Following from a New York Times article, the UK press caught on to the story. Our Chair, Mike Peel, talked to BBC News, The Times, and The UK Press Association.

In addition, the Times also ran an article entitled "The 10 biggest Wikipedia hoaxes". The story was also covered by the Daily Mail, the Guardian Blog and The Telegraph.
