==Finland became a member of NATO on Tuesday April 3, 2023==

Finland became a member of NATO on Tuesday according to both this Bloomberg news source:  http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-04/finland-to-join-nato-as-alliance-expands-northwards

:Sauli Niinistö [https://twitter.com/FinMissionNATO/status/1643216593868996608 signed the accession document 10 minutes ago], at 13:00 CET. It becomes official when he hands that document to Jens Stoltenberg about an hour from now.

*<!--{{Comm}}-->:  I understand sir. I now live in Metro Vancouver Canada but I have many family members and relatives in Malaysia and I come from Malaysia...as I said in my wikipedia profile. My family legally immigrated to Canada in 1989. When I first visited Malaysia in June 2017, I was surprised to find out that Malaysia was about 16 hours ahead of Metro Vancouver and the US Pacific coast states of California/Washington State. I guess people ahead of us in the Far East want to "jump the gun" so to speak and make an edit because time is so much further in their time zone.

== Good article reassessment for [[D.C. United]] ==
[[D.C. United]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/D.C. United/1|reassessment page]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 14:10, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

== Native American data ==

I responded to you on my talk page. Maybe we should consult some actual Native American Wikipedia users (such as user Yuchitown) and ask them what do they think about this? [[User:Domen von Wielkopolska|Domen von Wielkopolska]] ([[User talk:Domen von Wielkopolska|talk]]) 21:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

TBH, these reverts appear to fall under [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT]] as no guideline/policy was brought up to explain the removals. Of course, if anyone wants to start a community discussion about them, feel free to proceed. [[User:StefenTower|<span style="color: #1b770d;">'''Stefen <span style="white-space: nowrap;">𝕋ower<sub>s among the rest!</sub></span>'''</span>]] <sup>''[[User talk:StefenTower|Gab]]'' • [[Special:Contributions/StefenTower|Gruntwerk]]</sup> 21:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

:The policy here that I'd say is being violated is that of [[WP:SUMMARY]] and [[WP:NOTDATA]], which was highlighted to the user previously [[User talk:Domen von Wielkopolska#Raw data dumping|on their talk page]], which is the existing discussion where I've replied. Again, I don't see any evidence of an anti-Native American conspiracy here on Wikipedia, I just don't think these Wikipedia articles are the correct place for these additions. Thanks --  [[User:Patrickneil|Patrick Neil]], [[User talk:Patrickneil|<sub>o</sub><small>Ѻ</small><sup>∞</sup>/Talk]] 21:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
::I've usually regarded [[WP:NOTDATA]] meaning to avoid large data dumps rather than summarizing data tables. Also, I'm not accusing anyone of a "conspiracy" but if we have refined ethnic breakdowns for states then there is no reason to discriminate when it comes to RS-confirmed Native American tribe breakdowns. Prose is more optimal but I don't think we have a strong reason to keep out the material ahead of a proposed community discussion.

:::If there is too much data I can always trim the table and include fewer tribes. [[User:Domen von Wielkopolska|Domen von Wielkopolska]] ([[User talk:Domen von Wielkopolska|talk]]) 21:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

== What's up? ==

Why the revert? Why not one word of explanation? [[User:Lfstevens|Lfstevens]] ([[User talk:Lfstevens|talk]]) 02:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

:Sorry, just seemed like strange vandalism to me. In what world do the anecdotal thoughts of a school principal about "the kids today" and their vaping need its own paragraph on an article covering a U.S. state? That wouldn't even belong on the article about the given school, let along the school district, let alone the state the school is found in. Even if it was relevant, the text is an obvious [[WP:CLOP|close paraphrasing]] of that source article. The second paragraph in the Public schools section has a variety of facts and figures. If you can distill those five paragraphs to two sentences or so of concise facts that build off the existing information, then yes, that would be the place for it. Hope that helps! --  [[User:Patrickneil|Patrick Neil]], [[User talk:Patrickneil|<sub>o</sub><small>Ѻ</small><sup>∞</sup>/Talk]] 13:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
