[IMC-UK-Features] WDAIL Feature going up now

Sun Apr 26 14:25:54 PDT 2009

Sounds all good, nice one for getting onto that. Just for reference if you didn't know - I'm not an admin, am just a non-involved volunteer - so thanks for the work!

I changed the wiki link to the UN's agenda 21 page, which isn't a great improvement I admitt, but can't find another decent page detailing or criticising the programme.

I'll add in some related newswire links to the feature from the ocean defence page, if you could maybe write some more in the summary/article that'd be ace. Tomorrow night sounds like a good plan for it to go up, given that its extended sps sounds worthwhile as well. Maybe include some detail on the Sea Shepherd doc if we are coinciding the feature with its release?

Nice one mate, its great to have someone updating things as they go for a change :) I'll send you any links that you might miss during the evening / tomorrow evening. Probably talk to you on #uk if I think/consider anything else if you're there.

You could then add an update (in bold for example) to the summary with 'read full report' when you've done it, or something similar?
> > 
> > I just think news should be up asap, as that's the idea of news (for example the dog saved is something to get up as soon as). Furthermore the idea of features is to update, not to be released when fully complete. Let me know what you think... I'll put a few words together for now, so you can use/edit/throw away when you got time. Hope thats ok.

In an anonymous communique, Agenda 21 reported they flooded the engine room; 
to delay the killing season and to protest the continued illegal export of whale meat to Japan.

The same group sunk The Willassen Senior in August 2007 exceeding £2 million pounds in damage, successfully ending the whaling vessels career within two months.
