I'm not talking about generating new articles, just updating articles who's facts will be 'changed' so to speak by the event of the elections in a timely fashion. ------------------------------ On Wed, Nov 28, 2012 6:48 PM MSK Oliver Stegen wrote:
Politically a good idea but please remember that wikipedia is not wikinews. News articles trying to keep track of the elections will in all probability be deleted by the administrators.

Love to be there but I can't sorry. However, is it too early to discuss how to make sure we are ready to deal with the 2013 general elections on Wikipedia? There's gonna be a huge influx of new info (poll results, court petitions etc) that's gonna come through in really short notice and I'd like Wikipedia to be a good up to date place for folk to keep track.
