So the content of the WSJ article may be behind a paywall, but I just did a cursory search of the researcher's 2009 Ph.D. thesis which was a quantitative analysis http://libresoft.es/Members/jfelipe/phd-thesis of Wikipedia in several languages.
I didn't see any of the graphs from the piece or any conclusions in the thesis which are equivalent to the statements made in the Journal, so this must be new research.

I don't know about "every" library, but libraries are about more than just books, and librarians are not unaware of the wonders of databases in our modern digital age. For those of us that use libraries, I encourage you to familiarize yourselves with the collections your library may be able to provide access to online. I've certainly relied on my library privileges for such sources many times in the course of editing Wikipedia, particularly news archives (including the Wall Street Journal).
