[edit] What an essay

Wow, all along I've been fuming about that Saddam article, and someone decided to create an essay on what a bad idea it is! 146.186.44.217 03:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regardless

The "regardless" with which the last paragraph begins lacks a referent. Regardless of what? D021317c 09:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just a phase, articles grow out of it

IMHO "proselining" is not bad habit when describing events near realtime. It is almost impossible to spot the important details from the mass when the news are changing. We can always convert those "proseline" notes to real prose after things have calmed down. It is so much easier then, and it is good to have detailed notes ready for the task.

Remember that the historical meaning of everyday events can only be seen retrospectively. We are only hurting ourselves if we try it prematurely.
