Goings-on in the week starting Sunday October 23 2005

 * As of October 27, barring any deceptive redirects and leaving Acting Secretaries aside for the moment, the English Wikipedia now has articles for all of the U.S. Cabinet Secretaries since the Washington Administration! Good times!
 * Discussion is on-going regarding the recent announcement of a deal with Answers.com to include advertising on Wikipedia. Wikiproject no ads was created as a result.
 * Issue 42 of the Wikipedia Signpost is published (with a record number of stories).

Proposed principles, findings of fact, or remedies may be listed on /Proposed decision and form part of the final decision.
