True, we are not a newspaper, but I suspect that I'm in the vast
majority when I say that I often get my daily background information
about what's going on in the news from Wikipedia's homepage.
I learned a lot about Basque separatists and ETA and so on in the past
two days. I read a lot about the South Korean impeachment.
The "In the news" feature on the homepage is one of the best things
that we do, in my opinion.
