Interesting

 * Atlas of the World
 * A Malibu Temple picture I had uploaded to Wikipedia Commons has been used by Home & Abroad, a Expedia partner website. It was nice of them to credit the photographer.
 * Funny..one bot reverting another bot.
 * Wiki prayers
 * Brion Vibber's Tech talk on Wikipedia
 * Telegraph - Wiki's world
 * A thorough review of the history and practice of Wikipedia. History of encyclopaedias. Quotes from Jimbo, Essjay, William Connolley, etc. Ends "Wikipedia offers endless opportunities for self-expression. It is the love child of reading groups and chat rooms, a second home for anyone who has written an Amazon review. This is not the first time that encyclopedia-makers have snatched control from an élite, or cast a harsh light on certitude. Jimmy Wales may or may not be the new Henry Ford, yet he has sent us tooling down the interstate, with but a squint back at the railroad. We’re on the open road now, without conductors and timetables. We’re free to chart our own course, also free to get gloriously, recklessly lost. Your truth or mine? "

CUTPASTE
Hi Ganesh. I've (hopefully) fixed the cutpaste move. Basically, if you want A redirecting to B in the end, first delete B. Then, move A to B. View edit history of B. Click on restore the deleted edits. WP:CUTPASTE has more details. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 06:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
