The only thing I know... is that other associations started listing themselves as being partners with wikipedia. I raised the topic on the french mailing list about what could be a partner and how to decide who was a partner and who was not.
Related to this is that the Open Directory Project claims Wikipedia is their sister project. See the end of http://dmoz.org/Reference/, for example. This was mentioned at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:External_links#More_restrictive_... licy_on_external_linking but not really discussed on Wikipedia as far as I know. There is (or at least used to be) a "Wikipedia now a Sister site?" thread at Dmoz http://forums.dmoz.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=908066 (you need to be an editor there to read it, and my login has expired so I can't guarantee that link still works).
And this torques me off, because Dmoz is a frighteningly corrupt and autocratic community and their licensing and copyright policy is diametrical to Wikipedia's. Maybe if they were willing to admit to being our evil stepsister.
