The New York Times has opened an internal investigation after a passage in an article by Carol Vogel was cited by FishbowlNY for being similar to a passage from Wikipedia. 

Vogel's article on Italian Renaissance painter Piero di Cosimo allegedly contained a passage similar enough to the Wikipedia entry to prompt the Times to review the allegations, according to Politico:

The paragraph, discovered by FishbowlNY on Monday, appears in a July 24 article and is almost identical to a passage from the Wikipedia entry on di Cosimo, with minor word swaps and grammatical changes. Gawker's J.K. Trotter flagged the Fishbowl report on Tuesday.
