There will be a discussion of encyclopedias,
including, of course,
Wikipedia, on the "You and Yours" programme on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow
(Wednesday) afternoon.
For those who missed it, the permanent link to the description of
today's program is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/index_20041117.shtml and you
can access the Encyclopedias segment with this RealPlayer [ick] link:

You might want to seek forward a few minutes to the discussion part
(about 8 minutes in, I think); the first half is a more magazine-y
thing with families challenging each other to find facts. I must say,
I thought Wikipedia came off quite well; well done Angela, and thank
you for spreading the "good word of wiki" :)
