Talk:Australia qualifies for FIFA World Cup 2006

Original reporting

is watching it on Tv original reporting?--Whywhywhy 12:11, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I think (and I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer this) yes - if you watched the match. Brian McNeil / ^talk 12:21, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Guys, can you delete this comment of mine and fill in something about the original reporting. Watched on which channel, match times, anything you can think of. Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Publishing

can some one publish it. i cant figure out what ima doing wrong --Whywhywhy 13:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I think the date is wrong on this. When I refreshed the main page it came up under yesterday's news. All edits are done today - as far as GMT is concerned. Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:39, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Title (Headline changed)

Just a suggestion -- shouldn't the title say Soccer or Football in it somewhere? I suggest: Australia Qualifies for Soccer World Cup. -

FIFA calls the game "football", but since there are several "World Cups", if you do include a modifier for "World Cup", I'd suggest "FIFA World Cup™". That's my advice after reading a bit of FIFAworldcup.com. However, you probably don't want to list that site as a source since all content is copyright. Yes, the TV broadcast was probably copyright, too - but reporting what you saw is a lot closer to fair use than quoting and sourcing written material. Maybe the current headline is good enough?

I would have to agree. the addition of FIFA wouldn't be upset AFL fans or NRL or soccer fans :) and defines it better.--Whywhywhy 05:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations, by the way. If it weren't for these stories, I'd have no clue what was going on in the rest of the world. 07:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC) I see that Boneyard took my advice and changed the headline. That one option was the biggest reason I registered here as headlines are often not written very clearly the first time. I suppose writing a good headline is an artform.
