[[Reuters]] [[September 6]], [[2005]]. [http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticleSearch.aspx?storyID=247823+06-Sep-2005+RTRS&srch=wikipedia] "The Wikipedia, which has surged this year to become the most popular reference site on the Web, is fast overtaking several major news sites as the place where people swarm for context on breaking events. ..." * Clarke, Gavin. "Wikipedia eclipses CIA". ''[[The Register]]'', [[September 7]], [[2005]]. [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/07/wikipedia_growth/] *: "Wikipedia is fast becoming the number-one online resource for web surfers hungry for context about breaking news, in what must be a sad comment on the ability for traditional news media to keep its audiences well-informed." *Brown, Russell. "Wide Area News". ''[[New Zealand Listener]]'', [[September 10]], [[2005]]. [http://nzlistener.co.nz/default,4637.sm] *:"...at the time of writing, nearly two weeks after the event, the online Britannica has failed to register [[David Lange]]'s passing β whereas the Wikipedia page for Lange was updated within a couple of hours of his death and has blossomed since..." *:"The remarkable thing about ''Wikipedia'' is that it is written not by academic mandarins in ivory towers but by you and me. ... In general, it works well enough for the site to be a great first port of call for general knowledge. *Clark, Christopher. "Ryan Dunn." [[London Free Press]], [[September 13]], [[2005]]. *:[[University of Western Ontario]] [[University Students' Council]] president Ryan Dunn lists www.wikipedia.ca as his favourite website; unfortunately that link has nothing to do with wikipedia... *O'Neill, Rob.

[http://theage.com.au/articles/2005/09/19/1126981972296.html] *:"King downloaded the entire English-language version of co-operatively produced online encyclopedia Wikipedia to a readable DVD-ROM to allow it to be accessed from a computer without an internet connection.

[http://theage.com.au/articles/2005/09/19/1126981972225.html] *:"In small rooms beyond a corridor busy with a bathroom queue, dorm bunks and backpacks, the Wikipedians are plotting the new world order. Mild-mannered men hatch wild schemes of omniscience with dreams of bringing true democracy to Iran and education to Indonesia, and enabling the next Einstein to come from Africa." *[[Craccum]], Auckland University Students' Association magazine. Issue 19, 2005 displayed the Wikipedia page [[Content]]s as its table of contents. That article has since been moved to [[User:Ghostclub/Craccum]]. *La Canna, Xavier. "Website denigrates Wiesenthal".

[...] The Council of Australian Jewry was angered at the posting on the Wikipedia website, which gets about 60 million hits a day, and said it was a blatant attempt to denigrate the memory of Mr Wiesenthal. "I suppose if you are a former Nazi or sympathiser then it makes sense to try and denigrate the person who is bringing you down," said executive officer with the group, Josh Landis. This is abhorrent and shows a lack of respect to his memory." Mr Landis said he would informally speak with other members of the council to see what action could be taken against he website." *::''This appears to refer to an anon edit to [[Simon Wiesenthal]] by 66.99.233.35 at 2315 UTC on 20 September. It was reverted by another anon editor at 2318 UTC, and was deleted from the edit history by administrator [[User:Mindspillage|Mindspillage]] at 0320 UTC. An email sent to "The Age"s 'React to this story' address explaining this was deleted unread.'' *Corrections and clarifications ''[[The Guardian]]'' [[28 September]] [[2005]] *:In the text of a report, English or Italian?
