Scheduled event (July 17 - Planned launch of NASA's Mars 2020 mission) contradicts with cited source[edit]

On NASA's website it is said that the launch window is scheduled between July the 22th and August the 11th, yet on Scheduled it is written that the launch is scheduled for July the 17th. I want to fix that, but I don't know if the launch window should be written on there or a single date, since every other event on that article is a single date.

Death of Chadwick Boseman[edit]

The statement that "2020 has been a highly disruptive year that has been heavily defined by the COVID-19 pandemic and Death of Chadwick Boseman, which has led to global social and economic disruption, mass cancellations and postponements of events, worldwide lockdowns, worldwide protests, and the largest economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s." seems inappropriate at best, and an act of vandalism at worst.

There is no equivalence between the COVID-19 pandemic and the Death of Chadwick Boseman. And that's aside from the fact that none of the things it "has led to" can actually be attributed to his death.

Please remove.

Can you add this event? February 13 – The McClatchy newspaper chain files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Link Thank you 2601:205:C002:D1E0:51A9:AB3F:2ECB:67D9 (talk) 03:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. Not convinced this meets criteria, the paper chain hasn't closed. Feel free to discuss further here though Cannolis (talk) 05:36, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, this should be added to an article because even though it is US, it mostly affects other countries and affect the quality of the year, so this should be added to this page. It is fact that it should include shift to digital and falling circulation. And how does it not meet the consensus? --2601:205:C002:D1E0:D11:AA22:BE7:46C1 (talk) 05:52, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how it affects other countries. Deb (talk) 07:58, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It affects other countries because the link that contain local newspapers, also contains news from international cities like London. Visit this link over there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McClatchy 2601:205:C002:D1E0:B0B7:360C:595E:DD5E (talk) 08:15, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing I did was look at that, but I don't think that it establishes the level of international significance you're suggesting. There are plenty of news services in other countries that cover US news but that doesn't establish international notability either. Deb (talk) 08:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does this mean that this should be added in this article? 2601:205:C002:D1E0:B0B7:360C:595E:DD5E (talk) 08:31, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So far, two people think it shouldn't and one (you) thinks it should. Deb (talk) 08:50, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you all add local and state events on this article? Thank you. 204.129.232.191 (talk) 14:47, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It depends whether they have international notability. Deb (talk) 15:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
