I assume from this that Wikipedia now accept that Stephen is a person of note. Hey Dave, just noticed that the Notable people section on Stephen Downe’s page is gone.

Dave,
You suggest that we start entries on edubloggin. Wikipedia lists 18 other genres of blogs. Maybe we should think about starting an “educational blogs” page?

I think they are, the wikipedian who put the question mark on stephen's bio is not at fault... we are. Hi Elizabeth,

My comments are by no means meant to criticize the criteria that wikipedia are using, but meant to address the fact that we need to work a little harder at proving that the leaders of our community are worth including. I think they are, the wikipedian who put the question mark on stephen’s bio is not at fault…

we are.

This is not intended to be an exclusionary list; just because someone doesn't fall into one of these categories doesn't mean an article on the person should automatically be deleted. And then farther down there is an example of people who are more well known than the average college professor as being includable. So I think the criteria are met, but the author of the article might need to make the notation that the Wikipedia directions indicate for the "non-notable" but "worthy of inclusion." I expect it is reasonable to have criteria by which people would be considered "notable," eh? Cheers-- --Elizabeth But Dave–
