Hi Lars!

I get more and more Wikipedia-related hints from outside of the standard
Wikipedia channels :-) You wrote:

Thanks for the script. I missed to mention the possibility of catalouge
enrichement with such backward links in my last talk:

"Knowledge Organization with Wikipedia – Joining the Free Encyclopaedia
and Digital Libraries" - held at the NKOS Workshop at ECDL 2006

This should also be interesting to other librarians that might want to
collaborate with Wikipedia.
