Maybe a guideline that new information shouldn't be added for a week or two unless it is necessary to correct something old (adding in a date of death, for instance). The guideline could be part of a template, which includes a link to the wikinews story, for those who want to participate in such things.
It'd be a win-win for Wikipedia and Wikinews.
Hmm... "This article is related to a current event. The information given here may be outdated. For up-to-date information, see [[SUBJECT]] on Wikinews."?
Sounds good to me.
There's some existing discussion about a similar proposal (sans actual guideline) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Current. Might not be a bad idea to revive it, though. Do we actually _have_ a policy/guideline on current events? All I can find is links to the portal.
