I've uploaded an A4 PDF of a set of four (I couldn't think of an idea to 
use a whole page) flyers (with tear-offs that way "www.wikipedia.org" on 
the sides) at 
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:wikipedia_flyers_PM.pdf .  I see 
some potential problems with my design:
* those tear-offs might be inappropriate/too numerous/too small in this 
case.
* the "got knowledge?" slogan might seem uncreative.
* the "Wikipedia knows more than you (don't worry -- it knows more than 
us too)" might still seem pretentious.
If you have OpenOffice.org, use the source file 
(http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:wikipedia_flyers_PM.sxd) to revise it.
