BBC journalists are actually very nice people, and (because they're not working for advertisers) do try very hard to do a good job. However, they've had so many ridiculous cutbacks that stuff is done very fast and semicompetently. This is why the writing on news.bbc.co.uk verges on the semiliterate these days. Thankfully they're willing to take corrections. But I would suggest assuming good faith, i.e. it really was the first picture they found in the pile. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
