How the content was selected and checked
Topics were chosen for interest to children, by relevance to the National
Curriculum and including much of the very best of Wikipedia. The selection is
vast, and covers core subjects but does not try to be uniformly detailed:
for example it has more depth on Llandudno, which is featured in the curriculum,
than other similar places.
Articles were chosen from a list ranked by importance and quality
generated by project members. This list of articles was then manually sorted
for relevance to children, and adult topics were removed. Compared to the 2007
version some six hundred articles were removed and two thousand more relevant
articles (of now adequate quality) were added. SOS Children volunteers then
checked and tidied up the contents, first by selecting historical versions of
articles free from vandalism and then by removing unsuitable sections. External
links and references are also not included since it was infeasible to check
all of the

Srikant JakilinkiWelcome to this Wikipedia Selection. This 2008/9 Wikipedia DVD Selection is a free, hand-checked, non-commercial selection from Wikipedia, targeted around the UK National Curriculum and useful for much of the English speaking world. It has about 5500 articles (as much as can be fitted on a DVD with good size images) and is about the size of a twenty volume encyclopaedia (34,000 images and 20 million words).
Topics were chosen for interest to children, by relevance to the National Curriculum and including much of the very best of Wikipedia.
The content can be navigated using a pictorial subject index, or a title word index of all topics.
This Selection includes thirty "Portal Pages", which give a brief overview of a topic and list some key articles within it. For example: Portal for Ancient Greece, Portal for Physics, Portal for Medieval Britain, the Food Portal or the Bangladesh Portal. You can use the indexes to find your way around but the best way is perhaps to pick an article and follow the links to other topics embedded in the text. For example, good starting places are Africa, The Solar System, Tsunami or Apple. -
