I'm very new to the open library, but see a lot
of potential in it.  I've contributed a little
bit so far using my own books as source.

This morning I was expanding Ernest Raymond's
"Tell England" and was about to put in a description
when I remembered there was a very good Wikipedia
item on it, so I simply put in a link.

Any problem with that ?   Maybe others already do
this, and Wikipedia seems a very good resource.
Thinking along these lines, I just broke off to
put a similar link in the author page.

If this seems like a good idea to Open Library
old hands then I will continue doing this kind
of thing.  Of course the advantage is that the
Wikipedia people will maintain the data.

Perhaps a formal cooperation could be set up,
with them linking back to the Open Library ?
