It might be worth mentioning simple.wikipedia.org?

Yes, to address the British teaching profession [[Wikipedia:Researching
with Wikipedia]] isn't really the concise guide that is needed. It looks
like a bunch of generalities addressed to American college students,
frankly. (Like much else on Wikipedia, hah. For reasons that are not
hard to understand.)
Imagine you're a teacher of a class of sixteen-year-olds, and you're
leaning over the shoulder of one of them looking at a WP article. Your
job is to tell them to click here/scroll there/read the tags at the
top/observe that this section has no footnotes, to some effect, so that
the student has a better idea of how to assess what they're looking at.
Ok, fair enough. We will be producing those kind of materials for the
schools project anyway, so we can easily make them available online
(and probably would anyway - it's just a matter of publicising it).
