  1. Why did you link to Wikipedia and not the far more comprehensive Screenonline entry? Especially when Screenonline is the first one that comes up in a Google search?

    This is a particularly sore point with me, since Wikipedia’s piece was the subject of my first official complaint to them on an open-and-shut plagiarism charge. Someone simply cut and pasted our Jill Craigie piece in its entirety and made a few token cosmetic changes that did nothing to hide the uncredited source.

    To their credit, they immediately admitted that it was a fair cop and I’d got them bang to rights that time and no mistake - but they then reverted to the pre-plagiarism version, which just offers the barest bones of her career.

  2. I’ll change the link. But - briefly - I checked the link from the previous Craigie entry; it didn’t seem to be working; so I substituted another obvious one.
