NOR  covers "no investigative journalism".>>

I wouldn't quite go this far.
If the Wikipedia editor as an "investigate journalist" actually  interviews 
someone, that would be Original Research.
 
However if the "investigative journalist" goes to the library and look's  the 
subject up in 12 other sources, that would not be Original Research.   And 
yet still that journalist might uncover unsavory details from the past or  
present, not yet included in the article.
 
It would really depend on how the term "investigative" is being  defined.
