Os filhos da Wikipedia

Veropedia is a collaborative effort by a group of Wikipedians to collect the best of Wikipedia's content, clean it up, vet it, and save it for all time. These articles are stable and cannot be edited, The result is a quality stable version that can be trusted by students, teachers, and anyone else who is looking for top-notch, reliable information.

O projecto SAPO Saber é baseado na versão Portuguesa e Brasileira da Wikipedia e tem como principal objectivo o de se diferenciar não só através da utilização do Português de Portugal mas também em dois pontos que achamos importantes, o maior investimento na cultura do nossos País e a certificação de conteúdos. [com a conversa que vai em O Eixo Da Portugalidade: Mais Um Grande Projecto do Sapo em Gestação!.]

'Wikistrangers' are as trustworthy as regular editors: researchers at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, evaluated contributions to the Dutch and French Wikipedias. They judged the quality of a contribution by how long it survived subsequent edits and found that edits made by infrequent, anonymous users lasted as long as those by committed, registered editors.

Using Wikipedia to Reenvision the Term Paper: The structure of the traditional term paper can limit its educational value. To make the assignment more meaningful, students published their papers in Wikipedia.
