They are doing batch updates from dumps. .. I can find out exactly
what their update schedule looks like.
Well, that answers an OTRS complaint I spotted last night about
vandalism in one of the enGoogled articles! Any idea how often they're
likely to update?
(On the plus side, vandalism like this shouldn't be too much of a
problem - our geotemplated articles are likely to have a smidgen more
competent attention than the average)
Indeed, for those of us more used to an edit-save-test paradigm, it
becomes very confusing to not have corrections appear immediately. I
still don't know if [[Iran]] is still 60 miles over the border in
Iraqi Kurdistan, or if [[Connecticut]] is just off the South Fork of
Long Island, or if other editors have fixed these (these are the two
most notable errors I've found so far.) Maybe Google can be convinced
to devote resources to accelerating their update schedule, but I for
one am less hopeful.
