[WikiEN-l] From "Private Eye"
>From the letters page in the current edition (Eye 1227, p. 14): Sir, Re "Nooks and Corners", Eye 1226. It was a treat to see my rather amateurish photography appear (via Wikipedia) on page 12 of Eye 1226, depicting in all its glory West Bromwich's less-than-lovely "The Public". As an Eye reader of many years, I shall now look forward to the greater honour of having this letter printed, which will neatly fulfil your obligation under the relevant GNU Free Documentation and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike licences to give me a credit!
