I would be very hesitant to cite wikipedia because it will change -
hopefully for the better - so that in some number of years the
citation may not make much sense. Your paper may even become the
foundation for the page you cite, wiping out whatever you 
originally referred to.

Wikipedia is a great place to collaboratively organize information,
and promises to be a major reference, even if not cited in the sense
that fixed media can be cited.
