Are bus accidents really global news? Is it because the death toll almost always >20? Seems like there's a crash about every week or more. Not sure if that should be an "ongoing issue" or not. ZCoupon (talk) 00:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's the WP:MINIMUMDEATHS debate all over again. I personally don't believe a bus plunge story is necessarily notable enough to be in "Current events", but higher casualty events very frequently get posted on ITN (where the bar for notability is a lot higher), so it isn't too surprising to see this kind of accidents here. The other issue is that we can't really guess whether it will fit WP:NSUSTAINED or not in advance, and a bus accident might have a lasting effect on the country's driving safety laws, or be forgotten the next week.

Yes, it's just because of the death toll, just like fires, flooding, landslides, mass shootings and other routine news. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:40, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't we usually list major sporting events like this? Desfuria (talk) 01:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the current events page does not follow the dark mode setting as the main page...can it be set to inherit the property? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.132.76.2 (talk) 13:58, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, fixed it myself, thought the page had higher protection than it did. Largely Legible Layman (talk) 23:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Modify Milton's blurb to say that it made landfall in Florida instead of just approaching the state. ✶Quxyz✶ 02:05, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how this has happened, considering the page is fully-protected, but someone has managed to vandalize it:

The text outside the "October 22, 2024" box needs to be removed because it's clear and obvious vandalism. F1Krazy (talk) 10:51, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, never mind, someone already managed to revert it in the time it took me to type this. Can someone delete this since it's no longer needed? F1Krazy (talk) 10:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was caused by vandalism to Portal:Current events/2024 October 21 — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
