Errata[edit]
Many of the January 2014 reports include assumptions or errors:
- The project is not new
- Stephen Fry is not the first contributor
- The BBC already have their programmes well archived
- Ten seconds of audio is an approximate minimum, not maximum.
- The project isn't just for "celebrities", but anyone who is the subject of a Wikipedia article.
