Hi
We dont mirror the entire wikipedia article directly, but we do  
provide the wikipedia key so that you can get the article from  
wikipedia.
For example.

/topic/en/radiohead has property     "/wikipedia/topic/en_id" : "38252"

Which allows you to fetch:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=38252

As others have pointed out wikipedia has several ways to get their  
full text
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=38252&action=render

More options are available via their API.
