96.6% of Wikipedia Pages Rank in Google’s Top 10
While everyone has noticed Wikipedia dominating Google’s search results, this is a little outrageous. After grabbing 600 random pages from Wikipedia (using their special:random link), I conducted searches in Google for each of the titles of the Wikipedia entries. Out of the 600, 580 were in the top 10.

People who are always complaining about how Wikipedia is unreliable don’t know how to use it.
Wikipedia is and never was intended to be an academic journal. It’s a STARTING POINT, not the endpoint of your research. Always take a look at the references used. If it doesn’t have some, don’t trust it, if it does, follow those links to verify the information. Each Wikipedia page has plenty of links to its sources so you can read them on your own. A word of warning, some might go over your head.
Wikipedia still getting bad press, not everything in life is perfect, however the majority of the information is generally relevant and correct, if not then you are able to edit what you like when you like!
In the U.S. Wikipedia is in most results on any engine.
What’s the glory of winning a race if the race or a contest is
fixed ? Wikipedia pays company who utilizing search engines(or another company) to be there at the top. Except or unless, you
were to only put very common search in, like ‘the soap is in the
trash”.
/
Wikipedia is a great resource for pretty much all the relevant information one needs on daily basis and this community run enterprise will thrive further in the future as well.
