The suggestion that there should be an onsite category for articles on 
Google News is good (prefer a hidden category). As I was saying in 
another thread, the journos' priority of getting the breaking news aand 
getting it right is being dumped in our laps. (I stick to my point with 
respect to what Ec was saying there: "backlog", or shovelling enough 
existing scholarship into the 'pedia to make it look like proper 
coverage of the "wellknowable" - a Conwayism - is very different from 
"frontlog".)

DG, lighten up on Noam Cohen a bit - he seems more disposed to be fair 
to us than when I met him in Taipei in 2007, and seemed surprised that 
any Wikipedians were actually, like, serious.  His point was factual 
even if you may think it is misdirection.
