There's a section on a proposed intro sentence containing the key in an utterly defensible [1] encyclopedic fashion, and a list of proper US-hosted media stories (not blog entries) quoting the key.
I still say wait at least a week, but I'm only saying that to let the keyspam die down, and to try not to encourage the *next* bunch of memespammers. Because you know this will happen again and again and again.
- d.
[1] in my personal experience as a troublemaker for the last twelve years dealing with legal threats against US and Australian hosted content with real legal paper flying around which I could have been left bankrupted by, and attempts to get me fired from my job because of it. Because sometimes, you've just got to say "fuck this, I'm not rolling over on this one." In an absolutely perfectly lined-up academic and educational manner. Of course.

David,
If that can be done in due course in a legally defensible way, that would be good.
It may well be that the key is changed because it is so widely known.
Hopefully, the keyspammers will eventually have a cup of tea and a Bex and a good lie down and we can get on with writing an encyclopedia.
