Re: Use of Wikipedia Content
Wikipedia articles are written by various individuals like yourself who have no expectations that the articles they write are copyright protected. They donated them to Wikipedia and the public.

It's probably best you clearly acknowledge Wikipedia as your source in your book's Forward, because if you don't and the book becomes popular, then detractors will use that against you.
