QR Code
Devised in 1994 by Toyota. Used in UK as a gimmick
for marketing.
We wanted to use QR codes in addition to labels
We installed QR codes in Derby museum on sample objects
Visitors were reading facts not written by curators
Both Wikipedians and curators could edit the Wikipedia page

•Allows mobile access to the Wikipedia page in your language
By April all QR codes replaced
We created a web site to receive the QRpedia requests

“Collateral damage”
The Wikipedia article about Derby is now in 60 languages. Most objects in the museum now have a QRpedia code.
However:
Nearby bridges got articles, churches, the library next door, castles, archaeological sites and in different languages
Paintings that people thought were in Derby (but are not) got articles
Paintings that were in storage got articles
