Typically, the article has been updated to include this text or created in response to the recent/current event. </p><p>The decision as to when an article is updated <i>enough</i> is subjective, but a five-sentence update (with at minimum three references, not counting duplicates) is generally more than sufficient, while a one-sentence update is highly questionable. Changes in verb tense (e.g. "is" → "was") or updates that convey little or no relevant information beyond what is stated in the ITN blurb are insufficient. </p><p>In the case of a new, event-specific article, the traditional cut-off for what is <i>enough</i> has been around three complete, referenced and well-formed paragraphs. An example of the minimum required update for a new article is <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fuzhou_derailment&oldid=363823878">Fuzhou derailment</a></span> at the time of its posting. </p><p>If the recent/current event relates directly to previous occurrences (e.g. a major award honoring past achievements), the article can be considered sufficiently updated when there is consensus that it contains appropriate, up-to-date coverage of the entire chronology, irrespective of when the text was written or how many sentences pertain specifically to the recent/current event (apart from the requirement that it be mentioned). </p><p>Updated content must be thoroughly referenced. As with all Wikipedia articles, citations must be to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">reliable sources</a>. While articles on topics such as sporting events and economics lend themselves to tables of numbers, updates must be at least in part written in prose to qualify for ITN consideration.

Two criteria include: </p> <ul><li>The event can be described as "current". That is, appearing currently in news sources and/or within the time frame of ITN.</li> <li>There is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CONSENSUS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CONSENSUS">consensus</a> to post the event.</li></ul> <p>It is highly subjective whether an event is considered significant enough, and ultimately each event should be discussed on its own merits. The consensus among those discussing the event is all that is necessary to decide if an event is significant enough for posting. Generally, proof that an event is being covered, in an in-depth manner, by news sources is required. Caution should be taken when assessing news sources for prominence, because most major news outlets provide individualized experiences for each user, based on geography and browsing history. What one user sees as a top headline may be buried for others, and vice versa. Do not assess whether a story is "prominent" or not based on where you see it reported on major news websites for this reason. Other principles may be helpful: </p> <ul><li>The length and depth of coverage itself (are the articles long and go into great detail, or are the articles short and cursory?);</li> <li>The number of unique articles about the topic (does each major news source dedicate its own reporting staff to covering the story, or are they all simply reposting the same article?);</li> <li>The frequency of updates about the topic (is the article posted once and forgotten about, or is it continuously updated, and are new articles related to the topic appearing all the time?);</li> <li>The types of news sources reporting the story (is the topic being covered by major, national news organizations with a reputation for high-quality journalism?).</li></ul> <p>These sorts of principles are useful in convincing others to support or oppose posting a story. None are solely sufficient to override consensus. Remember, the people you are attempting to convince is the rest of the community, not the admins, and it is rarely helpful to badger others who may have a different opinion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Arguments_to_avoid" data-mw-thread-id="h-Arguments_to_avoid-Significance"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Arguments_to_avoid-Significance"></span>Arguments to avoid<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Arguments_to_avoid-Significance"></span></h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Arguments to avoid"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:ITNATA"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:ITNATA&redirect=no">WP:ITNATA</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>Historically, the community has tended to frown upon certain types of arguments related to the significance of a story. Any user may, of course, support or oppose a candidate for any reason, but be aware that the following arguments have historically not garnered much support: </p> <ul><li>Arguments about a story relating to a particular geographic region, country, ethnicity, people group, etc. are generally seen as unhelpful. Almost all news is of greater interest to a particular place and/or group of people than to the world at large, and arguing that something should or should not be posted, solely because of where the event happened, or who might be "interested" in it because of its location, are not usually met with concurrence from the community.</li> <li>Arguments that deal with the appropriateness of topics <i>in general</i> but also ignore the <i>specific story being discussed</i> are also usually not supported by the community. Opposing a specific story merely because one opposes all stories of that type (such as elections, or sports, or disasters) do not often generate agreement from the community. This also holds true for arguments based on similar stories which have coincidentally appeared recently, such as multiple elections on the same day, etc. Please assess and comment on the merits of each story on its own accord, not in relation to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS">other similar stories</a>.</li> <li>Arguments based on ethics or morals—for example, refusing to support a story because <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTCENSORED" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTCENSORED">the topic may be offensive to some</a>, or refusing to support a story because one finds the story itself reprehensible—are usually rejected by other members of the community. Bad things may appear in the news, and what is being assessed is not the moral or ethical "goodness" of the story, but its prominence in the news and significance.</li> <li>Arguments based on personal interest and knowledge are rarely sufficient to generate agreement among the community. Merely because one has not heard of a story, or does not personally care about the story, is insufficient when assessing significance.</li></ul> <p>One can get an idea for how certain topics are seen to meet the significance factor by reviewing the archives of ITN candidate discussions, which can be found organized by month at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/Archives" title="Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/Archives">Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/Archives</a>. Editors are cautioned from necessarily relying on consensus from past discussions to bring forward support on a new ITN candidate, since each candidate is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Article_quality" data-mw-thread-id="h-Article_quality-Criteria"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Article_quality-Criteria"></span>Article quality<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Article_quality-Criteria"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Article quality"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:ITNQUALITY"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:ITNQUALITY&redirect=no">WP:ITNQUALITY</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>Articles are held to a minimum standard of quality.

A blurb is a short explanation of the importance of the story in the news, with a specific article we are highlighting to direct readers to learn more information. The highlighted article should always be of sufficient quality to be posted on the main page; this usually means: </p> <ul><li>That the article is adequately referenced (a few cn tags is usually not a barrier to posting, though the article should not lack references in any major section, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLP">biographical</a> information is given special scrutiny.)</li> <li>The article does not have any other major issues. Usually, orange and red level tags are generally considered major enough to block posting to ITN, though editors are cautioned against <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:POINT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:POINT">tagging an article merely to block an article from being posted</a>, especially where the article is of sufficient quality. Other tags (such as yellow level tags, or notices about merge discussions, etc.) are not themselves sufficient to block an item which otherwise has consensus; articles which are moved or merged may have their links in ITN updated through <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ERRORS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ERRORS">WP:ERRORS</a>.</li> <li>That the article is long enough to give readers a full picture of the background of the story we are posting (stubs never get posted, even start-class articles will often get opposed if they are lacking enough context to fully understand the subject)</li> <li>That the article is adequately updated to provide a full picture of the facts and relevance of recent developments. While it is impossible to give a minimum word limit, it is generally inadequate if the entirety of the update is only a sentence, such that no more information is in the update than would be in the blurb.</li></ul> <p>Blurbs are posted in rough chronological order by the date the event occurred. There is usually no effort made to be more specific than the date, and admins will generally not research the exact minute when an event occurred to make sure that multiple events that occurred on the same date are strictly in order. Please do not request that events be re-ordered unless the date is wrong. The number of blurbs varies from time to time, depending on the length of each individual blurb and the relative lengths of other sections on the main page. The goal is to avoid excessive <a href="/wiki/White_space_(visual_arts)" title="White space (visual arts)">white space</a>, especially between the right and left columns, and older blurbs may be periodically removed or added to achieve this. </p><p>Some guidelines for the structuring of blurbs: </p> <ul><li>Blurbs should avoid <a href="/wiki/Sensationalism" title="Sensationalism">sensationalism</a> wherever it makes the entry less accurate, clear or concise (such as addition of "...for the first time in history"). Every listed event can practically be described as a first for a specific location and/or situation.</li> <li>Blurbs should describe events in complete sentences in the present tense. They should generally use the <a href="/wiki/Article_(grammar)" title="Article (grammar)">indefinite article</a> <i>an</i> or <i>a</i> for events rather than <i>the</i> (which is used by sensationalist news to imply that readers should already know about the event).</li> <li>Blurbs should generally avoid comparison to any previous event, such as <i>"Largest in the region since [year]"</i>. Previous events is generally out of scope of the page, and confers a <a href="/wiki/Publication_bias" title="Publication bias">publication bias</a> favoring regions with a low frequency of similar events.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pictures" data-mw-thread-id="h-Pictures-Organization_of_the_ITN_section"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Pictures-Organization_of_the_ITN_section"></span>Pictures<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Pictures-Organization_of_the_ITN_section"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Pictures"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:ITNPICT"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:ITNPICT&redirect=no">WP:ITNPICT</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>The ITN section usually has a captioned picture in the upper right corner.
