I'm on BBC Radio 2 Chris Evans for a three-minute segment around 5:30ish (plus or minus who knows what) and Sky News around 7:15pm. (Black shirt, no tie ;-) )

Just to explain: David's going to be on BBC radio 2, rather than me (as per my previous email), as he's based in London and hence can get to the BBC studio. The press like to geographically discriminate. ;-)

Radio also REALLY HATES mobile phones ;-) Landlines are tolerable, Skype is pretty good *if* they're set up for it, studio is ideal.

I hate listening to people talking through phones on the radio as well, it's always really unclear! I'll try to listen to Sky News if not Radio 2 tonight, will be interesting - I should think you're primed for the questions now too after two (or more) shows asking more or less the same questions?! Must be quite annoying though!

My timing was a bit wrong there, Radio 2 has already been and gone! I didn't realise what the time was. I'll try to watch Sky News still though. :)

Just watched you on Sky, very good! You spent the whole time emphasising how this is better than protection, which is what we need to do. Well done! :-)

Is there an online copy anywhere? Apparently you couldn't actually watch it live unless you were a Sky subscriber, which we aren't any more ...
(Our telly viewing is basically CBeebies on a laptop for the toddler. Worth every penny of the licence fee.)
I've got the rap down pretty well now:
* Living bios are special and we've been harsh on them for a coupla years * Abusive rubbish and slander is *wrong* and that's not what we're here for * out of 300k living bios, we have ~1000 locked from editing (I don't bother explaining full vs semi-protection) * those 1000 are locked to any editing * with flagged revisions, we can have the good copy up for the casual viewer but can still edit the live copy * we're approaching it v carefully, because that instant live thing is a real buzz and motivation - very short delay to live is important * German Wikipedia's had this for a year on *all* articles and it's still alive and well and dynamic

No idea. I watched it on Freeview - Sky News is a free channel.

Indeed, and the channel can be viewed live on this website (though it has no catch up facility despite the site's name, so you won't be able to dig out the Wikipedia piece):

400,000. We've been going up in this as in every other category! :-)
