• Wikipedia citation code placed at the bottom of pages on the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum.
• Wikipedia citation code at the bottom of pages on the Powerhouse Museum online catalog.

2. Edit articles on topics of interest to your institution, improving article quality

3. Create discrete sections for collection information or independent articles for collections
