Toot

I've found a citation of my own work on Wikipedia for the first time!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_magma

Naturally, I read this page before I wrote my rock-paper-scissors paper. It's neat to see that my own work is now the citation for something that was unsourced "original research" on Wikipedia.

@keithnator3000 I was on this journal page (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00012-020-00667-5) and saw that Altmetric said there was a Wikipedia reference. After a couple guesses I found the article.

@caten Awesome, well done!

Thanks to your post, and the inevitable academic envy/personal vanity it sparked in me, I went to double check. And I'm afraid that I can go one better: I'm (also) quoted in Wiktionary as an example of a word usage. O.o I never would have thought...

@highergeometer That's neat! I'm a big fan of Wiktionary too.
