|quote=Scottish libraries are to recruit their first ever Wikimedian to put the nation's print archives online - but insist it will not make them redundant. The new temporary position aims to release material normally held within the walls of Scotland's libraries onto the internet through Wikipedia. The project, first proposed by Inverclyde Libraries, involves using Wikipedia as a marketing tool to increase interest in the nation's libraries, by self-promoting through the content they are providing.

The impact is largely driven by improvements to shorter and relatively incomplete pages on Wikipedia. Our findings highlight the value of content in digital public goods for informing individual choices.

|quote=First, the 'S'-word. The Wikipedia article on 'Slavery in Britain' discusses the slaving voyages of the mariner John Hawkins down the West African coast in the 1560s, and adds: 'Britain soon became the leader in the Atlantic slave trade.' But no, it didn't, unless 'soon' means 'in the following century'. Hawkins's three voyages were a one-off – or rather a three-off – and there was no serious attempt to repeat them until the 1640s.
