It's a very nice and congratulatory article, but
someone needs to tell
the author that Wikipedia is a proper noun, and as

capital W.
Why? Wikipedia just might have more power as a
non-proprietary generic term... Some may call it
"tissue" but a lot of us just call it "kleenex" -
wether we know how to spell it or not.
"The wikipedia" translates fairly well as "The wiki
encyclopedia" - the Emphasis is on The, not the W...

I've left a message on the BBC News site's
"Feedback
Form". Others might
do so as well, to make sure that my single message
doesn't get overlooked.
