IF we aren't the first publication of it, THEN we're not causing harm.
We're simply sharing information, nothing more and nothing less.

A newspaper article is usually published once and never heard from again
unless someone goes looking for it.
Wikipedia is a highly visible place, so we bring things to people's
attention that would otherways be forgotten. I'd say that means we could
cause harm whether we're the first, second or third.
