Only in America?[edit]

Resolved
 – The news comes from WikiNews, not here.

As of January 6, the only news featured here are about American sports and sportspeople. Aren't there news from the rest of the world worth to be mentioned?--Nitsansh 02:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern, but when I started updating this page on a regular basis, the page hadn't been updated in literally MONTHS. So I keep updating it with the most current & relevant stories from American Sports. If you or anyone else out there have any international sports news that seems noteworthy, please feel free & put it up there. I did try to keep it somewhat international at some point, putting the retirement of Ian Thorpe in there. I don't pay enough attention to international sports to be able to adequately update it.

That's a problem common to many curent events articles in Wikipedia. Basically, Wikipedia isn't a news bulletin. Besides that, we have Portal: Current events/Sports which documents sport events on a daily basis, so I see no need to have sports news in the main sports portal. That also seem to concentrate too much on American team sports. It's hard to put the blame on American editors, because that's the news they get in the media. --Nitsansh 06:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(Outdent) This news is being imported from the WikiNews project; you'll need to take it up with them. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 01:53, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
