My Weekly Book

I’ve stuck my neck out, done something new and unexpected and risky - submitted an article to Wikipedia. I did this radical thing because I wanted one (one in particular, that is) - and it wasn’t there, much to my irritation.

So I went away and wrote it.

It seems fair to mention it here since I wanted to link to it on this blog. My first book of 2007 is a crime novel by the author Frederic Lindsay and I was looking for links. While they do exist, you have to hunt about for them.

I was a bit wary about posting it. Once upon a time I tried to engage with the peer review system on h2g2. While I am prepared to admit that stoically accepting criticism may not be among my biggest virtues, the comments made on the one piece I did try submitting were so stupid that I grabbed my toys and left. Since then I have been a little bit wary. But nothing upsetting has happened so far, such as editing firestorms or having it replaced with porn. Here’s hoping…
