P.S. You realize that putting an m: in front of an interwiki link not destined for meta: doesn't do anything? Bawolff ☺☻ 23:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

update to Anna Politkovskaya article

hi Introvert,

welcome to wikinews. just wanted to let u know that Wikinews articles, once published, are not meant to be updated with newer developments - the articles are considered to be "historical documents", they reflect the events and the information available at the time of publication. a rough rule of thumb is, if the article is published for two days, it shldn't be edited for adding content. any new developments should be reported by starting a new article. Wikinews:Content guide has more on this. cheers, Doldrums 03:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your helpful advice. Regards ~ Introvert (talk) 02:58, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
