Bolding

Currently the page is; "On 29 December 2013, a suicide bombing took place at the Volgograd-1 station in the city of Volgograd, in the Volgograd Oblast" however it should start of like, "The 2013 Volgograd station bombing was a suicide bombing which happened on 29 December 2013 and took place at the Volgograd-1 station in the city of Volgograd, in the Volgograd Oblast" Just a thought, however the message states 'Per MOS:BOLDTITLE and WP:SBE, neither the article's title nor related text appears in bold'. ///EuroCarGT 17:38, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the aforementioned guideline section and supplementary page, MOS:BOLDTITLE and WP:SBE. —David Levy 17:46, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@David Levy: Okay, never knew that! That text was quite confusing! ///EuroCarGT 18:30, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So instead you jerkoffs do nothing at all to bold the relevant parts? That's better? Brilliant.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:36, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Kintetsubuffalo: I didn't edit the page. ///EuroCarGT 04:59, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New attack

Should we make this article into the December 2013 Volgograd attacks or have separate articles for the two attacks? Iselilja (talk) 05:48, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the {{current}} template, quoting its documentation. As explained there, "as an advisory to editors, the template may optionally be used in those extraordinary occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day". "It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, hundreds of thousands of articles would have this template, with no informational consequence."

Iselilja undid my edit, with the summary "There has been a new attack now, that maybe should be incorporated in this article; please see talk"

I'm confused as to how this concern, expressed above, has any bearing on whether the {{current}} template should appear. Can you please elaborate, Iselilja? —David Levy 06:02, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
