I think I'm metadata-aware enough to be trusted with
read-only SQL access to wikipedia, but I've been wrong
in the past and can't think of anything immediately useful
I'd do if I did have select access.
Since it appears to be a fairly strongly copyleft project, I
assume you have published its SQL data model?
