"Wikipedia Influences How Judges Work"

The comparison of the unpublished and published Wikipedia pages showed the 20% increase in citations of cases that were documented on Wikipedia. That's a statistically significant increase, MIT said. The effect was particularly strong for cases that supported the judge's decision.

The connection was weaker for higher courts, though. That's probably because "Wikipedia is used more by judges or clerks who have a heavier workload, for whom the convenience of Wikipedia offers a greater attraction," the MIT researchers concluded.
Ha. Ha. ha.

Anyone in a professional capacacity like this, who uses wikipedia, should be fired. Wikipedia is biased and unreliable and those that use it are professional hacks!
