Is there an information leaflet (PDF) about Wikipedia that I can print and put on display at my local library? They are paying for a subscription to Encyclopaedia Britannica online, and it would be nice to provide information on a free alternative. It could also be nice to hear from librarians what comments they get from visitors when they recommend both Britannica and Wikipedia.
The leaflet should be glossy and eye-catching with a nice layout. Printing the "Wikipedia:about" HTML page is not an alternative. It could be a single full page or a three-fold.
I found an Esperanto three-fold on http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_promotion_material and I think an English translation of that (with other citations on the back) would be perfect.
If more material is available elsewhere, I guess links should be put on that meta page.

I just started on a direct translation of the Esperanto brochure, but I'd like to point out that the existing one is very out of date. LDan

I updated it a bit in July for the IJK, but the numbers are a little behind, and of course it's aimed specifically at the Esperanto-speaking audience. A literal translation would sound rather weird. :)
Feel free to use it as a basis, of course.

Yeah, now that I've started, I'm changing several sections completely that relate only to the Esperanto wikipedia. LDan

I think this is an excellent project. Keep me posted, I have several local libraries (municipal and two University) where I am a regular visitor and think it would be useful to deliver such a brochure.
What would be even cooler (and cheaper for me to reproduce well locally) would be a credit card CD that either contained or linked to a Wikipedia tutorial.
