This is indeed an interesting study. I wonder - do we have a page that
lists all citable academic studies of wikipedia published in journals or
conference proceedings? Of course it would not be in article space. It
would be a usefull help for anyone writing an article on wikipedia. If
we do not have such a page, should we? and what do we call it?
[[Wikipedia:Academic studies on Wikipedia]]?
