geni - just because the CIA cite things less than a year old doesn't prove that they update more regularly. Only if a sequence of events as follows occours will we know that they update more regularly:
Event A happens. CIA cite Event A in short period of time eg. a week or two. Event B happens shortly afterwards. CIA cite Event B again, shortly afterwards.
This will prove that EITHER they are using the live copy of Wikipedia OR they update more regularly. Assuming they update at regular intervals , this also determines the approximate frequency with which they update (eg Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, etc.)

So if the once a year update came sometime after the insert of the info in Wikipedia?

Some might find this interesting:
Over the holidays, I spoke to an individual I know well and was told
that US
intelligence agencies keep a local copy of Wikipedia available for
employees

updated once a year.
We know that isn't true. Mostly because CIA reports have cited stuff that has been in wikipedia for less than a year (children of someone of interest outside the US not a significant detail.) -- geni
