Portal talk:Current events/October 2003

From October 31:

FBI statistics confirm that New York is now one of the safest big cities in the USA.

Ok, speaking as a New Yorker, so what? "One of"? This sentence is largely uninformative. If it's the safest, this should say so, if not, I see no reason to have the entry at all. --Charles A. L. 16:21, Nov 14, 2003 (UTC)


 * Tend to agree. Why not just delete it? -- Viajero 20:26, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)


 * 'Cause I'm not bold. It's gone now. --Charles A. L. 21:04, Nov 14, 2003 (UTC)

Unprotect?
This page is protected for over two weeks. Maybe it's time to unprotect? uriber 12:45, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Chaos!?
A recent Slashdot article linked to a site that showed this as the third-most contested article, after Jesus and Hitler. Strange though it is--are we sure this should be unprotected?
 * Look at the history. I think they must have bad data. Alexa411 18:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Just because it doesn't fit our expectations doesn't mean it's wrong... 142.103.250.40heeeraldo
 * I see what has happened -- this page has the history of what used to be Current Events before it was changed into a transcluded template page. So it has edits going back to 22 December 2001. It probably only has about 250 edits since the whole way Current Events was run changed. Evil Monkey - Hello 21:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
