Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia on TV and radio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a few NPR shows that reference Wikipedia articles as sources.
- Weekend Edition Saturday correction about first TV sitcom Jan. 24, 2004 references Mary Kay and Johnny
- Talk of the Nation Science Friday October 31, 2003, references Ötzi the Iceman
- Talk of the Nation Science Friday June 20, 2003, references Quantum entanglement
I'm not sure which category they should go in. older≠wiser 23:08, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Paper's 'wikitorial' trial halted 21 June 05 on the BBC, refers to Wikipedia, Jimbo Wales. 202.0.43.65 22:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Now if we can just get them to mention and use Wikipedia on Law & Order or Crossing Jordan, it'll feel like that first time being slashdotted all over again.
[edit] Is this a "mere reference"?
The episode of Mastermind broadcast on 21st August 2006 on the BBC2 television channel in the UK featured this question in its general knowledge round: "Which internet encyclopedia was founded by Jimmy Wales in 2001?" The contestant gave the correct answer: "Wikipedia."
Is this a "mere reference" according to the bit at the top of the page, and hence, should this go somewhere else, like Wikipedia in popular culture? Carcharoth 20:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Looking at the other examples on the page, I've gone ahead and added this anyway. Carcharoth 20:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cisco
Cisco commercial with music by The Who aired on October 11, 2006. It shows a child reading Wikipedia on a laptop.
