Cher

Cher (born May 20, 1946) is an American singer and actress. Dubbed the "Goddess of Pop", she gained fame in 1965 as part of the folk duo Sonny & Cher, early exponents of 1960s counterculture. She became a TV star in the 1970s, with The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour drawing more than 30 million viewers weekly, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 with narrative pop songs including "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" and "Half-Breed". Transitioning to film, she earned two Academy Awards nominations—for Silkwood (1983) and Moonstruck (1987), winning Best Actress for the latter—and received the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for Mask (1985). Her dance-pop comeback album Believe (1998) introduced the "Cher effect", a stylized use of Auto-Tune to distort vocals. Her 2002–2005 Farewell Tour grossed $250 million, the highest ever by a female artist at the time. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Cher is the only solo artist with Billboard number-one singles in each of seven decades. (Full article...)

    Rhina Aguirre

    Rhina Aguirre (20 May 1939 – 30 October 2021) was a Bolivian disability activist, politician, and sociologist. An opponent of the military dictatorships of the 1970s and 1980s, Aguirre was an early activist in the country's human rights movement. Exiled to Ecuador by the regime of Luis García Meza, she collaborated with Leonidas Proaño's indigenous ministry and worked closely with the country's peasant and social organizations. Blinded in both eyes by toxoplasmosis, Aguirre took up the cause of disability rights, joining the Departmental Council for Disabled Persons upon her return to Bolivia. In 2009, she joined the Movement for Socialism and was elected to represent the department of Tarija in the Chamber of Senators, becoming the first blind person in Bolivian history to assume a parliamentary seat. This photograph of Aguirre was taken in 2014.

    From yesterday's featured article

    The red-capped parrot (Purpureicephalus spurius) is a species of broad-tailed parrot native to southwest Western Australia. Described by Heinrich Kuhl in 1820, it is classified in its own genus owing to its distinctive elongated beak. Its closest relative is the mulga parrot. It is not easily confused with other parrot species; both adult sexes have a bright crimson crown, green-yellow cheeks, and a distinctive long bill. The wings, back, and long tail are dark green, and the underparts are purple-blue. Found in woodland and open savanna country, the red-capped parrot consumes seeds (particularly of eucalypts), flowers, berries, and occasionally insects. Nesting takes place in tree hollows. Although the red-capped parrot has been shot as a pest, and affected by land clearing, the population is growing and the species is not threatened. In captivity, it has a reputation of being both anxious and difficult to breed. (Full article...)

    Black-crowned barwing

    The black-crowned barwing (Actinodura sodangorum) is a non-migratory bird from Mainland Southeast Asia in the family Leiothrichidae, the laughingthrushes. The species's first sighting was reported in April 1996 at Ngọc Linh, Vietnam, and it was formally described in 1999. The black-crowned barwing is the only bird in the genus Actinodura to have a black crown. It has transverse barring on the wings (wingbars) and a crest, which are characteristic of the genus. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, high-altitude shrubland, high-altitude grassland, and plantations. This black-crowned barwing was photographed in the Ngọc Linh Nature Reserve, Vietnam.

    From today's featured article

    Dracunculiasis, also called Guinea-worm disease, is a parasitic infection by the Guinea worm, Dracunculus medinensis. A person becomes infected by drinking water contaminated with Guinea-worm larvae, which penetrate the digestive tract and escape into the body. Around a year later, the adult female migrates to an exit site – usually the lower leg – and induces an intensely painful blister on the skin. Eventually, the blister bursts, creating a painful wound from which the worm gradually emerges. The wound remains painful throughout the worm's emergence, disabling the affected person for the three to ten weeks it takes the worm to emerge. There is no medication to treat or prevent dracunculiasis. Instead, the mainstay of treatment is the careful wrapping of the emerging worm around a small stick or gauze to encourage and speed up its exit. A disease of extreme poverty, there were 14 cases reported worldwide in 2023, as efforts continue to eradicate it. (Full article...)

    In the Loge

    In the Loge, also known as At the Opera, is an 1878 impressionist painting by the American artist Mary Cassatt. The oil-on-canvas painting displays a bourgeois woman in a loge at the opera house looking through her opera glasses, while a man in the background looks at her. The woman's costume and fan make clear her upper class status. Art historians see the painting as commentary on the role of gender, looking, and power in the social spaces of the nineteenth century. The painting is currently in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which also holds a preliminary drawing for the work.

    Pound in 1918

    Ezra Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972) was an American poet and critic, a major figure in the early modernist poetry movement, and a World War II collaborator in Fascist Italy. His works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and the epic poem The Cantos (c. 1917–1962). Pound helped shape the work of contemporaries such as H.D., Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and James Joyce. He moved to Italy in 1924, where he embraced Benito Mussolini's Italian fascism and supported Adolf Hitler. During World War II, Pound recorded hundreds of radio propaganda broadcasts attacking the United States, praising the Holocaust in Italy, and urging American soldiers to surrender. In 1945 Pound was captured and ruled mentally unfit to stand trial. While incarcerated for over 12 years at a psychiatric hospital his The Pisan Cantos (1948) was awarded the Bollingen Prize for Poetry causing enormous controversy. Released, in 1958 he returned, unrepentant, to Italy, where he died. (Full article...)

    Entrance sign to Mojave National Preserve

    There are 21 protected areas of the United States designated as national preserves. They were established by an act of Congress to protect areas that have resources often associated with national parks but where certain natural resource-extractive activities such as hunting and mining may be permitted, provided their natural values are preserved. Eleven national preserves are co-managed with national parks or national monuments; because hunting is forbidden in those units, preserves provide a similar level of protection from development but allow hunting and in some cases grazing. National preserves are located in eleven states; Alaska is home to ten of them, including the largest, Noatak National Preserve. Their total area is 24,651,566 acres (99,761 km2), 86% of which is in Alaska. All national preserves except Tallgrass Prairie permit hunting in accordance with local regulations. (Full list...)

    "Chinese character" written in traditional (left) and simplified (right) forms

    Chinese characters are logographs used to write the Chinese languages and others from regions influenced by Chinese culture. Over more than three millennia, the function, style, and means of writing characters have changed greatly. Unlike letters in alphabets that directly reflect the sounds of speech, Chinese characters generally represent morphemes—the units of meaning in a language—often encoding aspects of pronunciation as well as meaning. Writing all of a language's frequently used vocabulary requires 2000–3000 characters; as of 2024, nearly 100000 have been identified and included in The Unicode Standard. Characters are composed of strokes written in a fixed order. Historically, methods of writing characters include inscribing stone, bone, or bronze; brushing ink onto silk, bamboo, or paper; and printing with woodblocks or moveable type. More recent technologies using Chinese characters include telegraph codes and typewriters, as well as input methods and text encodings on computers. (Full article...)

    In the Rhine campaign of 1796, two First Coalition armies under the overall command of Archduke Charles of Austria defeated two French Republican armies in the last campaign of the War of the First Coalition, part of the French Revolutionary Wars. The French military intended to capture Vienna and force the Holy Roman Emperor to surrender. The French Army of Sambre and Meuse commanded by Jean-Baptiste Jourdan opposed the Austrian Army of the Lower Rhine in the north. The Army of the Rhine and Moselle, led by Jean Victor Marie Moreau, fought the Austrian Army of the Upper Rhine in the south. At the Battle of Amberg on 24 August and the Battle of Würzburg on 3 September, Charles defeated Jourdan's northern army. During the winter the Austrians forced Moreau's army back to France. Despite Charles's success in the Rhineland, Austria lost the war when the French Army of Italy, commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte, advanced on Vienna, resulting in the Peace of Campo Formio.

    Transportation during the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics constituted a major challenge for the organisers due to the scale of the event. Over €500 million was invested in improvements to transportation infrastructure for the games. A mobile app was developed to facilitate travel by offering a route calculator, and 5,000 agents were deployed at stations and bus stops to assist travellers. A goal of Paris 2024 was to halve the average carbon footprint of the London 2012 and Rio 2016 games. The organisers estimated that more than a third of the greenhouse gas emissions would be from the transport of athletes and spectators. All venues were made accessible by public transport and bicycle, with 415 kilometres (258 mi) of cycle paths created to link the venues and 27,000 bicycle racks installed. Public transport was extended and services increased. The goal was met, with an estimated 54.6% reduction, representing 1.59 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. (Full article...)

    The first UK Phantom on a test flight in 1968

    From 1968 to 1992, the United Kingdom used the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II as one of its principal combat aircraft. The Phantom was procured to serve in both the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and the Royal Air Force (RAF) in several different roles. Most Phantoms operated by the UK were built as a special batch containing a significant amount of British technology. Two variants were initially built: the F-4K was a carrier-based air-defence interceptor for the Fleet Air Arm, while the F-4M was initially used by the RAF for tactical strike and reconnaissance, before transitioning to an air defence role in the 1970s. In the mid-1980s, a third Phantom variant was obtained when fifteen former US Navy F-4J aircraft were purchased to augment the UK's air defences. Although the Fleet Air Arm ceased using the Phantom in 1978, the RAF retained it until 1992, when it was withdrawn as part of a series of post-Cold War defence cuts. (Full article...)

    Beach on Nosy Komba

    Nosy Komba is a small volcanic island in Madagascar, situated between Nosy Be and the northwest coast of the main island. The lowlands of the island are divided between secondary forest and a patchwork of farmland and plantations (notably including shade-grown coffee), while the highlands are mainly scrubland, with a bamboo forest in the northern portions. Ampangorina is the main village and administrative center. The island attracts significant ecotourism, thanks in part to its black lemurs. During the early 1800s, the region was heavily settled by Sakalava refugees and their slaves fleeing the hegemony of the Merina. France gained control of the island in 1840 and converted it to a logistic center for the import of indentured servants. Although Nosy Komba hosts a traditionally protected forest and an arboretum established in the colonial era, protection for the latter is essentially unenforced, and illegal logging continues. Only small pockets of old-growth forest remain, in remote areas. (Full article...)

    Andrea Navagero

    Andrea Navagero (1483–1529) was a Venetian diplomat and writer. He entered the Great Council of Venice at the age of twenty, five years younger than was normal at the time. He edited manuscripts at the Aldine Press, garnering a reputation as a scholar and a highly skilled writer. In 1515, he was appointed the official historian of the Republic of Venice as well as the caretaker of a library containing the collection of the scholar Bessarion. Navagero was named the Venetian ambassador to Spain in 1523 and navigated the volatile diplomatic climate caused by the conflict between Charles V of Spain and Francis I of France. By the time Navagero arrived back in Venice in 1528, he had grown disillusioned with politics and wished to return to editing manuscripts and cultivating his prized gardens. Much to his dismay, he was appointed ambassador to France in January 1529. After traveling to meet with Francis I, he fell ill and died that May. (Full article...)

    Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

    Lego Indiana Jones logo
    Lego Indiana Jones logo

    Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a 2008 action-adventure game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts. Based on the Indiana Jones franchise and the eponymous Lego Indiana Jones toy line, it follows the events of the first three Indiana Jones films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade. The game includes local co-op mode gameplay as well as puzzle and platformer aspects, and 84 playable characters with a variety of special abilities. The game was announced in 2007. The design of puzzles was altered to fit the Indiana Jones franchise, but any mentions of Nazism from the franchise were removed. Lego Indiana Jones received generally favourable reviews from critics. Its gameplay, retelling of the films, and co-op mode were commended by reviewers, but had conflicting opinions about the second player's artificial intelligence and game mechanics. Reviewers also praised the game's graphics, environments, and soundtrack but disagreed on the sound effects. A sequel was released in 2009. (Full article...)

    Heartburn

    Photo illustrating heartburn
    Photo illustrating heartburn

    Heartburn is a burning sensation felt behind the breastbone. It is a symptom that is commonly linked to acid reflux and is often triggered by food, particularly fatty, sugary, spicy, chocolate, onions, citrus, and tomato-based products. Lying down, bending, lifting, and performing certain exercises can exacerbate heartburn. Causes include acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), damage to the esophageal lining, bile acid, mechanical stimulation to the esophagus, and esophageal hypersensitivity. Heartburn affects 25% of the population at least once a month. Endoscopy and esophageal pH monitoring can be used to evaluate heartburn. Some causes of heartburn, such as GERD, may be diagnosed based on symptoms alone. Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight and avoiding fatty foods, can improve heartburn. Over-the-counter alginates or antacids can help with mild or occasional heartburn. Heartburn treatment primarily involves H2 receptor antagonists and proton-pump inhibitors. (Full article...)

    George Washington

    George Washington

    George Washington was a Founding Father and the first president of the United States. Born in Virginia, he opposed the perceived oppression of the American colonists by the British Crown and was commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. After forced to retreat from New York City, he crossed the Delaware River and won the battles of Trenton and Princeton. Washington led a decisive victory at Yorktown, then served as president of the Constitutional Convention that drafted the U.S. Constitution. As U.S. president, he set precedents for the office of president, such as republicanism, a peaceful transition, and the two-term tradition. Washington owned many slaves but opposed the practice near the end of his life. His image is an icon of American culture and he has been extensively memorialized. In both popular and scholarly polls, he is consistently considered one of the greatest presidents in American history. (Full article...)

    Support, perfect for 4 of July. LittleJerry (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Support, sounds good, especially for the date chosen. ErnestKrause (talk) 00:22, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
    Note: 2026 is the 250th anniversary, while this is the 249th. Perhaps it would make more sense to re-run Liberty Bell this year, and save the first President's article for the 250th? Harizotoh9 (talk) 11:10, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
    • I have no preference for which article runs each year for 4th of July, Liberty Bell is a good choice, too. Z1720 (talk) 12:06, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
    Liberty Bell is more directly related to the events of July 1776, and Washington was not in Philadelphia then. It would seem more appropriate to run Liberty Bell for the 250th. In my eyes, anyway. Just speaking as an editor, July isn't my month to schedule.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
    • I've never participated in TFAR until now, so I won't vote in this discussion, but I also like the idea of saving George Washington for the semiquincentennial. While it's true that Washington was less directly involved with Independence Day, I believe that his unique status as a cultural icon makes it a good idea to highlight his article for a special anniversary. Another possibility is Bald eagle, which has not run as TFA since 2007. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 20:51, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

    Siege of Breteuil

    A Medieval depiction of a fortification being assaulted
    A Medieval depiction of a fortification being assaulted

    The siege of Breteuil was the investment of the Norman town of Breteuil, held by partisans of Charles II, King of Navarre, by French forces between April and about 20 August 1356. It was interrupted on 5 July when a small English army relieved and resupplied the town. The French king, John II, attempted to bring the English to battle, but they evaded him and the siege was renewed. The French attracted praise for the splendour and high status of many of the participants, but made little progress as the town was well-garrisoned and stocked with food for a year. Attempts to mine under the walls were to no avail. An August a large mobile siege tower was pushed up to the walls and an assault launched, but the tower was set on fire and the attack repulsed with many casualties. Taking Breteuil became a matter of prestige for John and he refused to take the army south to face a major English offensive. Eventually the garrison was given free passage and a huge bribe to persuade them to depart. (Full article...)

    Haasts Bluff, where Wintjiya was first involved in art

    Wintjiya Napaltjarri was an Indigenous artist from Australia's Western Desert region. Wintjiya's involvement in contemporary Indigenous Australian art began in 1994 at Haasts Bluff (pictured) when she participated in a group painting project and in the creation of batik fabrics. She was also a printmaker, using drypoint etching. Her paintings typically use an iconography that represents the eggs of the flying ant (waturnuma) and hair-string skirts (nyimparra). Her palette generally involves strong red or black against a white background. A finalist in the 2007 and 2008 National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards, Wintjiya's work is held in several of Australia's public collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria. Her work is also held in the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia. (Full article...)

    Edgar, King of England

    14th century depiction of Edgar

    Edgar c. 944  – 8 July 975) was King of the English from 959 until his death. Edgar mainly followed the political policies of his predecessors but made major changes in the religious sphere, with the English Benedictine Reform becoming a dominant religious and social force. Edgar's major administrative reform was the introduction of a standardised coinage, and he issued legislative codes concentrated on improving the enforcement of the law. After his death, the throne was disputed between the supporters of his two surviving sons; Edward the Martyr was chosen with the support of Dunstan, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Chroniclers presented Edgar's reign as a golden age when England was free from external attacks and internal disorder. Modern historians see Edgar's reign as the pinnacle of Anglo-Saxon culture but disagree about his political legacy, and some see the disorders following his death as a natural reaction to his overbearing control.

    The flag of Manitoba

    Manitoba is a province of Canada. Indigenous peoples have inhabited what is now Manitoba for thousands of years. In the early 17th century, English and French fur traders arrived and established settlements in the area. The Kingdom of England secured control of the region in 1673 and created Rupert's Land, which included present-day Manitoba, under the administration of the Hudson's Bay Company. Negotiations for the creation of the province of Manitoba commenced in 1869 but disagreements over the right to self-determination led to the Red River Rebellion. The resolution of the conflict and further negotiations led to Manitoba becoming the fifth province to join Canadian Confederation on 15 July 1870. Manitoba is Canada's fifth-most populous province. It has a widely varied landscape, including from arctic tundra and the Hudson Bay coastline, dense boreal forest, large freshwater lakes, and prairie grassland. Manitoba's capital and largest city is Winnipeg. (Full article...)

    Holden Calais V

    The Holden Commodore (VE) is a full-size car that marked the introduction of the fourth generation of the Holden Commodore—a series of automobiles produced by Australian carmaker Holden. Referred to as Holden's "billion dollar baby", the company invested over AU$1 billion in developing the car before production began on 13 July 2006; it made its public debut on 16 July. The VE marked Holden's first project designed entirely in Australia; previous generations relied on Opel-sourced platforms. The company produced several body styles of the VE, comprising a sedan, a ute and a station wagon dubbed the Sportwagon. Variants by Holden's performance vehicle partner, Holden Special Vehicles, were released soon after the sedan's debut. Over the VE's lifespan, Holden also introduced a series of changes, identified by the model year (MY). Often ranked as Australia's best-selling car throughout its lifecycle, the VE was discontinued in May 2013 and succeeded by the VF. (Full article...)

    Trinity (nuclear test)

    This is the archived discussion of the TFAR nomination for the article below. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests). Please do not modify this page.

    Trinity was the code name given to the nuclear test that saw the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. The code name was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, after a poem by John Donne. It was conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project on the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range in the Jornada del Muerto desert. The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. A base camp was constructed, and there were 425 people present on the weekend of the test. It used a Fat Man bomb of the same design as that detonated over Nagasaki. The complex Implosion-type nuclear weapon design required a major effort from the Los Alamos Laboratory, and testing was required to allay fears that it would not work. Its detonation (shown on video) produced the explosive power of about 20 kilotons of TNT (84 TJ). The test site is now part of the White Sands Missile Range. It was declared a National Historic Landmark district in 1965, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year. (Full article...)

    Liz Truss (born 1975) is a British politician who was prime minister from September to October 2022. A Liberal Democrat in youth, she defected to the Conservatives in 1996. After several bids for public office she was elected as an MP in 2010 and served continuously in government in the Cameron, May and Johnson ministries, latterly as foreign secretary. After Johnson resigned in July 2022 Truss stood in the election to replace him, defeating Rishi Sunak and becoming the leader of the party. Two days after her appointment as prime minister Queen Elizabeth II died, freezing government business for ten days during a national mourning period; after its conclusion Truss's ministry announced a mini-budget which was received badly by markets, the fallout from which subsequently engulfed her government. Facing a rapid loss of confidence in her leadership, Truss resigned fifty days into her premiership and was succeeded by Sunak, becoming the shortest-serving British prime minister.

    Dick Cresswell (27 July 1920 – 12 December 2006) was an officer and pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Born in Tasmania, he joined the RAAF in July 1938. He commanded No. 77 (Fighter) Squadron from April 1942 to August 1943, in Australia's North Western Area Campaign, flying against Japanese raiders. He claimed the squadron's first aerial victory—the first by an Australian over the mainland—in November 1942. He commanded No. 81 (Fighter) Wing from May 1944 to March 1945, and simultaneously No. 77 Squadron between September and December 1944. In September 1950, during the Korean War, Cresswell took command of No. 77 Squadron for the third time. He oversaw its conversion to Gloster Meteors, becoming the first RAAF commander of a jet squadron in war. His performance earned him the Commonwealth and US Distinguished Flying Crosses.

    Edward Drinker Cope

    Edward Drinker Cope (July 28, 1840 – April 12, 1897) was an American zoologist, paleontologist, comparative anatomist, herpetologist, and ichthyologist. Born to a Quaker family, he published his first scientific paper at age 19. He made regular trips to the American West, prospecting in the 1870s and 1880s. A feud between Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh led to an intense fossil-finding competition called the Bone Wars. Cope's financial fortunes soured after failed mining ventures in the 1880s, forcing him to sell much of his fossil collection. His contributions helped to define the field of American paleontology and wrote over 1,400 published papers, although rivals debated the accuracy of his rapidly published works. He discovered, described, and named more than 1,000 vertebrate species, including hundreds of fishes and dozens of dinosaurs. His proposal for the origin of mammalian molars is notable among his theoretical contributions. (Full article...)

    Bresci (c. 1890s)

    Gaetano Bresci (1869–1901) was an Italian anarchist who assassinated King Umberto I of Italy. He became an anarchist after experiencing exploitation in the workplace and later emigrated to the United States, where he joining the Italian immigrant anarchist movement in Paterson, New Jersey. News of the Bava Beccaris massacre motivated him to return to Italy to assassinate Umberto. Bresci killed the king on 29 July 1900, during Umberto's scheduled appearance in Monza, amid a sparse police presence. The government of Italy suspected that Bresci had been a part of a conspiracy but no evidence was found to indicate that others were involved. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and confined on Santo Stefano Island, where he was found dead of an apparent suicide the following year. After his death, Bresci became a martyr for the Italian left-wing. He inspired the American anarchist Leon Czolgosz to assassinate United States president William McKinley. (Full article...)

    Tiger

    The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a large cat and a member of the genus Panthera native to Asia. It is recognisable by its black, vertical stripes on orange fur. It is traditionally classified into nine subspecies, though some recognise only two subspecies. Tigers currently live in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and the Russian Far East/Northeast China. They mainly live in forested habitats, where they live a mostly solitary life. They are apex predators and prey mainly on ungulates. A male tiger mates with the multiple females within his home range. Females give birth to usually two or three cubs that stay with their mother for about two years. Tigers are considered to be endangered with their main threats being habitat destruction and fragmentation and poaching for fur and body parts. They are legally protected in all range countries. The tiger is among the most popular of the world's charismatic megafauna and has been featured in the ancient cultures of Asia and modern culture worldwide. (Full article...)

    Battle of Warsaw (1705)

    The Battle of Warsaw was fought on 31 July 1705 as part of a power struggle for the Polish–Lithuanian throne during the Great Northern War. Augustus II the Strong, elector of Saxony and king of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, was allied with Denmark–Norway and Russia against Stanisław Leszczyński, who had seized the Polish throne in 1704 with the support of the army of Charles XII of Sweden. The Polish nobility of the Sandomierz Confederation supported Augustus II and his allies, while the Warsaw Confederation supported Leszczyński and Sweden. Augustus II helped develop a grand strategy to crush the Swedish forces and restore himself to the Polish throne, sending an allied army of up to 10,000 cavalry under the command of Otto Arnold von Paykull towards Warsaw to interrupt the Polish parliament. A 2,000-strong Swedish cavalry contingent under the command of Carl Nieroth defeated Paykull's army on the plains west of Warsaw, and Leszczyński was crowned in early October. (Full article...)

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

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

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

    Timeline of Partygate

    Boris Johnson's 56th birthday party
    Boris Johnson's 56th birthday party

    Events of the UK's Partygate scandal began on 23 March 2020, when, in an effort to limit deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new rules prohibiting gatherings of people who were not in the same household. Despite these regulations, regular social gatherings continued to take place in Downing Street and Whitehall, including a surprise party for Johnson's 56th birthday on 19 June (pictured). News articles about these events began to appear in late 2021, with the majority of them published by the journalists Pippa Crerar and Paul Brand. Johnson denied any wrongdoing, and stated that the rules were followed at all times. In January 2022, a criminal investigation into the scandal was launched by the Metropolitan Police. As a result, 126 fixed penalty notices were issued, including one to Johnson for attending his surprise birthday party, making him the first serving prime minister to be found to have broken the law. Johnson subsequently resigned as prime minister on 7 July, and as a member of parliament the following year. (Full list...)

    I'd like to suggest that this be run on 20 June, which will be exactly five years (plus a day) since the event for which Johnson was sanctioned. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 14:28, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

    SZA

    American singer-songwriter SZA co-writes almost all of her songs with their respective producers. For many of them, she is the only lyricist. SZA's earliest works are built around psychedelic and lo-fi instrumentals, all of which were self-uploaded on the streaming platform SoundCloud. Her debut studio album, Ctrl (2017), is categorized mainly as contemporary R&B. SZA wanted to demonstrate her versatility beyond the genre with her second studio album SOS (2022), which features rap, rock, and pop songs. In 2024, SZA released the reissue of SOS titled Lana; it consists of new music alongside tracks scrapped from SOS. Outside of her albums and extended plays, SZA has appeared on dozens of songs by other musicians like Kendrick Lamar, Isaiah Rashad, and Doja Cat. Her unreleased music includes several album outtakes and scrapped verses, many of which have leaked online. (Full list...)

    Mid-credits and post-credits scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Mid-credits and post-credits scenes have been used in various Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media, since the beginning of the franchise with the 2008 film Iron Man. The use of such scenes as a whole has changed movie-goer expectations, and has received both praise and criticism. In some cases, MCU films have multiple mid-credits and post-credits scenes, while some excluded them entirely. In addition to such scenes attached to films, the MCU has had post-credit scenes in some television series, generally after the final episode of the series. As of Thunderbolts* (2025), the MCU has featured 86 post-credits scenes across 49 properties. (Full list...)

    I would suggest July 25, 2025. This would coincide with the theatrical release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. -- ZooBlazer 17:05, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

    Amusement rides on the National Register of Historic Places

    Amusement rides on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) are located throughout the United States. These individual ride listings consist mainly of carousels, but also include roller coasters, trains, and other ride types. Many NRHP-listed rides operate within amusement parks, with more than one present in Cedar Point, Lagoon, and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. There are also high concentrations in New York City, the Greater Binghamton area in New York state, and Portland, Oregon. The first NRHP amusement ride listing was added in 1975 for the Idora Park Merry-Go-Round (delisted in 1985). The listing for the Crescent Park Looff Carousel was added in 1976 and is the ride that has existed on the NRHP the longest. The listing for the Portland Zoo Railway Historic District was created in 2020 and is the newest ride entry on the NRHP. Several NRHP-listed rides, including the Leap-the-Dips roller coaster, have a higher National Historic Landmark status. Of the nearly 100,000 NRHP listings, fewer than 100 are for amusement rides. (Full list...)

    I suggest July 25, 2025, National Merry-Go-Round Day, since carousels make up the majority of NRHP-listed amusement rides (for details about the holiday, see: Carousel#United States). Jackdude101 talk cont 02:32, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

    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.

    This is the collapse of the Australian opposition coalition? I don't think it's of international importance for the front page. Secretlondon (talk) 11:23, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Oppose. This is a split among the defeated opposition. The Labor party still holds a majority in the House of Representatives and forms the government. Whether Labor's opposition is a Liberal-National coalition or separate Liberal and National parties is only of interest to domestic politics. Furthermore, the report you linked to quotes the National leader saying "the two parties could reunite before the next election", so this might be only a temporary split. Not significant enough for an ITN blurb. Modest Genius talk 11:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    Oppose, this is not a fall in any country's governing coalition. 675930s (talk) 11:42, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    Oppose on notability ITN tends to avoid matters which are significant in domestic politics, but not significant in terms of international effects. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 12:00, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    Oppose on notability and suggest close good faith nomination, but political parties' internal dramas are not INT-worthy. _-_Alsor (talk) 13:35, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Support on notability. With an eighty-year partnership, this is essentially as if a major party in a two-party system chose to split. If Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went and split the Democratic party and formed a new party, would we not post it? If Jeremy Corbin took half of Labour with him and formed a new party, would we not post it? It doesn't follow any precedents ITN has dealt with previously, but it is newsworthy. Now if the National party were to rejoin and leave again repeatedly over the next four years it would cease to be newsworthy, but at this point, as a novel thing, it is newsworthy. I would suggest bolding the Coalition (Australia) article once it has been appropriately updated, but I could see putting this news into the election article and bolding that instead. NorthernFalcon (talk) 15:20, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

    Per the article, they have been through splitsville before and they will likely be back if they don't want to divide the vote. Or like NZ sitting in coalition desptie diference parties (ACT obviously took National votes).Sportsnut24 (talk) 17:20, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

The coalition that won the most seats in the recent Portuguese election was only formed a few years ago, for instance.

    Nominator's comments: World's top competition in club volleyball. Not very widely covered in the anglophone world. Abcmaxx (talk) 14:27, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

    • I don't know much about professional volleyball, but Not very widely covered in the anglophone world. seems to be a good reason NOT to post. Natg 19 (talk) 16:43, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
      We are a global Wikipedia and the reason there aren't that many sources are for the same reasons there are not that many Italian sources covering AFL finals or Polish sources covering the Rugby Super League. Abcmaxx (talk) 21:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Oppose. Per WP:ITNR, we do post the top international competition in volleyball. I'm not seeing a good reason to post the European club tournament as well, especially if it gets little media coverage. Regardless, the article is in nothing like a postable condition - it's purely tables, with no prose at all. Please don't nominate items until after the article has been updated and brought to something approaching postable standard. Currently there's nothing for us to assess, whatever we might think about the significance. Modest Genius talk 17:20, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
      This is the top international competition in the sport. The only other top event, aside from the Olympics, is the World Cup but that's like comparing the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Champions League. Abcmaxx (talk) 21:08, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
      No, these are club sides, not national sides. The top international tournament in volleyball is the FIVB World Championship (men and women). Modest Genius talk 11:38, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
      @Modest Genius: This an international competition though, and a top one at that. Where do you think all those international players ply their day-to-day trade? If anything, club sides tend to be better than national sides as you can in theory have any player you want, but it's still comparing apples and oranges. Abcmaxx (talk) 12:18, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
      That's not what international sport means. This is a European club competition. Regardless, I don't see what your objection to my terminology has to do with whether we post this event or not. Modest Genius talk 12:52, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
      This is exactly what international sport means, Europe isn't a nation. Abcmaxx (talk) 20:11, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
      What about the FIVB Men's Volleyball Club World Championship? How can we be sure that is not the top competition for clubs? GreatCaesarsGhost 13:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
      Much less covered, less well established and less prestigious, similar to the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Champions League in football. Abcmaxx (talk) 13:56, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Oppose Not very widely covered in the anglophone world and lack of prose, just table after table. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:39, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    The quality issue should be addressed. Lack of anglophone sources, though, is a skill issue on our part, not a notability problem for the subject. This isn't the Wikipedia of Anglophones, and we should resist pressure for it to become so. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    This is the English-language Wikipedia, so our audience is comprised of people who can at least read the English language. That's not the same thing as the Anglosphere, but lack of coverage in English-language sources does suggest that this event isn't significant to our readers. Modest Genius talk 11:41, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    I would say it just means WP:BIAS. Volleyball is much more widely played and popular than gaelic football or lacrosse for example. Abcmaxx (talk) 12:21, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    I don't like that as a reason. Lots of things may not be common in the Anglophone media but are still important. I've no comment on volleyball fwiw. Secretlondon (talk) 16:01, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Support Not very widely covered in the anglophone world isn't a major reason for not posting this blurb. Anyways, it's still major international volleyball competition, and seems still worthly to be posted, regardless whether there's lack of source from English-speaking world or is the competition unknown from English-speaking people. 103.111.102.118 (talk) 21:28, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

    • I hate to be that guy, but the Wikipedia article pageviews for this tournament are pathetic. There are other volleyball tournaments that had more views (though those won't be posted anyway either). Maybe Europe is not the "home continent" of volleyball? Howard the Duck (talk) 20:24, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
      @Howard the Duck: Volleyball is hugely popular in continental Europe especially in Southern Europe and the Balkans. This final was top news in Poland and Italy. Granted, the final concerned teams from those countries, but out of the ~20 nations represented in the Champions League not a single club is from an English-speaking country. In fact not even the third tier 2024–25 CEV Challenge Cup has any competitors from England, Ireland or Malta. By way of comparison one of the most successful English clubs domestically is called Polonia London, so it's easy to draw conclusions about why page views are likely to higher on other wikis than enwiki. I would also add articles concerning volleyball aren't great compared to e.g. itwiki. Same as Rugby League articles are much better on enwiki than plwiki, for the exact same reasons but in reverse. Abcmaxx (talk) 10:13, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
      I guess my point is if you'd want to get a volleyball tournament posted here in the English Wikipedia ITN, find a volleyball tournament that's actually popular here in the English Wikipedia, as evidenced my pageviews that I've shared. The article is piss poor at showing me how many people watched the final; apparently, "more than 11,000 people" watched at the Atlas Arena, which has a capacity of 13,805. So probably not a sell out, but the final had a team from the home country. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:33, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
      @Howard the Duck: It was near capacity Atlas Arena in Łódź. Then again even domestic cup finals tend to be sold out or near sold out in Poland for volleyball. Finals tend to include the semi-finals the day before and 3rd place play-off so it's also seen as an all-weekend event similar to Formula 1, that's why it's hard to judge the attendance, there were a lot of Jastrzębski Węgiel fans in the crowd who would have been hoping it would have been their team in the final, and watched their team win the bronze few hours before. Abcmaxx (talk) 10:38, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
      Yeah I can understand on a technically neutral site final, you may not have a sold out arena, but for major sports these are usually sold out. In the 2024 EuroLeague Final Four, all four games had the maximum 13,578 people (although curiously the arena article specifies a larger number LOL). Howard the Duck (talk) 11:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
      All the tickets would have been sold out well in advance. Any empty seats, of which there would have been few singular ones dotted around, would be either from corporate not turning up or all-weekenders giving it a miss because their team didn't make it. Regardless attendance isn't the key factor here is it. Abcmaxx (talk) 11:36, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
      Isn't it for most events, no shows who had otherwise paid their tickets (either by themselves or a sponsor) are counted to have attended anyway? Attendance is a key factor, as it shows you the interest in the local populace at least, more so if we're determining posting at ITN. If people in that area didn't care =for it to be a sellout, then why should we? Howard the Duck (talk) 11:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

    • Not ready. As is unfortunately typical with golf nominations, the article is a mess. The 'criteria' section is an incomprehensible set of bullet points (largely unreferenced), the final round has no prose at all, the second round is unreferenced, the 'venue' section has only one source (for a statement about a completely different event in 2016!) etc. The article needs substantial improvement to bring it up to a postable standard. Modest Genius talk 14:29, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Comment - we rarely seem to post golf tournaments these days, for the reasons given above. The articles are always a mess quality-wise, and this one is no exception. The field needs to be reduced or split into a separate article (see 2024 Open Championship field for an example) and more prose added for the rounds.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    The field/qualifying criteria section is one of the most useful things about these articles. Wikipedia usually is the best resource for neatly listing the field and grouping each player into a qualifying category. For someone following the tournament and wondering "how did this guy get into the tournament", it generally displays the information better than the references supporting the material do. Spinning the section off into a separate article just makes readers have to tap through into another article.
    The main problem with these articles is that they are generally copy-pastes from a previous year's article so some of the content is supported by references that are out-of-date, and nobody cares enough to write prose summaries of the rounds. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 22:31, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    The qualification criteria may be of interest to experts on golf, but not a general audience. I don't object to that information being somewhere on Wikipedia if properly explained and presented, but at present it's a massive and unintelligible data dump that unbalances the article. Modest Genius talk 11:45, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
    Agree the qualification criteria is only useful to specific golf fans and not a wider audience. Because it's way too complex for an average reader to understand. This is an encyclopedia, not golf fandom. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:50, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

      See WP:ITNR; it "being ITNR" bypasses discussions for importance and instead discussion should be about article quality. The importance seems to not have been discussed here (as people assumed it is ITNR), but I suppose it's important enough for it to be viewed by a lot of people inspite of this not being posted at the Main Page as of yet. You can try tagging this as "Ready" to see if another person thinks if this is indeed ready. Howard the Duck (talk) 15:03, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

    Strong oppose Not comparable to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The Brooklyn Bridge is still standing and fully operational. This wouldn't be making headlines if it wasn't such a grandiose ship that did the colliding, and the worst has passed on this. The Cuauhtemoc still sails, it's a shame it had to be damaged.

    • Oppose No structural damage. ArionStar (talk) 16:45, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Oppose. This is an unusual event but it's effectively a traffic accident that killed several people. That's tragic but doesn't seem likely to have any wider or long-term implications. The bridge appears to have received very little damage; road and river traffic has resumed. I doubt this event would be getting so much press attention if it hadn't been filmed by multiple witnesses. If the article can be fleshed out it would make a good DYK item. Modest Genius talk 17:12, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

    Also good to note that Eastern Kentucky rarely gets these type of tornadoes (last I can recall being March 2012) so definitely a rare occurrence. EF5 19:12, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
    I suppose the mountainous terrain makes it hard for tornadoes to spawn (correct me if I am wrong). There are occasionally tornadoes, but they don't usually cause much damage, so I was extremely surprised when I heard about this one. Thank you for pointing that out.  Kentuckian |💬   19:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
    It seems weird to say "Eastern US" because most tornadoes were in the Midwest and South Yobatna (talk) 20:13, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
    what i mean by eastern us is the half thats in the east 2606:9400:98A0:92A0:843E:4BA2:3AE:9770 (talk) 23:57, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
    People don't interpret "Eastern United States" that way though. 'Midwest and South' would be a lot less confusing Yobatna (talk) 00:20, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
    I'm guessing that when you say "people" you mean Americans. I'm not American. I much prefer geographic precision in labelling over American slang terms for regions. I would interpret "Eastern United States" to mean the eastern half of that country. Remember that Wikipedia is global, not just for American readers. HiLo48 (talk) 01:08, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Support: lots of deaths. JayCubby 21:38, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Wait. Evaluation is still being done, and the outbreak sequence the article is about is still ongoing. SPC has continued activity at least through Monday. That all makes this a trick article to keep in posting shape. That said, the London Tornado alone makes this quite posting-worthy - I don't want to mention it in the same breath as Mayfield because that really was another level of tragedy, but it is true we haven't seen that level of fatalities from a single tornado since. DarkSide830 (talk) 05:29, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
      The Somerset tornado was given a preliminary rating of EF4 or EF3+ very close to what the Mayfield was rated, even though that one had higher kills. Shaneapickle (talk) 17:31, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
      Shaneapickle, the tornado is currently "EF2+" (article is inaccurate) and several tornadoes are usually rated EF4 each year. I wouldn't say this event rises close to the magnitude of December 10, 2021, but that's just me. — EF5 17:37, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Strong support as article creator. It's looking like this is the most impactful tornado event of the year so far, about on par with March 13-16 (which we posted, though that had a higher death toll also attributed to wildfires etc). The London, Kentucky tornado had a very high death toll of 19, the deadliest worldwide in four years, and the St. Louis tornado caused major damage in a very populated area. More tornadoes are being surveyed, and while the rating of some tornadoes may not be in, the fact is the death toll and objective devastation doesn't wait for NWS Jackson (which is functioning below grade due to Trump's DOGE)'s slow surveying work. More severe weather is occurring today but that has been split into a separate article. The article is also up to quality in my opinion. Departure– (talk) 14:08, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
      I think ALT4 is the least awkwardly worded blurb, so I'd support that alt over anything else. Departure– (talk) 14:53, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Strong support For Alt3 - Significant loss of life and property damage. CoatCheck (talk) 14:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
    Comment Per altblurb 3, I would support removing links to the locations, or leaving only one link targeting Kentucky. The linked article for the region is more of a geological look at the region than a geographical one. Departure– (talk) 14:44, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

      • I'd agree on including the House election results, but this is a bit more complicated. The Alyansa is mostly a Senate-only ticket or list. Its component parties contest the House and local elections separately. One of the analysis from the election is that the polls got it wrong when they said the Alyansa will win a clear majority of the contested Senate seats, but wht happened is they won exactly half of the seats contested, with the last seat being endorsed by a rival ticket. As for the blurb I don't know if we can fit the fact that Lakas is a component party of the Alyansa. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

    Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Wikipedia article are always presumed to be important enough to post (see this RFC and further discussion). Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article meets WP:ITNRD.

    Nominator's comments: Former Lampung deputy governor. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 11:59, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

    Support article is good to go. Sahaib (talk) 18:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
    Oppose no citation for date of birth. Also, the footnote for the entire early life and education section as well as the first two paragraphs of the career section is not actually to a 'biography', despite it being described as such. Rather, it is actually to an unusual "biodata" PDF whose origin and reliability seems unclear to me. In any event, the biodata form does not provide support for any of the many claims made. Needs work. FlipandFlopped ㋡ 23:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
    It's from a government website. Try to translate the title of the website before commenting on the origins or reliability. If that's your main concern, there are several articles that I could offer as a substitute; I'll fix it shortly. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 23:32, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
    Clearly, I read the source before commenting on it - I stand by what I said: it is unclear what context the biodata form comes from and it was being used as a source for claims not supported by it. The article has now been modified to remove the inappropriate citations to this source though, so I support. FlipandFlopped ㋡ 15:30, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Comment: Is there any information about what he accomplished as regent/deputy governor? The body of the article mostly describes a list of roles and election results, without much additional depth about what he accomplished in key roles. SpencerT•C 06:19, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
      Not much, I guess. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 05:10, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

    References

    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:
