Thanks, I understand that articles can be updated with time, and I use the article ID as the identifier rather than the published date or the text content.
Actually, I mistakenly left out the two article titles which seemed like they were not related (other than both being about tennis). The first was about a player called 'Gonzal' and the second is about Roddick struggling past Daniele Bracciali. I have since cleared my test database, but I follow up if I see this behaviour again.
