Want to see the first televised English-language news story about #Wikipedia? According to Jimmy Wales, this 2003 CNN story was the first televised news item he saw about Wikipedia on American TV.

It also happens to be about my university class where 80 students edited Wikipedia articles about Hong Kong, the first classroom assignment of its kind in a college setting.
