Suggest: Impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol
[edit]Yeah, I know, don't suggest here per header - but the instructions on how to suggest stuff are arcane, there is no nice tool like for DYKs, so I don't feel like jumping through the hoops and doing this old-school for 5m. Anyway, this is big news in Korea, and on April 4 the local Supreme Court will rule on this. I just got an @ from my emabassy warning of expected mass protests and demonstrations. If the president is impeached, it would be newsworthy - keep an eye on that, and I hope someone will nominate this. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:52, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hasn't Kim been impeached already? If yes, what is this impending ruling about, then? Howard the Duck (talk) 10:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Also, willfully disobeying rules won't get this posted, at least according to your wishes lol. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- He has been impeached, and we posted about that in December, but it seems a decision on whether to actually remove him from office is due in two days. My suggestion would be that should that removal take place, we wait until his successor is known, presumably after an election, and then post the whole thing then. He's de facto out of office already anyway, so his formal removal wouldn't have any tangible effects on the ground. — Amakuru (talk) 10:41, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Following precedent from Impeachment of Park Geun-hye, the new president should take office within 60 days, and that Park's actual removal from office was posted at ITN, then the ensuing presidential election was also posted. We have posted several items from this crisis already, so would people here be fine with posting 2 South Korean blurbs in 2 months or just one? Howard the Duck (talk) 10:51, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Masaki Kashiwara
[edit]The Abel prize is ITN/R and only held up due to concerns that the article is too technical. After the article is improved and a few supports saying the article is now good enough, the discussion is deleted.
This is a setback for ITN topic diversity. 121.6.104.76 (talk) 22:12, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- The article was not updated before it was deemed stale (as it was nominated in the midst of several other stories). That It took that long to get to quality is why UT wasn't posted and has been archived. Masem (t) 22:27, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- The problem was article quality. If the Masaki Kashiwara article had been brought up to WP:ITNQUALITY, it would have been posted. There was almost a week between the announcement of the award and the ITN nomination being closed as stale - plenty of time to improve the article. In future, I recommend you put your effort into bring the article quality up rather than complaining about the nomination process. Modest Genius talk 11:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
2025 FSU shooting?
[edit]Should we add the 2025 Florida State University Shooting to ITN? It is a pretty big event in the news, after all. Malka d-Ashur (talk) 20:25, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Shootings in the US are consider too routine for coverage at ITN. Masem (t) 20:29, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with Masem. Unfortunately, a shooting with < 10 casualties (injured + dead) is too commonplace in the US and is unlikely to get posted at ITN. Natg 19 (talk) 20:36, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Could we just have an ongoing item "Shootings in the US" with a "(latest)" link and then toggle it as we go along? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- No, because ITN is not a news ticker. Masem (t) 22:58, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

ITNC Archives are broken
[edit]Midway through each archive page, the nomination templates stop showing up and instead are replaced by text showing the name of the template. (For example, March 2025 on March 11th) This obviously makes the archive viewing experience worse. Is there a way to fix this/make sure that future archived pages do not have this issue? Jbvann05 18:22, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- There's a template transfusion limit I.e. maximum number of templates allowed on a page. This archive looks like it's exceeded that. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- One way that this can be avoided is to subst the {{ITN Candidate}} template in the archives. However, I am not sure if we can subst TemplateStyles that's currently embedded in the template. – robertsky (talk) 03:43, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
