Looking at the actual report the treasure hunt concept seems interesting if the exact opposite of something I sometimes do with wikipedia (find a random slightly obscure source then use it to add info to appropriate wikipedia articles).
Pretty much. See a fact or article, it triggers your Wikipedia Sense, you go to the article ... and someone got there already.
(I scored adding the death of Encarta! w00t!)
My source (currently) is a book published in 1981 about Every Vickers built tank ever. Aside from being a bit fanboyish it's not bad.
