Yeah, I’m having second thoughts about that too … Ed, would you mind if we used the wording which Joe suggests? It just doesn’t seem right as it is.
Other than that, I’m really glad that we published this piece, and am very grateful to Ed for adapting it for the blog. This is as good a time as any to welcome Ed as our new content editor for the blog and community profiles for the summer. Welcome aboard, Ed! We look forward to learning from your experience as editor emeritus on the Signpost and doing some great work together. :) Fabrice > On May 27, 2015, at 6:16 PM, Joe Sutherland <[email protected]> wrote: > > Surely this should be "...'fowl' jokes on Wikipedia" (not "to")? > > Otherwise LGTM, except I'd go with this for FB/G+ (or similar): > When John Oliver called on the Internet to edit the Wikipedia biographies of > US congressional representatives, the Internet answered -- and Wikipedia's > volunteer editors started to clean up the vandalism.
