Pete,
Thanks for introducing us to the Outreach Wiki. I had never heard of it. I think that particular page might be improved to address the dynamics which surround controversial articles such as Global warming, Stalin, Chiropractic, or Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. This treatment should not be allowed to overwhelm the story of articles like Celilo Falls but should be available both for our internal use and to address concerns of external critics. What articles are cited by scholarly critics as examples of unreliability?
Fred
When introducing non-Wikipedians to the concept of Wikipedia, I've found many people want to know: *how does an article develop?*
I just composed an overview of the development of a GA article I worked on with several others over several years:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_an_article_(Celilo_Falls)
And also, started a page on the Outreach wiki to link to such stories. I linked to several time lapse YouTube videos I've seen that do more or less the same.

Does anybody else have an article they'd like to explore in this way? Or feedback on the Celilo Falls overview?
-Pete
