This may be a regional thing. According to Alexa, Craiglist is the 11th most popular US web site, while Wikipedia is 7th. Compete.com's numbers, which I think are pretty US-centric, show Craigslist with 50m monthly users. It has also been popular for a relatively long time, predating Wikipedia by a number of years. Like Wikipedia, it gets a fair bit of media coverage not just for what it is, but because it has a lot of interest for journalists; Craiglist is frequently mentioned as major cause of declining US newspaper revenues because it destroyed much of the classified ads market.
