I agree - my first draft starts off talking about how we support the Ofqual guidance and just mentions the Telegraph at the end. The former part should be expanded. The Ofqual issuing this guidance is newsworthy, as evidenced by the Telegraph writing about it, so we should be mostly talking about that. Please add your "riff" to the press release.
Isn't this the topical moment to announce, though, that WMUK will be posting/has posted on its own wiki a concise but expert-written guide on how Wikipedia should be used? Amplifying what Ofqual said, and useful alike to teachers and students. We would of course have to write such a thing, but that's a matter of cutting GFDL text to length really. (Err, the site says nothing about GFDL right now.)
Not to complicate the issue, but basically Ofqual have it right, so this is a good time to get the attention of the teaching profession with our message. Think perhaps in terms of aiming at the Times Educational Supplement. What would they likely print about this?
