Was it deliberate, or just incompetence?

But there is still the article [[w:en:Angela Beesley]] and that is the article. Correction; it is [[w:en:Angela Beesly]] that redirects to Wikia.

Wikipedia Weekly frequently discusses websites and projects that are not from the foundation and/or are commercial. This is hardly promotional 'special treatment'. The Search discussion was relevant in three ways: 1) The context was recent developments in Wikia 2) It set aside confusion about the relationship of using it on-wiki 3) It was an open source project within the sphere of interest of many wikipedians.

And Angela wonders why people are confused?

There's about 100 cuts in that episode (the average) so I must have inadvertently moved the rest of the clip across on the scrubber bar and not noticed. As for the No-Follow - I'm not so sure. It won't make any difference on the grand scale, but I for some commercial organisations to be getting something whilst others don't just because they're wikis seems to go in the face, somewhat, of the neutrality concept...

Liam I am kind of surprised you would bring up the nofollow link issue. To me that is the biggest non-issue brouhaha raised by SEO-obsessors ever. otherwise, interesting as usual :) There is a fairly extended silence between 8′30” and 9′00”.
