 Typos and minor errors can most often be corrected quickly, or if there's a broken link and the new URL is easily obtained that could be a good edit to make to a Wikipedia article or a wiki page. More substantial changes and fixes to this wiki may not be worth it though. Depending on how things go I might not get to it for a few weeks or a month.

-Otter.ai was successfully able to get a variety of proper nouns including {{WPExtract|Nikita Khrushchev}}, {{WPExtract|Leonid Brezhnev|Brezhnev}}, {{WPExtract|ZiL|ZiL limousine}}, {{WPExtract|Bolshevik|Bolsheviks}}, {{WPExtract|Alexei Kosygin|Kosygin}}. In the case of Kosygin, for the first name, the spelling "Alexei Kosygin" looks to be more standard in results from ProQuest than  "Alexey Kosygin" which is what Otter.ai got though both are listed in the Wikipedia article on the name with the title [[wikipedia:Alexey|Alexey]].
