Appendix to: The level 1 weight 2 case of Serre's conjecture - a strategy for a proof

Abstract

In this appendix, we observe that our March preprint on Serre's conjecture was indeed correct: the only "missing argument" follows automatically from a result of Bockle and Ramakrishna. Thus, we get a proof of the level 1 weight 2 case of Serre's conjecture (a result that has been also proved independently by Khare and Wintenberger).
