The war between russia and georgia, updated as it happens.

Yes, there is actually an “ongoing warfare” template. It was, of course, nominated for deletion.

Note to news organizations: don’t fear wikipedia, it won’t replace you. Engage with it. It might make you step up your game.

Note to wikipedians: this type of thing is what makes wikipedia great. You’d have to be insane to want to clamp down on it. It’d be like cutting down a tree.

But anyone who thinks that (and I haven’t looked, so hopefully it’s nobody in this case) is chatting on-wiki, not reading blogs. They may not have killed the article, but they’re still doing their best to diminish wikipedia’s usefulness — “This is not a forum for general discussion of 2008 South Ossetia War. Any such messages will be deleted. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article.” Heaven forbid.
