Rugby News Error
"In rugby union, South Africa win the 2009 Test series against the British and Irish Lions 2–1, with the Lions achieving their first Test victory since 2001." - from front page news.

Reporters: please first correct the regular version.
The article on Tanzania says the capital moved from Dar es Salaam in 1996, the article on Dar es Salaam says 1974, the article on Dodoma says plans were made in 1973 and the the National Assembly moved in 1996. Seems to me we need one consistent answer. Perhaps: "Plans were made in the early 1970s to move the capital inland to Dodoma. These plans were approved in 1974, the National Assembly did not move until 1996 and many government offices remain in the old capital." DavisGL (talk) 05:02, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- This is a little outside the scope of what we can cover here. You need to bring this point up at the articles' respective talk pages. howcheng {chat} 07:16, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
