Editorial cleanup

Working on editorial cleanup of 05 September Iraq story.

hi

welcome to wikinews! appreciate your many contributions. i notice that u place categories under thier own section (by typing ==Categories== in articles. this is not required, as per the Wikinews:Style guide. u can just place all categories at the bottom of the article, leaving out the section header. welcome once again, and have fun editing here on wikinews.

iraq story

i've made some changes to the article - primarily adding a lead paragraph summarising the "new" news in this article, adding wikilinks and some minor copyedits. i've also left some suggestions as html comments in the article. if these are acted upon, i think the article will be even better. then we can go ahead andpublish it. (btw, u can sign ur comments by appending ~~~~ to the end of the comment) Doldrums 20:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
