Anyone know how good the coverage of the election was on Wikinews?
A brief scan of the Main Page on Wikinews gives at least two articles: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/World_leaders_react_to_Obama%27s_victory and
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_elected_44th_President_of_the_Unite...

Thanks. Should wikinews have tried to do more, or is that about what should be expected? I guess what I'm asking is how the coverage would be expected to differ between Wikipedia and Wikinews, and whether that is what actually happened?
Oh, and on the latter article, right next to Obama's name, is:

Hilarious. Almost as good as the "citation needed" cartoon.
