Dear Education listers,
As a historian of science in higher education, I have been developping a course focusing on Wikipedia in recent years, and some may have heard of the WikiMOOC I presented at Wikimania MOntreal (though I only played a modest role in the WikiMOOC saga)
My course is pedagocally relying on anecdotes that say much about Wikipedia principles, Wikipedia comunity and how Wikipedia is regarded.
I am today very happy that my first anecdote in English has been published. It's about OLivia Colman's birthdate and how the press likes to ridicule Wikipedia, yet fact checking is actually done by Wikipedians instead of journalists, so I can't resist to self promote it here:
