Possible mention[edit]
Since this may fall under WP:AUTO, I'm going to list it here and let someone else decide. ;)
I made a point of mentioning Wikipedia in a recent interview at whitedust.net. Wikipedia also came up multiple times during the related Slashdot thread. I figure it's a tenuous case for whether or not it counts as "Wikipedia in the News", but I wanted to at least point it out. :) The interview is probably also worth adding under either "References" or "External links" at Elonka Dunin.

Another mention[edit]
Here is another mention I stumbled accross
- A little plagiarism never did a student any harm, Mark Steel, The Independent, 15 March 2006.
The article can be read for free on UK Watch at A Little Plagiarism.
He says "The Wikipedia website, which appears to be the main source for Oxford students’ essays, could have a laugh by writing stuff such as President Harry Truman invented gravity and goldfish were discovered by the Belgians, just to see it pop up in hundreds of exam answers"
