Can Wikipedia be used as a verb?

The trend today is to verbalize any word at any time at the drop or split of an infinitive. But to do so invites the wrath of lexicographers everywhere.

Pseudo-words like 'texting' and 'networking' are giving true wordsmiths apoplexy at this moment...somewhere.

RE:

As in, "I didn't know much about sushi, so I took a few minutes to Wikipedia it and learn some more."

And would I need to continually capitalize it when it's a verb, rather than a proper noun?

Verb Wiki

I prefer to remember a verb as a doing word (something that is done) eg: He was falling into a dark chasm. Falling is the verb, cos that's what he's doing. I can't imagine ever having to use the word approbation in a sentence and i think you mean noun not known. A noun is an object, using my example the noun is the man and the chasm, both things that exist. An adverb is a word that describes a verb and usually ends in ly. (adverb is like adjective, except adverb describes the verb and adjective describs the noun.) eg: He was falling blindly into the chasm. Blindly is the adverb because it describes how he is falling, another good adverb would be quickly. Don't worry, it wasn't easy for me, when i was in my sixth year, so i made myself learn.

well, i think you can use it as a verb. but, instead of saying "Wikipedia it," you can say "look it up" or "research it"

and yes, you need to capitalize it. Wikipedia is a name, even when it's a verb...

hope this help :)

well the use that has been used around the net is 'wiki it' so u would say 'i just wiki-ed it'

Sure you can! I will wikipedia it sounds great for me.

Yes it can be, but not the way that you used it.........you should say," I wiki-ed it"

ummmmm...
