I actually spoke at some length about this with the person who called me - death notices often do in fact show up on Wikipedia before almost anywhere, e.g. the death of [[Andrea Dworkin]], where it went straight from a feminist mailing list to her article and only hit the media during the following day. Being *current* is one of our really strong suits, and the readers know this.
Ok, so what do we do when mostly we're right, we're occasionally laughably (or harmfully?) wrong, and we don't seem to have much control either way? Tough to implement any policies telling vandals how to behave when they're up to no good...
