The Minister has made it onto Wikipedia.

Finally.

A vanity Google search last night revealed that, on 22 September, my (real) name appeared on a Wikipedia entry for an organisation with which I was involved some time back.

The problem is that the entry is factually erroneous and I don’t know whether or not to correct it.

It’s not a big or significant error but it is nevertheless inaccurate – whoever made the entry has taken two separate details and conflated them.  (The BBC got into trouble for that just the other day.)

It’s not malicious and it’s the sort of mistake one could easily make nearly two decades after the fact, but – despite having embraced the digital revolution – I was still brought up to believe that an encyclopedia entry should be accurate.

Now, the Minister has not spawned: if I fall under a bus tomorrow, this could be my legacy.  And it’s wrong.  Which troubles me.

Perhaps I should just have another cup of tea and do some work.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all.
