Hmmm, trying to turn an interview from
"zomg! Wikipedia bans the Mail!"
round to "actually this is all normal and we have some really interesting
community preferences" sounds.... tricky. ;)

Usual line is "editorial decision, I'll
forward your details to some
editors" then email here ;-D

Hi all
Thanks very much for flagging this David. I think it would be great if
someone could talk about this from an editor's perspective - in
particular
the process of consensus building within the
Wikipedia community, as
it's
clear many people working in the media don't
understand this. If
someone
does respond to you directly, please could you
let me know?
The office has had a flood of emails and phone calls which we've been
fielding as best as we can. I'm hoping that when San Francisco wakes
up and
comes online they will send me their statement on
the issue, which
would
help to deal with enquiries.
All best
Lucy
