(...etc...) I am really, really pleased that PR Week chose these three as their expert quotes on the issue - all are basically what we would have said had they asked us. It's okay to correct errors in good faith ; but you have to work with the community ; tread carefully when doing anything that might be non-neutral ; and if you do it badly it'll blow up in your face, so don't do anything you don't want to see in the papers. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
