A research desk, not a screenshot.
This page connects to the live MediaWiki API so visitors can pull current Wikipedia introductions on demand, then move outward to structured data and primary sources.
Live article desk
Wikipedia is the start, not the finish.
The live panel searches English Wikipedia via the MediaWiki Action API and fetches the introduction and lead image. The API supports anonymous cross-origin requests when the request includes origin=*.
For claims that matter, follow Wikipedia’s citations and compare the result with primary data from ABS, BOM, Geoscience Australia, NASA or DFAT.
