Although I was at first cold to the idea of including the Wikipedia tab in the dictionary word look up window, I've now changed my mind. I just encountered the word Gaue' [spelling from book]. When I selected it to get a definition, the dictionary tab was blank but the Wikipedia tab correctly defined it as a German term for a "region within a country". I checked and Gaue is not in either of the Oxford English dictionaries included with the PW2. I read a lot of histories about non-English areas of the world, so the Wikipedia tab will probably get more use than I thought.
