The Wikimedia Foundation encourages and promotes the use of Wikipedia within schools, despite the proliferation of pornographic and unencyclopedic material throughout the project. Some of this work is supported by tax-free donations.
Examples of such promotion are:
- A 2008 initiative for schools. "Dr Andrew Cates ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BozMo Wikipedia administrator BozMo), CEO of SOS Children (and also a Wikipedia administrator) said: "Wikipedia is an incredible phenomenon, and we are proud to have helped improve the accessibility of Wikipedia content to include users requiring remote access, child-friendly access and checked access. This year, general quality improvements on the English Wikipedia (particularly on requiring reliable sourcing for material) means the single most important selection criterion is now relevance or interest to children and manual content checking is slowly becoming secondary."
