Press release logbook/pr-en-500k

Wikipedia Publishes 500,000th Article in English Edition

This is a list of potential and actual press-release recipients. Brackets next to a name indicate the kind of contact info we have. Contact info which exists online is gathered here; some other contact info is noted here but not listed. Please obfuscate email addresses to foil spambots. If you have contact info to share, but don't want it on a public wiki, there is a semi-private wiki where you can put non-googlable content; leave a note on the talk page for access to it.

KEY:

Contact person | jw: jwales, joi: joi ito, ang: angela, sj: sj, etc... (add yourself)
Contact format | em: email, ph: phone [for non-public contact info, else it is just listed]

How to send a press release:
First, read the page by that title. Then on this page, before you send a release,

add a line for the person you want to contact, or find someone on this list to contact who has not already been claimed.
add just your name at the end of the line before contacting them (~~~) This helps avoid contacting people more than once.
add a timestamp by your name after contacting them. (~~~~~) sign with a timestamp (~~~~).
remember to watch for publication of the press release, and link to it from the log entry.

You can also help by adding contact information for news outlets, or by claiming an unclaimed outletsending a release to an outlet listed here but unclaimed.
