Not done. Your request is unclear, but your edit history suggests you wish to create a page on a non-notable individual. This is not relevant to the current events portal.-gadfium 20:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removed sensational Moscow beheading story

Removed the 2016 Moscow beheading [1] entry as it is a sensational one-event story. Article brought to AfD is likely to be deleted. -- Fuzheado | Talk 15:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

did u heard about oromo genocide in Ethiopia? if on one heard about it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:B086:EF0:38E5:FEEA:9A85:7AC2 (talk) 11:44, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We do not appear to have an article on the protests in Ethiopia other than a brief mention at Oromo people#recent history. This does appear to be a subject which would be suitable for more detailed coverage, although this portal is the wrong place to do it. The term "genocide" should be used with caution; see WP:LABEL.-gadfium 19:09, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Time stop

Why does the page say the current time is "Time: 14:57 UTC | Day: 7 April" and the news are not up to date? If you click "edit" on the individual day, you can see new pieces of news have been added, but they don't appear on this page. 89.176.248.75 (talk) 17:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
