WikiLeaks leak

I can't edit the main page, but why is this listed under the armed conflict section? The recent leak deals with diplomatic cables--wouldn't it be a better idea to put this under the already existing "International Relations" section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.236.75 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 29 November 2010

Tim Tebow

We should mention that Tim Tebow is up for trade since the Broncos got Manning Greenble (talk)

Done And I moved your request here from Portal talk:Current events/temp so the request is more visible. Anomie ⚔ 20:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biased headlines

The space allocated to [in the news] section is limited to 5 entries. Why do I see two topics about the recent event of the theologically-racist movie reactions like they're so important? Why do I not see for instance the news about Japan/China clash or the recent UN event... Either the news section is biased, or outdated in a weird fashion. Thanks for noting. hkernel (talk) 19:04, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the right place to discuss the "in the news" headlines. Try Wikipedia talk:In the news.-gadfium 22:34, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mo Yan

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The first line says, "Chinese novelist and short story writer Mo Yan,(pictured) purveyor of hallucinatory realism, is awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature." Something needs to be done about "(pictured)" and the comma right before it. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now it says, "Chinese novelist and short story writer Mo Yan(pictured), famous..." Still the same spacing issue. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:06, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The SpaceX line no longer needs "(pictured)" either. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:11, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is the wrong place. Report errors in the In the News section at WP:ERRORS#Errors in In the news.-gadfium 00:10, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Paddy Roy Bates

Does the death of Bates really merit being included in the news feed? 331dot (talk) 11:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

US Presidential Debates

There is no mention of the just concluded presidential debate in the news. --Kendirangu (talk) 09:41, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
