How does Wikipedia rank compared to news gathered by professional journalists and editors such as those at The Economist as mentioned?

Wikipedia editor here! I'd imagine not that far off as we use sources like the economist to write the articles

While the presentation has merit, the events listed on this page at the time of this comment don't meet the my bar of one of:

1) Essential to not have missed for everyday conversation;

2) Will affect my decision making in some way;

3) Will be remembered a year later.

There is simply far too much news.

So you are not journalists by degree, training or other experience.

Nope! We just summmarize what reliable sources say. Same as the rest of wikipedia
