Plagiariser of Wikipedia[edit]

The Futility Closet episode 050-The Great Tea Race substantially plagiarises the Wikipedia article Great Tea Race of 1866. It is not too obvious early on, but later in the podcast, they are pretty much reading directly from the article. There is very little material in the podcast that is not in the article (and it is easily looked up in the citations for the article). Other differences in the podcast are where they have read dates with a transposition of digits - so errors not differences. There is no credit of Wikipedia.
