The Red Palace
[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was delete. I'll move the novel to this title. Disambiguation should be at Red Palace or Red Palace (disambiguation), and anyone is free to do that if they think it's necessary. asilvering (talk) 04:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- The Red Palace → Kuwait Red Fort (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Thanks to the "The", a book The Red Palace is the primary topic for this title, so this seems like a WP:REDYES WP:PLA situation. Cremastra (talk) 14:51, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Disambiguate there's also Potala Palace, Lal Mahal, Red Palace and Red Square, 1–7 Constitution Hill, Birmingham; the Saudi one is mentioned at Saud of Saudi Arabia; and see also for Red Fort and Red Castle -- 64.229.88.34 (talk) 23:30, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: created a stub at The Red Palace (novel), likely the primary topic so it should be moved to The Red Palace. No opinion on a disambiguation page at Red Palace (disambiguation). C F A 💬 16:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

- Move The Red Palace (novel) to The Red Palace. Al qasr al ahmar is known at the Red Fort, so naturally disambiguated as Kuwait Red Fort, but it isn't known as "Red Palace" to my knowledge, but more importantly in any RS I can find (and Google: "red palace" +Kuwait). It was definitely a fort: it was never a palace. I've edited the article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:04, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Disambiguate at Red Palace or otherwise move the film, the title without the article goes to a building in Birmingham but I doubt its primary so per WP:DABNAME this would be the correct title for a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:33, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Unlike the similar redirects discussed recently this event is in the future (8 October) so the consensuses there do not necessarily hold. I've also notified the creator of the original page. Thryduulf (talk) 19:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete on or after 9 October, keep until then (unless the event organisers say it's OK to delete earlier). While this shouldn't have been created in the mainspace, it exists and may be on publicity about the event (it has been getting hits) so there is benefit in being as friendly as we can be to prospective editors until after the event. It's unlikely that this will cause any harm between now and then. Thryduulf (talk) 19:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

- Predictions of the end of Twitter → Twitter (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
If a reader typing predictions of t into the search bar (after seeing such an article for Google or Wikipedia) stumbles upon a page like Predictions of the end of X which redirects to X social media platform, they may be given the potentially false impression that the article on X may contain information about such predictions and may end up wasting their time scrolling through the article only to potentially conclude that no such information may be present. Sure, they were "merged" into their respective articles, but their poor usefulness is still a problem. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 17:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep End of Facebook and refine to Facebook#Userbase, the last paragraph of which has content on predictions of the end of Facebook. Weirdly enough I can't actually find anything like that for Twitter, despite the widespread doomposting after Musk bought it, but I would expect it would be worth a sentence or two at least in Twitter under Elon Musk or Acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk. Rusalkii (talk) 19:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep of Facebook one: mentioned but I don't think it's that plausible a search term, nor something it makes sense to link to from other articles, but it does no harm. Delete Twitter one unless mentioned somewhere, in which case (weakly) keep or retarget as appropriate. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 21:09, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Refine the Facebook one per Rusalkii, above. Delete twitter one, it can be recreated if/once information about the many news articles speculating about the end of twitter under Elon is added to an article. Fieari (talk) 01:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Just tagged Predictions of the end of Twitter as {{R from merge}}. Note that Predictions of Facebook's end would also need to be retargeted if the nominated one is. Jay 💬 09:37, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

None of these is mentioned at the target. I checked every one individually and there is nothing on the English Wikipedia any of them could be retargeted to, with search results showing the occasional incidental match but otherwise only turning up this page, as well as a Wikiquote page a couple times, which is normally not considered an appropriate target. Apart from Where's an Egg? and Eh! Steve, none have significant page history, with pages either being created as redirects or WP:BLARED from unsourced stubs. 1234qwer1234qwer4 00:05, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)- I concur, this is... way too much to parse, and runs the risk of turning into a WP:TRAINWRECK if people start picking out specific redirects to move to specific places.

- Last time I had a lot of unbundled nominations on singular redirects people were complaining that I should bundle them, so I guess you just can't please everyone. I specifically did not include any redirects here that had enwiki search results that were remotely reasonable alternatives. 1234qwer1234qwer4 02:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would suggest that a good place to cap it off is around 5-6 redirects per bundle, instead of 'literally all of it all at once' or 'every single redirect gets its own post'. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 02:45, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete all of these unmentioned characters and media topics per nom. None of them are ever going to be mentioned at the target, or at List of Homestar Runner characters (which is almost entirely unsourced), so any chance these get repurposed, WP:TNT would seem to apply. The only thing here that seems even REMOTELY searchable as a regular term is "Marshie", which is only mentioned once as a family member of Linda Purl, but no evidence that this mother of the subject is known monomously. This is fine imo. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:08, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Unlike the vast majority of redirects from draftspace, this was never actually a draft. Portal:Engineering was moved here by a new editor in 2023, and the move was reverted within a day. The resulting redirect is pretty surprising and doesn't seem at all useful, so I think it's better to delete it. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:00, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Hm. First American only links Indigenous peoples of the Americas, though maybe should link Peopling of the Americas as well; if not, then the plural "First Americans" should be considered unambiguous given the other disambiguation page entries. The last redirect points at a series of historical fiction books, which is probably not the primary topic. 1234qwer1234qwer4 02:55, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like all of these should redirect to Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Yuchitown (talk) 21:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- First Americans and The First Americans should both point to Indigenous peoples of the Americas because nothing on the First American dab page could be plural other than "Indigenous peoples of the Americas". First settlers of the Americas should be deleted as it could mean several things, gets no views, and has no incoming wikilinks. First North Americans should definitely stay as is, because it can only mean the book series previously at that title; it is virtually never used to refer to indigenous peoples. Bottom line: retarget the first, keep the second and fourth, and delete the third. Station1 (talk) 06:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support this suggestion. That sounds reasonable. Yuchitown (talk) 10:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Station1: What else could First settlers of the Americas mean? It looks unambiguous to me. jlwoodwa (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Aside from Indigenous peoples of the Americas versus Peopling of the Americas, the first thing that popped into my mind, rightly or wrongly, was European colonization of the Americas. Station1 (talk) 03:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

- Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone → Big Yellow Taxi (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention of this phrase at the target article, no mentions of "always" or "till". This is not a likely term to use when searching for the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 20:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Except that it (along with "they paved paradise, put up a parking lot") is the part that most people remember - the title is buried in a single line towards the end. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- That might be the case: that this string of 16 words is memorable in the context of the song. When people search Wikipedia, they search for titles of encyclopedia articles. If there's not a title, it scans the page contents for search matches. If you put this string in Google, "Big Yellow Taxi" is the first item that immediately pops up. The Genius lyric page, a link to Youtube, Big Yellow Taxi Wikipedia page, it's all right there. But Wikipedia isn't a lyric database. That line doesn't appear at the target page, so people searching for it in quotes will receive zero results. There's no way to know which line of the song is everyone's favorite, so unless there's sourced coverage about the line at the target article, and there's not, it's a confusing redirect without context. (Incidentally, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot actually has coverage at the target page, and exists as a redirect since 2007.) Utopes (talk / cont) 23:12, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

- Those stats include the time is has been being discussed here at RfD, which is not a reliable indicator of the normal level of traffic. Thryduulf (talk) 23:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. This is in the vaunted halls of songs that are never referred to as/remembered by their titles, and always referred to/remembered by their lyrics. When I saw this was redirected to a song called "Big Yellow Taxi", my first thought was, admittedly, that it was an incorrect redirect that needed to be retargeted to something like 'They Paved Paradise' or 'Parking Lot' or something along those lines. (Redrose64's comment was enough to disabuse me of that notion, lol.) As it stands, it's far more likely that a given layperson would think to type this, rather than the actual title. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 01:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- People might use Google for searching "what is the source of this lyric". But Wikipedia is structured around topics and is not a FAQ. There is no topic or any material on Wikipedia called "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone". You say it's the "far more likely name" without evidence, and I'm not convinced that people call this the "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone song" rather than the "Big Yellow Taxi song". Both search terms pull up the Wikipedia page in question when typing into Google. There's no need to bake this lyric and any other remotely thinkable lyric into a redirect, without having some sort of content at the target page to substantiate a target, and give people the information they were looking for. Lyrics can in fact, be topics within prose material. This is the case for They paved paradise to put up a parking lot, which is mentioned specifically. This is demonstrably NOT the case for the title being discussed here. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Lunamann. Valid {{R from lyric}}. mwwv converse∫edits 11:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- In fact it would not be a valid R from lyric, as "R from lyric" states that the title is "from a lyric...to a source that describes the lyric". And the lyric is not described at the target, thereby failing the only criteria to be a valid R from lyric. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect categorisation templates do not define what is and is not a valid redirect, they simply describe the typical categories of redirects. In this case there are probably more uses of {{R from lyric}} that don't describe that lyric than ones that do - I looked at 10 random examples from the category and 3 both mentioned and explained the lyric (although one of them only mentioned part of the lyric), 1 article explained the lyric without mentioning it, 2 mentioned the lyric without explaining it and 4 didn't mention or explain it. None of them really described the lyric. To me this suggests that the template needs rewording to better reflect actual usage. Thryduulf (talk) 11:30, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Thryduulf: I said no such thing. The great thing about RfD is that it is a fantastic spot for people to discuss whether they think a redirect is valid or not! A redirect can be considered "valid" for an infinite number of reasons, and calling a redirect valid is perfectly valid. Thank you for bringing to our attention that a number of lyrics that are tagged as "R from lyric" are NOT actually discussed on target page. I've been well aware of this unfortunate truth also. If it has a sourced mention, it can be considered "described". From your investigation though, 40% of lyrics tagged with that template AREN'T described, so depending on fit, length and suitability, these should also probably get nominated here too.
- But back to your representation of my response at hand. I did not say it wasn't a "valid redirect", just that it's not a "valid Template:R from lyric". Whether or not someone thinks a redirect is valid, only that person knows. But when coming up with reasons to defend "validity", from my POV it's quite tricky for someone to cite the passage of text Template:R from lyric, when the text being cited expressly does not support undescribed, unverified, and seemingly unimportant/non-notable lyrics. Utopes (talk / cont) 14:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Lyrics that are "undescribed", "unverified" and "unimportant/non-notable" are three completely different sets that have limited overlap. Of the ten I investigated, I would support keeping the majority based on my knowledge/what the article said; the others I would need to do more research. {{R from lyric}} is being used to mean "This is a redirect from a song lyric to the song that lyric is taken from, or another directly relevant target" and per policy being descriptive not prescriptive, that is what it should say. Thryduulf (talk) 15:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- I purposely included all three of those descriptions because for tenses and purposes, there is a significant overlap, and should be. Wikipedia's WP:V policy mandates that all material in Wikipedia's mainspace (articlespace) must be verifiable. Redirects are material in mainspace. Per WP:V, in order for something to be verifiable, it must be attributable to a reliable source. If no reliable source exists, it is free to be removed until a source is added. Now, there are millions of songs out there, and millions of lyrics exist just WAITING to be redirect-ified (not exactly). But naturally, not every lyric is up to snuff. Some lyrics, are just random words on a paper, while others have a significant impact on people and culture as a whole. And it's those lyrics, which have had a significant impact, which ARE worth mentioning in articles. How can an "impact" be quantified? Coverage from a reliable source, at least one, to facilitate a mention and be worthwhile. This type of coverage happens ALL the time, so it's generally easy to find. If a lyric is not "important", it won't have coverage. Maybe there's a lyric that people say is "important" but lacks coverage? For those situations, WP:V is king, as we only host material that has been reliably reported on.
- It is also true that "redirects don't have to be held to same notability standards that articles do". And that is correct. It would be a rarity, if not an impossibility for a lyric to meet standalone notability guidelines on Wikipedia. And it doesn't need to. So the bar is REALLY low. But lyrics must be verifiable, with the aforementioned verification accessible in mainspace. Most lyrics do, and the important ones have been mentioned, covered and sourced on Wikipedia (appropriately so!) But my challenge is that this lyric in this discussion is not important. Importance according to whom, Lunamann saying it's important? I haven't found any reliable sources covering this lyric anywhere, so I'm disinclined to believe it's truly in the "vaunted halls", and the onus is on someone that believes it to be worthwhile to find a reliable source to substantiate a mention, to assist readers in verifying that their search term is correct, because the existence of [literally nothing related to these sixteen words] at the target page is not doing it for them in the article's current state. The existence of a "redirect targeting the song" is not verification. A reliable source at the song article is.
- My definition of descriptions being used: Undescribed = unverified -> apparently not important, if nobody's thought to add it yet, & as long as there is no verification or discussion at the target page. Which changes once a mention (description) and source (verification) is added, signifying importance. Wikipedia is a work in progress, so there's no need to act on any of this RIGHT NOW. There's always next month or next year or next 5 years. But in the meantime, the redirect not verified, not described, & looks to me to be not important (obviously some people disagree with "importance" bit, as people are !voting keep it as a redirect, yet nobody here seems to be up for adding coverage, so shrug. It's still undescribed and unverified in mainspace.) Utopes (talk / cont) 20:45, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Thryduulf (talk) 15:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect categorisation templates do not define what is and is not a valid redirect, they simply describe the typical categories of redirects. In this case there are probably more uses of {{R from lyric}} that don't describe that lyric than ones that do - I looked at 10 random examples from the category and 3 both mentioned and explained the lyric (although one of them only mentioned part of the lyric), 1 article explained the lyric without mentioning it, 2 mentioned the lyric without explaining it and 4 didn't mention or explain it. None of them really described the lyric. To me this suggests that the template needs rewording to better reflect actual usage. Thryduulf (talk) 11:30, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- In fact it would not be a valid R from lyric, as "R from lyric" states that the title is "from a lyric...to a source that describes the lyric". And the lyric is not described at the target, thereby failing the only criteria to be a valid R from lyric. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:32, 8 October 2024 (UTC)- Delete. Yeah, the actual Japanese names of these games are Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon: Aka no Kyuujotai and Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon: Ao no Kyuujotai. (Although you're also correct that it's a little more correct to write it as "Danjon" rather than "Dungeon".) Given WP:MOVEREDIRECT, the correct move is to delete the malformed redirects and create the following instead:
Pokémon Fushigi no Danjōn: Aka no Kyuujotai
Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon: Aka no Kyuujotai
Pokemon Fushigi no Danjon: Aka no Kyuujotai
Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon: Aka no Kyuujotai
Pokémon Fushigi no Danjōn: Ao no Kyuujotai
Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon: Ao no Kyuujotai
Pokemon Fushigi no Danjon: Ao no Kyuujotai
Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon: Ao no Kyuujotai

Disambiguation should be at The Enigmatic Man depending on the ptopic, but 2 of the 3 examples use this name so that seems like a good guess. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:44, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

- Rio Este (desambiguacion) → East River (disambiguation) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I'm not sure this redirect is plausible by WP:RFOREIGN's standards...nor do any of the entries on the target seem to be located in any Spanish-speaking countries. It may have been around since January 2009, but it hasn't been getting very many pageviews lately. Because of these reasons, I'm not sure if we still need this today. Regards, SONIC678 06:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, this doesn't seem particularly relevant, [3] I'm guessing it's happening because of some sort of a glitch. For example, when I type in "Rio Este" into the search box, the first item is the normal redirect. But when I type in "rio este", the first item is this weird one.

- Keep - whether or not this spelling is correct (and noting that expecting a single correct spelling of a 13th century European figure's name is somewhat anachronistic), it is attested in this text and thus is a plausible search term. I don't see any indication that this is ambiguous or otherwise potentially harmful. This alternate spelling is made further plausible by the fact that in Polish phonology (and more generally across Slavic languages), the letter "o" is often articulated as a sound corresponding more closely to "a" in western European languages. signed, Rosguill talk 16:01, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

- Weak Keep Gets somewhere around 5 hits a year, plus or minus one or two. The plausibility of this typo revolves around accidentally hitting the capslock key at the same time they hit shift for the second word.

No mention of "Bous", "ssh" much less "Boussh" at the target article. Apparently this is a piece of Star Wars trivia. I can't tell whether this is supposed to be an alter ego name?

This redirect otherwise leaves people guessing what this means or who this is, or if it's a lightsaber sound effect. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Princess Leia was wearing Boussh's outfit when she infiltrated Jabba's palace at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. It could be added to the article and the redirect kept, or it could be deleted as the detail is too trivial, and the name "Boussh" is not stated in the film. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:23, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - It looks like that whole section of the article is in major need of expansion (I've now tagged it as such), but the term does appear to be valid and this is the unambiguous target, so keep. Fieari (talk) 07:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Per #7 October 2023 below, cc Utopes. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Genuinely shocked to see this one here, as this doesn't appear in Category:Redirects to portal space, which I believed to be automatically updating by any titles in mainspace that point to titles in portalspace. Utopes (talk / cont) 15:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately barely any rcats are applied automatically. Maybe they should, since there is definitely at least a five-digit number of them that are missing the tags. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:11, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't think this one was tied to an rcat, I was under the impression that the category was detecting a page in the 0th namespace (main), targeting a page in the 100th namespace (portal), and just auto-populating from there. Thanks for the heads up re: this, then. Utopes (talk / cont) 15:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

- @1234qwer1234qwer4:, do you know how many others like this are out there? I definitely misspoke in my previous nomination. I was thinking this in the previous nomination, but honestly, it might be nice to create a category for "date redirects" to easily monitor and maintain the targets of these and similar titles, but I wasn't sure the total scope and how many of such redirects exist at this time. Utopes (talk / cont) 15:07, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Utopes, I've bundled the remaining four redirects into this nomination. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:11, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Upon looking through the histories of these and other discussions, I am not surprised all of these have been nominated at RfD before, including from myself. As an example, for May 5th 2020, which was discussed here in this 2021 discussion, Tavix was involved in the RfD, and cited 06/06/06 as being a "past precedent" of targeting Portal pages. However 06/06/06 no longer points at the Portalspace (it targets 2006#June), so the argument of precedent in that situation falls flat. The other early discussion in 2017 for October 10, 2010, was closed as NO consensus, implying that it is not a consensus. (This situation was no consensus to target away from Portal space, but was later followed by a subsequent RfD in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 July 1#April 9, 2011, where there was no consensus to target TO portal space, which cited and was cited by the previous "no consensus" result in both.)
- For the remaining two dates in January 2023, I nominated them here under the premise that there is no mainspace coverage for these dates, and wished for them to be deleted. Jay requested my comment towards Tavix's proposal of retargeting to Portal space, (which I would have otherwise disagreed with due to no substantial & lasting precedent of individual dates sticking around for long at portal targets) and 14 minutes later the discussion was closed by Rosguill as retarget. The fact that these have all been to RfD before on multiple occasions each implies that there is some level of disagreement and NOT a set-in-stone precedent on what to do, especially when titles such as January 6th, 2021 (which, upon re-examining, actually has a different target than January 6 2021, and 1/6/21 and 1/6/2021), which (all) imply to readers that typing in a date into the mainspace search-bar will result in a mainspace outcome.

- Retarget to January 2003. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 20:26, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- As for the others; they should also be retargeted to their respective year/month articles in main space. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 20:29, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep all (and create the rest!). Anyone searching these dates will want to know what happened on that date and the Portal gives that information. -- Tavix (talk) 02:56, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- I find it more likely that someone going to Wikipedia to search a date is likely trying to find encyclopedic content in mainspace, related to the date they inputted into Wikipedia. Not a list of WikiProject-handpicked stories that happened that day. If someone wants to know "what happened on January 2nd, 2003", they'd ask a Google Search for a more summative assessment. What do you mean by "creating the rest"? Utopes (talk / cont) 05:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- The portal does in fact link to encyclopedic content in mainspace related to that day. I'm not sure why you think a Google search would give a more summative assessment, that's rather-famously the major downside to Google searches—they dump an assortment of results that may or may not be useful. (So much so that Google has begun to give AI summaries in an effort to be more useful to someone who wants a quick answer...) On the other hand, a curated list of encyclopedic events is much more useful to someone wanting to know what happened on a given day. And the fact that they are curated by a 'project' of Wikipedia editors is even better because these are people who are experienced with this task. -- Tavix (talk) 13:05, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep per Tavix and other discussions. No reason to avoid referenced, directly relevant content in a reader-facing namespace that readers won't be able find otherwise. J947 ‡ edits 21:04, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per above, and I would not mind (perhaps would even encourage) if a bot was run to create a similar redirect for every day we have in that portal. Fieari (talk) 23:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
