I thought I'd start this thread for people to link to multimedia
(podcasts, video and photos) of Wikimania as they find them, so anyone
that wishes to can try and pretend they're there :o)
There's a "day zero" podcast here, supposedly, but the site seems to
be down. Server overload?

Under that logic, posting the link is a copyright violation as it does not
belong to us.

Uh, what?
I snipped half a dozen paragraphs that had been copied word-for-word from
the Daily Mail's website. That's a copyright violation. The link isn't.

I was merely stating that your logic is flawed. We aren't claiming any
ownership of posts to this list, or content ownership. It's just being

Just to let you know, I've just had an interview on Dublin's Radio 4 which
should available soon at :

Hi all,
I'll be doing a short (3 minute) interview on the Chris Evans
Drivetime show on BBC Radio 2, at around 5.30pm today, on flagged
revisions.
I've just talked to them on the phone, and given them a brief
overview of the situation, so hopefully things will go fairly

I'm on BBC Radio 2 Chris Evans for a three-minute segment around
5:30ish (plus or minus who knows what) and Sky News around 7:15pm.

Just to explain: David's going to be on BBC radio 2, rather than me
(as per my previous email), as he's based in London and hence can get
