It is possible to download a SQL dump of the wikipedia databse from
http://donwload.wikipedia.org  Then that databae could be used to
generate the pages on the site.  More info can be found at the
following address, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Forking_FAQ

I hope this helps.  Please contact me if you have any more questions.
