Kapsin viimeisin huolto näyttää rikkoneen jotain, kun marginaali itkee rumasti virhettä 28. En suostu uskomaan, että tuo johtuisi tilanpuutteesta. Muut blogit (lähinnä siis Nuudelisoppa ja Mustavihreä visio, jotka myös pyörivät WP:llä) toimivat ainakin toistaiseksi.
Jaaha, ja tämän merkinnän julkaisukaan ei onnistu. Pitänee luovuttaa suosiolla tältä päivältä.

Canon lahjoitti kameroita ja kuvatulostimia lastenklinikoille
“Canon lahjoitti viime vuoden lopulla Lastenklinikoiden Kummit ry:n kautta PowerShot A95 -digitaalikameran ja SELPHY CP500 –kuvatulostimen viidelle lastenklinikalle. Tarvikkeet kuvatulostimiin lahjoitti Lindell Oy. Lastenklinikoiden Kummien toiminnanjohtajan Maria Ekrothin mukaan tällaiset lahjoitukset ovat erittäin arvokkaita. ”Kamera tarjoaa potilaille ja heidän vanhemmilleen mahdollisuuden ikuistaa ainutkertaiset hetket, kun joku tunnetuista kummeista vierailee lastensairaaloiden osastoilla. Kuva voidaan tulostaa valokuvaksi saman tien, jolloin kummin nimikirjoituskin saadaan kuvaan mukaan.””

Mainstream Press Messes Up Wikipedia Story
“The Wales quote from Sueddeutsche Zeitung read: “There may soon be so-called stable contents. In this case, we’d freeze the [Wikipedia] pages whose quality is undisputed.” Reuters repeated that. […] Wales didn’t say that. […] He thinks the SZ reporter may have misinterpreted his comments. Then Reuters apparently translated his comments in German back to English, and his meaning got turned into something he didn’t say. […]
And here’s yet another angle to the story that’s unflattering to mainstream media. Wales says: “The story seems to have legs, even though we’ve contacted Reuters and every other outlet to try to get a correction, no one seems to care at all. … No response. We’re important enough to write about, but not important enough for them to listen to at all.””
