Bridge collapse[edit]
Was going to add a wigo about it, but had an edit conflict. And yes, it is the same bridge from the greatest show of all time.[1] GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 11:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I question it's inclusion, period. It is neither missional and not much interest to non-Americans. KarmaPolice (talk) 14:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's actually being reported internationally as it's being recognised as a huge tragedy and not something we see very often at all. I think it's fine to include it. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Natsuki Marx ♥ (talk) 17:52, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
That one Guardian article about True Blue[edit]
The summary on the main WIGO page missed out a crucial detail - The app isn't actually going to be released. The headline even reads "Tories planned to make millions from members’ data with ‘True Blue’ app", implying the app never left the ground in the first place. I've edited it to avoid confusion.

Greta Thunberg arrested again[edit]
Yesterday Greta Thunberg was arrested in Hague at an environmentalist protest for blocking a highway. It should be in WIGO. 🇷🇸 Serbian Arbiter (What would you have your arbiter do?) 15:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Highlighting certain countries[edit]
"European UnionGay LGBT+ think tank ILGA Europe release its Rainbow Map for 2024. Top five countries are; Malta, Iceland, Belgium, Spain & Denmark. Bottom five are; Russia, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Armenia & Belarus. Ireland came 15th and the UK came 16th out of 49 countries."
Is there any reasons for the extra mentioning of UK and Ireland? — Unsigned, by: 2a0a:a549:20a1:0:f177:a8db:b3ce:f314 / talk / contribs

Taiwan has new president and the speech is chilling[edit]
'Stop threatening Taiwan', its new president William Lai tells China--John123521 (talk) 12:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Why is it chilling? That he's calling it out? Have you not heard about how China is trying to claim the Taiwan Strait as 'internal waters' and thus stop foreign [esp military] ships going through it? Or bullying 'patrols' around Taiwanese islands? KarmaPolice (talk) 15:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
