Good stuff! It'd be nice if the data was pre-loaded in some way that doesn't hinder the page load time. Not sure how, off-hand, but know it's possible.

Each link is a request to Wikipedia, so I thought it would be better to request only if the user mouse over and wants to fetch the data. But yes, could be an option to pre-load :)

I haven't looked at the code yet, but how modular is the data source? Incorporating things like Google's dictionary extension could make this a pretty versatile little tool.

I gave preloading a shot. Should work fine for you.
