No; it carries a Creative Commons Attribution/Share Alike 3.0 license, and much of the text is also usable under GNU Free Documentation License. These licenses are unlike public domain in that they recognize the material is copyrightable, but allow usage, duplication, and alteration without permission, as long as the user properly cites the source and issues the resulting material under the same license.

In English, that means you can use most Wikipedia materials without permission, but you must also allow use of your new material without permission.

Please note that some media on Wikipedia is issued under slightly different licenses.
