How would you improve Wikipedia?

I was thinking about this one day, because I think it is important to think how we can improve things we like and use a lot, and I thought of a few possibilities:

1. Quality assurance factors with suggestions for reliable research - This could be a bit like a widget that shows Google Scholar results based on some aspect of the current page.
2. Better citing tools - These might be simply citation suggestions based on related search results.
3. Ways to inspire people to correct more articles and write new articles, especially people who have valuable knowledge. 
4. Expert days or other short periods where many experts are asked to write in wikipedia. A bit like talk like a pirate day or earth day, but instead just make wikipedia much better day. 
5. History Colouring - It looks like they should be doing this now but seems they are not. If good data was collected on this method we could also create some kind of quality assurance based on the same methodology.
6. Fewer advertisements from Jimmy Wales heart. I know they need money I just hate the way they ask for it. Partially because of an interesting situation highlighted by Aaron Swartz in his widely read article "Who Writes Wikipedia?"

What do you think?
