- Neutral on importance: this does seem to be the biggest event in (long-track) speed skating outside the olympics, so an argument could well be made. More people are interested in speed skating than, for example, hurling. However, the article itself is nothing but a results table, of which half the results are missing, Strong oppose unless and until it's brought up to scratch. Modest Genius talk 22:50, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Speed skating is, in my opinion, one of those sports where even the World Championships pale in comparison to the Olympic Games, so I just can't get behind this as really being news in light of PrimeHunter's points. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 01:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- I disagree, and furthermore a large difference is that there is no allround at the Olympics, whereas allround really is the one championship that selects the overall best skater.sephia karta dimmi 11:15, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

- Strong support - The voting process is currently 1/3 complete and should be finished within the next two to five hours. We should prepare in advance a headline for both possible outcomes, so that we can get it up on ITN as soon as it is official. — C M B J 22:37, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sample headline:
- The 111th United States Congress votes 435-0 in favor of enacting the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
- The 111th United States Congress votes 0-435 against enacting the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
- — C M B J 22:50, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, so far they seemed to have managed to agree on how they're going to debate and vote... CMBJ's suggestions need tweaking for accuracy:
- The United States House of Representatives approves both the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, the main health care reform measures.
- The United States House of Representatives rejects the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in a 435–0 vote.

- Weak support - I still don't really understand how this works I admit. It seems that the House is going to pass their version of the bill and the Senate still have to reconcile their version to the House bill but the President is going to sign it into law even though there isn't even a single/unified version yet (so I'm not really sure what he's signing into law) but anyway if he's signing it into law I guess that's significant. Nil Einne (talk) 02:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- According to this source, the bill just passed by the House contains "the bulk of reform". A second, smaller bill will be voted on in the Senate, & because it is a "reconciliation" the vote can not be filibustered. (Yes, this process is ugly & not even us Yanks completely understand what's happening.) -- llywrch (talk) 03:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- The supplementary bill (HR4872) has just passed the House but will have to be revisited by the Senate later this week. This detail can always be added to the blurb after it is posted. — C M B J 03:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

- Comment: From an international point of view, I'd prefer to wait until the U.S. President actually signs the bill into official law. Getting it passed by the U.S. House of Representatives is only one part in a multi-step process. Not every country uses an American or Westminster system of government, and so the amount of significance would be foreign to those people. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- From what I understand, the House passed the Senate's version version, & Obama has pledged to sign it. (If he doesn't according to the Constitution it automatically becomes law in a matter of days.) This vote means, in few words, that 90% of the process is done; all that is left is the shouting. -- llywrch (talk) 03:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

- The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the core piece of legislature which has been passed by both legislative bodies. The Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 is a supplementary bill which has been passed by the House but not by the Senate. — C M B J 03:47, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support but per Zzyzx11, best to wait until it is signed. -SusanLesch (talk) 03:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm confused now. There doesn't appear to be any certainty that this has definitely happened or that it won't be blocked or undone or whatever applies. If he doesn't sign it it becomes law in "a matter of days"? So why not wait for these days to pass just to be certain? --candle•wicke 03:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- The bill has successfully passed both the House and Senate, and President Obama is currently giving a speech in support of the result. — C M B J 03:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment For clarification my point above about the President signing was solely related to if he was signing it, then there most be something to sign not suggesting we have to wait for him to sign. I don't personally know if we do have to wait, it's a basically a forgone conclusion in this case. As a counter example, I don't know if we usually wait for royal assent, although that's even more of a foregone conclusion. I still don't entirely understand the Senate thing, I read it only required a 51 vote majority a long time ago but it still seemed possible they'd ultimately never come to an agreement if they kept passing different versions but as I understand it now, they've mostly agreed what to pass and more importantly, the core part which is the same as the original Senate version is passed so worst case scenario, they have that which can't be taken back by either Congress individually (well they could both pass a bill to cancel the earlier bill I guess but that's different) and it's only awaiting the President's signature. The Senate could say screw you and refuse to pass the modifications in which case the House will be pissed I guess but they can't undo what they passed. Nil Einne (talk) 03:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Even if by some unforeseeable 1/1,000,000,000,000 chance Obama were to veto this bill, its passage alone would still be the most significant U.S. story since the 2008 election results. — C M B J 04:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Iceland volcano
- Hundreds of people have been evacuated and a state of emergency has been declared. It has been dormant for 200 years and last erupted in the 1820s so perhaps this is an important scientific event? I don't think volcanic eruptions have occurred as often as earthquakes recently. Reported internationally in Radio Netherlands Worldwide, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, CNN, Times Online, The Daily Telegraph. This time last March Mount Redoubt was posted simply because it "continues to erupt". --candle•wicke 11:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Support. I'm no volcanologist, but I'd say a volcano erupting for the first time in two centuries is pretty significant. HJ MitchellPenny for your thoughts? 20:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)- Hardly, that happens all the time.

- Oppose Volcanoes erupt on Iceland all the time. This one caused a bit of a stir because the authorities closed the main road from east to west because the contingency measures are developed for a worst case scenario. This event is on the opposite end of the scale. Noone even noticed the eruption until people saw the smoke rising after perhaps several hours. This event does have potential to become big if the neigbouring volcano

Is this some kind of golden age for new dinosaur species, or are we just featuring something that's pretty common and only of interest because it's a dinosaur? PS. For reasons I can't put my finger on, it seems weird to class this as a 'science' story. Yes, palaeontology is a science, but it's not like we have a quota to fill with dinosaurs, particle accelerators, interplanetary probes and cloning. Modest Geniustalk 22:30, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Pope to Publish pastoral letter on child abuse

Death of Girija Prasad Koirala
Death of the man who was the first directly elected prime minister, who served four times in that role in addition to acting president when the king was suspended. Brokered the end of the Nepalese Civil War and the transition into a full multi-party elected democratic republic after 240 years of monarchial rule. Washington Post, BBC News, NPR Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

- Obvious support. He was "worried about the country in the last days of his life and tried work out an agreement between the political parties" and (Xinhua) "while he was admitted to hospital, Koirala expressed his last wished of concluding ongoing peace process in Nepal" so sounds like he was still active. His body was presented for public viewing in Kathmandu and his death "marks the end of an era in not only Nepali but also sub-continental politics". Press TV calls him "the elder statesman of South Asia". India mourns. I bet he was Prime Minister/Head of State of Nepal longer than the average President of the United States or, maybe for a better comparison, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. --candle•wicke 04:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

ITN candidates for March 19
Death of Nigerian at Zürich Airport
Any support for an update here? Switzerland has halted all deportations and repatriation flights (which must affect possibly any country) and Nigeria has condemned the events. An investigation has been launched which must affect all who use this airport. He died on the airport tarmac which might be unusual enough as well? 13 witnesses allege "inhumane treatment" - "They dealt with us like animals. The shackled our feet, knees, hands, hips arms and torso and made us wear a helmet like those worn by boxers. It was simply impossible to move". --candle•wicke 02:40, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose: The Swiss were trying to enforce their law, somebody resisted (natural enough considering he was a convicted criminal), went on a hunger strike and died. The Nigerian condemnation is something they did because they have to, not because they were concerned for a man who was afraid of returning to them. The shackling part seems to be greatly exaggerated; somehow I find it very hard to believe that a man's "feet, knees, hands, hips, arms and torso" were all shackled, unless Switzerland has gone back to the medieval ages. ≈ Chamaltalk¤ 03:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose; and I can't really add anything but endorse Chamal N's commentary. A drug-dealer on a hunger strike isn't likely to be in great health. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 18:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Sierra Leone disaster hoax
Here is something which definitely doesn't happen every day. "The whole country is awash with grief for something that is not true at all". It was "picked up by international media. At one point, the French Foreign Ministry issued a statement in Paris offering its condolences to the mine accident victims". "This is wicked propaganda by people who don't like to see good news coming out of Sierra Leone". --candle•wicke 21:42, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Deutsche Börse Photography Prize
(BBC) French photographer Sophie Ristelhueber wins the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. Should this be included in ITNR? There are no photography awards and this one seems international enough if it could be expanded. --candle•wicke 21:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. I might consider it but both articles are simply far too short for ITN. Besides, the prize only covers Europe. --Tone 21:33, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- A photography category would be nice, but is this really the biggest prize? It's only open to Europeans for a start (though the Pulitzers are only open to those in the US, so that's not a complete impediment). Modest Geniustalk 17:19, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- The World Press Photo of the Year seems to make sense. It is hosted by the Dutch foundation World Press Photo and is part of the "largest and most prestigious annual press photography contest" (according to Wikipedia). "After the contest, the prizewinning photographs are assembled into a traveling exhibition that is visited by over a million people in 40 countries. A yearbook presenting all prizewinning entries is published annually in six languages". This seems to suggest international significance. If the winner could be updated every year would this be a good addition to ITNR for photography? --candle•wicke 20:12, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Nigeria recalls ambassador to Libya
(BBC). I have updated the article accordingly. The Nigerian ambassador has been withdrawn due to Colonel Gaddaffi urging Nigeria to split into two states (one Christian, one Muslim) in response to the recent violence. The Nigerian parliament has voted to ask the UN to stop Gaddaffi from requesting this and to ask the African Union to investigate if Libya is supplying "infiltrators" to destabilise Nigeria. Not a terribly exciting event but I am aware that we haven't had an update for a long time - Dumelow (talk) 11:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose: I had previously mentioned that ITN should not post ambassador recall news as they are too common. See Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/March_2010#ITN_candidates_for_March_11 for Sweden-Turkey relation nomination. I had mentioned that Every month one or the other country does so in the world. but looks like we have 2 such news this month itself. Lets not clutter ITN with one more "typical news" category. --GPPande 11:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

- Support: A national leader makes a serious comment against another nation's sovereignty, and they sever diplomatic ties. Only to be expected of course, but it is an internationally important event nevertheless, and this is about as close to hostile as you can get with another country without actually putting your military on stand-by.

ITN candidates for March 18
Sahil Saeed
- The Times The 5 year old boy kidnapped in Pakistan has returned home. In itself, I don't think this is worthy of ITN and it was, rightly imho, rejected when it was previously nominated. However, I think the back story of the major operation conducted by law enforcement agencies and militaries in four different countries (Pakistan, France, Spain and the UK) to arrest his captors is more significant in the long run. Apologies for the tl;dr! Any support? HJ Mitchell Penny for your thoughts? 22:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- We need an update, it's been 35 hours. I've looked at several papers, and the only stories I care for are this or two awarded George Cross. On a busier news day, I wouldn't be favourably disposed towards either, but it's been a slow week and we need something. Bangkok is becoming news, but I'm not sure what to make of it yet.
So... weak supportin the absence of anything more compelling, I guess. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 23:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Oppose; I see something I'd rather run now, so going my first instinct of opposition to this candidate.

French officer killed by ETA
Not sure about this one, but thought I would throw it out there. A French police officer was killed after a shoot-out with Basque terrorist group ETA members near Paris. It was the first French officer killed by ETA in their 40+ years. CNN, le Parisien, El Pais (France and Spain's largest newspapers). Grsz11 13:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. Seems a bit too local for me (and I'm fairly local for this story). For background, this is the first French police officer killed by ETA, but not even the first police officer killed by ETA in France (two Spanish plain-clothes policemen were killed about 18 moths ago near Bordeaux), nor the first time that ETA has fired upon French policemen (the Spanish press just say "several serious injuries" for interactions between the French police and ETA, I can think of two occasions in the last twelve months just off the top of my head). Terrorists do not become more dangerous just because they're in Europe! Physchim62(talk) 14:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per Physchim. While a good reminder that terrorists are close to home; the event doesn't quite have the significance I look for in ITN stories. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 20:26, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Bad luck for Goodluck
Nigeria's acting president, Goodluck Jonathan, has dissolved the country's cabinet (BBC). — Cargoking talk Happy St. Patrick's Day! 20:24, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support if there's an updated article. A dissolution of parliament in a pretty large nation seems to be pretty straightforward to me.--Johnsemlak (talk) 06:48, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- I believe the cabinet, not the National Assembly of Nigeria, was dissolved, which will not lead to elections. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 20:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I would hardly call this bad luck. This is just taking cabinet-reshuffles to the extreme. Many are saying this has been done so that Jonathan can gain more authority, since the cabinet he's turfed out was full of his predecessor's appointments. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't a significant move. HonouraryMix (talk) 12:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Tiger Woods returns to golf
Tiger Woods has announced that he will return to golf starting with the 2010 Masters Tournament. At face value, I do not think that Woods' merely announcing that we will play at the Masters is ITN worthy. However, Wood's ordeal and hiatus from golf (albeit a hiatus without missing a Major tournament) has been one of the top global sports stories this winter.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:50, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. That the world's best golfer decides to play golf wouldn't be a story except that he has also apparently been an asshole to his wife. I don't really think that storyline belongs on ITN. Dragons flight (talk) 19:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per Dragons flight. "#1 golfer announces he will play at first Major of season" isn't really ITN worthy. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 19:16, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

- I'll agree with Dragonsflight but disagree with Modest Genius's rational. Whatever the tabloidesque nature of this story, it has had a real impact on golf (though perhaps exaggerated in the press). If a politician were to step down due to a sex scandal I think we would post it if the politician was important enough and I don't see a difference here.--Johnsemlak (talk) 06:52, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

ITN candidates for March 12
Siberian tiger
- Eleven rare Siberian tigers—of which only 300 remain in the world—die of malnutrition after living in little cages and eating chicken bones at the Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Zoo in Liaoning. (BBC) (The Guardian) (The Sydney Morning Herald). 11 out of 300 is quite a loss. --candle•wicke 23:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- To quote one of your own references: 'Siberian tigers are one of the world's rarest species, with an estimated 300 left in the wild. Fifty of these are thought to be in China, but a further 5,000 are held captive on farms and wildlife parks across the country.' Modest Geniustalk 23:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Still quite rare. --candle•wicke 23:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Candlewicke, are you thinking of updating Siberian tiger, or starting a new article? Bradjamesbrown (talk) 00:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Still quite rare. --candle•wicke 23:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose The 11 tigers who died were in captivity. There are several hundred Siberian tigers in captivity in China alone. --Nosedown (talk) 01:00, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Israel
Has had all sorts of happenings all week but I can't remember the last time this topic was on ITN. Today alone the first missiles in more than a month have been sent into Gaza, the UN has commented and Israel has now sealed off the West Bank—"Israel has sealed off the West Bank ahead of major holidays in the past, but only rarely on other occasions". That and the announcements of thousands of new homes. Surely there is something in all of this for ITN? I don't know what the appropriate article is for all of these events. --candle•wicke 20:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think there has been anything truly newsworthy in months. I don't see why we should add something just because Israel hasn't been on itn in awhile, either. --PlasmaTwa2 20:55, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Is nothing here truly newsworthy? --candle•wicke 21:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think the condemnation from the U.S. administration is noteworthy; although it doesn't reflect a change in U.S. policy, the tenor of the comments hasn't been seen in a long time. That said, I don't know if it's an ITN-worthy entry. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 23:22, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure the US has condemned Israel in the past for settlements so this is nothing new. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.252.20 (talk) 02:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well, to quote the non-American BBC front page, this is "a rare and sharp rebuke from Washington". So if it has happened before it hasn't happened very often. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even telephoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called the behaviour of Israel "deeply negative" for US-Israeli relations. That and the comments from the United Nations and various other nations, i.e. Lebanon suggests this is hard to dismiss as "nothing new". --candle•wicke 02:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure the US has condemned Israel in the past for settlements so this is nothing new. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.252.20 (talk) 02:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

- Is nothing here truly newsworthy? --candle•wicke 21:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, come off it. The US, the UN and others have been playing the condemnation card for decades. Israel knows the US will do this. The US knows Israel will ignore it. Business as usual continues regardless. The Palestinians will continue armed resistance and the Israelis will continue to squeeze the Palestinians. Nothing new at all. Not news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.35.252.20 (talk) 03:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. I have to agree, this is business as usual. The conflict rumbles on, but I see no more reason to give it an ITN entry than, say, the latest developments in the Somali Civil War. If some major new event happens, sure, but at the moment the entry would be 'yet more condemnation of Israel, which proceeds to ignores it like every other time'.

2010 Winter Paralympics
The X Paralympic Winter Games competitions begin in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. (FOXBusiness) - Bib (talk) 19:00, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Article could use more paragraph prose. SpencerT♦Nominate! 03:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- It could indeed, but I'll obviously support when there's a little more prose. A nice paragraph about the opening ceremony might suffice. HJ Mitchell Penny for your thoughts? 15:40, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:ITNR. Modest Geniustalk 15:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- How can you oppose because it's not on /R? The vast majority of events we post aren't. HJ MitchellPenny for your thoughts? 16:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- True, but this is an obvious 'multi-sport event' which was apparently not considered important enough. Personally, I don't think there's enough interest to justify posting this. Modest Genius talk 19:05, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. There is "a lingering controversy", "criticism" and the "world" is going to be there. "Vancouver offers an excellent opportunity to see how the final Games before London goes about changing 'the look' of an Olympic city into a Paralympic one". --candle•wicke 16:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- support and add to ITNR. 2 stories for paralympics in every 4 years is really not a lot. considering its still a world event i fully support it. -- Ashish-g55 19:16, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

- How can you oppose because it's not on /R? The vast majority of events we post aren't. HJ MitchellPenny for your thoughts? 16:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

- Support posting after the opening ceremonies, and Candlewicke's adding to ITN/R. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 20:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support blurb about the opening ceremonies. However, like the Commonwealth and PanAm Games, I don't think we need a blurb on the closing ceremonies when it comes. --PlasmaTwa2 20:31, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Agree with Plasma that we don't need the closing ceremony as well (I'd rather keep just that for the big two). We should probably put the Summer Paralympics on ITNR as well - Dumelow (talk) 00:46, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Added a few minutes ago. Can Youth Olympic Games be added to ITNR as well? -- Zanimum (talk) 15:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- It seem I've been outvoted, which is fair enough. A few changes have been made to WP:ITNR, which suggest we will be posting the closing ceremony too. However, the discussion above does not appear to have reached this consensus. Do we need to amend ITNR, or did I miss something? Modest Geniustalk 17:02, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'd actually support posting the opening ceremonies for Singapore, but oppose adding it to ITN/R at the moment until we see how big of a deal it really will be going into Innsbruck. (As to the Paralympics, I don't see a consensus here for also posting the closing ceremonies.) Bradjamesbrown (talk) 22:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

ITN candidates for March 11
African Footballer of the Year
I saw this on the BBC's front page, the award has its own article and involves an entire continent, a continent which doesn't feature on ITN sport very often. The winner is Didier Drogba and he has a great selection of images. --candle•wicke 03:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose, since we don't usually feature individuals in team sports (with the odd exception of MVP awards at the same time as a major team trophy). IIRC, we never include the FIFA World Player of the Year, and doing one for every continent would be silly. Plus, it's not on WP:ITNR which has seen a lot of attempts to balance the amount of football coverage on ITN. Modest Genius talk 15:43, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Sweden–Turkey relations
Turkey has recalled its ambassador to Sweden and cancelled talks between the two nations next week in the latest twist in the row over the Armenian Genocide. Quote from Reuters: "Zergun Koruturk, Turkey's ambassador to Sweden, told Swedish television programme Aktuellt that the vote would have 'drastic effects' on bilateral relations which were unlikely to be overcome in a short time". I've updated this and it just needs support.
Suggest: Turkey recalls its ambassador to Sweden and cancels a bilateral summit after the Riksdag votes in favour of recognising the Armenian Genocide.
--candle•wicke 01:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. I don't think Swedish-Turkish relations are that newsworthy. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 02:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Why? The Armenian Genocide is about as sensitive as you can get. --candle•wicke 02:07, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but that's an issue in every Western country's dealings with Turkey. If my math is right, there are 37,056 potential bilateral country relationships in the world, and I don't think all of them are necessarily newsworthy unless they lead to war or something. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 23:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Why? The Armenian Genocide is about as sensitive as you can get. --candle•wicke 02:07, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Quite a significant international development (definitely newsworthy), and the article contains a substantial update. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. As Turkey seems to be coming to a head with the international community over the interpretation of the Armenian genocide (with Turkey being almost isolated in rejecting this term, I believe), this particular conflict is significant, and others may follow. I think we should present it. __meco (talk) 09:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Weak support. I was going to oppose, but the article is in good shape. HJ MitchellPenny for your thoughts? 09:52, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose : I don't think ambassador recall is ITN worthy. Every month one or the other country does so in the world. Lets add it to the article and that's all. --GPPande 17:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Recalling an ambassador pretty much means severing diplomatic ties with another country. The consequences of such an action will be faced by other countries as well, and can affect their relationships with the involved parties. Definitely not something that happens every month or so AFAIK, or this world would be in a pretty crappy state. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 17:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support this seems like a pretty big deal - especially as Turkey wants to be in the EU. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:55, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support Big news in Sweden. Aftonbladet describes it as a "diplomatic crisis". Several protests occurred in Turkey on Friday as well. Theleftorium 23:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I really don't think there are any major long-term implications of this. Sweden and Turkey do not share extensive strategic relations and Turkish leaders are engaging in political rhetoric. --Nosedown (talk) 00:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- But next week's talks were cancelled? If this is not important why would Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, Xinhua, The Times of India and so on, be interested in reporting about the protests? --candle•wicke 03:03, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Strong support I think this a major diplomatic development. --yousaf465' 09:33, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Is that enough support yet? --candle•wicke 19:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- The dispute over the Armenian genocide is a long one and Turkey has always engaged in political rhetoric whenever any country has tried to express an opinion on it. Recently, a U.S. Congress panel passed a similar opinion on Turkey's role in the genocide, Turkey protested and ultimately things were put in the back seat. Also, the Sweden's government has strongly opposed the parliament vote. It seems things will be back to normal. As I said before, these things do happen in international diplomacy a lot and in this case, there will not be any major long-term implications. --Nosedown (talk) 21:43, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Is that enough support yet? --candle•wicke 19:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. I think the point is that various national parliaments debate this topic quite regularly. Sweden's parliament is not the first to have passed such a motion, and it won't be the last. It is a sensitive topic on both sides, which is why tempers rise when it is debated, but it is hardly a defining feature of international relations. Physchim62 (talk) 00:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

The U.S. dollar is weak, so Slim gets in at the top: on the other hand, neither Slim nor Gates or Buffet could get the equivalent in cash for the assets they own.

In summary, (1) he is the first Mexican, (2) it is the first time it is someone from the "developing world", (3) it is the first time in more than 15 years that s/he is not from the United States. The last two are extremely unlikely to happen every year (and the last one is nearly as old as the world wide web itself) so it is not necessarily an argument for it to be included on ITNR as an annual event if posted, while this is apparently the most influential list as mentioned above. --candle•wicke 18:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

- Support. Although there are arguments to be made about the parameters used, I think it's significant that it's the first time that it's the first time in 15 years that it's a non American and more so because he's the first non-westerner to win it. However, if this is posted, can we find a way of not using "developing world" in the blurb? HJ MitchellPenny for your thoughts? 19:51, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

- Weak support - This is far better then last time we added Carlons Slim being the richest person in the world, where it didn't last long. I think the fact that we're having this same conversation again over 2.5 years later is a good indication that last time was a mistake Wikipedia talk:In the news/Archive 16#Richest person in the world. The advantage here is that the Forbes list tends to be the most notable list/source for this sort of thing. However we didn't have much luck with Warren Buffett and Forbes either Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/March 2008#Warren Buffett, who also didn't last long. However this has some additional details which perhaps help make it even more interesting and some may argue Buffett should have gone up earlier and stayed up Nil Einne (talk) 14:09, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Seems just like any other meeting where two state heads meet, host lavish buffets, have big press conferences, make promises and future plans. Last time we posted Indian Prime Minister's visit to Saudi Arabia because it happened after decades and two countries signed an important extradition treaty. The treaty was important because it helps India plug holes for terrorists hiding in gulf countries.

ITN candidates for March 8
Pakistan blast
- (BBC) At least 13 killed and over 60 injured in Lahore. HJ Mitchell Penny for your thoughts? 17:24, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. It resulted in the collapse of the building. --candle•wicke 22:02, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support as above. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 22:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Working on an article: 8 March 2010 Lahore bombing Not in love with that name, though. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 23:29, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose , I don't this needs to be posted on ITN. It was office of Special Investigation Agency, was bombed after all the VIP( very important prisoners) have been transfered to another facility about 400 km to the south. --yousaf465' 08:51, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose: I concur with Yousaf. Also, I thought there was a consensus that these types of attacks in Pakistan, Iraq & Afghanistan would only be considered for ITN if they had huge death tolls or they had some serious political intentions/events associated with them. I think this was another desperate attack from desperate organization as the Pak minister has said. --GPPande 09:00, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Death of Andrée Peel
- (BBC) WWII "heroine" dies at 105. HJ Mitchell Penny for your thoughts? 17:16, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose we did not post the death of the last Canadian veteran. I believe now, we should just wait for the last veteran period. --PlasmaTwa2 17:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Not to mention, she is nowhere close to being the last WWII vet. There were plenty of heroic acts in that war. Why single out just one person? --Smashvilletalk 17:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. Seems to be a somewhat significant figure in the resistance but the article isn't very well developed.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Fata lawmakers refuse body scanning in US, fly home
Another issue in Pak-USA ties. They are being hailed as hero here. :) --yousaf465' 04:39, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. "The lawmakers considered the scanning order an insult to the parliamentarians of a sovereign country and decided to call off their visit". Other lawmakers threatening to leave too. --candle•wicke 12:51, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Important principles clashing in this issue. Body scanners could become a watershed issue in the conflict between civil rights/privacy intrusion vs. the "War on Terror". This incident certainly could trigger even louder opposition to these measures. __meco (talk) 12:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support as above. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 13:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- CommentEither create separate article for this tour or we can use the Millimeter wave scanner/ Security scan(this one has some issue not the previous one. I think Millimeter wave scanner is better, as this technology is being at U.S airports , or else is it this one Backscatter X-ray ?--yousaf465' 14:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
SupportNeutral until suitable article update. I think we should avoid speculating how significant this issue might become and concentrate on what is significant now.--Johnsemlak (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment , Which article should be updated ? Their action are being backed by oppositions MP, but official version is " Body scanning of people from a group is discriminatory and this issue has been raised in several meeting with US officials." --yousaf465' 16:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Here is one more link Pak lawmakers refuse body scan, cut short visit to US.--yousaf465' 17:02, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Here is a detailed analyses, Lawmakers’ tiff reveals complex US-Pakistan ties.--yousaf465' 09:49, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

2010 Turkey earthquake
- Update - 41 death toll - TouLouse (talk) 08:30, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

- Support. BBC is now reporting 51 dead. Physchim62(talk) 10:22, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

An earthquake in Turkey's Elâzığ Province kills more than 50 people and injures at least 100.
--candle•wicke 11:50, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I've expanded this. Death toll still increasing. Villages destroyed. 20+ aftershocks.

- Posting. --Tone 12:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Eh, it isn't showing up more than half an hour later and it isn't in the page history. --candle•wicke 12:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I went ahead and reposted because it's not in the history for me, either. Also, I changed the injuries to "at least 50" because it appears that all of the sources have lowered that total. --Smashvilletalk 14:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

ITN candidates for March 7
82nd Academy Awards
- Hurt Locker wins 6 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
- This item is a no brainer. Just waiting for the announcement of Best Picture. There shouldn't be mention of any other award in the item. --PlasmaTwa2 02:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- How about first female to win best director? Otherwise, The Hurt Locker it is with 6 oscars including best picture. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲτ¢ 04:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm all for it - I didn't know that there was the possibility of having the first female (or African-American) to win Best Director. I'm just not sure how to work it in. --PlasmaTwa2 05:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. First woman to win Best Director would be nice. -SusanLesch (talk) 05:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

- How about:
- The Hurt Locker wins 6 Academy Awards, including Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow (pictured), the first woman to win in that categpry.
- Although BP is usually the big category, in this case director is IMO the bigger story, and anyone who clicks any of the links will quickly learn about the BP win anyways, if they somehow don't already know. Random89 06:22, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- ...there's a picture, might need to be cropped though. Also, we could pipe Academy Awards to 82nd Academy Awards Random89 06:26, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Or how about:
- The Hurt Locker wins six Academy Awards including Best Picture and the first female Best Director, Kathryn Bigelow.
- PrimeHunter (talk) 06:39, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Suppport. First woman to win best director makes a nice blurb for International Women's Day. HJ Mitchell Penny for your thoughts? 08:41, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Posting. Indeed, a nice blurb for March 8 ;-) --Tone 08:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Death of Endurance Idahor
This happened in the middle of a football match and the game seems to have been ended as a result. (BBC) (The Times of India) (The New York Times) --candle•wicke 20:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- I want to support. - TouLouse (talk) 20:48, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Footballers dying on the pitch is a rare event. This seems a shocking event. HJ Mitchell Penny for your thoughts? 20:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Per HJ. It is rare for footballers to die in the middle of a match and Idahor was only 25. - JuneGloom07Talk? 21:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- I've had a go at updating the article. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 22:16, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. Most of the article prose is about how he died. And I believe this is a sad story and certainly not an ITN-type story. --Tone 21:55, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support, A really sad and rare incident. I think previously also a footballer died on field. My brother listens to this song again and again I don't know why, death on football field--yousaf465' 04:30, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose The article is thin and one dimensional, not likely (given the event) to get expanded much. RxS (talk) 05:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think deaths during sporting events are more common than one might think. For example, high school soccer leads to 1.6 deaths per year in the U.S. (http://www.sportssafety.org/sports-injury-facts/). The question is whether this death occurred at a high enough level to be newsworthy and not just tragic. I can't claim to be an expert on African soccer, but judging from Google News it doesn't look like this has drawn too much attention except for a short Reuters article that's been picked up in a few publications. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 05:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- My understanding from the article is he is a Nigerian Premier League footballer - "the highest level of domestic Nigerian football". He played for Sudanese club Al-Merreikh which seems to be an important club. If you were to take the view of English speaking countries having more importance (a view I don't necessarily agree with), English is the official language of Nigeria, a country with a population of more than 150 million, "the eighth most populous country in the world, and the most populous country in the world in which the majority of the population is 'black' [...] one of the fastest growing in the world [...] the hegemon in West Africa". Not a lot of that has to do with the nomination but it shows that Nigeria is not a small country, has significant importance internationally and a large population which this event will affect as no doubt it would in England if an important league or popular sport experienced the same. This seems to be forgotten sometimes. Is Google News the best way to judge this? --candle•wicke 10:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with Nigeria. I would not support if it happened in an European country either. A relevant comparison was Nodar Kumaritashvili - a top sport event (Olympics) and several consequences (criticism of security and improvements in this regard). --Tone 15:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose. This is not ITN calibre news. I think that for the death of an athlete during competition to qualify for placement there should be some amplifying circumstance making the event spectacular. __meco (talk) 10:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. As tragic as it is, athletes who meet WP:ATHLETE do actually die in competition on occasion. While certainly not a regular occurrence, to cite a previous example, we didn't post Alexei Cherepanov when he died in the middle of a KHL game, despite that being the premier hockey league in Russia. --Smashvilletalk 14:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. I'm afraid that ultimately my objection is pretty much that the Nigerian Football League is not notable enough, while the English Premier League, for example, is. I suppose it's justifiable on the grounds that a death in the EPL would be reported world-wide and quite probably would have been seen live world-wide.--Johnsemlak (talk) 15:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

- Now 2010 Victorian storms. When is this going to be posted? --candle•wicke 11:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose...lot's of unreferenced claims about damage and disruption in the article. I'd change my mind if that link further up supported that it's never happened before. I can't find it...maybe I'm missing something. Big thunderstorm but in the end no serious injuries or fatalities and there doesn't seem to be any real serious structural damage. RxS (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose This isn't big enough, no significant damage or casualties. __meco (talk) 16:48, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

- I also would suggest adding a subject, even if that means completely rewording the blurb. It sounds to me like some possessed machetes just went on a killing spree. -- tariqabjotu 22:04, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I think for a heist to make it on ITN it must be perpetrated by spectacularly glorious bastards, something inspired by Robin Hood perhaps. __meco (talk) 17:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

British boy kidnapped in Pakistan
A major news at the moment which created the widespread media coverage of the abducted Sahil. --Saki talk 10:56, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose, I agree with Meco. not very unusual thing.--yousaf465' 15:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

ITN candidates for March 6
Hosni Mubarak gallbladder surgery while on state trip to Germany
The following line caught my eye and I think it is important: "The decree temporarily handing power to the prime minister was unusual as the health of Mubarak, who has ruled Egypt since 1981 and who turns 82 this year, is usually a taboo subject in Egypt". A sudden change of ladder after a long time. --candle•wicke 15:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose, since this is almost certainly a very short-term temporary measure. Modest Genius talk 23:01, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose If memory serves, Bush made Cheney acting president of the U.S. twice for surgeries. Neither constitutes a change in head of state- or expectation that the temp. replacement will be making hard decisions; rather it is an emergency matter- so everyone knows who is in charge if everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 23:15, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- But surely being in charge since 1981 in a country where your health is usually a taboo subject isn't comparable to anything in the United States? --candle•wicke 23:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- You're right; it was just the closest parallel I could think of without spending an hour trawling through the archives. If this had happend in Egypt, there's a good chance we'd never have heard of it. But we did, and the surgery was successful. Non-event, except it might loosen the taboo against speaking of Mubarak's health. (My point was more that since the shooting of Reagan, it's usual practice around the world to hand power off for the duration of surgery, to prevent anyone else being in Haig's position from 1981.) Bradjamesbrown (talk) 00:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- But surely being in charge since 1981 in a country where your health is usually a taboo subject isn't comparable to anything in the United States? --candle•wicke 23:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Only if he suddenly kicks the bucket during the operation, or the illness keeps him away from his duties for the long-term (like the example recently with Nigeria), would I support. HonouraryMix (talk) 23:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

US accepts Pakistan as a declared nuclear state
--Saki talk 12:38, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest, unless Pakistan becomes part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty I don't think this is that notable. The article states that the action has been taken to alleviate the conspiracy theories that suggested the US was plotting to seize Pakistan's nuclear weapons. In other words it is simply a re-assurance that the US sees Pakistan as a safe nuclear state --Daviessimo (talk) 12:56, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose: Everybody knows Pakistan has nuclear weapons in their arsenal. It makes very little difference whether the US recognizes that fact or not, IMO. If Pakistan was declaring or it was confirmed that they have nuclear weapons for the first time, that would be a notable event, but not this. ≈ Chamaltalk¤ 13:04, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

2010 Pentagon shooting
- Oppose for now. This seems to me like an ordinary enough US shooting - gunman shoots two people and hurts them, gets shot dead himself. --candle•wicke 15:01, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose Seems like a lone gunman, like other lone gunmen who commit crimes frequently. Only thing that makes this notable is the fact it took place at the Pentagon, but since he doesn't seem to be acting as a part of some grander scheme, I don't think it notable enough for the front page.

Icesave referendum
The Icelanders are having a referendum on whether to pay back billions of pounds of compensation to the Netherlands and UK after the collapse of the Icesave scheme last year. Ultimately it is a referendum on one payment plan and a 'no' vote means back to the drawing board (something that they have started already), but how often do the citizens of a country vote on something like this --Daviessimo (talk) 09:24, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- From FE:"Iceland will hold a referendum to approve or reject the repayment of a €3.8 billion loan from the governments of the UK and the Netherlands.

- Comment - I don't want to get anything wrong, so will someone who is more knowledgeable about this suggest a blurb? —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 21:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Posted Sorry, I already added one. It's a fairly long blurb, but I felt like it included all of the elements and nothing else. I feel it's important to say who confirmed this -- "panel of 41 scientists" -- and, to add importance to this panel, from where -- "from the ... Lunar and Planetary Science Conference". It might need to be said that this conference is not a one-time thing, so I added "this year's ... conference". Then mentioning the name of the extinction event -- "K-T extinction event" -- and of course what they believe it was caused by -- "an asteroid impact". The BBC article on this issue says they concluded it was either a comet or an asteroid, but it seems most others just say "asteroid". I'm not sure if they're just being lazy, but I went with asteroid. I suppose we could omit the part about the dinosaurs -- people can click on the K-T extinction event article -- but I feel like having that instant recognition of the event is better. If anything we can just say that the panel confirmed that "the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs was caused by...", but that really isn't much shorter. There are some artist's impressions of the asteroid impact if we get desperate, but I don't think people need an illustration of what an asteroid hitting the Earth might look like, so I think the current picture is better. -- tariqabjotu 21:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- I was going to post it after someone suggested a blurb, so no problem at all. I like the blurb; it has to be long so that (a) all the relevant information is there and (b) there is enough context for readers. —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 21:52, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

ITN candidates for March 3
1st direct flight to Bangalore launched
This is the "first not-stop flight from Chengdu to India, and is also the first flight from China to India's "Silicon Valley" Bangalore [...] According to marketing staff of Air China, the route is likely to attract passengers from Southeast Asia as the Bangalore-Japan and the Bangalore-South Korea routes have not yet been opened". --candle•wicke 17:48, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Death of Keith Alexander
I've never heard of him before now but was watching the video from the link I found on the BBC's home page and it said he was "the first black manager in Britain to get a permanent appointment". The death seems very sudden and unexpected (he was managing his team on the very night of his death) and just collapsed when he went home hours later. He was 53 so not an old man. I've never heard of a sports manager just dying while in their job (it must've happened but I'm not sure if its very common at all). USA Today (international coverage?) says he was "one of the few black managers in English football" as well. --candle•wicke 15:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oh and USA Today also says "The Football Association announced that England's players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect in Wednesday's friendly against Egypt at Wembley Stadium" if that is any help at all. --candle•wicke 16:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support - TouLouse (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

- Her Majesty-long may she reign- is head of state of sixteen countries. Comparing her to a mid-level football manager isn't anywhere near to a fair analogy. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- First of all, God save Her Majesty, long may She reign. Second, I oppose posting this death because the gentleman's death, while tragic, has not had anything like the effect I'd like to see for ITN. A better comparison than Her Majesty might be Sir Alex Ferguson of whom I'm sure everybody has heard whether they like football or not and, unfortunately, it seems Fergy is miles above this gent in terms of notability and, for a sports coach, I'd say that would be my interpretation of "very important figure in their field of expertise".

Death of Michael Foot
- Former Labour Party leader Michael Foot has died aged 96. BBC --AdamSommerton (talk) 12:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Being a Labour member, I'm an admirer of Foot, even if he was too left-wing for my beliefs sometimes. Having said all this, I have to take a step back and see that, although he was a big figure in British politics in the late 70s and early 80s, he was still only a party leader who didn't win power. Considering his lack of high position, and the fact his death is not unexpected considering he's 96, I have to oppose. HonouraryMix (talk) 13:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment - I don't think age can really be used as a criterion against inclusion in this case because we have in the past set a precedent of listing politicians deaths, irrelevant of age. Two recent examples are Jyoti Basu (95 yrs old) and Alexander Haig (85 yrs old). --Daviessimo (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Both the leaders, you mentioned, had left profound impact on their country. More, Jyoti Basu's more than 2 decades of continuous communist rule (democratically elected) cannot be matched anywhere else in the world. --GPPande 14:32, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Actually I don't think that factoid is as notable as one might think. There are or have been democratically elected communist politicians in post-Soviet Russia, many quite long-serving.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Exactly. They were judged not on age, but on other merits. I am simply saying this should be extended to other deaths. Simply stating 'oh he's 96, so this death isn't notable' cannot be seen as a valid argument when in other instances age is overlooked. Irrelevant of age, any death should be judged primarily on a person's contribution to their field. I would personally question whether this death is notable enough, because the highest position he has held was leader of the opposition, but I would certainly never take a look at a persons age and use that as my argument --Daviessimo (talk) 14:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Since his achievements seem to have been relatively little for someone in his field I checked if this death had yet had any international significance. Having just checked Google News for coverage of this outside the UK I could only find RTÉ, forth, CNBC. I did this because one might expect any significant UK political death to get a lot of coverage in at least the US or Commonwealth but perhaps it is too early to tell at the moment.
Neutral for now until I or someone else can find something to give me a reason to support.--candle•wicke 15:22, 3 March 2010 (UTC)- Oppose. On the age matter, obviously dying of old age at 96 is enough to solely exclude him. It's really more important that he's out of politics. (by comparison, Ted Kennedy and Josi Basu were active politically at their times of death.) Again, it's not a sole reason to reject him, but I think it's a valid argument against posting this death, unless the deceased had an extremely notable career. I don't think this is the case.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Foot has gone international now. Long obituaries in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Hindu. See also: Malaysia Sun discuesses his importance to India, more on that in The Telegraph (Kolkata) and MyNews.in, more international mentions in the Irish Independent, The Irish Times and ABC News, Montreal Gazette, The Sydney Morning Herald. The Wall Street Journal seems to think he is "Notable & Quotable". Foot also apparently owed "a great debt" to Jews, according to The Jewish Chronicle. --candle•wicke 11:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Iraq suicide attack in Baqubah

- Support something is due to be posted too, and this seems fairly serious. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 23:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support if and only if that article expands. Working on it. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 00:16, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Needs more work, but I've done what I can. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 02:04, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Article actually looks pretty decent thanks largely to Bradjamesbrown's efforts. It doesn't have to be FA standards to go up on ITN and it'll probably attract more attention and further development while it's up. Besides, we haven't had an update in 34 hours.

Ukraine
- Ukraine's parliament has passed a motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's government. [40] Needs update but this is a big story. --Tone 13:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- From what little I've read, it looks like this means Yulia will have to resign. If she does resign, strong support. HonouraryMix (talk) 18:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Depends. If she resigns, do they have a new election? If so, we should wait for that. If not, this could be a story. In any case, 'looks like' she will resign isn't enough. Modest Geniustalk 18:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Confirmation. She has resigned, and from my understanding of Ukrainian politics a new election isn't held when the incumbent Prime Minister goes. Just up to a coalition of parties to come together in support of a new candidate, I think. With these developments, I reiterate my support. HonouraryMix (talk) 11:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. My feeling on this is that it is still the fallout from the presidential election. Tymoshenko has been forced out as Prime Minister because she lost the presidential election, that's it. Either a new Prime Minister will be found who can gain the confidence of parliament, or there will be legislative elections: in either case, we will have an ITN story when it happens. I don't think the fall of a government for what are essentially internal political reasons is sufficient for ITN: when we post falls of governments, it is usually because the reason behind the fall has a certain international impact. For examples, see the recent fall of the Dutch government over "Afghanistan" or the fall of the Icelandic government this time last year over the spectacular effects of the global financial crisis in that country.

Saboteur Oil Spill in Italy's longest river

I think we should wait and watch this news before rushing to post it.

--candle•wicke 15:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Somebody appears to have done that. Suggest:
- Oppose Several points about this nomination. First, this didn't happen recently. They lost the passports at some point (last year apparently), but they only acknowledged this recently. Next, I see news stories indicating this announcement goes as far back as February 26. This was nominated on March 1, and now it's March 3. The news story is a bit stale. Next, I don't know why the Pakistani passport article contains this information. That some embassy/high commission lost passports seems completely irrelevant to the topic of Pakistani passports. Further, the update is poor, not just in length, but in grammar. That certainly needs to be fixed. Lastly, this topic seems very, very poorly covered in the news. I literally find just three articles on Google News about this topic. Or is that because this isn't news? As I said, it sounds like they lost these passports awhile ago. -- tariqabjotu 17:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Not only three, but many newspapers covered this story (sources on article page). I agree that this did not happened recently however media still reporting on this incident as missing passport still counting. I think it should be on the main page now. Do not leave it behind to become a stale news. --Sakitalk 05:29, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Micheál Martin successfully enters Gaza
This was in the portal on February 25 but it seems nobody has noticed it. There's still time to include it, must be at least as important as India – Saudi Arabia relations which was posted earlier? It has been news everywhere from ArabNews to Press TV and if that isn't enough English-speaking there is also Irish Independent, RTÉ, The Irish Times, The Press Association. According to ArabNews, this is the "first ever visit to the Hamas-ruled enclave by a top Western government official" and he did so at the request of the United Nations. Other states, including Ireland have been refused entry before. I have updated the article Micheál Martin so just requires support. Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin visits Gaza on a one-day humanitarian mission.
