Timing Wikipedia

Wikipedia map indicating states that have legalized gay marriage in a lovely solid navy blue.

It is 2130 pst on June 24, 2011. Governor Cuomo has just signed New York's gay marriage bill into law within the past hour. As of this moment, the Wikipedia page on same-sex marriage in the United States still classifies New York only as recognizing same-sex marriage performed elsewhere. How long will it take for this page to be updated? The clock starts now...


UPDATE:
It is 0011 pst on June 25, 2011. I have just finished watching "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" (boring), sequel to the classic "In the Heat of the Night." Upon checking the Wikipedia sight on Same-sex Marriage in the USA I noticed the map showing states in which same-sex marriage is legal now includes New York. The text in the intro paragraph has yet to be updated. 
UPDATE:
221 pst June 25, 2011. No other changes noted. Must get sleep.


UPDATE:
1047 pst June 25, 2011. Checked Wikipedia on cell phone between 900 and 1000 hrs. Noticed intro text changed to include "Same-sex marriage in New York will be legalized on July 24, 2011, 30 days after Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill doing so into law.
