I liked the Montana history wiki driving people to a range of resources in a range of locations. I liked that some of the links took me to books. This wiki seemed well designed as a comprehensive starting point for research about the history of Montana.
The Princeton Public Library wiki also very interesting as a good way of organising reviews to promote collection items.
From the library success wiki I looked at the Stevens County Rural Library District wiki which aims to be a wiki for the community about the community. It is still early days - but it is an interesting idea.
The workplace entry in wikipedia is very brief. It could still be brief and link to information on the web site. We could edit the entry to drive traffic to our site and to specific digitised items. This could be done selectively to help people do resource disovery. We could also include other 'notes' links (why is it just to Duran Duran) and link to Matthew Reilly and his novel Contest.
I only did a little editing on the visitor information wiki - but it is easy to do.

Did you hear about the WikiNorthia project in Victoria? A number of local government areas have combined to create a social history wiki about living in the area. It's being launched in February.
