You know, while I despise spammers as much as the next person, it's worth
remembering that the "power of Wikipedia links" can be used for good, as
well. For instance, there was recently a project by librarians at the
[[University of Washington]] libraries to add relevant links to their online
special collections -- like collections of WWII photographs -- to the
appropriate Wikipedia articles. Surprise, surprise, their traffic
skyrocketed -- always a good thing for libraries looking for funding, and a
bonus for us as we get good, curated, non-profit links to collections people
might not find otherwise. Of course *we* know this but people at
institutions might not; libraries and museums and the like should always be
encouraged to add relevant links to their collections if they can.
