Wikipedia's incredibly dull, grey, reprocessed, caveat-laden house
style is also easy to spot a mile off when someone's
cutting'n'pasting.

And using it as a source for references is *excellent* stuff ... if
they remember to check the references say what they're claimed to say.
See previously concerning deserving what happens to them if they don't
