[IMC-UK-Features] WDAIL Feature and re: "Feature proposal: WhalingShip Sunk"

Sun Apr 26 12:41:05 PDT 2009

ok this has been available for any objections all day and noone has so i'm
going to put the whaling article up as a startpage special tonight and
anything that can be got ready by then for world day as a first thread
which can hopefully be ready to be promoted to startpage special by
tomorrow night.

I'm at work so can't put in much input until i finish tomorrow morning, so
can something be put together from the nottsar report on the newswire,
other reports and the photo's i put up this morning? Can edit it and put
in the rest of the info tomorrow morning. I recommend ignoring the report
of the dog being attacked as i am 99percent sure this is misinfo and am
trying to verify this at the moment.

I should be able to get both up by about 10 if there are no objections
before then?
