No, I checked the wikipedia article on the date before he published his piece.

And yes, some of his article is making his way back to wikipedia - but now wikipedia has a ref.

That might be a business opportunity - create a magazine that publishes rewrites of Wikipedia articles in need of references (for a moderate fee). It could actually even be a magazine with interesting, if diverse, content!

I just subscribe to the Daily Article ML (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/daily-article-l)!
