect just based on his title. I do not support having it posted with the current blurb.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 19:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

This should probably be combined with the blurb below, but I think the protests are only becoming larger and larger, and are now international news. Article is making good progress. Libertad! PrecariousWorlds ( talk) 10:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Support: This would obviously be better than a blurb only about Maduro's win. Article is small but is expanding. Prodrummer619 ( talk) 10:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

• Support Perhaps reads more like a chronology, but well updated. And anecdotally, the BBC News report leads with the scale and severity of the protests, only saying "disputed re-election" as context - so I don’t think this needs to be combined with or wait for the election nom (below), it’s sufficiently standalone news. Kingsif ( talk) 12:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose I know that there are protests going on there, but just listing a bunch of events in a chronological order without anything else that indicates these are all tied together is not a quality article. -- Masem ( t) 12:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Comment Surely we would combine this blurb with the blurb for the election, so this nomination probably can just be replaced by adding an altblurb to the nom for the presidential election. Gödel2200 ( talk) 14:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Comment I have added an alt blurb. Unfortunately I am not (as of this comment) satisfied with the quality of the main article on the elections. But I do think the situation in Venezuela merits a blurb on the main page. The protest article is adequate for posting. I have included an unbolded link to the article on the elections. Hopefully it will continue to improve. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 15:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Comment Perhaps a combined blurb could be something like " Widespread protests erupt after Nicolas Maduro is declared the winner of Venezuela's contested (or "controversial") 2024 presidential election". PtolemyXV ( talk) 15:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Comment Added alt3. It can definitely be improved; death toll taken from the article, which could also be improved, especially after another day. Kingsif ( talk) 20:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Support National election results are noteworthy, and I think the quality of the article will continue to improve given the magnitude of the event. Royal Autumn Crest ( talk) 21:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose the blurbs as politically charged, we didn't say it like that for the Rwandan election, even though it is more likely to have had irregularities, judging from the results. Also, wait for the protests to unfold further as they clearly been planned well beforehand, and the article is also largely currently only one-sided. Viva Nicolás ( talk) 12:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
• Added alt4. There really is no need to append that the results are disputed - the protests themselves would indicate this. And I'm not sure the usage of "widespread" is needed here. But I do think this is to best, and works as a combined blurb. DarkSide830 ( talk) 14:59, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

    That's nonsense because numerous editors have supported the alt blurb as a standard signal to the reader that the election was not free and fair. So, we do regularly call out such sham elections in that way but it's too subtle -- we should be more direct rather than dropping hints.

• Wait The National Electoral Council (Venezuela) has been offline and/or has a DNS problem since at least the last day or so, although some archived snapshots e.g. 28 July are available. As of the 2010s and 2020s, the electoral results coordinated by any national election commission, except for the internet-poorest countries, are normally published in full detail on the commission's website. Whether the reason for the website non-availability is attacks such as DDOS or tech incompetence or a desire to hide the results, the fact is that by the current standards of a national election, the results in the sense of open data are not yet published. There is currently only a "believe-us" XXth century style "result" announced by the CNE so far. The heads of many American states, such as Gabriel Boric, are putting pressure on the CNE to get the full results published. Waiting for a more serious release of the full results would make sense.

Things could change fast depending on if/when the CNE publishes the full results or continues to refuse to publish them, so further updates might be needed. Boud ( talk) 01:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

That thing with words like "announced" or "declared" in dubious elections simply doesn't work, and I don't think our readers get the difference that a group of editors here wants to convey.

  Most readers don't click through to the article. The main page gets about 5 million views daily but the number of readers that click though ITN links is only about 10K -- a tiny fraction. So, most readers will glance at or skim the main page and will just see the headline and the grinning picture of the tyrant/dictator/president-for-life. So, we should make the headline plain and clear if we run one because that's all most readers will see. Andrew🐉( talk) 09:27, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

  The result is disputed; for example, see Venezuelan opposition says it has proof its candidate defeated President Maduro in disputed election. In such circumstances of claim and counter-claim, it's not our job to pick a winner. All we might say currently is that there is unrest following a disputed election. Andrew🐉( talk) 10:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

  I agree that the protests should be the main story now. My point was that the words "announced" or "declared" wouldn't make any difference. If we post that Maduro was "announced winner", we practically accept the announcement of the National Electoral Council, so we practically side with them and pick Maduro as winner. Note that the opposition rejects outright what the National Electoral Council announced as a result of the election.-- Kiril Simeonovski ( talk) 14:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Comment. Since the focus is now on protests, I suggest alternative blurb:

After disputed presidential elections, protests erupt in Venezuela. BilboBeggins ( talk) 12:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I spoke to a person who is voting against Maduro, a professional who studied psychology in San Francisco. She was hopeful for change. But what was very significant was that she thought that the electoral process is free and fair.

      "People are happy and welcoming tons of foreigners to look and see what they are doing and explain it patiently, with confidence and real enthusiasm for democracy. Actually, I think that one of the reasons that there is so much cynicism in the United States about democracy is that people don't trust the system.

    First of all, if anything, Wikipedia has a slight pro-left bias (like much of the internet). Second of all, it does not matter if they are a "leftist" news outlet. It matters if they are reliable or not. And the consensus on Wikipedia is that they are unreliable because they have been shown (with proof) to have routinely published fabricated information.

  May I ask who planned the protests? Because they occured suddenly, opposition figures didn't ask for protests, they asked only for verified ballots to make the result of election transparent, because they know what are consequences for them. BilboBeggins ( talk) 20:33, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

  Here it is:

  • • @Yvangil (July 29, 2024). "Venezuela strongly condemns the interventionist actions and statements of a group of right-wing governments, subservient to Washington and openly aligned with the most sordid ideological tenets of international fascism. These governments are attempting to revive the failed and defeated Lima Group in an effort to undermine the electoral results of the Presidential Elections held on Sunday, July 28, 2024. These elections resulted in the victory of Nicolás Maduro as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for a new Constitutional Term from 2025 to 2031" ( Tweet) – via Twitter.

  The defendant providing this statement is enough to cast doubt on that the protests weren't pre-planned from the outside. Viva Nicolás ( talk) 03:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Most of the photos that you mentioned were for political leaders where the nomination fell under ITNR (though the ones for Biden and Trump were not), so it is not at all surprising that they were featured. And all of them were for blurbs, so by virtue of them being blurbed, of course their picture will be featured.

Current official death toll is at 12 as of time of writing. Although the scale of this attack is dwarfed daily by IDF bombardments of Gaza, I propose that we cover this particular story because:

• It is the single deadliest attack on Israeli civilians since October 7. [8]
• It is the single deadliest spillover incident of the war since inception.
• The attack was carried out in the context of a conflict with Hezbollah, which would make it separate from the Israel-Gaza war itself.
• Attacks by other regional entities (Iran, the Houthis, and Hezbollah itself) have not previously resulted in this number of casualties during the conflict.
• The article is expanded, well-written, and of a suitable length, with no citation needed tags.

For the above reasons, I hereby nominate this entry.

  This is not some random accident like a landslide in the boondocks. It's multiple synchronised attacks targeting significant infrastructure of a major nation. It is thus comparable with the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines or the 9-11 attacks in the US. It seems to have been scheduled for the start of the Olympics but its impact goes beyond that as this is the start of the French holiday season when much of the country plans to travel. Andrew🐉( talk) 07:52, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

If you're referring to Ethiopia when you say "the boondocks", that doesn't make what's happening there insignificant Dyaquna ( talk) 15:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

The point is that the sabotage was not a "random thing" or Act of God. It was a coordinated attack in multiple locations.

• Support halting services for over 800K people feels quite notable to me. This is quite a large attack, regardless of the lack of casualties. I understand the Crowdstrike incident is on a way grander scale than this will ever be, but as it is still an event that caused a halting on travel systems, we didn't stop that from being posted from a lack of deaths or injuries. Captain Galaxy 23:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose I just skimmed a bit of the article and it was nowhere near ready as I immediately noticed several tense and grammatical errors. The article seems to be full of plans which may or may not have actually gone to schedule and it has no reaction or reception section to provide an assessment of what actually happened. Also, as noted below, the news coverage today has focussed on security and sabotage issues such as 2024 France railway arson attack and that seems more interesting. The appalling weather might warrant some attention though. For example,

  Unfortunate that the pre filmed parts of this ceremony were done on a bright, clear day. It is making the jumps from live to video sections jarring in person and presumably on TV too. Rain hammering down now. Worried about the athletes! Three hours of this on a roofless boat and some of them are sleeveless. Going to be a shame to cancel the 100m final because the field was decimated by an outbreak of the sniffles.

I'm still watching and was quite curious about the way they presented "Imagine". I find that we have a remarkably detailed article about piano burning and didn't realise that was a thing. Was that supposed to be the Olympic flame?

And now there's a ghostly horse rider. Curiouser and curiouser... Andrew🐉( talk) 18:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose I agree with Andrew that to post this without noting the arson attack just prior would be a problem. But that can be fixed in the blurb. However, the opening ceremony article is nowhere close for what we've seen in the past. If we are going to post that arson article, that also needs expansion. Finally, should the quality improvements delay posting the opening ceremony for some time, we still try to go ahead and post the Olympics to ongoing, along with Chronological summary of the 2024 Summer Olympics, but that latter article is mostly unsourced at this point, which is not good either. -- Masem ( t) 18:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

• Question What needs doing at 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony to make it post-able? Kingsif ( talk) 03:35, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

The orange tags need to get resolved. Many statements and sections are missing sources. Natg 19 ( talk) 03:44, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

It pains me to say but Oppose. It should be ready by now, but surprisingly isn't. PrinceofPunjab ^TALK 11:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

• Altblurb3 - let's not mention the Opening Ceremony then As it seems we won't be able to solve the issues with the opening ceremony article before this gets stale (and, let's face it, it's Monday now - the opening ceremony was on Friday), why not post just the Summer Olympics article itself? That one seems fine, as it's already featured on Ongoing. Khuft ( talk) 15:36, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Oppose, this should've been posted but its too late now Personisinsterest ( talk) 15:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Nominators often include links to external websites and other references in discussions on this page. It is usually best to provide such links using the inline URL syntax [http://example.com] rather than using <ref></ref> tags, because that keeps all the relevant information in the same place as the nomination without having to jump to this section, and facilitates the archiving process.

For the times when <ref></ref> tags are being used, here are their contents:
