{{helpme}} Hi Ian. I'm thinking of asking my students, as an assignment, to do a critique of a given Wikipedia page. If they do a good job then I can incorporate some of their comments. However, the page may, of course, change during the course of this exercise – which would be rather confusing. Is there a way of referring to a given version of a Wikipedia page? John

Hi John, and welcome to Wikipedia. You can select just one revision of a page - just click the "Permanent link" button in your toolbox (on the bottom left of the menu bar to the far left of the screen in most browsers). Here are a couple of pages to check it that might help in relation to what you are planning: Wikipedia:FAQ/Schools & Wikipedia:School and university projects. I hope this helps :-) --Pumpmeup 09:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
