Not surprisingly, the UK courts do not take that view, and reciprocal legal arrangements between the US and the UK make it possible to pursue non-payment of UK judgements in US courts.
Not surprisingly, you are misinformed on this point. UK courts take the view that they do not have jurisdiction over US publications. For example, were the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to defame a Briton, they would not be able to sue in UK courts.
I don't think any court would see Wikipedia as being a newspaper.
