Thanks for all of your suggestions, and thanks for the reference to Keegan et al., this is very much the thing I have been looking for!
Cheers Johannes

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if there is any work answering the question on how "up-to-date" Wikipedia is.
For some high-impact news, like Snowden's revelation of the PRISM program, articles are written in mere hours. For others, e.g. business people taking on important posts in companies and thus becoming Wikipedia-relevant, it sometimes takes weeks until an article is written (Ian Robertson of BMW is an example).
Is there some work trying to answer this question of how long it takes for Wikipedia articles to be created after an event became newsworthy (and eventually ends up in Wikipedia)?
Cheers Johannes
