Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for sharing your op-ed and for requesting comments.
When I read your article I am concerned about this statement: "Some advice
for Olivia Colman: rather than “sending an e-mail to Wikipedia”, she can
edit Wikipedia herself, like everyone else". That comes across to me as
encouraging violation of English Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guideline
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest>. Can you
explain why you encouraged directly editing Wikipedia instead of placing an
edit request on the talk page or sending an email to OTRS?
Thanks,
Pine

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:

Comments welcome
