Evaluation

The Vicipéid haes been favourably receivit bi some Erse-leid media. In his paper on Putting the learning back into learning technology, Barry McMullin of Dublin Ceety Varsity suggestit that whiles the Erse Wikipaedia is niver likely tae conteen as mony airticles as the Wikipaedias in the warld's maist widespreid leids, it is aye a uisefu resoorce.

Ither academic soorces hae emphasised the steid's eddicational value. The role o the Vicipéid as an eddicational tuil at tertiary leivel haes been acknawledged in the contex o Wikimedia uise, involvin projecks supportit bi Varsity o Galway.
