• Comment. @Keepcalmandchill: I doubt this article qualifies as new under DYK rules because the content is not original content but is copied from other articles. I would also argue that the original hook should use the word "processes" rather than "events". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:54, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

• It's not clear if the material was copied from the respective articles. But grouping together these topics appears to be WP:SYNTH. It looks like there's still a lot more to come under History by region. This doesn't really qualify for DYK. Yoninah (talk) 19:50, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Notice of group resource

I would like to invite any interested editors here to join the task force for Contemporary History. One of our core goals is to highlight and promote the coverage of contemporary history as its own distinct area here at Wikipedia.

We differ from a simple effort to cover current events, in that we seek to provide the editing community with resources that would allow it to provide broad and comprehensive coverage of articles on contemporary history as a broad topical field, rather than simply on individual current events as they may occur.

to that end, we have set up articles such as 2020s in political history, which allow the whole editing community to adopt a broad scope in keeping wikipedia updated with broad historical trends, topics and events, as they occur, but also as they become relevant to the field of history overall. I hope that sounds helpful and worthwhile to you. you are welcome to join us in any way, or to offer any input or ideas that you may wish. we welcome your input. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 14:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
