Portal talk:Current events/March 2003

Since this article weighs 32 kilobytes, I think we should consider breaking it up. Does anyone disagree with this? How should I break it up? The most obvious way to me would involve creating March 1, 2003 to March 15, 2003 and March 16, 2003 to March 31, 2003. --Ellmist Saturday, April 19th, 02003

Where did several entries for March 29th of the Current Events page go? --66.47.86.47 12:02 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)

Well, the first page from March 30 shows this:

March 29, 2003

 * 2003 invasion of Iraq
 * The Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf has accused the US forces of killing 140 civilians during the last 24 hours and denied allegations that Iraqi soldiers are disguising themselves as civilians.
 * An explosion damaged a shopping center in Kuwait City before dawn, apparently caused by a malfunctioning U.S. cruise missile. No injuries are reported.
 * A Iraqi military suicide bomber, driving a taxi, killed four US soldiers in an attack. "We will use any means to kill our enemy in our land and we will follow the enemy into its land," Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said, "This is just the beginning. You'll hear more pleasant news later."
 * SARS: Dr. Carlo Urbani, a WHO expert on communicable diseases and the physician who first identified the outbreak, dies of the disease in Thailand. He had been infected in Vietnam.

An aweful lot of edits to go through here. I suggest you just reinsert this material if it meaningful to you. Fred Bauder 13:40 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessaryily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
