Wikipedia current events page was actually one of the reasons for creating this project!

I was disagreeing a lot with their selection of news, for example one of their recent entries is:

"Two people are killed and eleven others are injured when a bus flips on its side on a highway near Prenzlau, northeast of Berlin, Germany."

My system gave it a significance score of 1.8, so similar news should never get to the main page: https://www.newsminimalist.com/articles/two-dead-and-four-in...

I hadn't seen this comment and just wrote pretty much a mirror one - Wikipedia overly focuses on one-off accidents and events, rather than news with long-term implications.

Does your service do a good job at thinking longer term? Would you have an example of this?
