The WikiProject on current events is primarily intended to deal with matters related to Portal:Current events. If you would like to help, please add your name below. The project encourages the selection of normal, civilized events for the current events page, since most events are not crimes or tragic events.

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate! Guide to WikiProjects Directory of WikiProjects

This project was established on 6 April 2006 to improve and standardize articles pertaining to current events. This project specifically looks at the Portal:Current events page and works to increase content in the articles on the page. The project also looks at the portal's entries to determine if they deserve to be in Portal:Current events or placed elsewhere, such as 2023 in the United States, 2023 in the United Kingdom, etc. The project also teaches new editors how to edit (add) to the portal and how to improve articles listed on the portal.

The project works with articles on the Portal:Current events during the week (7 days) they are present in the portal. (Basically before they are archived.) The project doesn't class articles like normal WikiProjects, as we work with articles for a short amount of time.

Technical Note: Due to the fact the the WikiProject only works with articles for a short period of time, the WikiProject "supersedes" (Not really, but mainly in discussions) over WikiProjects during the time where the Current Event WikiProject is active in the article.

The WikiProject of Current Events has a "Current Event Protection" that can be placed on current event articles for a few hours. This is similar to how the Current Event template works for articles, but it protects the article from a deletion due to notability (e.g., lack of deaths, lack of RS, lack of information, etc.) until some more information is released to the public. The protection also allows the WikiProject to monitor information add to the article closely. Please note: This is not an official page protection. This is a WikiProject request to not PROD/speedy delete/Afd the article for 2-3 hours.

The top picture in the Current events portal, "topics in the news", has remained on the same picture of a politician for over a week, due to his minor suspension, is there a reason for this? Why are we bringing attention to his picture? I saw that Walkiria Terradurra, an antifacist italian woman who fought the Nazi's during WW2 died recently,I know the news is supposed to cover only deaths that have a big impact on current affair, however, I would prefer to see her everyday then political adds. Thank You.
