Tube bombs headlines
[edit]Hi, just a note to say that I have reverted your edit because my headline was better. Don't you think so? Nice, isn't it. Dan100 (Talk) 9 July 2005 17:40 (UTC)
About the AOL article
[edit]1. It's being reported on CNN which is owned by Time Warner: http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/15/technology/aol_microsoft/ and http://edition.cnn.com/2005/BUSINESS/09/15/microsoft.aol.ap/index.html That's how we know it's true. 2. Someone else reported and there is a merge flag but no-one's merging it: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Microsoft%2C_Time_Warner_talk_on_partnership 3. Up until now I have personally viewed Wikinews as the leading news site on the Internet. 4. Don't insult my style of writing. 5. AOL is one of the largest ISPs in the world, many viewers of Wikinews probably use them. Wikinews has to report on this if it wants any credibility. 66.111.38.110 21:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
