view is that no topic should be added until at least a year after it
happens, in order to allow formation of a proper perspective, there is
no rush to scoop anyone. Wikinews is that way ----->
No articles on any topic for a year until it happens? Don't you think
that's going a bit far?
Here's some articles that'd have to be deleted, just scanning through
Current Events
* [[European Institute of Technology]] -- was just proposed this week;
hasn't even opened
* [[Grbavica (film)]] -- just released this month
* [[Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy]] -- the cartoons were
first published 5 months ago, and just got famous a month or so ago
* [[2006 Southern Leyte mudslide]] -- happened five days ago
I shouldn't think there's anything so inherently wrong with an
encyclopedia having up-to-date coverage to merit such a rule.
