She's NOT 44. She's Grandma.

Just finished watching it.

It just sounded like a really seriously boring interview to me. I had to struggle not to go to sleep halfway through watching it. So what is so exciting about it? She speaks with a monotone voice and doesn't really say anything of any importance, but then again the interviewer doesn't really ask anything of any importance either. No, you can't just go in and edit your own entry. She didn't get animated, didn't explain why not, no controversy, nothing. Just plain old factual stuff. It was like watching two machines talk to each other.

I was a little surprised to see what Durova looks like. And yes, it is good to put a face, and a voice, to who she is. And kudos to Durova for being strong-willed enough to put her real name, face, and voice out there. It gives her a lot more respect from me, and I am sure from many others out there. It shows that she is a bit more genuine than the ones who hide behind anonymity.

She looked like a librarian to me, not like some bikie war veteran at all. But then again, maybe she has bikie war vet clothes elsewhere, and this was her monotone plain look.

I also had trouble understanding her accent. Sorry! She'd probably have trouble understanding mine too! LOL. Sometimes when we type out here, and can read each other easily, we forget that how we speak might be completely impossible for people to understand if they come from different countries.

I think it would be great if Wikipedia Review Youtubed itself, quite frankly, if only to truly witness how really witty and funny Somey and Johnny Cache are on screen.

And if Brandt wanted to go on Youtube, he could always speak behind a screen and with a distorted voice too...

Indeed, someone (it doesn't really matter who, and wear a mask if you want to be anonymous) should make a YouTube video to speak about Wikipedia Review, if for no other reason than then people have something to look at.

We've been talking about this for the best part of 2 years though, and I think at this stage someone has to just up and do it, out of their own initiative.
