Puts the neutrality of the Wikipedia into severe doubt, though. Parliament speeches aren't particularly known for choosing a neutral point of view.
Anyone can freely use the Wikipedia articles, even politicians (or dictators :p), as long as they cite the source (no one quotes :(
The Italian parliament quickly changed its mind cause they can't make new speechs without the Wikipedia articles help, hahahaha. (And their children were failing to do their school homeworks :p)
Wikipedia is needed for everyone, any place.

Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, but just for lulz. A finnish member of parliament just got caught for his speech being a word for word piece of snippets from a Finnish Wikipedia article. No intervening binding lines, just the Wikipedia text. Way to go!!!
