This is a template for nominating new candidates for the ''In the News'' section at [[WP:ITNC]]. The template has two main parameters, article and blurb. If they are missing it states no article specified and no blurb specified. The article automatically links to the page. Empty parameters are optional. The full syntax includes a level four heading - 'Nomination header' should be changed to include the name of the article being nominated and if the nomination is for the recent deaths (RD) or ongoing sections.
  
Mr. Musau begun his career in human rights as a volunteer in 1999 with the then Release Political Prisoners (RPP) Pressure Group, now Rights Promotion and Protection (RPP) Centre. Since 2005 to 2011, he was the Executive Coordinator of the organisation, an organisation that was well known in the 1990s in the fight for democracy and human rights in Kenya. During his tenure in RPP, he led, researched and published reports on human rights issues in Kenya, especially on the extrajudicial executions around the then hot-spots in the country. This led to his death threats as his work was seen to be exposing the ills around misrule in the country. He also carried out advocacy events while working closely with other national organisations, policy makers and the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions and other international organisations such as the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and No Peace Without Justice. Mr. Musau has had various training on areas of human rights and conflict management, investigations around violation of international humanitarian law, peace building.

This is a template for nominating new candidates for the In the News section at WP:ITNC. The template has two main parameters, article and blurb. If they are missing it states no article specified and no blurb specified. The article automatically links to the page. Empty parameters are optional. The full syntax includes a level four heading - 'Nomination header' should be changed to include the name of the article being nominated and if the nomination is for the recent deaths (RD) or ongoing sections.

Example usage: {{ITN candidate|article=Example|blurb=Reason why [[Example]] is in the news}}

Parameters

  • article: the main article in the news.
  • article2: a second related article in the news that can be nominated in the same blurb. Rarely used.
  • image: a relevant free-use, not fair-use, image suitable for the main page.
  • blurb: a brief description of why the article is in the news. Does not show with recent deaths/ongoing, use altblurb instead.
  • recent deaths: to propose items for recent deaths.
  • ongoing: to propose/remove items for ongoing.
  • altblurb(#): possible alternative wording of the blurb. Can also be filled with the alternatively proposed blurb, when unsure whether the item should be posted under recent deaths/ongoing, or as a full blurb.
  • sources: links to relevant news sources showing why the nominated article is in the news.
  • updated: changes the 'Article' text to 'Updated article', or 'Article to update' respectively.
  • updated2: per above, if the article2 parameter is used.
  • nominator: automatically filled in with the username of the person nominating the candidate article and story.
  • updaters: which should be filled in when the article to be posted is updated, with the username(s) of the editors who have significantly updated the article. If there is more than one they should be separated by commas.
    • If both nominator and updater are the same person, both fields must still be filled in. The template will return one line with the user credited as both nominator and updater.
  • ITNR: if yes, a comment is added about the item being a recurring item.
  • nom cmt: the nominator's reasoning for nominating the item and can be used to note potential problems with the nomination or article.
  • sign: the nominator's signature (~~~~).

Typical syntax

==== Nomination header ====
{{ITN candidate
| article       = <!-- Do not wikilink -->
| image         = <!-- Name of image only; do not link. Please crop the image before adding, if necessary. -->
| blurb         = <!-- Add your suggestion of the blurb; should be written in simple present tense. -->
| recent deaths = no <!-- (yes/no); instead of specifying a blurb the nomination can be for the "Recent deaths" line -->
| ongoing       = no <!-- (add/rem/no); instead of specifying a blurb the nomination can be for the "Ongoing" line -->
| ITNR          = no <!-- 'No' by default. Only put in 'yes' if the event is listed at WP:ITNR -->
| altblurb      = <!-- An alternative blurb. Leave blank if not needed -->
| altblurb2     = <!-- A second alternative blurb. Leave blank if not needed -->
| sources       = <!-- Include one or more references from verifiable, reliable sources. -->
| updated       = <!-- (yes/no); Leave blank if you aren't sure -->
| nominator     = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- Do NOT change this -->
| creator       = <!-- Editor who created the article, if relevant -->
| updaters      = <!-- Editor(s) who significantly updated the article, separated by commas -->
| nom cmt       = <!-- Add the reason for nominating the item and/or any problems. -->
| sign          = ~~~~ <!-- Do NOT change this -->
}}

Reduced syntax for Recent Deaths

Recent Death nominations do not require all the elements of the full syntax, and thus this smaller subset can be used instead. (Additional candidate template fields can be added as necessary)

==== RD: Nomination header ====
{{ITN candidate
| article       = <!-- Do not wikilink -->
| recent deaths = yes
| sources       = <!-- Include one or more references from verifiable, reliable sources. -->
| updated       = <!-- (yes/no); Leave blank if you aren't sure -->
| nominator     = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- Do NOT change this -->
| updaters      = <!-- Editor(s) who significantly updated the article, separated by commas -->
| nom cmt       = <!-- Add the reason for nominating the item and/or any problems. -->
| sign          = ~~~~ <!-- Do NOT change this -->
}}
