Typhoon Rusa was the most powerful typhoon to strike South Korea in 43 years. It was the 21st JTWC tropical depression, the 15th named storm, and the 10th typhoon of the 2002 Pacific typhoon season. It developed on August 22 from the monsoon trough in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, well to the southeast of Japan. For several days, Rusa moved to the northwest, eventually intensifying into a powerful typhoon. On August 26, the storm moved across the Amami Islands of Japan, where Rusa left 20,000 people without power and caused two fatalities. Across Japan, the typhoon dropped torrential rainfall peaking at 902 mm (35.5 in) in Tokushima Prefecture.

(Net support = 5; Against = 14.286%) (Group 1)

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate", and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings. The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki, which The Independent called, "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".

The Adoration of the Magi is a tondo, or circular painting, of the Adoration of the Magi assumed to be that recorded in 1492 in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence as by Fra Angelico. It dates from the mid-15th century and is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Most art historians think that Filippo Lippi painted more of the original work, and that it was added to some years after by other artists, as well as including work by assistants in the workshops of both the original masters. It has been known as the Washington Tondo and Cook Tondo after Herbert Cook, and this latter name in particular continues to be used over 50 years after the painting left the Cook collection.

It is similar to the Spiti breed of Himachal Pradesh, but is better adapted to work at high altitude. Like the Spiti, it shows similarities to the Tibetan breeds of neighbouring Tibet. It is of medium size, and is often grey in colour. The breed is considered endangered, as there are only a few hundred alive today, and a conservation programme has been started at Padum, Zanskar, in the Kargil district of Ladakh.

Bhagavata Mela is a classical Indian dance that is performed in Tamil Nadu, particularly the Thanjavur area. It is choreographed as an annual Vaishnavism tradition in Melattur and nearby regions, and celebrated as a dance-drama performance art. The dance art has roots in a historic migration of practitioners of Kuchipudi, another Indian classical dance art, from Andhra Pradesh to the kingdom of Tanjavur.

The term Bhagavata, state Brandon and Banham, refers to the Hindu text Bhagavata Purana. Mela is a Sanskrit word that means "gathering, meeting of a group" and connotes a folk festival. The traditional Bhagavata Mela performance acts out the legends of Hinduism, set to the Carnatic style music.

The doorway effect is a known psychological event where a person's short-term memory declines when passing through a doorway moving from one ___location to another when it would not if they had remained in the same place. People experience this effect by forgetting what they were going to do, thinking about, or planning upon entering a different room. This is thought to be due to the change in one's physical environment, which is used to distinguish boundaries between remembered events: memories of events encountered in the present environment are more accessible than those beyond it.

Plant blindness is an informally-proposed form of cognitive bias, which in its broadest meaning, is a human tendency to ignore plant species. This includes such phenomena as not noticing plants in the surrounding environment, not recognizing the importance of plant life to the whole biosphere and to human affairs, a philosophical view of plants as an inferior form of life to animals and/or the inability to appreciate the unique features or aesthetics of plants. Related terms include plant‐neglect, zoo-centrism, and zoo‐chauvinism.

The Indian agriculture acts of 2020, often termed the Farm Bills, were three acts initiated by the Parliament of India in September 2020. The Lok Sabha approved the bills on 17 September 2020 and the Rajya Sabha on 20 September 2020. The President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, gave his assent on 27 September 2020.

The laws would have deregulated a system of government-run wholesale markets, allowing farmers to sell directly to food processors, but farmers feared that this would result in the end of government-guaranteed price floors, thereby reducing the prices they would receive for their crops. This inspired protests against the new acts.

  1. Despite its relevance, I am afraid that this article is too short, stub-like (missing too much relevant content) and the topic is way too prone to constant updates. Not worth to translate it now to X other Wikipedias if in 1 year we will be expanding such an obsolescence that we cannot track in the source language (the language where 90% of the possible sources may come from). Cannot support it when we have music-related and cultural articles much more stable, of better trajectory and with more translating value from ca.wiki. Cheers, Xavier Dengra (MESSAGES) 15:13, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Xavier Dengra: I don't know if responding is accepted; this isn't about your vote but about where you say ...if in 1 year we will be expanding such an obsolescence that we cannot track in the source language - the English is faulty that this doesn't make sense, but you seem to be suggesting that in a year either the band or the Catalan language will be obsolete? That seems presumptive and insulting. Kingsif (talk) 20:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Kingsif: You most likely misinterpreted or took out of context my comment. The article will be clearly obsolete (not the band, obviously...), as the articles in both Catalan and English are already missing very relevant new context and their success as they are currently written. Despite what you think I meant, it would be a pity to translate such a great band into so many languages as it is now reflected in ca.wiki, especially since we are currently experiencing its peak growth and there are so many increasing news about them in (mostly) Catalan-speaking sources -that other Wikipedia versions may miss if it is not due to coming from a (good, stable) translation. Therefore, the best thing is to postpone this translation until ca.wiki has a much updated, comprehensive, organized and tracked article on them, to be able to deliver to other languages something that won't miss (let's say 90%) of the events and media coverage of them (now is already 30-40%) in few months or a year. Would you translate a train station article from a minoritized language version if it's still half way being built and the source language still does not reflect even the ongoing works? A bit the same here. Xavier Dengra (MESSAGES) 08:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Xavier Dengra: Ah, from The article will be clearly obsolete (not the band, obviously...), as the articles in both Catalan and English are already missing very relevant new context I see the issue - "obsolete" is generally taken to mean "extinct", you just meant "outdated". Thank you for clarifying. To the point, an article can cover the most important aspects while being brief, and this can be useful to give a background in many languages; it is much less likely people will put effort into properly translating lengthy articles.

The 1980 Plesetsk launch pad disaster was the explosion of a Vostok-2M rocket carrying a Tselina-D satellite during fueling at Site 43 of the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Mirny at 19:01 local time (16:01 GMT) on 18 March 1980, two hours and fifteen minutes before the intended launch time. 44 people were killed in the initial fire and four more soon died in the hospital from burns. It is the second deadliest space exploration related disaster in history.

Water scarcity in Africa is predicted to reach dangerously high levels by 2025 when was estimated that about two-thirds of the world's population may suffer from fresh water shortage. The main causes of water scarcity in Africa are physical and economic scarcity, rapid population growth, and climate change. Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. Although Sub-Saharan Africa has a plentiful supply of rainwater, it is seasonal and unevenly distributed, leading to frequent floods and droughts. Additionally, prevalent economic development and poverty issues, compounded with rapid population growth and rural-urban migration have rendered Sub-Saharan Africa as the world's poorest and least developed region.
