I'm not going to start an edit war but shouldn't it be on wikipedia rather than in. If not why?Beligaronia 22:26, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Gee... 1: Ian on Wikipedia sounds like a commentary by Mr. Stewart about the online encyclopedia.
2: Who ever read anything on a book or on a newspaper? (We do see it on television, mind you.) Nor does one look anything up on the Brittanica. We say it's in print.
3: Why on?

The way I use the language, the article is on Wikipedia. In that it is hosted on the website rather than about the website. However I have changed this title to "Wikipedia article on ian stewart, in the interest of maintaining peace. If you object change it back. I won't revert etc.Beligaronia 06:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Interesting: the on construction is used elsewhere here, while Wikipedia itself tends to use at, which at least avoids the confusion over who is talking about what. My arguments above remain unanswered. "Wikipedia on Stewart" is fine, too. I'm glad you won't be declaring war (I just assumed it was a typo.) --Old Dickens 14:52, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
