War & Ethics: A New Just War Theory by Nicolas Fotion. I don't have a pdf....its an actual book, but the citation is clearly on page 165....it actually cites two wikipedia pages for Chapters 7 and 8.

It surprised me too....that's why I remembered it. Funny thing is....its actually a good read on just war theory.


Okay, that's one example. I tried to check it out on Amazon, but it went from 163 to 167, coincidentally. You said texts. That implies more than one. Do you have others?

No, typo on my part.

Then it's anecdotal fallacy.

Are you being serious or facetious? I actually have to make an argument in order for it to be an anecdotal fallacy.....as in I need to argue that an isolated incidence implies some general truth. I just made the simple observation that I've seen an academic cite wikipedia...not that this means academics cite wikipedia all the time.

I mean.....I actually mentioned I was surprised that the book cited wikipedia.....because I've never seen another academic work cite wikipedia.
