Thread:Comments:Tree car crash kills two in Oxfordshire, England/WHY DO UK'ERS KEEP POSTING NON-RELEVANT INFORMATION ON THE CURRENT EVENTS PAGE?/reply (21)

Just a comment from an uninvolved user (if the IP address is still around after all this): There is nothing in our policies that prevents us from writing about current events (See in particular the content guidelines, which basically say "News must be relevant" - which is generally interpreted broadly - no mention prohibiting local stories as long as they are explained properly for a global audience). I'm personally of the opinion that we should focus more on major international stories - as that likely would attract more readers - but we still allow local reporting.
