I expect that my and Alison's phones will continue to ring with WMUK-related queries for quite some time - once you're in the media directories, it seems you never leave ;-)
If any of you have phone numbers you don't mind the world knowing, those would be useful for passing on as phone contacts! We're talking about a pretty low volume of calls (to me, anyway) - it's not burningly urgent or anything.
(Email forwarding is easy. But lots of the people who call don't appear to use it when they have a phone to hand.)
In my experience, making my phone number public (it's 07733 223 584, for those who can't be bothered looking it up) hasn't led to a flood of nutters. I get hardly any nutter calls. Some are press, lots are people wondering how to get into Wikipedia or with problems with their article or asking to reuse an image. I generally let it go to message when I'm at work.

I'll second that, indeed as I was just opening this email I had a call on my mobile from Spain regarding a suggested 'trademark infringement' that they wanted to make me aware of.

ps. I *have* had a few nutters calling, sadly!
