    Gunther, this looks like a great idea! We've definitely had people
    who had problems with reviewers when trying to cite pages on the
    wiki. The site mentions that it can generate a doi for a page on
    request, which is what we've been talking about for a while. It
    mentions this feature is available to "premium members." What does
    this entail?
    
> Regarding your section "Cite this page", please consider to recommend
> use of WebCite (http://www.webcitation.org) to archive the pages
> before they are cited. URLs and the content changes. Taking a snapshot
> with WebCite ensures not only long-term digital preservation, but also
> that readers who access cited material still see exactly the same
> version as the citing author.
>
> The more elgant solution would be to add (as described on
> http://www.webcitation.org/archive) a dynamic link to the left
> sidebar, saying "Cite this page!", linking to
> http://www.webcitation.org/archive?url=openwetware.org/wiki/THISURL&title=TITLE_OF_PAGE&author=AUTHORS&date=TODAY&source=OA+Librarian&subject=SUBJECT
>
> (plug in the variables as appropiate).
>
> This will link to the archiving form, which will ultimately also give
> citing authors a citation suggestion, including the WebCite ID.
