Any UK Wiktionarians who think they could explain it to the media? I know *nothing* about the internals of the project myself ... if you do, please email me.

There was at least one Wikinewsie (is that what they call themselves?) at the B'ham meetup. I don't know if he's on this list...

I was the Wiktionorian at the Brum meet. However, I'm not the best person to explain it to anyone as I've barely edited any wikis in a few months (I'll be back, but I don't know when) and so am completely out of touch with the goings on. You have no idea just how trouble proper nouns can be, and thats to say nothing of words coined by marketing departments. And as for the word "usuress", set asside a whole day and browse through the reams and reams of !paper generated about this one little word and you will see just how stubbon, frustrating and confrontational one user can be.
