Line 1:

Should the previous month's articles be displayed on the [[Current Events]] page? Just saw it today and it looked a bit strange.

: Well... That's what I believe is Standard Practice (actually, given that I'm very often the guy archiving CE, it'd probably be more truthful to say that that is what I do) - to leave a few days of last month's news to be still edited and then folded back into the main month-article. Also, having a blank CE page would look a little odd, IMO.

: Some other editors (well, two, in particular) have expressed... concern that this is perhaps a Bad Thing, in that people won't both folding in the efforts expended, and that it forks our efforts, but I'm not sure whether this is what others think - is it? Should we change how we generally archive CE?

:: I think you're right, makes sense to have recent news displayed. As it's only a few days, I don't think it'll be a major issue to consolidate two versions of the same data. I was just a little bit concerned that it seemed to be at odds with [[Wikipedia:How to archive Current Events]], specifically points 2/4. It's entirely possible that I'm mistaken, however. Either way, it's no big deal.
