Are the following three situations examples of the preparedness paradox, as the article defines it?

...damages attributed to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster could have been easily reduced if the reactor and sarcophagus had been re-ensured with additional concrete and steel bars prior to the accident.
Levees are structures which run parallel to rivers and are meant to offer protection from flooding. Paradoxically, their construction leads to a reduced awareness of and preparation for floods or breaches.
Even though the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant was closer to the epicenter of the earthquake, it withstood the cataclysm because of the preparations made by the facility's owners. On the other hand, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant suffered heavy damage because of a lack of preparation due to the perception of less risk.

Talk:Italian Social Movement

Looking at reliable sources, how should we describe the political position of the Italian Social Movement?

Option 1: Right-wing
Option 2: Far-right
Option 3: Right-wing to far-right

Please choose one of the three options, preferably together with a motivation and reliable sources that explicitly support the party's political position. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 13:17, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The situation. On March 1st the governing bodies of tennis (ATP,WTA,ITF) told the world that no Russian or Belarus player can play a tennis tournament under their nation's flag because of the attack on Ukraine by Russian forces. All tournaments agreed and since that time you will see no player nationality listed at any tournament. No problems there. However, authorities did not say they would remove all nationality from rankings, nor did it say that we should erase the nationality of a player for other reasons. The ATP website software seems to have a problem in that it removed all traces of nationality of Russian/Belarus players... everything. Daniil Medvedev's bio shows no trace of his Russian flag. Rankings from 2020 also show no nationality. This is a software error and makes missing nationality from rankings on the ATP and WTA unreliable at the moment.

If we use other sources for rankings we see a different picture. ESPN rankings, FOX rankings, Washington Post rankings, Tennis Abstract rankings... these all show a nationality... as they should. Individual tournaments, which we can source, are a different matter. Nationality is not allowed for the tournaments and those affected players are not allowed to enter team events.

These ranking templates will be affected:

Joint governing body March 1st statement is right here

These templates are used in multiple articles and inside other templates, and readers have complained about missing nationalities where I have no good answer for them. Since I see no large discussion of this, and another editor and I are at a complete impasse, I have started this RfC here (since it affects multiple tennis articles).

From what I've observed this year, the IIHF has chosen to recognise Czech national teams as being under the name Czechia. I don't know how to open up an RM (or multiple RMs) for this matter & so I'm going the RFC route. GoodDay (talk) 20:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
