This would be a great place for wikimedia news reporting. There shouldn't be encyclopedia articles on current events. If there is a contraversy about what the facts are, then any product that comes out will have to be unencyclopedic.  We don't want to just be a quote book. Instead, we should have a seperate branch of wikipedia.  We were talking about it before but the conversation just petered out and everyone forgot about it all. The changes in code would be trivial: just a few text changes. Somebody registered Wikimedia.org for wikipedia (I'm not sure about the state of the transfer of ownership) and I think it would be great to put it on the server and turn "current events" into a link to it.  The news is unfitting for an encyclopedia.  History, even recent history, however, is. Maybe news from a month or more ago should have a clone transfered to Wikipedia so that if you edit one it changes both.
