Lorna Martin from the Observer would like to speak to one or people in the UK as soon as possible about why the Tony Blair article is semi-protected for a possible story in that paper tomorrow. Please contact her by email to lorna.martin@observer.co.uk or phone to +441412042225.
Since the only phone numbers I could find for people in the UK were on the internal wiki, I didn't give those out to her. I though there was a public list somewhere, but I can't find that now? Are those numbers supposed to be given out to journalists? Perhaps people could state on the wiki whether or not their number can be given out and under what circumstances?
Thanks.
Angela.
For what it's worth, David Gerard's and Alison Wheeler's phone numbers are on the WikimediaUK home page: http://wikimedia.org.uk/index.php/Main_Page - which is publically accessible.
I'm not sure if David is available today (he has done a number of media interviews in the past), but if not, he should be able to tell you who is. (Not me, btw - I've no idea on the background to this, and would not be good to speak about article protection etc on Wikipedia in any case.)

I hadn't realised the message had also been on this list, otherwise I'd have updated it too, but I spoke with the journalist concerned about three minutes after Angela's mail was sent.

Hi all,
In case you missed it, the Observer has the article on page 3 ("Wikipedia fights off cyber vandals"). It's avalable online at: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1800273,00.html
Cheers

News? You mean second to the BBC and what?
