I note we haven't even had a takedown notice yet.
To send a takedown notice the MPAA would have to find a case where the number is up (it is but not too easy to find)
Note also that Wikipedia is a really bad site to sue when the article is academically entirely defensible. Not even the Scientologists, famed for their chutzpah, have tried.
Scientology largely gave up on those kind of lawsuits before wikipedia came along.

I don't know of any court system where number of friends is a significant factor in the final judgement.
I really doubt we're in danger, and if they were to try they'd be utterly, utterly fucked. The skies would turn black with fully armed combat ninja pro bono First Amendment lawyers.
