RE: "Serbian Security Service said to hunt Mladic"
Sorry about that, I should have added a comment to the talk page. The "create sources section" comment was a reference to the secton header that I added to the article. So "I created a sources section, and I also moved the article back to develop". The article has now also been tagged for editorial cleanup. The main issues with it are that it doesn't have the format of a Wikinews artilce. No other article has an "update" and "details" section. To be honest I'm suprised that no-one tagged the Mladic arrest operation 'under way' article.

These are only minor things though, I encourage you to keep working on these articles, and keep reporting on the Mladic issue, I think it is very important. The more detail the better - for example, why are they trying to arrest him? Why has it taken so long for him to be arrested, etc... - Borofkin 22:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
