2024 final collage

[edit]
From left to right, top to bottom:

A new and diversified collage is out now: [1] ArionStar (talk) 22:34, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DementiaGaming, JeffUK, Alsoriano97, Deb, and Nagae Iku: thoughts? ArionStar (talk) 10:57, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It needs to be in the multi-image template format like above. If you need help doing that, please give the list of files and captions you're proposing and I'll put it together for you today or tomorrow. JeffUK 11:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JeffUK: What's "multi-image template"? ArionStar (talk) 12:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at the example I included above, which we discussed! Or Template:Multiple_image, via Wikipedia:Collage_tips. JeffUK 12:56, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok good! Give me some minutes… ArionStar (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Clockwise, from top left: the 2024 Summer Olympics are held in Paris, France; aftermath of the Spanish floods at Sedaví, Horta Sud; multiple blue screens caused by a worldwide faulty CrowdStrike software update on baggage carousels at LaGuardia Airport, New York City; Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, whose regime fell after opposition offensives, meets with Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei; Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election after surviving an assassination attempt; satellite view of Typhoon Yagi, which caused at least 844 deaths and US$16.6 billion in damage across eight countries and territories; protests in Seoul following the declaration of martial law by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol; Krasnogorsk's Crocus City Hall music venue after a terrorist attack that killed 145 people and injured 551, the deadliest in Russia since 2004." ArionStar (talk) 13:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The only thing I might change would be something more like this picture for the fall of the Assad regime: File:Syrian_rebels_at_Hama_Military_Airport.png. As the rebel coalition was the one initiating the offensive after a long conflict freeze, reflects a battle, and Assad's meeting with Khamenei doesn't have much to do with the Assad dynasty collapse. RiverCastle (talk) 19:23, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Assad himself is the biggest point of the situation. It wouldn't have had such huge coverage if Assad was still ruling. ArionStar (talk) 19:57, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added it to this section. Feel free to either make changes or make a note here. Taken some liberties: 1. Made the proposed captions slightly more concise. 2. Used a better framed picture of the olympic rings. 3. Used the rebels photo, not Assad talking to someone unrelated to the conflict. JeffUK 22:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great! ArionStar (talk) 00:14, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added. ArionStar (talk) 01:35, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice collage work! Thank you everyone! ArionStar (talk) 13:35, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ArionStar Nice work, but I still think that the election of Donald Trump and his assassination attempt should not be included in the collage. There are other events that deserve more attention, such as Sweden's accession to NATO or the coup attempt in Bolivia. Do you really think it is healthy that Trump is in the collage and in the body of the article there are two more pictures of him? If 2023 in the United States exists, it exists for a reason. _-_Alsor (talk) 18:17, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alsoriano97: The article references 2024 as the biggest electoral/election year in history. ArionStar (talk) 22:20, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's exactly why it doesn't make sense for it to be in the collage. _-_Alsor (talk) 12:08, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A world-changing event with an exceptional occurrence deserves it, IMHO. ArionStar (talk) 12:50, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
happens every four years. Ordinary. _-_Alsor (talk) 12:31, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not a attempted assassination. ArionStar (talk) 02:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
in a country where death by firearms and violent massive/public episodes provoked by this is not unusual, it is not as strange as if it happened in other countries or continents. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's a lot better than previously. Not sure why we needed to focus on a US airport to illustrate a worldwide problem, but apart from that... Deb (talk) 16:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Much better of course! The US airport picture is the best of the scope. ArionStar (talk) 18:17, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should add Jeju Air Flight 2216. It's the deadliest Air crash since Lion Air 610 and is likely to have far reaching consequences in aviation. Poxy4 (talk) 07:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A collage about 2024 in the United States. Just joking lol ArionStar (talk) 22:36, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The inclusion of spanish flood is good, but I'm think that this image should be replaced with this image (or this) from flood in Poland, because it looks much better (aslo - this polish image get award). Aslo in the desctiption of this image you can say widly about floods in Europe, because not only Spain was affected by big flooding. Szturnek¿? 21:59, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea!  Done. ArionStar (talk) 02:44, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Szturnek is not a matter of image, but of notoriety. I think that the floods in Spain should have a greater consideration because 230 died in a few thousand square kilometers in a specific country and with the political and economic consequences that it has caused. In Poland 10 people died. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:21, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1. Looking of image is also very important - because the collage is representative of the year, so I think we want it to be pretty.
2. Mayby in Poland less peapols died (because they did better evacuation), but the cost of damage is simillar (2 bilion € in PL and 3,5 bilion € in ES).
3. As I said prevoiusly - Poland and Spain wasn't only countries in Europe that were very badly damage by floods. For exaple in Bosnia floods killed 27 peapols, and in Switzerland 18. Moreover, the flood that damage Poland wasn't only Polish problem, but the whole region problem - and these flood damage also Czechia, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and many more countries. So the best thing is saing about all floods, not only the Spanish one. And this Polish image is good representative, because is look good, and show the destructive power of the flood. Szturnek¿? 15:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Polish one is FP and covers a greater 2024 European floods, not only Spain. ArionStar (talk) 11:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

9 December 2024

[edit]

On 9 December 2024, Google unveil a quantum chips named Willow, which can perform computation in 5 minutes that a traditional supercomputers requires 10 septillion (10^25) years to compute. Does this notable enough to add in 2024 events ? Cloud29371 (talk) 13:52, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's an impressive development, but I just don't think it belongs on the 2024 page. Could probably go on 2024_in_science. Wjfox2005 (talk) 14:38, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. Firstly, the '10^25 figure is only for a hyper-specific problem that was designed as a benchmark for quantum computers, it's not actually performing useful work. When Google made a similar claim for a previous chip, it was debunked by IBM IBM casts doubt on Google's claims of quantum supremacy. All the sources seems to be from Google's press release, and, there's no article for Google Willow, so it's not been shown to be notable yet. It's a leap forward in the specific field of quantum computing, but that's not really relevant to the year in itself yet. If in a few years, people say '2024 saw the dawn of the age of quantum computing' then sure, it should go in. sify have a good explainer! JeffUK 08:22, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alexei Navalny - Feb 16

[edit]

I feel like his death is pretty important, no? Since he was one of the most important/high-profile political dissidents in Russia 2601:645:8A80:9AB0:2DDC:D48A:BC6:6A49 (talk) 04:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done: Don't worry. I've added the death of Alexei Navalny into the article. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 06:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the murder of Brian Thompson removed?

[edit]

Literally the whole world talked about it, it deserves an entry here and it used to but now it's removed! TL;DR:I think we should bring it back Superyassi362 (talk) 20:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never heard of it. Did you include a citation? Deb (talk) 09:02, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article has lots of citations: Killing of Brian Thompson -- irn (talk) 18:11, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should definitely be included. The amount of news coverage easily meets the threshold for notability. Wjfox2005 (talk) 10:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. It was deleted as a "local criminal case", but it's clearly got much broader significance than that. I do see that it's been added back now, though. -- irn (talk) 18:11, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
it is a "local criminal case". This is not a news ticket and the real impact of the assassination is questionable beyond the very structure of the business section he led. Especially in a country where gun deaths are routine. Exclude. _-_Alsor (talk) 18:23, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How are you defining "local"? And what distinguishes a "local" event from one worthy of inclusion in this list? Is there any standard we're using to determine what merits inclusion in this list, or is it just what the editors at any given moment happen to think? -- irn (talk) 20:43, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question is another: what is the real impact of the assassination beyond the headlines? None. This is an encyclopaedia, not CNN or the New York Times. _-_Alsor (talk) 18:10, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2024 is a page for listing notable and newsworthy events for this year. This murder was clearly notable (it's not every day that the CEO of a major U.S. corporation is shot dead in public), and newsworthy (substantial coverage, e.g. top story on BBC News and virtually every other major news outlet). It has sparked a huge amount of debate regarding the U.S. healthcare system, the safety/security of elites, and the morality of the killing itself. Wjfox2005 (talk) 19:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just because it has made headlines (not front pages) in major newspapers/news portals in several countries does not mean it is that important. You'd be surprised how many news items could be included in Year in Topic under this criterion, including a president tripping down a flight of stairs or the Pope blowing off his skullcap. The debate you are talking about is confined to a smaller circle and is not international. Tell me what the real implications of his assassination have been: changes in the policy of carrying weapons, public and private health policies, substantial changes in the structure of the company, international implication of the event (if the perpetrator were, for example, a member of a foreign armed organisation). In fact, the man did not even have a Wikipedia article before his assassination. It was not that important, it is not so notorious, it should be excluded. See 2024 in the United States. _-_Alsor (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Brian Thompson was a millionaire, who was the CEO of a megacorporation whose market capitalization was almost at half a trillion dollars. His death is of course going to be extremely notable. There's a reason his death and the assassin are all over the media right now, this affects the lives of so many people. Protests have taken place across the country. His assassination is very notable, and shouldn't be removed from this article EarthDude (talk) 16:05, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EarthDude, he was not the CEO of UnitedHealth Group. Thompson's article is nominated for deletion because he was not a notable business executive figure. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is a deletion discussion going on for the article, but there is a widespread consensus to keep the article due to Thompson's notability EarthDude (talk) 14:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EarthDude Article has beend deleted because he was not that notable. His murder should be excluded from Year in topic. _-_Alsor (talk) 14:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, even if the article on Thompson has been made a redirect, the original arguement of the event of the assassination being notable enough to be included in this article still stands though EarthDude (talk) 17:18, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
conflating "a president tripping down a flight of stairs or the Pope blowing off his skullcap" with a widely-reported assassination is in incredibly bad faith, but this is no surprise from your usual Wikipedia pedant. AsyarSaronen (talk) 15:22, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 December 2024

[edit]

February 16th says of Alexei Navalny that: "His death is a result of combined diseases". The linked source does not suggest this anywhere, instead repeatedly stressing that he was healthy days earlier, and that he was likely murdered. An impartial entry would state: "Russian sources suggest that he died of a combination of diseases" - if a source can be provided - "whereas Western sources suggest that he was murdered by the state". The poor English of the existing entry suggests that the entry may have been written or edited by a partisan propagandist. BrassMonkey80 (talk) 13:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Can you find a source for both parts of your suggested replacement? Ultraodan (talk) 04:09, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia protests and plane crash, south korea

[edit]

I think we should add the 2024 georgia protests in Tbilisi and the plane crash in south korea. 82.77.193.84 (talk) 12:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
