A second-year history-of-art student. She reads Wikipedia constantly and cites it never — her use of the site is to find out whose work to read next. Fast, sceptical, and more interested in the reference list than the article.

A student will not cite an encyclopedia, but she will use one to find out who to cite. This is the path from a sentence she does not trust to the reference behind it — and what changes when she does the same thing on a phone.
Four taps from an unattributed sentence to a named source, without ever losing her place in the paragraph.
