the topic is "Juggling in Copenhagen", then wouldn't a forum for
jugglers in Copenhagen be a really appropriate link?
The mission is not the plain vanilla 'be informative'.
Interesting comment from one of my non-Wikipedian friends. His colleagues at work tend to
access official health statistics through WP external links; because it's quicker
generally to do that, than to access the official site, in terms of getting to the
relevant page out of many. That's quite a plaudit.
