Precisely, and there is extensive precedent (including in court decisions relating to allegedly inaccurate headlines) for article titles to be generalising if the reality is explained in the body. If we wrote to them, there probably wouldn't be a correction. -- Anthony (AGK) Sent from my iPhone On 13 Mar 2012, at 14:44, Katie Chan k...@ktchan.info wrote: On 13/03/2012 12:15, Thomas Dalton wrote: On 13 March 2012 12:02, Michael Peelmichael.p...@wikimedia.org.uk wrote: On 13 Mar 2012, at 10:35, Gordon Joly wrote: Thanks Jimmy Wales: Wikipedia chief to advise Whitehall on policy http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/wikipedia/9137339/Jimmy-Wales-Wikipedia-chief-to-advise-Whitehall-on-policy.html Chief?

[Wikimediauk-l] Follow-up UK OTRS workshop
Hi all, One of the actions from theLondon OTRS workshop in January was that I would set up a second workshop, aimed at new OTRS agents (mainly from the UK and those parts of Europe from which the UK is easily accessible). I'm looking for suggestions on how we can most effectively advertise such an event to the target audience (in particular those who don't subscribe to the mailing lists, and those not active on the English Wikipedia). All input welcome, and I'm hoping to perhaps set something up for early summer (June looks nice and empty at the minute), so please do spread this far and wide, and feel free to re-post it to other mailing lists. Cheers, Harry___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

Officially allowed or not it doesn't stop the media calling Bob Geldof Sir Bob. Sir Jimbo has quite a nice ring to it so you can guarantee the press would use it.
