The mobile Wikipedia page disallow using the zoom controls on the T-Mobile G1 Android browser (and probably most other mobile WebKit implementations). The HTML contains the following line: <meta name = "viewport" content = "width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" /> thus preventing the user from zooming in and out. As the default font size is too small to be properly readable on the G1, the only workaround is to use the non-mobile page, which renders very slowly and causes higher traffic costs. Please remove the user-scalable attribute or set it to 1 instead, to make the mobile Wikipedia accessible for visually impaired people.
Should be corrected on Android.
Can't zoom on my iPod Touch from my limited knowledge has the same webkit engine.
Don't know if this applies to the android browser, but for the iPod implementation for viewport[0] but try setting user-scalable to 1 (on) and give a proper value to maximum scale so it can be zoomed, since I'm going to guess that 1.0 for initial and max will prevent it also.
