With the amusing result that Wikipedia will cite newspaper articles that cite information from blogs, rather than directly citing the blog.
(Happened to me and my blog. And as a data point, out of some hundreds of newpaper etc articles about a blog post, the total number that seemed to involve any kind of value-added fact checking was 2.)
- mukyu 16y agoI have seen cases where news articles are written using the wikipedia article but not citing it and then the information in the original wikipedia article is citing using the news article that got the information from wikipedia in the first place.
