2016: I’ve moved these notes on errors in the Oxford Companon to Beer twice now. It was originally placed in a wiki that has long since gone dormant and unkept.
2015-ish: I have moved the content of the OCB Commentary Wiki here. It is now a static document and pretty much is locked in as understandings existed as of 2012. Probably needs its own wiki to update the content! Below are the original introductory remarks:
“The purpose of this wiki is to collectively make comments, add annotation, identify errata and suggest further sources to the text of The Oxford Companion to Beer. Members are asked to avoid comment about the authors, the structure of the text or other extraneous matters. This wiki is a not for profit project that reviews the text pursuant to the concept of “fair dealing for the purpose of criticism or review” under Canadian copyright law.” Alan McLeod, wiki Organizer, and chief bottle washer at A Good Beer Blog. Motto? “Many hands make pleasant work.” Alan McLeod, 25 October 2011. Please provide some information about yourself when making a request to join the wiki. Anonymous requests for membership will not be approved. Overly ardent and rudely put claims to authority will be cause for removal from the membership. As of 11 January 2012, 134 entries or 12.2% of the total of 1,100 received commentary, many with multiple comments. Eight of the photos have been corrected as well. That number rose to 151 by 13 May 2012.
