We add background information and context from wider sources than newspapers. It's also somewhat questionable how much of a dent we make in traffic for day to day news. Sure we take a decent percentage of the traffic for the really big stories (2008 Mumbai attacks, Michael Jackson's death, the new pope) but not so much for day to day news. -- geni _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
