reddragdivaMore Wikipedia radio: I'm apparently needed for an interview with Irish Radio 106, Lunchtime with Damien Kiberd, at 2:20pm UTC, about half an hour from now. (Is Ireland on UTC or UTC-1?) Waiting to hear back on topics and length. Windows Media stream.
Update: I did the interview on my mobile in a stairwell, so it probably sounded like sh*te ...
- Started with what we want to produce; I talked about the de: DVD, in its 3rd edition, and how we want to do that with en:.
- Then issues of bios, defamation and Seigenthaler; I said that we catch errors when we spot them, but we've lately been working on actively fact-checking biographies of living people.
- We can't keep a certain noise level of rubbish out, but we have lots of people who want to do good.
- They crossed to Michael Earl who wrote the FT piece. He said how he'd edited the piece on his college to fix an error.
- I said we want to put an encyclopedia in every schoolroom in Africa, paper or DVD, maybe on $100 laptops.
- I finished that we're not a finished product but pretty good if you read critically.
It seemed to go nicely. I acknowledged a weakness, that we had stuff to fix on living people's bios, the rest was a big ad for Wikipedia.
And apparently I'm the UK Editor of Wikipedia. I didn't know I made that many edits ...
I'm now really hoping someone captured the audio stream, or that it's retrievable at a later date!

(Speaking of, I just tweaked Ray Toro's page and will try to get one of my friends to fill in the one for Bob Bryar, as she knows more about the man than is healthy.)
Also, I have learned why it is not wise to follow links from wikipedia articles. I want my brain back.
Last, sparkly red thing came today, thank you. :) (The postman cleverly put it... through next door's letterbox, because it's larger. Yes, this is a good method of postal delivery, just ignore the addresses and put things where they fit!)
