[Wikipedia-l] Newspaper links article keywords to Wikipedia

[Henry Tan-Tenn]

Taipei Times, a leading English-language daily in Taiwan, recently (I 
think) added a function that allows on-line readers to "Wikipedia-ize" a 
number of pre-selected keywords in its articles.  The keywords do not 
necessarily correspond to existing en: articles.  I have not seen an 
explanation posted regarding the thinking or motivation behind it (not 
being a regular reader), but it would seem to be a push to have its 
readers engage Wikipedia, perhaps conveniently incorporating or citing 
the paper's contents along the way.  For an example see 
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/archives/2005/03/14/2003246212 (link 
labeled "Wikipedia" on the right).
