Radio 5 Live just called, they want to do a piece on the "flagged revisions" media buzz on today's drivetime show. I'll be on by phone around 6:50pm BST (17:50 UTC).

Anita whatsit's intro was "Wikipedia is locking down o noez, editors up in arms" - I hopefully corrected it, said we were doing it with great caution after occasional long waits for approval on de:wp, that it was only for BLPs, and that editors were concerned about taking away the instant editing thing and long bottlenecks. And that it was in testing at the moment, probably live within the next coupla months.

Were you on earlier than expected? I tuned it at around 6:45pm and apparently missed you.

Yeah, they ran out of football to babble about or something. Drivetimes tend to end up on iPlayer, presumably today's will in due course.

It's on iPlayer now:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00m9plf/5_live_Drive_25_08_2009/
I'll see if I can rip the audio stream for non-UK listeners' amusement.

iPlayer radio works for non-UK people too. It's only BBC TV we don't get.

I've just listened to it. Very good indeed! If only Newsnight had just played a copy of that interview... You didn't mention that pages are protected already, but it wasn't really necessary, you were given the chance to explain that this is a good thing, regardless of what is happening now.
