  • The Wikipedia Selection is a DVD selection of articles taken from Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, and was first produced in April 2006. There have been two major revisions since then, the 2007 version in April 2007 and the 2008/9 version in October 2008. It was the first available English language CD version of Wikipedia. The disc is produced by the charity SOS Children. The DVD's content totals twenty million words and 34,000 images, equivalent to a twenty volume encyclopaedia. The DVD contained 5,500+ articles of particular interest to schools or children and is sorted by UK National Curriculum subjects (for example;,,, and so on). The articles were manually selected from the English Wikipedia by volunteers working for SOS Children, checked for suitability for children and cleaned by hand and script. This additional step helps overcome what are perceived by educators as the problems with Wikipedia.
