There are a lot of popular websites listed - but Wikipedia isn't there!
Maybe we could all check out our local libraries, for similar pages, and ask the staff to include Wikipedia, if they don't already?
After my experience on Saturday, when my daughter went to the featured article of the day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_II) and was greeted by large pornographic images injected into the article through unprotected templates, if I were were in charge of a library or a school I would be very hesitant about linking to Wikipedia from my institute's main page.
That must have been very unpleasant for both of you. However, I would counter with the observation that it's also possible for someone to slip an image cut from a pornographic magazine between the pages of a library book; if that were to happen, we would neither expect nor encourage librarians to stop recommending books.
