Why does wikipedia update so often ?
ok, serious question
It's been pointed out several times how quick Wikipedia is to update articles on individuals involved in current events, like Zidane, Hussein, Obama etc
that's great for sure
But I don't quite understand why the articles about people who aren't on the spotlight anymore, are updated often almost as often.
F.e sportsmen who retired etc.. I sometimes check on them in wikipedia, but there are obviously no news.. and yet still wikipedia says the article updated last 2 days ago. Seriously, wtf? Nothing new gets added, just the wording changes here and there...
I understand how wikipedia is run, but this still kinda doesnt make that it's right. If nothing happens regarding some ex-celeb anymore, then why update the article on him every 5 days? Why not wait 6 months until something happens?
