Layout guidelines - READ THIS! Wikipedia:In the news section on the Main Page/Candidates
 * Newest item goes on the top, older items are removed from the bottom.
 * The entry must have a bolded link to an internal article UPDATED with the current event.
 * The entry should be previously noted in the main column of the Current events page (or Current sport events for sports stories).
 * To suggest new entries, please post them at:
 * Per discussion on the talk page, ITN is NOT a sports ticker. When a major championship is won a 1 line text entry is fine, but "scoreboards" are not.  Wikipedia is not Wikinews.
