News suggestions

Now that we have several members of this project, I'm open to suggestions for news articles here. --DeanS^talk 09:33, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

I suggest we try to link news items whenever possible, as I did with the Walmart stampede and the "trampling of truth" items today.

Also, let's not add "background" information to news capsules unless it's documented or linked. $78/hour was not in the auto union's external link. On the other hand I don't want to deleted that factoid permanently. Maybe one of our reporters or fact checkers can do a short article on union wages in the auto industry. If average US salaries are around $40,000 and the average worker puts in a 40-hour week, that's $20 an hour. Who makes more, or less, than that? And why? There are issues of productivity (the laborer is worth his wages Matt. 10:10 ) and excess union pressure (they use monopoly power against the corporations and by extension its customers). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ed Poor (talk) 07:18, November 30, 2008

Ed, we do try and link to the news articles. As for the $73 per hour, Jp made the news suggestion and I didn't notice that was isn't the article. Good catch.

Feel free to edit the news articles as you did this time. I have been wanting another sysop to work with me on the news. Welcome to the news project. --DeanS^talk 10:16, 30 November 2008 (EST)

Previous Breaking News

If you want to help with the Previous Breaking News, look at the examples of those updated through July 2008. Then start updating the links from here.

You can also start new summaries here. --DeanS^talk 09:33, 12 August 2008 (EDT)
