Better not. I've run into some situations where people saw citations 
that linked to other Wikipedia articles and assumed that the article was 
citing Wikipedia, whereas in fact it was really citing a third-party 
source and linking to the Wikipedia article _about_ that third-party 
source simply as a convenience for the reader.
