I suppose we could redirect all articles on current events to Wikinews. What we are doing with that type of article is about the same as CNN. They throw in a bit of original reporting, but mostly just comb other media and repeat it. Would Wikinews put up with that?

First of all, congratulations to Gracenotes and the other Wikipedians mentioned in the story.
However, we need to think. What can we, at WP, do to avoid choking Wikinews and making it a backwater alley of the WMF projects? Or should we just give up on it, or fold it into Wikipedia? Thoughts and suggestions appreciated. ~~~~
