Not surprisingly, the UK courts do not take that view, and reciprocal
legal arrangements between the US and the UK make it possible to pursue
non-payment of UK judgements in US courts.
Not surprisingly, you are misinformed on this point. UK courts take the
view that they do not have jurisdiction over US publications. For
example, were the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to defame a Briton, they
would not be able to sue in UK courts.
I don't think any court would see Wikipedia as being a newspaper.
