Hello Hisham, Everyone,
Both these articles will go a long way in generating more awareness and
interest in Wikipedia and its Programs. The Telegraph article is on an fully
open-access website, while the Times Crest site requires sign-up. I do not know
if Times Crest is widely known or is available in print. I learned of if from a
previous post to this list giving the link and also the text of the article.
Could the Times Group be requested to also carry the Times Crest article on an
open site. Respecting copyrights and then given the title/headline of the
article, I would not like to copy-paste the text from the said previous post.
Yet, I'd like to share it with a few academics in one or two schools and
colleges who, I think, would be interested, but may not have read the article.
[Posting the text on this list though is "Fair Use", imho.]
A thought. I wonder how some popular columnists, known for their incisive
styles and penchant for word-play, would treat [if they decided to] the
subject/s of these articles.
Meanwhile, though probably off-topic on this list, may I share with you in the
celebration of the lives of two memorable Mumbaikars, recently passed; with
this :

Thanks & Regards,
