An article that isn't half bad, for a change.

I wouldn't go that far. Stephen Foley also writes on financial stuff (byline New York) and judging by a previous piece thinks bits of tabloidesque gossip (recycled into this one, BTW) are on-topic. Well, for flagged revisions they are not. You could say that problems with the Ulrika Johnson article _are_ on-topic, but people who judge Wikipedia by what it has to say about Ulrika ... let's just say they may miss information that might be more useful to them.

All the coverage on FR gets the timescale wrong, considering that the Germans reported on the experience at Wikimania 2008, after which it was certainly on the cards for enWP in some form.
