The reason I included the poll tidbit is because the ruling coalition is predicted by some to not even be able to get enough votes to enter parliament this time. That's really bad for a ruling coalition. --

(This would probably make more sense as
Yuri Yehanurov is now a redirect page. Also, a picture of Yekhanurov might be more fitting than the flag of Urkraine) -

Posted. Pic of Yehanurov not used as I'm not sure if it's free. Flag not used either as Hurricane Rita is still the top news -- updated earlier today, after Yehanurov became PM yesterday. --

Jet Blue Flight 292 en route to New York from Burbank, California, encountered nose gear malfunctions shortly after takeoff: the nose gear had been rotated 90 degrees to the right. It then circled around Los Angeles in an attempt to burn off fuel in preperation for an emergency landing at LAX.

Somehow the UK forces storm an Iraq police prison story, got put in the
Iraq war article, which is not about current events and it has been deleted there. There is no reason to think this news event will be significant enough to merit inclusision in an article summarizing the Iraq war. Please find another article for this news event.--

it was a reminding, not a final text. I leave it up to the sysop making the update how to phrase it. Myself I have no possibility for editing the main page.
Probably best to wait till we have the results at the end of today. In the meantime, the Afghan election gets to be the top news for a few hours. --

Probably better to wait till a decision is made regarding the nomination, IMO. --
PFHLai 13:11, 14 September 2005 (UTC)reply
I agree; generally we should be reporting decisive events, not "in progress" stories, especially when the ongoing event is of limited international interest.--

The Ashes, cricket's greatest prize, has been avidly followed not only in the United Kingdom and Australia, but also in the West Indies, South Africa and India. This has been, almost universally recognised as the greatest-ever cricket series. Its conclusion is v important,

The series isn't even over yet. I guess we might have a blurb at the conclusion for "parity" with the earlier Superbowl blurb, but in future I think the Olynpics should generally be the only sports event on here.--

As far as I can remember from last Summer, the Olympics get their own ITN on the MainPage when the games are held, and thus IMO, should probably stay off the regular ITN. --
