I could be mistaken, but I believe this is the first s230 case I'm aware of which specifically references Wikipedia?
I was wondering the same thing. Unlike Fuzzy Zoeller where individual editors were sued, this seems to be the first time a case against the WMF has come to trial, and therefore the first time the application of s. 230 to Wikipedia has been tested in court.
I just asked Mike Godwin, this is the first s230 case involving Wikpedia. Fuzzy Zoeller didn't even try to sue Wikipedia, he went straight to the person he believed was defaming him (or the business that had the IP).
