-Before posting, please make sure you are familiar with posting guidelines:
-* Please log news events in the present tense.
-* Only list items with news sources; stories without links will be removed.
-* News stories must be in the English; no other languages please.
-* For each item, please update the most relevant linked article if it is appropriate.
-* Stories added to the main portal page should be of international interest. Stories of only regional or topical interest belong in their appropriate sub-pages.
-* Do not list the ordinary deaths of prominent persons here. That's what [[Recent deaths]] is for. Exceptions to this rule are made for persons of extreme prominence, such as Ronald Reagan, John Paul II, or the Queen Mother.
-* Please do not link to subscription-only sites such as AOL or WSJ (except in the unlikely event that a story is covered substantially better there than anywhere else).
