:Well yes. This is by no means a finished product. What I have now is simply a list of stories I might write about. The week has just begun. By Saturday night, the only thing on this page will be fully fleshed out news articles, complete with sources for everything. Sunday the headlines (of my choosing, rather than the ones CNN/Yahoo/whatever used. Some of the CNN ones are so cryptic, I can't stand them...) will be transcluded to the mainpage. The old articles will remain here for maybe two or three weeks. After that they will be archived, and the headlines will be added to an "Old News" page.[[User:Drew R. Smith|Drew R.

:: Sure, I understand that this is just a notebook. But I suspect that some (many?) of the headlines will never be touched again, but still survive in the archive. Moreover, if - as you suggested - others might join you they might want to look what really is behind a title like "Japan braces for giant jellyfish" or if "Mathematicians Take Aim At 'Phantom' Traffic Jams: New Model Could Help Design Better Roads" really new, and what is behind it.

I think that — to be of (future) use — the headlines should be accompanied by a short note on the source (Newspaper, date, page, if available: original news agency) — could be a html comment. Peter Schmitt 09:36, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
