US Wikimedians (and anyone who can get ABC): there will be a story about Wikimedia on ABC's Nightline tonight; those who were at Wikimania may remember seeing them filming. No, I don't know the focus of the story, but I'd be surprised if it were entirely rosy, given the show's usual fare. Check your local listings...
(I was one of many interviewed for it and have no idea what they'll use.)

How do they get ideas like that? I just read a question on the help desk from someone who wanted to know which encyclopedia an article came from, as if "the free encyclopedia" means copying copyrighted material and offering it up for free.

www.wikipedia.org features TEN LANGUAGES AROUND THE WORLD! ... and the others are obviously invisible.
