I figured out what that game where you compare important and trivial Wikipedia articles is: Wikigroaning.

During this episode it was stated that the next episode will be on problems with growth and editing count. I’d like to take part. However, there’s no information here on how to do so. There don’t appear to be any links to upcoming shows, and the “On Deck” section seems entirely unrelated (what is “WW10″).
Am I in the wrong place?

Maury, the next episode discussing those issues has already been recorded; it was part of the same recording session as this one, and was simply way too long for a single episode.
If you want to be part of future episodes, the skype public chat linked in the sidebar is the place to watch. If you have skype, click on that.

Great show. Second one I’ve heard of the Wikipedia Weeklies. Audio quality very good, enjoyable and informative content. Keep up the good work. Off to play another one now.
