So a rebel group declares independence and Wikipedia immediately starts treating it as its own ("disputed") country whereas the sensitivities of Mali, which potentially stands to lose like 50% of its territory, is apparently not worth taking into account.

Do they really want Wikipedia being able to influence people on events which have just transpired in the span of... less than 5 hours ago?
