I've started seeing this on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia sources an article from a semi-legit source. That semi-legit source either just says "sources" or points to something less-legit, like a Tweet.

You can bring new "facts" into existence by just laundering them from lower- and lower-quality sources.



Source-laundering is a bit catchy, I have to say.
