  • n:en:RAGGS debuts on Australia's Seven Network OR
  • Bawolff Thinks this is definitly an acceptable article. However he is unsure how investigative you have to be for orginal reporting, for it to be counted as OR in the contest. (Just not from other news reports, but from other non-news web sites, or do you have to email somebody or what?) He (bawolff) is also going crazy and refering to himself in the third person. Bawolff 20:41, 19 May 2006 (UTC) I would like Ral315's opinion on it. Bawolff 01:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I'll accept it; I tend to be liberal in that respect. I'll award a joker. Ral315 (talk) 09:08, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

    • Accepted. Don't worry about the time zone thing; it's mainly to avoid people entering ten hours late. Go by your home time zone if you feel worried about it. Ral315 (talk) 09:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

(I hope someone is keeping tally here. I may have breached the time-zone thing. Not sure if its the 19th or 20th May. But this is cool, I'm enjoying the competitive comradery...)
