In all truthiness, it is a word.
I love Stephen Colbert. I always warn my students about Wikiality when doing research papers too.
I volunteer as a judge at local science fairs. It is pretty disturbing how the only background "research" cited in many projects is Wikipedia.
I did improv in Chicago many years ago with a young man from Carleton College who is now a write for the Colbert Report.
