Good news for pedants Wikipedia has finally got a native iOS app. It even lets you edit pages on the go.
Now next time you get into an argument in the pub, you can simply tap open the app and if it turns out youre wrong you can edit the page to make it appear that youre correct.
A Wikipedia app has been available for a while but had previously been essentially an app-like shell on top of a HTML5 website. Now though it has been completely re-written for deeper integration. The makers claim that it faster than ever.
The app also has some nifty features, including the ability to save pages for offline viewing, a list of recent pages for when you fall down the rabbit hole, and the ability to share pages.
Crucially it also makes editing whilst mobile easy. This will not only make quick changes easier for editors, but will also open up Wikipedia editing to the previously disenfranchised who may only have mobile access to the internet such as people in developing countries.
You can grab the app from the app store.

Mensaje Editaton Wikipedia sobre el terremoto de 1985 - Video
Thailand has celebrated the eighth anniversary of the 2006 coup by blocking all of Thai Wikipedia while ministers talk about transition to the digital economy.
Visitors to th.wikipedia.com on Friday 19 September were directed to the ICT ministry's block screen citing inappropriate content. The block was on most fixed line ISPs but mobile connections remained unaffected.
Wikipedia's home page was showing an article on the 2006 coup that saw the ousting of Thaksin Shinawatra. The regulator, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission had earlier ordered all broadcasters not to talk about the past in order to preempt anyone using the anniversary as an excuse to cause disharmony.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales told TelecomAsia that this was not the first time something like this has happened, but thankfully past blocks have not led to anything permanent.
The block occurred on 3BB, TOT, CAT and Uninet (university ISP), but not on True or on any of the mobile operators.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of ICT will relaunch itself as the Ministry Of Digital Economy with junta leader General Prayuth Chanocha personally chairing the policy board.
ICT minister Pornchai Rujiprapa said that the the ministry's will absorb NECTEC, the ministry of science's National Electronics And Computer Technology Center and will need to renegotiate areas of overlap with the NBTC.
Pornchai said the new ministry will focus on fiber infrastructure, software and society.
He said that General Prayuth has given a directive for the end to end creation of a home-grown tablet for schoolchildren.
