Significance, notability, relevance, usability? It has it all! Wakari07 (talk) 19:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't significant news and just because Reuters is the news source doesn't automatically make the event so, the article is comprised of three sentences which reports on a tweet that is issued by somebody who isn't the foreign minister and isn't covered by even the German media.

Why German? Why not Polynesian sources or Spa? I propose a respected UK source for a US-network message from a German very senior diplomat. Do you want me to ignore that Germany is nowadays about the US' most significant ally? Wakari07 (talk) 20:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC) Do you want me to state why and how especially Germany expects/expected a lot from the United States with regard to its relations with Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Congo, Yemen, ignorance, just to name a few?

Your comment doesn't make sense, I am not saying that Germany is not an important ally of the US, what I am saying is that the actions of this German representative is not significant enough to have it listed as a news item. You can escalate the content dispute resolution process by requesting a third opinion on this if you can't rebut the points that I raised but want to resist the urge to edit war again.

So if Germany isn't significant, Steve Goldstein wasn't either I guess. More to follow? Wakari07 (talk) 04:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What are you even writing about? Wingwraith (talk) 04:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind. Shinzo Abe took over to illustrate what others think of it. Wakari07 (talk) 13:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
