The Sun

HI Steve

work in prog I know but while it's on my mind, cd you ensure that in the Sun article you give a sentence with an authoritative ref for why the perception in para pasted below is not the truth? there was inquiry and report -- would be good to make ref to the findings of this. BBC article on this at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7992845.stm

specifically, were the Sun's claims below shown to be untrue?

Hillsborough

In April 1989 The Sun under the headline “The Truth”, reported that during the Hillsborough stadium football disaster Liverpool football fans had attacked policemen while they tried to help injured victims of the crush. The sub-headlines on the piece read: "Some fans picked pockets of victims"; "Some fans urinated on the brave cops"; "Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life".


Also small point of wiki style convention, cd you use lower case in subheads of articles except of course with names of things that require capitalisation, eg ==Rupert Murdoch acquires The Times==

not

==Rupert Murdoch Acquires The Times==

Also when a sentence has come to end of its 'sense unit', just close with full stop, rather than using a comma to join 2 sentences, eg Rupert Murdoch then bought The Times. This worried some commentators...

not

Rupert Murdoch then bought The Times, this worried some commentators.

(my invented examples)

that's it for now, very good work on the papers...

thank you!
