I once saw a professor visiting a Wikipedia article on maths found from a Google search, but he abandoned it just after a few seconds. Another professor has advised us never to cite material not hosted on .edu or .ac.uk or other educational domains.
If Wikipedia does not change its attitudes, it will eventually die from brain drain: New, more expertise-friendly and intellectual wikis will emerge and WP's knowledgeable users will just immigrate there.
Alternately, you seem to be suggesting that Wikipedia needs to do is get an .edu or .ac.uk domain name.
