Talk:2020s

Collage
It is way too early to add a collage of a decade that is barely a quarter of the way done. A collage for the 2010s was not added until it ended, the same principle should be applied here. 134.41.97.116 (talk) 01:42, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree, but it's a lost cause.. it is a problem of enforcement, bored people keep re-introducing the collage every time is removed. The consensus was on keeping a minimal collage: AI, Kabul, Ukraine and Covid-19. Yet, the picture of the British royal family keeps re-appearing Dadoso90 (talk) 18:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Remove for now due to WP:WAIT DementiaGaming (talk) 03:50, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Dadoso90, @Deb, @HiLo48, @Nagae Iku, @Escape Orbit, @Thebiguglyalien, @GoodDay @InvadingInvader, @Indiana6724, please post your preferences on this. DementiaGaming (talk) 00:15, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Image collages should be removed from all Decade pages. GoodDay (talk) 00:28, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I know, but this is about the immediate removal of the 2020s collage because User:Indiana6724 is trying to tell me to stop removing them even though he is violating WP:WAIT. DementiaGaming (talk) 00:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * An image collage shouldn't have been added to this particular page. We're not even a quarter into this decade. GoodDay (talk) 01:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Totally agree. Deb (talk) 09:26, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That’s a bit ascetic 2A00:23C8:7484:AB01:84EC:7F7:C31:BE91 (talk) 23:16, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Remove, since it is too difficult to enforce rules and talk discussions are constantly ignored by a few users who keep introducing new images. I would be okay with a smaller collage including images that make sense: Covid-19, Ukraine, AI, but this does not seem to be a workable solution. Dadoso90 (talk) 16:19, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I like the collage. There’s certainly no harm in having a collage that updates as the decade progresses. I don’t understand this demand for there to be no photo at all, when any respectable Wikipedia page starts with a photo 2A00:23C8:7484:AB01:84EC:7F7:C31:BE91 (talk) 23:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Correct, I don’t see any problem with collages, asides on difference between technology and real world events that happened over a decade. -“ Userbase3913 ” (talk) 01:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I would like to invite @HTGS to this discussion to remind him that there is a clear consensus to remove the images (he added them back on 3 January) DementiaGaming (talk) 18:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * In keeping the collage for the moment, we are applying WP:STABLE. When the RFC on collages generally has closed we will likely know whether or not the collage here can remain as a general rule, until that point it appears bad faith to remove it mid-discussion. There is no hurry, and until a closure has been made, there is no harm leaving it as is without all this silly edit warring.
 * For the record, I oppose removing this collage, so we no longer have local consensus here either. (You could also call it WP:BRD if you like.) If it comes to it, we can hold a straw poll on whether this page should have a collage, or when it would be appropriate for a collage to be added. If a straw poll is not preferred, an RFC would also be fine. — HTGS (talk) 08:47, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I’m sure, but it is needed for the article despite the decade not being over yet. ArtForDecades610  (talk) 18:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * So, the consensus is to remove them, then? The people who want to remove them have proved that it is not needed. If so, I will remove it this week. DementiaGaming (talk) 12:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Images should be kept, as they provide visual cues to the prominent events of the decade. I see no difference between this page and most others: they require editorial discretion, but also serve to inform the reader and provide interest to people landing on the article. — HTGS (talk) 20:48, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I very strongly agree. HiLo48 (talk)

I can't prove it, but I suspect the IP & Mobile editors who are re-adding the image, are likely the same individual. GoodDay (talk) 19:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Can someone step in about this? The IPs have repeatedly reverted my edits disruptively, and I think this warrants a WP:WAR report. DementiaGaming (talk) 16:27, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * An WP:ER report or an WP:AN report. GoodDay (talk) 22:20, 31 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I've requested semi-protection for the page. GoodDay (talk) 22:28, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. DementiaGaming (talk) 22:30, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree with page protection, as anyone could still edit the article, but it prevents anonymous users from contributing usefully, so a consensus would assist on debating whether should collage be used or not. ArtForDecades610  (talk) 18:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Afghanistan, Gaza, or both in collage?
As the decade progresses, the war in Gaza is showing itself to be more and more relevant to geopolitics compared with the fall of Kabul. For the collage, should we replace the picture of Operation Allies Refuge with one representing the current invasion of Gaza, or not? Or should we have images of both, or perhaps neither?

Popular Culture
I've noticed that Skibidi Toilet is wildly popular in the mid-2020s. It won't let me add it, so I want to poll and see if its worth adding because it is like Fortnite popular. Moron24 (talk) 00:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm inclined to see this... as a flash in the pan, but it does get described as "one of the biggest trends on the platform [Youtube]", with someone from YT saying "It’s become one of the year’s [2023] biggest cultural moments", so honestly it probably does merit a mention, at least for now, until it's eclipsed by the next few years of cultural moments. — HTGS (talk) 03:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Lead image montage (outer space please)
Can we at least add one photo showing 2020s space advancement in the lead image montage so it's not just all photos of death and destruction?... I.e., James Webb Space Telescope, Ingenuity helicopter, Lunar Gateway, Artemis program, etc., etc. Thanks. ~ Flyedit32 (talk) 02:06, 22 June 2024 (UTC)


 * If we were to add one image, what would you pick? I also note that neither the section, nor the article 2020s in science and technology have any images attached. It might be productive to start with those. — HTGS (talk) 02:43, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter. Pick one - as long as it's not a picture of disease or devastation. How about this, taken from the JWST in '22. Appreciate the help. NASA’s Webb Reveals Cosmic Cliffs, Glittering Landscape of Star Birth.jpg ~ Flyedit32 (talk) 02:23, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
