I forgot to mention - I was speaking to someone at the

Seminar last Thursday and they mentioned that their sister is a
teacher (11-16yos) and often has problems with students using
Wikipedia inappropriately (in the sense of repeating things that
aren't true). She said it would be useful if we could put together a,
say, 5 page guide, on the best way to use Wikipedia.
Does anyone know if there is anything similar already out there and
could anyone help out with putting something like this together?
Eleven through sixteen is a broad range. I know there's several project
administrators fall in that group but...
For the 11-13 range I'd suggest they use Wikipedia for Schools. They can
install it locally if they like, and actually letting the upper-end
15/16 loose on the mediawiki install would be the *perfect* education on
how Wikipedia can have false information inserted.
