I've found a citation of my own work on Wikipedia for the first time!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_magma

Naturally, I read this page before I wrote my rock-paper-scissors paper. It's neat to see that my own work is now the citation for something that was unsourced "original research" on Wikipedia.

Commutative magma - Wikipedia

@caten
How did you notice?
@keithnator3000 I was on this journal page (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00012-020-00667-5) and saw that Altmetric said there was a Wikipedia reference. After a couple guesses I found the article.
Multiplayer rock–paper–scissors - Algebra universalis

We study a class of algebras we regard as generalized rock–paper–scissors games. We determine when such algebras can exist, show that these algebras generate the varieties generated by hypertournament algebras, count these algebras, study their automorphisms, and determine their congruence lattices. We produce a family of finite simple algebras.

@caten Awesome, well done!

Thanks to your post, and the inevitable academic envy/personal vanity it sparked in me, I went to double check. And I'm afraid that I can go one better: I'm (also) quoted in Wiktionary as an example of a word usage. O.o I never would have thought...

@highergeometer That's neat! I'm a big fan of Wiktionary too.
