It isn't so much that he's wrong, but how much
can you learn about WIKIPEDIA by interviewing Larry Sanders and the management of
Britannica? David Gerard had to show him the edit button... The piece reflects more on the
reliability and integrity of the BBC than on that of Wikipedia. It was amateurish. However
a nice note at the end encouraging people to edit, "It's your encyclopedia".
The piece was fine. Radio 4 is the "Middle England" channel. It won't have
put a single person off Wikipedia, and it struck me as more than fair to the site.
'Amateurish' - no, that mistakes the tone. I would hazard that the average age of
listeners to Radio 4 might be over 50, so that technology is approached very gently and
discursively.
