Reviews of wikipedpla:
Extremely useful if you are going to school and your instructor is telling you that you can't use wikipedia as a scholarly source. With this, you can research DPLA to find scholarly sources cited in wikipedia.
I helped Phette code this script at LibHack and it's been nifty from the beginning. It does just what it says, surfaces relevant documents and images on a live Wikipedia article. It pulls directly from DPLA's API and is a great way to go digital explorin' from the encyclopedic overview of Wikipedia to the archival treasures catalogued at the Digital Public Library of America. Neat!
