The 77 cases that were given a Wikipedia article saw a 17% increase in citations after publication.

One significant outcome of giving a case a Wikipedia article described in the paper but not in the article is that the case receives an infobox visible at the top of search results for most search engines.

Maybe there's a rising tide of interest in certain cases that lifts both Wikipedians and jurists.
Cases were randomly selected to have Wikipedia write-ups posted about them or not.

This is all in the article.
