That's a good point - public libraries have a mandate to help their comunities connect
with their history. Edit-a-thons that encourage patrons to work on local articles fill
that need, and also help connect patrons with the p.l.'s holdings through their
research.

I think that public library are interested on promoting their comunity; so it will be
usefull to emphasize that information on local historical churches, monuments (note: I
live in Italy ;-) has most visiblity on the web if they are on WIkipedia than on the
website of the library.

5. Anybody can access an article's talk page, and
everyone can edit an article
There are articles that are frozen and can't be edited. I think
information about these, why they are frozen and how to contact
the author to ask him/her to make a change, would be useful.
