We've had this happen at least one other time (for a different article) and both then and now I've never found any cause. I think it' s likely on Google's side. For both occasions I've done deep dives on the page to see if anything out of the ordinary existed that could cause it as well as through the webmaster tools which did not contain any of the warning messages which would stick around even if it's a fleeting actual issue.

When I logged into the webmaster tools and followed their instructions to resolve the issue it said that en.wikipedia.org had no security issues.
I guess whatever happened has been fixed and we just need to wait for it

Dan,
Martin Anderson says (in the article I linked to) this has been occurring for several days, and it points out that Google has no problems with the site in general. http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=en.wikipedia.org
A comment on that article suggests that maybe bad links on the page are the cause..?
