World's first Wikipedia town to launch in Wales - Yahoo! Finance

World's first Wikipedia town to launch in Wales - Yahoo! Finance: "LONDON (AP) -- A small Welsh town where English King Henry V was born is about to make history again by becoming the world's first "Wikipedia town."
Visitors from Saturday will be able to use smartphones to scan barcodes at points of interest in Monmouth in Wales' southeast, instantly bringing up a Wikipedia page about the landmark on their phones, in whatever language they are set to.
Wikimedia UK —which works to support, develop and promote Wikimedia Foundation projects such as Wikipedia — says hundreds of articles about the life and history of the town will be available online in more than 26 languages, from Hindi to Hungarian."
