"Mr Know It All is giving up billions" -today's Sunday Times. Deferential profile of the great man 'would rather be a carpenter than an architect'; "I've absolutely no idea, I know about as much as the next guy".
It's half to be expected, given the 10th anniversary. But half our fault. I meant to sketch out an article for one of the British dailies, but never got round to it. I turned down an interview with Radio 4 (frankly I was too embarassed to have my family and friends know I am involved with Wikipedia, but that idea is for another thread).
Is there any way of turning off this stream of diarrhea? The "comments campaign" clearly hasn't worked - not enough people read these. What is needed is PR for the other 'Wikipedia Story' on US or British or other national media. Any ideas?

Amid the vitriolic political debate in modern America, the code of civility that Wales hs imposed on Wikipedia is notable - not just in the way users are addressed, but also the courteous manner in which vexatious contributors are discouraged. To his way of thinking, diplomacy and conflict resolution invariably win out over those who 'shout loudest'.
