Hi all,
Anyone interested in the below? As I understand it, they want to
cover the range of philosophies on Wikipedia - they already have
people involved with an inclusionist or middle-ist point of view, but
no-one from a deletionist viewpoint.
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: UK Deletionists - a request
Dear Michael,
Thanks very much for helping us out with this.
We're making a documentary about the history of the World Wide Web,
Digital Revolution, for BBC Two. A major part of our first
programme, about power on the web, centres around Wikipedia. As
part of this, we're hoping to find a UK Wikipedian who is a
passionate Deletionist - someone who identifies with the goals of
Deletionism to create a high quality encyclopaedia, and does
Deletionist-type quality control themselves - perhaps someone who
is a member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians?
A bit more about the series: we're marking the 20th anniversary of
the creation of the World Wide Web with a major multi-platform
event: Digital Revolution (working title). This comprises an
interactive website/blog, already launched (
http://www.bbc.co.uk/
digitalrevolution/), and four landmark documentaries for broadcast
on BBC Two at the beginning of 2010, in the UK and across the
world. Revealing the longer hidden history of technological
innovation, we will assess the meaning of an extraordinary
phenomenon now transforming our everyday lives, communities and
institutions.
If you fit the description and would like to be involved, it'd be
great to hear from you! Get in touch by email -
catherine.edwards(a)bbc.co.uk, or by phone - 07800 794299.
Thank you,
Cathy
