<CPOV> UvA students create new Wikipedia entries and blog about it

[Athina Karatzogianni]

Hi Geert and all,

Not one to make compliments lightly, I just wanted to say I had a look at
the master theses and I am very impressed with the work. It is a true
accomplishment.

Thank you for sharing.

All the best

Athina
