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.

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.
