I decided to ignore the whole "prizes" aspect of the BM residency. 
That's a snarky piece, really, and there is no need for me to add to the 
snarkiness. But the idea of a wiki is collaboration, and any prizes that 
ignore that an article is developed by a team (how exactly do you divide 
up a £100 book prize among those who get an article to FA?) are 
basically misconceived.
