Note that surgeons are correctly referred to as Mr, not Dr, here in Australia, although I doubt he minds either way. This means most of the reports are misapellating (?!) when they refer to Dr Love, but I guess it sounds sexier. (He's got the cure you're thinking o-o-of, right?) Simeon 03:52, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Where did this take place?[edit]

It's a great article, but I had a hard time telling where the event took place. This is why, IMO we should probably use the {{dateline|date=XXX|loc=XXX}} template instead of the {{date|XXX}}template since it tells the reader as they start reading WHERE the event happened. -- Davodd | Talk 05:22, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We should just edit articles more carefully. The 'dateline' (date and location) is used in journalism specifically to highlight where the journalist who filed the story is. I don't know how much of the general public knows that but it's certainly how it's used on all other news sources. Dan100 (Talk) 20:39, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
