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
