I've never seen a self-citing encyclopedia. Given its open editing structure it would be so easy to game the system by creating a series of cross-references. In short forbidding citing Wikipedia on Wikipedia avoids such short-circuits. No text is 100% accurate, Wikipedia relies upon the bet that

Martin, Dennis The tenor of your arguments appears to be that Wikipedia is in fact reliable, because it uses reliable sources, but that it pretends not to be because it's too hard to prevent people writing article based on other articles. This is not in accord with the facts. As I pointed out,

Hi, Yes, James' pricing doesn't match the actual cost. We do not need to check all images uploaded to Commons, only the suspicious ones (small images without EXIF data). If we check 2,000 images a day (more than enough IMO), that would cost $7 a day, so $210 a month. Regards, Yann Le mar. 18
