Do you now that according to The Independent we
have "approved
Wikipedia committee members"? The Independent managed to call an IP
user so. [1] May anyone contact and correct them?

Mike Peel commented and was going to call them today.
I'm really puzzled how they managed to get the description of the Wikimedia community
so wrong, considering that talked to them on the phone about this on Friday afternoon and
thought that I'd explained this to them. A bit of basic fact-checking should have
shown up the non-existance of a "Wikipedia committee" (and, of course, the
existence of the "online encyclopedia that anyone can edit" bit...).
I've been trying to get in touch with them about this, but haven't managed to get
a response yet (I've left a message on the talk page, emailed them, and left a
voicemail message.)... That's probably not surprising considering that it's a
Sunday.
