CITASA,

Hello! As part of a class I'm helping to teach this semester, I'm 
looking at what specific knowledge is part of 'expertise' on Wikipedia. 
For pedagogical purposes, I'm creating a kind of 'Wikipedia Quiz' that 
contains simple true/false or multiple choice questions about things 
that more experienced users on Wikipedia might know.

For example, one question I've thought of is:

How far back in the edit history of a Wikipedia article is it possible 
to browse?
a.	The last six months
b.	The last year
c.	Since the last major revision
d.	Since the creation of the article
e.	I don’t know

Anyway, I thought there are many knowledgeable CITASA folks out there 
who might share their thoughts, brainstorm a bit on other nuggets, 
nuts-and-bolts type pieces of information that one might learn through 
experience with Wikipedia.

Thanks in advance for any and all ideas!
