Wikipedia was recently quoted in a New York Times piece, "Buzzing the Web on a Meme Machine" at
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/26/arts/26meme.html?th
Here's the quote:
'Wikipedia, the free collaborative online encyclopedia, calls the Internet "the ultimate meme vector."'
This is from [[Meme#Can memes be resisted?]].
What is of interest here is that this nice piece of writing is most likely "original research". After all where is the established knowledge which would back up this rather commonplace but bright turn of phrase?
Thank God, the deleters and reverters haven't gotten around to trashing it and replacing it with "memes spread rapidly on the internet".
