[WikiEN-l] Yeah, let's botspam Wikipedia. I'm sure that'll work out just fine.

My weekly alerts give me about 20 hits. It's an interesting mixture of
very obscure newspapers, reprints & me-toos of big articles (every
story as big as flagged basically ruins that week's alert, since there
will be at least a dozen blogs or newspapers regurgitating the content
or even just linking it); but it's worth subscribing for the obscure
articles which will never get posted here or anywhere on-wiki, and for
the off-hand references.
