<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Both these articles will go a long way in generating more awareness and interest in Wikipedia and its Programs. The Telegraph article is on an fully open-access website, while the Times Crest site requires sign-up. I do not know if Times Crest is widely known or is available in print. I learned of if from a previous post to this list giving the link and also the text of the article.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could the Times Group be requested to also carry the Times Crest article on an open site. Respecting copyrights and then given the title/headline of the article, I would not like to copy-paste the text from the said previous post. Yet, I'd like to share it with a few academics in one or two schools and colleges who, I think, would be interested, but may not have read the article. [Posting the text on this list though is "Fair Use", imho.]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A thought. I wonder how some popular columnists, known for their incisive styles and penchant for word-play, would treat [if they decided to] the subject/s of these articles.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Meanwhile, though probably off-topic on this list, may I share with you in the celebration of the lives of two memorable Mumbaikars, recently passed; with this : <A href="http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/erratica/entry/conqueror-of-maladies">http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/erratica/entry/conqueror-of-maladies</A> .</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks & Regards,</DIV>
