I am writing an academic article. For this research, I
am creating an
index, which I would like to call the "Wikipedia Global Consciousness
Index."
The relevant section is "nominative use".

My personal impression is that your proposed name is potentially
misleading, while it would be merely descriptive to call it "Global
Consciousness Index for Wikipedia" or something like that. A separate
matter would be the usage of the trademark beyond the name, e.g. on the
frontpage of the website or cover of a document.
