I think it's inevitable that given the high profile Wikipedia is increasingly having, more people are getting involved - and a smaller proportion of them are highly interested in developing an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is in one of the "top sites" spots now, like it or not.
Slightly OT, but I've seen a lot of confusion between the terms "wiki" and "Wikipedia" due to our high profile; people will call a wiki a "Wikipedia", people will call Wikipedia "wiki" and people will call articles "wikis", too.
There's also the added confusion of what is "the Wiki" - is it Wikipedia, the Portland Pattern Repository (IIRC the "original" wiki), or Meatball?
