Most irritatingly, this otherwise clear and cogent article calls the
Pynchon Wiki "the global Wikipedia project to annotate, categorize,
and investigate every single detail in the novel."  I just sent a
letter to the editor emphasizing the point that Wikipedia is only one
wiki out of a worldful, with its own community behaviors and policies,
not all of which are being adopted for the ATD wiki.
