Good to see you both at it - can't add at present. Just to agree that editing wikipedia is a doddle, and very rewarding when you spot an egregious typo or ungrammatical usage ... There are also factual errors that pedants enjoy putting right. After all, its slogan is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." So I do.
