Why not? Will it suddenly become 'uncool' to be a Wikipedian once the word enters public usage?

I played around a little bit there today. "Wiki" was considered a new word. "Wikipedia" and "Wikipedian" are being considered, but the definitions are lifted from the first paragraph of the Wikipedia articles without credit.
This concerns me. Anyone else? Not the lack of credit per se, but the idea that these "words" are being considered as neologisms. Wikipedia is our trade mark, and perhaps we should also claim "Wikipedian". We don't want these to fall into general use.
