Updating CV and Wiki Information
«

On the market, I've just received a big grant and know from the fora that now I update my CV and forward it to the SCs. According to the wiki, most have already contacted the applicants they want to interview. The lists apparently don't include me, because I haven't heard from anyone. On the other hand, I haven't received any rejections, either. Who should receive my updated CV: all the SCs or only those that the wiki says still haven't contacted interviewees?
Thanks!

I would update everyone.
Maybe it's because I was first on the market before wikis became so widespread, but I've never viewed them as a particularly reliable or official source of info on the job market. As such, who knows what the real story is at the places where you've applied? Just be sure the news is update-worthy (and it sounds from the OP like it is).

I agree with sugaree. I had greyed out one institution from my spreadsheet after reading the Wiki, only to be contacted for a telephone interview days later. It's impossible to guess what's happening within any search, so unless they've formally rejected you, I think it's best to pass along this kind of informaiton.
Good luck!

Until you get a formal rejection, assume you're in the running and update them.
