    Video game advertising

    Why is pokemon go listed as a major ongoing event even though there is not a single entry for it in current events? 71.12.71.15 (talk) 01:30, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    The entries of {{In the news}} are decided at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates and displayed on Main Page. {{In the news}} also happens to be displayed at top of Portal:Current events but the daily pages there are edited independently and the editors may make other choices.

    What are the notability requirements for the Current events Portal?

    Today, an item was added and deleted from the current events portal. I was about to delete it myself before somebody else did. Are there any objective criteria for current events notability requirements? If not, doesn't it become rather easy for individuals or groups to push their agenda? --Gerrit CUTEDH 14:34, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    As of now it has been re-added. Notability issues aside, is Breitbart considered a reliable source for news? Do we have other (more) reliable sources that have covered the story?--Dvl007-TheRaven (talk) 18:35, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Political bias in posted articles

    Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that there have been several article titles posted about the two U.S. presidential candidates that are either completely taken out of the source article's context or deliberately worded to confuse the reader. Specifically, this occurs with articles about Donald Trump. I realize that everyone has different political leanings, which is fine. However, can we PLEASE keep our politics to ourselves? This is supposed to be neutral, and when someone posts an article basically titled "Donald Trump asks Russia to hack the U.S.", its very misleading. Especially considering the source article/video was completely taken out of context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSauceCC (talk • contribs) 19:56, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
