Two examples of outdated statements, both spotted whilst browsing last night: * "In September 2009, he will become chief executive of [the company]." * "In early 2010, [the NASA facility] will begin preparing to support the new Constellation program." In the first case, he did. In the second case, it didn't, because the program got cancelled. A self-updating text would be fine in the first half, but quite problematic in the latter. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
