The massacre in Paris is reported to have occurred at 21:16 CET.
By 23:06 Wikipedia had an article up that is extremely detailed, containing statements from a former French President and a complete outline of events at several locations, matters that the press I read had not by then reported.
On closer inspection, after this article was initially written, I’ve found a comment so implausible that it closed the case for me.
In the 23:06 version is this comment:
“In a televised statement at approximately 23:58, French President François Hollande declared a state of emergencyand closing of borders for the whole of France.[7]”
How could the writer report what President Hollande did at 23:58, as if it’s a fait accompli, when he’s writing at 23:06, before it happened? Does this not remind us of the BBC reporting the fall of Building 7 with Building 7 still in the background?

That was 2 hours later. I was watching the news as it broke and all the news stations had this before the Wiki article -according to the time posted.
So , yes , they watch the news also.

That's strange because I had actually checked Wikipedia after getting tired of trying to get the simple facts from the news. There was no entry yet and that was a couple of hours afterwards.
Wikipedia covers current events rather quickly when it's a big event.

He's saying the details weren't known but already reported in Wikipedia. And the twitter is "before" the event. Best to read the source for the full story.

So you mean it was all planned ahead of time?
My hackles always go up whenever 24/7 news coverage of some event begins.
At least the French President didn't climb the rubble with a bullhorn…

That is very strange than. Personally, it didn't occur to me to even look there. I don't Wikipedia for up to date news, usually more archeological topics.
