Precis: litigant brings up Wikipedia description, court rejects it
because anyone can edit Wikipedia. So pretty much in accordance with
our general advice ;-)

That said, the litigant asserted that a long-standing Wikipedia
definition could itself be taken as evidence of "common usage" ...
that's interestingly plausible. I wonder if someone will get a court
to accept that when it's relevant.
