Wikinews has been included in Google News listings for a while now, since shortly after Stable Revisions went into operation. > I also saw a google news link from the main "World" news linking to an > article I'd created less than 24 hours previously - Harith al-Obeidi.

Inclusion of Wikipedia articles in Google News appears to be based on a) having been created recently, and b) having as its title a term that is part of the core topic of a collection of articles that Google News determines to be related. Also, it looks like Wikipedia links have been rolled out to more (all?) Google users. A few days ago, I wasn't getting the Wikipedia link yet; now I am. Does anyone NOT get links to Wikipedia articles now? http://www.google.com/news?pz=1&topic=w&ict=ln -Sage (User:Ragesoss) _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
