Better have a look at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/KDE_and_Wikipedia

What it says is that Wikipedia will support on their side SOAP/WSDL as 
the standard to provide their
web service (as opposed to XML RPC which they are not going to use), and 
KDE, on their part, will create
an API so that KDE applications can use instead of having to interface 
directly with SOAP/WSDL to Wikipedia.

This does not block GNOME at all to create a similar API so that GTK+ 
applications can use to access Wikipedia content.
Is there a SOAP/WSDL library for GNOME?

Perhaps libsoup?
