Thanks Iain.  I should also probably note that this is a pending  
change which will roll out to the main website at some point this  
week.  The goal is to make the topic page more friendly to casual  
visitors, without reducing any of the edit functionality (and in fact  
improving it for data geeks).  To that end, we're splitting the topic  
page into a "consumer" version and a "geek" version.  What you see  
initially is the "consumer" version, but if you click on "Add more  
facts" you'll wind up on the edit page, which is pretty much the same  
as the current topic page.  Once you're on that page, clicking any  
links from there will keep you in the edit version of the page.   
(Note, however, that searches and saved views will lead you back to  
the consumer page.  We're working on using cookies to store your  
preferences about this.)
