Stephen Sackur recently interviewed Jimmy Wales and to back up his criticism of wikipedia he brought up his own page and scutinised the inaccuracy of the section on his education. Angryafghan (talk) 04:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
He did mention that it was a minor detail - could be a tough one to find. Anyone fancy writing to him to verify his bio? Rgds, - Trident13 (talk) 10:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Saw that two, he just mentioned one detail in that section. Interesting that he noted the lack of referencing for it yet the only addition in response to the interview was a note that he interviewed Jimbo, how notable would that be anyway? Someone know enough to reference and expand this article?- J Logant: 19:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps it would be best to pare down the educational reference to what his BBC official bio states: "Stephen was educated at both Cambridge and Harvard universities." Then if there is an error it can at least be said Wikipedia is no less accurate than the BBC in this matter. Andrew Riddles (talk) 12:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I note that the county of Spilsby, Sackur's birthplace, was recently switched from Lincolnshire to Yorkshire in the article. Google maps seems to know only one Spilsby, which is firmly within Lincolnshire, so I've switched it back. --Tony Sidaway 11:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
