They recently published a Wikipedia CD Selection as a free download from their website.

I clicked on this link. I looked at some of the articles. The TeX does not get rendered at all!! You just see blank spaces there! How do they expect people to read the articles?? (See uncertainty principle, trigonometry, algebra, wave-particle duality.) Michael Hardy 21:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This will be fixed in the next version: it only affected half a dozen articles and we missed it. It was rendered as the correct HTML code in earlier rns but something didn't work on the last run.--BozMo talk 21:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where are your sources for these prominent supporters? Can they please be provided? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Etaige (talk • contribs) 13:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. All three of them link their websites to SOS Children's Villages UK. Mick Hucknell's link is at http://www.simplyred.com/links/ Stephen Hawking's link is at http://www.hawking.org.uk/info/iindex.html and wayne rooney's link is at http://www.waynerooney.com/charity_sos . For non contraversial information about prominent supporters self certification by them is ok. See WP:Reliable. --BozMo talk 13:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Odd news links we might use (or not)

History of SOS Children Villages UK

I am interested to see here the above mentioned history especially until 1970. Who can give hints for that? kind regards--Orik1949 (talk) 07:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear

It is not clear which ambassadors are local (appointed by UK) and which are global. Compare to [4] CapnZapp (talk) 18:59, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
