The print version has been available on newsstands for over a month. The 
Signpost reported on this, including our failure to correct the number 
of Encyclopædia Britannica articles, several weeks ago.

Speaking of Britannica, our article about them needs some serious work. 
I pointed out some serious problems with the history narrative on the 
talk page recently, but nobody has yet done the research to tackle the 
problem. The article also suffers from serious pro-Wikipedia bias in 
spots. Dealing with the recent Nature study, for example, is it more 
neutral to throw in out of the blue that "Wikipedia is almost as 
accurate as Britannica" or would something along the lines of 
"Britannica remains more accurate than Wikipedia" be better?
