Since it is a collective and probabilistic phenomenon, no quantum information about the single particles is cloned and, accordingly, the no cloning theorem remains inviolate.

Messages are not probabilistic. Or to put it another way, if there is no message then that element is missing from the Shannon model and communication - information - has not happened.

I don’t think Wikipedia cares much about the Shannon model. It appears that other articles do not adhere to it as well. This thread is the first I’ve heard of it. So, to impose the Shannon model on people who have been using the word “information” for decades is a bit much for me to go along with at this point in time.

Oh so true, dearest sister in Christ! Dear Kevmo, please note.
