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
