Jesus. This page needs some editors who care. 204.69.40.13 21:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello...[edit]

There seems to be no one here. We'll need some type of "dedicated editor" here- I can't immerse myself here. Orngjce223 editing from 24.93.151.208 02:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did I just use "here" three times in that last comment? Orngjce223 editing from 24.93.151.208 02:49, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll help out, too. Let me know how I can assist (I'm new at this!) :D Yaoi Kat na-no-da 20:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some new stories on there. Hope it helps! Arbiteroftruth 17:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

purpose[edit]

Can someone explain to me the purpose of this page? Is it really feasible to add stories by hand to this in anything like timely manner? What is the advantage of this page over an automated service like Google News? Iluxan 04:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm struggling to see the purpose of this page, especially in the context of an encyclopedia. Maybe the future people will enjoy reading a list of what the today people thought were important news stories, but even that isn't being served by this page. 84.12.142.218 12:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt anyone actually uses this for news, it really has no purpose. Noobeditor (talk) 00:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well. Seems to be more people here nowadays. Orngjce223 is too lazy to make an alternate account and is editing from 99.182.67.201 (talk) 19:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
