"wikipedia" becomes a common term for reference sources and online projects of various sorts, like "the wikipedia of baseball statistics".
I see that happening in Germany once in a while, too. It started with other Wiki projects on particular subjects and more and more, "Wikipedia" can be used as a metaphor on something that contains lots of information.
Even if there are some negative consequences associated with that development, the positive implications are much larger.
