I think a better Wikipedia entry point is

but I maintain that the Glickman refs and discussion I already
linked to are a better starting point.
Indeed -- I simply took a quick look for a publicly accessible
description of the Bradley-Terry model (i.e., Googled "Bradley-
Terry"), and that's the first link that popped up. I just skimmed
Glickman's "A Comprehensive Guide to Chess Ratings," and that includes
a very nice description of the Bradley-Terry model and how it relates
to the Elo rating system.
Thanks for the correction.
