Wikinews:Reports/September 2009
I've been told at one point in time, we had a regularly scheduled newsletter of the important goings on at Wikinews. I can't find it in the list archives, but no matter. I figured it was about time to start/resurrect it. After all, we do important things around here and if you aren't on the Wiki 24/7, you might miss something. So here are the important highlights from last month:
