I've just listened to it. Very good indeed! If only Newsnight had just
played a copy of that interview... You didn't mention that pages are
protected already, but it wasn't really necessary, you were given the
chance to explain that this is a good thing, regardless of what is
happening now.

iPlayer radio works for non-UK people too. It's only BBC TV we don't get.

It's on iPlayer now:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00m9plf/5_live_Drive_25_08_2009/

I'll see if I can rip the audio stream for non-UK listeners' amusement.

Yeah, they ran out of football to babble about or something.
Drivetimes tend to end up on iPlayer, presumably today's will in due
course.

Were you on earlier than expected? I tuned it at around 6:45pm and
apparently missed you.

Anita whatsit's intro was "Wikipedia is locking down o noez, editors
up in arms" - I hopefully corrected it, said we were doing it with
great caution after occasional long waits for approval on de:wp, that
it was only for BLPs, and that editors were concerned about taking
away the instant editing thing and long bottlenecks. And that it was
in testing at the moment, probably live within the next coupla months.

revisions" media buzz on today's drivetime show. I'll be on by phone
