Oh, it's certainly a good idea, and doesn't hurt anything, to mention Wikipedia as the source. But we can't *require* people to do so, and write them nasty letters if they don't, unless it actually is a legal requirement, which I don't think it is.
We may be able to argue that it is since we explicitly give people the option of providing a link-back in lieu of the more strict author requirement of the GNU FDL. Given our liberal interpretation of the GNU FDL I don't think that a mention of our project's name is much to ask (even if it is just a request, and not a mandate). As I said before this may even go beyond the GNU FDL and get into proper referencing practices.
