Ok, I have added it to the wiki:

https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/UkMcLibelArrests

Please add features to the wiki from now on if you think there is 
ongoing changes going to be made to them as this makes it easier imho.

Also, in terms of html, please open paragraphs with but close them 
with . If you do it on a seperate line, it will be easier to spot 
where the paragraphs start and end.

For example:

<p>
Hello this is a links section</p>

Also, please use and instead of and for bold 
(strong) text.

Was this feature proposed for animal rights page? Or UK startpage as 
well? I'm not sure one arrest at a McDonalds in Cambridge would 
constitute a national feature, but I guess that's up for discussion. 
Also, in my opinion the 'Newswire' section should be related to the 
actual issue (McLibel/ McDonalds) rather than general Animal Rights 
related newswire items.

Some other suggestions for photos:

Ah, also I would change the title of it. 'Supporting the McLibel Case' 
implies that the case is still going. Maybe 'Arrests At McLibel 
Anniversary' or 'Activist Enter McDonalds On McLibel Anniversary' might 
be better..

Nice one for the feature though.. Let's get it up the topic page soon..

Cheers, Wietse
