Is anyone else using Wikipedia content as Web site content?

linking to a site is always ok. Pasting Could be more questionable. Technically, if you paste from wikipedia you must include their license in the text. The specifics can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL

Wikipedia is good, but you have to be extra careful to evaluate the accuracy of postings.  They have gone to some trouble to revise and edit content, but it's not the same as having a few select experts on a specific field write the article (like a traditional encyclopedia).  I would be comfortable using it as a source, but certainly not my only source.

It's superbly useful. Some of the articles are extremely scholarly. It is so broad in scope that I find I can always use it instead of a web search engine for at least a bare-bones sketch on any subject. (A search for a subject usually gives a Wikipedia artilce near the top anyway). \n\nThis is partly its downfall however. When I read a student's paper I have to admit my heart sinks if I see that their only reference to a given subject is a Wikipedia URL\n\nLike any encyclopedia, the articles which provide references to external sources for continued research are most useful.\n\nIf you don't know about it already, check out the good-humoured (and very funny) spoof site:\nhttp://www.uncyclopedia.org\n\nhttp://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncyclopedia

I think it's fundamentally different.  Wikipedia is a replacement for an encyclopedia, so it's a great source of general knowledge.  Yahoo! Answers seeks to be a repository of more esoteric tribal knowledge which may not be easily found in an encyclopedia.  There is of course some overlap as people ask questions which can be answered easily by wikipedia, but yours is a prime example of one that cannot. ;)
