[IMC-UK-Features] Feature proposal - EDO film tour

[ana]

You have probably seen the thread here ...

proposal:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-features/2008-March/0320-2r.html
ekes points out there are no links:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-features/2008-March/0320-zl.html
chrisc pointing out there are articles on the wire and can be added:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-features/2008-March/0320-f1.html
mick giving some links (but not to the wire)
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-features/2008-March/0320-dk.html

The basic rule (for indymedia uk at least) for an article to be a
feature is that it needs at the very least one link to the newswire.
further, there is this page explaining how to write a feature ...
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/UkFeaturesHowTo

So if you get the links and propose where to include them in the
proposed text, then the feature can be put up. Without links to the
wire, it can not be put up.
