* [httr](http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/httr/index.html) and its dependencies.

To-Do

* Look for a more elegant way of handling the parameter names in the returned JSON block;

* Introduce authentication, via both direct MediaWiki authentication and OAuth

Thanks and misc

Thanks to, in no particular order:

* [Adam](https://github.com/Protonk), for being the person who got me through my baby steps in R, and;

* [Hadley](https://github.com/hadley), both for httr and his wonderful API wrapper tutorial, which I have liberally stolen from, and;

* [Toby](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:TNegrin_%28WMF%29), for not firing me for working on this.

An etymological note; while a lot of people reflexively twitch at people using CamelCase in package names, the opportunity here was too good to resist. "WikipediR" is a reference both to the R convention of having package names that consist of [thing the package does] + [reference to R], and the link format in UseModWiki, the predecessor to MediaWiki, that used CamelcaseinG to indicate what the author intended to be a link (this is also where the "WikipediA" logo comes from).
