Ordnance Survey would be a great addition to de-WP. I might write it
myself *g*. But do you expect kids to write on those - for them -
obscure topics? And if there are kids with knowledge and understanding
on these or other topics, they will be fascinated by Wikipedia and find
the project on their own. We don't need to recruit these prodigy childs.

Recruiting efforts should be done where contributions to Wikipedia are
not coming naturally. One of those fields are retired professionals.
