More 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!
