Because Wikipedia is reusable, a source is not considered plagiarized content if it gives attribution to Wikipedia. Content can be legally copied and republished verbatim from Wikipedia as long as attribution is provided. Such sources may be cited on Wikipedia, but with extra caution to ensure avoiding citogenesis. Material sourced from Wikipedia should not be re-referenced on Wikipedia. If a book does not give a separate source, assume it was from Wikipedia - use the article's revision history to verify.

• This book explicitly acknowledges Wikipedia as a source in the Preface, and is thus not plagiarized. However, because the book takes directly from a wide range of articles on Wikipedia without exhaustive attribution, editors are prone to citogenesis with this book.
