Maybe, but I don't know how many. That level doesn't seem particularly
obvious on the data yet.

It might be interesting for somebody to try sampling the new article
lists and try to work out what percentage of new articles are on a
topic that couldn't have been written before (say) the previous month.

Anyway, the world isn't ending (at least until 2012 ;-) ) and the
article quality is still marching ever upwards.
