For those of you unfamiliar with Wikipedia, it is the open-source
equivalent of an Encyclopedia (it's an imperfect tool for most serious
research, but a great diversion for the idle contemplator). Anyone can
contribute, whether they have an account or not, and is encouraged to
do so. Every change is recorded in the history of the article, and
poor additions are usually, with haste, deleted with reversion to a
previous archived version.
Ada's entry just saw the light of day this month, so please feel free
to contribute to the entry or, if nothing else, expand the list of
quotations with those you find suitable. Examples of other Wiki-
articles are readily available if you wonder about format (visit the
entry on "Nabokov" himself to find links to entries of other books;
please make corrections if you discover any blatantly false or
questionable information). If you'd like to make a sweeping change to
an entry, it's usually best to discuss it on the appropriate page
(click the "discussion" tab, next to the "article" tab, in the upper
region of the page).
