Talk pages: sparse communications, but when appropriate it can be constructive. The use of edit descriptions is perhaps more like many-2-many.

Coinciding with the arrival of the book made this little project even more effective. It has marked the arrival of the wiki cider pub guide onto the scene in a big way in just 8 months.
A lull in activity on the wiki was turned into a flood through focussing attention on it.
Some people don't "get" the wiki and will just offer up their contributions to the list. Some of these could then get lost, but if there are just a small number of wiki editors who keep an eye out then they will still get through.
A useful critique of my methods:-
"What I would think is more important is to add more to the Devon,
Somerset and Dorset sections. At the time of writing, these counties
each appear to have only 14 outlets,"
Some Camra bashing and loyalty to ukcider voiced.
Appreciation for the forum and for my work.
"More power to the wiki Cider Pub Guide."
