Technically, that is what we used to call "reinjection". Now it is called
"Gatewaying after the fact", which is a bit of a mouthfull. Neither term
really indicates that the person/entity doing it may be completely
unaware that either multiple- or re-injection is taking place.

How could you not be aware that multiple injection is taking place?  Some
agent involved in the process clearly *does* know this unless the multiple
injection is being done manually by a human, in which case the *human*
knows this.  You're starting with an existing news article rather than
with a blank screen and an editor; that's a pretty obvious difference.

In the "gatewaying" case, the guy that does the second injection knows that multiple injection is taking place. The guy (process, human or exotic) doing the first injection may or may not know.
