News outlets selection

Hi, how do we choose the "right" news outlet? On the news of 21 November 2024, I see an entry about a Chinese cargo ship stopped by Danish navy in relation to baltic submarine cable sabotage [1]. At first glance, it is pretty interesting, but then I noticed the source, EurAsia Daily, a Russian news outlet. Although claming to be "unbiased", there is an obvious conflict of interest, and I wouldn't use it as the source of this kind of news. Hence the question/s: - Should we keep the news on waiting to add another source as soon as it available? - Should we pull the news waiting to add another source as soon as it available? - Should we totally disregard the news because it is too specific and we cannot establish its authenticity?

Maybe there are some guidelines, although I could not find them. Please advice on how to proceed. If this section is unnecessary, please delete it.

Broken archives

As noted by Jtayl132 (talk · contribs) at Portal talk:Current events/March 2016, some of the monthly archives are currently displaying no news, because the pages have dropped into Category:Pages where post-expand include size is exceeded. Part of the problem is the switch from {{Current events header}} to {{Current events}}, as each day's news is passed into the header template and counts towards the post-expand size. But I've managed to fix Portal:Current events/March 2016 just by applying subst: to the call to Portal:Current events/Month Inclusion (diff).

Any comments, before I do that to the other 30+ broken archives? -- John of Reading (talk) 09:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Four of the archives are still in the error category, but they are displaying much more of their content than before. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(More) I happened to notice that {{Current events}} has undocumented "top" and "bottom" parameters which can reduce the post-expand include size of particular subpages. I've used that on just enough subpages to clear those four archives out of the error category. -- John of Reading (talk) 15:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone add a protection on the section for december 5th?

Can someone add a protection on the section for December 5th? An IP keeps trying to alter the addition that states that the Amnesty International accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza by removing the genocide mention and replacing it with war crimes when the article's title clearly states that Amnesty believes Israel to be committing genocide.
