 * Nom Akihabara massacre. Not the most impactful thing going on right now, but it does have a decent new article. - BanyanTree 07:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support given the rarity on such incidents in Japan and increased toll. - Mailer Diablo 11:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Posted. - BanyanTree 13:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Note: Caribbean Monk Seal item moved to June 6.
 * OK, how about: "The government of Southern Sudan stops mediating two-year-old peace talks between Uganda and the rebel Lord's Resistance Army, following a rebel attack on a Sudanese town"? - BanyanTree 09:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The peace talks stopped already in April, didn't they? Narayanese (talk) 18:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not officially. Kony just refused to sign the peace agreement, but everyone has been continuing under the illusion that they are actually continuing. - BanyanTree 23:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Posted.--Pharos (talk) 00:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Why, oh why, oh why...would you want to replace the Ivanovic picture? Madness. 131.111.129.126 (talk) 00:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The attractiveness of the Main Page did drop by about an order of magnitude, didn't it? Heh. Oh, the burden of being a "serious" template. - BanyanTree 01:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
