post publish changes[edit]
FCYTravis, thanks for ur contributions to the kentucky air crash article. that article was published yesterday. it's better to create a new article to update new developments in the story. wikinews articles are meant to be historical works, which report on the information known before publication. so, ideally, articles should not be modified in content after publication. cheers, Doldrums 04:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
