I'm really not sure this has faded as much as you make out. I mean, I stumbled across *yet another* of those "let's look at Wikipedia, isn't it really exciting" articles today entirely by accident - http://thephoenix.com/article_ektid52864.aspx
But I'll note that this positively-toned article does include a link to Wikipedia Review, showing that even friendly, sympathetic reporters don't seem to share the "Linking to attack sites is EVIL!" taboo.
People outside a community don't share that community shibboleths! Film at eleven, as I believe they say. ;-)
It seems to me to be inevitable that any balanced piece over a page or two in length is going to link to WR (or a similar site), in much the same way as it's guaranteed to have a paragraph or two on Citizendium or Knol or whatever other competitor just got a press release issued.
