I doubt that a press release of this nature would have much impact because we haven't done anything worth mentioning (completing the fundraiser precipitated by our last press release doesn't qualify), this is something somebody else did. The best time to send a press release is when *we ourselves* have done something newsworthy. And if the wikipedians on de: are skeptical about the value of a press release here, when the test relates specifically to them, I think that's a pretty good indication for the rest of us. An alternative idea might be to play this up as part of a rollout for whatever new quality control system we develop - as in "Look how good we already are, now we're getting better". By the way, as we wrap up the fundraiser portion, let me take this opportunity to again thank everyone who worked on the last press release. There are too many names to list, and some weren't logged in anyway, but to anyone who helped write, translate, or distribute the press release - Great work! I think the resulting press coverage has been about as good as we could have hoped for, as the 1,000,000-article milestone got mentioned on numerous websites and in quite a few print newspapers and magazines, including a widely reprinted AP story. While I don't understand every language, I was able to decipher that the coverage spread across quite a few different languages, which is even better. And now, time to get back to work on improving the encyclopedia, so that this amounts to more than just our 15 minutes of fame. --Michael Snow
