wikipedia -- mainstream media sighting   05.08.2006, 7:10 AM

In his op-ed piece today, NY Times columnist, Paul Krugman, quotes from the Wikipedia to define conspiracy theory:

A conspiracy theory, says Wikipedia, "attempts to explain the cause of an event as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance."

This is the first time I've seen the Wikipedia used as an authoritative reference in the Times or any other major media outlet.
