On the page The common-base amplifier, the topmost picture, I think all the arrows are the wrong way around. Current flows from + to - , and the potiental on the collector is the highest, meaning the current flows from the collector to the base and emitter connections.

Small typo on he same page:
Since it obviously can't boost signal current, it only seems reasonable to expect it to boost signal voltage. A SPICE simulation of the circuit in Figure below will vindicate that assumption.
Correction:
Since it obviously can't boost signal current, it only seems reasonable to expect it to boost signal voltage. A SPICE simulation of the circuit in Figure below will indicate that assumption.
