Along these lines, I've been thinking of modifying the page so that
there's a block of text (similar in look to the Nupedia attribution
requirement) that says something short and to the point. "This is
a User Created Encyclopedia. Click <a>here</a> to learn how to
contribute."
When they click there, they get to some of our pages about how to
contribute, how to make pages, etc.
Other ideas would be:
"Wikipedia: The user created encyclopedia with 2,173 articles! Click
<a>here</a> to learn how to contribute!"
Where the count is updated automatically from time to time.

I think Wikipedia's logo is groovy, but it says
nothing about the fact
that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. That was my first thought. Then I
looked at a page and imagined that I had just stumbled across it on the
net, and had no idea what it was about. It is simply not immediately
obvious that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia!
So, maybe what we could do is have a logo that says that Wikipedia is an
encyclopedia. At the same time we might adopt a slogan, something like
"The user-created encyclopedia." Ideas?
