German government agency to fund accurate Wikipedia articles
From Ars Technica:
The German government—one small part of it, at least—now recognizes Wikipedia as an important distribution channel for public information, and it's setting aside funds to create more accurate articles.The Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR), Germany's Agency of Renewable Resources, is one small part of the much larger Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection (BMELV), a ministry more used to putting out press releases about "progress in saving Baltic cod" than Wikipedia. But, according to the FNR, part of its budget will be set aside to fund a three-year program aimed at providing accurate German-language information about specialized renewable resource topics.
