It would differ * by making the existence of such page(s) more obvious and more easy to access * by reminding the 'pedians to go there (red "edit me" link!); I myself haven't visited the "current events" in a while * by making it more prominent, more edits should occur, covering more topics, thus making the 'pedia more complete

I remember vaguely we tried some sort of "wikipedia newspaper" some time ago, but it didn't work. Today I saw a similar attempt on the German
'pedia,
where you should add today's date each day on a special page and write
about
current events from the news.
This might actually work on wikipedia.com, if we'd automatically add a
link
to "today" (like [[2002-03-22]]) in the sidebar. It would draw attention
and
remind people there's something they might want to write about. That way, we'd get at least links to many current topics, and on wikipedia, links
tend
to turn into articles ;)
How is this different from http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Current+events
