I just revamped "History of Wikipedia" over the weekend (was mostly a list
before).
The view expressed in a BBC program on it, probably counts as a notable view
on Wikipedia's history. Can it be integrated into there, maybe a new
section "third party descriptions"?

Unfortunately that requires proprietary software, but I did manage to
catch it on my radio (albeit on fussy long-wave as I couldn't get
Radio 4 on FM at the time).
>w00t! Was it any good?<<
Despite the sensationalist trailer, I liked it. It was well balanced
with _reasoned_ criticism, and had interesting facts for listeners who
don't know much about Wikipedia. It certainly might encourage some
more people to read/edit Wikipedia. Clive Anderson is a good (and not
too serious) presenter too.
BTW, someone seems to have created an article about the program
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Story> which I think
should be deleted or merged (although I can't really see where to) as
it really isn't notable.
Yours,
Joe.
