The Higher Education Supplement of the Australian in speculating whether the current Vice Chancellor of Lancaster University in the UK is in the running to become VC of the University of Sydney, uses information from wikipedia to describe the candidate:-
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22363294-14981,00.html
Some of that information is what I added when I started the article in January 2006 when I saw a redlink and made a stub. One would have thought that the premier newspaper in Oz would do I bit more research for a candidate to be VC of the oldest university in Oz, particulary when the article has no references. The article is:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wellings_%28Lancaster_University%29
I guess I had better find some sources.

Better put a note on the talk page before someone tries to use that newspaper article as a Reliable Source ;-)

I indended to add to my earlier message that if they had not said it came from wikipedia and they made errors (I do not think they did), then it would have been used to change the article to be incorrect but based on independent outside sources.
I've added some real sources anyway and rewritten some stuff that was a direct copy from one source.
