The Daily Telegraph is working on a feature about Wikipedia and asked me for contact details for 'notable UK Wikipedians'. Anyone here feel they could reasonably put themselves forward as "notable UK Wikipedians"? (And you're *so* doing this, Alison.) Please email me :-)

Is that notable on Wikipedia or in real life? I am neither but maybe you/they could clarify which?

On Wikipedia, I presume. C'mon, must be SOMEBODY.

I see. Well, I will suggest it some people who I don't think subscribe to this list; else there's the old standby ;-)

They're one of four big qualities in the UK (along with The Times, The Independent and The Guardian). They are, to all intents and purposes, a newspaper of record.

Indeed: here is a Telegraph snippet found at http://tinyurl.co.uk/gzwz
# Here's former City Slicker Anil Bhoyrul's voice mail message: "I'm probably busy so leave a message and I'll get back to you, or I've seen your caller id, don't want to speak to you, and won't get back to you." As his entry on internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org, states: "Anil continues to win friends and influence people wherever he goes."
This from Business diary - Edited by Simon Goodley (Filed: 04/09/2006)

I knew that - they've written about me a few times. It'll be interesting to see how accurate their Wikipedia article is.
