Erik states that the report especially highlights the project's coverage of current events. I still fear that once the stable versions feature is introduced and has been in use for a year or two there will be many pages with changes submitted months previously that are still not visible to readers. That may well adversely affect the outcome of any attempt to measure a project's coverage of current events.
Maybe there's a need for a new special page to list edits that are awaiting approval, or update an old special page to highlight (a la Special:Newpages) edits which have not been approved. As I understand it, once a Wikinews article is written and checked, it is protected from editing anyway, so there wont be a lot of changes to old articles that have simply never been checked.
