There is also an entire section set out as a timeline. It is a fairly
well written timeline though, so it is quite encyclopaedic, it doesn't
look like people have just been adding things on the end. Being such a
big story and having so many people working on it, however, means it
probably isn't representative of how Wikipedia handles most current
events.
