The Bush administration files a case against the European Union for providing illegal subsidies to aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Andros 1337 01:04, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Last related Current events item from 5 May. No info on Cornelius in the Irenaios article (or anywhere in WP as far as I can tell) and, as the blurb is written, there should be a link to Metropolitan Cornelius. - BanyanTree 00:41, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The Current events link had gotten removed by vandalism. It's back now with a link to the BBC article. I've also updated this headline and added a Cornelius stub article. --A.S. Damick 02:36, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
Added, with some slimming down. - BanyanTree 03:22, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A massive power outage produced a blackout in the Russian capital of Moscow. Authorities are still investigating the matter and working on solving the problem.
Not posted. Page with bolded link was not updated. If it's just one city affected, it's local news. -- PFHLai 23:55, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
Democrats will only filibuster judicial nominees in "extraordinary circumstances" under a compromise agreement forged in the United States Senate to avert a showdown on the Nuclear option.
Can't post this item as is. The article has no mention of the "deadly rioting" nor the "harsh criticism from governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan ..." Also, the article Guantánamo Bay Qur'an desecration allegations has a {{cleanup}} tag on it, making it a poor candidate to get featured on the MainPage. It's a good topic. Please "clean up" and beef up that article. Thanks. -- PFHLai 10:16, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
Almost added this myself, but did not. 'Coz IMO, the article is too stubby. -- PFHLai 10:43, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
The Parliament of Kuwait, in a 35-23 vote with one abstention, legalises women's suffrage for all women ages 21 and up, subject to Islamic law. It will take effect for the 2007 Parlimentary Election. --Kitch 18:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Pope Benedict XVI waives the five-year waiting period normally required before somebody's beatification process may begin and starts the process for his predecessor, John Paul II on the 24th anniversary of his assasination attempt.
Protests in Uzbekistan over the imprisonment and trial in Andijan of 23 Muslims suspected to be Islamistextremists turn violent as Uzbek soldiers fire on the protestors, leaving at least nine dead and 34 wounded. Thirty soldiers have been taken hostage. A believed suicide bomber was killed in the Israeli Embassy in Tashkent, but some question whether or not he had a bomb. --Kitch 11:36, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
We should add that both deny the accusation and have previously won libel cases when these alligations originally appeared in newspapers some years ago. Seabhcán 11:58, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
RawStory.com is a liberal POV fork website. I can't find this anywhere on the U.S. major media or on any of the news wires. If it's not newsworthy enough for any mainstream media, then how is it good enough for In The News? --Kitch 11:13, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Other links were included, including to the Times' article, but were later removed. I'm not sure why. --Firsfron 18:44, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The Pakistani government announces that it has captured Abu Faraj al-Libbi. If verified, this is the most important Al-Qaeda suspect to have been arrested thus far.-gadfium 23:36, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Since I got no response to this, I've added it myself.-gadfium 02:07, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If your a sysop you don't need to list on this page, do you? This page is just to help non-sysops edit the template (I thought). BrokenSegue 04:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I don't need to, but I think it's a good idea so I get some peer review before putting something on the main page.-gadfium 07:32, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It would be nice to have something about the events in Nepal - there have been mentions in Current Events for the last three days, but I have no time to write an article to link to. The most appropriate article may be Gyanendra of Nepal. I don't see anything on Wikinews either.-gadfium 21:33, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Don't know about the pic. A nukiller explosion is a lot more eye-catching than (yet another) politician in a suit, nice red tie notwithstanding. (However, if it's so decided, on this other pic, he'd be looking into the page). –Hajor 22:26, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think the 'sparkle' on his forehead is more eye-catching. :-) -- PFHLai 00:56, 2005 May 3 (UTC)
Following Saturday's car bombings in Cairo, some 200 people have been brought in for questioning by Egytian police. 8 people were injured in the attacks. --Gkhan 05:34, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
We need to link to an article which has been updated to include the news item. Cairo is not suitable. We can't put this on ITN unless we have a Bombings in Cairo article or similar.-gadfium 07:00, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
