The latest PC magazine (Feb 21 2006) in
its letters ("Feedback") has one from a Wikipersonage,
Chris Sherlock, responding about the limitations of
Wikipedia:

"Although Wikipedia has many oddball articles
(for instance we have one on exploding whales) not everything can be
included. We routinely delete articles about people who are deemed
non-notable (admittedly, this is a fairly low standard - we have an
article on David Ossman)."

I note articles the other 3 or 4, the FST and some of
the albums. But not one article on me (although a mention)

I've added this to David's page and added a new definition:

One Ossman: the smallest unit of fame that will get you into Wikipedia.
