== [[Extinct language|Language extinction]] ==
== Collage ==


Various languages becoming extinct following the death of their final speaker.
With the first quarter of 2023 done, I think we can begin making a collage which would obviously be altered throughout the rest of the year.
* [[Columbia-Moses]] - death on [[May 2|May 2nd]], [[2023]], following the death of [[Pauline Stensgar]]<ref>[https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2023/may/05/last-fluent-speaker-of-nxamxcin-language-dies-at-9/|"Last Fluent Speaker of Nxamxcin Language Dies at 96"].

{{reflisttalk}}
1. The Syria/ Turkish Earthquake
2. French Pensions protests (although this is domestic, some domestic events get global attention)
3. Israeli Judicial Reform protests (same situation as France)
4. The rise of AI (maybe Chat GPT could be used)
5. The Chinese Spy Balloon incident
6. Trump's indictment (same thing as France)
7. Signiture Bank Collapse (mostly a US thing but it had global impacts)
8. Finland joining NATO, which hasn't happened yet, but it will soon [[User:TRJ2008|TRJ2008]] ([[User talk:TRJ2008|talk]]) 13:40, 2 April 2023 (UTC)


== Continuing the collage discussion ==
:Certainly the collage can be less American-centric than you propose: Benedict XVI's funeral, assault on Brazilian high institutions, High Seas Treaty... [[User:Alsoriano97|_-_Alsor]] ([[User talk:Alsoriano97|talk]]) 16:53, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
::Agree. [[User:MarioJump83|MarioJump83]] ([[User talk:MarioJump83|talk]]) 09:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
:::Also in agreement here, although I probably wouldn’t include the Brazil capital events on the collage, for much the same reasons as those of the US in January 2021. [[User:TheScrubby|TheScrubby]] ([[User talk:TheScrubby|talk]]) 09:37, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
:I agree with most of these, though I don't think the Chinese spy balloon should qualify, it wasn't that big a deal at the end of the day. [[User:GevBen|GevBen]] ([[User talk:GevBen|talk]]) 18:58, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
:I'd say five for now: Silicon Valley Bank, ChatGPT and AI, Brazil, the Earthquake, and Finland joining NATO./ <b><span style="color:#0080FB">Invading</span><span style="color:#0668E1">Invader</span></b>


Image E - the US banking crisis - had only one vote as far as I can see. This was a domestic event that does not lend itself to a visual summary and should be immediately removed from the collage. [[User:Deb|Deb]] ([[User talk:Deb|talk]]) 08:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Nominate the inclusion of the following events for consideration (''with some events repeated from previous nominations''). (1) Croatia adopts the euro and joins the Schengen Area, (2) [[2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake]], (3) [[Northern Ireland Protocol]], (4) [[High Seas Treaty]], (5) Iran and Saudi Arabia agree to resume diplomatic relations, (6) [[Acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS]], (7) [[IPCC Sixth Assessment Report]], (8) Finland becomes the 31st member of NATO. [[User:Carter00000|Carter00000]] ([[User talk:Carter00000|talk]]) 08:58, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


:I’m neutral on the topic’s inclusion, but I don’t like the rationale that no domestic events may be included. I could call maybe half of the current images “domestic” (especially Hawaii, but also Brazil). I also think we could do a lot worse for visual representation—we have three photos of hard-to-discern general destruction—but I see your point. For me, it comes down to importance, and it just feels borderline. But there are a lot of borderline topics. <span style="font-family:Avenir, sans-serif">—&nbsp;<span style="border-radius:5px;padding:.1em .4em;background:#faeded">[[User:HTGS|HTGS]]</span>&nbsp;([[User talk:HTGS|talk]])</span> 03:27, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
:Fair enough. Although I would not include the sixth IPCC report. The previous ones have not been included in the collage. Not that it's irrelevant, but it's not particularly noticeable either. [[User:Alsoriano97|_-_Alsor]] ([[User talk:Alsoriano97|talk]]) 21:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
::I'd replace the IPCC report with either the Israeli or French protests. Every previous year for the last few years has had a major protest from around the world in the collage and I feel like these were the most high profile ones this year so far. [[User:GevBen|GevBen]] ([[User talk:GevBen|talk]]) 23:06, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not saying ''no'' domestic events may be included, but normally they are omitted if they don't have a major worldwide effect. As usual, this collage is US-centric, and I agree that several of the other images are equally uninformative. I'm moved to comment it out unless a genuine attempt is made to achieve consensus. [[User:Deb|Deb]] ([[User talk:Deb|talk]]) 13:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
:::{{tq|“Major worldwide effect”}}: I’m fine with this, but I would also add an OR for something like “significant domestic historical importance”. I agree about the collage being US centric, but US financial events {{em|do}} have more global importance than most countries. Again, I am neutral on this one, so if nobody else comments, you can just remove it (as a somewhat [[WP:BOLD]] edit), but if we were acting on your criteria, wouldn’t the fires in Hawaii have even less “major worldwide effect”?

:::For the record, I would cast only a weak vote to remove the Hawaii wildfires, and I would replace either with the coronation of Charles III and the expansion of NATO, both being more international, and more historically significant. But perhaps it’s worth just carrying on with {{u|WeatherWriter}}'s planned polls? <span style="font-family:Avenir, sans-serif">—&nbsp;<span style="border-radius:5px;padding:.1em .4em;background:#faeded">[[User:HTGS|HTGS]]</span>&nbsp;([[User talk:HTGS|talk]])</span> 22:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
There is no need for so many pictures - in fact, there is no need for a collage at all. Let's wait until we know what this year's big news stories are. Any particularly significant individual events can have images placed alongside their entry. [[User:Deb|Deb]] ([[User talk:Deb|talk]]) 15:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

:I prefer to wait until this year is finished. I remember feeling that the collage of 2022 are being not up-to-date after October's events, with crowd crushes and collapses of that time. [[User:MarioJump83|MarioJump83]] ([[User talk:MarioJump83|talk]]) 00:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

:: Best option is to not have the collage at all since it is entirely useless. Least bad solution is at the very least to wait for the year to be over before we even start talking about it since trying to compile the content before year's end would just be a complete waste of time. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly|talk]]) 19:47, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I agree with the notion not to have a collage until the end of the year. And I also agree that we really don't need many pictures at the moment if there even was one right now. That being said if I had to say what I think should eligible for the collage:
*For certain - Turkey-Syria Earthquake, Finland joining NATO
*Should be considered but could be swapped out - French or Israeli protests (I don't think it's likely we'd choose both), American Bank Collapses, Brazil Congress Attack, AI, High Seas Treaty, Sudan Conflict
As I said though, I think we should wait until the end of the year just to post a definitive collage because by that point everything would be a lot clearer in retrospective on what to add and also it would avoid constant changes as notable events are always likely to spring throughout the rest of the year. [[User:Captain Galaxy|<span style="font-family:Impact;color: #ffb93c">Captain</span>]][[User talk:Captain Galaxy|<span style="font-family:Impact;color: #b06ad4">Galaxy</span>]] 12:29, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Whenever everyone decides to vote on images, I gladly volunteer to assemble this year's collage! [[User:The ganymedian|The ganymedian]] ([[User talk:The ganymedian|talk]]) 03:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

== Collage ==

2023 is now halfway done and I think we can start working on a collage. There will obviously be moments later in the year that would replace some of those I'm about to mention. Anyway here's my suggestions:

The Turkish Earthquake

The Titan Implosion

Charles' coronation

The rise of AI

The spy balloon incident

The Israeli Judicial reform protests

The Wagner rebellion

The Sudanese conflict [[User:TRJ2008|TRJ2008]] ([[User talk:TRJ2008|talk]]) 13:13, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

:Personally I am of the opinion we shouldn't have a dedicated discussion on the collage until say late-November or December. A lot can happen in another 6 months so I'd rather we just let it play out before we focus on the collage. That being said, in my opinion some of the events suggested I don't think reflect this year or at least aren't as impactful as others. The events in question that you have listed are; The Titan Implosion - It doesn't have any impact on much, Charles' Coronation - Debatable but is likely not going to get past voting, Spy Balloon - It was impactful but feel wasn't as notable as other events, Wagner Rebellion - Could be really impactful but I suggest just waiting and seeing how it pans out.

:We have already come to a concensus on the collage
:We have added the earthquakes, the Brazillian congress attack, the banking crsis, and the ICC's arrest warrant for Putin. You can find the links to the images on the edit page. Thanks for trying [[User:DementiaGaming|DementiaGaming]] ([[User talk:DementiaGaming|talk]]) 15:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

== [[2023 North India floods]] & [[2023 South Korean floods]] ==

Should we add [[2023 North India floods|2023 North India flood]] & [[2023 South Korean floods]] to the page? The death toll for both events are quite high, comparable to other disasters which have been included on this page (ie. June 21, June 14, March 18, January 10). [[User:Carter00000|Carter00000]] ([[User talk:Carter00000|talk]]) 14:03, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

:The North India flood deserves to be on there, it killed 422 people. [[User:DementiaGaming|DementiaGaming]] ([[User talk:DementiaGaming|talk]]) 18:12, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

== Mass Removal of Content ==

I note that user [[User:JohnAdams1800|JohnAdams1800]] has made a number of removals across the page. The edit summaries for the removals seems to cite consensus which is not readily apparent or documented.

*The UAW strike '''isn't important enough to merit inclusion here'''. It would merit being in the 2023 in the U.S. article '''but it's too localized and not a natural disaster'''.

*The SAG-AFTRA strike is '''too localized to merit inclusion on this page'''.

*Hurricane Hilary '''is too localized and didn't cause exceptional damage or death'''.

*The St.Petersburg bombing is '''part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and doesn't merit its own entry'''.

*The New Zealand-EU trade deal '''is too localized and routine to merit an entry on this article'''.

*The Tenerife fire didn't cause any fatalities, and is thus '''too localized to merit an entry'''.

*'''Bilateral relations, both commercial and military, are not sufficiently important to merit entries unless they are truly extraordinary or conflicts'''.

I would like to seek some additional input on weather the items should be removed, given the quantity of the removals and the justifications for the removals.

{{collapse top|title=Removed Content}}

The following items were removed.

*[[September 15]] – The [[United Auto Workers]] (UAW) begin [[United Auto Workers strike of 2023|a strike]] against the big three American automakers of [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[General Motors]], and [[Stellantis]].

*[[August 16]] – [[August 21]] – [[Hurricane Hilary]], a Category 4 Pacific Hurricane, strikes the [[Baja California peninsula]] and later [[Southern California]], the region's first in 84 years.

**[[August 15]] – [[2023 Tenerife wildfire]]: More than 3,000 people are evacuated from the Spanish Canary Island of [[Tenerife]] as a wildfire breaks out. The fire burns some 2,600 hectares (around 6,424 acres) of land.

**[[July 14]] – [[SAG-AFTRA]] announces it will begin [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike|an ongoing strike]] against the major film and TV studios in protest of low compensation, ownership of work, and [[generative AI]].

*[[July 10]]
**[[China]] and the [[Solomon Islands]] sign a cooperation agreement between the [[People's Police (China)|People's Police]] and the [[Royal Solomon Islands Police Force]] in an upgrade of [[China–Solomon Islands relations|bilateral]] relations.
**The [[European Commission]] and the [[Federal government of the United States|U.S. government]] sign a new [[data communication]] [[Multilateral treaty|agreement]] aimed at resolving [[Legal certainty|legal uncertainties]] that European and American companies face when transferring [[personal data]].

*[[July 9]] – [[New Zealand]] signs a [[free trade agreement]] with the [[European Union]], increasing [[New Zealand–European Union relations|bilateral]] trade.

*[[April 2]]
**[[2023 Saint Petersburg bombing]]: Russian pro-[[Government of Russia|government]] war correspondent [[Vladlen Tatarsky]] is killed by a bombing at a café in [[Saint Petersburg]] owned by oligarch [[Yevgeny Prigozhin]]. Sixteen others are injured.

*'''Propose''' to reinstate all removed items for the time being, given the vague references to consensus given as justification in the edit summaries. The items may be removed again later if there are other editors who wish to remove the items and/or consensus to remove the items. [[User:Carter00000|Carter00000]] ([[User talk:Carter00000|talk]]) 18:19, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Support''' totally agree. There is no need for an extensive justification if it is sufficiently clear, easy to understand and are common sense knowing what is the ''raison d'être'' of Year in Topic. [[User:Alsoriano97|_-_Alsor]] ([[User talk:Alsoriano97|talk]]) 21:25, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

:'''Oppose mass removal, at least for now.''' This is the old international notability standard back at it again. See [[User:InvadingInvader/Against international notability|my essay on why we should not bring back International Notability]] for context. There is no consensus for neither the standard nor the removal. I am vehemently against the standards as enforced from 2021 to early 2023 being reigned in yet again.
:I personally am strongly against the removals of either UAW or SAG-AFTRA. Unions affect a major chunk of notable businesses which have a wide effect on culture. For UAW, the argument is a bit stronger for exclusion, but prices for automobiles are due to go up because of this alone, and it's covered by reliable sources ([https://www.vox.com/2023/9/15/23875044/uaw-strike-news-contract-demands-wentzville-toledo-wayne Vox] and [https://apnews.com/article/car-prices-auto-workers-strike-98905c8e0fcf633d21a1f83183f9fd49 AP]. For now, given the grave impacts that RS's have cited could be caused from the UAW strike, I argue for its inclusion, though if it gets resolved quickly without major effect to the economy as described by RS's, I will support exclusion.
:I could see as to why bilateral diplomatic and trade relations aren't too significant enough. The standards for natural disasters seem to arbitrary, though I could see the argument for Hurricane Hilary and the Tenerife fires. I would be open to a firmer standard or criteria for natural disasters pending that it gets an RFC.
:For other events, I would suggest that we include or exclude them based on due weight, and not arbitrary standards. Previous debates on 2022 regarding the inclusion of Robbie Coltrane and more so Barbara Walters (the "Coltrane RFC" and "Walters RFC" respectively) cited the wide dissatisfaction with international notability as it has been previously defined on Years articles. I do not wish to see it implemented here ever again. <b><span style="color:#0080FB">Invading</span><span style="color:#0668E1">Invader</span></b> ([[User:InvadingInvader|userpage]], [[User talk:InvadingInvader|talk]]) 00:00, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

:'''Oppose mass removal'''. The SAG-AFTRA strike should absolutely be included. The strike being due, at least in part, to the emergence of AI, is highly notable. It would be useful and informative to readers in the future, looking back at the progress of this tech. Also, Hollywood studios have global reach and a major influence on culture, and the workers are often based in other countries, not just the US.

:in my opinion it should be Case by case basis.
:SAG-AFTRA & UAW strikes should be '''included''', because they are covered 24/7 on the news and has a big impact on their respective industries.
:Hurricane Hilary should be '''included''', because it infected not only the us but also Mexico and some Caribbean countries.
:The St.Petersburg bombing should be '''excluded''' because this Page is not a timeline for the Ukrainian war.
:The New Zealand-EU trade should be '''excluded''' because is this the local trade deal which I don't think the general public even knows or cares about, and should be put on their respected places year pages as it's just useless trivia.
:The Tenerife fire should be '''included''' because the press is on it and it is devastating Spain. [[User:4me689|'''<span style="color:#CE5DAE">''4me689''</span>''']] ([[User talk:4me689|talk]]) 15:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
::In my opinion, the New Zealand-EU trade agreement is the most event most worthy of '''inclusion''' in the list. New Zealand and the EU together encompass 28 separate countries, accounting for approximately one-sixth of global trade.

:::You should know that treaties between the EU and singular countries (NZ, Fiji, Malawi or San Marino) are common. This is how international diplomacy works since its millenary origin: with treaties whenever possible. No treaty should be included.

:::Hurricane Hilary has affected several countries, as any other hurricane, storm or wave can affect. Without notorious figures of damages and victims.
:::The strikes are notorious and this year's have had no international effect.

::::Why do we even keep saying "international"? Seems like that we're going back to "international exclusive" inclusion criterias when we should really be following the due weight policies instead.

Most of the people who concur with my opinion think that year articles are ''too'' exclusive, and more so based on arbitrary disaster standards (aka, what I refuted in [[User:InvadingInvader/Against international notability|my international notability essay]]) rather than coverage. A majority of us, aside from maybe you and John, are generally in favor of coverage based standards, and while I value your opinion on more substance-based events, a rough philosophy I myself agree with, I think you're being too exclusionary.

:'''Oppose''' removal of '''the SAF-AFTRA strike''' Hollywood movies are not a local topic. See https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/2022/. The foreign revenue for the 200 highest grossing movies of 2022 was large, often exceeding the revenue in the United States. It has received significant coverage from the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/c7p29rdrw9xt. The topic of the effect of AI on jobs also makes it more generally notable. '''Oppose''' removal of UAW strike. U.S. car makers' share of overseas markets, as well as domestic markets, is declining but it is not insignificant. Also, Fortune magazine had an article entitled ''Your American Car Is Probably Not as American as You Think'' in 2019. It is behind a paywall but the title shows that the strike is of importance to foreign manufacturers and has more than a local scope. The inclusion of '''Hurricane Hilary''' can only be justified because it was rare geographically. Thankfully, despite the pre-storm hype, the damage and casualties were not extraordinary in any of the locations that it affected. I am on the fence on this one but lean toward exclusion. The Tenerife wildfire was not extraordinary enough to justify inclusion and has no further implications. The St. Petersburg bombing is too localized an event to include. The target of one of a notorious person's lesser known operatives does not lead to wider implications. Such events are unfortunately common worldwide, as well. The trade agreements are now probably too common to include. There may be more justification for the China-Solomons agreement as China extends its influence to other countries. I am not sure about the data communications agreement because I don't know the terms. If this has implications for privacy or international business, it might merit inclusion. Of course, all are notable enough to have articles. [[User:Donner60|Donner60]] ([[User talk:Donner60|talk]]) 05:48, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

== Should Rupert Murdoch's retirement merit an entry? ==

Should [[Rupert Murdoch]] retiring as chairman of News Corp and Fox merit an entry for this page? I'm looking for a consensus, because I've seen the entry added, then removed, then added--by others, not me. Does Murdoch deserve an entry on '''this''' page, or could this just belong on an article about developments in the media industry in 2023 for example?

Murdoch is a powerful individual whose media empire spans Australia, the UK, and the United States, but on the other hand he's not extremely well-known or a politician holding elected office, and his companies have significant competition. He is unique because he & his family own his media companies, while most of his competitors are publicly traded corporations. Murdoch's retirement will also not have a direct impact regarding the content from his companies (i.e. Sky News Australia, the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, the Sun, etc.) and I can't recall similar entries if other billionaires retire from their powerful and well-known companies (i.e. Jeff Bezos retiring as CEO but staying as Chairman of the board of Amazon or Bill Gates stepping down from Microsoft's board). [[User:JohnAdams1800|JohnAdams1800]] ([[User talk:JohnAdams1800|talk]]) 04:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

:'''Strong include'''. "Not extremely well-known" - eh? Apart from being the most powerful media magnate in human history? And no, he wasn't "a politician holding elected office", but the influence of his media over elections, and politics in general, has been undeniably huge.

== Should the recent acquisitions by [[Cisco]] & [[Tapestry, Inc.|Tapestry]] be included? ==

I note that user [[User:Wjfox2005|Wjfox2005]] has removed two entries relating to recent acquisitions by [[Cisco]] & [[Tapestry, Inc.|Tapestry]].

* [[September 21]] – [[Cisco]] announces it will acquire cybersecurity firm [[Splunk]] for $28 billion USD, the biggest technology merger of the year.
* [[August 10]] – [[Tapestry, Inc.|Tapestry]], the holding company of [[Coach New York]] and [[Kate Spade New York|Kate Spade]], announces it will acquire [[Michael Kors]]' [[Capri Holdings]], which also owns [[Versace]] and [[Jimmy Choo (fashion house)|Jimmy Choo]].

The edit summaries for the removals don't seem to cite any consensus or policy which is readily apparent or documented.

* Splunk isn't exactly a household name, and I heard nothing of this merger from any news outlet. So this entry just doesn't seem notable enough.
* Totally irrelevant, boring and non-notable business event

Should these recent acquisitions by [[Cisco]] & [[Tapestry, Inc.|Tapestry]] be included? [[User:Carter00000|Carter00000]] ([[User talk:Carter00000|talk]]) 14:28, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

:'''Exclude'''. But I'd support their inclusion in [[2023 in the United States]]. As far as I can tell, these events have received little or no coverage internationally (certainly not here in the UK). There ''might'' be a case for inclusion of the first one, due to its size. The second one is considerably less at $8.5bn, which I don't view as notable for 2023. [[User:Wjfox2005|Wjfox2005]] ([[User talk:Wjfox2005|talk]]) 15:15, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

:'''Strong Include'''. It's frankly bullcrap to claim that Michael Kors, Coach, and Versace aren't notable based on both the older criteria and new due weight guidelines. Likewise with Cisco and to a lesser but still consequential extent Splunk. I do not think that previous commenters recognize the impact that either mega-merger involves, which while not being as big dollar-wise, absolutely shakes up two of the most prominent industries in the world today: cybersecurity and luxury goods. <b><span style="color:#0080FB">Invading</span><span style="color:#0668E1">Invader</span></b> ([[User:InvadingInvader|userpage]], [[User talk:InvadingInvader|talk]]) 18:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
::"''absolutely shakes up''" – how, exactly? Who will it affect? Which countries, or aspects of society, etc.? I mean, maybe it does have an impact, and maybe I'm ignorant, but it wasn't at all clear from the entries you posted. Some additional explanation is needed (but in a concise way), for the layman. Mergers and acquisitions are happening all the time in the world of business, so what makes these events special enough to include on [[2023]]? [[User:Wjfox2005|Wjfox2005]] ([[User talk:Wjfox2005|talk]]) 06:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Wjfox2005|Wjfox2005]] apologies for the late reply; been working on other things. Tackling Cisco/Splunk first: Well aside from the $28 billion price tag, a number which alone should merit some mention, this is the largest acquisition in the software field as of recent. Cisco and Splunk companies are major in an industry becoming more relevant by the day, especially considering that cybersecurity has been the focus of two of the last four new articles I've written myself ([[Scattered Spider]] which hacked MGM and Caesars, as well as the alleged [[2023 Sony ransomware hack]]). Sony needs no elaboration, and Scattered Spider's attack in particular hit nearly every aspect of Las Vegas and everyone who has ever gambled at the two largest casino companies in the world, which is a LOT of people. MGM's hack also brought down BetMGM, which many in the US and the UK use to do their sports betting. All of this highlights the crucialness of the cybersecurity industry which you seem to have played down, and an acquisition of one of the largest companies in this sector is undoubtedly notable in world events. Just because you didn't get a CNN alert on something doesn't mean it's not notable or that notability per the DUE Weight guidelines is fulfilled. An argument which states that cybersecurity doesn't matter is inherently ignorant or against the industry.
:::As for Tapestry and Capri, the luxury market is generally Eurocentric. The two largest luxury companies are Kering and LVMH, and all are French houses which have started to eat up American companies like Tiffany and Company for LVMH and Maui Jim for Kering. Further consider that these brands are among the most recognized brands in the world; Louis Vuitton [https://www.forbes.com/powerful-brands/list/ per Forbes] is more recognizable than nearly every company in the world save for Big Tech companies, Disney, and Coca-Cola. Tapestry, Capri, LVMH and Kering control nearly every major luxury brand in the world today, save for Ralph Lauren, Prada, Rolex and Hermes. According to the [https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/article/3223144/10-most-popular-luxury-brands-world-ranked-lvmhs-louis-vuitton-chanel-and-dior-and-kerings-gucci SCMP] and UBuy, Versace and Michael Kors (Capri) are the 6th and 7th most popular luxury brands in the world, and Coach New York (Tapestry) is the 10th. Anything big involving any of the top luxury brands in the world should be here as well. Again, while your personal opinion on luxury is free to disregard these fashion houses, it's BS to think that the globe at large doesn't focus on these brands.
:::As an ancillary point, not only are these corporations notable for their industry impact, but also have the eyes of Wall Street and traders worldwide focused on them. <b><span style="color:#0080FB">Invading</span><span style="color:#0668E1">Invader</span></b> ([[User:InvadingInvader|userpage]], [[User talk:InvadingInvader|talk]]) 18:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

== Nobel Prizes Rationale ==

I'm curious on the thoughts in adding Nobel Prizes Rationale to the the Nobel Prizes section which I just did here. In my opinion it's an improvement to the section because it gives you the reason why they were nominated in the first place giving more context to that area. I'm thinking of putting this on WP years talk, but I don't feel like putting that on there yet.

:Should 100% be included. However, now that you've started this discussion here, I suspect we'll see a repeat of previous years' debates on whether Nobel Prizes should even be mentioned at all on year pages.

== Collage Discussions ==

=== Final image for the collage ===

October is here, and we have already come to the consensus for seven images on the 2023 collage, as you can see on the edit page. There have been two major conflicts within the past month that are both candidates for the eighth picture on the collage, both with major implications. The first one is the September Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. It only resulted in the death of around 440 people and only persisted for one day, but ended in the inception of major protests within Armenia, the egression of over 100,000 Armenians (one-third of the population of the region) from Nagorno-Karabakh, and the partition of the region unto Azerbaijan.

The second preference is the Gaza-Israeli engagement. As of this post, it has started today, but has already ended the lives of of 530 people and may amplify into a full-scale war within the next few days. However, unlike the Nagorno-Karabakh war, there is less peril or certainty for genocide like the Nagorno-Karabakh situation.

Both regions have a lengthy, significant history to them, and both are favorable for displaying on the collage. There is also two months left to the year, so if another major world event transpires, we may have to remove an event. I added the Hawai'i wildfires as a image to the collage, so I affirm that I am entitled to say that it might be a candidate for not being critical enough to be on the collage if such a major event happens. Let me know what you guys think. [[User:DementiaGaming|DementiaGaming]] ([[User talk:DementiaGaming|talk]]) 00:09, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

:'''The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,''' because it likely ended the conflict (1988-2023) after the 2023 Azerbaijan offensive and the dissolution of the Republic of Artsakh on January 1, 2024. It's very specific to this year and had a major impact with the exodus of over 100,000 Armenians and the deaths of about 440 people.
:The Gaza-Israeli conflict is part of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict, which has been ongoing since 1948 and has its own long and detailed articles. I don't think it work well for a collage for just 2023, though it is the first time Israel has declared war since the 1973 Yom-Kippur War.

:I would say the '''Gaza Israel conflict'''. While it is part of an existing conflict, this is a major escalation and has resulted in the first declaration of war by Israel in fifty years. As I’m typing this, Israel is also seemingly launching an offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon. To John Adams’ point, the same could be said about the Azerbaijan conflict as it’s part of a decades long post soviet conflict. This is definitely a larger global event.

The Israel-Hamas war has dominated this year's news, it seems to me that Jesus will return sooner or later. I think we should add 3 images relating to the war on the collage.

:'''Stick to 2 images,''' because the war began in October and is part of the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict which has been ongoing since 1948.

@[[User:DementiaGaming|DementiaGaming]]: You say that the specific image suggestions can be found at the edit page. Where is that? (found the list of events at The ganymedian's talk page). I would like to discuss that we begin making our collages using the [[Template:Multiple image|multiple image template]], mainly because images can can be viewed in a higher resolution when clicked. Here's a draft from me:
::* International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova
::* Flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians
::* 2023 Israel-Hamas war
::* 2023 Chinese balloon incident
::* 2023 United States banking crisis
::* Cyclone Daniel
::* 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake

::::@[[User:DementiaGaming|DementiaGaming]]: I'll just comment on my choice of events. I didn't include Putin's arrest warrant. It's basically just a continuation of the war in Ukraine and its not like he was going to vist the U.S. hadn't it been issued.
::::I suggest including the War in Sudan instead. It was a war that started in 2023 and was caused the deaths of tens of thousands and above 1 million refugees. I've also included Charles coronation. I belive it was a huge event. If Israel launched a full on ground invasion of Gaza, some picture of that would probably replace the one of a Hamas missile, albeit speculation.
::::Something that might also be worth considering is the [[Wagner Group rebellion]]; the first real blow to Putin's power in 20 years [[User:Marginataen|Marginataen]] ([[User talk:Marginataen|talk]]) 10:28, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::The reason we included the arrest warrant was the reason behind it - over 700,000 children have been unlawfully deported and transferred by Russia since 2022, which escalated this year. I think, for that reason, it is more important than the war in Sudan. It is the first time they have issued an arrest warrant for a world leader, anyway.

=== Collage depreciation ===
At [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Years#Lead_image]], a discussion on whether to depreciate collages in general in going on. Please share your thoughts.--[[User:Marginataen|Marginataen]] ([[User talk:Marginataen|talk]]) 21:36, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

== Historical accuracy on this page==

Alright, so the news about Israel formally declaring war on Hamas on October 8th has now been merged back in with the news of the initial Hamas attack on October 7th two times now. This is clearly misleading readers. You wouldn't change the specific dates of declarations of war against Germany and Japan in WW2, right? I see no valid reason to merge the two items, one is the attack and the other is a formal declaration of war in response. Two seperate events on seperate days. How is this even an issue? It should be noted that the [[2023_Israel–Hamas_war#8_October|main article includes the declaration of war under October 8th]]. [[User:GWA88|GWA88]] ([[User talk:GWA88|talk]]) 05:53, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

:'''Keep Merge'''. Given that the two events are directly connected to each other, with one being the direct consequence of the other. The events also occurred in a very short time frame, on consecutive days, within less then 48 hours. The general practice on this page is to reduce the number of entries, given the wide range of events the page potentially covers, so a split in the entries which you propose is not normally done. If needed, the sperate dating can be noted in the merged entry.
:It is also suggested you moderate your tone. Accusations of {{tq|clearly misleading readers}}, issues with {{tq|historical accuracy}}, and asking {{tq|How is this even an issue?}}, are both unhelpful and uncivil, especially when you know consensus is against you.

*'''Note'''. It should be noted that even if the '''events occurred in a very short time frame, on consecutive days, within less then 48 hours''', that's still seperate events on seperate days.

== Kevin McCarthy removal? ==

I'm curious why the recent events in the US house haven't been mentioned on this page. I feel like it's important to include given its rarity and impact on US politics.

I'm not a frequent Wikipedia editor, but I feel like American politics is rarely mentioned in these disambiguation pages? I understand not wanting Western politics to overrun the wiki, especially given the makeup of its editor base, but I think there's been a small over-correction. Or maybe I'm just biased myself lol :p [[User:Beccabecco|Beccabecco]] ([[User talk:Beccabecco|talk]]) 00:44, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

:Kevin McCarthy's removal was purely domestic politics and belongs in [[2023 in the United States]]. [[User:Wjfox2005|Wjfox2005]] ([[User talk:Wjfox2005|talk]]) 13:19, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
:This is the article about 2023 ''for the whole world,'' not the United States or any other individual country. Only national events that have enough due weight internationally are featured on this page. General elections for individual countries are regularly featured on this page, but not domestic political events unless they are important enough to have a direct international impact. [[User:JohnAdams1800|JohnAdams1800]] ([[User talk:JohnAdams1800|talk]]) 21:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
:I second the comments made by Wjfox2005 and JohnAdams1800 - to include this event on the main 2023 page would be [[Americentrism]], particularly as if this exact event happened in any other country, nobody would raise a peep/bring this up for debate at all. We have [[2023 in the United States]] for this. [[User:TheScrubby|TheScrubby]] ([[User talk:TheScrubby|talk]]) 05:28, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
:I would strongly disagree with the above comments and say '''VERY strong include''' the ouster of Kevin McCarthy. Just because [[2023 in the United States]] exists doesn't mean that international notability should be reigned in yet again, see [[User:InvadingInvader/Against international notability]]. The exclusion of Kevin McCarthy's removal represents a failure to follow the Due Weight policies. Considering that this was the vote heard around the world, and reported by numerous sources including but not limited to [https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20231004_N02/ NHK in Japan], [https://www.dw.com/en/us-house-mccarthy-falls-to-gop-revolt-in-speakership-ouster/a-66989129 DW in Germany], [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/3/us-house-speaker-mccarthy-removed-from-role-in-unprecedented-vote Al Jazeera] and [https://www.arabnews.com/node/2384976/world ArabNews] from the Arab World, [https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-04/kevin-mccarthy-removed-us-house-of-representatives-speaker/102931772 ABC] in Australia, and [https://thewire.in/world/speaker-of-us-house-of-representatives-kevin-mccarthy-voted-out The Wire in India], and further considering that all of these sources list the ouster as unprecedented, this domestic event has high importance in world history. To respond particularly to @[[User:TheScrubby|TheScrubby]] in saying that the removal of Kevin McCarthy is Americentrism, what about Liz Truss in 2022? She was not too much more notable than McCarthy. One could say that her 45 days being included but not McCarthy's 270 days in the following year could actually be British-centrism. Moreover, if we include her but not McCarthy, that's not preventing Americentrism. It's fostering [[Anti-Americanism]]. May I remind you that Wikipedia articles are written from a neutral point of view, not biasing in favor of, ''or against'', any country. <b><span style="color:#0080FB">Invading</span><span style="color:#0668E1">Invader</span></b> ([[User:InvadingInvader|userpage]], [[User talk:InvadingInvader|talk]]) 17:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
::I unequivocally reject any notion of “anti-Americanism” when I stand against Americentrism (and will continue to call out and stand against with such blatant examples, such as this). Kevin McCarthy was not a head of government or state, and his international equivalents would never be seriously considered for this page. This does not include Liz Truss; there is absolutely zero equivalence with Truss, who was Prime Minister and head of government of one of the world’s most powerful and influential countries. I’ve given my two cents, as has Wjfox2005 and JohnAdams1800, and I’m not about to get into any habit of [[WP:BLUDGEONING]], so I’m not going to comment further on this thread.

== Gaza Hospital ==

I feel as though we should discuss whether to keep the hospital explosion in Gaza on here. Many sources, including official U.S. and Israeli reports say the explosion was caused by the Islamic Jihad, and really only affected the parking lot of the hospital. It seems more and more unlikely that 500+ people were killed by this. [[User:The ganymedian|The ganymedian]] ([[User talk:The ganymedian|talk]]) 15:19, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

This inclusion was [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=2023&diff=prev&oldid=1181042058 reverted] 22 hours later by {{u|Wjfox2005}}, saying it belonged in the [[2023 in the United States]] article, which it already was. My inclusion was based on two parts: (1) the notability, which included local, state, and national responses, including the US National Guard being activated & (2) the shear size of media attention. It is common to include large, single-country disasters in the yearly article (not just country yearly article) if there is an extreme media attention. A few Google searches indicate over 500 media articles (Google news tab) from this event, just Googling “Rolling Fork tornado” (strongest/deadliest tornado of the event) and “Amory tornado” (Just one of 3 different EF3 tornadoes). The disaster article (parent) did appear on Wikipedia’s ITN section. While it wasn’t outside the United States, several international sources (dozens from those 2 Google searches only) came up, including [https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/at-least-23-dead-after-powerful-tornado-devastates-rural-mississippi/news-story/8dd66837b2f1e184ecaf0faab24e6133 this one] by [[News Corp Australia]], based on the opposite side of the world. Notability of the outbreak/stand-alone EF4 tornado article warrant inclusion on this list.

:"...local, state, and national responses" – exactly. Not international. If the tornadoes had occurred along the U.S.-Canada or U.S.-Mexico borders, or if some sort of international response had occurred (e.g. overseas aid), you might have a case. Death toll of 26 is hardly notable for 2023. There are myriad other disasters around the world this year, some with much higher death tolls, that weren't included.

== [[2023 Monterey Park shooting|Monterey Park shooting]], [[2023 Brovary helicopter crash|Brovary helicopter crash]] & [[2023 Brussels shooting]] ==

I note that [[User:Marginataen|Marginataen]] has recently added the following entries:

*[[2023 Monterey Park shooting|A mass shooting]] occurrs in [[Monterey Park, California|Monterey Park]], [[California]], [[United States]], killing eleven people and injuring nine others.

:'''Only the Ukrainian helicopter crash,''' as the other two events don't have enough due weight internationally. The Ukrainian helicopter crash received international coverage and had a high death toll including a member of Ukraine's government. The shooting in California is a domestic event that is quite common in the United States, while the Brussels shooting doesn't have a high enough death toll and didn't have much international coverage outside of Europe.

== Langarud drug rehabilitation center fire--Merit and Citation ==

Does this event merit an entry on '''this''' article? I'm looking for a consensus; I'm not very familiar with the event, but I haven't seen this widely reported '''anywhere''' (i.e. Aljazeera, the New York Times, Washington Post, Euronews, AP News, etc.) except for Fars News Agency (Iran's state media) and it seems to be purely local.

I personally '''oppose''' the entry for now, as it seems to lack due weight--I haven't seen it being widely reported on any reputable news site and hasn't evoked any major reactions in Iran itself from the government.

Also can someone add a citation for the event if we decide to keep it? There's no citation for the event. [[User:JohnAdams1800|JohnAdams1800]] ([[User talk:JohnAdams1800|talk]]) 02:13, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

'''Exclude.''' A domestic incident, and the casualty count isn't notable enough for inclusion on 2023. If, say, 100 or more had died, and there were some international element (such as multiple nationalities among the deaths), it might be worth including. Also, the editor doesn't help their case by omitting a citation. [[User:Wjfox2005|Wjfox2005]] ([[User talk:Wjfox2005|talk]]) 09:34, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

== Change to the DMY format ==

I would also like to suggest changing the date format of this article to the DMY format (e.g. 6 June 2020 as opposed to June 6, 2020).The DMY format seems more international and more suitable for a "global" article like. Also DMY simply makes more sense as it goes from smallest to highest.

On the project page, I've presented a similar proposal to use DMY in general for articles on "generic" years, but would also like it create consensus for it specifically on this article about 2023.

. [[User:Marginataen|Marginataen]] ([[User talk:Marginataen|talk]]) 21:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

:On the one hand, I would '''support''' this, as it's more international as you say. But going through the entire history of humanity and changing each entry would surely be a mammoth task.

::Hello. I would at the very least personally go through all articles until 1900. There is no policy saying all year articles – especially only for a period while the transition happens – has to use the same date format as long as it is consistent within the article itself. However, this discussion is only about the changing it on this specific article about the year 2023. I would personally do it should consensus arise. Are anyone against this change for this specific article? Or just in general for articles about "generic" years?

== Should the Operations 1027 & 1107 from the Myanmar Civil War be added? ==

The rebel groups from the Myanmar Civil war have launched what are reported as successful counteroffensives, named [[Operation 1027]] and [[Operation 1107]], in the [[Myanmar civil war (2021-present)|Myanmar civil war]]. I'm looking for a consensus on whether the counteroffensive should be added, as I believe this has sufficient due weight to merit an entry on this page, because this is a major ongoing armed conflict that also indirectly involves Russia, China, and India which are providing support to Myanmar's military junta. I have one citation (below) and can add more if the consensus is in favor of including this.

One thing is that I'm not sure which date(s) to add for this event, and perhaps they should be added after the counteroffensives have ended because it's ongoing and territorial control can rapidly change--the National Unity Government & rebels could gain additional territory, or the Myanmar military junta could retake territory for example.

It captured global attention in the last days of June, but ultimately, the coup fizzled out. The arrest warrant for Putin is also a major event, with 123 countries obligated to arrest him, covering almost two-thirds of the world. This makes it a global issue. However, in September 2024, Putin visited one of the signatory countries—Mongolia—without being arrested, which undermines the feasibility and significance of the treaty.

Continuing the collage discussion

[edit]

Image E - the US banking crisis - had only one vote as far as I can see. This was a domestic event that does not lend itself to a visual summary and should be immediately removed from the collage. Deb (talk) 08:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m neutral on the topic’s inclusion, but I don’t like the rationale that no domestic events may be included. I could call maybe half of the current images “domestic” (especially Hawaii, but also Brazil). I also think we could do a lot worse for visual representation—we have three photos of hard-to-discern general destruction—but I see your point. For me, it comes down to importance, and it just feels borderline. But there are a lot of borderline topics. — HTGS (talk) 03:27, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying no domestic events may be included, but normally they are omitted if they don't have a major worldwide effect. As usual, this collage is US-centric, and I agree that several of the other images are equally uninformative. I'm moved to comment it out unless a genuine attempt is made to achieve consensus. Deb (talk) 13:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
“Major worldwide effect”: I’m fine with this, but I would also add an OR for something like “significant domestic historical importance”. I agree about the collage being US centric, but US financial events do have more global importance than most countries. Again, I am neutral on this one, so if nobody else comments, you can just remove it (as a somewhat WP:BOLD edit), but if we were acting on your criteria, wouldn’t the fires in Hawaii have even less “major worldwide effect”?
For the record, I would cast only a weak vote to remove the Hawaii wildfires, and I would replace either with the coronation of Charles III and the expansion of NATO, both being more international, and more historically significant. But perhaps it’s worth just carrying on with WeatherWriter's planned polls? — HTGS (talk) 22:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My opinion: the largest banking crisis in the largest economy in the world is very featured. ArionStar (talk) 02:46, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added a new collage suggestion. Balanced? ArionStar (talk) 02:46, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A doubt: Wagner Group or Putin? ArionStar (talk) 01:21, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nagae Iku: does it looks good enough? ArionStar (talk) 03:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's nice, but the image of the Chinese balloon and King Charles III's coronation are cropped a bit unattractively. Maybe I can make some slight modifications and help you upload it.
Then let me share my views on the Wagner coup and the arrest warrant for Putin: The Wagner coup was a significant event, as it is rare for such an occurrence to happen in one of the top three countries in the world. It captured global attention in the last days of June, but ultimately, the coup fizzled out. The arrest warrant for Putin is also a major event, with 123 countries obligated to arrest him, covering almost two-thirds of the world. This makes it a global issue. However, in September 2024, Putin visited one of the signatory countries—Mongolia—without being arrested, which undermines the feasibility and significance of the treaty. In summary, I believe both events are very important, and I find it difficult to choose between them. Nagae Iku (talk) 07:22, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, Putin did not attend the Brazil's G20 summit most likely due to his obvious arrest; Putin is visually a more recognizable figure. Could you fix the collage issues, please? ArionStar (talk) 09:55, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd disagree. The Wagner coup was highly newsworthy and widely reported; the Putin arrest warrant far less so. Deb (talk) 18:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, right. Just waiting for the Iku's update. ArionStar (talk) 00:09, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can anyone help us? ArionStar (talk) 20:07, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Collages were kept per a previous discussion, so please put back the collage in some form (even if the former collage until someone decides what will be changed). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:07, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The previous discussion was very clear that the images in a collage must be discussed and consensus should be achieved before they are added to the article. Deb (talk) 17:11, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This might possibly be the most ineffective talk page on this site.

[edit]

Please stop removing the collage, no other year page has ever had such a lengthy process for consensus on such a simple part of the page, which eventually turned out to be an ineffective waste which was abandoned by March.

In July, a collage image was uploaded and remained there til last month, when an Autocratic mod decided to remove the image and 'continue the collage discussion' on here.

2024 already has a collage image. Its almost 2025, and we're still arguing on 2023's (or maybe even not, given the talk page hasn't even been used in 4 days).

Please add back the original collage image and simply move on with your lives, for lack of better ways of making this clear. Xavience1 (talk) 03:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2023 page also still seems to be behind maximum security protection for whatever reason. Please change this. Xavience1 (talk) 03:13, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like seriously, this article is completely unprecedented in how disgustingly slow it is to adjust. There is not a SINGLE past year article which is still under such a high level of protection (not 2020, 2021, 2022, etc.), and rightfully so due to an article about a year not being of such high interest to potential vandalists and online propagandists.
I have almost 1 million views on articles I've edited, and I still cannot, for whatever fucking reason, even consider touching this article.
PLEASE CHANGE THIS. Xavience1 (talk) 03:34, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nagae Iku: please, save its article. ArionStar (talk) 13:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Xavience1: good enough? ArionStar (talk) 14:16, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could it possibly be because the people who like to create collages, just to show off, don't like it when someone points out that they have failed to achieve consensus? Deb (talk) 17:10, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We're already going to 2025... ArionStar (talk) 17:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't upload anything until October 2025 because I'm banned from Commons. ArionStar (talk) 18:00, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Collage images may have been accepted but that doesn't mean they are mandatory. Deb (talk) 09:50, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Deb: good enough? ArionStar (talk) 01:23, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Where are the captions? Deb (talk) 15:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is just a preview of the collage. ArionStar (talk) 17:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson & Johnson logo change
