It's later than I had promised, but it's finally here.

Felon became COO of Wikipedia foundation

by BRIAN BERGSTEIN, of the Associated Press



I wonder how those "The Register is just a tabloid. This is a non-event." people on Wikien-l mailing list will still be singing that tune, as this story gets picked up by (I predict) 200+ mainstream media newspapers.

Who will be the first to post this on wikien-l or foundation-l, I wonder.

wales's official teenage-mindset opinion is that he "doesn't talk to the Register".
I wonder how that translates to the Associated Press.

Maybe he should get gerard to send over a UK-flavoured "Fukoffffff !!" [said with 2 fingers up, slurred, after a few pints] to the AP.

this is worse than the essjay scandal, in that WP has no idea how to handle PR dirtsturms

It's been about an hour, and we're up to 61 re-prints in various mainstream media.

I wonder why these esteemed journalistic publications and TV stations would be so quick to re-print something that is clearly a "tempest in a teapot" and really a "non-story"?

Too funny. Although, I do fear for Brian Bergstein's Wikipedia article now.
