5. Creating an Article on Wikipedia Based on a Community near the coast
The PDF thumbnails on the right links you to the scheme of work. Part 1 helps you create an article. Part 2 adds an Infobox.

6. Using Wikipedia in a website / The feed API
Many groups, societies and others can take a 'feed' from Wikipedia directly into their own websites. Here's an example by the BBC; take a look at the bottom of the page ('About').

7. Wikivoyage
Wikivoyage became a Wikimedia Project around a year ago. It is a “free worldwide travel guide that anyone can edit”. It’s not an encyclopaedia; in fact it’s a travel guide where you can add names of businesses, addresses, phone numbers etc.

8. eGuides
These can be created using the content on Wikipedia as free hand-outs or even sold to customers, as Wikipedia is licensed on CC-BY-SA which allows commercial use. Select the button on the right hand side of the article: 'Create a book'.
