Not ITN in my opinion... though interesting. --Tone 09:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article is unlikely to get updated since it doesn't discuss pricing in different countries. Let's take football or something else that comes up instead. Narayanese (talk) 10:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article Sex reassignment surgery, which appears to the be the relevant article though it wasn't emboldened in the suggestion, doesn't appear to have been updated. Please update the relevant article for ITN consideration. - BanyanTree 12:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
EURO 2008 is starting today, probably the biggest European sport event this year. Asking in advance, shall we put the beginnning on ITN as well as the finals? (This is the problem with the new page format, we can't discuss events that will happen in future under the correct date...) --Tone 09:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to Wikipedia:Sports on ITN it appears only the result should be mentioned. If you disagree, I advise you to bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Sports on ITN. Also, the format is still under discussion at Template talk:In the news and, in the meantime, you are welcome to create the new page for the relevant day in the meantime and post it ahead of time. - BanyanTree 12:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Generally, I don't remember us putting the beginning of sporting events... SpencerT♦C 13:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Only the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. However, this is the number three event behind those two, so I wouldn't complain either way. -CWY2190(talk • contributions) 15:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think a continental tourney, no matter how huge, should get more than one entry unless something bizarre happens (riots, disqualifications, etc.) Random89 18:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why wait? Does Wikipedia have anything against women? This should get on ITN as soon as we have some referenced prose added to 2008 French Open - Women's Singles.
I think it would make sense to post the women first and then add the men as one item when they are done playing and the relevant articles updated. --199.71.174.100 (talk) 02:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Posted per WP:ITNSPORTS. Men can be added to the blurb later, perhaps more prominently to make up for the women going up first. - BanyanTree 07:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Make up? True gentlemen should always let the ladies go first! :)
How about drafting a wikified news headline with a boldfaced internal link to the updated wikiarticle? --199.71.174.100 (talk) 22:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's already up in the portal and article, unless you want the Sudan attack. Narayanese (talk) 22:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The external link posted by 76.205.108.253 didn't work for me, so I had no clue what Uganda news it was about. I know it's about Uganda only because it's mentioned at the end of the URL. --199.71.174.100 (talk) 22:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think a headline focusing on the outbreak of "war" would be good for ITN, but we don't have an article about this "war" yet. Shall we wait? --199.71.174.100 (talk) 23:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Lord's Resistance Army article isn't updated enough. I support when it is expanded. --PlasmaTwa2 23:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Let me take a stab at an update, this article having being my sole FA. The GoSS has just withdrawn from their mediation role in the Juba talks, meaning that the two year old peace talks have finally collapsed. At least three editors have been circling the article because of recent developments and I think we can get a truly rocking update in a few hours. - BanyanTree 07:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The peace talks stopped already in April, didn't they? Narayanese (talk) 18:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not officially. Kony just refused to sign the peace agreement, but everyone has been continuing under the illusion that they are actually continuing. - BanyanTree 23:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, ok, then your blurb works. Narayanese (talk) 00:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
