This page is to list instances where the mainstream media used the stuff that I wrote in Wikipedia :

1. When Budhi Kunderan died in June 2006, more than half of the Hindu obituary] was adapted from the Wiki article. This was probably the version that they used.

2. The introduction that Cricinfo used in their article about the Victory Calypso is from here. Why they found these lousy four lines worth quoting, I have no idea.

3. This is more interesting. Encyclopaedia Britannica had a long standing error that they called Frank Woolley, a great English cricketer, a "Canadian cricketer, one of the greatest of all time". After this was made the subject of a question in WP:CRIC, EB fixed it within a couple of days.

4. In this Indian Express article, the first paragraph of the Brabourne Stadium appears as is.

5. Bits and pieces of Dilip Sardesai appeared in several obituaries, most notably a mention of his 435 runs in a seasion in Rohinton Baria Trophy (which I had got from an obscure Sujit Mukherjee book). The one that follows the Wiki article the closest appeared in Independent, it almost reads like a good effort in copyediting our article. The older Sardesai article here and Independent
