I first became interested in contributing to Wikipedia as a direct result of looking at answers.com articles.

Say, are there examples of people who do this well, contributing back to Wikipedia or to the general public? The examples I've seen are all a bit disappointing, but perhaps that's just because the outrageous ones generate more attention.
Answers.com is an excellent example. They license Wikipedia content and also license content from many other more traditional sources, and offer it up to people who search on their site. They have always been a strong supporter of Wikimedia and have been traditionally the #1 sponsor of the annual Wikimania conference.
So they benefit from our work, and they give back to the community as well.
