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.
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_an_article
Does anybody else have an article they'd like to explore in this way? Or
feedback on the Celilo Falls overview?
