In Rainbows
insists on including Radiohead's release of In Rainbows as a significant event, arguing "It marked a major shift in the balance of power in the music industry, and it had a lasting effect." and "The US recording industry is worth $50bn PA - this event marked a sea change in the way that one of the USA's major cultural industries sells,markets and distributes its products, and is now favoured by the biggest acts in the industry." I'm not sure how international the referred-to music industry is, and I doubt the claim about the event marking a "sea change", a claim which would certainly need to be sourced. Because has repeatedly edit-warred this content in, I haven't removed it, but as it stands, it doesn't even have a single source supporting 's claim. -- Irn (talk) 01:21, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Removed, per WP:BLP. As I haven't verified who added it, I'm probably not going to warn  however, unless sources which actually support the text as written are included, it is a clear WP:BLP violation, please continue to remove it.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 03:22, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Virginia Tech shooting
The VA Tech shooting appeared on this page for years but was removed without discussion in the beginning of 2017. As the citations in the article make clear, it was one of the biggest news stories of the year internationally. Instead of just reverting with the summary "not internationally notable," please discuss here if you disagree. agt x 03:51, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It's clearly not international significant, but it seems internationally notable. I don't know what the standard is supposed to be.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 00:23, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your comment. How could something be notable but insignificant? agt x  00:31, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Quite easily. Consider the Kardashians.  Everyone who uses the concept of significance agrees they are notable but insignificant.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 01:26, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Really? Everyone? Not Time Magazine, who called Kim Kardashian a "media phenomenon" and one of the 100 most influential people. Not to mention Robert Kardashian, who defended one of the most significant trials of the 20th century. Your argument sounds like WP:IDONTLIKEIT. What's your reliable source for their insignificance? If everyone thinks it, there must be one. agt x  03:56, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see how the citations in the article make it clear that this was "one of the biggest news stories of the year internationally". I only see three citations for this event, all of which are from the days following the event itself and none of which puts it in any sort of context regarding the biggest news stories of the year. Is there something else you're referring to that I'm not seeing? -- irn (talk) 02:17, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * No, the Libé article is over a week afterward (and in France). This was not a flash in the pan type event. For "year in review" type pieces, see . There was also continuing coverage around the world for many years afterward UK '08 Australia '17 UK '17 France '16 Canada '12  agt x  03:50, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Just replace it. Its removal needs justification at this point, not its inclusion. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:58, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Remaining pictures
@4me689 What are your nominations for the other 3 images for this 2007 collage? The ganymedian (talk) 22:53, 28 September 2022 (UTC)


 * maybe something about Google street views and the housing crisis could work, use the picture that is currently on the 2000s collage for the housing crisis., I don't have a third idea right now, have any ideas  4me689  (talk) 23:46, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The first-generation Kindle is possibly worth including too. It transformed books/reading. Also, Sarkozy became French President and Gordon Brown became UK PM. Wjfox2005 (talk) 11:44, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Collage thoughts
Please let me know if anyone has any disagreements on the images included in the collage, and I will put it up for vote. Thanks The ganymedian (talk) 22:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I think you should replace the 1st pic of Steve Jobs with this one https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Steve_Jobs_presents_iPhone_(cropped).jpg or with an another picture of the actual first iphone reveal. The first pic is from the iphone 4 reveal in 2010. 2A01:CB15:811D:E00:D17B:2CAD:F0C3:6275 (talk) 03:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Sports TV Uganda Limited
New here, but was the incorporation of Sports TV Uganda Ltd really that important in 2007? It also does not have a date associated with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007#October Scipion34 (talk) 16:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
