Could someone speak to Google?
Surely isn't this entering Wikinews' territory somewhat?
Sure it is, but that's not Google's problem, it's ours. Google will link to wherever the best article on news topics are. At the moment, that is very often Wikipedia, not Wikinews. I would like to encourage people to go to Wikinews when they want to write about current affairs and only create a Wikipedia article after the event is over, but I don't think there is anything approaching a consensus for that.
