It seems more in line with the other new elements like <section> if it is really just a new element to structure your own general content rather than merely something to refer to outside content. w3schools has let me down! I fact checked most everything one WHATWG but you're right, it tends to get pretty technical so it's easier to take w3schools at their word. WHATWG definitely suggests that you are correct.

Best place to read about HTML5 (if you can handle all the technical jargon!) is straight from the horse’s mouth, ie. WHATWG or W3C. Take anything you read on w3schools with a pinch of salt. They have nothing to do with W3C, and have been known to have inaccurate tutorials in the past. Ouch—it’s not unlike them to spread completely wrong information though!

I was getting my information here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5_article.asp "The <article> tag defines external content. The external content could be a news-article from an external provider, or a text from a web log (blog), or a text from a forum, or any other content from an external source."

“The

tag defines external content.

The external content could be a news-article from an external provider, or a text from a web log (blog), or a text from a forum, or any other content from an external source.”

It is not for marking up references to external content. It is a block level element for writing a self-contained article, eg. a blog post, a news article, a story, etc. You would write the entire contents of said article within the element, using section elements to break it down if necessary. For example, this blog post would contained within an article element, with section elements used to split the document into sections about the canvas element, the article element, the audio and video elements etc. See http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/sections.html#the-article-element for more information on how you are supposed to use the article element.
