Considering how Wikipedia considers newspapers to be reliable sources, this should be expected.

Certain newspapers, but not all... Specially if they don't lean the way most prolific author on article wants.

i can't say we can predict where all this is going or what will come out of this case. but wikipedia seems to have too much power over what constitute the "truth".
i recently read a book on cognitive science that has most of their sources from wikipedia.
