Headlines?

[edit]

It seems some people on the main Current Affairs page are not happy with this being called "Highlights" given the nature of some of the stories - death and natural disaster, and such like. Maybe "Headlines" would be a more suitable name?

Oussama Mellouli - first Arab world champion in swimming stripped of 2007 world championships medals

[edit]

With his 2007 results vacated, he loses the historic distinction of having become the first Arab competitor to win a world swimming championship (800 m freestyle). Przemysław Stańczyk (pl:Przemysław Stańczyk) of Poland takes over as reigning world champion. The other affected Melbourne result is 400 m freestyle. In sum, two Australians move up from bronze to silver, and an Italian and a Russian gain bronze medals instead of 4. places. --Mareklug talk 21:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming story

[edit]

I'm from over on Wikinews, I have a story which is under embargo until later today. I believe it is significant enough to merit a mention on the front page of wikipedia.

I'll be in #wikinews on freenode, or can be contacted at brian . mcneil at wikinewsie . org. --Brianmc (talk) 09:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
