so easy. However, news stories remain.
Not a terribly good argument - the source is identical. On Wednesday 30 May, 2007, the weather in London was overcast with light rain. Source: The Times, BBC, Capital Radio, Radio London, Evening Standard... all of which will are citeable as sources, some of which will be available online and perhaps indexed.
So in reply to me asking for sources for the weather from two months ago you cite a few sources for the weather today. That is very different to what I said.
Newspapers are archived--they don't disappear off the face of the earth the day after they've been published. Wikipedia does not rely solely upon sources available to everyone this instant on the web. These are sources.
