There's no standard method as far as I know - there's certainly no central authority.
You could report your suspicions to Wikipedia - they might be interested.
You could tell the publisher about it.
You could ask the author about the passage
You could mention on your blog that you found a passage in the book that reminded you of part of a wikipedia entry, and include both extracts. So long as you stick to provable facts you should be OK. e.g. don't entitle the entry "<Famous author> steals from wikipedia!")
You should also check the wikipedia page's history, to make sure that the wikipedia entry hasn't been copied from the book!
