Suggestion: Parallel Resources for the Wikipedia Tool

Mark Barnes

The Wikipedia tool is awesome. I'd use it more if I could get to it quickly. Therefore I'd suggest:

Adding the tool to the Parallel Resource menu for English Headwords where there's an appropriate Wikipedia article. It could either be at the top of "All Parallel Resources", or above/below ordinary resources.
Adding a parallel resource menu to the Wikipedia tool, so we can switch from the tool to ordinary resources.

Mark, your suggestions are very interesting. (especially linking users back into their library)

As for quick access, are you aware that you can get to the Wikipedia feature via the right-click context menu on any selection? (This obviously doesn't guarantee there is an article represented by your arbitrary selection, but Wikipedia probably has good coverage on most headwords in other resources)

Yes, I know that, will sometimes use it to get to a new article. But my practice tends to be to use the context menu to open my first dictionary to a new article, then use the parallel resource menu to move to secondary dictionaries for the same article.

Also, as I use this more, I wonder whether the greatest advantage of the Wikipedia tool is its coverage. That being the case, I really want to have it available when other lookups fail. With that it mind:

When I choose lookup, Logos should open Wikipedia if it has an article and none of my dictionaries do.
Wikipedia should be listed on the Power Lookup Tool.

I like it. I too hope Wikipedia continues to be integrated in more and more places in future releases of Logos 6. I will pass along your suggestions. [Y]
