[WikiEN-l] "I should know this, I worked on the Wikipedia article..."

[Steve Bennett]

Just curious, how often do the subjects of articles you work on come
up in daily life? I work on a lot of pretty obscure and random stuff,
but even still, I'm surprised how often I can claim to have written
the article about some Australian town, a state park, a ski resort...

On the downside, it's humiliating to be participating in a trivia
night, and there's a question about just such a topic, and you can't
remember the answer. I did a fair bit of copyediting on [[Hughes H-4
Hercules]], but still couldn't remember the name of the damn thing the
other night...:(  (But I did know who [[Franck Sorbier]] was...)
