Wikipedia 0.9.1 is reference widgets software developed by Sean Billig.
Wikipedia pulls up entire wikipedia articles, complete with pictures, for viewing from the Dashboard.

Here are some key features of "Wikipedia":

  • Compatible with any language wikipedia, just enter the 2 letter code on the back. Defaults to English.
  • Click the wikipedia.org button to the right of the search field to open the current article or search term in Safari.
  • The little “?” button to the right of the search field will pull a random article into the widget (Special: Randompage query).

    What's New:
  • Wikipedia articles can now be edited from within the widget
  • User can now change font size
  • Added a pull-down menu to the back with the languages of the largest wikipedias
  • Added a comment button on the back for quick feedback
  • The links at the top of search results pages now work
  • 'Image:' pages work again
  • Cache works again
  • Searching for an article or clicking a link will no longer use a cached file. This eliminates the case sensitivity problem with certain searches (eg. "duluth, mn").
  • Now works when logged into an account (in Safari) with an alternative skin selected.
  • Updated the CSS from wikipedia.org
  • Shift-spacebar scrolls up, in addition to the spacebar scrolling down
  • Delete goes back in history, shift-delete goes forward
  • Tab and Cmd-f select the search box
  • The widget now shrinks to the size of the back before flipping
  • Dutch localization by Gustaaf Groenendaal
  • Danish localization by Niels Danielsen
  • Japanese localization by Gregory Senyshyn and Hiroko Ogura
  • Traditional and Simplified Chinese localizations by Xu Zhaoben.
