[WikiEN-l] The public on Wikipedia

[charles.r.matthews at ntlworld.com]

An unsolicited testimonial. I was queuing up yesterday to get into a public lecture yesterday for the Milton anniversary by [[Quentin Skinner]], and there was obviously a problem. The student in front of me said, quite spontaneously, "He's only famous because he's on Wikipedia". 

Which leaves out his being on Radio 4 on Monday. But I was kind of quite glad I'd worked on the article in the past. (No, I didn't get in - too many bodies in Mill Lane Lecture Rooms and fire regulations were invoked - still waiting for the podcast to appear on the Christ's College site.)
