I don't think you even need a large graph! People have observed this happening with just two nodes, where one of the nodes is Wikipedia [1] — some website states information they learned on (or copied from) Wikipedia, and then Wikipedia cites that website as a primary source.

Then hundreds of websites cite the wikipedia article, some without revealing their source, then become additional citations for the Wikipedia article.
