There is going to be an article in the Sunday's Observer about wikipedia vandalism featuring yours truly.
The author is the same reporter who did the thing on Charles Matthews in the Times ( the one at the London meetup), so I'm hoping that she will not sensationalise it. I basically told her that yes vandalism happens all the time but no, it's not really a problem, we have ways to deal with it that work very effectively. Hopefully the piece will be positive.

Yes, I just failed to get back to her with Psychonaut's contact details too. Oops ...
There should be a piece in the Sunday Times as well this Sunday or next.

Why do I think Jenny won't rest until there's a piece on us in every national newspaper, she interviewed every British Wikipedian and done a documentary? Thank God she's on our side...

Perhaps she's after an article on herself on wikipedia?
The article is very positive, so it's all good. Apparently it was mentioned on radio 4 but I didn't hear it, and the podcast isn't up yet :-(

The piece on BH this morning was in the paper reviews, and you were mentioned by name! Generally it was a good mention of WP from the reviewer.
