On the non-extremist flip side, Wikipedia's massive Google Rank was built on the backs of people linking to articles from their own sites. Some allowance of this isn't a bad thing or endorsement of anything, it's basic netiquette.
The pagerank is the result of wikipedia being the easiest authoritative link for a wide range of topics. Quick, I have a blog entry mentioning cholesterol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol) I don't even have to check it.
People link to wikipedia it's because it's easy, and a good resource. We don't owe anything to them other than staying commited to our various goals of maintaining a quality encyclopedia.
