A spokesman for Mail Newspapers said: “It is hard to know whether to
laugh or cry at this move by Wikipedia. For the record the Daily Mail
banned all its journalists from using Wikipedia as a sole source in 2014
because of its unreliability.

Well they certainly weren't laughing when they spoke to me...although I was

The irony is that the Mail fails to understand that they are in line with
Wikipedia's own policy, which states that it does not use other Wikipedia
pages as a source:
‘Wikipedia articles (and Wikipedia mirrors) are not reliable sources for
any purpose (except as sources on themselves per WP:SELFSO

I suspect we need to build up the UK press corps again. The call comes
maybe every 1-2 years, but when it happens we need people. So if you see an
email come by, you can *SPRING* into action and represent editors on the
BBC ...
Last night's Newsnight didnt happen, because the Daily Mail bottled it
