It's not just Wikipedia. I can easily spend an hour or more looking at the new posts here each day or on other forums or imdb...
Basically, if you don't spend your time on purpose, it is easy to get sucked into such time sinks. After all, you didn't decide to spend the time there consciously, so how could you possibly decide to stop within a reasonable amount of time? Naturally, when you finally do stop, you will feel that you "wasted" an hour that you could have spent doing something more productive.
