People who are not familiar with Jacobs may wish to check out the 
Wikipedia article on him and note the subject of his most recent book. 
You can also get a quick synopsis of the book's impact on Wikipedia and 
the blogosphere from a recent Signpost article 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2005-08-01/Votes_for_deletion).

By the way, nobody seems to have asked what should be an essential 
question for us while we're collaborating on a journalism project, which 
is, "What's our deadline?"
