The point made by Russavia on *extremely* poor value for charitable monies is well made, especially as it now appears that the Wikimedia Foundation had a duty of care in the form of line management or oversight of this work. There are unimpressive direct links to Google books as a source citations, against Wikipedia best practices. Were this my research student I would wonder if they were surfing Google books and as a result only reading partial quotes, rather than getting the original out of the library and ensuring they have checked the entire source material and understood what the author intended.
These are understandable beginner mistakes, but when burning $50,000+ a year grant money, I would expect WMF officially endorsed paid editing to be first class examples.
